No other city has left such a heavy mark and burst out with such dazzling brilliance in the history of human civilization as Rome.

To this day, the majestic Pantheon and the magnificent Colosseum continue to remind people of its more than 2,700-year-old history and magnificent civilization. The city of Rome seems to have been left to the world from myths and legends, standing between the seven hills, but it makes people feel like they are in a dream.

"All roads lead to Rome" is a true portrayal of the glory of Rome in the Eternal City.

Rome is known as the 'City of Light', and God and the Pope have spread tranquility and faith to every corner of the city with countless churches.

Rome is also a romantic city, with a never-ending love story between the Trevi Fountain and hundreds of fountains. Every day, there are countless people with dreams who follow in the footsteps of Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, from Plaza de España to the Trevi Fountain, the Mouth of Truth to the Castle of Angels, and finally to say the heartfelt phrase "cherish every minute of your life in this city".

However, Rome is a city that stands tall in the midst of swords and swords, blood and sand!

Bloody rain may be the eternal life of Rome.

This trait is vividly demonstrated in the war-football field in peacetime. Judging from the history and development of the club, neither Roma nor Lazio are top giants, far from the prestige of Rome in the world, but it is like Romulus, who was fed by a she-wolf, killed his twin brother Remos before establishing the city of Rome.

The Rome derby is the strongest gunpowder and the most fierce battle in Italy and even Europe!

……

In 1900, Lazio was founded as the first football club in Rome, but the reason why they did not adopt the name "Roma", which is better known today, was that they did not want to be confined to Rome itself.

"The glory of Greece, the grandeur of Rome." This line in the famous poem "To Helen" seems to have been tailor-made for Lazio.

Lazio's desire for the Olympics even adopted the blue and white colors of the Greek flag as the team's base colour. Even the crest of the team features an eagle soaring with its wings flapping – a symbol of Zeus, the god of the sky and thunder and lightning in Greek mythology.

The influence of Greek civilization on Roman civilization was shown in another way in Lazio.

Club of Rome was founded almost thirty years later than Lazio, when it was born out of the merger of three clubs at the time, and at that time, as a club in Rome, Lazio refused to merge. Thus began the conflict between Rome and Lazio.

With the development of history, the contradictions between Rome and Lazio deepened day by day.

In addition to football matches, the two teams are also on the same page in terms of economy, politics, and fans, with Roma supporters mostly living in the south of Rome, being economically poor, and leaning towards the left in politics, while Lazio's supporters mostly live in the north of Rome, are financially wealthy, and support the right. Therefore, the meaning of the derby is also more than football, and other elements are mixed in.

The brutal bloodshed of the Roman derby is even more famous than the brazenness of the pickpockets in the city of Rome.

In 1927, when Fascist official Fowski (who later became the first president of the Club of Rome) proposed a merger to form the Roma team, Lazio was the only one of the four local senior clubs in Rome to insist on opposing it, which naturally made the Blue Eagles a thorn in the side of the newly established Rome team, and it can be said that the two clubs were full of feuds from the first day of their joint existence. Coupled with the unique bloodiness of the Roma, the fans of the two clubs are also at odds with each other. Ironically. The Roma fans founded by Mussoliniti were more accommodating, while there were a significant number of Nazis and racists among the extreme Lazio fans. The most notorious attack was the 50-metre-long banner displayed in the North Stand in the 1998/99 season: "Auschwitz (home of the largest Nazi concentration camp in World War II) is your city, the oven is your home!" And their vicious attacks often provoke relentless counter-attacks from Roma fans.

With such a strong confrontation, stadium riots are almost commonplace in the Rome derby. In 1979, a Lazio fan named Papalaiti was killed in the stadium by a 18-year-old Roma fan, Fiorillo.

In last season's Rome derby, three Roma fans crossed the fence to spread rumours that a child had been hit and killed by a police car outside the stadium, causing a riot.

The derby was eventually terminated on an interim basis, but the riots were not brought under control. In the end, more than 170 people, including police officers, were injured in the clashes. As for the fights between fans on both sides after the derby, the list goes on.

The fans are "powerful", the players must not be ambiguous, and the physical confrontation of the Rome derby has always been far beyond the level of Serie A, with rough fouls, flying swear words and fists and even Totti's thumbs down gestures have become the hallmark of the Rome derby. As the Romans themselves said. A derby is a derby, a bloody battle isolated from all other competitions.

Naturally, Lazio and Rome had only one way to fight to the death.

In the eyes of Roma and Lazio fans, winning the Rome derby is even more important than winning the league title, as long as they can hit their rivals in the same city, it is not too much to use any means.

Drinel has his eye on this derby.

Although Roma's current results are not good, completely at the bottom of Serie A, and the Champions League group stage has also experienced two consecutive defeats, the results are extremely dismal, not as good as Lazio, the sworn rival of the same city, but as long as they can win Lazio, it can stabilize the attitude of the fans, as long as the fans can support the team and have confidence in the team, that is the beginning of Rome's ascension.

So for a week in a row, Drinel was preparing for the derby.

At the same time, the smell of gunpowder in the city of Rome also became stronger.

……

At this time, as long as you walk into the city of Rome, you can experience the atmosphere of the coming big war, many fans wearing Roma and Lazio jerseys have gathered in the streets, it feels like a war is about to start, if you don't know, you still think that there is a rebellion war in Italy, and the city of Rome is about to fall, and the real situation is similar. For a week, every Roman policeman was like a great enemy.

The media war is already on.

Lazio began to mock Roma's results this season, "They have only won one game in five league games and will probably see them in Serie B next year." ”

Roma fought back, "Lazio can only play in the UEFA Cup...... This is talking about Lazio's results last season, Roma is second in Italy. Lazio, on the other hand, could only finish sixth.

Lazio immediately returned the favor, "They played in the Champions League, but they haven't scored a point yet, and in two months, they probably won't even qualify for the UEFA Cup. ”

This still speaks of the results of Rome.

According to the rules of the UEFA Champions League, the first and second teams in the group stage can directly advance to the knockout round, the third place can go to the League Cup, and the last place can only leave the Europa League.

And that's just the saliva of the two teams supporting the media.

The battle between the fans of the two teams was much more intense. When Roma fans and Lazio fans meet on the street, it can be the beginning of a brawl, and recently there have been more than a dozen brawls every day in Rome, which are not one-on-one brawls, but groups, and even dozens of people in the morning, after which more than 20 people were sent to the hospital.

The city of Rome has never been short of football violents.

In the aftermath of the incident, the Roman police soon spread throughout the city. In each neighborhood, a dozen people in police uniforms patrol the streets, while the city of Rome issues new measures. They stipulate that no fan group is allowed to gather in any form before the Rome derby.

Only gatherings of more than 20 people must be approved by the police station.

The rules had some effect, and at least for the next two days, the brawls were greatly reduced, but many fans wearing the jerseys of both teams could still be seen on the streets. They walked down the streets, holding all kinds of signs, but they didn't gather in twos and threes, and there were police patrols around them.

As long as the fans don't make trouble, the Roma police will turn a blind eye.

……

At the same time. Zhang Tiehan's life was not affected.

The whole city of Rome is talking about the Rome derby, but Zhang Tiehan's feeling is quite unfamiliar, he knows the Manchester derby, but it is not so hot at all, as for the opponent Lazio, he doesn't know much, but he knows that the team is very good, especially a few years ago, that team has produced many stars, and the results are also the top in Serie A.

However, Lazio's results are not very good now, at least they can't catch up with Italian giants like AC Milan and Juventus.

He also has no idea about what his teammates call the Rome derby.

Derby? It's not just a league game.

That's how he sees it.

As for hearing the excitement of the derby, it has nothing to do with Zhang Tiehan, he just thinks that there will be a lot of fans paying attention to the next league game, so he will try to show himself well and strive to score a few more goals.

This attitude makes Zhang Tiehan the most indifferent person in the team.

"Don't you understand? As long as you can beat Lazio with goals, you will be a hero of Roma! Cassano kept saying the derby, "This is the Roman derby, but be careful when the time comes, those Lazios will not show mercy." ”

Zhang Tiehan rolled his eyes.

But Cassano's first words are catchy...... As long as you can score a goal for Lazio, you will become a hero of Roma, which is really a shortcut to be recognized by the fans.

So far, Zhang Tiehan's only worry is that he is actually not famous in Rome, it should be said that he has no status in the hearts of Roma fans, and he needs to be recognized by the fans, otherwise he is like a 'soy sauce player' in the Roma team, and he is an inconsequential player at all.

This will not work! Absolutely not!

Thinking of Cassano's words, Zhang Tiehan's eyes lit up.

Thinking of the report of the Roman media on himself a few days ago, Zhang Tiehan clenched his fists fiercely - if he can become a hero of Rome, he will definitely be able to get the support of many Roman fans. That's when I'm going to slap you in the cheeks!

Bang Bang ......

Hey, hey, hey.

Zhang Tiehan was motivated, and he was looking forward to the game starting soon.

In recent times, Zhang Tiehan's progress in tactical training is quite obvious, in order to have a better performance, he will be very serious in tactical training every day, even if he goes home, he will think about today's gains, thinking about how to run when his teammates are running to have more opportunities.

These are things that need to be accumulated little by little.

Growth is not a magic trick, even if he has more advantages than others, but if you want to improve, you still have to rely on training, experience, and tacit understanding with teammates, Zhang Tiehan has been working hard, accumulating experience, he believes that as long as he can really integrate into the team, there is no problem with teammates, and that is the moment when he soars.

What can it be when the goal is scored?

That just got a lot easier!

Can score, can score more goals, this is Zhang Tiehan's hope, at the same time, he also hopes that he can use goals to drive the team's results better, Drinel is anxious about the team's results, Zhang Tiehan is also anxious, Drinel is because of work, and Zhang Tiehan came to Rome for the championship.

Without a champion, what are you doing here?
