Chapter 234 Playing Roma at home in Lazio

Agnelli, the chairman of Juventus, came to Wu Haowen's office.

"Wu, I don't know what to say, but you understand how I feel..."

Agnelli's words were somewhat incoherent, but what he wanted to express was actually very simple, and Wu Haowen also understood it.

"I understand what you mean. Mr. Chairman, there is no need to say more! We Juventus will definitely win all the honors this season."

Wu Haowen wants to give Agnelli a reassurance, although he did not expect that even Agnelli on the board of directors was worried about qualifying for the Champions League group stage, which shows that Juventus is still skeptical about his coaching ability.

The panic of those fans stems from Barcelona and Benfica.But with the strength of Juventus, even if they face them directly, they will not be afraid that the group will not be able to qualify!Wu Haowen felt that they should have panicked too much, unexpectedly, even Agnelli was so nervous that he was dying.It seems that Juventus' expectations for the Champions League are too high, causing a little bit of pressure to be overly tense.

Agnelli left the office contented.

……

Roma, as a veteran team in Serie A, has sunk over the years.Eusebio Di Francesco is the head coach of Rome. He has been coaching Rome since 17. Over the years, Rome has clearly had the color of Di Francesco.

Distinctive speed, good use of fast break.In recent seasons, Roma has become a frequent visitor to the Europa League. The UEFA Champions League qualifying match seems to have become an event that the Romans look forward to, and the board of directors is also divided into two factions.

One faction is to support the head coach Di Francesco. After all, at least Roma is currently an upstream team, which guarantees the qualification for European competitions;

However, the conservative and complacent nature of Serie A has caused Serie A to gradually sink, making many excellent head coaches unwilling to come over.In addition, the board of directors is not optimistic about the current coaches who can challenge Juventus, Inter Milan and Naples to the top three in Serie A. They think that such a coach is difficult to find, at least in Italy at present.

On August 8, Juventus came to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Speaking of this stadium, there are many stories.The Stadio Olimpico is the home court shared by Rome and Lazio. Juventus has a good record against Rome in the last three years. Can win 3 away games, but against Lazio, it has 2 draws and [-] loss.

Same place, different results.It is indeed a trick of good fortune.

Facing Roma, Juventus does not have any psychological pressure.

In the 15th minute, Juventus took a left corner kick.

Pjanic and Sandro in the penalty area met eyes, and both sides nodded secretly.Then Pjanic used his usual right foot to charge, and lifted the ball vigorously towards the penalty area in the direction of the far post.

Sandro, who was near the penalty spot, quickly moved to the sideline of the small penalty area on the left the moment Pjanic touched the ball, and then rushed the ball to Arthur on the left before the Roman player Presnel Kimpembe.

The ball bounced on Arthur and bounced to the outside. Arthur hurried forward to control the ball, and immediately distributed the ball to the penalty spot, and handed it to Gabriele Korbo, who was unmarked at the moment.

The moment Artur passed the ball, Korbo understood his intention.Follow the direction of the ball and shoot directly in the air.The ball was very powerful and went straight to the middle of the goal.

Rome's goalkeeper, Mattia Perrin, the Italian national goalkeeper, kept a defensive posture and didn't even make a save.Because the ball was so fast that Palin didn't even bother to make a fearless save.

Perrin shook his head helplessly.

The Bianconeri is also his pain.Originally went with a dream, but finally left dismal because the main force could not be guaranteed.Juventus brought him bitter memories, but he quickly found confidence in Rome and established himself.

After all, he is a goalkeeper. Although he wants his Roma to win, he also knows what he can do to minimize fearless goals.It is not the first time he has seen the strength of Juventus.I have played against each other a few times, and I have tried my best.

For the goal just now, because Artur and Kolbo were too close, and Kolbo shot so powerfully that he couldn't react in time, now Palin hoped that his frontcourt teammates would be stronger and pull back a goal, at least the two sides returned to the same starting point.

However, the reality is cruel.Palin didn't wait for his teammate's goal, but once again ushered in a strong attack from Juventus.

In the 27th minute, Juventus took a free kick in the backcourt.

Kerbo kicked the ball towards Arthur who was near the midfield line. Arthur didn't dare to be careless, and retreated to meet the ball.Because since losing a goal, Roma's tactics have become full-court defense, and the marking has become more proactive.

Although everyone knows that doing so will consume a lot of energy, if Roma wants to get it back, they can only take the initiative to increase the chances of Juventus players passing the ball and thereby increase their chances of stealing.

However, it is clear that Juventus players have strong personal abilities, and it is basically difficult to have a chance in dribbling the ball, even if the Roma players are so active.

The moment Arthur touched the ball, he directly passed the ball to his teammate Pjanic on the left.

As a midfield engine, although Pjanic is 32 years old, his competitive state has been affected by Ronaldo and has been maintained very well.After a few games, he has been firmly seated as the starting midfielder, which is also the result of his own hard work.

Pjanic has stayed in Rome for 6 years, and he has feelings for Rome.But he also knows that he is a professional player, there is no old love on the field, only responsibilities.

Pjanic had observed the running position of his teammates a long time ago. Seeing Arthur's pass, he immediately made up for the long pass and kicked the ball from the left side of the midfield to the right frontcourt, trying to make Bernardeschi chase the ball while running.

It's a pity that the timing of this pass was not good. Rome's defense Antonio Rudiger seemed to have seen Bernardeschi's defensive loopholes and came out from the penalty area. He happened to catch up with the ball and pushed the ball back.

Roma's Stephen Al Shalawi quickly retreated to take the ball, grabbed the ball before Juventus player Cancelo, and passed it to teammate Sandro Tonali on the left for the first time.

After all, Tonali is young and inexperienced on the field.After he received the ball, he turned around and passed the ball. He didn't notice that Juventus' Fernandez was behind him. As a result, the ball hit Fernandez and Juventus got the ball again.

Fernandez quickly stepped forward and kicked the ball to the front right and handed it to Cancelo on the wing.

Cancelo waded down the ball with his left foot and dribbled it down the right.At this moment, his position is almost close to the edge of the penalty area on the right.

Roma players will naturally be aware of Cancelo's next intentions.Kimpembe quickly chased after him, trying to block Cancelo's passing line from the left side, but Cancelo is not a rookie, so naturally he knew that the pass should be passed before Kimpembe did not pose a threat.

So, just a little past the corner of the penalty area on the right, Cancelo hurriedly made a pass from the right, and the ball was hoisted towards the penalty area at the far post on the left.

At the moment in the penalty area in front of the goal, Zhang Yuning was looking back at the trajectory of the ball from time to time.At the same time, he was also accelerating constantly, trying to get rid of Alessandro Florenzi who was defending him.

When Zhang Yuning ran to the front of the corner of the small penalty area, the ball was about to fall here.But at this time, his chances are not good.Because goalkeeper Palin, Florenzi, who was marking him, and Manolas, who ran from the left perimeter to help defend him, had formed an encirclement circle around him.

This attack opportunity seems to be about to be lost!
