The second match of the Champions League quarter-finals takes place on March 10, with two league games to go before that.

After returning to Rome, Chang Sheng didn't mention this matter.

Just let the team concentrate on preparing for the league.

In the 26th round, Lazio defeated Bologna 3-0 at home, which was the first match of the league.

The final match of the round of league fixtures is between Inter Milan and Roma.

As a result, after a fierce battle, Roma drew 3-3 away from Inter Milan.

The difference between the two sides widened again to six points.

Recently, it has been this rhythm on the base.

Either Inter Milan win and Lazio draw. Either Lazio win and Inter draw it.

Anyway, no one should try to completely shake off their opponents, but no one will lose hope.

The difference between six and four points, alternates.

Lazio are still ahead, but it's not reassuring.

Inter Milan is behind, but they are chasing after them.

In the 27th round, Lazio beat Napoli 2-0 away and Inter Milan also beat Genoa by the same score away from home.

It looks like this team is a bit of a buddy.

Although they are enemies, they have a tacit understanding.

This league game will be followed by the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Inter Milan travel to Manchester United, while Lazio host Arsenal.

※※※

Arsene Wenger didn't get carried away with the home win over Lazio, thinking it was remarkable like those idiot media.

Again, his goal is not to win just one game against Lazio.

His goal is to eliminate Lazio and reach the quarterfinals.

In fact, the situation is not good for Arsenal.

Arsenal won by just one goal because of their home advantage. It has to be said that this is a failure.

You also have to know that Arsenal is not playing defensive counter-attacks, with their attacking power, how can they only score one goal?

But Lazio really held on.

Therefore, Wenger admires Lazio's defense in this game, although their attack is wrong, but their defense is good.

This may be one of the reasons why Chang Sheng was calm after the defeat to Arsenal.

Because he also celebrates, losing only one goal away from home is not a failure.

Back at home, he had a chance.

Therefore, Arsenal are in full swing for this game.

Arsene Wenger is not going to play against the ever-wins, he has a one-goal lead in his hands. He just needs to be able to hold on to that advantage.

On top of the defense, then counterattack.

Arsenal have that because they have a very fast "little tiger" Walcott in their ranks.

This created opportunities for Arsenal to play defensive counter-attacks.

※※※

When the game started, Arsenal's defence was really tenacious.

They kept Lazio for thirty minutes without scoring a single goal.

That didn't make Arsenal supporters happy, though.

Actually, Arsenal fans watch this game when they watch. Whether it's those who go to the scene or watch the game live in front of the TV, they are all scared.

Lazio's offensive is too fierce!

They were really worried that their team would not be able to withstand it......

Even if they have lasted five minutes, they will worry that they will not be able to withstand ten minutes. After ten minutes, I began to worry that I would not be able to last twenty minutes. After 20 minutes, everyone still didn't dare to take it lightly, let alone take a breath or something. I'm afraid that I will be slapped in the face next.

Even if they managed to hold on for 30 minutes, the Arsenal fans were still nervous.

Equally nervous is Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

Lazio's offensive can be called crazy.

Their offensive came in waves, without pause at all.

Arsenal initially intended to get the ball and then go back and forth at the back. Control the pace and slow it down.

But Lazio didn't give them the opportunity to do so. As long as they get the ball on their feet in the backfield, it's a scramble, and it's like a bunch of mad dogs.

This style of play makes Arsenal feel uncomfortable.

They could only be forced into the rhythm of Lazio. style this rhythm, they are not familiar with......

Problems followed.

Arsene Wenger's brow furrowed as he watched from the sidelines. I haven't stretched.

His players worked hard to defend, but ...... He could tell on several occasions Lazio had pulled away from the void, but their strikers didn't take their chances.

Arsene Wenger can see that the winning strategy is to beat quality with quantity.

He is not afraid of his strikers squandering opportunities in Champions League matches. They were able to squander nine chances, and Lazio's midfield were able to create ten chances, always one of which could have resulted in a goal......

That's it for now.

In the first 30 minutes, Lazio's offensive was in full swing, and Arsenal seemed to be tormenting every minute and every second.

For Arsenal, conceding a goal might be a relief.

It means that they can finally stop having to work so hard.

Coming to Arsenal is not a team that is good at defending......

The idea of his coming is not to defend to the death, but to defend and counterattack.

As a result, at the beginning of the game, Lazio's powerful offensive directly knocked Arsenal's counterattack back, and the suppressed Arsenal couldn't raise their heads......

※※※

In the 34th minute, under the continuous attack, Arsenal's defense finally showed signs of collapse.

Barzaretti burst into the box after a one-two with Cavani on the edge of the box before bursting into the box and firing low.

The ball slipped into the back of goal from the feet of Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia.

"Barzaretti!! Lazio finally broke the deadlock! They equalized the aggregate! ”

There was a huge cheer at the Olympic Stadium.

Lazio fans had been holding back for the goal for too long, and they had been expecting a Lazio goal from the first minute.

As a result, I waited for thirty-four minutes.

Thirty-four minutes is not too late to score, but for Lazio fans, every minute of the game seems extraordinarily long.

When Barzaretti kicked the ball into Almunia's goal, everyone breathed a sigh......

This game, it's normal.

※※※

Lazio players were seen celebrating their goals. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's face is more like Mr. Bean, with furrows on his face, which is completely capable of trapping a mosquito.

The tactics of defensive counterattack persisted for thirty-four minutes before it was out of play.

The next step is to attack.

If Arsenal can score a goal away from home, they can take the initiative.

By the aggregate score, Arsenal will regain the lead, 2:1.

And Arsenal also had an away goal.

If Lazio want to advance, one more goal is not enough, they have to score two more.

In this way, Arsenal will have to be more relaxed.

And now it's an away game. As long as Arsenal scores, it is an away goal, and an away goal can be one and two.

That's Arsenal's hope.

The only concern is that Lazio are attacking so fiercely that they may not wait for Arsenal to score. They have already breached Arsenal......

But are there any other options now?

There is no other way but to attack.

If you don't attack, you're dead.

attack, there is still a chance to fight your way out of the encirclement.

Wenger gritted his teeth and gave the latest order.

Arsenal have changed their style of play as well.

The Arsenal players are actually quite welcoming of this change, defending is really not what they are good at, they are better at attacking......

It's just that the price is to be paid for by conceding a goal, which is indeed a bit high.

※※※

When the game resumes. Lazio kept attacking, they just equalised now and if they want to progress, they have to keep scoring.

Chang Sheng doesn't want to play penalty shootouts.

And Arsenal also changed their previous defensive counter-attacking tactics. He began to actively look for opportunities and play against Lazio.

Seeing this, Chang Sheng turned his head to look at Arsene Wenger.

He knew it was Arsene Wenger's decision, and it was a very reluctant decision.

Kick it like that. Right in the arms of Lazio.

If he were Arsene Wenger, he wouldn't want to do that.

It's too dangerous to attack.

If you want to compete in attack power...... Now everyone knows how well Lazio has an attack.

The teams against Lazio didn't end well.

However, Barzaretti scored a goal. Forcing Arsenal out, they have to fight Lazio to the death.

Because the previous 34 minutes of play have proved that Arsenal's defense alone cannot be defended. They conceded the ball in 34 minutes, the players' mentality will be unbalanced, the tactical thinking cannot be unified, some people want to defend, some people want to attack, what should I do?

In this case, Arsene Wenger must agree with the team and cannot allow this situation to continue or the team could collapse completely.

He chose to attack.

That's what Arsenal do best, but it's not necessarily right.

This is Arsene Wenger's helplessness, his Arsenal has insisted on artistic football for more than ten years, attacking football, and it is really not easy for them to suddenly shrink their defense and play like Inter Milan......

※※※

Arsenal have opted for what they do best, and the Arsenal players are comfortable playing.

If you are comfortable to play, you will naturally be able to play beautifully.

For a while, the scene looked good.

Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game said they had commanded ticket prices.

And the crowd in Europe applauded the game – they loved watching football like that!

However, for the two sides who meet on the pitch, they don't have time to enjoy any offensive football, artistic football......

They just want to kill each other now.

There were no more goals in the first half, and the score was 1-0 with Lazio in the lead.

In the second half, Lazio increased their pace, and Arsenal gradually couldn't keep up.

In the 69th minute, Lazio took advantage of a mistake in the Arsenal back line and scored with a header from Cavani, 2:0!

On aggregate, Lazio reversed and took a 2:1 lead!

"It was a decisive goal!" The narrator shouted. "Lazio took the lead! Their advantage in the score will translate into a psychological advantage! A team that plays at home now has a psychological advantage...... The next game will be very tough for Arsenal! ”
