The Green Monster: Starting To Be Crazy Since Meeting Ronaldo!

Since the new season, Roma's offensive performance has won praise from the outside world.

In addition to scoring more goals in statistics, their proactive offense has formed a distinct style difference from most conservative and utilitarian teams.

It is not only an alternative to Serie A, but also has a good record.

This allowed them to gain support from the fans.

But when it comes to the specific scene, the offense actually transitioned from the wolf pack tactics to the Ranieri period. There are changes in details.

Pack of wolves tactics is easy to create a more impactful visual sense on the scene, but lacks a system in terms of coordination and thinking.

When the performance is good, it will destroy the city vigorously.

On the contrary, it is easy to become a group of headless flies, strong on the outside but dry on the inside.

The root of Spalletti's dismissal is by no means superficial because of the two-round defeat in Serie A at the beginning of the season. He has been under pressure since last season and has been "dismissed". At the beginning of the new season, the team failed to win. Fans, media, and senior management , Take turns to question.

Spalletti chose to resign voluntarily because he was tired.

rather than being fired.

If analyzed objectively, the start of the new season in Roma is definitely not the offense that affects the team's record. The root cause is defense.

Shen Feng's joining will inevitably make Roma's attacking team need to run in, adapt, and adjust.

To Roma's surprise, Shen Feng is far from being able to summarize his 40 goals in the Bundesliga season.

The person Roma can never avoid on the offensive end is captain Totti.

Winning the European Golden Boot in 2007 can be regarded as the pinnacle of personal career efficiency.

But in the past two seasons, he suffered from minor injuries, his appearance rate was around 65%, and his number of goals was also cut in half.

Even if you don't follow up, you can understand the reasons for the decline in Rome's record.

The team's core playing time is insufficient.

What's more, the technical and tactical support that Totti received is the top of the team. Looking at European football, there are also very few stars in the team who can have a higher status than him.

His contribution and loyalty are the capital for the club, fans and media to tolerate him.

But at the age of 33, and in the past two years, both the team record and personal efficiency have declined. As a top star, his sense of responsibility to Rome also forces him to summarize and reflect.

The outside world criticized Shen Feng for being led astray by De Rossi, but this duo, which the media in Turin and Milan said was "working together", actually helped Shen Feng gain a better foothold in Rome.

He did not experience the open and secret struggles in the Dortmund team in the early days. Not only did he get on the position smoothly, but he also got the support of the midfielder headed by the vice-captain.

On the offensive end, Totti turned a blind eye to this, and even De Rossi was a little puzzled. If Roma hadn't been behind for a long time since the new season, he would not have done it too obviously.

But Totti's reaction gave De Rossi a bold guess: Totti acquiesced to Shen Feng's tactical position in the striker.

The decline in the appearance rate in the past two years has sounded the alarm for Totti.

He took the initiative to carry Rome.

But he didn't play in more than 30% of Rome's games, so how did he lead Rome to victory and create brilliance?

The core of a team must have a prerequisite: health.

Only healthy players can fight for the team.

Then there are factors such as ability, state, skills and tactics.

Even though Totti did not want to give up his tactical position, the reality has not allowed him to remain tough in this respect.

In the final analysis, competitiveness is still based on ability.

The waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead, and a new generation replaces the old ones.

Shen Feng's performance made Totti willing to try a role change.

Roma needed glory, which was his final ambition late in his career.

Already having the awareness to contribute everything to Rome, it is naturally impossible to be so superficial as not transferring in this life and guarding a city alone.

Therefore, Shen Feng's ascension went smoothly.

Totti is a man who has seen the world.

As long as he looks at what the strikers around him are doing on the field, he can easily judge who has the ability to lead the attack group to new heights.

In the past, there was no such person around him.

At least people have never seen such a fantastic combination of Montella, Batistuta and Totti in the Roma lineup.

But the appearance of Shen Feng now, in the eyes of most people, is just the normal metabolism of Rome.

Totti, who is in decline, and Vucinic, who has always been average in efficiency, it seems that Roma's position in Serie A will not change because of the arrival of a European Golden Boot winner.

But now Totti has seen an ability beyond expectations from Shen Feng.

It's not just Shen Feng's finishing ability.

Rather, Shen Feng's style seemed to be at the forefront of the times.

Think of him coming out of La Masia, and look at Barcelona, ​​which is now sitting on the top of Europe.

Everything happens for a reason.

Everything seems to be in order.

As a new aid, Shen Feng built an offensive combination on the left at the fastest speed.

Echoing back and forth with Riise, the combination of side and middle gradually improves the efficiency of cooperation.

Roma's offensive firepower since the new season is already proud of the crowd.

But in terms of rhythm, they are still relatively reckless.

Basically every wave of offensive is straight forward, fast in and fast out.

Repeated shocks are passionate.

But as Shen Feng said after they were scored by Naples: they need to play more patiently.

It is not only to suppress Naples and limit the opponent's counterattack, but also to improve efficiency.

Now to improve the quality of offense.

Improve overall control over the game situation.

Naples continued to stick to their style of play, and the three midfielders who were both offensive and defensive took turns to fill in and strengthen the interception.

Shen Feng took the initiative to slow down a bit when attacking in the frontcourt.

When there are no good passing lanes or space to attack, he will pass more to the safety ball.

The same is true for Totti, not only actively responding to Shen Feng, but also passing back more frequently.

Compared with their previous fast forward and fast exit, the offensive scene is full of oppression. Even if they can't play a threat, they can still intimidate the opponent's defense.

Now they seem to take the initiative to put away their edge.

When Naples' three midfielders back and forth to adjust their positions, Roma's patient offensive will speed up their adjustment rate.

Once there is a flaw in the adjustment and transposition in this process, it is time for Rome to speed up the attack!

Shen Feng found that the efficiency of slowing down and patiently organizing the offensive was better than he expected.

Sure enough, his teammates are stronger, their abilities are there, and their experience is very rich.

And the Italian players themselves have a high level of tactical literacy.

Compared with other traditional football powers, the advantage is that everyone is the same when pulling hips, but when it is good, Italy can show combat effectiveness beyond expectations.

There is an essential difference from other traditional football powerhouses where stars shine or superstars rule the field.

At the end of the first half, Shen Feng and Totti always speed up and send threatening passes into the penalty area after moving to tear the defense line and preparing for feints.

Vucinic and Menez got kicker shots in the penalty area one after another, and danger began to appear in front of Naples.

Unfortunately, neither of them scored.

However, all the Roman generals could see the improvement of the situation.

There are fewer dangers in the backcourt, and after the offense pays more attention to organization and quality improvement, the defensive control has also become stronger.

Lavezzi failed to play a threat under the sporadic counterattack, and the defense of Rome's midfielder did a good job of cutting.

Did not let Naples play a threatening team offensive.

Ranieri put his arms around his chest and looked calm.

Although Rome is still not the anti-reverse style of play he expected.

But it is obvious to cool down on the offensive end and reduce hard rushing, but it has played a role in protecting the defense to a certain extent.

Halftime is over.

The mood of Roma fans is fairly stable.

On the way back to the locker room, Totti took the initiative to walk to Shen Feng's side, and the two exchanged in low voices.

In fact, it is mainly complaining.

Menez and Vucinic are unreliable!

It's not a game of abuse, and there won't be so many opportunities for them to squander at will.

But since the season so far, Shen Feng and Totti have never seen Vucinic and Menez have any particularly shining operations.

Sometimes the two can't help but want to switch places with them.

Those opportunities are given to the two of them, and I dare not say that one shot will be accurate, but I am confident that I can score goals.

In case of extraordinary performance, a hat trick is not a dream.

But it's just a thought.

If the positions were really reversed, the jobs that Totti and Shen Feng were doing, those two couldn't do them either, and there was no role in the Roma formation that could replace them.

Ranieri's halftime adjustment finally made some specific arrangements on the offensive end.

Vucinic strengthened the support and cover of the fulcrum, and Menes rushed in to ambush.

It seems that Ranieri took a month to finally pee in a jug with the players in the locker room.

After making adjustments, Roma returned to the field in the second half and immediately launched a strong attack.

Naples has also made corresponding adjustments.

At the end of the first half, there was confusion in their defensive line, and the midfield protection was insufficient.

Frequent shifts and zone defenses, but Rome always molested them, making it difficult for them to stop and reset and adjust during the fast operation, so flaws appeared.

They turned to a static zone defense, mainly compressing space.

The change in Naples' defensive posture made it difficult for Roma to form a shooting threat in the penalty area.

But shooting long shots outside the penalty area is absolutely fine.

And the routine is simpler than the patient organization.

Shen Feng and Totti pressed the front left area of ​​the penalty area, restrained the defense and delivered shells to the midfield teammates who inserted behind.

When De Rossi hit the plane with two consecutive long-range shots, the Roma fans were disappointed, but the Naples generals sounded the alarm.

De Rossi is not as simple as having a long shot.

But since the new season, he has bombarded his opponents and scored goals!

More than once!

Their active pressing in the first half was able to limit De Rossi and then insert a long-range kick.

Now that the compressed space is contained, it is easy to fail to block De Rossi who plugged in in time.

So the Naples midfielder switched back to the defensive tactics of the first half again.

Roma also quickly switched styles of play.

In the 60th minute of the game, Shen Feng suddenly pulled the limit to the left, and Totti's oblique long pass scored the ball.

After Shen Feng stopped the ball with his chest, he was pressed by Maggio, and before the football hit the ground, he knocked the ball back in the air.

After the ball is out, he quickly advances from the outside line.

Riise followed up and sent the ball through.

Shen Feng controlled the ball in front of the bottom line and crossed into the penalty area. Vucinic responded in the middle, but the cross was blocked by Cannavaro Jr.

When Gargano came to help defend, he also paid attention to blocking the angle of Shen Feng's inverted triangle return pass.

Shen Feng calmly knocked the ball back outside the penalty area.

When De Rossi rushed up, Chigalini returned to the defense to block his shooting line.

De Rossi picked the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Perhaps because he was afraid of being blocked, the angle of the pass was a bit off.

Totti moved forward to get rid of Hamsik, but the ball landed behind him.

Totti changed direction and adjusted, facing the sidewalk and then twisted his body and swung his legs to volley!

This shooting posture made Shen Feng even surprised!

This improvised adjustment is definitely top level!

Generally, forwards must stop the ball and then adjust, so there is no time and space.

Totti forced a half-turn and hit a volley, which really showed his strength as a top star.

The football flew into the upper right corner of the goal against the inside of the right post!

Goalkeeper De Sanctis was stunned!

No one expected an opportunity that was not fed to the mouth, but Totti swallowed it forcefully with his strength!

The Olympic Stadium cheered loudly.

Shen Feng ran towards the midfield while admiring in his heart, but turning his head inadvertently made him look dignified.

After Totti scored a goal, he stood there with a painful expression.

But he moved his left leg lightly and then slowly walked towards the midfield.

It seems that every step is feeling the condition of his left leg.
