Chapter 57 Serie A Opening Game That night. Enrique and Ivan attend the farewell dinner. They clinked glasses and talked happily. "The big boss told Gao Qi to just play football outside? Applause!" "Enrique will always be a good friend of the Chinese people." "Roma's goal for next season is to be in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, win the Serie A title and the Italian Cup." The Roma coach's face flushed as he gave instructions. Ivan quickly added: "We and the media should not put too much pressure on Gao. He is only 18 years old this year and has a long way to go in the future." Click!

The spotlight flashes. The fate of the famous Italian Serie A coach, Mr. Enrique, and Chinese football has come to a temporary end. competition is over. Gao Qi didn't go anywhere and returned to the hotel quietly. Be self-disciplined. You can't think about going out at night to meet girls. Opening the treasure chest is the important thing. 【Competition settlement in progress】 【Congratulations on receiving: Honor Chest! 】 [Unable to preview the prize pool, random rewards. ] [Honor chest is opening] 【Congratulations on receiving: Beckenbauer's love letter. 】 [Dear Ingrid: I quit my job as an insurance salesman. My father was furious about this, but Mr. Rudy from the Bayern Munich youth team said that I would become a good player. Please believe me, I will work hard.] [Dear Brigitte: Thank you Mr. Chajkovsky for bringing me to the first team, reinterpreting football for me, and giving me the special position of a free man on the field. Please believe me, I love you] Gao Qi: “.” Football Emperor-Beckenbauer, was he so romantic when he was young? On the contrary, the more unruly football saint Cruyff is a good man who treats relationships seriously and loyally. A few days later. Apennines.

First team dormitory area. The young assistant happily embraced a pile of souvenirs that Gao Qi brought back. "Panda dolls, ancient building models, chopsticks!" "I'll pick out the nice ones first, and give the rest to Mr. Sabatini." "Gao, where are you going? I just finished my physical examination!" Gao Qi picked up the football and ran towards the training ground. He came back and was 'lazy' for two days, and his physical condition and jet lag had been adjusted. Can't sit idle. Bah! Bah! Bah! The more violent explosions became, the more scared the birds on the branches scattered. The security guard poked his head out of the guard booth and said: Gao went back to China, so how come his shooting power became stronger after he came back? Gao Qi quickly entered the training state. Shot with the instep of the foot. Curved shot with the inside of the foot. Shot with the outside of the foot. Shoot with the inside of the foot. Lob shot. Toe lob shot. All basic shooting exercises have been practiced. The force of the blast grew stronger and stronger, causing the door frame to shake continuously. 83 points of power under the feet, and the might of a full-force blast, so terrifying! It’s just that it’s difficult to achieve both arc and footwork strength at the moment. Still have to practice! On the second floor of the dormitory, Morata poked his head out sleepily, and was about to complain about something. Upon seeing this scene, he quickly retracted his head. After a while. Gao Qi pressed the inside of his thigh. The body can still withstand this level of load. If the foot strength is above 90 points The days passed by. Stekelenburg and Kjaer described to everyone they met what they saw and heard during their trip to China. "What is Gao's current status in China?" “Superstar!” "He is even more superstar than a superstar. If Gao can score a goal in the Champions League, I can't even imagine the scene!"

"Then shall we go to China again next season?" "If you win the league or cup championship, you have a chance! Every year, the Italian Super Cup is held in the Bird's Nest in China!" The new players and young players who missed the 'China Tour' had longing written all over their faces. the other side. Ivan and the old men in the coaching staff are nervously preparing for the Serie A opening match. The opponent is a familiar old friend - Catania Club. The club has become 'Argentinian', with as many as 11 Argentinian players registered for the new season. The strength they have shown in friendly matches during this period is very strong. 8 month 27 day. The Serie A opening match begins. Olympic Stadium. Tens of thousands of Roma fans were fully prepared, with all kinds of salutes, fireworks, TIFO images, and ship-mounted smoke bombs coming in handy, along with terrifying waves of sound, turning the Eternal City into a devil's home ground. "Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, audience friends." "Now we are broadcasting live the first round of the 2012/13 Serie A season!" "Roma at home against Catania." "Catania FC comes from the second largest city in Sicily, which has been destroyed nine times and reborn nine times." Player channel. Several new Roma players are a little nervous and feel unfamiliar with the intensity of Serie A. Totti could only tell a joke to calm their emotions. Lamela greeted his Argentine fellow countrymen in Catania warmly. He seemed to be back in the Argentine Primera Division: 11 of the opponent's 8 starting players were Argentines, so who were the foreign players? Gao Qi was eager to try. As long as you play in the top five leagues, you can accumulate the number nine and a half bond fragments. The golden treasure chest is secondary, as the probability of getting high-level rewards is getting lower and lower. Command area. Enrique looked at Catania coach Rolando Maran in the distance and felt like he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where. Ivan reminded him, "He has been coaching Serie B teams. Hey, hey, hey, didn't you read the coaching staff's preparation materials? But there is very little information about him. On-the-spot adjustments are too simple." "Then he has no tactical accumulation at all!" Enrique felt relieved and walked back to the coaching seat. During the pre-match press conference, he thought the bald head coach on the opposing team was some big shot.

Italian football was once glorious, and there are many excellent coaches accumulated. "The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides." "Roma's formation is 4-2-4!" "Goalkeeper: Stekelenburg." "Defenders: Florenzi, Kjaer, Castan, Balzaretti." "Midfielders: Pjanic, De Rossi." "Forwards: Lamela, Gao Qi, Osvaldo, Morata!" "Catania's formation is 4-3-2-1!" "Goalkeeper: Andujar!" "Defender: Marchese" The game went to the 6th minute. The Olympic Stadium was filled with a huge sigh. Roma 0:1 Catania. All the audience have not yet reacted. The large LED screen in the air replayed the process of the goal: the opponent easily broke through Roma's midfield barrier, and finally the full-back Marchese cut inside and scored! Is it easy to build a devil’s home field? Enrique! The intensity of the game was high. Lamela was desperately chopped down by his fellow Argentines. Gao Qi was a little overwhelmed at the beginning, as the three defensive midfielders on the opposite side were all big and strong men, and they just rushed forward and collided with him. Fortunately, Catania's defense is still traditional and rough, with many loopholes. Most of the time they shrink in two lines and rely on individual players to squeeze Roma's offensive space. time flies. The Roma players gradually regained their rhythm. 18 minutes. Gao Qi observed his teammates' running tendencies in the 30-meter area and directly pushed the ball into the penalty area! Morata and Osvaldo, who had fully recovered from his injury, jumped at the same time. The former headbutt. The latter is more fierce, a hook! Bah! 1:1! ! !

"Pretty!" "Osvaldo, tie the score!" "With Totti absent, Gao Qi played the role of a number nine and a half for the first time after joining Roma! He launched a powerful attack!" "Will there be a feast of goals tonight?" Tens of thousands of Roma fans at the Olympic Stadium were still immersed in the joy of the goal. They thought the team had woken up and would play a carnage next. A few minutes later, Catania's Argentine gang scored again! 1:2!!! Stekelenburg shook his head helplessly. Keyar held out his hand to apologize. Castan believes that there is a problem with the coach's layout. The 424 formation has a too weak interception network. The following game gradually evolved into an offensive drama. Catania did not squat and defend, but attacked aggressively. Roma has no midfield barrier and almost no midfield transition. Both sides pushed and attacked quickly. The nets on both sides encountered thrilling moments many times, and the goalkeepers on both sides were in tears. 60nd minute of the second half. Gao Qi broke free from the entanglement in the 14th zone and sent a lob. Morata scored with a header. 3:2! ! ! Enrique finally stopped sticking to his football philosophy. "Tahsidis replaces Lamela!" "A defensive midfielder for a striker!" "We should have stepped up our interception efforts long ago." finally. The referee blew the whistle to end the game. Roma 4:2 Catania. Enrique wiped the sweat off his face nervously. Gao Qi did not leave the field immediately, but communicated with several new players about the intensity of the game. VIP box.
