Chapter 127: The third round of the Coppa Italia bloody battle

At the end of the first half, Jingyang and the players returned to the lounge. Rose and Papastasopoulos, you should pay attention. The referee of this game thinks you can see that the scale is not good for us. In the second half, we mainly rely on defensive counterattacks to cause trouble for Sassuolo, but you must be careful and try not to move too much in the penalty area. In the second half, Vinicius needs to continue to participate in returning to the defense. Iturbe reduces long-range shots and tries to find opportunities to pass to teammates in the penalty area.

"Romero, please be active in the second half and help Balotelli to share the pressure. Don't always compete with Archer. You just fell into his trap when you compete with him. The opponent itself has a five-back system. Even if you get entangled with him, there are still two opponents who can stare at your other teammates. Do you understand?" Jingyang asked Romero.

Romero nodded and said: "Understood, I did fall into his trap in the first half, and I won't lose my head in the second half, don't worry!"

At the beginning of the second half, Sassuolo players obviously strengthened their fighting in the midfield. Louis Cook worked very hard in the first half, but the same consumption was also huge. Adjusted, replaced Louis Cook with Diakat to strengthen the control of the midfield, and also used the energetic Diakat to impact Sassuolo's defense!

Diakat, who just came on in 5 minutes of the second half, received a pass from the veteran Yaya Toure outside the arc of the penalty area and directly took a long shot. Sassuolo's goalkeeper knew a little about Diakat before the game. He knew that Diakat had a long-range shot. Hit high and flew out of the bottom line!

Sassuolo launched a counterattack. Goalkeeper Gianluca Pegolo kicked the goal kick. Midfielder Cassata struggled to grab the header and gave the ball to Sensi who responded from the left. Sensi saw Yaya Toure rushing up and did not dare to hesitate.

Sassuolo coach Giuseppe made substitution adjustments and replaced Berardi with Matteo Politano. Berardi angrily ignored coach Giuseppe's outstretched right hand and walked directly to the player channel. The home fans also booed coach Giuseppe.

Jingyang also shook his head when he saw this scene. Although the old coach Giuseppe's ability is not bad, he is really not good at dealing with players' problems. It's useless to keep it, and handing over to other teams can't take advantage of it. It doesn't make sense. If the current lineup must be improved, it is the configuration of the striker.

No. In 60 minutes, Jingyang made another substitution adjustment, replacing Iturbe, who was in mediocre form today, with Mertens, and then replaced Romero with Alberto Cherry.After Berardi left the field, Sassuolo seemed to have lost his offensive direction. The team's offense was chaotic and disorderly, but Parma's counterattack was impressive. Giuseppe had no choice but to make another substitution, replacing Farabegoli with Gerdaniga.

No. 605 minutes of the second half, Parma counterattacked. Kastan intercepted the ball in the backcourt and passed the ball to the midfielder Yaya Toure. Afterwards, the ball was lightly passed to Vinicius. Vinicius made a pass from the bottom of the penalty area to Alberto Cherry, who replaced him in the second half.

Sassuolo players are becoming more and more impatient, and all kinds of long passes directly from the backcourt to find the two forwards in the frontcourt, but Kuma Babaka and Matteo Politano themselves do not belong to the kind of top bridgehead players. The double central defenders Castan and Papasta Sopoulos in the backcourt of Parma are most afraid of the opponent's style of play.

No. 703 minutes Papastasopolos headed the ball to Yaya Toure in the backcourt. Yaya Toure did not hesitate to pass it directly to the energetic Diacate. Passed to the right wing, the veteran Mertens rushed to the horse. Mertens dribbled the ball to a 45-degree position on the oblique side of the penalty area and made a cross. Balotelli shot vigorously in the penalty area. Unfortunately, Balotelli's shot flew slightly above the baseline.

No. Sassuolo started to counterattack in the 80th minute. After stealing the ball from the backcourt, Acerbi passed the ball diagonally to the right defender Claude. Ni Tetai could only choose a long shot, and the veteran Buffon took the ball off easily.

No. 803 minutes of the second half Parma counterattacked. After Papasta Sopoulos took the ball in the backcourt, he glanced at the frontcourt and made a long pass to find Vinicius on the left. The young player Vinicius played very well in this game and was very confident after Vinicius took the ball. Relying on the opponent's midfielder Cassata, he passed the ball with his right foot to Diakat, who came to meet him. Diakater took a look at the situation on the field and chose to force a breakthrough, because Diakater's physical fitness in the second half was very good, so it is normal to choose a breakthrough.

Sassuolo's midfielder Alfred also knows that his speed and explosive power are not as good as Diakater's. If he had sufficient physical strength in the first half, he was confident that he could defend Diakater one by one, but now he can only call his teammates to help defend Diakater. Sassuolo's central defender Gerdaniga quickly ran over to make up for it, but just as he stepped forward, Mertens used absolute speed and very subtle techniques to accelerate and throw him off at an emergency stop. But Alberto Cherry was offside, but the goal was obviously a good goal. Jingyang shook his head helplessly. The referee in this game was only a little tilted, and it was not a complete black whistle.

After that, the players on the field began to defend intensively under the signal of Jingyang. Alberto Cherry also retreated to the half to help Yaya Toure and Diacarte defend, while Balotelli stayed at the forefront.

The two sides were deadlocked until No. 809 minutes. Sassuolo could not get a good chance. The fourth official raised a sign to indicate 3 minutes of stoppage time in the second half. Under the intensive defense of Papasta Sopoulos and others, Sassuolo's coach was very impatient and kept urging the players.

Finally, at No.904 minutes of stoppage time, Kastan stole the ball in the backcourt and headed it to Buffon. The veteran Buffon held the ball and looked at the referee and smiled. The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. It hasn't been released yet, but it doesn't matter, an Italian Serie B team can beat Sassuolo, who has a stable performance in Serie A, which is considered very good. Jingyang smiled and hugged the players one by one.

When Jingyang was asked in the post-match news interview what he thought of Giuseppe, who was too conservative in the game, Jingyang smiled and said: "I still recognize Coach Giuseppe's ability very much. Sassuolo's staff is not well-equipped in this game, but it is difficult for him. I think Coach Giuseppe is still very capable." After speaking, Jingyang led the team back to the hotel, and will take the team bus back to Parma tomorrow, which is also a kind of protection for the players' physical fitness.
