Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 112 League Champion
The Roma team celebrated wildly in the locker room, but no one went too far.

it is necessary.

The season isn't over yet; there are two league matches left, and one more Europa League title to be decided.

Every match is crucial, as it determines who wins the championship.

The team had a day off the next day.

Then comes the 37th round match, a home game against Cagliari.

In the previously concluded match, Inter Milan defeated Chievo, putting the pressure on Roma.

The two teams were separated by two points before the match. If Roma lost the game, Inter Milan would take control of the game.

However, Roma withstood the pressure at home. Facing a Cagliari team with nothing to play for, Shan Yongzhuo scored twice and Totti added another goal, leading Roma to a 3-1 victory at home and maintaining their two-point lead.

Then came the most crucial match: Roma's away game against Chievo.

All the matches in the final round of the league started at the same time, so Roma had to do everything they could to win in order to take control of the game.

This is a match that neither side wants to lose.

Before the match, Spalletti once again gave a passionate pep talk.

"As everyone knows, our goal at the start of the season was the league title, and now we are getting closer and closer to that goal!"

"Is the league title the goal from the start of the season?"

Someone nearby whispered a question, and even Totti looked at Spalletti with a puzzled expression, making Spalletti very embarrassed.

I wanted to show off, but I failed, which is frustrating.

However, he continued to give inspiring speeches, and the players perked up.

Actually, even without Spalletti saying it, everyone is looking forward to the league title.

For example, De Rossi.

De Rossi is a native Roman. When Roma won their last league title, De Rossi was not yet a first-team player, so he did not receive that honor.

Despite being a world-renowned player, even clubs like Real Madrid have a special fondness for him.

However, De Rossi's accolades list currently only includes one World Cup title, three Italian Cup titles, and one Italian Super Cup title, but he has never won a league title.

Roma does have some players who have won top-flight league titles, such as Totti and Toni.

But regardless of whether they have won a championship or not, no one would refuse an honor that is within reach.

Spalletti's speech wasn't particularly inspiring, but the players were spontaneously filled with fighting spirit, which proved that the speech was successful because he was referring not only to the league title but also to the Europa League title.

In fact, Spalletti's desire is no less than that of the players; after many years of coaching, he has never won the Serie A title.

His fighting spirit had almost been worn down, but now, with the championship within reach, he really hopes the team can win it.

This is not only an honor for the club and the players, but also an honor for his coaching career and an important part of his journey to becoming a top coach.

……

Everyone worked very hard in the training that followed.

Totti is a typical example.

As a veteran of Roma and a key figure in the team, Totti dedicated his entire career to Roma, but his record of club honors is not particularly rich.

In particular, the Europa League title would be Roma's first truly prestigious European-level trophy.

Totti's diligence also inspired Roma's fighting spirit, and then, with great determination, they traveled to Verona to challenge their final league opponent, Chievo.

This match attracted a lot of attention because if Roma beat Chievo, or even just drew, they could win the league title with a huge goal difference over Inter Milan.

Chievo doesn't really care; they've managed to avoid relegation this season, neither too high nor too low.

However, Chievo players certainly don't want to see their opponents being crowned champions on their home turf.

Spalletti also fielded his strongest lineup on the other side. Shan Yongzhuo joined Totti on the field.

"Let's cheer each other on, Dan, and win our second championship!"

"Okay...okay."

Totti spoke very seriously, and Shan Yongzhuo was also inspired to fight.

During the match, Totti was very proactive and tried hard to score goals. He also kept looking for opportunities to set up Shan Yongzhuo, which made Shan Yongzhuo play very comfortably.

So, Shan Yongzhuo repaid Totti with an outstanding performance.

Chievo started the game very well. They wanted to fight back and were able to snatch the victory from their opponents in the final round, which would be very satisfying.

Chievo's resistance paid off, catching Roma off guard early on and taking the lead in the 5th minute.

However, their cheers lasted only a dozen minutes.

In the 19th minute of the match, Shan Yongzhuo, from a near-parallel angle to the goal on the left side of the penalty area, used his powerful leg to kick the ball into the far corner, helping Roma equalize the score.

After that, the others also found their rhythm.

In the 42nd minute, De Rossi's powerful shot put the team ahead. In the 55th minute of the second half, Vucinic assisted Totti to score a goal from close range.

1 is better than 3!

Roma have taken a two-goal lead.

In the 75th minute, Pizarro delivered a through ball, Totti's shot was saved, and Vucinic followed up with a shot that put the ball into the goal.

1 is better than 4!

Roma secured a resounding away victory against Chievo.

The commentator remarked, "Roma's four players each scored four goals, and together they dismantled Chievo's defense."

"Inter Milan's match on the other side has ended, but it's irrelevant now."

"Roma defeated Chievo away from home, and they finished two points ahead of Inter Milan to win the 2009-2010 Serie A title!"

"Let's congratulate Roma!"

"..."

The moment the game ended, a deafening roar erupted from the stands.

Even Chievo fans applauded Roma for being the league champions and breaking Inter Milan's dominance of the past few years.

Roma's victory is something Italians want to see; no league wants a monopoly.

Now that Roma has won the championship, breaking Inter Milan's monopoly, it is very gratifying.

After the match, the media reported on it, praising Roma's performance and Shan Yongzhuo.

Shan Yongzhuo is considered the biggest contributor to Roma's double victory.

This can be seen from a simple statistic.

Shan Yongzhuo scored 57 goals in the league, averaging 1.5 goals per game, which surpasses the average goal rate of many Serie A teams.

They have scored 24 goals so far in the Europa League, firmly dominating the top scorer list and setting a new record.

The commentators on TV listed these numbers, and the fans watching at home found them terrifying.

"1.5 goals per game, that's incredible!"

"Does that mean that Roma's decision to send in Shan Yongzhuo is equivalent to scoring the first goal?"

Meanwhile, the Italian commentator analyzed, "Perhaps, Shan Yongzhuo's departure from Rome is already on the countdown..."
