0104 Conquest of Rome 3
Rome, Stadio Olimpic.
The Leeds United players who stepped onto the pitch again in the second half did not show much joy on their faces.
It's as if now they're not leading big on aggregate, as if it's them who are behind.
It stands to reason that Leeds United could have done almost anything to celebrate at half-time except for champagne.
If you ask why you can't open champagne, then George Lee can tell you that opening champagne is a bad character, he has heard in his previous life, AC Milan in Istanbul was overturned because of the early opening of champagne.
"Stay excited, but don't get too excited."
"Conquer Rome, conquer Rome, and then conquer Europe."
"Make sure you win this game first."
"Don't do things that don't need to."
This is what George Lee said to the players in midfield, short but powerful.
Tactically, George Li already feels that there is nothing to say, if Spalletti had a way, he would have used it a long time ago, and he would not hide it anymore.
What George Lee has to do now is not to underestimate the enemy, and then it is necessary to avoid injuries and suspensions, and the players need to keep a clear head on the field and play the current game. But as a coach, he needs to think about the next game, and if there is a suspension or an injury at this time, it will be very bad for the team.
However, it is really what to be afraid of, what to come.
In the 60th minute of the second half, Leeds scored another goal through a counter-attack.
It was again Van Persie's ghostly run that hit behind the Roma defence, but this time he didn't choose to hit the back of the net.
Because he appeared a little far away, he had to choose to pass.
Under Mex's defence, Van Persie played the ball with his left foot near the penalty spot near the baseline on the right side of the box, and Gravison, who was inserted, headed the ball into the net with a header.
2-0, 6-1 on aggregate.
After the goal, Gravison also made a gesture to shut up the home fans.
And then this became the fuse that led to the subsequent conflict.
With no hope of promotion and at the same time feeling insulted, the Roma players began to move bigger.
After a vicious foul on Milner, Milner fell to the ground holding his ankle.
Nearby Gravison, De Jong, and Smith immediately rushed over to find the murderer Zivo, and surrounded Zivo incessantly abuse.
Then at this time, the other Roma players started to come forward and the Leeds United players started to push.
The referee hurried over, chased away the players on both sides, and showed Zivo a yellow card.
This is just the beginning, after which both sides have become more aggressive.
Mancini Jr. broke through and Parker crashed off the field.
De Jong tripped as he pushed.
When Tadei was fighting for the top, he took an elbow of Mathieson.
Van Persie was on the ball when he was stepped on by Aquilani.
The real impact came in the 75th minute of the game, when Perrotta tackled Albchesten's back.
At that time, Albchestenson used his body to get in position, grabbed the ball of Perrotta, who was breaking through, and then prepared to launch a counterattack, who would have thought that Perrotta would catch up directly and put a tackle directly from behind, putting Albchestenson to the ground.
This is a direct red card action, and the behavior is extremely bad.
Leeds United's Albucheson friends rushed over as soon as possible, and De Jong came up and knocked Perrotta to the ground.
Then Perrotta covered her face and fell to the ground, rolling with Albucheson.
"What are you doing?" De Rossi grabbed De Jong's clothes from behind.
De Jong threw his hand back, trying to break free.
But De Rossi just won't let go.
Then, other players joined one after another, and nearly twenty people gathered in a group.
"Get up, don't pretend." "Murderer, coward, phew~"
Seeing Perrotta, who was obviously pushing his chest, but covering his face, De Jong was very disdainful.
"Calm down, calm down~" Smith and Van der Sar hurriedly persuaded their teammates to leave.
"Go away~" Roma is where former Leeds United player Dacourt pulls away his teammates one by one.
"Referee, my teammate obviously didn't attack his face, he pretended." Seeing his teammates get out of the way, Smith began to find the referee to explain.
And at this time, De Rossi also began to come to the referee.
The referee waved his hand.
Then he pulled out a red card, first pointing at Albuchesten, who had just gotten up, and then showing it to Perrotta, who had committed a foul.
Then, pointing at Perrotta, he showed De Jong a red card.
"Shh~" Roma fans started, partly because they felt that the referee gave Perrotta a red card too much, and partly because of De Jong, who was sent off.
"Referee, why ......" and "Is it ......" Smith and De Rossi continued to explain to the referee.
Then the referee continued to pull out the cards and gave De Rossi a yellow card.
"Shhhhhh
"Captains of both teams, please restrain their local players." After the referee informed De Rossi and Smith, they ran away.
Albchestenson signaled that he was okay and could continue.
"Shhhh
Because the two sent off De Jong and Perrotta were arguing as they went down.
When they finally came to the sidelines, the two twisted together again.
George Lee and Spalletti rushed over and pulled their respective players away.
"Calm, calm, forget what I said at halftime."
"Boss, it's their ......"
"I know, I know, you go straight to the locker room now, we'll win when we come out, okay?"
De Jong nodded, and George Lee asked John Sheridan to quickly take De Jong back to the locker room.
Then, he looked at Spalletti, who was still talking to Perrotta on the other side, and a wave of anger welled up.
Okay, if you lose like this, you will make trouble for me, Romans, you will wait for me.
"Kevin, Dennis, are you done with the warm-up?"
With the appearance of Kevin Davis and Glen Char, it is a sign that George Lee does not want to let Roma go just yet.
On 84 minutes, Glenschal used his speed to break through and cut inside and pass the ball to Kevin Davis, who was stuck in the box with his back to Bovo, and Davis was doing it back to Smith who was following him.
Smith fired a fierce shot from the edge of the penalty area that bounced off the post.
3-0, 7-1 overall.
After the goal, Smith made a three-finger gesture towards the camera and told all the fans that it wasn't Roma who scored three goals for us today, but we scored three goals for Roma.
In the end, Leeds United eliminated Roma with two big wins and advanced to the next round of the Europa League.
^^^
After the game, in an interview with reporters, George Lee showed a rare lack of cooperation.
From beginning to end, it's "um", "ah", "next".
Only one sentence was uttered.
"We at Leeds United, we don't like to talk harshly, we only play hard."
This sentence that Smith said before the game came out of George Lee's mouth again.
That night, Leeds United left Rome by plane and flew back to England.
"They conquered Rome, but didn't stay" was the front page of the local newspaper in Leeds the next day.
There was no Petu on the first page of the newspaper, and there was only a bright red scoreline, 7 to 1.
