In this game, AC Milan still used their entire main lineup. It can be seen that they still attach great importance to this game. Otherwise, some of the main players will definitely take turns in this game, after all, they just had a tough match against Dortmund in midweek.

Of course, it was not difficult for AC Milan to play in the midweek game. They secured the victory very early and some of the main players took a rest. But to be honest, the break was actually only for the next three people, and the rest played for the full 90 minutes.

Therefore, many people think that AC Milan's physical fitness is a big problem in this game.

The game just started, and Roma, playing at home, took the lead!

Smalling in the backcourt directly took a long pass and passed the football behind Akanji.

Akanji's position on the ball was a bit reckless, which directly led to a huge gap behind him, and the opponent's Roma offensive players were not offside.

This has always been an issue with Akanji, and it was exposed last season.

Tong Yi has emphasized this many times, but Akanji does have a short-circuit in his brain sometimes on the court. However, this situation is becoming less and less common, and Tong Yi thought he had completely changed! If this problem is corrected, Akanji will now be one of the best central defenders in the world.

Unfortunately, Akanji had such a problem again in this game.

Perotti on the wing moved forward and caught up with the football, but Akanji was a little too late to retreat.

However, Akanji's speed is very fast among central defenders, especially when chasing back. Therefore, Perotti did not dare to make any more moves, and directly passed the football to the center!

Dias and Dzeko in the middle grabbed the football at the same time and slid over fiercely.

The fans on both sides were counting down with hair on end.

With a bang, the two shoveled the football almost at the same time.

The football immediately changed direction and quickly grazed the outside of the near post, hitting the billboard hard.

The Roma fans at home held their heads in their hands and felt it was a great pity.

If this goal is scored, they will start with Tianhu, bringing the ball in!

Bang bang bang!

Although it was a pity, the Roma fans still applauded the Roma players.

They encouraged them and indicated that they are playing well and if they continue to play like this, they can defeat AC Milan!

Even some media reporters at the scene thought so, because they saw some fatigue from some AC Milan players. For example, this guy Akanji was obviously not reckless, but he was too tired. He was unwilling to take two more steps, which led to the vulnerability behind him being exploited.

Akanji immediately raised his hands to his teammates, indicating that the ball was his problem and that such a problem would not happen again next time.

Dias immediately raised his hand to signal Akanji not to be there and just play the rest of the game.

Shhhhhhh!

The Roma fans at the scene booed Akanji crazily. They wanted to break Akanji's mentality so that they could win easily.

But Akanji didn't fall for it and was very calm.

Boom, Courtois kicked the football away with a big kick.

Haaland in the frontcourt overwhelmed Fazio and flicked the ball to Lautaro who was advancing forward. Unfortunately, when Lautaro was about to catch up with the ball, the opponent's center back Smalling stretched out his leg and kicked the ball out of the baseline. He himself fell hard in the penalty area, lying on the ground and covering his inner thigh in pain, as if he had been strained.

The Roma fans at the scene became nervous instantly. No way, our side just had an advantage, are there any players injured? Is our Roma team really so unlucky? Or is it that the AC Milan people are so lucky that their opponents are all suffering from extensive injuries?

It is said that this guy Huaxia Tong is a great Chinese mage. Is it the result of this guy's methods?

Shhhhhhh!

The Roma fans at the scene booed Tong Yi crazily, and also cursed Tong Yi crazily. The words were very ugly.

Fortunately, after the team doctor came to check, there was no major problem, otherwise the Roman people's mentality would really explode.

Bang bang bang!

The Roma fans at the scene immediately gave Smalling applause and cheered him up.

Corner kick, AC Milan got a corner kick opportunity!

This frightened the fans of the Roma team. AC Milan's corner kick tactics have a high scoring rate. They must guard against it at this time. If they cannot guard against it, then the problem will be serious.

At the same time, Roma fans are worried about Smalling, wondering whether his recent injury will affect the defense this time? If it really affects it, it will be over.

Roma fans are very nervous and worried.

Suddenly, James in the corner kick quickly sent the football into the Roma penalty area with a curved kick, directly finding the head of Smalling. Smalling and Harland jumped up at the same time, but Harland jumped much higher than Smalling, at least two heads higher!

Obviously, although the strain just now is not a big problem, it may be a little painful now, so the strength is not sufficient.

. The height of the jump is not very high, which gives Harland a chance!

The Roma fans at the scene screamed in horror. This goal was very dangerous.

Many media reporters even felt that Roma had lost the ball and AC Milan had taken the lead.

Sure enough, AC Milan's strength is still much higher than that of Roma.

Tong Yi's technical and tactical arrangements are indeed better than Fonseca's. The attack against Smalling at this time was just arranged by Tong Yi. Wouldn't this opportunity come out?

good chance!

All the AC Milan fans in the audience screamed with excitement, raising their fists in the air to celebrate the football!

With a bang, Haaland hit the football in the middle with a very easy header, and the football shot quickly towards the Roma goal.

The ball was so fast that Roma fans didn't have any hope for their goalkeeper.

They all thought the ball was finished.

With a clang, the football hit the crossbar at the far end of the goal, and then quickly bounced off the baseline.

There was a dead silence in the whole stadium, and then the Roma fans celebrated for the rest of their lives, thanking God for his help.

This goal is really lucky, otherwise they would be trailing 0-1 now.

Playing against a team like AC Milan, being behind 0-1 is very passive.

Fortunately, God is with them!

The Roma fans clapped excitedly, and then inspired the Roma players, gesturing for them to continue attacking crazily.

Judging from the current situation, God is on our side, how can we lose?

Let go and play boldly. The winner of this game must be our Roma team.

Harland shook his head slightly and scratched his head a little. This ball was his problem. He immediately raised his hands to apologize to his teammates, saying that the ball should be his fault, and asked his teammates not to be discouraged and continue to play like this. Next time he will definitely be able to send the football into the Roma goal!

The AC Milan players still believed in Haaland and nodded one after another.

The game restarted, and the football quickly rolled to the midfield. The Roma team made continuous cross passes to get rid of the defense and pressure, but it was a bit difficult. At this moment, Perotti's stop was a little too big, but James seized the opportunity and went up to steal it.

James accelerated and rushed over, caught up with the football and immediately passed it across, and then quickly moved forward himself.

Most of Roma's defensive attention is on James, who is rushing forward. Do you think this is a two-on-one defense?

But Goretzka in the middle directly kicked the ball towards Haaland and Lautaro who were accelerating in the frontcourt!

Moreover, the movement of these two guys is also very unique. They do not pull the defensive players away, but directly cross the movement and bring the opponent's defensive players to the middle. There are gaps in the two rib positions of the Roma team. This is a good opportunity!

labor

Tarot did not stop the ball, but just moved the football diagonally forward for a while, and the football rolled into the small space in the ribs.

James rushed up quickly and came to the football!

Suddenly all the Roma fans were frightened again, their faces very ugly.

It's really dangerous now!

James kept stopping the ball and rushed into the penalty area. Facing Lopez in front of the goal, he almost didn't make any fake moves. He directly volleyed from a small angle and whipped out a very fast ground kick. The ball flew rapidly towards the far lower corner of the goal.

Lopez in front of the goal reacted very quickly. He jumped out immediately, but still failed to catch the football. The football hit the inside of the far post and then bounced into the goal.

One to zero, in the 19th minute of the first half, AC Milan scored in the away game!

The scene was completely silent!

The Roma fans just couldn't accept this damn result. They all stared with eyes wide and showed expressions of disbelief. How can this be?

James, who scored the goal, rushed out quickly and made a passionate slide.

The Roma fans at the scene immediately gave James a wave of boos, and the boos were higher than the wave, very fierce! Even some overly aggressive Roma fans at the scene lashed out at James with extremely disgusting curse words. This made James' reaction even more ferocious, and his bared teeth deeply stung the Roma fans.

The shouts of the Roma fans became even more fierce.

But this did not affect the celebrations of the AC Milan people at all. Even Rosenery in the stands jumped up excitedly, which was a bit humiliating to the Romans. This made the Roma fans excited, and the atmosphere at the scene was also very explosive, which made the security personnel at the scene a little nervous.

Tong Yi immediately came to the sidelines and signaled the AC Milan players in the stadium to calm down. They were leading at this time and it was best not to cause chaos. If they want to cause chaos, let the Romans cause chaos themselves. In this case, their probability of victory will be greater.

The AC Milan players immediately raised their hands to indicate that they had received the instructions.

Seeing this, the media reporters at the scene were amazed by Tong Yi's right to speak in the AC Milan locker room, which is something that ordinary head coaches cannot do. Even many famous coaches often fall over because the situation in the locker room is not handled well.

But here in Tongyi, such problems seem to occur very rarely!

One to zero, AC Milan took the lead. The next game should be much easier for AC Milan, right?

Of course, at this time, Tong Yi did not mean to underestimate the Roma team. He still reminded the AC Milan players to play seriously and not to get carried away just because they were ahead. This Roma team is still very strong. When the game just started, they created a very good opportunity!

Milan's players are very clear, express their understanding, and then go into battle!

As soon as the game started, Roma had a good opportunity.
