Chapter 149 Out of control game
At 9:11 local time on September 15th, the third round of the 2016-17 Serie A season between Atlanta and Turin started on time. The live broadcast was performed by local TV stations, China Sports Channel and Xiaoshi Sports Network.Since it was the prime time at 21 o'clock on Sunday night, China attracted a large number of fans to watch the game. According to statistics afterwards, the number of Chinese viewers who watched the game was as high as 8000 million, which shocked the whole of Europe.You know, this is not a global live broadcast or even a national live broadcast. Only relying on the two broadcasting agencies of the Celestial Dynasty to almost complete hundreds of millions of viewers, this is really too exaggerated!The second round of the Milan Derby last season was broadcast by more than 200 TV stations around the world, but the total number of viewers was only a little over 3000 million. Such a comparison highlights the infinite potential of Chinese fans.So this week, the major sports media in Europe focused on how to develop the Far East market, instead of paying so much attention to the game itself.

The home team, which has already lost two consecutive games, naturally attaches great importance to this game. Even Gasperini, who always likes to play three defenders, took a rare occasion to be cautious and put on a 4-3-3 formation. Almost all the main players are on the stage, but the long-established striker Paloski was put on the bench, which surprised the coaching staff of the visiting team.However, the frontcourt combination led by Argentine winger Alejandro Darío Gómez is still powerful and difficult for opponents to guard against.

Li Mudi also arranged a 4-3-3 formation based on the player's state and the technical and tactical characteristics of the two sides. Goalkeeper: Joe Hart, right back Bruno Perez, center backs Castan and Rossettini, left Defender Avilal, midfielder Akuwa, central midfielder Benassi and Baselli, right winger Jese, left winger Iago Falk, center Belotti.Except for the combination of central defenders and the main candidates of the two wingers, which have yet to be investigated, the rest are all the strongest players in each position.The England goalkeeper represented the new club in an official game for the first time in this game. He also became the first British goalkeeper to play in Serie A since 1929 years after the establishment of Serie A in 87.

After the kick-off, both teams wanted to control the ball so that they could better mobilize the opponent's defense.However, because the home team's Ivory Coast international, strong midfielder Franck Kessié and the visiting team's Akuwa are excellent in steals and defensive areas, it is difficult for players on both sides to hold the ball for a long time. The rhythm of the game Gradually it accelerated.Atlanta put the main offensive focus on Alejandro Gomez. The Argentine, who is only 165 cm tall, looks like Maradona who has lost N circles at first glance. He is as tall as 19 Dribbling ability makes him so comfortable in Turin's defensive formation, coupled with 17 willpower, imagination, flexibility and explosive power; 16 technique and ball receiving 16, and 15 off the ball running and speed , is definitely a big killer in world football at the left winger position.Li Mudi hadn't been able to figure it out before, how could such an excellent player with many and outstanding advantages not be favored by wealthy families?If the 28-year-old Argentine winger can no longer join a strong team, then his career will be a pity. He can only grow old with a report card without any honor until he is completely forgotten by the world.

As for Turin, Jesse and Farke are also good at dribbling, but it is still difficult to do it like the Argentine winger needs to be double-teamed to be restrained. If it is in a positional battle, they really have no backup. The lethality is strong.Bruno Perez and Avilar's two wide crosses are also due to the home team's goalkeeper Marco Sportiello's excellent ability to intercept crosses (FM system shows 17). Return without success.After several main offensive tactics of the visiting team were effectively contained, Atlanta began to form many successful cooperations on the offensive end and completed the goal.

No. In the 16th minute, Gomez made a one-on-two on the left, used continuous fake moves to shake the center of gravity of Perez and Akuva, and then sent a cross with one foot on the ground.The Chilean international and center forward Mauricio Ricardo Pinilla, who outflanked the center, rushed ahead of Rossettini and shoveled from ten meters in front of the goal. Five minutes later, he received a high cross from right-winger Marco D'Alessandro and leaned on Kastan for a volley barb, which was beautiful but equally distant. far from the target.

Seeing that there were many problems in the defense of the two sides of his side, Li Mudi hurried to the sidelines and instructed the two central midfielders to pay attention to protecting the two ribs and try to prevent the opponent's cross.Neither Castan nor Rossettini are central defenders with good headers, while the opposing center Pinila is 187 centimeters tall, with a shooting, heading, and jumping ability of 15. He is very good at working at heights. Bian had to be on guard.

But who knew that the seasoned Gasperini saw through the visiting team's defensive deployment in an instant, and then the Atlanta players made multiple long-range shots in the middle many times. No.204 minutes, after Gomez attracted the attention of many players on the wing, he pushed the ball into the air four meters before the top of the arc in the penalty area. The Ivorian midfielder Casey suddenly inserted, and Mou was full of energy With a strong kick, the football rushed towards the right post of the visiting team at an extremely fast speed, which shocked Li Mudi into a cold sweat.At the same time, Mr. Zhan Jun's famous saying "If there is love, the sky will grow old, see Hartmon's kick!" suddenly popped out in the mind of the Turin coach.

Although the England goalkeeper also made a timely save, the fingertips still failed to touch the ball. Fortunately, this shot also failed to hit the goal frame. It rubbed the outside of the post on this side and hit the advertisement behind the goal. The card caused more than 1 fans of the home team to sigh loudly.The coach and players of the visiting team who escaped the catastrophe thanked the goddess of luck in their hearts. On the coaching bench, the defensive coach Baldi even kept chanting "God bless" and made a gesture of crossing his chest. action.

Two minutes later, Gomez also used an inside cut to complete a strong attack outside the penalty area in a counterattack. This time, he was blocked by Joe Hart because the angle was too positive, and Turin's goal was pulled again. The defense alarm sounded.Li Mudi once again issued new tactical requirements to the players. The interception in the midfield should be more aggressive, and the opponent's defense will start to hinder their offensive organization.In this way, it reduces the chances of the small Argentine winger to get the ball and increases the difficulty for the home team to pass the ball, but this is at the cost of excessive energy consumption and fouls.Although before the end of the midfield, Torino never allowed the opponent to complete a shot that hit the target, and had a slight advantage in the ball possession rate, but the physical condition of the players was generally worse than that of the opponent, and the number of fouls was also higher. 2 against 12, Kastan and Akuwa both received yellow cards.

In the locker room, Li Moody made adjustments to the team's tactics. Torino, whose physical condition was at a disadvantage, found it difficult to make continuous high-post interceptions in the last 45 minutes. He wanted to restrain the opponent's personal dribbling and long distance If you want to shoot, you must use crowd tactics.First, the positions of the three midfielders were moved back five meters to get closer to the back line. Several small groups were formed according to different areas to encircle and siege the home team players who entered their respective areas.The three offensive players in the frontcourt had a big change in their positions. Belotti, who was originally protruding forward, stood behind the two wingers and acted as The role of the tactical center, after holding the ball, hit the opponent's back, allowing Jesse and Falk to take advantage of their speed to fight Atlanta's counterattack.Yes, Li Moody decided to focus on defense and counterattack in the second half. The two-game losing streak of the home team is definitely not reconciled to not getting points at home. Even a draw is very difficult for Gasperini to accept. After all In the previous warm-up match, they beat the Red Bulls with three goals in this field. The fans will definitely not agree that they only scored one point in the official league.

Jiashuai left Genoa and switched to Poseidon. He is just a rookie here. The trust of fans and club executives in him needs to be re-cultivated. He will never give up this good opportunity to win for the first time, otherwise he will be a guest at Cagliari in the next round. It is an easy game, if this home game is not won, it is likely to repeat the same mistakes in Inter Milan.Therefore, Li Mudi decided that the home team must attack, so the Torino team, which has a speed advantage on the front line, will have a chance. Certainly, he is absolutely confident in the second half of the game.

After the re-kick-off, the home team’s offensive was indeed more determined than in the first half. The Slovenian international Jasmin Kurtic, who used to play as a central midfielder, almost became an attacking midfielder. He tried to use his good dribbling ability many times. Create some threats in the hinterland of the middle lane.However, Turin's defense is very good. They have focused on the home team's few players who prefer to dribble individually, and they can always rule out dangers in advance before the opponent finds a good opportunity.The individual assault effects of Gomez and others gradually lost their previous power, which caused the home team players to be a little too impatient in their mentality. The ability is very good, but he still suffers from the desperate entanglement of the two central defenders and the unsatisfactory pass placement. He can only watch the visiting team players resolve every attack.

Gasperini saw that the high-altitude bombing had no effect at all, so he decisively replaced the Chilean center with Paloski just 6 minutes after the opening of the second half. Atlanta's frontcourt strategy announced that it had fully shifted to the ground attack up.Paloski became famous very early. In the 2006-07 season, when he was just 17 years old, he scored the first Serie A goal when he represented AC Milan in the league for the first time, and immediately became famous throughout the European continent.It's a pity that as another example of Shang Zhongyong, he has not been able to show his youthful aura in the following careers, and the repeated injuries eventually exhausted all his talents.Although he has just turned 26 this year, he has only scored 13 goals in Serie A for nine years, which is really ugly.Paloski's parameters in the FM system are indeed not strong. His shooting ability is only 12, his technique is 10, and his dribbling is only 18. However, his off-ball running is as high as [-], which is extremely difficult for a tall and clumsy central defender. The object of marking.

The players of the home team, who changed the offensive method into short-pass penetration, began to increase their running significantly, trying to use their delicate skills and flexibility advantages to tear a hole in Turin's defense.However, Li Moody is naturally not a vegetarian. Four minutes after the opponent's substitution, he also made personnel adjustments. Vallejo came off the bench to replace Castan, who had a yellow card. Fang's man-to-man defense against Paloski within 4 meters of the front of the penalty area directly extinguished this offensive arrow, making Jiashuai's last move a dead end.

After Atlanta lost the fulcrum in the penalty area, they could only make more fuss about long-range shots. Gomez and Dalesandro tried two long-range shots in succession, both of which were much worse.Just when Gasperini kept yelling on the sidelines for the players to calm down and pass the ball more patiently, Torino completed a deadly counterattack.Kurtic tried to pass Baselli one-on-one in the middle, but Benassi, who was defended because he was too sticky to the ball, touched the ball to the former with a sliding tackle.After waving the ball to the front right, Baselli directly kicked a long pass to find Belotti in the frontcourt. Red Beibei accurately judged the landing and carried the home team's central defender and Bosnia and Herzegovina international Sukanovic (Ervin Zukanovic) rubbed back with the top of his head, and Jesse accelerated across the entire defense line of the opponent in an instant, and caught up with the football at the corner on the right side of the penalty area.He then made a false move to deceive the French left-back Konco who was grabbing, and passed the ball to the center. Falke jumped in at a high speed and took a kick before the Brazilian Toroy, blocking the ball into Spoti. In the goal guarded by Yalo. 0 to 1, 4 minutes, the Turin team in the away game took the lead in scoring.

This goal made Li Mudi jump up excitedly. They mainly defended and counterattacked, and their opponents were helpless on the defensive end. Once they took the lead in the score, they basically locked in the victory of the whole game.It is difficult for him to figure out how Atlanta can equalize the score under the existing offensive tactics. They can only increase the number of troops invested in the offense, but in this way, they will be even less able to parry Turin's quick counterattack. Before tying the score, the visiting team scored the second goal first, which completely killed the suspense of the game.Looking at Gasperini, who was also standing on the sidelines not far away, with a somewhat helpless expression, Xiao Li’s eyes were full of sympathy. It seemed that the other party’s crisis of getting out of class would come again. I hope he can communicate this time. good luck.

But who knows, after 2 minutes, the situation of this game will change suddenly...
