Walking back to the penalty area, Mihajlovic reached out and gave Stam a high-five and thanked him.
If Stam hadn't made a decisive move just now and slid to the ground fiercely and accurately, Su Dong's single sword would have been in danger.
"It's okay, that little guy is not easy. Be careful when you go up with him." Stam reminded.
Mihajlovic nodded repeatedly. He had been playing in Serie A for many years and had met countless stars, but one like Su Dong was really rare, even unique.
"I was a little surprised just now. I knew he was fast, but I didn't expect it to be so fast!" Mikhailovich was a little frightened.
In the information before the Lazio game, the coaching staff repeatedly reminded the players to pay attention to Su Dong's speed and explosive power. Mihajlovic also remembered it, but after playing football for many years, based on his past experience, he always felt that his height was too high.
How fast can Mi95's center go?
There's no way he can be as fast and as agile as a short guy who's about 1.7 meters tall, right?
But that moment just now, he was really frightened.
Unexpectedly, this kid was actually as nimble as Lopez, Chiesa and others who were over 1.7 meters tall. He was even as fast and explosive as them. He was completely caught off guard.
This is completely inconsistent with Newton's laws!
But with the lessons learned just now, he will pay attention now.
"Their plan is to start the game with a strong show to scare us." Stam sneered.
The Dutch hunk is not as big-bodied and brainless as he appears on the outside. On the contrary, he is able to gain a foothold in European football because he is smart enough, calm enough, and knows how to analyze situations and opponents.
"We have the upper hand, just play steadily and there will be no problem." Stam said confidently.
Mihajlovic also agreed with his partner's statement.
…………
…………
The direction of the game was just as Stam expected.
Sporting Lisbon kicked off a wave of attacks, but it didn't last long.
The most threatening attack was the cooperation between Sudong and Quaresma, who suddenly broke into the penalty area and almost formed a single shot, but was destroyed by Stam's slide tackle and failed to form a shot.
Subsequently, the game came completely into Lazio's control.
The strength is at an absolute disadvantage, the age and experience of the players are also at an absolute disadvantage, and it is an away game. Even the head coach looks far inferior to Mancini, who has performed well in coaching in Florence after the transformation of the legendary player.
No matter how you look at it, Sporting Lisbon has no chance of winning!
This is also the reason why the outside world is not optimistic about the Green Lions.
But there is one thing that Sporting Lisbon did well.
That's defense.
Since last season, Sporting Lisbon's defense has been very well organized. After adding Albertini this season, once the three midfielders are adopted, the team's defense is often well organized.
Especially considering that both Albertini and Andre Cruz are familiar with Serie A.
Among them, Albertini is particularly excited to play Lazio, because for him, returning to Serie A is like returning to his family, and he naturally wants to let his family see the best of him.
…
In the first ten minutes, Lazio had the advantage, but they could only create threats through free kicks.
Mihajlovic, the master of free kicks, was in charge, and Sporting Lisbon's fouls tried to avoid key areas, and several free kicks were near misses.
After that, Lazio tried to play a coordination, Chiesa passed the ball directly to Lopez, but the Argentine failed to hit the right position due to the interference of Andre Cruz.
After that, Favalli tried to pass in from the left. Chiesa and Pepe competed for the top, but neither of them got the ball. Lazetic, who was in the back, tried to hit the goal, which turned into an anti-aircraft gun.
Lazio had the advantage, but the offense was also curbed.
The two teams fought fiercely, but their offense failed to create much of a threat.
Lazio's problem is mainly that both forwards are not tall. Facing Sporting Lisbon with four defenders and three midfielders, it is difficult for them to get opportunities. After selling Crespo, they lack a dominant player in the middle of the penalty area.
Center.
Sporting Lisbon's problem is that the midfield and backcourt are completely retreating, and the frontcourt and wings are also frequently returning to defense. Naturally, it is difficult for the offense to threaten. Sudong faces Stam and Mihajlovic alone.
A world-class central defender, it was very difficult to cope with it.
These two central defenders are very experienced and very capable. They are both famous players in Serie A and know how to defend. Su Dong can't get any advantage from them head-on, so he can only adopt the old method.
Guerrilla warfare, fighting for consumption!
Mihajlovic is a thirty-four-year-old veteran, and Stam is thirty-years-old. The two old men combined are sixty-four years old, and Su Dong is only eighteen. He really doesn’t believe it. He is still exhausted.
But them?
Therefore, Su Dong desperately played a war of attrition with the opponent, expanded his scope of activities, and dragged the two central defenders around, especially against Mihajlovic.
This is an aboveboard conspiracy, and Lazio's two central defenders can do nothing about it.
This is true for the players, and so is the team.
Both teams' strategies are conservative.
Although Mancini is playing at home, he prefers to win the opponent steadily. Boloni is originally conservative, and when facing Lazio away from home, his mentality becomes even more negative. It can even be said that as long as the goal is not missed, he will win if he does not score.
In this case, the game seemed more intense than exciting.
But the consumption is very large.
…
In the second half, the game changed sides, but Mancini changed his cautious attitude in the first half.
A substitution was made after just five minutes, with Simone Inzaghi replacing left back Favalli.
I guess he saw that both Quaresma and Ronny were so attached to the ball that Mancini felt that it would be a waste to play two full-backs, so he simply took one and replaced it with a forward.
As a result, just six minutes into the game, Lazio stole the ball in the backcourt and quickly counterattacked.
Su Dong had no time to pay attention to Ronnie, who was blocked because of sticking the ball, because he saw Simeone quickly dribbling the ball forward.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "He is like a hyena from the Pampas grassland. Once he has set his sights on the target, he will never let go until he bites off a piece of meat!"
Su Dong thought of Andre Cruz's comments before the game.
This bandit leader didn't move forward the whole game, why did he suddenly do this?
"Be careful about No. 14!" Su Dong shouted loudly.
But his reminder was too late.
The cunning Simeone dribbled the ball straight into the weak spot of Sporting Lisbon's defense, attracting Barbosa, and quickly passed the ball to Stankovic on the right, and his midfield partner quickly passed the ball.
Chiesa missed the ball, and after Simone Inzaghi stopped the ball in the middle, he dunked past Pepe who was diving too hard and hit the target by chance.
One to zero!
In an instant, the entire Olympic Stadium cheered crazily!
Simone Inzaghi also looked very excited. He rushed directly to the sidelines and kicked the billboard on the sidelines with all his strength. The whole crowd roared at the top of their lungs to vent their inner excitement.
Everyone in the audience was a little dumbfounded. Was he too excited after scoring a goal?
Su Dong recalled a piece of tidbits before the game in his mind.
It is said that Inzaghi collided with Roma defender Samuel during a game in February and suffered a comminuted fracture of his wrist.
Two days ago, he had just recovered from injury and had not yet returned to compete. He met his ex-wife who had just divorced during the winter break in a restaurant. As a result, this handsome Italian guy who was still suffering from emotional torture took the initiative to go over and want to communicate with his ex-wife.
But he found that there was another man standing next to his ex-wife.
What was even more hurtful was that during the conversation, he also learned that his ex-wife had just returned from a long vacation in Brazil with her new boyfriend, and that she had completely recovered from the failed marriage in body and mind.
The whole heart is broken into a QR code!
Seeing little Inzaghi kicking down the billboard, Su Dong thought to himself.
This is indeed a younger brother!
He is also a handsome guy, but his brother is much more chic. His love scene is just like the stadium, a man who lives on the offside line!
…………
…………
Conceded a goal first, but Sporting Lisbon had no good solution.
Bologna has no plans to make any substitutions.
Sudong, Albertini, Barbosa and Andre Cruz are constantly reminding their teammates to be patient at all times.
Conceding the ball first, this was expected by Sporting Lisbon.
Even losing the away game 0-1 was not surprising.
The ball can be intercepted, but the formation cannot be messed up.
No matter what, you must maintain a compact formation. This is something you must always remember when facing Serie A teams.
There was still a stalemate on the scene, and it looked as if no goal had been scored.
But after adopting a three-forward style of play, Lazio's offense gradually picked up.
Sporting Lisbon's counterattack was more attempts to create threats through the wing.
Su Dong still ran in a wide range. Not only did he retreat in the middle, he also actively pulled out to the side. This was a considerable drain on Lazio's two central defenders. As the game progressed, the physical consumption became more and more obvious.
Lazio players also committed frequent fouls, especially against Sudong, Ronny and Quaresma.
Among them, Simeone and Mihajlovic violated Sudong the most, especially Simeone.
As long as Su Dong retreats to get the ball, he will basically foul decisively in his defensive zone, interrupting Sporting Lisbon's rhythm.
This is obviously Mancini's strategy.
This gangster's old boy is always nagging and using some rubbish to irritate Su Dong, such as "Is this all you can do?", "If you dare to take the ball again, I will shovel your legs next time!",
"Bad boy, have you stopped breastfeeding?" and so on.
The dirty movements on his feet and hands, and a lot of trash talk in his mouth made Su Dong understand why Beckham couldn't help but want to kick him.
If he hadn't kept calm, he would have really wanted to kick him or punch him.
But Su Dong has been patiently waiting for the opportunity.
He could feel that Mikhailovich was dying.
Time passed bit by bit, but Su Dong always remained patient.
Until the 76th minute.
Lazio once again broke into the edge of Sporting Lisbon's penalty area. After Pepe took the lead and poked the ball away, Albertini got the ball and passed it forward. He accurately retreated to the center circle and got the ball in his own half.
At the feet of Su Dong.
Su Dong retreated very deep. Mihajlovic followed not far behind him. After seeing Albertini passing the ball, he took the initiative to run towards Su Dong, but Su Dong did not stop the ball directly.
He turned sideways to the right, stopped the ball behind Mihajlovic, and pushed his legs hard.
Before Mihajlovic even got close to Su Dong, he found that he was already like a supercar that had stepped on the accelerator. He released the handbrake and flew past him in an instant, chasing the ball.
