Chapter 143 I just can score goals!

Rome Olympic Stadium.

Roma's home match against Lecce has begun.

At the beginning of the game, both sides seemed to intend to make tentative attacks, so the game scene was not hot, the pace of the game was a bit slow, and the fans were a little drowsy.

Roma lost and draw in the first two rounds of the league, and the results were a mess. After the game, the team's coach Voral left, which had a great impact on Roma. Whether it was good or bad, Roma fans were very disappointed with Roma now, so there were only 25,000 fans who came to watch the game on site, which made the Olympic Stadium, which could accommodate 100,000 spectators, look deserted.

This seems to illustrate the situation in Rome.

Since the summer, Rome fans have been a little unfavorable to the team. Capello's departure has had a great impact on Rome. The coach left and the players have also left, leaving a mess, the club has a financial crisis again, etc. A series of reasons have caused Rome to have many problems. Rome fans are disappointed with Rome this season.

Most Roma fans only hope that the team's performance will not be too bad.

But when the league came, they were still disappointed. Roma's performance was too poor. Now Waller has left. What can Roma do without a head coach? This is really hard to imagine, so many Roman fans who bought season tickets did not come to watch the game on site, and they did not want to see the team lose the game.

Yes, in the eyes of Rome fans, winning the game is difficult.

The opponent is Lecce.

Lecce is not a strong team. This team has always been known for its uncertainty and has often just upgraded. It was relegated again in the following season.

After defeating Chievo in the last game of last season, Lecce became the fourth and last team to be promoted. Interestingly, head coach Sonetti was preparing to drink the celebration wine because it was his fourth time leading the team to advance to Serie A, but unexpectedly, he was fired by the club a few days later.

Lecce club chairman Moroni believes that Soneti is not competent to lead Lecce to Serie A.

When Lecce was relegated in the 1997-98 season, the coach was Sonetti.

Lecce's head coach is Zeman. Only two rounds of the league, Zeman has won Lecce fans. Not only because he allowed the team to play beautiful offensive football, but also his courage to fight against power. In the last round of the league, Lecce fans played a striking banner on the stadium, which read: "With Zeman, oppose the existing system."

Zeman is a former Rome coach, and most Rome fans still love Dazeman for the same reasons as Lecce fans. Famous Rome fan and singer Venditi said: "Zeman is a single-handed hero. Fight against power."

There is a history in this.

Zeman was a Juventus fan when he was young, but his criticism of Juventus' substance abuse when he was Roma's coach still made Juventus stand in the trial table in embarrassment. In the five difficult years after leaving Roma, Zeman coached in Fenerbahce, Naples, Salerno and Avilino, and made a comeback in Lecce this season.

Zeman did not achieve good results in Rome. What was particularly bad was that he had lost four games and four times in the Roman derby. He was eventually abandoned by club chairman Sensi.

Before the game started, Zeman said, "I was very sad about the ending of my adventure in Rome. I was expecting a different treatment, but such things are common in football. It takes habit."

Rome fans have not forgotten Zeman's contribution.

Zeman once suggested introducing Samuel and Montera and bought Cafo himself. In particular, let Toti really stand out, laying the foundation for Capello's later championship. On the other hand, Zeman has always had a good impression of Roma. Before the start of the season, people talked about the "three sisters" of the league championship contenders, AC Milan and Inter Milan. Zeman corrected: "Note, I think they are four sisters, and Roma also has the ability to win the championship."

Such a coach is popular among Rome fans when he comes to the Olympic Stadium.

Of course, friendship is friendship, game is game, and Roma fans also hope that Roma can win, but they are not optimistic about Roma. Although Lecce is just a promotional team, their results are one win and one draw, and even four-to-one defeats Brescia in the first game. Let's not talk about Roma's results for the time being, there are a lot of problems with the team. It would be nice to have a draw in the face of Lecce.

Roma fans are watching the ball with the hope of a draw.

This is a bit tragic... but the reality is so. Most media also see it this way. The situation between Rome and Lecce is completely opposite. There are a lot of problems with Rome, and Lecce is very united and has a rainbow momentum. Even if the overall strength is worse, the football game will always be about performance.

Everyone thinks this way, Ezio Sera may be a little smaller.

Sierra is only thirty-five years old...

He has been an assistant coach in Rome for only three years and was suddenly promoted to Rome's interim coach. Sierra is under a lot of pressure. Every time he comes to the training ground these days, he is full of attention. It can be seen that he has worked very hard.

Arrangement of training is still a simple task, and the most difficult thing is to deal with the competition.

Before the game started, Ezio Sela needed to think carefully about how to deal with Lecce. He had no experience and used to just follow the head coach. He just made some suggestions, such as which player is in good condition, which player is in average condition, etc. Now he needs to arrange the starting lineup, which is much more difficult.

Especially in the frontcourt...

Although Roma is in a difficult period, there are still stars in the frontcourt. Not to mention Toti and Casano, Zhang Tiehan and Montera are also strong. Although Montera is old, he is in very good shape. Last season, he was also Roma's No. 1 scorer. Zhang Tiehan transferred to Roma for 14.5 million euros. It can be seen in daily training that his shooting ability is the best in the team.

These four are all forwards.

But the forward position is limited, fortunately Toti is better at playing in the midfield, and Montera can also retreat and become a full-back, so Ezio Sela sent all four people on the court, and arranged a defensive midfielder Perotta. This way the offense should be guaranteed, but the defense is a bit stretched.

So Ezio Serra asked everyone to pay attention to defense.

It sounds simple, but the real arrangement of tactics is still very complicated. At the same time, Ezio Serra is under great pressure, but he still withstands the pressure and asks the team to do what he arranges.

What attracted the most attention was that Zhang Tiehan became the starter.

Many people are paying attention to Zhang Tiehan. After all, this game is the first time that Zhang Tiehan has participated in the game for Rome since he came to Rome, and he started at the Olympic Stadium. He should have played before, but Volar seems to believe Mido more, and Mido is two years older than Zhang Tiehan. The two are about the same height, and Mido also looks very strong. If it is to outsiders, Volar's choice seems to make sense, but Ezio Sera does not agree at all.

In his opinion, Woller was kicked by the donkey in the head, which made the clumsy Mido start!

Mido and Zhang Tiehan are similar in size. But Zhang Tiehan is obviously much more flexible than Mido. In daily training, Zhang Tiehan also showed that he was much stronger than Mido. Even in terms of tactics, Zhang Tiehan is still not inferior to Mido. Both of them are players who make a living by relying on their bodies. Mido and Zhang Tiehan are simply incomparable.

But letting Zhang Tiehan start the game still put Ezio Serra on a bit more pressure. After all, Zhang Tiehan has never played, so no one can be sure of what performance he can perform.

If Zhang Tiehan performs poorly, then Ezio Sera will also have to bear some responsibility.

"I hope he can make me feel more relaxed..." Sitting in the coaching seat, Ezio Sela looked at the figure of No. 13 on the court and thought to himself.

The game has been going on for ten minutes.

During the ten minutes of the game, Zhang Tiehan had no performance. He seemed to be lost in the frontcourt, and it was difficult to even see him take the ball. At first, the commentator of the Olympic Stadium would talk about Zhang Tiehan, but later, it was difficult to mention his name even if he passed the ball.

His performance was not very good.

This is Zhang Tiehan's first appearance. He has been running hard, but Roma's offensive is very slow, the pace is very slow, and the speed is also very slow. At the same time, during the continuous passing and receiving, it is difficult for Zhang Tiehan to receive the pass at the front of the team. He wants to retreat and get the ball, but the midfield does not need him at all. In the end, he still stands in front and waits for the opportunity.

Zhang Tiehan knew that he was not performing well.

He didn't get the ball in ten minutes, which proved this, but he was not discouraged and was prepared for it.

After all, it is Rome, not Wigan Athletics. Rome's offense is not about him alone. The core is Totti, and Casano is also in front. Montera and Mancini are very good on the wing, and he needs to wait for an opportunity.

In fact, cooperation is also his weakness.

For example, at the front of the team, it is often difficult for him to pass when he receives a pass. Under the dense defense of the opponent near the penalty area, it is not easy to pass flexibly. The opponent will not give him too much space. Moreover, Zhang Tiehan is not good at this. He will definitely choose to shoot if he has the chance.

The main thing is to have a chance, Zhang Tiehan has been waiting.

...

"It's been nearly fifteen minutes of the game, and neither team scored a goal, but the pace has gradually accelerated. Obviously, Roma intends to attack quickly, and the pass and receiving cooperation speed is also faster. They need to put pressure on their opponents."

"So far, Roma has only had one shot, a toe shot from Casano, and Lecce has two shots, but he has not hit the goal frame."

"The No. 13 Zhang, who started the game, has not performed much yet. It is difficult for us to notice him. I hope he can adapt to the game as soon as possible..."

The Olympic Stadium broadcast said.

The Roman fans in the audience heard the words on the radio and looked at Zhang Tiehan again. They knew that Zhang Tiehan was at the welcoming ceremony, and Zhang Tiehan performed the unique skills of eight-legged crossbars in succession, so fans all knew that Zhang Tiehan's shooting skills were very good, and they were still looking forward to Zhang Tiehan's performance.

But Zhang Tiehan's performance disappointed them a little.

Not only Zhang Tiehan, the performance of the entire Roma team was very sluggish, making continuous mistakes, and wasting time on offenses, and there were very few opportunities to create. Such performances looked really powerless.

On the contrary, Lecce feels very good.

Roma's poor performance is their chance. As a newly promoted team, they won and drew one in the first two rounds, and their results were quite good. Roma was their third opponent and the strongest of the three opponents. They all hope to defeat Roma.

After more than ten minutes of the game, they had a certain understanding of Rome.

Roma's more threatening players are Totti and Casano. Totti won't talk about it. Casano occasionally dribbles the ball. It's always very threatening. After breaking through, he will put the team in a dangerous state, and there will definitely be a little gap. This is Roma's way of creating threats.

So Lecce players have a tighter defense against Casano.

As for Zhang Tiehan?

This tall man... Lecce hasn't seen what Zhang Tiehan is for now. Many times, no one even passed the ball when he stood in the gap.

A tactical high center forward that attracts defense?

hehe.

...

Zhang Tiehan was standing in front of the penalty area with great pain, facing the opponent's central defender, while watching his teammate's attack. At this moment, he saw Mancini and Toti cooperated with two passes and receiving on the side. The football had reached the corner of the penalty area, and Mancini was desperately leading forward.

Zhang Tiehan became cautious.

He also met Mancini, a Brazilian player, with very good skills and very fast speed. Although he had just returned to Rome, his strength was recognized by many people.

What Zhang Tiehan knows is that Mancini usually chooses to cross when he dribbles the ball to the bottom line.

This is the opportunity he is waiting for!

"Mancini dribbled the ball and threw away the defensive player, he reached the bottom line!" the Olympic Stadium commentator shouted.

Roman fans were also excited, looking forward to what happened.

Mancini had also dribbled the ball to the bottom line before. At that time, he chose to break through and then passed the ball against the turf to Toti who was inserted, so this time Lecce defender hurriedly reminded, "Be careful of his breakthrough!"

At this time, Zhang Tiehan had already rushed towards the penalty area.

He squeezed the defender hard and stepped across the penalty area line. He turned to look at Mancini's movements.

Mancini was also observing the situation in the middle. When he saw Zhang Tiehan rushing into the penalty area, Toti and Casano also followed, he swung the ball and made a move to break through, which caused the defender in front of him to take a step back and pull out the pass space for himself. Then he hangs the ball into the penalty area without hesitation.

The football drew an arc and flew toward the center of the penalty area!

...

Here comes!

Zhang Tiehan had just crossed the penalty area line, and he squeezed the defender tightly to rush forward. Just as he saw the football hanging down, the position was right in front of him, he immediately showed an unconcealed smile on his face, and a little excited in his smile.

He knew the opportunity was coming!

He had been waiting for it for a long time, and was excited and shook his shoulders hard, squeezed the defensive player next to him away, and then he suddenly stepped forward and jumped high!

"Be careful of that tall guy!" Lecce goalkeeper Amelia hurriedly reminded his teammates, but Lecce defender who was defending Zhang Tiehan was hit hard just now and had no time to do anything, so he could only watch Zhang Tiehan jump in front of his eyes.

Accompanied by Amelia's shouts, Zhang Tiehan had already jumped into the air!

Very high, very high...
