"This Pan Yi is really a madman!"

At the training base of Roma Football Club, head coach Rudi Garcia couldn't help but sigh after watching the match between Crystal Palace and Chelsea.

Trailing by two goals in the away game, with one less player to fight, they were able to set up a four-forward formation to fight the opponent;

After equalizing the score, he didn't give up on the situation and even put all the troops in the backcourt just to get all three points;

Such a move really made Rudy Garcia can only describe Pan Yi as "crazy".

And Rudi Garcia can also see that this Chelsea team led by a "madman" has players like them who are also "crazy".

Even if there is one less player, even if they have already run for most of the game, when Pan Yi orders a wild attack, they can still run wildly until the final whistle blows.

His sharp attack power, abundant physical energy, and firm will really shocked even Rudy Garcia.

What kind of team is this?

Just the momentum of fighting all the way to death is so admirable.

"So, how should we deal with such a crazy team?" Assistant coach Bumpal also sighed, "Now it seems that our group is really too difficult. If we change to another group, our situation will be different.

It won’t be that hard.”

"Including our two wing-backs, it is also difficult to advance. Roma's full-backs and center Lud Rossi can often quickly recover to their own half. As soon as we attack, we fall into the opponent's defensive quagmire."

From the perspective of Roma's coaching staff, it is now almost an impossible task to prevent Chelsea from winning the first place in the group.

So far this season, the only game Roma has lost and the only game in which they have dropped points is a 2:3 away defeat to Juventus.

The left wing-back is the young Cancelo, while the three central defenders are Terry, David Luiz and Zouma, and the goalkeeper is still Courtois.

Therefore, after only two rounds of play, this so-called "Group of Death" became a "Group of Death" in which the other three teams fought to the death for second place.

Everyone also looked at the screen.

Although they are ranked second in the group, they only have two points and have only played two rounds. This ranking is nothing.

After the game started, Chelsea performed well as always. They controlled the rhythm of the game and the ball early on, and played in the way they are good at and familiar with.

According to normal thinking, if you want to play defensive counterattack, then you must put a fast "speed dog" on the forward line, such as Gervinho in Roma's formation, which is very suitable.

"Is there a star of Totti's level in Crystal Palace? Doesn't De Rossi also have one? And doesn't there have to be a fierce midfielder like Nainggolan?"

The game lasted for more than seventy minutes, and although Chelsea still had the initiative, they were still unable to change the score on the field.

He is also one of the famous representatives of "exceeding others like Messi and shooting Husky"!

When facing Chelsea, Roma's opportunity must be very precious and cannot be squandered.

But in any case, the core of the two 3-back formations are very close.

At that time, Roma deployed a very aggressive 433 formation to fight against Juventus, even when the score was 2:2.

Moreover, today is at Stamford Bridge, the home ground of Chelsea!

It seems that everything is no different from previous games.

Of course, the more important thing is that under the premise that Rudi Garcia is not prepared to invest too many troops in the attack, Totti's long-range shot is much more reliable than Gervinho!

He connected high and low, like a spider web in front of the goal, repeatedly destroying Chelsea's shots and trying to keep the goal.

Roma's defense is now perfectly organized. Although Chelsea's offense is fierce, there are not many absolute chances.

Pan Yi lectured the players at halftime, criticized everyone's loss of attention at the end of the first half, and asked the players to concentrate immediately and get the score back quickly!

At the start of the second half, Chelsea launched a furious attack.

First of all, in the midfield position, Rudy Garcia did not use Pjanic, whom he has trusted this season, but used three midfielders.

But today, it seems more difficult than ever!

"It is also difficult for Oscar and Willian to find a breakthrough on the wing. The two midfielders Nainggolan and Motta often assist in defense and protection on both sides, almost cutting off all our midfield and backfield passing routes to the forwards."

If we can try to draw with Chelsea in the away game, and then try to win one or two games against Dortmund and Sporting CP, the probability of qualifying is still very high.

But Rudy Garcia doesn't think so.

4:0 Leicester City.

But now Rudy Garcia isn't panicking at all.

Carragher on the side reminded: "Brother, you said the same thing when you watched the Crystal Palace last time..."

Scaloni also added:

The more the opponent wants to counterattack, the easier it is for them to reveal fatal flaws.

With the Wolf King on the field, the wolves can exert their greatest power!

Today's game so far is also a demonstration of his character on the court.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

After all, Chelsea's performance is too stable now, and Rudy Garcia has already "decided" that they will almost win outright and qualify.

"But if we can score points against Chelsea, and Chelsea continues to be strong against other teams, our chances of qualifying will become greater." Rudy Garcia narrowed his eyes.

All the four Brazilian internationals who were hidden in the last round of the game are on the field. Today's defensive midfield combination is Mikel and Ramirez, while the forwards are Oscar, Lukaku and Willian.

You know, let’s not talk about whether Gervinho’s speed can break through Chelsea’s defense, even if he does break through...

They sang the team's anthem loudly in the stands and encouraged the players in the stadium.

This is actually a 4-5-1 formation, which is clearly based on defense and counterattack.

"When we visit Stamford Bridge as a guest, we have to let them see what the real Italian team's defense is!" Rudy Garcia said firmly.

"And looking at the game so far, I don't think Chelsea has any particularly good chances. Teams with good offense win fans, but only teams with good defense can win the final game!"

Losing at home is even more unacceptable than losing the game against Crystal Palace!

Pan Yi smiled:

Courtois reacted very quickly and flew to make a save, but in the end it was beyond his reach.

Therefore, compared to Pan Yi's Chelsea, Allegri's Juventus has one less forward and one more midfielder, so it appears more often on the court in a 3-5-2 formation.

superior.

Therefore, Rudy Garcia wanted to give Juventus a try, win over the biggest competitor in one fell swoop, and establish his position at the top of Serie A in one fell swoop.

There is also 3:0 Dortmund.

"What do we do now?"

11 against 10, but there is no advantage in the situation. This kind of thing is impossible to happen in Rome.

4:0Swansea.

Although Totti is relatively slow now and has no physical confrontation ability, he is very experienced and knows when to drop back to receive the ball and when to take a shot.

Roma, like almost all other visiting teams at Stamford Bridge, sought stability at the start and set up the fence first.

Facts also proved that Rudy Garcia's decision was right.

By then, not only Totti, but even speed dogs like Gervinho may also be able to find good opportunities.

Here, it's an extremely rare score.

Lineker smiled and said: "Pan Yi started to make substitutions only after 70 minutes in the last game, and then turned the situation around. Now the game has reached 70 minutes, I think you should just endure it for another 20 minutes."

…”

He also started out leading a weak team, so he naturally knows how to play against a strong team away from home.

Therefore, Rudi Garcia decided to let Totti play as the forward forward, and let Gervinho move to the wing of the midfield to use his speed to contain Chelsea's offensive line.

On the back line, Rudy Garcia did not use two veterans, Maicon and Ashley Cole, but instead lined up a back line of Holebas, Douglas, Mbiwa, and Manolas.

Seeing Pan Yi's smile and hearing his explanation, Holland and Scaloni instantly felt confident.

"At this time, even if Lukaku or the two wingers get the ball, they will always directly face the defense of multiple Roma players, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to fully display their strengths."

That is, no matter how Chelsea attacks, they must always defend their own half, build an unbreakable iron wall at the front of the penalty area, and defend their team's goal to the death!

This is the only thing they can do now.

And he is also very satisfied with his current troop formation.

This made the Blues fans in the stands even more nervous.

And the situation on the field developed exactly as he expected.

"Look at Ashley Cole and Maicon in Crystal Palace. They can definitely play as the main players. But Roma didn't let them play!"

"What we have to do now is to replace some players who can move around on the wing and in the middle, and then..."

The ball was given suddenly, but it was given just right.

But after all, they lack experience in European competitions, and being a fourth-tier team led them to be assigned to this relatively strong group. In the first two rounds, they drew 1:1 with Sporting CP and Borussia Dortmund respectively.

It's just that what he is thinking about now is not the things in front of him, but how to break the situation.

At the front is Wolf King Totti.
