Chapter 42: Is it a shame to lose to the first place in the league?

Judging from the past historical record, Lazio vs. AC Milan can be regarded as an undoubted strong conversation.

But if you only look at the current situation, it is not a strong dialogue.

Because AC Milan's performance this season has been so bad.

After nine rounds of league play, AC Milan is now ranked 10th, which is a shame for a team that won the European Championship two seasons ago!

They have won just three of their nine league games, drawn two and lost four.

Compared to Lazio's seven wins, one draw and one loss, it is far behind.

The high-profile power-up conversation kicked off on Saturday afternoon.

Lazio travel to AC Milan.

※※※

AC Milan's current manager is their former legendary goalscorer Inzaghi.

Inzaghi became a coach after retiring as a player, then coached at AC Milan's academy.

There he worked for four years.

He was later transferred to the first team and became an assistant to the manager of the first team at the time.

Finally, two seasons ago, his head coach Luciano Spalletti led AC Milan to the European Championship before retiring.

That's how Inzaghi came up.

But he's also unlucky.

Coming to the stage when AC Milan had just won the title, there was a lot of pressure and a lot of attention.

But AC Milan began to go downhill with a natural pattern.

No matter how good a manager is, it's okay.

Because this is the natural law of a team, after winning the championship honor, most of the players will lose their fighting spirit and motivation to continue fighting.

In this case, they think more about winning the game not on the pitch, but about the contract, annual salary, and a few other things.

The players are out of steam, so what can Inzaghi do?

He could only exchange blood. The change of blood will inevitably bring about a decline in the strength of the team.

He is not a frequent winner, and he can still ensure the strength of the team in the process of changing blood.

So AC Milan doesn't have any top players who can handle it now.

Some people joke that the previous AC Milan was a bald ** silk leading a group of handsome and rich games, and now AC Milan is a handsome and rich coach leading a ** silk team.

In the face of the aggressive Lazio, Inzaghi's AC Milan actually has nothing too good to do.

He opted for a defensive counter-attack.

Defend yourself and try not to concede the ball first and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

At the peak of Lazio, many teams were able to do this when facing Lazio.

Of course, there are a lot of teams with courage against Lazio. will choose to use offense to show their style of football.

In the end, they will all die a terrible death.

Inzaghi is very clear when he plays, otherwise he would not have been able to grab a point.

As a manager, he inherited this advantage.

In the face of Lazio, he did not rashly choose to attack. Although usually his team is mainly attacking cards.

He still honestly chose to defend and counterattack.

※※※

After the start of the game, although it was an away game, Lazio launched a fierce offensive from the beginning of the game.

Constantly attacking the AC Milan backline.

AC Milan, on the other hand, were confined to their own half, occasionally playing counter-attacks.

Some commentators were dissatisfied with this reaction of AC Milan and criticized it.

"It looks like it's more like Lazio's home ......"

They scoffed.

Inzaghi naturally couldn't hear the narrator's sarcasm, but even if he did, it didn't matter.

There is nothing more important than victory......

If the scene is ugly, let's be ugly. It's better than losing in the end, and the face is ugly.

※※※

Inzaghi was right, but the quality of this AC Milan team is too different now.

This AC Milan team does not even have a single top star in world football at the moment.

A little level is either old or gone.

Everyone else is a bunch of raw melons and eggs.

Many of them were promoted by Inzaghi from the academy where he once coached.

How can such a team compete with Lazio?

So the game went on for twenty minutes. They lost the goal.

Edinson Cavani opened the scoring for Lazio with a header!

"Cavani! Nice header! With this header of his, Lazio took a 1-0 lead away from AC Milan! Remember the first goal Cavani scored when he came to Lazio, that is, against AC Milan, it was a wonderful cycle! ”

After the goal, Cavani rushed straight back to the dugout. And then hugged Chang Sheng.

He also remembers his first league goal for Lazio, against AC Milan.

He was under a lot of pressure at the time. It was only thanks to this ball that he was liberated.

Of course, before the game, the disc that the boss showed him also played a very important role.

For a long time, he always thought that the Italian gold medal commentator at the time, Fabio. That's how Caresa really praised himself in the game.

Later, after a long time, he learned that it was a fake, and that the disc had been commissioned by the boss to be made by Caressa, and that it was just a white lie.

He was deceived, but he was not angry.

On the contrary, he was more grateful to the boss.

That's why he wants to stay at Lazio for more than a decade.

He is willing to go to great lengths for such a boss, and as long as the boss needs him, he will never leave Lazio.

Now, with Icardi injured, he has taken on the responsibility of the team's attack, not only scoring goals, but also being a fulcrum for the team's attack. As a center forward, if you can't hold the ball in the front court, then the rest of your teammates won't dare to press it boldly.

And he did a great job.

Even if he didn't score, he always supported him, not only because of the emotional factor, but also because his performance was really good.

As a centre-forward, sometimes it doesn't mean that you don't score a goal and you perform badly.

Cavani's feelings for Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng's trust in Cavani. has achieved a football story for more than ten years.

※※※

After Edinson Cavani's goal, the game was much easier for Lazio.

Because the game went into a Lazio rhythm.

AC Milan, which is based on defensive counterattacks, can only press out and attack.

This is their home stadium, and in any case, AC Milan are also a big club, having only won the Champions League two seasons ago, and the expectations for this team are still high.

The team's results have not been satisfactory this season, and Inzaghi has felt a lot of pressure.

If you lose the game on your home turf because of a well-packed defensive counter-attack. Then the fans are probably even angrier, right?

So even if he knows that he is defeated, Inzaghi must attack hard-headed at this time.

If the strategy of defensive counterattack fails, then pursue a banging defeat.

Chang Sheng is not the kind of person who will pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

He will not let the water out with respect because of the courage shown by AC Milan.

He'll just be overjoyed - and since you're so cooperative, I'm welcome!

So in the rest of the game. Lazio scored two more goals in total.

AC Milan's attack did pay off, as they scored a goal.

In the end, the score of the game was 3-1, and Lazio, who were playing away, beat AC Milan to get their one win and remain at the top of the table.

At the post-match press conference, Inzaghi was bombarded by the media as a loser. Reporters asked him if he would be too conservative in choosing to defend and counterattack at his home stadium, and whether it was because of this conservative mentality that AC Milan lost the game.

Inzaghi naturally does not admit this. He said that he lost the game only because the difference in strength between the two sides was too big.

'We did everything we could, but we still lost. Because the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, and that's football. Sometimes the difference in strength is too big for you to control. ”

Naturally, Inzaghi's attitude did not satisfy the journalists.

But after the victory came. also spoke for Inzaghi, which many reporters did not expect.

With a stinky temper that always wins. It's so rare that he can speak for his opponent.

"AC Milan conservative? No, I don't see it, they actually chose the right thing to do - I mean before they conceded the first goal. But it's a pity that we are better than AC Milan, and as a manager, there is no way to do it. For those who think AC Milan could have been a little more positive, the match after AC Milan conceded a goal is the answer for you. Also, of course I hope that AC Milan will attack us from the first minute of the game and then we will not just score three goals in this game......

The reporters who spoke of Chang Sheng's words were speechless.

It's a roundabout way to slap them in the face......

※※※

After the game, it was reported in the Italian media that Inzaghi would be sacked for losing this game against Lazio.

Chang Sheng was amused when he heard this, and he left a message on his personal website mocking the self-righteous journalists: "When will losing to Lazio become the criterion for dismissal?" Isn't it normal to lose to Lazio? If you lose to Lazio and are to be dismissed, then all teams in Serie A must have at least three managers every season, right? If Inzaghi is dismissed, it must have nothing to do with this game. Don't talk about how unexpected it was as if Lazio had won against AC Milan! Is it a shame to be beaten by the team that is at the top of the league?! ”

Chang Sheng's speech was quickly relayed all over the online world.

Everyone said that Chang Sheng said it well, and Chang Sheng scolded wonderfully! I can't get used to the group of grandsons of reporters for a long time!

This was followed by a statement from AC Milan refuting rumours in the media that Inzaghi would be sacked.

“…… We have a lot of trust in Mr. Inzaghi's work and we will not sack him because of the defeat in this game......"

Fortunately, the heads of the AC Milan club are still clear-headed.

But maybe that's what they're thinking about - with the virtue of AC Milan, who can be better to coach with Inzaghi?

ps: I found that the monthly pass has not been able to go up, there is no way, I can only open a big move......

Today's six watches!

Tomorrow...... Ten more!

I let it go and blew up what little manuscript I had left!

For the sake of my hard work, let's give me a monthly pass!

Can we still get back to the top 10 of the monthly pass list this month?
