Chapter 241
"George's Blackburn faced such a strong opponent for the first time in the UEFA Cup. Looking at the Roma team's starting list, Capello is the main force. The main goalkeeper is Francisco Antonio. Three defenders It is Ardair, Zago, Admeo Mangoni, the five midfielders are Cafu, Tomasi, Di Biagio, Totti, Candela, and the two forwards are Montella and Delvez profound."

"Before the season, it was rumored that Inter Milan wanted to buy Di Biagio, but unfortunately it didn't happen in the end. Di Biagio's performance this season is still okay."

"Looking at Blackburn again, George has no reservations. The goalkeeper is Cudicini, the back line is Van Bronckhorst, Ferdinand, Hyypia, Sagnol from left to right, and the midfielder is from left to right. It's Pires, Deco, Micoud, Makelele, Duff and the lone striker is Klose."

"Sagnol, he came back after resting for nearly four months. The state of the last few games is not bad."

After the game started, Mortensen quickly told the audience the starting lineups of both sides.

George looked at the Roman players on the field and shook his head.The current Roma is very strong, especially the interception power of the midfielder is unprecedentedly strong.Shouldn't Di Biagio, the bastard, have moved to Inter Milan this season?Why didn't you go.

The two midfielders in Rome are very characteristic now.

Di Biagio is a midfielder with strong defense and certain offensive ability.He chooses positions very accurately, and he moves quickly and defends fiercely. As a defensive midfielder, he is definitely world-class.

In fact, Tomasi is definitely not as good as Di Biagio in terms of defensive skills and awareness.But Tomasi also has his own characteristics. He defends fiercely and most importantly runs actively.Tomasi can run non-stop from the beginning to the end of the game.

There are now two such players in Rome, one is Cafu and the other is Tomasi.

罗马队的阵型也很有意思，他们摆出来的阵型是3-5-2。不过这个只是看着好看，像是一个进攻型的阵型。其实一旦进入防守，马上就可以变成5-3-2。

Cafu and Candela can be used as full-backs when attacking, and become full-backs when defending.

Of course, the most threatening player in the current Roma team belongs to the future wolf king, the current Roman Prince Totti.Although looking at Totti's career, he has not achieved achievements that match his own strength.

But no one can deny Totti's talent.

Just as the Netherlands produces wingers and Germany produces free men, Italy also has its own characteristics.That is Italy's most famous number nine and a half, and Italy after Baggio produced two talented number nine and a half.They are Totti and Del Piero.

In the 1938 World Cup, the players of the Italian national team were held by Mussolini's muzzle against their waists. Under the death order of "champion or death", a pragmatic defensive counterattack tactic was applied to the Italian team Since then, the invention of "reinforced concrete" defense has completely established the defensive counterattack style of Italian football.This style of play actually has certain restrictions on the performance of offensive players. Without strong support under pressure from large soldiers, forwards have very few opportunities to reap.Of course, there are always accommodations, and talented talents have found their position: between the striker and the attacking midfielder, organizing the attack by themselves to create scoring opportunities, or sending a deadly pass to the arrow.

Of course, the requirements for this position cannot be low: a clear mind, outstanding organizational skills, above-level dribbling ability, ability to pass people, break points, and finally have first-class shooting skills.However, Italy has never lacked this type of player.It can be said that it is this special setting of No. 9 and a half that promotes Italian football to glory. Rossi in the 82 World Cup and Baggio in the 94 World Cup are both the best nine and a half players.

Baggio is the most classic nine and a half players in Italy.

And Totti is an alternative nine and a half players.Accustomed to standing behind two forwards, passing the ball to create opportunities for them, while as a shadow center, Totti relies on his excellent running ability to wait for the opportunity to follow up and score.Totti is currently a rare midfielder with both strength and technology in world football. His ability to command and dispatch on the field and his strong impact make all opponents daunting.

Totti's strong body is not afraid of any collision.And he doesn't stop the ball, passing the ball directly with one kick is unique in world football.

As a forward midfielder, Totti can wear a deadly threat. As a shadow striker, Totti can accurately find the second landing point.As a center forward, Totti even won the European Golden Boot.

If Totti had a better personality, less childlike temper.And joining a giant, such as Milan and Real Madrid, his achievements will definitely make everyone look up.

With the addition of Montella and Delvecchio, the strength of the Roma team ranks first even in world football.

Although the current performance of the Roma team in Serie A is not good, it is only because Capello coached Roma for the first time.Rome has not been transformed in accordance with Capello's intentions.Serie A results are not good, but Roma did not put Blackburn in their eyes.In other words, Serie A at this time is still a bit arrogant, and has not come out of the glory of the World Cup.

In fact, there are already signs of the decline of Serie A in recent years.Now both La Liga and the Premier League are starting to rise.La Liga is stronger, and the Premier League is more hidden.But in Rome's heart, the Premier League is still the original Premier League.Although Manchester United won the Champions League last season, the Serie A team's contempt for the Premier League has not changed.

Roma will definitely not play offensive football in Serie A.

But today, in the face of Blackburn, who came from afar, Roma is very aggressive.

Rome's contempt can actually be seen from the two sides.Cafu and Candela have completely become a winger.

Before the start of the game, George felt that Capello had underestimated himself.Seeing Rome's style of play now, the anger in George's heart is rising.Capello really looked down on himself, and Rome also looked down on Blackburn.

Are they so confident.They didn't care about their two flanks at all.

Roma's defender, like Arsenal, is a classic car.The three central defenders are all over 30 years old, and they can handle with ease in the slow-paced Italy.But when I meet Blackburn, who came out of the Premier League, I see how awesome you are.

Roma's offensive is still very fierce, and Totti is very active in the frontcourt.

"...Totti got the ball, he swung Deco away... Hey, the ball was broken. Totti's ball was broken!"

"Makelele, it's Makelele!"

Mortensen spoke quickly, and began to explain suddenly.

Although Totti's speed is not fast, his technique is absolutely top-notch.Otherwise, it is impossible to become the core of the Roma team and the Italian national team.After Totti took the ball, he passed Deco very easily.

George was annoyed to see Deco being passed so easily by Totti.There are great expectations for Deco George, not only that Deco can perform well in offense.George hopes that Deco will become a midfielder who can both attack and defend.

Even if the defense is not like a dedicated defensive midfielder, at least it cannot be swayed by others so easily.

But George just got a little angry, and immediately burst into laughter.Totti just swayed Deco, and the ball was broken by Makelele without taking two steps.

"Totti's ball is too big. In fact, after passing Deco, passing the ball is the best choice. Cafu and Candela have already opened up the gap, and Montella and Delvecchio in front have already had a lot. Good position. Totti is greedy for credit."

The Italian commentator said very regretfully.

After Makelele took the ball, without hesitation, he handed the ball directly to Deco in front.Tomasi immediately went up to the grab. Tomasi is a player with abnormal physical strength.The biggest characteristic of this person is that he can run.

Although there was interference from Tomasi, Deco didn't panic at all.In the Premier League, the defense of those tough guys in the Premier League is sometimes not a defense at all.They used their bodies to hit each other completely, and their kicks were also ruthless.After staying in the Premier League for a season, Deco is not afraid of Tomasi's level of collision and defense at all.

Deco leaned on Tomasi, flicked his right foot, and the ball was passed to the right.

After recovering from the injury for more than a month, Duff came back in better condition than before.

"... Duff, he's got the ball. There's an open field in front of him, no one guarding Duff."

"Mangoni, he goes up to defend. Duff goes outside and Mangoni stays in place to prevent Duff from getting into the box."

Mangoni's offensive ability is almost zero, but his defense is absolutely impeccable.Knowing that he was at a disadvantage in speed, Mangoni did not follow Duff, but firmly held his position.Therefore, Duff can only go outside all the time.

"...Duff, cross!"

Duff went all the way to the bottom line, and suddenly made a cross.This time the cross was not passed to the penalty area, but to the vicinity of the big penalty area.

"Micoud, Micoud got the ball."

It was not easy to catch the pass, but when Miku stopped with his left foot, the ball stopped near his right foot.Such a precise stop and such a solid foundation amazed everyone.Because Klose and Pires were all pressed into the penalty area, the Roman defenders were defending them.

Di Biagio, who is defending Micoud, has quickly established his position.

Miku had already swung his right foot when Di Biagio came over.Di Biagio, who had just returned to the defensive line, stretched out his left foot to prevent Micoud from shooting.However, Micoud just feinted and hooked the ball into the center of his left foot with his right foot, leaving Di Biagio with a large gap.

Seeing Micoud's action, Di Biagio could only use a sliding tackle to prevent Micoud from shooting.

It's a pity that Miku's move was still a feint, as the ball hit the center of his right foot with his left foot.At this moment, Di Biagio completely lost his defensive position, and Micoud calmly raised his right foot and shot.The ball whizzed away like a cannonball.

"... Micoud, shoot! Antonio, great save. No, the attack is not over. Pires!"
