The Stadio Olimpico in Rome fell silent.

Roma fans watched the game on the pitch with a look of disappointment on their faces, and there were only a few Atalanta fans cheering, but their numbers were too small to bring much sound to the stadium and could not break the frustration of the entire stadium.

Roma fans stared at the pitch in frustration, staring at the number -0:1 on the scoreboard, the score was so dazzling that they felt wrong for a moment, but then at the football that was still rolling in the goal, they knew it was all true.

This is the 18th round of Serie A, and Roma hosts Atrada.

Atalanta is known as the "star factory" of Serie A, and they have not been able to send stars to Italy, especially when they began to swing in the first and second divisions, during which they produced a number of players such as Philippe. Inzaghi and Vieri are some of the biggest names in Serie A football today.

Under the right direction of head coach Vavasori, Atalanta won the Serie A season in 1999-2000, and the core of the team was a group of young players with great potential, including many future stars such as the Zenoni brothers, Bellini, Rossini, Donati, Doni and Zauri, but they soon sank again, but when Montolivo, Pazzini and other youngsters took over, Atalanta quickly returned to Serie A.

However, despite the presence of veterans like Albertini, Atalanta are still a young team overall, and the media commented in the summer that Atalanta could have a miracle in the new season, or they could slump in the face of headwinds, and now Atalanta's results seem to be the latter is clearly valid.

Compared to Serie A, where there are many strong teams, Atalanta is still too young and immature, after seventeen rounds of league games. Atalanta are bottom of Serie A with just three wins, and they are absolutely bottom-bottom, with second-to-bottom Brescia having seven more league points than them.

Comparatively speaking, Roma is an absolute powerhouse.

Although the team has not been in the league this season, there are many stars in the team, and this game is a home game. At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, there was no reason for Roma to lose against a team that was certain to be relegated, but now, just fifteen minutes into the game, Atlanta opened the scoring.

What's going on?

The Atlanta fans who came with the team never expected the game to develop like this, so now they are cheering to their heart's content, which is unexpected. They were full of surprise in their hearts, on the contrary, Roma fans were disappointed, they knew that the team had all kinds of problems, and the lineup was relatively poor, but it was compared to AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, and other Italian teams, Roma is still quite strong.

The commentators at the Olympic Stadium are running out of energy to explain the game. “…… The goal was scored by Zauri, Atalanta's number nine...... Genius ......"

He had to add the word 'genius'.

I don't think many people have heard of Zauri's name. Actually, he is not famous, even if his number is good, but he is in Atalanta, but can he score at the Olympic Stadium, is it not a genius? If not genius. Doesn't that mean that the goal of the Olympic Stadium in Rome can be scored by anyone!

But that's the way it is now......

The game didn't change just because of a word from the commentator, and then he said 'the truth', "For Roma. It's so bad that before the game, they could never have imagined that they would be down behind at home – especially against a team like Atalanta! After only fifteen minutes into the game, Atalanta took the lead, and after the last round against Livorno, many media criticized Drinel's tactics, but now it seems that their criticism is justified, Roma's defense at the back is too poor, and several players in the front court are too far forward, and when Atalanta counterattacks, they simply can't quickly retreat to defend. ”

When the camera points to the Roma players, you can see that many players are also a little dazed on their faces, especially those in the front court, their expressions are very helpless.

Come to think of it, they are also helpless in the face of conceding goals.

……

on the pitch.

"It's okay, just conceding a goal, Mr. Drinel said, we have to play a good attack, keep attacking, destroy them with attack, and we will be able to recover a ball very quickly!" Totti saw everyone's appearance and hurriedly lifted his morale.

His words had some effect.

Totti is the core of Roma after all, he is still very authoritative in the team, and it is still useful for Totti to step up when everyone doesn't know what to do.

Roma players are right to think about it.

Drinel spoke to them before the game, "All we have to do is to attack more, attack more, that's the focus of our game, I want to see you all working up front, and I don't want to see you all working hard in front of the opposition for the attack. ”

These are the exact words of Drinel.

What Drinel means is to make the frontcourt players work harder to attack, not to think too much about how to defend, if Atalanta attack, they drop back to defend, because the formation is very high, then they will keep running in the front and back, not to mention how much energy will be wasted.

The Roma players don't know if Drinel's tactics are right or not, but that's all they can do now.

Zhang Tiehan felt very light.

The opponent just scored a goal, after Drinel said the tactics, he had already prepared in his heart, this kind of very offensive tactics, the defense will naturally do not do well, but he believes that the reason why Atalanta can score is that the team's attack is not good.

For fifteen minutes, Roma kept attacking, but the team never scored.

This is mainly because everyone is not very accustomed to tactics, he is very adaptable, because his position is the striker, the only striker, in the previous game, he did not get any good opportunities, but as long as he has the opportunity, he believes that he will be able to score, because the defenders of Atalanta can't defend themselves at all, especially after a while of training, Zhang Tiehan is more confident, his technical aspects are not much behind his teammates, coupled with his physical advantages, he feels a little impatient.

……

After the game restarted, under the organization of Totti, Roma played another wave of attacks.

Atalanta's defense is very tight, although they have not achieved good results and are also one of the weakest teams in Serie A, but in defense, especially in defensive positions, they still have a certain level, Roma's attack is difficult to penetrate their defense, the only headache for them is two people - Totti and Zhang Tiehan.

Totti's position is so deep that Atalanta simply can't defend Totti effectively, and Totti's penetrating passes, combined with his occasional forward and even the occasional one or two dribbles, can put their defence in jeopardy.

As for Zhang Tiehan......

The Atalanta players can only say that they are helpless, although they are now leading the score, they must admit that they can't do more about Zhang Tiehan's defense, Zhang Tiehan stepped forward several times, whether it is grabbing points, dribbling, speed or even passing, they can't compare at all, the only good news is that the big man has not been able to get any good opportunities in the current position.

But by the twenty-third minute, Totti's pass had them nervous!

It was a penetrating pass, and the ball passed through the two Atlanta players and went directly to the feet of Zhang Tiehan, who was forced by a tall Atlanta player to turn around, so he suddenly wanted to try his foot skills.

'Control', so he knew exactly where his team-mate was behind him, so he lifted his foot and swung it towards the ball.

The Yatra Stadium was startled, and he was about to do something, only to find that Zhang Tiehan was not kicking forward, but slamming the ball backwards with a roar...... Heel passes? This big guy still has this technique?

Without waiting for the Atalanta player to think about it, the ball had already passed between his feet and flew straight into the open space on Atalanta's right flank.

The Roma fans in the stands didn't think this was an opportunity, but when they saw Zhang Tiehan pass such a beautiful ball with his heel, they were stunned for a while, and many people even rubbed their eyes to make sure that what they saw was the team's No. 13 big man, not Totti, not Mancini, not Del Vecchio?

No!

Oh...... Yes, it's the thirteenth sheet!

The Olympic commentators were stunned for a moment, he had the same idea as the Roma fans, and then he reacted and immediately looked at the gap.

"Mancini—"

It was Mancini who killed him!

Most people wanted to go to Mancini, seeing him receive the ball in the open position, the nearby Atalanta defender immediately wanted to rush over, but the Atalanta player who defended Zhang Tiehan did not, he still followed Zhang Tiehan, but without the ball, what else could he do to Zhang Tiehan? Zhang Tiehan only turned around, lunged forward and shook him off, and even squeezed him with a little force as he rushed over, as a result, the Atlanta player staggered a few steps on the grass and almost fell to the ground.

Zhang Tiehan didn't care so much, he had already run forward.

And there is no one around him to defend him!

When passing the ball, Zhang Tiehan has pinched the force, Mancini receives the pass very well, and Zhang Tiehan throws off the defender and runs forward after passing, he doesn't need to look at it at all to know what Mancini will do.

He's not going to shoot, he's going to cross it!

Sure enough, the football immediately rolled over from the right side, and all Zhang Tiehan had to do was to swing his right leg sharply and slam forward!

"Zhang's shot!" The narrator let out an exclamation!

The football was hit hard with his right foot, and he rushed directly towards the goal, and all you can see is that the Atala goalkeeper stood helplessly in front of the goal, he did nothing, he could only watch the football re-enter the goal, and even the symbolic save was left.

"Zhang, the ball is in-!!"

After a few minutes of silence, the Olympique de Roma finally turned into a sea of cheers again, and at this moment, many Roma fans reflexively stood up, raised their arms and shouted in celebration of the goal. (To be continued......)
