Lazio have a lot of confidence in the game and there are a lot of factors that support their confidence --

For example, playing at home.

For example, the fanatical support of fans.

Another example is the draw in the last round away.

The first two are still objective factors, and the last one is the experience of Lazio players, who can draw away from home, so what's the big deal about winning at home?

When Millwall scored, Lazio didn't feel the pressure, and it was normal for football matches to have accidents.

The game has just started and they still have a lot of time.

Lazio coach Rossi also thinks so, he thinks Millwall is lucky, but after a long game, Lazio's chances are not small.

The game doesn't seem to be going as planned.

The next battle between the two sides was very fierce, and the area near the halfway line became the most fierce battlefield, and both teams knew the importance of fighting for midfield, constantly investing in troops and constantly entangled.

In the process, Millwall continued to play threatening attacks, and Lazio did not take advantage of anything, and became a passive defensive side for most of the time.

This situation worries Lazio.

Lazio fans have an extreme opinion, they have always felt that Lazio did not have a bad result, drawing with Real Madrid, Millwall and Olympiacos, and there were not many points in three draws, but Lazio performed well.

Millwall are also a strong team, but they are a bit worse than Lazio.

Lazio is a traditional giant.

Lazio are not giants in Europe, but they also have an illustrious history, at least much better than Millwall.

Millwall is just an ordinary club in the Premier League, and even if they have achieved good results in the past two seasons, they are still a team that has suddenly risen, and it cannot be compared with the historical heritage that Lazio has.

The last round of the two teams played each other gave Lazio fans confidence that the team would be able to suppress Millwall if they played normally.

Now the situation is not what I imagined.

Lazio fights very fiercely, but the opponent is also fierce, in such a stalemate game, logically speaking, it is difficult for either side to play a sharp attack, because the confrontation is too strong, and the cooperation will be affected.

Millwall didn't seem to be affected much, and their attack and coordination were still fluid.

This surprised Lazio fans -

"This is Millwall?"

"They are indeed a lot stronger than they thought! We're not too much of an opponent! ”

"The side that has the advantage in the game may not win!"

Some fans comforted.

The phrase didn't do much, Millwall had already taken the lead.

The stubborn fans, insisting that Lazio were stronger, soon fell silent as Millwall scored again.

In the 13th minute of the game, Josh Simpson made a direct pass from the right, Luca Toney burst into the penalty area and shot directly, the football was blocked by the opposing defender, and then the football was handed to Morris, who controlled the ball and passed it to Maxey on the side.

Maxey's cross finds Luca Toney again!

Toney didn't disappoint this time as he squeezed Stendaldo and turned and volleyed the ball into the bottom left corner.

2 to 0!

The moment the ball flew into the goal, the Lazio fans were all silent.

When Millwall scored the first goal, they thought they had a lot of time and could get it back, but now they have two goals, can they get it back?

Some Lazio fans have a pessimistic view, they are not optimistic, they were poured into two goals in ten minutes, and they want to talk about luck in the past, but Lazio has no advantage on the field, the two sides are normal scrambles, attack, and it is Millwall who has the advantage.

Lazio on the dugout.

Head coach Rossi finally stopped relaxing, he frowned hard, looked at the game on the field, and suddenly had a bad premonition-

He underestimated Millwall.

Maybe it's not just him, the whole Italian football, have underestimated Millwall, various reports believe that Lazio is forced to draw away, and the home team has a chance to win, and some media also said, "As long as they win against Millwall, the possibility of Lazio qualifying will be greatly increased, because there are two opponents left, and Lazio can easily beat one of them." ”

Rossi thinks so, too.

This match is going to be played as if it were the final.

So far in the game, Rossi has found that it is not so simple to win, and Millwall has shown much better form than the previous game.

"Is it really the right thing to do with the team?"

Rosie became suspicious.

If there was a Premier League coach standing in front of Rossi, he would have said to him with a mockery, "I don't know how strong Lazio is, but most of the teams that play against Millwall have lost badly." ”

Premier League coaches know Millwall better.

Since the start of the new season, Millwall have dominated the entire Premier League with a magnificent attack, as evidenced by their current unbeaten streak, and they often play big scores, as long as they play against opponents, they can easily score.

This is one of the reasons why Millwall's front field is considered the strongest in Europe.

Now Lazio understands it.

Rossi also understands a little why Real Madrid and Olympiacos were won by Millwall one after another.

The opponent's attack is too sharp!

While Rossi was worried about the situation on the pitch, Millwall scored again.

It was a corner.

Braniff rubbed the ball forward with his foot, and Morris turned his back and volleyed the ball straight into the corner.

3 to 0!

It was a goal that left Lazio in despair.

At the start of the game, they were confident that they would beat their opponents and win, but the goals came so fast that they didn't have time to react.

When I came to my senses, the score was 3-0.

Lazio finally realized that something must have gone wrong, otherwise how could the opponent score consecutive goals? A lot of players have taken a look at the dugout.

Rosie was sitting there.

Rossi is the manager of Lazio, and it is he who brings confidence to the players before the game, using words and the meaning of the Champions League to inspire the fighting spirit of the whole team and make everyone play to the best of their ability.

What now?

Rossi was silent.

Rossi knew what to do, but the first half was only halfway through, and for most of the game, twenty minutes was the beginning, and some of the players were just getting fit in.

But it didn't take long for the opponent to score three goals.

The game seems to be over early?

Rossi felt a little sad, there was nothing more desperate than conceding a goal in a short period of time, they came to the competition with a lot of fighting spirit, but after more than 20 minutes, the suspense seemed to be gone.

Does Lazio still have a chance?

Rosie couldn't help but ask himself, he had the answer in his heart, but he didn't want to think about it.

The game didn't start long, and it didn't make much sense to do anything.

Millwall seemed to be giving Rossi a definite reply.

In the 37th minute, Simpson took a long-range free-kick, Maxey won the ball from the spot, and Vardy pushed it into the net in front of goal.

4 to 0!

When Vardy scored, Millwall was finally in the mood to celebrate, with the players cheering wildly on the pitch.

Lineker, a BBC radio commentator in the UK, couldn't help but praise the goal, "It was a wonderful set-piece combination, from Simpson to Maxey to Vardy, it was so fast that the Lazio defenders couldn't react at all." ”

'It was Vardy's second goal of the game and his sixth of the season!'

"You know, the Champions League is only in the fourth group stage, in four games, six goals have been scored, Vardy has scored more individual goals, more than most teams have scored, super high efficiency, will make Millwall's opponents feel chilling......

Lazio was already chilling.

They were four goals behind before the first half had even passed, and they were in no mood to think about a win, or even a tie.

Four balls, how to chase?

It's easy to see Millwall score, in fact, it's not easy to find a goal, and in addition, their goal seems to be under constant threat, and their defence has never been consistent from the start of the game until now.

The Lazio fans in the stands were silent.

They did a lot of things, they kept using methods to influence Millwall, and in the end the team couldn't beat the opponent, what else could they do?

They didn't arrive first at all, and the gap between the two sides would be so big.

Where is this peer fight?

In front of the mighty Millwall, Lazio's technique was rough and the coordination was rough, and the whole was not comparable at all, as if Millwall were playing against an amateur team.

This feeling is so bad!

Lazio coach Rossi is still sitting steadily, just now, he was going to do something, such as letting the team strengthen the defense, but now there is no need, four goals behind, it will definitely not be able to win, and there is no point in strengthening the defense, he thinks he can think about what to say to the media after the game.

This is critical.

Rossi is a veteran coach of Italian football, he took charge in 1990, and after Foggia, Salernitana, Pescara, Genoa, Lecce, Atalanta and other teams have left his footprints, two years ago, Rossi replaced Giuseppe Papadopoulo as the new coach of Lazio.

That season, Rossi was a sensation, leading his side to a UEFA Cup qualification, but Lazio was involved in a phonegate scandal that did not make the trip.

Last season was Rossi's most successful one, and despite being deducted 11 league points (later reduced to three points on appeal), Lazio ended up finishing third under his leadership and qualifying for the Champions League.

Now leading the team to participate in the Champions League, Lazio's results don't matter, even if they only finish fourth, they don't even qualify for the UEFA Cup, Rossi is as handsome as he is.

But Rossi knows one more fact: in the era of commercial football, no coach can have a stable position for a long time.

As long as the grades are not good, you will definitely step down!

It's the law!

There are some coaches who can coach a club for more than ten or twenty years because they have always led the team to good results, with occasional ups and downs, and they are better than most clubs.

For example, Ferguson of Manchester United.

Manchester United's results have had their ups and downs, but even if they are not good, they are in the top three in the league.

It's the same with Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger's Arsenal team has good results to win top honors, and poor results are also one of the strong teams in the Premier League, and they are eligible to compete for the title.

Lazio is different.

Lazio are not the kind of brilliant team, with good results to finish in the top three of the league, and it is not uncommon for them to finish in the bottom of the league with poor results.

In this case, no coach can stabilize the position.

Now that we are about to lose to Millwall by a big score, and we are four goals down in the first half alone, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction for the club and the fans, and it is important to have a statement after the game.

Rosie began to meditate.

Millwall wasn't going to think about Rossi, the players were holding their back to score a few more goals, and while Rossi was still preparing to speak, the fifth goal had already arrived.

In the 43rd minute, taking advantage of a corner kick on the left, Zambrotta followed up and headed the ball into the goal.

5 to 0!

It only took half time for Millwall to score five goals!
