Chapter 152: Tender Ginger Spicy Dead
Updated: 2013-04-21
The goal conceded in the twentieth minute did not arouse Capello's vigilance, Atletico Madrid relied on a positioning fan to confuse Rome's defense, it can only be said that Dick's preparation is quite detailed, in the overall tactics, Capello did not feel that he had anything wrong, just a goal, continue to attack, Atletico can score, why can't Rome score?
I have to say that Capello has fallen into a misunderstanding, although Atletico Madrid is now equivalent to attacking Rome, but every time their attack is fast, and Rome's attack will always be slowed down by Atletico Madrid's attack, which is not normal, but Capello ignored this......
After the restart, Roma launched an attack, they wanted to play the rhythm, but were delayed by Atletico Madrid in the midfield, and then faced a whole back line of Atletico Madrid, they could not have been affected by the previous goal - the time of Capello's tactical arrangement was affected, and it was too late to talk in detail in the short time before the start of the game, Roma's players were just attacking according to the established policy, although their attack was also sharp, But they couldn't create any good chances under Atletico's overall defense......
In the twenty-eighth minute, Atletico Madrid played a counterattack again!
The speed of this counterattack was not very fast, Belleron passed the ball to Cruise in front of him, and Cruz received the ball and turned to force a breakthrough, using his body to protect the ball, and when his teammates came up to answer, he passed the ball to the inserted Belleron, who sent a beautiful diagonal pass when the attention of the Roma defenders was on the two center forwards!
Vicente plugged in at high speed from the left side, and was about to receive a pass from Belleron in the penalty area, Zebina, who came to fill the position, flew to tackle in a hurry, Vicente quickly flicked the ball to the side, dodged Zebina's foot, but was directly mixed by Zebina on his supporting foot, and then Vicente quickly shouted, and then fell into the penalty area......
"Penalty!"
Nearly 50,000 Atletico fans let out a loud roar, and Zebina waved desperately as he got up, indicating that he had not committed a foul, but the referee's whistle had already sounded at this time, and he ran over and pointed to the penalty spot as he ran......
Then he showed Zebina a yellow card - penalty!
The Roma players began to protest, the Atletico players began to celebrate, and there were cheers from the stands, if this penalty was scored, it would be 2-0, and the Atletico fans did not expect to be able to play so smoothly against Roma......
Dick laughed on the sidelines, he really didn't expect it to be so smooth, Zebina was reckless at this time, in fact, if he didn't foul, Vicente wouldn't have too many chances, because he was inserted forward at high speed, and it was impossible to stop so quickly with his characteristics, even if he shot directly, there might not be too many chances, but Zebina's rash tackle directly gave Vicente a chance to create a penalty, although he was still young, but this kind of good situation, if he didn't earn a penalty, it would be called brain water. [No pop-ups. 】
Regardless of whether Vicente deliberately pushed the ball away and put his foot on Zebina's foot, it is a fact that Zebina shoveled Vicente's foot after Vicente got the ball, and even if the Roma players feel wronged, they can't change the referee's decision.
Capello began to shout in annoyance from the sidelines, and Dick put his hands to his mouth and shouted, "Wise judgment! Well awarded by the referee! ”
Capello glanced at Dick, eager to rush over and punch Dick - he was also a former professional player, although he was older now, his physique was still stronger than Dick, and Dick might not be able to beat him if he really fought......
It's just that he can't come over to hit Dick, Dick stopped after shouting twice, ready to watch the player take the penalty - Atletico's first penalty taker is not the top scorer Jadel, but the core of the midfield Belleron, after winning this penalty, Belleron took a deep breath, and then calmly hit the ball into the corner of the goal!
By the time the cheers in the stands rang out, Atletico had already taken a 2-0 lead at home!
Now that Rome had no way out, they could only risk pressing the attack......
"Retreat, defend, prepare to counterattack!" Dick waved his hand in high spirits and shouted at the pitch, now that the home team is two goals ahead, and has begun to defend and counterattack, no one can say anything......
And Roma is beginning to press on the attack, Atletico Madrid's defensive ability is also good, if you can't score one or two goals away from home, it is also very difficult to get back to the home court to get back the gap of two goals, not to mention that the opponent's counterattack speed and threat are really fast, now Atletico Madrid has two center forwards on the field, then their defensive intensity in the midfield must be reduced, and it is not without chance to press the attack.
It's just that since Dick dug such a big hole, he naturally won't let the Roma players jump out easily, and he commanded the Atletico players to retreat while directing the team to start scoring goals with more counter-attacks......
One less midfielder and one more center, the defense is naturally weakened, but correspondingly, the counterattack is also a lot simpler, after the ball in the backfield directly to the front, one of the two centers can control the first drop point, then the probability of counterattack will be much higher, plus Vicente's speed also makes Rome's backline very fearful, although this counterattack is simple, but it also makes Rome's backline extremely annoyed!
If the full-backs don't put in assists, the attacking threat is much less, and if they are inserted, whether it is the height advantage of Jadel and Cruise or the speed of Vicente, it will play a huge lethal role......
However, they have no other way but to grit their teeth and press the attack, as long as there is a goal, then they will face a much better situation, they can also stabilize their defence, lose 1-2 away, and it will be much easier to go back to home......
It's just that Roma's offense has been repeatedly deflated in front of Atletico Madrid's defense.
Capello found himself still underestimating Atletico's defensive ability, Thuram's strength was indeed somewhat ignored by the Italians before, they think that Parma's excellent defense is more because they have Cannavaro and Buffon, in fact, Thuram plays a role in the Parma defense, definitely no worse than those two!
Under Thuram's command, Atletico's defense line has become a whole, Thuram commands the defense line in the back, there is a strong and able Marchena sweeping back and forth in front of him, the front of the penalty area is protected by Makelele, the wings are also very far back, and Roma does not have any advantage in the high-altitude ball competition for the center, which makes Rome's attack quite depressed.
Penetration of the edge of the exclusion zone? Let's get past Makelle's level first. There are a lot of crosses from the wings, but whether it is in the air or on the ground, it will always be Thuram to grab the first landing point and then destroy, Thuram who only cares about destruction is quite strong in defense, Batistuta's header is not particularly good, and Montella is a point-grabbing striker, it is not easy to get benefits from Thuram......
As for pulling out and creating chances with long-range shots, not to mention that the success rate of long-range shots is not high after all, even such opportunities are not too easy to obtain, Makelele will always be the first to appear next to Roma players who try to shoot from a distance, and sometimes it only takes one interference to make their long-range shots fly into the sky.
Batistuta's powerful free-kick in the 32nd minute went just over the post.
In the 36th minute, Emerson's long-range shot went wide of the far post.
In the 37th minute, Totti, who was inserted into the penalty area, almost pulled a point back for Roma with a header, but unfortunately, his header was saved by Molina with a beautiful sideways one-palm, which was also the best chance Roma had in the entire first half!
While Roma's attack is constantly being stopped by Atletico, Atletico's counter-attacks are constantly threatening Roma's goal, and they don't want to keep their two-goal advantage into half-time - that's their minimum goal!
In the 43rd minute, Vicente's dribbling break created another free-kick, and when he dribbled on the wing, he was tackled to the ground by the substitute Tomasi.
In a position about the same as the first goal, Bellerón stood up again.
Atletico still had two centre-forwards and two centre-backs waiting in the box, and the Roma defenders did not dare to relax their attention to anyone this time, with Zanetti following Marchena's side, but Belleron's cross was not for any of the four......
The ball went straight around all the players in the middle and back post and flew straight to the final point, where Camoranesi shook off Candela's defence and fired straight at the far post!
The ball flew diagonally towards the top of the goal, and Antonioli, who had just turned around, couldn't make a save, and the ball plunged into the corner of the goal!
Three to zero! Atletico were far ahead of Roma in the first half!
Capello left the away team's dugout with a blue face - only then did he find out that Dick, a bastard, was attacking Roma...... He's still playing the defensive counter-attacking one! It's just that it's a little more subtle and offensive than that kind of extreme defensive counterattack, and it's still the kind of defensive counterattack in my bones!
Thinking that he was led by the nose by this young man from beginning to end, Capello felt that his face had been thrown to the bottom, and it was ridiculous that he had thought of deliberately playing psychological warfare with Dick before, so that he could know what ginger or old spicy was!
Now it seems that he is indeed older than Dick, but Dick's tender ginger is much spicier than him, and he directly led Roma by three goals in the first half!
But Capello doesn't want to just admit defeat - Inter Milan also led Atletico Madrid 3-1 on the road, but was finally equalized by Atletico Madrid, and what Atletico can do, Roma will definitely be able to do!
He subconsciously overlooked the fact that in that game, Inter Milan took the lead and made the wrong move to give Atletico a chance to equalize, but now, Dick will not give him that chance again......
At the start of the second half, Capello spotted Atletico making a substitution, with Baraja coming on for Cruz......
Atletico revert to a midfield five, and there is no doubt that their defence will be much stronger than they were in the first half!
With such a defence, is it possible for Roma to pull three goals back? What's more, their backline will definitely still be attacked by Atletico's sharp counter-attack!
"It seems that Rome is really going to be bad now!" Many commentators sighed like this after seeing this substitution.
