Chapter 341: Against Rome

(New week~~~ Asking for tickets)

This is Roma's return to the Champions League after a year, and Ranieri naturally wants to give his team a good start, although the team is not complete, but Ranieri still sent the team he thinks is the strongest.

Roma lineup:

Goalkeeper: Sergio

Defenders: Cassetti, Juan, Burdisso, Rossi

Midfielders: Perrotta, De Rossi, Pizarro, Brigi

Forwards: Borriello, Totti

Italy is rich in nine and a half in modern times, Totti is one of the best, he is also the most consistent goalscorer in Roma, since the beginning of the 02-03 season, it has been eight seasons now, in these eight seasons, Totti's goals have never been less than double figures, even if the last two seasons due to age and injury have made him play time sharply, but his goalscoring ability is still stable, last season in the league since 23 appearances, but still scored 14 goals, such a performance is enough to prove Totti's ability.

Up front, Totti was attacking the city, and behind him was Chilean midfielder, David Brown. Pizarro, this is an all-round offensive and defensive super midfielder, maybe his reputation is not as loud as Pirlo, but his strength is by no means much worse than Pirlo.

Pizarro has been an integral part of Roma's midfield since arriving in the 06-07 season, with a tenacious will and flashy technique, and in attack, he is the playmaker of the team, he can deliver scalpel-like precision passes, and he can also hold the ball and cut in to score goals on his own.

Defensively, he is fierce and accurate. It is an important barrier in front of the defensive line. Plainly. Pizarro is very similar to Li Feng, football is a strange world, even if some players have the strength of a superstar, but they can never become a real superstar, Pizarro is a typical representative.

Even the central combination of the two teams is very similar, Pizarro is partnered with De Rossi, who is another all-round midfielder who can attack. After Pizarro's form declined, De Rossi shouldered Roma's midfield, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that De Rossi is Italy's current No. 1 midfielder.

Therefore, in this game, the competition between the two teams in the middle is definitely the biggest attraction of this game, but in the eyes of the media, Bayern Munich will have a certain advantage, because Pizarro is 31 years old, and it is difficult for Pizarro to take advantage of the 22-year-old Li Feng. Especially this summer, he has been injured. Although he is now recovering from his injury, he is not in good shape.

The last time the two teams met was 25 years ago, when the two teams met in the quarter-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup in March 1985, with Bayern Munich knocking them out 4-1 on aggregate.

It can also be seen from the past matchups that Roma always seems to lose more and win less when facing German teams, in the last ten visits to German teams, Roma have won two, on the contrary, Bayern Munich is different, last season double beat Juventus, let the revival of the Serie A giants run to the League Cup for a walk.

However, from the very beginning of the game, Roma showed their determination to win the game, Pizarro deployed in midfield, Cassetti cut in from the wing, and with the cooperation of Perrotta, the former sent a precise cross, and Borriello completed a beautiful leap to the top of the Bayern Munich penalty area.

Just when everyone thought Roma was going to take the lead, a red figure appeared in front of the ball and blocked it, Bayern Munich No. 28, central defender Bad Stuber.

After Bad Stuber blocked the ball, Roma didn't have time to regret, because Bayern Munich's offensive had already been launched, and after Bad Stuber blocked it, he passed the ball directly and found Li Feng outside the big penalty area.

At the moment when Li Feng held the ball, De Rossi rushed up and wanted to cut off Li Feng's ball, for which ~~~ Li Feng naturally would not let De Rossi get his wish, turned around, knocked his heel lightly, and then turned around, Li Feng broke through De Rossi's block.

But ~~~ Li Feng did not continue to hold the ball next, and the counterattack was naturally as fast as possible, so Li Feng made a long pass and found Kroos in the front, who immediately rushed to the Roma backfield with the ball.

Unfortunately, Muller and Olic were too active in defending, resulting in Kroos without support in the front, and in the end, the youngster could only end the attack with a forced shot.

In the sixth minute, Roma attacked the hinterland of Bayern Munich again, or Pizarro shared the ball, from the beginning, Pizarro did not seem to have the intention of inserting, holding the ball to the center circle and began to divide the ball.

This time Pizarro still found Cassetti, but Altentop, who had suffered a loss, did not let Cassetti leave easily, and under Altentop's defense, Cassetti had to pass the ball back to the middle, at this time, Li Feng started quickly and rushed to Pizarro.

However, Pizarro seems to have seen through Li Feng's movements, only to see that he did not stop the ball at all, and directly made a transition to the feet of De Rossi, and the vice captain of Rome took the ball and immediately rushed into Bayern Munich's half, Li Feng immediately returned to the defense when he saw this, and Schweinsteiger stepped forward to intercept.

In the face of Schweinsteiger's defense, De Rossi was very wise and did not choose to entangle with the piggy, but passed the ball directly to the right Brigitte, who did not have any intention of breaking through after taking the ball, and crossed directly diagonally to the middle, Totti retreated, and by the way, Van Bitten was also pulled out of the penalty area.

After taking the ball, Totti wanted to force a turn, but for the strong Van Bitten, with the current physical condition of the Roman prince, it was difficult to do it, and after the forced turn failed, Totti immediately chose another way, leaning back, creating the illusion of wanting to force a turn again, and then immediately moved forward.

Without Van Bitten, Totti calmly passed the ball and hoisted the ball into the Bayern Munich penalty area, although Borriello is much shorter than Bad Stuber, but in terms of physical fitness, the Italian center forward is second to none, so Borriello finally beat Bad Stuber.

But just as he was about to touch the ball, a blue figure blocked in front of him and knocked the ball away with both hands, who else could use his hands in the penalty area except the Bayern Munich goalkeeper, Bout's timely attack made Borriello's header completely missed.

Outside the Bayern Munich penalty area, Li Feng and De Rossi fought again, if it was last season, there was a 99% probability that the ball would be won by De Rossi, but this season is different, with the advantage of physical fitness, Li Feng jumped high and threw the ball directly to Schweinsteiger.

Bayern Munich's second quick counterattack, Kroos again, Schweinsteiger sent forward, Kroos received the ball in the middle, this time Kroos was not alone, with the help of Muller, but Roma Brazilian central defender Juan was quite smart and fouled Kroos directly.

Bayern Munich had a free-kick chance in front. (To be continued.) )
