Football: Banned for life, forced to travel to Europe

When Gonzalez woke up in the morning, he was startled by his reflection in the mirror.

Thick dark circles under the eyes, embarrassing beard, and increasingly high hairline... Put on slippers and a hurdle vest, and you can go directly to Da Vinci in "China-made 007".

After replacing Enrique as Roma's head coach, Gonzalez discovered that not everyone can be a head coach. It requires an extremely strong heart, self-confidence, and of course energy.

Before that, Gonzalez also stayed up late with Enrique, studying tactics, arranging training plans, analyzing opponents, and editing personal videos of players. Gonzalez participated in these things and contributed a lot.

For example, the training plan was almost completed by Gonzalez alone, so he dared to stab Enrique in the back and take over as the head coach of Rome himself.

But Gonzalez ignored the pressure of the head coach. It was okay when he first took over and won the Rome derby. But after the match with AC Milan, Gonzalez found that his pressure suddenly increased.

Totti and Wishing were suspended, the team barely drew with Genoa in the away game, and after returning to Rome, the two main defensive players were all injured.

Gonzalez started to panic...

"You... haven't had a good rest yet?" Adrian, the assistant Gonzales had found from Spain, was a little surprised. Gonzales looked like he had been around for a few days.

Gonzalez nodded, then said, "Let's study Novara again."

"Why don't you go to sleep first? Novara has only won one of their nine Serie A games. They are newly promoted, and we will definitely win."

By the way, Novara won one game, two draws and six losses in nine games, and only accumulated five points, ranking first from the bottom. The only game he won was Inter Milan under Gasperini...

Gonzalez was a little annoyed, "The newly promoted must also study, you forgot the plan to grab points? Novara is the team we must win."

The so-called scoring plan is actually a test of Roma's ability to abuse food. In other words, it is a test of the ability of Roma players to break dense defenses.

Only Wish, Totti and De Rossi have this ability in Rome.

And Totti and De Rossi are not very good at breaking dense defenses. All they can use is long-range shots, which depends on luck.Wishing is different. His header and back protection are very important. When the team cannot start the situation, wishing is the big killer.

Wish and Totti were both suspended in the last game, De Rossi was in poor form, and Rome had nothing to do with Genoa's defense. If it weren't for the Genoa defender's distraction in the end, Borriello would not be able to equalize the score.

This plan was thought up by Gonzalez and Adrian after Rome won the Rome derby. The two divided the Serie A teams into three tiers.

The first tier is the top three in the north. Gonzalez believes that the strength of these three teams is stronger than that of Roma. When facing them, they should keep a tie and win as much as possible.

Lazio was also counted in the first team by Gonzalez, not because of Lazio's strength, but because there are too many variables in the derby.

Of course, Inter Milan's performance this year is not very good. They lost five games in nine games and only won two games, which is even lower than Roma's ranking. Ranieri failed to restore the decline.

The second tier is the team that Gonzalez believes is on par with Roma, Udinese, Parma, Naples and Bologna.

These teams are strong contenders for Champions League and Europa League qualification, and each game is a six-point battle.

The other teams are all in the third tier, and in Gonzalez's view, they must win the team.

……

Novara's tactics are really nothing to study. They are 442 defensive counterattacks, and the offense is handed over to the two forwards Jada and former Inter Milan striker Megiolini. These two are speed forwards, and the rush is over.

In this game, Gonzalez also changed his formation and played 343 instead.Facing two speed forwards, Gonzalez arranged three defenders.Heinze dragged behind, Kjaer intercepted, and Gago grabbed it.The two wingbacks Angel mainly attacked, while Rossi defended.

Midfielder Taddei replaced Perotta with muscle soreness, and partnered with De Rossi.The three forwards are Wishing, Pjanic and Bojan.

This lineup may be smashed against a three-forward formation in the Premier League, but it is not so dangerous in Serie A, where the offensive rhythm is slow.

……

At Adrian's suggestion, Gonzalez told the players of his plan, "We started this season very badly, I don't want the team to be empty-handed this season, I want to participate in the Champions League next season, of course it should That's what I thought too."

There was a burst of laughter in the dressing room of Roma. Roma's poor performance in the away game was criticized by the media.

"If we want to enter the Champions League, we must not make mistakes in the next games and strive to grab points. Now we are ranked No.13, and there is still a gap of seven points from No.4. There are still seven games before the winter break. According to My plan is that we need to win at least five of those games to ensure we are in the Europa League before the winter break."

The wish was naturally to support Gonzalez, he didn't want to lose the bet, "Don't worry, coach, we can win all seven games."

Gonzalez smiled, "Since this is the case, from this game on, we will try to get as many points as possible, especially those teams whose strength is almost the same as ours."

The players all agreed, even Bojan was no exception. He didn't care about the life and death of Roma, but if the team wins, the more hope he will transfer, so naturally he won't do badly at this time.

"That's all I have to say. So, boys, go get Novara!"

De Rossi took the responsibility of the vice-captain, he stood up and shouted, "Kill them!"

"Roar!"

As in Benfica, the players let out a roar, then clapped their hands and rushed out of the dressing room.

In the player tunnel, Wishing saw that the referee of the game was Lanke, the fourth official of Roma against AC Milan.

Lang Ke smiled at him when he saw the wish, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in the wish...

As a result, less than 5 minutes into the game, the premonition of the wish came true. It was not Ranke's problem, but Roma conceded the ball.

I don’t know if Gonzalez’s speech was too deceptive. Roma’s players made big moves. Gago brought down Megiolini 2 meters away from the goal in just 25 minutes of the opening and gave Novara A very well placed direct free kick.

Megiolini personally took the penalty, and the football went around the wall and hit the dead corner of the goal, 1-0!Novara, the deputy squad leader of the home game, made a fantastic start.

10 minutes later, Stekelenberg gave a big gift. His big foot clearance was wrong and passed directly to Jada, another Novara striker.

Jada was stunned for a moment, then started to accelerate, passed Stekelenberg, who was eager to remedy his mistake, and scored an empty goal, 2-0!

Gonzalez's point-grabbing plan was just announced, and it looks like it's going to run aground...
