Before the battle with Juventus, Derenell was about to turn white.

Delvicio was injured, Casano and Mancini were suspended for two yellow cards. The game had not yet begun, and the team had already missed three generals.

If you play against a general team, it doesn't matter if you have three players. The key opponent is Juventus, the strongest team this season. Juventus is the top four-pointer in the league, and has almost always swept the league. When facing such a strong opponent and the team lacks major generals, Dereneel really doesn't know what to do.

In the last round, at Juventus' home court, Roma lost three goals cleanly. This time, Roma seemed a little more difficult to return to the Olympic Stadium, especially after playing against Juventus, it was the second leg of the game against Manchester United. Derenell still needs to consider this.

In the end, Derenell chose to give up the game.

The game against Juventus is just a league game, and it is not as important as the Champions League. What's more, it's too difficult for the team to defeat Juventus. If you insist on fighting with all your might, it is unknown whether you can win, but the chances of the game against Manchester United are not great. The main reason is that the two games are too close and only three days apart in the middle, so it's difficult for the starters to recover.

Before the game started, there were still many media reports on the game. After all, Roma is very strong in the league and performs well in the Champions League. Although there are various problems in the team, obviously no team dares to underestimate Roma.

For the media, it is naturally difficult to find some top players to set off the game. The Roman media described the game as a "battle of revenge" because the last time Rome lost the game, and returning to the Olympic Stadium was naturally a battle of revenge.

Some Roman media even call the game a war between Italy's North and South, and it is estimated that media in other regions will not recognize it. After all, Rome is difficult to represent the south. It can only represent the capital, and Juventus cannot represent the north. AC Milan fans will definitely not recognize it.

In short, all kinds of heads were thrown out.

But when the game started and saw Roma's starting lineup, all the media were disappointed because Roma did not send the strongest lineup at all. Totti's failure to play fully proved this.

Fortunately, Zhang Tiehan is still on the court, and fans who came to watch the game also have hope of seeing the exciting game.

But there is only one Zhang Tiehan... Judging from the situation, it is really useless.

Zhang Tiehan is a forward and a player who is very inclined to the frontcourt. He himself cannot suppress Juventus. The Roma midfielder is composed of substitutes and young players. The only thing that is famous is De Rossi, but compared to Juventus' luxurious lineup, it is really difficult for De Rossi to hold on.

But relatively speaking, Juventus did not send all the main players, Nedved, Emerson, and Ibrahimovic, the three main players, did not appear in the starting lineup, but the main players in the backcourt were all sent, but Cannavaro's temporary absence also lowered the defense line by a level.

Both teams have a tacit understanding and sent a half-substitute lineup.

When the players of the two teams appeared, Capello and Derenell smiled at each other in a tacit understanding. Obviously, they didn't want to drag down the UEFA Champions League knockout match a few days later because of a domestic league game.

But even Juventus' semi-substitute lineup is quite strong. In terms of midfield, both Camoranesi and Vieira are quite in their previous lives. Even the midfield substitute Brasi is much stronger than Roma's midfielder's champions.

There is no need to say more about the backcourts of the two teams.

Mex was forced to suspend the game, Ferrari was unable to play, Roma had almost no one to be available in the backcourt, and the only one who could support the scene was Zivo, who was also a full-back, not a central defender.

Perhaps the only person who deserves praise for Roma is Zhang Tiehan. Although the combination of Juventus' forward line and Trezeguet and Piero are also quite outstanding, no one thinks that Juventus' forward line is strong when Zhang Tiehan stands there. Especially the best performance, Ibrahimovic, who can compare with Zhang Tiehan, has not yet played.

In this comparison, the game between the two teams began.

...

"Neither team sent out a main lineup in this game. Toti's absence on Roma will have a great impact on them. On Juventus, Ibrahimovic and Nedved did not play in the starting position. Nedved could not even find the bench. Obviously Capello hopes that the general will have a rest and prepare to welcome the next Champions League."

“This is the Olympic Stadium in Rome.”

"The match between Roma and Juventus has begun. From the scene, neither team is in a hurry to attack and have to test each other for a while."

"In Roma's lineup, Juventus is only afraid of Zhang in the frontcourt. So far, Zhang has scored 30 goals in the league and eleven goals in the Champions League. His high efficiency is really scary."

"However, many of Roma's main players did not play in this game. In this case, it is hard to say what Zhang will perform. After all, Zhang is the kind of striker who needs the support of his teammates."

"Juventus' semi-substitute lineup is much better than Roma..."

"To be a joke, if there is no Zhang in Roma's team, it would not be an exaggeration to call them Serie B lineup, and Juventus, even if it is a semi-substitute, still has the top strength in Serie A."

The commentator talked about the lineup of the two teams. From his words, he could see that he was more optimistic about Juventus. Roma's fans must be very unhappy when they heard it, but it is undeniable that the above is true. Roma's starting lineup is indeed not very good now.

The comparison of the strength of the two teams' lineups has also been reflected in the game.

Juventus suppressed Roma at the beginning of the game.

Juventus' midfield strength is quite strong. Roma has no advantage in fighting for initiative with Juventus. Soon, Juventus continued to attack, while Roma could only fight back.

This situation is quite passive.

Roma can only rely on constant defense, find opportunities to try to counterattack once or twice, and can only defend in the backcourt most of the time.

This made Rome fans a little dissatisfied.

Speaking of the league's opponents, Roma's biggest enemy now is not the city's arch rival Lazio, but Juventus. The reason is that Juventus's coach is Capello.

Looking back on last year, it was also this month when Roma and Juventus really had a top-ranked battle. At that time, Roma ranked second in the league and Juventus ranked first in the league.

Capello was the head coach of Rome at that time.

Before the game, Capello publicly stated on Italian TV, "I will never coach Juventus."

Capello and Lippi have always been considered as the ever-winning generals in the Apennines football world. Since Lippi is likely to take over the Italian national team in the summer and the Rome club was in an economic crisis at that time, some media boldly speculated that Capello would take over the Zebra Legion.

"I decided not to join the Zebras," Capello said at the time. "It's an attitude of life. I don't think coaching Juventus is challenging. I just do things that I feel interesting."

While closing his door to Juventus, Capello also praised his opponent.

"Juventus has a stable state, and Roma has to play the best form to score points on the Zebras. Lippi's team plays simple and bright football, and they can have an imaginative overall cooperation and break through your goal through a few passes. We have to try to stop them from playing this rhythm, which is quite difficult."

Capello was a completely Roman person at that time.

The club in Rome encountered economic problems, and Capello claimed to be determined not to go to Juventus and had a very good relationship with all players. He and Totti were nicknamed "father and son" by the media, which shows how close Capello and Rome are.

But three months later, Juventus' official website announced that Capello would coach Juventus in the next three seasons, and also disclosed the contract signed by Capello and Juventus, with an annual salary of 3 million euros by June 2007.

This news was the most explosive news in Europe at that time, because Capello and Juventus' relationship was definitely not good. Although Capello had experienced playing football at Juventus during the player stage, Capello had never had any good feelings for Juventus before. He once said that "Juventus people are a group of 'Jesus' (crawling people)".

In addition, Capello signed with Juventus and his annual salary was only 3 million euros. Apart from the additional terms, if you discuss the annual salary alone, this salary is 1 million less than Cooper's annual salary for coaching Inter Milan, and even less than his own annual salary for coaching Roma.

Capello's defection made Rome and Juventus immediately become mortal enemies!

Capello not only defected, he also took away Roma's outstanding players Zebina and Emerson at the time. Juventus almost hollowed out Roma. The reason for many young players in Roma's lineup is the same. There were many generals in the Roma team, but now they can only use young players to enrich the lineup.

In two seasons, the gap has become so big.

So Capello is a person that Rome fans hate. Now Juventus is challenging Rome away, and the team is actually beaten by Juventus, and the chance of fighting back is very small, so Rome fans are even more dissatisfied.

They kept making 'boo' in the stands, and some fans kept scolding Capello.

This was Capello's first time returning to the Olympic Stadium in Rome after defecting to Juventus. He knew he would not be welcomed and was calm in the face of this situation.

Importantly, Juventus suppressed Rome.

As the Italian Sky Sports commentator said, "No matter how much the fans hate Capello, the gap between the two teams is too big. Even if they are at home, it will be difficult for them to have any chance."
