Chapter 61: The Beginning
Welcome to the Olympic Stadium, where the first match of the > is about to take place, between Lazio the Blue Eagles and Liverpool, the English guests who have travelled from afar, the winners of last season's championships.
"The two teams haven't played each other very much, but that doesn't mean the two teams will play conservatively. You must know that the two teams, whether it is from the tasks they set this season or the style of the game, have long been destined for this game to be a wonderful offensive battle. After all, the two teams are in the g~ group, and they can be regarded as strong teams~~~Uh~~~ However, the two teams are not bad. ”
As the commentator spoke, he suddenly realized that he was not right to say this, and that saying this would make Chelsea Valencia, who are also in Group G, feel that they are looking down on both teams. You have to know that you are a commentator at the moment, no matter how you say it or explain it, if this sentence reaches the ears of Chelsea and Valencia, it will definitely think that Lazio looks down on you.
You must know that although the main purpose of a team is to fight for more and higher honors, there is one more important point in this, that is, face. This is also why, often some teams are not strong, but when they meet sworn enemies in the same city and play derby, they often burst out with terrifying combat effectiveness.
Although Chelsea and Valencia will not look for themselves, they will definitely hold a secret grudge against Lazio, and when it comes to the game, I am afraid that they will do their best.
Although he is very confident in Lazio and believes that Lazio will definitely be one of the two balls that appear, the situation in Group G is too delicate, not to mention Lazio, even Liverpool, which seems to be the strongest at the moment, does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to appear in the group.
It is precisely because of this that the commentator who reflected it in time suddenly added a sentence at the end that the two teams were similar, and made up for the mistakes in his words.
Just as the commentator kept talking about the highlights of the game, suddenly the entire Olympic Stadium burst into a huge cheer, and it turned out that the two teams had entered the game venue under the leadership of the referee.
When the fans were still singing and dancing, cheering for the place where the game was about to be held, in the stadium, the players of both sides were not polite and directly prepared for battle, and the captains of both sides, Hyypia and Peruzzi, were also exchanging the flags of their respective clubs and choosing half time. Everything went very naturally and smoothly.
In the end, Lazio won the ball, and when the main dish of the game saw that Peruzzi had returned to his goalkeeper position and was ready, he no longer hesitated, and immediately blew the whistle for the start of the game.
Di Canio hands the ball to Dimuzzi. He began to run slowly towards the Liverpool penalty area. Muzi handed the ball to Dinojo, the heart of the midfield behind him. Let Baggio be in charge of organizing the attack. He followed Di Canio. Towards the Liverpool penalty area.
When Baggio gets the ball. Nothing was done though. But the entire Olympic Stadium burst into loud cheers and applause. This shows how much Lazio fans love Baggio.
In the hearts of Lazio fans. Dino Baggio is far better than Robert Baggio. More powerful. If you have to ask why. Just because Dino Baggio is our own Lazio. Those who have their own do not praise their own people. I don't like my own people. Of course. If that Robert Joe can come to Lazio. Nature is better.
Although Robert Joe is a bit older. But Lazio fans don't care. After all, Lazio is a central player in the field. Which one is not in his early thirties. I believe that as long as it is Italian. There's no one who doesn't like Robert Joe. It's a pity that Baggio is staying in Brescia at this time.
Just as Lazio fans continue to fantasize about Robert Joe coming to Lazio. When forming a double Baggio lineup with Dino Baggio. What will be the situation. At this time. Baggio is also starting to choose to pass. Before Gerrard rushed over to grab the ball. Baggio handed the ball to Cesa.
After all, Cesar's strength is comprehensive. When attacking the ground. It can even be turned into a winger. When defending. Playing as a full-back is not without its problems. It seems that the Sisa technique is very comprehensive. But Cesar is also only comprehensive. And not fine. But there is one peculiarity of Cesa. That is to attach great importance to teamwork. There is not a shred of individual heroism. So when Alonso was ready to tackle the ground. Sisaton handed the ball to Otto behind him.
Otto was quick, got a pass from Cesa, and immediately took the ball along the side towards the Liverpool penalty area.
"Zou~ Rimo started to run wild with the ball, it looks like Marimo is in good shape today, and the attack is also very strong, it seems that Marimo is hoping that he can score a goal or send an assist."
When Otto ran wildly with the ball, the entire Olympic Stadium burst into applause, and Otto had already conquered the stern Lazio fans with his excellent swing and became the darling of the fans.
But Liverpool is not easy to mess with, if you let Oddo score with a cross like this, then Liverpool will not continue to stay in the Champions League, not to mention that the goal of this season is still towards the Champions League trophy.
Seeing Odo running wildly, Carragher didn't say a word, and rushed straight up, entangled with Odo.
As an attacking full-back, Odo's foot-to-foot skills are naturally not to be said, although he is entangled with Carragher, he firmly controls the ball at his feet and does not give Carragher a chance to break the ball.
Otto's foot skills are good, but in terms of body, he is far from being as good as Carragher, who has honed a lot of practice in England. Carragher also
Fang has good technique at the foot and it is difficult to break the opponent's ball. Thinking of this, he pushed Odo to the side, Odo involuntarily took a small step back, and at this moment, Carragher quickly grabbed the ball and passed the ball to Alonso in front.
"Foul, it's definitely a brutal foul, if it weren't for the luck of our Marimo, I'm afraid he would have been injured at this point. As a referee on the pitch, it's time for the referee to step up and give Carragher a yellow card. ”
"Damn, the British, you're looking for death."
"Kill the British." When the Lazio fans saw Carragher squeeze Otto out of the ball, coupled with the commentator's words, they stopped doing it on the spot, and immediately cursed angrily, as if they wished they could rush into the field and kill Carragher.
The referee glanced at Carragher and Otto, and after a second of thinking, decided not to blow the whistle, and stretched out his hands to make a gesture to signal that the game was going on normally.
In the eyes of the referee, Carragher's steals are indeed a bit savage, a bit foul, but not very obvious, and they belong to the kind of driving between fouls and non-fouls. In this case, the referee can generally be blown or not.
However, considering that Liverpool broke the ball at their own back anyway, whether it is for Liverpool or Lazio, it is a safe area, and it has no impact whether it is blown or not. And even if Lazio is cut off by Liverpool, they will not necessarily be scored by the opponent immediately. Thinking of this, the referee immediately signaled that the game was going on normally.
When the referee made a gesture to continue the game, the Lazio fans at the scene did not do it, and immediately booed loudly to express their dissatisfaction. It's a pity that Lazio fans forgot that the referee is not a player, but the referee's tolerance is no worse than the player, or even better. You must know that referees, especially referees, generally tend to withstand the boos of fans on both sides, and their psychological tolerance is naturally not bad.
In the face of the boos sent by tens of thousands of Lazio fans, the referee was expressionless and continued to follow the ball to enforce the law, and it was obvious that the buddy was numb to the boos of the fans.
Alonso handed the ball to Gerrard, who didn't stop the ball and shouted directly to pass the ball to Lazio's right-hand baseline.
Owen and Otto, who retreated in time, were chasing the ball as fast as they could. It's a pity that the two sides have been entangled before they catch the ball, and it is inevitable that there will be some small movements in the hands of the two, which also greatly affects the degree of the two. In the end, when the two were still two or three meters away from the ball, the ball had rolled out of the bottom line, and Lazio took the goal.
Owen shook his hand helplessly, regretting that he couldn't catch the ball. However, Owen still gave a thumbs up to Gerrard in midfield.
Peruzzi looked at his teammates in front of him, and immediately kicked the ball out, and the ball flew quickly to the midfield, where it was picked up by Baggio.
"Dino handed the ball to Cesa, and Cesar handed the ball to Muzi, who distributed the ball to Paul, who was on the side, and had a good chance, Paul had the option to shoot at this point."
Di Canio is a veteran player with a lot of experience in the game, so he naturally doesn't need to be reminded by the commentator, as early as when Muzi passed the ball, Di Canio suddenly met the ball, pressed his back against Yepes behind him, and immediately shot with his right foot.
As early as the moment Muzzi passed, Dudek was ready to make a save. At the moment when Di Canio shot, Dudek subconsciously fell sideways, stretched out his left hand and hit the ball, and the ball suddenly changed its trajectory and rolled towards the goal.
Reese got ahead of Muzi and kicked the ball into the midfield, temporarily defusing the crisis in front of Liverpool's goal.
As if to verify Lao Bei's guess before the game, Lazio did not play conservatively because of Liverpool's strength, on the contrary, in the shouts and cheers of tens of thousands of fans, they began to attack the Liverpool goal. Obviously, Lazio also want to break the deadlock on the pitch and take the initiative sooner.
In the face of this situation, Liverpool, who had been prepared for a long time, did not seem to panic at all, and under the leadership of captain Hyypia, they defused Lazio's attacks again and again. One or two of those dangerous shots were also blocked by Dudek's brilliant saves.
"Z~ dead, what the hell is going on, when did Liverpool become a Serie A team?" Seeing Yepes cut off Cesa's shot again, the commentator couldn't help but say depressedly. Because at this time, Liverpool is showing everyone that they are excellent defensively, you must know that when Liverpool has the right to defend, even Arsenal and Manchester United cannot score, let alone Lazio.
At this time, when everyone on the scene watched Lazio's attacks being defused by Liverpool's tight defense again and again, they suddenly had a thought, that is, this Liverpool is not a British team, because Liverpool does not play long crosses, but only concentrates on their own defense. Compared with the traditional English team, Liverpool is more like a Serie A team at this time, you must know that Serie A is famous for its defense, although there are also giants in Serie A who can play very exciting, even crazy attacks. But defense is the representative and symbol of Serie A, when it comes to Serie A, it will be associated with defense, and when it comes to defense, it will not be unthinking of Serie A.
At this time, watching Liverpool's defense play very skillfully, not giving Lazio any chance at all, seeing this, Lazio fans are not only depressed, but can only boo the sky to express their dissatisfaction.
