Chapter 82: Totti, the Wolf King

Unlike Brescia, who bought strong reinforcements during the winter break, Roma lost their "god of war" Batistuta during the winter break. Although www.biquge.info helped Roma to the Serie A title in 2001, Barty scored just six goals in the 01-02 season. For the god of war, who once regarded goals as a mustard, such a result is one of the few lows in his career.

After entering the 02-03 season, the 34-year-old Barty failed to gain the trust of coach Fabio Capello, who was pressed to the bench almost all the time this season. And his salary of more than 5 million euros turned into a heavy burden for Roma. Finally, after lengthy negotiations, Inter Milan brought Barty to Meazza at the cost of shouldering half of Barty's salary. The Argentine legend No.9 will be used as a replacement for Argentina's new No.9 Crespo after his injury, charging for Inter Milan.

Roma, who have lost Barty, have a poor season and currently have the same 27 points as Brescia, and are in tenth place in the standings on goal difference.

At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Mazzoni is making the final mobilization for the Brescia players.

'During the international break a few days ago, Roma were more affected than we did. In this game, I ask you to run more, to play fast, to get up to the tempo. Pep, the work of controlling the pace is up to you. Mazzoni looked at Pep Guardiola and said.

"No problem, Carlo." Guardiola nodded confidently. He will face his former club in this game, and he has not had a good time in the first half of the season, playing just four games for Roma. He's been holding his breath, and although he's getting older, he doesn't mind showing Roma what he's really capable of if it's just one game.

"Roma don't have a lot to watch out for at the moment, and the biggest threat comes from their captain Totti, who has just returned from injury in this game and shouldn't be playing too well. But Appiah, you have to keep an eye on him, he's the kind of player who can take your chances with one carelessness. Mazzoni spoke to Brescia's midfielder Appia. As the Roman godfather who personally unearthed Totti, Mazzoni knows better than anyone how terrifying Totti is on the pitch.

'Another threat for Roma came from Cafu on the wing. Zhang, you're going to play against him again, but he's going to be on the right side of midfield, more attacking. What I ask of you is to keep him at bay with your attacks and don't let him run rampant on our flanks. ”

"Leave it to me!" Zhang Shu replied excitedly. In the match between the Chinese team and Brazil, Cafu caused him a lot of trouble, his speed was faster than Zhang Shu, and there were several counterattacks by the Chinese team to find Zhang Shu, but he used speed to chase back and defuse in advance. Now that Zhang Shu has better teammates, he can't wait to get revenge for the shot he took a few days ago.

Mazzoni is not very relieved, this is the first time Zhang Shu has played left midfield in the club, he still told carefully, "Cafu and you, both participated in the game a few days ago, and also after thousands of kilometers of long journey, I think his physical fitness should not be as good as yours, as long as you force him to expend physical strength to chase back the defense in the first half, we will be much easier in the second half." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, watch me drag him down in this game." Zhang Shu patted his chest and said.

Mazzoni nodded in satisfaction.

"Boys, Roma have nothing to fear, now they are the same as us in the standings, let's win this game and trample them underneath!"

He made the final mobilization and opened the door to the locker room.

Standing at the exit of the Olympic Stadium, Zhang Shu stretched out his head and looked at the two players standing at the top. Baggio and Totti were at the front of the line as captains of both sides.

These are two of the best nines and a half in Italy, old and new. But their fates were very different, with Baggio moving from club to club in Italy, while Totti became a well-deserved flag in Rome.

The Romans have a very famous saying - "Long live the king when he dies." This sentence fully expresses the attitude of the Romans towards the king without care. Losing a king and finding another one is no big deal. So no matter how big the coach is, Eriksen, Bosque, Mazzoni, and Capello to this day, they are nothing more than passers-by in the eyes of the Romans. Only the flag of the club can never fall, from Falcao to Giannini and now Totti, the most important person in the eyes of Roma fans will always be their leader and the flag.

As if sensing Zhang Shu's gaze, Totti suddenly turned his head and met Zhang Shu's gaze.

Facing the direct gaze of the Roman wolf king, Zhang Shu did not look away, he raised his eyebrows, and just stared straight into Totti's eyes. And the proud Totti was not to be outdone, and the two of them kept looking at each other like this. It wasn't until the referee urged the players from both sides to enter that Totti turned around and led the team out of the aisle of the Stadio Olimpico.

"Yay! I won! Zhang Shu waved his fist and shouted at Totti, who was walking at the front of the line.

The other unknown players looked at Zhang Shu, who was suddenly elated, and was inexplicable.

"What you've done to those bastards in Lazio is awesome. I like people like you with a real temperament. When shaking hands, Totti said to Zhang Shu, "But I won't let go of the victory in this game." ”

"If you don't let it go, you may not be able to get it," Zhang Shu tilted his head and smiled, "You still say every year that you want to win the Serie A championship." ”

Totti's face instantly darkened, and he was saddened by last year's failure to defend his title. Originally, with his unruly and tough character, being able to say such things to Zhang Shu could be regarded as a show of goodwill. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to stage a drama of heroes cherishing heroes? Who knew that people like Zhang Shu would come up directly and expose their scars, which is a bit excessive.

"In the first half of the round, we won away from you." Totti said. After a 3-2 home win at Brescia in the first half of the season, Roma is back at home and it's no wonder Totti has the confidence to win comfortably.

Brescia is an elevator team with too little history of playing against Roma. Totti has never taken this team into account, and he can't remember whether Roma have beaten Brescia by a big margin before. So much so that when it came time to speak harshly, he could only use the latest game as a weapon.

But Zhang Shu pouted: "It's my business, I'm still in the youth team in the first half of the round, when did you win against 'us'?" ”

Totti was choked by Zhang's strong words. As a superstar, I can't argue with this kid "Because I won your senior team, I should be better than you", although the truth is correct, but if you really want to say this to Zhang Shu, it seems too low.

The people waiting in line to shake hands at the back had been waiting for a long time, and he could only snort coldly and pulled his hand out of Zhang Shu's hand.

"I've won you again~" Facing Totti, who turned away, Zhang Shu shouted at his back again.

Totti could only pretend not to hear such a childish spiritual victory in Zhang Shu, but in his heart, the idea of teaching Brescia a hard lesson burned like wildfire.
