0102 Conquest of Rome1

"Our boss told us, don't say cruel things, play hard balls."

This was the only thing Alan Smith said in an interview with the media after arriving in Italy. And Smith was the only player to be interviewed.

When the rest of the Leeds players arrived in Rome, they were actively preparing for the game, ignoring the Italian media and the crazy Roma fans.

'It only takes three goals for us to win against Leeds United.' This is the slogan shouted by Italian football show host Titzano Krudelli on a football show.

And this sentence was also adapted into a song by Roma fans, and it was sung non-stop next to the hotel where Leeds United stayed.

For this reason, the Roma police department also specially increased the security work of the hotel, but the effect was not obvious, and there were still fans who kept harassing the team.

After the evening's tactical lesson, George Lee returned to his room.

It wasn't long before Eddie Gray, the team's director of football in Rome, Italy, who had arrived with him, followed George Lee to his room.

"The results on the other side just now came out."

"Where did you win?"

"If we can advance, we will meet Basel of Switzerland in the next round."

George Lee pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, that means we play Basel in the next round, and then after we win Basel, it's who will come...... Bucharest ......"

George Lee forgot for a moment that the top 8 and his two opponents in the same half of the district.

Gray hastened to remind him.

"Bucharest Star and Bucharest Fast."

"That's right, it's them." George Lee said as he took off his suit and unbuttoned his neckline.

"You're so confident?"

"You know, I've been preparing for a whole month to prepare for these two games against Roma."

"Then it's up to tomorrow, and with this trend, we're likely to make it to the finals and even win the championship, George!"

Gray said in the end, a little excited.

The European title, even if it's just a Europa League title, is something all Leeds United players and fans can only dream of.

George Lee didn't say anything and began to drag his shoes.

"Who are we going to meet in the finals?"

"Seville." After saying that, George Li lay down on the bed.

"Are you so sure?"

"In the other half of the district, there are no strong opponents."

"Schalke 04? Zenit? ”

'Eddie, I've been preparing for Roma for a month and Sevilla for a year. I'm going to sleep, can you bring the door for me? ”

When Gray was about to say anything more, he found that George Lee had already started snoring with the quilt in his arms.

"It only takes three goals for us to win the Leeds United......" Roma fans could still be heard singing outside the window, and Eddie Gray walked over to help Lee close the window before preparing to close the door and leave.

At this time, Gray heard George Lee's hazy words.

"If you don't win Sevilla, then what is the UEFA Cup called......

Gray couldn't tell if George Lee had said this sentence on purpose, or if it was a dream talk.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Sky TV, and we're going to give you a glimpse of the Europa League match between Roma and Leeds United. We've already covered the starters for both sides, and the game will start soon. ”

"Today we heard that our Italian counterparts have invited the recently popular hostess Illalia Damico to be their guest commentator, and we are not far behind, we have also invited a beautiful lady to come to us as a guest commentator."

"Let's WelcomeLet's Welcome Ms. Kelly Brooke."

"Hi, I'm Kelly Brooke."

"Kelly, we know that Leeds beat Roma 4-1 at home in the last game, so what do you think of today's game?"

Brooke was also prepared, and after learning that she was going to be a commentator, she asked a friend in the football world to help with the preparation, and then she picked up a copy of the material she had prepared in advance and began to read.

'In the last Leeds game, they had a good effect with a high level of play on both flanks...... In today's start, we see that they should still use counter-attacks and speed to attack Roma's defense like in the last game...... It's mainly a matter of two wings......"

Brooke didn't see the male commentator Rob Hawthorn glaring desperately at her, motioning for her to stop talking.

Eventually, Hawthorn waited for an opportunity for Brooke to stop and quickly interrupted her.

"We are very grateful to Ms. Brooke for her analysis and we will see what happens."

After saying that, Hawthorn quickly wiped the sweat on his head, and then let Kelly Brooke continue, and the fans are estimated to change the channel.

Today, Leeds United directly discharged a formation similar to 352 here, although it is a bit like the 3241 that George Lee has been using before, but the discerning person knows at a glance that Leeds United is going to defend today.

The three defenders are still Mathieson, Albchesten and Mills, who usually play a back three, the two wings are Baines and Milner, the three midfielders are Parker, De Jong and Graveson, and the last two forwards are Smith and Van Persie.

So what Kelly Brooke said was the same as the last game, it is impossible to play on the two wings, and today these two wings are clearly playing defense with you.

The sharp counterattack from the last game is probably not visible today, because the two Danish wingers did not play.

Sure enough, after the opening, Roma continued the opening tactics of the previous game, wanting to attack through the position of the two frontcourt players in the waist, and today in order to protect them, De Rossi also specially stepped forward, just to play the role of protection and passing.

However, Spalletti's point was completely expected by George Lee, because of the presence of two full-backs, the premise that Leeds United's three defenders can be unscrupulous, plus the defense of two midfielders, Simeone Perrotta and Rodrigo Tadej basically can't see each other, let alone pass.

It can only be made again by passing back to De Rossi and Aquilani.

This back and forth, Spalletti's tactical role is lost.

Although there were no attacking players on the wing of Leeds United today, Van Persie was left alone in front of the field waiting for a counter-attack, and Smith basically returned to midfield to participate in the defense.

So Roma's two full-backs can be plugged in, but neither of Roma's two full-backs, Zivo and Panucci, are known for their assists.

Although Zivo is a versatile player who can play at left-back, centre-back and midfield, and is good at long balls and playmaking, he is not very fast, similar to Leeds United's Ian Hart and Layton Bynes.

And the most lethal point is that Roma's forwards are not the kind of players who are good at grabbing points like Vieri and Luke Toney, and Roma's crosses are basically ruined by Leeds United's three central defenders, and Vincenzo Montella really can't grab the first point.

Totti's injury and Cassano's winter transfer departure have caused Roma's attack to fall off a cliff.

Now that Roma are attacking poorly, then Leeds are about to start a counter-attack.
