Chapter 163: Extreme Speed!

Zhang Tiehan's goal helped Roma take the lead, and at the same time made Bayer Leverkusen aware of the danger, they thought that there was no suspense in the game, and they played very relaxed, such a mentality was naturally very good, but now they found that their opponents were ahead.

They were in a hurry to equalize.

But they also saw danger - it turned out that Rome was not completely defenseless! They can still fight back and score goals!

It was Zhang Tiehan who scored the goal.

From passing to scoring, the speed is quite fast, and the only people involved are Totti and Zhang Tiehan, Totti's pass, Zhang Tiehan's goal, it's that simple, but the simple goal also shows that in addition to the level of Totti and Zhang Tiehan, Totti's wonderful pass and Zhang Tiehan's speed and shooting, the two together create a goal, which is the ability of an excellent player.

In the face of such a counterattack, the only thing Leverkusen can do is strengthen their defense.

As soon as the defense is strengthened, the defenders, and even the midfielders can not attack too far forward, and as a result, after the restart, Leverkusen attacked three times in a row, all of which were disjointed in the midfield, and when the football hit the front, the players in front found that they could not pass back, so they could only attack hard, and the results can be imagined.

The Bayer Leverkusen players were a little dazed.

Fortunately, at this time, captain Rolfes came forward to organize the attack, and the mentality of the Leverkusen players stabilized.

Gradually, Rome also had some offensives.

However, Leverkusen's defense is still quite solid, several defenders are in a coordinated position, and the restrictions on the front of the penalty area are very dense, and it is very difficult for Roma's attack to attack the hinterland, and Zhang Tiehan has been given special care - no Leverkusen player dares to underestimate him anymore.

Several attacks were unprofitable, and looking at the game time, Zhang Tiehan simply returned to the backcourt to defend.

Both teams have similar minds. The rest of the game was not much to watch, the two sides continued to fight in the midfield, it looked intense, but neither attacked too far forward, and there was not even a shot on goal in the last five minutes.

With the referee's whistle, the game went into halftime.

……

Away team locker room.

Roma players talk to each other about the game. Talking about the goal, many people just listened, silently sat in the corner to rest, experienced a defensive first half, they were very tired, although the team was ahead, but most of the players spent 45 minutes on defense, not to mention how much physical exertion, energy consumption is extremely much.

Fortunately, the team is ahead. Everyone's in good spirits.

When they talked to each other, they all talked happily, just waiting for Drinel to arrive.

When Drinel first arrived, few people took him seriously, just a former Chievo manager...... Compared to Capello, no, compared to Worrall, Drinel is not worth mentioning at all. He has been a football coach all his life, and his greatest achievement is coaching Chievo. He has no experience in coaching big teams at all, and no one is confident that he can lead Roma to what they can achieve.

But after this time together, they found that Drinel also has advantages, this old man is very friendly, and he will have a relaxed atmosphere in the team. Training, playing, what should be done, what can be done, he will do, he may not be as good as Capello in terms of ability, but he is not as strong as Capello. And there are no disadvantages of being particularly strict.

For example, now, everyone doesn't know how to play in the second half, but they still expect Drinel to say something and give them a specific tactic and routine.

Drinel walked into the dressing room.

The locker room was quiet and everyone looked at him, and Drinel nodded to everyone and praised the team's cousin, "Everyone did a good job. It's away from home and it's to be expected that we'll be passive," he said.

He then pointed out some of the problems in the first half.

"It was my tactical mistake." "But fortunately, the table is good, and of course, there is ...... Francisco."

When it comes to scoring goals, everyone laughs.

In the first half, they were passive, but in the end they were ahead, no matter how good Bayer Leverkusen played, they didn't score, which is also the success of all Roma players, that goal is of course thanks to Totti and Zhang Tiehan, in fact, from the launch of the counterattack to the goal, only Totti and Zhang Tiehan touched the ball, it was a successful anti-offside.

Drinel continued, "In the second half we had to take the initiative. ”

Drinel then started writing on the tactical board and told everyone what to do for the second half, and then he asked De Rossi to prepare for the game and gave advice to each player.

Again, the focus is on three players.

"Francisco, you need to move forward a little bit." He said to Totti.

"Zhang, your position is a little bit deeper, behind Vincenzo, we have to strengthen the midfield, your defense and your speed, you can bring a lot of support to the midfield, and your long-range shots are also very threatening." He gave a special explanation to Zhang Tiehan.

"Danielle, when you come on the pitch, you have to play harder and cooperate with Francisco more." He admonished De Rossi.

De Rossi's football has always been on the soft side, which is why Capello, Worrall and even Drinel don't like his starters, he focuses more on technique and neglects physical, and his style of play is soft, but his talent in attack is undeniable.

Such a change and exhortation is a strengthening of the midfield.

Totti moved forward, De Rossi played, Zhang Tiehan retreated, Montella himself in front, Roma's midfield will be greatly strengthened, relying on Zhang Tiehan's speed and scrambling, with Totti, De Rossi's skills, in Drinel's opinion, the team is enough to compete with Bayer Leverkusen in the midfield.

……

Fifteen minutes passed quietly at half-time.

At Bayer Arena, the fans of both teams have been waiting for a long time, and when the players of both teams take the field, the stadium returns to the atmosphere of heat.

"In the first half, Roma scored a goal from an offside position, which was the only goal of the first half, and Bayer Leverkusen had the advantage at home, but unfortunately their strikers didn't seem to have shooting boots and always missed the goal."

"Overall, the players in both teams are good, Bayer Leverkusen play well in attack and Roma are solid defensively."

'Bayer Leverkusen were a bit tough against a Roma side who defended well. They have to cherish their chances. ”

"Zhang, who scored in the first half, seized the only chance."

"The Prince's passing was quite impressive, and hopefully we can see his wonderful performance in the second half."

In the comments of various commentators, the second half of the game began.

Bayer Leverkusen are still attacking aggressively.

They are the side behind and the only way to get back on the same page with Roma is to score goals, leaving them with no other option. However, their attack was still fierce, and the combination was still skilful and tacit, and a series of light passes quickly cheered the Leverkusen fans all over the stadium.

"Beautiful! This is Bayer Leverkusen, their attack is gorgeous and functional! ”

Many commentators praised.

……

Bayer Leverkusen head coach Organthaler is in his seat.

His appearance was the same as at the start of the first half, still looking very calm, and there was even a smile on his lips, as if Bayer Leverkusen were now the leading side.

In Augenthaler's view, the situation remains under control.

His team trailed in the first half, but Roma had very few chances. Most of the time it was Bayer Leverkusen attacking, and the only goal was just an anti-offside position, which was a bit sudden, but it wasn't something that could be played if you wanted to, football games are like that, there are always accidents, and although they were behind in the first half, his tactics were fine.

As long as it goes on like this. It's a matter of time before you score goals.

However, at half-time, Augenthaler still gave some defensive advice to his players. The main thing is to let Juan and others pay attention to Zhang Tiehan, and let the midfielders limit Totti's passing, as long as Totti can be restricted, or Zhang Tiehan can be restricted, then there is nothing to be afraid of Roma's counterattack.

But soon he didn't see it that way......

Bayer Leverkusen's attack is playing well and their players are in good shape. But when they actually attacked, they found that the Roma team in front of them was completely different from the Roma in the first half.

In the first half, Roma struggled to fight back against their attack.

But just two attacks in a row, they failed to hit the penalty line. Football is stealed, a steal can be said to be an accident, two consecutive steals, especially two consecutive passes were stealed, it cannot be explained by an accident.

A lot of them found Roma changing formations in midfield.

The most obvious point is that Zhang Tiehan is standing in the middle of the Roman formation, if it is in the middle of the Roman formation, it is nothing, but when they attack, this thirteenth is still standing in the middle of the Roman formation, which is completely wrong, Zhang Tiehan is the center of Rome, the first striker, he stands in the middle of the formation, is Rome completely giving up counterattacking?

Wrong!

They spotted another striker, the famous 'little plane' Montella, at the forefront of the Roma formation.

Compared to the first half, it seems that Zhang Tiehan and Montella have reversed their positions, but what does this do? The Leverkusen players didn't understand it at first, but soon Zhang Tiehan made them understand it with practical actions.

After the start of the second half, Zhang Tiehan retreated a little and began to participate in the team's defense.

As a striker, he is naturally positioned higher than Totti and others, but when Bayer Leverkusen attacks the Roma half, Zhang Tiehan will also retreat to the edge of the penalty area. The Leverkusen players are obviously very unfamiliar with Zhang Tiehan, no, it should be said that they are very unfamiliar with his defensive ability, they have no idea how fierce Zhang Tiehan's defense is, so they immediately suffered.

Zhang Tiehan made two steals in a row!

One is a direct steal, the other is an intercepted pass, with a strong body and speed, as well as the two magical skills of 'seeing through' and 'controlling', Zhang Tiehan is definitely not worse than any player in terms of personal defensive ability, and it can even be said that the best defender in the world is worse than him in this regard.

After all, they don't have strong predictions, and they don't have eyes behind them.

After Zhang Tiehan participated in the defense, it was not easy for Leverkusen to break through the Roma defense, and soon they found that the changes in Rome were not only Zhang Tiehan, but also De Rossi, who had just come on the field, was quite active, and Totti was the same, after the steal, they were not in a hurry to counterattack, but slowly started to advance.

Passing, passing, passing......

That's how Roma's attack worked, they also used the guò pass to find opportunities, and the attack was played quickly and very threatening. After only five minutes of play, the fans could see that it was completely different from the first half.

First. Bayer Leverkusen is getting better and better, Roma is playing worse and worse, and now it's the other way around, Roma is playing better and better...... Bayer Leverkusen fans were a little unacceptable that they had the advantage in the first half, despite being behind. They also watched very well.

It's not cool now!

They suddenly had a bad premonition, if the game went on like this, they might really usher in a defeat!

They all gritted their teeth and looked at the figure of Number 13 standing in the middle of the court.

It was a German player, not at all popular with these Bayer Leverkusen fans, but the reason why the Bayer Leverkusen fans were staring at him was not only the goal in the first half, but also his current cousin, just now, he broke the ball again.

"God! It's Zhang ...... again, "The voice of the commentator at Bayer Arena is bitter. It's hard for him to imagine a player who can make three tackles in five minutes, "If he had switched to midfield, he would have done well." ”

He didn't know that Zhang Tiehan was originally born in the back waist.

Leverkusen players also have a relationship with Zhang Tiehan's defense, and when they attacked, they were a little constrained when they saw Zhang Tiehan's figure. They were afraid that Zhang Tiehan would break the ball again all of a sudden, but actually. Zhang Tiehan is not a fairy, naturally he can't break the ball for no reason, just three consecutive breaks, more because of the carelessness of the Leverkusen players.

They didn't know how terrible Zhang Tiehan's defense was, and even wanted to use their skills to get past Zhang Tiehan, but naturally they could only be cut off from the ball.

Zhang Tiehan didn't care.

He prefers to score goals. And not defensively.

……

Bayer Leverkusen players attach great importance to Zhang Tiehan's defense, but they don't know much about Zhang Tiehan, such as ...... His speed, they all know that Zhang Tiehan's speed is fast, but how fast is it?

They have no concept.

But someone knows Zhang Tiehan's speed very well. That's Totti, after a few months of getting along, Totti knows Zhang Tiehan's speed quite well, and he was really surprised when he saw Zhang Tiehan running as hard as he could for the first time.

When Bayer Leverkusen had just finished an attack and was returning to the defence, Totti returned to the back to receive Ferrari's pass.

He saw that Zhang Tiehan was near the center circle, and sent the ball to the front with a direct kick.

Zhang Tiehan is looking back at his teammates, his 'control' distance is only around the body, and he can't see the area that is too far away, so he has to look back, when he sees Totti passing forward, he immediately has a judgment to run forward.

That's exactly the same point as Totti's pass!

"What a tacit cooperation! Chang and Totti! The two have only been teammates for a few months, but seeing this pass, you may think that they have been teammates for several years......"

The Bayer Arena commentator said very blandly.

He wasn't very excited, because although Zhang Tiehan scored a goal, he was not very good at dribbling, so the football was at his feet, and the threat was not great, in his opinion, Zhang Tiehan would definitely have to pass back.

Not only the commentators think so, but the Leverkusen players also think the same way, they are afraid that Roma will counterattack, if the ball reaches the feet of Mancini, Del Vecchio or even Montella, they will be nervous, but Zhang Tiehan gets the ball, they are not nervous.

If you can't dribble, you can't break through, what's the use of getting the ball?

Thinking of this, the pace of the Leverkusen players has slowed down - after fighting for more than 70 minutes, they all feel a little tired, and at this time, when they really run, they will be out of breath, feel very tired, and their legs are a little heavy. The opponent has no threatening attack, so they don't bother to chase back quickly.

But at this moment, Zhang Tiehan suddenly put the ball forward!

Roque Júnior is just in front of Zhang Tiehan, he is also a central defender for Bayer Leverkusen, and he is a bit better at attacking than Juan, so he is positioned higher than Juan.

When Júnior saw Zhang Tiehan move the ball forward, he was stunned for a moment - he originally thought that Zhang Tiehan would protect the ball and wait for his teammates to come forward, so he defended in a hurry.

Still, he got stuck on the inside.

This kind of defense is simple and direct, but the effect is very obvious, if the opponent's footwork is not good, you can only dribble the ball to the side, which prevents the possibility of bursting into the penalty area.

Suddenly, Zhang Tiehan took the ball again!

Give it a hard ride!

The football rushed straight forward, which made Júnior even more stunned, he didn't know what Zhang Tiehan was going to do? What's the use of just playing like this? So the force is not deliberately cleared...... Just when he was thinking this, Zhang Tiehan had already rushed out.

That speed......

As soon as Júnior turned his head, his eyes swept to the figure of Zhang Tiehan rushing over, and then looked carefully, Zhang Tiehan was already in the way between him and the football. But Júnior was not in a hurry, in his opinion, Zhang Tiehan must not be able to chase the ball, the force just now was too great, as long as the goalkeeper Adler attacked, he would definitely be able to clear the siege before Zhang Tiehan.

He thinks so, and so do others.

Then they all watched Zhang Tiehan rush forward quickly, and at the same time Adler also attacked to meet the ball, both of them were chasing the ball, the football was closer to Zhang Tiehan, but it was rolling towards Adler, the two of them were getting closer and closer to the football, getting closer and closer...... Gradually, everyone felt that something was wrong.

That thirteenth, actually about to catch the ball?

They felt incredible, and they only watched as Zhang Tiehan chased the ball in front of Adler, and by this time he had already entered the penalty area and there were no defenders around him at all.

"Oh-!!"

Bayer Leverkusen fans in the stands couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this scene.

Before, they didn't expect Zhang Tiehan to chase the ball, and they thought that Adler's would successfully clear the siege, but in the end, the thirteenth was still one step ahead, he chased the ball in advance, and it was in front of Adler, in the penalty area, there was no one around to defend!

After Zhang Tiehan chased the ball, he directly made a trip to the ball, and then suddenly turned around and chased the ball again. Goalkeeper Adler's didn't react at all, the only thing he could do was to stretch out his hand and watch Zhang Tiehan raise his foot to shoot, expecting the football to hit his hand.

That's a good wish...... It's just a wish......

Zhang Tiehan chose to push, and the football rolled over the goal line without any suspense against the turf.

At this moment, the Roma fans exploded! (To be continued......)
