Chapter 112 The Collapse of Idealistic Idols

At the last moment of the game, the score was still 0:1, and Inter Milan, who played at home, fell behind.

Mourinho was in a hurry.

Cruise, Crespo, these forwards who can be replaced are all replaced.

This is Mourinho's typical style when he needs to desperately command on the spot-relying on the suppression of numbers and the improvement of momentum to blast through the opponent's defense.

Although a football game is not a simple math problem where one plus one equals two, the more people the better.

But Mourinho can occasionally get miraculous results by doing so.

This time, perhaps it is hoped to receive a miraculous effect.

But……

But not every time can be successful.

But when Lazio recovered across the board, adding more strikers just made Lazio's penalty area more crowded and less space.

Football, on the other hand, is a game of space. The offensive side has to desperately create and utilize space, while the defensive side has to work hard to compress and eliminate restricted space.

Now Inter Milan has lined up three forwards in one go, causing Lazio's penalty area to be full of people, so where is there room?

Watch Inter midfielders pass the ball back and forth outside Lazio's box without finding the right way to get it out.

They lack space.

In order to compress the space, Chang Sheng sacrificed time. He can allow Inter Milan players to pass the ball back and forth outside, because he knows that there is no threat to the goal, even if those Inter Milan players take the ball calmly and have no chance, Just no chance.

Mourinho frowned and stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets.

Seeing that his team could not score even though they had possession of the ball, he was also very anxious.

The unbeaten record of 114 league games at home...

Mourinho gritted his teeth.

Really not reconciled!

※ ※ ※

"The referee is looking at his watch.

The game has entered stoppage time... Lazio still leads Inter Milan with a score of 1:0. There is not much time left for Inter Milan... If Mourinho wants to keep his unbeaten record of 114 consecutive league games at home, his team must score a goal! "

The commentator is reminding Inter Milan.

Inter Milan players also understand that time is running out.

So they didn't bother to find any vacancy.

Get the ball outside the box. If there is a chance, pass the ball, and if there is no good opportunity, just take a long shot!

Or simply pass a high ball from the side to the middle, hoping that the three tall men of Crespo, Cruz and Ibrahimovic can compete for the header.

As Inter Milan made the final sprint, Lazio felt tremendous pressure in front of the goal.

Even Jose Passarella was no longer as calm as before.

In the 91st minute, Crespo finally grabbed the point in front of the goal, and then a powerful lion shake!

The ball went straight to the corner!

Even some excited Inter Milan fans jumped up. Cheers in advance!

But at this moment, a hand flew over and bounced the football out with the tip of his finger!

"Handanovic -!! He made a world class save!!"

After landing, Crespo put his head in his hands and looked at the goal in disbelief.

His top of the ball was perfect, but he didn't expect to be thrown out by Handanovic with his fingertips!

Mourinho on the sidelines leaned back, also looking very annoyed.

At this time, Chang Sheng also made a third substitution.

He replaced Cavani with Rocky.

Forwards for forwards, matchups for substitutions.

This does nothing to strengthen the defense.

So Chang Sheng's substitution is not intended to strengthen the team's defense.

Mainly to stall for time.

Substitution after entering injury stoppage time, even if there is a delay in the substitution, it is impossible to make another stoppage time before the end of injury stoppage time.

So change at this time. It is a good opportunity to procrastinate.

Chang Sheng only used up two substitutions before, and the third substitution has been useless, just waiting for this opportunity.

Of course, the premise is that he trusts his team's defense very much and knows that they cannot be scored by Inter Milan, otherwise it will be useless.

Now, Lazio's performance proves that they are worthy of the coach's trust.

The dense and clean defense did not give Mourinho's team any chance at all.

Cavani faced boos from San Siro. Slowly walked to the sidelines, and then hugged Rocky. The substitution ceremony was completed.

At this time, there was more than one minute left before the end of the game.

Mourinho kept protesting to the fourth official on the sidelines: "They are deliberately delaying time!!"

Of course, such protests are useless.

※ ※ ※

Crespo's header was the last great opportunity for Inter Milan in this game.

But unfortunately, Handanovic's explosive save prevented Inter Milan's chance to equalize.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the commentator shouted.

"One hundred and fourteen games! The league's unbeaten record at home! This is the end!"

The TV broadcast instantly showed Mourinho's face, giving him a close-up shot.

"Mourinho was upset - anyone could see that. He had reason to be upset. Because his team lost at home, his unbeaten 114 home league games became the over!"

The upset Mourinho didn't even come up to shake Chang Sheng's hand, but turned around and walked towards the player's tunnel.

Of course, even if he wins the game. He also won't shake hands with Chang Sheng.

His attitude towards Chang Sheng is very clear - they are definitely not friends, since they are not friends, why bother to pretend? Anyway, neither of them cared about such things as demeanor.

As for Chang Sheng, it is naturally impossible to wait for Mourinho to shake hands with him. He knows Mourinho's character very well.

He walked onto the Meazza Stadium with his fists raised high, and celebrated this difficult victory with his team amidst the boos of the Inter Milan fans!

He has won many victories, today's is definitely not the prettiest, nor is it the most important.

But he feels that today's victory is of great significance.

Because this is a victory achieved by the team under extremely difficult circumstances that can determine the ownership of the league championship!

More important than the three points is the courage shown by the team in this difficult situation!

※ ※ ※

At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Chang Sheng: "As a representative of offensive football, Lazio played very ugly in this game, even though they scored three points in the end..."

Chang Sheng unceremoniously interrupted the reporter's question: "Ugly? To me, the cutest, most beautiful, and sexiest thing in the world is the three-pointer! I love the three-pointer more than anything else!"

"The Collapse of Idealist Idols", the media published such a reporter's commentary after the game.

Elaborates on Chang Sheng as an idealist idol. how it fell.

Chang Sheng didn't even have the idea to refute.

For these negative dogs in life, who have clearly failed in their lives, but want to use "I am an idealist" as a cover to cover up their incompetence and weakness, Chang Sheng has no time to care about them.

People are going through such a difficult time, so I better not expose them...

※ ※ ※

Criticism of Chang Sheng's loss of ideals is rare after all, and more media don't bother to pay attention to such idiotic things. This kind of thing is only done by the media that claims to be very literary.

The vast majority of the media are more concerned about the impact of this game on the trend of Serie A this season.

Lazio leads Inter Milan by as many as six points after winning Inter Milan away.

With four rounds left in the league. This difference can be said to be decisive.

If Inter Milan wants to win the championship, they have to hope that Lazio will not win three of the remaining four league rounds.

Judging from Lazio's current state, although it is impossible for them to maintain a complete victory in the subsequent games, the possibility of winning only one of the four games is still too low.

And Chang Sheng can completely give up the Champions League, which has no hope, and focus on the domestic league. In that case, their physical fitness will no longer be a problem.

In any case, Inter Milan has little hope.

So actually. After losing this game at home, Inter Milan has lost hope of continuing to compete for the league title.

This is why Mourinho is so angry.

It's not just that his league unbeaten at home has been broken. Still went to the hope of competing for the league title.

What is the purpose of working hard for a season?

Isn't it just for this championship?

Now there are four rounds left in the league, but he was kicked off the ring for the championship...

Tragedy!

After the game against Inter Milan, Chang Sheng gave his team a full day's rest despite the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final with Bayern Munich in the middle of the week.

The match against Inter Milan has fully reflected Lazio's current physical crisis.

After several high-intensity games in a row, Lazio can't fight even if they want to.

Even if it is the Champions League semi-finals in the middle of the week, Chang Sheng must let the players rest.

Of course. Some media interpreted that this is because Chang Sheng has decided to give up his performance in the Champions League semi-finals.

Chang Sheng didn't talk nonsense with the media either.

In the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the middle of the week, against Bayern Munich at home, Chang Sheng still sent the strongest lineup, and he has no intention of giving up at all.

Lazio drew 1-1 with Bayern Munich at home. Although they did not lose to them, they were eliminated by Bayern Munich with a total score of 2:4.

Since the UEFA Champions League was restructured in 1991, no team has been able to successfully defend the title.

The victorious Lazio has not been able to escape this fate.

The media were not surprised that Lazio was eliminated. After the second round with Manchester United, everyone actually knew.

Lazio was able to fight to this point with such a broken formation, and did not give up until the end. It was only because of poor strength that they were eliminated by Bayern Munich. The performance is already very good.

Especially against Bayern Munich at home, knowing that they had no chance, they still played very tenaciously. In the end, they drew 1:1 with Bayern Munich at home and did not lose the game.

As a former champion, they maintained their dignity as European champions.

Being eliminated this time is really a crime of non-war... (to be continued...)

ps: The game ended perfectly, but I still hope that everyone will continue to support with monthly tickets, because this month, we have an ambition!

Ask for a monthly ticket! ! ! !
