Chapter 659: Captain De Rossi
Extreme fans in Rome are arguably notorious throughout Italy, they are politically leaning far-right fan groups, and Roma fans will even display Nazi flags and Mussolini heads when facing Livorno.
For Yang Fan, a player from 'Red China', and Yang Fan is the captain of Manchester City, he is the biggest threat to the opposing team, so these extreme fans of Roma pointed the finger at Yang Fan and humiliated him in his words.
However, perhaps the fans of Rome have forgotten that since Yang Fan's debut, anyone who provokes and insults him has never escaped Yang Fan's punishment!
Yang Fan is not a master who swallows his anger, he believes in revenge, and he believes in revenge.
Yang Fan, who was angered by the Romans, showed no mercy in his mouth, and he then said in an interview with an Italian reporter: !vici! (I'm coming!I've seen!I've conquered!)" !
I came, I saw, I conquered, it was Gaius Julius Caesar, also known as Julius Caesar, who wrote to the Roman Senate after he defeated Pontic King Farnac II at the Battle of Zela. He wrote the slogan in three two-syllable Latin words.
In 50 BCE, a civil war broke out between Julius Caesar and Gnaeus Pompey over the fate of the Roman Republic. The Senate supported Pompey, but Gaius Julius Caesar decisively defeated Pompey at the Battle of Pharsalus and pursued Pompey to Egypt.
King Pontic Farnak II attempted to take advantage of this opportunity to expand his power, and in 48 BC he marched into Anatolia. But Pompey was killed in Egypt by Ptolemy XIII, who wanted to curry favor with Julius Caesar, who immediately returned to his division and left for Asia. On August 2, 47 BCE, Julius Caesar defeated Farnak II near the city of Zela (present-day Turkey). Julius Caesar then wrote to the Senate: "(I come, I see, I conquer). To demonstrate deterrence!
Yang Fan was a guest in the city of Rome,
But he shouted this famous sentence of Julius Caesar, just like Julius Caesar's intimidation of the Roman Senate more than 2,000 years ago, which immediately caused an uproar.
"Who does he think he is? How dare he compare himself to Julius Caesar!
"Although I admit that he is strong, this time, Yang is clearly too arrogant. ”
Yang Fan's words were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the whole of Italy was fried, and many people jumped out to accuse him.
On the British side, it is clearly on Yang Fan's side, Yang Fan's words are too uplifting, which is understood by the self-proclaimed Britons as the meaning of the Premier League's conquest of Serie A.
The media on both sides launched a war of scolding in the air.
Fans on both sides also began to scold each other.
Even the players on both sides have come out to lash out at each other.
Roma captain Totti accused Yang Fan of being too presumptuous and arrogant, and did not know how to respect a great club.
The Manchester City players defended the captain, saying that it was just Yang Fan's desire to win, and they firmly supported the captain and said that they would fight for victory in the game.
Roma vice-captain De Rossi sarcastically said that Manchester City people were wishful thinking.
The Manchester City people ridiculed each other, saying that Roma City were destined to be contributed by them in the game, and the Romans were waiting to cry their noses.
In the midst of all the distractions, the game finally came.
The two sides kept a tight line as they waited in the tunnel: the Roma players would not chat with the Manchester City players. Manchester City's players will never pay attention to the Roma players around them, and the war of words between the two sides before the game is really hot.
Manchester City's players looked a little more nervous than their Roma counterparts. After all, the vast majority of them were playing such an important game for the first time, and they had no experience.
This is the only time that can make the Roma feel that they are a head above Manchester City, as many of their players have experience in the knockout stages of the Champions League. Although Roma is often a one-day trip to the round of 16 in the Champions League, it is considered to have no fighting spirit and backbone, but it is a regular visitor to the Champions League and can participate in the Champions League almost every season, so Roma also prides itself on being a giant, and they feel that they are one level higher than Manchester City, which is also a reason for the war of words between the two sides before the game.
The player's appearance was the first time at the Stadium in the Olympic Park in Rome. Everyone was shouting the names of the teams and players they supported. The atmosphere suddenly became lively, although it was already a relatively cool night. People are still feeling a wave of heat coming over their faces.
Roma captain Totti did not have today, according to the news on the official Rome website, the wolf king Totti was a little unwell and temporarily sat on the bench, so, today's captain of Roma is De Rossi.
The meme about De Rossi being the captain of Roma is overwhelming and very happy on the Internet.
Just a month ago, Roma captain Totti had just renewed his contract with Roma, and after captain Totti's contract was renewed, Roma midfielder De Rossi joked that his title has always been "Roma's future captain".
Totti, who is about to turn 35, has signed a new three-year contract with Roma.
De Rossi said: "The term 'future captain' has now become a permanent nickname for me and it looks like I need to wear the vice-captain's armband forever. There's only one thing I ask the captain for, and that's to keep winning. Congratulations to the captain on the renewal of his contract!"
Is De Rossi really willing? Only God knows, and this may be more self-deprecating.
After Totti's contract renewal with Roma, Torino Sport also spoofed the incident with design lines:
Design lines:
De Rossi: Can you make me captain next season?
Totti: Wait another year
At the end of each season, De Rossi is like this: Totti is retiring!
De Rossi at the beginning of the second season was like this: Nima, why are you still there!
When Yang Fan saw De Rossi, he also wanted to laugh a little, because he also remembered the joke about De Rossi's captain's armband.
On the commentary bench, the commentator is also very happy, the 23-year-old Manchester City captain Yang Fan, and the stubble uncle De Rossi's Roma vice-president, there is a stark contrast.
Of course, De Rossi was the captain of the field today.
Back to the game.
The captains of both sides pick the side first. Yang Fan first shook hands with De Rossi, and then exchanged team flags. The next result was that Roma were given the right to pick the edge and Manchester City were given the right to kick off. That's a good start.
All the procedures were completed, and the players on both sides stood in their respective halves, while Yang Fan and Dzeko stood in the center circle, stepping on the football and waiting for the kick-off.
Everyone was quiet. Wait for the referee to blow the whistle. For a while, the stadium seemed quiet.
The referee communicated with the two linesmen through a headset, looked at his watch again, and after making sure everything was correct, blew the whistle.
With this whistle, the second leg of the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals officially kicked off!
Rome is a team that insists on attacking, and the origin of Rome's nickname is very simple because of the wolf on their team's mark, the city of Rome is destined to be extraordinary, not only with flying eagles in the sky, but also with wolves on the ground. The name of Totti, the wolf king, has been called for many years, and Fonseca was also nicknamed the Roman wolf child, and the Roman style of play was also named the wolf pack tactic. Indeed, the current Rome is indeed too much like a wolf, whether it is the way of playing, or the fighting spirit, the never-say-die spirit, and the way of relying on collective combat effectiveness, are no different from wolves. And the wolf's bloodthirsty nature was also implanted in the bone marrow of Rome, attacking, attacking, until the opponent was torn apart.
With the return of Yang Fan, this game is considered a classic offensive drama, and it also makes fans look forward to it, but there will always be some deviations between the reality and people's speculation.
The start of the game was rather dull, with both sides testing each other. Attack tentatively to see what kind of tactics the opponent will play in this game.
After all, it was a knockout stage match, and both sides were more cautious.
Yang Fan ended the City attack with a long-range shot, and his shot hit the woodwork, but it was caught by Doni and did not pose any danger. The shot was a little far from goal.
Yang Fan is also trying his feet, and Rome is very strict with him and David Silva. No matter what the situation, at least there will be one person around you who will not leave an inch.
It seems that Ranieri's tactics are still relatively conservative, and Roma intend to stabilize the defense first.
Ten minutes into the game, the two sides had just two shots on goal in total, with Manchester City kicking Roma and kicking them out. Roma's shot on goal was completed by their Italy international striker Julio Borriello. The ball flew straight away and did not pose any threat to Joe Hart's goal.
In charge of defending David Silva is Roma captain De Rossi. He is a well-known fierce player in Serie A, and he is fierce defensively. He used his hands and feet to deal with David Silva, but he couldn't press his whole body up, and in the end it was a foul.
At first, David Silva did make him a little miserable. However, David Silva soon adapted to De Rossi's defense, after all, David Silva had also encountered such a defense, but he was not used to it at first, and slowly adapted.
David Silva passed the ball straight to Dzeko, and De Rossi just pounced on it and then went empty.
Dzeko didn't pass the ball but suddenly broke through with the ball. This was somewhat unexpected by the Roma defenders. His breakthrough caused a brief period of confusion at the Roma backline, and Yang Fan immediately opened up to create an opportunity for Dzeko. Even under such circumstances, Mex, who was in charge of keeping an eye on Yang Fan, did not leave Yang Fan's side at all.
Mex's is the most experienced centre-back in the Roma squad, so let's just say that Mex, although he also has some shortcomings, he is the best candidate to keep an eye on Yang Fan in the Roma backline. At least that's what the Roma manager thinks.
