When Ballack's football finally fell into Bayern Munich's goal, the entire Allianz Arena suddenly fell silent for a moment.
"Lazio Rhythm" is so famous that now the whole world knows what it means.
So after Lazio scored, everyone thought of the term "Lazio rhythm".
Bayern Munich fans are in a state of shock.
It wasn't just them who fell into the ice hole, but also the Bayern Munich players.
They knew exactly what they were going to do in this game before the game. Their training goal was not to concede the ball.
0:0 This is the best result.
All preparations are for this purpose.
But now, this purpose is gone and has come to nothing.
Then their efforts so long before the game will naturally be meaningless.
This is a huge blow to Bayern Munich's morale.
So when Ballack scored, many Bayern Munich players held their heads in their hands with painful expressions on their faces.
Because they knew that the plan failed.
Heynckes stood on the sidelines, watching everything happening in the stadium with a dull expression.
As expected of Lazio...
He sighed in his heart.
Just before the goal, Bayern Munich concentrated four defensive players in the center area of the penalty area. This kind of defensive strength is already very strong.
Plus Lazio's own four attacking players.
There were eight more players in that extremely small area.
Any normal team will consciously avoid this dense center when attacking. Although the center is important, the opponent also knows this and will inevitably deploy heavy defenses.
A strong attack in the middle is often a waste of time. It takes a lot of time but no breakthrough has been achieved.
Therefore, everyone will choose to go to the wing and open up the situation from the wing. The easiest way to use the wing is to cross from the wing.
Lazio did want to move to the wing at the beginning, so when Azpilicueta attempted to break through vertically, Contento would be easily fooled - this is a common practice.
But he didn't expect that Lazio would take an unusual approach. Azpilicueta quickly passed the football to the center, and the ball quickly returned to the center.
What happened next was all in the small area in the middle.
This kind of confidence and skill can't help but impress people.
Although they are opponents, Heynckes still wants to praise Lazio's performance.
After the football was passed to the center, everyone was still running and supporting, especially Ledesma's forward penetration, which made Bayern Munich think that Lazio's offense would still develop to the wings, and then return to the center until in front of the goal.
Come.
So even if there is a space in the middle, Bayern Munich's players have no time to take care of it at this time. All their energy is on defending the space in the ribs and wings, which gives Lazio an excellent opportunity.
In the end, Ballack broke through decisively from the center, like a sharp dagger, directly inserted into Bayern Munich's heart.
A fatal blow!
Heynckes turned his head and glanced at Lazio's coaching bench. Their head coach Chang Sheng stood up from his seat and walked to the sidelines waving his fists.
This is the man who trained Lazio into what it is today.
What an amazing young man...
This is the first time Heynckes has played against Chang Sheng.
He understood why his predecessor and Barcelona had lost to this young man.
Although Lazio's background is a bit poor, it is still not a real giant.
But Heynckes is very clear that Lazio is creating a rich heritage under the leadership of this young man. In a few years, this will be the rich heritage of Lazio!
※※※
Ballack didn't celebrate much after he scored, because Bayern Munich is the team he played for, and it was also at Bayern Munich that he grew into the world's top midfielder.
He has feelings for Bayern Munich.
Now he plays for Lazio and scored Bayern Munich's goal, which also means that he deprived Bayern Munich of the hope of winning.
So he doesn't celebrate.
Just because he doesn't celebrate doesn't mean that others don't celebrate.
His Lazio teammates swarmed him, surrounded him and hugged him.
This goal broke Bayern Munich's defensive tactics, and the next game was much easier for Lazio.
Now that they have an away goal, they can choose to shrink their defense and slow down the tempo. If Bayern Munich doesn't press it, then it will be like this until the end of the game. A 1:0 away win is pretty good.
Anyway, when it comes to Lazio's home court, Lazio has the final say and will never give Bayern Munich a chance to make a comeback on the field.
And if Bayern Munich wants to press out and attack, if they want to equalize the score.
Lazio will quickly switch from slow to fast tempo.
They are very skilled at this change of pace.
It won't be a problem at all.
Therefore, if Bayern Munich dares to press forward and attack, it will be overwhelmed by Lazio's more intense offensive artillery...
※※※
The next game confirmed this.
At first, the Bayern Munich players wanted to equalize the score as soon as possible and tie the game.
But when Lazio almost scored two consecutive shots, Bayern Munich learned a lesson.
They no longer expect an equalizer, and losing only one goal at home is acceptable.
So they recycled all of them.
I hope the remaining game time can be dragged out.
But even so, they still conceded a goal in the second half...
After David Silva's long-range shot was saved by Butt, the Bayern Munich defender made a clearance and fell to Modric's feet.
Modric reorganizes the attack.
Then Ledesma kicked the football into Bute's goal.
"Ledesma - 2:0! Lazio leads by two goals! This is on the road! This score has almost allowed Lazio to advance ahead of schedule! Although they only scored two goals! But look at Lazio's game state, even if it's just
This ends the first round of the game. In the second round, it may be difficult for Bayern Munich to come back!"
"Bayern Munich is unable to stop Lazio at their home court. They are two goals behind... It is almost wishful thinking to eliminate Lazio... This Lazio is simply too powerful! They are the real Invincible Battleship Universe team!"
"The former Bundesliga hegemon was beaten to the ground by Lazio on the doorstep of their own home. This must be a bad feeling. But they can only accept it because this is the reality. Bayern Munich is weaker than Lazio, and it means being weak.
Being beaten..."
The stands at the Allianz Arena were completely silent, and Bayern Munich fans had to accept this reality. Their team was far inferior to Lazio.
※※※
In the end, Lazio won the game 2:0 on the road, and this victory also set the tone for the second round.
Although the second round of the game will take two weeks, everyone knows that during these two weeks, it will be difficult for Bayern Munich to make any plan to save the defeat.
People can score two goals against Bayern Munich at Bayern Munich's home court. Why can't they score more goals when they return to their own home court?
Bayern Munich has effectively been eliminated.
At the post-match press conference, Heynckes said he was convinced.
"Lazio performed very well. They deserved to win. They are the most powerful team in football today. I am not exaggerating at all. This game against them also taught us a lot..."
Hearing the old coach praising himself so much, he had to have a better attitude towards winning. When someone greets others with a smile, he couldn't go up and just slap him.
So Chang Sheng also gave Bayern Munich a high evaluation.
"Bayern Munich is obviously on the right path. The football they play is very different from last season, and I think that's the right thing. I wish you good luck."
Just like that, in the atmosphere of hello, me and everyone, the first leg of Lazio's Champions League quarter-finals ended.
Lazio are back in Italy and back into the rhythm of their domestic league.
※※※
On February 27, in the 27th round of the league, Lazio challenged Cagliari away.
In this game, we always win but there is no rotation.
In fact, he was not rotated in the first two games.
Since Lazio conceded two goals in the match against Udinese in the supplementary match, he has stopped making extensive rotations.
The eleven players who started the game against Udinese have yet to get a chance to play.
This is Chang Sheng's punishment for them. He would rather risk his team losing the game, but also let the players know that since they made a mistake, they must accept punishment.
This is the rule.
No one, regardless of whether he is the main force or the core, can escape this rule.
Everyone is equal before his ever-victorious rules.
Initially he did this to intimidate players.
Now he no longer needs intimidation, everyone knows it.
So now it's pure punishment.
After the punishment is over, these players will return to the game rotation.
Obviously, we are still in the punishment period.
So even though these players played three games in a week, they still had to continue to start.
Winning often seems to be squeezing the physical fitness of these players, but in fact it is not.
In the game against Cagliari, Lazio's tactics were slow, keeping the football under their feet, using passes to mobilize their opponents, while running less themselves.
In this way, Lazio's physical energy will be consumed much less than its opponents.
Therefore, although they are fighting continuously, there is actually no problem with the physical fitness of this group of players.
Getting to Cagliari is no problem.
In the end, Lazio relied on this slow pace to defeat their opponent 3:0 in the away game.
In fact, it only took ten minutes for the three goals to be scored.
Within ten minutes, Lazio scored three goals in a row.
Then there was no suspense in the game.
In the following time, Lazio passed the ball back and forth, fully mobilizing the opponent and giving itself time to rest.
So after the game, Lazio's players looked very relaxed.
If you look at their expressions, you won't feel how tired they are at all.
Lazio can continue on this path! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
