After a dangerous victory at home in the last round, Atalanta will then rush to Rome, the capital of Italy, to challenge the Roma team currently ranked second in the standings.

Facing the prestigious Roma team, the battle on April 15 will undoubtedly be very difficult, and the Stadio Olimpico is a famous devil's home stadium in Serie A. It may not be easy to escape from here.

Like the last game, Li Zhao will not come on as a substitute until the second half of this game, so he can still only be a spectator in the first half. Although Atlanta is slightly passive in the overall scene, it is really lucky.

In the 21st minute of the game, Kurtic received a pass from his teammate in front of the goal and then shot directly in front of the goal, making the visiting team the first to score.

Although they failed to get another chance to expand the score, Atlanta itself did a good job defensively and was able to maintain the lead until the end of the first half.

Just at the start of the second half, the situation on the field suddenly changed. The strong attack launched by Roma made it difficult for Atalanta to resist. In the 50th minute of the game, there was a serious leak in front of the goal, and Dzeko easily succeeded with a header.

, evened the score between the two teams in one fell swoop.

In view of this, coach Gasperini decided to let Li Zhao debut early after careful consideration.

Li Zhao has been of great help to Atlanta since he came on the field, and the most intuitive change is the further improvement in the team's offensive and defensive transition speed. Although his speed is not the fastest in the original Portuguese team, he is here.

But he is definitely considered outstanding; coupled with his extremely strong instantaneous explosive power, the moment he seizes the opportunity and runs, he will ride away in a hurry.

Of course, there will also be some problems. For example, under such a fast attack and defense, he and his teammates will occasionally be disconnected in connection, and this is also a process that must be experienced between each other, but in terms of the overall situation, it is

The impact is not big. Compared with this disadvantage, the benefit is more obvious, that is, the damage to the opponent's goal is greatly enhanced.

It is not easy for the Atalanta team to break through the opponent's goal, and the situation on the opponent's side is similar. Playing here is very different from Li Zhao's previous situation in Brazil. Serie A is known for its good defense, so it can be done

It's not surprising that the team has reached this point. Moreover, without the cooperation of familiar teammates around him, it further increases the difficulty of his offense.

It is obviously not easy to kill everyone like before in this level of league, but this does not stop Li Zhao from moving forward here. Only by breaking through more difficult leagues can his strength be further improved.

To improve, now that the spear in his hand has been sharpened, the next stage is to use it to test the best shield in the world. This is why Li Zhao puts Serie A as his first choice for joining Europe, and this is also

Xiaomi used a highly intelligent template to calculate the optimal solution.

While working hard to cooperate with his teammates, he continues to look for opportunities, and at the same time he is more actively involved in the team's defense. This is the biggest difference between Li Zhao and when he played in other leagues in the past, and it is also the new thing he is trying to make.

Breakthrough. Although it was unable to achieve more results for the time being, it successfully stabilized the front line. At least it ensured that one's side would not lose the ball as easily as before.

Seeing that time was gradually running out in the stalemate between the two teams, and it had quietly entered the 80th minute, Atlanta took advantage of an opportunity that was not an opportunity to score.

This was Li Zhao's sudden kick when he broke through to the edge of the penalty area, but he did not expect that the opponent's goalkeeper Szczesny would react so quickly, and he could actually block his tried and tested flying meteor.

The football that landed in the penalty area was controlled by the Roma defender closest to it. Originally, it seemed that the offensive should have ended here, but unexpectedly, he made a mistake in his subsequent pass, and he accidentally missed it.

On the way, he bumped into the feet of Li Zhao who was about to return.

Someone would give him a pillow when he wanted to doze off. Since he had this rare opportunity, he would not miss it. Li Zhao also simply kicked the flying fireball. This time Szczesny could not kill him.

If his bravery continues, he can only watch with regret as the football passes only half a centimeter away from his fingertips and turns into the goal behind him.

The Roma team did not want to end up with a defeat at home, so they quickly launched several counterattacks after losing the ball, and even used the last substitutions on the attack, but they were unable to make any progress in the remaining time.

There were some gains here, but in the end they had to accept the result of losing at home.

In the 33rd round of Serie A on April 22, Atlanta returned to home again to face the challenger Bologna. Different from the previous two games, Li Zhao finally started in this game.

The game was uneventful. Atlanta took a two-goal lead at the start but was a little careless. The opponent pulled a goal back shortly after the first half, and then conceded another goal in the 61st minute of the second half.

Bringing both sides back to the same starting line.

Fortunately, Atlanta made another effort later, scoring another goal in the 75th minute and stoppage time, setting the final score at 4-2. Li Zhao's performance in this game was also impressive.

It was remarkable, and he delivered a beautiful pass and a shot.

Just after playing three league games, Li Zhao had to return to Sao Paulo to complete his final studies and had to bid farewell to this season's Serie A ahead of time. Fortunately, even without him, the Atlanta team still struggled in the remaining few days of the season.

They performed steadily in the league and achieved a good record of two wins and three draws in five games, and two of the draws were the result of a strong home game against the Milan duo.

When the 2016-2017 Serie A season finally came to an end, Atalanta ranked fourth in the league with 76 points. Although they failed to qualify for the Champions League next season, they were able to get a spot in the Europa League.

The ticket is not bad, after all, this is the best result they have achieved after wandering in the middle and lower reaches of the league for many years.

When the Italian Serie A came to an end, Li Zhao, who was far away across the ocean, just spent more than a month of campus life at the University of Sao Paulo, and then after passing the final exam, he got his diploma as he wished. Now he can be regarded as having

This situation may not be unusual among foreign players, but it would be very special among current Chinese players. But no matter what, after completing his studies, Li Zhao finally had something to worry about.

From now on, I can focus on my career in a down-to-earth manner.

After the graduation celebration that day, Li Zhao, who was still wearing a bachelor's uniform and a bachelor's cap, went out with Dole Sa, Hu Xiaolin and Zhou Xiaoxia, who had also completed their studies. On the way, they called Li Ruolan and Laura.

The other girls in the house walked around the city of St. Paul together. Although this city is now very familiar to them, this visit to their old place made Li Zhaosheng feel reluctant to leave. From now on.
