In the twentieth round of the league, Lazio defeated AC Milan 3-0 at home.

After the game, there was no media surprised to say that it was unbelievable or unpopular.

Although Lazio's players may not seem to be famous, the team as a whole is really super strong.

It's normal for them to beat such an AC Milan double this season.

In the same league round, Inter Milan beat Fiorentina 3-1 at home.

Despite the defeat to Lazio, the Inter Milan team was quite good at self-regulation and quickly managed to solve the crisis with a victory.

In the standings, Inter Milan continue to cling to Lazio by two points.

As for Roma, they have long since fallen behind, and are eight points away from Inter Milan, who are second in the league. There is a difference of as many as 10 points from Lazio in first place.

Looking at this rhythm, basically this season is Lazio and Inter Milan competing for the league title.

The difference of two points is not much, and any team has a chance.

If both sides don't let up, it may be necessary to wait until the 36th round of the league, when Inter Milan hosts Lazio.

There are still sixteen rounds to go, and who knows what will happen in those sixteen rounds?

※※※

In the 21st round of the league, Lazio defeated Palermo 3-0 away, and Inter Milan defeated Sampdoria 2-0 away.

In the 22nd round of the league, Inter Milan lost 1:3 at home to Roma in the league.

However, Lazio did not win either, as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Chievo.

The difference between the two sides widened to three points, and the lead was still slim.

In the 23rd round, Lazio defeated Atalanta 1:0 away, and Inter Milan beat Chievo 2:0 away.

In the 24th round, Inter Milan, who played first, defeated Cagliari 1:0 at home. Lazio then beat Torino 2-0 at home.

In this game, Chang Win did not send all the main players, because Lazio will go to Glasgow, Scotland to challenge Celtic in the following week.

It was the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

※※※

Winning regularly keeps the team recuperating, but the result of the away game against Celtic does not satisfy him.

Lazio, who played their main team, drew 0-0 with Celtic away.

The biggest problem for this team is the lack of experience in playing in the Champions League.

None of the fronts have ever had Champions League experience.

Falcao, Benzema, David. Neither Silva nor Rocchi have played in the Champions League.

Falcao doesn't even have European experience.

In midfield, the situation is slightly better than in the front line.

Cazorla played in the Champions League last season with the yellow submarine Villarreal and also reached the semi-finals with the team.

With the exception of Cazorla, Modric, Melo, Khedira, Inle and Ledesmann have not played in the Champions League.

At the back is Lazio in the best situation, with several players playing in the Champions League to a greater or lesser extent.

Francisco. Although Pavon had a failed career at Real Madrid, he played in many Champions League games with Real Madrid and is arguably the most experienced player in the Champions League in the Lazio team.

Lichtsteiner also played in the Champions League last season with Lille. However, they only played a few group games, and Lille did not even qualify from the group.

Barzaretti also played in the Champions League at Juventus last season, but he was not a main player at Juventus, so he played as a substitute in the Champions League, and basically did not get many minutes of playing time.

The rest. Jose. Passarella, Stendaldo, Campagnaro, Coentrão and Abate haven't even seen anything like the Champions League.

The goalkeeper position was completely wiped out.

After Peruzzi left, Lazio did not have a goalkeeper with Champions League experience.

Only four of the team, Cazorla, Pavon, Lichtsteiner and Barzaretti, have Champions League experience, which is a bit too pitiful for a first-team team of 22 men.

The others have relied on the previous six group games to gain experience.

However, the group stage and the knockout stage of the Champions League can be considered two competitions at all.

Just because you can easily qualify from the group stage does not mean that you can easily reach the semi-finals or the final.

Lazio's performance is proof of that.

Although many of them have won the League Cup.

But the difference between the league and the Champions League is even greater.

The Champions League is the highest-level football competition this week, and it deserves its name.

Let's just say the simplest one.

There are technical statistics that show that. In the Champions League, the speed of the ball is 20 per cent faster than in Serie A.

Many teams can call for wind and rain in the league, and when they get to the Champions League, it will be very difficult, not for nothing, and it cannot be simply attributed to the poor form of the players.

Tactics, player habits and other factors are affecting the team's performance.

It took three seasons for Perencia to win. It took a mature team and Ronaldinho's individual performances to overcome many difficulties and lift the trophy.

It's Lazio, which has just undergone a big change. It's good to be in the round of 16. Many teams that are more mature than Lazio have the ultimate goal of qualifying from the group......

Chang Sheng knows the state of the team. Experience is something that can't be brought by any training skills and other plug-ins, only by accumulating over time. All he can do is make sure the players can play in the Champions League every season and gain experience.

The away game was tied 0-0 with Celtic, and the players were not blamed for the regular wins.

Instead, he supported his players in the post-match press conference: "I'm proud of my players for being able to hold Celtic to a tenacious draw in such a frenetic atmosphere. ”

In the Champions League, they have encountered stubborn resistance from their opponents, but in the domestic league, Lazio have basically gone sideways.

The same is true for Inter Milan.

Inter Milan held Valencia to a 2-2 draw at home in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-finals in midweek.

Flores's team was beaten like a lost dog, and they didn't expect to be able to shake their majesty in front of Inter Milan.

This is a reflection of the current decline of Serie A......

Three days later, in the 25th round of the league, Lazio beat Cagliari 2-0 away from home with a substitute line-up.

Of course, Inter Milan also won, beating promoted Maccatania 5-2 away.

It speaks volumes about the strength of these two teams in the league.

Round XXVI. Lazio beat Catania 3-1 at home.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, was accidentally held to a 1-1 draw at home by Udinese.

At this moment, the gap between the two teams widened to five points.

Suddenly, something was different.

Having been two points or three points behind before, Inter Milan was not too anxious.

It's like running a marathon, you have to have a strategy, run at the front from the beginning, and the person who is the leader will not be able to persevere until the end to win the championship, and will definitely be overtaken halfway.

Smart players will follow the big team from the beginning and will not show the mountains.

And then a little bit to stand out, but he won't be number one either. Even if he has this ability, he will follow the first group except for the leader, and then suddenly exert force at the last moment to complete the transcendence.

And the frontrunner will feel a lot of pressure just by the thought of his ass being followed by such a few powerful people.

Ultimately. I messed up the rhythm, my physical energy was consumed too quickly, and I was defeated.

So when they were two or three points behind, Inter Milan chose to be a follower and keep putting pressure on Lazio.

So Lazio wins, and so do they. Always keep the same rhythm.

But when they're five points down, it's no longer a matter of Group 1 and the frontrunners......

Lazio is still the frontrunner. Inter Milan, on the other hand, have a tendency to become a second group.

Roma are eight points away from them in the league, after nine points before.

One point less.

Now it's Mancini's turn to do the multiple-choice questions.

Carlo Ancelotti had done it before, and after playing Lazio, he decisively dropped the domestic league. Chose the Champions League.

They are the most reliable Italian team in the Champions League, winning 2-0 away at Lille in the quarter-finals.

Everybody knows about it.

Then Mancini has to make a decision.

Is it the domestic league or the Champions League?

Inter Milan was able to be beaten 2:2 by Valencia at home, and this performance made many Inter fans unhappy.

There have been rumours at the club's hierarchy that Roberto Mancini is going to reconsider his managerial position.

God blocks and kills God in the league. Buddha blocked Buddha, and only Ibrahimovic, who often won him, performed badly in the Champions League group stage. Six group stage matches. Not a single goal was scored.

Instead, his substitute Cruise had three more goals on the scoresheet.

In the last Champions League quarter-final, he came on in the game and didn't score a single goal.

It's a far cry from his performance in the league. He scored eleven goals in the league. He is the top scorer in the Inter Milan team.

Looking at his very different performances in the league and the Champions League, it is no wonder that the media will quote Chang Sheng's assessment of Ibrahimovic.

In the Champions League, it is a soft-footed shrimp, and it is useless to score more goals in the league.

Mancini also doesn't know why Ibrahimovic is in such good form in the league and is dumb when he arrives in the Champions League.

But it is clear that it is unrealistic to put the Champions League on the Swedish tower.

But if even Ibrahimovic is not in the same way, how far can Inter Milan go in the Champions League?

For Mancini, the Champions League has a strange feeling compared to the domestic league. He's a bit of a boss in this tournament and what he's doing in the domestic league doesn't work in the Champions League.

With Inter Milan and themselves, it's too difficult to compete for the Champions League. Maybe they won't even be able to get past Valencia.

After all, in the next leg, Valencia returned to their home stadium with two away goals, and the fool knows what they will do.

And in the domestic league, it is already five points behind Lazio, if you don't do something about it...... Maybe it's going to get worse and worse.

……

After much thought, Mancini finally decided to wait until the second leg against Valencia was over.

If Inter Milan are eliminated from the competition, then the focus of work will immediately shift to the domestic league and fight Lazio.

There is still a five-point gap to chase.

ps, in the face of the gods again and again, I really have to say thank you.

Thank you!
