In the eyes of outsiders, Gotze defeated Inter Milan by himself. He started from the midfield and only made two passes to Modric and Meireles. Other than that, he made breakthroughs.
He passed Inter Milan's defensive midfielder and also passed Inter Milan's back line.
Then he blasted the football into the goal. This goal should be rated as the best goal in the Italian Cup this season.
From Chang Sheng's perspective, this is still a victory for team football.
Individual performance is based on team performance.
This goal illustrates this point very well.
This shows that you are on the right path.
※※※
Mourinho was called to the stands and Inter Milan fell behind again.
Even though it was at home, the game couldn't be played.
Inter Milan's tactics are all about defense and do not consider offense at all.
As a result, they are now one goal behind. It is obviously meaningless to continue to defend and they must attack.
But how can an attack be effective?
The Inter Milan players looked over the field, only to find that their head coach was no longer there... then they remembered that the head coach had been sent off.
This is a double blow to morale.
Under such tight defense, a goal was still conceded. This was already depressing and frustrating. As a result, the head coach was sent off again...
Inter Milan suddenly lost its backbone.
When the game started again, Inter Milan's players basically played independently on the court.
Offensive players want to score goals, and defensive players want to defend.
The two sides are not unified in their thinking, and the result is that they fight independently and are disconnected from the front and back.
Mourinho looked very angry in the stands - he must have continued to defend in this situation!
We only conceded one goal at home, so that’s almost enough!
But you guys are playing so randomly. With Lazio's strength, it will be no problem for you to score a few more goals!
As he expected, before the end of the game, Cavani scored a goal that sealed the victory for Lazio. Lazio finally took away the victory 2:0 away from home, as well as two away goals.
This is a heavy blow to Mourinho, who is determined to achieve a breakthrough in the Italian Cup.
He was suspended in the next round, and Inter Milan still challenged Lazio away from home. The difficulty of the game can be imagined.
If he is not directing from the sidelines...the chance of winning this game is very small.
But Mourinho quickly gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
He doesn't intend to give up.
Even if he fights to the last moment, he will not give up! He is a person who... will never admit defeat!

"At the end of the game, Lazio defeated Inter Milan once again. This is really not surprising at all. If Inter Milan beats Lazio one day, maybe it will be considered news..." commentator Caressa joked.
Regardless of whether it was Mourinho or Mancini, their Inter Milan was crushed by Lazio.
In fact, this problem also exists not only for Inter Milan, but also for teams such as AC Milan, Juventus, Roma and Fiorentina.
The emergence of Lazio, who always wins, is really sad for those strong teams of the same era.
No matter how hard they try, no matter what they try, it's still useless.
Lazio is right above their heads, stable and unshakable.
Lazio has not lost in the league this season. In the 22 rounds of the league, they have won 20 and drawn two, accumulating 62 points. They are eight points ahead of the second-placed Inter Milan in the league!
Such a gap is enough to make people feel desperate in the Italian league.
It seems that Lazio should win the league championship again this season.
After eliminating Inter Milan, and then reaching the final, neither Udinese nor Roma can be Lazio's opponent.
Roma is slightly stronger, but if the opponent in the Italian Cup final is Roma... I'm afraid the championship will be even less suspenseful.
Roma enters the Coppa Italia final, which is like sending a little sheep to Lazio...
So the only suspense this season may be the Champions League...
Whether this team can achieve a breakthrough in the Champions League is what many people are concerned about and curious about.
※※※
Of course, Mourinho is a person who refuses to admit defeat, or rather a tough-talking person.
After the game, he lashed out at the referee.
He believed that Gotze's goal was an invalid goal due to a foul first.
"Cavani obviously blocked and collided with my player. The referee should have blown the whistle to stop the game at this time! Then the next goal would not have happened! I don't understand why my team is treated differently!
"
At the post-match press conference, Mourinho looked like an angry bull.
It's just an Italian Cup. If it were in the past, Mourinho wouldn't even disdain it.
But things are different now.
As the only championship he can win this season, he has to pay attention to the Italian Cup.
In the end, the only chance was gone...
The frustration, dissatisfaction and anger in Mourinho's heart all turned into hot lava and spewed out.
Does Chang Sheng have anything to say about this?
"I only saw the referee make a judgment. If he thinks there is no problem with the ball, then there is no problem. I always respect the referee's opinion..."
This is so hypocritical.
When he was in Valencia before, he directly forced a young and promising referee to retire directly...
When we arrived in Italy, there were many referees to compete with.
As a result, he now says that he respects the referee?
Remember the famous quote from his quote?
"What I respect is justice, not the referee!"
That’s really impressive!
The result has now changed!
To put it bluntly, isn’t it because he has benefited?
Chang Sheng said this naturally as a sign of being thick-skinned, but everyone accepted it.
Who makes him the winner?
The winner can enjoy many privileges, one of which is the tolerant treatment by the media.
And the most important thing is... Mourinho and Chang Sheng are both unpopular people in Italian football. When the two sides have to decide the winner, then everyone still hopes that Lazio will win.
Because at least Lazio's football is good to watch - no, it's not for this reason. It's because Lazio can earn enough points for the Italian League in the European war and prevent the Italian League from being inferior to even the Bundesliga and Ligue 1.
As long as Lazio can still perform well in the Champions League, the points they earn can help the Italian league obtain more Champions League qualifications.
There were rumors a few years ago that Serie A's points were declining and it was about to fall out of the top three.
It may be surpassed by the Bundesliga, and even Ligue 1 is considering replacing it.
If it really comes to that, Serie A might pick up three of the four Champions League names it currently has.
It doesn't seem like much, just one missing, but don't underestimate this one spot. This one more spot can give hope to many Serie A teams.
For this quota, those teams can fight hard to increase the competitiveness within the league, thus improving the overall level of the league. Finally, the competitiveness of Serie A teams can be maintained in the European competition.
Thus forming a virtuous cycle.
In terms of contribution, Lazio is naturally greater than Inter Milan, so if you must choose one of these two teams to support, you should choose Lazio...
※※※
The verbal spat after the game is essential.
Lazio and Inter Milan, Chang Sheng and Mourinho can be considered old rivals.
Every confrontation is earth-shattering.
After the game, the media, celebrities, reporters, experts, and fans who supported both sides stood up to cheer for their teams while attacking the other side.
This has become a repertoire after every confrontation.
So there's not much to say.
Of course Mourinho can vent his dissatisfaction because he is a loser after all.
And Chang Sheng still has more things to do.
With two more rounds of league play, the Champions League quarter-finals will reignite.
By then, I would no longer be in the mood to play with Mourinho in the league.
Therefore, Lazio must win the next two rounds of the league!
In the twenty-third round, Lazio faced Catania at home. This was their last home game during the three-game suspension period.
After this game, their home court can start welcoming guests again.
Although no one could enter the home court to watch the game, there were still many Lazio fans gathered outside the Stadio Olimpico in Rome during the game.
They express their support for the club and the team in this way.
When the game started, these fans did not leave, but continued to stay outside the stadium.
Just like the last game.
But this time, the people from the Uncultivable Sect were nowhere to be seen.
In the end, Lazio defeated Catania 2-0 at an empty home court for the third time.
Lazio played all substitutes and rotation players in this game, so the score was not big.
But that's enough.
At the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng told reporters: "I am looking forward to the game against Fiorentina."
He did not say this because he had any grudge against Florence.
Just because that Pisa game was the first home game after the lockdown.
After two consecutive away games, Lazio was finally able to return to home.
In the twenty-sixth round, Lazio faced Fiorentina at home.
Changsheng is looking forward to that game because when that game is played, the Olympic Stadium will be rejuvenated and revitalized.
Not only him, Lazio fans have also been waiting for it for a long time.
Three home games doesn't sound like much, but if you put it into the entire league, it won't take a single glance.
The uncivilized fans committed the crime in the seventeenth round of the league when they played Inter Milan away from home, resulting in their home stadium being banned.
It took nearly two months to complete the three rounds of home games.
There are six rounds of the league, three home games and three away games.
Next came two consecutive away games, and everyone was impatient to wait.
The Olympic Stadium, with its bustling crowds and fanatical atmosphere, is really nostalgic.
As it is now, it is indeed a bit difficult for the team to play in an empty stadium and the fans to listen to it on the radio...
