After the game, the news of Lazio's 5:2 away victory over AC Milan became headline news and sensational news reported by media across Italy.
Although Lazio has been in good form recently, no one could have imagined that they could defeat AC Milan so easily on the road.
Most people didn't even guess the result of Lazio's victory. They felt that AC Milan should be able to win at home. Even if the process was a little harder, the final victory would definitely belong to them.
Unexpectedly, they guessed even this point wrong.
After the game, many media used the word "upset". They believed that AC Milan's loss to Lazio at home by such a disparity was an upset.
In response, Chang Sheng wrote on his personal website that he was dissatisfied with the media's use of "unpopular" to describe this victory. Because with Lazio's current strength, winning against AC Milan is not a strange result at all. Defeat with this score
AC Milan is also normal.
But no matter what words were used, the whole of Italy was shocked by the result and score of this game.
This game was still being discussed on TV for several days, analyzing shot by shot. Why could Lazio win so easily?
Why is AC Milan unable to fight back when facing Lazio?
This kind of thing makes Lazio fans very happy.
They kept changing the channel and watching these programs over and over just to listen to the guests and hosts there praising Lazio's performance.
However, on the first day of resumption of training, Chang Sheng said to the players: "Forget the game against AC Milan. Our goal is not to defeat AC Milan, but to finish in the top four in the league and qualify for next season's Champions League. So.
Look forward, guys."

In the fifth round of the league, Lazio faced Palermo at home.
In this game, Lazio took advantage of the 5:2 away victory over AC Milan in the previous round and defeated Palermo 4:2 at home.
People were surprised to find that September was almost over, and Lazio remained undefeated throughout September!
They had four wins and one draw, with 13 points, 14 goals scored, and only five goals conceded, with a margin of victory of nine.
Currently ranked second in the league, second only to Juventus who have won five games.
Such technical statistics such as points ranking and goals scored and conceded have surprised many people.
Who would have thought that Lazio, which had gone through a major purge at the beginning of the season, could have such a strong performance?
If you compare Chang Sheng's results in Rome during the same period, you will find that they are completely different!
What makes winning the difference between the two Roma teams?
When interviewed by reporters, Chang Sheng said it was because of Lotito's trust.
He didn't say anything about Roma, but everyone knew that by saying this he was in turn accusing Roma of not trusting him. If Roma trusted him, he would probably have given Roma such a wonderful start to the league.
It's a pity that Rome has no chance now.
Five rounds into the league, when Lazio was in second place in the league, Roma was ranked tenth under the leadership of Prandelli...
Of course, if you look at the points, you will feel much better. With two wins, two draws and one loss, we have eight points, which is not far behind the top of the league.
But being left so far behind by our rivals in the same city, you couldn't even see Lazio's back when you looked up, it felt really uncomfortable...
Of course, in a few rounds, Roma will have an opportunity in the eighth round. They will face Lazio at home!
Roma's city derby is a great opportunity for Roma to catch up with Lazio, and it's also a great opportunity to give the damn victors a head-on head-on!

After the game against Palermo, Lazio has to prepare for the second leg of the UEFA Cup match against Germinal.
Because Lazio defeated its opponent 3:0 in the first round on the road, Changsheng did not send out its main lineup in this game, but continued to rotate.
From Valencia to Roma and then to Lazio, he likes to rotate very much.
When he rotated like crazy in Valencia, it once caused discussion in the media. The topic discussed was whether such rotation is a good thing or a bad thing?
At that time, everyone was not very receptive to rotation.
As a result, almost every wealthy team now chooses to rotate.
Because they found that rotation is the best way to deal with multi-line operations. This can not only ensure that all players' physical fitness will not have problems, but also allow every player to get a chance to play and maintain their condition.
In this game at home, Changsheng sent many young players. Benzema, Borriello and David Silva started on the front line, and Khedira, Modric and Marchisi in the midfield.
profound.
The back line gave Stendado and Campagnaro the opportunity to start, and the full-backs were De Silvestri and Pasquale.
Veteran goalkeeper Peruzzi also gave up his place in the starting lineup, allowing young Handanovic to play.
Chang Sheng changed almost the entire starting lineup, with only David Silva still on the court.
But even so, Lazio also defeated Germinal 1:0 at home.
As a result, they qualified for the group stage with a total score of 4:0.
Of course, as a sworn enemy in the same city, you also have to care about the performance of another opponent. The competition and comparison between the two sides is all-round.
After Roma beat Aris 5:1 at home in the first round, promotion was basically confirmed. Prandelli also made some rotations in the away game, and finally tied with Aris 0:0 in the away game.

After the first round of the UEFA Cup, only 40 of the 80 teams were left, and the next step was the drawing ceremony.
Roma was assigned to Group E, in a group with Switzerland's Basel, France's Strasbourg, Norway's Tromso, and Serbia's Red Star Belgrade.
Lazio was assigned to Group F next door. The opponents in the same group were CSKA Moscow of Russia, Dynamo Bucharest of Romania, Heerenveen of the Netherlands, and Levski Sofia of Bulgaria.
In terms of grouping, it seems that Lazio's grouping is slightly better, and the opponents Roma encounters seem to be stronger.
But no matter which group they are in, it should not be difficult for Roma and Lazio to qualify from the group.
Everyone originally thought that Lazio would be more difficult, but after watching their performance in the Intertoto Cup and the league, this doubt was gone. Although I don’t understand why, it is obvious that this Lazio has restored the performance that it won back then.
The momentum of the league championship and Italian Cup championship.
The first round of the group stage will be on October 20. Lazio will face CSKA Moscow away from home. Russia should have entered winter in late October, and the bad weather may bring some trouble to Lazio.

In the sixth round, Lazio tied with Udinese 3:3 in an away game.
In the seventh round, Lazio faced Fiorentina at home.
Viola once pursued his team after Chang Sheng's dismissal, but unfortunately they did not succeed. In fact, in terms of all aspects of conditions, it is really hard to say who is better than Lazio.
But who would have thought that the factors that determine which team Chang Sheng goes to are not these things at all, but the location of the team. Lazio took advantage of someone who was also in Rome, so Chang Sheng became the head coach of Lazio and led
Lazio achieved good results.
Changsheng did not send out all the main players in this game. It was still a rotation, but it was different from the last time they played against Germinal at home, and the amplitude was smaller.
When the media saw this starting lineup, they said Chang Sheng was being merciful and Florence might have a chance.
But they all guessed wrong.
Although Fiorentina had originally intended to invite him, Chang Sheng would not show mercy because of this. He must win the game that should be won.
So the final score was 1:0, Lazio, playing at home, narrowly defeated Fiorentina.
If compared with the AC Milan game, it can indeed be said that winning is a mercy...
But once the game ended, everyone's focus was no longer on the game that was over.
Everyone's eyes were looking far ahead at this moment, and they fell directly on the Rome city derby a week later!
That is the real fight between dragons and tigers, where Mars hits the earth!
This Rome derby has nothing to do with the current league rankings of the two sides, nor with their recent performance.
Who loses and who wins, it means nothing based on recent statistics.
People only need to know that this is the most popular derby in Italy, far surpassing the Milan derby and the Italian national derby.
This year's derby will become even more popular and exciting because of this man who always wins.
Therefore, the media began to wait for Chang Sheng almost from the moment he announced that he would take charge of Lazio... no, it should be said that they were looking forward to this game.
The winning streak returns to the "Olympic Stadium in Rome". Note that it belongs to Rome, not Lazio.
What kind of "welcome" will he get by then?

There is still a week left in the game, and the war of words between the two sides has already begun.
In an interview with reporters, Lazio President Lotito publicly supported Chang Sheng and complained about Chang Sheng's initial experience. However, he forgot that if Roma had not "treated Chang Sheng in an unpublic manner", he might not have had the chance to acquire the greatest player in history.
The young champion coach...
"I think Chang did encounter all kinds of unfair treatment in Rome. The Eastern and Western media have reported on it. If you are interested, you can know by reading the media reports... Based on my contact with him, Chang is a
He is a very good head coach, he is serious and responsible in his work, and his attitude is approachable. All the accusations against him by the Roma club are groundless..."
Then he laughed at Rome, which had lost its winning streak, as it was not as good as when it had been winning games.
"It has been seven rounds of the league, and we are second in the league with 17 points. What about Roma? I'm so sorry, I have to scroll down on the web browser to see them... Fourteenth in the league! Two wins, two draws and three
Lose! Eight points! Ha!" At this point, Lotito couldn't help laughing.
This seems a bit unsteady as a chairman, but it doesn't matter, no one will blame him, because this is the attitude towards his local rivals. Just like how the Roma club laughed at him when Lazio almost went bankrupt.
"Give Caso an annual salary of 50,000 euros? Oh my God! Are we living in the 18th century? It's unbelievable that there are still such low-paid top-level head coaches... If I were Caso,
I will never accept this kind of insult, and I will definitely leave!"
This is what Sensi, the president of Roma Club, said to reporters.
At that time, Lotito was feeling aggrieved... He was so busy trying to save money all day long that his head was spinning, but he had no choice but to have no money, so there was nothing he could do when Sensi laughed at him like this.
But things are different now. The financial crisis has been resolved. I only need to pay back 5.5 million euros every year, which is much easier. My performance has also improved, and everything is really going smoothly.
So he also had the intention to turn around and ridicule Rome.
Similarly, Roma President Sensi is also very aggrieved now. Hearing Lotito's sarcasm, he could not refute.
Because Roma’s results are indeed very poor…
But Lotito would not let him go so easily, and stabbed him in the heart.
"Chang's results last season were not bad, and Sensi could fire him resolutely. So let me ask about Prandelli's performance in leading the team, does Sensi dare to fire him? He doesn't dare. Why? Because Prandelli is Totti.
My favorite coach! Thank you Sensi, thank you Totti, thank you Roma Club for giving us such an excellent head coach!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
