Chapter 153: Playing Football with Totti (Part 5)

In the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia, the first division teams occupy twelve places, and only four are second division teams.

Da Velsa feels that Parma meets Roma, a little wronged, as long as it is not Roma, Juventus and Napoli, he thinks the signing is not bad, at least he can have a better fantasy.

But Rome? I really don't have much hope, so let's take it with a normal heart. It is impossible to say that Parma surrendered directly, Parma has a good momentum in the league now, and they can't be anxious about playing one more game, at least they know after fighting with Roma. The club owners wouldn't allow him to do that.

Darwelsa still fielded the strongest squad he had in mind without any reservations, however, he brought in two new players from the youth team and put them on the bench.

On the Roma side, as Crespo predicted, vice-captain De Rossi did not enter the starting line-up, but sat on the bench, and it was Paredes who replaced him, and the old captain Totti led the line and started for the team. Nainggolan and Mohamed Salah flanked him, while El Shaarawy, who joined from Milan, was still on the bench with main striker Dzeko. As you can imagine, Shaarawy is not in a good position in Rome at the moment.

In the central defender position, Spalletti didn't dare to hold it up, but still let Fazio play, which shows that he attaches great importance to Wang Dalong and does not dare to let the youth team players rotate Fazio.

Of course, Fazio plays as a central defender, so it's not much of a problem not to rotate, and his physical reserves are actually not bad, after all, he has just passed the winter break.

Spinach have set Roma odds to handicap a goal and are fully fancied for Roma to win at home, with Parma looking to have no chance at all.

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome was not very well attended, probably because of the cups, the league was better, but the fans were not full. The football environment in Italy is basically like this, except for Juventus, whose home stadium is almost full, the home stadium of other teams is not satisfactory.

But the highlight is that outside the Olympic Stadium, there are many more Chinese than usual, and they are constantly entering the stadium. There are locals, Chinese fans from other European countries, and Chinese fans who have traveled thousands of miles from China, just to catch a glimpse of Wang Dalong on the pitch.

Soon, the Olympic Games gathered almost a stand of Chinese fans, this beautiful scenery, even the commentator of Sky Sports was amazed, he could not imagine that a Chinese player, actually has such a strong appeal, and uniformly dressed, all wearing Cow No. 9 jersey. That's right, they're just fans of Wang Dalong, not Parma.

"The Chinese boy has finally stepped into the sight of the first division team, if he can score at the Olympic Stadium today, then it will definitely cause a sensation, can Roma's main defense line tie him down? He has been in very good form in the league, scoring four goals, and if he can continue this form, then it is possible to score goals in the game, and the Fazio-led defence is strong, but the Chinese boys will certainly not be willing to remain silent. Spalletti is still using the back three, which is good news for Wang, and if he can play at the level he did on his debut, hehe......"

"I don't think it's likely, against Roma he won't be able to find his way, you underestimate Roma's defence." As a guest commentator, retired Italian international and former Roma left-back Barzaretti expressed a different opinion, "A guy who has never even played in Serie A, he can't understand the defensive intensity of the Serie A team, Fazio They won't give him any chances at all, and even Parma won't have a few chances to attack the front." ”

Barzaretti is a former Roma player, so naturally he will not agree with the commentator's opinion and will definitely be on the side of Roma.

"Federico, are you sure?"

'I'm sure it's a game that can't be missed, Roma won't make such a low-level mistake.'

"Oh, I know what you mean, but the game is played by people, and if you don't make mistakes, it doesn't mean that you don't score goals for the opponent, have you ever seen him play?"

'No, I've never looked at a player who plays in the second division, but I'm confident that Roma will win in the end and won't let that kid score. Barzaretti was confident.

"Federico, it's not you on the pitch right now, it's your former team-mate, but I'm sure if you play at left-back, you can defend against the king, but there aren't many guys like you in Italy." The narrator complimented him.

Barzaretti is actually a very good player, once played in the second division with Juventus, but although he played famously, he was not able to gain a foothold in Juventus, and later joined Fiorentina, Palermo and Roma, the ball is getting better and better, and was also the main left-back in Italy, the highlight was in 11 and 12 years.

However, he retired a little early, retired in 15 years, and Italy has one less good defender, but Italy has never lacked good defenders, and after he retires, there will still be someone to take over.

Barzaretti really smiled, who doesn't like the words of other people's compliments? Anyway, for a few years he was the strongest left-winger.

Wang Dalong was a little blindsided......

Shock!

It was as if he had come to the Colosseum. It's not that the Olympic Stadium is really an arena, it's just that this stadium is just too big, too big.

The Olympic Stadium can accommodate 80,000 seats and 25,000 standings, and if it is full, it will be a stadium of 100,000 people. It was the biggest stadium he had ever encountered in Europe.

The stadium was full of dark red fans, and although it was not full, it also brought him an absolute shock.

For a few seconds, he thought about life.

Just now in the players' tunnel, he saw the Roman prince Totti, the Roma vice-president De Rossi, and the Polish goalkeeper Szchenrini......

The first time he saw so many stars, he was a little impulsive and wanted to run over and sign autographs.

But he finally held back, and people didn't know who he was at all.

Besides, this kind of behavior before the game is very embarrassing, and no matter how you say it, it must be after the game.

When he stepped on the turf, he felt like he was standing on the clouds, and he didn't feel like he was going to play against Roma. Totti, wearing the captain's armband, stood not far away with a solemn expression, like a timeless statue of the city.

Although Totti played football more than two decades before him, it did not prevent him from getting to know Totti.

It's great to be able to play in the same stadium as Totti......
