Chapter 373 This is Rome

"Did Paul Fonseca really make such a big mistake?"

"It's only a recent roster change; perhaps he can make some adjustments based on the existing lineup?"

Chris didn't quite understand why they were judging the outcome of the game based solely on the opponent's substitutions.

He remembered that Li Yanqing often changed three people in a row.

"We've already analyzed Roma's lineup."

"Although they are stable, change is not their forte."

"Now, apart from that striker, the rest are all defensive players or box-to-box midfielders."

Do you think they still have a chance to break through our defenses?

At this moment, Li Yanqing was quite confident.

This is the Europa League, but thanks to the experience gained from the Premier League teams, their strength is now quite good.

Against strong teams from other leagues, once they adapt, they can quickly put on an excellent performance.

"Let's make a slight change to the plan, Jens."

"We'll reserve our last substitution for Ibrahimovic."

"Let him rest if he can."

“Okay.” Lyman nodded.

He knew exactly what Li Yanqing was thinking. They would need Ibrahimovic's performance in the final, and it would be a huge loss if he got injured now.

On the field, just as they had predicted, Burton played better and better.

The opponents put up a strong fight, but after the 65th minute, they were basically confined to their own penalty area.

They couldn't even mount an occasional counterattack.

Ibrahimovic and Dybala relentlessly attacked their defense, and everyone knew how desperate they were to score.

With the league title already out of reach, the Europa League is their last hope for the season.

No one needs to remind them; everyone will work hard for it.

Their previous FA Cup victory has fueled their immense desire for the championship!

The turning point of the match came in the 86th minute.

Arrived late.

Ibrahimovic had already left the field, and Ogradi was leading the attack.

Desperate to make amends, Blind lobbed the ball into the penalty area from near the halfway line, hoping that Blind could head it into the goal.

His pass was very accurate, but Roma's defense was much more tenacious than expected.

Two players sandwiched Ogradi, preventing him from jumping.

And so the ball slid over their heads.

Of course, the goalkeeper couldn't just watch the ball go into the goal; he was simply in a rather far position and was originally focused on defending against Ogladi's header, but he was caught off guard.

He had no choice but to stretch out his leg and desperately kick the ball away.

To his surprise, the ball landed at the top of the arc, where David Luiz was positioned...

[Master-level Heavy Gunner]!

This defender, whose offensive attributes are off the charts, unleashed a precise and ferocious long-range shot!

No one could reach the ball, including the Roma goalkeeper who hadn't fully gotten up yet; he could only watch as the ball slammed straight into his own net...

One to one, the score is tied!

At that moment, Paulo Fonseca also couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed onto the grass.

I feel so powerless!

He had no more cards to play offensively and could only hope to defend.

But just as Li Yanqing and his team had predicted, the ball was always lost.

The Roma players were immediately deflated.

They found it hard to accept that after holding on for so long, they had conceded a goal at this crucial moment.

This isn't just about the score being tied.

Instead, they allowed the opponent to score an away goal!

It may seem like a draw, but the scales of victory have already begun to tip.

Don't forget, this is the Olympic Stadium, their home stadium!

For Burton, finally tying the score, Li Yanqing and Lehman can finally relax.

But just as they were about to celebrate, they witnessed an unexpected scene.

The home fans showed no dissatisfaction despite their team conceding a goal; instead, they were singing their own songs in unison.

This is to cheer on the team!

Thousands of people, tens of thousands of people...

What does it feel like to sing along with nearly 100,000 people in one large audience?

Li Yanqing felt his ears go numb from the vibration!

He has always been proud of having the best fans, but Roma's fans were clearly not bad either.

It's hard not to get infected!

"Stand up, guys!"

"The game isn't over yet!"

Are you planning to make a fool of yourselves in front of them?!

Pellegrini, the hero of the Roma team who scored the goal, suddenly shouted.

No matter how well someone performed before, they will now feel that they owe the team something.

His teammates also stood up at this moment, their previous gloom gone, and looked resolutely toward Burton's goal.

It's still a draw; we're far from losing.

They are Rome!

Everyone watched as Roma's players recovered one by one, and then, their form seemed to be even better than before!

"This is really great." Li Yanqing looked around, a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Champions and fans are the reasons for the club's existence."

“I used to think that winning a championship would definitely bring more fans, but I don’t think so now.”

"Sometimes, the fans are the reason we have to win the championship."

"When we have a bigger stadium, will we be fortunate enough to witness such a scene again?"

He remembered Will, who loved to crush beer cans on the field, and Strange, who loved to stand on a chair and wave various banners back and forth...

They also have fans like that.

That's a really lucky thing.

"We need to cheer up too!"

"One day, the club will have such a foundation!"

Quinn tugged at his teammates, moved by the actions of the Roma fans.

Sometimes, the excitement of the opposing fans can also inspire them.

Therefore, in the last ten minutes or so, both sides were in particularly good form.

In a fierce scramble, defenders spared no effort in using any part of their bodies to block the ball out of bounds...

The commentator stood up, no longer caring about sound quality, grabbed the microphone, climbed onto the table, and shouted excitedly.

"This is the stadium where Roma is hosting Burton Albion!"

"The first round of the Europa League quarter-finals!"

"The match has been going on for almost ninety minutes, but it feels like it has only just begun!"

"Yes, the overall score is now one to one, anything can happen!"
