Chapter 199 Champions League Draw Match (4/134)
( ) Boas made adjustments in the second half. He replaced Aimar, who was underperforming, and liked that he could strengthen the midfield's offensive organization through this adjustment.
But it didn't work.
The gap in player strength allows Lazio to steadily control the midfield situation.
Then continue to attack Porto's goal.
In the 67th minute, Balzaretti scored Lazio's third goal of the game.
The score was finally fixed at 3:0.
In the total score, Lazio eliminated Porto 4:1.
At the post-match press conference, Boas kept silent about what he said before the game.
Chang Sheng didn't want to let him go.
No one can shit and piss on his neck and walk away with a pat on the ass.
Since you wantonly insulted me before the game, you have to be prepared to be retaliated by me. Not only did I beat you in the game, but I spit it back!
Mourinho said in front of the reporters after the game: "Now I know who Boas is, the guy who I won 3:0, right?"
Fortunately, Boas wasn't there, otherwise, he wouldn't have lifted the table when he heard this?
Then Chang Sheng began to complain about the old coach Ferreira who was dismissed before.
"It's a real shame that Ferreira was sacked by the club for telling the truth...the fact is that Porto and Lazio are not at the same level, so they should be honored to draw with us at home. gone."
Then Chang Sheng left the press conference with his head held high, and Lazio led by him also threw off his opponents and entered the quarterfinals with his head held high.

After the Champions League match, Lazio will welcome Barry at home.
In the first half of the season, Lazio poured them 13 goals away from home.
Created a murder.
This incident made Chang Sheng feel a little sorry for Barry,
Because Barry didn't ask him to mess with him. It is purely a standard typical of being shot while lying down.
If it is replaced by Roma, Juventus, Milan, Inter Milan, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid... a cover-up team, if you score 13 goals, you will score, no big deal.
Barry and Lazio have no worries in history...
Although I felt sorry for Barry for the record-setting 13-0 game in the first half of the season, Chang Sheng did not intend to return it at home.
Even with a different lineup, Lazio performed very actively at their home court.
In the end they defeated Barry 2:1 at home.
Barry's goal really wasn't Lazio's intention to let them in...
But Lazio fans love it too. When Barry scored a goal, there was applause from the Lazio fans in the audience, and they were expressing their respect for Barry in this way.
After being beaten 13:0 by Lazio in the first half of the season, in the second half of the season, he was able to perform tenaciously in the game against Lazio, and finally scored a goal relying on his own efforts... Such a team is indeed worthy of respect.
Of course, this has something to do with the empty North Stand.
If the fans of the Uneducable faction were present, I am afraid that this time will be full of boos and scolding against Barry...
The Unteachables see this as a fight.
In fact, this is nothing more than fighting fiercely.
※ ※ ※
On the second day of the 2:1 victory over Barry, it was an exciting day for the players.
The Lazio team first visited St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.
Pope Benedict XVI received them cordially there.
Many of the players are devout Christians. They were all excited to meet the Pope face to face.
Atheists like Changsheng, or converts to other religions, should be treated as tourists.
Anyway, it's a tourist attraction...
And Chang Sheng also knows why the Pope named and invited the Lazio football team.
The support of the Holy See played a big role in the fight against the Uneducable faction.
He still had to remember something, no matter what the purpose was, it helped him anyway.
Therefore, when Chang Sheng faced Pope Benedict XVI, he still seemed very respectful.
He is not respecting the Pope. He respects an elder who has helped him.
Pope Benedict XVI said that he is also a fan and likes to watch exciting football matches. The football that Lazio plays excites him. He likes this kind of football...
In the end, he sent an invitation to Chang Sheng, hoping that Chang Sheng would coach a game of the Vatican football team.
This is a big face.
Unless Chang Sheng has a stroke in his head, it is impossible not to accept it.
So he immediately agreed, saying that it was his honor to be able to coach the bishops to play football and so on...
The atmosphere of the meeting between the two parties was harmonious, and it can be said that both the host and the guest were happy.
In the end, the whole Lazio team took a group photo with the Pope, and Chang Sheng enjoyed special treatment. He took one last photo alone with Pope Benedict XVI.
During the entire meeting and meeting, Chang Sheng was the protagonist.
So everyone can see the attitude of the Holy See.
They organized this meeting just to support Chang Sheng.
The next day, the picture of Pope Benedict XVI holding Chang Sheng's hand and talking cordially appeared in the newspaper.
The previous guesses have been obtained, and the Pope himself has come out to support Chang Sheng. Which of the dogs of the Uneducable faction dare to bark?
don't ask. You know the Uneducable faction is finished.

Three days later, the other four matches in the Champions League were also decided.
In this way, all eight teams participating in the quarter-finals of the Champions League have been released.
Subsequently, the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals and semi-finals was held in Basel, Switzerland.
According to media speculation, UEFA should hope that Lazio and Barcelona will meet in the Champions League final for the sake of gimmicks.
So Lazio and Barcelona should not be assigned to the same zone.
The proposal was made long before the start of the Champions League because of the special bond between Lazio and Barcelona.
But when the Champions League draw came out, everyone was surprised to find that Lazio and Barcelona were assigned to the same region!
Although they will not meet in the quarter-finals, as long as they both pass the quarter-finals, they will meet in the finals!
The media were also surprised that UEFA did not allow Lazio and Barcelona to meet in the final.
Barcelona's opponent in the quarter-finals is Arsenal.
Lazio's opponent in the quarter-finals is CSKA Moscow.
Barcelona's opponents are stronger. And Lazio's opponents seem to be taking a formality...
As soon as the result of the draw came out, some media commented: "Chang is already waiting for Guardiola in the semifinals!"
It is impossible for CSKA Moscow to pose any threat to Lazio, even in their home stadium.
Because now is not the time for the twelfth lunar month. The first round of the quarter-finals will start on April 6th. At this time, even in Moscow, the temperature is not as low as it is in winter, and most importantly... it will not snow.
So even at home. CSKA Moscow is also unlikely to pose any threat to Lazio.
This draw is equivalent to directly sending the victorious Lazio to the semi-finals.
In response to this kind of naked favoritism, Chinese fans ridiculed: "It's really a father's love!"
※ ※ ※
Chang Sheng himself didn't expect that the draw would be so good... He couldn't help but think, he wouldn't really replace Barcelona in Platini's mind, would he?
That's ridiculous...
"CSKA Moscow? That is a strong team, and we will take it seriously..." Chang Sheng said in an interview with reporters after the lottery results came out.
Then some Italian media said: "Take it seriously? I think CSKA Moscow must hope that you don't take it seriously..."
But in general, the media is not very concerned about the quarter-finals, they are more concerned about the semi-finals.
It should not be difficult for Lazio to pass CSKA Moscow.
The main thing is whether Barcelona can eliminate Arsenal.
If Barcelona can also eliminate Arsenal, it will definitely be the most eye-catching matchup in the world!
The story between these two teams and these two people is enough to tell for three days and three nights.
Some people even hope that Arsenal will give up on their own initiative...
A game that the whole world is looking forward to. I can't let you ruin it...
This statement will naturally make Arsenal supporters very upset.
But unfortunately, Arsenal's current strength really cannot be compared with Barcelona.
Although Arsenal are stronger than CSKA Moscow, it does not mean they can beat Barcelona.
Especially when Guardiola knows that as long as they get past Arsenal, they can meet Chang Sheng in the semi-finals... Arsenal will be even less likely to beat Barcelona.
Just as the whole of Europe has been looking forward to this game for a long time, Guardiola himself has been looking forward to this game for a long time.
Even longer than Europe expects.
European football began to expect this game to start after Guardiola's Barcelona won the Treble.
And Guardiola started when he left the Lazio club.
He wants to prove that his philosophy is correct, more possession leads to more wins, more possession leads to fewer goals conceded. possession of the ball. That's the way!
Even if he led Barcelona to win the Triple Crown and Six Crowns, he didn't feel the slightest complacency in his heart.
Because he knows. These champions have no gold content.
As long as you don't beat Lazio, you are not a real winner.
Lazio gave him a chance after a big change last season. It can be said that no matter how much the outside world touts him, he always believes that he won the championship while Lazio was taking a nap... This does not explain anything.
It is necessary to defeat Lazio head-on when they meet on a narrow road. Only then can we prove that our champion is valuable and meaningful.
Only the gold content.
Otherwise... the six crowns are meaningless.
Others think he is for the championship.
Only he knows in his heart that he is for the idea in his heart.
Beat the ever-victorious Lazio who beat him and prove himself right. Prove that Barcelona plays the most powerful football! (To be continued..)
