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

Chapter 232 Sound the horn of the Triple Crown!
After the game, and even until the next day, Sesco was still in a state of excitement.

Chen Xiaoliang even felt that instead of saying that he had accepted an old enemy mission before the game, he felt that Jakebo was more like Cesko's old enemy.

Both of them have huge talents visible to the naked eye, but the performance of this talent is clearly the result of hard training.

Although Cesko, who is taller and heavier, is not inferior to most centers in terms of speed and dribbling, his impact and fulcrum in the penalty area are his greatest role.

Gakpo, who plays as a left forward, has a wider range of activities and a longer distance to attack the goal. At 189 in height, he dribbled the ball several times in this game and broke through Celik and Matic. The picture once made Mourinho It was like sitting on pins and needles, not to mention the world wave scored not long after the game opened.

When several of their old partners practiced after training, even Wu Lei was infected by Sesco's excitement.

On the way home, I couldn't help feeling that in Europe, even in the football leagues of some medium-sized countries, teenage children can gradually play games.

At the same time, witnessing and often competing with high-level opponents can also allow them to "raise the ball" quickly.

In the end, in a huge pyramid-shaped young talent system, a steady stream of newcomers will join it.

And Mbappe, Harland, and Pedri are naturally top players standing at the top.

In the red country, 23-year-old players are still called young players. If the league hadn't forced the U23 playing policy, they might not even have the chance to be replaced for one minute in order to meet the U23 policy.

Thinking of this, Wu Lei sighed again that he should have come out earlier.

The so-called best local striker in China is not as good as a large number of unknown young strikers under the age of 20 in Europe.

After discussing with Chen Xiaoliang, he has clearly informed his home team Espanyol that he will return to the Red Country next season and return to his old team Donghai Harbor to play the rest of his career.

Naturally, the Spaniards, who were in financial difficulties and lived frugally, did not retain them.

For a period of time after the introduction of martial arts, although the team's exposure in the Red Country has greatly increased, due to the team's subsequent record getting worse and worse and even being relegated to the Second League, and the later head coaches are unwilling Wu Lei was set as the main starter, so this deal did not bring any substantial benefits to the club.

There are countless such cases.

Take South Korea as an example. Although there are already many players playing in the five major leagues, the one who really brings obvious benefits to the club in terms of "absorbing money" is the flourishing Sun Xingmin.

Chen Xiaoliang understands Wu Lei's situation very well, but they still have three championships to fight for this season.

These three championships are not only for the two of them, but also for Mourinho, who is full of champions. They are all important goals that must be won.

After training in Rome for 2 days, everyone flew to Florence to participate in the 36th round of the league.

In the UEFA Cup, Chen Xiaoliang gave an assist and gained a total of 7 skill points.

In addition to the BUFF that doubles the rewards of the European War this season and the 1.5 times the prestige coefficient of Eindhoven, the final skill value reward is 21 points.

Skill value 30→51
In 3 days, he trained with the team for a total of 9 hours. Although Chen Xiaoliang also participated in the additional training of Sesco and others, in order not to increase fatigue, he only fed the ball to a few people. The amount of exercise was too low, so he did not The system does not accumulate training time.

On May 2022, 5, the final game of the 9th round of Serie A started.

Roma once again came to the Franchi Stadium to challenge Fiorentina, who had previously played yellow cards all over the sky in the Coppa Italia semi-finals.

But after the opening, Fiorentina coach Italiano discovered that the team in front of him hadn't seen him for only a month, as if they had changed teams.

Each of them is like the wolf on their team badge, with fierce eyes, wishing to swarm up and immediately bite the opponent in front of them into a bloody look.

At the same time, Fiorentina, who had fought for 90 minutes against AC Milan at San Siro in the last round, wanted to compete for the European Cup next season, but lost Piatek, Bonaventura and Lucas Torre due to injuries. After pulling three players, they still lost by 1 goal, which had a great impact not only on the strength of the team lineup, but also on morale.

Facing such a Viola who was almost devastated by the wind and rain, Mourinho let the team start aggressively and achieved the expected tactical goal in the first 30 minutes.

In the 7th minute, Matic took a long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area. Unexpectedly, the shot turned into an assist. When the ball rolled to the left post, Zaniolo stabbed and shot for the team to win.

In the 29th minute, Roma played an iconic quick counterattack. Patricio kicked the ball to Mancini, Mancini passed to Spinazzola on the right, and the latter passed to Chen Xiaoliang in the center.

Chen Xiaoliang kicked the ball to Zaniolo who had already run to the center line in front of the right. Zaniolo advanced at full speed, and the entire defense line of Fiorentina was desperately chasing back.

At the front of the penalty area, Zaniolo pushed the ball across with his right foot and passed the ball to the feet of Sesco who was inserted on the left.

At this time, Chen Xiaoliang in the middle has also rushed up, and for a while, the left, center and right three lines made a quick break. Cesko can either shoot by himself or pass back in an inverted triangle.

In the end, Cesco didn't waste Zaniolo's wonderful pass, and volleyed with his left foot from a close angle. The entire counterattack took only 10 seconds, and the score was rewritten to 0-2.

After Florence was beaten with two sticks, she honestly set up the bus without any extraneous thoughts.

Roma did not kill them all. The rest of the game was like garbage time in a basketball game. The two sides "symbolically" attacked and defended a few times. The home team did not provoke the visiting team to kill themselves. .

The most important thing is that after AC Milan defeated Verona 1-3 in the away game the day before, Roma was able to secure 3 points in this game and continued to cling to the 1-point gap.

In this game, Chen Xiaoliang was replaced in 65 minutes. Wu Lei played the entire second half. He had two good shots but unfortunately failed to score. However, he did not hesitate to fight in the frontcourt and still helped the team. After the main force was replaced, he took control of the situation on the field.

After the game, 3 training points and 2 stamina recovery cards were distributed to Chen Xiaoliang's prize pool as task rewards.

Stamina Recovery Card 4 → 6

第36轮联赛，国际米兰主场4比2战胜恩波利，都灵主场0比1不敌那不勒斯，为了保级拼死一战的热那亚主场2比1战胜了尤文图斯。

这样的赛果导致积分榜第3至第5的排名虽然没有变化，但同积70分的尤文和国米与第5积68分的那不勒斯的分差缩小到只有2分。

In the last two rounds of the league, these three teams competing for a place in the Champions League are bound to burn the flames to the last minute.

同时，在联赛仅剩2轮的情况下，积60分、排名第6、领先第7的佛罗伦萨多达7分的拉齐奥已经彻底锁定了下赛季欧会杯的席位。

In the relegation zone, there is a 16-point gap between Venice, which is at the bottom, and Spezia, which is 5th, and the five teams will also fight to the last moment for relegation.

Such fierce competition is naturally what the Serie A league is happy to see. Many media and fans have praised this season as one of the most exciting seasons since the new century.

And Rome is naturally the biggest and most eye-catching factor.

However, whether it was the post-match press conference or all the coaches and players rushing back to Rome from Florence, not only did everyone not become excited because of the easy victory of this game, but they became more nervous one by one.

Mourinho even issued a media gag order to everyone in the club, including echelon coaches and players, as well as civilian staff, after obtaining the permission of boss Dan Friedkin.

Because in 2 days, at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the Italian capital, which is the home of the Roma team, this season's Coppa Italia final will start!
If we say that in terms of the number of championships won in the top domestic leagues, Roma, which has only won 3 championships, can only rank 8th among all teams. Not only is it inferior to Juventus, which has won 36 championships, Inter Milan 19 times, and AC 18 times. Milan, even Genoa, Turin, Bologna and other mid-lower teams can't compare. If they are purely a "brother", they have a record to be proud of in the Coppa Italia.

The first session was held in 1922, but it was suspended due to various factors. Until the renewal in 1935, Juventus has won a total of 14 Coppa Italia championships and 7 runner-ups, while Rome has won 9 times. Champion, 8 times runner-up.

But the most recent one has been the 2007-08 season.

They are followed by seven-time champions Inter Milan and city rivals Lazio.

Another giant, Rome's opponent AC Milan this season, has only won 5 championships.

Although the importance of this championship does not seem to be as important as the league championship and European Cup championship, but as the first event in the third-line battle in the half-season that can achieve results, the outcome of this final has a great impact on the team's mentality and attitude in the last three games. The impact of self-confidence is self-evident.

Mourinho does not want any extravagance before the game.

He wants to use this game as a clarion call to the Triple Crown, not a death knell for all four at the end of the season.

What's more, in the last two rounds of the league competition, being able to defeat AC Milan in a direct dialogue will at least have a considerable impact on the opponent psychologically.

In the past two days of training, Mourinho has only practiced one thing, which is defense.

Although this has been repeatedly emphasized and rehearsed countless times, Mourinho, who is well versed in "attacking to win the scene and defending to win the championship", still puts defense as the first pick in the final.

How to make Weiletu cooperate with Celik to prevent Leo from breaking through from the left;
How to make the three central defenders better deal with the opponent changing positions in the penalty area;
How to resolve the fulcrum role of Ibrahimovic or Giroud;

How to cut off the connection between Casey, Tonali and Krunic in front.

In short, after reading almost all the offensive routines and scoring methods of AC Milan in the second half of the season, Mourinho arranged and emphasized all the places he could think of.

The players listened very carefully and practiced very seriously.

The effect of this surprise review can only be tested in the final examination room.

At 2022 o'clock on May 5, 11, players from both sides slowly entered the field with their caddy wearing their respective jerseys.

Rome is very fortunate that since the 2007-08 season, the Italian Football Association has stipulated that the Coppa Italia will be fixed at the Olympic Stadium in Rome for the final.

This is also learned from the FA Cup's practice of placing events at Wembley Stadium.

Therefore, although the Italian Football Association claimed before the game that the number of tickets for the diehard fans of both sides was the same, a large number of neutral fan tickets finally flowed to the locals in Rome.

The proximity to the water is the first month, and many Roma fans are ready for the post-match celebrations.

In Piazza Venezia, all the elements of the rally to celebrate the championship have been prepared, waiting for the arrival of fans who paraded here from all directions after the game.

Many bars have already issued notices to postpone closing or even open all night, and have also launched some championship packages, and they are also preparing to make a lot of money from it.

The No.1 teams of both sides are their captain Chen Xiaoliang and right back Calabria.

Roma side, goalkeeper Patricio;

The three central defenders are still the fixed partners of Mancini, Smalling and Ibanez;

Right winger Celik, left winger Malasia;
Christante and Wellertu served as double midfielders;

Chen Xiaoliang played as a central midfielder in singles, and in front of him were center Sesco and Zaniolo, who has been in good form recently.

For AC Milan, the starting goalkeeper is the Frenchman Maignan;
Right-back captain Calabria, left-back France World Cup inevitable main force Special Olympics;

The double central defender is a young combination of the 25-year-old Englishman Tomori and the 22-year-old Frenchman Kalulu;
Double defensive midfielder, Tonali, who is worth 5000 million euros, is on the right, and Ivory Coast international Casey, who will definitely transfer to Barcelona next season, is on the left;
Left forward Portuguese genius Leo, worth 7000 million euros, was given high hopes by the whole of Portugal in the World Cup at the end of the year;
Left winger Belgian Salle Marquez;
The front midfielder is the 29-year-old Bosnian Krunic;
The starting center forward at the top is the 36-year-old Giroud who is getting older and more demonic.

Even the new Golden Globe winner Benzema said in response to the media's question about who will start the World Cup that he is willing to appear on the front line with Giroud.

When Mourinho stepped onto the pitch, he was still confidently waving and smiling at the Roma loyalists.

But his heart was filled with an unprecedented excitement.

This is completely different from when he led Inter Milan to face Bayern in the Champions League final, led Real Madrid to appear in the Nou Camp to challenge the mighty Barcelona, ​​and led Manchester United to win the Europa League.

More like when he led that young Porto team to the UEFA Cup final for the first time.

After going around for 20 years, this stadium is destined to be the place where his coaching career starts again.

But the excitement is the excitement, his self-confidence is still palpable.

Judging from the pre-match layout, AC Milan's starting lineup has all been guessed correctly, and the key requirements of defense have all been rehearsed in a targeted manner.

In his prediction, the next match should be like an open-book exam.

Even before the exam, even the answers have been completely leaked.

But he overestimated one point, that is, the background of Rome and the ability of these players to resist the pressure of the championship.

As soon as I entered the examination room, I hadn't picked up my pen, I was nervous, I was confused, and I forgot all the test questions I had memorized.

Since it was the Coppa Italia, the Penguins did not have permission to broadcast it, so fans from the Red Country once again flocked to the live broadcast platform of Zhongyang Wutai at 3 o'clock in the morning.

He Wei: "The referee for this game is Paolo Valeri. It can be seen that the Italian Football Association has put a lot of effort into the selection of referees for the recent match between AC Milan and Rome."

"Although Valeri is not as famous as Osatu, he is also one of the best referees in Italy at present. He was recruited by FIFA to serve in the video referee team of the World Cup in Qatar."

"Although many fans will think that the work of the video referee team is not as important as that of the referee, but VAR will inevitably bear great pressure in a major competition like the World Cup. If it does not appear, it will definitely be accompanied by controversy."

"So it can be seen that the pressure and role of the video referee team is no less than that of the main referee on the field."

"Okay! With Valery's whistle, the game begins!"

"Giroud kicks off, AC Milan is the first to attack!"
