Chapter 101: There Are No Underdogs in the Champions League
The quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League are about to begin.
The Serie A media even focused on Juventus and Roma.
The team that Juventus is about to face is Chelsea, and the strength gap between the two sides is not very big.
But what is reassuring is Rome. Unfortunately, they met Paris Saint-Germain with a dual-core system.
The Serie A media sometimes feel outrageous, what the hell is going on in Group H?
A team as strong as Paris Saint-Germain actually qualified second in the group?
So what is the significance of them getting the first place in the group?
Labor and management desperately strive for the first place, in order to go one step further and beat weaker teams.
You just throw a king and blow it out.
Time and fate, the heavens will destroy my Great Rome!
The Serie A media was full of grief. They stayed up all night and made several lineup deduction, but looking at Paris Saint-Germain's almost perfect lineup, they couldn't think of any way.
With Buffon in the backcourt, the defensive command slipped away.
Not to mention the impact of the striker.
As for Paris' midfielder, this is a BUG!
This is a world-class BUG!
Let's talk about Rome first.
Roma's midfield is mainly composed of Strowman and De Rossi.
Stroman is an 'excellent' midfielder with an excellent overall view and precise long pass scheduling. He is called Little Cocu for no reason.
Compared with the previous midfielder Pizarro, it is much better, and with the escort of De Rossi's offer, he can better join the offensive organization.
De Rossi is nicknamed the big brother, and his characteristics have changed a lot, although he basically plays the position of midfielder or central midfielder.
When he was young, he was a typical Roman hard-footed player. His violent long-range shots and coquettish long passes and inserts were excellent.
At the same time, the ball ability is also good,
Although the transmission and control belt is not top-notch, it also has bright spots. The most important thing is that it is full of fighting spirit, tough in confrontation, and has a big heart.
He can often inspire his teammates. Even at a disadvantage, Roma's mental attributes are still off the charts.
And in this year's World Cup qualifiers, he even became popular on the Internet with the video of "the team needs to attack and refuses to play".
But the problem is that this product has inherited the fine tradition of Rome's youth training.
Funny ratio + lively + secondary characteristics.
He can often do ridiculous things, inexplicably eating cards, showing off his footwork blindly regardless of the situation, the movements are very beautiful, but the problem is whether P is used.
And these problems also made him unable to play the traditional Italian Regista role.
You can't delay the organization as a metronome, you can only be slowly transformed into a role player.
Now De Rossi is a guard with a knife and a full-time bodyguard.
Previously in Rome, he was Pizarro's bodyguard, and he needed to be held back when the opponent committed a second offense.
If you can't hold it? Then commit two crimes together!
After Pizarro retired, Strowman took over, and he began to become Strowman's bodyguard again.
In the national team is Pirlo's bodyguard.
Does this set sound a little familiar?
That's right, Boas copied this set of 'homework' to build his own midfield!
And the most critical question is that what he does is better than anyone else.
Discovered Yi Le, the super midfielder that everyone dreams of, from the low-level competition area, and then violently poached him, and directly brought Cantera over to Yi Le as a bodyguard.
So here comes the problem.
Strowman + De Rossi VS Yi Le + Kanter.
Which is stronger and which is weaker?
Undoubtedly the latter.
Let's talk about Roma's frontcourt. Dzeko's performance is good, and he has the taste of getting older and more monsters, but he can't do the crazy mode of Lewandowski.
Now Rome has advanced to the top 16, and one more step will be the top eight. The last time they advanced to the top eight was ten years ago.
Dzeko is an indispensable and important factor in Rome's offense today, and amidst the media's praise, he also announced inflatedly: 'Now is my peak! ’ Speech.
But Dzeko is fierce, but does Paris boo him?
The striker combination of Neymar, Cavani and Mbappe, isn't he good?
You are not afraid of one-on-one, let alone the three stinky cobblers, the problem is that these three are definitely not stinky cobblers!
Therefore, no matter what angle the Serie A media looks at, there is no point in kicking this f*ck!
This is where they are most depressed.
Unless...Yi Le and Neymar started hammering people again and were directly banned by UEFA, this is the possibility of promotion.
This UEFA Champions League quarter-final is difficult for Roma!
…
The Ligue 1 media is much more optimistic.
It is no longer a question of losing, but a question of winning a few goals.
Many French media have predicted.
"Paris Living" directly said that they could win three goals and shave their heads for Rome.
The "Kingdom of Monaco" also expressed sourly that Paris has a better chance of winning, probably about two goals.
The local media in Lyon did not get involved. After the last game, they have not been relieved.
The report of "L'Equipe" is more pertinent. They said:
"There are no underdogs in the Champions League. Although there is a gap in the lineup, there will be various accidents in the football field. The upset is not a specific game. We cannot be sure that it will not happen to us. Although from In terms of strength on paper, Paris is much stronger, but it is the players who play football, and the state of the day plays a vital role."
"Worth does not necessarily represent strength. Everything depends on the game of the day. We naturally hope that Paris can win, but Rome has not reached the quarterfinals in the past ten years. This desire will become their motivation. Don't underestimate anyone. !"
The report of "L'Equipe" has been recognized by most people, and it has also made some confident fans gradually become serious.
The die-hard fans of Paris completely abandon the outside rumors.
They covered their ears with their hands, not wishing to hear any news about Paris.
Although, there is no such thing as poisoned milk in Europe.
But every time in the Champions League, Paris is blown to the sky and then severely beaten in the face, which is similar to poisonous milk.
Therefore, for the reports of many media, the attitude of Paris fans is very consistent.
Do not listen! Do not listen! Baba chant scriptures!
…
On Valentine's Day, February 14th, Paris Saint-Germain's integrated team went to Italy to prepare for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
On this day, some teams' games have already started.
Bayern Munich VS Tottenham Hotspur.
Liverpool VS Dortmund.
The battle between the Premier League and the Bundesliga has begun.
The two games started at 5 o'clock local time. After Yi Le and others finished the game, they gathered together to watch the game.
Yi Le chose to watch the match between Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur.
After all, it is the old club, so you have to pay attention to it.
But the game was unexpected.
Tottenham Hotspur were completely blown away.
Lewandowski was in a brave state, staged a hat-trick, and ravaged Tottenham Hotspur at Bayern's home court.
As for Tottenham, Sun Xingmin and Harry Kane often overlap, and Elkeson in the midfield is even in a semi-invisible state.
The whole team played in a mess.
In the second half, Sun Xingmin was impatient with the opponent's defense, made a pedaling action, and was directly sent off by a red card.
So far, Tottenham have lost the game.
The final score was Bayern Munich 5:0 Tottenham Hotspur.
Lewandowski scored a hat-trick and Thomas Muller scored twice.
This means that it is extremely difficult for Tottenham Hotspur to advance.
This scene also shocked countless Premier League fans, what happened to Tottenham?
Why did their championship team become like this?
Fortunately, good news came from Liverpool. With the goals of Salah and Mane, Liverpool beat Dortmund 2-0 at home.
