Chapter 122: This Is Professional Football
The argument between the players and the referee, the game time was unconsciously in the fifty-fifth minute, and Parma was still 1:2 behind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shen Hao hung his head: "Although Zhang Shujie's free kick didn't score, the quality is still quite high. ”
Chen Hui nodded and looked at Shen Hao: "I remember, he doesn't seem to have deliberately practiced free kicks, right?"
"It's true that I haven't seen him practice alone in training, but Guidolin has arranged team training, haven't you seen it?"
"I've seen it, I didn't think his free kick was so arc and power. ”
"Training and competition are always a little bit different. I said you don't bother about this, watch the ball, watch the ball. ”
The eyes of the two returned to the pitch, Totti was dribbling the ball, Mariga fell to the ground from the side to tackle, Totti stumbled and fell to the ground, and the referee immediately blew the whistle. And called Mariga to his side and gave him a free yellow card.
Totti, who had fallen on the lawn, covered his ankle and looked injured. Roma fans were worried about their prince, and Spalletti, who had been sitting in the dugout, also walked to the sidelines for the first time and looked at Totti with some nervousness. Moments later, he beckoned Baptista on the bench to warm up.
Everyone understands that Spalletti has plans to make a substitution.
Totti gritted his teeth and barely walked a few steps with De Rossi's support, and when the referee asked if he could continue to play, Totti shook his head and said that he could not play any more.
Rome needs substitutions. No. 10 Totti is down, No. 19 Baptista is up.
Baptista, from Brazil, is a versatile player who can play as a striker or as a midfielder. Spalletti put him on the pitch to play with Vucinic in a two-centre-forward configuration, while De Rossi mentioned the midfield position, and Roma's formation changed to 4-3-1-2.
Spalletti had no plans to make a substitution, but Totti's injury came suddenly, and Baptista, who came on urgently, had a short warm-up time. I'm afraid I won't be able to play at my best in five or six minutes.
Such incidents are not uncommon on the football pitch, and last-minute substitutions are inevitably overstretched, unprepared, and have some impact on tactics. But no matter what, the injured players still have to be replaced, and the injured players can't barely support themselves.
Totti was off the pitch and the Roma fans gave him the loudest applause. Spalletti patted him on the back, and the staff draped his coat over him and asked the team doctor to treat him.
Parma's players and fans were happy that Roma's spiritual leader had gone off injured, and that couldn't have been better. Chen Hui and Shen Hao also had gloating expressions, although they affirmed Totti's ability, but who called Totti not Chinese?
With a nonchalant smile on his face, Guidolin told Panucci that Totti could step up with more assists since he wasn't there. He also asked Córdoba to warm up, and it seems that the loss of Totti's Roma team gave Guidolin a boost of confidence and dared to let go of the attack.
However, what happened next was a huge blow to Guidolin. This blow is not that the team has conceded another goal, but that Li Mu is injured.
In the fourth minute after Totti went off the field, Li Mu, who was dribbling the ball, was brought down by Taddai. Spalletti was gesturing at the players on the sidelines, and a few seconds later, Taddai tackled Limu. No one knew if this was Spalletti's secret instruction, and everyone only saw that Li Mu was injured in the same way as Totti. Naturally, the initiator Tadei was also punished with a yellow card.
Zhang Shujie helped Li Mu up: "Papaya, is there anything wrong?"
"It's fine, but ...... This game is probably not going to be played. ”
Zhang Shujie couldn't help frowning after hearing this, Morone walked up and asked Li Mu, "Li, are you feeling okay?"
Li Mu shook his head: "My ankle hurts badly." ”
Morrone didn't ask, a worried look on his face.
The referee also made a brief inquiry to Li Mu, and Li Mu said that he needed treatment, so the referee asked him to go outside the field so as not to delay the game.
Li Mu limped off the field to receive treatment. At this time, Parma's players and fans were not happy, and the core of the organization was injured, which is not a small loss.
Guidolin's gloomy face signaled for the referee to make a substitution, replacing Li Mu with Córdoba. His original intention was to replace Castellini with Córdoba and then push Li Mu up front, but Li Mu's sudden injury disrupted his tactical plan.
Rome lost Totti, and Parma lost Limu. The organizational core of both teams is not present, but Roma and De Rossi can be qualified as the playmaker's midfielder, but Parma has no one with the same organizational ability as Li Mu.
Manzo told Guidolin that Zhang Shujie had made a cameo in the reserve team, but that was when the team did not have a center forward, which was equivalent to a "no-striker tactic". At present, there is Palowski on the field, and withdrawing Zhang Shujie to the front waist will not achieve the expected effect at all.
Tactics in football are not something that can be done simply by putting a player in a certain position, it has to be adjusted according to the needs of the whole team. Guidolin can't just put Zhang Shujie up and replace Palowski just because he once played the front midfield, so as to play a striker formation.
Now let's see if Cordoba can replace Li Mu.
Córdoba's skills are good, and South American players usually play well at their feet, but the gap between his overall view and Li Mu is still obvious. He couldn't see the movement of the two forwards in the front court, and could only split the sides, so it was no wonder that Guidolin trusted Li Mu more than him.
Thankfully, the current situation on the pitch is not bad, Roma are without Totti, Panucci has more assists up front, the knife-carrying defender is different from other Italian defenders, he likes to attack the front, help his teammates score, and often score goals himself.
As a defender, Panucci has scored 131 goals for club and country so far in all competitions – a statistic that would put many midfielders to shame. At the end of his career, Panucci even staged a succession of goals. Last season at Roma, Panucci played a total of 27 league and Champions League games, scoring six goals. You have to know that Panucci is only a defender and is thirty-six years old.
But it is a pity that Roma does not look at age and status, and does not look at salary and ability, the club believes that Panucci is too old and his salary is not low, so he no longer chooses to renew his contract with Panucci after the contract expires, and Panucci came to Parma through a free transfer in a fit of anger.
Today he represented his new club to challenge his old club, which is not very new, and he very much wants to play at the level of his "defender with a knife" and score a goal for Roma to see.
Killing the old owner abounds in football. For example, in the 2003/2004 season, Elber was sold to Lyon by his old club Bayern Munich, and later defeated Bayern 1-0 in the Champions League, knocking out the German giants, and the goalscorer was Elber.
The most famous example is probably Morientes, also in the 2003/2004 European Champions Cup, in the quarterfinals, Morientes, who has left Real Madrid, represented his new club Monaco and his old club in a narrow meeting. In the first leg, Monaco lost 2-4 to Real Madrid, and Morientes scored a crucial away goal for Monaco with a header past Casillas just before the end of the game.
Perhaps no one cared about the goal at the time, and the star-studded Real Madrid were more than two notches better than Monaco. However, in the second leg, Monaco defeated Real Madrid 3-1 at home. The two teams were 5-5 on aggregate over two legs, but Monaco eliminated Real Madrid and advanced to the semi-finals thanks to an extra away goal.
In both games, Morientes scored two goals. He said in an interview: "When I saw Real Madrid eliminated, I felt like I was split in half, half joyful and half painful. ”
The star, who loved Real Madrid dearly, ended up not being respected by the club's hierarchy. It is worth mentioning that in the 2002/2003 season, Real Madrid's main center forward was occupied by Ronaldo, and Morientes could only be used as a substitute. On April 5, 2003, Morientes came off the bench in a game where Real Madrid trailed by one goal, and Morientes scored two goals in quick succession to help the team win the defeat. While the fans were celebrating the victory, perhaps no one remembered that it was Morientes' 27th birthday, and the goal-scorer could only say to himself in his heart: Happy birthday.
At the end of the season, Morientes was sold to Monaco for a bargain, and his loyalty was not rewarded with Real Madrid's trust and return, and even the fans did not feel much regret about his departure.
So ruthless! So ruthless! But this is professional football, beautiful and cruel.
Yesterday's Morientes and Elber were similar to today's Panucci, but the first two both scored in the game of their old club, and it is still unknown whether Panucci can score today.
Córdoba split the side, the assist forward Panucci crossed from the left side, Zhang Shujie nodded the ball in front of the penalty area, and Doni lifted the ball over the crossbar. Parma got the first corner of the game.
Morrone drove a corner kick, but no one from Palowski and Zhang Shujie reached the ball and was knocked out of the box by Doni with both fists. Panucci, who had been hovering outside the box, lifted his foot and fired a long-range shot that flew into the stands.
Doni takes a goal kick and Roma counter-attack. De Rossi showed Roma that there was more to Roma than just Totti with a powerful volley, and Baptista was proving to the manager that he could get a regular position, but his shot was too straight for Mirante to easily confiscate.
After a round of attack, the game was deadlocked for about three or four minutes, and Parma attacked again. Zhang Shujie was tightly entangled by Mex's control of the ball, and the shot had no angle, and he couldn't pass it after thinking about it. He passed back to Morrone, who crossed diagonally to the right and Panucci provided another assist.
He crossed the penalty area near the baseline, Zhang Shujie hit the ball with his left foot, but it hit Doni's body, and Mexes hurriedly broke it with a big foot and didn't give Parma a chance to make up for it.
Panucci has been very active in these few minutes, and without Totti on the field, he has also been a lot less contained and can boldly cut forward. De Rossi is Roma's second core, but De Rossi is a pure midfielder who can't be interspersed between midfielders and strikers like Totti. Vucinic and Baptista are capable but can't compare to Totti.
Rome was missing Totti, and Parma activated Panucci.
After a few hard work, Panucci finally waited for the moment he wanted most.
Cordoba passed the ball to Palowski, but after Palowski got the ball, there was no space to shoot, Zhang Shujie asked for the ball on the side, and Palowski passed it. At this time, Roma's backline was not fully in place and was a little messy. Zhang Shujie took advantage of this to advance with the ball, and Mexes did not leave an inch. Zhang Shujie stretched out his arms to support him, half-turned on the line of the big penalty area and volleyed hard, the ball hit the tip of Mex's outstretched right foot and bounced to the left.
Panucci had already come up.
Juan also came up.
One is a defender for Parma and the other is a defender for Roma. When the defenders saw each other, they were very red-eyed.
Panucci was one step quicker than Juan and grabbed the ball first. His position was not very suited to shooting, on the edge of the left side of the box, at an angle of about 30° to the goal, and Doni also thought he should be a cross, standing slightly forward in order to intercept the ball halfway. Panucci looked at the goal and suddenly chose to shoot.
Panucci watched as the ball flew past Doni's fingers, smashed at the post, and bounced into the net!
The next moment, he began to run wild on the court with impunity.
Twenty-two years of career, one hundred and thirty-two goals, that's a defender's statistic.
Panucci was a little crazy, and his throat-tearing cries could still be heard by his teammates as he was pinned down under him. He was ruthlessly abandoned by Roma this summer, and this winter he ruthlessly penetrated the Roma goal.
The Roma fans in the stands were quiet. Panucci saw that the banner with his name on it was still flying in the wind.
Christian, welcome home.
It turned out that it was not the fans who abandoned him, but the club. He also understands that his own celebration just now hurt the Roma fans. However, he is now a player for Parma, playing for Parma, Roma is his opponent.
This is professional football.
Beautiful, brutal.
