Chapter 604: Quick Goals

After three rounds of the Champions League group stage, Group C is a special one.

First-placed Millwall, with two wins and one draw in three games, seven points.

Lazio have drawn three games and drawn three, and they have only three points.

Three points is definitely not much!

In the last round of Lazio's draw away to Millwall, almost everyone thought that they would drop third place in the standings, but what they didn't expect was that in the other game, Real Madrid and Olympiacos drew 0-0, and both teams had a record of three games, two draws and one defeat, both with only two points.

Lazio drew three games and drew three, but they took the lead in points.

This gave Lazio hope of qualifying.

To say that in Group C of the Champions League, the most promising to qualify should be Millwall and Real Madrid, Millwall needless to say, after the big win over Real Madrid in the first round, many media listed them in the ranks of "definitely qualified".

Real Madrid is a traditional giant, even if one or two games are not played well, it is enough to play other games seriously.

Lazio and Olympiacos, if they want to qualify, it will depend on luck and fighting.

Luck is that the opponent doesn't perform well.

Striving is to perform well on your own.

Now Lazio's luck has come, Real Madrid is not doing well, Olympiacos needless to say, few points and poor strength, as long as Lazio can perform well, they may qualify for Group C.

The next game is very important.

Lazio coach Derio Rossi has set a simple goal: to play the remaining three Champions League games as if they were finals.

Rossi talked to the players about the goal, but it was not spread to the outside world, but the Italian media would build momentum for Lazio, and Lazio fans were also affected, thinking that the match with Millwall was related to the team's qualification, so they used various means to influence the opponent.

What Lazio fans don't know is that their tactics didn't work, but rather inspired Millwall. The whole Millwall squad was furious about the treatment they were being treated and everyone was holding their breath to do well in the game.

It makes a lot of sense.

Does Millwall have a fighting spirit? Theoretically, players must have fighting spirit in the Champions League, but the fighting spirit is also divided into situations, such as Millwall, the stable first place in Group C, the second place in three rounds of league pulling down four points, and the rest of the games are careless, and it is no problem to qualify from the group.

The second leg against Lazio was not taken very seriously by the team, including the coaching staff, who had just celebrated a new unbeaten run and had yet to recover from the aftermath.

Lazio fans have directly let them recover.

The competition really became a competition.

Lazio was treated as a big game, and Millwall was also stimulated as a big game, and when the game was about to start, the smell of gunpowder was very strong.

Lazio fans showed unfriendliness, holding unfriendly signs in the stands, one of which even read, "Yellows get out of Rome".

Zhang Yang only glanced at it, and immediately found the fourth official, who pointed in the direction of the stands, "I think you should understand." ”

The fourth official nodded, he would report the matter to the police, and Lazio would receive the corresponding punishment.

The response on the scene was fast.

By the time the two sides stood up and prepared to kick off, the racist banner had been forcibly taken down by the security guards, and the fans involved had also been taken away.

This did not allow Lazio fans to restrain their hostility.

They collectively booed, and from the position closer to the coach's seat, there were all kinds of insults and abuse.

Zhang Yang watched the game with a calm face.

Although I know that some things must be faced, it is also very infuriating for the opposing fans to do so.

on the field.

Millwall's players were holding their breath, especially Vardy, Braniff and others, who were furious at the insult to the team.

The last time Lazio went to the Stade Neil, they did not receive such treatment, and Zhang Yang praised Lazio's performance after the game.

What now?

The other party is repaying virtue with grievances!

————

With the referee's whistle, the match was officially played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Millwall put up a position and went on the offensive when they came up.

Lazio's impact on Millwall was still stuck in the last game, when they didn't feel too much pressure.

Coach Derio Rossi has the same impression of Millwall, admitting that Millwall are very strong and play quite well in attack and defense, but Lazio can still match Millwall at home.

It didn't take long for Rossi to realize that she didn't seem right.

In the last game between the two teams, Zhang Yang took into account the bad luck of the "little murderer", and constantly emphasized defense before the game, and did not play much offensive strength at all.

Now it's different.

The day before the race, the result of "Divination of Words and Spirits" turned out to be 'auspicious', a lucky thing that didn't need special attention at all.

Millwall can play as they please.

Zhang Yang directly arranged the 352 double-core front and rear standing position play, playing the rhythm and fast attack, at the beginning of the game, Millwall also showed the ability to break fast, and it only took more than ten seconds to pass the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Vardy catches the ball and turns and volleys!

Defender Stendaldo used his body to block the ball off the touchline, but the shot still scared Lazio.

It was only then that Lazio had the ball for the first time.

Lazio were slow in attack, wasting a lot of time with their constant passes, and when they kicked the ball across the halfway line, Morris rushed over and controlled the ball in front of the opposition player.

Counterattack!

The moment Morris stopped the ball, Millwall launched an offensive mode, with Maxey and Simpson on the wings, Vardy and Luka Toney in front, all rushing forward quickly.

Morris and Livermore made a combination, steadied the ball and quickly passed forward to Braniff.

Braniff burst out on the ball, shook off opposition midfielder Ledesma, and then quickly dribbled the ball to the right front.

Lazio is desperately rushing back.

Centre-back Kribari simply didn't retreat and waited on Braniff's dribbling route, ready to make a timely interception.

That's when Braniff made a pass.

The Irishman played the ball to the left and Vardy ran right into position to get on the edge of the box to get on the ball.

Lazio is nervous at the back!

Millwall have a lot of fronts to defend and Jamie Valdy is definitely one of the most threatening, he is Millwall's top scorer, scoring a lot of goals in the league and the Champions League.

Stendaldo decided instantly to abandon his marking of Luca Toney and instead come over to block Vardy, but he didn't give up completely and ran on the ball lane.

Vardy made a pass.

Stendaldo, with his experience, subconsciously blocked in the direction of the goal, thinking that Vardy would pass the ball to the unguarded Luka Toney, but Vardy did not pass.

By the time Stendalldo realized that he had been deceived, it was too late.

Vardy calmly took a step forward and swung his right foot in tune.

"Bang!"

Three minutes into the game, Jamie Vardy had a second shot on goal and the ball flashed through a white light towards the Ballotta goalkeeper.

The ball rushed past the Balota and into the net, bringing up a wave of netting.

The stadium was quiet.

————

From the moment the fans entered, there was no quiet moment for the Lazio fans, they kept shouting, cheering for the team very little, booing the away players, shouting angrily, intimidating even more.

This kind of fan cheering is really unacceptable.

As the game officially began, the cheers of the fans finally added cheers, but it only appeared when Lazio got the ball.

When Millwall got the ball, it turned into a shrill boo.

The boos kept going.

When Vardy got the ball, the boos were at the highest level, as if the whole stadium was filled with boos, and people didn't feel their scalps tingling.

That might help.

But most of Millwall's players are also seasoned, Vardy has already grown up, and he will not be afraid of the shouts of the fans, the voices of the visiting fans, and more encouragement for him.

The coach once said, "The louder the boos from the away fans, the more proof they are afraid." That's right, they're afraid of us! ”

"The fans are scared of me!"

That's exactly what Vardy thought when he shot at goal, and he fired a good shot that went straight through the Lazio goal.

The stadium fell silent.

Lazio fans came to the game with the mood of "hoping the team wins", and their boos were meant to influence Millwall, and for the game itself, they thought that the process would be difficult, and even if they won the game, it would not be easy to score goals.

But the goal came so fast!

Three minutes!

After only three minutes of play, the first goal was scored and, devastatingly, it did not belong to Lazio, but to the opponent Millwall.

Did Millwall score?

When the Lazio fans came to their senses, the Millwall fans who followed the team to Rome began to cheer excitedly.

How can this work?

The Lazio fans couldn't help but 'boo' again, their boos were incessant, partly to suppress the visiting fans, and on the other hand, they didn't know what to do.

It's hard to accept that the opponent is scoring a goal.

The Millwall players on the field didn't seem to have any intention of celebrating, Vardy quickly went to the opponent's goal, picked up the football, and decisively returned to the center circle, urging the referee to hurry up and kick off.

The referee was Kentern, from the Netherlands, who was officiating in the Champions League for his first year and Millwall for the first time.

Kenteng was also surprised when the goal came quickly.

Now things are even more surprising: the side that scored the goal is urging a restart? If you don't know, you'll think they're lagging behind!

It's interesting.

"Maybe it's because the fans aren't friendly?" Kentenn had some sympathy for Lazio and must have been the Lazio fans' approach that angered Millwall, otherwise Millwall would not have been able to do so.

The Lazio players were feeling a little embarrassed, and Vardy's approach was a bit insulting to put it in a high position.

How?

Too few goals?

Vardy's approach was to their liking, they didn't think there was anything to score, they were just lucky to score one in the opening game. In such a good home environment, Lazio always believed that even if the opponent scored a goal by luck, the final victory would belong to Lazio......
