Everyone knows that Roma are not defending well.

Not to mention the current 4231 formation, even the previous 442 in Rome has a big problem, and the problem lies in the players themselves.

Last summer, several Roma players switched to Juventus, and Roma failed to bring in a few more defensive players in the summer, which caused Rome's back to be empty, and the limited number of players did not stand out, Roma not only lacked the backbone of the defense, but also lacked a core figure who could lead the defense.

Perhaps the latter is the key.

There is a defensive general, its role is not only their own defense, but also can drive the entire defense line to become very stable, but the defensive general can be quite difficult to find, the defender is not like the frontcourt player, the transfer market is a lot of turns, and one is more than a genius, defensive players, especially excellent defensive generals, are very rare in the transfer market, and the price is also quite high, such as Inter Milan's Córdoba, which is not well-known in the eyes of fans, but is worth at least more than 20 million euros in the transfer market.

Such players cannot be bought if they want to, not to mention that Roma's poor economy does not allow them to buy players who are too expensive.

Without a defender, Roma's defense is not any better, although Drinel has been emphasizing defense and defense in the first half of the schedule, but Roma's defense has not improved.

In this regard, Roma is very clear, the media and fans are also very clear, Inter Milan is naturally very clear, they know that Roma's 4231 formation is biased towards attack, and they also know that Roma's defense is really a problem, Inter Milan is also ready before the game, coach Mancini analyzed the weaknesses of the Roma squad to the players, how to play, completely suppress Roma, and obtain an advantage in both the situation and the score.

But that's just on paper.

On the tactical board is all simple. When it comes to the game, it takes the hard work of the players on the field to achieve it.

Now Inter Milan players feel that way.

They knew Roma's weakness, but if they wanted to fight back in two waves, they were immediately suppressed by Roma's attack, and they had to defend in their own half, and as a result, the attack had no time to take care of.

Adriano was standing near the center circle.

He hasn't been in great form in recent times. Before the game, Roma and Inter Milan had a fierce quarrel, and some reporters came to interview him, but he didn't say anything, he just wanted to wait for the opportunity to express his face, and only when he had a table did he have the right to speak, and he knew this very well.

Just now his teammate passed the ball over, but the opposing player broke it in the middle of the game, and he was a little annoyed because he hadn't had the ball for a long time. As for the opponent, the whole formation is pressed out, and there is a large blank space in the backfield, he believes that as long as the ball is at his feet, he will definitely be able to create a threat to Rome, and even directly score the ball is nothing surprising, this is his ability.

But...... What about balls?

Football has never been passed on!

This probably can't be blamed on teammates, mainly because Roma is too fast in front. They couldn't handle it, but they didn't have a single goal for half a day. Adriano was a little annoyed.

He is different from Zhang Tiehan.

Both of them are about 1.9 meters tall, Adriano is better at technology, the body is not important, he has always relied on his foot skills to stand in Inter Milan, flexible and exquisite skills and a body that is not worse than others, the two want to combine Adriano. And he is a pure striker, a pure goalscorer, he needs the support of his teammates to show more, and in the game of passive defense, Adriano can really not do much.

……

Drinel looked bold against Inter. The recent Roma league winning streak relies on this 4231 formation, but the flaws of the formation are also obvious, just like the media discussed, 'this is very suitable for playing against weak teams', which is a sarcasm, but it is also true.

For example, the team that has done a good job in defense does not have to be afraid of Rome at all, as long as it can do a good job of defense and not give Rome a chance, and play a few waves of counterattacks according to the opportunity, it will naturally be able to win the initiative in the game, which is called 'defense wins', as long as the defense is stable, you are not afraid of attacking at all.

In the face of Inter Milan, Drinel also dared to use new tactics, which is indeed very bold, and Drinel's idea is also very simple, that is, to score a goal first, and to have an advantage, after all, a qiē is not good for Rome - lineup, away, etc., can play an advantage Rome has a chance to win.

The key to the tactics is that they must take the lead and not give Inter Milan a chance of relieving themselves, otherwise there is little hope of losing their previous achievements.

Twenty minutes were about to pass, but Roma still didn't score.

Drinel was also a little anxious, he stood up from the dugout, walked to the sidelines to watch the game up close, and kept shouting to remind the players what to do, this scene fell in the eyes of the media, and it can also analyze Drinel's thoughts.

"Drinel wanted Roma to score first, but Roma didn't score for a long time, which is not good for them after 20 minutes......"

It is true that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable.

Inter Milan almost played a few waves of counterattacks just now, but fortunately, the Roma players reacted quickly and made a tackle in time, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.

"We need to score!"

Drinel shouted wildly, but his face did not move, but the sound of his constant shouting still betrayed his nervousness, and on the other side, Mancini did not know when to sit back firmly in the coach's seat, he crossed his legs, chewed gum in his mouth, and looked leisurely and confident.

The two are in stark contrast.

……

Although Drinel didn't shout out, at this moment, everyone in Rome knew what they needed.

Goal, there must be a goal!

Zhang Tiehan has been looking for opportunities, but since that long-range shot, he has not had any good chances, which may be 'attributed' to Inter Milan to strengthen the defense against him, Inter Milan defender Materazzi specially rushed to defend Zhang Tiehan.

Materazzi is Inter's midfielder, a typical latecomer who has come out of the bottom and even spent a few years in the amateur team as a young man.

In 1995, Materazzi joined Perugia, then a second division team, and interestingly, Materazzi lost his place in the team because of a fight between his father and head coach Galeo. The following year he was loaned to third-division side Capy. Two years later, he went to England superteam Everton. A year later, he returned to Perugia.

In the 2000-01 season, Materazzi was already Perugia's main centre-back and captain, and he became the team's top scorer with 12 goals, setting a record for goals scored by a Serie A defender in a season. It is also the biggest contributor to the team's relegation.

Since then, Juventus, Lazio, Inter Milan and many other big clubs have started to play Materazzi's idea, but Inter Milan seized the opportunity and signed a contract with him decisively and quickly.

The following summer, Materazzi moved to Inter Milan for £6 million and quickly became the heart of Inter's defence, and as he was the only tall defender who was good at heading balls, Materazzi was undoubtedly important in the team, and he was the only player who could defend himself. And Materazzi is quite experienced, and even Córdoba, who is stable in the team, can't shake his position, which shows Materazzi's strength.

Zhang Tiehan has been bothering Materazzi.

This guy is really in good health, with rich defensive experience, he will use his standing and foot skills to not give Zhang Tiehan a chance, he came over to defend closely, just to cut off Zhang Tiehan's chance to get a good ball. At the same time, even if Zhang Tiehan gets the ball, under the defense of Materazzi. It's also hard to threaten the Inter goal.

The most troublesome thing is that Materazzi always stands in a good position, as if he is a step ahead of the curve, when his teammates pass the ball, Zhang Tiehan uses 'see-through' to know where the ball lands, but then he sees that Materazzi is stuck between the football and himself.

And that's just one of them.

Just now, Zhang Tiehan stopped the ball with his chest. Just wanted to pull back the person, but when he just made a move, Materazzi suddenly kicked a pass, which happened to lead to the football, and Zhang Tiehan chased two steps forward before getting the ball again. But by this time he had already missed the opportunity.

He knew why, mainly because the guy next to him was so experienced in the game!

In comparison, Zhang Tiehan feels that he can't compare with him in this regard, in addition, there is also a gap between himself and Materazzi in terms of technology, and Materazzi's body is not much worse than himself.

Zhang Tiehan has been thinking about how to get rid of Materazzi.

There was nothing he could do in a row, he had to let his teammates pass more high balls, but that didn't work, Materazzi was also very tall, and sometimes he was in a good position and could still clear the ball.

After a few times, Zhang Tiehan found that in the face of Materazzi, his advantages could not be brought into play at all.

So what are your strengths?

Height, body, these are stronger than Materazzi, but not too much stronger, the gap in strength, Materazzi is enough to make up for it with experience, and technically, there is a gap between himself and Materazzi...... So yes, the speed !?

Yes, it's speed!

In other aspects, some of them can't catch up with Materazzi, and some of them don't have a big gap, and if they want to get rid of Materazzi in a short time, they can only play their own speed, and Materazzi will definitely not be able to keep up with themselves, and it will be useless to have any game experience or anything.

……

Drinel was eager to score, and Mancini was in his heart, watching the game with his legs crossed, and his leisurely appearance was in stark contrast to Drinel, and the TV screen dangled back and forth on the two coaches.

Mancini thought there was nothing to worry about at this point.

As long as Roma delay in scoring, the situation will soon improve, and the more chances there will be for Inter Milan to pass by, and Roma will not be able to fight back at that time.

What the team is doing now is gradually increasing the number of counter-attacks.

Inter Milan is already better than Roma, sitting at home and playing defensive counterattacks without conceding goals, such a game can not be won again, Mancini feels that he doesn't need to think about the hot woman in the stands today.

on the pitch.

By the time Mancini was relaxing, Zhang Tiehan had already begun to work on a par with Matera...... (To be continued......)
