Chapter 256 Atypical Italian Team!
When something that was originally insignificant turns into a trouble, it often makes people's mood deteriorate more rapidly.
Ranieri is in this mood now.
The heart is against the Europa League knockout round.
But since they came, they also put on a counter-resistance posture step by step.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that Panathinaikos made Rome's muddy feet deep.
I didn't want to get entangled with Panathinaikos.
But underestimated the energy of the Greek powerhouse breaking out at home.
It's hard to get off now.
If Rome does not make full efforts, it will lose face and lose its lining.
Even if the board of directors is held accountable, Roma still has room to maneuver at home to make amends.
But Ranieri could not ignore the consumption of the main force running all the way across the Mediterranean to Greece.
The cost of consumption must have results to bring back!
That makes sense.
So he sullenly made the substitution.
The two fast horses, Cherci and Menes, got up and warmed up for their debut.
Panathinaikos players celebrate, fans cheer.
Both the picture and the sound stimulated the nerves of the Roman generals.
Everything in front of the eyes and the sound in the ears are all mocking and taunting the leader of Serie A.
As the captain on the field today, De Rossi certainly bears the brunt.
He didn't roar or roar at this time, but his anger could be clearly felt.
De Rossi gestures to his teammates.
fed up!
All thoughts and worries are left behind.
Pull out all the firepower to fight Panathinaikos!
Panathinaikos took the lead again, and this time they learned their lesson and continued to maintain their previous posture after the kick-off in Rome.
The two teams competed fiercely in the midfield.
Rome's formation was clearly overwhelmed.
Panathinaikos was at a disadvantage as soon as it was hand-to-hand.
Roma has a strong midfield. If it weren't for today's opening to defend and counterattack, they could completely dominate the midfield.
The hard power is definitely at least one gear higher than Panathinaikos.
In the 60th minute of the game, Roma made a substitution.
Cherci and Menez debut.
Replaced Vucinic and Taddei.
Ranieri gestured on the sidelines to let Shen Feng go to the center position.
Roman changes 433!
Even though the Roman midfielder lacks creativity, but with the current three midfielders and the assist ability of the full-backs, Ranieri does not believe that Rome cannot play an advantage and create a threat.
And Roma need goals.
Putting the top scorer in the team at the center position requires Shen Feng's scoring ability.
After Rome changed its formation, it flew on both wings.
Shen Feng ran in the middle of the frontcourt to observe the situation, ready to respond or start a forward charge at any time.
Although the Roma midfielder has changed from 4 midfielders to 3 midfielders, De Rossi, Pizarro, and Brigi rely on a powerful and fierce aura to make Panathinaikos fight steadily in the midfield. retreat.
After winning the advantage, they continued to distribute the ball to the side. Riise and Motta created opportunities for Chelsea and Menes one after another. The two needed time to get into the state after their debut.
Some opportunities were wasted at first.
But then it got better and better, and gradually took advantage of the speed.
In the 70th minute of the game, when Chelsea dribbled down the bottom from the left and then passed the ball back, Riise came up to respond and crossed the ball diagonally into the penalty area.
Shen Feng rushed to the left rib area of the penalty area and took a step forward with the ball, driving the defenders defending him to retreat towards the goal.
But when he took a step to the ball, he stopped abruptly, shifting his weight and changing the direction of the ball to cut across!
Panathinaikos central defender Wentra turned around and moved towards the middle, just as he raised his legs, he saw Shen Feng smashing the ball back again.
One push and one buckle, leaving behind!
Wentra didn't have time to change his center of gravity, and the tempo was already completely ahead of Shen Feng.
After breaking through Wentra, Shen Feng immediately volleyed!
The football flew towards the far corner of the goal without a trace of rotation.
Hit in the far corner of the goal netting.
General Panathinaikos was dumbfounded.
Seeing the calm Shen Feng after scoring twice, a trace of fear rose in his heart.
Is this the man who dominates the Serie A scorer list?
Not only is he capable of grasping opportunities, but he also excels in the restricted area with agility!
The Roman generals did not get carried away with their celebrations.
They have been beaten and fucked before, and now they are more unsatisfied.
Just to save face.
It is impossible to get carried away with it.
The score was rewritten to 2:2.
This score is absolutely acceptable for Rome.
But the Roman generals on the field did not intend to let it go.
Panathinaikos fought Roma with all his strength after the kick-off, but was desperate to find that he was still at a disadvantage.
The gap in hard power was most vividly reflected when the Roman army broke out with a strong fighting spirit.
Panathinaikos had no choice but to give up positional warfare and counterattack, and instead adopted a simpler and rude punching and hanging.
At the same time, the defense against Shen Feng was further strengthened.
The frontal blockade is tighter.
Shen Feng was still patiently running around, not daring to be distracted for fear of missing the opportunity.
When the game came to 75 minutes, Shen Feng opened up.
Met a Carrick from last year.
The mood is turbulent.
Consciousness returns to reality.
Roma continued to control the midfield, and the wings were flying together.
It's just that there is no threat to the routine of crossing in the middle.
Not to mention the opponents, even the audience can see that the two Roman wingers seem to only cross.
In fact, the two of them didn't have this style, but Shen Feng was in the middle, so they didn't dare to play their own, and they had to play for Shen Feng.
Otherwise, don't say whether Shen Feng has any objections.
Ranieri must be dissatisfied, and captain De Rossi will absolutely scold them both in the locker room.
Didn't you see that everyone was full of fire?
At this time, any personal performance is not as real as a goal.
For a while, he couldn't play a threat or get a chance, so Shen Feng took the initiative to retreat to meet him, to see if he could play a new change.
The two central defenders of Panathinaikos were obviously a little nervous marking Shen Feng.
Actively follow him to move.
Make sure to keep Shen Feng within their defensive range.
This has, in defensive principle, lowered the priority of the zone defense to the back of the man-marking defense.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Shen Feng took the initiative to retreat and glanced behind him.
After responding to Pizarro's pass, he changed the direction of the ball slightly and adjusted it a step, then suddenly knocked the heel of the ball towards the penalty area behind him!
The two central defenders of Panathinaikos have no time to intercept. This is the disadvantage. If you only focus on man-to-man defense, you will become passive.
And exposed the space behind.
The audience was amazed.
Shen Feng's heel went straight through Panathinaikos' defense.
Show off the sky, exude fairy spirit!
I saw that Cerci formed a single knife after throwing off the defensive player in the inner cut.
Calmly push the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!
Roma fans passionately carnival!
Ranieri also raised his fist on the sidelines and swung it heavily.
Roma fell behind twice to equalize the score twice, and now they have completed the overtake!
The generals of Panathinaikos were struck by five thunderbolts.
Really can't beat it!
Regardless of technical tactics or player strength.
They are comprehensively behind Roma.
In the 85th minute of the game, Roma made a substitution.
Shen Feng stepped off.
Baptista enters.
The Athens fans watched Shen Feng slowly leave the field with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Shen Feng, who shot two shots and passed one pass today, undoubtedly destroyed all the efforts of Panathinaikos!
Ranieri took the initiative to hug Shen Feng, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Originally, they wanted to let Shen Feng play for 70 minutes before taking a break, but in the end, he almost played the entire game.
Shen Feng took the coat from the assistant coach and put it on, sat down to rest, and calmly waited for the end of the game.
Roma began to shrink their formation in the final minutes.
Panathinaikos may have seen Shen Feng leave the field, and the defensive pressure dropped sharply. In addition to playing at home, Panathinaikos must be ruined.
Once again, the soldiers pressed the border, gritted their teeth and rushed to kill!
Within 5 minutes, Roma had two consecutive excellent counterattack opportunities to the frontcourt and played so anticlimactic that Ranieri couldn't help beating his chest and stamping his feet.
In stoppage time, Panathinaikos, who was almost oppressed by the whole army, once again created chaos in the restricted area of Rome.
During the chaos, Cisse shot and scored!
Ranieri was stunned for a moment.
The generals in Rome also looked tangled and unwilling!
Shen Feng couldn't help but covered his face with his hands and rubbed his face.
The home fans cheered wildly.
Although they have led twice.
Now it is just to tie the score to 3:3.
But it's better than losing at home.
The game soon came to an end.
Shen Feng got up without saying a word and walked towards the player tunnel.
A Panathinaikos player came to him to exchange jerseys, Shen Feng took off the jersey and handed it to the opponent, and then took the opponent's jersey.
Just looking at the results, it's not too bad for Roma.
But this process makes them completely unhappy.
Pack your bags and head back to Rome overnight.
De Rossi, who had been silent after the game, suddenly started complaining to Shen Feng on the plane.
Of course, he didn't shout so loudly that all his teammates could hear him.
"Our back line is rubbish!"
Shen Feng didn't want to respond to him.
But I was afraid that he would lose control and come out of his mouth.
So he whispered to him: "Defense cannot only be related to defenders."
"Then you mean that we are fully defended, and there are also big problems in the midfield?"
De Rossi will not admit this.
After all, he didn't let his opponent penetrate the middle, nor did he pose a threat to his opponent's long-range shots.
Shen Feng frowned and said, "We are not like a traditional Serie A team at all.
Recall carefully, when did we encounter a situation in the game where the opponent had more than six players besieging the penalty area? Inter Milan? AC Milan? Juventus?
Have they stormed our defenses like this?
Most of the time we only need to guard three or four attacking players, and in most games, our defensive line will not stay in the penalty area.
Today I was pushed into the penalty area, and there are so many opponents attacking the penalty area. If you are a defender, can you adapt?
Will you not panic? "
De Rossi was speechless.
None of the top three in the north dared to force the Roman defense.
A big reason is that they are very conservative.
If more than six players come within 25 yards of the Roma goal.
This means that their backcourt defense will be extremely empty.
In fact, before being tied today, Roma had every chance to break Panathinaikos' goal again.
It's a pity that the striker squandered the opportunity.
In the final analysis, Rome has gains and losses.
In terms of style, they are unwilling to completely abandon the previous wolf pack tactics.
Then it would be impossible to revert back to a typical Italian team.
At this stage of the season, they have no room for change and adjustment.
Besides, there is no need to risk surgery because of the depression of a game.
But it is necessary to find the root of the problem and strive for improvement.
