Chapter 178: The Roman Prince - Totti!
Chapter 178: Prince of Rome - Totti!
In the end, in the sad and sad singing of Celtic fans at home, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final ended with Juventus 3-0 away.
In his post-match press conference, Conte praised Celtic's home fans: "They have one of the most haode fans on Shijie and the UEFA 'Elite Stadium' award is well deserved! The home fans moved us, but we didn't let it go, it was a matter of work ethic. ”
And Celtic coach Lennon also spoke highly of the Juventus player Li Zihan: "He is an excellent young player, and everyone can see that his strength and potential are there. Introduce him? Of course! The premise is that if he wants to come to Celtic, you must know that we have a lot of Asian players. ”
Celtic do have a lot of Asian plots, they used to have a lot of Japanese and Korean players, and now Celtic is also targeting China, which has strong spending power. There are rumors that the CEO of Celtic is planning a trip to China in the summer, knowing that they also cooperate with some teams in the Chinese Super League and the Chinese Football Association.
For Lennon's words, the media did not put any headlines such as "Celtic's target is Lee" and "Lee is infinitely close to the Su Super giants" to attract the headline party.
Because fools know who to choose between Juventus and Celtic, not to mention that the title parties are not all fools.
The next leg between the two sides will start on the evening of the sixth of next month, when Juventus will host the Scots. Of course, if nothing else, Juventus have almost secured a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Before that, Juventus still has three league games to play, namely away to the red and blue Roma, and at home to welcome their little brother Siena,?
?? and Zuihou away to challenge Napoli, one of the direct opponents of the league title.
In the other Champions League quarter-final, La Liga Black Bat Valencia lost 2-1 at home to Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain with Ibrahimovic, Ravic and Pastorere.
When Juventus returned to Italy the next day, the results of the remaining Champions League games were also in. Shakhtar Donetsk, who gave Juventus a lot of hardship in the group stage, were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Hornets Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Dortmund, who had two away goal advantages, so it was a draw, but everyone knows that the Germans have a clear advantage.
Zuihou's Sir Alex Ferguson's Red Devils Manchester United drew 1-1 with Real Madrid, who made him angry, at the Bernabeu, and it was another contest between the godfather and the love of the day.
The four games of Porto against Malaga, Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich, Turkish Super League giants Galatasaray vs. Bundesliga Schalke 04, and AC Milan vs. Barcelona will not start until the 20th and 21st.
However, the Italian media has almost begun to sing the praises of AC Milan now, not because they "worship foreigners", but people with a little football knowledge know what the consequences of AC Milan against Barcelona are today. If AC Milan can win, it will definitely be an upset.
Although Barcelona's Cosmos team is no longer there, and it is pressed by Mourinho's Real Madrid in the league, his heritage is still there, and his player base is still there. And back at AC Milan...... There are also good players, but compared to Barcelona...... It's really not enough to see.
Of course, "Milan Sports Newspaper" naturally does not say ugly to its own people, they have said: football is round!
And there are still many media dissatisfied with the draw for the quarterfinals, weishenme?
Because Juventus' opponent is one of the few "fish belly" in the round of 16 of the Champions League this season, while AC Milan's opponent is the "Universe Team" Barcelona.
Although Celtic is a giant in the Soviet Super League, it is completely not enough to see before the "Western Super League" double league, Red Devils Manchester United, Bundesliga giant Bayern, etc., and even Dort, Arsenal and other teams are much better than him.
There are even some conspiracy theories that the "relationship" of Juventus has gone deep into UEFA. In the quarterfinals, Juventus "encountered" Celtic through "connections", and they used "connections" to help Milan pick a cosmic team, Barcelona.
Of course, these conspiracy theories were untenable, so they were drowned out shortly after his appearance. After all, Juventus is really not good in UEFA, because Platini's godson is not Li Zihan and Conte
Despite what the media said, the team really didn't have time to ink on them, because after playing Celtic away in midweek, Juventus flew directly to Rome's Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, because they will take on their opponents in the round of 22 of the league at the Stadio Olimpico in three days' time.
Although the advantage in the league is not obvious, Conte intends to give up this game. Having just played in the Champions League, players can easily get tired after long journeys and intensive schedules, and they are even more prone to injury.
So Conte arranged a full bench lineup for this game, and all the players who played against Celtic in the last round were on the bench in this game. Except for Pogba, who only played ten minutes off the bench, "Boba" was scheduled to start.
Unlike the full bench lineup, Roma playing at home is the best of the best. These include defenders Marquinhos, Barzaretti and their "king" Totti, as well as young players, Argentine Lamela, who is said to be valued by Real Madrid, and midfielder De Rossi.
Juventus' rotation is very self-aware, they know that they are not the opponent of the whole Roma, so they defend from the start.
They were very conscious of the visitors, holding back in their own backfield, only Giovinco was in front, and even Matri retreated deeply.
Of course, this inevitably drew boos and abuse from the home fans, who shouted nasty words at the Juventus players with their middle fingers.
The capital's team has always hated the top three in the north, and this can be seen from the performance of the fans. Italian football presents a tripolar circle, on the one hand, there are the northern teams led by Juventus and Milan, the top three teams in the north, the capital circle led by Roma and Lazio on the other, and the small clubs in the south on the other.
The overall "cultural" diversity of Italian football is reflected, with the top three in the north looking down on all but them, the capital team hating the top three, and the south team not liking the top three and the capital. The top three in the north look at each other as mortal enemies, the two heroes in the capital are also bitter enemies in the same city for a century, and the southern team circle is also very chaotic.
So you're not welcome to face the Juventus Roma fans you hate, of course, they are relatively "gentle" compared to their neighbors Lazio fans. If Lazio encounters the top three in the north, it will be light, and it will be common to beat up opposing fans.
Therefore, it is common to see news of Lazio fans beating people and rioting in the news, and many of them are disabled and killed. Lazio fans are the most "violent" fans in the whole of Italy, and they have a lot of "fame" throughout Europe, so generally the teams that play with Lazio do not advocate that fans go with the team to watch the game away.
With Juventus' tight defense, the first half ended with a score of 0-0. Conte praised his team at half-time and said the second half was the start and the team needed to build up. Anyway, even the average is acceptable for Juventus, as long as they don't concede a goal, it's a victory.
However, the more you are afraid of something, the more it comes.
In the thirteenth minute of the second half, De Rossi split the side, and Lamela got the ball and broke through quickly. De Celli was no match for the nimble Lamela at all, and had to chase after the opponent after being broken through.
Lamela quickly sent in a low cross and the young Italian striker Destro headed it over. The ball fell to the feet of the "Wolf King" Totti, and the thirty-six-year-old Totti's movements were more delicate at his feet. He easily used a feint to shake off young defender Garcia before smashing a shot from inside the box.
In the face of the "Roman Prince's" reversed shot, Storari had nothing to do. made a save, but couldn't even touch the hair of the ball. The ball went over his hands and into the corner of the goal.
The on-site commentator screamed sensationally: "It was Francisco ———— who scored for us"
"Totti!!!" The Roman supporters picked it up loudly.
The cheers of the home Roma fans echoed almost half of the city, who had been cheering for Totti for two decades. In their hearts, Totti has always been a prince. Although the prince was thirty-six years old, the outside world already called him king.
They hope to cheer for this man for twenty, thirty, or even longer!
In their minds, the Sensi family, the owners of the team, can be replaced, the head coach Andrea Azzoli can be resigned, the young potential Lamela and Pjanic can be sold, and even De Rossi can be considered for sale. But only Totti was the only thing that was indispensable in their hearts.
The Roma flag waved in the stands and the goal of the responder team "Flag" celebrated. The slogan in the stands is always the same.
"Our Prince, Totti!"
"Without Totti, there would be no feast!"
Conte is like a jealous little daughter-in-law in the dugout, because his "Prince of Zebras" Piero can only go to Australia to make gold at this age, while their "Prince of Red Wolves" is still running happily on the Olympic Stadium.
Conte yelled at the sidelines: "You guys are really fucking braggadocio, watch out." The midfielder should pay attention to share the defensive pressure on the wing, the young Argentine is not a "vase", he is not as good as our Li Shuai. Pay attention to Totti at the back, this old guy's shooting skills have not aged with his age, only the kid named Destro let him go, so that he and the goalkeeper may not win one-on-one. The focus up front is on Lamela and Totti, and in midfield is De Rossi, two old things that are not old. ”
