Chapter 387 The Landlord Has No Surplus Food
The opponents that Lazio will face in the next game are actually not weak. For example, they will soon face Inter Milan in the league.
Their opponent in the Champions League semi-finals is Manchester United.
After the Champions League semi-finals with Manchester United, they will face Juventus in the league.
However, Lazio fans are in a relaxed state of mind.
Because Lazio has already won the championship in advance, Lazio fans have no desire to encounter Inter Milan and Juventus in the league. Even if Lazio really loses to these two teams, it’s no big deal.
Of course, it’s best to win.
It’s just that Lazio fans will not put pressure on the team, and they will be very relaxed.
But for the Lazio team, this is not the case.
Lazio has already won the championship, but the next league is still very important.
Because they have another ambition, that is to end the season with a winning streak!
Not only do they want to win all the games, they also want to score more goals and break the single-season goal record they created last season.
First, they have to beat Inter Milan.
※ ※ ※
Since Inter Milan fired Mourinho, it has been going downhill.
Under the leadership of the new coach Leonardo, this team has lost the qualification to compete for the championship, let alone win the championship.
Although Inter Milan did not win the championship in the first two seasons, at least they were the only team in Serie A that could compete with Lazio for the league championship. At that time, everyone was not satisfied and thought that Inter Milan should be able to win the championship, so Mourinho should resign if he failed to win the championship. But now it seems that being able to do this is amazing...
Who can compete with Lazio in Serie A now?
None!
Milan, ranked second, is 20 points less than Lazio!
Inter Milan should not even think about winning the league championship this season.
Their competitors are teams like Udinese and Naples.
After the 33rd round of the league, Inter Milan ranks fourth in the league, and their goal is to keep their qualification for the Champions League next season.
As for whether it is a qualifier or a regular match, they don’t care, as long as they can play in the Champions League.
In third place, one place ahead of them is Napoli, who have 65 points, Inter Milan ranks fourth with 63 points, and Udinese ranks fifth with 59 points.
The gap between the two teams is very small.
The team that was able to compete with Lazio at the beginning. Now it has fallen to such a state, which is really a pity.
When Inter Milan and Lazio meet, no one will say "this game determines the ownership of the league championship".
On the contrary, everyone is concerned about the topic of "whether Inter Milan can qualify for the Champions League".
This change makes many Inter Milan fans very depressed.
Among the fans, there are also many people who call for Leonardo to be dismissed.
It is said that Inter Milan's club chairman Moratti is indeed considering firing Leonardo.
So next season. Inter Milan will usher in a new coach.
Although it is not a good thing to keep Leonardo, frequent changes of coaches may not be a good thing either.
The head coach is constantly changing, and the tactical thinking style is not fixed. It changes every season, and every head coach comes and changes. Inter Milan's signings are also following this. The people bought at the request of the new head coach this season may not be used when the head coach is changed next season. So they either rot on the bench or are sold at a low price, and then the players named by the new head coach are reintroduced...
Such tossing not only leads to unstable lineups. It will also waste the club's funds. In the long run, the club's financial health will be seriously threatened.
After all, Moratti's money did not fall from the sky. He himself has no ability to run and make money. Inter Milan has long relied on the Moratti family for blood transfusions.
Massimo Moratti is Inter Milan's beloved chairman. Players and fans like him very much. But in fact, he is just a second-generation ancestor who likes football and Inter Milan...
If there is no support from the Moratti family, he will definitely not be able to play Inter Milan.
The financial crisis that swept the world also caused heavy losses to the Moratti family.
The fate of the Sensi family is gradually falling on the Moratti family.
Because the Moratti family is also involved in the oil and energy industry. But Italian oil companies have suffered repeated setbacks overseas.
The oil companies of the Sensi family were forced to withdraw, and the pillar industries of the Moratti family were also hit hard.
In fact, starting from this season, Moratti has reduced his investment in the club. Because he knows that the landlords... have no surplus food.
How competitive can Inter Milan be without money?
This makes people doubt.
Another point is even more worrying.
Since Moratti took charge of the team, he has invested for many years, but has not received a return that matches his efforts. Now the money is almost spent. It is hard to say how long the Moratti family can support it.
Don't say it's impossible. Although Moratti loves Inter Milan, no matter how much he loves Inter Milan, it is just a toy of his, and it cannot be compared with the fate of the entire family.
How much did Sensi love Roma after he took over? He once said that Roma was his fourth daughter. In the most difficult times, he would rather abandon other family businesses than give up Roma.
But after his death, didn't his eldest daughter Rosella Sensi sell Roma?
The story of the Sensi family and Roma will inevitably be repeated in Inter Milan and the Moratti family...
※ ※ ※
Now, if they can't even keep the qualification for the Champions League next season, it will be a heavy blow to Moratti.
Inter Milan is a big Italian club. If they can't even participate in the Champions League, it will be a shame to the European continent.
With five rounds left in the league, they are only four points ahead of Udinese.
This lead can't make them feel at ease.
If they want to ensure that they can get the qualification for the Champions League, the best way is to win every game next time.
In this way, no matter how Udinese plays. Inter Milan will be fourth in the league, and maybe they can even challenge the top three and qualify for the Champions League directly.
First, they have to beat Lazio.
This task is too difficult.
Even at their home court...
Before the game, "Roma Sports" published such a headline: "Mission Impossible 4: Defeat Lazio!"
This is borrowed from the famous series of movies "Mission Impossible", also known as "Mission Impossible".
Mission Impossible 4 has not yet been released, and only three films have been filmed so far.
"Roma Sports" tells everyone that this is the latest part of "Mission Impossible".
For Inter Milan, even if they are playing at home, wanting to beat Lazio. It is indeed an impossible task...
Of course, in the movie, the more impossible the task is, the protagonist played by Tom Cruise can complete it.
But unfortunately, this is the real world. Not a movie.
And most importantly... Inter Milan is not the protagonist!
※ ※ ※
Leonardo refused to reveal his starting lineup before the game, and how he would deal with Lazio.
Everyone thought he might have some secret weapons.
But when the game started, everyone guessed... what secret weapons! He refused to reveal it because he was just shocked by Lazio!
Whether it was the starting lineup or the tactics, the media had guessed them, there was no secret at all.
Leonardo adopted a very active tactic at his home court, that is, to attack Lazio!
Because if Inter Milan wants to win, it can't rely on defense.
Now everyone has a deep understanding of Changsheng's shamelessness.
Against other teams. Maybe you can rely on defensive counterattacks, but for Lazio, defensive counterattacks are useless.
When you are firmly defending in the backcourt and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. Lazio can also pass the ball back and forth in the backcourt, but not forward! If they don't pass the ball to you, what can you use to counterattack? You press up to steal the ball? Well, the space behind you will be used by them immediately.
And if you don't go up to steal the ball. Lazio will naturally not come up, they can really keep passing the ball in the backcourt until the end of the game!
This kind of thing. Everyone has no doubt that the ever-victorious Lazio can do it 100%, absolutely, definitely and certainly.
Even if this approach seems shameless, shameless and passive to everyone.
Changsheng doesn't care.
He just wants to win. The rules don't say that he is not allowed to pass the ball back and forth in the backcourt for 90 minutes, so he can do it.
There are media calls on FIFA to revise the rules, learn from basketball, within the specified time, if the offensive side with the ball does not complete the shot, then the offensive side will be judged as a violation and the possession of the ball will be handed over to the opponent.
This is the first time that the football rules have been revised for the sake of winning.
The football rules have not changed for a long time.
Whether it is really necessary to revise or not, it also shows the ability of Changsheng.
Leonardo's Inter Milan must attack, only attack can open the game situation.
And the ever-victorious Lazio likes opponents to attack them - there are too few teams like Lei Feng now.
They like opponents to attack, because there will definitely be gaps behind the opponent when the opponent attacks, and Lazio can seize these gaps to counterattack the opponent.
With Lazio's ability and efficiency, they can hit the target every time...
Everyone knows this. So when the commentator saw that Inter Milan was going to attack Lazio, he asserted: "It seems that this game may be a big score game again..."
Doesn't Leonardo know?
Of course he knows, but what can he do? He must win. On the one hand, it is to lead the team to win the Champions League qualification this season, and on the other hand, he hopes to use victory to prove his ability so that he can continue to coach Inter Milan.
For the future of himself and the team, Leonardo had to take a gamble.
