Chapter 112 More Important Games

Data can tell us many things, although boring, but careful study can still find interesting things.

Lazio and Milan have played against each other 131 times in the last 79 years. Milan has 55 wins, 48 ​​draws and 28 losses, including 52 wins, 48 ​​draws and 26 losses in Serie A.

Looking at the overall results, Milan has an absolute advantage. But if you look at the last ten confrontations, this is not the case.

In the last ten meetings between Milan and Lazio in the league, excluding this one, Milan has won four, drawn two and lost four.

Judging from this result, the last ten encounters between the two sides have been tied.

But if it wasn't for Chang Sheng, it wouldn't be such a result.

The key factor in the tie was Lazio's double play against Milan last season.

Especially the away game against Milan last season, it was really exciting.

Lazio defeated the then Champions League runner-up and league runner-up Milan 5:2 away.

Judging from the current situation of this game, it is estimated that Milan will lose in the last ten or so...

It seems that when Changsheng came to Lazio, he changed many teams' record against Lazio.

The match between Milan and Lazio is just one of them.

※※※

When Lazio took the lead, Milan couldn't continue to play defensive counterattacks like this, they had to press out and attack. Otherwise, they will lose to Lazio at home for the second time in a row, losing to Changsheng.

This makes it difficult for Milan to accept.

Even if Ancelotti is unwilling to do so, Milan's players will automatically make adjustments.

So in the next game, the two sides suddenly fought against each other, and Ancelotti made Milan speed up the pace.

The race is back in the fast lane.

But it is too late for Milan to speed up at this time. Because the rhythm has been mastered by Lazio.

If from the beginning of the game. If the pace has been fast, maybe they may not win this game,

But at least it will play well...

Of course, Ancelotti does not need to sacrifice his team for the fans in front of the TV, so his choice cannot be wrong.

I just didn't expect that Lazio today has made more progress than Lazio last season...

In the next game, in the 66th minute, Lazio scored another goal, expanding the score to 3:1.

All suspense in this game ends here.

In the end, Lazio defeated Milan 3:1 away, and they made a good start to the league.

And Milan had no choice but to suffer a defeat in the first round of the league...

After the game is over. While Lazio's players celebrated their victory in the stadium, Milan's players had already left the field sadly.

Of course, there are still boos floating above the San Siro Stadium, and those Milan fans who have not left are using boos to stimulate the Lazio players.

But such stimuli are minimal.

Even so. Milan fans are still doing it.

No way, who made this the only effective way for them?

※※※

The last boos of the Milan fans did not disturb Chang Sheng's good mood.

He praised the team's performance after the game, but he didn't praise them for beating Milan in the away game, but the team's state.

"Beating Milan away was nothing exciting for me because we won more at San Siro last season. I should have been disappointed if I had to say that... What makes me happy is the perfect team. Completed my tactical requirements. They performed very efficiently and tacitly in the game."

After the game, the media used this headline: "I am always happy with the team's state and ignore Milan."

"Chang: It is common to beat Milan, and the performance team is efficient and tacit."

"Milan? Let's talk about the state of Lazio."

Don't get me wrong, it's not that the media are mocking Milan.

They are stirring up the hatred between Milan and Chang Sheng.

Although there is enough enmity between Chang Sheng and Milan. But the media are not satisfied, only when Chang Sheng and Milan are completely pinched, they can take advantage of it and make a profit.

This overwhelming public opinion bombardment. Really embarrassing Milan.

Naturally, it deepened their hatred of Chang Sheng.

But even more embarrassing came from the criticism of Milan from Gazzetta dello Sport after the game.

Gazzetta dello Sport, as the media that most supports Milan, criticized Milan's performance mercilessly after the game.

"The Calciopoli incident kept Galliani away from the San Siro. It also seemed to make the Milan players lose their fighting spirit and confidence. In this game, except for the goal of Inzaghi at the beginning, we didn't see any Milan. Can beat Lazio signs, this is really scary! When did Lazio get to this point? No, we are too weak! If Milan is still living in their dream of being the traditional strong team in Italian football, I bet , they will only gradually slide into the abyss..."

"Gazzetta dello Sport" rarely criticizes Milan so mercilessly. Generally, their faces are used against Inter Milan.

It shows that Lazio is really scared of Milan, so that media such as Gazzetta dello Sport have to abandon the reserve of authoritative media and give Milan a blow.

In fact, "Gazzetta dello Sport" is really good. If Milan continues to degenerate like this, their position in Italian football will really be replaced by Lazio...

"Gazzetta dello Sport" hopes that their reports can arouse Milan's fighting spirit.

Their ideas are pretty good.

But the reality may be cruel...

※※※

For the media to provoke the relationship between Chang Sheng and Milan, and add fuel to the burning anger between them, Chang Sheng really has too many lice to worry about-the media keep making trouble for him, he No reason.

The football world is very simple, as long as you do your own thing, you can win the game. Then the interference of external forces is insignificant and not worth mentioning.

As long as Lazio can continue to win under his leadership, he doesn't care about offending some more people.

After the first round of the league, the Champions League group stage will follow.

In the first round of the group stage, Lazio played against Shakhtar Donetsk at home.

The strength of the two teams is not on the same level, plus the winning team still has home court advantage.

In the end, Lazio beat Shakhtar Donetsk 4-0 at home.

Won the first Champions League win of the season.

Everyone is not surprised by this result, because judging from the situation of this group, there are really no teams that can threaten Lazio. Especially after Lazio beat Barcelona and won the UEFA Super Cup.

this group. Not surprisingly, Lazio will definitely qualify.

It depends on whether the team is first or second.

But the second place in the group may be very low.

Neither Valencia, Olympiacos, or Shakhtar Donetsk are Lazio's opponents.

Although Valencia does not seem to be weak, anyone who understands the grievances between Chang Sheng and Valencia. No one thinks that the ever-victorious Lazio will lose to Valencia...

※※※

Because of the late start of the new season of Serie A due to the phone call, the games in September are extremely intensive.

There is no way to postpone these games until after next month.

In the new season starting on September 10th, there will still be five league matches throughout September, plus two Champions League group matches. Seven games were played in 20 days, an average of less than three days a game.

Almost every week is a double match a week.

The schedule is very dense.

However, this intensive schedule may be a problem for other teams, but it is different for Lazio.

Because Lazio is used to playing rotations, they started to rotate. Most players' stamina will not be consumed excessively.

Moreover, in the pre-season preparations, physical fitness has always been a training program that Chang Sheng emphasizes and attaches great importance to.

At this time, the league has just started, and there is no problem with the physical fitness of the players to cope with this month's competition.

After the game against Shakhtar Donetsk, the weekend after three days is the second round of the league. Lazio beat Palermo 2:1 at home.

In the third round of the league, Lazio defeated Chievo 2-0 away.

In the fourth round of the league, Lazio beat Atalanta 1-0 at home.

In this game, Lazio did not send all the main players.

So at his own home court, it was only a small victory over the newly promoted horse.

The reason why Changsheng did not let all the main players play is that there is a Champions League group match in the middle of the week.

Lazio are away to... Valencia!

This game is definitely in this group. Even the most watched UEFA Champions League group match on this match day.

Not because this is a strong dialogue, but because this is a continuation of the grievances between Chang Sheng and Valencia.

This game put the previous league in the dark.

Lazio play Atalanta at home. None of the questions asked by the media at the pre-match press conference were related to this league. Everyone is asking about the midweek Champions League game.

Not to mention the media, even many Lazio players are not in the league. They are very clear about the story between their boss and Valencia-the media have made the grievances between them very detailed-they are very clear that the boss's return to Mestalla means to him what.

Naturally, they can't embarrass their boss, so everyone's mind is how to beat Valencia in the game, not how to beat Atalanta in the game.

In this way, they can still beat Atlanta at home. I have to say that Lazio is indeed very strong...

At any rate, it was a win, and there was no loss or draw.

Lazio can go to Valencia with the halo of a league victory.

As the champion of the European Super Cup, the Italian Super Cup, and the second place in Serie A last season-Chang Sheng does not recognize the replacement champion, so he has always insisted on calling his team the runner-up of last season- -'s head coach, Chang Sheng, is about to return home.
