Chapter 179 Didn't you say that you can score a goal soon?
The game started soon.
Luton still came up and began to press on, to carry out their best frontcourt pressure defense.
Ranieri admired the tactical system created by Gao Bo very much.
The three fronts are very dense both vertically and horizontally, and then the overall coordination and overall movement discipline allow them to almost form an absolute number advantage in the ball zone.
Ranieri thinks about how to break this set of tactics these days. Italy is a very rich area of football tactics. There are many famous Italian coaches. The main reason is that Italy has a very strong domestic research tactics atmosphere.
Ranieri is not surprised.
Ranieri has his consistent tactical style, based on defensive defensive counterattacks and wing attack. In Ranieri's tactical thinking, he has relatively high requirements for the speed and assault of the full-back, and he also attaches great importance to the back waistline. Defensive (this is also the reason why he bought a bunch of midfielders when he was in charge of Juventus). Even in the use of 4312, the front midfielders were often asked to pull sides to organize attacks (Menez was typical when he was in charge of Rome). All in all, emphasizing wing attack and midfield defense are the core of Ranieri's tactical system.
Gao Bo knows well about Ranieri. As a head coach, studying the tactical styles of famous coaches all over the world is what Gao Bo often does.
However, because the current Roma team lacks a high center forward, Gao Bo is not afraid of Roma's wing attack.
In fact, both teams are good at defensive counterattacks, but Luton mentioned his formation to the midfield, using such oppressive defense to create pressure on the opponents, make them make mistakes, and then seize the opponent. Opportunity for mistakes.
.....
Facing Luton's top grab, Rome seemed to be well prepared.
Roma's offensive method is also very simple. Facing Luton's intensive midfield defense, they played long passes directly from the backcourt!
In the third minute of the game, De Rossi sent a long pass on the edge of the penalty area.
The football crossed Luton's midfield defense line and fell directly to Menez's feet on the right side of the front field.
"De Rossi's precise long pass!!!"
The Italian commentator started to get excited.
However, Luton recovered quickly. Menez rushed along the wing, and Sandro followed suit. He jammed Menez's pass to the center, and Luton's formation quickly moved over and was immediately in Menez. A large number of defensive players gathered on this side.
Adam came back to participate in the defense, and Drinkwater was here.
The Roma team also gathered a large number of people here, and Perrotta and center Vucinic came over.
For a time, almost all the players on the field gathered on the right.
Gao Bo saw this scene, he was a little strange, when the attacking, the Roma team actually did not open?
Soon Gao Bo knew what Roma wanted to do. Vucinic came to pick up Menes. After Menes played with him twice, Menez passed the ball again.
A transfer ball for a cross pass! !
Tadai on the other side quickly moved forward to get the ball, and Luton's formation quickly moved over!
But Taddei seemed to be waiting for Luton's formation to move at this moment, he immediately pushed the ball to the center!
De Rossi, who was inserted in the back row, shot directly! !
The loud sound shocked the fans at the scene.
But the football is scratching the crossbar to get to the bottom line.
Gao Bo was also relieved. He saw Ranieri's plan now.
The Roma team didn't invest much in the offense. Menez first tried a wing breakthrough, but Luton's formation quickly moved over. And Rome seems to have already been mentally prepared.
The center forward pulled to the wing to give Menez the ball, and then Menez moved the ball to the other end.
Gao Bo still knows the characteristics of Menez very well. This is an offensive organizer who has pulled to the wing, not a pure winger.
His footwork can support him to do so.
Then Tadai on the other wing was just a feint. The real offensive point was in the middle, and the midfielder stuck in to complete the shot. De Rossi still has a long shot.
Gao Bo looked at Ranieri, who was not far away.
The Italian coach has always been criticized for his lack of imagination in his offense, but in such a game, a slick offensive routine can also exert great power in the face of Luton, because in terms of personal strength, Roma The players of the team can still get some advantages.
The opponent's offensive routine is very simple, but Gao Bo also had to defend. Roma's frontcourt wing and center coordination, as well as the frontcourt's two full-backs' turnover, have created threats.
In the fifteenth minute of the game, Menez switched to the left.
As a result, Carl Jenkinson fell into a disadvantage when facing Menez. Menez first deceived Jenkinson with a fake action to lose the center of gravity, then he calmly cut inside and took a shot from the penalty zone line.
An arc of the foot was drawn on the inner instep, and he clicked behind the goal.
Schmeichel struggled to save. In the end, he just tapped the ball with the tip of his finger, but this one still worked. The football hit the far post and bounced back into the penalty area. Then he was kicked by George Parker in the penalty area. Relieved.
"A rather threatening offense by the Roma team, teenager Carl Jenkinson is completely unable to keep up with Menez's rhythm!" Letkinson said with some worry.
"Roma are in a very good state of the game. They hit two sides directly through long passes. Almost all the frontcourt players on the two sides of Rome are close to the sides to carry out activities, and Luton's dense center is blocked. They passed by." Little Redknapp said.
Menez also discovered that Karl Jenkinson is better bully than Alex Sandro on the other side, so he simply stayed on the left.
George Parker's clearance ball went out of the sideline, and the Roma team quickly took the ball out.
Gao Bo saw signs of Roma's offensive, and waved to the players to reclaim it.
Gao Bo looked at the current Roma team. Despite the lack of Totti, they are still a very strong team in Serie A. It is no wonder that they can almost win in the second division this season. The next champion.
Ranieri's team has never been underestimated.
When Luton returned, Roma was not in a hurry to attack. De Rossi became the metronome of Roma's attack. When there was no gap, Roma left the ball in the backcourt, and if Luton wanted to press it out, De Rossi He passed the ball long to both sides and asked Rome's two wing attackers to make some threats on the wing.
One minute and one second passed in the first half, and the two teams on the field fell into a balance of power.
Luton was afraid of Rome's wing attack, so they took the formation back, while Rome was afraid of Luton's counterattack, and they did not dare to press the attack.
The score was still zero to zero in the game until the 30th minute.
"Didn't you say that you can score a goal soon?" Old lady Chen squinted at the old man suspiciously.
"Almost...really soon..." The old man was a little guilty, so he had no choice but to talk about him.
