Chapter 81 Rome Derby Happy and relaxing times are always so short. Two days later. The fierce Rome derby begins. At the Ponte Milvio near the Olympic Stadium, more than 300 fans fought each other, paper bombs exploded, thick smoke billowed, beer bottles flew everywhere, and roadside vehicles were smashed; security personnel held up shields and tried to quell the chaos. The tens of thousands of fans inside the stadium were unwilling to be outdone, and their overwhelming momentum condensed into a tense hostility. Fireworks explode. Red and blue smoke bombs exploded wildly. The north and south stands used all kinds of tricks to taunt each other. Not long ago, the Italian Football Association promoted "The Diary of Anne Frank" in a pre-match ceremony, which resulted in very abstract posters and slogans appearing in the stands at this moment. "Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, audience friends."
"Now we are broadcasting live the 2012nd round of the 13/22 Serie A!" "Roma vs. Lazio!" "Can the tired Red Wolves returning from Camp Nou withstand the attack of the Blue Eagles?" "Four days later, Roma will face Barcelona at this stadium, which will be a great test for Enrique's lineup." "A good head coach should demonstrate his wisdom and intelligence in rotation adjustments." Pre-match press conference. Lazio coach Petkovic is full of fighting spirit: "The battle between mortal enemies cannot be measured by paper data!" "I know Roma is doing very well in the Champions League, but they are currently second in Serie A, with Juventus in first place, the team that was beaten by Lazio in the Italian Cup." "Consider the overall situation? Consider the Serie A and European competition points?" "Do you think this is the Netherlands? I heard that other Eredivisie teams will be particularly gentle to Ajax during the European war." "Tonight is a derby, Lazio will go all out!" The other side. Enrique is in a dilemma. The main players had just experienced a fierce battle at Camp Nou three days ago, and will face Barcelona in the second round of the Champions League four days later. What a damn schedule, with our arch-rival Lazio sneaking in right in the middle. A tough nut to crack. A fierce battle is inevitable. The Roma coaching staff was afraid that the players would get injured.
"I understand how the fans feel." "Even if we have more points than our arch-rivals, as long as we lose the derby, this season will be incomplete." "Roma's players are tired but we hope to win this game." Player tunnel. The Lazio team is full of murderous intent. The Roman queue looked a little tired. The physical fatigue is bearable and I can recover in three days. It’s hard to adjust to the mental fatigue. The sense of fate between foreign players as sworn enemies is not too strong, but it often has to be shown in the eyes of fans. In a Rome derby a few seasons ago, two players couldn't hold back their laughter while "butting heads" on the pitch. Morata looked around and couldn't help but whispered to Klose: "When Gao and I were in the youth training camp, we often watched your videos and your headers..." Klose is an idol for many new generation forwards. Inspirational. self-discipline. Keep improving. Many of his technical moves are also classic examples in youth training materials. Klose laughed and said, "Really? Neither of you heads the ball like me." Gao Qi nodded: "Really." The camera lens moved over, and the three people immediately stopped communicating and put on a resolute and indifferent expression again. The pre-game ritual is abstract. The Italian Football Association has once again done something that has angered the public. They actually invited a Korean singer to sing at the derby. The scenes of the 2002 World Cup are still vivid in my mind. Lazio and Roma fans share the same hatred for the enemy at this moment. Tens of thousands of fans booed in unison. The lit firecrackers were thrown towards the stage crazily. Some extreme fans greeted the Koreans in their own way. "Well, we can feel that Rome is a very welcoming city!" "The eagle soars in the sky, it hovers over the Olympic Stadium."
"Roma's mascot interacting with young fans." "The referee team led the players from both teams out of the line-up, and the big screen showed the starting lineups for both teams." "Roma's formation is 4-4-2!" "Goalkeeper: Goicochea." "Defenders: Piris, Burdisso, Marquinhos, Balzaretti." "Midfield: Florenzi, Pjanic, Bradley, Lamela,." "Forwards: Gao Qi, Morata." Studio. - [So many of the main players from the Camp Nou battle were replaced? 】 - [Why does it feel like something is going to go wrong? Burdisso has been making mistakes for so many years. Can he really play in Serie A? ] - [He performed well in Roma, but Enrique just didn't like to use him. ] - [It is normal for something to happen. The bench depth of a mid-level team fighting on multiple fronts is not enough. Roma's performance in Serie A is just like this, and they are often bullied by weak teams. ] - [Roma should just focus on the Champions League. Enrique was beaten by Lazio last season anyway, so face is not important. ] "Lazio's formation is 4-1-4-1!" "Goalkeeper: Marchetti." "Defenders: Konko, Biawa, Dias, Lulic." "Single defensive midfielder: Ledesma." "Central midfielders: Candreva, Hernanes, Gonzalez, Mauri." "Forward: Klose." Studio. - [Kan Dao + K God, I would like to call this the strongest "cross + header" combo in Serie A. 】 - [Lazio players are in good shape and have a complete lineup. I think they will beat Roma.] - [I hope I can still see Klose in the World Cup next year, when he will be 36 years old.] Accompanied by the referee's whistle. The game officially begins. Lazio has the ball. Klose passed the ball back to Biawa. The latter made a quick long pass, looking for Candreva who was running at high speed on the right side. "There has never been a bus parked in the Rome derby. Only Luis Enrique has done this in recent years." "High pressure!" "Fight against attack!" Candreva stopped the ball 40 meters inside Roma's half. His appearance is unstable, sometimes he is very handsome, sometimes he looks like an old man. For Happy Beans players, this guy is at the king level. The data on paper is average. The technology is average.
Honor in general. However, as long as he touches the ball on the field, it seems that he can beat anyone on equal terms; no matter how solid the defense is, it cannot withstand his cross. It seems as if he has the aura of a natural protagonist and can always attract the audience's attention. "Florenzi's pressing!" "Candreva doesn't have the ability to accelerate the breakthrough? How did he get through?" "Rome is in danger." "Lazio now has eight players running across the half court, creating width for their attack!" "Wow, how did Candreva take the ball out of bounds?" The Blue Eagle's fierce offensive came to an abrupt halt. The Roma defense immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The scene did not immediately turn into a fierce melee. Lazio's defense against Gao Qi in the midfield and backcourt was even a bit gentle, and they did not use physical force for the time being. The 16th minute of the game. Roma got a chance to counterattack. Unfortunately, Burdisso hesitated slightly after completing the steal. This gave Lazio a chance to return to defense. "A perfect opportunity for a counterattack was wasted." "Not bad!" "Pjanic's long pass on the ground is extremely penetrating!" "The football rushed to the front court!" "Gao Qi half-turned and stopped the ball!" "Ledesma, push but don't rob." The Lazio midfielder is a South American. Since he could not be selected for the Argentina national team, he became an Italian citizen and married an Italian wife. It was a bit bad that he couldn't play for the Italian national team. Gao Qi half-turned to stop the ball, then kicked the grass hard and accelerated diagonally forward. Ledesma was in hot pursuit. Blue Eagles center back Diaz, intercepted from the front. He talked a lot of trash when he first met Gao Qi last season, but it didn't have any effect. Pinch!
Physical confrontation? I may not lose to this guy! While narrowing the gap, he was surprised to find that Gao Qi had made great progress, especially in terms of ball touching rhythm and ball control radius. The video can't tell. Only when fighting can you deeply experience the level of combat power. "Gao Qi hasn't lost the ball yet!" "He attracted two defenders!" "Morata is left one-on-one with Biawa!" "Beautiful! The Spanish genius made a fake run and cut diagonally into the middle! His explosive power is amazing! Biava can't keep up!" "Gao Qi's lob pass was like the light of a flashlight, piercing through the cracks in the rocks in the darkness." Diaz and Ledesma almost sealed Gao Qi off. The football passed through the gap between the two men. Falling towards the top of the penalty area! The Roma coaching staff and fans are excited! Morata! Single sword! Kick missed. Lazio goalkeeper Marchetti couldn't help but applaud. Courtside. Enrique and Ivan thumped the turf in frustration. Can this be kicked off? The two sides gradually entered into a state of hand-to-hand combat. Roma's midfield configuration tonight was not strong enough, and mistakes were easy to occur in the physical confrontation. Speaking individually, American player Bradley is tough enough, but he is prone to mistakes in this kind of combat environment. The 30th minute of the game. The thin Lamela wanted to advance with the ball, but was pushed away by the strong Diaz. "oops!" "Large-scale transfer!" "Lazio should still play on the right side!" Candreva kept moving forward, stopping and dribbling. When he reached the 30-meter area in Roma's half, he slowed down and made a direct cross! Not topspin. The low trajectory, like a sharp kitchen knife, cut through Roma's defense. The 18-year-old Marquinhos has mature skills, but he lacks awareness. He turned and ran back, trying to lift his feet to disrupt the opponent's cross, but he could only watch the ball bypass him. Just two steps left. The north stand of the Olympic Stadium has erupted in cheers! "Klose took Burdisso away!" "Mauri!"
"Stop the ball, take two steps into the penalty area, and face the goalkeeper!" Mauri is a big gambler and was accused of match-fixing last season. Finally, after various appeals, he was able to clear his name. He really needs a brilliant performance to prove himself and prove that he did not fix the match. Bah! A shot with all your might! Let the football fly out of the stands! Now it was the turn of the Lazio coaching staff and fans to hold their heads in bewilderment. Maoli was in tears. I didn't play well, not because of match-fixing. Comment area. - [The two clubs usually have strong offensive firepower, but they just can't score a goal when they play against each other.] - [I hate Lazio the most! ] - [Lazio is very sincere to Chinese fans. They even put a group photo of the Chinese school in their 100-year history album. Their attitude is very positive.] - [Lazio's own commercial value is so low, how could it do such a thing? ] The game was excruciating. The fight in the midfield became more intense. Florenzi hasn't played in midfield for a long time and occasionally he habitually retreats deeper. Pjanic and Lamela's small bodies can't handle it. Bradley swept hard, trying to protect the line behind him. Gao Qi retreated at the right time to help relieve the pressure on the midfield, but Diaz turned into a "Chiellini" player tonight, playing like a defender in the midfield. Defense is one thing. The midfield was unable to compete, and there was no way to control the frequency of attacks and deliver ammunition to the frontcourt. "Burdisso's performance was amazing. He blocked Klose's shot for the third time!" "An Inter Milan star may become a Roma star." Burdisso was described by the media as ungrateful. In 2005, his daughter was diagnosed with leukemia and had no interest in playing football. The Inter Milan boss was very humane. He allowed him to take paid leave to take care of his daughter, and helped him find the best hospital and contact experts. His teammates were also very nice to him. When they saw him being bullied in the Champions League, they all raised their fists to "join the fight." result. This guy actually publicly blasted his old club some time ago. Close-up of the stands. Several main players who were rotated were worried. Totti and De Rossi were eager to play. Castan could only tactfully advise everyone: "We must adjust our condition and welcome Barcelona here in four days." Courtside.
Enrique sat back in the coaching booth. Gradually accept the disadvantage: every time there is a rotation in several key positions in Roma's midfield and backcourt, the overall combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. Time passes gradually. The derby is becoming more and more tense. Ivan paced back and forth on the sidelines, wanting to replace Gao Qi and Morata. 79 minutes. Candreva once again appeared with the ball on the right side of the 30-meter area in Roma's half. Nothing has changed. A mindless cross. Still a high quality track! "Klose!" "He's going to do it himself this time!" "Header!" "In!!!" 0:1! ! ! Roma goalkeeper Goikoetxea, who remained on his knees, patted his thigh helplessly. Marquinhos covered his face in frustration. Klose ran all the way, jumped up suddenly, and made a classic "front flip" celebration. In the north stand of the Olympic Stadium, Lazio fans suddenly went wild! Can't win the championship. If we can beat Roma in the derby, we can still have the same pleasure as winning the championship! There is not much time left for the Red Wolf. For more than ten minutes, Roma's midfield and backcourt could hardly switch from defense to offense. Pjanic was restricted. The offensive and defensive hub became the American - Bradley. "Roma's counterattack long pass flew out of the wing again." "Gao Qi is already desperately chasing the ball. There's nothing we can do." Entering injury time. The referee on the sidelines held up the LED sign: 3 minutes of extra time.
Gao Qi was covered in mud and grass clippings. Received the pass from Pjanic again. "Can you create a chance to equalize the score?" "Keep trying!" "After Lazio took the lead, the defense was strong and wide, so it's okay!" "Ledesma, push but don't rob." "Don't fight Gao Qi physically, wait for your teammates' support! This tactic seems to work tonight." "Press but don't steal. If you want to steal, then do it! Gao Qi directly shot from a distance!" Ledesma fought for 90 minutes, constantly advancing and retreating, and was a little tired at this time. Mistakes occur when you get tired. His pace slowed down by half a beat. Gao Qi pushed the ball and created some space. Looking at Lazio's wide-spaced defense line, they increased their defensive strength after taking the lead. Kick directly. There is no time. Just give it a try! Bah! The football whizzed open Lazio's goal! 1:1! ! ! Marchetti stood there in a daze, unable to react: Was this ball a fluke? (End of this chapter)
