Chapter 202 Can't Always Play Second Hand?

Basel leads Roma 2:1.

The Swiss fans cheered.

Ranieri has no way to make substitutions to strengthen the attack.

He has already replaced two starters on the front line one after another. At this time, the only striker he can replace is Chelsea.

He didn't even think about it.

Roma kicks off.

Basel further strengthened the defense, leaving only one striker and one or two midfielders who stepped forward to support at any time.

Rome continued to press down on the border.

I have to say that in the games at the beginning of the season, the Roman generals were always furious.

They don't look like a consistent team at all.

The dismissal of Spalletti made their summer preparations completely overturned at the technical and tactical level.

Fumble, try, and change players one by one in the game to see the effect.

The state of the team will naturally fluctuate greatly.

Every game is forced to strengthen the offense, which is not normal in itself.

But now it's hard to get off.

It can only launch a strong attack against the scalp.

In the 75th minute of the game, Shen Feng kicked off.

Emerson, a defensive midfielder from the Roman period, came, and he can be regarded as a generation of famous players.

But it doesn't seem to help him much on the offensive end.

It makes him more efficient when countering on the spot in the frontcourt.

Roma bombed indiscriminately in the frontcourt.

Vucinic misfired, and Totti's successive shots were blocked and failed to pose a threat.

Shen Feng gestured to De Rossi to strengthen his long-range shots!

Anyway, Rome is switching means to threaten Basel's goal.

In the situation of tough battles, it is indispensable to use long-range shots to scratch the lottery.

Basel's defense is under increasing pressure.

When the game approached 90 minutes, Basel's tight defense made it difficult for the Roma striker to create good kicking opportunities in the penalty area.

The effect of passing the ball for a period of time is mediocre.

Shen Feng crossed to the front left of the penalty area and also tried a long shot, which was blocked by the defender from the bottom line.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Riise made an assist from the left and passed the ball back from the bottom. Shen Feng led the ball in and found that the inside line was blocked, so he quickly passed the ball to De Rossi, who wanted to go far. Shot, but a little far from the goal.

Seeing Totti pulling out from the penalty area to respond, he immediately passed the ball diagonally.

Totti saw Shen Feng's running line before touching the ball, so he decisively kicked the ball across the front right of the penalty area.

Shen Feng got rid of the defense when he passed in front of him, and looked at the situation in the penalty area. Basel's back line had already built a tight defense line in the penalty area.

A rush into the penalty area may not necessarily result in a shot.

So he adjusted his steps directly and shot vigorously!

The football blasted out suddenly flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Like a meteor falling into the dead corner of Basel's goal!

Basel players and fans were stunned instantly!

Shen Feng turned around and retreated without changing his face.

Roma fans roared excitedly again.

"On horseback, the only one Roma can fight is Shen Feng!"

"Others should serve Shen Feng!"

"Shouldn't Ranieri give Shen Feng a knock?"

"Shen Feng is ridiculously strong! He has already scored his 10th goal after joining Roma!"

The Roman generals retreated and raced against the clock.

But time is running out.

Basel did not launch a fast break after the kickoff, and the final blow failed to create a threat.

The final whistle blows.

Roma drew 2:2 with Basel away.

Shen Feng was somewhat depressed.

Scored twice, the game was not won.

After the game, Ranieri talked a lot, saying that he saw great potential from Roma's performance, and the team will definitely be able to perform better after adjustment.

The Italian media and Roma fans may not buy it.

You didn't even win Basel, why don't you tell me about your potential here?

On the second day after the team returned to Italy, at the end of the Serie A regular meeting, Rosella Sensi warned Ranieri in an interview: talk less and do more, let the results speak for themselves!

During the recovery training, Shen Feng seemed absent-minded.

De Rossi found that he was always looking at the gate of the training base.

"Who are you waiting for?"

Shen Feng sighed lightly.

"I wonder if there will be fans driving a flock of sheep to the training base again."

De Rossi pouted and said: "The fans care more about our performance in Serie A."

Shen Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

De Rossi thought of something belatedly, and stared at him unkindly.

"You don't drive today, you take my car to train, are you worried?"

"I forgot to refuel my car."

Shen Feng immediately ran to play a lap game with his teammates.

It was just that after the training, he returned to the hotel in De Rossi's car, and after dinner, he drove his own car on the road again.

Seeing this, De Rossi rolled down the car window before an intersection and shouted at Shen Feng: "Aren't you going to refuel? I think you are afraid of being thrown eggs by the fans!"

Shen Feng laughed out loud.

"Anyway, you're used to it! What's wrong with blocking me?"

The green light is on.

Ferrari started first.

De Rossi quickly followed.

The combination of the two enjoyed the nightlife in the city of Rome, which saved Shen Feng a lot of trouble.

As a native, De Rossi naturally knows which places it is best not to go as a Roman player.

For example, where there are more Lazio fans!

Mex and Menes, the French compatriots, often wandered in Rome as a team.

No, there was a conflict with Lazio fans in the bar tonight, and then Mex was knocked down with a punch.

Come weekend, Roma sits at home against Fiorentina.

Fiorentina, which started with two wins and one tie, has a good momentum under the leadership of Prandelli.

The Serie A media have predicted that Roma will be educated again by Fiorentina at home.

Shen Feng quickly forgot what Ranieri's pre-match deployment was.

Because before the opening, De Rossi pulled Totti and started a small meeting with him.

The two captains expressed that they can no longer wait for the situation to be passive before fighting back, they must be the first to make threats!

Shen Feng had no objection to this.

He learned more and more about Rome.

Teammates' technical characteristics, style, comprehensive strength, etc.

In terms of roles that can be played in offense, Vucinic is more suitable as a center forward, and Totti is more suitable as a shadow forward.

As for the other teammates, Baptista, Chelsea, and Menez, it cannot be said that there are problems of one kind or another. The bottom line is that the overall strength is not enough.

Therefore, to achieve the highest efficiency and threat, we still have to rely on their core group.

Others honestly play support.

Never have your own thoughts.

If you think too much, it is easy to do bad things.

The Olympic Stadium was crowded with people, and the Roma fans looked on Ranieri more or less.

Winning Siena in the last round is not a skill at all.

Today's Florence is still a decent opponent.

But in the hearts of Roma fans, Florence certainly did not regard Florence as a competitor.

They hope that the team can compete for the championship.

Rome starting 4231.

Goalkeeper: Sergio.

Defenders: Cassetti, Burdisso, Juan, Riise.

Midfield: Taddei, David Pizarro, Totti, De Rossi, Shen Feng.

Forward: Vucinic.

Florence starts 4231.

Goalkeeper: Frey.

Defenders: Comotto, Gamberini, Dainelli, Pascual.

Midfield: Mario Santana, Zanetti, Montolivo, Marchionne, Mutu.

Forward: Gilardino.

Before the kick-off, De Rossi gestured to Riise, telling him not to be cowardly!

Whistle, let's go.

The 4231 pairing of the two teams unexpectedly confronted each other after the opening, and both were speeding up their offense.

Fiorentina obviously wanted to catch Roma by surprise.

Rome thought so too.

The two teams picked up the rhythm instantly.

There was a fierce confrontation in the midfield.

As a result, the offense was played extremely hastily.

It is difficult to form a threat in the frontcourt.

But compared to Florence's ferocity of rushing forward and not turning back.

On Roma's side, Shen Feng began to control the rhythm in the frontcourt.

Actively control the ball to slow down, pass back, let De Rossi or Totti with better position and space to distribute the ball.

Roma's offense has obviously played more patiently in the frontcourt.

Vucinic took the lead in getting shots and kicking opportunities in the penalty area one after another, and the effect was mediocre.

Fiorentina's frontcourt attack is still accelerating.

As a result, the striker's return defense is insufficient.

There are more threats on Rome's side.

Shen Feng, De Rossi, and Taddei took turns to shoot long shots.

In the 19th minute of the game, Totti advanced into the right rib area of ​​​​the penalty area to respond to Taddei's pick pass, turned half-turned and hit a difficult volley!

The quality of the shot was off the charts, but Frey blocked the near corner and raised his hand to block the ball out of the baseline.

Prandelli squatted on the sidelines to watch the battle, his face became more and more ugly, and he was terrified!

Rome's offense seems to be full of infinite vitality!

Like Totti and Vucinic are their old acquaintances, you can understand their technical characteristics and strength without research.

But the performance of Roma's new aid Shen Feng caught Prandelli by surprise.

Not the 40-goal shooter this season?

Why do you work on the front waist in the frontcourt?

Front waist?

Ronaldinho, who has become popular in the past few years, is considered to be an iconic role in this position.

But it is different from Ronaldinho's personal ability to drive the attack group's overall attack, and his personal magical ability to break through and create opportunities.

Shen Feng still needs fixed support around him to be effective and threatening.

But in Rome he is definitely a support now.

Riise, De Rossi, Totti can barely count.

The combination of passing and cutting in a small area made Florence unable to defend locally!

Something will happen if this goes on!

Alarms sounded in Prandelli's mind.

He just stood up and was about to signal to the team, so he retreated first, and felt Shen Feng's depth steadily before making any plans.

But he is still waiting for a dead ball opportunity to remind the players.

The situation suddenly rose on the field.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Shen Feng controlled the ball from the left side of the front court. Facing the veteran full-back Komoto, he directly passed the ball back diagonally to find Riise, and then ran to the inside.

Riise didn't go to the bottom, but passed the ball to the middle.

De Rossi sent another direct pass.

Zanetti turned around and was about to intercept Shen Feng.

However, Shen Feng kicked the ball cleanly and knocked the ball across the middle.

Totti just got rid of Marchionne, took the initiative to respond and sent the ball into the left side of the penalty area with a diagonal pass.

Shen Feng was about to come into close contact with Gamberini while running, and when he touched the ball, he stopped abruptly and dialed the ball across the middle.

He planned to buckle it back again, but found that Gamberini was directly swayed by him!

The rhythm is more obvious than the opponent.

When Gamberini turned around to block again, Shen Feng took another step towards the center. Although he obviously felt frustrated, it didn't prevent him from getting rid of Gamberini.

Vucinic restrained Dainelli, and Shen Feng decisively kicked the goal!

The football shot with a strong right foot crossed a streamer from the counter-cutting line and entered the upper left corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Frey's save was powerless!

The cheers of the Roma fans shook all directions.
