Chapter 528
With four main players absent, what will Stewart do? Stewart quickly gave his answer.
"The appearance ceremony is over."
"The starting lineups of both teams have already stood in their respective half."
"Let's take a look at Manchester City's lineup first."
"Starting goalkeeper: James!"
"Defenders: Bale, Distin, Dunn, Sun Jihai!"
"Double defensive midfielders: Su Fei, Barton!"
"Double forwards: Musampa, Knight!"
"Double forwards: Cassano, Podolski!"
"Su Fei!!"
"He was actually arranged as a defensive midfielder in this game?!"
"Stuart's extremely bold position arrangement!"
"There is no shortage of extremely versatile players who can play multiple positions in football."
"But Su Fei has always been the starting central striker since he joined Manchester City."
"Even during the Croatian national team."
"Although Su Fei often contributes some wonderful defensive performances in the game."
"But it's still too bold."
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Wang Tao and Zhan Jun looked at each other, both of them were shocked.
If this wasn't the Champions League quarterfinals.
Both of them must have thought that Stewart was joking, but this is not only an important Champions League match.
Manchester City is also facing the absence of four main players.
You have to think about the deep meaning behind Stewart's arrangement this time.
Could it be.
Can Su Fei really play as a defensive midfielder?
Let's not talk about anything else.
Su Fei's confrontation, burst and position sense are indeed top-notch.
Thinking about it this way.
It seems that there is indeed some explanation.
But what is the specific effect.
We still have to see it in the actual game.
"The other side."
"Visiting team, wearing red, Roma!"
"Starting goalkeeper: Doni!"
"Defenders: Marco Cassetti, Philipp Mexes, Chivu, Panucci!"
"Three midfielders: Williamson, David Pizarro, De Rossi!"
"Three forwards: Totti, Vucinic, Mancini!"
"4-3-3! Roma, currently trailing 0:3, has deployed an offensive 4-3-3 lineup with parallel midfield positions."
"Based on the formations of the two teams."
"It can be predicted that today's game will be an offensive and defensive battle with Roma attacking and Manchester City defending!"
-[Damn, what are you doing? Su Fei plays as a defensive midfielder? Will he play as a goalkeeper next time? ]
-[I thought about what Manchester City might do today, 9-0-1, with five defenders playing as turtles. I really didn't expect that there was a possibility of putting Su Fei in the defensive midfielder. No wonder Stuart can be the head coach. 】
-[Uh....I have always believed that Stuart is the worst coach among all the Premier League champions in all these years. If he really lets things go wrong today and is defeated by Roma, he will not only be the worst coach among all the Premier League champions, but the worst coach in the whole of England. 】
-[Keep steady, just stay steady. It is inevitable that Roma will score goals today. If they lose two goals less, they will advance. After all, Roma needs to score 4 goals. 】
.................................................
On the court, the referee started to look at the watch and prepared to blow the whistle.
The Roma players saw Su Fei appear in the position of defensive midfielder. After a brief shock, they quickly adjusted their state.
In their opinion.
This is a helpless move made by Manchester City with many main players absent.
It also shows that Manchester City is afraid in disguise.
Yes, that's right.
With many of their main players absent, they can only put the tall Su Fei in the position of defensive midfielder to make up for the defensive loopholes.
On the sidelines, Roma head coach Spalletti's thoughts.
It's similar to the players' thoughts.
Although Stuart's arrangement was beyond his expectations, the absence of four main players of Manchester City was real.
No team can maintain the original defense in the absence of two main defenders and a main defensive midfielder.
No team can do it!
This is the source of Spalletti's self-confidence.
Not far away.
Stuart crossed his hands in front of his chest, expressionless, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.
In fact, the old man was very panicked.
It was not his own idea to let Su Fei play as a defensive midfielder, but Su Fei took the initiative to propose it in the locker room half an hour ago.
That's right.
It was Su Fei who took the initiative to ask for the position of defensive midfielder.
And what Stuart can do.
Is to agree to Su Fei and trust Su Fei 100%.
In the stands.
Fifty-five thousand Blue Moon fans, with different expressions and different mentalities.
The absence of four main players.
The fans have a sense of crisis, and Su FeiPlaying as a defensive midfielder, the fans felt even more confused.
Everyone was curious.
What will happen next in this game....
..............................................
Beep!
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
Roma has the ball.
Vucinic passed the ball horizontally to Totti on the left side, and Williamson accelerated his run and passed Musampa.
Totti faked a pass.
He sent the ball from Musampa's left side to Williamson's feet.
Williamson dribbled the ball to start.
"The game just started!"
"Roma showed a very positive offensive attitude!"
"They started to make a move on the left side!"
"Totti and Williamson had a tacit understanding in the wall-to-wall cooperation, and successfully sent Williamson with the ball to the front court."
"Manchester City faced Roma's offensive."
"They did not adopt aggressive high-pressure tactics, but retreated the front line and shrunk the formation to deal with it."
Williamsson came to the front court and wanted to rush to the bottom line.
But the sudden appearance of Su Fei interrupted his plan. Su Fei's speed of defense exceeded his expectations. Williamson, who was 1.77 meters tall, stopped the ball and faced Su Fei, who was 1.92 meters tall. The height disadvantage made Williamson feel a sense of oppression from Su Fei. Williamson suppressed his impulse to challenge and waited for other teammates to get into position. But Su Fei didn't want to give Williamson a chance. He went straight to the ball, got close to Williamson, and stretched out his foot to try to steal the ball while confronting. Williamson pulled the ball back with his right foot to avoid the steal. But in the next second, when he was about to pass the ball, Su Fei rushed over. The huge impact made Williamson's eyes black and he lost his balance instantly. The football under his feet was also destroyed. Musampa behind Williamson was quick-eyed and quick-footed. He rushed forward and gave up the ball that the boss had taken like a bandit. In the ESPN live broadcast room, Wang Tao's eyes lit up.
"Beautiful!!"
"One-on-one steal from Su Fei!"
"Helped Manchester City to steal the ball back."
"Tao'er."
"You're right."
"Su Fei's confrontation ability has a little bit of the shadow of Beast Waist."
"Teacher Zhan Jun, I agree!"
"Su Fei's counterattack was very hard, without any hand movements, it was simply a close confrontation after an instant burst, which made Williamson lose his balance!"
"It really has the flavor of Beast Waist."
Seeing the first clues on the court, Spalletti frowned slightly off the court, feeling that something was wrong.
Stewart's eyes flashed with a look.
You're right.
There's something, Su!
