Chapter 34: The Burning Roman Derby (Part II)

The first half of the Rome derby did not show a close match, hot and exciting side, the first half completely became a training match for Roma's half-time offensive and defensive drills. Lazio fans in the north stand of the Olympic Stadium in Rome www.biquge.info have begun to chant the slogan of Prandelli's dismissal.

Prandley listened to it in his ears and was anxious in his heart. In the Lazio dressing room at half-time, Prandelli gave a rare scolding at the eleven in the first half. Let them know that even if they lose the game today, they must lose with blood and not play like a. Don't forget, this is a Rome derby, and it's a battle for the club's honour. Similarly, Prandelli used his first substitution after the break, replacing underperforming Brazilian teenager Barbosa with centre-forward Keita.

At the beginning of the second half, Lazio seemed to wake up in Prandelli's hair dryer, changing the passive and powerless decline of the first half and playing very actively on the field. In the early stages, Lazio created a number of chances, all of which were denied by the Roma backline. Lazio fans also came to their senses when they saw their players and the first half go to the same team, switching from Prandelli's dismissal slogan to Lazio's cheering slogan.

In the tenth minute of the second half, Liu Heng successfully stole the ball from Cataldi in the midfield and prepared to counterattack. At this time, Catadi shoveled Liu Heng fiercely from behind, which was an obvious revenge action! Catadi shoveled Liu Heng down on the lawn with the ball. Cataldi's retaliation caused dissatisfaction among the entire Roma team, and the Roma players leaned towards Cataldi, who had already walked away, and at this time, the Lazio players also gathered around. The stadium began to be a little chaotic, and some fans in the stands began to throw debris into the stadium. The referee stood between the players of the two teams at this time, controlling the atmosphere on the field, and gave Cataldi a yellow card while caring about Liu Heng's injury. When the referee showed Cataldi a yellow card, the Roma fans in the stadium were full of boos, and Roma coach Spalletti also roared angrily to the fourth referee to express his dissatisfaction. Fortunately, Liu Heng slowly stood up by himself, moved his ankles, and felt some pain on his face. The game continued. Ballack took the free kick, Ballack's long pass accurately found El Shaarawy on the right side of the Lazio penalty line, and as soon as El Shaarawy got the ball, he was knocked to the ground by Lazio left-back Konko, who came to defend with a standard hug. Shaarawy fell to the ground and complained to the referee that the foul should be given a yellow card, but the referee ignored him and only awarded a free kick, and Liu Heng's free kick also flew high out of Lazio's goal.

In the ten minutes after Liu Heng's shot, Roma did not form an effective counterattack or positional attack. As long as the Roma team's frontcourt player Liu Heng and the three forwards get the ball, they will be fouled by Lazio's players to prevent them from moving forward. The Roma team complained to the referee several times but did not get a response, and at this time, the hearts of the Roma players were already burning with fire, just waiting for a place to vent. Faced with such a situation, the referee's ability to control the game is indeed not flattering.

In the 70th minute of the game, Lazio controlled the ball in the midfield, and Parolo passed the ball to the Portuguese veteran Nani on the left side in the midfield, Nani used his skills and speed to pass McConn, who was older than him, and then went straight into the Roma penalty area. Roma's central defender Manolas saw Nani coming to the penalty area, and he happened to be worried that there was no place to vent his anger, and it was you. Manolas shoveled hard at him from Nani's right side. At that time, anger had taken control of Manolas's brain, and anger drove Manolas to complete this momentary kick. When anger is sly, reason returns to the brain. By this time, it was too late for Manolas to regret it, for his feet were already on their way to despair. Nani fell to the ground and rolled in pain. When he was done with that, he watched as the referee in front of him presented him with the ultimate package on the pitch. Ruby card plus a penalty. Roma captain De Rossi stepped forward to comfort the already confused Greek boy. Manolas walked out of the pitch disappointed. Roma boss Luciano Spalletti urgently replaced Raul with veteran Brazilian centre-back Castan . At this time, the course is slowly developing to the other extreme. Because of Manolas's reckless tackle just now, the Lazio players expressed strong dissatisfaction with it, and instigated the referee to send Roma captain De Rossi down as well. At this time, the Roma players who were next to the referee at the same time were also angry and slowly surrounded the Lazio players. The two teams spewed trash talk at each other, and the smell of gunpowder grew stronger and stronger. Roma captain De Rossi looked angry, and he wanted to reason with Parolo, who had just been the first to provoke trouble. was hugged by Liu Heng beside him, Liu Heng knew in his heart that if De Rossi passed, it would be even more unfavorable to Rome, and the Roman team could not punish another person. But he didn't expect the Lazio players to take the initiative to surround them, and now a big circle has really formed in the stadium. And Liu Heng was in the center of the circle. Liu Heng felt the pressure around him, and he was overwhelmed by these people. Liu Heng pushed back and forth with these waves, dazzling, and the shouts and scolding of the players and the fans still sounded in his ears. At this time, the Olympic Stadium in Rome seemed to travel back in time and became the Colosseum of ancient Rome. War solves everything. Suddenly, Liu Heng felt that he was kicked hard in the back, and it was also this hard kick that got him out of this oppressive crowd. He fell to the ground and looked at the huge crowd, it was already in chaos, the referee didn't know where it was, the pitch was full of people, coaches, team doctors, club staff. Liu Heng now doesn't know who gave him the black foot. I'll have to wait to watch the replay after the game.

In front of the Roma goal, Liu Xin was not involved in the chaos, he was standing here with Lazio goalkeeper Marchetti waiting for the farce to end. But Liu Xin suddenly saw Liu Heng lying on the ground inexplicably. Hurriedly rushed over.

"Ah Xian, are you alright?" Liu Xin pulled up Liu Xin, who was still on the ground in a daze. The crowd next to him also slowly quieted down, and under the deterrence of the referee who reappeared, the scene returned to the controllable range. At this time, Liu Heng showed the referee the clearly visible shoe spike marks on his back, signaling that the Lazio players fouled him in the chaos just now. But the referee didn't see the process of this action. Liu Heng can only suffer a secret loss for the time being. The referee played 50 boards each to the two protagonists of the riot, De Rossi and Parolo, and showed a yellow card each.

The game resumed, and Lazio prepared to take the penalty. Nani took the penalty of his own making. Nani took a deep breath and looked at the Roma door. Nani runs, swings his legs, shoots the ball and he kicks it to the left side of the goal!! Liu Xin!! It's Liu Xin again!! Liu Xin made another wonderful save!! He guessed the direction of Nani's penalty, and Nani shot a half-high ball that was not of good quality, which was easily pressed under Liu Xin. After Liu Xin saved the ball, he looked very calm. Roma captain De Rossi ran over and hugged Liu Xin's head and roared.

In the next game, Lazio was once again deflated, only brute force and no courage. The rest of the game ended in an atmosphere where you tackle and I pass.

The game is over, but the punishment is far from over.

The next day, the Italian Football Federation held a press conference. The Italian Football Federation decided to impose fines on AS Roma and Lazio and ban fans from their home matches. The second aspect is the players. It has now been determined that it was Lazio's midfielder Cataldi who fouled Liu Heng, and the Italian Football Federation imposed a three-game ban on Cataldi, as well as a decision to impose a fine.

The Rome derby ended in a chaotic heat.
