Chapter 69 Wake Up
Perhaps it was still the nervousness that the young Monaco players did not perform at the training level on the court, and seemed very nervous and did not even dare to make moves, as if they were afraid of being embarrassed in front of their idols.
When Toti scored Emerson's pass into Monaco's goal, Zhang Mu couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that his words before the game were in vain.
In fact, Roma's performance was not outstanding today, but Monaco had problems with it, so even if Roma was bad, he easily scored a goal.
After the game started, Roma launched a big offensive, and Monaco's defense in the midfield first had problems. Flamini was nervous and was easily passed by his opponent.
There was a gap in the middle, so Roma naturally would not let it go easily. Emerson dribbled the ball and rushed forward. Facing a pressing pass and hit Toti's feet, the Roman prince leaned on Jim and pushed it into the net.
Roma took the lead just a few minutes into the game, and Monaco's defense was almost useless.
Toti and his teammates celebrated unscrupulously, and today the 5,000 Monaco fans on the audience stage booed the sky. They never expected that their team would be behind before their butts were hot.
Looking back at Capello's expression, he was plain and calm, as if this game had nothing to do with him, and the goal did not happen at all.
Zhang Mu couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. It was obvious that Capello did not take him, the young coach, seriously.
He stood up, walked to the sidelines, and shouted at Roten. Although others had not heard what he was calling clearly, Roten understood that this was something Zhang Mu specifically told him before the game. Since the game had already developed in a bad direction, this foreshadowing advice could be implemented by himself.
Roten nodded quietly, signaling Zhang Mu to receive the instructions. When his eyes turned back to the court, his eyes became more firm.
When Monaco re-telephoned, he quickly lost the ball under the opponent's press, which was really different from their performance in training.
Zhang Mu stared at the situation on the field, especially Roten's performance on the right side.
Roten actually does not move on the wing now, because Rome's offense is relatively weak, so he often comes to the middle to help defend.
When De Rossi received Emerson's return pass, Roten suddenly activated and rushed out of the slant and knocked down De Rossi. Then there was no friendly move like pulling up the opponent, but turned around and left expressionlessly.
De Rossi fell to the ground and spat, looking at Roten's back and cursing in a low voice. His teammates quickly came over and pulled him up, and the game continued.
Zhang Mu knew that Roten was acting strictly according to his instructions. In fact, his idea was very simple, that is, to make those stars ordinary in front of young players, and the players will realize that there was nothing in the past.
Zhang Mu was afraid that his pre-match encouragement would not play a big role, so he specifically advised Roten, who had a normal mentality, to be an old player after all, and he was the captain of the team, so he wanted to play an example.
While hindering the opponent's attack through fouls, it is also showing young players that these stars you admire are now just their opponents on the court. They may be strong, but this is not the reason why you bow your head.
Roten completed the task assigned by Zhang Mu very well. After knocking De Rossi down, he repeatedly fouled Toti and Emerson to the slippery lawn without showing any mercy.
Although he paid a yellow card, it was very worth it, because Zhang Mu had already discovered the fighting spirit in the eyes of the young players and was very strong.
In fact, the players did not care much about these big-name stars, but in the same game, their mentality would inevitably be unbalanced, so technical movements would be deformed.
However, captain Roten has already set an example with his actual actions. The big names on the opposite side are just like this. They fell to the ground after being fouled, which means they are more famous than him. What else can you care about?
If I think less in my heart, I will naturally lose a lot of distractions. I will gradually be able to play my own things on the court and have a real battle with the Rome team.
The game has only been more than ten minutes since then. Although the score is behind, the situation has begun to become normal and has begun to develop in a good direction. Next, Zhang Mu can watch the team's performance with peace of mind instead of worrying about those irrelevant things.
Monaco players became proactive on the court, and when they were relaxed, they could naturally show the skills and tactics in training. They gradually controlled the situation on the court in a few rounds. Whether it was interception in the middle or defense on the back line, they could effectively curb Roma's offense.
In the offense, Monaco made more shots to the side according to the established tactics, because this is Monaco's strongest point and Rome's obvious weakness. With one rising and the other falling, Monaco can naturally fully grasp the initiative and seek it.
After Macon made two passes and one-on-one cooperation with Roten on the right, he passed the ball to the middle. At this time, Adebayo had already squeezed out Panucci, who was defending him closely with his outstanding physical condition, and headed hard towards the goal, exerting amazing force.
However, the goalkeeper of Roma was well prepared, and the Italian goalkeeper's strength was civilized all over the world. Roma's goalkeeper's strength was naturally worthy of being a wealthy family, so although he was embarrassed, he still rushed out with his palms.
However, this does not mean that Monaco's attack ends. The ball is hit back on the court, and the players of both teams are rushing towards the ball that has not been cleared far.
Obviously, although there are many Roma players near the penalty area, Monaco players who practiced the tactics of inserting in the back row have more advantages, because several midfielders were instilled by Zhang Mu in the mind of inserting in the back row with long shots.
Dalexandro slapped his horse and swung his right foot and shot hard before the opponent's defensive player intercepted it. The ball was so hard that it was very goalless without spinning.
Roma's goalkeeper was still on the ground. He was already desperate because he was always paying attention to the ball. With such a close distance and almost unpreserved goal, how could the opponent not cherish such an opportunity?
"Cang" one second hell and one second heaven.
The ball did not fly into the Rome's goal as everyone expected, but was blocked by the goal post standing in place, and the Rome escaped.
