| Giovedì 25 Novembre 2010 10:27 |
 (The Roma - D. Giannini) If you open the dictionary of the Italian language, the word "decisive" says : decisive, crucial, decisive, conclusive. You could add another synonym: Francesco Totti . The decisive fact. Indeed, the "diecisiete" . The light in the middle of the field. What has sparked Tuesday night against Bayern . The German players have seen him on the sideline and at that time began to lose a game for a while 'thought I had already won. They saw the specter of defeat, have also tried to jump forward in a desperate search for the third goal before entering. Because I knew that with only one goal lead, there would not hurt him. Too little to counter the play of red and yellow captain. When they saw the scoreboard with the number 10, the Bavarians know how it would end. Perhaps even more of the same Totti which has weighed so long abstinence from early-season goals. And the captain, after the game, said it clearly: "It's great because it was not so marked a decisive goal. I hold myself and I'm happy to Rome. " If you keep it close Francis. The Romans held close it. The man who, in times that matter, is always there. From a life, always. The ball of the penalty against Bayern, born of his enlightenment, he weighed a ton. Half the people in the stadium, now overwhelmed by emotions, did not even have the courage to look. He did not make a wrinkle to the door and shot her right. As four years and a bit ago. At Kaiserslautern, Italy was one step away from a sad elimination from World Cup in Germany, then that foul on Grosso and the faces of the blue that they looked as if to say: "And who pulls mo?". A moment later, Francis was there on the diskette. He and the handful of screws that were put in the ankle Only four months earlier. Even there, no one had the courage to look. All eyes closed. Except him, right in the network and the race to the world title. decisive. On that occasion, as it was the beginning of his career, when the game decides the derby in his youth. Or with that goal in the under-21 European Championship semi-final against France. You could tell even then that this blond boy would change the history of football. Surely of Rome, bringing in the capital on the third championship in its history. In his own way, with 13 goals, all from the huge specific weight. Think about the first one, which unlocks the match against Bologna in the first day after the protests for the removal Cup in Italy. Or last, that of 17 June against Parma. That day became a legend, but history had already begun to do so. Even in the face to all of Europe, the lanky with a spoon van der Sar in the semifinals in 2000 while his companions looked at him and said "this is crazy." It was not crazy. It was, and is simply the best. One who in 2002 scored in the Bernabeu for the first victory for an Italian team after 50 years. A few months later, also in Spain, has been applauded around the Mestalla in Valencia. All rise, as a Marassi to pay homage to a volley of science fiction. From Genoa to Milan, because the "diecisiete" brought back Roma to victory at San Siro after an eternity. And a genius like him makes things big: fifty meters to the foot and the ball perfect lob to Julio Cesar. It was October 26, 2005 and recently began his career as a striker. That the Golden Boot with 26 goals, that of the victory against Lyon Gerland, the doublet at Milan in November 2006 (another taboo broken), one of the goals at Inter after 50''in the Italian Cup final. One could even snub as a quarter of an hour played against Bayern, he could not blame the coach who made him play before. Another. Not him. He comes in and decides the game. "He made a difference - he said Ranieri -. I knew I could count on him. He understood my philosophy. I choose only the good of Rome and gave all his contribution. " Tuesday night Francis was happy as a child : "We were not started as we wanted, down by two goals was difficult because before we had a Bayern wanted to win. However, with determination and will to a great team we have reversed the result. Yes, we can no longer hide. We are a team from the summit, we must be competitive in Europe. We hope to prove it. " With his goals. How to Tuesday. "It's beautiful, because it was not so marked a decisive goal." Glad to be back decisive. Quiet France ', I've always been. |
