Chapter 156: The Old Guy and the Little One

The referee blew the whistle to signal that the goal was valid, and Cassano scored the first goal for Roma.

The Roma players happily celebrated the goal, Zhang Tiehan was the first to step forward and hug Cassano, and then the other Roma players also pounced happily.

"Well done, Antonio!"

"How did you get in that position! It's amazing! ”

"Look, a lot of people are cheering for you!"

Surrounded by his teammates, Cassano had a smile on his face, and he thanked Zhang Tiehan, "Zhang, thank you!" Haha, your shot is fantastic! That gave me a chance! I knew Peruzzi wouldn't be able to save your ball......"

Zhang Tiehan's face darkened when he heard this.

This is pure scar removal! He wanted to score with a long-range shot himself, but Cassano scored, he relied on his chances, but you can't say it directly, is there such a thanks?

"Next time, I will definitely kick it directly, and I won't give you any chance!" Zhang Tiehan gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

"Don't do that, haha!" Cassano grinned.

He couldn't be happier!

This is the Rome derby, even if he is an old man of Rome, but in fact, it has not been long since he became the main player of Rome, he is only 22 years old after all, and now, in the Rome derby, he scored the first goal. If the team can win, this goal will undoubtedly be a very crucial goal and he will become a hero for the Roma.

In addition to this, Cassano also thinks about his 'cleverness'.

Just now, he saw that Zhang Tiehan had been shooting from a distance, and he could only follow behind, there was nothing to do, so he used his brain, Zhang Tiehan shot so powerfully, the opponent's goalkeeper would definitely not dare to save the ball with both hands, so he could only hit it with both fists. He just needs to be in a good position to make a follow-up shot.

He thought of it.

So seeing Zhang Tiehan receiving the pass, Cassano inserted it into the penalty area as soon as possible, everyone was watching Zhang Tiehan, no one noticed Cassano, even the Lazio players standing in the penalty area, especially when Zhang Tiehan shot. Their attention is on football, and what the other Roma players are doing doesn't matter to them.

So Cassano got his chance!

When the opportunity came, Cassano immediately remembered Drinel's words, "When you face a shot, you have to be calm, like Zhang, he shoots more calmly than you, so his shot is more threatening." ”

Cassano was unimpressed. Zhang Tiehan's shot is more dangerous than himself, of course he knows, but why? It's not because that guy is a pervert...... A pervert with much more strength than normal!

But when faced with the shot, Cassano remembered this sentence and suddenly calmed down, he wanted to come and volley, but when he saw that no one was defending him, he steadily pushed the ball into the goal.

It's that simple to score goals.

'That guy from Drinel. Sometimes there is some truth in what it says. Cassano thought.

Roma players would be surprised to know that Cassano was thinking. Cassano is a notoriously bad boy at Roma, and few coaches or team-mates can convince him, and Drinel has only been in Rome for less than a month, so it's really amazing to have one thing to say about him.

……

Seeing Cassano score, the Lazio players were a little annoyed.

They were annoyed that they hadn't kept an eye on Cassano just now. At the same time some of them are still afraid, yes, afraid, Cassano is not in their eyes at all, in their eyes. The most threatening one is definitely the thirteenth Zhang Tiehan.

Kick after kick!

It looks like it's all long-range shots, and there isn't much of a threat, but when they really face it, they know how much of a threat that kind of shot is, and now that the opponent has scored, how to play the next game, they are somewhat at a loss.

Let's attack!

They had to do that, and when they were behind, only attacking could bring the score back, and under Di Mario's leadership, Lazio began to attack continuously, but they found that Roma's defense was very firm.

When Cassano scored and Roma took the lead, the players came back to their senses.

This is a playing field, not a gladiatorial arena!

They need to play normally, beat Lazio with goals, stop Lazio with a determined defense, so after the game restarts, Roma play in a disciplined way, when they defend, try to be impulsive, just defend normally, this kind of defense is very useful in derby, as long as you go to the game with a clear head, it is very difficult for Lazio to get a chance.

At the same time, Rome's attack became much sharper.

In addition to Zhang Tiehan's long-range shots, they also used cooperation to constantly break through the Lazio defense, but such an attack is difficult to work, because Lazio always uses fouls to stop them, and small actions in private are also constant, and there is no way to create any chances.

Soon the first half was over, both teams did not score in the final period, the score was still 0:1, and Roma as the visiting team led Lazio by one goal.

……

The atmosphere in the dressing room in Rome was nice.

There was anger, impulsiveness and sweat in the first half, but it ended up being good and they went into the break with the lead and the players talking about the first half, about Lazio's meanness and Cassano's goal.

Head coach Drinel is also delighted.

He takes this game very seriously, and when the team's league and European results are in shambles, it is very important to win a Rome derby. It's just that the start of the first half was different from what he expected, and he didn't expect Lazio's football to be so fierce.

He was worried in the first half.

He was afraid that Totti and others would be too impulsive and fall into Lazio's 'trick', if it wasn't for the referee's mercy, Totti would have been sent off, and as a result, relying on Cassano's goal, Roma turned around and took the lead.

Drinel was finally able to breathe a breath of fresh air.

"Everybody's doing a good job!" Drinel praised the team's performance in the first half, but tactfully suggested that he should be careful not to be too impulsive, "We have to play our football well and not be influenced by Lazio." They know they will lose to us in normal games, that's why they do it, and all we have to do is try to win. ”

The players all nodded in agreement.

At the end of the first half, they had already come back to their senses, defending or something, the attack must be played well, just like Lazio did in the opening game, their striker Di Mario did not have a single foul at all, not a single small foul, no matter what they did to Di Mario, the other party was like the 'most sportsmanlike footballer', he didn't pay attention to it, just played his own football.

Lazio's defenders were different, they kept stirring up trouble, using words, actions, and methods to provoke the anger of the Romans.

This is their despicable tactic!

Fortunately, now they have seen through it, otherwise the game would have been very difficult, and then it is possible for Roma to lose and lose.

After Drinel's speech, Totti also opened his mouth to admit his mistake, "I was impulsive that time", he referred to the sweep of E-Filippini, the general game is definitely a red card, there is no need to talk about anything else, "In the second half, everyone pays attention to the other side, we are playing football, it is okay to play normally, if you keep being fouled, put pressure on the referee." ”

Totti said solemnly.

In the Roma team, no one cares more about the outcome of the game than him, and Drinel's concern about the outcome stems more from his concern about his position as manager, and only Totti is sincere in the honor of the Roma team.

……

The atmosphere in the dressing room in Rome is not bad, compared to the atmosphere in the dressing room in Lazio, which is a bit dull.

One goal behind and the situation is very unfavorable.

What's even more disadvantageous is that the team also lost in terms of momentum, they were playing very well, the momentum was good, the fighting spirit was good, and the players privately specified the game strategy, but now these are useless, they were defeated by a few long-range shots from the opponent in the middle.

Think about the first half, the opponent's 13th long-range shot, the players all lowered their heads.

That kind of ball, they can't kick it, and at the same time feel very helpless, especially the several players who collided with Zhang Tiehan head-on, including goalkeeper Peruzzi, he still feels pain in his fingers, maybe this is more of a psychological effect, but Peruzzi's face is always heavy - he doesn't know if he can hold on to that kind of ball a few more times.

"It's okay, don't be discouraged, we are just down by one goal and we just try to get it back in the second half." Coach Cassel walked into the dressing room and began to cheer the players on, but it didn't really work.

The players still have their heads down.

This situation is also very frustrating for Cassel, who was only the coach of Lazio's youth team and has no preparation to coach the first team at all, and after becoming interim manager, Cassel has no majesty at all, and he is not even as good as Di Mario, who although he came from Lazio, but only transferred back to Lazio in the summer.

"Cheer up!" Di Mario spoke.

The Lazio players all looked up, and at such moments, they believed that there was once more Lazio than the coach Cassel, "like the coach said, just a ball!" It's not the end of the world yet! Look at how many Romans can't help but tease? If you think about it, Totti's appearance in the first half, he was going crazy! ”

"The same goes for the rest of them!"

Di Mario said, "Their number 13 is very good, but it's just good, look at Roma's current results, look at how many goals that number 13 has scored, we should know that he is just bluffing!" Give him a little more in the second half and see, that little guy will pee his pants aggrievedly! ”

Hearing Di Mario say this, everyone else laughed.

At Di Mario's age, it's really okay to call the little guy 'Zhang Tiehan', Di Mario is thirty-eight years old, Zhang Tiehan is only nineteen years old, the age difference between the two is doubled, but they compete in the same arena.

Come to think of it, that's really a 'little guy', isn't it?

What's so scary about a 'little guy', this is a Roman derby, not a kid's house, give him a little bit of power and see what else he can do! (To be continued......)
