Chapter 60: Another Baggio module? The results of the draw ceremony are all out. Gao Qi finished reading an article on "Mediterranean Family Analysis". No wonder some wives of Serie A players continue to work in the ‘mafia’ no matter how rich they are. It turns out that some Mediterranean families are inseparable, which means: Divide the profits but not the property or the family. Marrying off a son/daughter does not change his/her status and power in the family. Rooney nudged him with his elbow: "Roma's first Champions League group match opponent is Real Madrid. I guess there will be tens of thousands of people scolding you at the Bernabeu. Are you afraid?" Gao Qi smiled. How could I be afraid? There are still two Serie A games to be promoted before heading to the Bernabeu.

The reward for participating in the Champions League games is a platinum treasure chest. Even leaving aside the rewards. He should be excited, too. The passionate Champions League BGM sounded again. The conference hall entered the UEFA Best Player award ceremony. After the FIFA "World Footballer of the Year" and "Ballon d'Or" were merged. UEFA President Michel Platini believes that an additional award should be established to recognize the player who plays for a UEFA club and has the best overall performance in both club and national team in the previous season, regardless of his nationality. Main stage. Messi, Ronaldo and Iniesta came on the field one after another and immediately became the focus of the audience. The shortlist caused little controversy. Messi, 50 goals and 19 assists in La Liga in a single season, 14 goals and 5 assists in the Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo scored 46 goals and 11 assists in La Liga in a single season, 10 goals and 3 assists in the Champions League, and Real Madrid won the La Liga championship with 100 points. Iniesta, the core player of the defending European Cup champion and the European Cup MVP. "Now I announce that the UEFA Player of the Year 2012 is Iniesta!" clap clap. There was thunderous applause. Iniesta happily hugs Messi. The director's camera immediately cut to Ronaldo's face, without capturing any topic material. The Real Madrid superstar, who had a strong desire to win, was smiling and applauding with the audience. The media reporters had no choice but to turn their attention to the fourth candidate: Pirlo.

If Italy instead of Spain won the 2012 European Cup, Pirlo would most likely have won the UEFA Best Player award. As well as Balotelli, who has amazed the world, his status in football will also rise. Madrid. Real Madrid's local fans are excited. The smell of alcohol filled the air. The cup banged hard against the wooden table. "Does that kid think he'll be alright if he hides in the Apennines?" "He will pay the price at the Bernabeu!" "Unless he is a coward and doesn't dare to participate in the competition!" Click! The lighter ignited the red and yellow No. 23 Roma jersey. There were bursts of applause from the crowd. Immediately afterwards, Gao Qi’s poster was also burning. The blazing flames reflected many fanatical faces. The vulgar singing echoed in the night. The Champions League group draw ceremony has come to an end. Of course Gao Qi did not go "shopping" with Rooney, but flew back to Rome overnight with the club staff. Got off the plane. The night wind is cold. The assistant had a mysterious expression on his face and said, "Gao, Bella told us that although you are not well-known now, she believes that you will shine on the Champions League stage." Ivan showed a puzzled expression: "Not famous? Gao is very well-known in the Eternal City and China, right?" Everyone laughed. Of course, looking at the entire European arena, Gao Qi, who has never played a Champions League game and only played half a season in Serie A, can be said to be "unknown" for the time being compared to other famous stars. Enrique looked confident: "No one can resist Roma's offensive! My goal is to qualify as the first in the group!" time flies. The style of Serie A has quietly changed this season. Teams including Roma, Naples, Fiorentina, Udinese and AC Milan launched an offensive storm. Full firepower, goal-scoring competition! Defense? That was the way to play in the last version.

On September 9, the entire Roma team arrived at the northern foot of the Apennine Mountains, Emilia Romagna! They will challenge Felcinelli-Bologna Football Club. The club has a rich history and has won seven Serie A titles and two Italian Cup titles. The bus shuttled through the red buildings. Morata asked curiously, "What is that round tower used for?" Ivan patiently explained: "Those big families built them specifically to supervise their own territories. Do you see that taller town hall building? In order to consolidate his rule, Mussolini ordered that all families' towers could not be built higher than the town hall." "Mussolini later felt that the big families in the Apennines were too annoying and dared to tell him what to do, so he wiped them out." "Why haven't the big families here revived? Impossible." "Bologna was still a strategic stronghold. Any unstable factors would be eliminated, leaving only a group of families doing garbage collection." Everyone suddenly realized. No wonder a group of old men always say: If Mussolini had died before 1939, he would be the great man of the Apennines. The afternoon sun made the Dallara Stadium extremely hot and stuffy. The 20,000 spectators in the stands felt like they were in a furnace. The gradually weakening cheers made the home advantage disappear completely. "ESPN! ESPN! Good evening, everyone." "We are now broadcasting live the second round of the 2012/13 Serie A season." "Bologna vs. Roma." "A long time ago, Bologna owner Garzoni concocted a 22-page accusation against Roma for overpaying players and exposing the phenomenon that the Roma owner gave houses and cars to players through other companies under his control." "Roma also started to fight back at that time: in 1993, Bologna went bankrupt and only Garzoni participated in the club auction." "After many years, the ridiculous feud between the two clubs has long since disappeared with the change of club owners." Player tunnel. The atmosphere is harmonious. De Rossi and Gilardino shook hands and hugged. Good partners who won the 2006 World Cup together. The quiet and introverted Bologna striker seemed a little shy at the moment. In the early stage of his career, Gilardino was described by the Italian media as having the strength of Vieri and the sense of smell of Inzaghi, and was the future of Italian football. later. His fighting style gradually became that of Taro Misaki in "Captain Tsubasa".

Gold support. Assist Sheva, assist Ronaldo, assist Kaka. Accompanied by the referee's whistle. The game officially begins. Bologna did not park the bus, but instead attacked Roma. Head coach - Pioli has been a bit neurotic in the past two years. Last season, he was so nervous that he was shaking, shouting, and twitching on the sidelines that the referee asked him to go to the stands and receive treatment from the team doctor. The tactics that Pioli arranged at the beginning of this season also abandoned his strong defensive counterattack and focused on offense. The scene became more and more intense. Gilardino is extremely brave, as if he is cheating! The fans seemed to have forgotten the scorching heat and their noise grew louder and louder. "Bologna doesn't have too many troops to restrict Gao Qi between the two lines. It's a smart play. The troops are concentrated to block the end point." "Coach Pioli stood on the sidelines with his hands behind his back, as if to say: Gao Qi, you can pass the ball as you like. If you score, I lose." "Pretty!" "The ball is in!" "Gao Qi assists Osvaldo! Roma breaks the deadlock!" "Pioli, you are really going to lose again!" Gao Qi himself played very easily, but it was not easy for other teammates on the front line. Bologna doesn't care about the disconnect between the midfield and backcourt. Block the end point but not the starting point. An unusually bold arrangement. But in return, we gain the best efficiency in the transition offensive phase. five minutes later. Bologna equalized the score. 1: 1. Gilardino rushed to the sidelines and performed the classic "playing the violin" celebration. The Roma defense was in tears. Castan held his head in frustration. He was very smart, but his partner failed to keep up with the rhythm, which easily led to inconsistency in defensive thinking. Keyar raised his hands in apology. "The essence of Pioli's tactics is to make the full-backs the starting point of the attack."

"The full-backs move inwards to organize the tandem." "Multiple people in the midfield and frontcourt run sideways at the same time to cover the ball path." "I heard that even Guardiola is studying this style of play." 54 minutes. Bologna completed the reversal. 2:1! ! ! Goalkeeper Stekelenburg buried his head in his knees in shame. He kind of misses last season's Argentine veteran Heinze, who would not let the opponent act recklessly on the wing. Pioli was so excited that he danced with joy, and the team doctor quickly came over. The Roma coaching staff looked at both sides of their own defense line with helplessness. The game resumes. Both sides did not stop or slow down and continued to attack desperately. The physical strength of the players on the field burned quickly like a match. Attack! Keep attacking! As the sun sets, the red tower and red arched windows set off the passionate score on the LED screen. 3:4! ! ! The fans' cheeks were flushed and their crazy cheers did not stop until the last moment. Beep! Beep! The referee blew the whistle to end the game. The big screen showed the number of the best player: Gao Qi, one goal and one assist. The Serie A media on the sidelines were writing furiously in their notebooks, vying to pass on the game situation to the newspapers: the Roma genius performed stably, and in just two games of the new season, he had a highlight performance with one goal and three assists. If he continues to maintain this state, he will be the rising supernova of Serie A. "Renaissance, the Eternal City's Alternative Number Nine and a Half." Gao Qi was so tired that he lay down on the grass. He stretched out his hands to block the setting sun, and the grass in his sight seemed to be covered with a layer of golden gauze. I was kicked until I was almost exhausted. Sometimes, playing against mid- and lower-level teams is even more tiring. Several veteran players from Roma and Bologna all suffered cramps. Courtside. Enrique survived the disaster and is now in high spirits.

The Roma coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief: the defensive problem has not been solved, but fortunately the firepower on the offensive end is fierce. The bus slowly drove out of Bologna. Away from the noise. Passing by the Gelato University, the blue and white fairy-tale buildings made the young Roma players feel curious. Gao Qi couldn't help but want to take a few more glances. The system prompt sounded quietly. 【Competition settlement in progress】 [Wonderful offensive combing, reward: Little Rooster Fragment*1. ] He quickly put away the second piece of the rooster fragment. [Congratulations on receiving the Bologna Gold Treasure Box during the Serie A League rewards distribution. 】 [Prize Pool Preview:] [Baggio's "off-ball reception" module (incomplete)] [Baggio's "fixed-point movement" module (incomplete)] [Baggio's "push shot" module (incomplete)] [Baggio's "Inside Instep Shot" module (incomplete)] [Baggio's "outside foot shot" module (incomplete)] 【.】 what? All Baggio modules! It turns out that the more difficult the competition, the greater the reward. [Congratulations on obtaining Baggio's "Shooting Experience" module when opening the gold treasure chest. ] [Additional attribute added: Shooting +3.] [Baggio transferred to Bologna. In order to forget the unpleasantness of the past, he cut off his iconic braids and mastered the art of shooting on the southern edge of the Po River Plain and the northern foothills of the Apennine Mountains.] In the achievement bond template of number nine and a half, the stone slab with Baggio's name printed on it, the originally faint light suddenly increased a few points and turned into a gentle stream of light spread on the stone slab. Time is like Ivan's hair, gone forever. Gao Qi didn't go anywhere and concentrated on preparing for the match at the Bernabeu. The various attributes enhanced by the talent module are slowly improving. He didn't want to work so hard, but the upper limit of his original attributes was only 69 points. If he didn't persist in training, he might not reach the peak of the talents of "Tyrant" and "Wolf King" until he retired. The entire club is also working hard to help the players prepare.

Nutritionists optimize recipes. The fitness trainer reduces the intensity. Analysts stayed up all night studying the detailed adjustments made by their opponents in the new season. The young assistant postponed the filming of the beer commercial to the end of September and no longer brought game discs and DVDs to the first-team dormitory. Sabatini rejected all discussions on charity events and commercial advertising, and the Roma club's jersey signing session was cancelled. Trigoria training base. Ivan shouted loudly: "A big war is imminent, high-intensity strength training is prohibited!" The 90-minute training method of the K-style school is also divided into small pieces of fragmented time. Enrique no longer interferes with the coaching staff's tactical arrangements: he is a well-known anti-Madridist and has been criticizing Real Madrid for many years. It would be a very shameful thing if they suffered a crushing defeat at the Bernabeu. Newspapers were not idle either. The Madrid media and the Roman media mocked and attacked each other. "Real Madrid's abandoned son suffered a nightmare at the Bernabeu!" "The new star of Rome sinks the galactic battleship!" Rest phase. Roma players gathered on the sidelines to drink water. Morata picked up the newspaper that Ivan used to pad his butt, took a closer look, and suddenly his expression became serious. He sighed and said, "I never thought that I would become a topic of quarrel between the two clubs." Totti, who was about to tell a joke, couldn't help but twitch his mouth. De Rossi patted Gao Qi's thigh and said firmly: "Don't be afraid, you are not alone facing the Bernabeu." The third round of Serie A. Inter Milan 1:0 Roma. At the Meazza Stadium, the fans of the Nerazzurri were overjoyed. Enrique went into the passage dejectedly. Ivan attended the post-match press conference on behalf of the Roma coaching staff. The Serie A media did not blame the loss of this game, but instead raised questions about the first Champions League match. “We went through a massive rotation in this game.” "All the main players have had enough rest and they will go to the Bernabeu in the best condition!"
