After the score balance was broken, the pace on the field became slower.
Juventus was like an old boxer, facing Roma's rain of jabs and swings, struggling and parrying repeatedly. No matter how his ribs were hit, he did not expose his front, and kept his fists pressed tightly against his face to protect his weak points.
The Roma players attacked more and more anxiously, always wanting to break through Juventus' defense with a through ball or a cross, and then shoot to equalize the score.
But they didn't dare to press forward in a big way because they were still frightened by the goal they lost just now.
It seems that the veteran boxer on the opposite side is always getting beaten, but once he finds the right opportunity to fight back and gets hit by another old punch from him, he might be declared a KO in this match.
However, after Rome launched its first attack, it was hit first.
In the 21st minute, Karsdorp made a cross from the right directly to Juventus goalkeeper Szczesny.
But the referee blew the whistle and stopped the game.
It turned out that on the left, Zaniolo was sitting on the grass.
Without any confrontation, he found pain in his left knee after turning and accelerating.
Having undergone surgery to repair ruptured cruciate ligaments in both legs, he naturally did not dare to move again. The Roma team doctor quickly came on the field and initially determined that it was only a sprained knee.
But to be on the safe side, especially to protect his already fragile knees, he was allowed to lie on a stretcher and taken directly to the hospital in an ambulance for an MRI examination.
The whole process lasted for 5 minutes, because even the referee on duty knew what had happened to Zaniolo's two knees.
The loss of a starting player before the game was even started made Mourinho, who was still in the stands and still hesitant, completely determined.
Joao immediately followed the plan prepared in advance and let Cesco, who was originally scheduled to play in the second half, replace Zaniolo and Abraham became the man cruising behind him.
Well, behind every successful man, there is another man.
Abraham, who did not have to fight with the 71-year-old central defender combination of Xuanming Erlao, instead gained more space.
In the 31st minute, Abraham received a pass from Binya on the left, cut inside and shook off Danilo, and faced Bentancur who came to defend, and forced a shot from 30 meters away from the goal outside the penalty area!
However, the speed of the ball was average and was easily caught by Szczesny.
Juventus, who had only two shots in the entire 31 minutes, began to look for offensive opportunities.
The first is their most relied upon wing explosive point - Cuadrado.
This Colombian winger is someone that Mourinho and his fans don't want to recall too much.
The labels that Mourinho is not a talent scout and cannot train young people are related to Cuadrado.
Cuadrado, who made his name in Independiente Medellin in the Colombian League, first stopped in Serie A when he came to Europe. In July 2009, he joined Udinese and signed a five-year contract.
But the Colombian had not yet fully adapted to European football and was loaned to Lecce for a year during the 2011-12 season.
In the 2012-13 season, Cuadrado was loaned to Fiorentina again. Just when the media thought that he had been abandoned by Udinese and was about to fail in Italy, this extremely fast winger began to shine like a diamond in Florence.
In his three seasons with the Fiorentina, he became the team's most relied-upon attacking point from the wing. His explosiveness and speed, which were among the best in Serie A, also made him the league's dribbling king.
Mourinho, who took charge of Chelsea for the second time, took a fancy to him.
Mourinho's love for dark and tough players is well known. In the teams he later took charge of, he has been consciously or unconsciously copying the configuration of Chelsea's first period.
They wanted to use Costa to copy Drogba, and later even directly recalled Drogba who had already transferred away from the team;
Want to use Willian and Hazard to replicate Duff and Robben's flying on the wing;
He was very interested in Serie A and took a fancy to Cuadrado at this time. He brought him to Stamford Bridge for a transfer fee of 23.3 million pounds, which was the highest transfer fee in the winter window that year.
As a price, he made Salah, who later won the Premier League Golden Boot, the exchange price for the deal and loaned him to Fiorentina for a season.
However, Cuadrado did not get too many opportunities at Chelsea, and Mourinho did not even give him enough patience. After only half a season, he loaned him to Juventus. The Colombian returned to Italy before he was familiar with the streets of London.
These two Chelsea players actually met in Serie A.
Salah, who was on loan to Fiorentina, scored two goals in one match, ending Juventus' 47-game unbeaten streak at home.
Fate is so coincidental and intertwined.
Cuadrado of Fiorentina went to Chelsea, was loaned to Juventus, and then bought out by Juventus.
Chelsea's Salah was loaned to Florence, then to Roma, and then bought out by Roma.
Mourinho never expected that these two players who failed under him would eventually become famous in Serie A. Salah helped Roma return to second place in the league in the 2016-17 season, and was then signed back to the Premier League by Liverpool, starting his journey to superstardom.
Cuadrado is getting better and better in Juventus. Before Ronaldo arrived, he wore the team's No. 7 jersey and helped Juventus achieve five consecutive Serie A titles, three Italian Cup titles, and reached the Champions League final once.
The media and fans who question Mourinho can't help but ask, why can players who are not good under him shine when they go to other teams?
Is it that the players are not good enough, or is it that his vision is not good enough?
There is no "if" in fate, and history cannot be repeated, but the Portuguese madman will not allow himself to suffer losses from the same person twice!
Behind him was doubt, and in front of Cuadrado was Chen Xiaoliang!
Facing Cuadrado's dribbling forward, Abraham did not make any response at all. He was willing but not strong enough. He had just finished shooting and had no time to run back.
Viña took a few steps forward and moved his body sideways, but did not rush to grab the ball. He always kept a certain distance from Cuadrado to prevent him from suddenly accelerating and passing him.
Chen Xiaoliang is supporting in the middle, and once Cuadrado cuts inside, he will enter his defensive area.
Just at the moment of close combat, Chiesa appeared again.
He retreated from the forward line again and prepared to ask for the ball three meters away from Chen Xiaoliang.
Chen Xiaoliang took a small step forward.
He wanted to keep Chiesa at a closer distance from him so that his marking ability could help him sense the direction of Chiesa's next run.
Cuadrado took a step forward and Binya immediately took a step back!
Cuadrado took another step forward and Binya took another step back!
Cuadrado chose to cut inside for the third time, and Viña moved forward and stuck to him. At that moment, the Colombian winger passed the ball to Chiesa!
This was the first time that the Italian genius received the ball and attacked in front of Chen Xiaoliang!
Chiesa did not hold the ball, but passed it back with the outside of his foot to Cuadrado who made a run without the ball right after passing the ball!
Binya made the same mistake that many defenders make. The moment the defensive opponent passed the ball, he looked at the ball instead of the player.
It only took this moment for Cuadrado to burst out with an explosive acceleration without the ball and completely get rid of him!
Facing the ball passed back, Cuadrado easily took the ball off the ground and kicked a cross!
After suffering the loss of the first goal, Mkhitaryan on the right had retreated to help Karsdorp defend the right, while Veretout also retreated to the penalty area line.
However, the speed and angle of this cross were not directed towards the penalty area!
After Chiesa made a lob pass with the outside of his foot, he did the same thing as Cuadrado and ran forward at an accelerated speed!
This is a back-and-forth two-on-two combination!
But at the moment when Chiesa started, Chen Xiaoliang also started!
He saw the path Chiesa was going to take!
The two have almost the same burst acceleration ability, but Chiesa's peak speed is obviously higher!
Chen Xiaoliang turned around and chased him, knowing that he was going to suffer a loss, he immediately leaned on him!
Chiesa waved his hand and tried to push Chen Xiaoliang away!
The ball flew over, Chiesa stepped well with his left foot and prepared to take the ball. At this time, the two had already run into the penalty area line!
If he were to control the ball in the penalty area, it would be difficult for him to make a tackle given his height and speed.
Chen Xiaoliang jumped with all his might!
The scalp rubbed against the ball!
Flying towards the goal!
Patricio jumped high and took it steadily!
Because Chiesa was in close contact with Chen Xiaoliang, he was dragged down after Chen Xiaoliang jumped, lost his balance and fell. When he got up, he saw that the referee did not say anything, and did not go up to argue, but applauded Cuadrado and ran back.
The two people who stood still looked at each other.
One thought: This guy may be a little short, but he's really fast! He can change direction very quickly! He's not weak in confrontation either!
Another thought: This guy doesn't look very strong, but he's really strong! He's not slow at all! And he can jump really high!
Both of them were thinking about how to deal with each other in the future.
However, what surprised Chiesa was not just Chen Xiaoliang's physical fitness.
In the 37th minute, after Bernardeschi's cross was headed out by Mancini, Roma launched a counterattack!
Veretout controlled the ball and made a long diagonal pass to Abraham. Abraham dribbled the ball to the middle, luring Bentancur away, then turned around and passed the ball to Binya who was making a high-speed run on the left!
After receiving the ball, Vina took a few steps, with Danilo in front and Cuadrado behind!
Juventus retreated much faster than they advanced!
Seeing that he was about to be double-teamed, Binya knew that he did not have the abnormal speed of Cuadrado, so he passed the ball back to Abraham!
The moment Abraham received the ball, Bentancur followed closely before he started!
At this time, it was Chen Xiaoliang's turn to spread his hands and ask for the ball.
Abraham immediately pushed the ball over!
Chiesa thought Chen Xiaoliang was going to pass the ball back, blocking the passing route between him and Ibanez.
However, before the ball reached Chen Xiaoliang's feet, Cesco, who was at the front, started to move!
Chen Xiaoliang didn't stop the ball and passed it directly with his right foot!
Huang Jianxiang: "This was the first time that Xiaoliang tried to cross the ball from the side in this game! The distance was about 45 meters!"
Xu Yang: "He still chose to cross with his right foot on the left side, and it wasn't the outside of his foot!"
Huang Jianxiang: "Let's see! Is this a hanging door?!"
Szczesny on the field saw the long pass coming and saw Cesco starting, and wanted to attack, but the trajectory of the ball seemed to be flying towards the goal, so he immediately retracted his leg that had just stepped out!
Huang Jianxiang: "The ball flew past the highest point and fell rapidly!"
"Cesco counter-runs! Chiellini doesn't have time to turn around!"
"Cesco jumped high! He glided in the air for a while and landed his head on the ball!"
"Szczesny blocks the near corner and the ball goes over his head!"
Xu Yang: “Ah!”
Sun Jihai: "What a pity for this ball!"
Huang Jianxiang: "It was Bonucci! The veteran headed the ball out on the goal line! Roma's players found the referee, but the referee said the ball didn't go in!"
Sun Jihai: "Goal-line technology has become popular since 2013, mainly because of the huge influence of Lampard's goal against Germany in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Later, FIFA was forced to add goal-line referees, but the effect was not good and misjudgments still occurred. Finally, after overcoming numerous obstacles, the goal-line technology was applied.
Now, whenever the ball crosses the goal line during a match, the referee’s wristband will vibrate.”
Xu Yang: "Although Xiaoliang passed the ball from the left with his right foot and the ball didn't spin much, he and Cesco were so well matched, one ran a distance to get rid of Chiellini, and the other passed the ball to that position.
But Bonucci's experience saved Juventus."
The Juventus players who survived the disaster immediately returned to defense to prevent Roma from doing anything else on the corner kick.
Allegri signaled on the sidelines, and Chiesa Jr. stood around Chen Xiaoliang who stayed near the center circle.
The Italian genius also realized that the defensive midfielder could not be left alone.
But he really didn't expect that the Red Country midfielder, who seemed a little stiff even when stopping the ball, could make such a sexy cross.
However, almost any opponent who has this question will naturally think that it was the typical British crossing technique that Gerrard taught Chen Xiaoliang during a season at Rangers.
Pellegrini kicks off, at the back post!
Bentancur and Moses Keane are both there!
Manic failed in his bayonet attempt and the ball was headed away by Bentancur!
De Sciglio kicks the ball to Cuadrado!
The Colombians are running again!
Biniya chased desperately!
The more you chase, the farther the distance!
The two are not at the same speed level at all!
Chen Xiaoliang rushed over diagonally!
Although Cuadrado's starting steps are still as graceful as before, he is 33 years old after all, and his maximum speed has declined somewhat compared to his golden age!
But despite this, Chen Xiaoliang, with a speed of 16, ran nearly 20 meters and was still one and a half body lengths away from Cuadrado who was running with the ball!
Locatelli and Chiesa in the middle and Bernardeschi on the left have all joined the team!
Only Karsdorp and Mkhitaryan are defending on the Roma side, and the two center forwards have just participated in the corner attack!
Quadrado glanced at it and was also shocked!
How come this Red Country kid can run so fast!
Before the game, Juventus also conducted sufficient research and preparation against Roma. Allegri repeatedly emphasized not to deliberately transfer the ball to Chen Xiaoliang's defense area. Even if they had to play, they must use more people against fewer people and use passes to make Chen Xiaoliang lose focus and unable to concentrate on one-on-one defense!
Cuadrado’s tactical execution is one of his strengths. When he saw Chen Xiaoliang was about to catch up, he immediately slowed down, dribbled the ball, and prepared to pass it to the middle!
However, maybe it was because he was going too fast, he actually slipped!
Before Chen Xiaoliang even kicked the ball, it inexplicably rolled to his feet!
He looked up and saw that Juventus' frontcourt position was in a mess. Cesco and Abraham were both outside the offside line and could not pass the ball!
Before Cuadrado got up and chased him, he quickly kicked the ball to Veretout in front of him!
This sudden change made the four Juventus players instantly become defensive loopholes!
Veretout dribbled forward, Abraham retreated to ask for the ball, and Veretout passed the ball!
Abraham received the ball and rushed into the penalty area!
Bonucci was guarding in front of him, and Abraham moved his right foot to his left foot and made a change of direction!
Just as his left foot had already slipped out of the shooting space, Danilo, who was rushing over from the side, fell to the ground and tackled the ball!
At the critical moment, Abraham made another header with his left foot!
Danilo kicked Abraham's foot squarely!
“Beep!”
Penalty!
No matter how Danilo shook his finger at the referee to indicate that it was not a foul, the referee stood firmly beside the penalty spot and asked all the players except Szczesny to leave the penalty area!
Cuadrado regretted it very much. His mistake caused the offense and defense to be reversed in an instant, and the good offensive situation turned into a riddled defense!
As the team's first penalty taker, Veretout stepped up.
The last time was in the second round when they tied with Lazio 3-3. He scored a penalty kick, bringing the score back to 3-2 and helping the team see hope of equalizing!
Now, the Frenchman once again shoulders the responsibility of saving the team!
In the stadium, more than 40,000 people's eyes were all focused on the Frenchman wearing the red No. 17 jersey!
Huang Jianxiang: "Weiletu is concentrating on the goal, his eyes are flickering! Get ready for a run-up!"
"Juventus goalkeeper Szczesny swayed left and right a few times! Trying to interfere with the opponent!"
"Veretout! Right-foot shot!"
"Bad angle!"
"The ball was saved by Szczesny!"
"incredible!"
"Pellegrini makes a quick shot!"
"Chiellini won't let him go and sticks to him!"
"The ball went wide! It's out of bounds!"
"Szczesny once again defended Juventus' gate!"
"I wonder if Buffon watched this game! If he did, he would be very pleased!"
Sun Jihai: "This penalty was taken too badly. The speed was not fast and the angle was so straight. The goalkeeper could have saved it by just leaning slightly to the left."
Xu Yang: "Like what netizens said, the goalkeeper who was slow to react to this kind of ball would have jumped on it. It seems that Veretout lacks confidence."
Sun Jihai: "This goal had a huge impact on Roma's morale. They had been attacking for more than 30 minutes, had the upper hand and had more chances, but they just couldn't score. I had this experience when I played football, too. It's easy for players to get more and more angry and their emotions get out of control."
On the field, all Juventus players rushed up and hugged Szczesny!
The fans in the stadium cheered and celebrated wildly!
Especially the Juventus fans around the stands where Mourinho was, even though they were separated by security guards in the aisle, they still shouted insults and ridicules!
For a period of time thereafter, neither side launched any decent offensive play.
On Chen Xiaoliang's side, whether it was Chiesa or Cuadrado, they would look for an open space after receiving the ball. Once there was no space, they would pass the ball safely. Finally, they would advance to a relatively close position, either making a cross at a 45-degree angle or a long pass directly from the middle to the back.
As long as there is no chance, Juventus players will immediately retreat to defend and try their best to avoid Roma's quick counterattack.
Four minutes of added time were added to the first half, mainly to make up for the time Zaniolo spent away from the field due to injury.
Roma played more and more anxiously, especially the offensive players.
In the 48th minute, Chiellini dribbled forward and was about to initiate a backcourt organization. Abraham went up to press, but Chiellini changed direction and dribbled past him.
Abraham actually pulled Chiellini down and took the initiative to apply for a Gold God of War Card.
At this time, Mourinho had already left the stands and went to the locker room to wait for his players.
The halftime whistle blew and the Roma players walked towards the player tunnel looking a little dusty.
Chen Xiaoliang walked up to Weletu and comforted him with a few words.
The French were very pleased, but even so, they still felt uncomfortable.
When people returned to the locker room, they did not wait for Mourinho's storm, but instead gave high praise to the team's performance in the first half.
In terms of offense, he hopes to pass the ball to Cesco more often in the second half and let him serve as a fulcrum in the frontcourt.
If Chiellini follows out, he will use his ability to hold the ball with his back to the goal. If he doesn't follow out, he will pass the ball high. Bentancur and Locatelli cannot compete with Cesco who is 194cm tall and has excellent jumping ability.
As for defense... Mourinho didn't say much, just reminded the two wingers to stay focused. No matter whether Juventus will attack today, in the 442 formation, the flanks must be their main focus!
After instructing the players on how to warm up in the second half, Mourinho had individual conversations with several players.
His goal is very clear and has always been clear, which is to fight for victory with all his strength!
Let the Roma players accumulate confidence through such victories, and the confidence that Roma can also bring down the three giants!
At this time, in Donetsk, Ukraine, although it is only mid-October, the temperature here has dropped below 10 degrees and the cold is gradually coming.
In a high-end hotel, Riise repeated his old trick, but this time the person watching the Roma game with him was a Brazilian - the 22-year-old Dodo, the right back of Shakhtar Donetsk.
As an agent who turned from a player, Riise doesn't like to sit down and talk a lot of numbers and terms with target clients. He is better at getting closer to target clients by chatting about games, football techniques and experiences, including bragging to young players about his experiences as a player.
This tactic was used very successfully on Cesco. Now it depends on whether the Brazilian will fall for it.
In the previous ten days, Pinto invited Riise to the club for negotiations as requested by Mourinho.
In Mourinho's introduction, Riise is a "magic agent" who seems to have a small number of clients, but is quite knowledgeable, has a large amount of player information, especially information on young players, and can come up with surprising ideas.
Although Pinto, who made his debut in Portugal and led the sports team of Benfica Club, not only ensured the team's outstanding performance in Portugal, but also personally managed the sale of Felix to Atletico Madrid for a super-high price of 126 million euros, was well-informed and did not completely believe Mourinho's words, but many of the practices of Riise and his team during Cesco's transfer process did make Pinto's eyes light up.
It turns out that agents can do this.
Therefore, they prefer to believe that Riise selected Sesco at the last minute based on a large number of outstanding young players from various European countries and according to Roma's actual configuration and transfer funds.
It was a quick and decisive move. Not only did the team change, but the agent was also changed. It was a win-win situation for the club, the player and the agent.
How could they know the truth behind it?
This time, Pinto asked Riise to help the team find a right-back. Of course , if there is anyone who can play as a right center back, he can also recommend one.
The requirements are that he should not be over 24 years old, have certain potential, be enterprising, work hard, and not be a pure young player. He should be able to substantially improve the team's defensive capabilities.
The budget is 25 million euros, which can be increased to 35 million euros if it can be paid in two-year installments, and a further 10 million euros if paid in three-year installments.
Reese wrote them down one by one, saying it was a piece of cake, and then he hugged Chen Xiaoliang's thighs when he got home.
However, Mourinho had actually already talked about this with Chen Xiaoliang in private, because the first person who mentioned Cesco to Mourinho was Chen Xiaoliang.
Although he didn't know where Chen Xiaoliang got the information, any player who could gain a foothold in a club in a well-known European league would have his own connections and ways in the circle.
What's more, Chen Xiaoliang eventually became the captain of Rangers, and the players he knew who were connected with Chen Xiaoliang, such as Gerrard, Riise, McAllister, Sun Jihai, etc., were no ordinary people.
It is reasonable to have some news channels and intelligence sources.
But in public, especially with Pinto, Riise still has to come forward.
The reason is very simple. Entrusting an agent to contact players is a routine operation in itself, but entrusting a player to find players, and to cast a wide net, is unreasonable.
A head coach lets his players take the lead in recruiting new players, and they are not old acquaintances or fellow villagers. If this matter gets out, it will not be good for both parties.
Chen Xiaoliang gave Reese a list and asked him to communicate with Pinto.
The first one is Celik from Lille in French Ligue 1. There is not much to say about this guy. Chen Xiaoliang clearly remembers that in the world before he traveled through time , Celik was already a member of Roma.
He was born on February 17, 1997, 23 years old, Turkish, and will take up a non-European quota spot in the club, which costs about 7 million euros. He is good at tackling and marking, has good defensive awareness, and is above average in speed. His other physical qualities are average. He is obviously not as good as Karsdorp in terms of ability to attack, but he is much more reliable in defense.
Moreover, Chen Xiaoliang and Riise guaranteed that this man would describe Mourinho's attention to him as "flattered" and would be very happy to join Roma.
Regarding non-European quotas, if the team really finalizes a new non-EU full-back, it only needs to return the English player Niles on loan from Arsenal before the winter transfer registration deadline.
The mighty Three Cats Empire is no longer a member of the European Union.
The second one is Baku from Wolfsburg, born on April 8, 1998, 23 years old, with dual citizenship of Germany and Togo. He does not occupy the club's non-EU quota and can basically be acquired for 25 million euros.
Like most players of African descent, Baku has excellent physical fitness and very good endurance. Although his defensive skills are not as good as Celik, he is very dedicated to his work, trains hard, has strong tactical execution, and pays great attention to teamwork with his teammates.
When one person cannot defend the opponent alone, he can also better cooperate with his teammates to provide assisting defense.
The downside is that it's a bit expensive...
The third one is Dodo of Shakhtar Donetsk, born on November 17, 1998, 22 years old, Brazilian, who needs to occupy the club's non-EU quota.
An offer of 14 million euros would be enough to make Shakhtar Donetsk agree. After all, Donetsk and even Ukraine are in a strange atmosphere at this time, although no one can tell why and what will happen.
As a Brazilian, Duoduo has very good physical fitness, a strong sense of assists, strong plasticity, and good defense. He is a relatively versatile full-back.
But Chen Xiaoliang told Riise that if he did not act in advance, Fiorentina would sign Duoduo after the end of this season.
Reese was confused and asked Chen Xiaoliang how he knew that.
Chen Xiaoliang told Reese that he had an information network "all over Europe and even the world."
If he wants to buy players outside Europe in the future, he can also search and list them.
Of course, Chen Xiaoliang would never tell Riise that he actually has a football manager system... and it came from the future...
But Reese had no idea. He thought about it over and over again, and finally it dawned on him!
It must be the Godfather and Boss Wu!
The Godfather controls Italy, and his accomplices are spread all over the world! Moreover, people like them are involved in both the underworld and the white world.
The Godfather himself said that he is a veteran football fan and has even seen Maradona, so what's the big deal about finding a young player?
Boss Wu is one of the top 100 richest men in the world on the "Wealthy Immortal List". His shipping business is all over the world. He helped Roma owner Dan Friedkin buy the remaining shares from the open market at a 20% premium. I think he must have a close connection with the football circle...
One of them left a mysterious phone number, and the other promised Chen Xiaoliang that he could contact him anytime if he needed any brand or sponsorship... Especially Boss Wu's daughter was still deeply in love with Chen Xiaoliang... Who knows if the big boss would give up the marriage and let his daughter marry the new prince of Rome...
Incredible! Incredible!
This is no longer a cash cow!
This is no longer a gold mine!
This is simply the God of Wealth from heaven coming to earth!
When Reese thought of this, he hugged Chen Xiaoliang's thighs even tighter...
But Chen Xiaoliang’s recommendations are not over yet.
Although Mourinho wanted a right-back, he specifically recommended this person: Feyenoord's Malasia.
Born on August 17, 1999, 22 years old, Dutch, does not occupy the club's non-EU quota, 14 million euros can definitely be obtained, whether in the winter window or at the end of the season, Feyenoord is willing to consider it. If he is willing to sign a secondary transfer sharing clause, the transfer will be smoother.
He has good stamina, good speed, and average physical fitness. He is good in everything except heading.
He has excellent intercepting ability, good one-on-one close defense, a very high level of work commitment, and most importantly, a very aggressive style of play, where he tackles and bumps when necessary, without any ambiguity. He is definitely the type that Mourinho likes!
Reese wrote them down one by one, but after thinking about it, he asked Chen Xiaoliang if there was anything cheaper, more affordable and more practical.
Chen Xiaoliang told him that there is a Gabriel Zappa in Cagliari, who was born on December 22, 1999, an Italian who not only has an EU household registration but can also provide youth training in Italy.
If we offer Cagliari a one-time payment of 7 million euros in the morning, not only will they agree, they will also urge Zappa to pack his bags that afternoon and buy a plane ticket to Rome that evening.
If you hesitate, they will definitely say that they can pay you over two years, or come to Rome for free to play a friendly match for you.
But how can cheap things be good?
After following Chen Xiaoliang to Rome, Riise started watching Serie A again after not watching it for many years. Cagliari's performance this year was poor, and he also watched some of Zappa's performances...
It's just a younger version of Karsdorp...
The two discussed the list and agreed that this time they would still follow Cesco's model, that is, the people had to be signed and the agent's agency rights had to be signed as well.
The penalty for changing the agent will be paid with Chen Xiaoliang’s savings.
After Cesco came to Rome, his performance has been getting better and better recently. His value has increased by 3 million compared to the transfer price and has reached 15 million euros.
Riise also helped him get some advertising sponsorships in Slovenia, which was considered a small profit.
This model has proven to be feasible and can continue to bring profits to both of them!
Riise took this list and communicated with Mourinho and Pinto for a few days, and finally listed the priorities based on tactical needs and actual financial conditions.
Pinto commissioned Reese, who "knew the details", to fly to various countries as soon as possible to hold talks with the targets.
But obviously, this time is much more difficult than last time.
The last time I watched a game with Cesco was the city derby against Lazio.
The thrilling last-gasp equalizer made it hard for Cesco to resist Mourinho's team and the temptation to grow as fast as Chen Xiaoliang.
But today's game...how to say it?
There are twists and turns, but there seems to be no passion.
One wanted to attack but couldn't, and the other didn't fight back when he got hit...
If you don’t know, who would believe that this is a game against a top team…
Compared to the slightly shy Cesco, Duoduo, who came from Brazil, is much more cheerful.
After all, Samba is in my blood.
Naturally, this kind of scene could not attract him.
Although Mourinho and Roma are very attractive to him, his situation is different from Cesco's.
He is already 22 years old and has firmly established himself as a starter in Donetsk. He has experience in participating in European competitions and has attracted the attention of many teams. He is a man who has seen the world.
At this moment, his current agent is negotiating a transfer with Fiorentina.
This is also the reason why Riise chose Donetsk as his first stop - if he arrived too late he wouldn't even be able to have a bowl of soup.
Compared to Roma's winter transfer, Shakhtar Donetsk is more accepting of Fiorentina's end-of-season transfer, so that they don't have to find someone to replace Dodo in the short winter window.
Moreover, Duoduo’s agent is the famous Bertolucci Sports Group, not the small Slovenian agent team of Cesco.
The business of the Bertolucci Sports Group is to send Brazilians to Europe.
The most similar case is the old generation of Brazilian gang members of Shakhtar Donetsk - Douglas Costa and William.
The most classic case is a group of Brazilian players from Chelsea and Tottenham, all of whom came from their operations - Alex, Ramires, Oscar, William, David Luiz, Gomez, Sandro, Paulinho.
Some of these names are also familiar to Red Country fans and have become celebrities in the Red Super League.
At the moment they have a total of 63 agent players, 52 of whom are in the top leagues of various countries, with a total value of 533 million euros.
This is not an easy target for Riise.
So even though he kept talking and bragging, he was praying from the bottom of his heart that Roma could do something good in the second half.
Back at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, players from both teams entered the field again!
Neither team made any personnel adjustments, and it seems like everything is moving forward in the same old way!
However, after the opening whistle of the second half, Juventus obviously changed!
The forwards began to press for the ball crossing the center line, the midfielders ran more, and the back line pressed forward even more!
Especially the two wingers, just as Mourinho expected, began to press forward frequently!
In the 48th minute, De Sciglio cooperated with Locatelli on the left and got the ball, still making a cross at a 45-degree angle.
In order to prevent De Sciglio from breaking through, Veretout went forward to assist in defense, resulting in Bernardeschi being left open!
De Sciglio's cross found him, but it was a little short!
Bernardeschi, who was unguarded, actually performed a beautiful overhead kick!
The force was strong enough, but the angle was too straight, and Patricio still lost the ball because it was moving too fast!
Moses Keane, whose reaction was obviously faster than Mancini, immediately rushed forward to take a supplementary shot!
Patricio threw his whole body forward to block it!
Moses Keane hit the ball too hard and it flew away!
All the Juventus fans in the stadium lamented and lamented!
Mourinho on the Roma bench and in the stands broke out in a cold sweat!
This damn old woman seems like she is here to scam you. It would be fine if she doesn’t attack you, but once she does, she is determined to take your life!
Once again, Karsdorp almost lost the ball because he did not step forward to block and allowed De Sciglio to pass the ball.
After Patricio kicked the ball to him, he still made an assist to save his face!
Everything was just like a replica of the first half. De Sciglio didn't say a word and made a flying tackle, leaving his body in the same place again.
This time, the referee took out a yellow card, but De Sciglio looked indifferent and gave Karsdorp lying on the ground a mocking look.
It looks exactly like an adult beating a child!
After being tackled, Karsdorp got up and rubbed his sore butt repeatedly.
But before his pain subsided, De Sciglio stabbed him in the heart again!
In the 51st minute, Bernardeschi rushed all the way and passed the ball to De Sciglio who cut inside!
This time Karsdorp chose to get close to the opponent!
But the Italian left-back made a wonderful chest stop and passed the ball directly to Karsdorp in the penalty area!
Then a shot at a small angle!
Unfortunately, the ball was shot in a semi-air position, the angle was not accurate, and it went slightly off the post!
Huang Jianxiang: "Just 6 minutes into the second half, Juventus' offensive machine seemed to be in full swing, with two consecutive extremely threatening attacks! Both times almost killed the game! It seems that Allegri adjusted his tactics in the midfield, changing the idea of ​​retreating and counterattacking in the first half, and pressed forward in the second half."
Xu Yang: "Indeed, both goals took advantage of Roma's defensive loopholes on the right. Karsdorp seemed to be completely defeated in the one-on-one attack and defense with De Sciglio. Just now, Binya on the left was also at a disadvantage against Cuadrado.
If Roma doesn’t solve the wing defense, it will be difficult for them to achieve anything.”
Sun Jihai: "The key is that De Sciglio is not a very strong player. I remember that Karsdorp was confused by Son Heung-min in the Europa League. I feel that this player is not very good at defense."
Huang Jianxiang: "Ji Hai was also a full-back before, what do you think of Karsdorp?"
Sun Jihai: "He is actually a good player, he can run very fast, he has good stamina and he is very motivated, but he is a little reckless, like I said just now, he doesn't seem to be able to defend.
If the opponent changes direction or feints slightly, you can be easily deceived.
Or he would simply create space to prevent you from breaking through and let you pass the ball. However, it has happened several times today that he found that De Sciglio's crosses were very good and threatening, so he changed to stealing the ball. But as soon as he went to steal the ball, he would be shaken again.
He might be better off playing as a right midfielder where there is less defensive pressure."
Xu Yang: "Juventus is now focusing on the left side and attacking Karsdorp. Cuadrado and Chiesa on the right side have basically been feinting and restraining Xiao Liang. If this continues, Roma will be in trouble."
Huang Jianxiang: "So you think Roma needs to improve their defense in the winter?"
Sun and Xu: "Yes, it is necessary."
Riise is busy with the transfer in the luxury suite of a Donetsk hotel, and Agnelli, chairman of Juventus club, is also worried about the transfer in the luxury box of the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
Allegri told him clearly that he must introduce a strong center forward to solve the problem of the team's weak offensive power after Ronaldo left!
And like Mourinho, Allegri hopes that the club can sign someone in the winter window!
The name he gave was none other than Fiorentina's main striker Vlahovic!
The Serbian, who has scored 7 goals in 7 league games this season, is indeed a new striker in Serie A.
The Juventus transfer team tentatively contacted Fiorentina, and the other side directly made a huge offer of 80 million euros!
This amount of money is a huge sum for any club, even a wealthy one.
There are less than two months left until the winter transfer window, and Agnelli doesn't have much time left.
But he still hesitated.
But in the rest of the game, the performances of Chen Xiaoliang and Cesco finally made Agnelli make up his mind!
Must buy Vlahovic!
