The artificial turf at the Luzhniki Stadium was very uncomfortable for Lazio players who were used to playing on natural turf.
The home team CSKA Moscow performed normally because they trained and played on such a turf.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and then CSKA Moscow scored first.
CSKA Moscow fans cheered in the stands. They were so happy to be able to lead a team like Lazio at home, which shows how prestigious Lazio is now...
Although CSKA Moscow took advantage of the field and advanced by one goal.
But the reason why a strong team is a strong team is because they have the ability to face competitions under different conditions.
Just like an all-terrain off-road vehicle.
You can walk on good roads, but you can still walk on bad roads...
Nothing can stop them.
Lazio launched a fierce counterattack after falling behind and successfully equalized the score before the end of the first half.
Hernanes equalized the score for the team with a long shot in the 42nd minute.
※※※
Chang Sheng didn't make any adjustments during the halftime break.
Because the tactics have been arranged before, and they are all based on the special circumstances of this game.
For example, in view of the situation where football rolls relatively fast on artificial turf, players are required to make more direct passes during the game.
Don't be afraid of losing your clothes.
It doesn't matter if the pass is missed nine times, as long as there is a chance of success, it may lead to a goal!
We have to continue to play like this in the second half.
The first half did not reflect the power of tactics, mainly because the players were not very accustomed to the field.
Under the pressure of the opponent, it was not easy for Lazio's players to control the football during the game.
However, after adapting in the first half of the game, Lazio has gradually taken the initiative.
They have completely adapted to the field and this tactic can be used.
※※※
At the beginning of the second half, Lazio strengthened its offensive and continued to use multiple direct passes.
Rocky and Candreva kept cutting in from the wings, looking for space behind the midfielder of CSKA Moscow's defense.
After failing countless times, Candreva finally seized an opportunity and scored the go-ahead goal for the team. His assist was Hernanes, who scored the first goal.
.
A direct pass over thirty meters!
After Lazio left Lazio, in the game, Changsheng no longer strictly required that the distance of any pass should not exceed fifteen meters.
That's too slow to advance. You can make medium and long passes when necessary, especially during defensive counterattacks.
This is even more true in the new tactics that place more emphasis on players' autonomy and initiative.
"2:1! Lazio took the lead in the away game for the first time! Although the artificial turf made them not very adaptable, the tenacious Lazio still used their strong strength to take the lead in the away game! Not only that, they also won two
Away goal!”
※※※
The cheers at the Luzhniki Stadium were suppressed by Candreva's goal.
The final score of this game was 2:1. Lazio scored two away goals in the away game and still led the opponent in the total score. This result is considered very good.
As everyone expected before the game, CSKA Moscow could not stop Lazio at home, let alone expect a comeback at home by Lazio...
That's not a level contest at all.
"Faced with the powerful Space Force, the task of defending the earth obviously should not be handed over to CSKA Moscow. They are the Army. What can they do in the face of flying aliens?"
After the game, a Moscow media said this, revealing the secret in one sentence.
Then the term "Battle of the Earth" spread like wildfire, and any game against Lazio could be titled "Battle of the Earth".
Chang Shengxin thought that if the media was really hyping it up like this, then he would be facing a patchwork of "Earth's motley crew"...
The match between a team like CSKA Moscow and Lazio can be said to be a "battle for the defense of the earth". It really makes my "cosmic team" lose value!
※※※
In another high-profile Champions League quarter-final, Barcelona visited Arsenal, and the battle between the two sides was earth-shattering.
Arsenal showed courage at their home court and proved to people that they are not a foil. They were once a team that could reach the Champions League final and compete with the Barcelona Dream Team...
In addition, the game between Arsenal and Barcelona is also considered to be a preview of the game between Lazio and Guardiola's Barcelona.
Because Lazio's tactics are somewhat similar to Arsenal's tactics.
And all three teams play offensive football.
So Arsenal is seen as a substitute for Lazio.
This view makes Arsenal unhappy.
What a bullshit substitute!
We are Arsenal!
We are unique Arsenal!
When we started playing this kind of football, Lazio didn't know where to play in the mud!
Being seen as a substitute for a team like Lazio makes Arsenal unhappy.
But no matter how unhappy it is, the strength gap between the two teams is still there.
The final score was Barcelona's away draw with Ascenana 2:2.
For an away team like Barcelona, this score is already considered very good.
They did not lose and even scored two away goals.
Back at their home court for the next game, Arsenal will have no chance.
※※※
Lazio defeated CSKA Moscow 2:1 away from home.
Barcelona drew with Arsenal 2:2 away from home.
It seems that it is not a problem for these two teams to meet in the semi-finals.
Finally, the most pinnacle showdown in European football is coming!
Five-time champion Lazio versus six-time champion Barcelona!
Who is the real European King of Kings?
Although both sides still had a quarter-final game, everyone automatically ignored this and began to look forward to what would happen if the two teams collided...
The Catalan media specifically listed ten reasons why Barcelona will definitely defeat Lazio this season and become the European champion again.
One, because Tiki-taka is a tactic they invented and they are the originator of the tactic, so they should play better than Lazio, a copycat.
Second, Guardiola’s coaching ability is no less than that of a regular winner, or even slightly better than a regular winner. Because in his first season as the head coach of the first team, he won the Triple Crown, and then completed the sixth crown.
Wang’s great achievements. Did Chang Sheng win any championships when he first coached the first team?
Third, analyze from the perspective of team strength. Barcelona defeated Lazio, Messi is the well-deserved number one in the world, Xavi Iniesta is a midfield master, and Butzquez's role in the midfield cannot be ignored. Pique
The defense formed with Puyol is the defense that concedes the fewest goals in La Liga.
…
10. The most important point is that this Champions League final will be held at the Bernabeu Stadium, the home stadium of Real Madrid. For Barcelona, this is a final that must be entered and a final that must be won. In the Champions League final at the Bernabeu, defeat
Defeating Lazio was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone. It not only proved that they are the best in the world, but also showed off their power on the territory of their rivals.
For these ten reasons, Barcelona will definitely win!
As long as we defeat Lazio, we will definitely be the champion.
Apart from Lazio, is there any team in European football today that can threaten Barcelona?
Not at all!
Catalan media are full of confidence in the performance of Barcelona and Lazio.
※※※
On the other hand, the Italian media also have great confidence in Lazio.
Even though they always criticize Lazio internally, they are still very united in foreign wars.
Lazio has no opponents at all in Serie A.
Defeating Barcelona is their ultimate goal.
In response to the ten reasons listed by the Catalan media, the Italian media also listed the same ten reasons why Lazio must win, tit for tat.
In fact, it refutes the ten reasons listed by the Catalan media one by one.
For example, in the Tiki-taka dispute, Catalonia has always claimed that Barcelona's is the orthodoxy, and everything else is heresy. No matter how successful Lazio is, they still learn from Barcelona. They can only be regarded as Barcelona's apprentices, and there is nothing to brag about.
The Italian media said that you have been playing Tiki-taka for so many years and have not won a few championships. How dare you say that you are orthodox? If Guardiola hadn’t studied with Chang Sheng for so many years, I’m afraid you wouldn’t even think about those three things.
Crown champion, six crown champion. That’s why you are our apprentices!
Another example is the coaching level of the two head coaches.
Italian media said: "Guardiola learned from Chang Sheng, which is enough to explain the problem. If Guardiola's coaching level is higher, why didn't Chang Sheng learn from Guardiola?"
It's still early before the game, and the media from both sides can't hold themselves back.
※※※
Back in the league, Lazio defeated Bologna 3:2 away from home.
One day later, Inter Milan was tied 2:2 by Fiorentina in the away game!
The points gap between the two sides finally showed signs of loosening.
After this round of the league, Lazio's lead over Inter Milan has expanded to ten points!
With five rounds left in the league, Mourinho's Inter Milan has been unable to recover.
If they want to win the title, they have to count on Lazio losing four of their next five league games, but how is that possible?
Lazio only needs to win two more league games to win the league title in advance.
Whether Chang Shengcheng admits it or not, this will be their fifth consecutive league championship in the league!
The great cause of five consecutive championships will be achieved!
From then on, the Blue Eagles will join Turin and Juventus as one of the most glorious dynasties in Serie A history.
And what makes people feel terrible is that this team shows no signs of declining, and their dynasty may continue...
Five consecutive championships!
Six consecutive championships!
Seven consecutive championships!
Surpassing Lyon’s eighth consecutive title!
The ultimate goal may be... ten consecutive championships!
In such a fiercely competitive Italian Serie A league, if Lazio can really win ten consecutive championships, I'm afraid the whole world will be shocked...
At this time, many people remembered what Chang Sheng said when he first came to Serie A.
"I'm here to conquer this place, and I do what I say!"
Now, they must admit that Chang Sheng is really conquering this place step by step... (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
