My name is Colani
Chapter 251 Lob Shot
Zeman of Trapani has the same lineup as a week ago. Of course, today's Roma is different from the last game. They have more main players, and Capello's deployment is more targeted, especially with Totti in the frontcourt. Anything can happen. Football is a team sport, but Roma with one more Totti is different from Roma without Totti. Moreover, they have no psychological burden today. Anyway, they are all trying their best, and the players may be more relaxed.
Zeman stood on the side of the court without any emotion in his former home field. He was only solemn in his heart. This game may not go as he wished, but he would never give up offensive football.
Today's referee is Serie A referee Morgatti. With his whistle, the game officially started.
Hugo "boom" hit the first drum beat, followed by "boom boom boom!" Trapani's other drums also sounded!
"Trapani!" Trapani fans shouted.
"Dongdong!"
"Get up!"
...
When the first uniform drum sounded throughout the Olympic Stadium, Cafu, who was holding the ball, was startled. Damn, the sound was too loud, just like thunder. The echo effect of a stadium with 100,000 people was still good.
Roma did not try to attack, and actively wanted to attack from the beginning. At this time, Miku's position was relatively deep. He was the midfield commander of Trapani. Facing the fierce pressing of Roma, he had a clear idea in his mind, that is, to hold on and slow down the game. Zeman pursued the speed of attack, and in defense, he had to do everything possible to limit the opponent's speed impact. What Miku wanted to do now was to slow down the speed of both teams.
Surrounding him were some players with relatively average technical abilities. His choice was to play an important role himself, the role of protecting the ball in the midfield, and let the opponent foul. He was very confident in himself.
In the 3rd minute, Roma attacked the front court. Totti's pass was cleared by Barzagli. Mascherano passed the ball to Miku after getting it. After Miku got the ball, he took it himself. Facing his compatriot Dacourt's scramble, Miku pulled the ball, dodged, and got rid of it beautifully on the spot. He pretended to pass the ball, but it was a back pass, which fooled Dacourt again.
Seeing that Miku was about to get rid of it, Dacourt had to reach out and pull Trapani to a free kick.
But in fact, even if Miku passed the ball, it might not be a threat. Today, Roma was particularly cautious on the two wing roads, and the defender had a tall De Las who kept watching Toni. Miku's forward passing path was basically blocked. Even if he got rid of Dacourt, he would soon be double-teamed by other players with his speed of advancing with the ball.
Free kick opportunity, Meireles walked over quickly and was ready to grab it, but Miku got up from the ground and stopped him.
Miku signaled to slow down the pace, we play slowly, time is in our favor!
Miku not only signaled to Meireles, but also required the whole team to slow down the pace, take the ball to the sidelines, and protect the ball like an emperor. Miku's Italian was not very fluent, but everyone could understand the general meaning of his gestures.
So a strange phenomenon appeared on the court. Roma pressed hard at a high position, while Trapani was always trying to slow down the pace. When the ball went to the sidelines, Maggio and Ronaldo protected the ball, neither moving forward nor backward. It was not like a team that wanted to attack.
Zeman breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines. Miku's idea was correct. Trapani's players were inferior to their opponents in terms of personal ability. At this time, they could rely on stars. Trapani still had stars who could show off. Ronaldo and Miku were both good. They just wore it out until Roma lost the momentum at the beginning. Then they could play the game well. Who asked them to press so fiercely? !
This kind of kick is very rogue, but very effective. Seeing Trapani players frequently fall to the ground because of ball protection, Roma fans were so angry that they booed loudly in the stadium, but their boos were really not as good as the neat cheers from Trapani fans.
Capello is very good at high-position pressing. The formation is compact and pressure is applied layer by layer. They firmly occupy the advantage on the field. Toni can't even get the ball in the frontcourt, but he is not vague and runs back to the half court to participate in the team's defense.
How can a ball-protecting player be without Toni? Toni's body is a natural ball-protecting player. When he approaches Trapani's midfield, Miku passes him more directly. Toni's body is really awesome. It is difficult for De Las to reach the ball behind him. Samuel tried to steal the ball from Toni's side twice, but Toni's feet were not vague. He stepped on the ball and held De Las with his body, and he could also pull the ball back and forth. Samuel kicked Toni's feet twice when he stole the ball, and Toni fell to the ground immediately.
Morganati blew the whistle, free kick!
Samuel complained loudly, Morganati warned him sternly!
When Toni retreated, Zeman thought of an idea. Zeman didn't think of defending with all his strength. This was not his style. But when you meet a strong team like Roma, they are stronger than you. After they press you, you can't attack. You can't get the ball out, so you can only defend passively. Zeman has to accept it even if he doesn't want to.
Now Trapani's wing is being watched, and Roma's back line is pressed higher. Toni lacks speed. Even if Miku passes the ball behind him, Toni doesn't have the ability to run dozens of meters to counter offside and give Roma a fatal blow.
What about changing Ronaldo? ! Zeman couldn't help wondering if the effect would be better? !
Zeman quickly adjusted his tactics. Taking advantage of the dead ball, he called Ronaldo to the side of the field and gave him instructions, asking him to bring new tactical instructions to the team. This was a new instruction. No one had tried to use Ronaldo's speed to counterattack in a difficult situation before.
Miku admired Zeman's tactical arrangement. If this trick was used well and Ronaldo scored a goal, the situation would be different. Although Roma is suppressing very strongly now, their defensive attention is always maintained. If they really reach the moment of a do-or-die battle, their flanks may not be so tight.
The dull game went on until the 23rd minute. Miku got the ball again. He passed the ball to Toni in the Roma half near the center circle. Samuel and De Las cooperated well. One held Toni, and Samuel tried to go around to intercept the ball. Who knew that Toni faced the ball and blocked it to the right with his chest, passing the ball to Ronaldo who appeared out of nowhere. Cafu followed closely, but he was not as fast as Ronaldo. Ronaldo also stopped with his chest and ran behind De Las and Samuel. The ball touched the ground and he dribbled the ball with a big step. Panucci and Cafu reacted quickly, but Ronaldo's speed was really at its limit this time, and they couldn't catch up.
Antonioli hesitated. He wanted to attack but was afraid of Ronaldo's speed. He was not sure whether he could get the ball, because he did not accurately estimate Ronaldo's speed in the last game.
As a result, he wanted to retreat when he attacked the outside of the small penalty area, but Ronaldo immediately found this opportunity. He stopped the ball with his chest. Ronaldo took a big step when the ball touched the ground. He took a second and third touches and Ronaldo directly made a lob shot. The ball flew towards the goal quickly, and it was still about 40 meters away from the goal.
Zeman stared at the trajectory of the ball with his eyes wide open. The fans in the stadium stretched their necks. Hugo and others forgot to continue cheering. Cafu and Panucci chased Ronaldo and stopped involuntarily to look at the football.
Antonioli retreated and looked at the ball. When the ball flew over, he jumped, but he failed to touch the ball. The ball went into the net behind him!
Ronaldo immediately raised his hands, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he looked high-spirited. He had never thought of such a lob shot. He just wanted to shoot!
The moment Trapani fans saw the ball enter the net, they all jumped up, cheered loudly, celebrated, and shouted Ronaldo's name!
Trapani's players all had a word in their minds: "surprise!" Roma's gate was breached in this way. After more than 20 minutes of disadvantage, they were ahead again!
They ran towards Ronaldo frantically, hugged Ronaldo tightly, and almost threw Ronaldo into the sky!
"Unbelievable! Cristiano Ronaldo's amazing lob defeated Antonioli! He let Trapani lead Roma with a score of 4:0. Now even the most optimistic Roma fans may find it hard to believe that they will reverse and win!" Chris Siderino, the commentator of the national television station, showed an incredible expression in the live broadcast room, and then sentenced Roma to death!
Capello's face was very ugly. Ronaldo was still young. From the last game, it can be seen that his activity position was relatively single, often on the wing. The number of times he entered the penalty area was very limited, and his role was not particularly large. He observed that Zeman trusted Ronaldo so much because Ronaldo had a strong ability to break through on the wing, which could contain Roma's defensive attention and pass the ball to create opportunities in the middle. He never thought that Ronaldo would do such a trick!
Zeman then remembered something. Ronaldo had a clear path ahead of him. Choosing to lob the ball at that time was a stupid decision. He should have gone alone, and he would have a better chance!
But forget it, forget it. The ball went in, and that was good enough. Zeman smiled happily and accepted the congratulations from Lombardo, Barrias and others.
"The name Cristiano Ronaldo will be heard all over Italy tomorrow. It seems that Hugo's high evaluation of him was not exaggerated. Today he showed me his amazing imagination!" Chris Siderino praised Ronaldo.
