Chapter 400: Battle of Rome 4

After the halftime break, I returned to the stands and listened to Hugo's ideas about Trapani's future and saw the renderings of the new stadium. The fans were excited. Some of them were just unqualified people who came here to watch the game because of luck, and now they have completely become Trapani fans.

The game on the field has been going on for a few minutes, and Trapani scored again. This time the goal was scored by Klose, and the assist for Klose was Pizarro. It was still a bit like a goal in a counterattack. Roma made another mistake in the transition between offense and defense, and Trapani's ability to seize opportunities was really amazing. Speaking of it, Trapani didn't do much of this kind of straight pass. Trapani's offensive direction was mainly concentrated on the two wings, relying on the strong flank attack ability and Toni and Klose's ability to grab points.

In the first round of the new season, the two center forwards Toni and Klose scored successively. Klose excitedly did a somersault to celebrate. He has great ideals this season. Some ideas cannot be expressed. Next year is the World Cup year. He must work hard. This year, his goal is the Serie A Golden Boot. This is his personal goal. As for the team goal, he certainly hopes that the team can win many championships, but it is difficult.

Hugo entered the stadium and saw that the score became 2:0. He was very happy: "I wonder what Sensi, who is watching TV at home, feels?! I guess his face is bitter enough?!"

Roma General Manager Baldini was kicked out by the Sensi family. Now the helmsman of the Roma club is Hugo's old acquaintance, Rosella Sensi. This woman is of course a woman who knows the times and is very capable, but what's the use, without money, everything is in vain.

Whether it is the Colelli family or Hugo, they have risen too fast in the business and political circles of Italy, but their foundation is too shallow. This is their disadvantage and difficulty. What can Hugo do if Sensi turns to him? Hugo can't help much, and it is impossible for him to buy the shares of Roma!

Knowing that Sensi is also somewhat helpless, how can he do anything? In Hugo's view, this is a betrayal. So Hugo hates Sensi very much. Before the game, Hugo criticized the Sensi family in an interview without hesitation. He laughed at Franco Sensi for pretending to be a big wolf, and casually criticized the conservative fans.

"The Sensi family shouldn't take on such a job if they don't have the skills! They should have sold the team to the Russians. There's nothing wrong with that! I can clearly say that our league is short of money, and we should absorb money from anywhere!"

"Tradition?! The future of Italian football?! Haha, without money, everything is just empty talk! Some people are too conservative, we should learn from the Premier League!"

Sensi swallowed his anger, there was no way he could still be strong in his early years, but now he really has nothing to say. Sensi made many decisions, many of which were forced by the fans, such as selling the team. Many fans, not only Roma fans, but also Italian fans, don't want to see foreign investment involved. Fans protested, but Sensi gave in. Didn't he look at his own weight? ! He couldn't keep Roma going at all!

Sitting in the stands, Hugo was eagerly looking forward to a big win. After Roma was scored two goals by Trapani, its momentum dropped a lot. In the second half, Deschamps could also make an arrangement, asking Essien to entangle Totti and prevent Totti from getting the ball. Totti is a typical Italian frontcourt all-rounder with very comprehensive abilities, and his weakness is speed.

Totti played very badly last season, but it does not mean that he has no strength, but that the overall situation of Roma is too bad. Totti is definitely a strong front midfielder, but when a team relies on Totti alone, Roma certainly cannot do it. Football is a team sport after all.

Totti does the work of two people alone. He can assist and score goals. He has very strong organizational ability. Roma's offense is basically dispatched by him. As long as he is completely entangled, most of Roma's offense will basically be disintegrated. Essien happens to be such a difficult person.

Small moves, fouls and all kinds of entanglements made Totti very upset and depressed. Today, Mancini on the two wings was no longer magical. He had no advantage against Maicon and couldn't pedal well. In the past, he could pass the opponent without any success, but today Mancini's success rate was shockingly low.

The wing could not contain Totti enough, and it was even more difficult in the middle. De Rossi and Perrotta were tough guys, and it was undoubtedly difficult for them to take on the task of plugging in.

Compared with the first half, Deschamps strengthened his guard on Totti, and it did work. Roma's situation began to take a sharp turn for the worse. Fortunately, there were two tough guys in the middle. If they were to organize, the young De Rossi and Perrotta would not be good, but they were still good at intercepting. Unfortunately, they did not do enough in assisting defense on the wing.

Spalletti finally made some changes, and began to let De Rossi and Perrotta focus on the wing defense. His 4231 focuses on the attack on the wing, not the defense. It happened that Deschamps' 424 was somewhat targeted at him. The situation was a bit stalemate in the first half, and Spalletti did not understand. In the second half, the situation changed, and Spalletti felt the huge threat from Trapani on the wing.

Deschamps has a key point in offense, and that point is Klose. Klose now has a heavier task. He is not only a center forward, but also has to take on the work of retreating and supporting. He is definitely far from a real second striker, but Deschamps gave him a different task, which is mainly a containment effect, so that there is a moving point between the midfield and the forwards and the two wings.

Déschamps began to develop Klose's potential in this area during the summer training. To be honest, Klose didn't like to stay away from the penalty area, but in terms of freedom, he had a little more freedom and more running options, which was actually a good use of his special running position, so he finally accepted it. Obeying the coach's arrangement was also his usual characteristic.

It was because of him that the wingers were able to flourish in the first and second half. He needed more running in the second half. After all, Essien's task in the first half was to insert, but Deschamps asked Essien to limit Totti more in the second half, and he certainly couldn't have too many insertion opportunities with Pizarro.

Klose did a good job and scored a goal himself, and he worked harder.

Deschamps' offense has routines, but he is not a very rigid person. Ribery and Messi are given a high degree of freedom. He even encourages them to move bravely to the middle, allowing Maicon and Jankulovski to boldly insert and control the wing.

Spalletti had a feeling at this time that he should use defensive counterattacks to deal with Trapani, and use Trapani's bold sideline tactics to find gaps, but he had many worries. The first one was that Roma's current defensive ability was still not good. His formation retreated too much and was completely suppressed by Trapani. He didn't believe that Toni and Klose were just decorations. Chivu was 1.84 meters tall and Kuffour was less than 1.8 meters tall. Roma's defense line already had insufficient air defense capabilities. Let Kuffour and Chivu fight with Toni and Klose for the high point of the penalty area. Needless to say, it was definitely a complete defeat.

The second is that Roma's current personnel composition is like this, mainly offensive. From the technical characteristics of Kuffour and Chivu, it can be seen that these two people have strong explosive power and strong sense of position and position. Therefore, Roma's formation is always not based on defense like other teams, but on offense. If you change the strategy, and don't use your weakest part to face Trapani's strongest part.

So in this situation, Roma always insisted on creating offside, but unfortunately they were caught shortly after the start of the second half and Klose scored a goal.

Now Spalletti is unlikely to make adjustments with the idea of ​​defensive counterattack, so he began to let the team's formation continue to press forward, trying to strengthen the attack and resist Trapani's attack.
