Chapter 133: Clear Opponent (Second Update)

It's also an influential entertainment medium.

So this sentiment is widely circulated.

Of course, soon someone justified Chang Sheng, and there were actually a lot of fans of him.

On January 13, in the 19th round of the league, Lazio hosted Siena.

During the match, Lazio fans displayed a giant banner that almost circled the stadium and read: "There are 70,000 people here, all regular supporters!" There are two million people out there, and they are just like us! ”

Apparently after reading the reports of the entertainment media, Lazio fans were very unconvinced, so they used this way to announce their existence.

Avril was in the VIP box during this game, and she naturally saw this scene as well.

But she didn't get angry about it, on the contrary, she always had a smile on her face.

She is also happy to see her husband so popular. If you are jealous of anyone, you can't be jealous of your husband.

The TV broadcast gave Avril a close-up, and the narrator teased: "It looks like Chang Sheng can breathe a sigh of relief, because his wife is not angry......"

In this match, Lazio defeated the visiting Siena with a score of 2-1 to remain at the top of the league table.

At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Chang Sheng how he felt about the banner and the comments of entertainment magazines.

Chang Sheng, who was in a good mood, smiled and said, "I haven't talked to Avril about this...... Will she be angry? She's not stingy, what's there to be angry about? ”

Another reporter asked his wife if coming to the scene to watch the game would make Chang Sheng better and have fighting spirit.

Chang Sheng spread his hands: "No matter how much I have fighting spirit, I can't play." Avril did tell me, though, that if I lost, I would get up tomorrow and make her breakfast. In order to be able to sleep in. So I had to let the players try to win the game......"

The reporters let out a good-natured laugh.

Everyone has been working together for so long, and I also know that when Chang Sheng is in front of the media, he doesn't always look hideous, and he has to quarrel with the media endlessly.

In fact, as long as you don't deliberately provoke Chang Sheng, he is still a very good person to contact, and he will not take the initiative to provoke, unless he wants to fight psychological warfare. But he won't fight psychological warfare with the media......

Of course, the premise is to always win and be in a good mood. If you provoke Chang Sheng, then I'm sorry, Chang Sheng will definitely make you want to die. Regret messing with him.

In the Coppa Italia, Lazio was eliminated by Messina in the quarter-finals, and that was in November last year.

At that time, the team's mind was not on the Coppa Italia, it was the first round of the Coppa Italia played by Lazio.

But the Italian Cup is such a chicken rib, it doesn't matter if you don't want it.

It's the league that's all that matters.

At the same time, because of the lack of the Coppa Italia. As a result, Lazio did not play as much in January.

With the four quarter-finals and semi-finals missing, Lazio can get more rest.

This is also a benefit of being eliminated from the Coppa Italia......

On January 21, in the twentieth round of the league, Lazio welcomed AC Milan at home.

The impact of the phonegate scandal on AC Milan this season is clear.

Nineteen rounds of league games have been played, with AC Milan winning seven, drawing seven and losing five. With only 28 points, it is in seventh place.

Such a result can only be described as miserable for AC Milan.

Lazio, who are first in the league, have 47 points, 15 wins, two draws and two losses.

The difference between the two sides is nineteen points.

Before that, in Milan. There has always been controversy. Is it still necessary for AC Milan to compete for the league title this season, or should they do their job and shift their focus to the Champions League?

And the game against Lazio may be a validation. Verify if AC Milan still have any hope of competing for the league title.

Halfway through the league, AC Milan and Lazio are separated by nineteen points. If they can beat Lazio away from home. The margin will be reduced to 16 points, which is still very large, but not impossible. On top of that, a win in this game could prove that AC Milan are still competitive in the domestic league and that they can still compete with the big teams in the domestic league.

In the games where the teams above them are currently ranked higher, AC Milan have not had a good result.

Against Lazio, they lost 3-1 at home.

Against Inter Milan, they lost 3-4 at home.

Against Roma, they lost 2-1 at home.

Against Palermo, they lost 2-0 at home.

Against Fiorentina, they drew 2-2 away.

It was only against promoted Maccatania that they saved some face, winning 3-0 at home.

The remaining five opponents lost four games and drew one.

And the losses are all at home.

This is a very big blow to AC Milan.

There are even those who feel that AC Milan has completely degenerated.

If they can beat Lazio away and pull one back, they may be able to salvage their woefully poor confidence and self-esteem.

※※※

Chang Sheng is also very aware of this, so he will not let AC Milan find confidence in himself.

Not only that, but he also needs to blow AC Milan's confidence more completely, forcing them to completely abandon the idea of winning the domestic league and clear a big obstacle for themselves to win the league.

Therefore, in this game, Chang Sheng sent all the strongest combat forces, and paid full attention to the opponent tactically, and made the most meticulous and careful arrangements, with only one purpose, that is, to win.

Thumped.

Use a game to tell AC Milan, don't play in the domestic league, your battlefield is in the Champions League, go outside. It's a shame that Kaka is in such a good form and doesn't have to defend and fight back to abuse European teams.

Against AC Milan's aging and injury-ridden defence.

From the first second of the race, Lazio picked up the pace and kept accelerating.

Winning is to rely on the fact that all the players in his team are young, have good physical strength, can run well, and bully AC Milan, a total age of 139 years old. The average age is thirty-four seven or five years old grandfather line.

Cafu, Paul. Maldini, Nesta, plus a Favali were very difficult to cope with under the onslaught of Lazio's young players.

Gattuso was the only one in midfield, and Pirlo was largely of little help defensively.

As for Kaka, it's basically not very involved in defense, and even if it does, it doesn't play a role.

It's too easy for so many people to deal with Gattuso alone.

Soon. Gattuso was ripped apart, and then Lazio could face the aging AC Milan defence directly.

Of course, AC Milan are quite tenacious.

They held out until the fortieth minute, when the gates were lost.

Falcao not only scored a goal for Lazio, but also sent his defender Nesta off injured. It is not possible to continue to participate in the competition.

It was a double whammy for AC Milan.

Of course, the AC Milan goal was a delight for Lazio fans. However, Nesta was injured and the Lazio fans remained polite and restrained.

Everyone knows that Nesta belongs to the Blue Eagles, and he left Lazio for AC Milan because Lazio needed to sell him to pay off his debts.

For Nesta, the Lazio fans are quite polite.

※※※

Nesta's injury was a huge blow to AC Milan's morale.

Nesta has been injured several times this season. Basically, I didn't play very well.

The game against Lazio was so important that he was back in action.

I didn't expect to be injured after just 40 minutes......

Many people even think that Nesta is probably over.

Since the World Cup, there have been constant injuries. Although no one doubts his quality in the centre-back position. However, the glass physique also restricted his further development. If he weren't too injury-prone, he would have become the undisputed number one centre-back in the world – the first centre-back, not one of the first, mind you.

When the team wants to challenge for the league title. Nesta's injury is an absolute blow to AC Milan.

Carlo Ancelotti watched from the sidelines as Nesta fell to the ground, as the Lazios celebrated their goal. The painful Nesta is like a background that is not worth mentioning......

He shook his head.

It will be too difficult for AC Milan to compete for the league title......

If you do your best in the league, it is very likely that you will still be in the end empty.

In that case, what do you do by competing for the league title?

This season is the first since the callgate scandal, and it is necessary to let the whole of Italy, and indeed the whole of Europe, know that AC Milan has not been brought down by the callgate scandal.

So despite the headwinds, AC Milan will have to show something to prove themselves.

If you can't win the league title, the Coppa Italia is meaningless, so won't there be only one Champions League left in the end?

In front of the visiting dugout at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Carlo Ancelotti finally made a decision - to give up the league and compete for the Champions League title.

Anyway, Kaka's form this season has been surprisingly good, and his characteristics are just right for defensive counter-attacks.

And in cup games, defensive counterattacks can often work wonders.

All conditions are met...... It is destined that AC Milan should challenge for the Champions League title.

※※※

Nesta was carried off the stretcher.

Twenty-eight-year-old Karadze was replaced.

The average age of AC Milan's backline has finally been pulled down to 0.5 years......

It doesn't mean anything to AC Milan.

Lazio also continued to relentlessly bully the backline, which had dropped from 34.75 to 34.25.

In the second half, as the fitness of the AC Milan players dropped, their resistance was even weaker.

In the end, Lazio beat AC Milan 3-0 at home to get a complete victory.

After the game, Carlo Ancelotti admitted that AC Milan were no longer in a position to compete for the league title this season.

He didn't say that the team's focus would shift to the Champions League, but everyone could have guessed.

Giants AC Milan will never admit defeat, and what they lose in the domestic league will surely double their earnings in the Champions League.

So, with February just around the corner, the AC Milan team's strategic focus this season has completely shifted to the Champions League.

And Chang Win took advantage of this game to clear the obstacle of AC Milan.

Now, there is only one man left to defeat Inter Milan.
