Napoli took advantage of the victory, their morale became higher and their attack became more fierce!
In the 60th minute, Mourinho made the first substitution, replacing Mkhitaryan with Karsdorp.
Mkhitaryan did not perform well in the attack in this game, but instead concentrating all his energy on fighting with Insigne and Rui.
There were more than 30 minutes left in the game, and it was time for Karsdorp to go up and run.
Seeing that Roma was becoming more and more passive, the fans in the Penguin Live Room also began to complain.
After all, they all came to see Chen Xiaoliang. Even Mourinho’s haters didn’t want Chen Xiaoliang to lose.
[Playing in Naples is like this, if you play in the Champions League in the future, you will definitely be kicked out of SHI]
[Even with this, you still want to play in the Champions League? Juventus just had a bad start, but if they start to make a comeback, Roma won’t be able to keep their top four position.]
[Chen Xiaoliang should leave as soon as possible. It is really frustrating to play under Mourinho]
【Go? Where to?】
[Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, which one doesn't need a strong waist? The Premier League's football looks exciting]
[Why go to the Premier League? Go to Real Madrid, the best club. Fat Tiger is 30 years old. Chen Xiaoliang can take over the ceremonial midfield after playing for a few years.]
[Everyone is dreaming. Unless the price is sky-high, Roma will definitely not let him go. But who would pay more than 100 million for a defensive midfielder without EU citizenship?]
…
Looking at the discussion in the barrage, Shi Qingsheng and Liu Yue were both surprised and helpless.
Just over two months ago, when Chen Xiaoliang first arrived in Rome, the fans were all looking forward to it, believing that Chen Xiaoliang could bring out his greatest strengths in Mourinho's tactics .
Unexpectedly, within just a few days, people's attitude changed.
Today's football world is becoming more and more utilitarian and impetuous.
I wish the coach would be fired if they lose three games, and the players would sit on the bench if they make one or two mistakes.
Especially the five major leagues, which are full of jokes made up by toilet newspapers, have also played a role in adding fuel to the flames and exacerbating the conflict.
The development of the Internet has led to these jokes being omnipresent and spreading quickly, and the pressure on coaches and players has been multiplied.
However, although Napoli has a huge advantage on the field and their performance this season is indeed outstanding, objectively speaking, they still have a long way to go to become a super strong team.
The last time they won the Serie A title was in 1990, 31 years ago. The team's performance has been up and down. After returning to Serie A in 2007, they slowly moved to the top of the standings and became a team with combat effectiveness in the domestic league.
However, judging from the unexpected comments from the media that their eight-game winning streak this season has brought, it shows that no one thinks they have the strength to win the league.
Even though they are getting closer, there is still some gap compared to the two Milan giants.
So after equalizing the score, Spalletti did not relax.
He continued to remind the players on the sidelines that they still had to play according to the pre-match arrangements.
Don't relax your close marking of Cesco for even a moment!
When Roma's two wingers pressed forward, Napoli's four defenders fell back and were ready to retreat to defend at any time.
In the frontcourt, Ruiz made skillful short passes with the two wingers, constantly shifting the focus of Roma's defense.
The pass seems freehand, but the route is clear and accurate, and the strength is just right!
He is an important contributor to Napoli's eight consecutive wins this season.
Moreover, his increasingly mature and stable performance has attracted the attention of Paris Saint-Germain!
Ruiz has already told the media that "a team like Paris Saint-Germain cannot be rejected", not only because of the opportunity to join a top club, but also because he can become teammates with Messi!
This is an opportunity that many professional players dream of!
The ball was pushed back to the front of the penalty area and Roma's defense tightened again.
Pellegrini retreated, and together with Veretout, the double-team blocked Ruiz's passing space on both sides in an instant.
This does not include Chen Xiaoliang who is defending the center.
Seeing that Ruiz was still in control of the ball, Pellegrini stretched out his long legs and swept them towards Ruiz's feet.
Ruiz tried to pass the ball, but Weller couldn't shake it off, like wet hands covered in flour.
At this time, Chen Xiaoliang also pounced over!
Even if Ruiz is being watched by Paris Saint-Germain, he knows his own weight.
Not to mention him, even for Xavi and Iniesta, it would not be easy to control the ball and not lose it in such a three-person double team.
He had no choice but to pull the ball back, take a few steps back, and pass it to Anguisa who was waiting behind him, allowing his teammates to organize the attack.
This was also a forced choice, and in fact it showed that this dribbling was a wrong choice.
But Rome had no intention of giving up.
Veretout continued to pester Ruiz, and Pellegrini pounced on Anguiza again.
Seeing that the Cameroonian midfielder on the opposite side received the ball hastily, the Roma captain fell to the ground and tackled without saying a word!
The sudden sliding tackle caught Anguisa off guard!
But before the game, Joao actually introduced the characteristics of this Cameroon international. In addition to his outstanding physical fitness, his ball control is not only outstanding among defensive midfielders, but also extremely good in the entire midfield!
Just when Pellegrini's toes were about to touch the ball, Anguiza lightly lifted his toes and jumped forward, avoiding the interception and accelerating at the same time.
At this time, Ruiz had already run to the left, creating space.
Outside the penalty area, only Chen Xiaoliang was left in front of Anguisa.
This was the first time the two defensive midfielders met at close range in this game.
Anguissa seemed very confident in his dribbling and wanted to move to the penalty area to the right.
Chen Xiaoliang did not put it on blindly, but stuck to it.
Ever since he unlocked the skill [Excellent Close Defense], when facing an opponent he is unfamiliar with, unsure of, or not in an emergency, he tends to get close to the opponent first to see how the opponent reacts, to test the quality, and then choose the subsequent defensive action.
The two men collided with each other in an instant, and Anguisa immediately understood why the boy from the Red Country in front of him was worth 41 million euros, while his own value was only 30 million euros.
It didn't move!
He was mentally prepared and made some moves on purpose!
Both of them staggered, and although Anguisa, who took the initiative to exert force, had a slight advantage, he knew that Chen Xiaoliang's physique was almost as strong as his.
It's even better in burst and flexibility!
A 25-year-old African player actually fought a 17-year-old boy from the Red Country and ended up in a tie...
Doesn’t this mean that I have been malnourished and not developed well since childhood?
Anguisa did not dare to continue fighting and was ready to pass the ball to Di Lorenzo on the right after he stood firm.
But!
A force of resistance surged towards him from Chen Xiaoliang!
He was the one who exerted force in the previous round, and this round it is Chen Xiaoliang's turn to exert force!
It's not the kind of explosive, brute-force collision, but the kind that just as you lift your foot to take a step, he pushes you, making you lose your balance, forcing you to put your foot down and stand quickly, making it impossible for you to control the ball properly!
Not to mention passing the ball, the ball almost fell!
Anguisa stepped on the ball and pulled it, then stretched out his hand to block Chen Xiaoliang, and gathered strength in his body to push back the next time Chen Xiaoliang pushed him.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaoliang didn't use much strength this time! Instead, he missed!
His feet stumbled again!
This time, Chen Xiaoliang quickly stretched out his leg and snatched the ball, then immediately dribbled forward and accelerated!
However, before he took two steps, his jersey was grabbed by Anguisara behind him!
“Beep!”
The referee blew the whistle and gave Anguisa a yellow card for a deliberate foul.
Chen Xiaoliang quickly arranged the ball and wanted to take a free kick!
“Beep, beep, beep!”
The referee blew the whistle continuously!
What's going on? Can't send it quickly?
Chen Xiaoliang looked at the referee and then at his teammates in confusion.
He found that his teammates were laughing and seemed to want to say something to him, but he couldn't hear them because they were too far away.
"The back of your jersey is torn, you need to change it!" The referee also told him the truth with a smile on his face.
Chen Xiaoliang looked back.
Oh shit!
This African black guy tore the back of his jersey and shorts!
The tight underwear is exposed!
At this time, the director actually gave a close-up!
Chen Xiaoliang’s entire butt and back are on the big screen!
All the fans in the stadium laughed!
Maybe they themselves felt that the smile was a bit vulgar, and after a few seconds they applauded Chen Xiaoliang again!
Many female fans stared at the close-up on the big screen while taking out their mobile phones to take pictures!
Just like that, under the gaze of countless tens of thousands of people at the scene and in front of the screen, Chen Xiaoliang quickly ran to the sidelines, where the staff had already taken out a new jersey and was waiting for him.
But... forget it, it's all exposed by the camera, so I won't hide it anymore...
He immediately changed into his jersey and pants!
Barrage:
[Wow, the six-pack abs are clearly visible! It's obvious that he never slacks off during his training! ]
[Boiled Chicken: Leave us a way to survive]
[The Football Association issued a statement the next day, saying that Chen Xiaoliang's good health was due to his diet of sea cucumbers designated by the Football Association]
[It turns out Chen Xiaoliang likes black]
【Gift Crab! 】
【You found the highlight! 】
[The above poster, how do you know he likes it? What if he didn’t buy it?]
[Yes, mine was bought by my wife]
…
The topic instantly changed from the discussion of whether Chen Xiaoliang should stay in Rome to who bought him the underwear and why he bought black ones!
Shi Qingsheng and Liu Yue looked at each other in silence again...
In a minute, Chen Xiaoliang, wearing new clothes, ran back to the court and the game continued!
Having lost the chance to quickly attack, the Napoli players have retreated.
The confrontation just now made Anguisa a little angry.
I thought to myself that the first time I dribbled the ball tonight, I was intercepted and even got a card.
Next season, he may have a good chance to play in the Premier League!
Failure in this one-on-one competition will directly affect the scouts' evaluation of him!
Some blind people may even think that his physical fitness is a disgrace to his African brothers!
If you don’t take revenge, you are not a gentleman in Cameroon!
Zalewski kicked the ball out, Veretout took the ball, looked at it, and passed it to Pellegrini who was retreating.
Anguisa, with a fierce look on his face, immediately stepped forward to defend Pellegrini.
The captain of Roma is also a veteran, and he thought, you already have a yellow card, what can you do to me?
The dignified Fourth Hokage of Roma never took Anguisa seriously at all.
He gently passed the ball to Zalewski who was on the left, then rushed forward.
In the positional attack, Mourinho asked Abraham to enter the penalty area and form a double point with Cesco, and then Pellegrini and Zalewski took turns to launch support and attack on the left.
It was the first time that Zalewski went deep into Napoli's territory in this game. Like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, he was not at all nervous facing Di Lorenzo's defense. He took the ball all the way to the baseline, and with a left foot, he passed the ball back to Pellegrini who was behind him to coordinate with him.
The Roma captain crossed to Cesco.
The one defending Cesco is Ramani, who may be the weakest player on the field. All long passes and crosses today are focused on this point!
Abraham hung around on the sidelines, preventing Koulibaly from supporting Ramani.
Sure enough, in a one-on-one contest, Ramani, who was slightly behind Cesco in height and jumping ability, failed to head the ball!
Rui and Ruiz double-teamed!
Cesco had the ball but was double-teamed by three people and couldn't easily turn around and face the goal.
And in Napoli's penalty area, Abraham was the only teammate!
Sesco had no choice but to pass the ball back to Pellegrini.
Anguisa immediately blocked him and left him no room to adjust.
Unexpectedly, Pellegrini took the ball and shot it directly!
It was similar to Insigne's shot before, but the distance was even farther!
Ospina made a save and the ball bounced out of the bottom line, corner kick!
Shi Qingsheng: "Set pieces are a good opportunity for Roma. They can make full use of their header advantage."
Liu Yue: "That's right, but we have to find a way to completely end the attack, whether it's a goal or a goal. Otherwise, when the central defender presses forward to compete for the header, if the corner kick is not of high quality and the opponent directly counterattacks, Roma's speed will be difficult to cope with Napoli's speed."
Shi Qingsheng: "Naples has been waiting all night, just waiting for this opportunity to advance quickly!"
Pellegrini takes a corner kick!
No need to think, it’s better to go later!
It’s better to go find his beloved vice-chairman Mancini!
Even though Di Lorenzo, Anguiza and Politano were defending nearby at the back post, Mancini still headed the ball!
But the ball speed is not fast!
Ospina didn't dare to take the ball and punched it out with both fists!
Insigne, Ospina rushed up!
Chen Xiaoliang also rushed forward!
The three of them were very fast! And they were all determined to win!
Especially Chen Xiaoliang. If the ball is taken by these two people, Veretout and Karsdorp behind him will most likely not be able to defend it!
Facing the landing point of the ball, Chen Xiaoliang and Osimhen jumped at the same time from opposite directions!
Insigne, who is 163cm tall, is waiting to pick up the ball!
The two collided!
It’s hard to tell who touched the ball first, but the ball definitely changed direction!
But both of them fell heavily to the ground!
Insigne controlled the ball not far away and was about to run forward when the referee stopped the game!
Because the linesman raised the flag! He indicated that Chen Xiaoliang had committed a foul!
The players from both teams nearby immediately surrounded the referee!
The referee was complaining in his heart. When faced with such an incident that happened in an instant, he used to be able to make decisions based on his experience and the opinions of the linesman, but now he can only seek help from the video referee team.
However, the two head coaches on the sidelines couldn't wait any longer.
It’s so important who committed the foul!
If Osimhen gets another card, he'll be out!
Mourinho reached the fourth official a second faster than Spalletti.
"This is a foul! Osimhen raised his elbow, he should be given a yellow card!"
"It was Chen Xiaoliang who pushed the opponent first. Osimhen's action was a natural movement to maintain balance! The linesman has already signaled. Don't think that you can make the referee make a decision in your favor just because it's your home court!"
"How dare you criticize me? If the referee hadn't taken care of you, how could you have won 8 consecutive games?!"
As soon as Mourinho said this, Napoli assistant coach Domenichini, who was trying to mediate, could no longer hold back and immediately changed from trying to put out the fire to trying to add fuel to the fire.
"Besides your mouth, what else do you have left?! Lu Se!"
Mourinho's confidant and fitness coach Lapetti also joined in: "He has won championships that you will never dream of in your life! If you want to criticize him, check if you are qualified first!"
The topic completely evolved from arguing about fouls to personal attacks!
After a few seconds, the referee turned off his headphones and walked towards Chen Xiaoliang and Osmeen!
It’s time to make a judgment!
Everyone was silent! Everyone knew that this penalty might determine their fate tonight!
The referee first penalized two people on the field, both of whom had physical actions, but the video referee team replayed the game and found it to be a reasonable collision, not a foul, so the ball was awarded to Napoli.
Seeing the referee's decision, Mourinho immediately rushed into the field!
Not only was the yellow card not given, but the ball was also taken away. How can we tolerate this?
He stared at the referee and argued with him, which resulted in him getting a second yellow card!
After the referee took out his cards, he pointed to the stands!
You can see that he is emotional!
What he was probably thinking was: You guys are never going to stop, are you?
Mourinho pointed at the referee fiercely with his hand, then walked towards the player tunnel under the pull of João.
The whole audience booed!
Not only were the majority of people booing the referee, but a small number of Roma fans were also booing Mourinho for not being calm enough!
Chen Xiaoliang stood up with the help of Veretout and Cesco.
The collision with Osmeen in the air just now was quite powerful. This guy is fast and has a huge impact!
There is no place in the air to leverage, so we can only fight head-on!
But when he took a look, he saw that Napoli's team doctor was still examining Osimhen who was lying on the ground. It was obvious that he was hit more seriously than himself!
As for Spalletti, although he was secretly happy to see Mourinho being sent to the stands, he was also somewhat dissatisfied with the referee's cancellation of the linesman's clear signal that Chen Xiaoliang had committed a foul.
He also knew the power of Chen Xiaoliang's defense in the middle. If he could be given a yellow card at this time, Napoli's offensive pressure would be much less!
The game was delayed for several minutes before it resumed!
71st minute!
Abraham's dribbling was intercepted during the counterattack, Napoli seized the opportunity, Di Lorenzo rushed all the way to the right baseline and then made a cross!
Osmeen has been unhappy for a long time. This time, he kept calculating the distance and rushed forward in the middle!
At this moment, he jumped high, and Ibanez and Smalling behind him could not keep up with his speed at all. They could only watch him head the ball into his own goal!
Osimhen celebrates wildly!
But just as he ran to the corner flag, the referee blew the whistle and said the goal didn't count!
Osmeen is on fire!
He rushed to the referee and asked loudly: "The linesman didn't raise the flag. I saw it clearly, it was not offside!"
The referee dispersed the other players and said to Osimhen alone: ​​"The video referee team has clearly watched the VAR! You are offside by about a quarter of a body length!"
"Osimhen! Osimhen!" Spalletti and Domenichini shouted the name repeatedly!
These two people are so anxious. You already have a yellow card, but you still go to the referee to argue. Are you thinking that you are not leaving the field quickly enough?
Fortunately, Insigne quickly pulled Osimhen away.
Spalletti applauded Osimhen, which was a form of encouragement and also a way to make him relax.
But the referee turned around at this moment, and in his eyes, Spalletti was applauding himself!
The referee ran over, took out a yellow card towards Spalletti without hesitation, and pointed towards the stands!
Everyone was stunned!
The home fans did not cheer. Some veteran fans who had been watching football for decades had never seen such a scene: two head coaches were sent off in one game!
Especially Spalletti, his already funny bald head and facial features look even funnier now!
He stared at the referee with wide eyes, not knowing what to say!
Call the referee a stupid donkey, it is obvious that the referee is too emotional, the foreplay tonight was too full, so the referee's desire to draw a card has exploded at this moment!
Just explain to him, the cards you have taken out cannot be taken back, what’s the point of explaining!
Two minutes later, the two head coaches appeared one after another in two separate stands.
They all looked at the field with an awkward, constipated expression, neither angry nor anxious!
Shi Qingsheng: "Has Liu Yue ever seen such a situation before? Both head coaches were sent off."
Liu Yue thought for a moment and said, "I was just thinking about this topic. In my career of playing and watching football, I have definitely never seen such a thing. I have only seen the head coach and assistant coach of a team both sent off. However, in basketball, in 2019, Clippers head coach Rivers and Bulls head coach Boylan were both ejected by the referee because of a quarrel."
Shi Qingsheng: "Two coaches, two red cards, this is simply an alternative Serie A Red Derby!"
