Roma are taking this game very seriously, they are now only five points behind Milan, but their form has been a little worse after the New Year, they were knocked out of the Coppa Italia and the morale of the team was restored with a 4-0 home win over Juventus in their last game.

Capello was full of praise for Trapani in his pre-match press conference.

"Trapani is not an easy team, they have only just been promoted from Serie B this season, but they have already shown that they have what it takes to establish themselves in Serie A! Coach Colini's call for European competition is in line with their quality in my opinion, so we have to be extra careful in this game! ”

In his tone, he looked at Trapani as a huge stumbling block to the league title, but he also expressed his team's confidence afterwards, followed by a big win over Juventus, saying that Roma are capable of beating Trapani and that the key is that the team needs to stay focused.

Roma's flag, Totti, was as cautious as Capello, and when he arrived at the Grand Hotel Colani, he said in an interview with Trapani's local television station "Passing Through" that Trapani was not so easy to deal with.

'Now we need to win all the games while waiting for Milan to make a wrong move. The Champions League will certainly take some of Carlo Ancelotti's team and we are ready to take advantage of that! ”

"I've been very impressed with Trapani's performance so far this season, they have only lost one game recently and we really have to be vigilant in this game! It was a wonderful thing to beat Juventus 4-0 and I hope we can continue our form against Juventus and we are confident of winning! ”

Unlike other coaches, Hugo is very daring to express his thoughts to the players, for this game, Hugo's goal is actually arbitrary, it is good to get one point, it is better to get three points, and it doesn't matter if there are zero points.

The score of this game is not in his plan, he told his players without hesitation, "They are definitely a strong team, it is certainly not easy to deal with, you may have a lot of pressure in your heart, but now I tell you, this game does not need any pressure, I have no requirements for this game, even if there are requirements, it is just hope that we can play our own characteristics!" ”

According to the plan that Hugo and everyone talked about before, in the league against the weak team must ensure three points, face the middle team to try to fight for three points, face a strong team like Roma can take it, it doesn't matter how many points you can get.

So all in all, during this period of preparation, Trapani's players have relaxed a lot of mentality, plus the recent record is really good, everyone's mood is better, the training atmosphere is very relaxed, and the players are more confident and confident when they are interviewed.

In an interview with German media outlet Bild, Klose said that the team is in a good atmosphere right now and is absolutely capable of causing problems for Roma.

In an interview with Roma Sport, Miku also said that we are ready and we will give Roma a little color at the Barbera Stadium.

There is still no tense atmosphere in the locker room on the day of the game, what should be said should be arranged, Hugo has made it clear and clear, the players in the locker room are giggling and preparing to play, and when it is time to play, Hugo shook hands with each of them and went out of the locker room.

Compared with Trapani's ease, the strings of the whole Roma team in the away team's locker room are very tight, they need these three points too much, each coach is actually no different from Hugo, he has a scale in his heart, which game should go all out to win, which game can be slightly lowered the goal, there is a clear concept, against Trapani, this is a game that must be won for Capello, it is unimaginable to expect Lecce in the relegation zone to stop Milan at the San Siro Stadium, if Roma wants to retain the suspense of the championship, No one must be left behind.

Even if he repeated his thoughts, Capello still used the little time he had before the game to set up the players, and he didn't dare to relax at all.

From a fair point of view, Capello really deserves to be a generation of famous teachers, Rome's current lineup, in fact, is already very bad, and it is Totti who can get his hands on such a super star, what Cassano and so on are more famous than strength, compared with the top three in the north, Rome's lineup is undoubtedly much worse, and Capello can bring this team to the point of biting Milan is already the limit.

Roma lined up a 442 formation, goalkeeper: Pellizzoli

Defender: Zebina, Samuel de Raspanaci

Midfielder: Tomasi Emerson da Cott Lima

Forward: Toti Cassano

Last summer, Roma brought in Romanian central defender Zivu from Ajax, and also recalled Brazilian Roberto Mancini from Venice, these two players are the main players of Roma this season, and have participated in many games, and Roma's good results are inseparable from these two, but they are also unable to play in this game due to physical reasons, and Candela is absent.

Trapani's injury situation has improved during this period, with the exception of Franck Franck Ribery, who needs to recuperate from an ankle injury.

Trapani fielded the regular 352 formation for the match.

Goalkeeper: Kameni

Defender: Barzagli Victor Peruso

Midfielders: Majo Mascherano Pizarro Miku Evra

Forward: Tonik Loseze

After the start of the game, Roma seemed very cautious, Trapani was not very anxious, Trapani's formation was a little behind, Trapani still showed more jealousy of Rome's ability at the beginning, the Roma team was not in a hurry to attack after controlling the ball, and slowly fell on the field, this is their habit, not conceding the ball is the most important thing, the team needs a little time to get used to Trapani's rhythm, and the players also need a little time to adapt to the game.

As a result, in the first ten minutes, Roma dominated possession, but Trapani was in a better position in defence, and neither side was able to create any chances, not a single shot on goal!

Totti and Cassano certainly have the ability, but their strengths are excellent technical ability and good ball control, but if you want to get rid of the break, then they are not the top experts, they have very few passing routes after getting rid of them, and Trapani's players are also good in positioning, so they are difficult to threaten.

Of course, for a player like them, only two or three chances in a game are enough to kill the game, so everyone doesn't seem to be very anxious.

Mascherano's key task today is to keep up with Totti, Totti is taller than him, but not as fast as Mascherano, Totti in the 6th minute, took the ball to get rid of Mascherano, but was so fast that Mascherano cut off the football, and Mascherano is really scared of anyone when it comes to turning around.

Hugo unscrewed a bottle of water on the side of the pitch and took a few sips, his strategic arrangement for this game said that the first stage was to strictly guard against Roma's strong attack at the beginning, and the later stage will gradually exert strength.

Who would have thought that the Roma team was actually very calm, and they also maintained a lot of patience for this game that they were determined to win, and they were worthy of the team led by Capello, and stability was overwhelming.

After drinking the water, Hugo walked to the sidelines and shouted: "Keep the ball!" Don't let them lead you by the nose! ”

This means that the players have to control the ball and start to escape the passive defensive posture, which is to cause a little trouble for Roma.

The players quickly grasped what he meant, and the midfielders of Miku and Pizarro began to consciously start to control the ball at their feet instead of rushing forward, and Patrice Evra and Maggio on the wings also began to consciously step forward to fight for gaps in passes.

Capello's 442 is a parallel position, which gives the impression that the offense and defense are more balanced, but Rome's personnel composition today is not balanced in attack and defense, and neither Tomasi nor Lima has contributed too much in attack.

Lima is old, this season is still in Rome as a semi-main team, attended many games, but there is no sharpness in the past, and Tomasi is not the main candidate under Capello, he has been a substitute for a long time, originally Tomasi's position was the position of Mancini Jr., and he could not replace Mancini Jr.'s role, Tomasi put more energy on defense instead, maybe this is also Capello's intention, Trapani has shown the characteristic of being on the side in recent games, The two wing-backs were very active, and it was thought that the technically capable central link was the secondary attacking tool of Trapani.

However, when it comes to Trapani's two double centers, in fact, Trapani is not so difficult to understand when he makes a fuss on the side, Toni is a strong power center, Klose is an opportunity-grabbing center, the two types are different, but the pressure on the opponent in the penalty area is very great, no team's defense in Serie A can pack a ticket to limit the combination of Toney and Klose in the penalty area, then they must find a way to limit Trapani's side, Capello must also have this consideration.
