Chapter 259: Now, the Phase Is Broken......
βGoalοΌ The ball is in! β
When he saw the referee Tagliavento pointing his finger to the middle circle, the Sky Sports Italian commentator finally shouted the goal, but added a sentence before, "The referee signaled that the goal is valid......
There is no such sentence in the general goal, the commentator somehow said such a sentence, and after saying it, he also found that he had made a mistake, if it was heard by someone who cares, isn't it doubting the fairness of the referee? After realizing that it was not good, the commentator left to praise the goal to cover up the "unintentional" words just now, "The ball is in!" The ball is in! A powerful header! Goalkeeper Dida couldn't let go at all, he even made a save! Pretty! A clean header! It was Zhang who scored the goal! Sheet! β
"Great Zhang! Magical Zhang! β
"The ball is in! Roma lead AC Milan by one goal! β
Following the commentator's words, the Rome Olympic Stadium has become a sea of cheers, and the Roma fans are still haunted by the goal that was blown off just now, but they didn't expect the team to score one so quickly, it was still Zhang Tiehan, they were excited about the goal, and some fans even shouted the slogan, "You have the referee, we have Zhang!" β
"You have referees, we have Zhang!"
Soon this slogan swept the entire stadium, and everyone who heard the slogan did not have a good face, and the worst face was the referee Tagliavento, who naturally referred to him, and he was questioned by 100,000 Roma fans.
Tagliavento didn't have a good impression of Rome in the first place, and now he doesn't have a good opinion of it.
β¦β¦
After seeing the referee signal that the goal was valid, Zhang Tiehan ran to Mancini excitedly, this goal is inseparable from Mancini's watch, he and Mancini came to a big hug, and raised his fist to the sky loudly. A roar of excitement comes out of your mouth!
That's amazing!
The direction he was heading was referee Tagliavento, but everyone felt that Zhang Tiehan didn't do it on purpose, after all, he was very excited to score just now.
But the referee Tagliavento felt that he did it on purpose.
I didn't mean to, why did I yell at myself...... That's like a madman...... But why should I bother with a madman? Tagliavento's heart and liver trembled as he was yelled. But he still pretended not to care, just watched Rome's celebration, and after a while, he walked over and told Rome to stop celebrating and prepare to kick off again.
It would have been nothing.
After all, a normal game doesn't give much time to celebrate, but this is the Olympic Stadium, and it's normal for Roma to celebrate a minute of goal celebration, and if it's at the San Siro, AC Milan will do the same. This is the unspoken rule of football matches in private, Tagliavento doesn't seem to know this rule, Zhang Tiehan hugged a few teammates, and before he had time to do anything, he was asked to restart the game.
Even if Roma is dissatisfied, they must go back and prepare for kick-off, otherwise AC Milan will take advantage of the opportunity to score, and it will be a normal goal.
β¦β¦
The game is back on.
AC Milan launched the scoring. However, they didn't have much morale and didn't pose much of a threat to attack. Soon the football was snatched away by the Roma players and launched a counter-attack, and the game quickly returned to the 'original' rhythm, Roma dominated the field, although they were defending and counterattacking, but it seemed that they were even playing a little bit against AC Milan.
AC Milan players are out of form, while Roma players are 15 per cent at their best.
No one expected the game to turn out like this.
Drinel in the dugout looked delighted. He was worried that if the team was blown off a goal, the game shape would suddenly change, but his worries were unnecessary, the game shape did not change, but the team played better. This made him quite happy, and at the same time, he also admired Zhang Tiehan in his heart.
Blown off one goal, and soon scored a second one, where in the world can you find such a good player?
It's hard, it's hard.
On the other side, Ancelotti looked very helpless, he thought it would be the turning point of the game, but he didn't expect the opponent's table to get better and better, and AC Milan's table to get worse and worse, and the game became like this.
It's hard to accept.
His biggest fear is that the team will concede another goal, and now it is impossible to make any adjustments, and the only thing he can do when the first half is about to end is to pray to God that the team will not concede any more goals.
On the field, Zhang Tiehan is still the most active person.
He ran back and forth, constantly inserting and impacting AC Milan's defense, and the various commentators kept repeating, "It's Zhang!" ", "He broke through with the ball", "He passed", "Zhang's shot! "It's Zhang again" and so on, the word Zhang is repeated several times a minute, as if the game is played by 21 people plus Zhang Tiehan, not Roma and AC Milan.
In this regard, Berlusconi on the rostrum was disappointed with AC Milan.
He originally thought that AC Milan would come to Rome and defeat Roma with an absolute advantage, and then AC Milan's league shape would be much better, and they would still have a lot of competition with Juventus, but he didn't expect Rome to have an advantage, the game was like this, and the score was like this.
In the league, AC Milan is behind Juventus and Roma is concerned.
In the first half of the season, Juventus defeated Roma, and AC Milan lost to Roma, the gap is three points, and now the gap between AC Milan and Juventus is only four points, and AC Milan will not be eligible to compete with Juventus for the top of the league again, and AC Milan can only be relegated to second place in the league.
But the current game has disappointed Berlusconi.
At the same time, he also admired Zhang Tiehan a little, this young man is very capable of scoring goals, after being blown off a goal, he can score another one, you must know that it is AC Milan fans, it is not a small team, it is great to score a goal, and he can actually score a second one, this kind of table is too good.
Silvio Berlusconi is the current Prime Minister of Italy, he is usually very busy, and the work of AC Milan Club is handed over to Galliani, but he still cares about AC Milan, he hopes that AC Milan can become the best player in the world, and he does not hesitate to invest a lot of money every year.
Originally, he thought that Galliani could manage AC Milan well, and he would not interfere with anything, but now ...... Silvio Berlusconi looked at Zhang Tiehan, who was active on the court. He suddenly felt that it was time to give Galliani some instructions, and at the same time tell everyone at AC Milan that AC belonged to him Berlusconi and no one else.
β¦β¦
In Berlusconi's thinking, the game went on on the pitch.
The clock had reached the end of the first half, and Roma looked completely pressed at this point. AC Milan only played defensively, played counter-attack, and the tactics and games of the two teams seemed to be diametrically opposed.
Roma fans cheered from the stands and hoped the team would score another goal.
A small number of AC Milan fans were worried about the team, watching the game with wide eyes, rarely blinking, as if they were afraid that another goal would be scored by Roma if they were not paying attention.
Thankfully, time is running out.
Immediately after stoppage time, referee Tagliavento blew the whistle for the break and both teams walked out of the pitch back to their dressing rooms. Take a break for a period of time in the middle of the field.
The Roma players all had smiles on their faces.
They took the lead in the first half, although the referee seemed to be a little biased in favor of AC Milan, but they still took the lead, which was more enjoyable, on the other hand, AC Milan were all depressed, the first half of the game made them very confused, you must know that they were AC Milan, but they played very confused throughout the first half. It didn't seem to be able to find any feeling, and they didn't expect the game to be like this. They also work hard in the game, but it is difficult to limit the opponent and it is difficult to find any opportunities in the attack.
They don't know why.
Thankfully, the first half was over, they were able to breathe a sigh of relief for 15 minutes and, more importantly, they were able to ask manager Carlo Ancelotti what was going on. What they should do.
β¦β¦
In the visiting dressing room, Carlo Ancelotti gave his players an analysis of the first half.
'They have home advantage, they're in good form, but it's not going to last the whole game!' Carlo Ancelotti did not deny Roma's table, but at the same time stressed that AC Milan's table is not good. "Your performance is disappointing, this is not the original AC Milan, you can't be blind in the game, everyone does their job and you make up a strong AC Milan."
'Don't think about falling behind, don't think about the game, just like you normally train, do your job seriously, defend when you need to defend, attack when you need to attack, so we can find our form. Do you understand? β
The players in the dressing room all nodded.
They were really confused in the first half, they didn't know what they were playing and now when they heard Carlo Ancelotti say that it sounded tough, it was true, they didn't do their job, they didn't know how to play, so the formation and the combination were a mess.
On the other hand, the opponent is very good, so he will definitely be suppressed.
But they are the mighty AC Milan and they can't stand their team being pressed by Roma.
"Don't worry, sir," said Maldini, we know what to do! The others nodded in unison, indicating that they understood.
Ancelotti looked at the players with satisfaction, although the first half was not good, but his players were still the original players, and these players were all well-known stars one by one, Inzaghi, Crespo, Pirlo, Gattuso, Kaka, Cafu, Nesta, Stamm...... With these many stars together, as long as they can play a normal game, Roma will not have a chance.
He always believed.
However, Ancelotti still stressed the defense against Roma, "You have to watch that number three!" Like I said before the game, as soon as he gets to our half, you have to keep up with him, and everyone else has to pay attention to the defense. β
Hearing this, the AC Milan players, especially the frontcourt players, could only smile bitterly.
Maybe that guy is not worth much, many people here are more valuable and famous than him, but after a real season, they all know that guy is terrible, this young goalscorer is really much better than Shepchenko, after all, no team will target Shepchenko like this, if it is against Juventus, Shepchenko is just a normal player, they have never been so against the opponent's striker before.
This is the first time this has happened.
Last time, the team also did some defensive work, and it turned out that Nesta alone could not defend the opponent at all, and now he has to defend more tightly, so that the arrogant stars of AC Milan can only smile bitterly, no matter how good they look, they have never been targeted like this. This may also be an honor.
But even so, that guy can still score......
I'm afraid that many people outside of Serie A still think that this guy is just an excellent striker, and they don't understand the horror of being an opponent at all.
β¦β¦
AC Milan looked a bit of a united group, while Roma's dressing room was more jubilant and they took the lead. They are quite good, they have nothing to fear.
They believe that they will be the ultimate victors.
That's it.
Drinel praised the players' performance in the first half, but he still asked everyone to be cautious in the second half, AC Milan will definitely make some adjustments, the second half will not be so easy, and the team will not be so good in the whole game, so the overall tactics are still based on defensive counterattacks.
"Pay more attention to defense and be cautious about every attack of the opponent." Drinel said.
After explaining the tactics. The players rested freely, talking about the goal that was blown off in the first half, and they were all denouncing the referee.
"There must be something wrong with that referee."
"All Italians know that the referee will be biased in favour of AC Milan and Juventus."
"I don't think he's going too far......"
"Why not, Berlusconi is watching the game from the rostrum, it's strange that the referee is not biased towards AC Milan!"
"Be careful."
"Don't be too impulsive if you have an argument about the decision in the second half......," Totti reminded everyone that he knows too much about Serie A and that the referee must have a problem. But it's not too strict, but there will always be some problems. If you argue with the referee, it won't do the team any good, and if you disagree with the decision, don't argue in person.
Everyone nodded.
Soon the break was over and the second half was about to begin. At halftime, many commentators talked about the first half of the game. They said the goal that was blown away, but the Italian commentators didn't say anything specifically, and some of them even said to the referee, "It's normal for the referee to make an occasional mistake", which is also true. It's just that Roma fans don't buy it.
Blunder?
Why is it not the mistake of the penalty against AC Milan, but Roma?
Many fans are discussing the goal that was blown away, they all think that there is a problem with the referee, but there is no evidence, they can only wait for the second half to start, hoping that the team will be better, so that even if the referee is biased in favor of AC Milan, the team can win.
In front of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, it was really cool to win against AC Milan.
Soon the second half began.
AC Milan played much more fluidly than in the first half, and they seemed to be deliberately steady, trying to push slowly and adapt to the game, and such a positional advance was a big threat to Roma, and they had to concentrate on the game and keep an eye on AC Milan's passes.
However, Roma's defense is also solid, and AC Milan will not find it easy to find opportunities for a while.
The two sides played very intensely, especially in the midfield near the scramble, it was even more intense, at the beginning of the first half, the two sides were fighting for the initiative in the midfield, and now the two sides seem to have returned to their original rhythm, the football is constantly passing back and forth near the midfield, and the ball is changing back and forth.
Such a match worries AC Milan supporters.
The team was already one goal behind, and now they are playing on par with Roma, can such a game really be won? AC Milan supporters are at a loss.
Roma's counter-attack, and even advancing the attack, played very smoothly, they seemed to be completely unaffected by the break, and the state was still very good, the front three of Totti, Montella and Zhang Tiehan were very active, they formed a front trident, and the continuous cooperation made it difficult for AC Milan to make restrictions.
Who can stop them?
The AC Milan players were exhausted and the AC Milan fans were in despair, and it was at this time that the referee stepped up......
When Montella was fighting for the ball with Maldini, he took advantage of his youth and squeezed Maldini to kick the football to the middle, and seeing that AC Milan was about to fall into a new crisis, the referee's whistle sounded.
"Montella fouls in a scrum!"
Montella spread her hands very aggrieved, looking innocent, but the referee simply gave him a penalty, and gave him a verbal warning, Montella muttered quietly, "Could it be that I fouled the old man because of disrespect?" Maldini was clearly the old man he was talking about.
This time Totti and Kaka battled for the ball. Both men had movements in their hands, and as a result of pulling and pulling, Totti won the game and held the ball at his feet, and the referee's whistle sounded again just as he was about to pass the ball.
"Totti fouls! Pull people! β
"Why wasn't it Tala!" Totti asked angrily, but the referee Tagliavento gave him a verbal warning, as if he was about to draw a card if he complained again.
Totti could only turn away with a gloomy face.
Once again, AC Milan's Gattuso was clearly pulling people in defence. As a result, referee Tagliavento signaled for the game to continue, "It was a normal and reasonable collision", but it was difficult for the Roma players to understand what the pulling man had to do with the reasonable collision.
As a result, Totti and others had disputes in the past.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, AC Milan played a fast attack, several Roma players did not even notice, the football quickly hit the Roma penalty area, and by the time they reacted, Argentine striker Crespo had already shot with his feet, a one-on-one goal without hindrance. Crespo sends the ball into the net.
Tagliavento immediately pushed the Roma player away and blew the whistle to signal that the goal was valid.
β¦β¦
The Roma players were very unhappy with the fact that AC Milan scored a goal in the mess, but the referee Tagliavento was clearly biased towards AC Milan, and they couldn't do much on the pitch.
Roma fans are also quite dissatisfied.
The 100,000 Roma fans at the scene all saw the goal, and they were even more dissatisfied with the referee Tagliavento, and these Roma fans began to curse in the stands again. Eighteen generations of female relatives in Tagliavento were greeted aside, and more than that. Some Roma fans also made all sorts of threats, and if these threats and intimidations came true, Tagliavento estimated that a hundred or a thousand deaths would not be enough.
But Tagliavento was calm and insisted on his decision.
It's like he's a fair referee, but the person on the scene knows that there must be something wrong with the referee. But the president of the Italian Football Federation and the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi sat on the rostrum, and there were many heavily armed policemen in the aisles of the audience, and the Roma fans really had nothing to do but shout.
Roma could only swallow this breath and continue to play.
After the game restarted, referee Tagliavento's penalty was still the same. But he would also give AC Milan a foul, and it didn't take long for the Roma players to draw a pattern and at those crucial moments, such as when a great attacking opportunity came along, Tagliavento would blow for a Roma foul and return possession to AC Milan. And a lot of inconsequential physical collisions, Tagliavento will only award AC Milan a foul, and Roma did not benefit from this.
It's simply a referee-led game......
"Damn it!"
"Bastard!"
Every Roma player is quite annoyed, they have many good attacks, but the referee has blown a timeout, and as a result, the smooth attack cannot be played at all, and if this continues, it will not be long before AC Milan can score again, and they will not be able to find their form.
Zhang Tiehan was also quite annoyed.
This time he received a pass from Totti and was about to go forward, found an opportunity to accelerate past Gattuso, and was about to find a long-range opportunity, only to be brought to the ground by Gattuso with a behind-the-back tackle.
Zhang Tiehan was not injured, he stood up directly from the ground, and the back tackle must be at least a yellow card, especially Gattuso's kick, and it is normal for the red card to be sent directly, but the referee Tagliavento just blew a timeout, gave Roma a free kick opportunity, and only gave Gattuso a verbal warning.
This penalty caused an uproar among the fans!
"You should pull out the cards!"
"This is a Yan zhΓ²ng foul!"
The Roma players were quite tactful, and the Roma fans in the stands were shouting angrily -
"How much did you charge!"
"Bastard, get out of the Olympic stadium!"
"Because of this sentence, I will kill you!"
All kinds of threats and warnings, as well as persuasion and explanations, were all in Tagliavento's ears, but Tagliavento was completely indifferent, just pointed to the penalty spot to ask Roma to serve, and he turned and ran in the direction of the wall that AC Milan had discharged.
Zhang Tiehan, who was standing in front of the ball, was quite angry!
From the second half, the referee began to target Roma, especially him, and when he didn't get his chance, the referee's whistle was quickly remembered, and he was awarded two offensive fouls.
In this way, he will not be able to play at all.
He has been thinking about what to do, but the referee is really the 'boss' on the field, what the referee says is what he says, he has nothing to do, and at the same time, the whole team's offense is restricted, and he gets fewer and fewer chances, so it is really difficult for the team to play.
Zhang Tiehan found that if they wanted to win, they couldn't get around the referee.
The referees have been doing this, they think that it is almost impossible to score a goal, and it is estimated that even if it is scored, it will be offside, fouled first, etc., which has already been precedent in the first half.
What now?
Zhang Tiehan had no clue at all, he raised his eyes and saw the back of the referee's head, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
You let Lao Tzu make free throws? Penalty kick? Penalty kick! Ha ha! I'll listen to you, free throws! Punish you directly, and see that you are still arrogant here?
"Zhang was tackled by Gattuso, the referee gave Roma a free kick, the Roma players seemed to be arguing that the penalty was too light, but looking like Zhang was not injured at all, Gattuso should have been unintentional......"
The narrator was talking.
It's a free-kick 40 meters from goal, which is a bit too far, unless Mihajlovic in his prime, or Robert Carlos of Real Madrid, can it be possible to score this kind of goal directly, Zhang Tiehan?
The commentator shook his head, "It's a non-threatening free kick. β
The narrator was saying that Zhang Tiehan had already gotten up, looking at Zhang Tiehan's raised right leg, which must be full of power, he was surprised and said, "Zhang wants to shoot?" β
Touch!
The loud bang was clearly heard on the rostrum.
Tagliavento had just turned his head.
The soccer ball flew through the grass, whistling away like a cannonball, and then ...... Hitting Tagliavento's cheek, Tagliavento suddenly flew straight and flew up, falling directly to the ground, while two nosebleeds splashed on the grass.
Now, it's broken...... (To be continued......)
