Football: Abandoned by the Chinese national football team, I became the best in the world

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

"The draw ceremony will start soon!"

"Look which one we are!"

"Oh! Sh**t! We are the first to be drawn!"

"Oh no! I have a bad feeling!"

"It's not good! We can even double-kill Real Madrid! We will kill anyone we meet!"

"That's right! We need to have such momentum!"

"Okay! Stop talking nonsense! We will draw our opponent next!"

In Rome, in a lounge at the Lazio training base, all the players are waiting for the Champions League knockout round of 16 match!

At this time, the Lazio players are quiet, waiting for the result of the draw!

"Bang!"

A small ball was picked up, and it said: Chelsea!

"Damn! I knew it would definitely give us a strong team!"

"Can you be more ambitious! If you want to make it to the end, don't pick your opponents!"

"Can we make it to the end?"

"How do we know if we don't try?! Who are we afraid of!"

"That's right! Who are we afraid of?! Just rush in!"

Lazio's opponent in the Champions League knockout round of 16 is Chelsea!

Such a draw result still caused an uproar in the lounge!

Some players think that such a draw result is terrible!

If Lazio draws a weaker opponent, there is hope to move forward again!

But it's hard to say when they meet Chelsea!

Not to mention, this schedule is home first and away later!

This is not a favorable schedule!

However, there are also some other players who think that they should step on strong teams to get to the top!

This is the highest gold content!

When your goal is the final championship, there is no reason to pick your opponent!

Because you will always meet strong teams in the end!

"It seems that the players' thoughts are not completely unified!"

Inzaghi stood at the door of the lounge and saw this scene, and smiled faintly.

"Normal!"

"After all, the best record in our team's history is to enter the top 16 of the Champions League, and it also stopped in the quarter-finals!"

"In the knockout stage, the intensity of the game is definitely different from the group stage!"

"You don't need to win every game in the group stage!"

"But in the knockout stage, you have to fight for every game!"

The assistant coach echoed a few words.

"That's exactly the case!"

Inzaghi had a bottom line in his heart, and at the same time he felt a lot of pressure!

Next, it's time to make a decision!

In two days, it's the Italian Cup game, and Lazio's opponent is Juventus!

Inzaghi is ready to give up this game!

The Champions League knockout will start next month!

Fighting on three fronts is a bit beyond the burden of Lazio!

Moreover, actively giving up the Italian Cup game has another benefit!

That is, after sending Juventus to the Italian Cup semi-finals, Juventus will be more exhausted!

After all, Juventus also has to fight on three fronts!

At that time, Lazio may also have more advantages in the fight for the Serie A championship!

No team can avoid the impact of physical exhaustion, even if the team's lineup depth is very sufficient!

But there will still be a gap in strength between substitutes and starting players!

...

"Lin! Come here!"

Seeing that the players in the lounge have almost digested the results of the draw, Inzaghi sent the players to training, but kept Lin Feng!

Lin Feng is naturally a very special one in the team!

Some strategic ideas and thoughts of the Lazio team still need to be communicated with Lin Feng!

This is actually the difference between small teams and giants!

In giants, no matter how big the star is, it is impossible to have such treatment!

For the giants, they are the ones who choose the stars, not the stars who choose the giants!

But for small and medium-sized teams like Lazio, the stars will have more say in the team!

Some suggestions and ideas, the team management also needs to consider carefully!

After all, it is not easy for small and medium-sized teams to keep the stars!

"I am going to give up the Italian Cup front!"

"So that we can go all out for the Champions League and Serie A!"

"In the Champions League, my idea is to be able to enter the semi-finals!"

"And in Serie A, the team is going to compete with Juventus for the Serie A championship!"

Inzaghi told Lin Feng all the strategic goals of the team this season!

Lin Feng nodded.

It's a pity for Inzaghi to give up the Italian Cup,In this way, there is no way to compete for the Grand Slam!

However, Lin Feng also understands Inzaghi's considerations!

Giving up the Italian Cup is the most practical approach!

"No problem!"

"Coach! You point to where to hit!"

Lin Feng quickly expressed his opinion!

"Haha!"

"Okay!"

"It will be time to fight a tough battle soon!"

"Champions League knockouts... I really haven't played before!"

Inzaghi smiled faintly!

Whether it is a player or a head coach, Inzaghi is also experiencing the atmosphere of the Champions League knockouts for the first time!

In terms of experience, Inzaghi is also extremely lacking!

This may also be a weakness of the Lazio team!

The only one in the Lazio team who has experience in the Champions League knockouts is Klose!

An old man in the family is like a treasure!

I hope Klose's experience can help the team!

...

After determining the next strategic direction, Inzaghi quickly took action!

In the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup two days later, Inzaghi made a rotation of 11 players in the team!

Lin Feng also sat on the bench!

The opposing Juventus team also made a large rotation!

It can be seen that Juventus also pays great attention to the team's physical fitness!

It hopes to achieve the best results at the lowest cost!

If they really lose to Lazio, Juventus will not care too much!

The Italian Cup will appear to be a chicken rib in the eyes of the teams entering the Champions League knockout stage!

It is delicious to abandon it, but it is meatless to eat it!

The result of the game was not unexpectedly 0:1!

Lazio lost to Juventus by 1 goal at home!

The Lazio fans who came to the home court to watch the game were a little regretful, but understandable!

The next Champions League and Serie A games are the most important for the team!

…

On January 24, in the 21st round of Serie A, Lazio beat Chievo 4:1 at home!

Varela and Julius scored one more goal, and Klose scored twice again!

Lin Feng passed the ball to Varela more often in the game!

The three [anchor points] in the front court also made the opponent lose sight of the other in defense, leaving many loopholes!

The only shortcoming of this game was that Lin Feng lost another goal!

A little depressed, but harmless!

On January 31, in the 22nd round of Serie A, Lazio beat Udinese 1:0 away!

After entering February, Lazio ushered in a strong confrontation!

In the 23rd round of Serie A, Lazio played against Napoli at home!

After the New Year, Napoli's ranking in the Serie A standings has risen to third place!

Especially in terms of firepower on the offensive end, it seems that Lazio is not inferior to them at all!

Napoli obviously wants to challenge Lazio's second place in the Serie A standings!

Even challenge Juventus' top position!

After all, Lazio is only 1 point away from Juventus!

And Napoli is 4 points away from Lazio!

Such a difference is not big!

The victory or defeat of two games can change the ranking of the top three!

This time, Napoli is coming with great momentum!

If Lazio wants to have no worries in the Champions League knockout match in half a month, it must win this tough battle!
