Chapter 114 We are good brothers!
The halftime break is over and both sides are back on the field!
Fiorentina made the first change, with Italiano replacing Joseph Mahler with the club's youth player Castrovilli.
This clearly means using a young man with better physical strength to attack Roma's defense which has relatively insufficient running ability.
Not only that, after the start of the second half, Chen Xiaoliang also found that Vlahovic's positioning had changed significantly.
This guy seemed to be deliberately avoiding me, and specifically attacked the junction between Cristante and Mancini, using the relatively slow speed of these two people to constantly create threats!
The newly-come Castrovilli and another midfielder Pulgar kept hanging around him, and were very active in attacking and organizing the game, so he couldn't free up his hands to defend Cristante for a while.
After Vlahovic dribbled into the penalty area several times in a row, Mourinho made an adjustment and replaced Cristante with Veretout.
The Frenchman never dreamed that with two main defensive midfielders firmly occupying the starting positions, he would be able to get 40 minutes of playing time in the league opener.
Mourinho made it very clear, asking him to focus on disrupting the connection between Fiorentina's midfield and backcourt and Vlahovic!
Wellertu was so excited that he nodded repeatedly!
Huang Jianxiang: "Mourinho seems to have returned to the way he was at Chelsea. Most coaches would consider making substitutions after 60 minutes unless there was a major accident, but when he was at Chelsea, he often made substitutions at halftime, even in the first half."
Zhang Lu: "This is a bit like a battle of wits. You use a player with good stamina and active running to contain my defensive strength, and I also send a player with good stamina and active running to disrupt your offensive delivery."
Mourinho hooked Cristante from the sidelines and sent him to the bench, constantly encouraging and affirming him. He replaced him not because he played badly.
The Italian midfielder played in the European Cup in the summer and had less than two weeks of rest in the pre-season. He just played a high-intensity European Cup match in Turkey three days ago. He really deserves a rest.
The 1.77-cm-tall Veretout came on the court and ran around Vlahovic like a crazy rabbit.
The Frenchman, who achieved success late in life, actually became famous at a young age. In 2013, he helped the French national youth team win the FIFA U20 World Cup as a core player.
It was also with this championship that he was spotted by Aston Villa and went to the Premier League.
However, due to poor performance, he was sold back to Ligue 1 after one season.
Later, Florence took a fancy to him and brought him to Serie A, where he finally played to his worth and was eventually bought by Roma.
The reason why he was angry about the arrival of Chen Xiaoliang was that after he finally became a starter at the age of 28, he no longer had time to waste on the bench.
Vlahovic is no stranger to Veretout either. The two had been teammates in Fiorentina for half a season and had faced off against each other in the league in the past two seasons.
He knew very well that Werner's advantage was that he had average abilities in all aspects, but this was also his weakness.
In the 51st minute, Fiorentina captain Biraghi once again made a small-scale cooperation, shook off Karsdorp and rushed to the left bottom line.
At this time, Fiorentina's two forwards and two midfielders rushed into the penalty area to prepare for the attack!
Biraghi made a high cross, and although Veretout kept a close eye on Vlahovic, he was 13 centimeters taller than Vlahovic and was unable to compete with him in the header.
But the French are no ordinary people. If they can’t beat you in the upper three routes, they will attack you in the lower three routes.
He jumped at the same time as Vlahovic, but Vlahovic went towards the ball, while he went towards Vlahovic.
This kind of header competition in the penalty area is completely legal if there is a certain degree of physical collision in the air.
It was precisely because of this header that Vlahovic's balance was slightly affected, preventing him from fully exerting force on the ball.
But despite this, this ball still required Patricio to make a flying save to ensure that the score was not changed!
Fiorentina corner kick attack!
Biraghi takes another corner kick!
Still a high ball passed to the back point!
Facing Ibanez's defense, Milenkovic, who was ambushing at the back post, easily headed the ball again!
Or ferry to the middle!
This cooperation is exactly the same as the last corner kick!
But this time the shooter was Vlahovic!
When running in the penalty area, the newly-come Castrovilli acted like a pick-and-roll, helping Vlahovic who was going to grab the ball to stop Veretout!
At that moment Vlahovic felt that the ball must be in!
In order not to miss the opportunity, he chose to shoot directly this time instead of adjusting to his left foot and shooting as usual!
However, Roma does not have only one defensive midfielder!
There was a pair of eyes staring at him in the penalty area, and they had already stepped forward to block him!
Vlahovic shot with his right foot! Hit the ground!
Although not as powerful as his left foot, the power of this ball is still very great!
Teammate Gonzalez standing in front has subconsciously jumped up to make space for the ball!
But a foot flew out!
Chen Xiaoliang slid to block the ball!
The ball bounced off the ground! The change in direction caused the force of the ball flying towards the goal to be much smaller!
Patricio jumped high and stretched out his hand to lift the ball over the top of the goal frame!
Another corner kick!
Vlahovic, who fell to the ground due to losing balance while shooting, shouted a few times after getting up:
"Fuck! Why! It's this guy again! Why does he always come to guard me and not guard others?!"
Having missed the opportunity, he was depressed. He knew that this Red Country kid was not someone to be trifled with, and he did not want to cause trouble, so he said the above words in Serbian.
Milenkovic, his fellow countryman who had just passed the header to him, heard him shouting and came over to encourage him.
【Dong Dong Dong】

In just that instant, a golden light flashed on his body, and Chen Xiaoliang understood what Vlahovic had just said.
Biraghi is about to take a penalty corner kick, and the players in the penalty area are moving towards each other!
After Milenkovic a row, Mourinho shouted on the sidelines and Smalling immediately moved to the back post to focus on defending him.
Corner kick! This time it's at the front post!
Mancini rushed forward and kicked it away immediately! This corner kick did not pose any threat.
As Vlahovic was walking back, he heard Chen Xiaoliang, who was not far from him, whisper in Serbian:
"As long as you get off the field, I will definitely not defend you."
Vlahovic was stunned! He looked at Chen Xiaoliang with wide eyes!
What's with this accent that's as standard as a news anchor's ? ! Why does this red countryman speak Serbian? !
Milenkovic, who had not walked far, also heard it and looked back at Chen Xiaoliang with a confused look on his face.
"Why do you speak our country's language?" Milenkovic, who is also a defensive player, had no hostility towards Chen Xiaoliang and asked curiously.
"Uh..." Chen Xiaoliang was stunned for a moment.
"Because... because Serbia is a good brother of the Red Country..."
Vlahovic and Milenkovic looked at each other, they were completely stunned!
The two of them simply didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The referee saw three people whispering and thought there was an argument between the players, so he came up and separated the three people.
The other players of the two teams didn't know what the three people were mumbling, but it was definitely not Italian.
Ibanez stared at Chen Xiaoliang from behind, wondering if this guy was even so good at cursing? And he could even scold two people at once?
Are all the Reds geniuses? Do they know every language in the world?!
The director of the live broadcast of the Serie A league obviously noticed this, and they immediately invited a language expert to analyze the conversation between the three people through lip reading.
In leagues such as the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A, where competition is relatively fierce and there are more controversies on the field, quarrels between players and players, and coaches and coaches are often seen.
Therefore, TV stations have special lip-reading experts to analyze what they actually said. Once these abusive words are analyzed, they can easily become a hot topic of public opinion.
Also because of this, many players and coaches cover their mouths with their hands when talking on the court.
Soon, the lip-reading expert repeated the conversation between the three people.
In the Penguin live broadcast room, Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Lu also received the news from the front under the prompts of their assistants, and told the fans in the live broadcast room.
They were both surprised that Chen Xiaoliang could speak Serbian!
[Fuck! Chen Xiaoliang is awesome! ]
[This wave of 666 not only prevented Vlahovic, but also enhanced the friendship between the two countries]
[Brothers, put "We are good brothers" on the public screen ! ]
[Why are you brushing here? Go brush under Vlahovic's Rat account! ]
[Let’s go! Remember to speak Serbian!!]
【Mesmerize! Take it, no thanks】
[I want to go too, who can recommend me a window flipping software? ]
