Football: Banned for life, forced to travel to Europe

Chapter 277 Offside

Roma have one more league game to play before the second leg against Barcelona.They will sit at home and usher in the second Rome derby this season.

Lazio has been in a good state recently. After the winter window, they have been catching up, and they have surpassed Inter Milan and caught up to fifth place in the league.

However, there is a [-]-point gap between them and Roma, who is ranked third in the league. With eight rounds left in the league, Lazio only theoretically has the possibility of entering the Champions League next season.

Fourth place AC Milan is slightly better off, they are only nine points behind Roma...

Gonzalez gave up the Rome derby. Although they won Barcelona by two goals at home, it was Barcelona. AC Milan also won them two goals at home, but after arriving at Camp Nou, they lost four goals directly. Sareth dare not take it lightly.

In the Rome derby, Gonzalez sent a full bench.

Goalkeeper Stekelenberg, defenders Angel, Kjaer, Romagnoli and Evra; double midfielders Perotta and Taddei, midfielder Pjanic; left and right wingers Gaitan And Herman, the lone striker Jarrah.

With such a lineup, Lazio still failed to please, and the two sides fought to a 1-1 tie.Juventus and Naples have both won, and Roma is already three points behind these two teams.

But Gonzalez didn't care at all. After the game, he flew directly to Barcelona with the team to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Barcelona also attaches great importance to this game, and it is impossible to ignore it. For them, this is a battle of life and death.

In the No.30 round of La Liga, Vilanova also rotated many players, but the powerful Barcelona still defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at home and continued to maintain the league's lead over Real Madrid. Following this trend, Barcelona Winning the league championship has been secured.

Of course, Vilanova also wants to win the Champions League to prove that he is no worse than Guardiola, and he can do what Guardiola can do.

Before the game started, the Barcelona fans made a contribution first.

They ran to the hotel where they stayed in Rome and sang songs all night...

However, the Roma players are not beginners. They have already predicted the tricks of the Barcelona fans. They are still far behind the Italian fans. At least they did not set off fireworks...

The locker room at Camp Nou was well soundproofed. After closing the door, Vilanova began to make the final speech before the game, "Our opponents are very strong. You must realize this. Roma is the strongest we have encountered in the Champions League this season. The opponent is much stronger than AC Milan. The real Champions League will start from this time, so you have to go all out. I believe you are already very clear about the end of being proud and underestimating the enemy."

Vilanova attributed the defeat in the first round to the players underestimating the enemy. This was a psychological construction, so that everyone had the illusion that they underestimated the enemy to lose, thereby improving morale.

This also shows from another aspect that Vilanova has nothing to do. The team's defense is like that, and he can only talk about it.

However, Vilanova still made adjustments. He did not continue to let Mascherano, who was 1 meters, play as a central defender, but replaced Adriano, who was 74 meters, because Mascherano last round Injured against Athletic Bilbao...

It's not Vilanova's head iron, it's true that he has no one to use.Can Alexander Song and Bartra play central defender?Can't play, don't have the ability to know?

Seeing Barcelona's starting list, Gonzalez's mouth was about to smile crookedly. He was very satisfied with his trick of letting Yarmolenko start.

Alba and Alves are less than 1 meters tall, and Yarmolenko, who is 75 meters tall, can also dunk. This is another kind of twin towers...

From the first minute of this game, the whole Roma team seemed to have been beaten, putting great pressure on Barcelona.

This kind of pressure is not only reflected in the offense, but also in defense, Roma is also working very hard.They adhered to the tactics of the first round, deploying heavy troops in the midfield, De Jong defended Messi, Yarmolenko and Totti flanked at any time, and at the same time paid close attention to the movements of Butsquets.

In addition, Gonzalez repeatedly emphasized the defensive position. Except for De Jong, everyone else is not allowed to easily give up their position no matter how the Barcelona players pass and run.

This defensive method may be somewhat rigid and lacks flexibility.It may be problematic against other teams, but against Barcelona, ​​it is very suitable.

And in view of Roma's two-goal lead, Gonzalez also made a counterattack with a limited strategy. The specific implementation is that the counterattack depends on Totti, Wishing and Yarmolenko, and at most one Debrau Inside.

The two full-backs, Florenzi and Ben Davis, were not even in midfield, and they were defending behind, which made Barcelona very uncomfortable.

But just such three or four people made Barcelona's defense a little overwhelmed.

No.12 minutes, Messi's shot was under the pressure of Palin, he did not take the opportunity to delay the time, but got up and threw the ball forward, and made a wish to stop the ball with his chest.

Instead of passing the ball in a hurry, he leaned on Pique, observed his teammates' running positions, and when Butzquets ran over to steal the ball, he made a wish and passed the ball back to De Bruyne, De Bruyne He made a long pass without stopping the ball, and he aimed at Totti who changed to the right.

Wishing pushed Pique away, turned around and rushed towards the Barcelona penalty area. Pique didn't bother to complain to the referee, and ran with Wishing. Fortunately, he weighed less than Wishing, and his speed still had a slight advantage. When he didn't reach the penalty area , he has surpassed the wishing two positions, ready to turn around and defend.

At this time, Totti's pass came. He didn't mean to be extraordinary at all. He directly made a 45-degree pass.

Totti's ball was not looking for a wish, but Yarmolenko who was in the back. His opponent was Alves who was only 1 meters tall.

"Yarmolenko! Header... eh? Offside?"

Yarmolenko leaped high and overwhelmed Alves. His forehead was about to touch the ball. At this time, the referee's whistle sounded and Yarmolenko was offside.

Yarmolenko didn't hear the whistle, he still chose to head the goal, but Valdez didn't make a save at all. After the ball was scored, Yarmolenko was stunned for a moment, and then he knew that the referee called him Offside.

He was very surprised and angrily scolded the referee Moreno, "Alves is in front of me, why am I offside?"

Moreno's expression remained unchanged, his fingers were shaking back and forth a few times, "You returned from an offside position, and the linesman also raised the flag."

"Alves was always in front of me and that was a good goal."

Moreno didn't mean to continue explaining at all, but directly took out a yellow card to Yarmolenko.

Yarmolenko was even angrier, "Why did you give me a yellow card?"

"Because you were still shooting after being offside, you should have received a yellow card according to the rules."

"I @#￥%..." Yarmolenko roared, "I didn't hear any dog ​​X whistle at all!"

Totti made a wish to hold the furious Yarmolenko, and he went to communicate with the referee. Since the penalty has been made, it cannot be changed. He can only hope that the referee will see it more clearly in the subsequent penalty.

To make a wish is to notice something strange...
