Volume Three: City of Courage and Strength Chapter 362: The Only Representative of Italian Football (67/134)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There are many games in the Champions League quarter-finals, so the games are divided into two weeks.

    First of all, this week, there are four Champions League quarter-finals.

    There are four more shows next week.

    Lazio, as the defending champion, will only appear next week.

    This week¡¯s appearances are two other Serie A teams, AC Milan and Inter Milan.

    The Milan duo made their debut at the same time.

    AC Milan¡¯s away game against Tottenham Hotspur left many people feeling that there was no suspense.

    Although Tottenham Hotspur finally reached the knockout stage as second place in Lazio's group, their opponent was the experienced AC Milan.  Even though AC Milan was beaten by Lazio in the domestic League Cup, it's okay for them to go out and teach other teams a lesson.

    ??Especially for a team like Tottenham Hotspur, which has entered the Champions League for the first time in more than 40 years, it is no different from bullying a newcomer.

    After AC Milan drew Tottenham Hotspur, many AC Milan fans or commentators were very optimistic about AC Milan advancing to the quarterfinals.

    Because AC Milan has the upper hand in terms of strength and experience.

    Tottenham¡¯s lack of experience is their biggest weakness.

    As the second team in the group, the schedule is not very favorable to them.

    Playing at home first and then away means that you have to adjust your condition to the best in the first round and try to kill the suspense of the two rounds at home.

    The problem with playing home games first and then away games is that once you encounter an unexpected situation at home, you will push yourself into a dead end.  You will only have to go to the away game to fight your opponent in the second round.

    This is Tottenham's problem.

    So everyone is very optimistic that AC Milan will advance.

    Their performance in the group stage was quite good, with the same points as Real Madrid, and they beat Real Madrid with a win-loss relationship, ranking first in the group.  It was this outstanding performance last season that allowed Allegri to win the favor and support of Milan's senior management.

    AC Milan¡¯s away game against Tottenham Hotspur is also the first game of the Champions League quarter-finals this season.

    There was no suspense in this game.  Even though it is an away game, everyone believes that AC Milan can win.

    Even if you can¡¯t win, it¡¯s still a draw.

    And AC Milan will definitely score goals. If there are a few away goals in hand, Tottenham Hotspur will be in a situation of being "forced into a desperate situation".

    By then, AC Milan will eliminate Tottenham Hotspur at their home court.

    But the final result is surprising!

    Playing at home, Tottenham Hotspur relied on Giroud's header and Bale's solo pass to defeat AC Milan 2:0!

    The first Champions League quarter-finals was an upset!

    Originally, Nesta was determined to turn to Lazio after the end of the season, which was a blow to the team's morale. Now he was defeated by Tottenham Hotspur with two goals in the away game.

    Before the game, everyone thought that the only suspense in this game was how many goals AC Milan could win away from home.

    If we can defeat Tottenham Hotspur with a big score on the road, we can completely kill the suspense of the second round in the first round.

    So at the beginning of the game, AC Milan launched a fierce attack on Tottenham Hotspur's goal, wave after wave.

    Then their defense was riddled with holes and was completely blown away by Bell and Lennon.

    The two used their speed to break through AC Milan's defense. Due to Nesta's injury, there was only one Thiago Silva who could be of great use at the center back position.

    But when facing the powerful center Giroud, he could not gain the upper hand.

    When Giroud was still at Lazio, he played against Thiago Silva of AC Milan.

    His method of dealing with Silva is very simple, which is to use his own body. It is unreasonable, but the effect is very good.  This was what Chang Sheng asked him to do.

    ??In the end he scored a header in the game.

    There was no luck in AC Milan¡¯s failure in this game. Judging from the scene, if it weren¡¯t for their good luck, they would not have lost only two goals.

    This is especially true for the goal conceded by Bell.

    When AC Milan wanted to attack and score goals, Tottenham Hotspur hit AC Milan with a quick counterattack.

    Bell takes the ball from the middle and backcourt and rushes forward with the ball.Throughout the whole process, he relied on speed to break through all the AC Milan players who came up to defend him.

    Especially when he used his speed to break through Thiago Silva at the front of the penalty area, and then sent the football into the goal guarded by Abbiati.

    Throughout the entire process, not one AC Milan player touched the ball.

    Bell simply ran for the ball vigorously and then chased it. With such a simple breakthrough, he managed to defeat AC Milan's entire defense.

    The failure of this game seems to have made many AC Milan fans even more unhappy with Allegri.

    There are calls for Allegri to be dismissed from get out of class.

    But this time, Galliani chose to side with Allegri.

    He came forward to express that the club has great trust in Allegri and they believe that Allegri can bring a bright future to the team.

    ¡ù¡ù¡ù

    AC Milan¡¯s rival Inter Milan also failed in this round of the Champions League.

    They lost 2:3 against Shakhtar Donetsk at home.

    We lost at home and allowed our opponents to score three away goals.

    Inter Milan¡¯s promotion future is in jeopardy.

    At this time, some people began to miss Mourinho.  I think back then, Mourinho's Inter Milan could still reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

    Now in the quarter-finals, Eastern European teams can be bullied like this.

    After Mourinho was driven away by them, they cheered and celebrated.

    Now they are beginning to miss Mourinho again.

    So, people, what is lost is the most precious.  Without loss, you will never know how to cherish.

    But the sad thing is that even if they know how to cherish now, after a while, they will forget this again and still repeat the bloody drama routine of "not cherishing after getting, regretting after losing".

    It just so happens that this is human nature.

    ¡ù¡ù¡ù

    Lazio¡¯s Champions League match is next week.

    But looking at this trend, they are likely to be the only Italian team in the Champions League this season.

    No matter how much the Italian media blackmails Lazio, it cannot change the fact that in the Champions League in recent years, Lazio is the Italian team that has given them the most encouragement. It is they who are defending the dignity and glory of Italian football and for Italian football.  Fight for benefits.

    Although Lazio did not have a Champions League game in midweek, they still played one game, which was a make-up match in the seventeenth round of the league.

    In the first half of the season, because Lazio was going to Qatar to play the Club World Cup in the last two rounds of the league, the sixteenth and seventeenth rounds of the league were rescheduled.

    The sixteenth round of the league has already been made up, and the seventeenth round of the league is only being made up now.

    Lazio faces Udinese at home.

    Considering the continuous double-match week - the previous week was also a double-match week, although there was no Champions League - during this period, there was almost an average of one game every three days.

    So Chang Sheng continues to rotate.

    The game against Udinese, although it was at home, was a winning team but did not have the strongest lineup.

    Lazio played very relaxedly in this game, but it was a little too relaxed.

    ?Allowed Udinese to score two goals on the road.

    Fortunately, Lazio scored four goals in the end and won the game without any danger.

    Chang Sheng was not satisfied with the team¡¯s performance after the game.

    "I would rather lose this game, maybe this will make my players more awake." He said seriously at the post-match press conference.

    The media all expressed that they understood why Chang Sheng was so serious.

    Because this game is the one in which Lazio has conceded the most goals in half a season, why is it so unpleasant to win so often?

    But if you say this, it will definitely make other teams very unhappy - if you concede two goals in a game, is that the most you have conceded?

    How do you want our teams to mess around?

    But that¡¯s the truth.  After twenty-five rounds of the league, Lazio scored sixty-five goals and conceded only nine.

    There have been seven games in which a goal has been conceded, which are also the seven games in which Lazio has conceded the most goals this season - one goal is the most conceded, which fully illustrates how strong Lazio's defense is.

    By the time of this game, Lazio finally conceded two goals.

    This also makes Udinese the first Serie A team to score two goals against Lazio in one game this season

    They are also the second team in Europe to be able to do this.

    The first team is Atletico Madrid. In the European Super Cup before the start of the season, Atletico Madrid scored two goals against Lazio and ultimately lost 2:3.

    Lazio¡¯s defense is indeed very strong this season. They have not conceded a goal in the Champions League group stage!

    With such an outstanding performance, Chang Sheng certainly has reason to be dissatisfied with the team's performance of conceding two goals in this game.

    This is really not hypocritical.

    If possible, Chang Sheng also hopes to not concede a single goal in a season.

    ¡ù¡ù¡ù

    In the twenty-sixth round of the weekend league, Lazio faced Bari at home.

    In this game, Lazio continued to rotate, but instead of using a relatively weak lineup, they used a relatively strong lineup.

    Against a team like Barry, using this lineup will inevitably give people the feeling of killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

    Chang Sheng doesn¡¯t seem to care that there is a Champions League game next week.

    He certainly did not send this lineup because he looked down on Bayern Munich and felt that the defeated Bayern Munich was not as important as Barry.

    He did this just to punish the players who played in the previous game.

    All players who started the game in the previous game were on the bench for this game, or were not on the roster at all.

    Because they don¡¯t play seriously.

    Chang Sheng told them that since they didn¡¯t cherish the opportunity to compete so much, then they shouldn¡¯t compete.

    So in this game, none of them started.

    And it¡¯s not just this one game.

    Chang Sheng plans not to give them a chance to play in the next Champions League game against Bayern Munich.

    ¡°We won¡¯t stop until these players reflect on themselves.

    Facing the underdog Bari, Lazio, who played with a stronger lineup, won easily.

    5:0, a complete one-sided massacre.

    After this game, Lazio has to go to Munich, Germany, to challenge Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
