Chapter 202 Two penalty kicks, 1 to 1
In the sixth round of the Italian Football League in the 2014-2015 season, last season's champions and runners-up, Juventus and Roma, finally met in the new season.And these two teams, in the previous five rounds of the league, have steadily kept the victory of each game in their pockets.

Therefore, this game is a "six-point battle" for these two teams. Whoever wins will take the lead in this season's Serie A championship.And they won all six games with 18 points, firmly sitting at the top of the standings.And if anyone loses, then on the one hand, pray to the Virgin Mary that the opponent will "drop the chain" in the next game, and at the same time see if he can win back in another contest when he is off work. .

Therefore, after the game started, both sides played very cautiously.No one dared to attack the opponent's half court on a large scale.Although these two teams are not conservative teams judging from the tactical formations arranged by their respective head coaches at the beginning of the game.Juventus is 3-5-2. Although 5 players are sent in the midfield, can the 3 defenders be a conservative formation?

As for the Roma team, the 4-3-3 formation is a standard offensive formation.

However, in the face of such a game related to the final ownership of Serie A, a "six-point battle." Whether it is Juventus coach Allegri or Roma coach Rudy - Garcia.Presumably before the start of the game, I repeatedly emphasized to my teammates in the locker room:

"At the beginning of the game, you must stabilize your formation and never rush to attack."

But why football is loved by the world.It is because there is so much drama in a football game.For Italians, opera, food, and football are all people's favorite things.And sometimes, when watching the highlights of some competitions, it is accompanied by some gorgeous singing excerpts from famous operas. Isn't this an excellent match?

Therefore, although after the game started, the two sides attacked each other, but they were either saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, or they flew out of the goal range.And when the game progressed to about 25 minutes in the first half, after all, Juventus had two more midfielders than Roma. Moreover, compared with the level of Juventus players, Roma Still missing something.Therefore, the Juventus team also controlled football to the danger zone of the Roma team through their powerful midfielder.

Then the Roma team's formation must shrink, and the defense line will all retreat into the penalty area. The midfielders also work with the forward players to actively press Juventus' ball-holding midfielders.

But, suddenly, the referee's whistle blew.On the lawn of the Alpi Stadium, Pirlo wearing Juventus' No. 21 was shoveled and fell to the ground, and Totti, who was shoveled Pirlo, wearing the Roma No. 10 jersey, also took the initiative to stretch out. Shot and pulled Pirlo up.

It seems that the atmosphere of the game between the players of both sides is relatively good, although this game is related to the competition for the league championship between the two sides.And the referee only awarded Juventus a free kick in a fairly good position.Nor did he show a yellow card to Totti, just a verbal warning.

For the next free kick, Pirlo and Victor immediately stood in front of the football. Seeing this scene, the Roma team quickly formed a four-man wall.You don't need too many people, after all, the distance is still a bit far, and the goalkeeper has enough time to react.

However, if Victor and Pirlo stand in front of the goal, it may make these players in Rome a little nervous.Victor and Pirlo also whispered to each other for a while, and then after the referee blew the whistle to allow a free kick, Victor took the lead in the run-up.

"Victor? Or Pirlo?" Gentili said uncertainly when he saw Victor running up, and then when he saw Victor running in front of the football, he stepped on the turf firmly with his left foot, and swung When he raised his right foot, Gentile shouted loudly:

"It's Victor!"

The football kicked by Victor immediately flew towards the wall formed by the Roma team.But the football did not cross the human wall, but was stopped by Maicon, the right back of the Roma team who lined up in the human wall.However, the Juventus players immediately raised their arms, and then they all looked at the referee Rocky, and at the same time shouted loudly:
"It's a penalty! Sir!"

Yes, when Maicon was defending the free kick, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but anyway, when Maicon was defending the free kick, the football hit Maicon's raised arm.For such behavior, the referee will usually call a penalty kick.

The referee Rocky immediately blew the whistle in his mouth, temporarily stopping the game.Immediately afterwards, he pointed to the penalty spot inside the penalty area of ​​Rome and awarded a penalty to Juventus.However, this penalty immediately caused dissatisfaction among the players of the Roma team.Because the Roma players believed that Maicon had accidentally handballed the ball outside the penalty area, a penalty should not be awarded.But then, Rocky's actions caused even more controversy.

Because after awarding a penalty to Juventus, Rocky reached out to greet Maicon to come to his side, and at the same time took out the red and yellow cards in his pocket.And when Maicon came to his side, Rocky immediately waved the yellow card he had prepared in front of Maicon.Then he took out his small notebook for recording red and yellow cards and started writing immediately.

In this way, the players of the Roma team are naturally even more reluctant, and a penalty kick is awarded. Well, misjudgments are also part of the game.But now, the referee actually decided that Maicon had intentionally handballed the ball, and gave Maicon another yellow card.As a result, the players of the Roma team immediately surrounded the referee Rocky.But this has no effect, and the referee at most just talked to Roma captain Totti for a while, and then continued to insist on his judgment.

The penalty cannot be changed, and the Juventus players are already ready to take the penalty kick.It was Victor who made the penalty.After Victor stood in front of the penalty spot, he looked at the Roma goalkeeper, Skorupski, who was standing in front of the Roma goal, and then shifted his gaze to the referee.Then after hearing the referee blow the whistle to allow a penalty kick, Victor immediately ran up, looked at the position of the football with his eyes, and turned his body to his left side.

"Left? Right?" Victor's series of actions before the free throw made Roma's goalkeeper Skorupski unable to perceive Victor's true intentions.And Victor has already kicked the football out at this time.The direction is the lower left corner of the goal.

Now when Skorupski saw the football flying towards the gate he was guarding, he was helpless.Then the football suddenly rushed into the gate of the Roma team behind Skorupski. 1 to 0, Juventus took the lead in the first half.

The Juventus players gathered together to celebrate the goal, but there was a sudden commotion in the command area outside the stadium.Because Roma coach Rudi Garcia protested again because of the penalty awarded to Juventus by the referee.

Because the head coach of the Roma team, Rudy Garcia, believed that Maicon touched the football outside the penalty area and should not call a penalty kick, and Rudy Garcia, who was so excited, also made a decision to the referee. A gesture of protest "in favor of the penalty".At this time, the referee Rocky, who felt that his authority had been challenged, immediately yelled at himself, and the head coach of the Roma team, Rudy Garcia, who had a protest gesture in his hand, did not hesitate. A red card is shown.Rudy Garcia is sent off the court.

Seeing this scene, Gentile had no way to comment, but Marchegiani, who was sitting next to Gentile, said:
"This penalty, Rocky's red card against Roma coach Rudy Garcia is a bit too much. In fact, it is also because Rudy Garcia is a little impatient. After all, in the league, Juventus' ability It is far beyond other teams in the league. Generally, if Juventus is allowed to score first, then this game is basically likely to be included in the rhythm of Juventus. However, no matter what Said that Rocky's red card may have some adverse effects on the next game."

The subsequent development of the game confirmed Marchegiani's comments, just five minutes after Juventus won the penalty.It can be said that the Juventus fans at home have not yet recovered from the excitement generated by this goal, and the Roma team actually won a penalty.

The reason is that the Roma team got an indirect free kick, and those "tall" players of the Roma team must have stood around Juventus' goal.This naturally made Juventus' defensive players nervous for a while, afraid of being equalized by the Roma team.

However, sometimes what you are afraid of will come.After Roma's Pjanic took this free kick, within Juventus' penalty area, players from both sides must have some small moves in this free kick competition.And suddenly, the referee's whistle sounded again.

The Juventus and Roma players who heard the referee blew the whistle naturally stopped fighting for the football, and then everyone followed the referee's running route, and saw a Roma player collapsed. After entering Juventus' penalty area, the Roma player also sat directly on the lawn. It was the captain of the Roma team, Totti.On the other hand, Juventus's Lysis Steiner stood on the sidelines and waved his hands violently at the referee, as if he was defending himself.

But Rocky ignored Lisisteiner, just like the last penalty kick, he firmly and forcefully pointed his finger at the penalty spot in Juventus' penalty area.Penalty kick and a yellow card for Lich Steiner.

Roma's penalty was naturally handed over to Roma's captain Totti to take the penalty.Without any fake moves, Totti, who is getting older and more demonic, can do it overnight.The goal is scored, 1 to 1.
