Chapter 40: Ugly
"Ji Ming's sudden start has disrupted Nottingham Forest's defensive plan! Chen Jian was easily worn by him, and even more made George. Wood was desperate to stop him, but he didn't expect Ji Ming to suddenly come and pick a pass! Next up is Messi's performance! Stop the ball and shoot in one go! Even Peter. Johnson has been hailed as England's best goalkeeper of the next decade, so what? Lazio leads Nottingham Forest 1-0! ”
"Messi's goal is very beautiful, but this goal has 70% credit, I'm afraid it will be remembered on the young Chinese season! His sudden straight break in midfield completely disrupted Nottingham Forest's defence! The string of breakthroughs was wonderful, and even more exciting was in the face of George. Wood's frontal defense, his back-to-back pick-and-roll! It was he who opened the deadlock for Lazio and created such a good opportunity for Messi! The future of this young Chinese player must be limitless! ”
"Messi! Messi!! The ageless Messi! Facing what is known as the most difficult goal in Europe, he broke the deadlock with a beautiful shot! ”
"Who would have thought that just this summer, the Argentine would be very close to leaving Lazio? Isco's injury kept him alive, and he had another spring in his career! It's not fair to Isco to say that, but I really think that Isco's injury may have been decided by fate......"
"Messi's goal was very beautiful! He stopped the ball beautifully, and shot decisively and accurately. Even Peter. Johnson, in the face of such a shot, there is nothing to do! He rubbed the football, but did not change the direction of the ball's flight, which shows how powerful Messi's kick is! ”
Messi was stunned at first, because he saw that the football was saved by the goalkeeper, and thought that the football would be saved out of the goal, but he didn't expect the football to fly into the goal in the end.
After confirming that he really scored. He opened his arms, turned around and ran towards Ji Ming, who was assisting him.
Ji Ming was sitting on the ground, raising his arms and shouting.
Messi rushed through the crowd and then pushed him again, pressing him down on top of him.
The other players rushed up, but instead of pressing up, they pulled the two men up.
Then hug and celebrate.
If they all press up, it is estimated that the season will be scrapped directly with the small bodies of Messi and Ji Ming......
※※※
After Lazio's goal. The Lazio bench on the sidelines and the people in the coach's box were also excited.
They rushed out of their seats and onto the pitch, only to recede like a low tide.
Even Chang Sheng was very excited, raised his arms and shouted, and the two assistant coaches around him, Rudy. Gonzalez and Nesta hug to celebrate the goal.
Although it is said that Lazio's strength is stronger than Nottingham Forest. But this game is actually a game that the Lazios have been suffering all along.
Because Nottingham Forest have drawn with the likes of Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund in the previous two group games, and have not conceded a goal.
So can Lazio break the deadlock against a team like Nottingham Forest?
This is something that many people are faintly worried about.
If they can't score, they will be held to a draw at home to Nottingham Forest, or even beaten. The weakest team in the group will not be able to take all three points. It will affect the next team's plan to qualify first in the group stage.
Now Messi's goal has relieved everyone.
Nailed it!
Although the game is not over yet, everyone does have such a relieved thought in their hearts.
For Nottingham Forest, who are extremely good at defending, once they are led in the game. The rest of the game will not be good.
Lazio, on the other hand, have too many options.
The safest thing is to continue to keep possession of the ball and not rush to attack, if Nottingham Forest does not press out, then Lazio's one-goal victory is acceptable.
If Nottingham Forest want an equaliser. And when it comes out to attack, Lazio will resolutely fight their counter-attack. Let this team, which is known for its defensive counter-attacks, also see Lazio's counter-attacking defense.
※※※
Chang Sheng after celebrating the goal with his colleagues. Turned his head to look next door.
Nottingham Forest's England manager, Toni Toni Anderson. Don stood on the sidelines with a blank face.
He knew well that Tony. Why is Don Muran.
Because there isn't much choice for a team like Nottingham Forest.
They started with the idea of drawing with Lazio away from home, and they didn't even have any other options in place, such as what to do if they fell behind first.
It's not about Tony. Don is incompetent, but because it makes no sense to do so.
With the difference in quality between Nottingham Forest and Lazio, if Nottingham Forest fall behind first, the game will be meaningless for them.
There is still the term "Lazio rhythm" in football.
Being led by Lazio will be tricky for many teams, and Nottingham Forest will not be surprised.
So Tony. Don is actually ruined.
This kind of courage is commendable, but their luck and strength are still a little worse.
If Messi didn't score this goal, Lazio would have had a harder time.
But now that Messi has scored, this assumption is meaningless.
He smiled.
It's really a good opponent, and there aren't too many teams that can make Lazio so embarrassed.
However, because he is a good opponent, Chang Sheng does not plan to show mercy to his subordinates in the future.
Because Chang Sheng smelled a very dangerous smell from this game.
Now subject to the strength of Nottingham Forest, Tony. Done's talent wasn't fully realized.
If in the future, Nottingham Forest's strength becomes stronger, then this Tony. Don will definitely be his fierce rival. No matter which team you coach in at that time, you will inevitably meet him.
...... to the enemy Be merciless!
※※※
Tony. Don is in pain right now.
His elaborate plan failed, and the tight wall-like defence allowed Lazio to take advantage of the opportunity to score.
When the ball flew into the goal, Nottingham Forest lost the game.
He doesn't think his side will have a chance to equalise.
Because he knows how to win, he's not the kind of coach who gets carried away and presses hard after taking the lead. In that case, you still have a chance.
He will definitely be a person who takes victory as the highest goal, as long as he can win, he doesn't care if he wins or not.
So in the next matches, Lazio will definitely shrink their defense to ensure their victory.
And Nottingham Forest can't press up and attack, which will only concede more goals.
Since failure is inevitable, it is necessary to plan for this situation. Be able to lose by one goal and never lose more.
The group stage is all about goal difference. If they are beaten by Lazio by a big score in this game, it will be very detrimental to the future qualification. If you need to compare the goal difference with Real Madrid or Borussia Dortmund, won't you suffer?
And if the team that claims to be the strongest defense in Europe makes Lazio a sieve, it will be too demoralizing......
Tony. Don thought about it and made his decision.
After conceding the goal, the team's tactical strategy remained the same. Or continue to hold on.
Until the end of the game, 0:1 is the best score so far!
※※※
After the game restarted, sure enough, it was like Tony. That's what Don expected.
Lazio, who are ahead, did not continue to attack aggressively and try to score another goal like that.
It's no different from the previous rhythm.
Keep the ball firmly at your feet and pass it back and forth, constantly inverting your feet in the midfield.
This time it was even more than before, and they had to try to attack before they scored.
Now they don't even try to attack. They've already got a goal anyway.
Of course, such a game was not good-looking, but Lazio played with peace of mind, and the Lazio fans at home did not let out a cold and noble boo to criticize their team for not being positive.
They are still reigning Lazio cheering and cheering.
Because they're used to it, that's the way Lazio plays.
Without violating the rules. Is there anything wrong with pursuing victory?
Tony. Donn also gave the latest instructions to the team, telling them to continue defending in the next games and not give Lazio the slightest chance to extend the score.
And so it was in the rest of the game. It ended in such a state of calm and calm.
However, the commentator kept complaining that the two teams were not enterprising, and a goal made Lazio satisfied. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, showed no fighting spirit at all, as if they were happy to lose by just one goal.
Everyone also took the opportunity to hack the defensive football again.
"If this is the case in future football games, I think football will die sooner or later!"
"It's an insult to the Champions League to be playing in the Champions League, the world's highest level of football!"
"If Nottingham Forest are going to qualify from a football group like this, then I don't think they deserve everyone's praise!"
※※※
After the game, Chang Sheng did not go to Tony. Donn shook hands and instead walked over to his players on the field to celebrate with them.
Tony. Naturally, Don didn't have to wait in front of the away team's coach's box, waiting to shake hands with Chang Sheng.
At the moment of the final whistle, he turned and walked first into the players' tunnel.
Fortunately, Chang Sheng didn't take the initiative to shake hands with him, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
Of course, Chang Sheng must know Tony. Don was someone, so he didn't even think of shaking hands with him.
He will not humiliate himself and give the other party a chance to humiliate himself.
It was Lazio's toughest and most unsightly win in the Champions League this season.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you win.
With three points in hand, Lazio, who have nine points, is far ahead.
Chang Sheng had a smile on his face when he celebrated and hugged the players.
He's really a utilitarian......
