The Champions League draw divides the 32 teams into four tiers based on the European points they have earned over the past five years. Lazio had low European points in their first two years. But because they were the champions of the Champions League last season, this time according to the rules, they were directly listed in the first tier of teams.

It was Liverpool who were squeezed down by Lazio.

This team was supposed to be a first-tier team, as they won the Champions League in the summer of 2005.

However, in this time and space, Liverpool's Champions League title is gone, and their points are naturally not enough.

In the end, Lazio were separated from Atletico Madrid, Marseille and PSV Eindhoven.

Atletico Madrid and the perennial winners are also considered teams with grudges.

So this time the group stage is interesting again.

After the draw was over, reporters gathered around Chang Sheng, wanting to hear his answer to the results of the draw.

"We got a good draw." Chang Sheng's standard answer made the reporters roll their eyes.

A reporter protested: "You say that every year, often." You're fooling us! ”

"That's it!"

"How can it be easy to sign every year?" Journalists chimed in.

Chang Sheng spread out his hands and shrugged: "But I'm telling the truth, I'm telling the truth, what we drew is indeed a good lot." Do you want to hear me lie? I can say what you want to say, but that's not true, that's meaningless. ”

"What do you think about Atletico Madrid and your team in a group?"

"I'm happy, it's been a long time since I've been back to Calderón and I'm looking forward to coming back to that stadium again...... As you know, I still have a lot of affection for that stadium...... That's my lucky place, I've never lost there......"

Sure enough, it's a winning style!

Journalists rejoice.

That's what you want!

After the draw ceremony, the next night was the UEFA Super Cup. UEFA officials were all in the stands to watch the game.

This match is not the same as the last Super Cup match between Lazio and Barcelona.

There are no gimmicks in this game.

The focus on this game is limited to the Super Cup.

And to see if the winning teams are really going downhill.

The Italian Super Cup was directly ignored by these people, who thought that the tournament had little gold and that the Italian Super Cup victory did not mean anything.

The line-up for this game is exactly the same as it was in the Italian Super Cup.

Because this lineup proved its strength in the Italian Super Cup, it is necessary to win this Super Cup. Naturally, he wouldn't risk a new roster.

This game is in the place where you can choose. Chang Sheng still chose the old man, and arranged new players in other positions that were really not chosen.

Like risk and midfield.

This is the heaviest loss in the great freshness of summer.

Originally, two of the five strikers went. There are only three left, one of them is the substitute Rocchi, and the other is Cazorla who swings back and forth between the midfield and the striker, so the last two games. Edinson Cavani has all had his chances.

In the first Super Cup, Edinson Cavani did not score.

It was completely different from Falcao's debut.

Falcao scored on his debut that year.

So many people are worried that Cavani will not be able to replace Falcao.

And Chang Sheng's enough striker this summer didn't buy a single one.

The man of the game was Edinson Cavani in the centre, and David Cavani in the left winger. Silva, right winger Cazorla.

With the departure of midfielders Khedira, Inle and Nocerino, only two of Lazio's original five-man midfield remained, Luka Modric and Ledesma.

I can't even make up a lineup.

These two games have been won by Luka Modric and Ledesma, and the only one left is Motta.

Candreva was on the bench.

But there was only one substitute.

Chang Sheng's consideration is to let Cazorla continue to be a swingman and wait for Götze to mature.

Now Chang Sheng is using this skill of genius against Gotze in this way. Götze is already highly talented, so he is improving quickly.

However, in order not to put him under too much pressure too early, Chang Sheng has not yet considered letting him play.

When Gotze matures, let Gotze play as the main winger. Cazorla can return to midfield.

This makes the midfield less stretched.

In the back line, Lazio's losses are relatively small, although the most people walk, but only one is the main force.

Kolarov and Stendaldo and Campagnano were all substitutes.

Just one Abate is the main force, but Belletti has the ability to step up.

In this game, Lazio's backline was just a substitution, with Belletti replaced by Abate. Nothing else has been changed.

The goalkeeper is still Handanovic, and Mirante is on the bench.

It can be seen from this lineup that Chang Sheng still strives to be stable and secure.

So it's no wonder that some people think that winning the Italian Super Cup doesn't mean anything.

Because Lazio is still the same squad as last season.

How long can this lineup last?

This is what everyone doubts.

These voices have always been heard, and he is too lazy to fight with people who don't understand anything but prefer to pretend to be insiders.

What good is it for you to get into a verbal fight with a fool other than to prove that you are better than a fool? And does the fact that you are better than stupid still need to be proven?

Winning the championship is the most important thing.

The match with Zenit began with a tangling between the two sides.

It was clear that Zenit was well prepared, and perhaps they were playing this game as if it were a Champions League final.

It's not the same mentality as Lazio, which is still a warm-up game.

And it is also obvious that Zenit is in good shape.

This is perfectly normal.

Because the Russian Super League is underway at this time, it has been played more than halfway, and the team of Zenit St. Petersburg is in the best state after most of the season's league adjustments.

And what about Lazio? The league has not yet started, and after a month and a half of pre-season preparation, the mental, technical, physical and tactical state is still being adjusted. Very unstable.

The lack of form from the players is the biggest problem at the moment.

Playing a game is like riding a bike, you're just starting to ride, even if you know how to ride. You'll also be a little jerky. But if you're riding your bike to school and going to work every day. Then you can even do your homework while riding your bike......

Now Zenit St. Petersburg is a place where you can do your homework while riding, while Lazio is still familiar with what it's like to ride a bike.

So at the twenty-eighth minute. Lazio wanted to concede a goal first.

It was Arshavin who scored the goal, who did well at the European Championships!

"Arshavin - !!" The narrator cheered.

He cheered from the bottom of his heart, and even though he wasn't a Russian commentator, he could see Lazio fall behind in the game...... It's rare to see such a scene!

Moreover, if Lazio loses...... Then everyone will be even happier!

Because a team if it always wins. Always winning, it is inevitable that the neutral will find it boring.

If anyone could break the Lazio monopoly, it would be what everyone wanted – except for Lazio's supporters.

"Zenit St. Petersburg organized a beautiful assault before Lazio went in! Arshavin dribbled into the box and scored! He continued his great run at the European Championships! ”

Arshavin and his teammates celebrate the goal.

And Chang Sheng stood on the sidelines expressionless.

I can't help but lose this ball.

Arshavin forced a breakthrough and relied on speed to eat Pavin.

Pavon is also not the kind of defender who is fast and quick to turn, so he was erased by Arshavin. The rest is no suspense.

Arshavin who is in good shape now. There's no reason to miss that goal......

At the beginning of the season, the first-team lineup of nine people was changed, and it was normal for the state to fluctuate.

And there is still a lot of time, and Chang Sheng is not too flustered.

His eyes were fixed on the court. Constantly changing targets.

He's watching every player's performance.

Especially those who are new to the team.

The UEFA Super Cup is a European competition, and it's a workout team.

And Zenit is doing very well, and the team is behind the score, which can be regarded as creating a good environment for these new players - how to play against the wind.

It's a test for the whole Lazio team, but even more so for the new players.

Lazio will have a hearty big win, but also a game in an unfavorable situation, and if they lose in an unfavorable situation, such Lazio does not deserve to be reborn.

After Zenit St. Petersburg took the lead, they seemed to see hope of beating Champions League champions Lazio.

Russian fans in the stands cheered Ula Ula and cheered for Zenit.

The commentator kept praising Arshavin's performance and said that it would not be long before the star would not be staying at Zenit St. Petersburg and would not be in the Russian league. Because Russia can no longer meet the star's ambition to spread his wings.

Lazio, on the other hand, was beaten by Zenit and couldn't hold their heads up.

Pavon was abruptly a little unable to find the north by Arshavin, no way, Jose. Passarella had no choice but to come up and help him.

But the result of helping him is that there will be a gap in his own defense zone.

So Zenit St. Petersburg will make a fuss about this, which will make Lazio even more uncomfortable. If Pavin is left alone, Arshavin may burst his side into a sieve.

"Arshavin was in very, very good form today! It's just how to fight, how to have! If it hadn't been for Lazio's goalkeeper Handanovic rubbing the tip of his finger, maybe the goal had gone in again...... It seems that Chang's team is really likely to be blown up in this game! ”

The TV broadcast followed the narrator's voice and gave Chang Sheng a close-up.

Chang Sheng in the shot did not frown and look anxious, but still looked calm.

It's as if the team that was beaten badly wasn't his team......
