Chapter 53: A Guest in Rome
After returning from Manchester, Tang Wu spent time in the training of Lakli and Anovan.
For Lajli, the Italians desperately need a game and opponent of enough weight to prove to the fans and the world that they have built a Blues.
Lazio, on the other hand, became the best whetstone.
On the bus to the Olympic Stadium, Mutu grimaced and said nothing.
A day earlier, the Supreme Court awarded Mario's custody to Alexander. That is, the Romanians completely lost custody of their son.
"Ah Dan, your face doesn't look very good." Tang Wu chewed gum and peeked out the window at the Lazio fans through the curtains.
"Goal!" Mutu muttered.
"Huh?" Tang Wu didn't react, "What did you say?" ”
"Goal! Tang Dynasty! I'm going to score, two, oh no, three, I'm going to score three! Mu Xiang was like an addict who suddenly went berserk, and grabbed Tang Wu's neck.
"Hey, Egg, calm down, you need to be calm!" Tang Wu quickly broke the other party's hand away from his neckline. "Ah Dan, you can't solve any problems like this!"
"Woo... I know, I know! Mutu suddenly buried his head in his knees and held his head in his hands, "Oh, Mario, lovely Mario, poor Mario..."
"Dude, forget about your son for a while!" Crespo was also obviously affected, and turned back and said: "Maybe a victory will save your son's heart?" ”
"That's right, Mario must be sitting in front of the TV at this point. Whenever you score, he says to his little friend, "Look, that's my dad!" ””
"Oh? Are you sure? ”
"Really, of course it's true!" Tang Wu nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, I got it." Mu Tu snorted a few more times and wiped his tears with the tissue Tang Wu handed over. "Sorry, Don, I was a little excited just now."
"It's okay, I'm used to it!" Tang Wu comforted.
"I'm going to score today!" Mutu suddenly clenched his fist with one hand, and his eyes lit up with determination, "I want to give the most wonderful goal to the most beautiful Miss Artias!" ”
"Oh, Fake!" Hearing the end, Tang Wu slapped his head, "Okay, I've long been used to it." ”
Tang Wu still remembers the cover of the Romanian edition of the adult magazine "FHM" on the table at home in September 2002, which was really a pair of towering peaks!
......
Although Tuesday was the second working day, nearly 50,000 fans took to the Olympic Stadium to cheer on Roberto Mancini's side. They hope that Mihajlovic and his team-mates can pull off a miracle and beat the 'millionaires' side Chelsea in one fell swoop.
Before the start of the game, the North Stand became a silver world, with more than 10,000 home fans uniformly raising small silver flags, including Lazio's sky-blue and white flags.
Lazio have won two league games in a row and, more importantly, the team's form is much better. It's not just the competitive state, it's also the mental outlook.
In the pre-match interview, Veron confided in himself and many Lazio fans: May the two sides join hands to qualify!
But it was supposed to be a contest between "friends", but injuries and suspensions ruined the good mood of many Blue Eagle supporters.
How important Stam is to Mancho and Lazio, how solid Peruzzi is, it's all well known! But they were all unavailable due to temporary injuries.
But Lazio's bad luck is not limited to these, the coveted three-forward attacking formation of Cesar and Mancho is now impossible to implement due to the absence of Brazil's left midfielder, and the worst is the suspension of right wing-back Odoro.
The last game against Chelsea was given a meaningless yellow card for a stupid foul. Italy's new international, the most in-form player in all of Lazio, will have to watch the game with the crowd.
Lazio had almost their entire backline cut off, with only poor Mihajlovic still struggling to hold on.
The most interesting thing is that the Rome derby between Lazio and Roma was just four days ago, and although it was a contest between Italian and English teams, the Roma fans were not polite at all.
Because Lateri is a Roma and a Roma fan, many fans wear Roma jerseys to support Chelsea.
As the players entered, there was a wave of boos from the Lazio fans in the stands.
Rakelli has been booed again, this time by a Chelsea player.
"Fake, traitor, why are you embarrassed to be here?"
"Get out! Soft eggs! This is not the place for traitors! ”
"Traitor, you deserve hell!"
As the Lazio fans became louder and louder, it became clear who the other was targeting.
Crespo, who played as Chelsea's starting striker, watched it all calmly, so that he would not be distracted by the fans who scolded the broadcaster just after calling his name.
The scolding didn't last long, and the name of Argentine midfielder Veron resounded at the Stadio Olimpico.
Because Veron had said countless good things about Lazio before the game, he was greeted by unanimous applause from the fans.
After all, Veron's two years at Lazio can be regarded as a hero.
"The pre-game atmosphere was very strong!" Tang Wu wiped his nose, and he heard the Italian national anthem sung by the fans in the North Stand.
"We would like to qualify with Lazio, but we will choose the latter in the face of victory!" Frank Lampard was right behind Tang Wu, "It's the same with Lazio. ”
"I see!" Tang Wu looked suddenly enlightened.
"What, TOM, don't you want to win?"
"Of course I want to win! But I've heard that Lazio have been in good form lately! ”
"Oh? Then you must know that Chelsea have been in good form lately! I'm in good shape too! Lampard winked at Tang Wu, "And you, the Great Wall of China!" Go fast! Come on! ”
......
Huang Jianxiang sat excitedly in front of the broadcast screen and spoke into the microphone to explain the game.
Since Tang Wu gradually became the main force of Chelsea, Huang Jianxiang's Serie A commentary tasks have become less and less, and the focus is on the Premier League.
In this Champions League, there are both Chelsea and Lazio, and Huang Jianxiang has put a lot of effort into it before the game.
"Judging from the starting lineup of this game, Lazio, who have been disrupted by injuries one after another, can only make up half of the main lineup."
'But after all, it's home, and with the Italian team's long defensive tradition, it's not so easy for Chelsea to keep picking up three points on the road.'
"Look, this is Lazio's coach Roberto Mancini, the former Italy international who led Lazio out of trouble two years ago."
"Lazio's starting line-up for this game is goalkeeper Sereni."
'The four defenders are Zauri, Koto, Mihajlovic and Favali.
'Fiore, Liverani, Albertini, Stankovic in midfield.
"The two sharp knives on the front line are still Inzaghi Jr. and Corradi."
"On Chelsea's side, the starting goalkeeper is still the young player Tang Wu we are familiar with. It is reported that after the end of the first half of the Premier League season, Tang Wu may return to China to participate in the warm-up match of the National Olympic Games. And it is said that Alihan also told the Football Association that if Tang Wu still performs well at Chelsea, he will consider recruiting Tang Wu to be selected for the national football team to prepare for next year's Asian Cup and World Preliminaries. ”
"The four defenders are still Glen Johnson, Gallas, Terry, Bridge."
'In midfield, Larney again sent on Frank Lampard and Veron joined forces with the pair. However, looking at Frank Lampard's position, it seems to be a little further back, similar to that of Claude Makelle. Duff, who has been in good form, is also on the pitch, still in the familiar right winger position. ”
'Up front, Latelli is still fielded by two former Serie A goalscorers, Adrian Mutu and Crespo.
'Mutu has shone in the Premier League and Crespo's killer instinct is gradually returning.
"In the face of his old club, will Crespo show mercy?"
As Huang Jianxiang methodically introduced the list of players from both sides, the midfield playmaking ability of Veron and Duff was gradually revealed.
Coupled with Frank Lampard and Claude Makellele, the visiting team gradually grasped the initiative on the pitch.
