On 13 November, Roma host Reggina.

Founded in 1904 in Reggio Calabria in southern Italy, Reggina FC is home to Stadio-Oreste-Granillo, and has been playing in the lower leagues for the first time, first promoted to Serie A in 1999, relegated two years later, and only relegated back to the first division in 2003.

Reggina FC has not had any honors since its establishment, not only in the league, but also in the cup.

In its 88-year history, Reggina has only played in Serie A twice, in the 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 seasons, finishing 11th and 15th respectively. This season they were promoted to Serie A in third place in Serie B and played in their third Serie A.

In order to strengthen the team, the club has brought in several players this season, especially the Japanese player Shunsuke Nakamura, but their goal is obviously relegation, and the Reggina club has publicly stated many times that the team's goal is relegation.

Such a team, in Drinel's plans, clearly belongs to the team that must be beaten.

If you can't even win the first game against an opponent like Reggina, Drinel's plan may be really difficult to achieve, so Drinel is very serious about the game, but the current situation of the team is also a headache.

Totti is injured, Cassano is injured and he needs to make a big change in midfield.

On top of that, the team's main starting line-up also needs to be rotated, and many players have played the full game more than once, and they need to rest, which makes it difficult for Drinel to even have a full starting line-up.

As a result, when Roma came out, the media were surprised to see their starting line-up.

Cassano was wounded. Mido and Montella partnered as a double striker, Zhang Tiehan did not appear in the starting position, Mido replaced him as a center forward, and Drinel was considering letting Zhang Tiehan rest for a game, after all, he has been playing the whole game recently, and his fitness is more or less problematic. But in order to prevent accidents, Zhang Tiehan still appeared on the bench.

In midfield, Totti was absent, De Rossi and Perrotta were partnered, and the two flanks were Mancini, who had just renewed his contract, and young Getano D'Agostino, who was twenty-two years old and had previously been in Roma's youth team, and after Totti's injury, Drinel considered adding players. Promoted to the first team, in this game, Del Vecchio asked Huron, D'Agostino has the opportunity to start, which is also what Drinel wants to use the game to test the ability of some young players.

What kind of performance can Rome have in such a start, many people are very skeptical.

Before the start of the game, the TV camera showed the Roma bench, and Zhang Tiehan was seen supporting his head with his arm. Sitting stunned, in such a hot Olympic stadium. He seemed to be fighting with his eyelids, and he looked sleepy.

The stadium broadcast made an excuse for Zhang Tiehan, "Zhang has played all the starters in the recent games, he is a little tired, even if Drinel lets him rest, he is worried that the game will make him sit on the bench." It's a positive ...... for him."

Zhang Tiehan really has no spirit.

He's been playing too much lately and he's really having some fitness issues, so he feels energetic, but the doctor's report says he needs to rest or the chance of injury will increase a lot.

So. Zhang Tiehan also rested.

But he didn't expect that he couldn't stay idle at rest, Drinel still put him on the bench, what he hated the most was to sit on the bench, probably in the Manchester United youth team, there were some shadows on the bench, he hated the feeling of sitting here and watching the game, it was better to sleep.

As a result, when the game started, he fell asleep, and by the time he woke up in a daze, the game had changed.

……

"Two to zero! Roma probably couldn't have imagined that it would be such a start, and it was only 25 minutes into the game, and Reggina had already scored two goals, which was unbelievable! Reggina had a perfect start that not only Roma could not have imagined, but even they themselves could not have imagined that they could score two goals in 25 minutes at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome! ”

"First Savolti, then Mozart, Reggina is in full bloom in midfield, and Shunsuke Nakamura, a player from Japan, is also quite good, he assisted Mozalt's goal is quite beautiful, and the goal just now is also related to him, and his table is quite perfect."

"On the Roma side, the midfield led by De Rossi seems to be very weak, Mido has nothing to say in the front, Montella can't play, the only bright spot may be Mancini, the Brazilian is still strong, he is the only player on the Roma field worthy of praise."

"With Totti, Cassano injured and Zhang not playing, it's really hard for us to be sure that this is the team that beat AC Milan and won two games against Bayer Leverkusen......

As the narrator said, it's hard to imagine!

At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, in their home stadium, Roma faced a promoted horse like Reggina, and the three fronts were all in shambles, and now they need to think about why the team is so weak, and even some of the rhythm that has been broken by Regina.

Now what?

Totti is not there, Zhang Tiehan is not there, the captain on the field is Perrotta, but Perrotta can give little support to the team in terms of offense, and the offense is expected to be better than De Rossi, but it is difficult for De Rossi to drive the rhythm of the whole team.

When Zhang Tiehan woke up and saw the scoreboard score, he rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe it.

2:0, it was actually Rome behind...... How is the ball kicked?

But he wasn't on the pitch and couldn't do anything, head coach Drinel looked at Zhang Tiehan several times and hesitated to give up, after all, Zhang Tiehan needed to rest, and now there is no difference between playing and playing the whole game, and the first half has just started halfway, and he can only hope that the team can stabilize.

Fortunately, after Reggina scored the second goal, the Roma players seemed to 'wake up', and in the 39th minute, De Rossi stepped in to receive a pass from Mancini and pulled a goal back for Roma with a push, and the score became 1:2, and only one goal behind also made Roma breathe a long sigh.

1:2, in short, 0:2 is much better.

When half-time came, the atmosphere in the dressing room was not very good. Every player who came on the pitch looked frustrated, and Drinel said a lot before the game, asking everyone to pay attention to every game, whether it was against a small team or a big team, to put all their energy and focus on the opponent. Valuing the game, which Drinel highlighted more than once, has been highlighted in this regard.

But they were careless.

Despite a late goal back, if you think about the start of the first half, they know that their current situation is the result of a lack of attention.

Regina? A promoted horse, how to compare with Rome!

This mentality led to the current result, they didn't expect Reggina to score in the opening game, and then the game was a bit 'sleepwalking', the formation was a chaotic mess, and finally Reggina found the opportunity to score again.

Their performance in the first half was not good. If it weren't for De Rossiban pulling a goal back, the situation would have looked even worse.

Drinel was also disappointed.

But in the dressing room, he didn't blame anyone, just told the players to calm down, as long as they play their strength, the team will win.

Drinel did not make any adjustments to his tactics, his only adjustment was to bring Zhang Tiehan on the field, Mido's appearance was too bad, he was a center forward. There wasn't a single shot on goal in the first half, and the number of passes and catches in the attack was pitiful. Such a player stays on the field and doesn't have the same. Drinel still believes in Zhang Tiehan more.

On the pitch in the second half, the Roma players looked much more energetic.

In fact, when Drinel asked Zhang Tiehan to play, every player exhaled a long breath, and in a few months, Zhang Tiehan had already proven himself with his watch. At the same time, they also won the affirmation of other players, they knew Zhang Tiehan's ability, and when Zhang Tiehan wanted to play, they seemed to have found the backbone.

They had a strange feeling, like as long as Zhang Tiehan appeared. The victory is already halfway there.

No one said this feeling, but everyone had it, so the fighting spirit of the players improved a lot, as if Zhang Tiehan would definitely score.

……

When the Roma players returned to the field, the Reggina fans in the stands let out a huge cheer, and it was not only Roma who rested, Reggina also experienced fifteen minutes, they were cheering for their players, and at the same time reminding the Roma - we are ahead!

They wanted to add a few more reminders to put pressure on Rome, but they didn't use it anymore.

When they saw Zhang Tiehan coming up and being replaced, the Roma fans in the stands immediately went crazy!

Their cheers immediately silenced the few poor Reggina fans, as if Roma had already won, and some Reggina fans were still looking around for some reason, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

Nothing happened.

The only thing is that Zhang Tiehan appeared, and some Reggina fans who knew hurriedly told others, and soon everyone knew, and Reggina fans stared at Zhang Tiehan who was about to play, and they even booed.

Looking in the direction of the boo, Zhang Tiehan shrugged, and then he gave his little thumb up and bent the hook.

And when he did that, he was still standing on the sidelines.

The referee saw it, he was about to come over to warn Zhang Tiehan, if he was on the field, the referee would give him a yellow card warning, no matter what, provoking the fans would have to get a yellow card, but Zhang Tiehan had not yet stepped on the playing field, he had no way to give the card, and Zhang Tiehan did not go too far enough to be expelled from the game.

Reggina fans were immediately furious!

Before they could do anything, Zhang Tiehan had already put away his little thumb, hugged Mido who was off the field and stepped on the court, running forward slowly, like a 'never foul' ten good Su zhì player, no matter what sound the Reggina fans made again, he threw himself into the game as if he didn't hear it, and the Reggina fans were itching.

The only thing they could do was to boo even more, but this is the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, and no matter how much they shout, they can't shout more than 50,000 Roma fans.

At this time, Zhang Tiehan was running forward slowly.

Just now, the Reggina player fouled and the referee gave Roma a set-piece, which was in the Reggina half, almost 40 meters from the goal, which was too far away.

Zhang Tiehan jogged to the position, looked in the direction of the Reggina goal, and hesitantly said to De Rossi, "I'm thinking...... What happens if I shoot here, you say? (To be continued......)
