Chapter 138: Crazy Red Devil 3
How do you help the team out of trouble?
Spalletti's only option was to attack. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But how to attack?
Mancini Jr., who performed well in the last game, has not had a few breakthroughs until now, and even has few chances to connect the ball, and once he receives the ball, he will face the siege of two or three opponents.
Vucinic, who replaced Tadei, couldn't even hold the ball under Carrick's careful care, so how could he attack? As for the wolf king Totti, under the joint defense of Ferdinand and Brown, he can't even touch the football, so where can he shoot?
The absence of Toneto, Perrotta and Tadei left Roma's midfield lacking speed, power and impact.
How can such a Roma break through Manchester United's defence?
Spalletti, who was frowning, looked at the bench and frowned even tighter.
Okaka, Fati, A-Rossi, Ferrari, De Fenti and the injured Taddai and goalkeeper Kurci have more trust in these players than Spalletti. As you can see from the number of appearances they have made in the league, apart from centre-back Ferrari, the most starts in the league on the bench is A-Rossi, with only five, Fati two, and Devinti has not even a minute in the league.
Spalletti turned his head to look at United's bench and sighed.
Alan Smith, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Richardson, Fletcher, Patrice Evra, each of them were ready to play.
Although Roma has been in second place in the league this season, they have the title of a giant, but there is no liner for a giant. As soon as you compare it with the real giants Manchester United, the disadvantages are unmistakable.
Bench thickness.
A big team must have a squad and strength to fight on two fronts.
Obviously this is something that Rome does not have.
Pizarro, the heart of their current midfield, is still half of the ownership they bought from Inter Milan for €6 million last summer.
Manchester United, on the other hand, have been injured or suspended at one point this season, but they have remained competitive on all fronts, topping the Premier League, reaching the last four of the FA Cup and the last eight of the Champions League. Now they are being beaten head-on, and the semi-finals may just have to wait for the referee to blow the whistle for the end of the game.
But were the Romans so willing to accept defeat?
Of course not!
When Spalletti looked inside again, the Romans were organizing a new attack.
The 4-2 score pushed them to the edge of the cliff, and they either gave up jumping off the cliff directly, or the Jedi counterattacked to find a glimmer of life.
The Romans chose the latter.
After the midfielder and De Rossi continued to cooperate to dodge Yu Liang's pressing, Pizarro passed directly to Mancini Jr. on the left. Mancini Jr. couldn't shake Neville off his bike in succession, but he drew the attention of Neville's defence and took advantage of his unpreparedness to distribute the ball to the wing. Panucci, who came up with the assist, got up and crossed after going down, and the ball flew to the edge of the box with a strong external spin. At the end of the assist, Mex's shot was on target, and the ball was wide of the post against the turf. No one expected that when the attacking players in the front court were looked to death, the central defender actually stepped forward to the edge of the penalty area to complete the shot.
Although Mex's shot did not hit the woodwork, it boosted the morale of the Romans.
The Romans, in the face of adversity, broke out with a strong fighting power, and the continuous attacks threatened the door of Manchester United, and at this time Manchester United's midfield had problems.
In the 34th minute, Roma attacked.
Pizarro dribbled the ball in the middle, and Yu Liang immediately defended it.
This time Pizarro didn't entangle with Yu Liang, and when Yu Liang rushed towards him, he immediately passed the ball to De Rossi.
Yu Liang, who was halfway through the run, immediately turned around and rushed towards De Rossi, and at this time, Carrick, who was behind Yu Liang, also rushed towards De Rossi, handing over Vucinic next to him to his teammates.
With his back to the direction of the goal, Yu Liang didn't notice Carrick.
And Carrick rushed to De Rossi before Yu Liang, so he thought Yu Liang could see his movement.
In this case, both men rushed to De Rossi at the same time.
As a result, there was a gap behind them.
De Rossi slipped the ball past the junction between Carrick and Yu Liang, and Pizarro, who cut forward, received the ball and fired a through ball through the United defence, before Totti accelerated away from Brown and fired a shot wide of the post.
Watching the ball fly out of the bottom line against the post, Yu Liang exhaled, and then glanced at Carrick.
At the same time, Carrick also glanced at Yu Liang, and there seemed to be a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Yu Liang looked at Carrick's complaining eyes, ignored it, and immediately threw himself into the game.
Ferguson, who was sitting on the bench, immediately frowned when he saw Yu Liang and Carrick rushing towards De Rossi at the same time.
But he didn't make any adjustments.
The game continued, and Roma's attack returned.
This time, when rushing towards Pizarro, Yu Liang made a gesture towards Carrick. He just wanted Carrick to complete his mission.
Although Ferguson adjusted his tactics before, he did not make adjustments when defending Roma, which means that Carrick's main task is to keep an eye on Vucinic.
Through the attack just now, Pizarro seems to know that there is a tacit understanding between Yu Liang and Carrick.
So when he saw Yu Liang rushing towards him again, Pizarro made a pass to De Rossi, deceived Yu Liang's center of gravity, and then accelerated over.
However, he was not able to get rid of Yu Liang completely, and Yu Liang was still following him closely and interfering with him at this time.
But the moment he got rid of Yu Liang, Carrick rushed towards him.
In order to successfully attract Carrick and Yu Liang's defense, Pizarro slowed down, and when Carrick rushed up, he pulled the ball back, dodged the two of them, and then distributed the ball to Panucci on the wing, Panucci took a lateral step and passed the ball to Panucci at the edge of the box.
It was the first time in the game that Panucci had won the ball unguarded.
He adjusted a bit on the edge of the box and had a shot in time before Ferdinand could defend in place.
The speeding ball raced towards the far corner of the goal, and Van der Sar kicked his arms lightly in front of the goal to keep the ball out of the goalline. Gary Neville, who arrived on the way, immediately cleared the ball off the line.
The Roma were awarded a corner.
Zivo and Mexes both rushed to the United penalty area to get ready to go over, but Totti's corner was picked off by the onrushing Van der Sar.
After winning the ball, Van der Sar drove straight to the midfield, found Ryan Giggs, and set off a counterattack from Manchester United.
Roma were empty at the back, so Panucci and De Rossi, who stayed at the back, could only hope to freeze United's counter-attack in midfield, so they focused on Ryan Giggs with the ball.
One person dragged back, and one stepped forward to rob.
As long as they can choke Ryan Giggs, they can freeze United's counter-attack.
De Rossi was unsuccessful, though, and before he could get up, Giggs sent the ball to the right with a diagonal cross from the outside of his instep.
After Cristiano Ronaldo, who was inserted at high speed, won the ball, he shot directly into the net at the edge of the penalty area, 4-0.
"Cristiano Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the fourth goal of the game, it was so beautiful. With an aggregate score of 5-2, Manchester United has already locked in the semi-finals in advance, and Manchester United is really crazy in this game! Although the Roma had repeatedly stressed before the game that the goal was to qualify, it seems that they are not fully prepared yet! (To be continued.) )
