Chapter 109: Kick! The Red Country's two stars shine in the European Championships!
【Dong Dong Dong】
[Do you accept the time-limited mission for this game?]
[Limited time mission content: Win this game]
[Limited-time mission conditions: Physical recovery cards cannot be used]
[Limited-time mission reward: Professional quality +1]
Um?
The last time a limited-time task appeared in a game was when I was in Tottenham's youth training camp. Could it be that I used the stamina recovery card every half-time, so the task didn't pop up?
"accept."
Chen Xiaoliang did not hesitate. Anything that could make him stronger was worth a try!
What's more, professionalism is an attribute like a halo. It not only affects yourself, but also your teammates' performance in games and training. The higher the professionalism, the more committed teammates will be in the game and less lazy in training.
He is simply the embodiment of a model worker and a role model of morality!
In the following games, Roma, who played with two strikers, began to try more long shots and through passes.
Having tasted the sweetness, Trabzonspor continued to play long passes.
Facing Cornelius' targeted suppression, Chen Xiaoliang consciously leaned back to help Ibanez deal with the threat of high balls.
Fortunately, with Smalling on the right, most of the high balls on the right side fell into the control of him and Mancini.
As time went on, although their physical strength was declining, the frequency of the exchanges between the two sides became faster and faster.
As soon as Trabzonspor got the ball, they tried to bypass the midfield and go directly to the high point in the frontcourt.
Roma also hopes to score another goal by taking advantage of a quick counterattack with the movement of several new players.
Both sides fought more and more anxiously, and their attacks became more and more disorganized.
Mourinho's frown deepened.
Not being able to use the physical card and having to cover the ground defense in front of the penalty area and the high balls in the penalty area have made Chen Xiaoliang feel a little physically strained. The running ability of Pellegrini and Cristante, two pure Italian midfielders, made Chen Xiaoliang feel even more exhausted.
Compared to the captain Pellegrini, who has outstanding skills and delicate footwork, Cristante's defensive ability is slightly better, but the two have a common shortcoming, which is explosiveness and speed.
When facing a team that uses ground-based tactics, their overall view and positioning can cut off the opponent's passing routes and make up for their own lack of running coverage ability.
But facing a traditional English team like today that doesn't talk to you on the ground, the two players defending in the midfield were almost like invisible, looking up the whole time and watching the ball fly over their heads again and again.
Maybe after a game, they will have to go to the hospital to check whether their cervical vertebrae are injured.
In the 73rd minute, Hamsik made a two-on-one pass, got rid of Cristante and rushed forward again.
Chen Xiaoliang knew that he would not come to the middle to confront him head-on, so he stayed at the front of the penalty area and did not blindly rush for the ball.
Sure enough, after observing, Hamsik passed the ball directly to the newly-come Norwegian midfielder Trondsen on the left.
Norwegian?
Have you ever seen Haaland dribble past opponents with a bull run or a bicycle kick?
No, he'll just run you over with the ball.
Have you ever seen Solskjaer try to dribble past several players before taking a shot?
No, he just finds the best opening and shoots.
Have you ever seen Riise attacking with his mind instead of his body?
No, every time he shot, he wanted to kick the ball through the opponent's net.
What is a Norwegian? This is a Norwegian.
Eddie Newton’s last name is also Newton, but what he wants is not an apple falling on his head, but shells falling on his opponent’s head!
Under his instructions, Trondson received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left and swung it into the penalty area.
The person he was looking for was the Dane Cornelius.
One is from Norway, the other is from Denmark. The descendants of the two Nordic countries combined together are like pirates that fell from the sky, trying to hunt down their targets in the most direct way.
Add to that a head coach who was a traditional English player, and Xavi would cry while Pirlo would remain silent when watching this football.
But they targeted a central defender from South America, who might never know what Northern Europe is like in his life.
The ball flew towards them flat and fast, and the other two forwards of the opposing team began to move forward, also mobilizing Smalling and Mancini.
The entire restricted area was in chaos!
Cornelius took a step left, then a step right, twisting his big little butt, just to avoid getting close to Ibanez, leaving some space for himself to run towards the header.
Seeing that the ball was about to fall, Cornelius took two steps to run and was about to jump, but Chen Xiaoliang rushed up from behind him and headed the ball away. Cornelius, who jumped a step late, didn't know that someone had rushed out from behind him, and his face hit Chen Xiaoliang's butt directly, and both of them fell down.
Trabzonspor players immediately surrounded the referee and asked for a penalty!
The referee who was outside the penalty area saw it clearly. It was a clean header without any accompanying movements, not to mention that it was Cornelius who hit his face on his buttocks.
This scene was replayed repeatedly from different angles in the live broadcast room.
The fans of the Red Country laughed and swiped the comments [Missing peaches]
Chen Xiaoliang got up and shouted at Ibanez again in Portuguese, which he spoke better than the locals:
"Can you be tougher? You're just standing there like a wimp! Get on top of him, make him eat his ass! He only knows how to head the ball! He's no match for you if you play with your feet!"
Having said that, I couldn't help but think of the Goldson and Balogun, two anti-aircraft guns produced in Glasgow.
Ibanez had a lot of grievances today. If he was yelled at by Chen Xiaoliang in the first half, it was because of Mourinho's face that he endured it. Now he really had nothing to say.
Chen Xiaoliang has cleaned up his mess twice, and he is willing to be yelled at.
He thought that when he was playing in the Brazilian Serie A for Fluminense, he had to defend almost all the Samba attackers who wanted to dribble past him thousands of times with bicycle kicks and bull kicks. He had never encountered such an unreasonable team like today.
Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.
It's not just Gattuso, he also saw the shadow of Gerrard in Chen Xiaoliang.
It is amazing that this 17-year-old kid actually has two G-8 bodies!
It turned out to be the right thing to do to send him away this year!
But it's not the right time yet, he has only been in the team for three months.
He has experienced the drastic consequences of locker room turmoil at Real Madrid, Manchester United and Tottenham.
In Rome, even if he was a madman, even if he denied it, he could not make the same mistake again.
So I have to wait a little longer, until the team's morale is up, they fully understand my coaching intentions, the entire club is on the right track, and even wins the championship.
By that time, with the complete trust of the club's top management and fans, he can transform the club completely according to his own ideals.
The most important thing right now is to win this game!
Although the situation on the field was not very stable at the moment, he had no intention of letting the five attackers in the frontcourt retreat.
He is Mourinho. The only teams that can be considered rivals in his coaching career are those giants that once blocked his way to the championship.
Trabzonspor?
In his eyes, this kind of team is just a passing cloud.
Would a man who spends every day with Liu Yan and Yifei still be interested in Yufeng and Furong?
He firmly believes that his team will win.
However, in his original script, the suspense of this battle should have ended at the 75th minute, and then Veretout would replace Chen Xiaoliang to save his strength for the Serie A opening game.
But the turning point in front of him could not shake him at all, just like Thiago Motta's red card could not change his Inter Milan's final victory over Barcelona!
In the 79th minute, Roma had a great chance!
Trondsson did the same thing again, kicking a high ball to Cornelius, but this time the ball was too light and was caught directly by Chen Xiaoliang, who made a long pass to Wu Lei on the right side of the front court!
Wu Lei caught the ball while on offside, but his shot was a little too far!
But it doesn’t matter, he sprinted with all his strength and stopped the ball before it went out of the baseline!
Wu Lei made a reverse triangle pass!
Marayol follows up with a shot!
Kicked it!
The ball bounced off the opponent's central defender Hugo and flew out of the baseline!
What the hell! Chen Xiaoliang was stunned! The other teammates were also stunned!
Is this Real Madrid’s youth training?
Mourinho and Joao on the sidelines raised their hands to celebrate, but now they were shaking their heads and sighing.
Corner kick!
Mancini (193cm tall), Ibanez (185cm tall), Smalling (194cm tall) and Chen Xiaoliang (183cm tall) all stepped forward. Together with Cristante (186cm tall), five tall players gathered in Trabzonspor's penalty area!
Left-footed Carles Perez raised his hand, took a run, and kicked!
Because it was a corner kick from the right side with the left foot, the ball had a very and also had some drop!
Roma players move forward to compete for the header!
When Chen Xiaoliang, who was at the front point, saw that the ball was going to the back point, he did not jump.
Ibanez at the back point took a few steps diagonally, adjusted the angle and half jumped to head the ball!
The ball flew straight to the other side of the goal!
Trabzonspor goalkeeper Cakir had no reaction and turned his neck to look at the flight path of the ball!
"Bang!"
The ball hit the bottom of the crossbar!
It landed right in front of Chen Xiaoliang who was only 2 meters away from the goal line!
Without thinking, he swung his foot and kicked up!
At this distance, it's like pointing a gun at someone's head. What kind of shooting skills are needed?
Don't even mention that there are only 5 shots, even if there is only 1, you have to shoot once!
Too close! Chakir was like being hit by the sunflower acupuncture finger. He still had no reaction and watched the ball being kicked into his own goal again!
1 to 2! Roma leads again!
Because it was a lucky ball, Chen Xiaoliang did not celebrate passionately. Instead, he smiled and clapped with his teammates who came over.
Mourinho celebrates!
Joao and fitness coach Lapeti also hugged and celebrated!
The players on the bench, whether they were substituted or not on the field, were also applauding and cheering!
Only Diawara and Shalawi still had stern faces.
"Damn! This guy's luck is unstoppable. He even let this kid pick up a wallet!"
Diawara, who was sitting on the bench, became more and more unhappy the more he thought about it. He was so angry that his teeth were itching and he squeezed his thigh hard with his hand.
Weletu cursed: "Why the hell are you pinching my thigh?!"
Mourinho looked back at Diawara's disgusting reaction and became more determined to sell him.
"Tell Pinto to sell this guy and Thornton to me before the transfer window closes! Sell them as soon as the price is acceptable! I don't want to keep such people in the team!"
Joao silently sent a text message to the club's sports director Pinto...
For the rest of the game, all Roma players retreated, leaving only Marayol and Wu Lei wandering in front.
Trabzonspor tried several more aerial balls, but all failed and the game ended in the 93rd minute.
In the first round, Roma took the lead!
After the game, the players of both teams shook hands with each other on the field.
Chen Xiaoliang could feel that at least several of his teammates on the team's defense line, especially vice-captain Mancini, had a significantly different attitude towards him.
Ibanez was basically defeated by himself in this game.
Among the remaining players, Wu Lei naturally needs no introduction. The other players who are new players like himself this season, Patricio, Viña, Niles and Abraham all recognize him very much.
Especially goalkeeper Patricio, as a European Cup champion and also a follower of Mourinho, he loves him and has been very supportive of him since he joined the team. He is also the most supportive of him among the team's senior players.
Abraham, who came from Chelsea for 40 million euros, just won the Champions League with the team last season. After Chen Xiaoliang came into contact with him, he found that he seemed to be a replica of Morelos. However, unlike the Colombian iron man, Abraham, who grew up in London, is a very avant-garde young man.
The only ones left are the Italian players who have been in the team for many years and two thorns competing for the same position.
He and Mourinho had already reached a tacit understanding on this point.
If a new coach wants to change the temperament of a team, he must start by taking control of the locker room.
Of course, today is just the first step.
The fans of the Red Country who were watching the game in the live broadcast room were very excited. Many of them kept chatting in the barrage for more than half an hour before leaving. At this time, it was already dawn in most parts of the Red Country.
The editor of Zhuiboba even made an exclusive poster overnight, with Chen Xiaoliang and Wu Lei printed on it, with the title: "Double Happiness"
The following popular new books soon emerged on a certain platform: "I woke up and became Roma's defensive midfielder", "Mourinho started the game", "King of the small penalty area, Mourinho asked me to join Roma", "After being fired by Tottenham, I became the world's number one coach", "Starting from coaching Roma"...
