Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 141 Veterans Don't Die
At the Allianz Stadium in Turin, when Chiesa held the ball on the wing, the expectations of the Juventus fans in the stands were instantly ignited!

Especially the area on the left side of the lowest stand, where the fans are closer to the stadium, and the shouts are louder!

Of course, these shouts are not only a cheer for Chiesa, but also a demonstration for Mourinho at the front!

Kulusevski, Locatelli and Bentancur gathered at the front of the penalty area, not only to contain Juventus' two midfielders, but also to rush into the penalty area to attack at any time!
At the end, not only the two full-backs, but even Chiellini crossed the center line, serving as a catch-up point for the return pass, helping the team organize a second attack!

For this reason, Pellegrini has taken it back, but even so, he and Cristante cannot prevent Juventus from being overwhelmed to this level!
Chen Xiaoliang could only stand at the front of the right side of the penalty area, watching Chiesa challenge Karlsdorp and Mkhitaryan's defense time and time again.

In just 3 minutes, he has passed Karlsdorp 2 times, but he didn't grasp the last pass well and failed to make the ball into the penalty area.

In the 84th minute, Juventus went on the offensive again from the left!
Mkhitaryan was obviously tired. The 32-year-old Armenian was tired of coping with Sandro's forward and backward running positions, but he still squeezed out his last physical strength and tried his best to defend!
After Sandro passed the ball to Chiesa, he ran forward as soon as he started!
Mkhitaryan had to defend!

Sandro's intention is also very clear, that is, relying on the physical advantage of playing late, using repeated sprints to drag down the physical strength of the Roman defense!

Chiesa took the ball to observe the front, and Karlsdorp was not a threat at all in his eyes.

He started from the left, along the inside to the center diagonally!

Karlsdorp keeps retreating!
Little Chiesa accelerated, and suddenly changed direction to the outside again!

Karlsdorp, who was backing sideways with his left foot just now, quickly turned around and stepped back with his right foot behind him!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Chiesa changed his ball-handling foot again, changed direction again, and broke through to the inside!
Karlsdorp also wanted to turn around, but his feet were stumped, and he almost tripped himself!
That's it, he was passed again!

too fast!
Not only is the speed of changing direction fast, there is almost no pause, but the speed of the first step after changing direction is also very fast!
Chen Xiaoliang moved a few steps to the right, pretending to go forward to block, but he couldn't really rush over. There are too many Juventus players in front of the penalty area, and all of them can attack from behind!
Time was running out, and Chiesa didn't stick the ball. He took it to the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area, rubbed his instep, and raised a low arc!

In the middle, it's still a penalty spot!

All the players from both sides in the penalty area rushed over!

Chen Xiaoliang also rushed over!

This time Ibanez hit the top, but he didn't exert his strength!

The ball flew to the top of the arc in the penalty area!
Morata fell to the ground. Seeing that the referee had nothing to say, he got up quickly!

Pellegrini received the ball and was about to turn around when he was caught by Bentancur and stretched out his legs to break the ball!
Huang Jianxiang: "Bentancur didn't choose to take a long-range shot, but went to the right!"

"Cuadrado catches the ball!"

"Binia is coming up!"

"Cuadrado went straight to the ball and went through the Vigna wicket!"

"Cuadrado enters the penalty area! Sweeps in front of the goal!"

"Locatelli header!"

"The ball changed direction and flew out of the baseline!"

"Look carefully in slow motion. Locatelli's top ball hits Morata's belly at the near post!"

Xu Yang: "This is the No.12 player in Rome, the third post!"

Barrage:

[Morata, I'm really convinced! 】

[Rome fans said that the goal hero Keane was replaced and Morata was replaced, thanking Allegri for not killing him]

[Bao Qiang played like this earlier, surpassed Binia with speed, and he would not be so passive for most of the game]

[Morata, Dayu who passed the goal three times but failed to score]

[The king of Yue who performed offside hat-tricks 36 times in a single season? 】

[Duplicate Cao Pi? 】

[With a weekly salary of 14.5 euros, playing defense for the opponent...]

[Scored 3 goals in the European Cup, Spain's top scorer in the European Cup. If you think he's not good enough, he'll show you. If you think he's good, he'll show you...]

...

Joao applies for a substitution!

Continuous crosses made Mourinho determined to change his formation!
Smalling replaced Mkhitaryan, who was physically exhausted, and Zalewski replaced Abraham!
The formation has been changed to three central defenders!Strengthen the air defense capabilities of restricted areas!

Sun Jihai: "At this point in time, a central defender is replaced and a center forward is removed. Roma is going to keep a tie and keep 1 point."

Xu Yang: "I really didn't expect it before the game. In the first 80 minutes, Roma had the advantage. I really didn't expect to be able to play like this. Although Roma has been in good form since the start of the season, Juventus has rebounded strongly recently. home field.

But at the end of the game, the depth of the bench still reflected the gap between the two teams. "

The Roma players on the field also realized the change in wind direction.

Mourinho, who had been encouraging everyone to win before the game, seemed to realize that the team had ushered in a critical period in the last few minutes!

This wave can be defended, and there may be a chance to fight another one through counterattack.

If you can't keep it, not only will 1 point become 0 points, but tonight's hard work will be in vain. If the ball is lost at the last moment, the team's slowly accumulated morale will also suffer!
In the next game, which is 6 days, they will return to Rome to face the top team of the season, Naples, which has won 7 consecutive victories!
The time came to the 86th minute, and Patricio was about to kick off the goal kick.

Juventus is fully pressing at this time, and only Cesko in Rome is near the middle circle, and the rest are retreating!
Patricio directly kicked forward, the ball was not very accurate, and it was received by Bonucci.

It is still given to the left!

After Mkhitaryan left the field, Pellegrini moved to the right to help defend, but he couldn't run much.

Sandro passes the ball to Bentancur, who catches Pellegrini's attention with a simple dribble feint and passes it back to Sandro!

Chiesa Jr. retracts, Sandro inserts to the bottom line, Karlsdorp presses, Sandro passes to Chiesa Jr.!

After several consecutive high ball passes without scoring, Chiesa chose to cut inside this time!
What should be faced is still to be faced after all!
Facing Chen Xiaoliang's defense, Chiesa changed direction continuously!Keep fiddled with the ball between the left and right feet!
Chen Xiaoliang only felt that the phantom of Little Chiesa produced by the man-marking attribute was also appearing and disappearing on his left and right sides!

It is impossible to judge which side Chiesa is going to go!
Because even the Italian himself doesn't know which side he wants to choose from!

He was testing Chen Xiaoliang's defense with repeated small changes of direction and shaking. As long as the center of gravity of the red man moves in a flash, that is the best time for him to break through!
Chen Xiaoliang kept retreating. At this time, he could neither go up to the tackle, nor could he tackle it easily!
Little Chiesa brought it into the penalty area!

The other players of the two teams were running, and then watched the two of them playing offensive and defensive heads-up from different angles and different postures!
Little Chiesa's space and angle are getting smaller and smaller!

When he came to the penalty area, he didn't have enough space to accelerate the ball in one step!

Chen Xiaoliang can no longer retreat!

The distance between the two is very close!

Chen Xiaoliang posted it to his right side!
As soon as he moved, Chiesa went to the left!
This is the direction to go to the bottom line!It is also the direction Chen Xiaoliang wants him to go!

If you stick it to his left side, it will make him cut in and go to the middle, and you will get a bigger angle!

At this time, Chen Xiaoliang used the skill of [good at personal defense]!
Use just the right body squeeze to destroy Chiesa's balance and steps!

Despite being pushed, Chen Xiaoliang made no obvious movements in his hands, and he didn't stretch his feet to steal the ball. Little Chiesa just wanted to dive, and there was no suitable diving platform!

Seeing that he was going to be forced to the bottom line, he swung his left foot and swept the ball towards the goal!
But the balance of the body was destroyed by Chen Xiaoliang, the right foot could not stand, the ball was not swept fast, Patricio, who was blocked by the near post, fell to the ground and fell under him!
Little Chiesa fell down, looked up at the referee, but still didn't say anything!
He slapped the turf hard!
Huang Jianxiang: "The ball was successfully defended, but the process was still a bit thrilling. Chiesa's dribbling and direction-changing abilities are indeed second to none in Serie A.

I feel that in the past games, I haven't seen an offensive player who can push Xiao Liang deep into the penalty area. "

Sun Jihai: "Based on my experience, Xiao Liang chose the most reasonable defensive method. The opponent's stride frequency is too fast, because he is short in height and his stride length is not large, no matter how strong his tackle ability is. , There is no guarantee that a shovel will be hit, either being passed, or a free kick or penalty will be given for a foul, there is a risk.

But in the penalty area, one is that so many people occupy the space, and the other does not have enough space to accelerate. At this time, it is very important to choose to use his body, force him to go outside, interfere with his movements, and reduce the quality of his shots. A safe approach. "

When the clock reached 87 minutes, Patricio didn't choose to get up and throw the ball to counterattack immediately. Instead, he lay on the ground for a while, and slowly got up after the people around him dispersed.

Then he walked a few steps with the ball in his arms, observed the referee's movements, and threw the ball on the ground when the time was almost exhausted.

This is the experience of the old Portuguese goalkeeper. Through the substitution just now, he knew that Mourinho wanted to keep a point.

Morata rushed to grab the ball.

But this is all within Patricio's expectations.

He went to Cesko again with big feet.

This time, Cesco unloaded the ball from his chest and barely controlled the ball, but Chiellini's confrontation and harassment from behind made him unable to dribble well.

The ball was still bouncing on the ground, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he jumped on his toes, hung the ball behind him, then leaned on Chiellini, turned around for him as the axis, and ran back!

Even though this legendary Italian central defender and captain of Juventus is well-informed, he never thought that the 18-year-old kid in front of him would do such a thing to him!

This is Chiellini's final season at Juventus.

Since joining Livorno in 2000, he has spent 21 years in his professional career, and it will be 22 years at the end of next year's season.

During this period, he helped Juventus achieve nine consecutive Serie A championships, five Coppa Italia wins, and also helped Italy win one European Cup championship and one European Cup runner-up.

The mainstay of the Italian defense line played as a full-back and even a forward in the first few years of playing in the professional league. Later, he was slowly transformed into a full-back.

After the Calciopoli incident, Juventus, which was relegated to Serie B, faced a number of main players leaving, especially the two main central defenders Cannavaro and Thuram at the time, who were signed by La Liga duo Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.

Under such circumstances, Deschamps, who took over when he was in danger, became the head coach with insight and transformed Chiellini into a central defender, thus realizing the full potential of the Italian.

Faced with the decline of the former nine-time champion in these two seasons, Chiellini already has more than enough energy.

After all, at the age of 36, it is already impossible to expect him to play 90 minutes every game and carry the team's defense forward like five or six years ago.

He is also very happy that the 20-year-old De Ligt can come to Juventus, and has repeatedly stated to the media that the Dutchman will become the best in the world, and he will spare no effort to help him grow.

And he will leave Juventus at the end of the season and go to the United States to spend the last few years of his career.

However, he has not told anyone in the club about this, because before that, he still wants to, as a veteran, do his best to help the team achieve the best results possible, and will not announce until the day he is about to leave.

However, in front of him, this Slovenian child who suddenly leaned against him and turned around gave him a huge feeling of powerlessness.

The fledgling vigor, motivation, and vitality were what he was very familiar with but had long since lost.

It has been 88 minutes, and the 36-year-old, who has defended most of the time, has entered the brink of physical exhaustion.

When I was young, I played a game and took two days off to recover.

Playing a game now, you may not recover for a week.

But after today's game, the team will go to Meazza six days later to challenge the defending champion Inter Milan. De Ligt's injury is not sure if it will recover. He may have to start and play together with his old buddy Bonucci. Full audience.

Seeing that Cesko was about to throw himself off, he took the ball and rushed towards the unstoppable home half.

You can't lose, but you can't be fined either.

Chiellini didn't have time to turn around, so he could only hook Sesco's hand and fall back, making him look like he was brought down by Sesco, and then "accidentally" pulled Sesco to the ground.

The referee stopped the game without hesitation and issued a yellow card.

The Roma players were very dissatisfied and surrounded the referee, thinking that it was a one-handed ball, Chiellini's intentional foul!
But the video referee team told the referee that the last defender at that time was Bonucci, who was looking at the past from the parallel line and was slightly behind on the other side.

Chiellini got up, jogged back to the penalty area, and high-fived his old buddy Bonucci.

It wasn't his withdrawal just now, he was obviously already on his way to the bench.

This kind of tacit understanding was formed by the two partners and cooperation for ten years.

At this age, each other knows where their strengths and weaknesses lie.

Calling the penalty, running, and preparing for a free throw, another minute passed.

Both parties are insisting and trying to get a better result for themselves.

In the 89th minute, Binia kicked off from the backcourt and directly lobbed it into the penalty area!

Ibanez and Bentancur fight for the top!
Bentancur hit the ball, but not far!

Christant caught up with the ball and headed for the goal with a swing!
The ball misses a lot!
Szczesny called the ball boy to give him the ball quickly, and then quickly took the goal kick!

Danilo catches the ball and accelerates!
Karlsdorp pulled him to the ground!
The referee showed another yellow card!

On the sidelines, the fourth official raised his card, 3 minutes of added time!

Danilo kicks off and Roma retreats across the board!
Locatelli made a cross from a long distance at a 45-degree angle!

Smalling hits the ball!
Chen Xiaoliang cleared and kicked forward!
Bonucci holds the ball and continues to organize the attack!
Long pass to the left!

Chiesa took two steps forward after receiving the ball, his physical exhaustion greatly reduced his starting speed. Knowing that he had no way to break through Chen Xiaoliang, he made a through pass to Kulusevsky who was plugging in!

The Swede went to the bottom, but this time he chose an inverted triangle cross!
Cuadrado takes a shot!
The ball went straight to the upper left dead corner!
Just when the hearts of the Roma players and the coach were in their throats, Patricio used an extreme stretch to save and blocked the ball!
The ball hit the crossbar and bounced back!

Manic kicked the bounced ball out of the touchline!

Roma players came up to pay tribute to Patricio!
Patricio, who was born on February 1988, 2, debuted in the Portuguese sports youth training system and has played for the team for 15 years. After the Wolves received investment from Red Country Capital and promoted to the Premier League in 12, he became the One of many Portuguese players signed by Wolves in the summer.

However, two years had passed since the peak of his career at that time. In the 2016 European Cup in France, Patricio made an indelible contribution to Portugal's victory with his superb performance.

Especially in the final, he contributed 7 saves, becoming the goalkeeper with the most saves in a single game of the European Cup since statistics began to be available in 1980, sharing this honor with the Danish goalkeeper Schmeichel.

This year, under the invitation of Mourinho and the operation of Mendes, he came to Serie A from the Premier League.

Compared with Chiellini and Bonucci, the 34-year-old is still in the golden age of goalkeepers, but as the main goalkeeper of the European Cup champion, his ability has never been favored and appreciated by big teams.

Although the Wolves have been considered a strong team in the Premier League in recent years, they have always been at the mid-range level and have nothing to do with the championship.

When he came to Rome, he wanted to fight for the glory of the club competition for himself before the twilight of his career.

As a Portuguese, he is a man of few words on weekdays. He has always regarded two people as his spiritual leaders. One is the national hero of Portugal and his national team teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, and the other is his current head coach. One of Portugal's greatest coaches - Jose Mourinho.

So when Mourinho told him to support a 17-year-old kid from the Red Country, the 34-year-old agreed without any hesitation, and became a staunch supporter of Chen Xiaoliang in the locker room.

He has seen the best players in the world and has defended many powerful forwards in the Premier League. He is not like those young players who will take the three Serie A giants Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan as something A marvelous, blood-fueled affair.

At this moment, he stretched out his fingers to instruct his teammates to rearrange the defense.

In his heart, as long as he is still standing in front of the goal line, he will do everything to protect him.

For the fans who spend money to watch him play, for the trust in his head coach, and even for his career.

Sandro throws a throw-in and it's 91 minutes.

Locatelli receives the ball.

On Rome's side, even Sesco retreated, and he stepped forward to force Locatelli.

Mourinho in the stands also stood up, frowning, not knowing whether he was nervous or anxious, waiting for the game to come to an end.

After a series of inverted kicks, Locatelli passed to Kulusevski, and the Swede gave the ball to Chiesa on the left.

The Italian genius, who hadn't had much rest all summer because of participating in the European Cup, really couldn't move at this time.

Karlsdorp, who was defending him, belonged to the category of immortal running in the Roma team, and his pace at this moment was much slower.

Chiesa chose to cross again, but this time he chose the front point!
Karlsdorp subconsciously stretched out his foot to block, and seemed to touch the ball, slightly changing the trajectory of the ball!

Morata predicted the path of the ball and was about to go forward to the top. Ibanez, who was marking him, clung to him!

Bentancur made a pick-and-roll move, blocking Ibanez in front of him!
Morata takes off for the ball!
A man wearing a red No. 6 jersey stood in front of him!

The two pushed their foreheads towards the ball almost at the same time!
Just like "a game for the faint of heart", Morata was timid at the last moment!

Smalling heads the ball out of the penalty area!
The 32-year-old England centre-back is also preparing to enter the latter stages of his career.

He never received professional football training when he was a teenager, he only played some amateur games with his classmates in his spare time, and participated in the England Regional Amateur League at the age of 17, and was picked up by Fulham scouts and brought him to Craven Farm court.

In two years, he has made amazing progress. He not only completed his debut in the Premier League, but also represented Fulham in the Europa League, which can be described as amazing!
In the end, Sir Alex Ferguson brought him to Old Trafford for £1000 million.

There, he gradually emerged, and was transformed into a right back by Sir Alex Ferguson for a time, and won the Premier League title twice.

However, in the post-Ferguson era of Manchester United, frequent changes of head coaches, different tactical ideas, coupled with his frequent injuries, made him sometimes play and sometimes sit on the bench.

Until the arrival of Solskjaer, he completely lost his main position and was rented to Rome, and his career in the England national team came to an end.

When he came to Rome, he said very little.

The media labeled him as a frustrated person, a fallen person, and a defective product that couldn't get along in a wealthy family.

After two years of mediocrity in Rome, although he has regained a stable chance to play, the joy and passion of football seem to have left him, and it has only become a job that must continue.

Until the arrival of Mourinho.

The last championship he won at Manchester United was won when the Portuguese led the team.

The former coach's speech after the arrival and the club's new owner's huge investment made him see the hope of the championship again.

He has already expressed his position with Mourinho, whether it is three central defenders or two central defenders, compared to the younger Mancini and Ibanez, he is willing to obey any tactical arrangements and playing arrangements.

Mourinho also told him that he will be an important core of the team to support the new red midfielder.

The former Premier League champion had reservations at first.

Until he saw Chen Xiaoliang galloping all over the field and defending fiercely on the bench.

He thought about when he was 17 years old.

If I didn't play in the amateur league that year, but also met a champion coach and gave myself unlimited trust, how good would it be?
Flowers have a re-opening day, and people are no longer young.

The English decided to use their last years to do everything in Rome!
On the field, the time has come to 92 minutes!

The ball that was ejected just now flew to Pellegrini's side at the top of the penalty area, and he kicked forward with a big foot!

Beside him, a figure rushed towards the ball in an instant!
This kind of speed should never have appeared in the 92-minute game!

Huang Jianxiang: "It's Chen Xiaoliang! Xiaoliang chased the ball with incredible speed!"

"The two central defenders of Juventus ran back desperately!"

"Chiellini obviously can't run anymore!"

"But Cesko, who played at night, seems to have inexhaustible stamina!"

"Later, Zalewski who just played has also started!"

"How should Xiao Liang deal with this ball?"

"Behind him Sandro and Chiesa are also desperately catching up!"

"Although the ball was a little too big when catching the ball, there was a flat river in front of Xiao Liang!"

"He seems to be waiting, waiting for Cesko to move!"

"Bonucci fought back, but speed is not his forte!"

"Will this goal be a lore?"

"Sandro behind Xiaoliang can't catch up at all!"

"This speed is unbelievable! Who can believe that this 17-year-old player has played for a full 92 minutes!"

"Xiao Liang hit the pass!"

"Running so fast, he lost his balance and fell to the ground!"

"Sesco!"

"Szczesny strikes!"

"A little bit inside the restricted area!"

"The two hit each other!"

Xu Yang and Sun Jihai exclaimed in unison: "Oh! This hit!"

Huang Jianxiang: "The referee blew the whistle! Fight hard! Fight hard! The two teams showed superhuman will and determination to fans all over the world in the last ten minutes!"

"Looking at the replay, Szczesny made an attack, jumped up and hit the ball with his hands! But at this time Cesko also refused to give an inch, and he couldn't stop in the air! Both of them fell to the ground at this moment, and the team doctors of both teams ran in!"

Xu Yang: "This collision was really serious, both of them gave it their all!"

Sun Jihai: "The ball was the goalkeeper's first touch, but Cesco had already taken off beforehand. It is estimated that Cesco will be called a foul."

Huang Jianxiang: "As Ji Hai said, after the referee asked the team doctor and confirmed everything was fine, he awarded Juventus a free kick in the backcourt!"

"The accident just now delayed more than two minutes, and the game has come to 95 minutes, exceeding the stoppage time of 3 minutes!"

"Chiellini kicks off!"

"Bentancur in the middle, I still want to attack!"

"Hang directly to the penalty area! Smalling once again won the contest with Morata and pushed the ball out!"

"The referee blew the whistle!"

"Juventus finally drew 1-1 with Roma at home!"
