Although there was no goal, Lazio's counterattack made Real Madrid aware of it, letting them know that even though Lazio was defending and delaying time, they could still hit the football in front of Real Madrid's goal at any time.
To threaten Real Madrid's goal.
If Real Madrid doesn't pay attention to defense, they will wait until Lazio scores another goal at the last moment!
Sure enough, this trick is quite useful.
When the game restarted, Real Madrid seemed very hesitant in attacking.
Of course they scored first, but they were afraid that if they failed to score, Lazio would score another one.
There is still some hope if you are two goals behind, but if you are three goals behind, it is really over.
But if we don't attack, falling behind with these two goals will be the same as being finished.
In the final minutes of the game, Real Madrid struggled like this.
When they finally decided to go all-in, there were only five minutes left in the game.
There is no more suspense in this game.
When the referee blew the full-time whistle, Real Madrid failed to break through Lazio's goal.
In the end, this much-anticipated game ended with Lazio defeating Real Madrid 2:0 away from home.
Such results and competition process really surprised people.
Everyone was looking forward to a close match before the game.
Unexpectedly, it was an easy victory.
This game was very similar to the match between Lazio and Juventus. Before the game, everyone was more optimistic about Lazio's opponent, but during the process, Lazio won easily.
This Lazio team is really unpredictable. When facing weak teams, they can narrowly beat Udinese at home, or they can lose to Chievo.
Then, just when everyone is not optimistic about them, they can burst out with enough energy when facing strong enemies to defeat them, and win easily.
If you praise them for such a victory, they dare to lose to a team like Chievo at home in the blink of an eye...
So Lazio today is really unpredictable.
"...But this also illustrates a problem. That is that today's Lazio is indeed no longer as dominant as before. You want to know how Lazio played in the past? No matter how strong the opponent is, they will win, and they are all big players.
The score won. At that time, they were like tireless robots with no emotions at all. They were very stable, and their stability was disappointing... What about Lazio today? Their performance is ups and downs, ups and downs. This means there is no dominance.
The performance..."
Some media analyzed Lazio's problems after this game.
What they said makes sense.
Lazio's dominance has indeed declined much compared to before.
When playing against a strong team, perhaps the players on the team will pay more attention to it and will be more energetic involuntarily.
And playing against a weak team is somewhat uninspiring.
This is a common problem among many players, not just Lazio.
This is why there are upsets in football.
How boring football would be if the stronger always beat the weaker.
Just have some surprises.
In fact, this is the normal football world.
In the past, it was abnormal for Lazio to be able to defeat anyone they met, win the entire season, win the championship, and remain undefeated in 129 league games.
Now Lazio has just returned from abnormal to normal.

After the game against Real Madrid, we returned to Italy for the local derby between Lazio and Roma.
Lazio faces Roma away from home.
This game is naturally the highlight of this round of the league.
However, the suspense is relatively not as great as other games.
Because no matter how good Lazio's results are in the past, even if they don't win a championship for two consecutive seasons, they have never lost to Roma.
Roma's best result was a draw with Lazio at home, and it was only this time in the past sixteen years.
Lazio still has a huge advantage over Roma.
When playing against other teams Lazio, there may be some underestimation of the opponent, and the thought of being relaxed is something that I never have when playing against Roma.
This is what the local derby is all about.
The hatred between Lazio and Roma is very big.
Especially after winning the championship, this hatred has escalated.
To this day, people often refer to the old Sensi's abandonment of Changsheng as a way to prove what a stupid thing Roma did.
It was obviously Roma who first invited Chang Sheng to coach, but in the end he became Roma's mortal enemy.
There are even human resources management textbooks that use this matter as a case to analyze for students how to correctly treat a useful talent...
This really humiliates the Roma club.
And the big mouth that always wins is still a mockery of Rome.
Every time as time goes by, when everyone's feelings about this grudge gradually fade away, Chang Sheng will jump out to irritate Roma, and then let everyone review the original grudge between Roma and Chang Sheng, and continue to laugh at Roma.
How stupid.
Just irritating Roma again and again made many Roma fans really hate Chang Sheng.

This time Lazio is challenging Roma away from home.
This is a real away game.
In the past, when Lazio and Roma played local derbies, no matter whether they were home or away, they were all in the same stadium, except for the number of fans who supported them.
The team is quite familiar with that stadium.
Later, as Lazio's new stadium, the Wanda Stadium, was completed and put into use, the two teams were completely separated.
Roma continues to stay at their Stadio Olimpico. Although they also want to build a new stadium of their own, the Italian conquest is very careful about this. Since Lazio has become independent, Roma can't hope for it.
So Rome now has to give a large portion of its annual ticket revenue to the Rome City Council.
This made the Roma club very unhappy.
They believe that the Rome City Council favors Lazio and allows Lazio Stadium to become independent. As a result, Lazio has a lot more financial revenue. Economically, they are ahead of Roma. Because their financial situation is better than Roma, they can buy better players.
You can invest more money, so that the team will be better than Roma, and the results will naturally be much better.
Roma believes that Lazio is a very good virtuous cycle, and this cycle started because the Rome City Council allowed Lazio to go out and build its own stadium independently.
This made Rome quite criticized.
They feel that in terms of the name of the club, they are the team that truly represents the city of Rome. Before the rise of Lazio, when people talked about the city of Rome, the first football team they would think of must be Roma Club, not Lazio.
Fortunately now, Lazio has become the most famous team in Rome, which makes their mortal enemy Roma Club feel really shameful.
There is certainly some truth to Rome's complaints.
Because Lazio has indeed made a lot of money with this new stadium.
Because of the new stadium, their annual ticket revenue alone will be 50 million euros more. This money will be a huge sum of money for any club.
Moreover, relying on the Wanda Stadium, the commercial and residential real estate projects built in the surrounding areas have also allowed Lotito to make a lot of money.
Of course, over the years, many labels have been put on Lotito's head, such as "Italian red-top businessman" and "Communist lackey"... It's all because of Lotito
Cooperate closely with China.
There is a good example that proves that his relationship with China is indeed very good - let alone Wanda Stadium, which is named after a Chinese company, let’s talk about the land surrounding Wanda Stadium. The person responsible for the construction of the commercial district is from China.
Wanda Group, and it is also a real estate company from China that invests in building residential investment projects: Evergrande!
Why should we choose Chinese companies to invest? The explanation given by Lotito is that Chinese real estate companies are in the largest and fastest growing real estate market in the world, so they are experienced and efficient. Choosing Chinese companies is a guarantee of quality...
After saying this, many Italians called him a traitor.
Lotito doesn't care.
There's nothing better than making money in your hands.
At the same time, the Rome city government also has to support Lotito, because the Chinese investors he introduced have added at least 10,000 jobs to Rome.
Just solving the problem of employment is enough for Rome city officials to thank Lotito.
Not to mention the other economic benefits this brings.
Therefore, the Rome city government also supports Lazio Club very much.
Those opponents of Lazio will always use this incident to explain that Lazio's success is based on government intervention. Their success is a political and economic conspiracy, not an upright football victory.
This development model is disgusting.
Lotito also turned a deaf ear.
As Chang Sheng said, those are the "far barks of negative dogs."

Rome's Stadio Olimpico is already a bit unfamiliar to Lazio. They haven't played a home game here for ten years and only come once a year to play Roma.
Two hours before the game started, many fans gathered here, all Roma fans wearing dark red jerseys.
They seemed to be looking forward to this game.
This scene made many media feel strange - Roma fans are looking forward to the Rome Derby? This is incredible even if you say it.
Because in the past sixteen years, since Chang Sheng coached Lazio, Lazio has never lost in a Rome derby. This is true whether it is in the league or in the cup.
Lazio is Roma's true natural enemy!
Lazio fans should be looking forward to the Roma derby every time, because it means they can fuck their rivals hard for 90 minutes.
Therefore, every time there is a derby between Rome and Rome, the most active people the media see outside the stadium are Lazio fans.
Even Lazio's away game is no exception.
Today the situation is completely reversed.
What is going on? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
