Chapter 126 Against Rome

Chapter 126 Against Rome
"Oh Who do I see? Luigi" When the figure appeared in front of the live broadcast camera, the few Cagliari fans burst into unprecedented cheers.

Luigi Riva, one of the few legendary feats in the history of Cagliari, from the 63-64 season to the 75-76 season, Cagliari won the absolute core of the Serie A championship.

Even when Riva retired, Cagliari's No. 11 jersey was permanently sealed because of Riva.

Currently, Riva works with the Italian national team, although the Cagliari legend rarely appears in the stadium stands.

But soon, the cheers of the Cagliari fans were overshadowed by the cheers of the Roma fans, because the chairman of Roma appeared in the box with a group of children and high-level officials.

Sensi's popularity in Roma reached its peak after helping Roma to their third Serie A title.

Although the people in the stands can attract people's attention, when the players come on the field, everyone's eyes immediately return to the field.

Cagliari lineup:

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defenders: Balzaretti, Hierro, Barzagli, Cassetti

Midfield: Ribery, Guardiola, Conte, Poborski.

Forwards: Toni, Zola
"This is Cagliari's strongest team," Duan Xuan shouted.

Cech has already proved himself in the first game. As for the defense, Balzaretti has performed steadily in these two games. Not to mention Hierro, the former Real Madrid captain can be called a treasure in the defense of Caglia Road.

Not to mention the four in the midfield, Poborski can explode Maldini's existence. Guardiola's performance in the past few times makes people faintly feel that the former Barcelona captain is back.

As for Conte and Ribery, they are both old Cagliari players, the captain and core supported by Li Yi. By the way, the old Conte also appeared in the stands. Because of his son, the old Conte did not appear in the box with the chairman of Roma.

Tony is Cagliari's bidder this summer, and the last two games have also shown the value of the bidder, scoring three goals in two games, especially in the match against Modena, Tony blasted the only goal in the game.

Although Zola did not score a goal, Zola's role in the frontcourt is irreplaceable. The Bantam is the point where Cagliari takes the ball in the frontcourt, and it is also the choice and starting point of the attack. With Zola in the frontcourt, Ribery and Poborski can devote all their energy to the offense.

Roma lineup:

Goalkeeper: Pedzuoli

Defenders: Chivu, Moussael, De Las,

Midfielders: Candela Tomasi, Emerson, Panucci

Attacking midfielder: Totti

Forwards: Montella, Cassano
3412, this is Capello's regular lineup in Rome. Totti appears in the midfielder position. Two full-backs move forward. Tomasi defends aggressively. Emerson can not only organize and dispatch, but also his strong running ability can cover the entire midfield and defense. It can be said that Emerson is the most powerful midfielder in today's football.

Seeing the starting lineup of Rome, it is no wonder that the Romans are so proud. Except for the goalkeeper Pellizzoli, this starting lineup is all from various countries, and they are all the main players.

"I have a hunch that this will be a very exciting match." Li Yi shook hands with Capello on the sidelines when players from both sides came on the field.

"Wonderful? To me, victory is the most exciting thing." Capello looked at the confident Li Yi and said.

"I agree with this point." After finishing speaking, Li Yi turned and left.

When Li Yi left, Capello didn't stop, but when he turned around, Capello took a deep look at Li Yi who was leaving.

"I don't know what the two head coaches said on the sidelines?" The TV camera captured this scene very well.

"Facing the world's famous coaches, Li Yi doesn't seem to be stage fright at all." The domestic commentator saw this scene and said it from a completely different angle.

"But it's useless if the head coach is not stage-frightened. The outcome of the game still depends on the players kicking it out on the court," Zhang Lu said in fact.

In terms of the apparent strength of both sides, Cagliari is much worse than Rome, even though there are several top players in the Cagliari team.

Hierro is getting old. Although these two games are in good form and Li Yi's skills have been added, but Hierro's slow turning will show his true colors in this game?Because Montella is the type of striker Hierro is least adept at dealing with.

In the midfield, whether the young Franck Ribery can break through Panucci's defense is also the key to Cagliari's game. As for the striker, in order to defend Toni, Capello let the Greek central defender Dellas, who is 196 tall, start the game.

This tall defender is not an ordinary person. A year later, Greek mythology shocked the entire world of football, and Draas is only the main central defender of this Greek mythology team.

So judging from the starting lineups of both sides, Cagliari's only advantage may be Cech in the goalkeeper. In just three league rounds, Cech has made the whole of Italy realize his excellence.

On the contrary, the Roman goalkeeper is the weakest link in the Roman lineup. Although Pellizzoli performed well, it is a pity that neither Capello nor the Roman fans are very satisfied.

Well, this goalkeeper has a similar name to another Cagliari director, but in Cagliari, with Li Yi's excellence, the director is almost forgotten, including the chairman Mr. Cellino who personally brought him back.

On the court, the captains of both teams had already finished guessing coins. Conte lost to Totti. It is said that the two did not use their eyes to communicate while guessing coins. Of course, there must be nothing good in it.

Although the referee Bolonino couldn't see the meaning in their eyes, and he even doubted whether the two men understood what the other's eyes expressed, but this did not prevent the referee from warning the two captains.

The two captains were warned by the referee before the game started, which undoubtedly indicated that the game was different, and later proved that the referee's warning was prescient.

After the game started, Roma launched an attack. After a few passes, the ball came to Totti.

Therefore, Capello arranged Totti in the position of the front midfielder, and judging from the performance of Roma and Totti in recent years, this arrangement of Capello can be described as a stroke of genius, which completely inspired Totti.

But today, Totti will definitely not feel good, because the Cagliari captain has been eyeing him from the very beginning of the game, and Conte's main task in this game is to stare at Totti.

 It is definitely a painful thing to sit in front of the computer to type in the cold weather
