Chapter 395 Fighting Rome
Looking at these players, you will know that Roma is aiming for the championship this year. In fact, the last time they won the league championship was not particularly far away. It was 1993. However, the number of times Roma has won the championship in history is still pitiful, except for 1993. Looking forward, it will be 1943.

Roma, which has been advancing all the way this year, has come to Inter Milan's home stadium, Meazza, and they are also planning to overthrow Inter Milan here.

Looking at the starting lineup of Roma, it can be seen that they have sent their strongest 11 people, the formation is 532, goalkeeper Antonioli, three central defenders, Samuel, Zago and Aldair, and Cafu on the wings And Candela, three midfielders, Tomasi, C. Zanetti and Totti, two forwards Delvecchio and Batistuta.

This is the strongest lineup that Roma can play at the moment. Vincent should be thankful. His move to snatch Emerson in the summer is so wise. If Emerson is added, Roma will really be a big deal.

The midfield is now Tomasi and Zanetti guarding the center, and Cafu and Candela are flying together on both wings. Roma's midfielder intercepts very fiercely. Cafu and Candela on the two wings can go up and down, which is scary, but so are the two wings of Inter Milan. World-class, their collision will be a confrontation with sparks flying.

Inter Milan still has a 442 formation today, four defenders Zanetti, Blanco, Materazzi and Thuram, four midfielders, Emerson, Pirlo, Seedorf and Jugovic, Two forwards Hakan Suk and Chiesa.

This is the regular formation of Inter Milan, except that two high points are used when the central defender is configured, because the two forwards of Roma, Batistuta and Delvecchio, are not low in height. Shang simply put two tall central defenders on the field.

Rome's current routine is to rely on interception and pressing in the middle, and then most of the offense is on the two wings. The impact of Cafu and Candela is still very strong.

Today is the same one. Tomasi and C. Zanetti put on a posture to block Inter Milan at the beginning of the game. attack.

To be honest, Inter Milan actually relies heavily on the center to attack. Jugovic and Seedorf are two full-backs, but they often cut into the center to attack and organize. It works.

Therefore, Rome's blockade of the center still limits the attack of Inter Milan.

Candela vs. Thuram, Cafu vs. Zanetti, the absolute needlepoint against Maimang. Although Candela has always been a solid substitute in the French national team, his strength is definitely world-class, especially now that he is at his peak.

In the 4th minute, Tomasi and C. Zanetti jointly intercepted the ball from Pirlo's feet, and then distributed it to Candela on the wing without even thinking about it. It's because Vincent has always trusted Lizarazu when he was in the French team, and he never gave Candela any chance. Today, he will use his performance to tell Vincent that he is no worse than Lizarazu.

The first line of defense facing Candela is actually Jugovic. Although Jugovic also made moves, as an offensive player, his defense is still a bit rudimentary. Candela quickly threw Jugovic away when he changed direction and accelerated. behind.

The real confrontation came this time, Candela VS Thuram, a confrontation between a pair of French teammates.To be honest, this kind of confrontation often occurs during the training of the national team, but because it is training, both sides are focusing on it, and there is no real confrontation.But now it was different, Candela went to Thuram without saying a word and accelerated, ready to compete with him.

The two of them knew each other very well. One moved forward and the other retreated. They seemed careless, but they were murderous every step of the way. Every movement of Kendela affected Thuram's nerves. Similarly, every movement of Thuram's feet would also make Kendela Think faster and move faster.

The two came to the bottom line in this way. Candela saw that there was not much space left, so he gritted his teeth and made an emergency stop, and then slammed the ball forward again before he could stand still.

This action will definitely flash a gap in the cross before, but this time when Candela was about to kick the cross, Thuram's long legs also reached this position, destroying the cross, and the most excessive But the ball was not a corner kick, but was destroyed by Thuram and went out of the sideline. Roma only got a throw-in near the corner flag.

"That's right," Fan Shang said in his heart, "Sure enough, he did not live up to the expensive transfer fee. Now Thuram is definitely the world's number one right back. By the way, let's see what tricks Cafu has."

Vincent turned his attention to the side of Cafu and Zanetti again. With the failure of Candela's first attack, Cafu also ushered in the first attack opportunity of this game.

Seedorf seemed to have copied Yugovich just now, and was even worse than Yugovic. He just glanced at Cafu with his eyes, and then took the initiative to hand in his gun and let it go.

This time, Brazil met Argentina. Cafu and Zanetti started the sidewalk competition. Cafu did not run to the bottom line like Candela. cut in.

Zanetti didn't eat fake moves, and followed Cafu closely, staying close at every step, but without taking a step, the card mastered Cafu's breakthrough and passing lines.

Although Cafu was in front of the penalty area, he found that in addition to passing back, it became an extravagant hope to shoot or pass forward. Cafu continued to dribble forward and entered the penalty area. At this time, the defensive players had no reason to let him go. , Zanetti and Blanco clamped Cafu one after another, and the latter poked the ball away at his feet.

The poor offense of the two wingers made Roma very troubled. Their offensive focus is on both sides. If he doesn't start the game, scoring may become a problem, let alone win the game.

So Rome tried the middle lane again. Although Totti is the prince of Rome, he can't take any advantage in the one-on-one with Emerson. Not only that, but Totti, who was alone in the middle lane, We also have to face the double attack of Emerson and Pirlo. Although Pirlo lacks defensive ability, he can still play a blocking role.

Capello is now standing on the sidelines with a gloomy face. He didn't expect Inter Milan to restrain Roma's offense so much. His team's offensive routines seem to be ineffective now, and some countermeasures need to be taken.
