In the 33rd round of the league, Lazio faced Atalanta at home.

Despite the game against Bayern Munich in three days, Chang Sheng still fielded all the main players he could in this game.

In the end, Lazio defeated Atalanta 1-0 at home, and finally did not lose two in a row.

Inter Milan also won 1-0 away at Napoli.

The two teams are still only three points apart.

Three days later, Lazio went to the Allianz Arena to challenge Bayern Munich.

In this game, Faraoni finally got the opportunity to play for Lazio, and his first appearance was in the semi-finals of the Champions League!

According to the rules, players under the age of 20 who have been with the team for more than two years can be counted as players from the team's youth system, and such players can participate in the Champions League without registration.

So there is no problem with Faranho's qualification for the Champions League.

Rafaoni himself probably didn't expect to be featured in the Champions League so quickly.

However, it was not the right-back that he was good at, but the right centre-back.

He started out at right centre-back in the Academy, but now he's been playing at right-back for a number of years, and although he has a week to train and prepare, he's still a little nervous.

Chang Sheng saw his nervousness before the game, so he comforted him: "Don't be pressured, just take it as a warm-up game, Marco!" ”

In fact, Chang Sheng was also helpless, but fortunately he learned that Faraoni had played at right central defender, otherwise he really didn't know how to arrange his troops.

Gotze has made one league appearance and is still very little fit. Such a state is obviously not able to participate in the Champions League.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't perform well, I'm afraid that playing this intense game in a physical situation will lead to injury.

My current team is really "unaffordable" now......

※※※

With such a line-up, you can imagine what they will encounter at the Allianz Arena......

Lazio ended up losing 1-3 away to Bayern Munich.

Handanovic received his third yellow card of the season in the Champions League and was suspended under the yellow card rules. He's automatically suspended for one game.

This is really worse for Lazio, who has been short of major generals since they came......

And the defeat in this game also made people lose confidence that Lazio can still advance to the final.

It was in this context that Lazio ushered in one of the most important matches of the league, the third in the fourth round, and they challenged Inter Milan away!

Why didn't Win keep Gotze in the Champions League? On the one hand, it was because Gotze's physical fitness was not very good, and on the other hand, it was naturally for Gotze to play in the game against Inter Milan.

Fortunately, the suspension in the Champions League will not affect the league.

Therefore, Lazio can also put out a strong enough squad in the league.

Otherwise, it's hard to say......

In the last game against Bayern Munich, Barzaretti did not start, not because he was worried that he would receive another yellow card and be automatically suspended or anything.

It's because Lazio will next challenge Inter Milan away. Compared to the Champions League semi-finals, this game is more important.

So Chang Win stayed in the Champions League semi-finals.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the first-team squad was already stretched, Chang Sheng would have sent a replacement substitute to play.

Just after a large number of main players were injured. It's hard to distinguish between the main and the substitute.

Before the game against Bayern Munich, seven players were not able to go to Munich, including injuries and suspensions.

The first-team squad coming to Lazio is small, with only 21 first-team players in the season after the purge. Recently, there are only twenty-two people counting Faranho.

As a result, there are seven fewer people...... Fifteen people remained...... Chang Sheng can't even make up a squad of eighteen people!

So when Lazio lost away to Bayern Munich and was kicked out of the final, there was little media mockery of Lazio's results.

With such a remnant formation, it is normal to meet the powerful Bayern Munich and lose the game.

Chang Sheng himself is also very clear. So he gave up the Champions League.

※※※

It's difficult to play Inter Milan away and there's one statistic that shows why it's difficult.

Thirty-three rounds of the league have been played, and Inter Milan have played sixteen home games.

In these sixteen home stadiums. Inter Milan won 11 and drew 5, with zero losses!

They haven't lost on their home turf yet!

There is also a record that is very favorable for Inter Milan, or rather an advantage.

That is, their manager Jose Mourinho, who is very good at leading the team to play at home, whether it is the league or the Champions League. Especially the league.

It is important to know that Mourinho's team has been in the league since February 23, 2002. Since Porto's 3-2 defeat at home to Bellama, his side have never lost at home in the league again.

At Porto, they were unbeaten at home in 38 league games, winning 36 and drawing two, including an astonishing 33 consecutive home league wins.

Chelsea are unbeaten at home in 60 league games, with 46 wins and 14 draws.

In his first season at Inter Milan, he is currently unbeaten in 16 home games!

Combined, 114 league games unbeaten at home!

Such an achievement can be regarded as unprecedented, and there is no one to come.

Even Chang Sheng is not as good as the Portuguese in this regard.

Jose Mourinho seems to know exactly how to ensure that his side wins at home.

He's like a priest who can unleash buffs on his team's home turf to boost their combat power and make them fearless.

Not only in the league, but also in the Champions League, Mourinho's team has a high home win rate. He has managed three teams in the Champions League and has only lost three home games so far.

With such a manager who is good at playing at home, coupled with Lazio's recent injury and fatigue, it is natural that everyone is not optimistic about Lazio.

Even many Lazio fans think that if they can draw with Inter Milan away, it will be considered a victory.

There are still three points left between the two sides, and with only four rounds left in the league, as long as Lazio keeps winning. You can win the championship one round earlier.

Lazio's extreme fan group "Unteachables" is a leader in this view, and in their radio program "Voices of the North Stand", they analyzed that Chang Sheng should choose conservative tactics away from home and strive for a draw, rather than attacking against Inter Milan, in that case, Lazio will definitely die a miserable death!

※※※

Unlike previous matches, Chang Sheng did not wait until two hours before the start of the game to submit his starting lineup, but announced the starting lineup at the pre-match press conference the day before the game.

Facing reporters, he took the initiative to throw out his list.

"Tomorrow's game? Handanovic will definitely start. There's no suspense in this? Jose Passarera, Giorgio Chiellini, Barzaretti, Cesaric Azpilicueta, Motta, Ledesma, Candreva, Gotze, Cazorla and Cavani will also start. ”

He reported the starting lineup in one go.

Then everyone found out that Lazio still had an attacking lineup of 433 in this game!

And Motta and Gotze also start!

What does this mean?

This shows that Chang Sheng did not think about choosing conservative tactics at the Meazza Stadium and striving for a draw.

And Chang Sheng then talked about this issue as well.

'What Lazio do best is attacking and we're going to stick to our style. As for what others think. That's not about us. ”

A reporter from the newspaper Roma Sport asked: "But only if the victory is guaranteed." ”

Chang Sheng asked him rhetorically, "How do you know that we can't win?" ”

The Roma reporter said-for-tat: "Inter Milan has not lost one of 16 home games this season, and Mourinho is even more ......"

Chang Sheng unceremoniously interrupted him.

"Yes, yes, I know it, it's nothing more than a 114-game unbeaten league game. But so what? He shrugged and spread his hands. Rhetorically asked the Roman journalist. "Haven't you heard? The so-called record is what people break. What I do best is break records! ”

Journalists smelled gunpowder from it.

It seems that in this game, Chang Win really doesn't plan to keep a draw!

So ...... It's going to be a lot more exciting!

As for who wins or loses between the two teams, they don't care much about it.

Anyway, whether it's Chang Win or Mourinho, they hate it. In the end, it was to win the championship, and they didn't like it.

They just want the two dogs to be dog-eat-dog, as for the champion. Anyway, AC Milan, who are third in the league, are too far behind them, and it is estimated that there will be no play.

※※※

What Chang Sheng said in his pre-match press conference was quickly relayed to Mourinho through reporters.

Jose Mourinho was calm about it.

"I think he often gets one thing wrong, and it's not a record to be unbeaten in more than 100 consecutive home games. I've never seen this as a great record. That's the result. It shows how powerful we are at home. That's all. If he wants to beat Inter Milan at home, he will probably have to give it his all. Then pray for plenty of good luck. ”

Mourinho, who was sitting on the podium, pouted and said with a look of disdain. In the last leg, his side beat Lazio in the last minute on the road, a breath that Mourinho can't swallow until now. This time, it's a great opportunity for revenge!

This is the "dog eat dog" show that the Italian media like to watch the most.

They are constantly playing right and wrong between the two people, stirring up war between the two people.

Of course, in fact, they don't have to work so hard, these two people are natural rivals, and they don't need to provoke each other to look good.

In doing so, it seems that Italian journalists are a bunch of villains......

That evening, Italian television was watching the pre-match press conference for the match. Chang Sheng and Mourinho's words at the press conference were repeatedly analyzed by them, hoping to understand the hole cards and strategies of the two managers.

This is what sports programs on Italian television like to do.

After analyzing and analyzing, they unanimously believe that Inter Milan, playing at home, has more advantages, and there are quite a lot of advantages......

"If Lazio chooses to defend, there is still a chance to survive at the Meazza Stadium. But now I often insist on attacking ......," one expert pouted and shook his head during the camera. "He's killing himself!"
