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

The second leg of the Europa League 1/16 final between Roma and Panathinaikos ended at halftime.

Even though the Roma fans are angry, at least they haven't vented their emotions on the team.

Most of the players' minds are still in a state of confusion at the moment.

Conceded 3 goals in 5 minutes, and even lost his mind.

Walk into the player tunnel.

Shen Feng and De Rossi looked at each other with complicated eyes.

Shen Feng spoke first.

"Maybe one thing is proven right."

De Rossi shook his head slightly, but he did not disagree with Shen Feng's statement.

On the flight back to Rome a week ago.

Shen Feng once said that Roma is not like a typical Italian team.

Maybe the teams playing in Serie A will perform better.

Because the Serie A teams are very restrained.

Encountering Panathinaikos like a mad dog, plus Rome taking the initiative to retreat, it is impossible to prevent it at all!

There are many objective factors and variables.

But if the same situation happens again, there must be a great factor of inevitability!

At this time, De Rossi must also admit that it will be very dangerous for Rome to play counter-defense.

At this stage of the season, if stability is sought at the strategic and tactical level, there may still be a lot of room for error in Serie A.

But in the European war, they seemed to be abolishing their martial arts.

Of course, Ranieri's original intention of low consumption is not wrong.

It's just that the player's utilitarianism only exists in whether he can win the game.

If Ranieri can assure you: we put the bus, extreme counter-reaction, the battle will win!

There is no doubt that all players will support him.

But Ranieri does not have such an aura, perhaps replaced by Mourinho, Roma may have completed the transition from wolf pack tactics to defensive counterattacks.

Even if the anti-counterfeit is not played well and there is a collapse, the player can only continue to move forward according to the route designed by the head coach.

But now Rome still has a lot of room for player autonomy after all.

Back in the locker room, De Rossi first looked at Ranieri's adjustments.

It was difficult for Claudio Ranieri to lash out at his players for the avalanche of routs late in the first half.

It is he who wants to fight against.

He is also the one who emphasizes the rhythm.

He wrote the script, but Panathinaikos didn't cooperate.

If you want to blame, you should rush to the visiting team's locker room to ask how Panathinaikos dared to be so presumptuous at home in Rome!

Ranieri can only pour chicken blood into chicken soup for the team, so that the team can stabilize their mentality, emphasizing that they can get back in the second half.

At the same time, substitutions are necessary to mobilize the enthusiasm of the team.

Menes came on to replace Chelsea.

Baptista came on to replace Brigi.

Roma went directly to the 442 formation.

Or more aggressively, 244.

Because the full-backs must press forward, Shen Feng and Menes must also play the role of wingers on the wing.

Ranieri's adjustment still showed a strong demeanor.

Naturally, there is no need for a Greek team to cringe.

Before playing, De Rossi boosted morale again, but he issued a warning.

"If you don't want us to be the laughing stock and shame of Italy at the end of today's game, you know what to do in the second half!"

After the collapse of losing 3 goals in a row for 5 minutes, the Roman generals stabilized their minds and at least had a mentality recovery stage.

In intercontinental competitions, Rome is actually prone to mental breakdown.

The last intercontinental game that collapsed in a short period of time dates back to the 2007 Champions League knockout match with Manchester United.

Roma conceded three goals in a row in 8 minutes.

In the end, the game at Old Trafford created the first tragedy in the history of the European team for the Roman team.

1:7 fiasco.

Even if they beat Manchester United 2-1 at home in the first leg, it looks like they should be on par with their opponents.

But the crash happened in a short time.

No one can reverse the situation.

Fortunately, today's opponent is not a top European team.

At the same time, it is not as hopeless as in the past when the total score in the away half was 3 goals behind.

Whether we can bring the game back, we still need to take practical actions.

Returning to the court in the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again.

Roma's substitutions have at least restored some confidence to the fans.

After the referee blew the whistle to start the fight, Panathinaikos still maintained a positive momentum, but it was clear to strengthen the defense at a glance, not as bold and brave as in the first half.

Whether it is a person or a team, it is always inevitable to replicate the mistakes that have been experienced.

Just as it is always difficult for people to really learn from history.

Panathinaikos has two goals in hand, and at the same time tied Roma's away goals.

Once they score another goal, it will be more difficult for Roma to come back.

The total score is now 4:6.

If Panathinaikos turns 6 into 7.

Rome must turn 4 into 8!

Roma is actively counterattacking. De Rossi and Perotta, who sit in the midfield, have only two tasks, attacking the ball from the wing and defending the interception to destroy the opponent's offensive!

Riise and Cassetti shuttled between the two wings. Shen Feng and Menes, under the active support of the two centers Vucinic and Baptista, either dribbled inside to look for opportunities, or played simple passes and cuts to create threats. .

Roma began a full-scale counterattack, suppressing Panathinaikos' midfield. Compared with a week ago, they are in a worse situation at home.

Therefore, the style of play has become simpler and more rude.

Shen Feng and Menes were knocked down one after another.

The effect after the change of Rome's posture is very similar to that of a week ago.

After the full release of hard power, Panathinaikos can clearly feel the gap.

Even though Rome's offensive routine is slightly single.

But with double center forwards, double forwards, and the fire support of the full backs, Roma alternately attacked from left to right, tearing Panathinaikos' defense to the limit!

Panathinaikos continued to use fouls to try to break the rhythm of Rome.

But Rome is moving faster and faster!

After the pressure of the formation came up, the team's overall mobility was also brought into play.

As long as Panathinaikos did not pass through the defense line with a wonderful pass, the Roman defense line was also very decisive in responding to the counterattack blockade.

Foul tactics will also be adopted.

Compared with Menez who paid more attention to personal breakthrough on the right, Shen Feng's cooperation with Riise on the left was more efficient.

In the 64th minute of the game, Riise, who had already bottomed out, drove the Panathinaikos defense back.

At this time, Shen Feng responded from the rear, and did not choose to cut inside.

Riise returns the ball without a good chance to kick it in.

Shen Feng stopped the ball and dialed the ball back to dodge the defender's press, and then sent a 45-degree cross.

The football flies to the rear point of the penalty area along with the inward arc.

In the key spot-grabbing position, Baptista relied on physical confrontation to win and then shook his head to attack the goal!

The football goes straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Fanatical cheers sounded again at the Olympic Stadium!

Roma fans see hope.

Total score rewritten.

5:6.

The whole team retreated quickly, racing against time.

At this time, the generals of Panathinaikos realized that they were once again overwhelmed by the hard-hitting Rome!

Maybe they have similar problems as Rome.

It's just that Rome's defensive desire to win the game economically and economically with low consumption is a kind of conceit that has developed into a self-error.

However, Panathinaikos' retreat when the score is ahead is its own limitation.

After all, Rome's strong counterattack was foreseen.

Strengthening the defense is the amount of advance.

But in the face of Rome, which is full of firepower, retreating means being passively beaten.

Sporadic counterattacks could not create enough pressure on Rome, so they could only pin their hopes on the fact that Rome's offense could not exert its due strength.

The horn of counterattack has sounded.

Rome has no mercy or psychological concerns.

Actively counter-grab after the kick-off, and start to organize the offensive after winning the ball.

Panathinaikos chose to gamble after all.

Further strengthen the defense!

The formation retreated closer to the goal.

Expose the inner fear of Rome.

Roma's successive crosses were cleared.

They switch styles immediately.

In the 69th minute of the game, Shen Feng encountered an interception while dribbling inside from the wing.

Decisively cooperate with the plugged Perotta to hit the wall.

The defensive player retreated, but he ran laterally.

After responding again, the ball changed direction and kicked the goal suddenly on the right side of the top of the arc in the penalty area!

The football flew to the left of the center of the goal like a cannonball.

The goalkeeper of Panathinaikos was caught off guard by Shen Feng's powerful shot.

Barely blocked the ball during the save.

Then in the next second, Vucinic made a supplementary shot in front of the goal and sent the ball into the goal again!

The total score was rewritten again.

6:6!

Roma scored twice in 5 minutes!

Tat for tat.

The fans cheer.

Roma players still don't celebrate.

They understand the principle of striking while the iron is hot and working hard at once than Panathinaikos.

At this time, the frontcourt completely crushed the opponent, how could Roma give up halfway?

Not sure about winning the game.

The total score is just a tie.

Panathinaikos had obviously panicked.

There have been 12 goals in the two rounds of this game!

The audience enjoyed it.

But to say that the emotions and mentality fluctuate greatly at this time, it is naturally Panathinaikos, not Rome.

Rome was stunned for a short time.

But in the second half always with confidence.

Taking advantage of Panathinaikos' flustered state of mind, he was a little overwhelmed facing the game.

Rome continued to storm and oppress.

Only 2 minutes after the last goal, Roma attacked from the right.

Cassetti went down to meet Menez's pass, and he cut the ball directly from the outside, killing Panathinaikos' defense by surprise.

Vucinic and Baptista rushed to the goal and led the defensive players all the way to defend.

However, Cassetti passed the ball back in an inverted triangle before the bottom line in the penalty area.

When the football rolled to the right of the penalty spot, a figure suddenly killed it!

Shen Feng!

Hengdao immediately!

Domineering burst!

The football was like light and lightning, and it flew into the Panathinaikos goal in an instant!

The atmosphere in the stands of the Olympic Stadium in Rome is like a catastrophe!

Shen Feng roared and rushed to the sidelines, taking off his jersey on the way.

It would not have been so exciting to fight Panathinaikos.

But Roma scored three goals in the second half and staged a lead.

The mood and vibe are all in place.

Let him be released as much as he wants!

The Roman generals rushed to drown him on the sidelines.

The players on the Panathinaikos field looked around blankly, as if they didn't believe what happened just now!

Roma returned them three goals in 8 minutes!
