Football: Take away half of Boss Mei's skills at the beginning

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Parma's game strategy has not changed, and they are still bombarding the Croatian powerhouse.

There is still a certain gap in strength between their midfield and Parma's midfield, so after ten minutes, the rhythm of the game was completely taken away by Parma.

In the 13th minute, McAllister broke through the midfield line and reached the 30-meter area.

The opponent's central defender Dilawo had to step forward to stop him, but he passed the ball to Mateo before the opponent rushed over.

Mateo leaned on the defender and quickly passed the ball to Gervinho, then turned around and ran into the penalty area.

The Ivorian took a few steps forward with the ball, and then sent a low ball directly into the penalty area.

Mateo just arrived, he leaned on Catlin and pushed the ball directly, and the football went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

But Livakovic made a god-level save, he quickly got down and blocked the ball out of the baseline with his foot!

Mateo couldn't help but take a look at the young goalkeeper. This guy is really good.

But this aroused his competitive spirit.

Anyway, he will definitely have a lot of opportunities in this game, so let him see how many times this goalkeeper can save his shots!

In the 21st minute, Parma attacked from the left. Soucek passed the ball to the left. Jota chose to cut inside after getting the ball, leaving the left space for Cambiasso who was advancing.

Cambiasso also understood his intention. He immediately ran to the bottom line and waited for Jota's pass.

And Jota did not let Cambiasso run in vain. His pass was quickly delivered to Cambiasso's feet.

At this time, there were no defensive players around Cambiasso, so he kicked the ball directly!

Mateo jumped high in the penalty area and headed the ball over Catlin!

This time he deliberately hit a ball, and Livakovic did not have time to react. After hitting the ground, the football bounced heavily into the net!

One to zero, Parma took the lead away from home!

After scoring, Mateo laughed, opened his arms and greeted his teammates who ran over.

This was his first Champions League goal, and also the first Champions League goal of Parma in the 21st century!

De Zerbi on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he scored this goal, the next game would be easy to play!

It seems that playing against a weak team first in the Champions League also has its advantages, which can give the players more confidence!

After losing the ball, Dinamo Zagreb obviously did not want to give up the game, so they began to press forward in a big way, hoping to quickly equalize the score.

But this gave Parma more counterattack opportunities.

You know, Mateo is a counterattack core, and the opponent's pressure undoubtedly gave him more opportunities to show himself.

In the 35th minute, Olmo dribbled the ball to the penalty area. When he wanted to pass the ball diagonally to Olszczy, Di Lorenzo took the lead to destroy the ball, and the football fell to Rossi's feet.

Rossi did not hesitate and sent the ball to the front court with a long pass.

Although De Zerbi advocates ball control and short passes, he also pays attention to speed when counterattacking, so Rossi's long pass to Mateo is still very encouraged.

Mateo is also very familiar with Rossi's passing characteristics and routes, so he also judged the landing point early. After running back a few steps, he gently touched the ball and passed it to Gervinho on the right.

Gervinho immediately dribbled forward after receiving the ball. At this time, he had already pulled the speed to the maximum and seemed to be going directly into the penalty area.

Dilawo had to step forward to block his steps and was even ready to foul.

But Gervinho did not choose to go it alone, but quickly passed the ball to Mateo in the middle, and he was ready to bypass Dilawo and continue to move forward into the penalty area.

He knew that Mateo could pass the ball to him soon.

Sure enough, when his body was just parallel to Dilawo, Mateo had already sent the ball out.

The Ivorian accelerated and immediately left Dilawo behind!

At this time, there was an open space in front of him!

And Livakovic had chosen to attack, he wanted to block the opponent's shooting angle as much as possible!

But the Ivorian did not choose to shoot, but pushed the ball sideways!

At this time, Mateo also strode to the trajectory of the football. Although he was at the top of the penalty area, there was basically an empty goal in front of him!

He did not hesitate and kicked a push shot directly!

The football rolled into the goal very obediently!

2-0, Parma expanded its lead!

And Mateo and GerVinio's continuous cooperation completely disintegrated Dinamo Zagreb's defense!

While celebrating the goal, Mateo glanced at the frustrated Livakovic, thinking that the goalkeeper is at a natural disadvantage against the forward.

After leading 2-0, Parma did not choose to converge, but continued to attack the opponent's goal.

Because De Zerbi's requirement for them is to try to establish enough advantages in the first half, preferably to lock in the upgrade.

And they also faithfully implemented the coach's arrangement.

In the 44th minute, they seized the opportunity again.

This time it was McAllister who got the ball in the middle. He dribbled forward to the 30-meter area and was blocked by the back line.

So he handed the ball to Mateo who pulled out to respond, and he was ready to continue to move forward to provide Mateo with more points to pass the ball.

And Catlin, who was defending Mateo, was always paying attention to Mateo's movements and was ready to disrupt his pass.

Because Mateo's pass was very sharp and accurate, it was easy to find loopholes in the defense.

But this time he was wrong.

After receiving the ball, Mateo first made a feint to the left, then quickly dribbled to the right, while adjusting his body.

Previously, he had his back to the goal, but this time he faced the goal, which gave him more options for handling the ball.

Catlin saw that it was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to block Mateo's next move.

But Mateo did not give him a chance, and he chose to shoot directly!

The ball was very powerful and went directly to the upper right corner of the goal!

Livakovic was shocked and rushed to the ball with all his strength!

But the ball was too fast, and before he could get to the goal, the football had already arrived in front of the goal.

He jumped hard, but still failed to catch the football!

The football hit the net and landed gently in the goal.

This was undoubtedly another goal!

Three to zero, Parma almost locked the victory!

And Mateo completed a hat trick!

He laughed after scoring the goal.

Give you a shocking performance from a top striker!
