Chapter 158 Mourinho's Pressure

When the Inter Milan players stepped onto the pitch, they already knew the result of the match between Lazio and Genoa. M

Lazio beat the opponent 4-0 at home.

This result is not unexpected, Genoa can not pose a threat to Lazio.

Still, they felt the pressure.

Mourinho may not have thought that his team would be tied by Atlanta in the away game.

Because the forces of the two sides are not on the same level at all.

As a result, when this result appeared, he was somewhat unacceptable.

He wasn't even present at the post-match press conference, having his assistant take his place.

This shows how unhappy he is with this result.

After Atlanta drew with Lazio in the first round of the league, they also drew with Inter Milan. Facing the top two teams, they are still unbeaten. This really surprised many people...

When Atlanta tied Lazio before, many Lazio fans cursed Atlanta.

Now that the object of their curses has drawn Inter Milan again, the Lazio fans changed their curses into cheers.

Some enthusiastic Lazio fans even went to the message board of the Atlanta club's official website to post a message, thanking Atlanta.

This scene looks really comedic.

When the winter break is approaching, Lazio leads Inter Milan by five points. This score has allowed them to win the winter break championship one round ahead of schedule.

There is actually another round of the league before the winter break, which is a direct confrontation between Lazio and Inter Milan. Originally, if Inter Milan were not tied by Atlanta, they would still have a chance to defeat their opponents at home and win the winter break championship-of course, the premise is to win by a big score.

But now that the tie has made this theoretical opportunity gone.

Five points short. Only one round left. This winter break championship must be in Lazio's pocket.

This winter break championship can be said to be a weather vane for the Serie A championship.

Since the abolition of divisions in the 1929-1930 season, 51 of the 77 winter break champions have the last laugh. In other words, more than 65% of the winter break champions can become the final Serie A champions . This probability is not low. In the past five years, the team that won the winter break championship can have a small Serie A shield embroidered on its chest-this is a representation of the Serie A championship.

Among them, Lazio accounted for three seasons and Juventus twice.

But even with so many "historical laws", Lazio's winter championship this time has become a bit insignificant. No way, the winter champions for four consecutive seasons are sky blue. Italians have also begun to feel fatigued. From the beginning of this season, although Mourinho's Inter Milan is chasing after him, many people still believe that it is not uncommon for Lazio to win the league championship. so it is.

Some Italian media have already felt "desperate" about this kind of Inter Milan and Serie A. There is no obstacle at all on the road to five consecutive championships." "Corriere dello Sport" commented that Chang Sheng thought they had only won three consecutive championships, but everyone thought they were four consecutive championships.

Before the game against Inter Milan, these articles touting Lazio appeared, which did not make Chang Sheng happy, on the contrary it made him very worried.

He did not believe that Mourinho would give up so easily.

It's just a five-point lead, not a fifty-point lead...

As long as Inter Milan can beat Lazio at home, it will reduce the difference with Lazio to two points.

So Chang Sheng didn't dare to talk lightly about certain victory, champions and such.

Actually for him. An opponent like Mourinho in the middle of the league is quite interesting. When Milan, Juventus, and Roma were all weak, there was Mourinho's Inter Milan, which made his Serie A coaching career full of fun.

Otherwise, the league championship comes too easily. Maybe it won't be appreciated.

There is an Italian Cup match between Lazio and Livorno in midweek.

While other teams start the Coppa Italia in August, it is a privilege to be the league champions, and their first Coppa Italia game is often in December.

In this way, at least nearly half a season. Lazio does not need to think about the Italian Cup, just concentrate on playing well in the league and the Champions League.

against Livorno. Chang Sheng joined a group of youth teams and substitute players, and he chose to preserve his strength.

Obviously, the best weapon is to use against Mourinho's Inter Milan.

Before the game against Lazio, Inter Milan looked a little crazy, which made everyone around him a little afraid of him.

Of course, no one will blame him, because everyone knows why.

Mourinho came to Meazza with the mission of breaking Lazio's monopoly for Inter Milan and winning the championship.

Last season, he led Inter Milan in high spirits, but eventually lost to Lazio and lost the league championship.

At the end of the season, Mourinho was still very stubborn: "My team always performed better in the second season than in the first season."

Well, he could find an excuse back then, but what about now?

This is already the second season, and there are no more excuses.

If he loses the league title to Lazio again, he may be to blame.

Originally, everyone thought that after Calciopoli, Inter Milan ended its 18-year league championship drought.

Who would have thought that a Lazio would appear out of nowhere...

Mancini failed to complete the task. Mourinho, who is more famous, higher-level and more arrogant than Mancini, came.

Everyone pinned their hopes on him, but they didn't expect that he would also be unable to break Lazio's monopoly...

His improvement may just make it not so easy for Lazio to win Inter Milan...

But what's the use of it!

This season can be said to be an ultimatum set by Mourinho for himself, he must win!

Otherwise you have to fuck off.

Get out Mourinho is not afraid.

But leaving as a loser and leaving as a winner are completely different concepts.

Even if Mourinho wants to leave Inter Milan, he also hopes to be a winner.

So Mourinho is under a lot of pressure now.

It's usually okay, as long as he is in a direct confrontation with Lazio, he will appear a little crazy.

If he can beat Lazio in direct dialogue. His team has at least two points for Lazio...

What a temptation this is!

And this time it's at home. If you can't win this game, it will be even more difficult to play away in the second half of the season.

The good news is that Lazio will play a Coppa Italia in the middle, which will affect their performance somewhat.

Inter Milan has a week to rest and prepare for the game.

wait for work...

still have a chance!

It was not difficult to win the Coppa Italia against Livorno. The "Lazio Reserve Team" beat their opponents 3-0 at home and advanced to the next round of the Coppa Italia.

But everyone's mind is not on this Coppa Italia, but on the next league...

There is no need for Changsheng to remind the players. Everyone knows how important the game against Inter Milan is.

The history of Lazio's championship in recent years is basically the history of entanglement with Inter Milan.

Lazio's only opponent in the league title is Inter Milan. So they are very familiar with Inter Milan.

In the fights again and again, they also fully understood the strength of this opponent.

Especially in the last two seasons, when Mourinho became the head coach of Inter Milan, fools can feel the changes in Inter Milan, they are more tenacious than before. It is not as easy as before to win them.

So they can underestimate the enemy against a team like Debrezen who has never heard of the name, but it is absolutely impossible to underestimate the enemy with pride against Inter Milan...

Although there has been a lot of praise for Lazio in the media recently, the players are still relatively cautious-it has not been a few months since Debrezen's incident, and everyone remembers the ins and outs of that incident.

Who would dare to joke about their own future?

If they lose to Inter Milan because of pride and underestimation, the boss will definitely kill them...

The match between Lazio and Inter Milan is coming as scheduled.

The San Siro stadium was packed.

The two teams with the highest attendance in Serie A met today, and the stadium was very lively.

Despite repeated battles and defeats, Inter Milan is still a strong team in Serie A today. So the enthusiasm of the fans is very high,

In addition... because of the repeated defeats, every time I play Lazio, I will be particularly excited, because everyone wants to see if they can beat Lazio this time.

Before the game, come out of the tunnel. The two head coaches just happened to walk together.

But although they sat side by side, neither of them communicated with each other, as if they were surrounded by a cloud of air.

This scene of ignoring each other was photographed by photographers and used as a representative photo of Lazio and Inter Milan. It couldn't be more appropriate.

Walking to the intersection in front of the coach's bench, the two parted ways and came to their own coach's bench. Then sit down and wait for the players from both sides to play.

Soon, players from both sides filed out under the leadership of the referee.

The live broadcast at the Meazza Stadium is broadcasting Inter Milan's starting lineup, and every time a name is announced, it can attract a burst of cheers.

Although there has never been a championship, the mentality of Inter Milan fans is fine.

This may have something to do with the fact that they have never had a championship—anyway, they are used to it...

Finally, Mourinho's name was reported, and the cheers at the San Siro suddenly doubled.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as deafening.

Although Mourinho did not win a championship, he used his arrogant personality and charming personal charm to capture the "hearts" of many Inter Milan fans.

Especially his two derby victories against Milan.

Inter Milan fans believe that if anyone can beat Chang, it must be Jose Mourinho.

In addition, they shouted so, naturally they also wanted to give Chang Sheng a blow.

Hearing the cheers like a demonstration, Chang Sheng raised his hand and licked his ears.

It seems that the sound is not loud enough.
