Reza legend in Italy that the Magi were lost on their way to Bethlehem in bringing their presents to baby Jesus. In his attempt to return to the right path sought help from an old woman, the Witch Befana, but it denied relief on the grounds that he had a lot of work at home. Regretting the decision he had taken off in search of their Majesties with a basket full of candy, but never found them. In your search, gave such sweet children in each house that was his way, hoping that one of them was the baby Jesus. Since then, riding her broom, the witch Befana visits every January 6 children from Italy that have been good to deliver his presents. They should not have behaved badly in the Olympic Stadium in Rome, because this year will have a good gift: the Giallorossi may not be the most consistent team of calcium and the top candidate for the title, but the whole of Zdeněk Zeman is one of the Great teams, if not the most, Series A.
And what makes the hand of Italian-Czech veteran coach, who lives his second spell at the club after a bittersweet capital step in the nineties. No wonder then that Rome is the highest scoring team in the championship, their parties offer a number of goals and that La Loba only one party is complete without scoring after 18 rounds played (the 1-0 defeat at Chievo) . And is that the Roma do not mind conceding a couple of goals if they put three or four. Zeman's teams have always been known for it, for attacking football, to seek prior of goal to defend itself. Stranger in Calcium, as it was in 1998 when he denounced the practice of doping in Italian championship with Juventus being the focus of their criticism. He lost that trial and pointed a shaking machine.
Small Obrador great miracles, small budgets and memorable deeds, to the small and big giant ridicule. He did this in Foggia Petrescu, Shalimov, Kolyvanov, Signori or Chamot, then unknown. At Foggia was known as Zemanlandia. He also noted a modest Lecce with two young talents called Bojinov and Vucinic. He also had his failures, of course, as their foreign adventures in the Fenerbahçe and Red Star. His last major success was last year in Pescara, where he rose to a team that practiced a cheerful and colorful attacking football where young talent highlighted as Verratti (which became listed prior Prandelli for the Euro), Immobile or Insigne, now shine in PSG , Genoa and Napoli respectively.
That victory earned him to be signed by the Rome where Luis Enrique left the bench after a bad season he left the team out of European competitions, the minimum required by the American family that had acquired the club to the Sensi family after 17 years front of it. For this company had made a strong disbursement players like Lamela, Osvaldo, Pjanic and Bojan. It was no exception this year, investing more than 30 billion euros in change midsole mainly very young players, and just down the young Borini (Liverpool) could be considered of significant importance.
It seems clear that Di Benedetto family looking for a profile offensive to Roman club bench: first fought and then Zeman. And the fact is that the numbers say that, at this stage of the season, the team has only four points Zeman more than a year ago Luis Enrique, but the feelings are certainly different and we see a team that is improving. This was the last weekend, when Roma beat Milan (who had won four straight) 4-2 in Olympic go into halftime after winning by 3-0. The set of Trigoria Rossoneri swept the map based on attacking football full of pace, led by magnificent Totti and Lamela, before which the slow cadence of Milan could do nothing.
And is that the great captain deserves a separate chapter: The King of Rome is not dead (the King of Rome is not dead) read the banners of the Olympic Stadium: at 35 years, Francesco Totti is still the team leader of your life and, although it is not accompanied by the physicist as before, one of the most talented footballers of Calcium. He's played second striker, center forward the screenplay requires winning a Golden Boot in 2007, and now, with Zeman, listed to the left, where the center seeks to find the goal or the assist. Totti, which coincided with Zeman in the nineties, appears to have turned the difficult years lived with Luis Enrique. However, it is now the other major club idol, Daniele De Rossi, who seems to have a good relationship with the coach, who has already sitting on the bench repeatedly unleashing rumors about a future transfer.
So Zeman plays Rome
It is inevitable to talk about how a team plays Zeman and not to mention the 4-3-3 formation that always accompanied him and installed on their computers: Geometry, as he calls it. Forward defense area and constantly looking offside, and search rival pressure balloon of goal above all else. Because this defense system, Zeman goalkeeping like they know what they do with their feet, and it is this reason that Stekelenburg, the Dutch goalkeeper good that came from Ajax, is now deputy after having taken office on Uruguayan Goicoechea, it took an injury to his partner to stay with the goal Giallorossa. Its huge performance last weekend against Milan confirms that it is a goalkeeper with future and already rumored Stekelenburg output.
The sides came this summer: to the right the Paraguayan Piris, and Balzaretti thing left is runner-up in Europe with Italy and sometimes opponent plays more than himself. Last year, Luis Enrique had several problems in central defense as Heinze, Juan and Kjaer not had a good season, repeatedly pulling De Rossi for the position, something noted by Prandelli for the Euro good results. However, for this year joined the Brazilians Castán and Mark, who joined veteran Argentine recovery Burdisso rid of headaches for Zeman: the center of defense is well covered. Special mention Mark, who was only 18 years it has become the starting job with becoming one of the revelations of the Serie A.
The midfield is the area that has seen more rotations. A put is the American Bradley, globetrotter who has played in Holland, Germany and England and arrived in summer from Chievo. A player who brings a lot of balance to the midfield. The talented Pjanic has become a regular place in the last days, and the young squad Florenzi was another of the revelations coming to the Azzurri debut last November. Florenzi is a very complete midfielder: Fits to any place in the middle, is sacrificed on the defensive and has good arrival. The Greek Tachtsidis has also played many matches holder and Daniele De Rossi already discussed their differences with Zeman, although he started the final victory against Milan and also played a good game. His recovery for the cause would be great news for the club and certainly a joy to the tifosi. The veteran Perrotta, world champion in 2006, and the Brazilian Marquinho are, meanwhile, the usual sequels.
In the three posts is the magic attack with Lamela heeled right and left Totti. The Argentine is uncovering this year after a first season of adaptation and has 10 goals in 14 games, besides contributing their talents to the frontcourt. Osvaldo is usually the center forward and has received a wake-up call by Zeman, but still a killer and accumulated nine goals in 13 games. The promising youngster Mattia Destro, who paid for eleven million last summer, is another common option in attack.
Who knows how it will end this season Roma, what seems clear is that the show at the Olympic is served: Zdeněk Zeman has served as the witch Befana and it has provided.
