Chapter 352: Totti Plays with Conte
The Juventus players were feeling the pressure after all.
With one more Lin Supo, today's game did suffocate them a little.
Piero once again stood in the centre circle to kick off, his face full of solemnity.
After receiving the ball, Zidane did not try to get rid of Lin Supo, but chose to pass.
Personal grievances aside, he is still very sure of Lin Supo's ability.
Juventus returned to control the rhythm, and Roma, who were no longer in a hurry, did not press much.
In the current situation, Rome has the advantage, there is no need to go up and take risks, and it is easy to be caught by the opponent after the formation is opened.
Conte did well today.
Although he is not as good as Deschamps in defense, but his versatility is also not possessed by Deschamps, the 29-year-old Juventus captain is thoughtful, good at using his brain, the ball, full of physical strength, and his running ability and bounce are very strong, although the technique is not delicate, but also has a very good ability to read the game.
Finding that Roma were not pressing aggressively, he knew that today's game was a bit difficult.
Even when the relegation team is shrinking, it is difficult for the giants to score.
Something had to be done.
The ball was again at the feet of Antonio Conte, who did not rush to pass the ball and broke forward with the ball himself.
The diamond midfielder lacks the ability to break down the flanks and he has to provide some help to his team-mates.
Waiting for Lin Supo to come up and press, Conte did not carelessly choose to knock a cross, Sopeto received the ball is a kick back pass, and Dimas began to break forward with the ball on the left side.
When it was blocked, Juventus left wingback Dimas passed to the midfielder again, and Conte still took the ball and knocked it unhurriedly.
Lin Supo didn't look down on Conte, he and Deschamps both lacked gorgeous skills, Cantona looked down on this kind of player very much, and said that Deschamps was a water picker, but in the eyes of French coach Jacques, Deschamps is the cornerstone of the team.
No team can be made up of players full of flashy skills and elegant style, and Florentino, who sold Mark, learned that in defeat.
'Juventus kept the ball for a long time in midfield.
"It's pulling Roma's formation, Roma doesn't press forward, they don't look for opportunities to attack."
"Lin Supo pressed fiercely, but Juventus's passing was also very stable, and they were not in a hurry to pass forward."
Conte, who took the ball again, took advantage of Lin Supo's absence to break through the center circle with the ball directly, and then immediately knocked the ball to the left side.
Dimas took the ball and continued to take it forward, but he was not Zidane, and it was not so easy to get rid of Cafu, so he could only pass back with one kick, and Conte received the ball just right, just behind the right side of Dimas.
After Roma won the ball at half-time, Conte reversed his previous slow performance and quickly twisted his left foot to send a through ball.
Zidane started almost at the same time.
The cooperation between the two people is very tacit, and Zidane, who is holding the ball head-on, instantly attracted the attention of the Roman defense.
Aldair rushed up to press with an arrow, and the French midfielder half-turned and leaned on Aldair with his body, and he didn't even look at a backheel pass.
syllable
Almost at the same time, Piero moved.
Piero ran two steps to catch the ball without any adjustment, twisted his toe and poked it to send a through stopper.
"Damn it, behind you!
! ”
Seeing the ball hit into the box, Van der Sar was startled and shouted.
Inzaghi's figure reappeared.
Philippe Inzaghi, who has never had a presence, still formed a lone knife on the left side, and after a few steps with the ball, he didn't give Van der Sar a chance to shoot directly.
The ball went down the near post, Van der Sar thought it was the far corner, but the reaction was still fast, but unfortunately it couldn't be stopped and the ball went in.
Scooping the ball out, Van der Sar kicked it in exasperation and hit the net again.
"Damn, can you act like a normal player when you're defending?"
Van der Sar yelled as he hugged the ball.
"People go straight every time, are you here to watch Juventus perform, and every time you let people go straight to the game?"
Aldair's face was not very good, and Danny Blind put his arms around his Brazilian brother, who was much taller than him, and persuaded him.
Not to mention in Rome, in the Dutch national team, so big star Van der Sar scolded.
Besides, this is not a personal grudge, and if you don't play well, the goalkeeper will scold you, and you have nothing to say.
Fortunately, there were no problems with the Roman defense in the next game, and they entered the halftime break with a score of 2:1.
"2:1 is not bad, but Roma is still behind on aggregate, and if they can't score another goal, they will still be eliminated." Director Zhang said unhurriedly.
Although the score was unfavorable, Roma did well today and he felt that eliminating Juventus was not a problem.
"Coach Zhang, I don't know if you noticed, Van der Sar yelled at his teammates several times today."
"Haha, I saw it, Van der Sar is a really good goalkeeper, it's the biggest surprise of the Roma summer, in addition to his strength, he is also very leader, if not too far back, he is really a good candidate for captain. The goalkeeper is the captain, and many times he can't communicate smoothly with the players in the front court. ”
"That's right."
After the 15-minute break, both sides returned to the pitch amid the cheers of the fans.
The Roma fans sang their favorite song "Cup of Life", and the atmosphere immediately became Latin at once.
In the 55th minute, Lippi made the first substitution, replacing Filipe Inzaghi, who scored, with Nicolas Amoruso.
"Huh? This substitution doesn't make sense, although Inzaghi doesn't show much, but every time he appears, he is threatening Roma's goal, and I don't understand Lippi's substitution. ”
"Who knows, maybe the manager has his own ideas."
Director Zhang didn't know how to explain this substitution.
Juve's goal today, and Inzaghi's shot before were the two most threatening attacks, and then Lippi replaced Inzaghi, is this not a desire to play?
A few minutes later, Lin Supo, who was chasing back, helped Tomasi to make a successful steal, and Tomasi hurriedly gave it to Gattuso, who gave it to Lin Supo who ran forward as soon as possible.
Lin Supo and Cafu came to a one-two, continued to rush forward, and when they were pressed, they found that there was no one around Totti, and quickly sent the ball to the left.
Antonio Conte chased after him, and Totti looked even more excited.
He likes to play against famous players, as long as he steps on the other side, he Francisco can make headlines again!
Left foot and right foot slow motion, up is a set of combos.
Totti's cycling was a bit funny, like a circus show, Conte didn't think much about stretching his foot directly, Totti's left foot was suddenly a little tiptoe, hit the ball between Conte's legs, and ran forward with his head bored.
Damn it!
Conte turned around, and his thick calves allowed him to complete the turn directly and burst out at the same time.
But in the confrontation, Totti won.
Totti took the ball and bumped into Conte, and the Juventus captain, who had not stood still, almost fell to the ground, holding his hands on the turf and trying to get back up again.
Totti was even more playful, as he knocked the ball again and let it pass under Conte's waist.
Twice in a row past Conte!
The Juventus captain's face darkened.
