Two national team match days have caused many teams to suffer from the "FIFA virus", and Lazio is no exception.
Icardi is not the only Lazio player to be injured during the national team match day. The Italian national team's main center back Alessio Campoli also strained his thigh muscle during the game and will need to be diagnosed for six to eight weeks, that is,
No one will be able to see him play for Lazio for up to two months...
Verratti, who is also an Italian international, was also injured during the game. Fortunately, he was only slightly injured and only needed to rest for a week.
But despite this, the number of combat-effective players in Lazio's first team has been sharply reduced.
In the third round of the league, Lazio faced Chievo at their home court. This game should not be too difficult for Lazio.
But as a result, Lazio lost to Chievo 1:2 at home and lost the first game of the season.
Cavani started the game in place of the injured Icardi. His performance was not bad, but not good either, just average.
The key is not how well Cavani performs.
But the entire Lazio team's performance in this game was not very good.
The so-called "FIFA virus" does not just refer to players getting injured while participating in national team games.
Even if the players are not injured, traveling long distances to participate in national team games and then flying back to participate in club games close to home is still very tiring.
Players will feel tired physically and mentally during such an intensive schedule.
Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be fluctuations in status.
Mainly in physical fitness.
Many players who participated in the national team competition were often very tired in the following league matches, unable to run on the court at all, and their legs felt like lead.
That was the case for Lazio's players in this game.
This is why many club managers hate when their players participate in national team competitions.
It's easier to say that when it comes to European games, it's annoying to think about players from South America, Africa and Asia, because they have to fly tens of thousands of kilometers back and forth to participate in a national team game, which consumes a lot of physical energy.
The state is ups and downs, which seems to be of little use to the club.
Chinese players studying abroad have suffered like this.
Why does Magath hate Chinese players so much? Because every time Yang Chen gets better at the club, the national team calls him up to participate in a game. Regardless of whether it is an important game or not, it is a national team game anyway, and Yang Chen has to go back. So
As soon as he gets frustrated, his form will be gone, and he will still be at risk of injury in the national team.
No one could stand this back-and-forth. So Magath later became very annoyed with Chinese players.
Yang Chen is no longer ranked high in Magath's eyes.
The same is true for other Chinese players studying abroad.
There are even players who are working hard abroad who have received notices from their provincial football associations asking them to return home to participate in the National Games...
For the sports department of a province, the National Games is of course very important, but for Chinese players who are working hard outside, the National Games is really not a game worth flying back to... But they have to,
Because their roots are in their hometown, and their organizational relationship is with the Provincial Football Association. The Football Association is their direct management department, and they must obey the call of the Football Association, otherwise you will not be able to succeed in Chinese football in the future.
To be fair, even if he wins often, if his main players always do this, he will be relegated to the sidelines.
As the head coach of a club, it is natural to leave the game in favor of the club's interests.
A player who is never guaranteed to play consecutive club games and who goes to bring honor to his country when the club needs him is unlikely to receive preferential treatment in the club anyway.
After all, it is not the national team that pays your salary, but the club.
I will pay you to recuperate in my team, and then go to the national team to contribute all your strength?
Then I definitely won't do it.
Many clubs don't like to buy African players, especially if the African Cup of Nations is the next year. For example, the Premier League team.
Because African countries are all held in January, at this time for Premier League teams, the official schedule is the most intensive and the intensity of the competition is the highest. Because the important players in the team are African nationals, they have to go back to participate in the African Cup of Nations, at least absent.
Who can endure half a month of competition?
For more than half a month of competition, the team is still looking to bring in a player to replace the player who left the team during the winter break.
Why bother?

Lazio lost 1:2 to Chievo at home, which also surprised the media.
Even taking the "FIFA virus" into account, Lazio should be able to beat Chievo at home.
Who would have thought that the whole team was out of shape and ultimately lost the game.
Originally, after Lazio defeated Juventus with five goals in an away game, there were many articles and voices in the media praising Lazio, which were as disgusting as possible.
Many people even believe that the game against Juventus may be a new starting point for Lazio this season, indicating that Lazio will rise again.
As a result, in the following round of the league, Lazio gave these people a basin of cold water...
It is really surprising to lose to a weak team like Chievo at home.
This game was also considered by the media to be the biggest upset of this round.
Chang Sheng tried to reduce the pressure on the players at the post-match press conference.
"Losing at home is normal. Football is round. Chievo performed very well in this game. We were not in good form, so losing is not a big deal. I would like to congratulate Chievo. Their performance deserves the victory, but at the same time
For Lazio, losing at home is not the end of the world. The season is long and this has just begun."
Sitting in front of many reporters, Chang Sheng said calmly.
After winning the last game, his smiling expression was completely different.
The football world is like this, winner takes all, if you win the ball, you are superior to others, you can enjoy the praise of everyone, and you can also express your emotions to your heart's content.
But once you lose, you will have to endure huge pressure, you will be blamed, you will be scolded, and it may even cause problems within the team, making you very anxious.
Losing to Chievo at home in a game like this means that you are under tremendous pressure to win.
Because I said before that we need to be high-profile, win the championship, and show Lazio's power to the outside world again.
As a result, the game was lost.
Of course, people who are under pressure are not the only ones who always win.
Because Cavani did not score in the game when he replaced Icardi as the starter, he was also widely criticized by the media after the game.
This also put Cavani under tremendous pressure.
After all, after Icardi was injured, how long did everyone think that Lazio's forward line was in crisis.
Although Cavani was promoted to the starting position by Chang Sheng, the media are still skeptical about his outstanding performance.
As a result, in this game, Cavani's performance was mediocre, which gave the media who were not optimistic about Cavani sufficient reasons.
After the game, the media criticized Cavani overwhelmingly.
First of all, Cavani's performance is indeed not outstanding. In the case of benevolence and wisdom, there is a possibility that he will be hacked.
Secondly, through black Kawani, the media can also use black and black to win in disguise.
If you want to directly defeat the winning team, you can't do it now, it will look very unskilled. Because even a fool can see that after two national team games, Lazio players are generally very tired and out of shape. This is an objective factor, often
Even if you win, there is nothing you can do about it. If Lazio loses the game because of this, there is nothing they can do about it. There is nothing to say about the failure itself.
If this is used to criticize Chang Sheng, it is really too low-level. It will not be effective and will only attract evil.
It is much more advanced to use black players to hack Chang Sheng. Through packaging means, their true purpose is cleverly hidden under the words. Those who are interested can naturally see it, but those who are not interested in telling them are in vain.
The media speculated that Cavani was not in good condition, and then criticized the winning hiring strategy between the lines.
It's so naive for a veteran who is almost thirty-five years old to have high hopes for him and win often.
The media believes that due to Icardi's injury, what Changsheng should do is change the formation, change tactics, abandon 433, switch to 442, or some other formation, since there is no need for a center anyway.
Even playing in a forwardless formation is fine.
But the winning team just didn't use it, so they had to use the veteran Cavani.
This problem becomes very serious in the context of failure.
"... He may trust Cavani. But this is not ten years ago, and Cavani is not Klose. Cavani has used his actual performance to prove that he is not worthy of Chang's trust. Chang's trust in Cavani
There is no doubt about Ni's feelings, but perhaps it was this feeling that blinded Chang's eyes and made him fall into an emotional whirlpool. At this time, it was obvious that Cavani should be abandoned, but he chose Cavani...
...This kind of emotionalism will ruin Lazio's season! Sometimes, no matter how good things are, they will eventually turn bad, and the same is true for players. Once a world-class center, it does not mean that he will not be the same when he is thirty-four years old.
He is still a world-class center. Messi's outstanding performance against Juventus does not mean that Cavani can perform well against Chievo...Using veterans is to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, which cannot last long at all...
…”
"The game against Chievo illustrates a problem, that is, the whole Lazio team may have a mentality of underestimating the opponent. They think that they are playing at home and are stronger than the opponent, so winning this game should not be a problem, even if
The performance was not that good, but it was enough... But in fact, Chievo's performance gave Lazio a loud slap in the face! As the head coach, Chang did not change everyone's idea of being arrogant and underestimating the enemy before the game. This is probably his fault.
Dereliction of duty..."
Look, you finally answered the question, right? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
