Chapter 18 Unbelievable
When Icardi scored, Chang Sheng, who was originally sitting on the coaching bench, suddenly rushed out, and with him were other coaches and substitute players.
Lazio's bench suddenly became a sea of joy.
Everyone is celebrating the goal.
They were in sharp contrast to the lifeless Juventus bench and coaching bench over there.
Chang Sheng said before the game that they must beat Juventus, and they were still a little worried. After all, football is not what you say it will be.
They have their own lesson rules and do not change according to your personal wishes.
But now it seems that football still listens to winning words.
In this game, they have a chance!
※ ※ ※
When the game restarted, the Juventus players were still a little bit out of their minds.
Lazio, on the other hand, pursued the victory and made Juventus very embarrassed on the court.
For a while, they could only fight with exhaustion and had no power to fight back.
As for defeating Lazio, no one is thinking about it now. They just think that it would be good if Juventus could not lose this game...
A draw is the best outcome.
Anyway, even if it was a draw, Lazio didn't beat them. In that case, Lazio would have not won at Juventus' home court for four consecutive seasons...
Thinking this way will naturally make you a little unambitious, but now Juventus doesn't care about that much.
Even so, Juventus still failed to prevent them from conceding the second goal.
Just in the seventh minute after they conceded the first goal, Lazio launched a violent offensive that lasted for seven consecutive minutes, finally causing Juventus to collapse at the last moment.
The second goal conceded was due to Juventus's own mistake in the defense. Their defender made a mistake at the end and did not kick far at the end. As a result, the football just fell at the feet of Icardi. Di didn't hesitate and stayed awake enough when something unexpected happened.
Facing this big pie falling from the sky, Icardi did not directly shoot from long range, nor did he try to break through with the ball.
Both of these are wrong approaches.
The most correct thing to do is to pass the ball!
Juventus' defense noticed a mistake. They are eager to make amends. Naturally, they don't care about anything at this time. They just want to plug the loopholes on Icardi's side.
Then they don't care about loopholes in other places.
At this time, for Icardi himself, the defensive pressure he faces is very high, but this may not be the case for other Lazio players.
So Icardi's first choice is to pass the ball!
He targeted the holes in Juventus' defense,
He just stood there and passed the football.
Mario Gotze appeared in the space like lightning, and then he received the ball!
"Gotze! Mario Gotze!"
as the narrator exclaims. There were loud shouts throughout the Alpi Stadium.
Because they all know this is Lazio's perfect opportunity!
Then in turn, it is a very dangerous moment for Juventus!
Juventus' center back quickly came over to cover.
Gotze did not give him a chance to put himself on the ball and put the football inside. Then shoot decisively!
Palin blocked the near corner, but the football hit the far corner!
The football passed by Palin, who was moving towards the near corner. Palin wanted to change direction and center of gravity to pounce on the ball, but was a beat too slow and couldn't reach anything.
The football flew past his fingertips and headed towards the back corner.
All Palin could do was the same as everyone else, which was to watch the football fly past, hit the inside of the far post, and then bounce into the goal!

"2:0!! Unbelievable! 2:0! Lazio led Juventus by two goals in just ten minutes on the road! Is this really the home court of Juventus!"
The narrator asked this question. This is also a question that many people who watched this game have.
Is this really Juventus' home court?
You must know that Juventus performed very well at home.
They have been undefeated at home for twenty consecutive games!
Last season, they defeated their biggest enemy Lazio at home.
Such a home performance will naturally make the media and fans full of confidence in Juventus.
That's why many people think that Lazio will lose to Juventus again on the road.
Unexpectedly, less than ten minutes into the game, Lazio was already leading by two goals...
Is this really Juventus' home court?
There were reporters in the media box who grabbed their hair and looked a little crazy - they were the same reporters who had been talking down Lazio before. Ten minutes ago, they were against Juventus for defeating Lazio at home. There is no doubt at all.
But now, like what they're doing right now, they're all freaking out and pulling their hair.
Because Lazio, who they thought had no hope, actually scored two goals in less than ten minutes!
What a great start!
Can Juventus come back?
Many people doubt this.

"Lazio leads Juventus by two goals in the away game! It's really unexpected! What's even more incredible is that the game has only started less than ten minutes!"
Amid the cheers of the commentator, Gotze, who scored the goal, opened his arms and ran wildly. He fought back to Lazio's i-ohlian team, and then hugged Chang Sheng!
He dedicated this goal to the boss, and also dedicated the victory in this game to the boss.
Ever since he was brought to Lazio from Borussia Dortmund by Chang Sheng at the age of sixteen, he has never left the team. It has been thirteen years now.
Apart from Handanovic and Jose Passarella, he is the player who has played for Lazio the longest.
The twenty-nine-year-old is now Lazio's second captain.
In thirteen years, he experienced consecutive victories with Lazio, and also encountered the trough of not winning a championship for two consecutive years.
But no matter what. He is among the top three players in the world. Relying on Lazio's mature tactical system, Mario Gotze has always been at the forefront of European players of his generation, and his various technical statistics reflect this.
During this period, he also encountered a lot of temptations. After all, for a player like him, it would be incredible if no other team was interested in him.
There have been many transfer rumors about him. But he never left Lazio.
In other words, he has never left his boss Chang Sheng.
In the beginning, he was willing to come to Lazio because he admired the constant victory. Even if there was no professional contract to sign, it didn't matter to him. As long as the boss is still in Lazio, he will not leave Lazio.
Just, next season. Chang Sheng is about to leave Lazio, and where will Mario Gotze, a player in his prime, go. Also very eye-catching.
Gotze used this celebration to express his feelings for his boss.
Some media are already speculating that whichever team will win next season, Gotze will most likely be on that team.
Although Lazio may not be willing to let go of their core frontcourt, it is not sweet to be tough. If Gotze must leave, I believe Lazio will not be embarrassed, not to mention that they can make a lot of money from it. What about the transfer fee?
After seeing this scene, a commentator sighed with emotion: "The Lazio team is really maintained by the personal charm of one person who always wins. It has not fallen apart for so many years. Otherwise, when Lazio's foundation is not stable, they would have been long ago. It was completely divided by other teams... But we will not see this heartwarming scene next season, and Lazio is also facing the fate of being dismembered..."
There are many players in Lazio who are willing to stay at Lazio because of their personal charisma and their low salary. Once Chang Sheng leaves, as long as the Lazio club cannot offer a high salary that satisfies them, then it is normal to leave.
Now among the giants in Europe, Lazio's average salary is the lowest.
This ensures Lazio's financial health. But it's also unfair to those players.
If it weren't for a winning team, these players would have rebelled long ago.
After the winning team leaves next season, Lazio's future is indeed worrying...

In the crowd, Chang Sheng grabbed Gotze's hair, rubbed it, and said in his ear: "Good job, Mario. Good job!"
For Gotze, being able to get personal praise from his boss is more important than anything else.
So he smiled happily.
Then Chang Sheng patted his head: "Don't be too happy, Mario. You know I won't be satisfied!"
Gotze immediately said: "Yes, I know, boss! Score as many goals as you can! No mercy!"
Chang Sheng smiled and said: "Yes, what is soft-handedness? We don't know!"

Juventus is also a wealthy team after all, as the most successful team in Italy. Their players are not incompetent either.
After conceding a goal, they were slapped with a sap.
But after conceding the second goal, they returned to normal.
Anyway, they are now two goals behind and have nothing to lose.
There is no need for them to worry about gains and losses anymore, just give it a try!
So when the game started again, Juventus returned to normal. They launched a fierce attack into Lazio's half, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible.
Everyone has clear goals and knows what they should do, so their performance will naturally be good.
Juventus fans saw that their team was performing normally, so they rekindled the flame of hope in their hearts and cheered for their team desperately in the stands, hoping to help the team defeat Lazio at home.
For a time, the Alpi Stadium was filled with cheers from Juventus fans.
This stadium was a little quiet after Lazio scored two goals, and now it has become like Juventus' home ground again. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
