Chapter 165 Shame
In the UEFA Champions League, the group stage is home and away, and the first, second, third and fourth place are divided according to the points system. This competition system is quite proof. The top two of the four teams can advance to the knockout stage, and the third place can be reduced to the League Cup to participate in the final round. As long as it does not fall to the last place, there will be European competitions to play.
But now the League Cup is no longer the world's top event. All teams participating in the European Champions League hope to advance to the Champions League knockout stage. In the eyes of many small teams, even if they fall to the quarterfinals, they will be stronger than a League Cup trophy.
This is linked to the benefits of the event.
In the Champions League, especially in the knockout stage, each game can earn millions of euros. That is to say, as long as you participate in one more UEFA event, the team will earn millions more. The specific number depends on the final share. However, according to UEFA's estimate in August, the Champions League revenue this season will reach US$950 million, which is 29% more than last season, and will not be affected by the economic environment.
Each team that qualifies for the group stage will receive an $8 million entry fee. At the same time, based on the results of the six games, they will also receive another part of the event rewards, such as a group stage victory that can earn $950,000 from UEFA. The final Champions Cup winner will receive an additional $10.8 million in the championship reward, and the runner-up will also receive $5.9 million.
In this way, if a team wins all six group matches, enters the knockout stage, and wins the final championship, the club will earn more than $35 million in total, which does not include the benefits brought by the television broadcast rights.
The Champions League in the new season is expected to earn $381 million in global television rights, up 40 million from last year. Last season, Real Madrid was the club that benefited the most from the television rights, with a total revenue of $25.6 million, and Premier League teams often occupy the big head in this regard, as the Premier League's television broadcast fees have been the largest in the world in recent years.
As a result, you can imagine how important it is to participate in the UEFA Champions League.
As long as they can participate in the UEFA Champions League, no matter what the results are, a team can earn more than tens of millions of dollars. If they can achieve good results or even win the final championship, they can earn tens of millions of dollars more in a single season. These income figures are very considerable for a football club, even for giant teams such as Barcelona and AC Milan.
So no matter how bad the results are, Roma cannot give up the Champions League. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Derrinel will lead the team to do its best to qualify in the group.
But the group format is indeed very serious.
If Roma wants to qualify, his points must exceed one of Real Madrid or Dynamo Kiev. So not only do they have to win, but they also have to expect their opponents to lose. In the next round, they must ensure victory, and there are three rounds left, and they must win two rounds before they have a chance.
Thinking about the current situation, even if you beat Leverkusen, there is really nothing to be happy about.
...
However, the above are all things that Drinel and Rome clubs need to worry about. For the Roman media and fans, defeating Leverkusen is worth celebrating.
The next day, many media reported on the game.
Media outside Rome, such as the representative "Milan Sports" and "Turin Sports" praised Zhang Tiehan's performance, which he scored a hat trick in the game and became the best player in the game. If he didn't watch the game, he would only think that he scored three goals, that's all, but after watching the game, he would find that Zhang Tiehan's role is more than just scoring goals.
Roma played very passively in the first half.
Just like the reporter of Leverkusen asked Zhang Tiehan, 'Is the game easy?', it's not easy, it's really not easy. Leverkusen completely suppressed Roma in the first half, but in that case, Zhang Tiehan helped Roma take the lead, and his second goal defeated Leverkusen, who was at home.
"His performance dominated the end of the game." This is a comment from "Sports Milan".
The Turin Sports Daily also praised Zhang Tiehan, but while praising Rome, they did not forget to mock Rome. After all, the two teams of Rome City have always been Juventus' opponents, 'He is the only highlight of Rome now', they said this in their news report.
Finally, they reminded Juventus to pay attention to this young man who was under twenty years old, and that the best way to defend him is to bring him all to Turin, and they suggested.
It is said that there are many Roman fans who support Zhang Tiehan. After reading the Turin Sports News, they decided not to order this newspaper again.
In contrast, in the reports of local media in Rome, the comments on Zhang Tiehan are a bit "short". They have little praise for Zhang Tiehan, and most of them are just reporting on the game. The focus is on Montera, who scored a goal in his game. They said, "The 'little plane' is still in shape, and he will continue to maintain his competitiveness against the Italian Golden Boot."
As for Zhang Tiehan?
"He scored three goals for Roma."
"He completed the hat trick."
"The performance is pretty good, but it is inseparable from Totti's support. Totti's exquisite pass can always pose a considerable threat to the opponent, and it is no loss to be the 'Prince of Rome'."
This is the comment related to Zhang Tiehan.
Overall, the Roman media's reports on Zhang Tiehan are like a young wife talking to men at home and outside the home, and they always have some concealment. They talked about the game and said that Zhang Tiehan scored three goals, but they did not praise his performance. They just introduced, introduced, and introduced. On the contrary, Toti, Montera, and even Dagostino, who had only appeared on the bench for ten minutes, were praised, and only Zhang Tiehan, who performed the best, did not.
It felt like he was halfway through his words, "Ah! He scored three goals...", and then, nothing more.
They used more layouts to introduce Roma's qualifying situation in the Champions League, and also introduced AC Milan and Juventus' qualifying situation, as well as various analyses of Roma in the league. In short, they just didn't make any comments on Zhang Tiehan's performance.
This is strange to Rome fans.
Even they know that the Roman media likes to praise their players. Whether it is Lazio or Rome, as long as there are players who perform well, the Roman media will criticize them. As fans, they also like to see these reports and look forward to the players in the reports performing better and better, leading the team to perform better and better, but now Zhang Tiehan performs so well. These Roman media turn a blind eye to these.
What's going on? Roman fans can't understand it.
In fact, the Roman media was also depressed. They felt quite depressed when writing articles like this, but what could it be? You should know that the guy who performed well was a grudge against the Roman media. If others performed well, they would naturally have to write a lot, but Zhang Tiehan... Humph.
Even under pressure, they are unwilling to do more coverage.
...
At the same time, Rome is engaged in training.
After returning to the club, Derenell began to tactical issues. The game against Leverkusen was not only as simple as winning, but he had a deeper understanding of the team. He had a deeper understanding of each player's ability and the cooperation of the whole team, so he was ready to let the team do more tactical training so that the team could adapt to several tactics and some small-scale cooperation methods.
This is a long-term job.
If this work can be done well, and every player can integrate tactics and cooperation into their bones, Roma can completely escape Capello's influence and become a mature team again.
So when Delren had time, he asked the players to work hard on tactical training.
Zhang Tiehan spared no effort in this regard. His tactics and coordination is originally a weakness. Daily training increases training time in these aspects, which is exactly what he hopes, so he is very dedicated to training. Many times when he performs poorly, he will be said by his assistant coach or even his teammates, but Zhang Tiehan still likes this kind of training very much. After all, they remind themselves with kindness.
But there is really not much time to train.
After playing against Leverkusen, it was the Serie A again a few days later. This time their opponent was Palermo, a newly promoted team in the First Division.
Palermo is considered a giant team in Serie B. The team has Italian international Tony, Italian Olympic team members Bazali and Zaccardo, and the midfielder is a combination of two former famous Chivo players Corini and Baronne. In addition, the two Argentines Santana and Ferrias are very practical. In the "Moreti Beer Cup" before the season, Palermo beat Inter Milan and Juventus and won the championship in one fell swoop, which has initially demonstrated its outstanding strength and increased the team's confidence.
With outstanding strength and the head coach is "Little Zhuge" Guidolin, the media believes that Palermo's ambition in the new season is not just about relegation.
In the six rounds of the league, Palermo's performance was also good. They achieved two wins, three draws and one loss. They were the same as Roma's score, and their natural points and rankings were the same. However, this is a shame for Roma... The same points as a newly promoted team, there is absolutely nothing to show off. Moreover, in terms of overall opponents, Palermo's schedule is more difficult. They drew Inter and Juventus in the first six rounds, while Roma only drew Inter Milan. Juventus is stronger this season, and they are now the first in the Serie A standings.
So when encountering Roma, even if it is away, Palermo is not afraid at all.
This young team performed quite tenaciously at the Rome Olympic Stadium. When they fell behind in one goal in the first half, they scored two goals in a row at the beginning of the second half, almost achieving a big reversal. Fortunately, at the last moment of the game, Zhang Tiehan equalized the score with a fury shot, and finally Rome and Palermo shook hands and made peace.
After playing Palermo, it was against Juventus, the top of the league. This game was definitely the biggest focus of Serie A this round!
The point is not Juventus, the point is Capello!
Capello coached Rome last season. He suddenly terminated his contract with Rome in the summer and came to Torino to coach Juventus. There was no sign of his departure. Even before leaving, he had a one-year contract with Rome. He was almost like a temporary rebellion, which is the biggest reason why Rome has a continuous rise in various problems.
Now Rome meets Capello.
Many players in Rome can be Capello's disciples, such as Totti, who was previously considered by the Italian media as Capello's "godson". Casano and de Rossi were all promoted by Capello, while Mancini, Delvicio and others were brought to Rome by Capello.
etc.
In short, there are Capello's shadow all over Rome.
Therefore, this game is also very eye-catching. Many Italian media believe that Roma will fight life and death with Juventus at the New Alpes Stadium. This is an ordinary league and a long-term battle of grudges.
When the game ended and saw the result on the scoreboard, the Romans could only leave sadly.
3:0.
In a humiliating score, Derenell's Roma is not Juventus' opponent at all. Zebina, who used to be Roma, Emerson became Juventus players, and they also have the world's top defender Cannavaro, super star Ibrahimovic, etc. These stars were closely combined by Capello, making Roma have no temper.
Roma didn't get any good chances in the whole game.
Zhang Tiehan started, but after he appeared, he felt only the "Juventus' football art". In his opinion, the football that should be called "disgusting" was very uncomfortable. Juventus players are very strong, which is fine, but their tactical abilities are stronger. Their tactics are related to rhythm. The whole game is slow, and the attack suddenly gets up quickly. The disgusting feeling makes Zhang Tiehan have to give them a little finger.
But in his heart, he still admired it.
This is the first time, he felt that he was so at a loss for the game. His cooperation with his teammates could not penetrate the Juventus defense line at all, and his opponent's sudden attack could always catch them off guard.
He shot twice in the game.
One of them was threatened, but it was successfully resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper. Even so, Zhang Tiehan is one of the best players in Roma. Perhaps only captain Toti is comparable to him. Toti has rich experience in the game. He played with Juventus and his performance was still very active. Although it was difficult to play, after the game, Turin Sports still gave Toti a 6.5-point evaluation, which was the highest in Roma's team, and Zhang Tiehan only had 6 points, ranking second in Roma. His evaluation was "good ability to seize opportunities and fierce defense."
The defense added a lot of points to him.
But no matter how it performs, 3:0 is a shame for Roma. The important thing is that the opponent is Juventus and Capello. All Roma players hope to defeat Capello. Only Zhang Tiehan is not interested in Capello. Capello? Who is he?
However, after the game, he also remained silent with his teammates.
Chapter completed!
