Juventus players still felt the pressure after all.
With the addition of Lin Supo, today's game really suffocated them.
Del Piero once again stood in the center circle to kick off the ball, his face full of solemnity.
After receiving the ball, Zidane did not try to pass Lin Supo, but chose to pass the ball.
Putting aside his personal grudges, he was still very sure of Lin Supo's abilities.
Juventus passed back to control the rhythm, and Roma, who was no longer in a hurry, stopped pressing much.
In the current situation, Roma has the advantage and there is no need to take risks. After the formation is spread out, it is easy for the opponent to find loopholes.
Conte performed well today.
Although he is not as good as Deschamps in terms of defense, his comprehensiveness is also something Deschamps does not have. The 29-year-old Juventus captain is thoughtful, good at using his brain, has a tough style of play, plenty of physical strength, and his running ability and jumping ability are very good.
He is strong and although his technique is not exquisite, he also has very good game reading ability.
Finding that Roma was not aggressive in pressing, he knew that today's game was a bit difficult.
Even when the relegation teams are shrinking, it is difficult for the giants to score goals.
There must be a way.
The ball came to Antonio Conte's feet again. Conte did not rush to pass the ball, but dribbled the ball forward himself.
The diamond midfielder lacks the ability to break through from the wing, so he must provide some help to his teammates.
When Lin Supo came up to press, Conte did not care and chose to hit the ball with a cross. Sopeto received the ball and passed it back. Dimas started dribbling the ball from the left to break forward.
After encountering a blockage, Juventus left back Dimas passed the ball to the midfielder again, and Conte still took the ball and knocked it across with a leisurely kick.
Lin Supo didn't mean to look down on Conte. Both he and Deschamps lacked gorgeous skills. Cantona looked down on such players very much and said Deschamps was a water carrier. But in the eyes of French coach Jacques
, Deschamps is the cornerstone of the team.
No team can be composed of players with gorgeous skills and elegant styles. Florentino, who came after selling Mark, understood this truth through failure.
"Juventus had the ball in midfield for a long time."
"It's stretching Roma's formation. If Roma doesn't press forward, it's hard for them to find opportunities to attack."
"Lin Supo pressed hard, but Juventus' passing was also very stable. They were not in a hurry to pass the ball forward."
Taking the ball again, Conte took advantage of Lin Supo's absence and dribbled the ball directly through the center circle, then immediately knocked the ball to the left.
Dimas took the ball and continued to move forward, but he was not Zidane and could not get rid of Cafu so easily. He could only pass back with one kick. Conte received the ball just right, right behind Dimas.
After taking the ball in the Roma half, Conte changed his previous slow performance and quickly twisted his left foot to send a through ball.
Zidane started almost at the same time.
The two people cooperated very well, and Zidane, who took the ball head-on, instantly attracted the attention of the Roma defense.
Aldair rushed forward to press. The French midfielder half-turned and leaned on Aldair with his body. Without even looking, he passed the ball with his heel.
Snapped,
Almost at the same time, Piero moved.
Del Piero took two steps to catch the ball without any adjustment, turned around and poked with his toes, sending a through ball.
"Damn it, behind you!
!”
Seeing the ball being hit into the penalty area, Van der Sar was startled and shouted.
Inzaghi's figure appeared again.
Filippo Inzaghi, who has always had little presence, still formed a single shot on the left side. After taking the ball for a few steps, he shot directly without giving Van der Sar a chance.
The ball went toward the near post. Van der Sar thought it was going to the far corner, but he still reacted quickly. Unfortunately, he couldn't stop it and the ball went in.
Taking the ball out, Van der Sar kicked the ball in anger, and the ball hit the net again.
"Damn it, can you act like a normal player when you're on defense?"
Van der Sar shouted while holding the ball.
"They play through balls again and again. Are you the ones responsible for watching Juventus perform and let them hit them with through balls every time?"
Aldair didn't look good, so Danny Blind hugged his Brazilian brother, who was much taller than him, and tried to persuade him a few words.
Not to mention in Rome, in the Dutch national team, such a big star Edwin van der Sar was scolded as well.
Besides, this isn't a personal grudge. If you don't play well and the goalkeeper scolds you, you have nothing to say.
Fortunately, there were no problems with Roma's 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 in the total score. If we can't score another goal, we will still be eliminated." Director Zhang said calmly.
Although the score was unfavorable, Roma performed well today and he felt that eliminating Juventus would not be a problem.
"Coach Zhang, I don't know if you noticed, but Van der Sar yelled at his teammates several times today."
"Haha, I saw it. Van der Sar is a really good goalkeeper. He can be called the biggest surprise of the summer for Roma. In addition to his strong strength, he also has great leadership. If his position is not too deep, he is really a good candidate for captain.
As the goalkeeper is the captain, many times he cannot communicate smoothly with the frontcourt players."
"That's true."
After the 15-minute break, the two sides returned to the stadium amid the cheers of the fans.
Roma fans sang their favorite song "Cup of Life", and the atmosphere immediately became Latin.
In the 55th minute, Lippi made the first substitution, replacing Filippo Inzaghi who scored the goal with Nicolas Amoruso.
"Ah? This substitution makes no sense. Although Inzaghi doesn't perform much, he threatens Roma's goal every time he appears. I don't understand Lippi's substitution."
"Who knows, maybe the head coach has his own ideas."
Director Zhang didn’t even know how to explain this substitution.
Today's Juventus goal and Inzaghi's previous shot were the two most threatening attacks. Then Lippi replaced Inzaghi. Did he not want to play?
A few minutes later, Lin Supo, who was chasing after him, helped Tomasi successfully steal the ball. Tomasi quickly passed it to Gattuso, and Gattuso immediately passed it to Lin Supo, who was running forward.
Lin Supo and Cafu played a one-two and continued to rush forward. 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 became even more excited when he saw it.
He likes to face famous players. As long as he steps on the opponent, Francisco can make headlines again!
The left foot and the right foot are moved in slow motion, and a set is formed.
Totti's cycling was a bit funny, like a circus performance. Conte stretched out his foot without thinking much. Totti suddenly pointed his left foot to the toe, hit the ball between Conte's legs, and ran forward with his head down.
.
Damn it!
Conte turned around, and his thick calves allowed him to complete the turn and rush out immediately.
But in the confrontation, Totti won.
After Totti took the ball, he bumped into Conte. The Juventus captain, who was unable to stand, almost fell to the ground. He put his hands on the turf and tried to stand up again.
Unexpectedly, Totti was more aggressive. He hit the ball again and let the ball pass under Conte's waist.
