 As such, the team played without any real striker, as Totti occupied what later came to be described as a false-9 role.This system proved effective for Roma upon its introduction during the 2005–06 season, as on 26 February 2006, Roma broke the Serie A record for most consecutive wins with a 2–0 victory over Lazio, following an 11-match winning streak.As a result, Roma climbed from 15th place to 5th place in the table.
