number one striker

Chapter 196
"Walter, be careful of Totti." Cesar whispered to his teammates, and Cambiasso also reminded Lucio that he saw the code word between Ranieri and Totti. Although he didn't know what it meant, there must be some plot.

Except for Caesar, everyone in Inter Milan squeezed into their penalty area, either concentrating on it, or being on guard, or reminding each other. Most of their attention was on Totti.

Even Mourinho is keeping an eye on Totti, should this guy make a move?
"De Rossi corner kick! Cesar hits the ball out of the box!"

"Push them out! Push them out!"

Riise on the outside received the ball, he saw a channel among the chaotic Inter Milan players, and immediately pumped the ball in.

The ball was flat and fast, and it went straight through Inter's defensive line and came to the back point.

Everyone looked back, and Totti was walking back unsteadily, and that position was offside at first glance.

So Lucio, Samuel and Cambiasso raised their hands at the same time to signal offside and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that we are thinking too much.

"What are you doing?! Get back on defense!!" Zanetti sprinted past, waking everyone up.

Totti didn't touch the ball, he looked like a passerby who strayed into the pitch and had nothing to do with the game.

however.

Mene shot out from a diagonal stab and blocked the ball.

"What?" Cambiasso turned to look at the linesman without raising the flag!

Mene is not offside? !
The Inter Milan players all focused on Totti, and no one noticed the humble Mene.

"Oops!!" Lucio hurried to the penalty area, but it was too late.

Mene crossed the middle, and Totti stood comfortably and pushed the ball into the net.

Cesar jumped up angrily, but didn't know who to blame, because even he was only paying attention to Totti.

"boom!!!"

At the moment when the ball hit the net, the entire Roman stadium fell into endless carnival. Even across the runway, Caesar clearly heard the crazy shouts of the fans.

Totti, who scored the goal, ran two steps and sat on the ground, raising his hand to signal Ranieri to make a substitution.

"Can't you hold on?" De Rossi immediately squatted down and asked in concern.

Totti patted his cheek, handed the captain's armband to De Rossi, and said: "It's really uncomfortable to play with injuries, and you can't even run. The rest will be left to you."

Ranieri immediately called back Vucinic who was warming up, and soon, they completed the substitution.

Fast as if always prepared.

"Jose, I think, we have been completely played." Faria looked gloomy, while Mourinho on the side had already distorted his expression because of anger.

It was so!
Before the game, Totti found Ranieri and said that he must play.

"As long as we can beat Inter Milan, we will be able to narrow the gap to one point! I must play this game!" Totti said very firmly.

"Are you kidding? You still need to rest for at least a week, how can you barely play. I have already arranged, you take care of your injuries and don't think too much." Of course, Ranieri rejected Totti.

"What about this?" Totti retreated, "We have always declared before the game that I will not play. If I play temporarily, it will definitely cause chaos at Inter Milan. They think I have recovered from my injury, and maybe I will still play 100%. Mourinho will definitely strengthen their guard and let them focus on marking me. However."

"However, you are just a barb in their hearts. Can our offensive focus be placed on other people?" Ranieri fell into thinking.

After discussing for a long time, Ranieri decided to take a gamble.

As it turns out, he was right.

Totti, who was off the field, glanced at the angry Mourinho, Portuguese, for the championship, I can give everything, can you?
"Does it hurt?" Ranieri asked.

Totti bared his teeth and said: "It hurts, but seeing Mourinho's expression, the pain is worth it."

The two laughed.

"Obviously Totti is just a cover! A nuclear weapon that cannot be detonated! This is a very crazy gamble! But Ranieri succeeded! A substitution opportunity for a goal, a sure-fire deal!"

"Damn" Mourinho fell into extreme anger, and Rome took advantage of Inter Milan's unprepared time and started their onslaught.

First, De Rossi broke through Motta and then split the sides. Riise faced Sneijder's defense and forcibly broke through the cross.

Tony overwhelmed Samuel with a header, but fortunately Cesar reacted quickly and saved the ball.

Then Milito stopped the ball and made a mistake and returned the ball to Perotta.Roma launched a quick counterattack, Vucinic quickly cut in after receiving a through ball, his shot missed by the slightest, but Cesar did not respond.

"Jose! If this continues, we will be finished!" Faria said anxiously, and Mourinho finally came back to his senses, and patted his cheek: "Yes, there is still time, let me think about it."

"Don't let them come to their senses! Continue to attack!" Ranieri stepped forward with his pockets in his pocket and personally supervised the battle.

"Since Totti has gone down, let's go back to our original tactics. Let them defend well, tighten the middle, and" Mourinho hadn't finished speaking, and the Roma fans began to celebrate wildly again.

Riise made a diagonal pass from the left and entered the penalty area, but no one touched the ball.

Lucio landed and looked back, and it was Mene who received the ball on the edge of the box again.

"Damn little thing!" Lucio rushed out, but Samuel also reacted in the same way, and the two rushed out of the restricted area together to surround Mene.

"Mene cross!"

"Tony leaned on Zanetti and fell to the ground to shoot!"

"Goal scored again! Roma leads Inter Milan 2:0!"

Tony, who scored the goal, made his classic "washing ears" celebration action. Lucio stood there with a face of frustration, and Mene, who was squeezed by him and Samuel, climbed up again and jumped on Tony's body to celebrate the goal.

"His uncle! What are you doing?!!!" Mourinho rushed to the sidelines, jumping angrily.

Fabio and Antonio were standing on the sidelines. Seeing Mourinho's distraught look, they almost burst into tears from laughter.

"Cool! It's so cool!" Fabio only felt a bad breath.

"How about Caesar's statistics?" Antonio flipped through the technical statistics.

"0 shots! 2 breakthroughs! This is the treasure of Inter Milan? The German emperor? I'm bah!"

Andre Leonardo glanced at the two guys, and his nose twisted in anger at the villain's success.

Mourinho!Caesar!
What are you doing? !

Hurry up and think of a way!
"We see that Inter Milan has tightened up the defense! There are still 10 minutes to the end of the game including injury time! Are they going to stick to it until the end of halftime?"

There were varying degrees of cursing in various bars in Milan.

"Where is Mourinho's balls?! He just watched the Romans ride on our heads and shit?!"

In the sound of cheers all over the stadium in Rome, Inter Milan persisted until the end of halftime.

Mourinho turned and walked into the player tunnel first, and the tired Inter players walked slowly to the sidelines.

Because of the chaotic tactics, Inter Milan did not have a few chances to counterattack.

Caesar wasn't tired, he just felt aggrieved and had nowhere to use his momentum.
