Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 220



Chapter 220

Napoli played in a 4-3-3 formation.

Center Osmeen scored 12 goals this season and ranked 10th in the Serie A scorer list;

The captain of the left winger is Insigne, and the right winger is Lozano, who has been selected for the Mexico World Cup list;
The three midfielders are Spaniard Fabian Ruiz and Slovakia international Lobotka. Both of them represented their respective countries in the last European Cup. The last one is Angu, who is definitely selected for the World Cup list in Cameroon. Issa;

Central defender Coulibaly is the core of Senegal and Naples' double defense. It is rumored that he will transfer to Chelsea next season, and his selection for the World Cup list is also a certainty. The other is Kosovo international Lamani;

The left back is the Portuguese Mario Rui, and the right back is the 22-year-old Italian Sanoli;
Goalkeeper Meret.

Roma continues to use the three central defender combination that works well against strong teams.

Chen Xiaoliang has a single midfielder, Wei Letu and Pellegrini are in front of him, Cesco and Zaniolo are at the forefront;

Celik has fully recovered from his injury and will start this game as the right wing back, while the left wing back will be Malaysia.

After the opening, the two sides played extremely cautiously, and there were not many troops on offense, and they were testing the opponent's tactical intentions today.

The offense in the frontcourt is basically based on the small-scale cooperation of players and personal ability to create opportunities, and the scene is very flat.

But the charm of football is that it will always surprise you when you don't expect it.

In the 6th minute, Naples midfielder Lobotka made a long pass to Lozano on the right. The Mexico international successfully turned offside and ran directly to the hinterland of the penalty area against the falling ball.

Ibanez, who was in charge of defense on the left side of the penalty area, quickly chased back. Just when the ball bounced off the ground and was about to land in front of Lozano, he made contact with Lozano from behind, and Lozano moved forward fell to the ground.

The referee didn't say anything at the first time. Seeing that the ball went out of the baseline, he signaled that it was a goal kick by Rome.

But the Naples players immediately gathered around, and the home team fans in the audience began to boo continuously.

Under collective pressure, the referee was visibly shaken. While pretending to be calm and driving away the players, he began to communicate with the video referee team.

Zhan Jun: "This ball is very controversial! Mourinho on the sidelines is also protesting, indicating that Lozano has no control over the ball at all, and Ibanez's physical contact with him is also within a reasonable range Zhang Zhi, what do you think?"

Zhang Lu: "This ball is hard to say. You have to replay it to see it carefully. But even if Lozano didn't completely control the ball, according to the trend just now, if there is no Ibañez's collision, his next step will be the ball. Can get the ball or just volley it."

The on-court altercation continued, with the coaches of both sides simultaneously loudly pressuring the fourth official in the coaching area.

It's not just a battle of 22 players on the pitch, it's a fight to the death between two clubs for the final spot.

After a while, the referee finally chose to run to the sidelines to check the VAR in person.

The footage played back in the VAR was also sent to thousands of households along with the live broadcast.

Zhang Lu: "Oh, it's hard to say. Ibanez did make a charge, and Lozano immediately fell to the ground. The key point of this ball depends on how the referee determines the ownership of the ball."

Zhan Jun: "Lozano's height is 175, his weight is only 66 kg, and he is still running at high speed. It is very natural for him to fall to the ground."

"Why do I have a hunch that the more I watch this replay repeatedly, the more the referee will aggravate his desire to award a penalty kick!"

Zhang Lu: "Hey, but no matter what, if there is a change in the opening game, the game will also look better. Otherwise, the two sides will always be cautious and tentative, and it will be difficult to collide with sparks."

Zhan Jun: "The referee turned around and prepared to return to the field! Look at his gestures! It's a penalty kick! The players in Naples were very happy and even hugged Lozano! In the crucial battle for the fourth in the league, this penalty kick may be Change their final fate!"

"Insigne stood on the penalty spot. In the team, as the captain, he is the first penalty shooter!"

"Everyone should also know that this 31-year-old player will go to the Toronto Club of the American Major League League after the end of this season. He debuted in the Naples youth training and has played for the team for 10 years."

"The last time I faced Fiorentina's Cabral, although Fozzato judged the wrong direction, the opponent actually kicked the ball away!"

"I don't know if he has such good luck facing Insigne today?"

"The referee indicated that free throws are allowed!"

"Insigne!"

"The run-up is short!"

"The goal is scored!"

"Forzato judged the right direction this time! But Insigne's shot was very tricky, and the low ball rolled into the net against the inside of the left post!"

"In the 10th minute, Naples led 1-0 at home!"

"Mourinho kept shaking his head on the sidelines! He seemed to be asking why the team always conceded goals for various reasons when facing the other four teams ranked in the top 5 in the league?!"

Zhang Lu: "Hey, but having said that, Roma has indeed suffered some losses in terms of referees this season. The Serie A officials have also imposed penalties on the corresponding referees, but obviously, the strength and determination of this punishment are not enough."

"But Roma itself has problems. Although the ball was controversial, Ibanez's reckless action gave Lozano a chance. If you don't reach out and don't collide, according to the current VAR technology, Lozano will be considered a fake. A fall can also be spotted by the referee."

Zhan Jun: "Zhang Zhi is right. Judging from the current point of view, wingers and central defenders are the biggest problems for Roma. Although based on their current points, they lost both this game and the next game against Inter Milan. Juventus Sri Lanka has won both games and can still keep the second position with the same points, but there must be no mistakes in the last 2 games."

"On the other hand, if you want to catch up with AC Milan, the possibility of competing for the league championship will also be completely destroyed."

These things that Zhan Jun said were exactly what Mourinho was thinking about.

Fighting for the fourth is the minimum goal, and winning the championship can create miracles. Even if Mourinho joined, no one thought that Roma could win the league championship before the season.

And if he does this, and also wins the European Cup and the Coppa Italia, achieving a small triple crown, then he will once again become the most eye-catching coach in Europe.

However, the absurd Serie A referee once again pushed him to the edge of the cliff of his dream.

A very real question lay before him:
In the end, should we continue to defend and counterattack in the away game, and try to score a goal to get 1 point, or risk conceding the ball from now on and go out to fight for a victory, take all 3 points and continue to catch up with AC Milan?

You know, among the top five clubs, apart from AC Milan having a Coppa Italia final with Roma in a month, Juventus, Naples, and Inter Milan have all escaped from the European war and the cup, and they are all focused on In the league.

They don't have to travel around, they don't have double matches in a week and the devil's schedule, and they don't want to advance on multiple lines and win the championship in three ways. They only have four league games and break into the Champions League.

Even if the Coppa Italia and the Europa League win the championship, they can only get one qualification to advance to the Europa League group stage.

Mourinho hesitated. He watched the players retreat to the backcourt defense according to the established tactics, and saw Naples calmly falling in the midfield. He really hesitated.

In the 19th minute, Celik cut in from the right, but Zaniolo retreated to catch the ball and gave him a short pass, which was cut off by Naples left-back Rui Rui.

Rui made a direct long pass to the wing, and Insigne, who had no replay, went forward to catch the ball. Mancini could only shorten the distance if he wanted to turn around and chase, but he still couldn't reach him.

Insigne went to the bottom of the penalty area and passed to the center with his left foot. Osmeen, who was super fast, suddenly stopped. Ibanez, who returned to defense, slipped to the ground before he could react, and watched Osmeen helplessly. En has plenty of time to unload the ball with his right foot, adjust and then choose to hit the goal.

Ibanez, who was too late to get up, firmly crossed his two paws that gave the opponent a penalty kick against his chest. Osmeen's shot hit his knee, bounced high, and fell to the ground again. From the right, Lozano, who followed, swung his right foot and hit the upper right corner of the goal with a volley!
Knowing how much he weighed, Fuzzato, who was blocked at the near post according to the safest position, subconsciously stretched out his left hand, and the ball was blocked out of the baseline!
The referee blows his whistle, corner kick!

Insigne stood at the corner flag, waiting for Napoli's central defender Gao to run up from behind.

The two shots just now made Mourinho's heart hang in his throat.

He suddenly missed Faria, Joao, and even Steve Holland, who is now the assistant coach of the England national team. Talking and talking non-stop, making their suggestions to themselves.

Although sometimes I don't like them doing it.

So he also knew that Foti was sitting there quietly at the moment, not because he had nothing to say, but because this guy figured out his own character, and deliberately sat there without saying a word.

However, at this time, Mourinho needs someone who understands his own mind.

He called Foti over.

"Forty, what do you think?"

Foti asked softly, "Jose, what do you think?"

Mourinho was so angry that he thought to himself: Made, this guy... is still pretending to be confused at a time like this!
"I'm asking you."

Foti quickly looked at his immediate boss, he was sure that Mourinho was really in a hurry.

On the field, Insigne's corner kick was taken, Coulibaly and Mancini collided in the air, Coulibaly pushed the ball out of the baseline, but was called a collision foul by the referee and gave Rome the ball.

Foti: "We are a little passive. The opponent's three strikers don't participate in the defense at all, and they are very wide. Once our wing attacks, they will have a great defense."

Mourinho nodded: "Go on."

Foti: "Their two wingers are facing our two wingbacks. There is not much advantage in speed, but if they defend like this, it means that our wings cannot attack."

"And once you attack, if you want to rely on the left and right central defenders to pull out to defend, then the threat of Osmeen in the middle is too great."

"His speed is too fast, and any central defender will struggle to defend him alone. Our three central defenders are not fast, and it is easy for him to get rid of him in a desperate state."

"We have analyzed these before the game, but the current situation is that the opponent occupies the home court, has one goal, and they want to score another goal to kill us completely. And if we don't rush, they can patiently organize in the midfield, We can't even touch the ball a few times, so we can't convert it into offense and shots."

Mourinho couldn't help nodding. He knew that Foti had learned a lot from him, and he was also meticulous in observing the situation on the field.

But now is not the time for teaching, and what he is eager to hear is the final advice: "Conclusion, and I want to hear your conclusion."

Foti no longer chooses to be cautious: "Let's attack. With our current physical reserves and physical condition, these three central defenders have played almost a whole season. In April, there will be a game almost every 4 days. On planes and hotels."

"Our recent morale is very good, I believe the players are willing to attack, and only when we attack hard enough, their wings will not be able to withstand it will retreat."

Mourinho finally got the answer he wanted in his heart, but he still wanted to confirm one detail: "What about Osimhen? Put it on the wing and let the three central defenders cover the defense area inside the penalty area?"

Foti: "Jose, we have the best defensive midfielder in Italy, he has the strongest defensive ability in the entire Serie A, he has once again proved how tough he is in the game against Fiorentina, making the two wing backs bold Go forward, Ibanez and Mancini block out as soon as they should, and let Chen Xiaoliang do the rest."

Mourinho hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that Veletu's long pass to Sesco was destroyed by Coulibaly, he patted Foti on the back: "You think the same as me, go and arrange it. "

Soon, with a few shouts and a few tactical gestures, not only the Roma players understood Mourinho's intentions, but even Naples knew that Roma was about to change.

In the next 10 minutes, the two sides launched a meat grinding battle in the middle.

Roma's two wing backs, two central midfielders, and Zaniolo, who served as No. 9 and a half, all invested in defense and interception in the middle.

The way of attack is also very clear, that is, the two sides surrounding Naples, even if they are cut off or blocked, they still continue to attack on the sides, luring Insigne and Lozano to retreat to help defend.

And Chen Xiaoliang's position was just as Foti arranged, a little further back.

In the 30th minute, Roma crossed from the right, Cesco failed to grab the first point, Ramani made a clearance to the right and was caught by Anguisa, who immediately passed to Lozano, Naples also chose to play on the right Lu attacked.

Malaysia retreated and defended, defending the inside and putting the outside line. Ibanez settled in the penalty area ahead of time, blocking Lozano's possible breakthrough route.

And Celik hadn't returned because of the cross, and Insigne, who had advanced forward, could only be moved out by Mancini to mark.

Lozano made a few fake moves on the left and right and then forced a cut inside, but Malaysia was already prepared to not give an inch!
Lozano passed back to Anguiza, who came to support behind him, and the latter kicked directly to Lobotka in the center, and Lobotka was then distributed to Insigne on the left.

Osimhen and Smalling were already facing each other in the penalty area.

Suddenly, Insigne made a diagonal pass after an inside cut, and Osmeen suddenly started to go offside to the left!

Even though Smalling has pushed back by one position, he is still completely unable to keep up with Osimhen's abnormal short-distance start speed.

Osmeen received the ball with his right foot, turned around and adjusted the angle to shoot!He knew that Smalling had already been thrown away by him. Even if he caught up at this time, he only needed a reverse dribble to make the old England central defender unable to stop and completely missed.

With the director, the script, and the actors in place, it was as if a good show was about to be staged. After turning around deftly, Osimhen saw a figure in a white jersey and red shorts flashing at his feet.

He didn't even see which leg the man was using to tackle the ball, he only knew that he was being carried by his other leg and fell to the ground in an instant.

Osmeen felt a sharp pain in his right calf, and lay down on the ground and covered his hands in pain.

And No. 33, the shoveling man, stood up at a fast speed, and shook his fist with the roaring Fuzato and Smalling as if he was okay.

Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu shouted at the same time: "Wow!"

Zhan Jun: "This tackle is almost like a shadow across the ground!"

"Osimhen, who was full of confidence, wanted to hit the goal after getting rid of Smalling! I didn't expect Xiao Liang to have his eyes on him!"

Zhang Lu: "This ball is too firm, so firm that I feel a little scary."

At this time, the tackle just now was played back from different angles on the screen.

Barrage:

[I thought Correa's Execution Song was out of print, but I didn't expect that there would be another Osmeen from now on]

[Correia's side is on the side, Osmeen fell into a dog and ate shit]

[Such a tackle is so exciting, Naples players can't appeal to the referee]

[Smolin's mouth opened at that moment]

[Smolin: Where am I?who I am?I'm so scared I want to go home]

【Looking forward to the BGM coming soon】

【what are you guys saying?Who will do the science? 】

...

Zhan Jun also saw the barrage of fans:
"Many fans mentioned Correa in the live broadcast room! There are still many fans asking the source of this meme."

"It was the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League group stage, Juventus vs Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid's Argentine player Joaquin Correa rushed into the penalty area to shoot after receiving a pass from Felix, and was rushed to the goal De Ligt kicked a shovel, just like Osimhen in front of him, the whole person was brought to the ground."

"But because the ball was tackled first and there was no additional action, there is no suspicion of any foul."

"And what the fans can't forget is that De Ligt stood up after the tackle, jumped twice and gave his teammates high fives in celebration."

Zhang Lu: "Hey, but I don't remember that ball, which one is more brutal than today's?"

Zhan Jun: "Hahaha, Zhang Zhi asked very directly. From a sensory point of view, today's ball is faster!"

The team doctor entered the field, and after confirming that there was no obvious trauma, he sprayed cooling spray on Osimhen's leg several times to help him quickly relieve the pain caused by the collision.

Foti: "Jose, do you feel that Chen has grown up again?"

Mourinho: "I think he's growing every day, what have you found?"

Foti: "I think since the head-to-head with Milinkovic with Lazio, this guy has a scary temperament."

"It seems that even if the opponent has a knife in his hand, he will rush to confront the opponent without hesitation."

"If he still has a lot to improve technically, then in terms of spirit, no one in Serie A should be stronger and more determined than him."

Mourinho showed a sly but confident smile: "That means he has thoroughly understood the true meaning of competitive sports."

"The kindness of the winner is called grace, the kindness of the loser can only be called cowardice."

"And football is a sport written by the winners."
