Chapter 315 43. The main battle in Rome
The Roma team attaches great importance to this game. They are now only 5 points away from Milan, but their state is a little bit worse after the New Year. They were eliminated by Milan in the Coppa Italia. In the last game, they beat Juventus 4-0 at home. , the morale of the team has recovered.

Capello was full of praise for Trapani in his pre-match press conference.

"Trapani is not a simple team. They have just been promoted from Serie B this season, but they have proved that they are capable of gaining a foothold in Serie A! In my opinion, this is a goal in line with their strength, and we must be more careful in this game!"

In his tone, he seemed to regard Trapani as a huge stumbling block to hit the league championship, but he also expressed the team's confidence afterwards, and then beat Juventus, he said that Rome has the ability to beat Trapani Pani, the key is that the team needs to stay focused.

Rome's flag Totti was as cautious as Capello. After arriving at the Colleni Hotel, he accepted an interview with Trapani's local TV station "Extraordinary", saying that Trapani is not so easy to deal with.

"Now we need to win all the games while waiting for Milan to make a wrong move. The Champions League will definitely take some of the energy out of Carlo Ancelotti's team and we are ready to take advantage of that!"

"I've been very impressed with Trapani's performances so far this season, they have only lost one game recently and we really have to be vigilant in this game! Beat Juventus 4-0 It is a wonderful thing, I hope we can continue the form we played against Juventus, we are confident of winning!"

Unlike other coaches, Hugo is very daring to speak out his thoughts to the players. For this game, Hugo’s goal is random. It’s good to get one point, or even three points , zero is fine.

The score of this game was not in his plan, he said to his players without hesitation, "They must be a strong team, they must not be easy to deal with, you may feel a lot of pressure in your heart , but now I tell you that this game does not require any pressure, I have no target requirements for this game, even if there are requirements, I just hope that we can play our own characteristics!"

This kind of conversation was not made in the locker room before the game, but was brought up early. According to the plan Hugo and everyone said before, in the league, you must ensure three points against the underdogs, and try your best to win against the mid-range teams. Three points, facing a strong team like Roma, you can get it, it doesn't matter how many points you get.

So generally speaking, during the preparation period during this period, the mentality of Trapani's players has relaxed a lot. In addition, the recent record is really good, everyone is in a better mood, the training atmosphere is very relaxed, and the players are interviewed. Sometimes I have more confidence and confidence.

In an interview with the German media "Bild", Klose said that the current atmosphere of the team is very good, and it is absolutely capable of causing trouble for Rome.

Micoud also said in an interview with "Corriere dello Sport" that we are ready and we will give Roma a little color at the Barbera Stadium.

On the day before the battle, there was still no tense atmosphere in the locker room. What should be said and arranged, Hugo had already explained clearly. The players in the locker room were laughing and preparing to go out. When it was time to go out, Hugo and them Everyone shook hands and left the locker room.

Compared with Trapani's ease, the Roma team's strings in the visiting team's locker room are very tight. They need these three points too much. In fact, every coach is no different from Hugo. They have a steelyard in their hearts. Which game We should go all out to win, and we have a clear concept of which game can be slightly lowered. The match against Trapani is a must-win game for Capello, counting on Lecce in the relegation zone It is unimaginable to stop Milan at the San Siro Stadium. If Rome wants to retain the suspense of the championship, it must not fall behind.

Even if he was repeating his thoughts, Capello still used the little time before the game to make arrangements for the players, not daring to relax at all.

From a fair point of view, Capello really deserves to be a famous teacher of the generation. Roma's current lineup is actually not good enough. The only one who can make a move is a super star like Totti, Cassano and so on. Fame is greater than strength. Compared with the top three in the north, Roma's lineup is undoubtedly much worse. Capello's ability to bring this team to the point where they can bite Milan is already considered the limit.

Roma has a 442 formation, goalkeeper: Pellizzoli

Defender: Zebina Samuel de Raspanucci
Midfielder: Thomas Emerson Dakota Lima
Forward: Totti Cassano
Last summer, Roma introduced the Romanian central defender Qiwu from Ajax, and recalled the Brazilian Mancini from Venice. These two players are the main players of Roma this season and have participated in many games. Good results are inseparable from these two people, but they were unable to play in this game due to physical reasons, and Candela was also absent.

Trapani's injury situation has improved during this period. Except for Ribery who needs to rest due to an ankle injury, everyone else is here.

Trapani played a regular 352 formation during the game.

Goalkeeper: Kameni
Defender: Barzali, Victor Peruso

Midfielder: Mario Mascherano, Pizarro, Micu Evra
Forward: Tony Lose
After the start of the game, Roma appeared to be very cautious, and Trapani was not in a hurry. Trapani's formation was a little bit behind. At the beginning, Trapani still showed fear of Rome's ability. After the Roma team took possession of the ball, They are not in a hurry to attack, and they slowly turn their feet on the field. This is their habit. The most important thing is not to concede the ball. The team needs a little time to get used to Trapani's rhythm, and the players also need a little time. Time to get used to the ball game.

As a result, in the first 10 minutes, Roma occupied possession of the ball, but Trapani was in a better position in the defense. Neither side could create any chances, not even a single shot!

Totti and Cassano definitely have the ability, but their strengths are excellent technical ability and good ball control ability, but if you want to get rid of the breakthrough, then they are not top masters, and the passing route given to them after getting rid of Rarely, Trapani's players are also relatively good in positioning, and it is difficult for them to pose any threat.

Of course, for players like them, two or three chances in a game are enough to kill the game, so everyone doesn't seem very anxious.

Mascherano's key task today is to follow Totti. Totti is taller than him, but not as fast as Mascherano. In the 6th minute, Totti took the ball and wanted to get rid of Mascherano. But Mascherano was so quick to break the football. When it comes to turning around, Mascherano is really not afraid of anyone.

Hugo unscrewed a bottle of water on the edge of the field and took a few sips. His strategic arrangement for this game was to prevent Rome's opening attack in the first stage, and then gradually exert its strength in the later stage.

Who would have thought that the Roma team was actually very calm, and they also maintained a lot of patience for this determined game. They were not slow or fast. As expected of the team led by Capello, stability overwhelmed everything.

After drinking the water, Hugo walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Control the ball! Don't let them lead you by the nose!"

This means that the players need to control the ball and start to escape the passive defensive posture, which will cause a little trouble for Roma.

The players quickly understood what he meant. The midfielder composed of Micoud and Pizarro began to consciously control the ball at their feet, and was not in a hurry to pass the ball forward. Evra and Macho on the two wings also began to consciously Go forward and fight for the opening of the pass.

Capello's 442 is a parallel position. This kind of parallel position gives people the impression that the offense and defense are relatively balanced, but today's personnel composition in Rome is not quite balanced. Whether it is Tomasi or Lima Not too much effort on offense.

Lima is old. He is still a semi-main player in Rome this season and has participated in many games, but he is not as sharp as before. Tomasi is not the main candidate under Capello. He has been a substitute for a long time. Originally, Tomasi's position was that of Mancini Jr., and he could not replace Mancini Jr.'s role. Tomasi put more energy on defense instead. Maybe this is also Capello's intention. For this reason, the characteristics that Trapani has shown in the last few games are that they are on the wing, and the two full-backs are very active. People think that the central link with strong technical ability is Trapani's secondary offensive means.

But thinking of Trapani's two double centers, it's not so difficult to understand that Trapani often makes a fuss on the wing. Tony is a strong and powerful center, and Klose is an opportunity-grabbing center. Each type is different, but it puts a lot of pressure on the opponent in the penalty area. There is no team in Serie A whose defense can guarantee to limit the combination of Toni and Klose in the penalty area, so they must Find a way to limit Trapani's sideways, Capello must also have considerations in this regard.
