Chapter 123 I am another Gerald tonight
As the focus team of this season, Roma already has enough traffic. With the nightclub scandal, the attention on Roma has continued to soar. Even the news about the three giants combined in the newspapers does not have as much space as Roma alone.
The three protagonists of the scandal have also become the target of public criticism. Politicians, commentators, religious figures, and athletes from other sports have all spoken out to condemn them, either actively or passively, sincerely or forcedly.
In Europe, you can be despicable in private, but you must be politically correct in public.
Even outside the Trigoria base, a group of members of a feminist organization took off their tops and wrote slogans defending women's rights on their chests in protest.
Even a well-known Swedish environmental activist flew all the way from Stockholm to Rome on a private plane to protest with local environmentalists, condemning Thornton's one-on-a-dozen actions for greatly increasing carbon emissions and accelerating the destruction of the earth.
How dare you!
Everyone wants to show off in a hot spot and get a share of the traffic.
At first, the players were a little overwhelmed by the huge noise outside the training base, but Mourinho was used to it and told them not to worry about it.
It’s not like there haven’t been news reports about his relationship with women.
The uproar caused by his criticism of female team doctor Eva Carneiro for entering the field for physiotherapy without permission because Hazard "faked injury" before the end of the game was far greater than today's scandal.
Later, Chelsea Club sided with him and fired Eva, but the two also engaged in a protracted war of words, in which the media tirelessly fanned the flames, which eventually led to instability in the Chelsea locker room.
Later, after fading from the football circle, Eva became the sports physician of British tennis star Murray. She recently invested in a football club. Although her career is booming, when people think of her, they still call her "the female team doctor who was scolded by Mourinho that year."
Because of this precedent, when Mourinho came to Rome this time, he chose to firmly grasp the control of the locker room as soon as he took over the team. This not only raised the status of his confidants in the locker room, but also gave a big warning to those players who were still optimistic and doing their own thing.
This week's training covered many subjects and was very exhausting, especially for the two captains Pellegrini, Mancini, and Zaniolo. Mourinho said that in order to improve their condition, he asked another fitness coach Carlos Larin to lead the three of them in additional physical training.
This Venezuelan coach is Mourinho's close confidant. He has been following Mourinho since Real Madrid and is an integral member of the Portuguese madman's personal coaching team.
Not only does he have outstanding business skills, he also knows Mourinho's character and thoughts very well.
Aren’t you just full of energy and have nowhere to vent it? Aren’t you just looking for a place to let your legs go weak before going home?
That's fine. After training every day, I'll make your legs weak and then see where you can go.
Carlos Larin made the three people unable to live or die.
The tailor-made and carefully calculated physical training courses seemed to squeeze out every last drop of their physical strength, making them not even want to wait for another red light before driving home.
The gradual improvement of various physical indicators such as body fat percentage and muscle oxygen content every day left the three people with no excuse not to continue.
Watching the three of them training alone in great pain, and then looking at El Shaarawy and Santon training with a group of reserve players under the age of 20, the other players were also training together obediently.
With this warning in mind, the entire team, after a week of high-quality training, headed in unison towards Salerno, a port city in the Campania region in south-central Italy.
In the third round of the league, they will be away at the Arechi Stadium to play against newly promoted Salernitana.
Chen Xiaoliang's right thigh rectus femoris injury has long since healed. The club's chief doctor and sports science director were amazed, believing that such a speed of recovery was unprecedented in their careers.
However, to be on the safe side, Mourinho has informed Chen Xiaoliang in advance that he will only play for 45 minutes in this game.
The draw with Lazio in the last match allowed Chen Xiaoliang to complete only three tasks: [Enter the roster for the next game], [Appear in the next game], [Win the next game] and [Score/assist in the next game], and only obtained 5 hours of training value and 1 physical recovery card.
At the same time, this week he did three hours of recovery training at the club base every day and two hours of aerobic training after returning home, accumulating another 35 hours of training value, and his total training value in the panel reached 76.
Just as he was looking at the attribute page, hesitating which one to add, and then thinking that he should add all of them, he found that the achievement system was jumping, as if there were rewards that had not been collected.
【Dong Dong Dong】
[The achievement of being worth 40 million euros has been achieved]
[Achievement Reward: Any attribute +1]
This is pretty good, and he can't help but look forward to the reward for achieving a value of 50 million euros.
[30-meter goal achievement has been achieved]
[Achievement Reward: Any attack attribute +1]
[40-meter goal achievement has been achieved]
[Achievement Reward: Any Attack Attribute +2]
Awesome!!!
These two star cards are worth using! My thigh pain this week is not in vain!
But after the excitement, Chen Xiaoliang started to think about how to add some...
Among my most direct offensive attributes, shooting is 5, long shot is 4, and free kick is also 4. It doesn't seem cost-effective to add any of them... The remaining offensive attributes are passing 10, crossing 10, heading 10, dribbling 10, corner kick 2...
In addition, the extra points must also be considered from the team's tactics and formation.
Now I play as a single defensive midfielder with two midfielders in front of me, usually Cristante and Pellegrini. Both of them have decent long-range shooting skills, and the chances of being able to make long-range shots when it is my turn like in the last game are actually very rare.
Forget about shooting, he might not even have a chance to shoot from long range, let alone run into the penalty area and shoot directly. What's more, he is a defensive midfielder, and doing this all the time is obviously contrary to tactical common sense.
Free kicks and corner kicks are too specialized, and I am responsible for preventing the opponent's quick counterattack, so I will not consider them for the time being.
As for headers, I mainly focus on destructive headers when defending in the backcourt. In Mourinho's tactical arrangement, when attacking corner kicks, just like other offensive set pieces, I am usually arranged near the midfield to intercept the opponent's quick counterattacks, so I don't have many opportunities to compete for headers for set pieces.
Don't even think about dribbling. Without the ability to pass dribble?
After much consideration, the only two attributes left are passing and crossing.
Passing the ball is of course very important. Football is a game of passing the ball back and forth and then shooting. Mourinho has not forgotten anything in his notebook.
But currently the team plays a 3322 formation, with only two wing-backs specifically responsible for the flanks.
The problem is that among the team's current main lineup, except for captain Pellegrini who has good crossing ability and is the team's first corner kick taker, among the players who can play on the wing, such as Mkhitaryan, Zalewski, Binya, Karsdorp, Carles Perez, Niles, etc., none of them have a strong crossing level.
Another player who can make a good cross, Spinazzola, performed well in the European Cup in the summer, but he may not be able to return until April or May next year due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, which basically means he is out for the season.
The weakness of the cross also resulted in the inability to break through the opponent's iron defense through this offensive method in the last game against Lazio.
Now that he had figured it out, Chen Xiaoliang no longer hesitated.
However, he did not add points immediately. Instead, after the team arrived in Salerno and checked into the hotel in the afternoon, he quickly ran to the hotel's gym to start extra training.
One hour...
Two hours...
Wu Lei, who shared the room with him, couldn't find him, so he called him and found out that he was working out in the gym. He felt ashamed and went downstairs to work out as well.
After a short rest after dinner, he went to the gym again and started doing aerobics...
Curious Abraham and Cesco saw them sneak away after dinner and followed them curiously, thinking that there was some secret activity going on.
When I saw the extra training scene, I was deeply shocked and joined them.
Three hours...
Wu Lei beside him was already exhausted, and Abraham and Cesco also stopped after practicing for an hour and started doing stretching to recover.
The three of them looked at Chen Xiaoliang in surprise as he kept running on the treadmill, and then when he got tired he rode the bicycle for a while, like a perpetual motion machine that couldn't stop.
Four hours!
When the time was up, Chen Xiaoliang stopped immediately, sat on the treadmill, gasping for breath, and opened the panel.
Physical strength recovery card 3→2!
Training value 76→80!
He used these 80 training points to increase his crosses from 10 to 14, and then used the 3-point reward from the long-range shot achievement to increase it again from 14 to 17!
Then use the point given by the achievement of the market value to raise the cross to 18!
18's cross!
This is the limit that can be achieved through training!
To be modest, this crossing ability is not the best in Serie A, but it is also one of the best!
The three people standing by looked at each other in bewilderment as they saw Chen Xiaoliang suddenly sit down and be in a daze for a while, then start to laugh smugly.
Do I need to daydream for a while after training to consolidate the results of the training?
Just when they were confused, Chen Xiaoliang turned his head to look at them, and smiled even more welcomingly.
You three forwards...hehe.
The next day! The whole team practiced on the field.
This was almost the first time for most of the Roma team to step into this stadium. The Arechi Stadium, which can accommodate 37,894 people, is small but fully equipped, and the quality of the grass is also at an upper-middle level.
Chen Xiaoliang heard that the tickets for this game had already been sold out, especially since Roma was in the spotlight recently. The video of El Shaarawy fighting two opponents alone and colliding with the ball with both hands even became popular on P station and became the most viewed short video among LSPs recently.
Everyone wants to see the Roman "wolves" live.
I want to see if they can shoot and how good they are at it.
September 13th, 19:30 pm!
In the locker room, Mourinho loudly repeated the defensive tactics that needed to be implemented in this game. Although the opponent was a newly promoted team and its strength was very limited, for Mourinho, it was necessary to use this opportunity to gradually make up for the team's defensive loopholes through actual combat drills.
Sure enough, when the starting lineup was announced, Pellegrini and Zaniolo were both placed on the bench, and Mancini was only allowed to play because he had to practice the three-center-back tactics.
On the forward line, Cesco partnered with Abraham, and it was also his debut for Roma!
And because of his hard training during this period, Mourinho also privately promised Wu Lei that as long as there is a chance in this game, he will definitely be allowed to come on as a substitute.
The two midfielders are Veretout and Mkhitaryan.
The right wingback Karsdorp and the left wingback were replaced by young player Zalewski.
The single defensive midfielder is Cristante.
As both teams lined up to take to the field, fans of the home team Salernitana were surprised to find that the three parties involved in the scandal were not on the field, and the booing became even louder.
There were also male fans who took off their shirts, wore women's underwear, and held up signs that read "Zaniolo, take me away, I don't want money" to humiliate the person involved.
The director's camera naturally frequently swept towards Roma's bench.
In addition, a young fan sitting behind the Roma bench also held up a sign that read "Chen Xiaoliang, I heard that you are the second Gattuso, so you should transfer to Salernitana."
Chen Xiaoliang didn't know why he wrote this at first, but later he learned from Mourinho's other confidant, analyst Michele Salzarullo, that Gattuso came to Salernitana after leaving Glasgow Rangers. Although he failed to help the team stay in Serie A, his performance impressed AC Milan, and thus began the legendary career of the Red and Black Butcher.
Chen Xiaoliang went over and signed an autograph for the young player. Although he was a fan of the home team, the two teams did not have any grudges or direct competition, so his action still brought him a wave of applause.
After the game started, Roma seemed to have transformed into Barcelona, and unprecedentedly controlled nearly 80% of the ball possession away from home, but Mourinho's hair was still as thick as before.
However, the Roma players, who were used to defensive counterattacks, once again encountered the big problem of how to break the iron bucket defense.
The local match commentator even joked that Salernitana head coach David Nicola was using Mourinho's method to fight Mourinho.
Coincidentally, the opposing goalkeeper that Cesco faced in his debut in this game was the 32-year-old Vid Belec, the goalkeeper of the Slovenian national team.
This guy also became the busiest person in the first half.
In the second minute of the game, Zalewski received a cross from Mkhitaryan on the left and shot hard, but the ball was saved by Ved Beleć.
Then in the 3rd minute, Veretout took a corner kick and there was a melee in the small penalty area. Abraham was knocked down in the header, but the referee did not make any penalty.
In the 9th minute, Veretout took a corner kick from the left side, and Mancini fell while competing for the header at the back post. The referee determined that it was a dive and gave the Roma vice-captain a yellow card.
Mancini, who had been tracked by the media and had planned to go to a nightclub with El Shaarawy and others to have fun that day, was warmly greeted by all the Salernitana fans!
"Gianluca, the scumbag of Rome!"
"Gianluca, the wimp being ridden by Immobile!"
"Gianluca, you are such a wimp that you went home without even taking off your pants!"
In short, the fans of the home team are determined to not tolerate the dirty tricks of these guys today.
Fortunately, in the distant Red Country, it was already 3 a.m., and the fans in the live broadcast room could not understand the polite expressions spoken in Italian. Even if there were curious fans asking in the barrage, fans who could understand Italian did not dare to answer with a direct translation, for fear that the screen would go black and they would be banned for ten days or half a month.
Under such stimulation, Mancini was naturally holding back his anger. He wanted to slap the fans who booed him on the field with his actions, and also wanted to consolidate his position in the team with excellent performance.
In the 15th minute, as a central defender, he made a forward move and got the ball in front of the penalty area. After a slight adjustment, he took a low shot. The ball was blocked and went to the middle of the penalty area. Abraham took the opportunity to shoot high.
The opponent's goalkeeper Ved Bellec immediately threw the ball quickly, and the left winger Joel Obi took advantage of the fact that the Roma players had not returned to defense and ran all the way until Zalewski was forced to commit a tactical foul.
Mancini's attacking behavior just now not only did not receive praise from Mourinho, but he was also criticized by him. Naturally, the yellow card that Zalewski received was also counted on him.
Salernitana got a rare free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area. No. 4 center back Jaroshchinski took the penalty and passed the ball into the penalty area. Left back Rugri headed the ball high.
All the fans in the stadium were so sad!
Mourinho couldn't help but complain about Joao. He was really dissatisfied with the performance of the team's defense!
When playing against such a weak team, the opponent gave us a yellow card in the first counterattack and also conceded a threatening free kick.
However, Mancini still wanted to prove himself. In the 20th minute, Roma created continuous dangerous situations in the opponent's penalty area through free kicks. Sesco jumped high and overpowered the opponent's central defender to head the ball in the middle of the penalty area. After the ball was blocked, Mancini followed up with a header from the left side of the penalty area, but the ball was lifted over the crossbar by goalkeeper Wade Bellecchi.
In the 32nd minute, Mkhitaryan dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area, then made a straight pass to the right. Karsdorp followed up and made a cross from the right side of the penalty area. Abraham turned his back and headed the ball, but the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar!
This ball was really just a little bit off!
Chen Xiaoliang couldn't help but feel sorry for the situation on the bench. But he knew that if Karsdorp had passed the ball a little lighter, Abraham's header would have definitely gone in!
However, compared to Mancini, Ibanez, who performed poorly in the first two games of the season, has been much more honest.
In the 34th minute, Salernitana's main striker No. 9 Bonazoli fought with Ibanez in the frontcourt. Bonazoli kicked Ibanez in the face when he hooked his foot and was shown a yellow card by the referee.
Ibanez fell to the ground with a bleeding nose. After simple treatment by the team doctor, Ibanez returned to the game.
This kind of iron-blooded and manly performance was exactly what Mourinho wanted, and he kept applauding Ibanez on the sidelines.
In the 40th minute, Salernitana launched a quick counterattack. Joel Obi dribbled the ball from the left side of the frontcourt and was knocked to the ground by Karsdorp. The referee showed a yellow card to the Roma right-back.
While Mourinho was putting pressure on the referee, he told Joao to let the substitutes warm up.
The first half hasn't even ended yet and both wing-backs have received a yellow card. How are we going to play in the second half?
In the last minute of the first half, Abraham advanced to the right side of the penalty area to press, but Salernitana goalkeeper Ved Bellec quickly rushed out to clear the ball.
His clearance hit Abraham's crotch and then bounced directly out of the penalty area and out of the bottom line!
Abraham fell to the ground in pain, his lower body motionless, his left hand covering the part that was hit, and his right hand constantly slapping the grass!
As the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, Cesco supported Abraham, who was walking with his legs turned inward, and returned to the locker room with everyone else.
Mourinho was furious in the locker room and criticized almost all the players except goalkeeper Patricio and Mkhitaryan, the only player who performed well!
He loudly criticized the team's disorganized offense, with everyone wanting to decide the game with one kick!
They don't pass the ball when they should, and run forward to attack when they should defend. They are just like a group of baseball players who only know how to play amateur games!
He picked up the number plate and began to arrange the substitutions for the second half:
Chen Xiaoliang comes on, replacing Cristante!
Pellegrini came on to replace Karsdorp who had a yellow card, and at the same time moved Mkhitaryan to the right wing-back position!
However, when faced with Zaniolo's expectant eyes, Mourinho once again chose to completely ignore it!
The remaining half of the game woke the players up from their dream.
They understood that if they did not play well in this game, they would face punitive training in the following week.
At the same time, listening to the endless jokes on the field, they were also ready to use offense to fight back against the humiliation of the home team fans!
Abraham rubbed the affected area for a long time in the locker room and finally recovered.
He was also very unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't say it.
Why is he not there when the blame is cast, but has to take the blame when people are scolded?
In the second half, Cesco, who had adapted to the first half, started to perform first!
In the 46th minute, he received a straight pass from Pellegrini in front of the penalty area, dribbled the ball inside with his right foot, and shot directly, but the ball went slightly wide of the post!
This goal also sounded the clarion call for Roma's attack!
In the 48th minute, Zaravsky dribbled the ball forward from the left side of the frontcourt and passed it to the left side of the penalty area while running. Pellegrini moved forward and controlled the ball!
At this time he was very close to the baseline, and the defenders of Salernitana who were chasing back were all in the penalty area marking other Roma players who were preparing to step forward to receive the inverted triangle and score!
Unexpectedly, Pellegrini, who was putting all his effort into it, shot low from a small angle into the far corner in front of the baseline!
The opponent's goalkeeper, Ved Belec, was caught off guard! He was hit by a small goal!
The ball goes in! Roma leads 1-0!
The deadlock was broken for the team at the beginning of the second half. Pellegrini wanted to celebrate passionately to dispel the depression in his heart!
But when he ran to his own bench, a fan from the home team in the stands threw a piece of clothing to him that he was very familiar with and was confident that he could unbutton it with one hand in one second!
Damn it, the star of disaster has descended, it is really a bad omen!
He glanced at Mourinho again and found that the coach had also seen the discarded clothes and was full of anger, so he quickly gave up the idea of celebrating... and returned to his own half in dejection to continue the game...
But the fans of Salernitana were not prepared to let go of Roma's goal scorer.
A sturdy fan pointed at a fanatical old lady fan in front of him and shouted:
"Lorenzo! This belongs to my grandma! I'm giving it to you! Do you like it?!"
The old lady fan waved her hands and spoke to Pellegrini at the same time, but her voice was too soft and no one could hear what she said. Anyway, judging from her expression, she didn't say anything nice.
As a result, the fans in this stand immediately sang:
“The Roma captain loves my grandma!
Captain Rome loves my grandma!
He turned back from the 8th District because of my grandma!
Oh my goodness! He's coming to Salerno to find his true love!
Oh! My grandma! "
This time, even if Mourinho wanted to put psychological pressure on his players with a stern face, he couldn't help laughing when he heard such singing.
He complained to Joao: "The fans here are really fucking talented."
Seeing that his mood had improved, Joao immediately relaxed and started laughing too.
However, even though the home team fans sang more and more happily, the Roma players played more and more easily after breaking the deadlock and finally performed at their expected level.
In the 52nd minute, Abraham made a straight pass from the front of the penalty area. Cesco leaned against the opponent's central defender Jaroshchinski with his back. After attracting the attention of the back line, he stretched out his long legs and passed the ball back to Mkhitaryan at the top of the penalty area.
Mkhitaryan did not stop the ball and passed it directly behind Cesco. Veretout made a low shot after offside and scored, 2-0!
Although they expected the team to lose before the game, the fans of Salernitana still tried their best to cheer for their team.
"Oh! The French! The 16th place in the European Cup! We only saw white on their flag! The red belongs to Switzerland, which defeated them! And the blue only belongs to the final champion~~~~"
The whole audience shouted "Italy!"
As his mood improved, Mourinho continued to joke with Joao:
"If there was a swearing league, this newly promoted team would definitely win the Champions League!"
At this point in the field, Roma not only led by two goals, but also had a possession rate of an astonishing 82%, and was far ahead in the number of shots away from home with a score of 4 to 17.
With Chen Xiaoliang coming on the field, Salernitana's quick counterattack would be disrupted as soon as it passed the center circle.
The home team fans, who had let Chen Xiaoliang off in the first half because of his goodwill autograph, also began to pay attention to him at this time.
After singing the song for Weletu, he started singing to Chen Xiaoliang.
"Oh, boy from the East, you will never be Gattuso because you missed Salernitana, and you will never win Serie A because you are not worthy of Salernitana."
Chen Xiaoliang pretended not to understand and turned around to ask Ibanez what they were singing.
"They are singing that you are not Gattuso's number eight."
After getting to know Chen Xiaoliang, Ibanez learned a few simple Chinese sentences.
Generally speaking, the easiest thing to learn when learning a foreign language is the greetings commonly used by people in that country.
The more "cordially" the greeting is, the faster you learn.
So the last two words Ibanez said just now were in Chinese.
"Cao!"
Chen Xiaoliang cursed half-jokingly.
He is ready to start trying out the results of his training!
In the 54th minute, Nigerian winger Joel Obi, who was very active in this game, made a forward run to the left bottom line of the penalty area and made a back-kick. Salnitana center forward Bonazoli followed up in the middle and was ready to shoot, but was intercepted by Chen Xiaoliang's direct sliding tackle, the kind of tackle that allowed him to control the ball under his feet after the interception.
After getting up, he passed the ball to Mkhitaryan on the right, and then he started at full speed and moved forward to the right!
Mkhitaryan was stunned, he had never seen Chen Xiaoliang's style of play, sprinting along the side, and he didn't know what a defensive midfielder like him was going to do by rushing forward. However, thinking of a previous successful case of a side attack along the middle, he immediately passed the ball back to him.
Facing the young left-back Mateo Ruggeri who was loaned from Atlanta, Chen Xiaoliang started at full speed and passed him cleanly after receiving the ball!
At this moment, everyone in the Roma team was stunned.
Is this Chen Xiaoliang? What does he want to do? When did he become a winger?
Only the newly arrived Cesco was actively moving forward. In his eyes, Chen Xiaoliang's success was what he wanted to replicate in Rome!
He thought that Chen Xiaoliang usually played football like this!
The other players, who were stunned for a moment before reacting, quickly stepped forward to support!
Chen Xiaoliang chased the ball back after he had dribbled it about 10 meters away at the right sideline of the penalty area, then slowed down a little and looked up at the penalty area!
Cesco has arrived!
There are two central defenders beside him!
Abraham has run into the top of the penalty area!
What are you waiting for?
Chen Xiaoliang’s mind suddenly emerged the body posture of Gerrard when he suddenly exerted force with his right foot during the long shot in the previous game!
In an instant, his left hand spread out in the air, drew a semicircle backward, his body leaned slightly to the left, and he made a long pass with the inner instep of his right foot. The ball flew into the penalty area with a strong inward rotation!
Mourinho, who had already returned to the coaching seat because of the two-goal lead, stood up instantly!
Not only that, João next to him also stood up!
Cesco adjusted his steps slightly and jumped high!
The ball seemed to be sucked into his forehead and hit him right on the head!
"Bang!"
Big headbutt!
His Slovenian fellow countryman and senior Ved Belec made a great save!
The ball was headed a little straight, and although it was going very fast, it was still saved by Ved Bellec at the bottom line!
The whole place fell silent!
The Salernitana fans who were so talented just now couldn't sing any songs at this time!
Because they thought Chen Xiaoliang only knew how to defend! They had never arranged a song about his attacking skills beforehand!
Not only that, the Roma players on and off the field were also stunned and looked at Chen Xiaoliang!
"Can taking Siwei Dihuang Pills improve my kicking skills?! But why does it only increase my endurance?! Is the dosage wrong?!"
Ibanez, who asked Chen Xiaoliang for the medicine, couldn't help but think!
This is really inexplicable!
In the last game, this kid made a shocking long-range shot!
In this game, there was another unprecedented precise cross from the wing!
Mourinho walked over to Wu Lei who was preparing to play on the sidelines and asked: "Is this what you practiced after returning home?"
"Um..." Wu Lei was not good at Portuguese and Italian. Facing Mourinho's excited and fast words, he didn't hear clearly what he was saying, but he guessed that he was probably asking him to perform well after he came on the court, so he smiled at Mourinho and nodded!
"Fuck! This guy actually practiced crossing with Wu Lei after returning home?!" Mourinho couldn't help but praise Chen Xiaoliang to Joao.
"Jose, look at his posture, it's the same as the long shot in the last game, it's simply a replica of Gerrard!" Joao was also very excited!
As an assistant coach, he certainly knew the team's lack of crossing ability. How could people not be overjoyed when Chen Xiaoliang suddenly showed such an ability!
"Let's wait and see...what if it's just a guess?" Mourinho tried to calm himself down.
Roma was about to take a corner kick from the right side. Pellegrini, who was originally the first corner kicker, was a little hesitant about whether to take the kick. He looked at Chen Xiaoliang and asked carefully, "How about you go?"
"No, no, no, you go. My job is to stay in the backcourt." After saying that, Chen Xiaoliang walked towards the backcourt.
