Chapter 165 Blue Eagle Lazio
This victory dealt a major blow to Munich 1860, but their coach seems to have broken the pot. The two face-to-face meetings in one season are over, and Union Berlin can only wait for the next season if they want to abuse them.
At the press conference after the game, he complained about the brutal style of Union Berlin, without mentioning his team's problems at all.
Mourinho rarely argued with the other party, but said that the roar of the weak was just their last struggle.
He is such a proud person. He feels that he is the coach of one of the strongest teams in the Bundesliga. It is more interesting to quarrel with the Bayern coach. Arguing with the coach who does not know when the team will be relegated will only lose his identity.
In the following week, Union Berlin faced Van der Vaart's Hamburg twice in the German Cup and the league.
In the German Cup in the middle of the week, Union Berlin was accidentally eliminated by Hamburg, and Union Berlin scored the only goal of the game with van der Vaart.
Van der Vaart, who attended the press conference as the best player after the game, said proudly: "Someone once asked me whether I regret joining Hamburg. Now you have seen the results of the game. Hamburg has the ability to win all teams. German football has always The question I was looking for was answered."
Mourinho was tickled by his anger, he knew what Van der Vaart meant.
Look, we can stop Union Berlin.
But after all, after losing the game, according to his usual temper, Mourinho may spray this anti-bone guy, but he will meet in the league in a few days. Mourinho decided to finish the league first.
Just letting Van der Vaart go doesn't mean letting go of Union Berlin's players. The games have been very intensive recently, but the rest day after the game was canceled by Mourinho. He trained the players hard for a few days.
On the way to Hamburg's home court, Mourinho expressed his attitude seriously: "If you can't win today, everyone will wait for me. I don't want to see that bastard Rafael look arrogant again." , a guy who doesn't play hard today won't get a first-team chance until the end of the season."
Hearing his words, the first-team players all shuddered. Mourinho is definitely not joking. They know this stingy coach too well. He is really very angry. If he can't win, Van der Vaart will come out again to satirize Union Berlin , Mourinho will definitely not give them a good face, maybe many people will suffer.
Fortunately, van Persie, who has been watching van der Vaart upset, became the hero of Union Berlin. He scored a hat-trick in the opening 9 minutes and completely established the victory of the game.
Although the final score was only 4:0, Mourinho still felt very relieved.
At the press conference after the game, he said very philosophical words: "The mouse played next to the lion while the lion was asleep, creating an illusion that it was the king of the jungle, but when the lion woke up, the mouse will be slapped to death by the lion's paw."
Union Berlin did not give Hamburg any chance in this game, so the Hamburg coach has nothing to say.
Immediately afterwards, Union Berlin flew to Italy.
The UEFA Cup game has started again, this time their opponent is Nesta's old club Lazio.
--------
"Alessandro is back, if only he was still there, he is a great captain, even if he left, he left the team with 4000 million US dollars, just in order not to fight us, he even rejected AC Milan .”
"He is Lazio's hero and we want to welcome him today."
Before the start of the game, Lazio fans were ready to give Nesta a surprise.
Nesta is a player trained by Lazio himself. He grew up from the youth team to the captain of the team. His loyalty and elegant defense are synonymous with him. Nesta is very popular among Lazio fans.
They also knew that the team was sorry for Nesta, because the team was in an economic crisis and the captain was forced to leave the team.Even so, he still left for Germany in order not to become an opponent with Lazio in Serie A. Nesta has done his best to Lazio. They don't know what kind of player can do better than Nesta.
So today's theme is to welcome Nesta back to Lazio, the city where he grew up.
They put up a huge banner in the stands early on, with Nesta's head and welcome back slogan printed on it, everything looked very heartwarming.
Mourinho is also very face-saving, let him be the first to walk out of the player tunnel during the warm-up, and the players on both sides stopped.
The huge cheers made Nesta's eyes moist for a moment, and he returned to the place he dreamed of, as if he had never left.
The warm moment before the game made the game less smoke of war.
But after the start of the game, Union Berlin immediately showed their fangs. They didn't make any tentative attacks at all, and pressed directly as a whole. Union Berlin never gave their teammates a chance to adapt to the game, especially in the face of a slow-paced team. For the Italian team, Mourinho repeatedly emphasized the importance of the start.
Although Harvey Alonso was injured today, Philippe Nesser organized well in the midfielder position. With the protection of De Jong around him, his golf intelligence is undoubtedly revealed.
Edward, who was standing in the box, nodded repeatedly. No wonder they said that Philip Neville was more talented than his brother. Injuries affected his athletic ability, but he was indeed a very smart player.
The strength of Union Berlin's central lane actually has little effect, they are all serving the side lanes, the two sharp knives of Ronaldinho and Robben are the strongest offensive weapons of Union Berlin.
Although Lazio's wing attack is not strong, but like traditional Italian teams, they are relatively solid in defense, and Union Berlin did not have a good chance after playing the game for a while.
Van Persie suffered from diarrhea after eating in Italy. To be on the safe side, he did not appear in the starting list, but Villa's state today is obviously not exciting enough. His breakthrough ability, which was not considered top-level, was limited by Lazio's defenders. damn.
The defensive system of Italian players has been cultivated since childhood. Even though Lazio sold off many star players due to financial problems, their defense is still relatively solid. After half a season, new players have also integrated into the team and become chain defense. one ring.
After 20 minutes of the game, the players of Union Berlin were obviously a little impatient. The schedule is more favorable, but if they don't score in the away game, they may be eliminated by the opponent when they return home. The last round faced Liverpool They still remember how they got promoted.
In this case, Union Berlin pressed more fiercely. This style of play is a bit crazy. The defenders are all behind the center line. Kick-off, Lazio, who has been under pressure, found a chance to counterattack quickly. Enrico Chiesa was pulled down by Nesta behind him, and the home fans were enough to save face without booing.
But this free kick made Lazio take the lead. Dino Baggio's free kick bounced off the ground. Even Van der Sar couldn't block this shot. At this time, Nesta's heart was the most complicated. He gave The opponent took a free kick, and now that his old club has scored, he is even a little happy in his heart.
Nesta quickly shook his head, telling himself that he is a player of Union Berlin.
This goal was completely beyond the expectations of the Union Berlin players, but it is indeed reasonable. They have been pressing so high, and it is very normal for them to be counterattacked by the opponent.
Now they are a bit confused, and they have not made a good choice in offense and defense. After the re-kick-off, they can only slowly organize and wait for the opportunity.
That's the problem with Xabi Alonso not being there, Philip Neville can help with the build up against teams not at the top, but because he doesn't play in that position at all, he has no idea when to slow down , When should the team's offense be accelerated.Fortunately, Lazio did not play aggressively, and Neville was not tested too much.
Mourinho frowned, he didn't expect the game to play like this at all.Compared with the previous star-studded team, this Lazio team is not 01:30 points worse. Even he underestimated it. Now it seems that the emaciated camel is still bigger than the horse.
The opponent took the lead and could still hold their breath and wait for a counterattack in their own half.Now the Union of Berlin is not pressing, and the two sides have fallen into a stalemate.
Chiesa is now the most famous in Lazio. His partner Lazetic is not well-known, but his strength is still good. The players from Yugoslavia are very skilled.
After grabbing back, they still formed an offense. Lazetic himself used technology to shake off the two midfielders of Union Berlin, and was intercepted when passing the ball, otherwise Chiesa could contribute another goal.
Mourinho frowned and observed the situation on the field without blinking his eyes. Today, the opponent didn't want any face at all, and was just waiting for a counterattack in his own half.
If the opponent attacks, he is not afraid at all. After all, this is the opponent's home court. Even if they lose the away game in the offensive battle, it is a good advantage. But now Lazio's performance makes them feel a little bit helpless, except for the two forwards. Everyone stayed in their own half. The Italian team's defense made the Union Berlin players uncomfortable. They played more seriously than in the previous friendly matches.
The scene became very dull. Union Berlin's offense was almost entirely created by Ronaldinho and Arjen Robben. Before the end of the first half, Robben created a free kick on the right, but Ronaldinho missed it.
During the halftime break, the locker room of Union Berlin was no longer as cheerful as it used to be, and they played very uncomfortable in today's game.Originally, I thought that the opponent would be easy to deal with with a much worse lineup than when they met last time, but what I didn't expect was that the serious Italian team was like a hedgehog, which made them unable to talk.
Mourinho took the initiative to take the responsibility: "Today is my problem, I underestimated the other party."
"In the second half, we strengthened the offense in the center, and played from the side and the center. The two wingers can try more crosses."
"Wesley can try to use long shots as much as possible. Even if there is no way to score, he can still create set-piece opportunities."
Mourinho did not mention other problems, but in the second half, Villa was replaced by him. In this case, he chose to let Materazzi go forward. Facing this kind of opponent, he needs A battering ram, Materazzi is this character.
Sneijder, who was instructed by Mourinho, immediately got wind on his feet after taking the ball. His breakthrough ability has not been weak, but he is willing to be a green leaf for two teammates who love to dribble.
Ronaldinho and Arjen Robben also rushed towards the opponent's half, galloping along the wing, while responding to Sneijder, they also firmly attracted the defense of the two full-backs of Inter Milan.
Materazzi, who was at the top, began to run and pull the opponent's defense line, and directly took away a Lazio defender. Only Otto was left at the front of the penalty area. Sneijder saw the opponent's full-back rushing. Come up, without even thinking about it, it's just a turn.
This long-range shot was very breakthrough. Lazio goalkeeper Luca Marchegiani was a step too late to save, but Sneijder's long-range shot hit the crossbar.
Edward, who waited anxiously for a long time, hugged his head regretfully. He came to Italy to witness the team's victory. He never thought that the team would play so hard today.
Lazio huddled in their own half after a clearance. They seemed to be very satisfied with the score of 1:0.
Even Edward, who has always been relatively well-bred, couldn't help cursing: "Asshole."
What’s the point in a football game if it’s all huddled and counterattacked? In the Bundesliga, it’s not that there are no teams that put up buses to deal with Union Berlin, but the German team, which relies more on muscle and strength than the defensive system, has no way to fight against it. Italian teams on par.
Italy's defensive system is completely imprinted in the players' minds. They have been cultivating defensive theory since childhood, so every player knows what they should do when defending. It is not easy for talented offensive players. Even the wide players in the front field have good defensive ability, but their football practicality is not lacking.
Lazio without those star players looks more like a whole, all of them form a sophisticated machine, everyone is a screw, and their defense fits perfectly. The 10 Italian players can bring such an effect to people. Even if Union Berlin repeatedly enters the frontcourt, they still gain momentum and fail to score.
The more anxious Union Berlin pressed higher, and Lazio scored again through a counterattack in the 78th minute.It was Dino Baggio who scored the goal with a long-range shot from the edge of the box that changed the score.
Mourinho directly pushed Dirk Louitt and Van Persie onto the pitch. The Portuguese was still very crazy at critical moments. This substitution also had an effect. The three forwards helped Union Berlin to rewrite the score to 2 before the end of the game. :1.
Materazzi ferried the header to Dirk, and Dirk passed it to Sneijder in an inverted triangle. Sneijder found Van Persie through a straight ball.
Although the score is behind, it is still very good to have an away goal.
In the last two weeks, Union Berlin lost two games. Edward could guess what kind of performance Mourinho would have on the way back. Sure enough, he chose to stay in Italy for a few days instead of flying back with the team. Germany.
