Chapter 539 The Second Round with Rome 3
"This is the only way..." Spalletti's expression on the coach's seat looked very helpless. It was already the second half. Roma scored a goal in the first half, but they were still two goals short. They played too poorly in the last round. This 'poor' had to play a classic battle to make up for it, but there was No. 10 Jack on the spot. Lee's Newcastle United, can these players play out?
Even Spaleti doesn't have much confidence.
But the game still has to continue, and it doesn't help no matter how he thinks. Spalletti can only expect a miracle in the coach's seat.
On the court, the game between the two teams has gone white.
The mood of head coach Spalletti also reflects the mood of Roma players, especially their captain Totti, as the core of Rome. At this moment, he must give the players the confidence to face the game and play in the best condition, so that the Roma team has a glimmer of potential to win.
Under the leadership of Totti, the Roman attack continued.
Compared with the attack in the first half, the Roma formation is obviously a little timid, which is caused by the concerns of the whole Roma team. After Don Jack came on the court, he didn't have to do anything. Many Roma players naturally thought of his speed and his personal skills. They would ask themselves in their hearts: If that guy suddenly counterattacked, would Rome defend?
The answer is no.
Although this has not happened yet, more Roma players already have the answer in their hearts, so they have to take care of defense in the attack. Many players are still 'comforting' to tell themselves that there is still a lot of game time. As long as they score another goal, they will fight in the end...
Is it true?
Newcastle United is by no means powerless to counter the other!
Although most of the players on the court are substitutes at this time, in fact, after a season of running-in and the glory of the team's achievements in a season, Newcastle United players are arrogant. Although they are substitutes, they are no longer comparable to Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea. Those substitutes are poor. The reason is very simple: Look at the big teams of Chelsea and Manchester United, don't they fall at the feet of Newcastle United?
With these results, the players naturally have arrogance and self-confidence in their hearts!
The results may not explain everything, but at least they have given them a lot of confidence. In the face of the Roma team, they feel that there is no reason for the team to fail, especially now the core of the team - No. 10 Jack is still on the court. Everyone feels that the time to fight back. The difference is just the time!
No player is weak in the field of the world's top leagues!
This is not only used to describe the ordinary strength of Italy's 'Little World Cup', but also applies to the Premier League. The Premier League is no worse than Serie A now. The players who can enter the Premier League and play in the Premier League are definitely one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand. They are in their youth and youth. They will be the best of every team. Although they have not changed their name after coming to the Premier League, being able to enter the Premier League itself represents a certain level of personal ability.
At this stage, how much difference can there be in strength?
If the gap between star players and ordinary players is creativity and comprehensive personal skills, then the gap between ordinary players and ordinary players is only confidence!
Confidence!
The most indispensable thing for Newcastle United is confidence!
When the Roma team's offensive came up again and again, they soon found that the current Newcastle United did not use it in the first half. The guy who once passed by in a flash could constantly entanglement. It was easy to pass through several areas before, but now they feel that there is danger and there is always the possibility of losing the ball, which makes the Roma team The attack was difficult to work, and I almost lost the ball after several passes.
"Attention! Be serious..." Seeing that his teammate almost passed the ball to the opponent's feet, Totti shouted anxiously.
But this is not a mistake, but the Newcastle United backcourt defender is too active!
Totti, who is on the court, thinks that except for a new black-haired boy who is a threat, the other opponents of Newcastle United have not changed from the first half, but it is difficult to understand it. Watching the game from the perspective of the coach's seat, it is easy to see that Newcastle United's players work harder than the first half as a whole. It is.
"This is his effect..." Spalletti smiled bitterly.
Soon, Totti suffered the consequences of this ignorance: he lost the ball.
When Totti split the ball again, he did not notice that Newcastle United's defender Bravo came forward and suddenly started. The latter intercepted Totti's pass directly from the middle, which made the whole Roma formation suddenly stop and quickly retreated back.
I have to say that the retreat speed of Rome is very fast!
However, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't beat Don Jack. Almost at the moment of Brabo's steal, Don Jack rushed across the middle line and quickly ran forward. He did not carry the ball, but he believed that the football would soon reach his feet.
Yes, Brab passed the ball!
At the moment of snatching, he was looking for Don Jack's position, staring at the figure running forward. Brabo raised his foot and made a big foot pass. The quality of this kick pass is really not good. The football crossed the center line and quickly fell towards the Roman penalty area. Don Jack stared at the position of the football and ran forward hard.
The first obstacle he encountered was a Roman defender, No. 5. He didn't know this tall man, but this guy appeared in the starting lineup in the last game. This must be a Roma main defender, but this is the best opportunity for him to play. He can't miss it!
At this moment, Jack Don thought of Sones's coaching and the club's inaction to achieve the championship. He thought of all the substitutes in this game and making himself bored on the bench. Although his current mood has regarded football as a profession rather than life, in his heart, the kind of pursuit has been pursued. Victory, the pursuit of breakthrough will not change, and the opportunity is coming!
"Man, pay attention!"

"Christian is a famous right-back in the history of Italian football. After many transfers, he still maintains a world-class excellent player."
"He inherits the super defensive characteristics of the Italian defender, can be in any position on the back line, and has scored a lot of goals."
"He is an immortal idol who is young but can stay young forever. He is an iron-blooded man who dares to speak out and express his heart. In this materialistic world, there are not many people like him.
The above is the famous head coach Capello's evaluation of Panucci.
Panucci's career is very brilliant. In his 19-year-old year of weakness, Panucci played almost the entire season in Genoa. Panucci, who was originally the target of Milan's expedition, took only a year to squeeze out the famous Tasotti in the history of Italy and AC Milan. The 20-year-old Panucci became the main right-back of the team known as the football dream team at that time.
In the 1994 UEFA Champions League final, AC Milan and Barcelona met on a narrow road.
In this game, AC Milan and the captain of the Italian national team, Baresi was suspended. Maldini put on Baresi's No. 6 jersey to play at the central defender, while Panucci wore Maldini's No. 3 shirt as a guest left back. The game lasted only 20 minutes, and Panucci made the then European footballer Stoiccikov uncomfortable. "The Thunderbolt" had to take the initiative to ask for a position exchange with the "lone wolf".
The great AC Milan won 4-0!
In Milan for three and a half years, Panucci has been the absolute main force for three years. At that time, Panucci was very physical, with strong assist ability, and his defense was steady and fierce. When the team got the set-piece, Panucci's header was one of the common tactics of the Milan team. In four years, Milan has won two league championships, one cup championship, one Italian Super Cup champion, one European Cup champion and one European Champions Cup runner-up in the post-Three Muskete era. There is no doubt that the young Panucci was already one of the best right-backs in the world at that time.
After, Panucci came to Madrid and joined the great team Real Madrid. Here is his mentor, Mr. Capello.
The young Panucci once again copied the previous magic. One is the main force, and the other is to win the championship.
After 1999, Panucci joined Inter Milan, Chelsea and other teams for personal reasons. His performance in the two teams is undoubtedly excellent. Unfortunately, maybe God is jealous of his potential. He didn't get anything in the two teams. After that, Panucci received a mysterious phone call. The other side of the phone said, "Would you like to come to Rome?"
Panucci showed a touching smile: "I'd love to."
Since he came to Rome, Panucci has performed very well. Although he is 32 years old this year, at the end of his career, Panucci still occupies the main position of Rome's defense. His personal ability and physical fitness are amazing.
In this game, Panucci is the core of the defense, and the defense is based on him. He will always stand at the end of the team to stabilize the goal. When Don Jack came on the field, he insisted on this task. Now this has been effective. Due to the big pressure to attack, almost all Roman players have no chance to defend Don Jack. But Panucci had a chance. He ran back the first time he lost the ball.
He succeeded!
When he ran across the penalty area line and turned around, the football fell right in front of him. All Panucci needed to do was kick the ball out hard - in any direction!
At this moment, he saw the dark-haired boy running towards him, the soothing expressions of many teammates, and the helplessness of Newcastle United players... Yes, that's helpless. "I will always be the patron saint of Rome's defense!" Panucci firmly believes.
At this moment, the audience suddenly burst into a cry of surprise!
There is still anxiety in the voice!
"What's the matter?" In hesitation, Panucci's right foot had reached into the air and drove the ball out the next moment.
But he immediately knew the reason why the Roman fans shouted: the ball in front of him was hooked by a flexible foot..." When?" Panucci's brain was a little dead, which made him completely unable to realize that he was playing the ball very hard just now, but his right foot was thrown into the air... As a result, he naturally kicked empty and fell to the ground unsteadily.
It's ugly to fall to...
But no one cares about this, and even Panucci himself doesn't care. He is still thinking about what happened just now, but because he looked at the audience, this little carelessness made him see nothing. Naturally, he couldn't figure out why he didn't kick the ball.
And all the eyes of the whole game have been focused on the black-haired boy who got the ball!
At this time, between Don Jack and Roma's goal, there was only one goalkeeper, Kurci... He attacked... But so what? The fans were desperate. They knew what miracles could not be expected of Kurci to create. In front of Newcastle United's No. 10, which goalkeeper can create miracles?
Buffon? Kahn? Or the senior Schmeichel?
No, not at all!
"Dong..."
With a muffled sound, many Roman fans closed their eyes. They couldn't bear to see the moment when the football scored the goal, but they could only silently wait for the bitter result of the score to be rewritten.
The goal is scored!
But only Roman fans will care about the score. In fact, almost all the media cares about the rush just now---
"Well~~~~~"
"Genius steals! God, what did I see!? No, it should be said to grab the ball. Panucci hasn't touched the ball yet! Jack, he just showed his stunt skills and speed... This is really a miracle... I've seen a lot of Jack's games, and many of his goals are amazing, but I can't help but marvel at this one... This is really... It's perfect!"
If the fans listen to the game radio will definitely scold the commentator. After saying 'perfect' and 'beautiful' for a long time, there must be no actual content, but the commentator immediately talked about the process just now: "Jack's speed is so fast! He caught up before Panucci. Just now, I almost thought it was impossible for him to get the ball, but at that speed, Jack actually raised his right foot very flexibly and made a juggling action: he raised his right foot and hit it hard against the bouncing football with his heel, which made Panucci empty. It's really Pity guard, I hope he won't get hurt..."
It may sound like nothing, but fans who watch the screen playback over and over again are marveling: this is the perfect combination of speed and technology!
This speed is already very terrible. Many fans are thinking that it's a pity that the brunette boy in the TV will not participate in the track and field competition, which almost represents a new 100-meter champion... Of course, this is just what the fans think about. They don't want their favorite stars to give up football and go to participate in track and field competitions. At the same time, at such a speed, they can use the technology flexibly at the first time, control the body from hitting Panucci, and knocking the ball away with his heel... This technology... Many fans who didn't like Jack Don very much felt that they fell in love with the black-haired boy on the TV after watching this ball.
This is the real star!
In contrast, those so-called stars who have won so many honors seem to have nothing to praise. At least they don't have such superb skills, don't have such a fast speed, and it's even more impossible to play such a good ball.
The Roman fans at the scene felt the same way.
After scoring the goal, they were also sad that Roma lost the ball, but after watching the slow replay on the big screen, they could only exclaim: the guy on the court is worthy of being the most expensive player in the world! Such a technology... Even if it's Totti... No, can the prince of Rome really be compared with this guy?
Although no one answers this question, everyone has the answer in their hearts, at least in terms of personal ability... The gap is too big!

The goal just now was undoubtedly a big blow to Rome.
In addition, the main defender of the Roma team, the 'backing role' who just scored, the central defender Panucci was injured. When celebrating the goal, the Roma players were concerned about Panucci's situation and tried their best to kick empty. The result was an injury to the right leg. The specific injury needs to be checked, but in the next game, Panucci must be unable to play.
Together, the morale of the Roma team fell faster.
Another more important point is that Newcastle United's goal brought almost a complete reversal of the situation between the two teams. Just now, if Roma scored a goal, another goal may create a miracle. Now Newcastle United has scored a goal. The first round is 3:0 at St. James' Park, and now the score is 1:1, New York Castle United scored another away goal. If the Roma team wants to eliminate Newcastle United, they must score four goals in the next game. Even if they score three goals, Newcastle United can still eliminate Roma with the advantage of away goals.
Four balls... In the face of this completely impossible data, what confidence can the Roma players have!?
By now, it means that the game is completely over. Although there are still 30 minutes left, 30 minutes have completely turned into garbage time. Many Roman fans have chosen to leave early after seeing Newcastle United's goal. The number of fans in the auditorium of the Rome Olympic Stadium, which has just been very hot. It has been decreasing.
It has a great impact, and the game on the field is very different from that just now.
In the game just now, Rome was cheering up and trying to attack, and now the two teams are more like playing a 'match show'. They all look like they don't work hard, which makes the fans feel drowsy. Everyone knows that the game has ended ahead of schedule.
