Chapter 411: A New Record
Chang Sheng is not much like a mad dog chasing the media now. He used to slap the media in the face with a victory after the game.
So the impression is that his temper has changed for the better.
Actually, it's not like this, he's just a different way to slap his face......
No matter how the Catalan media criticized him for his arrogance, he just didn't hear it.
The team's training was a day long and they didn't dare to relax.
Next up is the away game against Udinese, which has a special meaning for Lazio as they will equalling their Serie A single-season goal record set last season if they can score a goal in the game.
If we can score two goals, we will set a new record.
This is a more interesting point to watch than the outcome of the game.
Of course, the entire Udinese squad also said before the game that they would unite and would not let Lazio break the record against them.
ββ¦β¦ I don't know if you've noticed that the Udinese players said in interviews that they won't let Lazio 'break' the record on them...... What does this mean? If Lazio equals the record, they don't care...... It seems that Udinese are ready to lose......"
In a pre-match show, the host said that he wasn't satirizing Udinese or anything.
Because losing to Lazio is no longer an incredible thing, even on their home turf.
If you want to beat Lazio, or draw with Lazio, at the level of Udinese. It's too hard. So no one expects them to do it.
In fact, after a four-goal home win over Utus, no one believes that there is anyone else in Serie A who can prevent them from winning.
With three rounds remaining, Lazio's opponents are Udinese, Genoa and Lecce.
With the quality of these three teams, it will be difficult to beat Lazio. It's hard to even keep the peace.
If nothing else, Lazio will end the season with a complete victory.
Not only in Italy, but all over Europe is being discussed in the media.
This is something that has never happened in international football, where a team wins all of its games in a season!
It's not just leagues. They have also won both Champions League and domestic cup competitions, without even a draw.
Such a good performance shocked the world of football.
The media around the world is reporting, but they all share the same concern.
That is, "Who can stop Lazio?" β
If you have to find a team that can beat Lazio - mind you, only possible - it is possible, I am afraid that Barcelona will only be left in the Champions League final.
However, while this is possible, it may also be a little too low.
Lazio's momentum this season is completely unstoppable.
In Europe, if Lazio really have any opponents of enough weight. Then Barcelona must be number one.
These two teams are of the same origin. The style is similar. And they all know each other well enough.
However, in the semifinals of the Champions League last season, Barcelona was blown out of two legs by Lazio, which still made many people a little worried.
Anyway, if Barcelona can't stop Lazio. Then in today's football, there is no possibility for anyone to beat them.

Before the match against Udinese. Chang Sheng is very low-key, and Lazio is also low-key.
Chang Sheng neither announced that they were going to break the record, nor did he make any remarks that would anger Udinese.
The game, which was followed by the media, began in a very calm atmosphere.
If it weren't for the media hyping up the game before the game, I'm afraid no one would have known why the media paid so much attention to the game.
Against Udinese, the home team did play a very tenacious defense from the start of the game.
They are still playing a high defensive pitch β and after a season of promotion, it has now become a model for defending control teams like Lazio and Barcelona.
However, in the face of such Udinese, Lazio did not use their fast passing tactics, but directly played a long pass and rushed to hang.
This tactic, first seen against Manchester United, was repeated against Udinese in a very short period of time.
Facing a team that can play long passes, Udinese is also very helpless.
It's not that they didn't think that Lazio would do that if they pressed high.
Manchester United have a lesson ahead of them, and they are not fools.
But they know that it doesn't mean they have a choice.
They have been preparing to defend high posts for a long time in order to deal with Lazio.
How do they feel now that they suddenly find out that Lazio will have another way to break the high post?
Even if they want to, they don't have time to let them change it!
They don't win often, and with the help of cheats, they can learn new tactics in a week......
So they continued to defend high and reassure themselves that the long ball they used in the last game against Manchester United was just an accident, and it was not a tactic they had practiced.
As the game progressed, the Udinese players soon discovered how naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve their previous ideas were.
The long pass is definitely not something that Lazio did by chance, but rather a result of their rigorous training.
In the 21st minute, Lazio broke the Udinese goal with a long pass.
"The one hundred and eighth ball! Lazio equalled their own record! Now the suspense is when they will break the record! β
The commentator, Fabio Caresza, didn't pay attention to Udinese at all.
In fact, Lazio did not take Udinese seriously at all......
After they took the lead, they played more and more relaxed.
And they're no longer just long passes.
Of course, this has to do with Udinese's abandonment of high defence.
Lazio are now playing more flexibly.
Sometimes they make long passes, sometimes they infiltrate with short passes, and sometimes they fly with both wings. From time to time, the middle lane is two over one and hits the wall and makes a strong breakthrough......
All sorts of attacking routines, they all showed in this game.
In particular, their multi-core tactics were brought into full play.
When Lazio players pass the ball at will on the pitch, they can pass whatever they want. The players of Udinese, on the other hand, are like a swarm of headless flies, and they will only run blindly.
Commentators and commentators continue to be amazed: "Look at Lazio's tactical ......"
"You look at the Lazio players in relation to each other's movements and positions......
"Let's see Lazio's passing ideas......"
"Hey, there's a gap there. Beautiful, passed on! β
"It's amazing! Three passes and two downs, the ball that came was not a chance, but they all created opportunities! β
β¦β¦
Watching Lazio's game, the basis is to listen to the commentator tout Lazio's awesomeness in different tricks.

When Lazio play football like this, can you still expect any suspense in the outcome of this game?
In the 33rd minute, Lazio scored their record-breaking goal.
The one who scored the goal was Klose!
"Klose - the one hundred and ninth goal! Lazio broke their own record for goals scored in Serie A in a single season! This is a historic moment! Terrific! β
"It's coming! It's finally here! It's time to break the old record and set a new record! Klose! He scored a goal for Lazio that will go down in history......"
The guest next to him immediately interrupted the commentator's excited shout: "Don't worry, maybe we will have to prepare the same rhetoric this time next year......
The narrator was stunned for a moment. Then he laughed: "That's right! A year ago. When everyone was surprised that Lazio had scored one hundred and eight goals in a single season. I'm afraid no one would have thought that just one year later, they would save themselves to break this record...... This Lazio is really unexpected! β
"I have a hunch. Maybe there will be many things that we don't expect in the future......" the guest finally added.

Klose's goal set a new all-time record, and Klose was excited. He was also shown a yellow card by the referee for stripping to celebrate.
But that didn't affect his mood in the slightest.
Even when the Germans received a yellow card, they still had a smile on their faces.
In his first season at Lazio, he was able to perform so well, Klose himself did not expect it.
He now feels that he has made the right choice in his life to come to Lazio.
Also thinking like him was Barak.
Both German veterans are enjoying the second spring of their careers in Lazio. If this momentum continues, they will have no problem participating in the European Championships in a year's time, and even if they think a little further, the World Cup in Brazil is still beckoning to them......
If you think about it, the magic of Lazio is probably not just how many records they can break and how many records they can set. What's more, there are many people in Lazio who can play well and change the trajectory of their own lives.
Lazio is famous for this, and in the circle of agents, it is said that many players now want to enter Lazio with their heads sharpened.
Even if they are really criticized by the media for hugging their thighs, they don't care anymore.
Look at the performance of Klose and Ballack, if they can hug their thighs to this extent, then they are really willing to hug their thighs!
It's a pity that although Lazio will make you play better in the near future, this place is not so easy to ask for. This is completely controlled by Chang Sheng, who said that whoever his team needs, then who will smoke from the ancestral grave.
It's all a passive waiting process.
It is not without agents who have gone up the upper echelons and built a good relationship with Lazio club president Lotito and general manager Tare.
But when it came to the team's recruitment, both of them shook their heads.
"This can't be, that's a normal affair, and I will never interfere."
Both men were surprisingly unanimous in their answers.
It can be seen how exaggerated the status of Changsheng in Lazio is......
