heir to the red devil

Chapter 686 tit for tat!

Spalletti just took over Roma more than two months ago. The former coach Garcia led the team with poor results, and had some conflicts with the management, and finally left the team sadly.Spalletti stepped in and took charge of the Red Wolves.

However, since Spalletti coached Rome, Roma's performance has been greatly improved. They have won five consecutive victories in the league, leaping from fifth in the league to second in the league, and are currently only 7 away from Juventus at the top of the list. minute distance.And in the Champions League knockout round, they tenaciously defeated Chelsea and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

It can be said that Rome is in a hot state during this period, and Spalletti is in high spirits.

Since Spalletti took over the team, he has relied more on Salah.And Salah lived up to expectations, still continued his excellent form, and repeatedly helped Rome destroy the city.

And Alisson is an important player under Spalletti. He has now become one of the hottest young goalkeepers in Serie A.

At this time, Spalletti was standing in the Stadio Olimpico, looking at the players warming up on the field, his heart was surging. He was looking forward to defeating Manchester United at home.

When he shook hands with Kintag just now on the sidelines, Spalletti was somewhat disapproving of the young head coach.

How did such an unremarkable young man achieve such an achievement?
But Spalletti thought to himself, if I can be placed in the coaching position of Manchester United, I believe I can achieve the same or even surpass his achievements.

However, Spalletti does have the capital of arrogance. He has won a wave of consecutive victories in the league, and even defeated the mighty Juventus; Champions League quarter-finals.He is entitled to be arrogant.

But in front of Jin Taige, he was still far behind.

On the coaching bench of the visiting team, Ferran said with some annoyance: "Look at Spalletti's eyes just now, full of disdain. After the game starts, let him see how good we are!"

Jin Taige was also a little displeased with Spalletti's eyes just now, but all grievances and grievances were resolved on the court.

The pre-match warm-up was over, and the players of both teams returned to the locker room to listen to the head coach's final speech.

In the locker room of the home team, Spalletti proudly said to the players: "Today we are going to play bloody! Take advantage of the home court to attack the opponent and strive for more goal difference!"

In the locker room of the visiting team, Kintag also made a tactical arrangement: "Roma is a team that always likes to play downwind, so as long as we can control the rhythm of the game, then the next step will be easy. So I ask you to Grasp your own game rhythm and don't be led by Roma."

"Hello, audience friends, this is BT Sport, I'm your old friend Trike, and it's my old partner Nori who is explaining the game with me today."

"This game is an important match in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The Premier League giants Manchester United played against the Serie A giants Roma. These two teams have been in a very hot state recently. Manchester United has just won the League Cup. The Premier League is thriving again; Roma defeated the powerful Juventus in the last round, and they have won five consecutive league victories. Therefore, the contest between these two teams must be a very hot game."

"Today Manchester United sent a full main lineup. It is still the familiar 4-4-2 formation: the goalkeeper is De Gea; the defense is a combination of Van Dijk and Coulibaly partnering central defenders, and on the left and right are Alonso and Barcelona. Rencia; the midfielder is Kanter and Lampard, Mahrez and De Bruyne one left and one right; the striker is a combination of Lewandowski and Griezmann. The substitutes are Romero, Kimmich, Nathan Ingolan, Kroos, Fekir, Martial, Dybala."

"This lineup can be said to be all-powerful this season, especially their striker combination Lewandowski and Griezmann. The two cooperate with each other tacitly. They have scored 58 goals together this season. The efficiency is very impressive! The team they formed The striker will put a lot of pressure on Roma!"

"Today Roma formed a 4-3-3 formation: Alisson in goal; Digne, Bailly, Manolas and Florenzi at the back; De Rossi, Wankel and Florenzi in midfield. Pjanic; the three forwards are Shalawi, Dzeko and Salah. The substitutes are De Sanctis, Perotti, Totti, Keita, Maicon, Rudiger and Dzukanovic .”

"Compared to Manchester United's striker combination, Roma's striker should not be underestimated. This season, Roma's offensive trident has performed very well. Under the cover of center Dzeko, the left and right wingers Salah and Shalawi have repeatedly scored goals and performed very well. outstanding; and Perotti, who just came on loan during the winter transfer period, also performed very well. It seems that he has a great possibility to stay in Rome after the end of this season. I believe that Rome's striker combination will also give Manchester United's defense Caused a lot of trouble."

"The two teams not only have strong strikers, but their midfielders are also very good. Manchester United had Lampard commanding the offense before, and then Kante defended. Mahrez and De Bruyne are even sharper figures. Manchester United's midfielder The configuration can be described as top in Europe."

"And the Roma midfielder is also very strong. This season, when Totti was often injured and absent, Pjanic became the core of Roma's midfielder. Under the protection of De Rossi, Roma also played a very strong role. Strength."

"Who will win and who will lose in this game is still unknown."

"With the referee's whistle, Roma kicks off first!"

"After Salah and Dzeko passed the ball, he and Shalawi rushed forward and waited for the opportunity."

"Pjanic holds the ball in midfield, and De Bruyne's goal was swayed by him!"

"Lampard tackles! Pjanic makes a long pass and finds Salah!"

"Salah dribbled the ball down United's right!"

"As soon as Alonso stretched out his foot, he was passed by Salah! This time he made a quick pass, quite like Messi!"

"Salah took the ball and kept going! Van Dijk rushed up and tried to stop Salah's pass!"

"Salah shot straight from the edge of the box! The ball hit the crossbar!"

"With less than a minute into the game, Roma almost broke Manchester United's goal!"

Seeing that his shot almost went into the net, Salah waved his arm in disappointment: "What a pity."

Van Dijk, who was defending him, rolled his eyes at him: "You're a ruthless kid."

"We are brothers after the game, but now we are opponents. I will not show mercy. Even if Manchester United is eliminated, I will not hesitate!" Salah stared at Van Dijk coldly.

Van Dijk looked at Salah, he nodded, and then looked fiercely: "Then next time I defend you, I won't be polite to you again!"
