Lazio, who always wins, plays the game slowly. When the football falls at their feet, the rhythm of the game will be slowed down.
This made the players and fans of the Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur very uncomfortable.
The overall pace of the Premier League is very fast, and they are used to this fast pace.
But when encountering an Italian team like Lazio, their rhythm cannot be increased. It feels like a person is stuck in a quagmire, unable to move forward.
The experience of this kind of competition is really terrible.
Tottenham Hotspur fans not only have to worry about the fate of Tottenham Hotspur, they will also find this game boring.
When Lazio had the ball, even Tottenham fans couldn't help but yawn...
But if anyone thinks that Lazio plays this way mainly for defense and cannot threaten Tottenham Hotspur's goal, then they are completely wrong.
This slow pace makes it easy for people to let down their guard.
But with Lazio's slow back and forth kicks, they pushed the football to the edge of Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area little by little.
Then, when Tottenham Hotspur's defense was not very focused, they suddenly sped up the pace! That's a faster pace than the Premier League!
Tottenham Hotspur was obviously stunned by this sudden change of pace. They only reacted when Tottenham Hotspur sent the football to the goal!
But it was too late. When Cavani followed up in the middle, there was no Tottenham Hotspur defender around him. He could calmly take off after receiving the ball. The ball was saved by Gomez.
But I still got into the net!
"Cavani! Cavani! Cavani!! Lazio leads Tottenham Hotspur 1:0 away from home!"
The Italian commentator exclaimed excitedly.
※※※
The relaxed-looking Lazio fans in the stands collectively jumped up and cheered when the goal was scored. This proved that they were still passionate.
Dong Qiudi is also among these people.
This sudden change in rhythm fascinated him.
The previous series of slow-paced passes back and forth were just to confuse the opponent.
So Tottenham Hotspur really got fooled. When they got used to Lazio's slow pace, Lazio suddenly accelerated the pace and speed, catching Tottenham Hotspur off guard!
This change in rhythm can fool your opponent into applause...
※※※
Lazio took a one-goal lead before the end of the first half. This allowed Tottenham Hotspur to press out and attack. This is Tottenham Hotspur's home court. If they lose the game at home, then
But it's completely different from losing a game on the road.
Redknapp also knows the difference between home and away games.
So his team has to attack.
In this way, Lazio can comfortably carry out defensive counterattacks.
Using their excellent defensive capabilities to defend Tottenham Hotspur's offense, and then counterattacking when the time is right, can give full play to their advantage of speed.
This gives Tottenham a headache.
At the end of the first half, Lazio basically had more threatening attacks than Tottenham Hotspur. This was because Lazio's counterattack was in place.
"Tottenham Hotspur is finished." A commentator said. "Let Lazio score first. Tottenham Hotspur will be very, very difficult to play this game. The game has entered the 'Lazio rhythm'!"
The so-called "Lazio rhythm" is a special term given to this phenomenon by the media. It refers to the game after Lazio takes the lead in the game, that is "Lazio rhythm". Because Lazio is good at playing this kind of downwind ball, once it allows them to take the lead
, then the opponent has very few options, and Lazio can easily guard against it. If the opponent still wants to win, it must attack. As long as it is attacked, Lazio can play defensive counterattack. With Lazio's control, they can play defensively.
It’s so appropriate to fight back…
※※※
There was not much suspense in the second half of the game. Lazio firmly grasped the advantage on the away field and the game was always under their control.
Giroud, who was hyped by the media before the game against his old club for the first time, was also frozen under the defense of Jose Passarella and Chiellini, and basically had no acceptable performance.
Van der Vaart was replaced in the 60th minute because he basically made no contribution to Tottenham Hotspur's offense on the court.
Bell and Lennon have many opportunities to get the ball on the wing, but there is no space for them. Even if they have the ball at their feet, so what? Both of them need enough space. They are not the kind of people who play in small spaces.
There are players who can drill in and out.
In the second half, Lazio scored another goal and then completely entered a defensive rhythm.
Keep the football firmly at your feet. Use up the clock by passing the ball back and forth.
This kind of playing style will naturally cause Tottenham Hotspur fans to boo in the stands, because Lazio's playing style is too negative and not good-looking.
Chang Sheng doesn’t care.
He was leading 2:0 and was still playing against Tottenham Hotspur, playing open football. He was crazy to do this.
Finally, the referee blew the whistle and Lazio defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2:0 in the away game!
※※※
At the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng showed a winner's smile to the reporters below.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but we won again."
he said.
After hearing what he said, the reporters wanted to beat him up... This is so mean!
"But this is not Lazio's traditional tactical style..." Some reporters were unconvinced.
Chang Sheng asked him, "Did we win?"
"Such a victory is not valuable enough..."
"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me whether Lazio won or not." Chang Sheng said aggressively.
The reporter stood there, speechless, neither answering nor not answering.
"But such a victory is not worth showing off..." An old reporter standing next to him stood up to speak for his colleague.
Chang Sheng sneered: "I'm not showing off, I'm just stating a fact, that is... me!" Chang Sheng pointed at himself with his thumb, "I am the winner! It's that simple, whether you admit it or not,
I'm always a winner. I can get three points. I can qualify early, and you can just watch. No matter what kind of criticism you publish in your own media, you can't change this fact. This is really... sad
.”
Chang Sheng finally shrugged and shook his head, with a look of regret on his face.
A group of reporters choked him speechless.
Because what they said is indeed reasonable. No matter what, he is the winner. Whether you like him or not, admit him or not, he is the winner, and this does not depend on their will.
This is probably the most frustrating fact in the world for them.

After the game ended that night, Lazio flew back to Italy overnight. There was a Rome derby on the weekend. Although there was no suspense about this game, Chang Sheng still had to prepare for the game with all his strength. He would never accept the influence of underestimating the enemy because of his pride.
team, which led to the team losing this city derby.
The Lazio players seemed very happy after winning the away game. Even though it was late, the Lazio players on the plane were still very excited.
They gathered together in small groups to chat.
But the coaching staff did not enjoy any victory.
Everyone, including Dong Qiudi, is already preparing for the weekend match against Roma.
The task assigned by Changsheng to Dong Qiudi is to watch Roma game videos and find out their strengths and weaknesses, and pay more attention to their recent state curve.
Then form a report.
This time it was no longer a test. Changsheng not only required tasks, but also required completion time.
Because the team must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible.
You can't wait until the day before the game to tell the players what to do in the game.
Chang Sheng arranged a day for Dong Qiudi, which was really tight. But there was no other way, it had to be done.
But who would have thought that Dong Qiudi's performance would surprise Chang Sheng.
Just after he assigned the task, Dong Qiudi already gave the answer.
"It doesn't take a day. If it's Roma's latest game, I've watched it all."
Chang Sheng opened his eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief.
"Have you watched all the games in Rome?"
"Yeah, uh, I like watching games. Even if it's a game played by our rivals in the same city, I'll pay attention, or even more... After all, they are our enemies, and I want to know more about them..." Dong Qiudi was a little embarrassed.
"Oh? Then tell me?"
"In the first four rounds of the league, Roma's performance was very poor. They didn't win any of the four games. They drew two and lost two. In the first round, they were tied by Cesena at home. In the second round,
They even suffered a 1:5 away defeat to Cagliari. In the third round, they were tied 2:2 at home by Bologna. In the fourth round, they lost 1:2 away to Brescia. Until the fifth round, they lost 1:0 at home.
Defeating Inter Milan was their first victory... but then they lost to Naples 0:2 away from home... But overall, I think their condition is recovering, and then they won at home.
Genoa and Lecce tied with Parma away from home, at least they didn’t lose..."
As soon as he mentioned this, Dong Qiudi opened up the conversation and started talking non-stop.
"Six people in their team scored goals, but Juan scored an own goal. Borriello is their current top scorer and scored three goals. Vucinic is the second scorer and scored two goals. They
Basically, these two people started the game on the forward line. In addition, in the Champions League, Borriello also scored two goals..."
"They received three red cards in the first nine rounds of the league, which shows that their discipline is not good... In the last game against Lecce, Totti received a red card, so he will not play against us.
, This will reduce Roma’s offensive threat...But De Rossi is the core of their midfield, we should pay attention to guard against..."
The more Chang Sheng heard this, the wider his mouth opened.
Others couldn't hear what Dong Qiudi said in Chinese, but they could guess something from Chang Sheng's expression.
Obviously, this kid frightened Chang Sheng... (To be continued...)
ps: Today’s ninth update, there is one more update left!
