Against Bayer Leverkusen, Roma have a psychological advantage, because in the last leg, Roma won away from Bayer Leverkusen. Even so, Drinel takes the game very seriously and has spent a day training on it in the hope of having more certainty.

Winning this game, Roma will be able to accumulate 6 points and may also try to qualify.

Roma also attached great importance to the game, and the team did a lot of work before the game, but overall, everyone's mentality is still very relaxed, this is Rome, they have a home advantage, but when it comes to the game with Bayer Leverkusen, everyone also knows that it is really difficult to play, and the last victory still relied on Zhang Tiehan's outbreak, otherwise it is really difficult for them to win.

This mindset turned out to be right.

It's not that Bayer Leverkusen is so good, it's that Roma attrition at the start of the game, and it was Totti who was injured, and he fell to the ground while fighting for the ball with Bayer Leverkusen, only to be carried off the pitch, and Drinel had to replace him, and De Rossi, who was supposed to be a substitute.

De Rossi was nothing to play in central midfield, but it was different when he replaced Totti, who was still too immature and had much less control over the game.

Totti is the flag of Rome, some people say that he is the ball bully, but without Totti, Rome's table is obviously worse.

De Rossi and Del Vecchio are much worse in midfield than Totti and Del Vecchio.

Fans may not be able to see this, but as a striker, Zhang Tiehan feels that it is particularly obvious, without Totti, without such accurate through balls, he always feels that there is something missing in the game, and as a result, he has nothing to show in the first half.

For him, the support of his teammates is very important.

He's at the front of the team. With the support of his teammates, he has to have a chance, and without Totti, there is also the support of other teammates, but Roma's overall attack can't play, and others don't have Totti's excellent footwork, so he gets at least half of the chances.

This gap ...... It's really a bit big.

At halftime. The atmosphere in the dressing room was dreary, the results of the doctor's test had come out, and Totti had a thigh muscle strain and was out for at least a month, which was definitely not good news for Roma.

Zhang Tiehan also regretted it.

He actually has a mediocre relationship with Totti, but without Totti, there would definitely be fewer goals and fewer chances.

"It's a pity......" Zhang Tiehan said helplessly.

"Don't worry, Zhang. I'll pass it to you! De Rossi said in high spirits, Totti was injured, De Rossi actually felt regretful, but he couldn't be sad, mainly because after Totti was injured, he could become the main force of the team, the main force of the iron fight.

This is good news for him.

Zhang Tiehan could only roll his eyes, "Come on!" He patted De Rossi on the shoulder. Encourage him like a big brother, and the whole team thinks it's normal for him to do this. But it doesn't feel normal...... This guy doesn't seem to be twenty years old, more than two years younger than De Rossi.

But if you don't pay attention, it feels like he's really much more mature!

In any case, Totti's departure was not good news for Roma, who were on the defensive for most of the first half and thankfully did not score. It's still a draw.

But it seems that Roma had particularly bad luck today, and Cassano also went off injured at the start of the second half......

This Nima!

Zhang Tiehan was speechless and watched Cassano being carried off the field, this guy was also fighting for the ball with the Leverkusen players, jumping up and falling and couldn't continue. "It's okay, Antonio, I've got your goal," Zhang Tiehan 'comforted' Cassano before he was carried away.

Cassano responded with a crying voice.

Before the goal was scored, Roma lost Totti and Cassano, which in Roma's opinion, is more depressing than losing, Totti and Cassano are very important to Roma, and these two injuries will definitely affect future games.

Roma fans can only open their mouths to curse Leverkusen, they think that Leverkusen must have a despicable little move, otherwise why are Totti and Cassano injured?

Just as they were scolding, Bayer Leverkusen scored!

In an attack, the ball hit the Roma penalty area, and in the scuffle, striker Berbatov poked the ball into the goal with his toe to give Bayer Leverkusen the lead over Roma.

"Hell!"

Many Roman media at the scene secretly scolded that Leverkusen was purely taking advantage of people's danger, Cassano had just been carried off the field, and they scored the ball, which was really shameless.

Of course, Bayer Leverkusen certainly doesn't think so......

They attacked many times throughout the game, and only this time they scored the ball, which was completely caused by the appearance, and it had nothing to do with taking advantage of others.

Leverkusen still has a little advantage in the whole game, especially after Totti goes down, Roma's attack is obviously worse, Leverkusen occupies a big advantage, and the offense plays well with more time on the ball, and it is normal to have a goal.

But it is also undeniable that Roma have problems at the back.

Many people know this problem, after the two big players left the team in the summer, Roma's defense has always had problems, the two wings are fine, especially in the middle, Ferrari and Mexes are really unsatisfactory, not to mention compared with AC Milan, Juventus and other giants, even compared to some small teams, such as Udinese and Brescia.

The only way to change that is to bring in a strong centre-back.

But Roma can't do it, the team has an economic crisis in the summer, only Zhang Tiehan has been introduced, and it is impossible to buy strength stars in other positions, the idea of the club's top management is to strengthen the offensive ability, and other positions can be supplemented with young players and old players, Drinel hopes to introduce strong defenders in the winter transfer, but it is not very likely, after all, there are few outstanding players in the winter transfer, and only a few substitutes can be bought to supplement the lineup.

This season, it is unlikely that they will change the problems of Roma's defense.

What the team needs to consider is how to make up for the lack of defense with attack, for example, how to equalize now?

Drinel learned the lessons of his last game against Bayer Leverkusen, with Totti and Del Vecchio in midfield, with De Rossi taking his place and Zhang Tiehan partnering Cassano, who was replaced by Montella. is Zhang Tiehan and Montella partner, Montella is not better than Cassano, his personal ability is not outstanding, and his foot skills are average, but he and Totti play very well together, the problem is that Totti is also off...... This makes the combination of the front court a little awkward. Even more awkward than the last time he played Bayer Leverkusen.

Candela and Mancini on the wings were good.

After Bayer Leverkusen's goal, Drinel could only tell the wings to attack more and create more chances for the middle, and he also knew that the middle was difficult to count on.

……

'Roma were behind and Bayer Leverkusen scored a goal less than three minutes after Cassano went off injured. However, Bayer Leverkusen took the initiative from the start of the game, and it was a little late for them to score. Since Totti went off the pitch. Zhang's table is also a little bad, maybe we can't blame him, no one passes the ball for him in the middle, Roma's overall table is affected, and it is difficult for him to do anything in front. ”

When the commentator said this, Zhang Tiehan was also thinking about the score.

Rome lagged behind.

But he didn't worry about anything, he was thinking about how to get the score back, and he was talking to De Rossi about it.

"Find my location. Bigfoot Pass Forward! He said to De Rossi.

De Rossi nodded.

He didn't know if what Zhang Tiehan said was right or wrong, but now the whole of Rome didn't know how to play. He also kicked a little messy, since Zhang Tiehan said so, just listen to him.

"I didn't show much for the whole game and with Francesco and Antonio going off injured, I think they will make mistakes."

Zhang Tiehan said.

For Leverkusen, the current shape is too good. Totti is off, Cassano is down, De Rossi, Del Vecchio and Montella and other players are difficult to threaten them, the only thing to pay attention to is Zhang Tiehan, but Zhang Tiehan has nothing to show in the whole game. Their defense is also a little relaxed, and the important thing is that they have an absolute advantage in the midfield, so it is difficult for Zhang Tiehan to get the ball in the front, and Roma's attack cannot play at all.

The mentality of the Bayer Leverkusen players is quite relaxed.

They felt that the game was won, especially after scoring a goal to take the lead, and they didn't think Roma had a chance to come back.

"Be quick, watch my position!" Zhang Tiehan and De Rossi said, "They may be careless, maybe I have a chance." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Run forward! The fastest speed! You pay attention to my position and pass the ball. ”

"Okay."

……

Roma fans and the media are worried about the situation in Rome.

At the Stadio Olimpic, they should have beaten Bayer Leverkusen, but Totti and Cassano went off injured, and the situation suddenly fell into the hands of Leverkusen, and they had no choice but to watch Roma passively and then fall behind.

"Can you catch it back?" There was some desperation among the fans.

With no hope of scoring, they gritted their teeth and watched as Bayer Leverkusen celebrated wildly, only to hope something would happen when the game was about to restart.

"We're really out of luck." Some fans said, "It's been like this this season, and I think it would be nice to keep a place in Europe next season." ”

"Maybe we should aim a little lower, this game is definitely out of play."

"God is all about helping others......"

"God didn't stand behind us anyway, damn it!"

The Roma fans were desperate, and the players on the pitch did not know how to play, but when Bayer Leverkusen celebrated the goal, Zhang Tiehan quickly carried the ball to the center circle and urged the referee to kick off as much as possible.

Zhang Tiehan and Montella stand together in the center circle.

Montella was looking around, Zhang Tiehan beckoned to him, he looked over, and heard Zhang Tiehan say, "Vincenzo, how about we come to the fast attack?" ”

"How do you break fast?"

Zhang Tiehan said, "After a while, you will rush forward, from the left, I will rush from the right, they will definitely mess up when they see us kicking like this, maybe there will be a chance!" ”

Montella nodded.

Taking advantage of the position of the Leverkusen players, Zhang Tiehan talked to others again, and everyone agreed, anyway, there has been no chance, but you can try, but Zhang Tiehan still told others to pay attention to defense, if the ball is cut off halfway, Leverkusen is likely to launch a counterattack, it is a bit dangerous.
