Chapter 178: Roman Prince - Totti!
In the end, amidst the mournful singing of the Celtic fans at home, the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals ended with Juventus away [-]-[-].

In the post-match press conference, Conte highly praised the Celtics' home fans: "They have one of the best fans in the world, and UEFA's 'Elite Stadium' award is well-deserved! The home fans let us We are moved, but we will not release water because of this, it has something to do with professional ethics."

The Celtics coach Lennon also spoke highly of Li Zihan, a player in the Juventus team: "He is an excellent young player, and everyone can see his strength and potential. Introduce him? Of course! The premise But if he wants to come to the Celtics, he must know that we also have a lot of Asian players."

The Celtics do have a lot of Asian plots. They used to have many Japanese and Korean players. At present, the Celtics are also targeting China, which has a strong spending power.There are rumors that the CEO of the Celtics Club is planning a trip to China in the summer. You must know that they also cooperate with some teams in the Chinese Super League and the Chinese Football Association.

Regarding Lennon's words, the media did not put any headlines such as "The Celtics' goal is Li" and "Li is infinitely close to the super giants of the Soviet Union" to attract headlines.

Because all fools know who should be chosen between Juventus and Celtic, not to mention that the title parties are not all fools.

The next round of the match between the two sides will start on the night of the [-]th of next month, and at that time Juventus will host the Scots at home.Of course, if there is no accident, Juventus has almost locked a seat in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.

Before that, Juventus still has three league games to play, namely an away game against Red and Blue Roma, a home game against their younger brother Siena, and an away game against Naples, one of the direct opponents of the league champion.

In another quarter-final of the Champions League, the La Liga black bat Valencia lost [-]-[-] at home to Paris Saint-Germain, the Ligue [-] powerhouse with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Lavezzi and Pastore.

When Juventus returned to Italy the next day, the Champions League results for the remaining games were also known.Shakhtar Donetsk, who gave Juventus a lot of trouble in the group stage, was tied [-]-[-] by the Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Dortmund at home. Dortmund has the advantage of two away goals, so it is a draw, but everyone Everyone knows that the Germans clearly have the upper hand.

In the last game, Sir Alex Ferguson's Red Devils Manchester United drew [-]-[-] at the Bernabeu with Real Madrid, which made him very angry. This is another contest between the godfather and the lover of life.

The four matches between Porto against Malaga, Arsenal against Bayern Munich, Galatasaray against Bundesliga Schalke 04, and AC Milan against Barcelona will start on NO.20 and 21. .

However, almost all the Italian media have now begun to bad-mouth AC Milan. This is not because they "worship foreigners" but that anyone with a little football knowledge knows what the consequences of AC Milan are when facing Barcelona.If AC Milan can win, it will definitely be an upset.

Although Barcelona's Cosmos team is no longer, and is suppressed by Mourinho's Real Madrid in the league, his background is still there, and his player team is still there.And looking back at AC Milan... There are also excellent players, but compared to Barcelona... it's really not good enough.

Of course, "Gazzetta dello Sport" will naturally not say bad things to their own people. They all said: Football is round!
And there are still many media dissatisfied with the draw for the quarter-finals. Why?
Because Juventus's opponent is one of the few "fish belly" in the top sixteen of the Champions League this season, and AC Milan's opponent is the "cosmic team" Barcelona.

Although the Celtics are the giants of the Scottish Super League, they are not enough to look at before the "Western Super League" Double League, the Red Devils Manchester United, and the Bundesliga giant Bayern. Even Dortmund, Arsenal and other teams are better than him. many.

Some conspiracy theory media even said that Juventus's "relationship" has gone deep into UEFA.In the quarter-finals, Juventus "met" the Celtics through "relationships", and they used the "relationships" to help Milan pick a cosmic team Barcelona.

Of course, these conspiracy theories are untenable, so they were drowned out shortly after his appearance.After all, Juventus is really not very good in UEFA, because Platini's godsons are not Li Zihan and Conte
Despite what the media said, how YY, but the team really has no time to ink with them, because after the Celtics away game in the middle of the week, Juventus immediately flew directly to Rome Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, because in three days later the On the weekend they will challenge their opponent Roma in the 22nd round of the league at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Although the advantage in the league is not obvious, Conte still intends to give up this game.Because they have just played in the Champions League, players are prone to fatigue during long-distance travel and intensive schedules, and are more prone to injuries.

Therefore, Conte arranged for a full bench lineup in this game. The players who played against the Celtics in the last round all sat on the bench in this game.Except for Pogba, who only played 10 minutes of the game as a substitute, "Boba" was placed in the starting lineup.

Unlike the full bench lineup, Roma played at home with the best of the best.Including defenders Maquinhos, Balzaretti and their "king" Totti, as well as the young teenager, the Argentine Lamela who is said to be valued by Real Madrid, and the midfielder De Rossi.

Juventus's rotation is very self-aware, they know that they are not the opponents of the main Roma, so they defend from the beginning.

They are very aware of the visiting team, holding back in their own backcourt, only Giovinco is in front, and even Matri has retreated deeply.

Of course, this inevitably drew boos and abuse from the fans of the home team, and they all pointed their middle fingers at the Juventus players and said ugly things.

The capital team has always hated the top three in the north, which can be seen from the performance of the fans.Italian football presents a three-pole circle. On the one hand, the northern team headed by the top three in the north, Juventus and Milan duo;

Overall, it reflects the "cultural" diversity of Italian football. The top three in the north look down on all teams except them, the capital team hates the top three in the north, and the southern teams don't like the top three in the north and the capital team.The top three in the north have disliked each other and are mortal enemies, the capital duo are also mortal enemies in the same city for a century, and the southern team circle is also very chaotic.

So it's not polite to face the Juventus Roma fans that I hate. Of course, they are relatively "moderate" compared with their neighbors Lazio fans.If Lazio met the top three in the north, it would be light to swear, and it would be commonplace to beat the opponent's fans in groups.

So I often see news of Lazio fans beating and rioting in the news, and many of them are even disabled and dead.Lazio fans are the most "violent" fans in Italy. They have a lot of "fame" throughout Europe, so teams that generally play against Lazio do not recommend that fans go with the team to watch away games.

With Juventus' strict defense, the first half ended with a score of zero to zero.Conte highly praised the team during the intermission and said that the second half is the beginning and the team needs to make persistent efforts.Anyway, even an average is acceptable to Juventus, as long as they don't concede a goal, they win.

However, the more you are afraid of something, the more things will come.

In the No.13 minute of the second half, De Rossi split the side, and Lamela quickly broke through after getting the ball.De Qieli was no match for the nimble Lamela at all. After being broken by the opponent, he had to chase after him.

Lamela quickly made a pass from the bottom, and the young Italian striker Destro headed the ball away.The ball fell to the feet of "Wolf King" Totti, and the 36-year-old Totti's movements were more delicate.He easily used fake moves to shake away the young defender Garcia, and then hit the goal inside the penalty area.

In the face of the shot turned by the "Prince of Rome", Storari has nothing to do.He made a save, but couldn't even touch a hair on the ball.The ball went over his hands and hung in the dead corner of the goal.

The on-site commentator shouted sensationally: "Francisco scored for us——"

"Totti!!!!" Roma supporters answered loudly.

The cheers of the home fans in Rome almost rang through half of the city of Rome. They have been cheering for Totti for 20 years.In their hearts, Totti has always been a prince.Although the prince is 36 years old, the outside world has already called him a king.

They hope to cheer this man for 20, 30 or even more years!

In their minds, the owner of the team, the Sensi family, can be changed, the head coach Andrea Zoli can be dismissed, the young and potential Lamela and Pjanic can be sold, and even De Rossi can be considered for sale.But only Totti is the only indispensable thing in their hearts.

Roma flags are waved in the stands, responders celebrating the goal of the "flag" of the team.The slogans on the stands are always the same.

"Our prince - Totti!"

"Without Totti, there is no feast!"

Conte is like a jealous and wronged daughter-in-law on the coach bench, because his "Zebra Prince" Piero is also at this age but can only go to Australia to make money, while their "Red Wolf Prince" is still on the Olympic Stadium run happily.

Conte yelled at the sidelines: "You guys are not exaggerating, pay attention to the defense. The midfielder should pay attention to sharing the defensive pressure on the wing. The young Argentine is not a "vase". There is no Li Shuai yet. Pay attention to Totti in the backcourt, this old guy’s shooting skills have not aged with his age, only the kid named Destro let him go, let him and the goalkeeper alone Picking is not necessarily a sure win. The focus of the frontcourt is Lamela and Totti, and the midfielder is De Rossi. These two old things are not old."
