Lord of Greenery

Chapter 357 The Defeat Has Been Determined
Under the leadership of Totti, although Rome has stabilized the situation, the overall situation has not improved.

Because Inter Milan has already scored a goal.

Under the premise of leading by one goal, Mourinho will put the bus unscrupulously.

In fact, he did the same, and focused on Totti.

In Rome, the biggest problem Totti needs to face is that his teammates are not so good.

It's okay to face a weak team. Facing a strong team like Inter Milan, only De Rossi can help.

And De Rossi needs to undertake quite a lot of defensive tasks, which leads to almost all of the team's offensive tasks on Totti alone.

What makes Totti even more breathless is that if one of him and De Rossi is blown up, Rome is doomed to lose!

The pressure that Inter Milan put on them is so great. As time goes by, even Totti himself is about to lose confidence.

Supported by the singing of the fans, with a breath in his chest, Totti is still supporting.

He only hoped that Ranieri could respond quickly.

I don't know how long I waited, but Ranieri's instructions did not wait, but the whistle at the end of the first half came.

Totti was panting heavily, and Inter Milan's oppression left him no time to rest or even think.

It wasn't until now that he realized that halftime was over.

It turns out that there is still a halftime break...

With grievances and dissatisfaction, Totti walked into the player tunnel, and happened to bump into Li Ze who walked in with him.

Li Ze nodded to him, but Totti, who was in a bad mood, ignored him and walked straight to his locker room.

"Sorry." De Rossi followed behind and apologized to him.

"No need." Li Ze chuckled.

In fact, his relationship with Totti is not that bad.

He is not a person who likes to take the initiative to say hello, more often he can only watch silently.

However, Roma's performance this season is really amazing, and Totti has always been a familiar superstar.

Whether it is because of the mentality of the former fans or the so-called heroes cherishing heroes, Li Ze has a different view of Totti.

With Totti's character, he speaks freely when he curses, and he doesn't think too much when making friends with others.

Although he seems to be very angry and indifferent now, after the game is over, he might invite Inter Milan players to dinner.

The wolf king in Rome sometimes has a clear love and hate like a child, and he doesn't hold grudges.

Totti didn't know about Li Ze's mental activities, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions just now.

He just grimaced and waited for Ranieri to come in.

After all the players came in one after another, Ranieri was long overdue.

In fact, he wanted to come here earlier, but he was too old and had bad legs, so he didn't dare to run. Naturally, he couldn't walk the strong professional players.

Even if they exercise vigorously for 45 minutes, their physical fitness is not comparable to Ranieri.

After coming in, Ranieri didn't look at anyone, and naturally he didn't see Totti's face.

He walked to the tactical board, without any foreplay, and directly started talking about the tactics for the second half.

"In the second half Bridge went off and Mene came on, we needed to attack."

Ranieri came in the first sentence, so that Totti's face eased a lot.

Mene is also very happy, he is just a rotation in Rome now, whether he can play depends on luck.

On the other side, Baptista's expression was not very good.

He is good at playing the midfielder and center position, and now in these two positions, Roma's starting players are Totti and Tony.

Both of them are famous players. If Baptista was at his peak, he might still have the confidence to compete with them for a starting position, but now...

Rather, if he still had the stunning performance at his peak, would he come to Rome to play?

Intermission time is not long, Ranieri is not allowed to say too much, he can only make short stories.

In the second half, Roma had to work harder on creating opportunities.

Inter Milan is definitely going to put up an iron bucket, and then it will be Tony's chance to play.

As a center, Tony has everything a center should have.

If Mene, Riise, and Mene are really allowed to create opportunities for him, he can only create a miracle!
After listening to Ranieri's arrangement, the Roma players temporarily recovered some morale.

I don't know how well it actually works, but it sounds like it might be worth a try.

If they don't want to hand over the champions of the Coppa Italia, they have to fight.

It is better to follow the command of the head coach than to fight headlessly.

With a little morale restored, the Roma players stood on the field again in the second half.

The game restarted, and Roma took advantage of the dead ball to make substitutions.

Then the Roma players discovered that Inter Milan was also making substitutions.

The glass man Motta was replaced by Materazzi.

Materazzi is old and has poor physical strength, but he still has half-time physical strength.

He is also very good at talking trash, making Zidane use the famous bully head.

Of course, none of this matters to Ranieri and the others.

The important thing is that he is 193cm tall and weighs 92kg. He is a real high school defender.

Mourinho replaced a midfielder with a high center defender, and it was obvious who he was aiming at.

Tony looked at Lucio and Materazzi in front of him, both with big heads.

He also has 193cm and is a powerful high center forward.

But he is also old, and it is really embarrassing for him to be one against two after he has played half of the game.

Ranieri is still having a headache, and Totti, the wolf king on the field, is ready.

"Don't panic, their midfield has become weaker!"

Totti's words immediately restored the confidence of the Roma players.

In the first half, their midfielders were suppressed all the time. They obviously controlled the ball, but they were lured around like headless chickens and made a lot of unnecessary runs.

The opponent's midfielder has one less person, does it mean that they can relax a little bit?
Not!
Totti is well aware of this!
The strength of the opponent's midfield has declined, which means that they can devote more energy to attack and create more opportunities.

But Mourinho's bus is not so easy to break.

more importantly--

Maicon, Chivu, Lucio, Samuel, Stankovic, Cambiasso...

Some of these players in Inter Milan's backcourt are no worse offensive than defensive!
If Rome puts more energy into the offense, it is destined to give them a lot of counterattack opportunities.Can De Rossi survive?

In Totti's heart, De Rossi is the only reliable defense in his own defense.

Totti felt his scalp tingle when he thought of the opportunity of Inter Milan's counterattack and the ball fell to Li Ze's feet.

Really, he could have foreseen that scene!
Totti realized that Ranieri's tactical change was completely guessed by Mourinho.

In terms of on-the-spot tactical arrangements, Ranieri has already lost, completely lost.

Totti took a deep breath.

No matter how difficult the game is, he will not surrender.

Even if he knew he would lose, he still had to fight with all his might!
Even if you lose, you must lose with your head held high in the midst of the attack!

Totti didn't realize that in his heart, Rome's defeat had already been determined!
