After the game, the news of Lazio's 5-2 win over AC Milan became the headline of the media throughout Italy.

While Lazio have been in good form of late, no one could have imagined that they could beat AC Milan so easily on the road.

Most people didn't even guess the outcome of Lazio's victory, and they felt that AC Milan should be able to win at home, even if it was a little harder, but the final victory would definitely be theirs.

They guessed wrong even that.

After the game, many media used the word "underdog", and they thought that AC Milan's defeat to Lazio by such a huge score at home was an upset.

In response, Chang Sheng wrote on his personal website that he was unhappy with the media's use of the word "unpopular" to describe the victory. Because with Lazio's current strength, it is not a strange result to win AC Milan at all, and it is normal to beat AC Milan with this scoreline.

Whatever the word, though, the whole of Italy was shocked by the result and the score of this game.

The game was still discussed on TV for several days, and it was analyzed scene by shot, why Lazio could win so easily?

Why AC Milan will be helpless against Lazio.

This kind of thing makes Lazio fans very happy.

They kept changing the channel and watched these shows over and over again, just to listen to the guests and hosts there compliment Lazio's performance.

However, on the first day of training, Chang Sheng told his players: "Forget the game against AC Milan, our goal is not to beat AC Milan, but to finish in the top four of the league and qualify for next season's Champions League." So look ahead, guys. ”

Fifth round of the league. Lazio host Palermo.

In this game, Lazio beat AC Milan 5-2 away in the previous round and beat Palermo 4-2 at home.

People were surprised to find that September was over, and Lazio was unbeaten throughout the month!

They have won four and drawn one, accumulated 13 points, scored 14 goals and conceded only five. Win by as many as nine.

They are currently second in the league, behind Juventus, who have won all five games.

Such technical statistics such as rankings and goals conceded surprised many people.

Who would have thought that Lazio, who had undergone a purge and a major change at the beginning of the season, would be able to perform so strongly?

Compare the results of Chang Sheng in Rome at the same time, and you will find that this is completely the same as the two!

What makes winning a good win different insurance in the two Roma City teams?

Chang Sheng said in an interview with reporters that it was because of Lotito's trust.

He didn't say Rome, but everyone knew that when he said that, he accused Rome of not trusting him in the first place. If Roma had believed in him, he would have given Roma such a wonderful start to the league.

It's a pity that now Rome has no chance.

Five rounds into the league and while Lazio were on top of second place in the league, Roma were in 10th place under Prandelli......

Of course, if you look at the points. It will feel much better. Two wins, two draws and one loss, with eight points, is not a few points away from the top of the league.

But being thrown so far by the sworn enemy of the same city, you can't see Lazio's back when you look up, it's really uncomfortable......

Of course, in a few rounds, Roma will have a chance in the eighth round, where they will face Lazio at home!

Rome city derby. It's a great opportunity for Roma to catch up with Lazio and give the damned perennial winner a head start!

Played the match against Palermo. Lazio will be preparing for the second leg of the UEFA Cup against Jeminaur.

Because in the first leg, Lazio defeated the opponent 3:0 away, so in this game, Chang Sheng did not send the main lineup, but continued to rotate.

From Valencia to Rome to Lazio. He really likes to rotate.

When he rotated wildly in Valencia, it also caused a discussion in the media, and the topic of discussion was whether such a rotation was a good thing or a bad thing?

At that time, there was not much acceptance of rotation.

As a result, almost all the big clubs now choose to rotate.

Because they have found that rotation is the best way to deal with multi-front operations. This will not only ensure that all the players will not have problems with their fitness, but also allow every player to get the opportunity to play and maintain their fitness.

this game. At home, Changsheng fielded a number of young players, with Benzema, Borriello and David up front. Silva started the game, with Khedira, Luka Modric and Marchisio in midfield.

Stendado and Campagnano were given the chance to start at the back, while De Silvestri and Pasquale were at full-back.

Veteran goalkeeper Peruzzi also gave up the starting line-up to bring on the young Handanovic.

Chang Sheng almost changed the entire starting lineup, and only David was the only one who had to change the starting lineup. Silva is still on the pitch.

But even so, Lazio beat Genminaur 1-0 at home.

Thus qualifying for the group stage with an aggregate score of 4:0.

Of course, as a sworn enemy in the same city, it is natural to care about the performance of another opponent, and the competition and comparison between the two sides are all-round.

Roma were almost certain to advance after beating Aris 5-1 at home in the first leg, and this trip Prandelli also took some rotation and ended up in a 0-0 draw with Aris away from home.

After the first round of the League Cup, with only 40 of the 80 teams left, the draw was followed by the grouping ceremony.

Roma were drawn in Group E with Basel of Switzerland, Strasbourg of France, Tromsso of Norway and Red Star Belgrade of Serbia.

Lazio were drawn in Group F next door, against Russia's CSKA Moscow, Romania's Dynamo Bucharest, the Netherlands' Heerenveen and Bulgaria's Sofia Levsky.

In terms of grouping, it seems that Lazio have a slightly better grouping, and Roma seem to have a stronger opponent.

But regardless of the group, it should not be difficult for Roma and Lazio to qualify from the group.

Originally, everyone thought that Lazio would be more difficult, but after watching their performances in the International Toto Cup and the league. That doubt is gone. I don't know why, but it's clear that this Lazio team has regained the momentum of winning the league and the Coppa Italia that year.

The first round of the group stage will be on October 20, and Lazio will face CSKA Moscow away. In late October, Russia should already be in winter, and bad weather may cause some problems for Lazio by then.

In the sixth round, Lazio drew 3:3 with Udinese away.

Seventh round. Lazio host Fiorentina.

Purple Lily also once pursued his team after Chang Sheng's dismissal, but unfortunately they did not succeed. In fact, in all aspects, they and Lazio really can't say who is good and who is bad.

But who would have thought that the factors that determine which team to go to win are not these things at all, but the location of the team. Lazio took advantage of a fellow Roma, so Chang Sheng became the head coach of Lazio and led Lazio to good results.

This game is often won without sending all the main players, and it is still a rotation, but it is different from the rotation of the last home game against Jeminaur. The amplitude is a little smaller.

When the media saw this starting lineup, they said that the winning team was merciful, and Fiorentina might have a chance.

But they all guessed wrong.

Although Fiorentina also intended to invite him in the first place, Chang Sheng did not let this deter his subordinates, and he must win the game.

So the final score was 1:0, and Lazio, playing at home, beat Fiorentina by a narrow margin.

If you compare it with AC Milan's game, it can indeed be said that the constant victory is merciful......

However, as soon as this game is over, everyone's focus will not be on this game that has already ended.

Everyone's eyes are very long-term at this time. It went straight to the Rome derby a week later!

That's the real battle of the dragon, Mars hitting the earth!

This Rome derby has nothing to do with the current league standings of either side. Nor has it to do with their recent performances.

Who loses and who wins, referring to the recent statistics, that is meaningless.

All one needs to know is that this is the hottest derby in Italy, far ahead of the Milan derby and the Italian national derby.

And this year's derby will be even more hot and exciting because of the constant wins.

So the media almost from the moment Chang Sheng announced that he would coach Lazio. Began to wait...... No, I should say I'm looking forward to this game.

The winner returns to the "Stadio Olimpico in Rome", note that it is Roma's, not Lazio's.

What kind of "welcome" will he receive then?

※※※

There is still a week left in the competition. The war of words between the two sides has begun.

In an interview with reporters, Lazio president Lotito publicly supported Chang Sheng, complaining about what happened to Chang Sheng, but forgetting that if Roma had not "treated Chang Sheng publicly", I am afraid he would not have had a chance to get the youngest champion coach in history......

"I think it's true that there are all kinds of unpublic treatment in Rome, which are covered by the media, and those who are interested can find out if they go through the media reports themselves...... From my contact with him, he is often a very good manager, he is a serious and responsible person and has an approachable attitude. All the accusations made by the AS Roma club against him are unfounded......"

Then he laughed at Rome, which had lost its winning years, for not doing as well as having won it in the first place.

"There have been seven rounds in the league and we are second in the league with 17 points. What about Rome? I'm sorry, but I had to scroll down the scroll bar to see them...... Fourteenth in the league! Two wins, two draws and three losses! Eight points! Ha! At this, Lotito couldn't help but laugh.

It seems a little unstable to do this as a chairman, but it doesn't matter, no one will blame him, because this is the attitude towards sworn enemies in the same city. It's like how the club laughed at Lazio when he was on the verge of bankruptcy.

"Give Cassel an annual salary of 50,000 euros? Oh, my God! Do we live in the eighteenth century? It's unbelievable that there is still a manager of a top-flight team with such a low salary...... If I were Cassel, I would never accept this kind of insult, I would definitely leave! ”

That's what Club of Rome president Sensi said to reporters at the time.

At that time, Lotito was aggrieved...... He was dizzy all day long in order to save money, but he had no money, so Sensi laughed at him like this, and he couldn't help it.

But now it's different, the financial crisis is solved, and you only need to pay back 5.5 million euros a year, which is much easier. The grades have also improved, and everything is really smooth.

So he also had the mind to turn around and satirize Rome.

In the same way, the president of Rome, Sensi, is now very aggrieved, listening to Lotito's sarcasm, but unable to refute it.

Because Roma's results are really poor......

But Lotito didn't let him go so easily, and stuck a knife in his heart.

"Last season's results weren't bad, and Sensi was able to fire him with a bang. So may I ask Prandelli this team result, Sensi dares to expel him? He didn't dare. Why? Because Prandelli is Totti's favorite coach! Thank you Sensi, thank you Totti, thank you Roma for having such a good manager! (To be continued)
