Chapter 397: Forcing the Fast Pass

Careza was right, and it is not possible to tell from Lazio's starting line-up whether they gave up on this game.

For the average team, this trick applies. Generally, a team will have two sets of lineups, one is the strongest main lineup, and the other is a weaker substitute lineup.

Almost all of the team's main line-ups and substitute line-ups are clearly defined. Many people have sharpened their heads and want to go to the main lineup.

That's intra-team competition.

But there is no such thing in Lazio.

Lazio have implemented a very thorough rotation, and with the 20-odd players in the first team relatively close, it's hard to say who can play the main team and who can play on the bench.

The lineup that is always won is not divided into strong and weak, and some of the players in this lineup that everyone thinks are strong are not there, but some other players who are also recognized as strong are still there.

Therefore, it is not possible to judge and analyze whether Lazio is serious about this game simply from the squad list.

For example, the current game against Juventus.

Barzaretti and Cesar Azpilicueta did not start, replaced by Coentrão and Falaoni, and in midfield Ballack and Luka Modric also did not start, replaced by Meireles and Hernanes, with centre-forward Rocchi replacing Klose.

There were five people in the rotation, but in the remaining positions Lazio also had David. Silva, Gotze and Jose. Passarella, Chiellini, and Ledesma, goalkeeper Handanovic were also not rotated.

Would someone say that such a lineup is weak against Juventus?

It will be up to Lazio to see if they really give up on this game, depending on how they perform in the game......

As a result, as soon as the game began, Lazio launched a fierce attack on the Juventus goal.

It's their home stadium and there's certainly no reason to shrink the defence.

And Lazio have a fast pace in attack.

This rhythm was obvious to everyone - Lazio had absolutely no intention of giving up this game!

"Lazio are going to beat Juventus in the league! Perhaps in their eyes, winning the league is more important than defending the Champions League! A commentator said.

"Chang must be crazy, who is more important in the Champions League or the league, this discerning person can see at a glance, I don't know what else to hesitate and dispute......"

"Do you give it your all to play Juventus and then lose badly away to Manchester United?"

Everyone was incomprehensible about Lazio's arrangement.

Of course, there is also the possibility that his side can tackle Juventus in the league and Manchester United in the Champions League semi-finals. But...... Is this possible? You must know that these two teams are not hard bones to gnaw on...... They all have the belief and the reason to win. If both wins are wanted, there is a good chance that both won't be won at all. ”

The commentator is right, and the constant win is indeed a win in both games.

However, he thinks that Lazio may be empty, so that may not be the case......

※※※

Juventus started the game with the belief that they would fight Lazio, and they were quite rude in the game, making several flying tackles, which drew boos from the Lazio balls in the stands.

And the referee had to blow the whistle frequently to stop the game and warn the Juventus players.

However, fifteen minutes of play passed, and no Juventus player had received a yellow card for a foul.

Overall, the referee was gentle today.

Of course, he is a gentle referee in his own right, and he has a very low percentage of cards in Serie A.

If you have won in the past, you will definitely be entangled in this during and after the game, grasp this matter and make a big fuss.

But now, when the referee did not issue a yellow card, Chang Sheng sat in the chair of the coach's seat and did not react at all.

It looked as if it was someone who had nothing to do with him.

Of course, this is not because it has nothing to do with him, but Chang Sheng knows that after beating Juventus, this kind of thing is not a thing.

He is too lazy to quarrel with the other party, as long as he can beat Juventus, then he is the winner, and the winner does not care about the mood of the loser.

Juventus moved aggressively, thinking that this would contain Lazio's attack.

That's naïve!

Chang Sheng fully considered this before the game, so the whole team made corresponding countermeasures.

Naturally, he will not let his players be tackled by the opponent at will.

To deal with Juventus' fouls, it is necessary to make the football stay at your feet as little as possible.

Juventus fouls are meaningless when the football is not at their feet, and the fouls on players off the ball are very serious, so it is not a verbal warning that can be solved.

I believe that the players of Juventus do not dare to do this, and will try to avoid it.

And if they don't get a break or a foul, it will be a danger to their own defence, so when Juventus find that their tackle speed can't keep up with Lazio's passing speed, they may be able to throw a mouse.

Therefore, as long as the speed is increased, Juventus's foul tactics are useless.

The so-called martial arts in the world are only fast and not broken, as long as the speed is fast, it is almost invincible in the world.

From the very beginning of the game, Lazio was picking up the pace, accelerating.

Juventus' players did initially use foul tactics to block Lazio's advance.

But it soon became clear that they had a problem.

※※※

When the ball was passed to Ledesma, he didn't stop the ball or turn around, but knocked the ball back to Mereles.

Seeing that the football was spread immediately by Ledesma, Marchisio, a Juventus player who had planned to come up and force him, immediately changed his mind and did not step forward, but retreated to his position.

What he was afraid of was that if he came up to press, he didn't grab the football, but instead formed a gap behind him, and was caught by Lazio...... You know, Lazio's ability to take chances is quite strong.

Their head coach Del Neri had repeatedly stressed to them before the game that Lazio could never be given the opportunity to do so.

If you want to beat Lazio, you must first make sure that you don't concede a goal in the game.

Once you concede the ball first, then it's all over.

If you don't concede a goal, even if you can't score a goal, this game can still get a draw.

Once you lose the ball, it's a loss!

Anyway, another teammate was responsible for the ball that Lazio passed.

Seeing the football passing towards Meireles, sure enough, another Juventus player immediately rushed forward, intending to break the ball or interfere with Meireles.

With his speed, he can almost get to Merreles with the football, so as long as Merreles stops the ball or adjusts a little, he will be stuck by the opponent. When the time comes, it will be difficult to get rid of or pass the ball.

So Merreles couldn't stop the ball.

Meireles didn't stop the ball, he still kicked the ball!

※※※

In this way, Lazio kicked the ball one after the other.

The soccer ball spun rapidly at their feet.

Juventus, on the other hand, did not give up their tactical strategy because of this, and they still pressed Lazio's players.

Whenever possible, they never give up on grabbing.

In fact, Del Neri had somewhat guessed that Lazio would do this.

Because they have used one move against other teams that are pressing them before.

Since everyone is studying Lazio now, it is natural to study it thoroughly, and this past experience has long been rotten by everyone.

There's no way Delneri didn't know that.

He also asked Juventus to press like this, because it would force Lazio to continue with this quick pass.

He analysed the footage of Lazio's match and found that Lazio's success rate of such a quick one-kick pass was not high.

It's too difficult to do that.

As long as they can keep Lazio under pressure, they will make mistakes in such long-term, quick passes.

If you make a mistake, you will be caught by Juventus.

Then the opportunity for Juventus presented itself!

Del Neri was right, Lazio's players couldn't keep up with that kind of quick passing rhythm for long.

So they also made a lot of mistakes in the game.

And these mistakes were indeed exploited by Juventus.

There were also a couple of times when he threatened Handanovic's goal.

Lazio didn't try to slow down either, though.

With Juventus' pressing style, the chances of slowing down and dying are higher.

Therefore, Chang Sheng would rather bear such a mistake, but also let the speed always be in a very high state.

※※※

One side pressed the defense, but there was no guarantee to stop Lazio's attack.

The other side's successive passes were pleasing to watch, but there were also a number of mistakes that added risk to the goal.

In this game, the two sides were so-for-tat, attacking and defending each other, and the fight was very intense.

As a neutral fan, this game is very cool to watch.

Because the game is not one-sided, there is a chance on either side.

And the pace of the game is fast, whether it is Lazio or Juventus.

Not to mention Lazio's quick one-kick pass, Juventus chose to counterattack quickly in attack, as long as they could cut off Lazio's ball, then immediately launched a quick counterattack.

The two sides go back and forth, and the transition between offense and defense is very fast.

So neutral fans will be addicted to watching.

But that's not a good thing for Lazio fans.

Lazio have a huge advantage in the league, and they rarely encounter such a close situation.

So Lazio fans are used to Lazio pressing each other and then winning the game with ease.

Now this kind of competition has made them feel the "nervousness" they have not experienced in a long time, and they don't like this feeling at all.

It's just that they also know that the current situation is not very favorable for Lazio, so it is normal for such a situation to occur.

Juventus appear to be well-prepared and menacing, and they seem to be in good shape, with no sign of exhaustion in sight......

Many Lazio fans frowned in the stands.

They were worried about Lazio.

Will Lazio be able to break through the blockade of Juventus and Manchester United this time?
