Chapter 590. The bitter battle against Rome

If there is another team that can hold back Inter Milan, then this team can only be Roma.

Rome started with two draws and one loss. After five rounds, the gap of 9 points was opened by Inter Milan. Originally, the outside world thought that Rome was over. They had no chance this season. It was also rumored that Capello's position was unstable, and he would be dismissed if he could not win the championship this season. But in the 10th round of the game, when Inter Milan rode the dust, except for the big dark horse Chevo, all they could see behind them was Rome.

Roma led to the 28th round last season, but because of their unstable mentality, they lost consecutively and drew, and finally ceded the championship trophy to Inter Milan. However, in terms of the coach's strength and experience, only Lippi can compete with Capello in Serie A. Now Juventus is in poor condition and has been separated by Inter Milan by a gap of 12 points. There are not many opportunities to obstruct Inter Milan again, unless Inter Milan makes its own mistakes.

Rome is now only 7 points away from Inter Milan. If Rome wins this battle, it can narrow the gap between Inter Milan and Inter to 4 points. If Chievo wins, it can narrow the gap in points, which will bring greater pressure to Inter Milan. Under pressure, Inter Milan is likely to make mistakes. It's bigger. It can be said that Rome not only fights for itself, but also for Serie A. If they win, Serie A will live. If they lose, the suspense of winning the championship in Serie A will almost disappear, and then more than half of the highlights of Serie A will be lost. In fact, Roma played a little worse at the beginning. After losing away to Piacenza, they have now maintained seven unbeaten games. This is a good record, just because Inter Milan's performance is too eye-catching and has taken away all the light. Rome's record has been valued by the media and fans. Facing his old enemy Inter Milan, Capello was in a good mood. Before the game, he said that Rome's state had returned to its peak.

"We have the essential qualities of modesty, and we have regained our confidence. I believe that we will occupy an important place in this season's championship competition. Tonight, this mature team will meet a very important opponent. We believe that we will have a great performance and beat the opponent, although it is very difficult.

In the face of aggressive Rome, Inter Milan's attitude before the game is relatively cautious. Jiang Mu even prohibits the players from being interviewed outside at will, unless there is his order, because Jiang Mu does not want more external factors to affect Inter Milan's players. Now the players are working hard and they need to rest. Both body and mind need to rest.

The match between Roma and Inter Milan was the earliest match in Serie A. On the night of Saturday the 17th, Inter Milan and Rome kicked off at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. Because the impact of this game was not small, he not only attracted many well-dressed business stars, but also some clubs that wanted to win the championship. Officials and coaches of the ministry also came to the scene to watch the game.

The Roma team's appearance in this game is 352, and the lineup is like this: goalkeeper No. 1 Antonioli, defender:

15-Zebina, 19-Samuel, 6-Aldar, Midfielder: 2-Kafo, 17-Tomasi, 8-Asonsan, 5-Lima, 32-Candela, Forward: 10-Totti, 24-Delcio.

Inter Milan's formation in this game is 433, and the lineup is as follows: goalkeeper Toldo, four-backs: Simic, Cordoba, Cannavaro, Materazzi, three midfielders: Pirlo, Dibbino, Sidov, three forwards: Vieri, Robben, Concesan .

Both coaches are cautious about platooning, first of all, strengthening the control of the midfield. Capello discharges 3-5-2 formation, Barty

Not even on the list. Delvizio and Totti formed a front line. Defender Zago rushed back to Brazil for the loss of his father. His compatriot Alder replaced him. The players observed a minute of silence before the game to mourn Zago's father. Cooper formed a 4-33 formation, Vieri rushed forward alone, Robben and Consessan responded on his two wings, Cannavaro and Materazzi formed a central defender partner, Pirlo and Dibianio built a double midfielder, and Sidorf's position was slightly advanced.

At the beginning of the game, the Roma team, which started the ball, kept passing back and back. Suddenly, Totti turned around and passed a high-altitude ball in his half-time.

Delvecchio, who had been actively inserting, jumped high to catch the ball. He headed the ball to his companion Candela, but at this time, the referee's whistle sounded. It turned out that the referee blew the foul when he grabbed the ball.

In the 3rd minute, Inter Milan's winger Robben broke through near the big penalty area and passed the ball into the penalty area. Kongsaisan, who was also a winger, jumped to the top but did not touch the ball. He quickly withdrew from the penalty area and took the ball again and passed it out. The Roman midfielder Candela, who returned to the defense, was relieved.

Conceiçin is very active on the right side. Sedorf spends more time in the midfield. Inter Milan is very patient in controlling the ball. If there is a chance, he will launch a quick attack. If there is no chance, he will patiently control the ball and wait for the opportunity.

Although Inter Milan did not have Ronaldo and Ronaldinho in this game, their counterattack is still sharp and fast. Roma is well aware of their power. After continuous losses, they are not willing to take any more risks. They did not take the whole game to grab the ball and let Inter Milan control the ball when it is far from their penalty area. But once the ball hits its own dangerous area, the Roma team immediately accelerates the pace of competition.

The Roma team played so patiently and was not in a hurry to achieve success. It seems that the three draws and two losses at the beginning did give the Roma team a lot of lessons. Now the players patiently play according to the tactical requirements of the head coach Capello. If they have a chance, they will attack quickly. If they don't have a chance, they will strengthen their defense and don't give their opponents a chance.

In this game, Roma played a 352 formation. Although the two sides were a little empty, which was very conducive to Inter Milan's two wing breakthroughs, Capello's conservative tactics made up for this disadvantage. Cafu and Candela contracted tightly on their own defense line like two full defenders, no Give Robben and Conesan a chance to break through, and when counterattacking, Cafu and Candela both have a strong ability to carry the ball for a long distance, which is equivalent to the Roma team having five defenders. It is extremely difficult for Inter Milan to break through, but it is not easy for Robben and Conesan to prevent the attack of Cafu and Candela.

After five minutes of the game, Inter Milan felt the difficulties of the game. Under Capello's careful arrangement, Inter Milan's side attack could not find a chance, and there was no side pull. In the middle, Sedorf's disk and Pirlo's long pass alone were not enough to threaten the door of the Roma team. In fact, in In this case, even if Ronaldinho is not injured, it is difficult to pass the interception of Tomasi, Asongsan and Lima.

At this time, Inter Milan wanted to break the deadlock. Only by assisting from the backcourt, Pirlo can assist in the middle, but Pirlo's speed is not fast, and there is no way to come back when the assist is up. As soon as the opponent hits the fast attack, the defense line will immediately face difficulties. Zanetti, the captain of the sidelines, did not start. Although Argentina qualified early, Sanetti flew all the way. As a result, he caught a cold and couldn't stick to the whole game. He could only sit on the bench. Cordoba, who replaced him, was a little irritable and also played in the qualifiers. He was in an average state. Even if he wanted to assist, Jiang Mu did not dare to let him do whatever he wanted. Press it.

In this way, players who rely on the front court alone can't break the opponent's defense line, and the players in the back court can't feel at ease. Inter Milan is passive. Because they can't threaten the opponent's goal, the opponent has the opportunity to threaten Inter Milan's goal. It is such a contradiction on the football field. You can't break through the opponent's goal. At the goal, the opponent will break through your goal.

In the 8th minute of the game, Simic assisted, Pirlo's long pass from the backcourt, Seedorf ferry, Simic passed into the penalty area 45 degrees on the right side of the penalty area, Vieri headed the ball to the goal, but under Samuel's defense, there was no top strength, the ball was like a return to the goalkeeper, by Roma goalkeeper Antonio It's easy to get.

Roma goalkeeper Antonioli threw the ball and launched a quick counterattack. Defender Zebina cooperated with Cafu on the right side. The side wing Cafu inserted forward at high speed, getting rid of the defense of Robben and Cordoba. In the bottom line position, Delvicchio's far goalpost grabbed the header, but under the blockade of goalkeeper Toldo, the ball was pushed by him. It's on the Internet.

It is difficult for Inter to find space in the midfield, and there is no good offensive opportunity on the side, but today Concesan is in good condition. Candela is basically suppressed by Concecan, and it is difficult to exert the usual offensive power. Totti, the Roman prince in the middle, was also taken care of by Dibianio. Their attack was mainly on the side of Kafu.

In the 10th minute of the game, Cafu once again hit the front of the penalty area. He dunked the fierce Cordoba and passed the ball to the penalty area to find Delcio. Delcio fell to the ground when he fought with Cordoba. Delcio complained to the referee with dissatisfaction, but the referee ignored it.

In the 12th minute, the Roma team made a long pass in the backfield, the Roman prince Totti stopped the ball in the chest, and Cafu inserted the right side to receive it, but it was blocked by the Italian international Cannavaro, and the ball was cleared by Dibbiao.

A minute later, Del Vício missed the excellent opportunity. Looking at the back, Totti, who was gradually active, passed the ball in the midfield. Cafu sent the ball into the penalty area again. Del Vio suddenly swam to the side and grabbed the side, and shot near the post before Cordoba. The goalkeeper Tordo stood better. He saved the ball with great thrillingly. Out of the bottom line.

Then Roma made a corner kick, and Totti grabbed the point in the middle. The ball hit Materazzi's shoulder and bounced on Delvicio's body and flew out of the bottom line.

This series of attacks by Roma made Inter Milan frightening, and the onlookers were nervous and breathless. It was not until the referee awarded a goal goal that the fans of Inter Milan breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Mu frowned on the sidelines. He was not so nervous. He had a lot of big scenes. Now that the league is so far ahead, he is not afraid of losing. Looking at Kafu's journey is almost unstoppable, Jiang Mu took advantage of the dead ball to call Robben to the side and asked him to pay attention to the defense and not stay in front. Work with Cordoba to defend against Kafu.

After Jiang Mu made a simple adjustment, Robben came back and almost became a full-back. Cafu's attack was gradually curbed, but the three striker of Inter Milan lost a wing, and the threat of attack was gone. Jiang Mu's adjustment this time could only be regarded as an exchange, and it did not take the upper hand. .
