Chapter 145 Simple, Rough!
Zhang Tiehan was stared at by Lecce very much. He knew that relying on ground passes, it was very difficult to catch the ball, but it was impossible to pass a high-altitude ball at a short distance. Under such a defense, it was very difficult to find an opportunity.
So Zhang Tiehan retreated.
He retreated and got the ball, with the purpose of finding opportunities. Opportunities are actually very simple for him, and then shot... Yes, that's it. Lecce never thought that Zhang Tiehan would kick off at a distance of 30 meters away, and it would be difficult for them to deal with that position.
It's a pity that the ball didn't score.
But Zhang Tiehan thought about how to deal with Lecce's defense. He could retreat and get the ball, then take a kick, or wait for his teammates to pass the ball at a high altitude in the penalty area. I won't talk about the former, but the latter is like the traditional English football style of playing - long passes and rushing, hanging the ball from a distance. No matter how good the Lecce players stand in the middle, those are ignored by football in the air.
These are two ways he can think of.
He and his teammates couldn't say this. His Italian language was not very good. He could only use gestures to tell them how to pass the ball to himself. He shot with a shot to give his teammates confidence and told them--as long as they pass the ball to me, they would likely score a goal!
If professionals who advocate Italian chain defense system know Zhang Tiehan’s thoughts, they will definitely be angry - simple and rough!
However, these two methods are indeed simple and rough... No matter how good the defensive consciousness of Lecce players is, when football flies over, they always have to compete for the ball. As long as they compete for the ball, they will fight for personal abilities, not defense consciousness.
This is Zhang Tiehan's advantage.
...
Lecce players didn't know what Zhang Tiehan was thinking. They were still surprised at the shot just now, which was at least thirty meters away from the goal. If they could score, it would definitely be a "legendary" world wave... Think about it, the middle circle is only more than fifty meters away from the goal, and the distance of thirty meters is too far, so it can be determined that it is a safe distance, but after looking at this shot, they felt that thirty meters was not safe anymore.
Dangerous... very dangerous!
Recalling the shot just now, Lecce players felt cold in their hearts. It was really scary. If goalkeeper Amelia hadn't reacted quickly and saved the ball with a slight difference, they would have fallen behind two goals.
Two goals behind in the first half... that was almost unimaginable!
In the Italian League One, everyone knows what 2-0 means. Even if AC Milan, the strongest now, is two goals behind Lecce. They have no confidence to say that they can recover, let alone Lecce is behind Roma. They almost sentenced them to death. There is a saying that the death penalty can be suspended, but if you want to say that they can get freedom directly, dear, do you think someone will rob the prison?
At the same time, the fans of Rome were also very surprised, but they were even more excited!
The new young players are very good at long-range shooting, and they will know at the welcome ceremony. But they don’t know how good they are. After all, Zhang Tiehan demonstrated that the ball was on the penalty area line, and that position was only sixteen meters away from the goal.
But now it's thirty meters...
Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary professional players will shoot at this position. When the football reaches the goal, there will be no strength, let alone threats, but Zhang Tiehan can make the football strong, that is, the distance is too far, and the opponent's goalkeeper reacts. But this also proves his excellent long-range shooting ability - he has monster-like power and excellent shooting skills. Not to mention the whole world, but it is certain that he is definitely top in the Italian league.
If you use one word to describe the mood of Rome fans, it is surprise!
Very surprised!
Next they all know what to do.
Whenever they saw the No. 13 figure in the stadium pick up the ball, they began to shout excitedly, and they were looking forward to Zhang Tiehan's next shot in this way.
...
In the following game, Roma attacked frequently, and the threat of attacks increased. Relying on attacks again and again, they took the initiative in the game.
Roma's offensive cooperation was very smooth before, but this kind of smooth cooperation was difficult to break through Lecce's defense. Now they play more easily, especially in the frontcourt, they always pass the ball into the penalty area. If they can't pass it in the penalty area, they will kick the ball from the periphery if they have the chance. They are like they have found the backbone, and they will kick the ball in the direction of Zhang Tiehan when they find the opportunity.
This simple attack is actually very effective.
Zhang Tiehan's first choice for the ball is always shot, but when he can't find a chance, he will pass the ball out. Most of the time, he has no chance. There is always Lecce players around him. After receiving the pass, it is difficult to even have space to kick the ball. Casano also got two opportunities. Once, when he was on a high-altitude ball, he flexibly used his actions to deceive the defending players and hooked the ball under his feet to complete a threatening push shot.
"Zhang! Beautiful job!" Although there was no goal, Casano still gave Zhang Tiehan a thumbs up.
Zhang Tiehan passed the ball just now to a good position, and Casano only had one defensive player. In this case, he had the opportunity to show his footwork in front of the goal and almost scored the ball.
Zhang Tiehan could only smile bitterly.
Lecce's defense is getting tighter and tighter, and it is difficult for him to find a good opportunity. Most of the time, football flies from the air and he can only pass the ball to his teammates with his head.
However, this deepened his cooperation with his teammates.
After a few times, he knew how to pass the ball, but with a good chance, he would definitely choose to shoot. Before the end of the first half, Zhang Tiehan completed four shots in total, scoring two goals, and the other two shots were completed later. These two shots were not very threatening, but Zhang Tiehan was able to complete two shots with such strict defense on the other side, and every shot he made Lecce nervous.
During the halftime break, Ezio Serra boosted morale and told the players to continue playing like this in the second half, and asked them to pass more balls to Zhang Tiehan.
Zhang Tiehan's performance made Ezio Serrazhen breathe a long sigh.
He temporarily became the head coach of Rome. Ezio Serra was under too much pressure. He was just an ordinary assistant coach. He was only thirty-five years old and suddenly became the head coach of Rome. This made him not mentally prepared. He only knew that Zhang Tiehan was in good condition, had good training performance, and had good personal abilities, so he let Zhang Tiehan start.
The media made many doubts before the game.
But Zhang Tiehan is performing well now, so he can breathe a long sigh. At least he has not used people inappropriately. Perhaps the fans will praise him for being aware of people and being much better than Waller... Of course, Ezio Sela still knows that he cannot compare with Waller. After all, Waller is a famous European coach, and he is just a rookie in the coaching industry and cannot fully compete with the head coach position.
Ezio Sera knew that he was just an interim coach, and Roma would finalize a new coach in a few days.
Even so, Ezio Serra wants to prove his ability. In the coaching industry, he is still very young, and many coaches are still players at his age. If Roma can achieve good results during his short acting coaching period, it will play a significant role in his future development.
After the first half, he also realized that the best team in the team was Zhang Tiehan, and Zhang Tiehan had limited roles in regular offense and had not truly integrated into the team's tactical system. However, his personal abilities are outstanding and few players can compare with him. If you find a way to pass the ball to him, Roma's offense will be very threatening.
Everything is that simple.
In contrast, Rome's regular advancement is difficult to break Lecce's defense. Choosing to believe in Zhang Tiehan is an stake for Ezio Serra. If you win, Zhang Tiehan will be recognized by Rome fans, and he also successfully completed the task.
Lost... Actually, that's nothing, it's just a failure.
In any case, he is just an assistant coach. No matter how good he is in Roma's grades, he will not continue to sit in this position in a few days.
...
After the second half of the game began, Roma continued to maintain his offensive.
Roman players' passes are more determined, such as Totti, such as Mancini, Perotta, Montera and others, who will pass the ball to Zhang Tiehan if they have the chance, seem to have firmly determined their way of playing in the second half of the first half.
It seems that Zhang Tiehan seems to have become the core.
In fact, it is not the case.
The core of Roma has always been Totti, and Totti is responsible for organizing the offense. It can be said that before shooting, the tactics have been revolving around Totti. He led the entire team's offense. He dominated Roma's offense, but in the final shot, they must choose a point, and Zhang Tiehan's point became the best choice. Totti is the core, but he is not a striker, not a real shooter. He is better at cooperating with his teammates to complete the attack. In fact, the same is true. Totti's scored not the most goals in Roma every season. For example, last season, Totti's goals were only ranked third, and Roma's first scorer was Montera. He scored twenty-three goals in a single season.
Now the Roman players are playing with Zhang Tiehan as the final offensive point. They were still pushing forward and cooperating with the attack before, but when they found it difficult to move forward, they would choose to find Zhang Tiehan's position and try to pass the ball over.
This is true every attack.
This way of playing seems to have reduced Roma's conceding goals a lot, because they will not risk cooperation to break through Lecce's defense, but it is difficult to score in, so they use long passes. In addition, sometimes Zhang Tiehan will retreat to get the ball, and their turnover rate is greatly reduced before the goal is approaching.
Of course, Zhang Tiehan is under great pressure at the same time.
Half of the conceded the ball was on him, and the Roma players seemed to transfer all the pressure to him, but Zhang Tiehan enjoyed this pressure very much. With the continuous support from his teammates, he played very actively in the frontcourt. His occasional shot always made Lecce players panic.
Facing Roma's simple and direct attacks again and again, Lecce's players played very passively, and they even wanted to curse themselves in anger. The more important thing is that they tightly blocked the penalty area and had no effect in front of Roma's attack.
No matter how good their defensive position is, football always flies through the air, and they have no choice.
Some senior fans, commentators, and reporters also saw the situation of the game. At the beginning of the first half, Zhang Tiehan was defensive and Roma's offense was difficult to break through Lecce's defense. But now Roma has changed his offensive method. They do not pursue a series of chamfers and cooperate to pass the ball into the penalty area. Instead, they use long passes and high hangings and long shots to try to score.
This method is...it's really simple and rough.
But it is very useful!
At least Lecce had no choice. Their players were completely stunned by repeated attacks. Sometimes they stood in front of the penalty area and saw the Roman players kicking, but did not even defend. Instead, they retreated to the penalty area to stop Zhang Tiehan, Casano, and Roma players took the opportunity to lead two more steps forward, or pass the ball to a better and more suitable position. As a result, Lecce was completely disrupted.
Lecce coach Zeman stood on the sidelines, his face full of anxiety, but he could do nothing.
He is not the kind of head coach who is good at adapting, otherwise he would not have experienced a failed memory in Rome. He also has some good things, such as digging out some young people and accurately judging his abilities based on the performance of a player, etc. These are what Zeman is good at, so during his time as head coach in Rome, he brought many outstanding players to Rome.
But now Lecce is in trouble, Zeman can't think of any way to deal with it for a while, so he can only help the players strengthen their defense against Zhang Tiehan.
But it's not on the field.
Roma has eleven players, and even in the frontcourt there are excellent players such as Casano, Toti, Montera, Mancini, etc. They have to guard each of them, and pay attention to each one. It is good to be able to separate two people to defend Zhang Tiehan. Sometimes, in order not to miss people, one of them has to make up for defense. Zeman's idea is good, but it is difficult for Lecce players to do well.
Under such circumstances, Rome's kicks are getting smoother and smoother.
In the 71st minute, taking advantage of a Lecce player's mistake, Zhang Tiehan received a pass in front of the penalty area, and then flicked it, and then took the ball directly. The position of the ball was very close and the ball was very fast. Lecce goalkeeper Amelia's vision was blocked and he had no time to react. He could only watch the ball flew past his hand and was powerless.
The moment the football flew into the goal, all the fans of Rome shouted excitedly.
After reporting the goal, Cergar continued to say, "...Far from Zhang! He scored the second goal for Roma, and he scored twice! In this game, I think our biggest gain was to see Zhang's performance. He did not lose 14.5 million euros in his net worth. He used two goals to make Roma's choice!"
"Ezio Sera's choice is also correct. Before, Woller didn't even let Zhang appear, and he didn't even have a substitute position. Ezio Sera chose Zhang, he asked Zhang to start, and Zhang also returned Sira's trust with two goals!"
"Until now, I think no one will question Zhang anymore. His goals are so beautiful! Two goals, one header and the other long shot, are all very clean and eye-catching..."
Chapter completed!
