Chapter 285 Capello's Go for It

No one expected that Capello's substitution in the second half would have an immediate effect. Less than 10 minutes after Montella's last goal, he seized the opportunity again to help Roma break through the Leeds United goal. There was hope throughout the game.

"Goal!!! Vincenzo Montella, a wonderful supplementary shot, he lurked in the penalty area of ​​Leeds United like a cheetah and shot this wonderful supplementary shot! This is a magical substitution!"

"Roma team, Roma team pulled back a goal in the No.703 minute of the game, which is really wonderful!"

"Montella's playing quickly opened up the situation for the Roma team. Compared with Batistuta, who is experienced and famous for a long time, Montella is under pressure to help the Roma team retain the suspense! Captain Totti suppressed Montella happily Under the body! This goal will be a qualitative improvement for the morale of the Roma team! Their previous pressure has been fully released at this moment!"

"What we can expect is that in the next time, the Romans are bound to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. This will be a great test for Leeds United! Will he be able to maintain his good form after the goal is scored?"

Regardless of the speculation and surprise of the commentators in the stands at the moment, it is undeniable that Montella's appearance in this game is simply a typical example of rewriting the situation with substitutions.

Vincenzo Montella started his football career in 1990 at the then Italian football third division team Empoli, and then moved to the second division team Genoa in 1996. Proud of his high goal scoring rate, Sampdoria used unconventional means to snatch him from their city rivals Genoa because of his genius.

Before his return to Sampdoria, Montella played 90 league games for Genoa and Empoli in the mid-64s, scoring 38 goals, which is amazingly efficient.And when he moved to Sampdoria to start his Serie A journey, the goal storm continued. Montella spent three fine seasons at Sampdoria, scoring 73 goals in 54 games.He was then recruited by giants Roma and his high efficiency carried over to Roma, scoring four goals in the derby against city rivals Lazio and twice against Bari and Fiorentina at the Stadio Olimpico Performed a hat trick.

Montella's power in the penalty area makes every opponent terrified. He can shoot from any angle in the penalty area. He is a prolific shooter in Italian football and is nicknamed the glider. In the 2000 European Championship, he won the runner-up with the Italian team. The "glider"-like celebration is still fresh in the memory of all fans. Montella is an excellent shooter with a high scoring rate in the Italian arena. He has twice ranked second in the Serie A scorer list.

At this moment, it is precisely because of his playing that Leeds United have added a lot of variables to this game that Leeds United thought was a surefire game.Montella's strong kicking ability is more obvious than that of Batistuta who has just been replaced. As a striker under the age of 30, his creativity is at its peak and his sense of smell is particularly sensitive. So he put great pressure on Leeds United.

Seeing such a situation, Leeds United coach O'Reilly signaled the players to press forward to suppress Roma's counterattack, while thinking about countermeasures.

But it didn't take long for O'Reilly to give up, because he has done the best he can do at the moment, whether it is in lineup or personnel, if Woodgate and Ferdinand can't defend Montella, then he In fact, there is no way.As for the tactics on the court, he can't change much. From the current point of view, Alan Smith and Bowyer's blockade of Totti is undoubtedly successful, although Bowyer has already received a yellow card, and Alan Smith has also received a yellow card. Referee's warning, but O'Reilly is not ready to untie the double-team.

At the same time, although Mateo on the wing looked a little clumsy when facing Cafu's defense, he won with a stable word, so everything in the end depends on the players on the field.

"Loris Kenny has the ball, will he break through again against Tomasi's defense? Oh, it's a perfect individual performance, he breaks through again! This is Leeds United's attack Opportunity, Kenny's breakthrough makes the Roma team, which is about to take advantage of the victory, feel a little embarrassed, because several players have already pushed up ahead of time!"

"It's not easy for Kenny to pass to Viduka. Viduka has the ball behind his back and can't turn around. This position is actually very good, but obviously Roma's defensive players think so too, so it is emotionally important They would not let Viduka turn around, but Viduka had no choice but to pass to Dakot who was on the top."

Looking at the more than 70 minutes that have passed, Duckett's performance in this game is not very good, and the expectations of coach O'Reilly are far from him, but his existence can still bring Leeds United. A big help, at least in midfield he can play a stabilizing role.At this time, after receiving a pass from Viduka, Dacourt suddenly jumped in and headed towards the edge of the penalty area of ​​Roma after throwing off Zanetti with a rare small technical dribble, which also caused the Roma players to panic. .

Samuel quickly rushed up to intercept Dacourt, and Candela was also eager to double-team, but at this moment Dacourt suddenly passed the ball through and passed the ball in an instant. Keane who has completed the running position!Candela lost his position this time!Seeing this scene, Capello was furious on the sidelines. He didn't expect that Candela, who has always been steady, would be such an idiot!If he didn't know that there must be a camera pointed at him, then he must have started cursing crazily.

Only God knows that the current situation is very important to Rome. If the morale that has just been raised at this time is suppressed by Leeds United, it will be bad.

Candela, who was one step behind on the court, could only chase back frantically. When Keane was about to reach the bottom line, a tackle broke the ball out of the bottom line, making Keane's cross come back without success.It wasn't until this moment that the Roma fans on the long side let out a long sigh. Fortunately, Candela's strength is still very strong, and Keane's momentary cross was caught just right. Otherwise, the ball was thrown into the penalty area and Viduka's presence But a lot of pressure.

No. 708 minutes, Leeds United's corner kick, Roma made a substitution.

After Alan Smith raised his hand to signal, the referee blew the whistle, and the ball flew to the back point under Alan Smith's kick, and everyone's eyes followed.

Samuel jumped high and wanted to push the ball out of the penalty area, but what was shocking was that the ball flew over his head, and Samuel fell off the top! ?At this dangerous, critical moment, he actually made such a mistake.And then there was a scene that horrified the Roma fans, Kenny's head popped out and hit the ball fiercely!

Rome goalkeeper Antonioli immediately made a save when he saw the situation was not good, but what surprised him was that the ball went wide
The ball flew far out of the goal range, and Kenny actually missed it. With no one defending and interfering, he missed the goal
Accompanied by a huge sigh from the stands, Kenny stood up resentfully, touched his forehead, turned and ran back.

"I can't control it."

This is the most obvious signal that Capello is giving it a go. Taking advantage of this corner kick, he replaced Delvecchio with Cassano.It can be said that the Italian international Delvecio was really lost in this game. The combination of Ferdinand and Woodgate made him have no chance to score at all. As a fulcrum, his presence is also extremely limited, so he played in Montella After tasting the sweetness and confirming Capello's previous thoughts, he also replaced Cassano. Now his intention is very obvious. He wants to use all-pervasive scoring opportunities to exhaust Leeds United's defense.

And this is not over yet, and then Capello replaced Samuel who was emotional after defending Kenny was broken with Aldair. Capello knew that Samuel's strength was indeed very good. After Kenny broke through several times in a row and scored goals in this game, Samuel's mentality collapsed a bit.A player who has lost his mind on the court is the most terrifying, let alone a central defender, this is simply a powder keg.

So even knowing that defending Kenny with Samuel's age and body is still the best choice, Capello didn't dare to take the risk.

Aldair was born in southeastern Brazil and like most Brazilian players at that time, playing football was their only means of getting out of the status quo. In 1989, Aldair went to Europa to join the Portuguese powerhouse Benfica, but because he just came to Europe, Aldair did not play well here. In 1990, at the suggestion of the then Roma coach Eriksson, Roma chairman Dino Viola brought Aldair to Italy, thus opening a new chapter in his life. He stayed here for 11 years!
As soon as he came to Rome, he won the 1991 Coppa Italia with the team, and this was the only honor Rome won in the 20s.Aldair grew up quickly in Rome and became the most powerful central defender in the world. He also occupied the position of Brazil's main central defender for a long time in the 90s. In 90, Aldair won the World Cup as the main force, and won the World Cup runner-up four years later.

Therefore, Aldair is an absolute veteran player in the Roma team, and he will play a role in stabilizing the defense.
