After the game started, the fighting between the two sides became more intense, and situations where people fell on their backs often happened.
Physical contact is a common occurrence on the court.
But if anyone observes carefully, they will find that the young Lazio is not at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation.
In some cases, each player has a fifty-fifty chance. Both sides try their best, but Lazio often wins in the end.
This virtually increases Lazio's offensive opportunities and makes Lazio's goal safer.
Lazio's toughness also surprised Roma.
They never expected that their players would not be able to beat Lazio in a physical confrontation!
Tomasi even bumped into Melo on purpose, causing him to fall to the ground. Melo swayed and stumbled, but he controlled the football and did not lose the ball.
Mello looked at Tomasi who fell to the ground, feeling a little proud.
He feels that his physical resistance has been greatly improved compared to before.
But Melo didn't expect that this confrontation success rate was not his fault, or not the main credit.
The main contribution is that he always wins.
Before this game, Chang Sheng fully took into account the special nature of the Rome Derby.
This game must have extremely high requirements for physical confrontation.
It is common for people to flip over during competitions.
The referee will also relax the penalty scale appropriately, and some less serious fouls may not be whistled.
At this time, it is unreliable to expect the referee to uphold justice for you, so just trust yourself.
So among the competition skills that Chang Sheng arranged before the game, he put the physical confrontation skill [Iron Warrior] first.
[Iron Warrior] is an upgraded version of [Iron Man]. In physical confrontation, the chance of winning by our players increases by 8%, but the chance of winning cards increases by 2%. It requires 400 energy points.
The 2% card winning rate is not considered at all.
Compared with the 8% success rate in physical confrontation, it is nothing to mention.
And because it is a Rome derby, the referee will consider it when issuing cards, and will not issue cards for all actions.
Although he played too many cards in the end, it was because there were too many fouls...
The Rome Derby is not a normal game, and it will not work to treat this game with normal game strategies.
This game was destined to be a foul that was not listened to. The whistle was blown for a timeout, the game continued, another foul was committed, and another timeout... it couldn't flow smoothly at all.
Therefore, Chang Sheng fully considered the particularity of this game when selecting skills.
The three competition skills are [Iron Warrior], [Control the landing point] and [Precision Strike].
[Iron Warrior] has already said it.
[Control the landing point] is an offensive skill. It mainly increases the success rate of our players to master the second landing point by 10% during the attack. It requires 400 energy points.
This skill was chosen because of the particularity of this game. Too much physical confrontation makes it difficult for players to catch the football in the first place. The first point must be grabbed by both sides with all their strength. At this time, you can
It's good to grab it, don't try to control the landing point at all. At this time, the second landing point becomes particularly important. Whoever can control the second landing point can take the initiative.
This is the same as the saying on the basketball court: "Whoever controls the rebound takes the initiative."
The defensive side got the second point. Not only did they successfully prevent the opponent's attack, they were also able to organize a counterattack to catch the opponent off guard.
Once the offensive team controls the second landing point, they can launch another attack and even directly threaten the opponent's goal.
This is the advantage of the second landing point.
The third skill is [Precision Strike], which once played an important role in the game against AC Milan. Because the game is unlikely to be very coherent, if you want to keep passing the football into the opponent
The goal is obviously a wishful thinking. Roma will not watch Lazio playing with themselves in front of them. Maybe after only three passes, Roma will directly foul.
David Silva's goal was due to a quick free kick that caught Roma off guard. This experience cannot be replicated. In the next games, Roma will definitely pay great attention to preventing Lazio's quick free kick.
Tactical.
In this case, if you want to score goals, long-range shots become an important means.
[Precision Strike] can improve the hit rate of long-range shots.
With these three skills, Chang Sheng does not believe that his team will lose again.
At least against Roma, it's impossible to lose.
If you can lose with tough physical confrontation, skillful passing and control, and high fighting spirit, then there is no justice in the world.
※※※
The game continued, and after Roma was unable to take advantage of the physical confrontation, the initiative in the game gradually shifted to Lazio.
Rome also found out, and they were increasingly at a disadvantage. They tried to prevent this.
But they can't compete with physical confrontation. Their ball possession rate is not as good as the opponent's, so what else can they compete with Lazio?
No.
Prandelli stood on the sidelines, staring at the court and biting his lower lip.
He was thinking hard about countermeasures, but unfortunately there was no one.
Really not.
Neither soft nor hard will work.
Prandelli suddenly felt tired.
How do you fight against such an opponent?
At the same time, he was also secretly surprised.
When Chang Sheng was in Roma, he did not allow Roma to show such an ability. Although there was a prototype, the performance was often unstable.
The Roma players were very resistant to his tactics because the requirements for physical fitness and running ability were too high. He required everyone to keep running and make sacrifices and contributions to the whole.
Some players in the Roma team quit.
If the players don't work hard, no matter how good the tactics are, they won't be able to be executed.
But this problem does not exist at Lazio. Lotito sold out those who were dissatisfied. The players he bought were all requested by Chang Sheng. They can be regarded as Chang Sheng's confidants. They will do whatever Chang Sheng says.
In addition, young players don’t have much honor. They are very thirsty for honor. If they heard that they can win, then naturally let them do whatever they want.
So the tactics that had previously only existed in Chang Sheng's mind and on the team's tactical board were turned into reality.
Breathtaking...
Lazio players used their physical advantages and control of the second position to grab the football. Then they used their excellent passing and ball control abilities to firmly control the football at their feet.
Unless the Roma team commits a foul, it is really difficult to win the ball away.
The initiative of the game thus fell into the hands of Lazio. Roma could only struggle behind them and could not grab the football.
In the end, they became so angry that they could only foul.
It is a pity that there is no free kick master in this Lazio team, otherwise there would be no suspense in the first half of this game.
But in fact, even if this is the case, from Chang Sheng's point of view, Roma has nothing to struggle with in this game.
He was fully prepared, and he had the determination to win and the burning fire of revenge.
Compared with myself, what does Rome have?
No shit!
He wants Sensi and Baldini to take a good look at how their teams were slaughtered on the podium!
Chang Sheng stood up from his seat and walked to the sidelines.
It's time.
At first, everyone in Roma disagreed with his training plan and felt that training too much on physical fitness was useless.
For this reason, the team in the locker room led to his final dismissal from get out of class.
Let them regret this now.
Let them know the importance of physical fitness in modern football!
Maybe then, they will regret why they didn't practice physical fitness with them in the first place!
He gestured towards the Lazio players on the pitch.
This gesture can only be understood by Lazio players.
That's the signal for them to speed up.
Increase speed, increase both running speed and passing speed.
Now that you have control of the ball, you should be able to do this.
Take Roma and run wildly with you, and then when Roma is exhausted, it’s time to let Lazio slaughter you!
Lazio was like a sports car. The engine started roaring, and when Chang Sheng released the handbrake, it shot out like an arrow!
The speed increased instantly!
But after the initial shock and thrill, Rome realized that the rhythm was different!
Follow or not?
Don’t follow? If you don’t follow, you almost lost the ball.
So I have to follow...
Follow me!
Roma gritted his teeth and speeded up.
The pace of the game suddenly accelerated, and the neutral fans felt that the scene was much better.
But Prandelli's brows became more and more frowned.
He smelled danger in this speed.
It's just that he can't do anything.
Let Rome not follow?
Then there is no chance.
Just like that, Roma was already one goal behind. If they couldn't find a way to snatch the football away and regain the initiative in their own hands, the rest of the game would be difficult to play.
Besides, this is a Rome derby, and there is no team that gives in in a Rome derby. If the opponent issues a challenge, Roma will definitely follow it. If they don’t follow, they will be a coward, and they will be laughed at by Lazio, which will make Roma fans dissatisfied.
So even if he knew that the situation would be bad if he continued like this, Prandelli could only acquiesce to the team's current performance.
※※※
At the 40th minute, there are only five minutes left in the first half.
Rome was a little more relaxed.
After conceding that goal, they never conceded a goal, and they felt that their defense was good.
Although it was a bit hard to play.
Because after losing the ball, they always felt that the initiative was not on their side. In order to regain the initiative, they tried every means, even fouling.
It's a pity it's useless.
They were still running after Lazio, as tired as dogs.
Because they were too tired, their speed finally slowed down.
The Roma players felt powerless looking at the Lazio players who were still running, sprinting, and passing the ball back and forth.
You must know that Lazio just kept a fast pace and ran for more than 20 minutes!
Who can bear to run down here in one breath?
Rome couldn't stand it anymore.
I really can't run anymore.
If they keep running like this, they feel like they won't have to play in the second half.
They can't run anymore, but Lazio can still!
After another rapid running pass, Lazio saw that Roma could no longer react. Melo suddenly made a through kick!
Liverani did not take the ball, but turned around and let the football pass!
The ball just landed at Rocky's feet.
And Rocky caught the football right on the line of the penalty area!
"This is...Rocky! Opportunity!!!"
Due to the continuous high-intensity running, the reaction speed of Roma players has been greatly reduced. Even if they saw Rocky, their bodies would not be able to react immediately.
So I could only watch as Rocky received the ball on the line of the penalty area, then turned around and swung the ball into the penalty area!
The Roma fans at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome stared at Rocky's figure with their eyes widened in horror.
They seem to have seen a terrible future - if they fall behind by two goals in the first half, it will be nothing more than a slap in the face!
