After the score was equalized, Roma's morale was boosted.
Under Totti's overall control, he began to continuously attack Tottenham's goal.
In the 69th minute, De Rossi fell to the ground again after inserting his left rib into the Tottenham penalty area at high speed.
This time, the referee Debreke did not stop the game.
Judging from the slow-motion replay, Boateng and De Rossi, who were defending behind, did not seem to be in contact.
Just one minute later, Rome's offensive came again.
De Rossi made a diagonal pass from the middle, Vucinic returned from the left side of the penalty area, and Tonetto volleyed slightly wide of the near post from 12 meters in front of the goal.
In the 73rd minute, Roma hit Tottenham with a quick counterattack.
Tonetto's cross from the left turned into a lob. Fortunately, Robinson was focused and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.
The corner kick was cleared by Wang Xiaodong's header, and Vucinic threw a sideline ball from the right.
Mancini headed the ball into the penalty area, and Panucci volleyed with his left foot 7 meters from the goal!
Roma's continuous onslaught made Tottenham a little overwhelmed.
In the 75th minute, Dawson took the initiative to sit on the ground and asked for a substitution.
Martin Joel replaced him with veteran captain Ledley King, and Dawson, who returned to the bench, quickly applied an ice pack to his ankle.
Even if he is not injured, he will not be able to play in the next game due to accumulation of yellow cards.
In the 78th minute, Pizarro took a corner kick from the left. Vucinic headed the ball 8 meters in front of the goal. Robinson subconsciously dived sideways and blocked it with one hand!
Giuly followed up and prepared for a follow-up shot, but was once again destroyed by the focused Tottenham defender.
One minute later, Pizarro took another corner kick from the left. Mancini hit Wang Xiaodong with a right-footed volley 12 meters from the back and was blocked from the penalty area.
"Roma's offensive at this stage is very fierce, and Tottenham's goal is in danger." Huang Jianxiang worried that if Martin Joel didn't make some countermeasures, Tottenham might be in danger. "
"It's hard to say, what if Tottenham wants to hold on to the 1-1 score until the end?" Zhan Jun said on the side.
"In that case, Berbatov will be replaced." Huang Jianxiang keenly found Martin Joel's pain point, "The Tottenham coach has not replaced Berbatov just because he wants to score another goal. "
"Martin Joel, the coach, is always a little hesitant in judging certain things. He always makes some decisions with hindsight."
Not only Huang Jianxiang and Zhan Jun could see it, but Mourinho, who was wearing a peaked cap and looking serious in the stands, had already seen Tottenham's problem.
"Lucky guy." Mourinho curled his lips, "It's a waste to have a group of excellent players but don't know how to use them."
This is not the first time Mourinho has complained about Martin Joel.
In his opinion, the Dutchman's ability to lead the team to this point is entirely due to the players.
But no matter what, Tottenham have already entered the Champions League quarterfinals.
All fans who support Bai Baihe hope that the team can go further and further instead of being stuck in Rome.
Or in order to preserve their strength, they can be more decisive and use the method of a strong man to cut off his wrist to show the fans a clear intention.
Instead of giving people the feeling of being beaten by the opponent like now.
Just then, the camera cut to Martin Joel's face.
He seemed to have finished discussing tactics with the assistant coach, and the expression on his face was indifferent and there was some expectation.
It seems to be waiting for something.
Of course, Martin Joel didn't look so calm just because he decided to give up the game. As for his expectation, it was entirely because he saw Wang Xiaodong who was still rushing left and right, contacting everywhere.
As a perpetual motion machine on the field, Martin Joel knows it very well.
As long as Wang Xiaodong is still active, there won't be any big trouble on the field.
Maybe I can score another goal!
Martin Joel thought leisurely.
So despite Roma's fierce offensive during this period, the Dutch have begun to pay attention to the gaps behind their opponents.
...
Wang Xiaodong was also peeking at the gaps in Roma's defense.
Although he is a defensive midfielder, he still has to find these gaps as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to deliver cannonballs to his teammates.
And that guy Berbatov doesn't always come back to participate in defense. Leaving him in the midfield is not to let him take a walk, but to wait for the next offensive opportunity.
Now Roma's offensive is fierce, and the two wingers are pressing very high.
Bale and Lennon were so tight that they couldn't run upfield in a short time.
If he counterattacks, he will inevitably use Berbatov as a diversion to buy time for the two fast horses on the wing.
However, if Berba wants to go through the level alone...
Wang Xiaodong himself smiled when he thought of this.
Does that guy have such a grudge?
...
Another Roma attack, Totti controlled the ball at the top of the penalty area.
Other Roma players were actively running, and the Wolf King also made moves to pass the ball.
But this time, Totti feinted again.
He put his feet back and swung the ball directly towards the goal.
Sneak attack!
Robinson suddenly jumped up and saved the ball with one hand.
The ball passed the Tottenham goalkeeper's fingertips and hit the crossbar hard.
Buzz~~~
The whole doorframe was shaking.
Listening to the buzzing of the door frame, another huge sigh came from the main stand.
"Totti~~~"
"Oh my god, it's actually a beam!"
"Robinson has surrendered and it was the woodwork that saved Spurs this time."
The ball bounced back into the field and Boateng rushed forward to make a clearance.
"Here! Here!!!"
Seeing that this fool had the tendency to turn around and kick his ass, Wang Xiaodong shouted loudly.
Fortunately, although Boateng was stunned, he was very obedient.
Hearing Wang Xiaodong's cry, he raised his head and glanced, then aimed a straight kick at Wang Xiaodong's feet.
Wang Xiaodong was facing his own goal kick, raised his right foot and cut it suddenly.
The ball crawled along the arch of Wang Xiaodong's foot to his ankle, and then fell steadily again.
grass!
Can't this guy pass the ball more gently?
After Wang Xiaodong complained, he quickly took a step to the right.
Before the surrounding Roma players could react, he swung his left foot and kicked the ball forward.
Seeing the ball flying into the air, the Roma players were shocked and hurriedly turned around to chase after it.
However, the ball seemed to have eyes, flying to the front of Berba's movement.
The Bulgarian almost took a ball while running forward.
In this way, Berbatov already has the ball under his feet without stopping to catch the ball.
Roma's defenders also seemed to predict that this long pass would not stop Berba. De Rossi, who was lagging behind, accelerated immediately and came closer.
Berba pushed lightly with the outside of his right foot, and the ball magically passed between De Rossi's legs.
You know, the Italians are running at high speed!
The ball can pass right between his legs, which is enough to show Berbatov's meticulous control ability.
Just like that, Berbatov paused, let De Rossi pass, and caught up with the ball from behind him again.
He has accelerated now, but in the eyes of the fans, he is still the forward who is "walking" slowly.
With a height of 1.89 meters, he easily stuck Cassetti to one side. In this way, the Bulgarian fully opened his long legs and dribbled the ball forward.
"Berba! Beautiful crotch crossing! He made fun of Roma's deputy!" Huang Jianxiang exclaimed happily.
"The Roma penalty area is just ahead!"
"What's there to hesitate about?"
