In fact, Lazio players are not very white.
They decided that they didn’t behave well.
After leading by a goal, they defended Manchester United closely and they failed to score.
This made Lazio players feel that they didn’t play this game well.
They think it’s dangerous to win a goal in the first round like everyone else.
They are worried that they will not be able to reach the Champions League final.
But when they looked up, they saw the smiling face of the boss.
So they don’t understand.
A winning smile has many meanings, and sometimes he smiles when he is angry.
But after so many years with him, the players are still familiar with what every smile of their boss means.
His smile now is definitely not a "bait hides the hook"
Does he smile from the heart, is he happy, is he satisfied, is he … all positive emotions.
So the players wondered why their boss had such an expression.
Winning in the dressing room answered their doubts.
"If we can win at home, we certainly hope to win, but if we don’t, we’re not in a hurry. There’s nothing to worry about. We’re winners. Winners, why should we pull a long face? What if we are one goal ahead? Who stipulates that a team that wins a ball in the first round will not be promoted? Manchester United, are they sure to win? Very good guys, we in Lazio specialize in cleaning up those people! "
The words of constant victory restored the confidence of Lazio players.
Yes, we have a boss here.
What are we worried about when the boss is here?
……
Chang Sheng also showed his confidence in the post-match press conference.
When many reporters questioned Lazio’s performance in the first round, he snorted contemptuously, "We are the winners. You are questioning that the winners didn’t perform well enough. I really don’t know where you got such arrogance."
He held out his hand. "We beat Manchester United 1-0 at home, but what’s wrong with that?"? Do you think this score will lead to our elimination? "
A reporter shouted, "Isn’t it? What if you win a goal at home and go away? "
Changsheng rolled his eyes. "It seems that many people have decided that we will get into trouble away from home. What makes you think so? I think this is the score with us in this game? "
Another reporter said, "Manchester United are very tenacious in this game. Since they can make Lazio suffer in the away game, why can’t they do better at home?"
Changsheng nodded. "Why can’t they do better at home?"? Then why can’t we perform better than them on the road? "
"They are at home …"
"But they are at home. We are away from home. We won away in the Champions League. Up to now, we have scored ten goals away from home. How many teams have such away performances in the whole European football season?"
The ever-victorious rhetorical question made the other party speechless.
"The answer is not coming? There is no other team in Europe except Lazio! May I ask why a team with such away results will think that we will be in danger at Old Trafford? Is old Trafford more scary than Allianz Stadium and proud to go to Schalke than White Hart Lane Stadium? "
A group of reporters were asked by him that no one raised their hands and questioned again.
After winning the lesson, this group of journalists got up and left.
Afterwards, all major media reported that Changsheng confronted reporters at the press conference.
"… always seems confident!"
"It’s often said that winning a goal in the first leg will eventually lead to Wembley and Lazio will be the team …"
"He won by one goal but still laughed. He fought with reporters at the press conference after the game …"
"It makes sense to talk a lot. Lazio have won the Serie A and then they need to concentrate on preparing for the Champions League. What about Manchester United? At present, they are six points ahead of the second place Chelsea in the Premier League, which is a great advantage, but there are still other possibilities with four rounds left in the League, so Manchester United will definitely have to invest more energy in the League, which will affect Manchester United’s preparation for the Champions League semi-final … "
"Lazio’s performance on the road is really good this season, which may bring confidence to us, but please don’t forget that it’s the semi-final of the Champions League, and whoever can win can advance to the final. In this context, Manchester United will inevitably have enough fighting power at their own home, which is completely different from surrendering Bayern Munich and Schalke 4 from the beginning of the game! If you always look at this game from an old perspective, I’m not surprised if Lazio is eliminated at Old Trafford … "
……
At that time, the media was full of expectation for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Just after the first round, the media heated up the second round.
Everyone can’t wait for the race horse to arrive in a week.
But of course, there can’t be another league game on the weekend, and neither of us can escape.
……
Ferguson express his confidence in winning that second leg and eliminate Lazio after the game.
Ferguson was in a good mood after the first leg.
This kind of mood is reflected in his jokes with reporters when interviewed by the media.
Ferguson certainly has reason to be so happy.
He was gratified by the team’s performance after conceding a goal, so he saw the confidence to win Lazio in the second leg.
Of course, Ferguson is not happy for such a simple reason.
Some media have analyzed that Lazio is in a better situation than Manchester United because they have won the championship before, so they don’t have to pester each other in the league to concentrate on dealing with Manchester United.
But what Ferguson actually knows is exactly the opposite of what the media said.
Lazio do not compete for the championship, but they still have to compete for another thing, that is, winning the league and ending the season.
This makes them unable to relax in every league game.
Especially when Lazio opponents are Juventus, their only advantage is their home game.
Manchester United’s opponents are not weak and they are away-away against Arsenal.
However, Ferguson has thought about the away game against Arsenal and he will give up completely.
Losing the game is all about letting the main team rest and recharge their batteries. In the middle of the week, Old Trafford will face Lazio.
Although Manchester United haven’t locked in the championship yet, Ferguson is not worried about it.
Even if we lose to Arsenal and let Chelsea get three points, Manchester United will still have a chance to win or lose-in the 36th round of the league, Manchester United played against Chelsea at home, when Manchester United and Lazio finished the game, just in time to deal with Chelsea.
If Manchester United can beat Chelsea at home and expand the difference to six points again, then Manchester United will have nothing to worry about in the last two rounds
Manchester United can afford to lose this league match, but Lazio can’t.
Lazio can’t afford to lose. If you struggle with Juventus in the league and spend too much energy on away games, it will naturally be affected.
……
Ferguson’s analysis is good. Lazio really can’t give up the game against Juventus.
Moreover, Juventus also know that Lazio will die at Manchester United in the middle of the week. Do they mind taking advantage of the fire to rob Lazio in this weekend’s league?
Are they trying to force Lazio to choose between losing to us and losing the league record? Or are you exhausted with us and then eliminated by Manchester United?
For Juventus, this may be their best chance to beat Lazio this season.
