Chapter 166 Fighting Lazio Again

Chapter 166 Fighting Lazio Again

Mourinho's temper was like a medieval tyrant when he lost, and his players were severely punished by him. Union Berlin once again bloodbathed their opponents in the league at the weekend.

Now many media have discovered the law of Union Berlin. As long as they don't win, the next game will definitely explode.

If their coach loses the verbal battle with others before meeting Union Berlin, then congratulations, you will face a Union Berlin team that looks like they are playing in the World Cup finals. What I hope is that the other party is in a good mood, and don't take them under the knife.It's a pity that Nuremberg's expectations fell through. With the depression of losing to Lazio, even though they were shrunk, they were kicked 5:0. Villa, who was replaced early in the Champions League, performed a hat-trick. Nuremberg was stabbed severely.

--------

Union Berlin faced Lazio again in the middle of the week, and they took some blows.

Both Robben and Sneijder were injured before the game, which reduced the offensive power of the frontcourt a lot, so Belleron appeared in the starting midfielder as a matter of course.Ronaldinho only played halftime on the weekend, so today is still the starting lineup. The striker is quite unexpected, and Van Persie is placed on the right. Mourinho seems to be crazy about the reverse foot, and Edward is not very good. Optimistic about this arrangement.

Harvey Alonso's recovery from injury is nothing short of a shot in the arm for Union Berlin. He and Cambiasso will definitely bring something stronger to Union Berlin than the first round.

Lazio didn't have any accidents either. After the game started, they immediately got off the bus in the away game. The opponent deployed a heavy guard in the midfield today. endlessly.

However, the Lazio coach is still very thoughtful. Although Chiesa started, but his position is not on the back line, but constantly harassing Xavi Alonso. His role is not to form steals, but to be targeted. Let Union Berlin's midfield run so smoothly.

This tactic does have some effect. When a player is harassing close to him, even if Xavi Alonso has excellent skills, he can't pass the ball immediately. Now the opponent's striker is not going to score, so he just stares at him, haha Vi Alonso was helpless.

The game lasted for more than 20 minutes, and the situation between the two sides still remained unchanged. Union Berlin wanted to attack but could not speak, and Lazio had no intention of attacking at all.

Although the sale of star players has made Lazio's offense lack of inspiration, they are now completely integrated, and their offensive ability may have dropped a lot, but Lazio, who is determined to stick to it, is still very difficult to deal with, especially today's long-range shooter Sneijder Failed to play, Union Berlin lacked a sharp weapon to destroy the dense defense.

A few minutes later, the players of Union Berlin entered a rest period, unable to continue playing against the opponent, and Lazio also gained a valuable respite.Even so, they did not mean to press the attack.

Even Mourinho, who can do anything for victory in his bones, couldn't help scolding his mother. This is really for the sake of victory.

The Union Berlin fans booed their opponents all the time. These bastards didn't come to play at all. They just wanted to defend the score in the first leg.

However, towards the end of the first half, Union Berlin still scored a goal, which completely changed the situation.

Evra and Ronaldinho hit the wall continuously on the left to cooperate. After attracting the opponent's defensive player, Ronaldinho decisively cut into the penalty area from the left wing. When the opponent's defender came up to block, Ronaldinho used a flower arrangement The foot pass was easily given to the middle, and the push shot from 5 meters in front of the goal hit the post, but soon after he got the ball one by one, he did not choose to shoot, but made an inverted triangle pass back.

Lazio's defenders were shocked because they saw Belleron put on a long-range shot. When they rushed towards Belleron together, Belleron sent a through ball. Wasted the opportunity, after the anti-offside was successful, he hit the far corner and succeeded.

"Dirk—"

"——Kuit~~~~~~~~"

"Dirk—"

"——Kuit~~~~~~~~"

"Dirk—"

"——Kuit~~~~~~~~"

Under the leadership of the home DJ, the fans played this kind of game. Everyone knows what this goal means. Although the total score is 2:2 now, because Union Berlin has an away goal, if the game ends When the score is still the same, Lazio will be eliminated.

The damn Italian team has no way to continue hiding in the tortoise shell. As long as they attack in the second half, Union Berlin will not play so difficult.

At half-time, the atmosphere in the Union Berlin dressing room was very relaxed.The players felt that they had the chance to win. As long as the opponent dared to attack, it was entirely possible for them to score several goals in the second half.

"Boys,"

Mourinho reminded: "Your thinking now is very dangerous. The total score is still 2:2. We only have the advantage because of away goals. You can't think that the game is over."

"Good head." Van Persie answered happily, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. None of the teams that dared to play against Berlin United would end well.

The other players had similar thoughts, but the progress of the second half of the game immediately gave them a fatal blow.

Not long after the opening, Lazio scored a goal from a corner kick, and now the situation has become very delicate.Both sides have an away goal, and Union Berlin's advantage is gone. Even if they equalize the total score, they will be evenly matched at best. If both sides continue to score goals, they will be at a disadvantage. , every goal scored by the opponent is an away goal.

Mourinho was furious because of this goal. He knew that something would happen to those bastards who didn't care. Now it's okay.

The tactical literacy shown by Lazio made him hate it. It is the most likely to score a goal within a few minutes after a goal, but Lazio Qiu was not careless. They even recovered more thoroughly than the first half. Yesa returned to halftime.

Mourinho's head is getting big now, let alone Ronaldinho, even Maradona has no way to open up the situation when he encounters this situation.

In this situation, he thought of Materazzi again, not only Materazzi, but even Ramos was replaced on the field, their formation became 442, Belleron and Van Persie were replaced, Ramos And Materazzi acted as a striker.

Two meteor hammers, one big and one small, were specially used to deal with Lazio. At this time, Ronaldinho and Van Persie also completed the swap, and the tactics of Union Berlin completely turned into crosses from the side.

There is no way, the opponent's defense is too tight, and the ball cannot be taken too far.Crosses are the most effective means of attack.Union Berlin likes to play penetrating offensive routines, but the iron barrel team is really not afraid of this. Even if their through balls are more penetrating, there is no way for the ball to penetrate the Lazio defense line with 6 people in the penalty area.

Because they are not worried about the opponent's counterattack, the three lines of Berlin United are very high, and the midfielders all press the half. This game looks like an offensive and defensive drill. After Harvey Alonso was released, Berlin United He, Cambiasso and Materazzi all started to shoot long shots frequently. Although it was difficult to hit the goal, they still created a lot of set-piece opportunities.

In the 76th minute of the game, a controversial scene occurred on the field. Harvey Alonso's long shot hit the opponent's hand. The referee did not call a penalty kick, which caused dissatisfaction among the Berlin Union players.

Union fans were furious after both Xavi Alonso and Materazzi were booked during the protest.

This is their home court, not to mention a penalty kick, but they even gave two of their players yellow cards. They began to greet the referee's family with the most vicious words they could think of.Even so the referee was unmoved.

The players of Union Berlin were even more impatient, and Materazzi was kicked out of the field after two yellows turned one red.

At the end of the game, Ramos stepped forward, and he helped the team equalize with a header, dragging the game into overtime.Mourinho decisively used up the last substitution spot, and now Union Berlin has fewer players. He replaced Van Persie with De Jong and began to prepare for the penalty shootout.

Lazio seems to have the same idea. Their players are still not active in offense, and they have no intention of taking advantage of the Berlin United's fewer goals. When they encounter such a strange opponent, Edward is convinced.

Union Berlin may not necessarily beat the opponent by kicking a penalty kick.Almost everyone in Union Berlin is a penalty shooter, but penalty kicks are not only a test of skills, but also a test of psychology. Whether these young people will perform abnormally under great pressure is the key to the penalty shootout. The Italian team is good at penalty kicks, so Edward is very worried.

In the second half of extra time, Union Berlin had a chance to kill the game, but Ronaldinho missed the opportunity to kill the opponent with a soft slip in front of the goal. After 120 minutes of the game, the two sides entered a cruel and tense penalty shootout .

At this time, the Union Berlin players also began to rest. They were not afraid of a sore throat, but because they were afraid of affecting the state of the players.

Mourinho looked at the young faces and made a decision immediately.

"First Vidic, second Xavi, third Sergio, fourth Chris, fifth Cambiasso."

This order was well thought out by him. Afraid that Nesta would make a mistake today, he let Vidic and Friedrich partner as central defenders. Vidic is currently the oldest player on the field. He has always been relatively calm. A free throw shouldn't be a problem.

Xavi Alonso is also older, and like Vidic, he is more stable than those young people. He used to be the captain and penalty shooter when he was in Real Sociedad. Of course, he will not let it out to resist pressure at this time .

The third is the young Ramos. This guy doesn't seem to care about anything at ordinary times, and his shooting ability is also good, so he was placed in this pick.

The fourth is Ronaldinho, the first penalty shooter on the field. Although Ronaldinho is one year older than Ramos, he is only a little over 18 years old. Strong and competitive, this time may be very stressful, so Mourinho decided to let him avoid the most important order in the last round.

Cambiasso has a heavy shot and is also very stable. He was arranged by Mourinho to the end. Of course, it may end without him playing. Mourinho trusts Van der Sar very much. He has a feeling that the Dutchman may Be the winner today.

Lazio striker Chiesa first appeared on the penalty spot, and he scored the penalty with a clean shot against the boos of the Union Berlin fans.

Nemanja Vidic also lived up to Mourinho's expectations. His heavy artillery shot was not tricky, but his speed was very fast, and he easily entered the net, keeping the two sides on the same level.

The second penalty kick is an unfavorable order, which also makes Edward more worried. Every time the opponent scores a goal, it will cause huge psychological pressure on the Union Berlin players.Although the opponent's No.2 player also scored a penalty kick, Harvey Alonso withstood the pressure and even kicked a wonderful scoop penalty. Morale boosted.

In the third round, the opposing player and Ramos also scored the goal. Although Ramos is the youngest player on the field, he is not ambiguous at all. This bastard chose to play in the middle, and I don’t know why I thought, as long as the opponent's goalkeeper makes a late save, it may hit the goalkeeper's foot.

For the fourth time, although Van der Sar guessed the right direction, he failed to prevent the opponent from scoring. The Italian player's penalty kick was still very stable, and the opponent may have also carried out targeted training.

Ronaldinho was already nervous when he stood up at this time, and Mourinho even saw his hands trembling.After playing the game for 120 minutes, Ronaldinho consumed a lot of energy. In addition to the huge pressure now, the double weight of body and mind made him dare not bear the burden. Mourinho hoped that he was thinking too much.

Ronaldinho started to run up, but his shot was flawed. The opponent's goalkeeper made a misjudgment, but the ball was too slow and was blocked by his second save.Seeing this scene, Xiao Luo finally couldn't bear it and cried.Harvey Alonso walked over and pulled him up to comfort him, "Don't worry, there's Edwin."

Ronaldinho had already covered his eyes when the opponent made a free throw. He didn't dare to look at this cruel scene. If the team was eliminated, he would be the team's sinner.

"Edwin!!!"

"Edwin!!!"

"Edwin!!!"

"Edwin!!!"

"Saint~Edwin!!!"

The cheers from the Fossere Stadium made him open his eyes, and he saw the opponent's players walking back to their own players decadently. Van der Sar miraculously saved the opponent's penalty. To a draw.

Cambiasso achieved it overnight and did not disappoint Mourinho's trust in him. This goal made the Union Berlin fans applaud even more.

In the sixth round, the Lazio players finally made a mistake and kicked the ball away, but Alves also failed to score, allowing the game to enter the seventh round.

Van der Sar stepped up again to save the opponent's penalty, and then De Jong's powerful strike won the game completely, and the Union Berlin players and coaches from the bench rushed onto the pitch.

The victory was hard won and deserved to be celebrated.
