Tottenham's celebration passed quickly, after all, this is the opponent's home court.
When the game got back on track, the Roma fans in the stands suddenly burst into cheers.
Eh?
what's going on?
Wasn't it just that the opponent scored a goal?
What are you yelling about?
The photographer on the sidelines immediately found the key and focused the camera on Totti who was warming up in the warm-up area.
Seeing the figure of the Wolf King, Huang Jianxiang suddenly realized.
"It turns out it's Totti who is warming up on the sidelines!"
"It seems that Spalletti is planning to use his second substitution."
"Totti has missed Roma's five games since suffering a thigh strain more than a month ago."
"Even now, he's not fully recovered."
"But looking at the situation on the field, the only one who can help Roma turn the tide is captain Wolf King!"
"Yes, the two words Totti represent a spirit that can greatly inspire the Roma players on the field." Zhan Jun also nodded in agreement.
"Although I am a fan of Tottenham and Wang Xiaodong, I also hope that this game will be better after Totti comes on."
Huang Jianxiang curled his lips.
I am a Serie A fan and you are a Liverpool fan, okay?
When did you become a Tottenham fan?
It didn't take long for Totti to finish his warm-up.
Seeing that the captain had finished warming up, Aquilani, who was in possession of the ball, kicked the ball towards the sideline and handed the ball directly to his opponent.
But what he didn't expect was that he was the one who was substituted.
However, Aquilani did not show any dissatisfaction. He quickly ran to the sidelines, hugged and high-fived the captain, and then returned to the bench.
The moment Totti stepped onto the court, thunderous applause erupted from the stands.
Here, the Wolf King is the savior!
...
After the game resumed, Tottenham quickly felt the difference with or without Totti.
Roma's offense became faster and more purposeful.
Not only that, several consecutive through penetrations almost penetrated Tottenham's defense.
Roma, with the Wolf King, puts more pressure on the visiting team.
After coming on the field, Totti did not stand aside. It seemed that the thigh strain was still affecting his running.
However, this does not affect his command in the middle. Giuly and Mancini on both sides are constantly sprinting into the Tottenham penalty area. Coupled with Vucinic in the middle, the original attack with big thunder and small rain has become what it is now. of pouring rain.
Martin Joel had no choice but to order Wang Xiaodong to retreat further and temporarily give up some attacks.
With Totti, Roma completely became a whole, with five midfielders surrounding the Wolf King in the middle.
While better protecting the team, Totti also serves as the core, connecting all parties.
The most obvious change is that today's Roma no longer fight in isolation. The players gather tightly around Totti and start to act as green leaves.
Roma's offensive is getting fiercer and fiercer, and Tottenham's defensive pressure is gradually increasing.
In a 1-on-1 confrontation, Wang Xiaodong is not afraid of Totti.
But the Wolf King obviously knew how powerful Wang Xiaodong was, and his central control made many of Wang Xiaodong's attempts in vain.
With a little bit of penetration by the home team, they finally found a chance in the 64th minute.
The ball once again came to Totti's feet, and Wang Xiaodong rushed forward as always.
Seeing Totti's pass being transferred, Wang Xiaodong pursed his lips and accelerated again with all his strength, hoping to intercept it in advance.
However, Totti just pulled with his right foot and pulled the ball from the right back to the left.
A simple horizontal pull of the ball knocked Wang Xiaodong aside.
Such an understatement was immediately met with shouts from the stands.
There was no way, Wang Xiaodong was running like a bull, and it was difficult to stop instantly.
Taking this opportunity, Totti suddenly pushed his left foot forward.
The ball rolled diagonally past Dawson's back heel, and when he turned his head, Vucinic had already made a diagonal pass from his side.
Seeing his opponent facing the goalkeeper, Dawson subconsciously reached out his hand.
"Beep!!!"
The referee's whistle sounded and the home team was awarded a penalty kick.
"Judging from the slow-motion replay, Dawson's hand was indeed a subconscious movement."
"There is no other way. Faced with Vucinich's oblique thrusts, he has no other way but to do this."
"If you let the opponent pass, it is very likely to result in a one-on-one attack."
"Totti has changed Roma's offensive method very well since he came on. Every time the offense is slightly careless, Tottenham will be beaten through by the opponent."
"This Tottenham team is still too young."
“Under high pressure, problems inevitably arise.”
"The opponent is experienced and can easily seize the loopholes in the defense."
"Wang Xiaodong is indeed very hard-working, but his fighting spirit is sometimes exploited by his opponents." Zhan Jun stroked his glasses and made some analysis.
In this way, no matter how much Tottenham players protested, the referee still awarded the home team a penalty kick.
When Totti came to the penalty spot holding the ball, the Olympic Stadium immediately burst into cheers.
That was an early celebration for the Wolf King!
Looking at the resolute face of the Wolf King, he brought the important spirit of "confidence" to the whole team.
When Totti placed the ball and opened up the running distance, the entire Olympic Stadium fell into tranquility.
The fans of the home team did not dare to speak for fear of affecting the stability of the Wolf King's free throws; and the fans of the away team did not dare to speak in such a silent atmosphere, because they were also afraid of affecting the performance of their own goalkeeper.
"Beep!"
In such an atmosphere, the referee's whistle seemed so abrupt and clear.
As soon as the whistle sounded, Totti started to run.
His run-up didn't have any fancy tricks, he ran to the ball in just three or two steps.
In front of tens of thousands of people, Totti suddenly rounded his right leg and hit the ball hard.
Robinson's eyes flashed in front of the goal line, as if he had expected something.
He kicked off his legs and threw himself towards the left side with all his strength.
The outstretched arm seemed to be about to touch the goalpost in the next second.
However, when Totti's right foot touched the surface of the ball, there was a soft crisp sound.
"Boo~~~"
The ball flew up under Totti's rub and slowly fell into the net from the center.
"Beep!!!"
The whistle blows, the goal is valid!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!”
The on-site commentator immediately raised his voice, increased his volume, and cheered loudly.
"Francesco~~~Totti!!!"
"Our Wolf King!"
"Deceived the opponent with a brilliant spoon penalty."
"Evened the score for us!!!"
The Stadio Olimpico in Rome can accommodate 100,000 fans, but apart from the Rome City Derby, there are not many opportunities for this stadium to be filled with fans.
Different from the English stadium, there is a plastic track around the perimeter of this stadium, which indirectly affects the interaction between fans and players on the field.
Even so, the cheers from the stands covered the entire stadium.
Thirty thousand home team fans burst out twice as loud, spreading joy and excitement.
After scoring, Totti ran to the sidelines together, raised his arms high, and expressed his gratitude to the fans.
The hearts of fans and players are connected together, and the power of confidence fills their chests again.
1 to 1.
Both sides returned to the same starting line.
On the other side, Tottenham didn't react much to Totti's goal.
This is an away game anyway. If we get an away goal, we have completed the basic task.
Even if this score is maintained until the end, it is still acceptable.
Martin Joel and the assistant coach on the sidelines tilted their heads and had a heated discussion. The remaining time was about offense or defense, and whether the score was acceptable.
The coaches were preparing to accept the result, but Wang Xiaodong was watching the Wolf King in the crowd.
What's the thrill of torturing a leaderless team?
It's interesting to be like this now!
