Chapter 393 Wolf King
When the game started again and Roma had just kicked off, there was a huge cheer from the Olympic Stadium.
This makes people who don’t understand a little wonder that Rome is not behind? Why is this cheer?
It was not until the TV broadcast cut the camera to the warm-up area that everyone suddenly realized that Toti was warming up!
"Rudi Garcia just replaced Gervinho, and now it seems that he will use the second substitution quota immediately. Toti suffered an injury this season, missed six games, and only played two games after recovering from injury, and did not play for 90 minutes. One was a substitute and the other was replaced in advance. However, at this time, only a player like Toti can help Roma turn the tide!" Carresa said, and his evaluation of Toti was quite high.
"Well, Totti's experience and the spirit he represents can indeed greatly inspire other players in Rome. Rudy Garcia's choice is no problem. I also hope that after Totti's play, this game will be more beautiful..." Bergomi said.
Soon, after Toti finished warming up, he stood on the sidelines.
In order to allow Toti to play as soon as possible, the Roman player who was in possession of the ball at the time simply kicked the ball outside the sideline of Sampdoria's half-court. He would rather give up the ball possession than give Toti a chance to play early.
It can be seen that Totti enjoys an unparalleled status in this team.
When Totti was replaced, there were warm cheers and thunderous applause in the stands.
Everyone looked at Totti as if they were watching a savior.
The game continued, and Sampdoria really quickly felt the difference between Rome with Totti and Rome without Totti. In the offense, Rome put more pressure on them.
Totti was in the middle of command, and Gervinho was constantly sprinting and breaking through the side. It turned out that the attack seemed to be loud and thunder, but now it seemed that there was really a heavy rain pouring down.
Sampdoria had to put more energy into defense.
In fact, except for Toti and Gervinho, the other players are still the same. The center is Destro, the left winger is Adenliać, and the midfield is De Rossi, there is Naingran, but everyone is no longer fighting on their own, but is well connected and closely surrounding Toti.
In Roma's increasingly fierce offensive, Sampdoria's defensive pressure gradually increased. In the 71st minute, she finally made a mistake in her busy situation. De Silvestery pulled over Gervinho who had broken through the penalty area. The referee blew the whistle and sentenced De Silvestery to a foul. Not only did he give Roma a penalty, but he also gave De Silvestery a yellow card.
"There is indeed movement on his hands. De Silvestery pulled Gervinho down... Faced with the latter's sudden slant, he could only do this. Otherwise, if Gervinho was put over and he was allowed to receive Toti's pass, he would directly face the goalkeeper Romero..."
"After Totti came on the court, he changed Roma's offense well, and the offensive threat was even greater... As long as enough pressure was applied, Sampdoria's defense line would be completely wrong..."
The foul process of Desilvestre was under the referee's nose, very clear and irrefutable, so Sampdoria's players did not protest around the referee.
As Totti walked to the penalty spot with the football in his arms, there was a huge cheer from the Olympic Stadium.
The cheers were given to the "Wolf King". His angular face and every line seemed to pass on confidence to the audience and teammates.
He calmly expressed his expression and calmly placed the football on the penalty spot.
When he stood up and retreated to pull away the run-up distance, the cheers disappeared, and the court seemed extremely quiet.
Everyone was watching him, not daring to make a sound, for fear of affecting his stability during free throws.
In this silence, the referee's whistle sound appears very abrupt and clear.
Before the whistle was finished, Totti had already started running. When he ran to the football, he swung his right leg, as if he was about to shoot with a strong and powerful shot.
Romero judged that Toti would pull the football to the lower right corner, so he kicked the ground and rushed out.
But just as he left the middle, he saw Totti lifting his right foot high, falling down gently, and shooting with one foot, hanging the ball towards the middle of the goal!
"spoon!!"
Amid Caresara's cheers, the football drew a wonderful parabola in the penalty area and fell lightly into the unguarded empty door...
"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!! Francesco Toti! Toti! He broke through Sampdoria's goal with his signature spoon and equalized the score for Roma! When the team is in trouble, this man is always the most trustworthy! He turns the tide!"
The Olympic Stadium, which only sat 20,000 people, burst into cheers that were twice as many as the number of fans now.
After scoring the goal, Totti hugged his teammates, taking advantage of the opportunity to celebrate the goal, cheered them up and encouraged them.
Now the score has been equalized, and both sides have returned to the same starting line. It is unknown who will win or lose the game.
On the other hand, Sampdoria's players seemed very disappointed.
The Italian Cup single-game elimination system does not mean the away goal advantage, so if the score is 1:1, they cannot use the away goal advantage to eliminate Roma.
On Roma, he used this goal to regain morale, and it would be difficult to play in the next game...
Thinking about the defensive pressure they had endured before this goal, many people couldn't help but frown for the next game.
Di Francesco was the one who frowned the tightest, and he turned his eyes to Gao Zheng.
When Rome was in trouble, they could rely on the "Wolf King" Totti. When the sailors were in trouble, their backbone was naturally the "captain".
All he could trust was Gao Zheng.
How would Gao Zheng react in the face of Totti and Rome's aggressiveness?
He was surprised to find that Gao Zheng was actually smiling!
When other Sampdoria players felt lost, frustrated and painful because of losing the ball, only Gao Zheng was smiling!
Gao Zheng didn't know that the head coach was staring at him, and his eyes fell on Totti.
This is not the first time this legend of Rome and Italian football has fought with him, but every time he fights, he can feel the terribleness of this living legend.
This is a person who cannot even defeat time...
But it is precisely because of this that it has the value of a battle.
Gao Zheng clenched his fists, but grinned.
Chapter completed!
