Chapter 272 The Fatal Pass Shows Its Power for the First Time

The Stadio Olimpico is not owned exclusively by Roma, but is jointly owned by rival Lazio and the same city.

I'm used to professional stadiums, but I'm a bit unaccustomed to playing football in a comprehensive stadium.

The biggest feature of the comprehensive stadium is that there are nine standard plastic tracks between the audience and the football field. However, this is very good news for the visiting team. The auditorium is far enough away from the stadium that the home team fans broke out against the visiting team players during the game. There will be a certain discount for boos.

Of course, this discount will not be too high. After all, Rome's Olympic Stadium can accommodate 85,000 fans.

Roma's style of play has always been full of aggression, and it is often easy to inspire the unruly nature hidden deep in the hearts of the home fans. The cheers and boos are bound to be overwhelming, like a mountain and a tsunami, so Liverpool head coach Klopp is the focus before the game. The players are advised not to be affected by home court factors, and it is OK to play the game as usual.

Li Qing looked around the Olympic Stadium in Rome, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a beautiful arc, and muttered as if to himself: "The feeling of this stadium should not be the same as that of the new Wembley Stadium." The atmosphere is comparable, right?”

The first person to attend the regular press conference before the game was visiting team coach Klopp. When interviewed by the media, Klopp 'praised' the enthusiasm of the home fans and said that his players must play well in the game tomorrow night. Thank you to the Roma fans in the audience.

At the home team's regular press conference an hour later, Di Francesco was full of confidence, saying that the team he coached would definitely play the bloody and offensive football of Roma in the home game, playing a key shot in qualifying for the group of death.

The domestic media in England are very optimistic about Liverpool, who are in good form. Even the local media in Italy are not very optimistic about Roma. However, nothing is absolute. The biggest feature of football matches is that it is full of uncertainty. No one can guarantee that Liverpool, who are in good form, will 100% win in the away game. Defeat Rome.

The day passed quickly. The highlight of the fourth round of the 2017-2018 Champions League group stage when Liverpool was a guest at Roma was on the first day of the Champions League match in midweek as scheduled, which kicked off at 7:45 local time on Tuesday evening. Due to the winter Due to the time difference, the original imperial time of 2:45 a.m. on Wednesday became 3:45 a.m.

There was still an hour before the start of the game, and the 85,000 fans that Rome's Olympic Stadium could accommodate were packed. Because Roma's home fans were red, the entire stadium seemed to be completely surrounded by red.

There were about 3,000 Liverpool fans in the visiting team's stands, so the momentum created was completely incomparable to that of the home team.

Although the Rome Olympic Stadium is a comprehensive stadium, the roars and boos erupted by Roma fans were as violent as a tsunami, making the visiting team players very uncomfortable.

Li Qing, who was warming up on the court, felt like he was trapped in a heated pot, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"I really want them to shut up!"

Li Qing's words were heard by Mane, who was returning from injury. He smiled and said: "Li, as long as you pass a wonderful pass to me, I will definitely shut them up."

"Can you really do that?"

Li Qing didn't panic at all. He was confident after drawing the talent [Fatal Pass] and looked at Mane with a half-smile.

Mane clapped his chest and said confidently: "Of course! I am the best scorer in the team after you!"

"Tch! Don't you take me, the Pharaoh of Egypt, seriously?"

Salah came over to chat.

Firmino was not far behind: "I, Ronaldo II, don't want to lose face?"

Li Qing: "..."

The teasing before the game undoubtedly relaxed the mentality of Liverpool players and set the tone for excellent performance in the next game.

"Beep~"

Laos, the gold medal referee from the Spanish Referees Committee, blew his whistle and announced the official start of the Champions League group match between Roma and Liverpool at home.

"Chinese TV! Tianchao TV! The game we are broadcasting for you now is the live broadcast of the focus game between Roma and Liverpool in the 4th round of Group C of the UEFA Champions League in the 2017-2018 season. The one wearing a red jersey and red pants is the home team Roma. They are broadcasting from The left side of the screen is attacking to the right, and the visiting team Liverpool is wearing a white jersey and white shorts..."

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei narrated the iconic China Channel 5 opening remarks.

"aoaoaooaooaooooooo——"

Roma, sitting at home, had the advantage of kick-off. The Roma fans in the auditorium were hysterical, creating a fanatical home atmosphere. Huge shouts like a mountain roar and tsunami swept the entire stadium instantly, and even the drivers on the main road in the city center a few kilometers away could hear it. heard.

Compared with the lineup at Anfield in the third round, Roma has changed a lot, from a low-key 451 to a 433 with full offensive performance.

The goalkeeper is still Brazil national goalkeeper Alisson, defenders Kolarov, Juan, Fazio and the versatile Florenzi, midfielder Nainggolan, captain De Rossi and Stroman, forwards Shalavidzeko and Perotti.

The official formation given by Liverpool is also 433, with goalkeeper Karius, defenders Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip and Alexander-Arnold, midfielders Wijnaldum, Henderson and Li Qing, forwards Mane and Phil Mino and Salah.

Roma captain De Rossi's ability to pass long passes and control rhythm is among the best in the world. Under his series organization, Roma's offense quickly reached the core of Liverpool's defense.

The ball rolled along the ground towards the left rib of the team’s attack. El Shaarawy made a high-speed run and flicked the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot while running, creating an angle and making a powerful long-range shot.

The ball was so powerful that goalkeeper Karius was very focused. He jumped sideways and blocked the ball with his left palm from the outside of the right goal post.

Corner kick!

El Shaarawy’s shot did not help Roma take the lead in the score, but the Roma fans in the audience still gave him thunderous applause as a reward.

Karius, who made a wonderful save, stood up and roared at his teammates, venting his dissatisfaction. He thought the defensive players were not focused enough.

Wijnaldum knew he was in the wrong and raised his hand to apologize.

Kolarov took a corner kick from the right side of the attack, and Van Dijk overpowered Dzeko to clear the ball, and Liverpool switched from defense to offense.

Li Qing, the core of the midfield, received the ball. Facing Strootman's steal, he neither kicked the ball back nor turned around with the ball. Instead, he faced the ball directly, swung his left foot, twisted his waist and shook his abdomen, and kicked the ball with the inside of his left foot with his back to the attack.

The ball flew diagonally from 30 meters in the middle of Liverpool's defense to the left rib of the attack, and the on-site director switched the camera immediately.

I saw Senegalese striker Mane rushing forward along the left road at high speed, and behind him were Florenzi and Fazio chasing back frantically.

The lead time given by Li Qing was very large, just right for Mane to accelerate, while Florenzi and Fazio were very slow...

Under normal circumstances, Li Qing would definitely not dare to pass like this, but with the talent [Fatal Pass], it was completely different!
