Chapter 317 45. Main Battle of Rome 3

"Can you stop being so nagging?! He has been sent off!" Today's fourth official was Paparesta, who was old acquaintances with Hugo. Seeing Hugo's actions, he came over and said that the Roma staff over there stopped Cassano from rushing over to make trouble.

"I didn't say anything! I just admire his courage!" Hugo shrugged innocently and smiled evilly.

When Cassano was taken away, Paparesta said: "Your provocative behavior is not..."

"It's dishonorable, right?! It's immoral, right? It violates the spirit of sports, right?!" Hugo interrupted, "So what?! He doesn't deserve my respect! He is just a spoiled kid who doesn't have any skills, but has a bad temper!"

Hugo kept talking, and Paparesta smiled bitterly, shook his head, and walked away helplessly!

With one less player, Roma's situation is definitely not good, and Cassano's being sent off has greatly affected their mood. Their actions on the court are getting bigger and bigger, full of unfriendly. Originally, Trapani's players hoped to take advantage of the opponent's one less player to force an attack, but who knew that Roma used big moves to deal with their own side, and Trapani's players gradually got angry, and the game was no longer good.

De Santis' whistle sounded very frequently, and he couldn't play cards rashly at this time. After all, Roma was one less player. He was worried that continuing to play cards would further arouse the anger of Roma's players. If he didn't play cards for Roma's players, he would always be embarrassed to play cards for Trapani's players. He should treat them equally, right? Hugo is not so easy to deal with.

Capello just stomped his feet on the side of the court, and the head coaches of both sides were like dancing on the side of the court, constantly roaring, dissatisfied with a foul, dissatisfied with De Santis, and blurted out a sentence of dirty words.

It is normal for a head coach to curse. Who will usually hold him accountable, unless he curses too harshly?

De Santis decided to give the players a break today, but he was determined to teach the two head coaches a lesson. Soon, Capello and Hugo were warned by De Santis to stay in the coaching area and not to attack me verbally. If they continue, please go to the stands to enjoy the game!

The first half ended in complete chaos. The fight in the midfield was very fierce. Roma and Trapani both got the chance to score a set-piece, but neither side made good use of it and failed to score a goal, so the score ended at 0:0.

Even the midfield was not quiet. When leaving the field, Victor and Totti had a dispute. Totti accused Victor of deliberately provoking Cassano and then lying on the ground pretending to be dead. He ridiculed Victor as an ugly Sicilian.

Victor retorted and cursed Totti as a bitch from Rome. He was sure to have no good luck at the Barbera Stadium today!

The players from both sides seemed to have a big fight in the player channel. Finally, they separated under the persuasion of the referee team and the staff of both sides. In theory, De Santis still has the power to deal with this matter and give both sides a 50-point slap, but De Santis still did not do it. Instead, he sternly warned the players of both sides that it was game time and everyone should focus on the game instead of fighting each other.

Overall, the score of 0:0 is quite favorable for Trapani. Hugo estimated that the conservative Capello in the second half might have to focus all his energy on defense. Of course, there is no rule that there will be a chance of counterattack.

Trapani needs to score goals and attack, so Hugo told the players in the midfield that the team should attack in the second half, make full use of the advantage in numbers, play the advantages of the two wings, and increase the number of crosses.

"In the second half, take more control of the ball. Although their players are more experienced than us, the situation is different now. It can be seen that they are very angry with you, so don't be afraid. Continue to provoke them in the second half and make them suffer. I don't believe that De Santis will not play a card?!" Hugo gave the players a vicious trick.

Victor and Totti almost got in the way, but he was open-minded. When Hugo finished speaking, he immediately joined in and said that those Roma kids should be taught a lesson and everyone should play tougher.

The fifteen minutes of the halftime were about to end. Hugo walked out of the locker room to get some fresh air. Capello also walked out at the right time. Capello couldn't help but ridicule Hugo: "Mr. Colena, I didn't expect you guys to be so good at using tricks!"

"Tricks?! What tricks do we have?! It was my brother who suffered the loss. He was hit by Cassano and then got a yellow card innocently. Now you actually say that we are good at using tricks! Well, I am really ashamed of your ability to confuse right and wrong!" Hugo choked up.

"Victor Colena is clearly acting! Maybe he should go into the film and television industry!" Capello said angrily.

"You are the ones who should go to the acting department. You have been committing fouls all the time! Is this playing football?! Our games are broadcast live to fans all over the world. Do you play football like this?! I really can't praise someone's coaching ability!" Hugo gradually began to attack Capello himself.

The two people's quarrel became louder and louder. Finally, the coaches of both sides heard the noise and came out to persuade them to stop. Hugo shook his hands and walked straight out of the player tunnel, cursing in his heart. It would be best if Trapani won the game today so that I can have a good time after the game.

Only after winning the game can I have the confidence to speak!

The game officially started with a whistle from DeSantis. As expected, Capello was obviously more conservative. There was no adjustment in personnel, but his purpose was to defend. For those who wanted to compete with Milan In fact, Roma cannot afford to lose a single point. With one player missing, it is a good choice to settle for the second best and gain a point.

As long as you are familiar with Capello's style and Roma's situation, it is actually not difficult to analyze it, but if you think Roma has no threat, you are wrong. After all, Roma still has many strong players, especially Totti, this guy's long-range shot His skills are quite impressive, but once he gets space, the consequences will be very troublesome. This is the role of a star.

Roma's defensive strategy is very simple. They defend hard and never let their feet go soft. But DeSantis is not the DeSantis he was in the first half. Maybe he felt too relaxed in the first half. It didn’t take long for Mascherano from Trapani and Tomasi from Roma to receive yellow cards one after another. In fact, these two fouls could not be called very violent, but DeSantis just wanted to show his cards. Warning to everyone.

After severe punishment, the immediate actions of both sides were much smaller. After all, it is not that fun to lose one person. It is impossible to be angry when playing football. In this era, scoring points is the king.

Hugo from Trapani said that he would try to anger the Roma players, but the Roma players were not fooled. They always controlled their emotions and concentrated on defense.

Roma's passivity on the court made the fans at the Barbera Stadium boo. It's not that Roma didn't try to attack, but it was because they had no way to send the ball to the frontcourt. Trapani also didn't engage in high-post presses and lost the ball in the frontcourt. In possession of the ball, Trapani focused their defense on the midfield and retreated quickly. What is rare is that they rarely made mistakes during the transition between offense and defense. The space left for Roma in the midfield and backfield was too small.

Totti also played very frustrated. In the 56th minute, he finally got the ball and there was a gap. Totti did not hesitate to take a long shot from 40 meters away from the goal. To say that the quality was still Yes, it looked like a very casual kick, but it almost hit the careless Kameni. Fortunately, the direction of the ball was still a little wrong, and it missed the goal post.

"Hush..." There were harsh boos in the stadium, and the fans loudly laughed at Totti's shot as if to vent his anger!

Hugo quickly issued another request, asking the players to press high and even plan to give Roma space in the frontcourt. In fact, they were taking risks. Of course, a coach who does not know how to take risks must not be a good coach. The greater the risk, the greater the reward!

Then in the 70th minute, Trapani still couldn't find any good opportunities to score. The partnership of Toni and Klose rarely even had the opportunity to face the goal directly. The strength of Roma's defense was evident. Hugo's midfield planning was not good. It failed to come true. Hugo discussed it with the coaching staff at this time and decided to make a substitution. He replaced Peluso and brought on Ribery. It was time to play 433.

Roma actually has no forward now. Totti's position is more like a midfielder. He is a player who is more accustomed to receiving the ball. Roma has been unable to get the ball to his feet, so he can only keep returning to the midfield to respond. Therefore, in fact, Trapani's three central defenders at least look a bit wasteful now. This is the main factor why Trapani's coaching staff decided to play 433.

After Ribery came on the field, he brought great improvements to Trapani's offense. During this period, Ribery's training attitude was very good, and the progress he made was obvious. Although he is not a top player yet, he He came on today with the task of "passing every Roma player who faces you" and caused a lot of trouble for Roma.

Ribery's combination of man and ball is very good. He has a better sense of the ball than Evra. Evra's dribbling is too simple and rough. It may be good against a loose formation, but it is obviously not good against a dense formation. impossible.
