Chapter 343: Roman Revenge
Neil Lennon lured the question of the game to the referee after the game, and he always thought that the referee's decision was not good for the Celtics, who were whistled for nearly 25 fouls throughout the game, which was too embarrassing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But no matter what he said, many of the European media after the game were critical of him, and of course they were also typical afterthoughts.
The biggest crime is to force a confrontation with Juventus Stustus regardless of the difference in strength, and Celtic can win Barcelona because they insist on a defensive counterattack style of play. And this time, they insisted on attacking Juventus, but they let Juventus play to their advantage. It is said that Celtic is a weak team and should be a "good defender", but Lennon just didn't have the right mentality, and wanted to take the initiative at home and win three points, which underestimated the strength of Juventus.
Secondly, in terms of arranging troops, the big man is completely cheating on the side of Juventus!
This criticism is simply unreasonable, in fact, Juventus is very limited in attacking on the wing, Celtic did not stand much of a test, the only problem is only Zhang Yuan's wild run on the side caused Matri's goal, but such a problem has been infinitely magnified by the media, which is of course not right.
There were also a number of mistakes, but in short, Neil Lennon, the manager, was largely responsible for the loss.
Alas, this is the consequence of losing, it is estimated that now Neil Lennon's intestines are repentant, if he takes the initiative to attack and wins, he will naturally have another comment, and now he is about to become a street rat if he loses, he is not convinced, as he said after the game, this game should not be lost, we are almost missing a Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan was quite impressed, this guy was tepid throughout the game, but sometimes he can always catch the loopholes at key points, which gives Celtic a headache, Neil Lennon is now thinking about what to do in the next round, unconvinced, but in the face of a three-goal gap, he has lost confidence and does not think that Celtic can perform a miracle at Juventus' home stadium.
Juventus has been in the limelight lately, with a pass and a shot in this game, and Conte also praised him by name after the game, praising Matri's hard work and finally paying off.
Matri's smiling face also has a lot more, after returning to Turin, Matri and his girlfriend invited Zhang Yuan's family of three to dinner, he was grateful to Zhang Yuan, not how much Zhang Yuan promoted him, but Zhang Yuan persuaded him to stay, hard training is something Matri has always insisted on, but Zhang Yuan persuaded him to stay, so that he ushered in a turnaround, and the goal came.
"Come on, buddy! Let's join forces to create a world this season, and the history of Juventus will write us in the future!" Zhang Yuan is still cheering for Matri, he himself doesn't really care about what Juventus' history will write!
Balotelli called Zhang Yuan to congratulate him, this guy really ran away, he didn't listen to Zhang Yuan's opinion, and ran back to AC Milan, Raiola can't be said to be unconcerned about Balotelli, but this guy is too good to toss, back to Milan Raiola is not happy, knowing that AC Milan is in a downward trend, of course he doesn't want to let Balotelli come to this troubled water, but he can't stand the willingness of others, people are serious Milan fans.
Raiola once scolded Balotelli to Zhang Yuan for being disobedient, uh, it seems that Zhang Yuan is not very obedient either.
This time, Balotelli called Zhang Yuan, and in addition to congratulating, he also said that he would come to Turin to visit Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan preached again on the phone, and Balotelli finally got a little impatient, he didn't like others to dictate his life.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, you can do it yourself, remember that you are nothing, you are not a winner in life!" Zhang Yuan finally admonished, he learned through Raiola that Balotelli has really changed, his training is not active, and there are many nonsensical actions in life.
He really wasn't like this before, and he also put the blame on the media, of course, the media exaggerated, but after all, it was he who wanted to die.
There was not much time to rest in Turin, the weekend was away to Roma, Zeman's return to Rome was not very pleasant, the summer transfer market Roma did not invest much, but given the overall economic situation in Serie A, it should be said that it was not bad, but Zeman did not bring much success to the Roma team.
The results of the first half are reasonable, after the winter break, the Roma team fell into a plummeting state, losing to Napoli, Catania and Cagliari, drawing with Inter Milan and Bologna, and not winning one of the five games in the second half, so the results finally made Roma's top management unbearable, and the old coach Zeman was honorably sacked after a big loss to Cagliari on February 2.
Now taking over the Roma coach is Aurelio Andreazzoli, the technical exchange of the first team, Andrea Zoli has no previous experience in the first team, he is mainly to assist the team's manager, and many of Roma's managers have worked with him.
This time to be able to come to power is just that the Roma top management wants to find a coach who is familiar with the Roma players to temporarily top, according to Palotta's idea, he must still want to find a coach who can bring qualitative changes to Rome, and it is so easy to find it in a hurry.
Andreazzoli's first game was not smooth, and they still lost, losing 1:3 away to Sampdoria, who were a promoted team.
The game against Juventus is undoubtedly a big test for him, Juventus plus the Champions League has won three consecutive victories, morale is high, but not everything is bad for Roma, for example, the day before the game, Zhang Yuan was injured on the training ground, twisted his ankle, the injury was not serious, but was announced by Conte to miss the weekend against Roma.
In addition, Juventus is definitely at a physical disadvantage now, and the Roma team can still cause a lot of trouble for Juventus if they can cheer up.
All Italy likes Juventus, all Italy hates Juventus, and the top three in the north are the most hated Juventus.
There was a racial discrimination incident at the Olympic Stadium last season, and this season he returned to Rome again, the whole team of Rome did not need Andrea Zelli to mobilize, and the whole team was full of energy, last season's big score was too embarrassing, and the players also had feelings, they needed to find face in this game, especially Juventus's forward knife Zhang Yuan was also injured, which is simply a good opportunity to create revenge.
And this game Roma team did it, twelve minutes after the opening of the second half, Pjanic took a free kick in front, which was cleared by the Juventus players, Totti got the ball and shot directly outside the penalty area, the ball went straight to the dead corner, and the powerful Buffon was also defeated, saying that this Totti is the door of his national teammate Buffon.
Many strikers have difficulty scoring Buffon's goals, but this is not good for Totti, if you select, Buffon is one of the goalkeepers who have scored the most goals by him, which of course is also the reason for the number of confrontations between the two of them, and the number of other goalkeepers who have played against Totti is less.
On the night of February 16, Buffon was unfortunate enough to be hit again, and Roma also relied on this goal to beat Juventus 1-0 at their own home, avenging last year's big home defeat to Juventus and the first half away defeat to Juventus.
These three points are very critical, on the one hand, Rome with these three points, shorten the gap with the previous European zone, ushered in the first win of the new coach, but also the first win after the start of the second half, and put their enemy Juventus to the pit, Juventus after the loss, in how many cases and Napoli distance is 5 points, if Napoli wins, then Juventus's score difference is only 2 points, will this first throne change hands?!
Juventus played poorly in this game, the whole team was in a slump, and only completed 7 shots on goal in the whole game, which was really bad, less than the 10 shots against Celtic, the lack of Zhang Yuan seemed that everyone was not scoring, and Giovinco and Matri did not have anything to do.
Conte was quite unhappy with the defeat after the game, the quality of the attack was too poor, and only two shots on target were taken from 7 shots in the game, which was also very bad, because the Roma team was not very good at defending.
Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, Conte is helpless, saying that he has dependence on Zhang Yuan, he admits it in his heart, Zhang Yuan is completely enriched with a variety of tactical plays, Giovinco lacks confrontational power, Matri didn't get any shooting opportunities in this game, no matter how good the state is, when teammates don't pass the ball to his route, it's useless.
