Chapter 90: Undefeated Record
"Roma corner, front point! It's gone! Totti! Totti! Totti!!!! With Fabio's passionate shouting, the ball flew into the top left corner of the goal and eventually got headlong into it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Totti! The prince of the city of Rome! He pulled Rome back from the cliff! ”
When the ball flew into the goal, the fans in the stands behind the goal jumped out of their seats.
“gooooooooooooooooool~~~~~~~!!!!” The Stadio Olimpico DJ immediately cheered Totti's goal, and after a long GOL, he called out the name of the goalscorer with passion.
"The goal for Roma was ~~~~~~~~~~ Francisco"
"Totti!" The crowd shouted Totti's name after that.
"The goal was scored by Francisco ~~~~~~~" "Totti!! ”
"Francisco ~~~~" "Totti~!!! ”
The DJ's broadcast was repeated three times, but the fans' admiration for the Roman prince kept them coming after three times, and they continued to shout for Totti.
"Totti! Totti! Totti! Totti! Totti! Totti。。。。 ”
The atmosphere at the Stadium was as hot as a boiling kettle, and all that was left was the cheers of Totti's bow. As the banner of the city of Rome, Totti has saved the team countless times, and this time, the fans believe that under Totti's leadership, Roma will be able to counterattack and turn defeat into victory, and the fans are willing to shout for him until then.
But soon, the fans found out that Totti did not celebrate after the goal, lying motionless on the turf.
The shouting grew quieter and quieter.
"Wait, what's going on? Totti hasn't been on his feet after the goal, is he injured? Fabio also noticed that something was wrong, and normally in this situation, Roma should save time to go back to their own half and try to score another goal, but now the Roma players are gathered around Totti, who scored the goal, and there is not a trace of post-goal excitement on their faces.
"Totti looks like he's really injured, there's a player calling for a team doctor!"
It was as if the enthusiasm of the fans in the stadium had suddenly been poured with a spoonful of cold water, and they stood in the stands, craned their necks to look at Totti lying on the ground. If a goal had to be exchanged for the Roma captain, they would rather not have it.
But they were doomed to be disappointed, and they saw the Roman team doctor kneeling beside Totti make a stretcher gesture to enter the field on a stretcher, and soon the staff in charge of the stretcher ran to the field and carried Totti down.
The red wolves lost their head wolves.
Although Roma managed to level the score at 2-1, they were now just one goal away and it should have been a time for their morale to be boosted. But Totti's injury dealt a serious blow to Roma's momentum.
Like Baggio's position in Brescia, Rome lost their spirit without Totti.
After the restart, Roma, who had just scored, was pressed back by Brescia. The players all seemed a little distracted, and the fans who were supposed to be the team's twelve were also somewhat silent, their attention drawn to Totti, who was being treated on the sidelines, and even forgot to cheer for the players on the field.
Finally, the biggest blow came two minutes later, when Capello replaced Totti with Cassano after listening to the team doctor. The substitution shattered the fandom's illusions so much that when Cassano stood on the sidelines of the pitch, the applause at the Stadio Olimpico was a little sparse.
Fabio, who saw this scene, commented, "Roma are a little passive now, from the perspective of the lineup, their two most powerful attack points have left the stadium, and the bigger reason is morale, after Totti's departure, the Roma players seem to have lost their backbone, they are not focused enough on the game, and even their fans have lost their enthusiasm for the game." ”
It's not just Fabio who has noticed this, Capello is even more clear that the team is in big trouble. But he couldn't do anything better, the three substitutions had been used up, and now that he had all the cards in his hand, he couldn't make any changes to the situation on the pitch.
Cassano, who has just come on the pitch, is running aggressively, having joined Roma for €28 million last year, and is eager to show himself. Since making a name for himself in Bari at the age of 17, Cassano has been seen as the future of Italian football, with Baggio even believing that he would be the best successor to his own national team.
But that was before Zhang Shu was born. Compared with Zhang Shu, Cassano already has the charm of Baggio in scoring and assisting his teammates' last fatal pass, but he does not have Baggio's ability to organize the team in tandem, simply put, he is more like a traditional shadow striker, unlike Baggio who can switch between the positions of No. 10, No. 9 and a half, and No. 9 at any time.
This means he needs the support of his team-mates in midfield to play his part, and now Roma's fully suppressed midfield is not equipped to support him.
Therefore, even if Cassano tried very hard after coming on the field, he still could not bring enough threat to Roma's attack. And as the game time went on, the players of the Roma team seemed to be more and more anxious. Their back line began to press forward constantly, trying to regain control of the midfield by relying on their numerical superiority.
Eventually, the restless Roma tasted the bitter fruit, and just before the end of the game, Brescia seized the gap after Roma pressed hard, and Pep Guardiola's long ball from the back penetrated the entire Roma defence. Baggio successfully countered offside, facing the young goalkeeper Pellizzoli who attacked in a hurry, the experienced Baggio only used a fake shot to trick him to the ground, and the next thing was very simple, Baggio used a light push to rewrite the score to 1:3.
There was silence in the stands at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, and the goal conceded meant they would lose the three points after losing their captain.
After a brief treatment of the injury by the team doctor, Totti sat on the bench with a gloomy look in his eyes. The goal he scored for Roma through injury proved to be meaningless in the end, and it was going to be a painful night for him and for all Roma.
Eventually, shortly after Roma's kick-off, the referee blew the full-time whistle. Brescia eventually beat Roma 3-1 away to avenge a home defeat in the first half of the season.
"It's over!" Fabio declared, "With this victory, Brescia will be three points clear of Roma in the standings, and since losing 4-0 to Inter Milan in the 12th round of the league, they have maintained a nine-game unbeaten streak, the longest unbeaten run of any team in Serie A this season!" ”
"Let's congratulate the players in Brescia!" Looking at the Brescia players celebrating their victory at the Olympic Stadium, Fabio said with emotion: "Remember this group of young men who have set records, as a relegation team, I think they should think about the long-term goal!" ”
