Chapter 199: Champions League Draw (4/134)

Villas-Boas made a second-half change, replacing the underperforming Aymar and liked to use this change to strengthen the attacking organisation in midfield.

But it didn't work.

The difference in the quality of the players allowed Lazio to control the situation in the midfield steadily.

Then keep attacking Porto's goal.

In the 67th minute, Barzaretti scored Lazio's third goal of the game.

The score was finally fixed at 3:0.

On aggregate, Lazio eliminated Porto 4:1.

In the post-match press conference, Villas-Boas was silent about his pre-match words.

Chang Sheng didn't want to let him go.

No one can ride on his neck to shit and pee, then pat his ass and go.

Since you insulted me before the game, you have to be prepared to be retaliated by me. Not only did I beat you in the game, but I was going to spit my saliva back!

Mourinho said in front of reporters after the game: "Now I know who Villas-Boas is, the guy I won 3-0, right? ”

Fortunately, Boas was not at the scene, otherwise he would not have to lift the table when he heard this?

Then Chang Sheng began to complain about the old coach Ferreira, who had been dismissed before.

"It's a shame that Ferreira told the truth and was sacked by the club...... The truth is that Porto and Lazio are not teams in the same class, so it should be an honour for them to draw at home to us. ”

Then Chang Sheng left the press conference with his head held high, and his Lazio also shook off their opponents and entered the quarterfinals with their heads held high.

After the Champions League fixture, Lazio will welcome Bari at home.

In the first half of the season, Lazio scored 13 goals away from home.

A bloody case was created.

This incident made Chang Sheng a little unhappy with Barry, because Barry didn't look for him to mess with him. It is purely a standard example of being shot while lying down.

If you change to Roma, Utus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid...... The team that covers up scores thirteen goals and scores, it's not a big deal.

Barry and Lazio are not worried in history......

Although I feel sorry for Barry for the record-breaking 13:0 in the first half of the season, Chang Sheng doesn't plan to change it back at home.

Even if it's a different lineup. Lazio have also been positive at their home turf.

In the end, they beat Bari 2-1 at their home stadium.

Barry's goal. It's really not Lazio who deliberately let them in......

But Lazio fans also have a lot of love, when Bari scored. The stadium was filled with applause from Lazio fans, who were showing their respect for Bari in this way.

After being beaten 13-0 by Lazio in the first half of the season, he was able to show tenacity against Lazio in the second half of the season. And in the end, he scored a goal on his own...... Such a team is indeed worthy of respect.

Of course, this also has something to do with the empty North Stand.

If the unteachable fans were there, I am afraid that this time would be a flood of boos and scolding against Barry......

The indoctrination sees it as a battle.

In fact, this is nothing more than recklessness.

※※※

The day after the 2-1 win over Bari, the day came for the players to be excited.

The Lazio team first visited St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.

They were cordially received there by Pope Tux XVI.

Many of the players are devout Christians and are thrilled to have face-to-face contact with the Pope.

Atheists like Chang Sheng, or converts to other religions. It's like a tour.

It's a tourist attraction anyway......

And Chang Sheng also knows what the Pope invited the Lazio football team for naming for.

The support of the Holy See played a large role in the fight against non-sectarians.

He still has to remember something, no matter what the purpose of the people is, he helped himself anyway.

Therefore, Chang Sheng was in the face of Pope Tux XVI. It still looks very respectful.

He didn't respect the pope, he respected an elder who helped him.

Pope Tux XVI said that he was also a football fan and liked to watch good football matches. Lazio is excited about the football they play and he loves it......

In the end, he sent an invitation to Chang Sheng, hoping that Chang Sheng would make a cameo appearance in coaching a Vatican football team.

That's a big face.

Unless Chang Sheng has a stroke, it is impossible not to accept it.

So he immediately agreed, saying that it was his honor to be able to coach the bishops to play football......

The meeting between the two sides was in a harmonious atmosphere, which can be described as a joy for both guests and hosts.

In the end, the whole Lazio team took a group photo with the Pope, and Chang Sheng enjoyed special treatment, and he finally took a photo with Pope Tu XVI alone.

Throughout the meeting, Chang Sheng was the protagonist.

So you can see the attitude of the Holy See.

They did this meeting to support Chang Sheng.

The next day, a photograph of Pope Tux XVI holding Chang Sheng's hand and talking cordially appeared in the newspapers.

The previous speculations have been obtained, the popes have come out to support Chang Sheng, and the unteachable dogs still dare to bark?

You don't have to ask to know that the indoctrination is finished.

Three days later, the other four Champions League games were decided.

In this way, all eight teams participating in the quarter-finals of the Champions League have been released.

Subsequently, the draw for the quarter-finals and semi-finals took place in Basel, Switzerland.

According to media speculation, UEFA should hope that Lazio and Barcelona will meet in the Champions League final for the sake of gimmicks, so that it will be a peak matchup.

So Lazio and Barcelona should not be placed in the same zone.

The offer was made long before the start of the Champions League, due to the special relationship between Lazio and Barcelona.

But when the Champions League draw came out, everyone was surprised to find that Lazio and Barcelona were divided into the same zone!

Although they won't face each other in the quarter-finals, as long as they can make it past the quarter-finals, they will meet in the finals!

The media was also surprised that UEFA did not let Lazio and Barcelona meet in the final.

Barcelona's opponent in the quarter-finals is Arsenal.

Lazio's opponent in the quarter-finals was CSKA Moscow.

Barcelona have a tougher opponent. Lazio's opponents are like going through the motions......

As soon as the results of the draw came out, some media commented: "Chang is already waiting for Guardiola in the semi-finals!" ”

CSKA Moscow is unlikely to pose the slightest threat to Lazio, even on their home turf.

Because now is not the time for the cold winter wax moon. The first leg of the quarter-finals kicks off on April 6, which is considered Moscow. The temperature is also not as low as in winter. And most importantly...... It won't snow.

So even at home, CSKA Moscow is unlikely to pose any threat to Lazio.

The draw was tantamount to sending the ever-winning Lazio straight to the semi-finals.

Against this naked favoritism. Chinese fans have ridiculed: "It's really a father's love!" ”

※※※

Chang Sheng himself didn't expect this draw to be so good...... He couldn't help but wonder if he really took the place of Barcelona in Platini's mind, right?

That's ridiculous......

"CSKA Moscow? It's a strong team, and we'll take it seriously......," Chang Sheng said in an interview with reporters after the draw results.

Then there were Italian media outlets who said: "Seriously? I think CSKA Moscow wants you not to take it seriously......"

In general, though. The media is less concerned about the quarter-finals, they are more concerned about the semi-finals.

It shouldn't be difficult for Lazio to get past CSKA Moscow.

The main thing is whether Barcelona can knock out Arsenal.

If Barcelona can also knock out Arsenal, it will surely be the most exciting matchup in the world!

The story between these two teams and these two people is enough to tell for three days and three nights.

Some even hope that Arsenal will voluntarily give up......

The whole world is looking forward to a game that you can't spoil ......

Naturally, this statement will upset Arsenal supporters.

But unfortunately, Arsenal's current strength is really not comparable to Barcelona.

Although Arsenal are stronger than CSKA Moscow, it does not mean that they can beat Barcelona.

Especially. When Pep Guardiola knew they could meet Chang Win in the semi-finals as long as they made it past Arsenal...... Arsenal are even less likely to beat Barcelona.

Just as the whole of Europe has been looking forward to this game for a long time, Guardiola himself has been looking forward to this game for a long time.

Even longer than Europe has been expecting.

European football began to expect this match after Pep Guardiola's Barcelona won the treble.

And Pep Guardiola started when he left the Lazio club.

He wants to prove that his philosophy is right and that more possession leads to more wins. More possession and less conceding. Ball control is king!

Even if he led Barcelona to win the treble and the six crowns, he did not have the slightest pride in his heart.

Because he knows that these champions have no gold content.

As long as they don't beat Lazio, they don't count as real winners.

Last season, Lazio had a big change of blood, which gave him a chance. It can be said that no matter how much the outside world praises him, he always thinks that he won the championship while Lazio was napping...... That doesn't tell the whole story.

You have to beat Lazio head-on when you meet on a narrow road to prove that your title is valuable and meaningful.

Only then can it have gold content.

Otherwise...... The Six Crowns are also meaningless.

Others think he's in it for the championship.

Only he knew in his heart that he was for the idea in his heart.

Beat Lazio, who is always winning and beating him, to prove that he is right, to prove that Barcelona is the strongest football!
