season, Monza with the background of AC Milan former boss Galliani was ambitious. This team made a lot of signings in the summer, and the team also spent tens of millions of euros to strengthen. However, after the start of the new season, the team lost four consecutive games and conceded 11 goals in four games, becoming the lowest ranked team.
In the fourth round, Monza lost to Roma 0-3, and the defense of "Little Milan" became a sieve in this kind of game. Under the devastation of Roma's fierce offensive, Monza's defender retreated again and again, but still could not prevent the goal.
16 minutes, Abraham's midfielder fought for the top and let the ball go forward. Dybala took the ball and strode forward. The short midfielder Sensi chased all the way, but was still left behind by Dybala. The players who came to cover did not block Dybala's shot. At the moment of shooting, Sensi fell to the ground to tackle in despair. Dybala shot into the lower right corner of the goal before he touched the ball.
Later, Dybala's follow-up shot caused everyone in the Monza penalty area to overturn. They tried their best and still could not prevent Xiao Moxian from scoring the 100th goal of his Serie A career.
In addition to these two goals, Dybala's mid-range shot in the second half hit the goal frame, but it was a pity that the angle was too positive and was resolved. Later, Abraham worked alone all the way. When facing an empty goal, his shot hit the defender's leg and bounced off the baseline, which also gave Roma a corner kick opportunity. Afterwards, Roma player Ibañez received a header from Pellegrini's corner kick, turning the score into 3-0.
Belotti, who came on the scene in the last 10 minutes, also had a chance to shoot from close range, but he missed the opportunity after being out of action for a long time. If it were Belotti last year, this goal would probably have been scored. In addition, the Monza goalkeeper made a stunning save in the upper left corner in the second half.
If it were not for the efforts of the goalkeeper and the poor luck of the Roma players, the score of this game might have been 5-0 or more. In the whole game, Roma hit the target 8 times out of 15 times, while Monza hit the target only 1 time out of 13 times. There were three yellow cards in Monza and no one in Roma, which shows the one-sided trend of the game. Data like
may also show that Monza's offensive efficiency is indeed not high. They played against two mid-to-lower teams, Torino and Udinese , and both lost 1-2 in the end. They didn't score a goal against Turin until near the end. When playing against Udinese, the team failed to maintain the lead and was quickly equalized by the opponent and achieved a lead.
When facing , Naples, and Roma, they were completely helpless. Against Naples, the opponent took 22 shots, 5 of which were on target and ultimately converted into 4 goals. You can't win against a weaker team, but you can only lose miserably against a strong team. Monza has been unable to score points in four consecutive games. They are currently ranked last in the standings.
Cremona, which has not invested much in the summer and is also a newly promoted team, scored 4 goals in the game, 2 goals more than Monza. Another newly promoted team, Lecce , still has one point, and the team has one game less. Their condition is better than Monza. Before the start of the season, the boss of Monza was still clamoring to lead the second half of the standings, meaning to reach the middle of the league. However, at present, the ideal is very fulfilling and the reality is very skinny. It may be better for them to position their goal as relegation.
