Chapter 227 Suffocating Competition

Jesse's goal made the commentators and guests of Tianchao admire loudly. Teacher Zhang Lu emphasized that there is still time, and scoring another goal within 10 minutes of stoppage time is not enough for the powerful Turin team. Not impossible.

Naturally, Li Mudi also knew that although the time left for him and the players was not much, it was still enough to score another goal, so he ordered the two full-backs on the field to press forward boldly. Keep two central defenders and Lars Diarra for three.Seeing this, Spalletti asked the Roma players to stabilize the defense first, and then wait for an opportunity to fight back. In the last minute of the game, he replaced the high center Dzeko with the fast horse Perotti. What a vicious intention! (Joke)

However, after withstood the visiting team's frenzied attacks, the veteran Red Wolf still caught the opponent's eagerness to score and completed a lore. No.901 minutes, Perotti shifted continuously on the left side and passed the defender, then rushed to the bottom line and made a cross. Bareca leaned on Totti at the back point and wanted to stretch his foot outside to stop the ball , and then attack.However, he made a mistake under the interference of Salah who rushed over suddenly, and failed to stop the ball. The football hit the Egyptian's leg and bounced back to the wolf king.After the Roma captain turned his back to the goal and leaned against Rossettini who was marking him, he returned the ball to the penalty area line, and Nainggolan, who inserted it, swung his right foot and made a powerful volley.The ball shot towards the visitors' goal like a cannonball, scraped the near post and hit the net, Joe Hart's save was again just to catch the air. 3 to 1, the game completely lost the suspense, even if the gods descended to earth, they could not save the Red Bulls from losing in the away game.

After the score was rewritten, Turin did lose its desperate momentum immediately. The 3 minutes of stoppage time passed quickly when both sides had no intention of fighting. In the end, Rome successfully reported the 3th round. The revenge of losing to the opponent.The two sides played against each other and won 1-[-] at their respective home courts. In terms of the results alone, they were evenly matched, and no one could take advantage of it.

The technical statistics of the whole game show that the Torino team is not far behind in terms of conventional pass success rate and other aspects, and the ball possession rate is 21 percentage points higher, but the offensive efficiency of the two sides is almost doubled.The home team completed a total of 8 shots, 12 of which were on target, while the visiting team was 4 of [-] in this data, and was crushed a bit miserably.

Today's post-match press conference is naturally a difficulty for the Turin coach. Due to the hostile relationship with the Lazio club, the Italian capital media headed by "Corriere dello Sport" will always take a suppressive attitude towards him.Although the Red Wolves and the Blue Eagles are rivals in the same city, there is no saying in the media that an enemy's enemy is a friend. Don't look at the capital teams they usually support for each other. But they were able to share the same hatred and jump into the same trench.Therefore, after losing this important game, Li Mudi had to face the doubts of all the reporters before he could resolve the helplessness in his heart. No one could have such a miserable life!
Although the journalists raised by these prostitutes have been using very vicious words to stimulate the nerves of the coach of Turin, Li Mudi, who knows that he can't act rashly on his territory, has already prepared the psychological construction of "it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years" , abruptly with a fairly peaceful attitude to survive this difficult time that only lasted for a little over 10 minutes, but it felt like more than an hour had passed.

Fortunately, Spalletti, Totti and other big names in Rome all affirmed the performance of the Red Bulls in interviews, especially the captain of Rome, who put Li Moody in the ranks of young coaches in European football today. No.1 In terms of position, the world can see the heart of safeguarding the latter.Afterwards, some media interpreted those remarks in a big way: Totti hoped that the coach would leave quickly, and it would be more in line with his expectations for the Chinese to take over the capital team. This is putting pressure on the top management of the Roma club. , It is also a powerful counterattack to Spalletti's previous remarks about contract renewal.

The Turin coach who was inexplicably involved in the internal struggle of the Red Wolves, was stunned when he heard the news, and secretly sighed in his heart whether he had some unfavorable trends in his life, how could he find any kind of broken things Head up?He originally wanted to make a statement, saying that he has no intention of joining the Roma team now, and he doesn't think Totti's words contain this meaning.However, it was stopped by Guines. The contract renewal negotiations with the Turin club were progressing very slowly. The Spanish agent predators needed to find some breakthroughs from the outside world to force the opponent to submit.Moreover, no matter what is said at this time, those who want to make troubles will not believe it. It is better not to say a word and wait for the situation to calm down naturally, otherwise the rumors will become more and more hyped, and it will be of no benefit to anyone.

After seeing that his agent had other plans, Li Modi completely put this troublesome matter behind him. After all, the devil's schedule has just started, and the upcoming games are equally important and difficult. Now the team must pay close attention to every training session time for targeted deployment.After the Turin team lost to Rome, the competition for the Europa League places in the standings has reached a suffocating level. With the situation of the top three teams still very stable, the teams behind them will fight for Being able to get fourth and fifth in the league (if Lazio fails to win the Coppa Italia this season, No.6 is also in the competition) has begun a fierce hand-to-hand battle.

After 25 rounds of the league, several teams that are at least seven points behind Naples, which is temporarily in third place, formed a huge second group. Among them, four teams had a total of 47 points. never appeared in Serie A.Due to the regulations of the Italian Football Association, teams with the same points first look at the relationship between each other to rank, and then compare the goal difference and the number of goals scored.In the matches that have already been played, Torino has played against Inter Milan and Lazio 2-2, and it has played 2-1 against Atalanta twice, so the relationship between victory and defeat is the same, and the Red Bull relies on 18 A slight advantage in goal difference ranked fourth in the league.

The remaining three teams have formed a winning streak with each other, so the next seats are arranged directly through the goal difference. The result is the Nerazzurri (16 goal difference), the Blue Eagles (15 goal difference) and Poseidon Son (13 goal difference), the gap between the four competitors is extremely small, and a change in ranking may occur after a week.

As for AC Milan with 43 points and Fiorentina with 40 points, it doesn't mean that there is no chance. After all, there are still 39 rounds left in the league with a total of [-] points to fight for. The probability of their counterattack in the final stage is not small. The key still depends on their respective status and opponent's performance.

And just watching next weekend's matchup, the Torino team is still not very good, they will play last, away to the Viola on Monday night, BJ time.The opponent is not weak and has the home court advantage. No one can guarantee that the Red Bulls will be able to retreat from the Frankie Stadium. Once they suffer two consecutive losses, not only will they be overtaken by the teams around them, but it will also make Fiorentina narrow the two sides gap between.And their main competitor Lazio is playing at home against the underdog Udinese. The probability of taking all three points should be more than [-]%. In the eyes of many people, the Blue Eagles will occupy the first place in the standings after the next round four position.

Another team that can play at home is Inter Milan, but their opponent is the powerful Roma. Judging from the odds given by the gaming company, the outside world generally believes that the strengths of the two sides are still relatively close, and the possibility of a draw is relatively small. maximum.The rest of Atlanta and the Rossoneri are playing away games. Their opponents are Naples and No.10 Sassuolo. AC Milan, which lost 1, is not optimistic about winning.In general, the situation of the Turin team can be regarded as a moderate level, not the best, nor the worst.

However, the results of the two days of Saturday and Sunday made Li Moody yell incomprehensible.Although all the main players played and welcomed back Milik, who had been seriously injured for several months, Naples played an extremely bad game at their home court. They had 20 shots and a ball possession rate of 66%. Under the advantage, Gasperini's team succeeded in a sneak attack in the second half and finally suffered the second home defeat of the season 0-2, giving the Turin coach who had expected the Atlanta Conference to lose the chain. Remember Sap.

After Lazio and AC Milan defeated their opponents 1-0 on Sunday night, the Red Bulls are already facing an imminent crisis. If they fail to beat Fiorentina, they will drop two positions in a row. It will miss the qualification for the European war.Fortunately, there was a good news before the whistle of the game. Inter Milan was beaten head-on by Roma 1-3 at home, taking the lead in pulling down half a position in the competition.

In order not to be in a passive situation in the following games, Li Mudi conveyed the instructions to the players to do their best to win the game many times before the game, hoping that they can burst out with all their energy under pressure.Considering that in the past four and a half seasons, neither side has a history of winning at the other's home court, the boys in Turin really need some extra motivation to take all three points at the Frankie Stadium.

Unlike in the seventh round last year, Paulo Sosa made adjustments to his formation, changing from an aggressive 3-4-2-1 to a control-focused 4-2-3-1, exactly the same as last weekend's Spalletti made the opposite decision.After Viola came to Saponara on loan, he also liberated Valero, who was too high and not good at breaking through, so that the Spaniard can return to the familiar central midfielder position to connect the whole team. .And letting Colombian midfielder Carlos Sanchez temporarily play as a left back, it seems that Mourinho used Essien to play right back, and let him freeze Farr, who had a sluggish performance in the last game but played well before. grams, reducing the team's defensive pressure.However, the absence of Slovenian internationals Ilicic and Zi Beibei due to injuries before the start of the game also greatly weakened Viola's offensive ability. The home team can only let Tello and Federico Chiesa, who are on loan from Barcelona Jessa's son) started the game, standing in the position of the two wingers.

The visiting team is the regular routine 4-3-3, Joe Hart, Zampacosta, Ranocchia, Rossettini and Barreca, Baselli, Las Diarra, Benassi, Falk, Bei Lottie and Jesse, except that Akuwa was rested, the rest of the positions are exactly the same as the last league game.

At the very beginning of the game, the rhythm of the two sides was astonishingly fast. The ball was exchanged eight times in just 3 minutes. Tello and Kalinic also completed an attack respectively, but unfortunately they failed to hit the target.However, the home team gradually took the initiative on the field. Valero's frequent combing made Viola's ball control power play to the greatest extent, and the defensive players of the Torino team began to feel a little embarrassed.

In the 8th minute, all six players of the home team rushed into the opponent's penalty area, forming a siege situation.After Chiesa received a pass from his teammate two meters away from the right sideline of the small penalty area, he prepared to pick the ball and pass Rossettini in front of him, but he failed to grasp the power and the ball was far away from his body .But this just gave him a good opportunity for Valero on the small penalty area line. The bald star directly swung his right foot and shot a strong shot, which was saved by Joe Hart, who reacted extremely quickly.But the ball rebounded to the center but fell in front of the unguarded Saponara. He swept the ball into the middle of the goal with a very beautiful side hook on the ground. With a flick of the glove, nothing was taken away."

1 to 0, most people did not expect the goal to come so quickly, but facing the strong attack of their own team, the [-] Fiorentina fans at the scene had no reason not to cheer, so the entire Frankie Stadium instantly changed. It became a sea of ​​joy, and people shouted the names of the players in turn, with an astonishing momentum.

Li Mudi was once again very annoyed by the inability of the Turin players to concentrate. There were two consecutive missed players near the small penalty area of ​​his side. Neither can win.However, this problem seems to have become a stubborn disease of the Red Bulls. Similar problems have occurred in many consecutive games, but the weaker teams failed to seize those opportunities.However, strong teams like Roma and Fiorentina will not easily spit out what is fed into their mouths. How to solve this problem has become a task that the Turin coach needs to think about in the next time.
