Chapter 342: Changed

Lazio beat Genoa 3-0 in the Coppa Italia to reach the quarter-finals. ※※

After the game, David. Silva was the focus of media coverage.

Because of his outstanding performance in the game, he is linked to the injustice he suffered at the Ballon d'Or ceremony.

He's a Spanish player, but the media in Spain and Italy are fighting for him.

They continue to mock FIFA's black box operations and amateurism.

And FIFA is no longer in a position to say anything about this issue, they can only remain silent. With their status, it is also really difficult for them to say anything.

Do you admit that you really did a fake?

No kidding.

A fool would do that!

The main reason is that when they decided to do this before, they didn't think that they would meet a stunned head coach, in order to get justice for their players, they actually ran to the award ceremony and spoke wildly, and when they were interviewed by reporters, they also nakedly criticized FIFA......

When they bumped into them, they didn't have much to say, so they could only pretend to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

They believe that after a while, this rumor will pass, and Lazio will naturally die down.

It's just that when Platini really starts to work on the UEFA Ballon d'Or, they are still very unhappy.

※※※

After the Coppa Italia against Genoa, the next Coppa Italia quarter-final is on 26 January, when Lazio draw Napoli and they will play away from home.

Before that, Lazio need to play three league games, one of which is a make-up match.

Round 20 of the league. Lazio's opponent is Sampdoria.

In the end, Lazio won 1-0 at home to make it their eighteenth consecutive win of the season.

And when Lazio was soaring in the league, the Chinese national team also performed very well.

In the third round of the group stage, Gao Hongbo's Chinese national team played a tacit game with Uzbekistan.

The two sides played to a 0:0 draw.

The Chinese team beat the host Qatar. Advance to the group stage!

Chang Sheng is very happy, he really did it, this is against the sky, he has not only changed himself. He also changed the Chinese team!

※※※

Both sides looked like they were fighting hard in the game, but the strikers wasted a lot of chances.

So no one scored.

So even though Qatar beat Kuwait 5-0 in the other game, it didn't make sense.

After the game, Chang Sheng burst into tears: when can Chinese football also rely on making balls to beat the West Asian team, or the host has made a game!

He believes that Gao Hongbo will definitely not be in contact with Uzbekistan in this game, because this must be a tacit understanding and consensus - the host must not be allowed to enter the knockout round, and then it will be over. Once the hosts make it to the knockout rounds, it will be at least the semi-finals, leaving only three teams in the top four. The host is the most annoying.

Based on this common understanding. The Chinese national team played a tacit game with Uzbekistan.

But because there is no connection. Whether it's over the phone or in person. There is nothing, so there is no need to be afraid of the AFC investigation.

Qatar must be angry now, but they can't express it.

Because of their anger expressed words. It would seem very unreasonable - whoever stipulates that the host must enter the knockout round, if not. That's the match-fixing black whistle, there's an insider.

Uzbekistan have already qualified early, and there is really no reason for them to continue to give it their all, they have to think about the knockout stage of the game, and it is normal for more than half of the main players to be hidden.

Although the Chinese team worked very hard and worked hard, the striker did not bring shooting boots today, and the shooting condition was not good, resulting in repeated wasted opportunities and not being able to score, which is quite normal - Gao Hongbo's Chinese national team does have such a problem, that is, the front is weak.

There is nothing wrong with such a result and process, if you want to make trouble in Qatar, it is unreasonable.

So Qatar can only slander in its heart, and it can't even complain in the media.

Because if they say it, it will also leave people with a handle.

That's why Chang Sheng burst into tears.

In the past, Chinese football was very amateurish even if it was match-fixing, and it was completely impossible to play West Asians.

Now we can also play such a high level of "match-fixing...... What a step forward!

The Chinese team and Uzbekistan jointly eliminated Qatar, and there was no host in the quarterfinals, and the pressure on the other teams was light.

Because no one wants to meet the host in the knockout round, and whoever meets is unlucky.

Now that the hosts are out of the way, they can finally play a normal game.

For Gao Hongbo, the Chinese team's qualification for the group stage can be regarded as the completion of the basic goal.

With this achievement, he thinks that Gao Hongbo's position should be stable.

At the very least, whether it is Wanda or the Chinese Football Association, there will be no reason to dismiss Gao Hongbo.

For the current Chinese national team, what counts as a successful pass? That's qualifying for the group stage.

It is completely unrealistic to expect the Chinese team to win the championship, but qualifying from the group should be very important in the minds of many people.

Although not at all, the fans and the media don't care so much.

The level of Chinese football has long been out of the flow of Asia, but many people's impression of Chinese football is still in the early nineties of the last century, and they think that the Chinese team should have no problem qualifying for the group stage of the Asian Cup anyway.

As everyone knows, with the strength of the Chinese team, firecrackers should be set off to celebrate when the group qualifies.

Do you still fantasize that Chinese football is at the forefront of Asia?

Twenty years ago, the old yellow calendar.

The last time China qualified for the Asian Cup was in 2004 at home, when the Chinese team was the host, not only qualified from the group, but also made it all the way to the final, but lost to Japan. Defeated by a handball from the Japanese team.

Later, in the 2007 Asian Cup, under the leadership of Zhu Guanghu, the group failed to qualify and was eliminated.

If it weren't for the help of constant victory this time. If the normal trajectory develops, the Chinese team should also stop at the group stage.

This is the true level of Chinese football.

※※※

On January 20, there will be a supplementary round of the league for Lazio's 16th round of the league.

That match was postponed because Lazio was on their way to the Club World Cup.

But in fact, it is the same whether this game is made up or not. Lazio were also nine points ahead of second place anyway.

Although the sixteenth round of the league is Juventus hosts Lazio.

But this season's Juventus performance is really bad, and they are not worthy of the title of "strong team" at all, and their match with Lazio is naturally not a "strong conversation" and "focus battle".

Juventus' manager this season is Del Neri.

Del Neri was favored by the Juventus management because of his outstanding performance in leading Sampdo last season, and eventually became the head coach of Juventus.

But the appointment did not bring good luck to the Bianconeri.

Del Neri's Juventus had an excellent first half of the season, with eight wins, seven draws and two defeats before the winter break, and they are fourth with 31 points.

But after the winter break, Del Neri's Juventus suddenly collapsed.

They first lost 4-1 at home to Parma. This was followed by a 3-0 defeat away to Napoli.

Thankfully, they won 2-1 against Bari in the last round of the league. Otherwise, Derneri will have a harder time.

But even so. Del Neri's life was already difficult.

If Juventus' results continue to decline, his final fate will definitely be inevitable.

Originally, Juventus did not like to change managers frequently.

But since the "phonegate" incident, Juventus has had ups and downs due to results. It gradually fell into the vicious circle of "changing coaches if the results are not good, and the results are even worse when the results are changed".

In four years. They've had five head coaches.

Initially, after the team was relegated, Capello abandoned Juventus and went to Real Madrid.

Deschamps was ordered to lead the team to the second division, and the result was to win the championship ahead of schedule.

However, due to disagreements with the club's new management over the future planning of the team, Deschamps submitted his resignation after leading the team to win the Serie B title two rounds in advance, ending his coaching career at his old club.

Didier Deschamps left the team and led Juventus to Serie A with the experienced "tinkerer" Ranieri.

Claudio Ranieri is the best and longest-serving manager in charge of Juventus during this time.

Claudio Ranieri's Juventus also reached the Champions League, but because he couldn't manage the relationship with the dressing room, he ended up leaving the class and going to Rome.

After Ranieri, the team changed to Ferrara as interim head coach, but he did not expect Ferrara to perform well in the final two games of the league, leading the team to two consecutive wins, so after the new season, Ferrara was awarded a formal two-year contract.

It's just that Ferrara only led the team for half a season, and as the season deepened, the Achilles' heel of the Italian young coach's lack of coaching experience gradually emerged, and Juve's record also showed a trend of high and low. Faced with a poor league record and a Champions League group stage exit, Ferraris had to announce another change of manager, replacing Ferrara with Zaccheroni, who had been successful at Udinese and Milan. However, Zaccheroni's arrival failed to reverse Juventus' decline, as the Bianconeri finished eighth in the league and said goodbye to the Champions League, and Zaccheroni unsurprisingly handed over his handover.

After a failed season, Juventus made a top-down personnel change in the summer of 2010, with Agnelli, who was the club's president, poaching Marotta from Samp as general manager, and bringing in Del Neri, the amazing coach who led Sampdoria to a great record.

But who would want to play Delneri after half a season of good football, there is a plummeting result.

Is Juventus' position cursed?

The Torino Sport newspaper once said this problem.

Asked if Juventus's position was cursed, whether it was an experienced old fritter, or a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, Ferrara, or the champion coach Zaccheroni, and now Delneri, they couldn't sit in Juventus's position for too long, and Zaccheroni and Ferrara were driven away before they even sat on their butts.

The match against Lazio may have been a match for Del Neri to save his position.

If Juventus can not lose to Lazio at home, it will be considered a good performance - this is really sad to say, with Juventus's status in Italian football, when can it be considered a success to draw Lazio in its own main property?

But that's just the way it is.

No one expects the current Juventus to beat Lazio.

To be able to draw with Lazio would be a victory.

In fact, the whole of Europe ...... No, there is no team in the whole world who can draw against Lazio.

They have won all of their league games this season, as well as qualifying for the Champions League group stage and winning all of their Club World Cup.

If you count the UEFA Super Cup and the Italian Super Cup, it is a victory, except that it is a victory.

In such a situation, if Juventus can really draw with Lazio, it will definitely be a remarkable result, and it will definitely make headlines in the entire European media the next day.

Del Neri can also rely on the draw in this game to prove his ability and gain public opinion support, thus securing his position at Juventus.
