Chapter 393: The Wolf King

As soon as the game restarted and Roma kicked off, there was a huge cheer at the Olympic Stadium.

This makes people who don't understand a little strange - isn't Rome lagging behind? Why is this cheer?

It wasn't until the TV broadcast cut the camera to the warm-up area that it dawned on everyone that Totti was warming up!

'Rudy Garcia had just brought on Gervinho and now it looked like he was going to use up a second substitution. Totti has suffered one injury this season, missing six games and has only played two games since returning from injury, and has not played the full 90 minutes, one as a substitute and one as an early substitute. However, at this time, it is true that only a player like Totti can help Roma turn the tide! Caresa said, speaking highly of Totti.

"Well, Totti's experience and the spirit he represents can really be a huge inspiration to the rest of the Roma players. Rudy Garcia's choice was no problem. I also hope that after Totti comes on the pitch, this game will be a little better......" said Bergomi.

Soon, when Totti had warmed up, he was standing on the sidelines.

In order to allow Totti to play as soon as possible, the Roma player who was in possession at the time simply kicked the football outside the sideline of Sampdoria's half, preferring to give up possession and give Totti the opportunity to play early.

It is clear that Totti enjoys an unrivalled status in this team.

When Totti was substituted, there were enthusiastic cheers and thunderous applause from the stands.

Everyone looked at Totti as if they were looking at a savior.

The game went on and Sampdoria did quickly feel the difference between Roma with Totti and Roma without Totti, and in attack, Roma put more pressure on them.

Totti was in the middle of the command, with Gervinho on the flanks constantly sprinting and breaking through, and the original attack seemed to be thunderous and rainy, but now it seemed as if there was really a pouring rain pouring down.

Sampdoria had to put more effort into defending.

In fact, except for Totti and Gervinho, the other players are still the same people, the center is Destro, the left winger is Aden Ljajc, and the midfield is not only De Rossi, but everyone is no longer fighting separately, but is well connected and closely around Totti.

In Roma's increasingly fierce attack, Sampdoria's defensive pressure gradually increased, and in the seventy-first minute, he finally made a mistake in the middle of the rush, De Silvestri pulled down the breakthrough Gervinho in the penalty area, and the referee blew the whistle to punish De Silvestri for a foul, not only gave Roma a penalty, but also gave De Silvestri a yellow card.

"There was indeed movement on the hand, and De Silvestri pulled down Gervinho...... In the face of the latter's sudden oblique insertion, he could only do so. Otherwise, if you let Gervinho go and let him receive Totti's pass, you will face goalkeeper Romero directly......"

"Totti has changed Roma's attack very well since he came on and the attacking threat has become greater...... As long as enough pressure is applied, the Sampdoria backline is completely prone to mistakes......"

De Silvestri's foul process was under the nose of the referee, it was clear and irrefutable, so the Sampdoria players did not protest around the referee.

As Totti walked to the penalty spot with the football in his arms, there was a huge cheer at the Olympic Stadium.

This cheer is all for the "Wolf King", his angular face, every line seems to convey confidence to the audience and teammates.

With a calm expression, he calmly set the ball on the penalty spot.

When he straightened up and stepped back to open the run, the cheers died down, and the stadium seemed incredibly quiet.

Everyone was watching him, not daring to make a sound, for fear of affecting his consistency when he made free throws.

In this silence, the referee's whistle is very abrupt and clear.

Before the whistle fell, Totti was already running, and as he ran to the football, he rounded his right leg as if to deliver a powerful volley.

Romero judged that Totti would whip the ball into the bottom right corner, so he kicked the ball and swooped it out.

But just as he left the middle, he saw Totti's right foot raised high, landed lightly, and shot the ball into the middle of the goal!

"Spoon ——!!"

Amid the cheers of Caresala's long voice, the ball drew a wonderful parabola in the penalty area and plummeted into the unguarded empty goal......

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Francisco Totti!! Totti! He scored Sampdoria with his trademark spoon penalty to equalize for Roma! When the team is in trouble, this man will always be the most trustworthy! He turned the tide! ”

The Olympic Stadium, which seats only 20,000 people, erupted in cheers that were twice as large as the number of fans there are today.

After the goal, Totti hugged his team-mates and took the opportunity to celebrate the goal to cheer them up and encourage them.

Now that the score has been equalized, the two sides are back on the same running line, and it is unknown who will win or lose the game.

On the other hand, Sampdoria's players looked disappointed.

In the Coppa Italia single-game elimination system, there is no away goal advantage, so if the score is 1:1, they will not be able to use the away goal advantage to eliminate Roma.

Roma, on the other hand, used this goal to reinvigorate morale, and the next game will be difficult to play......

Thinking about the defensive pressure they were under before this goal, many people couldn't help but frown at the rest of the game.

Di Francisco was the one with the tightest brows, and he set his eyes on Gao Zheng.

When Rome is in trouble, they can rely on Totti, the "wolf king". And when the sailors are in trouble, their backbone is naturally the "captain".

All he can trust is Gao Zheng.

In the face of Totti and Roma's aggressiveness, how will Gao Zheng react?

He was surprised to find that Gao Zheng was actually laughing!

When other Sampdoria players felt lost, frustrated, and painful because of the goal, only Gao Zheng was laughing!

※※※

Gao Zheng didn't know that the head coach was looking at him, and his eyes fell on Totti.

It's not the first time he has played against the legend of Roma and Italian football, but every time he plays against him, he can feel the horror of this living legend.

This is a man who can't even beat time......

But it is precisely because of this that there is the value of the First World War.

Gao Zheng clenched his fists, but grinned.

With such an opponent, the Coppa Italia is not a tasteless chicken rib!
