Mister Legend

Chapter 158 Dress up as a pig and eat a tiger?

After nearly half an hour of "boring water experience", the unbearable reporters from dozens of media chose collective silence for the first time in months when the host asked "what else is the question", finally It was the Turin coach who sent away who didn't know what to do.During the short break while waiting for the head coach of the visiting team to enter the field, several Italian local journalists who are relatively senior and familiar with each other communicated with each other below. Several people complained that they had just been scolded by the editor-in-chief.It was a good job to be sent to interview Li Mudi before. This person not only has little experience in dealing with reporters, but also tends to get hot-headed. When he is excited, he likes to fire his mouth regardless. It is simply better than Mourinho who coached Inter Milan Also popular with everyone.But today I don't know which tendon is wrong, and the mouth is full of lies and empty words without any nutrition. It's no wonder that readers don't scold their mothers when such things are sent out.The only thing that seems to have some value is that when answering Wang Qinbo, a reporter from China's "Sports Weekly" in Italy, about the tactics the home team will adopt, the Turin coach replied with a very cautious attitude: "The Roma team is the attacking team of the entire Italian football team. The most powerful team, I just hope that the players can concede as few goals as possible in the game, which is considered a victory."

The reporter of Corriere della Sera, Italy's most widely circulated newspaper, has always been neutral towards the head coach of China. He guessed whether Li Moody has no confidence in Roma as a strong enemy, and the two defensive midfielders can't. So I want to paralyze my opponent with this unusually low-key or even humble attitude! The reporter of the "Courier" immediately retorted: "Spalletti is not a fool. Even an ordinary person would not be easily fooled by such an obvious trap, let alone the coach who has coached the team since 1994! Seeing that Li Mudi was terrified by the previous incident, he actually came up with such a trick that can be seen as a problem. I guess it’s okay if he didn’t say that. The remarks just now just reminded the Roma team. I will definitely not commit negligence, I am really shooting myself in the foot!"

Before the end of the press conference, the home team rushed to submit the starting list at the last moment, and this list of eleven players immediately aroused heated discussions among professionals and fans.

In the commentary room of the CCTV Sports Channel, Director Zhang Lu and Director Gong Lei took advantage of the few minutes before the start of the game to analyze the possible tactics of the Turin team.The commentator Liu Jiayuan first announced the starting 11 players of the Turin team in this game: In the 4-3-3 formation, the goalkeeper is still Joe Hart, and the four defenders are from right to left. Li, Castan, Rossettini and Barreca, the three midfielders are Spanish teenagers Fabas, Baselli and Benassi, the frontcourt trio: right winger Bruno Perez, left winger Jese, center forward Bellotti.Then director Zhang put forward his own opinion on this very strange configuration: "Director Li (Li Mudi has also been promoted to director, Sahua!) is very thoughtful and very bold. Neither of the team's two defensive gates can play. Under such circumstances, he dared to use such a lineup that ordinary people can't predict. He is really brave!" Director Gong suddenly interjected here: "Well, it can be seen from this that he was in the press conference held just now. Not a single word of the truth!" As soon as these words came out, countless viewers who were watching the live broadcast were amused, and even the commentator of CCTV almost couldn't hold back, and coughed softly twice.

"Hey..." After responding to Gong Lei's complaints with a characteristic laugh, Director Zhang continued to analyze: "When facing a strong enemy like Rome, Director Li decisively abandoned the previous conventional configuration, but was very bold. He chose to use surprise soldiers. Putting Bruno Perez on the right winger position should be to use his characteristics of both offense and defense to help the team consolidate the defense on the right side; For the first time on behalf of the Turin team, he only played more than ten minutes in the 6-1 victory over Bologna when the overall situation was set. Director Li originally planned to let him play as a substitute in the last game, but Due to Vives' accidental sending off, he didn't get a chance to play."

"This player is a direct descendant brought by Director Li from Castile. According to the data, his offensive and defensive ability is very average, and he is good at long-range shooting. However, his height of only 1.7 meters and weight of 66 kg seriously restrict his confrontation. ability, I don’t know how this scene will play against tall and strong opponents.” Director Gong, who explained La Liga before, briefly introduced the situation of Fabas.

At this time, Liu Jiayuan introduced the Roma team's starting roster. Spalletti's lineup was also larger than the outside world's previous expectations. The most outstanding one of them seems to be completely disregarding that there will be a very important European war four days later, and wants to do his best today. 4-2-3-1 lineup, the goalkeeper is the Polish national goalkeeper Szczesny (Wojciech Szczesny, also translated from Arsenal) on loan from Arsenal, the four-back Italian international Florenzi, from Tottenham Argentine central defender Federico Fazio on loan from Tottenham, Greek international Kostantinos Manolas and Portuguese left back Mário Rui Duarte on loan from Empoli, double midfielder De Rossi And Dutch international Kevin Strootman, left winger Argentine Perotti (Diego Perotti), right winger Egyptian international Salah (Mohamed Salah), midfielder Belgian international Radja Nainggolan (Radja Nainggolan), the center is Bosnia and Herzegovina's super striker Dzeko.This lineup can be regarded as the top level of strength in the entire Serie A league, and it can compete with the old lady. No wonder after seeing this list, everyone thinks that the Red Bulls at home are in danger.

Facing this lineup that has scored 13 goals in the first five rounds of the league and is the most powerful offensive lineup in Serie A, the two commentators can only relieve Li Mudi after praising him. Fans of the Celestial Dynasty have laid a defensive needle in advance, so that they can remain rational in the face of a possible fiasco, and don't blame their compatriots.

On the Italian side, with the whistle of the referee, the key match related to the top three situations of the match was officially started.The visiting team who kicked off first did not have the slightest intention to test it. After Dzeko knocked the ball to De Rossi behind him, all four offensive players in the frontcourt rushed across the midfield line. Time to launch an offensive.On the other hand, in Turin, because the weak opponent is strong, everyone's attention is also very concentrated, and they entered the state at the beginning of the game.In this game, Benassi, who wore the captain's armband, used a very clean, but seemingly imposing tackle to knock Strowman, who has a glass body, to the ground, but because he touched the ball first , so there was no foul, Roma just got a throw-in kick.However, this severance showed the home team's determination to go all out and the attitude of fighting for every goal, which made Spalletti feel an inexplicable chill on the sidelines.

However, the Roma players who re-sent the ball don't care about the opponent's state, because in their eyes, except for the two strong enemies Juventus and Naples, there are only a few teams that can compete against themselves at home. There are some threats, but this definitely does not include the Torino team.So they continued to use their strong overall strength to score goals as soon as possible, and to determine the three points early, so as to save strength for the Europa League in the middle of the week.

In the second minute, Salah used his personal ability to pass the teenager Barreca and sent a very fast cross.The center of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who followed up and grabbed points in the middle, gained an advantage in the contest with his old teammate Kastan last season. After taking off, he beat the Brazilian to occupy the commanding heights.It's a pity that the speed of the ball in this biography was too fast. Everyone failed to catch up with the best touch point. The ball slid past Dzeko's head and flew to the other side, which surprised the home team fans. cold sweat.

In the 3rd minute, Perotti sent the ball into the penalty area. Dzeko returned the ball to the front of the penalty area under the defense of the two defenders of the home team. De Rossi who inserted it directly kicked a long shot. Although the angle was tricky enough, But the ball is still slightly higher than the crossbar. After 1 minute, it was replaced by Nainggolan who got a chance to attack the goal in front of the penalty area. His right foot volley went straight to the dead corner again, and even Joe Hart tried his best to side throw. Didn't touch it, but the ball still didn't want to get into the home team's goal easily, but missed the right post.In just 3 minutes of the start of the game, Roma created several good opportunities that could threaten the home team's gate, which made the commentators of Italy and Japan have to admire their strong offensive strength.

Of course, coming and going is not indecent, how can Red Bull be willing to be beaten passively all the time?In the 6th minute, the home team also completed the first goal of the game. After receiving a cross from teammate Jesse from the left, Berotti leaned on Fazio in the center of the penalty area and sent a push with his left foot. Shot, but unfortunately the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.However, this offensive of the Turin team failed to attract the attention of the Romans. The latter still invested more troops in the offensive, because they believed that, in terms of scoring ability, the Red Wolves are definitely the first in Serie A.

It's a pity that the villains who are slapped in the face in the end are often those villains who are blindly confident or over-pretentious.

In the 8th minute, the young Spanish midfielder Fabas intercepted Salah's pass to Strowman in the midfield circle, and then he took two steps forward and handed the ball to the left side. Compatriot Hesse.Under Florenzi's marking, the King of Heqiu dribbled the ball all the way to the sideline of the penalty area, and then used a series of cycling actions to attract De Rossi's attention and then pushed the ball back into the corner of the penalty area.Benassi, who rushed to the horse, stopped the ball and passed the high-altitude ball straight to the back point. Belotti, who had been ambushing on the right, rushed into the small penalty area in two steps, and rushed to Rui who came to defend. Before the action, he jumped high and headed the ball to the top. The ball bounced in front of the goal and then went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.The goalkeeper of the visiting team, Szczesny, failed to judge the trajectory of the quasi-ball. He only threw the ball behind the goal line, but it was difficult to stop it from entering the net. 1-0, the Turin team took the lead in an extremely passive situation!

After the goal, the entire Olympic Stadium was boiling. Many fans stood up from their seats and rushed towards the protective net between the stands and the field, wanting to celebrate with the players on the field.Fortunately, before the game, the Turin City Police Department sent more than 100 riot police to help maintain the law and order of the stadium, and drove those overly excited guys back, otherwise we don't know what big incidents will happen.

At this time, in the commentary room of the China CCTV Sports Channel, the two directors Zhang and Gong kept singing praises for the Turin coach, thinking that the tactical thinking of the Chinese compatriots is very concise and effective, which is to use the opponent's mistakes to fight back .But at the same time, it also repeatedly emphasized the super strength of the Roma team. One goal lead does not mean anything. The game has just begun. The Red Wolves have enough time to equalize or even overtake. The crisis of the Turin team has not been resolved.

The opponent is very strong, this fact can be seen by ordinary people at a glance, how could Li Modi not be clear about it.So he just waved his arms and shouted at the moment of the goal, and then immediately ran to the sidelines to call the right back Silvestri, who stayed in the backcourt and did not participate in the celebration, to the front of him. Explain the opponent's next tactical arrangement.After the re-kick-off, instead of becoming cautious because of the accidental conceded just now, the Roma team launched an attack even more frantically.Correspondingly, the home team retreated to the half court. Even the center Belotti and the poor defensive Jesse put all their efforts into intercepting the ball. It seemed that they wanted to defend the lead with all their strength. Advantage.

However, in response to this arrangement, the guest commentator and former international footballer Angelo Di Livio of Italian National Television thought it was too conservative. He analyzed the situation on the court and said: "Coach Li Mudi played in the opening game. The tactics arranged at the time can be regarded as geniuses. Although the idea of ​​attacking and attacking is crazy, it has indeed received miraculous effects. However, after taking the lead, he immediately entered a defensive state. This is a dead end. The midfielder of the Turin team None of the players is mainly in charge of defense. Judging from their defensive ability, it is very difficult to resist the attack of the Roma team. Therefore, if you want to hold a slight chance of defeating the strong with the weak, you have to attack and use your own strengths to cover up weaknesses."

Di Livio was born in Rome and was born in Rome's youth training, but he was sold to a small team in the C League without representing the Red Wolves in an official game, because he hated him because of love, From then on, he became "Rome Black", and later attacked his mother team when he played for the old woman and Viola.When he was invited to explain the game, he also kept making suggestions for them from the standpoint of the home team.But most of the people, including him, never imagined that Li Mudi made up his mind to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger after leading by one goal.
