Chapter 522 This Is Anfield! [The Third Update of Vomiting Blood, Please Subscribe to the Monthly Pass]

Some people say that everyone has a city in their heart.

In the world of football, there is a person in every city.

Raul in Madrid, Gerrard in Liverpool, Maldini in Milan...

These people are using their careers, and even their own lives, to write a story of loyalty.

And this person who lives in Rome is called Francisco Totti, nickname: Wolf King!

...

For Totti, Yang Yang has been admired for a long time, but has never been in contact with him.

Many people may think that his name is not loud enough, but he is definitely one of the most outstanding superstars on this star.

At least, in Yang Yang's mind.

Totti once had the opportunity to join Real Madrid, and was even very close to Real Madrid at one point, but he finally chose to stay in Rome, which is a pity for many people, because he could have achieved better.

But this sentiment made Yang Yang admire him even more, because he knew very well how difficult it was to reject Real Madrid. It can even be said that this is a temptation that all professional players cannot refuse.

Staying or leaving is a choice worthy of respect, but Yang Yang admires this person even more.

Therefore, in an interview with the media before the game, when the reporter mentioned Totti to Yang Yang, Yang Yang's first reaction was, "I grew up watching Totti's games."

It's a bit of a joke, but it's not, because Totti is 30 years old, and he has played professional football for more than ten years.

As for Totti, Yang Yang also expressed his respect. He thinks Totti is a great player and said that he is proud to be able to compete with such a player.

"When I saw Totti at Anfield, all I could say to him was welcome to Liverpool!"

...

Perhaps because of Yang Yang's remarks before the game, with a kind of respect from the juniors to the seniors, Totti also said in an interview with the media, "Yang Yang is already a great professional player, I expect him not to play too well. , because we look forward to beating them away!"

But Totti also said that this is the first time Roma has entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League in more than 20 years. The players are seriously inexperienced, especially the knockout experience of playing English teams away, so Totti said that a draw is a good result.

"I prefer to see this as a smooth journey, we play normally and get the results we deserve, of course, if we want to satisfy the fans, then we need to do more and better."

...

Compared with the friendship between Yang Yang and Totti, the atmosphere between Benitez and Spalletti is full of gunpowder.

The Liverpool coach said in an interview with the media, "Yang Yang is the best player in the world, even though he is only 20 years old."

And Spalletti said, "I don't know Yang Yang very well. On the contrary, I think Totti is better than anyone!"

But soon, the Liverpool coach said again, "Totti? He is really strong, but I am more worried about De Rossi and Mancini. These two players are the most threatening players in Rome."

Spalletti also said at the same time that he would not specifically develop targeted defensive tactics for Yang Yang.

"Maybe some teams will do this, but we are more inclined to defend as a whole. We will not change our game strategy because of one of the opponent's players, even if this person is Yang Yang!"

...

The smell of gunpowder before the game was very strong.

The media of the two countries have also raised momentum one after another. Gazzetta dello Sport specially conducted a round of PK battle of wives before the game, allowing all fans to vote publicly.

Among them, on the back line, the girlfriend of the Roman center defender Ferrari is the Italian supermodel Ada Yespica, who has even hooked up with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. .

Therefore, in this round, Liverpool lost no doubt, and Ferrari's girlfriend scored as high as 95 points.

In terms of midfield, neither team was able to choose a good candidate. Roma chose the girlfriend of Swedish midfielder Willemsson. She is a beautiful girl idol in Sweden, and her netizen rating has reached 75 points. .

Gerrard's girlfriend Curran is well-received in the UK, but it is obviously not in line with the aesthetics of Italian fans, so she only scored 75 points, which is considered a draw between the two sides.

On the front line, Blassi, the girlfriend of Wolf King Totti, is very popular in Italy and has a score of 90 points, ranking second in the wives of Rome.

As for Liverpool, Crouch's wife Clancy has also attracted a lot of popularity with the popularity of the World Cup in Germany, but in the team, Yang Yang's girlfriend Su Ye is ranked in Liverpool with a photo of the Zurich awards ceremony. The first of the wives.

Before, after she appeared at the FIFA awards ceremony with Yang Yang, she was quickly reported and paid attention to by the media around the world. When Gazzetta dello Sport voted on the official website, in just two weeks, Su Ye won 99. The score is almost perfect.

Not only the highest score, but also the largest number of votes, it can be said that it deserves its name.

In the comments of Gazzetta dello Sport, the editors of the European fashion capital commented, "Many people think that there is a great difference between Chinese and Western aesthetics, but in fact, the real beauty is the same."

"It's like the Chinese like Monica Bellucci, the Italians like Su Ye."

Although Su Ye finally came out on top, in the selection of Gazzetta dello Sport, the Liverpool wives are still slightly inferior.

Gazzetta dello Sport is taking this to encourage Roma, believing that the wives have already overwhelmed the other party, and Roma should kill Liverpool on the pitch and strive to go further.

...

But it is clear that for Roma, who have not reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League in 23 years, Liverpool, who defeated the favourites Barcelona in the round of 16, is undoubtedly their most difficult opponent so far this season.

…………

April 3, Liverpool Anfield Stadium.

When the international referee from Slovakia, Rubes Mitchell, rang the bell for the second time, Gerrard led Liverpool's players out of the home team's locker room.

Yang Yang walked at the back of the team, which was his habit.

When every Liverpool player goes through the narrow stairs and wants to walk up the player tunnel, he will habitually raise his hand and pat the slogan "This is Anfield" left by Shankly at the top of the tunnel.

A tall man such as Crouch bent over and lowered his head, reached out and patted it, while a short man like Aurelio, who was 1.78 meters tall, only needed a little tiptoe to get a shot.

It's a routine for Liverpool before every game.

Yang Yang was no exception. He raised his right hand and patted it as he passed by.

He felt that it seemed like a customary ritual, in this way to tell everyone that the game is about to start, and they are about to enter the endless arena.

...

Coming to the player tunnel, Roma's players have already formed a team here.

The players of both teams are from all over the world, and although they are not familiar with each other, they all greet each other politely.

European football, especially the four major leagues, is not big or small. God knows when, each other will be transferred to teammates, so off the field, they are more polite to each other.

Qiu is a central defender in Rome, but he was born in Ajax and was the captain of Ajax before, but in the summer of the year Yang Yang joined Ajax, he moved to Rome from the Netherlands, so he is not interested in Yang Yang. familiar.

But with this layer of relationship at Ajax, the two have some common friends and topics, and they talk to each other.

Rubos Mitchell took the referee team to confirm the players before they went on the court and a series of work.

Later, Yang Yang saw Totti again.

Captain Roma was originally standing in the queue and had a great conversation with Gerrard, but he took time to walk back, met Yang Yang and made a few polite words. After all, the two had already complimented each other in the media before the game.

"Tonight, you have to be careful!" Totti laughed.

Yang Yang nodded, he knew that he was facing Cassetti and the French genius Philippe Mex.

When he was at Ajax, Yang Yang heard the name Mex a lot.

This talented central defender from Auxerre once aroused the covetousness of many giant teams in European football, but he finally chose Rome, and he is now twenty-five years old. Although it has not reached the height expected by the outside world, it is also Rome stood firm.

It's been an hour, big is not necessarily good.

In European football where the competition is so fierce and the survival of the fittest is so cruel, it is not easy for someone like Mex to stand out.

Spalletti is a different kind among Italian coaches. He advocates offense and has changeable tactics, but in the Roma team, he is most famous for his tactic of wolves without a front.

Totti was pushed to the front, with Mancini Jr., Vucinic and Williansson behind him. De Rossi and Pizarro played the role of the double midfielder. Ball organization, and the other players' quick obliques behind.

But Liverpool has also made sufficient preparations for this, and Benitez has even thought of the opening attack in Rome.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, when Roma launched a massive offensive against Liverpool, the Red Army was more focused on retreating.

In this game, Benitez continued to use the double midfielder combination of Xavi Alonso and Mascherano, and Gerrard came forward.

Obviously, Benitez saw the power of this set of double midfielders in the game against Arsenal.

Mascherano and Xavi Alonso did not disappoint Benitez, and they blocked Roma's attack from the start of the game.

The Red Wolves can't break Liverpool's defense and can only use long-range shots from the periphery.

In the first ten minutes, Roma had a total of three or four long-range shots. Pizarro, Totti and Vucinic kicked, but they failed to create a threat. All three shots missed the goal.

Especially in the eighth minute, Vucinic's kick flew directly into the stands.

After surviving Rome's opening attack, Liverpool gradually stabilized their position and began to plan a counterattack.

After all, this is Anfield!
