The national team match day is a kind of torture for the giants.

There are a lot of international players in the rich teams. To play the national team games during the season, the fatigue caused by the exhaustion and continuous games is still a trivial matter. If you suffer an injury during the game, go out vertically and come back horizontally, the club will really cry without tears. .

And no one is responsible for the injury, only the club has to pay the bill. This is what we often call the "FIFA virus".

The most typical example is that at the end of 2017, England coach Southgate called up Manchester United defender Phil Jones, who was already injured.The most bizarre thing is that for a friendly match, Jones was given six shots to block him from playing. Those who didn't know thought that the two had revenge for killing their father.

In the end, Jones' injury worsened. He was close to making a comeback, but he continued to be injured for a month.In the following years, Jones has been suffering from minor injuries and has not played a game for [-] months. It is difficult to separate the relationship between the six-needle closure incident.

Later, an angry Mourinho directly condemned Southgate at the press conference and questioned why he chose an injured player to play an irrelevant friendly match.

This also explains why many players of the rich teams are strategically "injured" as soon as the international match day arrives, and the injury time is exactly one or two weeks...

Of course, there are also some national team coaches who are very rigid. I just want to recruit certain players, and then there are endless wrangling, even to the point of going to court.

In 2008, Barcelona was unwilling to let Messi go to the Beijing Olympics, and even brought the lawsuit to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport.Since the Olympic Games is not a national team event protected by FIFA, even if the club does not let people go, the head coach of the national team has nothing to do.

But Messi’s willingness to participate in the Olympic Games was very strong. Barcelona later let him go. Argentina later won the 2008 Olympic Games. Messi’s credit is indelible, and Barcelona should also have a little credit...

Last season, Roma was hardly infested by the "FIFA virus". The main players were De Rossi, Pjanic and Kjaer who were the main players of the national team. The coach arranges to play.Others are either fringe internationals or not internationals at all, so it doesn't matter at all.

This season is different. With his excellent performance in Rome, De Bruyne has stabilized the main Belgian midfielder. Lamela and Gaitan have also been selected for the national team. Yarmolenko is simply the captain of the national team...

The entire main lineup also made a wish and Totti had nothing to do. They could only train with the substitutes and the youth team to maintain their state, and they couldn't even practice basic offensive routines.

On September [-], the third round of Serie A, Roma played against Bologna at home, and Gonzalez encountered the "FIFA virus" problem.

Although both Gaitan and Lamela are fringe international players, they came off the bench in the two friendly matches, but considering that both of them flew back to South America to participate in the competition, Gonzalez put them both on the bench On the field, Yarmolenko and Herman started the game.

The three midfielders are Totti, Pjanic and Perotta. Pjanic has only played one friendly match, and his physical strength is still sufficient, and Gonzalez is not ready to let him start in the Champions League group match three days later. You can let go of the kick.

Gonzalez also had to make adjustments on the back line. Evra played two friendly games, Duoduo replaced him in the starting position, Angel on the right again went into battle, central defenders Kjaer and Marchinho Adams got his chance.

Except for the two full-backs, this lineup is not weak on paper, but the coordination is not so tacit.

After the opening, Roma kept making mistakes in passing and catching the ball. Only 6 minutes into the game, Gilardino seized the weakness of Duoduo's attack and counter-slowness.

0 to 1!The 30-year-old veteran gave Rome a blow!

Three minutes later, it was Gilardino again, who once again broke through the gate guarded by Stekelenburg with a beautiful lob.

0 to 2!One blow turned into two blows.

Standing on the sidelines, Gonzalez was particularly helpless. No one expected that Gilardino would explode suddenly. He played 26 games last season and only scored six goals in total. He was loaned out by Genoa in the summer like a plague god. bologna.

Unexpectedly, this season he seems to have regained his second spring. He scored three goals before the third game was over, and he has already completed half of the tasks of last season...

Gonzalez is also aware of the problems in Roma's defense. Duoduo likes to step in and has strong assists, but basically no defense and a very poor sense of position. Compared with full-backs, he is more suitable to play as a winger.

Moreover, the cooperation between Duoduo, Kjaer and Yarmolenko is not good. Both goals were pierced by the team's left side.This signing now seems to be a complete failure. Fortunately, Duoduo is just a substitute, and Dong Chuang still has a chance to make up for it.

The game only lasted 10 minutes, and it is impossible for Gonzalez to make a substitution now. He had to switch positions between Kjaer and Marquinhos, let Marquinhos play the left center back, and at the same time let Duo insert more or less, Do your defense first.

This is also a helpless move. Bologna scored two goals in the first 10 minutes. Bologna's morale was high, especially Gilardino, who was very active. Just now, he suddenly kicked a cold shot from outside the penalty area. If it weren't for Stekelenberg Concentration, now Roma is 0-3 behind.

However, the third conceded goal did not come too late. In the 10th minute of the game, another Chinese Super League star, Diamanti, received a pass from Gilardino, and once again opened the door of Rome with a world wave. .

Diamanti also joined Evergrande... He joined the team half a year earlier than Gilardino, but like Gilardino, he couldn't adapt to Evergrande's tactics. He made 24 appearances and only scored four goals. At the end of the season, I was told to find another home quickly.

Evergrande was really miserable that year. It belongs to the fact that it was cheated twice in a row, and Dangdang was the same...

But it was these two older forwards who couldn't even play in the Chinese Super League two years later. They scored three goals for Rome in 10 minutes, like three sap players. How similar was it in Milan?

The Olympic Stadium also seemed to have been pressed on the mute button. Nearly [-] fans were silent, and the air pressure was terribly low.

At this time, the old captain Totti stood up, and he slapped his hands to encourage the morale of his teammates.

"Guys! Keep up the good work. It's only three goals. We still have time. Have you forgotten AC Milan and Juventus last season? We can win both teams. We can also reverse the game!"

"Now our task is to do a good job of defense. We must not lose the ball again. If we have the opportunity, pass the ball to Toro, and he will hold the ball."

Wishing slapped his chest loudly. In the past half an hour, he hardly had a few chances to get the ball. He really wanted to get the ball.

The morale of the Roma players has picked up slightly. Roma is different from Inter Milan in this regard. They have only won one league championship and have not tasted the sweetness of other championships. In other words, they still have motivation.

With this momentum, Roma defended the last 15 minutes without conceding a goal, but there were no decent counterattack opportunities. Bologna's players played out of form and almost made no mistakes.

With a score of 0 to 3, the two sides entered the intermission.
