Chapter 538 and Rome's Second Round 2

At the Rome Olympic Stadium, the shouts of fans resounded through the sky!

Nearly 100,000 fans came to the stadium. There are also many fans watching the game at close in the open space on the left side of the stadium. I don't understand the atmosphere of the competition. I thought I saw the Champions League final, but in fact, this is just a top 16 of the League Cup, and it is "a game without suspense" in many media.

Newcastle United, which defeated Rome in the first round, did not have all the main lineup today, which gives the Roma fans a little hope. Those who come to the scene are all loyal Roma fans. Of course, they hope that the team can have the promotion. Most of them come with hope, otherwise they will definitely lose the game, even if they are loyal. Real fans certainly don't want to see it.

However, some fans are still slightly disappointed, because Newcastle United's No. 10, that is, Don Jack, also sat on the bench...

Jack from England. Li, the name has surpassed the average star in the hearts of many fans and has become the first person in football in the new era. Many Italian fans also think so, so they hope to see Don Jack play. There are not many opportunities, but at the same time, Newcastle United's opponent is Rome. If Don Jack plays, if If you behave well, there is no chance for Rome.

These Roman fans are very contradictory.

Of course, most fans are still interested in Rome, but there is still a discordant sound in the stands on the east side of the stadium. They most want to see Don Jack perform well. Unknown people will think that they are Newcastle United fans. In fact, they are also Roma fans, but they support Rome's s sworn enemies. ---Lazio.

In the city of Rome, Roma and Lazio are sworn enemies, and naturally their fans also hate the opposing team. In recent seasons, Lazio's results have not been very good, and although Rome does not have the possibility of competing for the league championship, they are still ranked high in Serie A and can participate in European competitions. These Lazio teams are organized to watch the Rome game and cheer.

This kind of thing sounds strange, but it often happens in Rome.

The Rome Olympic Stadium is the home of the Rome team, and it is also the home of Lazio. Lazio fans are also familiar with it. They come to the stadium to watch the ball and cheer the opposing team. Naturally, they hope that the other team does not perform well.

Whether out of hostility to Rome or hoping to see Don Jack's performance, these fans must support Newcastle United.

Newcastle fans who came to the scene found their 'comrades-in-arms'. It turned out that not only they, but also other fans supported Newcastle United to win!

However, seeing that Don Jack did not play, half of Newcastle United's starting lineup is substitutes. These two fans who support Newcastle United are a little worried. Although Newcastle United has an advantage at home in the first round, it can't be said that they will definitely qualify. Now such a starting lineup, in case Rome It's really dangerous to be powerful.

###

In fact, Newcastle United will certainly consider this issue.

They defeated Roma with three goals in the last round and returned to Rome's home court. Naturally, they also had a chance to win back three goals. However, Sones still did not send all the main lineup, and Don Jack was also placed on the bench. In doing so, Sones is naturally confident, because Newcastle United chose defense in this game!

Defensive!

This has never been the style of Newcastle United, but when Don Jack did not play, Amyobi and Nzobia did not come to Rome on both wings. Only Dyer, Janus and the old Hiller were on the court, the purpose of doing so was to preserve the strength of the league.

For Newcastle United, it is crucial to play well in the league.

Defensive counterattack is the way the team plays in this game!

This tactic is very passive when playing against an ordinary Premier League team. Just because of the style of Newcastle United, the defensive counterattack does not give full play to the strength of the team. Instead, it is also possible for the opponent to take advantage of it and easily score a few goals, but this game is special - the opponent is an Italian ball. Team!

The style of the Italian team is just restrained by the defensive counterattack, and it can't be said. In detail, this kind of play will make it difficult for the Italian team, which is not good at full attack, to score too many goals. If it is the final that determines the victory or defeat in a game, the defensive counterattack will make Newcastle United face Roma with almost nothing. The power of the hand, however, the team does not want victory in this game. The purpose is not to let Roma score three goals and the team does not score a goal.

This requirement is too easy. The defensive counterattack is the best way to save the team's strength.

Roma does not know the strategy of Newcastle United. Many Roma fans, including Roma players, feel that it is Newcastle United's careless, and what they need is the care of their opponents. Otherwise, they won't even have a chance!

When the game began, Rome's attack began.

Roma is three goals behind and can only try their best to attack. They have no choice. Continuous goals can bring opportunities to Rome. All the players have worked hard from the beginning of the game and paid 100% of their energy to face the game, which brings a lot of pressure to Newcastle United's defense.

At the Rome Olympic Stadium, this magnificent home court, Roman players can exert 120 percent of their personal ability. The shouts of nearly 90,000 Roma fans give the Roma team great fighting spirit. They go to the game with sufficient confidence. This is the confidence brought to them by the glory of the fans and the team, bringing Their blood is the so-called home advantage. Without playing in this atmosphere, it is difficult to have this invisible spirit. It is like the will of the fans to bring to the team and let the Roma play a stronger strength.

And the only thing brought to Newcastle United is passive.

However, Newcastle United has already thought of a strategy, that is, to strengthen the defense. At the beginning of the game, Newcastle United's defense is very backward. What Soness means is to use the sea of people tactics to hinder the Roma team's attack and give them as few opportunities as possible. As long as they can delay the time, it is Newcastle United. The victory.

This kind of play is very passive.

Don Jack, who was sitting on the bench, looked at the game on the court, but he didn't think about anything. He was just watching the situation of the two teams. In fact, he would definitely disagree with such a way of play. In his opinion, the football game should be brave and upward. It is too passive to play with this utilitarian style. With his own strength, he can lead the team to defeat Roma with an advantage.

But the head coach didn't let him play because of the consideration of the team, and there was nothing he could do.

In fact, since that breakthrough in his mood, Jack Don has been able to face all this calmly. In his opinion now, it's certainly good to be able to lead the team to victory. It doesn't matter if he can't play. This does not affect his career and the impact on the fans, even his income, and those who don't It doesn't matter at all.

Football is just a career, not a life.

This is a detached state of mind. Don Jack can face all this indifferently, which is the improvement of the state of mind.

Not to mention this, Newcastle United is completely passive in the game. The Roma team can be said to be attacking 11 people around Newcastle United at half, but they don't have many opportunities: Newcastle United's eleven players are all in their own half. Even if they use human wall tactics, there are not many ways for Rome.

This method even makes Don Jack feel very powerless when facing it, and even more about ordinary stars such as Rome.

They had no choice but to continue to attack, but the failure of the attack again and again was a great blow to the confidence of the Roma players, because they could not afford to procrastinate, and the loss of time was a failure for Rome. At this time, they understood the strategy of Newcastle United: using human sea tactics to drag time, this kind of utilitarian tactic, let Luo There is no good way to scold the coach and the Roma players in their hearts.

The Roma team can only work hard to score goals, which is their only hope...

In the thirty-seventh minute of the first half, Roma finally got a good chance. In the failure of Newcastle United's counterattack, Hiller's shot was held in the arms of the Roma goalkeeper, and then the Roma team launched a quick attack.

Due to the attack just now, Newcastle United was a little chaotic in the half. Just now, the ball was still on its own side. Shearer's shot did not hit the player and just wanted to go back to the defense, but the formation was not as stable as just now. When the football reached the foot of the Roma team, it would take time for the players to quickly return to defense, and soon the football was handed over to Rome. At the foot of the core Totti.

The last time the two teams played, Totti did almost nothing on the court.

After the game, Totti was scored six points by the English media, which is a very low score for the core of a team, indicating that Totti has only done the basic work that one player should do, and there is no outstanding performance. Totti was very interested in that game. He hoped that he could let the fans see his strength this time and fight for a chance for the Roma team.

When he got the ball and knew that it was a good opportunity, Totti chose to carry the ball by himself. After more than ten meters in a row, Totti had come to Newcastle United's half. He hooked the ball and pushed the ball to the foot of Montella, who ran to the position with his right foot.

In Italy, Montra has nicknames such as "small plane" and "glider". His full name is Vincento. Montella started his football career in 1990 in the then Italian third division team Empoli, and then transferred to the second division team Genoa in 1996 and became famous in Sampdoria. In the summer of 1999, Montella transferred from the relegated Sampdoria to Rome for 13.8 million pounds.

Since his first appearance in Serie A in 1996, he has been proud of his extremely high scoring rate. Because of his genius, Sampdoria used unconventional means to grab him from his rival Genoa.

Empoli of the third division team and Genoa of the second division team were the beneficiaries of Montela's fatal blow, scoring 38 goals in his 64 league games in the mid-1990s. When he moved to Sampdoria to start his Serie A journey, the goal storm continued.

Montera spent three good seasons in Samp, scoring 54 goals in 73 games.

His high efficiency continued to Rome. He scored four goals in the derby against his rival Lazio, and scored two hat-tricks in the Olympic Stadium against Bari and Fiorentina.

Montra's power in the penalty area frightles every opponent. He can shoot at any angle in the penalty area. He is a high-yielding shooter in Italian football, nicknamed Glider. In the 2000 European Championships, he won the runner-up with the Italian team. The glider-like celebration is still fresh in the memory of all fans. He is an excellent striker with a high scoring rate in Italy and has been ranked second in the Serie A scorer list twice.

This is Montra.

Although he is old now, Montella's deterrence has also decreased, but he is still an indispensable member of the Roma team. When receiving Totti's pass, Montella pits Newcastle United defender Brabo in the left corner of the penalty area and rushed to the ball to the bottom line. Brabo had no choice but to keep up in the squeeze, right here. At that time, Montrahu turned around. When Brabo was stunned, the former suddenly raised his foot and turned around and shot directly!

Impossible is impossible!

No one expected Montra to shoot!

This goal may not be a classic long ago, but it makes Newcastle United and the fans see the reason why Montella became famous: he does not have a surprisingly strong body and does not have the best technology in Europe, but Montra's flexible body gives him the ability to shoot anywhere in the penalty area, which makes all The defenders have a headache because they can't predict when Montella will shoot.

Goalkeeper Jiwen was naturally among them. He reacted slowly. When the football flew into the goal, he even just had time to jump. Naturally, the football flew into the goal without any hindrance.

The goal is scored!

At the moment when the football scored the goal, the whole Rome Olympic Stadium broke out in an instant. Roman fans shouted Montella's name crazily. In the six seasons in Rome, Montella earned a lot of popularity for himself with goals. In Rome, Totti's reputation was the first, and he, the gliding celebration of Montella's signature. The goal is deeply engraved in the hearts of the fans. He deserves to be the second.

Goooooal!! Vincenzo-Montra-"

"Montra scored a goal for Roma. This goal was so sudden that Newcastle United goalkeeper Gwen had almost no reaction. I think he was stunned by Montella's technology... One-to-three, Montra brought new hope to Roma. If Roma did not score in the whole first half, it would be difficult for them to have another chance to fall behind three goals in the second half. Now that the three goals have become two, the Roma team has regained hope!"

"At any time, our small plane can score a key goal for Roma. This is Montera. We wish him a better performance in the next game!"

When the Italian commentators marveled at the goal and analyzed the following situation, commentators from other countries naturally said similar things, but their views are very different from those of Italy---

"Montela scored a goal, and this goal is really beautiful! The Roma team still has a chance, but the situation is not good. Sones will definitely change to Jack on the bench. At that time, Roma should pay more attention to the defense. They want to turn the tables, but they still hope is not big..." This is neutral media. The English commentator who supported Newcastle United commented: "Rome scored a goal! What a good goal. It's amazing that the 32-year-old Montella can score such a wonderful goal, but Roma is still a lot worse. With the current defensive posture of Newcastle United, it is difficult for Roma to find another chance in the next game. The situation in the second half can be predicted. If the situation is not good, Jack will play Jane. It's inevitable. We need to pay attention to when Jack will play..."

When will Jack play?

Whether it is Italy or England, or neutral media defense, they are concerned about this issue. Newcastle United's No. 10 is the trump card that really determines the outcome. His role is not small. If Don Jack plays as soon as possible, the opportunity for Roma is too slim.

If Rome scored a goal, will Sones let him play early!?

A lot of people care.

Roma on the court are also very concerned, which means that they have to pay more attention to defense in the attack. If they are scored by Newcastle United, they really have no chance. According to the rules of qualifying the UEFA Cup, if Newcastle United score a goal, Roma will be eliminated even if they score three more goals. Because they didn't have any away goals.

The big screen pointed to the Newcastle United bench, and Sones sat steadily in a chair with his legs crossed and his left foot up. It looked as if the game had nothing to do with him. It could be seen that Soness didn't care much about the game, or he felt that everything was under his control.

"Soanes is full of confidence!" That's what the English commentator said.

And the next game seems to confirm this view. Although Roma has just scored a goal, after the game restarted, Newcastle United once again returned to the defense of filling the backfield with sea tactics. Roma has no good way to do this.

Time passed by little, and the first half of the game was soon over.

The players of the two teams returned to their locker room with different feelings. Rome scored a goal in the first half. For Roma fans, there is still some hope for the game. This result is not the best, but it is actually not bad, so many fans are looking forward to the second half.

"When will Jack appear?"

"Will Roma still score goals?"

......

Many fans are discussing these two topics. Roman fans naturally hope that "the former will not happen, the latter will happen more", so that they will have the opportunity to eliminate Newcastle United, but it is likely that the two are actually directly related. If the situation of Newcastle United is not good, Don Jack will definitely be sent off, and he is also the same. Ness brought it to Rome so that the game could not be unexpected.

The current situation is a little unexpected...

One to zero, it seems that this game is not big, but in fact, as long as the Roma team scored another goal, they can see hope again. The two goals seem to be very far away, but on the football field, anything can happen. Last season's Champions League final between Liverpool and AC Milan is still vivid in the eyes of fans, more Let's talk about the two balls now.

Although his performance was very bland, Sones was worried that something would happen.

So the second half of the game had not started long ago, and even the fans were just sitting down and preparing to watch the game seriously. Newcastle United raised the substitution card and Don Jack was replaced.

"Jack is on the field. It will be very difficult for Roma to score two goals in a row in the next game..." The Italian media is very worried.

While the English media said, "Jack is on the field now. Obviously, Sones is worried about what happened to the game. We can expect Newcastle United's counterattack."

Don Jack couldn't hear the words of the two commentators, but in fact, he did not take the team to counterattack. Sones only gave him one task: to block the attack of the Roman middle line with running and wait for the opportunity to use his personal ability to counterattack.

The requirements of this task are very vague, but it also illustrates a problem: Don Jack's appearance is not the core to lead the team's counterattack. The first thing he plays is the defensive task. The specific counterattack is to use of his personal ability to try to create trouble for the Roma team. In fact, Sones can't do this. The main reason is that the game has entered the second half, and most players have adapted to the current rhythm of the game. If they suddenly change their tactics, it will definitely be unfavorable to Newcastle United. Changing defense to attack will really create a goal opportunity for the Roma team. It's not surprising that Roma scored two goals in a row.

At this moment, there can be no accidents.

But the role of Don Jack on the field is obviously obvious. For Newcastle United's No. 10, the Roma team obviously has to be vigilant with 12 points. As soon as he comes on the field, the Roma team's attack is obviously not as suppressed as before. They have to pay attention to defense to prevent Don Jack from leading Newcastle United to launch a counterattack, leaving no one in the backcourt. The consequence must be a surprise attack by the opponent, and the Roma team does not want to face such consequences.

Don Jack hasn't touched the ball yet, but his role in playing has been reflected. Rome's offensive is obviously not as fierce as it was just now, and the pressure of Newcastle United players is much less.

Such a situation made the two teams deadlock. Soon ten minutes passed, and the Roma team began to suppress it again in desperation.

Newcastle United can afford it, Rome can't afford it!
