Chapter 183: A Man Fighting

Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Zhang Tiehan, who was wearing the No. 13 jersey, stood quietly, looking at the fans on the east side, his right arm was raised high and two fingers were raised, he just stood there, his face was arrogant and cold, but everyone understood what he meant.

"Second goal!"

Some Roma fans interpret it directly as, "It's just the second goal, and there will be goals to come!" ”

This made all Roma fans excited, regardless of whether Zhang Tiehan could do it or not, but now he has scored two goals, and Roma is also '2:0' ahead of Real Madrid, even if the people who are optimistic about Rome before the game, they dare not imagine that the first half will be like this, it is estimated that if Real Madrid leads by two goals and the score is reversed, they will be calmer.

But Roma do take the lead!

Real Madrid fans felt incredible, they heard some news before the game, this arrogant young boy, talking to media reporters about scoring more goals, to give Real Madrid a 'gift', that is not a gift, just to say something disgusting Real Madrid, this kind of thing can often be seen as long as you pay attention to the media news.

They don't take it seriously.

But now that Zhang Tiehan has done it, Real Madrid fans feel incredible, not many of them really know Zhang Tiehan, and even if there are people who do, they don't think Zhang Tiehan has anything great.

Top scorer in League One last season? What's that......

The player with the most goals in Serie A and Champions League this season? But at AS Roma, anyone who really knows the ball knows that the stars of smaller teams tend to score more goals because they have more support from the team and more playing time.

The latter is easy to understand, there are not many good players in small teams, and a good star naturally wants to play when. It's not like Real Madrid, even Beckham is a substitute a lot of the time.

The former is known only to professional fans.

In many cases, most of the top scorers in Europe's top leagues belong to players from big clubs, but you have to look at the top five and top ten, half of which are from small teams. Even relegated teams are normal, these teams have excellent strikers, they play a lot of minutes, and they can get the attacking support of the whole team, and they have a lot of chances, so naturally they will score goals.

Therefore, Real Madrid fans didn't take Zhang Tiehan seriously at all, especially the last time at the Bernabeu, Zhang Tiehan didn't have much to show off the bench.

But now?

The guy really scored, scoring two goals in just one first half.

They were amazed. Seeing Zhang Tiehan's arrogant appearance of raising two fingers, they were even more angry, but they couldn't do anything, and even the symbolic boos had no confidence to come out.

If someone really scores, what about arrogance? What's more, this is the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, not the Bernabeu.

……

The most depressing of the scene was Graveson.

On that opportunity just now, he and Zhang Tiehan grabbed the ball and were directly knocked to the ground. After getting up dizzy, Zhang Tiehan had already scored the ball, and he was busy telling the referee that Zhang Tiehan had committed a foul. But apparently the referee will not change his decision.

In fact, the referee didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

He defended Zhang Tiehan with small movements, and sometimes the actions were also very dangerous, and the referee kept paying attention, but now he grabbed the ball head-on with Zhang Tiehan and was knocked to the ground, is it a foul by the other party? Amusing!

The referee saw it clearly, it was a reasonable collision.

The two men collided shoulder to shoulder. There is no suspicion of any foul at all, if this is also a foul, there will be no physical contact in the football game, it is definitely impossible, this goal is quite neat. It is impossible for him to sentence Zhang Tiehan to foul, not to mention that this is Rome, and he doesn't want to be chased and intercepted by Roma fans after the game.

Graveson was helpless.

The opponent's goal is nothing, the big deal is to lose, but he recalled that he collided with Zhang Tiehan several times just now, and he suffered a loss, he secretly gritted his teeth and was depressed, but he must also admit that he was far behind physically.

Especially now, when Zhang Tiehan scored, Gravison felt that his teammates looked at him with disdain.

Fall when you touch it......

He felt this way, he fell three times, as long as he collided with the other person head-on, he fell, it was not a touch and fell down. But he could only smile bitterly, and at the same time regret a little, it was obviously Beckham defending this guy just now, why did he take the initiative to find something to do, isn't this an idle egg pain!

Now that you're in disgrace, what's next?

Looking at Zhang Tiehan, who was celebrating the goal with the Roma players on the other side, Graveson was secretly beating a drum in his heart.

……

Not only Graveson, but also the Real Madrid players are also very depressed, it should be said that the whole Real Madrid is very depressed, the first half is not over, they are already two goals behind.

Who would have thought before the game?

Any Real Madrid player knows the importance of this game, and among them, especially some of the old Real Madrid players, such as Luis Figo, such as Ronaldo, they are very unwilling.

Losing the game...... They couldn't have imagined!

They have been in the last 16 of the Champions League for two seasons in a row and will lose this game and will be out of the group stage and disgraced to the UEFA Cup.

Thinking of this, they looked at Zhang Tiehan again.

"As a striker, my gift is, of course, to score goals, since Mr. Perrotta appreciates me, then I will score a few more goals in the game, then Real Madrid can go to the League Cup, with the strength of Real Madrid, in the League Cup will definitely be invincible, when the time comes, a League Cup champion will not be able to run, I think a champion as a gift, Mr. Perrotta will be very happy."

These are Zhang Tiehan's original words before the game.

Every Real Madrid player knows that because in the dressing room, manager Lehman used this phrase to boost their morale, "...... If we lose the game, what will they say, 'Real Madrid should be grateful to Zhang, he gave Real Madrid a UEFA Cup trophy', can you live with the result?' ”

Can it be tolerated? Of course not!

But what about now, the opponent has scored, scored two goals, they feel powerless, do they really want to play in the League Cup, and try to win the League Cup recently?

No. What a shame!

……

Perhaps the Real Madrid players felt the shame, and after the game restarted, they played much better, at least fewer mistakes than before, and the attack became more threatening.

Roma had to retreat to strengthen their defenses.

After leading by two goals, they did not lose their cool. They all know that Real Madrid must be hoping to pull a goal back at this time, otherwise it will be difficult for them to play in the second half, after all, in 45 minutes, the difference between the two goals is too big.

However, it is also difficult for Real Madrid to find good opportunities, mainly because their central midfield is very contained.

In this game, Beckham was the starting midfielder, partnering with Graveson in the same position on the left and right, and Beckham's original position was right midfielder. But at Real Madrid, he is unlikely to start in this position, and it should be said that as long as Luis Figo can play, Beckham cannot play at right midfield, and he cannot compete with the influential Figo.

Beckham is not a small celebrity, he is the most influential star in England, but in the world. Especially in world football, his influence is not as strong as Figo's. Figo is Chinese New Year's Eve, and as early as 2000 he was named European Footballer of the Year for his outstanding performance, and in 2001 he was named World Footballer of the Year, the same year he helped Real Madrid win the Champions League.

Figo is arguably one of the most influential stars at Real Madrid. The only one who can reach Figo is Raul, a native of the Bernabeu.

David Beckham is an English star who only came to Real Madrid in 2003, and his influence is naturally not as good as Figo's, not only that. In terms of table, he is not better than Figo, who is thirty-two years old, but he is still quite strong, his breakthrough on the right side can be guarded by few players, and his breakthrough and passing are a great weapon in Real Madrid's attack.

So if Beckham wants to start, he has to adapt to other positions, and the midfielder is an option.

Beckham started the back, he and Graveson blocked Roma's attack together, and because Zhang Tiehan rampage in the Real Madrid half, Real Madrid did not have the advantage on the field, their formation is a little backward, in this way, it is very difficult for Beckham, who focuses on the offensive type, to play, the only thing he can do is to receive the pass and help the team with a long pass, but the long pass has limitations after all, and sometimes the front player may not be able to grab the ball, which makes the support of the Real Madrid midfield to the front court a little disjointed.

It's not just Beckham, in terms of attack, Real Madrid have other problems.

For example, the alien Ronaldo, he is no longer the genius of the 2002 World Cup, and now he is very physical, overweight, and he has too little movement, which makes it difficult for other Real Madrid players to pass the ball.

Figo on the right side is very active, but there has been no appearance since the opening, and Rome's blockade of Figo's side is quite tight, and Figo has to pass at least two Roma players if he wants to have a table, which is not easy.

The best of the table is Raul, Prince of the Bernabeu.

In the summer of 2003, Hierro and Morientes left Real Madrid one after another under Florentino's superstar policy, Raul took over the captain's armband from the old captain Hierro and became the youngest captain in Real Madrid's history. His position is behind Ronaldo, connecting Real Madrid's midfield in the middle, constantly running to bring the whole team's offensive rhythm, and excellent passes and passes have attracted the continuous cheers of Real Madrid fans.

But he's just fighting alone......

Just one person.

Raul is quite good, but the integrity of Real Madrid is too poor, and the other players are too poor in cooperation, it can be exaggerated to say that Real Madrid on the field now is like Raul + ten Real Madrid players, Raul represents Real Madrid, and the other Real Madrid players are just one by one, and their coordination and fluency are all big problems.

In this series of problems, Real Madrid attacked well, but it was difficult to get any good opportunities.

Roma is full of fighting spirit in the game, in order to limit the play of Real Madrid stars, after Zhang Tiehan scored the second goal, their formation shrank slightly, every player is running desperately, constantly defending, in the attack, the backfield is also under the command of Ferrari seems to be in order, not giving Real Madrid any chance.

Time passed little by little, and soon the first half was over.

The players of both teams walked out of the pitch with two different moods and went into their respective locker rooms to rest. (To be continued......)
