It has been said that every human being has a city in his heart.

In the world of football, there is a person living in every city.

Raul in Madrid, Steven Gerrard in Liverpool, Maldini in Milan......

These people are using their careers, and even their own lives, to write a story of loyalty.

And the man who lived in the city of Rome was named Francisco Totti, nicknamed: The Wolf King!

……

For Totti, Yang Yang has admired it for a long time, but he has never been in contact with it.

Many people may think that he is not famous enough, but he is definitely one of the best superstars in this star.

At least, in Yang Yang's mind.

Totti had the opportunity to join Real Madrid, and was even very close to Real Madrid at one point, but he chose to stay in Rome, much to the shame of many, as he could have achieved better.

But this sentiment made Yang Yang admire him even more, because he knew very well how difficult it was to reject Real Madrid, and it could even be said that this was a temptation that all professional players could not refuse.

Staying or leaving is a choice worthy of respect, but Yang Yang admires this person even more.

Therefore, in an interview with the media before the game, when the reporter mentioned Totti to Yang Yang, Yang Yang's first reaction was, "I grew up watching Totti's game." ”

It's a bit of a joke, but it's not, because Totti is 30 years old and he's been playing professional football for more than a decade.

As for Totti, Yang Yang also expressed his respect, he believes that Totti is a great player, and said that he is proud to be able to compete with such a player.

'When I saw Totti at Anfield, I would just say to him, 'Welcome to Liverpool!'

……

Perhaps because of Yang Yang's pre-match remarks, with a kind of respect for his predecessors, Totti also said in an interview with the media, "Yang Yang is already a great professional player, I expect him not to play too well, because we look forward to beating them away!" ”

However, Totti also said that this is the first time that Roma have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League in more than 20 years, and the players are seriously inexperienced, especially in the knockout stages of playing English teams away, so Totti said that a draw is a good result.

'I prefer to see this as a smooth journey, where we played normally and got the results we deserved, and of course, if we want to make the fans happy then we need to do more and better.'

……

In contrast to the friendship between Yang Yang and Totti, the atmosphere between Benitez and Spalletti is full of gunpowder.

Speaking to the media, the Liverpool boss said, "Yang Yang is the best player in the world, even though he is only 20 years old. ”

Spalletti said, "I don't know much about Yang Yang, on the contrary, I think Totti is better than anyone else!" ”

But soon, the Liverpool boss said, "Totti? He's really strong, but I'm more worried about De Rossi and Roberto Mancini, who are the most dangerous players for Roma. ”

Spalletti also said that he would not develop targeted defensive tactics for Yang Yang.

"Maybe some teams will do that, but we're more inclined to defend as a whole, and we won't change our game strategy because of one player on the other side, even if it's Yang Yang!"

……

The smell of gunpowder before the game between the two sides was very strong.

The media in both countries have also created momentum, and the Milan Sports Newspaper specially conducted a round of PK battles for the wife group before the game, allowing all fans to vote openly.

Among them, on the back line, Roma central defender Ferrari's girlfriend is the Italian red-red Venezuelan supermodel Aida Jespica, she has even hooked up with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, and is nicknamed a vixen beauty by Italians.

Therefore, in this round, Liverpool was undoubtedly defeated, and Ferrari's girlfriend scored as high as 95 points.

In terms of midfield, both teams failed to choose a good candidate, Roma chose the girlfriend of Swedish midfielder Wilhelmsson, she is a beautiful girl idol in Sweden, and the netizen rating has also reached 75 points.

Gerrard's girlfriend Curlan is highly praised in the UK, but it obviously does not fit the aesthetics of Italian fans, so he only scored 75 points, which can be regarded as a tie between the two sides.

On the front line, Wolf King Totti's girlfriend Brasi is very popular in Italy, and her rating is as high as 90 points, ranking second in the Roma wife group.

As for Liverpool, Crouch's wife Clancy has also attracted a lot of popularity with the popularity of the World Cup in Germany, but in the team, Yang Yang's girlfriend Su Ye ranks first in the Liverpool wife group with a photo of the Zurich award ceremony.

Previously, after she appeared at the FIFA awards ceremony with Yang Yang, she was quickly reported and paid attention to by the media around the world, and when the Milan Sports Newspaper voted on the official website, in just two weeks, Su Ye got a score of 99 points, which was almost perfect.

Not only is it the highest score, but it is also the largest number of voters, which is well deserved.

In a review of the Milan Sport newspaper, the editors of the newspaper in the fashion capital of Europe commented, "Many people think that there is a great difference between Chinese and Western aesthetics, but in fact, the real beauty is the same." ”

"It's like the Chinese like Monica Bellucci, and the Italians like Suye."

Although Su Ye finally won the first place, in the selection of Milan Sports Newspaper, the Liverpool wife group is still slightly inferior.

The Milan sports newspaper is to encourage Roma, believing that the wife group has overwhelmed the opponent, and Roma should kill Liverpool on the pitch and strive for further progress.

……

But it is clear that for Roma, who have not reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for 23 years, Liverpool, who eliminated the favourites Barcelona in the round of 16, are undoubtedly their toughest opponents so far this season.

…………

April 3, Anfield Stadium, Liverpool.

When the international referee from Slovakia, Rubes Mitchell, rang the bell for the second time, Gerrard slowly walked out of the home dressing room with the Liverpool players.

Yang Yang walked at the back of the line, which is what he has always been used to.

Every Liverpool player who walks up the narrow staircase to walk up the tunnel will habitually raise his hand and pat the sign at the top of the tunnel that Shankly left "This is Anfield".

Tall people like Crouch bend down and bow their heads and reach out to pat them, while short people like Aurelio who are 1.78 meters only need to tiptoe a little to get it.

It's a routine before every Liverpool game.

Yang Yang was no exception, and when he passed by, he raised his right hand and patted it.

It seemed to him, he thought, as a way of telling everyone that the game was about to begin, and that they were about to enter the arena of endless death.

……

Arriving at the entrance of the players' tunnel, the Roma players were already standing in a team here.

The players of both teams are from all over the world, and although they are not familiar with each other, they all greet each other politely.

In European football, especially the four major leagues, it is not big or small, and God knows when, they will transfer to each other as teammates, so off the pitch, they are more polite to each other.

Ziwu is Roma's central defender, but he was born in Ajax and was the captain of Ajax before, but in the summer when Yang Yang joined Ajax, he transferred from the Netherlands to Roma, so he is not familiar with Yang Yang.

But with this level of Ajax's relationship, the two have some common friends and topics, and they talk to each other.

Rubes Mitchell led the referee team to carry out a series of work such as confirming the players before they came on the field.

Subsequently, Yang Yang met Totti again.

The Roma captain was originally standing in the queue and had a good conversation with Gerrard, but he took the time to go back, met with Yang Yang and said a few polite words, after all, the two had already praised each other in the media before the game.

"Tonight, you'll have to be careful!" Totti chuckled.

Yang Yang nodded, he knew that he was facing Cassetti and the French genius Philippe Mex.

When he was in Ajax, Yang Yang often heard the name Mex.

This talented central defender from Ausell once aroused the coveting of many big teams in European football, but finally chose Roma, and now he is twenty-five years old, although he did not reach the heights expected by the outside world, but he has also established himself in Rome.

It's been a few hours, and it's not necessarily good.

In European football, where the competition is so fierce and the survival of the fittest is so cruel, it is not easy for someone like Mexes to stand out, and it is more of a wound that everyone is hurting Zhongyong.

…………

Spalletti is a bit of an alternative among Italian coaches, with an attacking and versatile approach, but Roma is best known for his strikerless wolf pack tactics.

Totti was pushed up front, with Roberto Mancini, Vucinic and Williamsson behind him, and De Rossi and Pizarro in a midfield style that focused on Totti's drop-back playmaking and the quick diagonal insertion of other players.

But Liverpool have also made enough preparations for this, and Benitez has even thought of Roma opening the attack.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, when Roma launched a big offensive against Liverpool, the Reds were more on the defensive.

Benitez continued to use the duo of Xavi Alonso and Mascherano in this game, with Steven Gerrard coming forward.

It was clear that Benitez saw the power of this two-man midfield combination against Arsenal.

Mascherano and Xavi Alonso did not disappoint Benitez either, keeping Roma at bay from the start of the game.

The Red Wolves could not break down Liverpool's defence, and could only frequently deliver long-range shots from the perimeter.

In the first 10 minutes, Roma had three or four chances to shoot from distance, from Pizarro, Totti and Vucinic, but none of them could threaten and all three were deflected wide.

Especially in the eighth minute, Vucinic's kick flew directly into the stands.

And after surviving Roma's opening attack, Liverpool gradually stabilized its position and began to plot a counterattack.

After all, this is Anfield!
