Chapter 225 Hot Roma Derby

Before the problem of Roma fans was solved, Lin Supo heard another news.

Previously, Zidane was suspended for an additional 3 games by the Italian Football Association because of a serious foul against him during the game, which had a very bad impact.

Because it happened during the broadcast and in full view of the public, there was no way to cover it up.

Even mainstream newspapers in other countries thought the foul was egregious.

So Zidane failed to escape punishment in the end.

At this time, the Roma team also welcomed a financial backer from China, a company that sells mineral water.

Stars are cheap these days, so the entire Roma team went out to shoot commercials together, which was considered a very powerful marketing move by the company called "It's a Little Sweet."

Totti unscrewed the mineral water and took a sip, then he couldn't hold it firmly and tapped it with his foot. Lin Supo bumped into Totti and also tapped the mineral water bottle without the cap with his foot.

The entire Roma team fought for it, sending the mineral water bottle into the goal with the last kick.

Not a drop of water leaked out during the whole process.

Simply...speechless.

But if you give me money, whatever you say is right.

The Roma team is obviously very satisfied with this sponsorship. You should know that it is difficult for Roma to obtain sponsorship from Asia. Although this sponsorship is not too high, it is a very good start for the team.

This shows that Rome's influence has begun to spread in Asia.

Later, "Gazzetta dello Sport" mentioned this on the second page, reminding Roma in a sour tone: "Even if Roma gets sponsorship from China, AC Milan is the most popular team in China."

However, Lin Supo felt that they were a little overconfident.

With the presence of Chinese players, it is inevitable that Milan will be overtaken by Roma.

On March 22, Lin Supo was not selected for the squad due to recurring calf injuries.

And Roma also demonstrated its "Caesar dependence syndrome" very well. Without their emperor, Roma lost the ball in the final stage of the away game, lost the 3 points they got, and only got a draw.

Because of this game, Juventus, which originally performed poorly after losing to Roma but was overtaken, once again took the lead in the standings.

"Turin Sports" mocked Roma for not having "championship DNA". They sarcastically said: "The Romans took the lead, and then they didn't know what to do. They will pay the price for their carelessness. Even if a small team can win

Leading the standings, but they can't lead until the end of the season. Compared with Bianchi, Lippi's rich experience and his understanding of the Italian team allowed Juventus to win, and in the end it will still be Juventus.

To the end.”

In the next game against Cagliari, in the absence of Lin Supo, Roma lost 2:1, which cast a shadow on Roma's championship prospects.

But one day later, Juventus also lost, making the Serie A championship once again full of suspense.

"Corriere dello Sport" also mocked unceremoniously: "Juventus is afraid of locking the championship in advance and losing the league's reputation, so they continue to lose, making Serie A full of suspense. They are simply the best team in Serie A."

, gave everything he had for the development of the league."

Lin Supo, who has fully recovered from his injury, finally returned to the squad.

In the first leg of the Cup Winners' Cup semi-final against PSG, he was still on the bench, but the Roma team playing at home today performed very well, scoring 2 goals before the first half was over.

Totti and Tomasi made contributions respectively.

Not long after the second half started, the opponent scored a goal, but after Lin Supo came on as a substitute, he quickly used a corner kick opportunity to reduce the goal difference between the two sides to two again.

At the end of the game, the score between the two sides was 3:1, which basically guaranteed the Roma team to enter the final.

In another game, Barcelona also defeated Serie A team Fiorentina 3:1. Not surprisingly, Roma's final opponent was Barcelona.

On April 12, against Parma, Lin Supo, who returned to Serie A, scored a hat trick, bringing his league goals to 22, leading the scorer list again.

Six days later, they hosted Fiorentina at home. This team, which had suffered a defeat in the Cup Winners' Cup, obviously wanted to prove to Roma that they had the strength to enter the final, but Barcelona was too strong.

From the first minute of the game, Fiorentina was constantly attacking, trying to press Roma in this way and make the Roma collapse under the pressure.

But by the end of the season, the Roma's resilience was obviously better than they thought.

In addition, the Roma team was eliminated from the Italian Cup early, and their condition and physical fitness were much better than Fiorentina, which competed on the third line. Near the end of the first half, the physical gap between the two sides was revealed.

Fiorentina player Luis Oliveira made a mistake with the ball, and Lin Supo got the ball and launched a quick counterattack. The ball quickly hit the frontcourt, and Fonseca, who played as the left winger, shot a shot to give Roma the lead.

The next game was completely under the control of Roma. Although Florence did not give up, Roma insisted on defensive counterattack, which actually posed a greater threat to their goal.

In the 68th minute, Totti completely sealed the victory with a long shot.

In the end, Fiorentina, who was at home, still failed to beat Roma.

Bianchi said in an interview with the media after the game that the Roma team will work hard for the championship.

"We performed very well. The team's lineup and youth are very reasonable. Everyone knows that now we are only one step away from success. The boys are holding their breath and preparing to win the championship."

Although his statement was ridiculed by Turin Sports News, Lin Supo still received praise from the "Turin Story Club".

The next game is against Lazio, which is the Rome Derby. This game is more important to Roma than winning the championship.

In the first Rome derby this season, Lin Supo was absent and returned to China to play in the Asian Cup. Roma and Lazio tied 1:1. This time Lin Supo was there, so the Italian media were more optimistic that Roma would win.

In such an environment, Lazio's coach, Italian legend Dino Zoff, expressed a different view.

"Roma performed well. They are ranked in a good position, but ranking second does not mean that they can win the derby. The entire Lazio team is ready to surprise Roma. They want to win the game.

Let this game become an important turning point for Roma to lose the championship. It is a very exciting thing for Lazio to knock Roma's championship away in one game."

Lin Supo was blocked at the door of his home by reporters and asked him what he thought about Zuofu's remarks.

Lin Supo still respects Zuofu, so he didn't say too much. He just said: "Since Lazio thinks they can do it, let's see the results in the competition."
