Chapter 44: Keep up the good work

After Roma's bloody sweep of Atalanta last weekend, Liu Heng was voted the Italian Serie A Player of the Month last week, while Roma coach Spalletti also won the award of Best Manager of the Month last week. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Heng told Su Xiaoyou the good news through WeChat, but Su Xiaoyou never responded to him. Liu Heng's phone call to Su Xiaoyou was also turned off. The life of a football player is extremely monotonous, and football games take up most of their time. Therefore, some players will have a conflict with the manager because of their private life and football time. Liu Heng is also clearly aware of this, so he has always wanted to find an ordinary girl like Su Xiaoyou to stay in peace for a lifetime. But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and Liu Heng had to comfort himself that it was just a good thing and a lot of grinding.

In the Serie A standings, Roma continues to dominate the Serie A standings with a two-point advantage, and Liu Heng is chasing the first Icardi by a narrow margin in the scorer rankings.

Today, Roma will host a lonely Udinese. Udinese's record in recent years has been very stable. There is neither the desire to compete in Europe nor the anguish of relegation. Udinese is living an easy life. Rome today is bound to be victorious.

One of the highlights of today's game was: Liu Heng's name did not appear in the starting lineup of the Roma team.

At the pre-match press conference, Italian media reporters, who have always liked to stir up trouble, will not let go of this hot spot to increase their viewing. They threw the stinging question to Roma manager Luciano Spalletti.

Spalletti also thought that these reporters would ask him this, Spalletti smiled slightly after hearing it, and said unhurriedly: "I knew you would ask this, I let Liu sit on the bench in today's game, but I will let Liu come off the bench." I just did it to give him a break, he's been so tired lately. He needs plenty of rest as the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in midweek is even more important. ”

These Italian reporters were obviously very dissatisfied with Spalletti's answer, and if the reporters had written Spalletti's words in their own newspapers, they would probably have been scolded by the editor-in-chief. These journalists did not give up their last hope, and they resorted to a killer move.

"There is an internal source that after the last Serie A game, someone saw you and Liu having a fierce quarrel in the locker room, and finally relied on other players to dissuade them, and it ended. Is this true? ”

Spalletti thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing, I have a good relationship with Liu, there are no problems, I want to ask him if he sees sure it's us, not the locker room next door." ”

Spalletti walked out, leaving behind a bunch of bewildered reporters.

The first half of Roma's game against Udinese went well, and in the case of the veteran Totti's rare start, it was Totti's pass and shot that helped Roma lead Udinese 2-0 in the first half. Totti used his actual game performance to tell everyone who questioned his pension that your uncle is still your uncle. At the beginning of the second half, Spalletti waved the flag, and Liu Heng, who the fans had been waiting for for a long time, was finally going to play. Liu Heng replaced Raul, who scored a goal in the first half but was slightly injured. At the beginning of the second half, the Roma team continued the high-pressure situation of the first half, and the round of offensive kicks like a tide of attacks made Udinese completely unable to find where the door of the Roma team was. The entire Udinese squad was completely pinned down in their own half, supporting a fragile backline that was on the verge of collapse. Liu Heng saw despair in the eyes of the players of Udinese, which was the look that Liu Heng liked to see. Liu Heng scored twice in the subsequent game, completely killing the suspense of the game in the door of Udinese. Liu Heng did not choose to celebrate after scoring the goal, but ran straight in the direction of Roma coach Spalletti. The two hugged each other warmly. Liu Heng had heard about this matter before, so he used his actions to smash the fake news that the outside world slandered the relationship between the two. Roma finally won the visiting Udinese with a score of 4-0, and Roma gave the opponent two consecutive defeats while continuing to lead the Serie A standings with the greatest advantage.

Roma lead the table, something that many fans could not have imagined before the start of the season. But fans thought that the Roma team always had a habit of dropping the chain at critical moments, so they didn't pay too much attention to this matter. They waited for Rome to drop the chain, and then laughed at them.

Spalletti also thinks of this, and before each game he spends a lot of time adjusting the mental state of all the players and getting them to the end to prepare for each game. So until now, a Roma team that is still very stable has been created. However, Roma are about to face the devil's schedule. The next league opponent is Inter Milan and then AC Milan. Finally, they challenged defending champions Juventus. Three tough battles in a row, these are the three touchstones that test whether the Roma team is the real champion team. If the Roma team can successfully defeat these three giants, at least they cannot lose to them, then the Roma team is very likely to return to the glory of the new century this year. Of course, all this will have to be seen on the field. Roma coach Luciano Spalletti took these three opponents very seriously, and he deliberately arranged for technical scouts to go to the games of these three opponents to observe the tactics.

Spalletti is the man with the best memories for Roma fans. Because of Spalletti, they can be very close to the Serie A title. Spalletti was an epoch-making pioneer for tactical change in Serie A, and his 460 strikerless tactics shocked Serie A at the time and shocked the world. It was this tactic that made Spalletti famous, and it was also this tactic that made the Roman prince Totti. In the current world of football tactics, Spalletti's strikerless tactics can still appear on the stage and continue to play its glory. Bayern used it, and Spain used it.

Chen Zhun has now become the hottest young player in European football, all the giants are watching his performance, Spalletti knows that Roma can't keep Liu Heng, Spalletti only wants this Chinese young man to go to a team with him as the core, not a team with commercial value.

The Champions League group stage game is about to start again, will Liu Heng, who played abnormally on the field, regain his form.
