Chapter 128: The Test

Updated: 2013-10-30

Atalanta with Degan this season feels like the kind of team that is crazy, once the momentum is played, it will be difficult to press down, after Deegan equalized the score, Atalanta's offensive became more and more fierce, and the scene looked like they were even pressing the Roma team.

The backfield is constantly high balls, playing directly in the penalty area of the Roma team, who let them have a strong center forward Degan, with an excellent sense of position, coupled with height and bounce ability, Degan's success rate in the front court for the header is very high, Mex's can only follow the non-stop frog jump behind him.

Speaking of which, Atlanta's tactics are not unusual, but they are very targeted, and although they are not beautiful and unsightly, they are very effective.

These Roma fans, who were as lively as the New Year just now, are also a lot more honest, although they are ball farts, but they can also see that they know that this final is definitely not as good as they thought.

The wind changed in a single ball, and these people were still praising the Roma team before, as if no one could stop them from winning the championship.

Unexpectedly, Deegan scored a goal at a critical moment, and the situation on the field immediately changed dramatically.

After Degan equalized the score early, although the Roma team's attack on the field was still vigorous under the leadership of Totti, but once Atalanta launched a counterattack, the Roma team immediately seemed helpless, Mex's ability was no problem, but Degan suppressed him to death.

Spalletti couldn't sit in the dugout either, since Digan equalized, he got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines, and still hasn't returned, frowning, thinking about how to solve the situation on the field.

Judging from the scene, the Roma team still has an advantage in possession, but what is the use of possession at this time, just thunder and no rain, no goals, and the goal is constantly tested by Atalanta.

Spalletti has always been a pragmatic manager, he doesn't want possession, but attacking efficiency, no matter how many shots he takes, it's useless not to score.

However, Atalanta's side played simply and roughly, every time he started a high ball from the back, as long as other players responded in time, he could always form a shot, which gave Spalletti a headache.

Panucci and Zivo don't dare to go up to participate in the attack now, because no matter who Mexes and Ferrari are, they can't deal with the powerful center of Digan when they are alone, while Pacini and Montolivo, Nocerino are very fast when they counterattack, and if the two fullbacks rush up at this time, it is very likely that they will not be able to take it back.

Obviously, this situation cannot be sustained forever, but how can it be solved?

To be honest, Spalletti didn't think about what to do yet, and the only thing he was looking forward to now was that Atalanta's crazy attacking rhythm could slow down on its own, and if it couldn't happen, he would drag out overtime.

Although Atalanta's tactics are effective, their style of play is also very physically draining, because the Atalanta players in the defensive counterattack always have to do repeated sprints from back to front and then from front to back, so their physical exertion is obviously much greater than that of Roma.

Knowing that they can drag the game into overtime, when the time comes, as the physical exertion increases, the little energy left will not be able to support them to continue to do this kind of switchback run.

By then, what will be left of an offensively weak Atlanta?

Isn't what they can rely on most now is a sharp counterattack?

Without counter-attack efficiency, Atlanta is like a tiger without sharp teeth, just a slightly larger cat, maybe not as scary as a cat.

After making up his mind, Spalletti also relaxed a lot, made a few gestures to the players on the field in succession, and then turned and walked back to the coach's box.

Spalletti was undoubtedly the right decision, as Atalanta's fitness reserves were very poor before the start of the season, and in the second half of the season, it was all luck and Degan's excellent performance that kept the team going.

Their fitness problems have long been in place, and now they are using this tactic of draining their energy, and soon the problem will appear.

Eighty minutes into the game, Lazzari once again rushed back from the front court, and after shoveling the ball at Dacourt's feet, he fell to the ground and did not get up, but pinched his left calf with both hands, and his expression was very painful.

When referee Corina saw this, the whistle sounded immediately.

Maxwell, the Atlanta player closest to him, ran over and pulled his leg up, straightened it and pressed hard, which was the easiest and most effective way to deal with calf cramps.

Of course, the Roma fans will think that the Atalanta players are deliberately delaying the game, because it has been 80 minutes, and suddenly the audience has booed, which is all sent by the Roma fans.

Unlike the fans, the Roma players have been instructed by Spalletti, and they are not in a hurry, one by one they walked to the sidelines to replenish their water, and Darkett stood outside the sideline with the football in his arms, watching the Atalanta players go about their jobs without urging them.

Anyway, it doesn't hurt to delay the game time for Roma now, but Atalanta should hurry up and not take advantage of the momentum after the equalizer to score as soon as possible, and this morale will gradually fall.

By that time, Atlanta had become a fish on the Roman chopping block.

So the Roma players don't mind at all whether they have real cramps or use them to delay the game, but are happy to see it.

Lazzari got back on his feet and got back into the game after being dealt with urgently, and they all knew now that they had to score another goal in the shortest possible time while the momentum was still there.

However, judging from the way Lazzari walks, he is still a little limping, and the cramps still affect him.

Mandolini didn't dare to slack off when he saw this, and hurriedly called Zenoni to warm up, he was already planning to replace Lazzari, after coming to the team from Nocerino, Zenoni has changed from the absolute main force to a substitute, he is slightly inferior in terms of strength alone, but the attacking ability, Zenoni is stronger than Lazzari, Mandolini replaced him at this time, and he must still hope to use Zenoni's physical strength to impact the back line of the Roma team.

Mandolini also knows that the team's physical strength can't last too long, Atalanta played so intensively for a whole season, for the first league championship in the team's history, almost exhausted all of Atalanta's mental strength, it is really to the point of exhaustion, maybe a straw can crush them to death, and the Atalanta players on the field now are completely fighting with the Roma team.

Maybe only Degan's physical fitness is considered haode, Montolivo has been playing intermittently since he returned from injury, and the impact of the injury on him is still there, and it stands to reason that he should not play for so long, but his role on the field is really important, Mandolini is now also planning to replace him, let Jimenez play, and use his physical strength and speed to impact the Roma team's backline.

Mandolini is making a substitution on his side, and Palesti is also planning to make a substitution on that side. He decided to bring on Greek Delas, who was the tallest defender in the Roma team, three centimeters taller than Degan.

Now on the field, Mexes is obviously not Degan's opponent, although Delas's turning speed is slow, and when defending, his movements are rough and easy to eat cards, but at this time, it is obviously more appropriate to use Delas's tower to deal with Degan.

The two managers had the best 10 minutes to play, with Atalanta deciding to go big and settle their opponents in 90 minutes, while Spalletti had to avoid the edge and use procrastination to drag Atalanta down physically before beating Atalanta in extra time.

Spalletti wanted to drag, but he forgot one person, that is Degan, did Deegan give him a chance to drag?

Deegan is well aware of the fact that his teammates' stamina is running out at a rapid pace, and of course he can't help them retain their stamina, and he can't run all over the field in place of them, both attacking and defending.

What can he do?

It's easy, goal!

As a striker, as the team's leading scorer, Deegan only needs to score, and as long as he can score another game, the game will be won.

However, Deegan wants to score another goal, it is obviously difficult for him to do it alone, he can't complete the kind of 1vn super goal in every game, that kind of ball not only needs strength, but also luck, and if he wants to score at this time, he needs everyone's support, especially his good friends Pacini and Montolivo.

But now, when he turned his head and saw that Montolivo was running crookedly, and he was shaking his head helplessly, Digan hurriedly ran over.

"What's going on, Ricardo?"

Montolivo shook his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I'm sorry! Rod! I may not be able to keep up with the game! ”

Saying that, he also beat his leg, and everyone in the team knew that Montolivo's previous leg injury had not completely healed at all, but in order to help the team win the championship, he paid in a hurry, and relied on closed needles for pain relief in every game.

Digan also knew Montolivo's current physical condition, and patted him on the back: "I'm surprised that you can last 80 minutes, Ricardo!" It's okay, I'll take care of the rest. ”

Montolivo looked frustrated, he lowered his head, so Degan put his arms around his neck and whispered in his ear to comfort him, and the two of them walked to the sideline together.

There, Jimenez was ready, and after returning from the warm-up, he stood on the sidelines, waiting for Montolivo to come down, and with him Zenoni, who was ready to replace Lazzari.

The Atalanta fans at the scene saw Montolivo and Lazzari off the field, and immediately applauded, they all knew very well that Montolivo and Lazzari had done their best for this championship, and Montolivo and Lazzari also raised their hands and applauded in response to the enthusiastic fans.

Roma also took advantage of this opportunity to complete the substitution, Delas replaced Mex, Lazzari and Montolivo went off because of physical exhaustion and physical problems, and Mexs was suppressed by Digan for the whole game, and there was no way at all, which was too big a blow for a big star who has always been used to being praised by people.

The game restarted, Roma pushed along the middle unhurriedly, and did not rush to hit the ball into the 30-meter area of Atalanta, just kept wandering outside, all they had to do now was not to concede the ball easily, and not let Atalanta fight back.

Atalanta wanted to attack, but because the team's fitness was declining too quickly, Deegan clearly felt that his support in the front court was decreasing, and even Pacini could not rush up every time he counterattacked, so many times he could only fight alone.

The reason why Degan's long ball was dangerous on the counter-attack was because Deegan had the support of his teammates, who jumped up to fight for the first landing point and ferried the football to his teammates, and it was because of this cooperation that he was able to create a threat to the Roma defence.

But now that Montolivo is off, Pacini has no stamina, Jimenez is also lonely, and he has to defend a lot of the time.

A lot of times Deegan has to figure out how to solve problems and create chances on his own, rather than waiting for his teammates to pass the ball to him. He has become harder than before, using all his strength to create opportunities.

Although the situation is getting more and more critical, Degan didn't even frown, even if he was alone in front of him and lacked support, he had to run, if he wanted to become a winner, he couldn't give up first, then there was hope. If you give up on yourself, you can't even save God.

Although the current situation is suppressed, there is nothing to complain about, and this is not how he has come over all season, most of the time?

This is just one of the necessary bridges in a competition, and I can't even cope with such a little difficulty, and I still say that I want to win the championship.

Atalanta once again launched a long pass from the back, and now Atalata's tactics look more helpless.

Deegan grabbed the point, and Delas did not come up to compete with Degan for the header at the first time, because he knew that it was a little difficult to grab the ball, and the lack of support teammates around Degan, even if the first point was controlled by Degan, as long as it could block Degan's way forward, Degan could not do anything, and it was so easy to single-handedly pick up the entire back line.

Degan obviously knew this, and although Pacini was running hard, he was too far away, and Jimenez pulled to the side, only to be defended by Pacini.

So Deegan turned around and shot a long shot, but the ball was really outrageous!

When he shot just now, it was too reluctant, although Degan has excellent ability, but as a striker, he needs strong support from the central midfield.

But Degan didn't have the heart to be upset, he didn't have time to be upset now, he wanted to score, he wanted to win this game.

As the game progressed, Atalanta counter-attacked less and less, and it was clear that they were at the end of their game.

Confidence was high on the Roma side, and on one occasion, Totti almost broke the scoring, and if it weren't for Taibbi's bravery with the post, Atalanta would have lost.

At this time, Mandolini on the sidelines also looked particularly anxious, in this situation, he was too desperate for someone to step up.

Atalanta needs someone to step up and put the final word on it.

Albertini picked up the ball at the back and the Roma players rushed up to cover him, and they did so often during this time, making it difficult for him to get the ball forward.

Albertini saw that he could not pass the football directly to the front, so he had to pass the football to Nocerino next to him.

At the same time, Nocerino was also targeted, and it was even more difficult for Nocerino to get the ball forward, so he could only pass the ball back to Albertini, who didn't care about adjusting, he looked up when he was running and found Digan's position.

When Nocerino's ball came over, he picked it up and kicked it over. This kick almost runs through the entire stadium, and it is also a ball on the ground, if the high ball is in the air, the time in the air is too long, the Roman defenders can have enough time to deploy, it is difficult to play a surprise role, and even if the high ball is passed, it is only for Digan to fight for the first landing point, no one can get the second landing point, if you can't control the second landing point, this kind of attack is meaningless, but quickly handed over the possession to the Roman team.

So Albertini chose boccia this time, so that at least the football could be passed to the feet of Degan and there was still a chance to fight.

Digan received Albertini's pass from the right side of the centre circle, and in front of him was a full half of the pitch and several Roma defenders.

And his teammates are still a little far away from him, and it is difficult to form a cooperation, basically Degan is now a loner, and can only choose to fight alone.

With time running out of time, Digan made up his mind, turned and drove the ball forward, started to accelerate, and rushed to the Roma half with the ball.

Roma's defenders immediately began to retreat, some followed, some responded to the sidelines, and some were ready to form protection before retreating to the big penalty area.

Spalletti also rushed to the sidelines and shouted: "Force him to the side!" Force him to the side! ”

Spalletti knew the danger of Degan and saw that his Jihua was about to succeed, and at this time, he didn't want any accidents.

At this moment, in front of Degan, there were all enemies, and he rushed forward with no indomitable speed.

Digan has a big heart, and he likes to play the role of a hero very much, the more unfavorable the situation, the more confident he is, at this time the strict defense of the Roma team, in his eyes, is like a small obstacle on the road to becoming a king, and after stepping over, his road to the king of the ball is one step closer.

Come on! Roman! I'm not afraid of you!
