There is another reason why the police are facing a formidable situation, and that is that when the Lazio team arrived in Gijon, during the press conference held in the hotel where they stayed, their head coach Domenech.
Caso made no secret of their arrogant attitude towards the victory in this game: "The competition in Serie A is becoming more and more intense, so we hope to establish the qualifying situation from the group as soon as possible and concentrate on playing in the league..."
When a Spanish reporter asked Caso if this sentence meant that Lazio was bound to win this game.
"Yes, neither I nor the team need to hide our confidence and desire to win. This is normal. Who doesn't want to win?" Casso replied.
Then, another revelation came from Italy. In an interview with "Corriere dello Sport", Lazio's 34-year-old goalkeeper Peruzzi was asked about his impression of Sporting Gijon. The old goalkeeper said:
Albertini's name, and then he couldn't remember the names of any other Sporting Gijon players.
Italian teams generally do not pay attention to the UEFA Cup. In addition, perhaps as Lazio coach Caso said, Lazio must concentrate on the league. This is because currently in Serie A, Lazio has only achieved three goals after nine league rounds.
With three wins, three draws and three losses, it ranks eleventh in the league. Therefore, there is a possibility that Lazio is more or less absent-minded about this game, and Peruzzi's words may not be deliberately provocative. He may indeed be
I only know that Albertini, an old rival, plays for Sporting Gijon.
However, in any case, the nonchalant attitude of Lazio's head coach and their players, while Caso also expressed confidence in victory, in fact, gave people the impression that Lazio thought they would be relatively relaxed.
He won the game, which made Sporting Gijon very angry.
The media in Gijon criticized Lazio for being arrogant. They used Sporting Gijon's recent 4-0 win over Real Madrid in an away game as an example to warn the Italians to be careful about crying when they lose.
"Teach the Italians a lesson!" - This is the title of "Voice of Gijon", which can also be called the pre-war slogan for this game.
This arrogant attitude of the Italians also angered the Gijon fans, so even though the game was a midweek event, the El Molinon Stadium was almost full.
"Teach me a lesson Lazio!" Li Ang almost shouted when he was doing the final mobilization in the locker room, "Use your feet to tell the arrogant opponents that we are capable of beating them to tears!"
"
***********
This focus match of Group C of the UEFA Cup has just begun. Sporting Gijon showed the momentum of the home team without any testing in the midfield. Sporting Gijon's first attack hit Lazio's goal.
In this game, Li Ang sent out the eleven best and strongest players he could.
Goalkeeper Valencia, center backs Hierro and Pepe. The left and right full-backs are Fabio.
Grosso and Ivanovich.
The four players in the midfield are double midfielder Juan.
Carlos and Albertini. Left midfielder Frank.
Ribery, right midfielder Luca.
Modric.
The two forwards Antonio Di Natale and Diego.
Milito.
Modric started, replacing Mata who was injured and missed the game. Ivanovic also continued to win the favor of Li Ang with his outstanding performance as a substitute in the game against Real Madrid and snatched the contract from Allegre.
First-time qualification.
Excluding the injured Mata and Dorado, it can be said that the eleven players in the game now are the most capable lineup of Sporting Gijon. They have the vigor of young people and the calmness of veterans.
It can be considered a relatively reasonable configuration.
On Lazio's side, Lazio at this time is far inferior to its heyday, but after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Their starting eleven, Li Ang still 'recognizes' them all, they are basically all in Serie A.
'Old faces' on.
Their goalkeeper is the 34-year-old veteran Peruzzi, the center back combination is the partner of the 31-year-old Sivilla and the 32-year-old veteran Negro, and the left back is the 26-year-old Zau
Here, the right back is 28-year-old Massimo.
Otto.
The midfield combination is Gianni Keda, Manfredini, Liverani and veteran Dino Baggio.
On the forward line are veterans Di Canio and Inzaghi.
Lazio's Inzaghi - Simone Inzaghi is the younger brother of Filippo Inzaghi who plays for AC Milan. People habitually call the former Inzaghi Jr.
The Inzaghi brothers have similar technical characteristics, that is, they both have excellent positioning in front of the goal. However, the elder brother Pippo is too good at this point, far surpassing his younger brother.
Inzaghi's characteristics are his keen judgment on the path of the ball, his agile posture, his movement without the ball and his finishing touches in front of the goal. He is the most typical opportunist.
The younger brother Inzaghi can be said to have more comprehensive skills than his elder brother because he has a strong body and may be better than Inzaghi in terms of dribbling and ball control and confrontation ability.
However, if Li Ang were asked to compare the Inzaghi brothers, he would give Inzaghi Jr. a very matching comment: Except for his scoring ability, Inzaghi Jr. is better than his brother in everything else!
***********
Li Ang got Lazio's starting list, and when he saw the configuration of their defense line, he started to worry about it. Lazio's center back combination is older. In addition, the most noteworthy thing is that their two full-backs Odo and Zaha
Uri is a player who likes to assist...
What Li Ang likes most is that the opponent's full-back is the type who is good at assisting, which means that as long as Sporting Gijon's counterattack is sharp enough, it can make the opponent uncomfortable.
"...Diego Milito! Beautiful shot! Peruzzi made a wonderful save. The former national goalkeeper of Italy, his performance just now is amazing, as if he saw the young Peruzzi."
In addition, there is an extremely important point. Lazio's starting lineup, from goalkeeper to defender to midfielder and striker, the players are generally older, which makes Li Ang very happy. Facing such a team, Sporting Gijon
The offensive Youth Storm definitely has a chance to show off its skills.
Less than five minutes into the game, Li Ang took advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball to specifically inform Ribery, telling the French youth that this game was a stage for him to unleash his speed and skills!
Obviously, the Lazio people were not mentally prepared for the difficulty of this game and were caught off guard by Sporting Gijon's offensive.
***********
Milito's powerful goal kicked off Sporting Gijon's offensive frenzy. Amid the cheers of Sporting Gijon fans, wave after wave hit Lazio's goal.
After Di Natale received Diego Milito's header in the frontcourt, he stopped the ball with his chest, controlled the football under his feet, and then spun around in a circle, making Gianni Keda who was defending him a little dizzy.
, suddenly passed diagonally to the left front.
Then people saw that after Ribery used his speed to challenge Negro, he suddenly cut inside, and when he was about to shoot from a long distance, he knocked his heel, and Modric, who followed him, shot a long shot, and the football was slightly above the crossbar.
!
"Sporting de Gijon shot continuously. Lazio seemed to be obviously unprepared for this. He did not expect that the opponent's offensive would be so fierce!"
"...Sporting de Gijon played very actively at their home court, and the speed with which they got into the game was amazing!"
This is of course. The tactic Li Ang formulated before the game was to strike first. He wanted to use offense to destroy the proud Lazio people.
What could be more suitable to test Sporting Gijon’s offensive capabilities at this time than a down-and-out Serie A giant?!
The answer is no!
Li Ang used Lazio as a testing ground to test Sporting Gijon's offensive level!
