Chapter 524 Enhanced version of Dream Three!
Roma is a football club located in Rome, the capital of Italy. The team logo looks a bit like a rhinoceros, but it is actually a giant wolf nursing two babies.

Normally, football is based on the economy. The Roma club is located in the Italian capital. However, it was not until the late 90s, when Maradona left Naples and Sampdoria was relegated to Serie B, that Roma entered the " "Seven Sisters of Serie A".

It seems counterintuitive, but the reason is simple.

Although the Roma Club is in the capital of Italy, the Italian royal family, the Agnelli family, is a super group focused on industry, and Turin is the industrial center of Italy.

Therefore, the Agnelli family does not support Roma in the capital, but controls Juventus in Turin.

This is why Juventus and Milan have always been at the top of Serie A.

Juventus is supported by the royal family, while Milan is the city with the highest GDP in Italy, and its economic aggregate is almost equal to the sum of Turin and Juventus.

Although the Roma club is located in the capital, it does not have the financial resources of other giants.

However, although most players in the world pursue profit, of course, football itself is a profession, and it is understandable to go to a team with better treatment, but there are always one or two exceptions that can satisfy the romantic feelings of fans.

One man, one city, Wolf King Totti, is the most typical example.

Totti was born in Rome in 76. AC Milan invited him when he was 13 years old, but he refused to leave the city he had always loved. Joining the "Seven Sisters of Serie A" was not even considered. He ranked 7th to 15th in Serie A all year round. The Roma Club, whose name is lingering, became a member of its youth training.

Then, the legend begins.

There is no doubt that Totti is the most talked about "one man, one city" story among fans around the world in the last decade, and Chen Mo is the successor of this decade.

The two are very similar, but the only difference is that Totti did it because his family has been die-hard Roma fans for generations. He has liked Roma since he was a child, while Chen Mo only decided to stick to Assen halfway because of Wenger's kindness. Accept.

The two had different ideas at first, but in the end they reached the same goal.

Therefore, before the start of Arsenal's Champions League knockout match against Roma, fans all over the world have high expectations. Every day there are topics about Chen Mo and Totti on the Internet.

Amid such high expectations, on February 2009, 2, surrounded by countless fans, Arsenal's team bus slowly drove into the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome is a very large stadium that can accommodate [-] spectators. However, this stadium is not unique to Rome.

Just like Milan and Milan share a stadium, Roma and Lazio also share the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Good.

Going to the stadium locker room, looking at the non-slip floor in the locker room and the normal hot and cold shower heads, Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction.

Football has a home and away advantage. This advantage is not only reflected in the whistles and fans cheering on the field, but also in other aspects.

For example, the lawn area of ​​Camp Nou is the largest in the world, and it is much larger than Chelsea's Blue Bridge in terms of length and width.

This is mainly because Barcelona plays ball control, and the larger the field, the more suitable it is for them to control the ball; while Chelsea did not have much strength in the early years, and they were all about dogs holding Frisbees. In this case, naturally the smaller the field, the more suitable it is. For defense, it is also more suitable for counterattacks.

In addition to the size of the field, some teams will inject more water into the turf before the game when facing a team with strong possession of the ball, making it more difficult to pass the ball.

There are all these routines, and the locker room is naturally the same.

Chen Mo had even encountered an away locker room that looked like an ice rink before. It was slippery when he walked up to it, and the water in the bathroom alternated between cold and hot. At the same time, the walls of the locker room were also very thin. During the entire halftime, he could keep hearing the sound. The home fans yelled outside the wall.
Of course, there is obviously no such away disadvantage here.

This is mainly because Roma and Lazio share this stadium, so the dressing rooms on both sides are doing very well.

However, Arsenal did not pay attention to these small things. Everyone was changing clothes while listening to Wenger nagging in front of the tactical board.

But there really isn’t much to say.

Although this game was heated up because Chen Mo and Totti are both captains with strong mental attributes, the actual strength gap between Roma and their Arsenal is still quite large.

Roma's side is mainly supported by Totti on the striker and De Rossi in the midfield.

Totti is a second forward with a bit of attacking midfielder attributes. He can pass and shoot, but he mainly shoots. He is not the best in passing.

As for De Rossi.
Some people call De Rossi a defensive midfielder.

A simple understanding is that Roma sells defenders every year, but Roma's defense is stable every year, and those defenders sold cannot develop in the end.

Therefore, many people believe that De Rossi covered up the shortcomings of Roma's defenders back then.

But actually, this kind of statement is a bit nonsense.

Defenders and midfielders complement each other. Without a good midfielder, the defender will suffer. Without a good defender, the midfielder will also suffer.

De Rossi scored 6 goals last season. Normally, it is very difficult for the defensive midfielder to score goals because he is too far away from the goal. Moreover, Roma does not play in a pressing style like Barcelona, ​​and the defensive midfielder will not play in the opponent's arc. Top area activities.

In this case, playing as a defensive midfielder can still score 6 goals, which shows that in many cases, De Rossi will press into the midfield and participate in the attack.

If the defensive midfielder wants to be freed, either other midfield teammates will delay to fill in, or the defense will be very strong and can withstand the pressure on the defensive midfielder.

Of course, Chen Mo didn't care whether De Rossi was strong or not. What he cared about was De Rossi's 6 goals, which actually exposed Roma's tactical system on paper.

Obviously, under Roma's tactical system, De Rossi, as the defensive midfielder, needs to often intervene in the middle. If Roma's defensive midfielder intervenes, Arsenal can do more in the attacking midfielder position.

What Chen Mo can think of, Wenger can also think of, so he has been emphasizing that the center needs to retreat from the forward position and pull out the opponent's central defender.

A direct hit, but it doesn’t make sense to overemphasize these words. Arsenal’s starting center in this game is Ronaldo.

An experienced pure-blood center like him is very good at utilizing space.

However, amidst the cheers of the fans, Arsenal actually felt a little uncomfortable shortly after the start of the game.

The main reason was that Roma knew they couldn't attack Arsenal, so they immediately retreated behind after the start and engaged in defensive counterattacks.

Serie A has defenders. Cannavaro, Nesta, and Maldini are all defenders in Serie A. This is not because Serie A has outstanding people.

Everything happens for a reason. Serie A has defenders because Serie A advocates defense. Serie A is most famous for its chain defense.

In Serie A, which advocates defense, it is naturally easier to find defenders, and the standard of defenders is generally higher.Faced with Roma, who retreated from all fronts, Arsenal did not find any opportunities in the opening stage. However, Chen Mo was not in a hurry. He just controlled the ball firmly at his feet and led his teammates back and forth.

Normally speaking, if you keep dropping the ball without getting an opportunity to attack, this is a useless kick, but it will give the opponent more opportunities.

But in football, every game is completely different.

When Arsenal cannot find a chance, it is indeed easy for Arsenal to control the ball too much and give them a chance to counterattack, but where did Roma's offense come from?

De Rossi, the defensive midfielder, needs to move forward and participate in the attack to achieve better results!
If Arsenal can't find a chance with the ball, Roma will have more counterattacks, and if Roma has more counterattacks, Arsenal will have more chances!
Dancing on the blade.

But Chen Mo is right. First of all, he is confident that his ability to seize opportunities is better than that of Roma. Secondly, this is Roma's home court, and the advantage is even greater with away goals!

Moreover, this is Roma's home court, and Chen Mo doesn't think Roma will defend the entire game at their home court.

The development of things was pretty much what Chen Mo thought.

Throughout the first half, Roma stayed behind to defend and did not take the initiative to fight. However, at the beginning of the second half, Roma changed their formation.

They seemed to want to catch Arsenal off guard, pressing the whole game as soon as the whistle blew.

But it's a pity that Chen Mo was already on guard.

In the 3rd minute of the game, De Rossi, who had been lagging behind, pressed to the front of the midfield and began to press. As he moved forward, Ronaldo immediately dropped from the center position to the attacking midfielder position.

When Ronaldo sinks, it stands to reason that one of Roma's two central defenders will have to come out, but Roma has also made plans.

The central defender did not step forward, but another Roma midfielder took over the defensive midfielder position to fill the space.

It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it still doesn't work.

Arsenal's left and right wingers are Bell and Di Maria. Although Bell's skills are not very good now and he is more of an overtaking monster, Di Maria on the right can play as a midfielder.

As the Roma midfielder moved into the center because of Ronaldo, Di Maria, who had been on the right wing, directly retreated to the right midfielder area!

empty!

The right front waist area is empty!

The moment Di Maria retreated, Chen Mo directly shouldered De Rossi and sent a through ball.

Upon seeing this, Roma's left back immediately went up to cover Di Maria, but at the same time as he went up, Arsenal right back Gianluca Zambrotta quickly came down from the wing amid the exclamations of fans around the world.

Yes, the purpose of Ronaldo's retracement was to create opportunities for Di Maria. Di Maria's retracement was to create opportunities for Zambrotta. When Zambrotta went down the wing undefended, the left Bale on the road, Ronaldo and Chen Mo in the middle, and Di Maria on the right in the middle, all four arrows rushed into Roma's penalty area immediately.

Four people outflank each other in the penalty area to grab points!
There was no suspense, Verdalo Di Maria directly pushed Roma's entire defense to the goal!
The penalty spot is empty!
Without any hesitation, Zambrotta directly sent a ground ball and passed it in an inverted triangle. The next second, Chen Mo, who rushed to the penalty spot, pushed directly with his right foot and easily pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

One to zero.

With Chen Mo's goal, the game basically came to an end.

Roma was able to resist Arsenal's attack throughout the first half because they kept defending, but how can they defend now that they are behind?

It must be attacked, and attacking out will give Arsenal more opportunities.

There was no suspense. When the referee sounded the whistle to end the game, the score was fixed at three to one.

They lost at home, but the Roma fans were not too uncomfortable. After all, Roma's strength is indeed not top-notch. Instead, when they saw Chen Mo and Totti exchanging the No. [-] jerseys and hugging each other, the whole audience rang with lasting cheers. Poor applause.

It's not a show, to be honest, Chen Mo really admires Totti.

Even before the introduction of Ronaldo, he asked Wenger if he could bring Totti to Arsenal.

Wenger did make an offer to Roma, but faced with the temptation of honors at the end of his career and a higher salary, Totti still rejected Wenger's invitation.

Chen Mo has always admired people with such a chivalrous spirit. After hugging him, he even invited Totti to go to London early for the second leg. He would cook an authentic Argentinian barbecue for Totti.

After winning the away game, Chen Mo was quite happy.

But soon, he became a little uncomfortable with the news reports.

[World Sports News: 6:0!Ball possession rate 87%!The team's passing success rate is 94%!Messi hat trick, Iniesta scored twice!In the first leg of the Champions League round of [-], Barcelona bloodbathed the Ligue [-] giants Lyon away from home! 】

The whole world was stunned!
The current Lyon is not the Lyon later. The current Lyon is the complete hegemon of Ligue 01. From [-] to last year, Lyon completed seven consecutive Ligue [-] championships!
Seven Ligue [-] titles in seven years!

Belonged to dominate Ligue [-] for an era!
But this Lyon team was beaten [-]-[-] by Barcelona!

And it was a completely crushing six to zero!

Not to mention ordinary fans, even Chen Mo was shocked.

To be honest, he knows how strong this Barcelona is, and he also knows that this Barcelona lost to Arsenal in the Champions League last season. A big reason is that the midfielder position is not suitable, but he still did not expect Barcelona to be so strong. !
87% ball possession rate, what is this concept?

It's like Lyon didn't touch the ball very much in the whole game!
Lyon, who had just completed their seventh consecutive Ligue [-] title, couldn't even touch the ball against Barcelona!

And Messi completed a hat trick in the first half!

This is a historical level of midfield control and a historical level of lethality!

There is no doubt that after this game, Chen Mo, who had become somewhat greedy because he had won three Champions Leagues and three Ballon d'Ors, once again felt tremendous pressure!
