Does Palermo really have a chance of beating Lazio on the road?

Actually, there is a chance.

And the chances are not small.

Although Lazio won the Club World Cup in Tokyo, that doesn't tell the story.

Because the form in the Club World Cup has nothing to do with the performance in the league.

Previously, Lazio drew 3-3 with Udinese away from home. Everyone thinks that it is the constant wins and Real Madrid that affect the team.

Lazio's subsequent impressive performance in the Club World Cup proved that the impact of the Real Madrid incident on the team has disappeared.

Because when the Club World Cup was in progress, the matter about Chang Sheng's possible trip to Real Madrid had ended, and Chang Sheng refuted the rumors, and Real Madrid also announced that Juander. Sergio Ramos succeeded as manager.

The iron-clad facts proved that Chang Sheng would not leave Lazio, so Lazio's players were also relieved.

Together, they easily defeated two opponents and lifted the Club World Cup.

That doesn't prove that a return to the league is that Lazio can easily beat Palermo.

Because there is a very important factor in this - physical strength.

Lazio have been on the run since the 16th round of the league, flying across Eurasia twice before playing Palermo, playing against unfamiliar teams in the far Far East.

Chang Sheng said at the press conference that he didn't take Gamba Osaka seriously, in fact, Italian football agrees with him, because the semi-finals of the Club World Cup are inherently chicken ribs and meaningless.

There is no need to take such an opponent seriously, you can win with any kick, but you have to pay the price of flying over the Eurasian continent for such a weak opponent, it is really too worthwhile.

It's still better than the previous Toyota Cup. Just one match, the European champion against the South American champion.

A game is decided, and whoever wins will win the cup, and there is no need to rush over more than a week in advance. No more wasting energy and expressions on meaningless opponents.

As a result, FIFA took over after the Toyota Cup. In order to win over the football associations in those disadvantaged areas, for the sake of their own votes. A whole group of champion teams from all continents were put together to fight fiercely for several days to finally decide a champion.

In the eyes of people in European football, such a game is boring.

Not all continental champions are strong teams...... What are those Africa Cup of Nations, Caribbean Gold Cup, Oceania Cup...... What are the championship teams......

The only ones who really have a place in world football are the champions of Europe and South America.

Now those cats and dogs can enter the house. We played against the champions of Europe and South America.

Every FIFA Club World Cup final is played by a team that competes in the European Championship and the South American Champion, what is the difference between this and the Toyota Cup?

But in order to meet in the final, the two teams will have to play a semi-final first......

Isn't this taking off your pants and farting - is it redundant?

So when Tsunekatsu expressed his disdain for Gamba Osaka, it turned the world upside down in Japan, but the Italian side didn't feel it, and they even recognized and agreed with Tsunekatsu, and Tsunekatsu said what they wanted to say but didn't dare to say.

Tsujitsu disdains Gamba Osaka. In a sense, it's questioning and disdainful of FIFA.

This kind of blatant offense to FIFA can only be done by a dumbfounded person like Chang Sheng.

It is precisely because of the unreasonable design of the Club World Cup schedule that European teams are very dissatisfied.

Because it will greatly reduce the team's fitness. It increases the risk of injury to the players.

It is difficult to say how much stamina Lazio has enough energy to cope with this game after such a long journey.

And it's Christmas soon, and the players' minds are probably not on the pitch, but on how to go on vacation......

These are all favorable conditions for Palermo to beat Lazio away.

So in fact, Palermo is quite confident.

They didn't show it, but internally, they did.

Palermo's head coach Villaldini made his players clear before the game why this was a good chance for them to beat Lazio.

It was because of the Club World Cup that Lazio had exhausted the last of their energy.

“…… As long as we can keep pressing them in the game, they won't be able to organise an effective attack...... Then, when their physical strength is broken, the victory is ours! ”

In the away dressing room at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Ballardini cheers on the Palermo players who have already changed their clothes.

His confidence was contagious to the Palermo players, who stepped onto the Stadio Olimpico in Rome with a strong sense of confidence.

They were expecting a victory.

But from the process to the result, it is not as good as they imagined.

Chang Sheng did make some changes in this game, replacing a number of players who had just played in the Club World Cup final, and leaving them to rest on the bench or in the stands.

And most of the players who played were rotations and substitutes.

But even so, Palermo were not able to beat Lazio on the road.

Not to mention defeating, you can't even draw Lazio!

The final score was 4:0 and Lazio beat Palermo at home!

They were unaffected by the Club World Cup, with the team playing with plenty of energy and sticking to their fast passing style.

The physical prowess of the Lazio players was so impressive that even the commentators could not have imagined.

Of course, they didn't expect that Chang Sheng had a game skill that could slow down physical exertion......

It was used from the beginning of the sixteenth round.

When he went to Tokyo to participate in two matches in the Club World Cup, he didn't take this skill out of the match skill bar either.

After the upgrade of the Running Undead skill, the duration of the action is now shorter, and it is no longer infinitely accumulative, and the validity period is up to five games.

However, the effect of physical slowdown has increased, so it has become a highly used match skill.

When the team is not physically exhausted, it is better to choose this skill than other skills.

Seventeen rounds of league matches are over, and the winter break of Serie A is coming.

Lazio are at the top of the league table by one point.

As the winter break approaches, the media has made a summary of the performance of each team in the first half of the season.

For Lazio, who are now ranked first, the media has shown no mercy.

Conversely, the winning Lazio are the team that has received the most criticism.

This is somewhat surprising - how can there be so much criticism when they are all at the top of the league and have won the Club World Cup?

However, the media did not make horizontal comparisons, but conclusions from vertical comparisons.

"While we often never admit that the summer fire sale turmoil had an impact on the team, the numbers don't lie. In fact, in the first 17 rounds of this season, Lazio won 12 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, ranking first with 40 points. And this result is the first and worst in previous seasons and the same period in the same period! ”

"I usually coach Lazio from the 2005-2006 season, and in the first season of the league played 17 rounds, Lazio achieved 14 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats, ranking first. In the 2006-2007 season, 17 rounds of league battles ended, with 13 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 41 points, ranking first in the league. After 17 rounds of league games in the 2007-2008 season, Lazio won 15 and drew 2, accumulating 47 points and topping the table. ”

"And this season, although Lazio is still at the top of the table, both the winning percentage and the points are the lowest since he took charge of the team. What does this mean? It shows that after the summer has gone too many main players, it has had a big impact on the strength of this team......"

"What does the Club World Cup win mean? The gold content of this kind of chicken rib competition is not as good as the Toyota Cup in the early years...... There is no point in taking more such championships! And showing off in the Club World Cup does not mean that Lazio can beat their opponents in the domestic league and win the championship. These are two different things entirely! ”

'Jose Mourinho was in hot pursuit and had some impact on Lazio as well...... It's only the first 17 rounds of the league. It's hard to say what kind of changes will happen to the league in the second half of the season...... It seems that this season, Lazio's slump and Inter Milan's strong recovery will make this season's league title race very interesting......

"It's still number one, but if Lazio is not careful, they could fall off the top spot. For this team, falling to the first place could mean more, maybe it will have a big impact on their confidence and morale......"

In short, the media is singing about Lazio, and the figures they put together look quite convincing.

It has indeed been one of Lazio's worst seasons.

The win rate is low, the points are less, is there more intuitive data than this?

Isn't the final competition about points?

As a result, the ability to earn points is not as good as before.

Can it not make people worry about their future?

And the sunspots have proof.

The only pity is that it is Mourinho's Inter Milan who competes for the title with Lazio, and it would be nice if it was replaced by Carlo Ancelotti's AC Milan......

Mourinho is really not very likable......

In the end, even if Inter Milan defeated Lazio and became the league champions, it could not make people happy even the slightest.

It's a pity that neither AC Milan nor Juventus, nor Fiorentina or Roma can threaten the status of Lazio and Inter Milan now.

They don't want to sing praises for Lazio, are they willing to sing praises to Inter?

If nothing else, this season's league title should be born between these two teams.

It's a sad future......

So some people sighed: "Serie A is really in decline...... In the past, Serie A was full of flowers, and now Serie A can only let Mourinho and Chang, the two shames of football, easily control it......"
