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

Chapter 244 The new Serie A champion!

"Roma took the lead with a highly suspected offside ball. Is this season's Serie A ending likely to be the most unconvincing one?"

The yin and yang headlines of "Torino Sport" reappeared, and even Juventus' official social accounts couldn't stand it anymore. They took the initiative to send out a dynamic tweet of "Roma takes the lead with perseverance" to draw a line with the former .

Many neutral fans are also wondering, this year's championship is between Milan and Roma, "Gazzetta dello Sport" didn't say anything, why "Gazzetta dello Sport" jumped out in such a hurry to take the rhythm.

Some fans left a message under the social account of "Turin Sports News":

Today, it looks like we are going to win the Serie A championship, plus the Coppa Italia championship, and there is a great possibility of winning the European Cup. Double-double, Copa Award winner, worth 8500 million euros, which 21-year-old in Europe Can the following players have this performance?According to the usual practice, a player can only win the Golden Boy Award once. In 2021, with Pedri as a shield, I asked why "Torino Sport" planned not to give Chen Xiaoliang the Golden Boy Award in 2022?

This comment quickly became the most liked one.

This is exactly where Portman hates her teeth. She doesn't want the Golden Boy Award, which her newspaper has managed to create, to be awarded to someone who refuses to cooperate with her at all, and who is far away from her arch-rival "French Football". The closer the person.

Since its inception in 1956, the Ballon d'Or has become the most important and authoritative individual award in world football.

"Turin Sports Daily" naturally understands this point. Even the FIFA World Player of the Year, founded in 1991, cooperated with UEFA in the Golden Globe Awards and FIFA. After the fairness was questioned, Platini took the opportunity to reform Neither of these two UEFA Player of the Season awards can compare with the Ballon d'Or, let alone a new football award.

So "Turin Sports News" took a different approach and creatively set up the Golden Boy Award, which specifically rewards outstanding players under the age of 21 who have played for European clubs.

Originally, well water does not interfere with river water, especially since the selection methods of both parties are authoritative or old-fashioned most popular media votes. Many media have voting rights for both the Golden Globe Awards and the Golden Boy Awards.

But in 2018, "French Football" established the Copa Award, which also rewards players under the age of 21, but the scope is the same as the Ballon d'Or, open to players from all over the world.

The selection method also abandons the traditional mode of media voting, but invites the living previous Golden Globe winners to vote. In this way, fans will naturally feel that the vision and standards of these top players are higher than those of the media who only watch and comment on football. Professionalism undoubtedly gave the Golden Boy Award a fatal blow in terms of "inheritance" and "professionalism".

In addition, the Women's Football Ballon d'Or has been set up unprecedentedly.

This is no longer moving the cheese of "Turino Sport", but tearing down their foundations.

For this reason, "Turin Sports News" made a big move after being stunned for a year, launched a counterattack, and did not play anything new, and publicly announced the establishment of their Golden Globe Awards and Women's Golden Globe Awards.

In order to make a distinction, their awards are known as the "Golden Globes of the Metropolis".

In this way, Liang Zi of the two media is completely tied up in this era where traffic is king.

"French Football" awarded the Ballon d'Or to Messi, and "Torino Sport" awarded Lewandowski;

"French Football" awarded the women's football Ballon d'Or to Spanish midfielder Putras, and "Torino Sport" awarded the Dutch striker Riek Martens;
"French Football"'s Copa Award selection Chen Xiaoliang's odds skyrocketed, and "Turin Sports" was the first to announce the Golden Boy Award to Pedri.

Recently, as 2022 is about to pass halfway, seeing that Chen Xiaoliang is far ahead in the odds of the Golden Boy Award, the "Turin Sports Daily" not only published a large number of reports questioning the true level of Rome, but also criticized Garvey, Bellingham, Camavin The U21 stars who will participate in the World Cup at the end of the year, such as Jia Jia and Murcia LS Card, have praised and expected a lot.

And call them true future stars who are qualified to stand on the highest stage of world football.

The meaning is self-explanatory.

Fortunately, these off-court factors cannot affect the Roma players who are playing on the court.

After leading by one goal, their attitude towards the game has become more comfortable and calm. Although Torino has played some mature offenses, the gradual leveling of the ball possession rate between the two sides is enough to show the reversal of the situation on the field.

In the 39th minute, Sesco responded to Pellegrini's cross-knock in front of the penalty area, and rarely took a long-range shot directly, but it was slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 41st minute, Torino's left central defender Rodriguez made a mistake when he returned the pass to the goalkeeper Berisha under the pressure of Chen Xiaoliang.

Berisha, who made a mistake in his busy schedule, failed to stop the movement of falling to the ground and catching the ball. He still tried to hold the ball that Abraham had controlled with his hands after falling to the ground, but he pulled Abraham to the ground.

Not to mention VAR, the referee immediately pointed to the penalty spot without even consulting the video referee team!
Berisha and Turin players wanted to go up and argue, but the referee sternly repelled them.

Lou Yichen: "Hey! This kind of ball is going to be appealed. If you want to cancel the penalty, the referee can't express what you think in your heart. Otherwise, if it's not for the sake of Turin's home game tonight, the goalkeeper Bei Risa can't take a card too much!"

Liu Yue: "Yes, if this ball is put in the past, the red dot set meal is the inevitable end."

"However, because the red dot package is too harmful to the punished side, it is easy to cause a complete imbalance in the game situation. Therefore, the International Football Council has narrowed the penalty range of the red dot package in the latest rules."

"The red dot package will only be awarded for cases where violent fouls are used in the penalty area to destroy the opponent's obvious scoring opportunities."

"Although Abraham broke the ball just now, he was not facing the goal, and there was goalkeeper Berisha between him and the goal, so the referee did not judge that this was an inevitable scoring opportunity. At the same time, Berisha's foul It is not a violent foul, so a penalty kick and no cards are in line with the spirit of the current rules."

However, after the joy of getting a penalty kick came, a new problem came again.

Abraham picked up the ball, and Pellegrini, Sesco, and Wellertu all walked to the penalty spot. These four players in the first four sequences of the team's penalty kick all wanted to take this penalty kick.

Pellegrini currently has 9 goals in the league, and if he scores 1 more, he will be in double figures;
Abraham currently has 10 goals and 4 assists. Although he has scored 16 goals in all competitions, 10 goals in the league is still a little less for a striker. He hopes to play this goal and then enter the top 20 in the Serie A scorer list up;
Weilertu is not obsessed with statistics. After all, he often plays as a defensive midfielder. His 6 goals and 5 assists in various competitions are completely good results, but this goal is too important. If he can achieve 2 goals in the first half Leading, then the championship will be a matter of securing the bag;
Seeing that the three of them were actively fighting for it, Cesko voluntarily withdrew.

He currently has 17 goals in the league. If he can score another goal, he can surpass Verona forward Simeone, who also has 17 goals, and rank fourth in the Serie A scorer list alone.

But these private thoughts are nothing worth mentioning in front of the champion.

In the end, before Chen Xiaoliang had time to intervene, several people had discussed the result and let Abraham, who created the penalty kick, take the penalty himself.

Players from both sides gradually returned to their positions, and those outside the penalty area of ​​the station lined up one after another.

Roma tonight wore a dark yellow away jersey with dark blue shoulders, while Torino at home wore a maroon home jersey.

Under the gaze of a group of red, red, yellow and yellow, the referee whistled!Abraham made a two-step approach and hit the ball vigorously with his right foot to the right of the goal!
Turin goalkeeper Berisha completely guessed the wrong direction. Seeing the ball flying to his other side, his body that had already thrown it softened.

In the 42nd minute, Torino 0-2 Roma!

The Roma players immediately gathered around, and Chen Xiaoliang called them one by one to form a circle and hug each other tightly!
At this moment, a camera captured an "interesting" scene.

The moment Abraham scored, Turin captain Belotti raised his hands subconsciously to applaud, but when his hands were about to be put together, he probably remembered that his identity had not changed yet, so he quickly changed the position of his hands. bit, and patted his thigh, expressing regret.

Soon, the first half of the game was over.

Everyone returned to the locker room. Mourinho didn't say a word about tactical victory. Except for some players to warm up and prepare to come off the bench, all the rest of the time was used to warn the players to keep their lead until the last moment. Time to dream.

As long as the whistle is not blown, the game cannot be called a victory.

The players listened attentively, but inevitably, the realization that they were getting closer to their dream league title took up more and more space in their heads.

On the other side, in the locker room of the home team, Torino coach Ivan Juric made some "background theory" rhetoric.

He told the players that if Rome took away the victory and the championship tonight, our home stadium and these players will always be the background for others to win the championship, and will be repeated again and again in many documentaries and football clips in the future. Play it over and over again.

Since then, it has been completely reduced to a background board for disarming and surrendering in front of the champion.

However, if we have left some special memories for each other today and created some difficulties, even if the final outcome remains unchanged, then whether it is tonight or in the future, we can face all of this with our heads held high.

Although the words of the head coaches on both sides failed to arouse the effect of passion, the fluctuations in the hearts of the players on both sides in two directions added together to form an obvious change in the second half.

The Roma players still played seriously, but they started passing the ball more, shifting more in the middle and back, because most of the players wanted to play the game safely to the end, not to play again. Extraordinary issues arose to ensure that the championship could be safely won in the end.

The Turin players, inspired by Ivan Jurich, began to initiate a high-position press on their own initiative.

Anyway, I have lost 2, 2 is lost, 3 is also lost, but waiting to die like a salted fish, this tone is not something the sturdy Turin people can swallow.

In the 51st minute, Torino made a two-for-one cooperation from the backcourt to make a continuous cross pass and then forward.

Initiated by the central defender Rodriguez, it was passed to the left midfielder Pobega in front of him. Pobega immediately hit the right midfielder Rich, and Rich then passed forward to the front midfielder Blakalo. When Lecaro received the ball, Pobega, who had just played the ball, had rushed up at full speed without the ball.

Brekalo nudged with his right foot, and Pobega caught the ball while running. Not only did he get rid of Matic, but he also dribbled the ball into the penalty area through the wide gap between Smalling and Celik!
From the sidelines, it was like a group of standing kickers were suddenly torn apart by a running man.

To say that the player with the most fighting spirit on the field is Pobega, who is on loan from AC Milan and will definitely return to Milan next season.

23 years old, 188 centimeters tall, 79 kilograms, dominant foot is the left foot, and the right foot is equally proficient. In addition, although he is not very good, his balanced physical ability and offensive and defensive ability allow him to be in any Serie A team. The team is on the main rotation position.

Just like those young players who also play in midfield are unconvinced when they see Chen Xiaoliang, Pobega also does not understand why this Red Countryman can be favored by a famous coach like Mourinho, with him as the core To build a team, but he has to be constantly rented out by his home team. After four years of wandering, he has the chance to play in Milan.

After holding his breath, he dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and then vigorously pushed the far corner from a small angle on the left!
Patricio fell to the ground in time to save the ball.

After getting up, the Portuguese goalkeeper loudly reminded his defenders and midfielder teammates not to just look at the ball and not the people in defense, and just let people in so muddled.

Immediately afterwards, Torino took a left corner kick, Belotti jumped high in the middle, overwhelmed Ibanez and shook his head to attack the goal, and the ball missed the post.

On the Turin side, seeing that the team's offense was good in the second half, Ivan Julich immediately replaced Ansaldi, who had already received a yellow card, and replaced him with the young defender Buonciorno. Demba Seck replaced the attacking midfielder Brekalo and formed a double striker combination with Belotti.

This set of substitutions stunned Mourinho.

His own player's "take it for granted" safe play in the second half made him a little uneasy, and Turin's way of replacing offensive players made him feel that Ivan Julic was not ready to stop today. It seems that he is ready to die to the end.

He saw that Abraham was in good form today and played very actively, so he asked Spinazzola to replace Sesco, let Spinazzola play as a left midfielder, and asked Pellegrini to play as a right midfielder. The striker is centered.

This can strengthen the defensive capabilities of the two wings.

Although Spinazzola was very active after playing and fought very hard, but the head coach replaced the main center at this moment and replaced it with a defender, which intensified the Roma players' desire to play a safety ball.

In the 60th minute, Ivan Julic made another substitution, using the 21-year-old striker Pellegri to replace Belotti, who had no interest in fighting.

This Pellegri is an out-and-out genius player.

Born in 2001, he is now 21 years old. In the 2016-17 season, when he was only 16 years old, he already represented Genoa in Serie A.

In the winter window of 2018, at the age of 17, he was bought by Ligue 2090 Monaco for [-] million euros, and he was replaced by Mbappé, who was first rented and then bought by Paris from Monaco that season. His position shows how much Monaco's scouts value and look forward to him.

According to the usual operation of the "black shop" Monaco, in the next 2-3 seasons, Pellegri will gradually increase the number of starts and eventually become the main force. Go up, and finally won the favor of the rich team, and was bought at an eye-catching price, which brought a huge return on investment for the club.

However, there are also times when black shops are blind. Pellegri, who was rented to Turin by Monaco this season, has confirmed that Xia Chuang will permanently transfer to Turin at a price of 500 million euros.

In four years, what caused this European company to lose 1590 million euros?
The answer is a continuous body that can be injured almost from top to bottom.

Since going to Monaco, Pellegri has suffered from hernia, groin strain, hamstring injury and other major injuries that lasted more than [-] days, as well as adductor muscle strain, abductor muscle tear, and wrist fracture. A moderate injury who has been out for dozens of days.

In the rest of the time, I stopped training for more than ten days due to contusions, lumbar problems, tonsil inflammation, ankle sprains, unknown fevers, and biceps femoris injuries. sky.

In short, when you open his injury records, you will be surprised to find that this 21-year-old Italian striker seems to have nothing wrong with him except for the man's lifeblood.

Some media commented that other players play football most of the time and occasionally get injured. He spends most of his time adding treatment experience to the team doctor and occasionally playing football.

In the 62nd minute, Roma made another mistake when they made an inverted pass back from midfield. Demba Sek, who had just come on the field, cut off Wellertu's return pass, then went to the edge of the penalty area and knocked it across to Pei. Legere, the latter took aim at the lower right corner of the goal and pushed!

Fortunately, although the angle is tricky, the speed of the ball is not fast. After Patricio fell to the ground and threw the ball, the ball went out of the baseline.

In the subsequent corner kick, Lukic pushed Pellegrini's waist from behind when he was fighting for the top, and then Pellegrini fell to the ground in pain, slapping the turf with his right hand.

The Roma team doctor rushed into the field. After some treatment, Mourinho replaced him and replaced him with Zaniolo just to be on the safe side.

In the 66th minute, Turin's continuous offensive reappeared.

Demba Sek cuts inside with the ball from the left. In order to prevent being passed by, Celik always chooses the strategy of pressing back and waiting to enter the defensive area to double-team the defense.

However, the energetic Senegalese made an inward cut, leaving him aside and rushing towards Matic's defense zone.

Matic just wanted to call Celik to double-team back and forth together, and Demba Seker made a light return and returned the ball to Pobega who was plugged in later.

As soon as Pobega caught the ball and wanted to dribble, he seemed to have felt a gust of wind blowing towards him from behind.

He turned around and glanced out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly saw Chen Xiaoliang rushing towards him, as if he was about to put the shovel down immediately.

Even though Pobega was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to be careless with his feet.

Everyone is a professional player who plays the midfielder, and the weight of the ball can be evaluated. Although he, like many young people, thinks conceitedly that if AC Milan can build a team around him, he can also play luxuriously. The data and the performance of highlights, but this does not mean that Chen Xiaoliang is not an outstanding player in his eyes.

Pobega picked up the instep of his left foot and rubbed the ball towards the penalty area.

Pellegri inserted it smartly, and before he collided with Smalling and was about to lose his balance, he hit the ball with his forehead!

Although Patricio has already attacked, the action of taking off at the fastest speed and reaching for the ball still failed to stop the ball that was lobbed towards the goal!

Just when everyone watched the ball fly towards the goal with a strange arc, Pellegri fell to the ground, and then with a "bang", the ball bounced back on the angle between the beam and the post. Patricio hurried up and threw the ball on the ground. Fortunately, the goal frame brother helped, and the score was not changed.

However, Pellegri couldn't get up...

Smalling thought at first that he was cheating for a penalty kick by cheating his body, but seeing him lying on the ground with dazed eyes, not even hitting a roll, and not stretching out his hand to appeal to the referee, Smalling knew that the kid was probably injured again. Already...

In the end, playing 6 minutes and 2 shots, Pellegri created the record for the fastest injury to go off the field in Serie A this season. Ivan Julic sighed and replaced him with Croatian striker Pjaca...

Lou Yichen: "I really didn't expect that this young Italian striker's body is so fragile that he can't hold on to a very ordinary physical collision. It is not yet known whether he will leave the field after 6 minutes on the field. A new record, but certainly an embarrassing one anyway."

Liu Yue: "Many talented players were finally affected by injuries. Some were congenital glass people, like England striker Michael Owen, who suffered leg injuries many times in his career without confrontation, and the German midfielder Deisler, after a long injury, eventually developed depression and had to retire at the age of 27."

Lou Yichen: "I hope Pellegri's injury is not serious and he can return to the court soon."

Although leaving the field in a disappointed way, the Turin fans gave Pellegri on the stretcher an encouraging applause.

Mourinho made full use of this period of treatment and leaving the field, called several players to his side, and spoke in earnest.

This unexpected episode of injury and retirement gave him enough time for Roma's players to regain consciousness from a slightly blurred state.

In the 78th minute, Zaniolo faced Chen Xiaoliang's through ball from a long distance on the right side of the penalty area. When he was about to catch the ball and turn around, he was about to form a single goal. Buon was replaced by Ansaldi. Giorno grabbed him from behind and fell to the ground.

The referee decisively showed a yellow card and awarded Rome a penalty again!
After Zaniolo got up, he insisted that the penalty kick was created by Chen Xiaoliang, and he should give Chen Xiaoliang the opportunity to take the penalty kick.

Abraham and Wellertu, who originally wanted to come over to grab free throws, immediately agreed with their teammates when they saw that their teammates were so "knowledgeable".

Chen Xiaoliang laughed inwardly, thinking that he would wait for next season to score points, and now he might be able to kick his feet.

While pushing Zaniolo towards the penalty spot, he encouraged him: "Niccollo, we just agreed that whoever gets the penalty kick will kick it, and you can safely and boldly kick it from the angle you are most sure of." , there are still us outside the restricted area!"

Zaniolo was actually a little nervous...

"This goal is scored, we are really champions!"

After Chen Xiaoliang finished speaking, he pushed his hands behind his back.

Zaniolo walked to the penalty spot, stepped on the turf, and flicked the two slightly coquettish bangs on his forehead.

Outside the penalty area, the five players of Roma are waiting for an opportunity, ready to rush into the penalty area at any time.

On the sidelines, substitute players and coaches stood anxiously in a row as if they were watching the final penalty shootout of a penalty shootout.

Everyone knows that if the goal is scored and the score is 0 to 3, Turin will completely lose the chance to change the ending, and the suspense of this season's Serie A championship will also end here!

In front of the screen, an unknown number of fans of Roma and AC Milan were clenching their fists on their chests and praying devoutly.

"Beep!"

The referee whistles!
Zaniolo didn't act immediately, he took another look at the dancing Turin goalkeeper Berisha, then took two deep breaths, and took a very solid three-step run-up!
"boom!"

The left foot pumps in the middle of the ball!

There is no angle, the kick is in the middle!
Belisha, who jumped to the right, closed his eyes in disappointment in mid-air!
"yeah!!!!!!"

Zaniolo shouted and looked back at his teammates.

And his teammates are excitedly rushing towards him!

In the stands, all the fans stood up and they started applauding.

The Turin bench on the sidelines also politely applauded the Roma team.

Including Italian Football Federation President Gravina, Serie A President Lorenzo Cassini and other officials who came to the Olympic Stadium in Turin today.

It's like welcoming the team that won the championship early before the game, although Rome's "winning the championship early" only took about 15 minutes.

But everyone knows that a new Serie A champion has been born!
