Chapter 111: Advance to the quarterfinals
Paris Saint-Germain opened the scoring, and played at home, which was a devastating blow for Roma.
They knew the next game was going to be tough, but De Rossi and the others had no intention of giving up.
They are one step away from reaching the quarter-finals, and they will not give up in the face of this temptation.
After the game restarted, Roma's counter-attack was even sharper.
Stroman, De Rossi, Dzeko and others are already desperate.
They frantically chased the ball and actively extended their range of movement in response to Paris's wide range of runs.
At first, they were able to play well, but after a while, they found that they couldn't keep up with the pace of Paris.
......
Old Monet looked at this change, and couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Roma is following the example of Paris and wants to fight by expanding the range of running, but the large-scale running tactics are not just about running, which is also mixed with the practice of running and passing paths, and Roma obviously doesn't know how to run, and they are starting to get anxious." ”
In Taichung, the Chinese Champions League commentator, Duan Xuan pointed it out more clearly.
"The donkey is poor! Rome had no way to deal with it, they had to gamble with this stupid method, but it turned out that their decision was wrong! ”
"Grand Paris is too familiar with this lineup, Roma has only learned the surface skills, but the inner essence cannot be understood, so in the next game, if Roma keeps playing like this, they will not only not be effective, but will waste physical energy in vain!"
The Parisian players were also a little amused.
Everyone else says that the strongest thing in this Parisian team is the attacking ability, but only the Parisian players know that their strongest thing is physical!
Since the beginning of the season, they have been conducting rounds of physical training, which are intense and time-consuming, several times more than other teams, which has increased their fitness value.
In terms of fitness, Paris is second, and no one in world football dares to call it first.
Under the request of Villas-Boas to 'run to death if you can't run', the players in Paris are all physical monsters.
Therefore, fighting for physical fitness with the Parisian players, it can only be said that Roma is thinking too much.
Yi Le naturally felt this, and he immediately ran a lot of distance to speed up the pace, but he did not carry out a substantive attack, mainly feints.
In this case, Roma began to run behind the ass of the Parisian players.
For 30 minutes, without a moment's pause, they were all running non-stop and the Roma players were forced to run at the same intensity.
As a result, the Paris players didn't have any, on the other hand, the Roma players turned white one by one, and they felt like they were about to vomit.
Vomit!!!
De Rossi retched as he propped up his legs, his expression pained, and he knew it was his body's warning of exhaustion.
"I can't run." De Rossi is 33 years old and his strength is not physical.
Putting him on a par with a bunch of young people in their 20s is completely suicidal.
"I can't run anymore." Stroman's lips turned slightly blue, and he gasped as he thrust his waist.
De Rossi turned his head to look at the others and saw that all Roma players were in poor form at this time, and many of them were retching.
"Can't kick like that anymore!"
"Can't kick like that anymore!"
The two said almost at the same time.
Stroman looked at the time, and with five minutes to go, the first half was over.
"Hold on for these five minutes and think about it at halftime!"
De Rossi said with a sad face: "But will Paris give a chance?" ”
Hearing this, Stroman paused for a moment.
He subconsciously looked at the opposite side, and saw the Parisian players staring at their own goals one by one, and their eyes seemed to be glowing with green luster, like hungry wolves.
"These guys...."Stroman felt like the next five minutes were going to be hell.
That's right.
This is hell!
In the next five minutes, Paris launched its most aggressive attack.
Neymar and Mbappe almost stabbed the wings.
Again and again, this made the Roma players complain.
The frantically expended stamina was no longer enough for them to keep running, let alone sprinting at full speed.
They could only grit their teeth and squeeze out the last bit of strength to defend, but they still couldn't completely block the two.
The more pain the Roma players suffered, the more excited the Parisian players became.
Yile's passing allowed them to sprint without fear.
Cavani, Neymar, Mbappe... Even Kurzava joined them.
The impact again and again drained their physical energy, and some people felt their thighs tremble.
Finally, in the 45th minute, Yile stuffed a very beautiful through ball!
Cavani immediately sprinted at full speed.
And Roma's two central defenders, they wanted to chase back the moment they saw Cavani start, they turned their waists, and the next second they suddenly lowered their heads, their pupils contracted.
Leg... Can't move!
They could only watch as Edinson Cavani completed a one-on-one effort and opened the back of the net with ease.
The scene was filled with cheers from Parisian fans.
The elder Monet was overjoyed, but couldn't help but have some sympathy: "Roma chose the wrong way, they shouldn't have fought with Paris, which caused them to fall behind by two goals, and they ran out of energy, and the second half was meaningless." ”
That's right! It really doesn't make sense anymore.
A number of Roma players sat on the ground after the first half.
As professional players, their fitness is not bad and their leg muscles are tough, but they still can't resist 30 minutes of constant speed running.
Is there nothing wrong with Grand Paris?
No!
The players in Paris are also tired.
But they practiced systematically and controlled the rhythm, so they ran about twice as long as Rome compared to Paris.
The end result was the collapse of Rome on all fronts.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
However, the Roma players were demoralized and suffering from both physical and mental torture.
They want water, they want to rest, they want to finish the game quickly, win or lose!
In this case, after Neymar scored another goal on 60 minutes, Villas-Boas made a direct substitution.
Yile, Neymar and Kante were replaced one after another.
In order to deceive Roma, the three of them ran no less distance than the Roma players.
And Paris have already scored three goals, Roma has no possibility of turning the tables, and they have no fighting spirit to speak of.
On 69 minutes, N'Golo Kante came off and Motta came off the bench.
In the 72nd minute, Neymar came off the field and Di Maria came on as a substitute.
On 78 minutes, after no incidents, Villas-Boas replaced Yile and Verratti came on as a substitute.
Yi Le was a little tired, and the game seemed to be easy to win, but it consumed a lot of physical energy.
He gasped for breath and bathed in the applause of the fans, and came to the sidelines to give Verratti a high-five.
Boas stepped forward to help Yile back to the bench, but Yile did not sit down, and insisted on standing still despite exhaustion.
Seeing this scene, Neymar and Kante glanced at each other, and they were immediately a little embarrassed, so they could only get up with their eyes and accompany Yile to stand and look at the field.
At the end of the 93 minutes, when the referee blew the whistle, the Parisian fans broke out into loud cheers again.
"Win! We won! Old Monet's voice was full of joy and shouted: "We won 3:0 at home, and the aggregate score is 4:1 to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!" the pretty lads! ”
The Parisian players also hugged each other with joy.
Buffon walked down and patted Yile's head, he was very comfortable in this game, basically did not have much threat to the ball, and the second half was even more painful in the goal.
He knows that it is thanks to the strong midfielders in Paris, and although he is a little salty, he feels good.
"Guys, we're in the quarterfinals!!"
Motta suddenly screamed, and the Parisian players shook, and then broke out into a ghost crying wolf.
"Oooo We have the quarterfinals, we have to reach the semi-finals, we have to reach the finals, we have to win the cup!! ”
"Hahaha, good kicks guys!"
Kimpemby laughed and said, "Rabiot, I see you retching, easy physical training warning!" ”
Rabiot was suddenly horrified and said, "Fart! I'm smoked by your bad breath! ”
“*******! **! ***! ”
Kimpembe's face darkened, and he suddenly 'spat out fragrant mouth'.
Hahahaha....
The others also watched these two living treasures make a fuss, plus they advanced to the quarterfinals, and their hearts were full of joy.
