Chapter 506: Rome's Counterattack
Updated: 2012-09-06
"Three to four, a score that is not shameful. However, Barcelona's winning streak hit Mallorca's devil's home court with a bloody head... Relying on the second score of new player Klose and the goals of Torres and Ram, Mallorca defended his honor at home and laughed to the end in an extremely exciting offensive game... After winning this game, although Mallorca's points were one point less than Barcelona, they showed their top offensive ability. Now Barcelona and Real Madrid have lost at their feet, and there are still several teams who can compete with Mallorca in the offensive?"
"In the previous round of the league, Mallorca was forced to zero to zero by Albacete, who could not defend, which made people begin to doubt whether Mallorca's offensive ability was greatly affected. However, in this game, they immediately showed a top-notch state, proving that no team can match their offense. The German striker Klose, who joined the summer, scored two goals in a row in the game, proving that he has the qualification to become Mallorca's main striker with Torres! The only thing that makes people worry is that Klose will sometimes be injured in the game. If he is injured, Van Persie and Guysa seem to be not enough to support the vacancy... Unlike last season, Torres can become a solid third fulcrum, making Mallorca's striker not afraid of lacking people at any time."
"Anyway, Mallorca's current state seems to have begun to recover. Mallorca, who has restored its offensive ability, is enough to make all teams frightened! Next, we may be worried about Roma. He was just sentenced to lose 0-3 in the first round of the group stage, and was suspended for three games at home, and will challenge Mallorca on the away game... This is not good news for Roma. Capello's departure at the beginning of the season made them lose their backbone, and at the same time he lost Samuel in the transfer market. This is also a huge blow to Roma's strength. This time he came to the San Mois Stadium, which is also a huge problem for them!"
Rome does look a bit unfavorable this year.
This summer, they first lost the meritorious coach Capello who led the team to win the league championship. Then Capello took away his direct line Zebina and Emerson, making the relationship between the two sides become incompatible. Samuel was poached by Real Madrid, goalkeeper Lupatli and midfielder Jigu went to Fiorentina. Three of the five players who left were absolute main players, and the remaining two were also main substitutes. In the transfer market, due to lack of funds, they only took back the defender Kufre and midfielder Aquilani who had expired on loan, and then introduced local midfielder Perotta from Chivo and bought defender Ferrari from Parma. Such filling can of course be considered as a waste of money. What's more, on the front line, the bad boy Casano also began to restlessly. In addition, with a series of things being sentenced to a loss at home, Roma who came to Mallorca can be regarded as a mourner.
Jose actually didn't take this Rome seriously. In his opinion, after entering the 21st century, Rome, which had only two stages, was the most powerful - the Rome led by Capello, played the smoothest football in Serie A, won the league championship and was always a strong contender for the Serie A championship. Next was the Rome led by Spaletti, which was the only competitor of Inter Milan after the phone door. After the phone door, he almost overturned Inter Milan to the ground several times. However, the Rome led by Voral, between these two Romes, can only be considered average...
And Mallorca is in good shape now, and it is not too difficult to win this Rome team.
If you win two consecutive victories in the first two games of the Champions League group stage, and then you will defeat Dynamo Kiev, who has average strength, in succession, then Mallorca's Champions League group stage will be very relaxed this time. You can just try other tactics and exercise substitutes who don't have many opportunities to play.
Since the beginning of this season, Jose has not rotated much. First, the main players have changed four, and the new main players need to be able to run-in with the team as soon as possible. Second, the season has just begun, and the main players have good physical fitness. When the running-in is almost done, it is easier to rotate.
However, during the training, Van Persie seemed to be a little worried. His training was completed with quality and quantity. However, he did not seem to have found the answer to the question that Jose asked him - what are your most special strengths? What are the strengths that others cannot compare with you? Van Persie has not found this answer...
Jose plans to hang Van Persie again. Since the beginning of this season, he has not allowed Van Persie to play for a minute. Every time there are games, he is sent to the second team to play. The depressed Van Persie performed very well in the second team, scoring goals almost every game, causing the clubs in the Spanish Second Division to protest. It is recommended that players who register for the first team are prohibited from playing in the second team to play in the league...
However, young players who cannot play as the main players in La Liga clubs have always been a feature of the Spanish league. The current regulations are nothing more than players older than 21 years old in the first team are not allowed to play in the second team mid-season after being declared as first team players. Van Persie is only 20 years old and is not prohibited by this range.
"In a few more days, then give him some advice." Jose said in his heart.
************************************************
After the game against Barcelona, Jose gave the players a day off and went to Balearic University to stay with Karin for a day - I'm not the kind of man I don't care if I get it - Jose thought to himself.
Karin was very happy to see Jose coming to accompany her, but Karin would go to watch the game on site every weekend in Mallorca's home game, and she didn't feel how far the distance between herself and Jose was.
"It's a pity that I can't go to the game in the middle of the week. There are a lot of classes in the school." Karin said to Jose regretfully, and then she laughed: "Don't let me down. If you lose the game once I don't go to the game, I'll feel very guilty."
"Don't worry." Jose laughed: "In my home court, no team has ever failed us!"
The confident Jose began to welcome the next game. His confidence was reasonable. Rome is not Rome a year or two ago. As a player, Volal was very top-notch, and being a coach may not be very outstanding. Faced with such a team, Jose felt that it was not difficult for him to win this game...
But what’s interesting is that he just sent off Rijkaard away at home and welcomed Voral at home. These two are also a pair of old enemies. In a German-Holland battle, Voral scolded Rijkaard a few words, and then Rijkaard vomited Voral's saliva all over his face...
"Since you two have a grudge, I can't favor one or the other..." Jose thought in his heart.
Jose did not make too many rotations in this game, but Ram first assisted and then returned to defense to defend for a long time. His physical energy was consumed quite a lot. Although he was young, he could not recover in the past few days. Another thing is that Iniesta also performed very well in the last game, and his physical energy consumption was also quite serious. Because he was worried that these two young players would be injured when they consumed more physically, Jose adjusted in these two positions, allowing Romero and Mendeta to start, and the other positions were the original players.
Roma also made fine adjustments to the starting lineup. Dras, who received a red card in the last game, was suspended. Voral sent Kufreira, who was originally playing left-back, to the center and Ferrari to partner with the center back. The left-back sent veteran Candela - Jose despised this because he felt that Voral would only substitute step by step...
Of course, his two rotations in this game were also step-by-step substitutions. Jose has his own explanation for this, because his rotation is active rotation, and the season has just begun, it is important to maintain a stable tactic and formation.
Roma's goalkeeper is Pelizoli, the right-back is veteran Panucci, and in the midfield, Perota, De Rossi and veteran Tomasi form the midfield, Mancini Jr. serves as the right forward, and the forward partner is Toti and the bad boy Casano, which is also Roma's main lineup this season.
"Beat them and lay the best result for the next Champions League group stage!" Jose said confidently before the game began.
*********************************************
"Oh! The ball scored! The goal was De Rossi! Just three minutes into the game, Roma led 1-0! It was amazing!"
The young De Rossi was running wildly on the court. He is another excellent product of Rome's youth training. In recent years, he has become the backbone of Rome and Italian midfielders. It was his first shot in front of the goal that opened the first record for Rome in the opening three minutes!
The Mallorca fans in the stands were a little dazed - they haven't seen their team start soon after they get behind... but they often see their team finishing goals in just a few minutes of the game...
At the beginning of the game, Mallorca completed an attack. Mendita's straight pass from the midfield almost made Torres a one-on-one strike. Pelizoli attacked in time to block Mallorca's offense. Then Roma launched a counterattack. Casano's straight pass almost made a one-on-one strike. Mattias, who was replaced, headed the ball out of the baseline in time. Roma took a tactical corner kick. Romero at the back point cleared the ball, and Cufre, who was assisted, made a cross to the penalty area. De Rossi shot in the penalty area!
"It's just a ball!" Jose yelled loudly on the sidelines: "Counterattack and hit them back!"
Mallorca's players immediately launched a counterattack after the kickoff. In a short while, Mallorca's attacking all eighteen martial arts were used, and they launched a siege against Rome!
Torres and Klose played two-for-one in a row, and then shot slightly out of the far corner at the front of the penalty area!
Kaka received a pass from Alonso outside the penalty area, and then shot a long-range shot from 28 meters away and was pounced under Pellizoli!
Macon made a long shot with an assist, but Torres in front of the goal planned to make up the ball but was only one step away!
Every attack from Mallorca can arouse huge cheers from Mallorca fans in the stands. They firmly believe that the team will win the score in the next second, but...
In the 21st minute, Roma completed a beautiful counterattack. Toti got the ball in the midfield and passed the diagonally. Perotta moved the instep to the middle. After following Casano received the ball, he cleverly missed Mex, who was caught off guard. After breaking into the penalty area, he suddenly pushed the ball and flew into the blind spot of the goal, 2-0!
"Damn, no!" Jose shouted in amazement!
