there are several story about AS Roma defeats on Champion League on Bayern Muenchen. One lured me is what Roma's captain words....
"We don't play football we only defend, no shoots on goal, its old Catenaccio (Italian strategy)".
following this issue the tension between high onto Captains and Coach. Ranieri Replies " If we got Draw Result you'd be so happy didn't you?".
This Story ends up in Ranieri "hot seats" conditions; rumors say that he will be only gave 4 games to prove a point. if not Lippi and Leonardo is on queue for him.

I can see why Totti is really getting frustrated. I think that was the primary reason why Rainieri was kicked out of Chelsea as Roman Abrahamovic felt that his ideas were old and would not take his club forward. I think the same thing is now coming to harm Roma. That too at a time when the club has a good crop and other clubs are in the state of flux.
That is why this frustration is boiling over for Totti.
Cheers!

Totti was right when saying this, what Roma did in Munchen is not worthy of a top team like Roma. I cannot understand why a teams' only purpose is to destroy the football what the other team is trying to do. Of course, it would have been a good result for Roma if they drew, but it would have been very unfair. Bayern tried to play football from the beginning till the end, Roma was only counter attacking, and they manage maximum five of them the whole game long, and only two of them were a bit dangerous. I can understand when an underdog plays against a great team and tries to defend, because they have no other chance, and they would be very glad with a point, but teams like Roma should try to play some football. I am a great Bayern fan and I was very happy when Muller and Klose have scored, and I think that was a reward for the patience that Bayern has showed during the whole game. It was a highly deserved win, and a highly deserved punishment for the style Roma was playing.
