Chapter 107: Long-awaited! New reinforcements appear!
Players from both teams have lined up in the player tunnel!
Almost every player of Trabzonspor looked at Chen Xiaoliang, wanting to see what was so special about a guy worth 41 million euros. Chen Xiaoliang even felt a little embarrassed!
I'm not a giant panda in the zoo...
As the live commentary was broadcast, both sides lined up to enter the venue!
On the Roma side, captain Pellegrini walked first , while the two high-priced new signings Chen Xiaoliang and Abraham walked at the back and second to last respectively!
In the Red Country’s live broadcast room, Red Country fans who had seen the starting lineup in advance had already gathered together!
It goes without saying that Nanshan Bisheng Group, which tasted the sweetness in the Scottish Premier League, spent a sky-high price of 150 million euros to purchase the three-year exclusive broadcasting rights for Serie A and this season's Europa League!
Then they made a package of the live broadcasts of Roma’s 38 league rounds and the Europa League matches, priced at 268 yuan a year, and sold three million copies in just over a month!
For fans, the further Roma goes in the Europa League, the more profitable it will be for them!
This time, everyone is looking forward to not only Chen Xiaoliang, but also Wu Qiuwang!
Everyone wants to witness what kind of sparks !
However, Wu Lei is still sitting on the bench in this game.
However, the good news is that starting from this season, not only has the Serie A confirmed that five substitutions will be allowed during regular time, but all European competitions have adopted this rule!
For substitute players, this means a greatly increased chance of playing!
“Beep!”
The home team kicks off!
After the start of the game, the eight-time Slovak Footballer of the Year and former Napoli star Hamsik became the most active player on the field!
In this game, as the right central midfielder, he repeatedly jumped to the sidelines and frequently attacked the defense of Roma's new signing Bigna!
On the Roma side, with two defensive midfielders in the formation, the defense on the left side relies more on Cristante.
In front of Hamsik, there is a right winger, Gervinho, who has also played for top teams like Arsenal and played in Roma for 3 years.
But what’s interesting is that these two 34-year-old veterans, one who played for the Red Country Dalian Professional Football Club and the other who played for China Happy Team, were nicknamed “Red Super League legends” by the fans in the live broadcast room.
This game has also become what they call the Red Super League legends derby.
In the 4th minute, Hamsik and Gervinho made a two-pass combination. Gervinho dribbled the ball to the middle and distracted Binya's defense!
Trabzonspor right-back Peris came on and Gervinho passed the ball back to him!
Perez crosses!
Three offensive players of Trabzonspor rushed into the penalty area to compete for the header!
Chen Xiaoliang returned to defense, squeezed the opponent's forward Giannini in the air, and headed the ball out of the baseline!
Trabzonspor corner kick!
They chose to take a tactical corner kick!
Bakstad took the ball a few steps and made another high cross!
It seems that Trabzonspor was prepared to threaten Roma's goal with frequent high-altitude bombing at the beginning of the game!
Their two central defenders also rushed up!
Hugo jumped up and headed the ball!
Mancini, who was defending him, wanted to jump but was blocked by Hamsik!
It was Chen Xiaoliang again! He ran over quickly and headed the ball away as if he was gliding through the air!
"This...this jumping ability seems to have never been seen in Rangers' games?" Joao looked at the scene in disbelief.
Mourinho said confidently: "I saw him play for the youth team for the first time at Tottenham last year, and he shocked everyone present with a flying header in the 89th minute!
The height at that time was even higher than today! I have never seen a 16-year-old boy jump that high! "
Karsdorp grabbed the ball headed by Chen Xiaoliang!
A diagonal pass to Abraham who stayed in the center circle!
After Abraham received the ball, two opposing midfielders came up to block him, and he quickly passed the ball to Mkhitaryan on the left!
There was no one in front, behind, or around the Armenians, so they ran all the way along the left road!
Bring it into the restricted area!
The opponent's midfielder Berat rushed over when he returned to defense!
Mkhitaryan inverted triangle!
Abraham was left alone!
He stopped the ball with his left foot, adjusted to his right foot, and prepared to shoot!
The opponent's left back Ismael blocked the ball horizontally!
Berat got the ball and kicked it out of bounds!
Barrage:
【What a pity! 】
[What are you hesitating about? Why not just push with your left foot? ]
[Mkhitaryan was stunned! He ran for so long in vain! ]
[Traditional virtues! Just push the empty door early! ]
[If Wu Qiuwang had played this ball, he might have scored! ]
[Haha, if the ball changes hands, it will go to the goalkeeper.]
…
Roma kicks a throw-in!
Binya throws it to Mkhitaryan!
Perez behind him interfered and Mkhitaryan lost the ball!
Perez made a long pass to Gervinho, who got the ball after being offside and started running wildly!
Ibanez chases him with all his might!
Mancini is also retreating at full speed!
Gervinho brought the ball to the right side of the penalty area and made a low pass in front of the goal!
The ball rolled quickly between goalkeeper Patricio and Mancini who was returning to defense!
Trabzonspor striker Giannini was a step slow!
All the home team fans cried out in regret!
Ibanez yelled at Mancini! Like he was complaining!
But Chen Xiaoliang couldn't understand what he was saying! It seemed that Ibanez was anxious and was shouting in his hometown language!
【Dong Dong Dong】
[Host language difficulties detected]
【System language pack (Portuguese) unlocked】
Depend on!
This is simply perverted!
In addition to the Italian language that was activated by the system when he first arrived in Italy, Chen Xiaoliang has now fully mastered three foreign languages!
"He's hitting the junction between the two of you! Stay close to him during the transition between offense and defense! Don't give him a chance to go offside!"
Chen Xiaoliang shouted at Ibanez!
Ibanez was stunned... Mancini was also stunned...
One was surprised how this red country boy could speak authentic Portuguese, and the other was surprised how the red country people could also speak the bird language of Ibanez...
Others could not understand what Chen Xiaoliang was yelling, but Joao could hear it clearly. He and Mourinho were both native Portuguese.
"Jose, is this one of the reasons why you like him?"
"No...I never heard him speak Portuguese."
Although it was very unexpected, Mourinho was very happy!
As a translator, he has always boasted that he is proficient in many European languages. When he saw that Chen Xiaoliang also had this ability, he felt that he had found the right person!
People who can speak multiple foreign languages are geniuses!
So now there are two geniuses in the team!
Ibanez was furious because he almost lost the ball. When he saw Chen Xiaoliang shouting at him, he wanted to yell back, "How dare you, a new kid, order me around?"
Just at this moment Mourinho stood up from the coaching seat, pressed his hands down, and signaled the team to play slower.
Upon seeing this, Ibanez immediately held back his greeting and complained in his heart:
"Damn, this Red Country kid can speak Portuguese. Did the head coach teach him? I was just about to scold him when the head coach stood up to support him. He's closer to him than his own son! Doesn't the coach need a son? I can do that too!"
In the next ten minutes or so, both sides attacked and defended, but the success rate was not high. They fell into a dilemma of strangling each other on the flanks, and the ball possession rate was roughly the same.
In the last 5 minutes of the first half, both sides had another good chance.
Trabzonspor used tactical corner kicks to make two consecutive high-quality long shots, one of which was blocked by Pellegrini and the other was saved by Patricio.
Roma used a quick counterattack, with Zaniolo breaking into the penalty area and shooting at a small angle, but his shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Cakir. Abraham's follow-up shot actually flew away facing the empty goal!
It’s simply the Roman version of Happy Football!
This ball also made Mourinho, who had been calm on the sidelines, hold his head in his hands in disappointment!
Mourinho made adjustments at halftime.
Replace Abraham and Wu comes on.
Zaniolo was at the front, Wu Lei switched to the right side to play as right winger, Pellegrini retreated from the attacking midfielder and played as a double central midfielder with Cristante, one on the right and one on the left, leaving Chen Xiaoliang to play as a single defensive midfielder.
The formation was adjusted from 4231 with double defensive midfielders to 4321 with single defensive midfielder.
However, Mourinho did not forget to encourage Abraham who was substituted.
Although he failed to seize both chances, he created these two opportunities during counterattacks. For this reason, the team will continue to give him a starting position!
When Mourinho said this, he was not speaking in a low voice to one person alone, but to everyone in the locker room.
Salah's face looked even uglier.
The second half is about to begin and players from both teams return to the court!
Seeing Wu Lei come on as a substitute, the Hongguo live broadcast room exploded again!
For the first time, two players from the Red Country appeared in a European match together representing a team from one of the top five leagues!
Fans in the live broadcast room posted comments like [Wu Qiuwang scored a goal]!
Of course, there are also some people who say things like "It's good enough to be able to touch the ball", and are completely pessimistic about Wu Lei's prospects.
As for Chen Xiaoliang, training alone is no longer enough to improve the tacit understanding between him and Wu Lei. They must rely on more actual competitions to improve it.
If he can achieve something in such a game, it will not only build confidence for Wu Lei, who is already 30 years old, but also help him improve his status in the team.
Now is the best chance!
