Football super ace shooter
Chapter 232
Manchester United and Chelsea met in the 2017-2018 FA Cup final, and a large number of media and fans believed that the FA Cup championship held one month later was Manchester United's bag.
In addition to Manchester United's outstanding overall strength, there is also a conflict between the generals and Chelsea this season. According to many media reports, the conflicts between Conte and many players are irreconcilable, which caused the league last season. Runner-up Chelsea can only fight for a spot in the Europa League this season.
Being able to advance to the FA Cup final was not due to how well Chelsea performed, but to the poor performance of their opponents.
But this has nothing to do with Manchester United. They are now extremely focused and are fully preparing for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome next week.
The two teams have met in the Champions League group stage this season. Manchester United once won 3:0 at home and 3:1 on the road, which is equivalent to beating Roma 6:1 in total. Therefore, the game has not started yet. European mainstream The media believed that Roma, who was playing at home, would definitely lose.
Rome is an ancient city full of history. In ancient times, it was martial, tough and full of blood.
In modern times, Romans are still synonymous with blood. As the city card of Rome, the Club of Rome will naturally not lose its innate blood.
Before preparing for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, head coach Francesco and iron-blooded captain De Rossi have been constantly motivating the players and instilling the concept of winning at home, hoping to defeat Manchester United in the first round and gain the upper hand.
Professional players are full of energy and refuse to obey anyone. Van Kerry does score goals frequently, but that does not mean that he will always perform well. Roma players firmly believe that as long as they exert their 100% strength, they can defeat the visiting Manchester United at home.
Roma fans in Rome know that the probability of winning is relatively low, but people always have to have dreams, what if?
The biggest feature of football is that it is full of uncertainty. Matches where weak teams overpower strong teams often occur.
The key thing is that the whole world is optimistic about Manchester United, which may cause the entire Manchester United team to take it lightly.
Thinking of this, the Roma fans have more confidence in the home team defeating Manchester United at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome!
The first leg of Manchester United's Champions League semi-final against Roma as a guest was played on the first Champions League match day in midweek, which kicked off at 8:45 pm local time on Tuesday night, so the entire Manchester United team arrived in Rome on Monday morning.
After taking a short break, the Manchester United team split into two groups in the afternoon. Head coach Mourinho and main defender Van Dijk attended the regular pre-match press conference.
Mourinho, who was interviewed by the media, was unusually low-key as usual. He said that he was a guest at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome so that he could escape unscathed. At the same time, he praised Roma coached by Francisco as the best Roma in the past ten years...
No one has Thinking about it, Mourinho, who is unparalleled in the world in terms of damage, is so outstanding in showing weakness that it is impossible to see anything wrong. If these reporters didn't know what kind of virtue Mourinho is, they would really believe him.
Francisco was speechless at the home team's regular press conference later. He never thought that Manchester United would show weakness.
Is this... still the unrivaled Mourinho?
Former Manchester City forward Dzeko, who was also present, also heard Mourinho's weakness, but he believed that Manchester United should keep a low profile in the away game. After all, his recent form is very good, and his scoring efficiency is not much lower than Van Kerry.
Facing yourself like this, you must keep a low profile!
※※※
The last time Roma advanced to the Champions League semi-finals dates back to 34 years ago in the 1983-1984 season. The entire city of Rome hopes to see the home team Roma reach the Champions League finals again after 34 years. Therefore, the entire city on the day of the game was Rendered almost a deep red.
In the words of"Corriere dello Sport", Roma must play bloody at home and use their home advantage to defeat Manchester United to pave the way for advancing to the Champions League finals this season.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the Manchester United bus arrived at the designated parking space at the Rome Olympic Stadium. Before the players got off the bus, Roma fans couldn't wait to boo. Wave after wave, huge boos swept the entire periphery of the Rome Olympic Stadium. square.
All the Manchester United players who were still waiting in line to get off the bus were frowning and unhappy, especially Van Kerry.
Compared to the wild boos outside the square, the boos that erupted in Rome's Olympic Stadium were even louder, as violent as a tsunami.
"wuuwwuwuuuuuuuuuuu——"
The noise was so overwhelming that it swept the whole place and made Fan Kerry feel very bored.
After about forty minutes of warm-up time, players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms one after another to make final preparations for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
At this time, the starting lists of both sides of the game also appeared on major live broadcast platforms.
The starting lineup of the home team Roma is 3421, with goalkeeper Alisson, defenders Juan, Manolas and Fazio, midfielders Kolarov, Stroman, De Rossi and Florenzi, and double midfielder Nain Gran partnered with Yundel, and Dzeko stepped forward.
The official lineup given by Manchester United is the usual 433, with goalkeeper De Gea, defenders Luke Shaw, Van Dijk, De Ligt and Valencia, midfielders Pogba, Matic and Van de Beek, and forward Van Kea. Rui, Lukaku and Martial.
Before the game, players from the two teams did not make any conflicting remarks on social platforms. Therefore, the players from both teams were friendly in the tunnel, and the national team teammates encouraged each other to prepare for the upcoming Champions League semi-finals.
Stroman is a well-known tough player, but his position in the Dutch national team is very marginal. He is very humble facing the national team captain Van Kerry.
This scene was captured by the on-site director. The PP sports commentator laughed in James County and said:"The 28-year-old Stroman is like a well-behaved little brother in front of the 19-year-old Van Carey, with a very low posture."
"Haha~ Who made Van Kerry the captain of the Dutch team? Commentator
Zhang Lu changed the topic:"Of course, there is a big difference between before the game and the game. Stroman is now showing off his ego, but there is a high probability that someone will fall on his back during the game."……"
As he spoke, the German referee Brüsch led the players from both sides to the tunnel, and the passionate UEFA Champions League theme song"Champions League" played on the radio at Rome's Olympic Stadium.》
"Beep~"
Bruchy made a long whistle, Dzeko handed the ball to Yundel, and China Channel 5 commentator He Wei blurted out his iconic opening remarks:"China TV, China TV, the game we are broadcasting for you now is 2017-2018. Live broadcast of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals between Roma and Manchester United at home. The home team Roma is wearing red jerseys. They attack from the right side of the broadcast screen to the left.……"
After many passes, the running Dzeko stopped and turned, and before Van Dijk stepped forward to block it, he shot directly.
I don’t know if he was not wearing shooting boots, but the ball fired an anti-aircraft cannon and flew directly to the second-floor stands.
Dzeko threw his arms in frustration, roared to the sky in annoyance, and spoke plausibly, obviously dissatisfied with his performance.
Two minutes later, Manchester United's patient organization of the frontcourt attack gave Van Kerry a chance to shoot at the top of the penalty area. He hit the ground and forced Brazil goalkeeper Alisson to make a wonderful save and save the ball from the baseline.
Although Alisson reacted quickly to turn the situation around, the Roma fans in the audience were still scared into cold sweats.
Francisco, who was standing in the command area of the home team coach, frowned and felt very uneasy. Van Carey was active in his own half, always feeling like he would score at any time.
In a two-round knockout match, the home team cannot easily concede goals.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but made a gesture towards Nainggolan to strengthen his defense against Van Carey.
After all, Van Carey's ability is too strong.
It was precisely because of his timely on-the-spot dispatch that Manchester United's offense slowly declined, and the offensive opportunities obtained by the side increased accordingly. The fanatical atmosphere at the Olympic Stadium in Rome became more and more high...
