Chapter 128 Test
With Degan's Atlanta this season, it feels like the kind of crazy team. Once the momentum comes out, it will be difficult to suppress it. After Degan equalized the score, Atlanta's offensive became more and more fierce. It seems that they are even playing against Roma.
The backcourt keeps playing high balls and playing directly in the Roma team's penalty area. Who let them have the strong center? With an excellent sense of position, coupled with his height and bounce ability, Degan's success rate of the header in the front court is very high, and Mex can only follow the frog jump behind him.
Speaking of which, Atlanta's tactics are not unusual, but they are very targeted. Although they are not good-looking and have no ornamental, they are very useful.
These Roman fans who were as lively as the Spring Festival just now are also much more honest. Although they are farts, at least they can see that this final is definitely not as easy to play as they thought.
The wind changed between a ball. You should know that these people were still praising how powerful Roma was before, as if no one in the world could stop them from winning the championship.
Unexpectedly, Degan scored a goal at a critical moment, and the situation on the court immediately changed dramatically.
After Digan equalized the score, although the Roma team's attack was still strong under the leadership of Totti on the scene, once Atlanta launched a counterattack, the Roma team immediately seemed helpless. There was no problem with Mex's ability, but Degan suppressed him to death.
Spaletti can't sit on the coach's seat. Since Degan equalized the score, he got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines. He hasn't gone back yet. He frowned and thought about how to solve the situation on the field.
Judging from the scene, Rome's possession rate still has an advantage, but what's the use of possession rate at this time? It can't rain without thunder, and the goal is still constantly tested by Atlanta.
Speretti has always been a pragmatic head coach. What he wants is not the ball control rate, but offensive efficiency. No matter how many shots he has, it's useless to score goals.
Atlanta plays simply and rudely. Every time he starts a high ball from the backcourt, as long as other players receive it in time, he can always form a shot, which makes Spalletti a headache.
Panucci and Zivo dare not participate in the attack now, because no matter who they are, Max and Ferari can't deal with the powerful center of Degan alone, and Pacini and Montolivo and Nocelino are very fast when counterattacking, if the two full-backs rush up at this time. If you go, you may not be taken back.
Obviously, this situation cannot last forever, but how to solve it?
To be honest, Spalletti didn't think about what to do. The only thing he expects now is that Atlanta's crazy attack rhythm can slow down by himself. If it really doesn't work, he will drag overtime.
Although Atlanta's tactics are effective, their playing style also consumes a lot of physical energy, because the Atlanta players in the defensive counterattack always have to do repeated sprints from back to front, and then from front to back, so that their physical consumption is obviously much larger than that of Roma.
knows that the game can be dragged into overtime. At that time, with the increase of physical energy consumption, the few remaining physical energy will not be able to support them to continue such a return run.
At that time, what else can be left in the weak Atlanta?
Isn't the sharp counterattack they can rely on most now?
Atlanta without counterattack efficiency is like a tiger without sharp teeth. It's just a slightly bigger cat. Maybe it's not as scary as a cat.
After making up her mind, Spalletti also relaxed a lot. She made several gestures to the players on the field and turned back to the coach's bench.
Spaletti's decision is undoubtedly correct. Atlanta's physical reserves before the start of this season were very imperfect. By the second half of the season, it was completely good luck and Degan's excellent performance supporting the team's progress.
Their physical fitness has been wrong for a long time, and now they use this tactic of consuming physical energy, and soon the problem arises.
When the game was 80 minutes, Lazari rushed back from the front court again. After shoveling the ball under Dacote's feet, he fell to the ground and did not get up. Instead, he pinched his left leg and calf with both hands, his expression looked very painful.
Seeing this, the referee Corina immediately sounded the whistle.
Maxwell, the closest Atlanta player to him, ran to pull up his leg, straightened it and pressed it hard. This is the simplest and most effective way to deal with calf cramps.
Of course, Roma fans will think that the Atlanta players are deliberately delaying the game, because it has been 80 minutes, and there are boos at the scene, which are all made by Roman fans.
Differed from the fans, the Roma players had been instructed by Spalletti, but they were not in a hurry. One by one, they went to the side to replenish the water. Dakota stood outside the sideline with the football in his arms, watching the Atlanta players busy without saying a word of urging.
Anyway, there is no harm in delaying the game now, but Atlanta should seize the time. If you don't take advantage of the momentum after equalizing the score and score goals as soon as possible, the morale will gradually fall.
At that time, Atlanta became the fish on the Roman chopping board.
So Roma players now don't mind whether they really have cramps or use cramps to delay the game. On the contrary, they are happy to see the success.
After Lazari was urgently dealt with, he stood up again and threw himself into the game. They are now very clear that they must score another goal in the shortest time while the momentum is still there.
However, judging from Lazari's walking posture, he is still a little limping, and the impact of cramps on him is still there.
Mandolini did not dare to neglect this and quickly asked Zenoni to warm up. He had planned to replace Lazari. After coming to the team, Zenoni changed from the absolute main force to a substitute. In terms of strength alone, Zenoni is slightly inferior, but Zenoni is stronger than Lazari, Mando. Lini replaced him at this time and must still hope to use Zenoni's physical strength to attack the Roma team's defense.
Mandolini also knows that the team's physical strength can't last too long. Atlanta has played such a high intensity all season. For the first league championship in the team's history, it has almost exhausted all Atlanta's mental strength. Maybe A straw can crush them to death, and now the Atlanta players on the field are completely fighting with Roma.
Perhaps only Degan's physical strength is good. Since Montolivo returned from injury, the game has been intermittent, and the impact of the injury on him still exists. It is reasonable that he should not play for such a long time, but his role on the field is really important. Mandollini is now going to replace him and let Xi Menez came out and used his strength and speed to finally hit the Roman team's defense.
Mandolini is brewing a replacement, and Palesti is also planning a replacement. He decided to replace the Greek Dras, who is the first defensive player in the Roma team, three centimeters higher than Degan.
Nowadays, Mex is obviously not Degan's opponent. Although Dras's turn is slow and his movements are rough and easy to play cards when defending, it is obviously most appropriate to use Degas's tower to deal with Degan.
The head coaches of both sides strategize in the last ten minutes of the game. Atlanta decided to do a big job and solve the opponent within 90 minutes of the game. Spalletti had to avoid his sharpness and use drag-and-line to drag down Atlanta's physical fitness, and then beat Atlanta in overtime.
Spaletti wanted to procrastinate, but forgot a person. That's Degan. Will Degan give him a chance to procrastinate?
Degan is also very clear about the fact that his teammates' physical strength is passing rapidly. Of course, he can't help them retain their strength, nor can he replace them to rush all over the field, both offensive and defensive.
What can he do?
It's very simple, goal!
As a striker and the team's main scorer, Degan only needs to score goals. As long as he can score another goal, he will win the game.
However, if Degan wants to score another goal, it is obviously difficult to achieve it alone. He can't complete that kind of 1VN super goal every game. That kind of ball requires not only strength, but also luck. At this time, if he wants to score a goal, he needs everyone's support, especially his good friends Pacini and Montolivo. Right arm.
But now when he turned his head and saw Montolivo running crookedly and shaking his head helplessly, Degan ran over quickly.
"What's going on, Rikado?"
Montolivo shook his head, laughed at himself and said, "Sorry! Rod! I may not be able to stick to the game!"
With that, he still beat his leg. Everyone in the team knew that Montolivo's previous leg injury had not completely healed, but in order to help the team compete for the championship, he hurriedly paid and had to rely on a closed needle to relieve the pain every game.
Digan also knew about Montolivo's current physical condition and patted him on the back: "I've been surprised that you can hold on for 80 minutes, Rikado! It doesn't matter. Leave the rest to me."
Montolivo looked very depressed. He lowered his head, so Digan put his arms around his neck and whispered in his ear to comfort him. The two walked to the sidelines together.
There, Jimenez was ready to warm up and stood on the sidelines, waiting for Montolivo to come down. With him was Zenoni, who was ready to replace Lazari.
When the Atlanta fans at the scene saw Montolivo and Lazare's move out, they immediately applauded. They all knew very well that Montolivo and Lazare had done their best for the championship. Montolivo and Lazare also raised their hands high and applauded in response to the enthusiastic fans.
Rome also took this opportunity to complete the substitution. Dras replaced Mex. Lazari and Montolivo ended up because of physical energy consumption and physical problems. Mex was psychologically wrong. Throughout the game, he was suppressed by Degan. There was nothing he could do. For a big star who has always been used to being praised, the blow is too big.
The game restarted, and the Roma team did not slowly push along the middle road, nor was in a hurry to hit the ball into the 30-meter area of Atlanta, but just kept wandering outside. What they have to do now is not to lose the ball easily and prevent Atlanta from fighting back.
Atlanta wants to attack, but because the team's physical fitness declines too fast, Degan obviously feels that his support in the front court is decreasing. Even Pacini can't rush up every time he fight back, so many times he can only fight alone by himself.
The reason why Degan's long pass was threatening in the counterattack was that Degan had the support of his teammates around him. He jumped up for the first landing point and ferryed the football to his teammates. It was because of such cooperation that he could pose a threat to Rome's defense line.
But now Montolivo is dead, Pacini has no physical strength, and Jimenez is also alone when he comes up, and he often has to defend.
Many times Digan has to find his own way to solve problems and create opportunities, instead of waiting for his teammates to pass the ball to him. He has become harder than before and can do his best to create opportunities.
Although the situation is becoming more and more critical, Digan didn't even frown. Even if he is left alone in front of him, lacks support, he still has to run. If he wants to become a winner, first of all, he can't give up, and then there is hope. If you give up even yourself, you can't even save God.
Although the current situation is suppressed, there is nothing to complain about. Isn't that how he came through most of the season?
This is just one of the necessary scenes in a game. I can't even cope with such difficulties and say that I want to win the championship.
Atlanta launched a long backcourt pass again, and now Atra's tactics look more helpless.
Degan grabbed the point, and Dras 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 even if Degan's teammates who lacked support were controlled by Degan, as long as Digan's way forward could be blocked, Degan could do nothing. It's not so easy for one person to single out the whole line of defense.
Degan obviously knew this. Although Pacini was running hard, he was too far away. Jimenez was pulled to the side road, but was defended by Pacini.
So Degan turned around and made a long-range shot, but the ball was really ridiculous!
When he shot just now, he was too reluctant. Although Degan has outstanding ability, as a striker, he needs strong support from the midfield and backcourt.
But Digan is not in the mood to be annoyed. He doesn't have time to be annoyed now. What he wants is to score goals and win the game.
As the game progressed, Atlanta's counterattacks became less and less, and it was obvious that they were at the end of the crossbow.
Roma's confidence was high, and even once, Totti almost broke the door. If it hadn't been for Tibi and the goalpost, Atlanta would have lost.
At this time, Mandolini on the sidelines also seemed particularly anxious. In this situation, he too hoped that someone could stand up.
Atlanta needs a person to stand up and make a final sound.
Albertini took the ball in the backcourt, and the Roma players rushed up to encircle him. During this period, they often did this, making it difficult for him to move forward.
Albertini couldn't pass the football directly to the front, so he had to pass the football to Northerino next to him.
At the same time, Nocerino was also targeted. It was even more difficult for Nocerino to move forward. He could only pass the football back to Albertini. Albertini did not have time to adjust. When he was running, he looked up and observed Digan's position.
When Nocerino's ball came, he kicked the football with a kick. This foot almost runs through the whole court, and it is also a ground ball. If the high ball is high, it will fly in the air for too long. Rome's defenders can have enough time to defend, which is difficult to play an unexpected role. Moreover, even if the high ball passes, it only allows Degan to compete for the first landing point, and no one can get it. The second drop, if you can't control the second drop, such an attack is meaningless, but quickly handed over the ball to the Roma team.
So Albertini chose to play the ground ball this time, so that at least the football can be passed to Degan's feet and there is still a chance to fight.
Degan received Albertini's pass from the right side of the middle circle, with a whole half of the court and several defenders of Roma.
And his teammates are still a little far away from him, and it is difficult to form a cooperation. Basically, Degan is now alone and can only choose to fight alone.
There was not much time left for the game. Degan made a decision, turned around and drove the football forward, started to accelerate, and rushed to the half of the Roma team with the football.
Roma's defensive players immediately began to retreat, some defending, some responding on the sidelines, and some preparing to form protection before retreating to the penalty area.
Spaletti also rushed to the sidelines and shouted: "Forcing him to go to the side road! Force him to go to the side road!"
Sparetti knew the danger of Degan and saw that his plan was about to succeed. At this time, he didn't want any accidents.
At this moment, in front of Degan, there were all enemies, and he rushed forward.
Degan has a big heart, and he likes to play the role of a hero very much. The more unfavorable the situation is, the more confident he is. At this time, the Rome team's strict defense seems to be a small obstacle on the road to becoming a king. After crossing, his road to the king is one step closer.
Come on! Romans! I'm not afraid of you!
