Chapter 184 One of the most dazzling teams in Europe (6704
Inter Milan's defeat in the Coppa Italia did not affect their performance in the league.
Perhaps it is precisely because of their failure in the Italian Cup that they strengthened their belief that they must defeat Lazio in the league!
So in the same round of the league, in another game at the same time, Inter Milan defeated Cagliari 3:0 at home.
The two teams are still eight points apart.
In the next round of the league, both sides will encounter the problem of playing in the Champions League.
So in the next league game, I probably won’t go all out, but will choose to stay focused.
Inter Milan challenges Chelsea. These are two games full of gimmicks, Mourinho's current club versus his former club.
Until now, it has been two seasons since Mourinho left Chelsea, and Chelsea fans still miss him.
Of course, he is also missed by the English media.
This game made them very excited and excited.
There is so much to say about the return of the Madman to Chelsea.
Compared with the game against Inter Milan, Lazio's opponent, who always wins, has slightly fewer gimmicks, and games without Inter Milan are more worthy of attention.
Lazio's opponent in the quarter-finals was Porto from Portugal.
As for gimmicks, there are some if you dig a little deeper.
But it's not interesting.
It's just that when Chang Sheng was in Valencia, he led his team to defeat Porto led by Mourinho in the Champions League final. This is how the feud between Chang Sheng and Mourinho began.
But now six seasons have passed, and Mourinho has long since bid farewell to Porto. Porto has changed from player to head coach one after another, and things have changed for a long time.
Therefore, there is no point in hyping this topic, and there are probably only a few people who are interested.
On the other hand, Meirelles played against his old club, which is worth mentioning.
The former main defensive midfielder of the Portuguese giants was abandoned by the club due to serious injuries last season... Putting it this way, there is something to watch.
As for the feud between Chang Sheng and Porto, it’s too far-fetched.
※※※
In the twentieth round of the league, four days before the match against Porto, Lazio challenged Parma away.
The Uncultivated faction still didn't get a ticket for this game.
But no one cares about them anymore.
Their topic is now outdated.
No matter how hard they grit their teeth, the Uncultivated Faction must accept this arrangement, that is, they will not be able to go to the away game...
Of course, they would never have imagined that Lazio Club's blow to them was not just that simple...
In the game against Parma, Changsheng did not send out a rotation lineup in the away game to let the main players rest as people thought.
Instead, he went directly to the main force.
Such a team defeated Parma 2:0 away from home.
The absent-minded Inter Milan was tied 0:0 by Naples in the away game!
This is really unexpected.
The surprise was not that Inter Milan was tied with Naples in an away game. Naples has indeed made significant progress since returning to Serie A.
Surprisingly, Inter Milan tied, but Lazio did not. Inter Milan was absent-minded, but Lazio was still focused, as if it was not the Champions League quarter-finals four days later.
During this period, the media have been hyping Mourinho's return visit to Stamford Bridge, but have ignored the news from Chang Sheng.
Everyone thought that Chang Sheng would temporarily abandon the league before important games as usual.
Parma is not a weak team, and they are playing at home.
Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng took advantage of this opportunity when everyone was slacking off and grabbed three points...
Now, the point difference between Inter Milan and Lazio is even greater.
It has expanded from the original eight points to ten points!
The two games lasted the same amount of time, so Mourinho only knew the result of Lazio's side after his own game was over.
When Mourinho knew the result of that game, his face suddenly became very ugly.
The Italian Cup is almost on the verge of being eliminated, and the league has also been stretched to ten points.
Could it be that this season, Inter Milan has lost all three majors again?
※※※
The reason why Chang Sheng plays all the main players in the league is because he does not plan to continue using this lineup in the away game against Porto.
From this moment on, Lazio will have to compete on three fronts: league, cup and Champions League.
This also places high physical demands on the team.
Lazio almost collapsed in the end last season because too many injured players could not be rotated, and only one person struggled to support some positions. In the end, Gotze worked hard until he was exhausted, and the whole team's physical fitness was greatly affected.
This time we must learn lessons to win and avoid injuries and physical exhaustion.
So he needs to use the rotation from the beginning.
In the away game against Porto, Changsheng sent out a substitute rotation lineup.
This lineup is actually enough to face Porto.
Chang Sheng now has a very small strength gap between the two lineups.
It’s also hard to tell who is the main player and who is the substitute, between Motta and Cazorla.
Because they both play about the same amount of time, their roles are also very important.
Therefore, there is actually no distinction between the main players and substitutes in the Lazio team. It is only convenient for the media to refer to them as main players and substitutes. The latter is generally referred to as rotation.
Then everyone started using it.
In the game against Porto, even if he is not the main player as everyone thinks, he is still very strong.
Even if it's an away game, it's not a big problem to come back with a draw, right?
The goal of always winning is the top finals. If you can't even get past Porto, then how can you win the championship?
This is not called pride and underestimation of the enemy, this is called domineering.
During the peak years of the Barcelona Dream Team, they also had this kind of domineering attitude.
Other opponents don't pay attention at all. Even if they have such an attitude, they can still win.
Now in this time and space, Guardiola's Barcelona also has such signs this season.
Except for those few really strong opponents, Barcelona has an extremely easy time against other teams.
In today's European football, the two most eye-catching teams are Guardiola's Barcelona and the ever-winner Lazio.
The former swept across Spain, and except for Real Madrid, other teams were ignored by them.
In the 22 rounds of the league, Barcelona won 17 games, drew four and lost only one. With 55 points, Barcelona ranked first in the league, two points ahead of Real Madrid.
Twelve points ahead of third place Valencia. The "Western Super League" has begun to take shape.
And Lazio is even more amazing. In Serie A, they have not lost a ball this season, with 22 wins, two draws and zero losses! With 68 points, they are ten points ahead of Inter Milan and ranked first!
In Spain, after all, Real Madrid and Barcelona still compete. In Italy, Inter Milan worked very hard, but they were still ten points behind Lazio... Serie A is completely a one-man show for Lazio.
The meeting between these two teams is probably a big event that the whole of Europe... no, the football world around the world is looking forward to!
What will happen when two teams from the same school and with deep connections meet?
※※※
In the away game against Porto, Lazio ended up drawing 1:1 with Porto.
Lazio didn't win, but they didn't lose either, and they even got an away goal.
For Lazio, it actually equals a win.
Because the next round is at Lazio’s home court…
Lazio's combat effectiveness at their home court doubled without explanation.
Porto had no chance.
So after the game, even the Portuguese media were not optimistic about Porto's ability to make a comeback away from home after such a bad performance at home...
"This is our home court, and the opponent did not field the strongest lineup! Before the game, we thought this was the opponent's disdain and ridicule of Porto... But now it seems that Chang is right. Lazio really has no reason to play in such a team.
What a waste of time on the team!”
But in fact, the media wronged Porto. Porto did not play badly, but Lazio was too strong.
When Lazio's mad dog tactics started running, Porto couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all...
Their front, center and backfields all fell into Lazio's control, and they could only passively follow them.
Being able to draw with Lazio 1:1 at home is already great.
After the game, Porto's head coach, Portugal's experienced veteran coach Jiezuado Ferreira, admitted: "We are not on the same level as Lazio. This sounds very frustrating... but this is Portuguese football.
The gap between the level of top football in Europe..."
As a result, the old coach's statement earned him the fate of being dismissed from get out of class.
Originally, not winning at home was enough to make Porto fans and management suffocate, but in the end, the coach said such words that lowered morale.
That is simply boosting other people’s ambitions and destroying one’s own prestige!
Chang Sheng never thought that such a game that he didn't care about would lead to the dismissal of an old Portuguese coach...
And this matter also made him lie on the ground.
Everyone said that Chang Sheng was indeed a "coach killer". How many of the head coaches he played against were dismissed?
When he was coaching at Valencia, he sacked Barcelona's coaches Antic and Louis van Gaal, and Real Madrid's Vicente del Bosque. Now he's coaching at Lazio, and he's sacked the well-known Portuguese coach Felipe Fernandes.
Leila was dismissed.
Ferreira started coaching Porto in 2006 and brought five domestic championships to the Portuguese giants in three years. It can be said that he has made outstanding achievements, but he was fired immediately...
Chang Sheng’s title of “the fellow killer” is not for nothing!
But Chang Sheng felt that he had wronged him...
You know, he didn't say anything too outrageous.
He neither mocked Porto nor happily recalled the time when he defeated Porto to win the first Champions League title...
As a result, he didn't cause trouble, but trouble did.
Some Portuguese media also went to ask Chang Sheng, who has returned to Rome, what he thought of this matter.
Chang Sheng felt strange at first. How could he know what was happening in Portugal when he was in Rome?
Later, I heard the introduction from this Portuguese reporter.
Only then did he understand what was going on.
So he replied with a laugh: "What does this have to do with me? Porto's dismissal of the coach is their own business. You come and ask me what I think. What opinion can I have? I have no opinion at all!"
