After the Champions League quarter-finals were decided, another draw was held to draw the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
Lazio was drawn together with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
This will be a serious challenge for Lazio.
AC Milan and Valencia were assigned together.
Because of the fight in the last game, many players in the Valencia team were suspended. This is good news for AC Milan. Inter Milan sacrificed themselves to help AC Milan.
If nothing unexpected happens, AC Milan's elimination of Valencia will not be a big problem.
Lazio is at a loss.
The first leg of the match between Lazio and Bayern Munich will be played on the evening of April 3rd.
Before that, there were two league games.
Although there are only two league games, we still attach great importance to winning.
A game like Regina's can never happen again.
Although he was praising Reggina for his outstanding performance, he was also criticizing his own team in disguise.
Later, after returning to Formello, Chang Sheng warned the team not to be arrogant and underestimate the enemy, otherwise, he would have 108 ways to deal with them.
This game did have a huge impact on Lazio's players.
They thought they were going to be tied on the court, but Lucarelli's own goal at the last moment saved them.
After escaping death, they never want to experience that feeling again.
So there is no need for the head coach to scold them, they know what to do themselves.

In the twenty-ninth round, Lazio defeated Empoli 3:1 at home. In this game, the Lazio team performed very actively, entered the game quickly, and naturally won easily in the end.
In the same league round, Inter Milan defeated Ascoli 2:1 away from home.
In the 30th round of the league, national Milan defeated Parma 2:0 at home. Lazio, with rotation, defeated Udinese 4:2 away from home.
Then, Lazio welcomed Bayern Munich at home.
In fact, the German team is the one that the current victorious team least wants to encounter.
Because the German teams are tough, especially Bayern Munich, the best among them.
Maybe they can play some off-the-table tricks with other teams to get rid of cleverness, and Bayern Munich can only play with hard power, head-to-head, and there are no tricks to play.
There is nothing to say about the game against Bayern Munich. I will use all the main players and stick to the tactics that I am best at and use best. Then it will depend on the performance and luck of both sides.
※※※
In this game, Chang Sheng did not let his team play defensive counterattack at home, but insisted on his own offensive tactics at home.
And Bayern Munich did not play any defensive counterattack because it was playing Lazio away from home.
Hitzfeld also insisted on Bayern Munich's own offensive tactics.
The result of both teams attacking was a hearty offensive battle.
The game is very exciting.
The commentator kept exclaiming: "Enjoyable!" "Beautiful!"
Neutral fans were also excited.
People say that the Champions League is the highest technical and tactical competition in today's football, and this game finally proves that this is true.
Of course, everyone watched the excitement and cheered, but for the home team Lazio, this was not a good thing.
The final result is 2:2.
Lazio drew with Bayern Munich at home.
It's just a draw.
But Bayern Munich scored two away goals.
This is really fatal.
Not to mention that he failed to win against his opponent at his home court and allowed his opponent to take away two priceless away goals.
In the second round, Lazio will face an away game with the disadvantage of two away goals.
So after the game, the media said that Lazio had basically bid farewell to this season's Champions League early.
They were better than Inter Milan and lasted one more round.
Chang Sheng did not admit defeat after the game: "The Champions League quarter-finals are two-legged, and we still have a chance to play."
However, his statement was naturally considered to be a tough talk.
It's really too difficult to advance...

In the weekend league, in order to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals next week, Lazio rotated all their players and hid most of their main players.
Then Lazio was tied 1:1 by Messina at home.
After understanding this result, Mancini was particularly happy.
There is no perfect way for everyone!
Seeing that hope was getting slimmer, Lazio actually tied!
Next, Inter Milan can shorten the points gap between the two sides to three points as long as they win Reggina away from home. It’s just one goal!
After the Lazio game ended, the media supporting Inter Milan said that this was Mancini's perfect opportunity!
Everyone only looked at Lazio and did not take Reggina seriously at all.
As a result, when the game started, they discovered that Regina was not the soft persimmon they thought they could easily pinch.
Mazzarri's team defended tightly during the game and did not give Inter Milan any chance.
Central defender Lucarelli, who scored an own goal against Lazio before, also performed very actively in this game.
He appeared in key places many times and disrupted Inter Milan's offense.
When the game went on for seventy-five minutes and the score was still 0:0, many Inter Milan fans became anxious.
And Mancini got up from his seat many times and came to the sidelines to pay attention to the game.
But no matter what adjustments he made, even if he used up three substitutions in advance.
His team still couldn't break Reggina's goal.
Mancini's face turned ugly.
He could see that Reggina wanted to defend this game and would rather not win than let Inter Milan win.
He thought of the game between Reggina and Lazio.
In that game, Regina went for victory at first, but later changed to pursue a draw when she saw that it was no longer possible.
It's not like this game, I want to tie it as soon as it starts...
This is treated differently!
Mancini felt very unhappy.
If Reggina wanted to win from the start, Inter Milan would have already taken the lead in this game.
It is precisely because of Reggina's unprogressive attitude that it is difficult for Inter Milan's offense to penetrate.
As the game time approached, Mancini's face became increasingly ugly.
Because the score remained stubbornly at 0:0.
There is no intention to loosen up at all.
In the end, Mancini could only hope for the blessing of the goddess of luck.
Just like Lazio back then.
He strengthened his long-range shots from outside the penalty area, hoping to cause an own goal for Reggina players.
Unfortunately, his wish did not come true.
Lady Luck did not hear his inner prayers.
When the game ends, the score is 0:0!
"Ah! The game is over! Tenacious Reggina! Mazzarri's team tied with Inter Milan at home! This time they were not defeated by an own goal! Lucarelli played well in this game, and it seems that he has already
He has completely escaped the shadow of that own goal! Chang once told him not to be knocked down by bad luck, and he did it!"
Mancini and Mazzarri hurriedly shook hands and left.
He now saw that Mazari looked disgusting and didn't want to say anything more to him.

At the post-match press conference, Mancini blasted Mazzarri and Reggina.
"There is such a team, when they faced Lazio, they played very open, but when they faced us, they parked a bus in front of their goal... Everyone knows that I
Which team are you talking about?"
Then he began to criticize Chang Sheng again: "Any team will go all out when playing against us, but playing against Lazio is a different look..."
He shrugged, curled his lips, and stopped talking.
But he said everything he needed to say.
After the game, Mancini's words spread throughout Italy.
Mazzarri was the first to jump out and refute Mancini.
"It is my freedom to choose which opponent and which tactics to choose. It is not anyone else's turn to dictate. We used offensive tactics in the game against Lazio and we lost. So I decided to choose defensive tactics in the game against Inter Milan. Facts
It proves that I succeeded, we didn't lose and we didn't allow Inter Milan to score. I don't see what there is to blame."
Mazari's words were quite polite.
Lucarelli was less polite later in the interview.
"I know why Mancini said that, because he lost another chance to catch up with Lazio. But I think he should think more about his own problems instead of complaining that his opponents are too tenacious. At least he never
To put it this way, victory is achieved by oneself, not by relying on the opponent’s failure!”
This is a very serious statement. It means that Mancini, who can you blame if you can't win? Blame yourself! It has nothing to do with our Regina, so don't throw all the dirty water on us.
However, in terms of combat effectiveness, they are not always victorious opponents.
Chang Sheng laughed when interviewed by reporters after hearing the criticism of Mancini's gaffe at the post-match press conference.
"If I say that Inter Milan will definitely not win the championship, you will definitely not believe it. But it doesn't matter, anyway, I have heard the distant barking of the negative dog."
It's really appropriate.
Mancini's uncontrollable roar at the post-match press conference was very similar to the distant bark of a negative dog.
So when the reporter who interviewed him heard what Chang Sheng said, he burst into laughter.
Chang Sheng waited for him to finish laughing before saying: "So do you think it is necessary for me to pay attention to the complaints of a loser?"
The reporter shook his head: "It seems... unnecessary."
Chang Sheng snapped his fingers: "That's right, so now I have to prepare for the game against Bayern Munich. I'm sorry..."
Then the reporter knew that this was an eviction order.
He wisely withdrew.
Standing at the door of Formello, he was still thinking about the metaphor of victory.
The distant bark of a negative dog...
The more this reporter thought about it, the more he felt that the metaphor of Chang Sheng was apt and vivid.
So he laughed again.
