Chang Sheng did not fall into the pit dug by the media in the end.

He insisted on not judging the referee.

This makes those who are waiting to teach him a lesson very depressed.

I thought to myself, I usually talk a lot, why did Chang Sheng, who has a foul mouth, suddenly change his sex?

Losing the match against Chievo, Chang Win didn't take it too seriously.

Unbeaten in the first season, I don't dare to think about winning this thing. It's always going to be lost and the players aren't consistent, especially after the UEFA Cup knockout rounds start playing.

Now that he's decided to win the UEFA Cup, it's all he needs to do with the top four in the league.

Chang Win decided to focus on the UEFA Cup.

In a few years, the League Cup will be gone, and he won't be able to win this title.

Just like collecting things, out-of-print things are always worth the most.

The League Cup, if not out of print, is far inferior to the Champions League. But as soon as it's out of print, Chang Sheng is like collecting one and putting it away.

Lazio host their UEFA Cup quarter-final opponents, Zenit St. Petersburg, in midweek.

Chang Sheng knows how difficult it is to play away from Zenit St. Petersburg when the weather is cold.

At the beginning of March, you can still feel a little cold in Italy, not to mention in St. Petersburg, further north.

So all you have to do is get your team to win as many goals as possible at home in the first leg.

It's not a question of whether you win or not, it's how many you win.

If it's just a score of 1:0 and 2:1, then Lazio will have to be prepared to fight hard when they go away.

The implications for the rest of the season were profound.

Chang Sheng was reluctant to do that.

In this game, he wants to make sure that he wins by a big score.

※※※

On their home turf, Lazio picked up the pace from the start of the game, without any regard for whether they would be able to hold out until the end of the game at that pace.

Even the commentators were skeptical that Lazio, who played like this, would be able to maintain this rhythm throughout the game.

Winning is all about scoring as fast as possible, scoring as many goals as possible.

Ten minutes into the game, Lazio took the lead.

Pandev opened the scoring for the team.

After the next five minutes. Lazio scored another goal. It was Jose who scored this time. Passarella, who doubled the score with a header from a corner.

Next, Zenit St. Petersburg began to recycle the formation. They realised what Lazio were going to do – they were going to kill the suspense of the two legs at home!

Naturally, Zenit St. Petersburg could not let them succeed.

So Advocaat didn't care about the scene anymore, and asked the whole team to return to defense and compress Lazio's space and time.

But at this time, Zenit St. Petersburg had fallen into the rhythm of Lazio, and they were not used to the fast pace and were led by Lazio out of order.

Before the end of the first half, another goal was conceded.

At half-time, the players were allowed to eat and regain their strength, and they had a good rest for fifteen minutes, and the high rhythm continued in the second half.

When Chang Sheng found that there were players who couldn't hold on. Decisive substitutions.

Make sure the team's pace doesn't slow down due to a drop in fitness from one player.

In the 75th minute, Chang Sheng had already used up three substitutions, and then he began to slow down, start to possess the ball, and use control to defend.

And this time. The score of the match was already 4:0, and Lazio almost killed the suspense of the second leg.

The fast-paced, high-confrontational style of play left Zenit St. Petersburg helpless and helpless.

The rest of the time becomes garbage time.

Zenit St. Petersburg was beaten out of breath and did not rob much.

Until the end of the game, the score did not change again.

Lazio beat Zenit St. Petersburg 4-0 at home.

Journalists all believe that Lazio have advanced to the quarterfinals ahead of schedule.

But Chang Sheng doesn't see it that way.

“4：0？ They still have a chance back at home. I don't think it's time to start celebrating. ”

In his post-match press conference, Chang Sheng said.

Advocaat looked frustrated: "We lost, and I don't want to lie. In fact, Lazio is doing very well, their football is like coming from an alien planet, and it is not the same planet as us at all...... Second round? I don't know ......."

Since then, the winning Lazio has earned a nickname.

"Cosmos Team"!

When Chang Sheng saw such a title in the media. He was drinking milk, and he almost squirted the milk out of his mouth.

Team Cosmos?

Isn't that Barcelona's dream three?

Back then, as fans, everyone teased each other on the forum, and when it came to Barcelona, they used the Cosmos team as their name. The title is not always positive.

I didn't expect that now my own team has replaced Barcelona. Became a member of the Cosmos team......

Chang Sheng didn't know that in Chinese forums, everyone called Lazio the Cosmos team. What kind of mindset will it be......

Lazio beat Reggina 3-1 in the next league match, while Juventus were held to a 0-0 draw at home by AC Milan. The difference between the two sides has narrowed from three points to one, and Juventus is in a dangerous position again.

Chang Sheng publicly mocked Juventus for their lack of competitiveness in their post-match press conference.

In the UEFA Cup away in midweek, Lazio lost 2-0 in St. Petersburg's snow and howling winds. However, he still advanced to the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 4:2.

Winning is getting closer to one of his goals this season – the UEFA Cup!

Lazio drew a good draw in the UEFA Cup.

Their opponent in the quarter-finals is Sevilla.

A Spanish team.

As soon as I played the Spanish team, I felt very relaxed and relaxed when I won the game.

Because he couldn't be more familiar with the Spanish team.

Sevilla have also gradually grown up in La Liga in the last two years, and after not being suppressed by Valencia, many teams in La Liga football have risen and have the potential to fight with the traditional duo all day long.

This Sevilla team is very different from the one that Chang Sheng first came into contact with, with a number of strong stars in the squad.

But they're all old acquaintances who always win.

Their main goalkeeper is Palop. Yes, it's the same Palop who played as a substitute for Canizares in Valencia. After Tsujitsu left Valencia. He was also eager to find a new world, so he applied to leave. Soler, who was tormented by debt problems, sold him to Sevilla without saying a word.

In addition, Sevilla also had Daniel, who later became Barcelona's main right-back. Alves, striker Saviola, on loan from Barcelona, and later the main striker of the Brazilian national team at the World Cup in South Africa, Luiz. Fabiano, the Brazilian midfielder's star Renato, the famous high school striker Canoute, and the excellent Spanish winger Jesus. Keylor Navas, who later died of a heart attack, is still alive.

It's no wonder that such a team will win two consecutive UEFA Cups in the next two years. Under the leadership of Ramos, he beat Real Madrid, Barcelona and other giants. Be the Team of the Year.

But Chang Sheng is not afraid of them.

He is familiar with Spanish football and the Spanish team and he knows what to do against Sevilla.

And on the other hand, the other three groups of opponents are not very strong.

Maybe just a Schalke 04 is still a little capable.

Sofia Levski was defeated by Lazio in the group stage.

Rapid Bucharest and Steaua Bucharest are both Romanian teams, although Bucharest Stars are giants in the Romanian league. But when it comes to the European stage, they are no longer a threat now.

Basel and Middlesbrough from Switzerland are close in strength but are not a threat to permanent victory.

As long as Lazio tackles Sevilla, they will basically clear the barrier to winning the title.

Fighting in the League Cup is obviously a quicker way to see results than fighting in the league.

The UEFA Cup quarter-finals kick off at the end of March, just a week and a half away, with two league games in between.

There's not much time left to prepare for the victory.

In preparation for the League Cup. Winning the league was abandoned.

In the thirtieth round of the league, he challenged Inter Milan away.

In the first half of the season, in order to be able to win, Chang Win insulted Mancini by any means. Angered him, the team won the game.

Now Chang Sheng has no interest in winning or losing the game, so he seems quiet before the game, and it doesn't matter if he wins or loses. His heart is already in the League Cup.

As a result, Lazio lost their second game of the season with a 2-1 defeat away to Inter Milan.

In response to a reporter's question after the game, "does losing two games mean that Lazio has started to decline". Chang Sheng replied: "Juventus lost earlier than us, are they going downhill?" ”

The reporter was dumbfounded by a rhetorical question.

Chang Sheng took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Don't ask such stupid questions in the future, when Lazio loses ten games in a row, you can come and ask." But is there really that day? ”

Ten consecutive defeats, in his winning coaching career, whether in Getafe, or Valencia, even in Roma, which is at the lowest point of his personal coaching career, has not lost ten games in a row......

So, that day may never come.

※※※

Lazio lost again, while Juventus won again, and the gap between the two sides was once again widened to a four-point gap.

But with eight rounds of the league remaining, Juventus didn't feel safe at all.

Lazio's performances this season have shown that any miracle they can pull off is a normal possibility.

In order to secure a bigger lead, they have to give it their all.

Juventus is right to have this idea.

Because in the next 31st round, Lazio defeated Sampdoria 2-0 at home, while Juventus was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Roma.

The difference between the two sides has narrowed to two points.

Although Roma and Lazio are sworn enemies in the same city, Roma are also sworn enemies of Juventus. Maybe their defeat or draw with Juventus will give Lazio an advantage, but in the face of death, let them surrender, that is absolutely unacceptable.

So Rome objectively helped Lazio......

It's good that it's not like Atletico Madrid, in order to disgust the city's rival Real Madrid, deliberately losing to Barcelona by a large score, which is a bit of a discipline for Rome......
