Chapter 195 Looks Like There Is No Suspense? (5/21)

Now Lazio is using this trick against Chelsea.

Keep passing the ball and then make changes in rhythm. Fast and slow, Chelsea's defense was completely confused. Because it is not known where Lazio will form a breakthrough or a penetrating pass, Chelsea must defend every point.

But this is impossible.

Manpower is sometimes poor.

In the long run, Chelsea's defense can't last a game... no, it can't even make half a game.

Coupled with this game, Lazio has the belief that it must win.

Lazio's blue tide continued to beat and wash away, and Chelsea's levee collapsed in the 67th minute.

Modric suddenly picked up a pass. Falcao had his back to the attacking direction. He padded the football with his chest. The height just passed John Terry's head!

Terry originally planned to push Falcao out, but unexpectedly, the opponent used his chest to pad the football, and then turned around quickly!

Terry didn't resist Falcao, but seemed to have punched the air. He staggered and rushed forward.

At the same time, Falcao wiped past him!

"Beautiful!" The narrator shouted.

Falcao, who got rid of Terry's entanglement, did not continue to break through with the ball.

After the football fell, he volleyed directly into the air!

The football roared straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Although goalkeeper Petr Cech fought hard to save, Falcao's kick was heavy and the angle was tricky!

Football flies into Chelsea's goal for the second time!

"Falcao! Falcao - it's his ninth Champions League goal of the season! He's now the top scorer in the Champions League!"

"Brilliant goal! The escape before this was so creative and beautiful!"

The commentators shouted at the top of their voices.

They had to do this, because the Stadio Olimpico in Rome had been completely flooded by the wave of cheers!

They seem to be struggling to lift their heads,

Like a drowning man with his head out of the water breathing the air...

It must be loud enough for the audience in front of the TV to hear their commentary!

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!!" The Lazio fans in the stands were still cheering Falcao's nickname.

Falcao reached out to Lazio fans to like him, except that he was good at scoring goals. And there's his name.

His name means "Eagle" in Spanish, which happens to be the same as Lazio's nickname. So Lazio fans thought that Falcao was born to play for Lazio.

However, it is always awkward to shout "Eagle" to cheer for Falcao in the game, because "Eagle" refers specifically to the Lazio team.

To this end, Lazio fans thought of a way, they changed to call Falcao "Tiger". In this way, with Lazio winning one game after another and Falcao scoring goals one after another, the nickname "Tiger" also resounded throughout Europe.

This is different from Chang Sheng's memory.

Because this nickname was called by the River Plate fans.

But now before Falcao left River Plate, he didn't leave any deep marks on this team, and River Plate fans didn't even have time to like him. For them, Falcao is an ordinary River Plate player, who played for River Plate and then went to Europe. Just like his countless predecessors.

So, now Lazio fans invented the nickname "Tiger".

Chang Sheng listened to the cheers of these Lazio fans for Falcao in front of the coach's bench. Imagine how they will feel when they know that Falcao is no longer a Lazio player?

That must not be too pleasant...

However, Lazio has to be like this, ushering in the real rebirth of Nirvana in the constant welcoming and sending.

He applauds Falcao.

He knew that Falcao must know that he was going to Barcelona.

However, this did not affect his performance in the game, and he still went all out in this game.

Chang Sheng likes such players.

Everyone gets together so well, there's no need to utter bad words just because of job-hopping.

Lotito also watched the game from the podium.

But his perspective is completely different from Chang Sheng's.

After seeing Falcao's goal, he suddenly regretted it. Not regret letting Falcao go. But I regret that it was too early. If we procrastinate, after the Champions League is over, maybe Falcao will sell for more money?

By then... Will it be possible to sell for 60 million?

Lotito bowed his head in annoyance.

Sitting behind him, as a guest of honor, Barcelona's terrific manager Subi Saray had another idea - this Falcao. It's really worth buying!

Look at his goal just now, it is simply a work of art!

Why does Barcelona value Falcao so much?

They are not fools, it's just that the media said that Falkao is very valuable and powerful. They just pay for it.

Because Barcelona's tactics are in the same line as Lazio.

Falcao's playing experience in Lazio is equivalent to two years of preparatory classes in Lazio, which will help him better adapt to Barcelona's football. The Barcelona club does not need to consider Falcao's integration into the team. Both Lazio and Changsheng helped them solve it-yes, although Lazio's results are better than Barcelona's, Barcelona still shows its authentic identity as -taka everywhere. When it comes to Changsheng's football, it is all contemptuous "Just copying that routine? Huh!" Tsundere can't do it.

Buying Falcao can minimize the risk of players not adapting to Barcelona's tactics.

That's why Barcelona left the other forwards alone and focused on Falcao.

Even if you pay a high price for it.

They know very well that there are many excellent centers in this world, but there are not many centers suitable for Barcelona's tactics...

※ ※ ※

Falcao's goal opened the door to victory for Lazio.

In the 79th minute, Khedira shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area and shot from a long distance, piercing through the gate guarded by Petr Cech for the third time.

"3:0! Chelsea have completely lost hope! They lost this game! Now if I were Grant, I would never stick to it again. I would let the team press out and attack. Try to score an away goal! "

What the narrator said made sense.

But Granger didn't listen to him, and after the restart in the game, Chelsea continued to defend and counterattack. Even though they were three goals behind, they did not change their tactical strategy.

The narrator began lashing out at Grant, nicknamed him "Cowardly" Grant.

But Grant had his own considerations in doing so.

He knows how strong Lazio's offense is, and he conceded three goals when he defended himself. If you press yourself out and attack Lazio, judging from the current situation of the two teams, Chelsea will only die worse.

Three goals behind. It is not to say that returning home will have a great hope of winning. But it's better than four goals behind, five goals behind, right?

Grant was 100 per cent sure that if he let Chelsea press forward now, Lazio would be sifting through the backline before they could score.

Although three goals are quite a lot, there is still a chance of reversal. In the history of the Champions League, it is not without three goals behind in the first leg. Then an example of a second round reversal.

The closest and most famous example is when Chang Sheng coached Valencia, losing 1:4 away to Milan, three goals behind. As a result, returning to the home court in the second round, Valencia won Milan 5:0! In the end, he made it to the finals and won the championship.

So in theory, we lost three goals in the first round. Can also flip.

But if you lose by four goals... There seems to have never been an example in the history of the Champions League where you fell behind by four goals in the first leg and then came back.

That's why he didn't care what other people would think, and continued to stick to it. He was even on the sidelines, passing on his orders to the players on the field-continue to defend and counterattack! Don't rush to attack!

Grant's strategy worked, despite the commentators' constant criticism of his timidity. But Chelsea did not continue to concede the ball.

In the end, when the game ended, Lazio beat Chelsea 3-0 at home.

Grant did not achieve his goal of scoring an away goal. But after that game, he is very satisfied with the current result.

In the post-match press conference, he said: "Three goals behind is not the end of the world. I firmly believe that we can reverse it in the second round. As long as we all go all out, we can create miracles!"

He hoped that the media would interpret his words as the dying struggle of a desperate man...

And then sneered at him. He and the team were sentenced to death in advance.

Because he knows that his image in the media is not good.

The media must not miss this opportunity to laugh at him.

No one is willing to be scolded, unless he is out of his mind. There is nothing wrong with Grant. He is willing to be ridiculed by the media because he wants to use this to influence Chang Sheng and make him proud and underestimate the enemy.

If Lazio continues the performance of this game, it will be difficult for Chelsea to win at home.

If you want to create a miracle, in addition to playing your best, you also need to count on your opponent to make mistakes.

Valencia was able to reverse Milan's game because Milan was a strong opponent. In that game, they seemed to have been interrupted by someone, sleepwalking, and had no power to fight back. This is typical underestimation of the enemy.

If Lazio can underestimate the enemy, Chelsea have a chance to beat them.

Otherwise... everything will be over.

As long as the media say that Chelsea is dead, Lazio will underestimate the enemy. Even if Lazio's coach will not underestimate the enemy, Lazio's players will underestimate the enemy.

As long as it can affect Lazio's players, even if it is only a part...Chelsea has a chance of success.

But is Chang Sheng so easy to be fooled?

If he knew that Chang Sheng was a time traveler and knew him and Chelsea well, maybe he wouldn't think so.

underestimate the enemy?

How could Chang Sheng not think of such a thing?

How could he be fooled if someone wanted to deal with him in the same way he used to?
