After the game against AC Milan, Lazio's main players can finally rest in the next league game.
Next, they played away to Livorno. Lazio relied on the substitutes to win a victory, 1:0. The score was not big, but it was good to have three points.
Because the next middle of next week will be the Champions League group stage again.
Lazio currently has two wins from two games in the Champions League and ranks first in the group with six points.
Real Madrid and Olympiacos both won only one game, ranking second and third.
The fourth place is Werder Bremen, which has not won a game so far.
Everyone originally thought Olympiacos would be the bottom team in this group, but they didn't expect it to be Werder Bremen now.
It was really a surprise.
However, Werder Bremen today is obviously no match for Lazio, who is in good shape.
When the Lazio players stepped onto the Weser Stadium with this mentality, they received a head-on blow.
Just ten minutes into the game, Lazio was scored by Werder Bremen.
And next, the initiative in the game is in the hands of Werder Bremen!
Lazio's players couldn't do anything to regain the initiative.
Werder Bremen has fully entered the state. This time it is Lazio who follows Werder Bremen's rhythm.
Just at the beginning of the second half, Werder Bremen scored another goal. They led Lazio 2:0 at home.
Lazio didn't get a goal back until Benzema in the 77th minute.
But it doesn't help anymore.
The rhythm of the game did not return to Lazio's hands with Benzema's goal.
In the end, Lazio surprisingly lost this game on the away road.
After the game, Werder Bremen's head coach Schaaf seemed very proud: "Please don't say this game is an upset, it is not an upset. We deserved to beat Lazio!"

Chang Sheng said nothing about this.
He just trained his players one by one on the plane back from Bremen to Rome.
"Do you think your opponents are easy to deal with? Because they are last in the group. But who stipulates that a low-ranked team must lose to a high-ranked team? Don't forget what team Lazio was before. We are also penniless.
It’s not worth it! So do we have to surrender? Then how can we still have Lazio today? So don’t think that if our opponents are weaker than us and ranked lower than us, we will definitely win! This is the result of being arrogant and underestimating the enemy!
This game teaches you a lesson: in any game, no matter what opponent you face, don’t underestimate your opponent!”
Because they lost in the Champions League. As punishment, Lazio's training intensity has been increased.
In the weekend's league match, Lazio defeated Udinese 2-0 at home.
Finally, I no longer see that arrogant look of belittling the enemy.
Chang Sheng then canceled the punishment with satisfaction.
Training intensity dropped to normal levels.
After the game, the team also has a day of rest.
There is no Champions League group stage this week, so Lazio can concentrate on preparing for the Rome derby at the weekend.
Roma's performance this season is also pretty good.
It can be said that Roma's results in the past two seasons have been good. Obviously they were also affected by the Calciopoli scandal, but it was a positive impact.
Due to the lack of enough strong opponents, Roma has always been able to rank in the top four in the past two seasons and qualify for the Champions League.
If you just compare your current performance with your past self, Roma fans can still feel pretty good.
However, their sworn enemy from the same city was not far away from them.
It is inevitable for people to feel a little jealous when they see that their neighbors' lives are much better than their own.
When the Roma fans were happy that they had qualified for the Champions League in the new season, when they turned around and saw their neighbors Lazio celebrating their league championship in the Plaza de España, the Roma fans felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads.
All the good mood was gone.
People are so irritating...
Of course, during this Rome derby, Roma fans can laugh at Lazio for losing to Werder Bremen, who ranked last in the group, in an away game.
But when they thought that they also defeated Real Madrid 2:0 at home, these Roma fans couldn't help laughing.
Because no matter what Schaff said, everyone knows that Lazio's loss to Werder Bremen was just an accident. It will not affect their final group qualifying result. This is what makes Roma fans the most unhappy. Now it is no longer
One can deny the fact that Lazio is a strong team.

Before this Rome derby, Chang Sheng did not take the initiative to provoke a war.
If some people think that this is because Chang Sheng has changed his nature, they are totally wrong.
Because he has been like this in the last few Rome derbies. He didn't want to be like the first game before he played Roma, with all kinds of wars of words.
After analyzing this result, the media believed that this did not mean that Chang Sheng was keeping a low profile, but quite the opposite. It showed that Chang Sheng did not take Rome seriously at all.
For this mortal enemy in the same city, Chang Sheng felt that there was no need to use psychological warfare to interfere with the opponent. Just relying on hard power. Lazio could also defeat Roma!
This fact made Roma fans even more unhappy, and although they were unhappy, they could not restore their poor self-esteem by defeating Lazio in the game.
The reality makes them frustrated.
They are eager to have a good time, even if they win once because of the referee's misjudgment. That's fine!
It's a pity that Chang Sheng didn't even give them such an opportunity.
Roma never won even once.
This result made Roma fans particularly unhappy.
Franco Sensi is perhaps the most unhappy person among these Roma fans.
Because he is the president of the Club of Rome.
He brought Chang Sheng with his own hands, and let him go with his own hands, and finally pushed him to his mortal enemy.
The relationship between the two parties was on fire. Chang Sheng had ridiculed him in public more than once, and he had also criticized Chang Sheng many times.
Chang Sheng once told Sensi that if he didn't want to put too much pressure on his heart, it was best not to watch the game live.
Sensi, on the other hand, is very stubborn and goes to every Rome derby, whether it is in the league or the Italian Super Cup.
Of course, except for that early exit, the old man's psychological quality was also developed. No matter how the game was lost, he never left early again, and he always persisted until the end of the game.
This is true even for the Italian Super Cup before the season.
But for this game, Sensi may not be able to go to watch the game.
He suddenly fainted a month ago and was seriously ill and was hospitalized.
He was discharged from the hospital half a month later.
He planned to watch this Rome derby.
But no one from his personal doctor to his family agreed.
This made Sensi lose his temper.
But even so, no one agreed to his request.
In the days leading up to the competition, this matter was put back on the agenda.
Sensi is going to watch the game.
"This is my team, and I'm going to cheer for them on the spot!" Old Sensi sat on a chair, slapping the armrests vigorously and said to a circle of people standing in front of him.
From doctors to family members, he surrounded himself in a circle, and they all stood in front of him.
"And this is our home stadium. As the chairman, I want to go there even more!"
Everyone looked at each other. The eldest daughter Rosella stood up and said: "Dad, your body is no longer suitable to watch the game live. You must respect the doctor's opinion."
The personal doctor next to him nodded.
Sensi spread his hands: "What are you worried about? Are you worried that I will be irritated? I have experienced so many defeats, and I have long been used to it. Besides... this game is our home court, our home court!"
"
No one said anything, everyone just looked at him.
Old Senxi looked at everyone's eyes and sighed.
"Okay..." He shook his head.
He already knows the result.
Even at home, Roma will lose to Lazio nine times out of ten...
That man becomes more energetic as soon as he hits Roma. Unless he leaves Lazio, this disparity in power will always exist.
"As you wish, I won't go to the scene."
After saying that, he supported the handrails with both hands and stood up slowly.
The eldest daughter Rosella and his wife Maria wanted to help him, but he waved their hands to stop them.
"No, I'm not that old yet. I'm only eighty-one years old!"
His attitude was resolute, and then he turned and walked towards his study.
A group of people looked at his back in silence.
※※※
Roma's home match against Lazio started on time on the evening of October 31st.
For the first time, the president of Roma Club, Franco Sensi, did not appear on the rostrum of this game.
This was reported by the media two days before the game, so no one was surprised.
But it still aroused quite a bit of discussion.
The official news is that Chairman Sensi is in poor health and is not suitable to watch the game live.
But some people said that he was angry with Chang Sheng and did not want to go to the scene to be abused again.
But in any case, Sensi was not able to go to watch the Rome Derby live. This was the first time since he became the president of the Roma Club.
Some people may have realized that an era in Rome is slowly coming to an end.
The person sitting on the rostrum instead of Franco Sensi is Rosella Sensi, the eldest daughter of Roma Club Vice-President and the second most powerful person in the Roma Club.
Franco Sensi, on the other hand, sat in front of the TV and watched the live broadcast of this game.
Beside him was his wife Maria Sensi.
In addition, the private doctor is waiting outside at all times for fear of anything going wrong.
At this time, the score on TV was already 3:1, and it was not the home team Roma that scored the three goals, but Lazio.
Roma only scored one goal, which saved some face.
On TV, Chang Sheng was given a close-up shot.
He was high-fiving his assistants.
Although there are still twenty-five minutes left before the end of the game, no one doubts that they will lose this game.
"3:1! Lazio will definitely win!" the commentator on the TV said.
Maria Sensi turned to look at her husband, a little worried.
But Sensi was expressionless.
"What a pity. If the Roma club had not given up on Chang, the situation might have been completely reversed now... Franco Sensi personally missed the opportunity to make Roma a real giant!"
Maria suddenly heard her husband next to her sigh.
