Chapter 211 Lazio's Weakness

"Yes, this is just the first one. I believe there will be more in the future."

With Lampard's last goal, Arsenal finally defeated Schalke 3 0:04, and finally got three points in the Champions League group stage, and now ranks third.

Panathinaikos surprisingly drew at home to Lazio with four points apiece.However, Lazio's goal difference has an advantage, temporarily ranking first in the group.

Although two games in the Champions League have passed, Schalke 04, who is ranked last and has not scored a point, still has a chance to compete for the qualifying place.

The next game will have to wait until two weeks later. During this time, they have to be ready to go to the Olympia Football Stadium in Italy, and there is still a tough battle with Lazio.

In the Champions League schedule, there is a considerable difference between whether they can reach the second stage of the group stage.

Not to mention the lack of exposure, the amount of prize money lost due to missing six games is not small.

Lazio and Schalke 04 are Arsenal's important enemies in the second stage of the group stage.

But even Shao Bo didn't expect that Panathinaikos defeated them in the first game, and then drew with Lazio, who did not stop signing after winning the double crown, in the away game.

It seems that Panathinaikos is likely to become a dark horse in the Champions League this season.

Too bad, a dark horse, three league champions, all gathered in one group.Shao Bo really wanted to scold UEFA's draw staff.

Since the pressure of the European war is not small, Shao Bo will no longer deliberately pursue the unbeaten league.

However, what is gratifying is that they have won valuable victories whether they are dealing with the newly promoted Charlton at home or going to Ewood Park to play against Blackburn away.

Even if Blackburn's club manifesto is to "use skill and strength", but they are not as good as Arsenal in terms of skills, and they are not enough to make a comeback in terms of strength. They can only be suppressed without temper.

Strong teams need such qualities. If they want to win the championship, at least they can't lose points on the rookie team.

Although Charlton was promoted this season, Chelsea and Liverpool both capsized here and lost three points.

There is also a League Cup between the two league games. The schedule is so dense that Arsenal can only decide to reluctantly give up the League Cup.

What Shao Bo didn't expect was that in the League Cup, they selected several players promoted from the youth training team, but they still won the match against Burnley with difficulty.

Anyway, it is also a team in England's second-tier league. Although Burnley is only a newly promoted team in the League One, they are also enough to compete with Arsenal's youth players.

In the UK, there is no fixed national day.There used to be a BBC TV station that conducted a special survey on this, and the results of the selection of days varied, so far there is no unified statement.

Generally, either choose the Queen's birthday, or choose a day with good weather nearby.Anyway, the queen's real birthday can be different from the "official birthday". Shao Bo has lived here for many years, so he is too lazy to complain.

This is different from China!
In the Premier League, naturally no one will give Shao Bo the National Day holiday that belongs to China. Shao Bo, who has no golden leave, can only lead the players to spend it in Rome.

"Just take it as a way to travel while playing the game. Haven't been to Rome during the National Day holiday? Haha, I haven't been either."

It will be some time before the next World Cup qualifier for the Chinese team, so Shao Bo recruited Sun Jihai back.

Coincidentally, only the two of them in the whole team could understand the meaning of the [-]th. Taking advantage of the end of the adaptive training in Rome, Shao Bo gave him and himself a half-day vacation.

Both Roma and Lazio have entered the Champions League match, which puts a lot of pressure on the two teams sharing the same stadium.

However, fans who live near Rome are blessed. They can watch the Champions League match at the Olympia Stadium in Rome every time the Champions League game is played.Of course, it is not certain whether it is a match between Rome or Lazio.

Had it not been for the ownership of the Rome Olympia Stadium in the hands of the local city council, I am afraid the two teams would not accept this "share a stadium" proposal.

At that time, in order to ease the financial pressure on the construction of Wembley Stadium, the FA suggested that Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur jointly rent the new stadium after it was completed, but it was categorically rejected by both teams at the same time.

I don't know which brainless FA official came up with this idea, but the fans of the two teams in North London hated this unknown official for a few days.

Although the ownership of the Olympia Stadium in Rome does not belong to the two clubs, Serie A is still in a state of "money is not spent", and they will not maintain the dilapidated lawn of the stadium that has been used.

Financially, this is nothing compared to the high salaries of many players. More importantly, you can't be ashamed in front of your rivals in the same city!
Lazio and Rome share the same city, and from the name, we can also know its origin.

When Shao Bo was just a fan, he joked with his friends on the forum, saying that one of the two teams is the city team and the other is the provincial team.Speaking of which, Rome also has the qualifications of a municipality directly under the central government, and conflicts and frictions between the two teams must be indispensable.

The Rome Olympia Stadium, which is large enough to accommodate 8 people to watch the game at the same time, also often has troubles caused by extreme fans.But fortunately, the mafia here is not too rampant, and it is the capital of Italy anyway, and the pressure on law and order is mainly from those restless fans.

Now after years of rectification, the vast majority of England fans are no longer the "hooligans" in the traditional impression, and the FA can also be proud of this.

But it is a pity that most of the credit for this is in the hands of the club.

If it weren't for the fact that the major clubs have greatly increased ticket prices over the years, causing quite a few fans to be unable to afford full-season tickets and leaving the space for the emerging middle class, I am afraid that the management of football hooligans will still be a problem.

Eriksson, who led the team to two consecutive Serie A championships, is still serving as the head coach of Lazio this season. If he can win three consecutive championships, not only will Eriksson be able to engrave his name here, but also represent With the prosperity of football in central Italy.

Although Serie A had the saying of "Seven Sisters" during the "Little World Cup", looking at the history of Serie A, it is still strong in the north and weak in the south.

The traditional industrial areas are all in the north of Italy, and their economic strength is also stronger.

Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Juventus, the three strong teams occupy more than half of the honors in Serie A.

If Lazio can win the league championship again this season, then they will be the fourth pole in Italian football!And their overall honor will completely surpass that of arch-rival Roma, which is a very attractive goal for Lazio as a whole.

So among the four teams in the Champions League group, Lazio is probably the team that pays the least attention to the Champions League.

Arsenal still have at least one goal of reaching the second stage of the group stage, while Lazio is completely focusing more on the domestic league.

Lazio, like Arsenal, usually plays a 442 formation, which is different from the mainstream Serie A teams they are in.

Conversely, Rome's 352 formation is the choice of most Italian teams.However, Lazio's style of play is also more international, not limited to a corner of the Apennine Peninsula.

The pure Argentine attack line with the Italian defense line is also an important move for them to start going international, right?

At present, most teams no longer only focus on their own players. In order to expand the market, the introduction of foreign players is the mainstream choice.

Moreover, Argentine players have always followed the rhythm of Italy. Maradona is the most famous example.

However, although Lazio has won the league championship for two consecutive years, it has introduced defensive iron guard Stam this season and Valencia captain Mendieta who has entered the Champions League final for two consecutive years.

Just these two people counting the transfer fee and total salary will be close to [-] million US dollars, but Lazio fans don't like to come to Rome Olympia Stadium to watch football recently.

They are not happy!
In the last round of competition, the derby battle between Roma and Lazio started.Anyway, the two teams share the same stadium, and the difference between home and away games is only in the number of spectators.

This time, according to the schedule, it is Lazio's home court. They only reserved the traditional south stand for Roma fans, hoping to see the scene of beheading the derby opponent here.

As a result, Mendieta, who spent more than half a billion U.S. dollars, played completely worthless, and Lazio eventually lost to their opponents with a score of 3:1.

After the game, the angry Lazio fans wanted to rush to the field to beat Mendieta, but they were suppressed by the Roman police who had experienced such scenes for many years.

Some Roma fans who wanted to take advantage of the chaos were also brought into the bureau by the sharp-eyed police.

Whether it is Stankovic, Mendieta or Stam, their transfer fees can break Arsenal's signing record, but they did not bring qualitative changes to the rich and powerful Lazio. Reduced the combat effectiveness of the team.

Although Crespo is the golden boot of Serie A, for a championship-level team, the integrity of the lineup is more important than a particularly good player.

It is because of the loss of several important "lineup" level players that Lazio has no champion strength on paper, but they have lost successively in the near future, and even lost to the mortal enemy of Derby.

Although Shao Bo visited the famous Colosseum during his half-day vacation, he still took out a stack of materials and studied Lazio's weaknesses while enjoying the beautiful afternoon at the open-air cafe on the roadside.

It was the same when Shao Bo played against Schalke 04. Without this attitude, how could Shao Bo control the team at such a young age, win successive championships and win victories?

　Thanks to Kuangke, I looked up to the sky, and several new book friends for their support. Tuesday is also the third update... I can finally relax recently, and everyone is very busy at the end of the year.
