Chapter 207: The Champions League Final Four That Is Different from Memories (Second Update)

The night before, newcomers Barcelona stole Lazio's edge, with hundreds of fans and dozens of journalists underlining how much attention they have. But tonight, Lazio completely stole the show from Barcelona.

It's all about the pre-match press conference on TV, and it's the same how you change the channel.

Chang Sheng, as the head coach of Lazio, has to admire his performance at the press conference - Jiang is still old and spicy! This is a war of words, and the master is better than the apprentice!

At the press conference, Chang Sheng not only refuted the fallacies of the Catalan media, but also invented the term "Western Super League" for everyone.

The Italian media are now using the term to ridicule Barcelona.

"La Liga side Barcelona arrives in Rome!"

"Spanish Super League team Barcelona trained outside the lawn outside the hotel ......"

"What we are sending to you is some training footage of the Western Super League team adapting to the venue......

This strong sense of sarcasm can be heard by everyone.

"In the confrontation between students and teachers, at least in the pre-match war of words, Lazio has the upper hand."

So declared the Italian media.

Pep Guardiola is also watching TV for updates.

After many years in Italy, he could speak and listen to Italian.

When he saw the video of the press conference, he smiled helplessly.

Playing this, he really can't play well......

Although he has been working hard to demand himself, it seems that he is still far from normal compared to usual......

And it can be seen from this press conference that Chang really intends to go all out this time.

Of course, this is what Guardiola expected.

Just see it with your own eyes. I still feel a little embarrassed.

Back then, he followed Chang Sheng's side, watching Chang Sheng spit on those opponents again and again, launching provocations, and finally winning. If you win the group, you can't spare the other party...... At that time, he didn't feel it at all.

But now. When being spitted. The object of provocation and ridicule became his own team. That feeling is really complicated.

No one wants to hear bad words, and Pep Guardiola is no exception.

Even if he has a good relationship with Chang Sheng, Guardiola feels uncomfortable listening to his words.

But he also knew that Chang Sheng did not have a personal grudge against him.

And it was done purely for the sake of defeating the enemy.

Because of the feelings for Lazio and Chang Sheng. Let him want to hate Chang Sheng and Lazio ruthlessly, and he is really a little difficult to do.

Anyway, those ugly words, if he had to say it in the pre-match press conference, he would never be able to say it. The previous words were already his limit.

So it was hard for him to imagine how Chang could have said such a thing.

How on earth did he manage to completely leave behind our old days and put me against other hateful opponents?

Pep Guardiola couldn't figure it out.

It was at this time that assistant coach Vilanova came knocking on the door: "Pep, it's time for a tactical meeting." ”

That's when Pep Guardiola came to his senses. He picked up a clip on his desk and got up and followed Villanova to the conference room of the hotel where he was staying.

※※※

Chang Sheng ended the tactical meeting early.

Or maybe he didn't drive it long at all.

The one who should have been confessed has already been explained countless times in training.

Together, they watched Rudy Gonzalez's carefully edited footage of the Barcelona game, focusing on the characteristics of their players, and then disbanded.

Barcelona's tactics are in the same vein as Lazio's. Even the same as the base.

So it is impossible to study the tactics of the other side.

Even Barcelona's tactics are even more backward than Lazio's, and the version is older.

Lazio are now playing an upgraded version of tiki-taka, and if Barcelona must return to the traditional tiki-taka, it must be playing the tactics that Lazio played before and are now eliminated...... The reason why they are strong is not because of their tactics. It's about the players. Messi is the number one player in football today, and he is becoming more and more versatile, in addition to dribbling and penetrating, he can also shoot and pass.

Such a player is very dangerous.

If he had been in good shape, perhaps he would have been able to destroy Lazio alone.

So Lazio should think about how to curb the performance of these star players.

To curb Messi's play first, he has to cut off his ties with Xavi and Iniesta.

It is necessary to organize Barcelona to pass the football smoothly.

But it's a defensive tactic.

Chang Sheng intends to play offense instead of defense on his home turf.

He wants Pep Guardiola to see the power of this Lazio team!

※※※

The reason why Chang Sheng ended the tactical meeting early was because he had to catch up with another Champions League semi-final.

Bayern Munich hosts Inter Milan.

The Champions League semi-finals between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich will be played one day before the Champions League semi-finals between Lazio and Barcelona.

After all, the good ones must be saved until the end......

They also went to Munich by bus, and the travel will definitely affect the team's form.

At this time, the Champions League is already much worse than the season in Chang Sheng's memory.

For example, he remembers that this season's Champions League semi-finals were Barcelona, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Lyon.

But Lyon is gone, replaced by Lazio.

And it wasn't Barcelona and Inter Milan either, Barcelona's opponent became Lazio.

Inter Milan went to fight Bayern Munich......

The Champions League final was played early.

Nor can a constant win mean that Inter Milan will definitely win Bayern Munich.

Because judging from the recent form of Inter Milan, they are very different from Inter Milan in that time and space......

In the end, Inter Milan lost 1-3 away to Bayern Munich, and Inter Milan's road to the final was overshadowed.

In the memory of winning many years, Inter Milan, who reached the final, beat Bayern Munich 2-0 very easily, and Bayern Munich did little to make a decent attack.

But in this time and space, Bayern Munich performed very well, and Ronaldo scored twice in the game.

He was a big part of the team's ability to beat Inter Milan at home.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, looked weak on the road.

On the one hand, there is the fatigue of the journey. Makes the players look listless.

On the other hand, Chang Sheng thought to himself: it should be the defeat in the league that affected them.

In that time, Inter Milan won the league and also won the Coppa Italia. In the Champions League semi-finals, there were two legs of heart-wrenching matches. The "Cosmic Team", which was considered invincible, was eliminated, and morale was high. At their peak, they don't think there is a team in the world that can beat them.

With that strong confidence, they came out on top in the Champions League final, so what's so unusual about beating Bayern Munich?

It's different today. Lazio in the Carabao Cup brushed up 10 points. Also lined up at Lazio's home stadium to welcome. If he played rudely, he was violently bombarded by the media all over Italy, and the head coach was rumored to be out of class...... After fighting for a season, it was found that it was empty, and the team's morale dropped seriously.

Even if they make it to the last four of the Champions League, the mentality is completely different.

Especially before the game against Bayern Munich, it was revealed that Moratti may fire Mourinho and Mourinho may leave Inter Milan. It is a serious destruction of morale.

Inter Milan's morale, which has suffered consecutive blows recently, has fallen to a low point.

Facing Bayern Munich away from home, of course, it will not be pleased.

There was also an away goal. It's already quite remarkable.

However, based on their performance in the first round, many people can't look favorably on them.

If nothing else, Bayern Munich will reach the Champions League final for the second season in a row.

Bayern Munich?

Chang Sheng looked at the Bayern Munich players celebrating the victory on TV and said in his heart.

Just right. That's what he's hoping to face in the final.

If it's against Inter Milan, it's really boring, it's already met twice in the league, twice in the Coppa Italia, and then in the Champions League final...... I'm really going to throw up.

And Bayern Munich is a good final logarithm.

Because when Lazio swept across Europe, there was only one team that had played against each other that did not win, and this team was Bayern Munich.

In the 2006-2007 Champions League season, Lazio met Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, and as a result, Bayern Munich played a 2:2 at home, almost losing not to mention, and the opponent also got two away goals.

At the time, no one believed that Lazio still had a chance and that he would definitely be eliminated from the competition.

went to the away side, Lazio also responded with a 2:2 and stubbornly dragged the game into a penalty shootout.

But in the end, in the penalty shoot-out, Lazio's captain Jose Passarella kicked the ball into the sky to send Bayern Munich to the semi-finals.

Next, last season, Lazio met Bayern Munich again, this time in the semi-finals.

Because of the fierce fight with Manchester United in the last round, Lazio suffered heavy casualties, and in the end, they couldn't even make up a squad of 18 people, and lost 1:3 to Bayern Munich away.

After returning to the home stadium, they played to a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich. The aggregate score was 2:4 and he was eliminated from the competition.

So much so that when Lazio's life was at its most prominent, the German media said with disdain that a team like Lazio was not invincible, and they also had nemesis. Their nemesis is the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich!

These two encounters were also cited as evidence.

And this time, if Bayern Munich can reach the final, it will definitely let Bayern Munich see the truly powerful Lazio.

What nemesis?

That's just two accidents!

※※※

The match between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan was quickly forgotten.

Because that's where the rest comes in!

Lazio hosts Barcelona!

The next day everyone was talking and looking forward to the game.

Media from all over the world gathered in Rome, and hundreds of different TV stations followed the match.

The pinnacle showdown of European football, although it is a pity that the final is staged in advance, is still the focus of everyone's attention.

In the end, it was the Dream Three team that defeated Lazio to reach the final and become the first team to successfully defend the title after the Champions League was restructured.

Or does it prove that the teacher is stronger than the student, and the blue eagle flutters its wings again?
