Chapter 567 It's lively outside the field
The five major leagues of this season started late, and next year is the World Cup year, and the schedule is also very short. At the beginning of the league, the events are very intensive. A week of double matches are already commonplace. Slow teams, or teams that have not been adjusted from vacation, are easy to be left behind by opponents at this time.
Last season, the two heroes of Rome were the runner-up and the palace, but the beginning of this season is not good. Now they have gone to the relegation zone to play, and the Champions League is also in trouble. Milan's two heroes and Juventus are well prepared. Now they have performed well in the league and European games, especially Inter Milan, at the end of last season. Mu said that he wanted to win the Triple Crown, which was not paid much attention to at that time, but now Inter Milan's double line is in hand and in full state. It seems that the Triple Crown is not a fantasy, at least it is a little more reliable than winning the double championship last season.
The fourth round of Serie A is still a weekly double match. After the game, teams with European games will continue to play in the middle of the week. For the Roma two players who are interested in winning the championship, the current situation is not optimistic. Whether it is in Europe or the league, it is difficult to catch up again if they lose again.
The focus of this round is the battle between Lazio and AC Milan. The two tigers will have an injury, and may even be both sides will lose. For the leading Juventus and Inter Milan, their opponents in this round are not very strong. Juventus' opponent is Lecce, and Inter Milan's opponent is Turin, which is almost impossible to defeat the opponent. If there is any doubt, they can wait to watch the big play with a relaxed mind.
The first game started was the match between Lecce and Juventus. If it was last season, there was no suspense, but if Lecce's performance so far is compared with the previous season, it can be said that the team has been completely reborn. The team has been unbeaten with 1 win and 2 draws in three games. It is a good start, but they Juventus, the opponent of the war, currently maintains 3 wins in 3 games in the league, with a strong momentum. It is an extraordinary performance that Lecce can get 1 point back by relying on the benefits of the home court. Juventus may have played averagely because of the double games of the week. In the end, Lecce drew Juventus 0:0 at home court, which surprised the media. But it also surprised the team that was chasing behind, especially the two Milan, who were two points away from Juventus. If they can win the game, they can immediately catch up with Juventus.
The seven games at the beginning of the next day's game were calm. Inter Milan was still in excellent shape, and the two-line battle did not make them tired. In Turin, Juventus's nest, Inter Milan easily beat Turin at 2:0 away. After four rounds, they led the Serie A table again.
So far, it has not won a game. Rome, which has fallen into the relegation zone, finally won. They defeated Florence, which is also in poor condition and financially tight. Although the gap from the top of the list is still very large, it has escaped from the relegation zone, making Rome's fans a little more comfortable. The Roma fans are comfortable, and the Roman coach Capello is in a much better mood. During this period, he was bombarded by the media and criticized by the fans. The iron coach also made him physically and mentally exhausted. If the game continues to win, Roma may even collapse.
Surprisingly, there is also Chievo. After being reversed by Juventus in stoppage time in the last round, this round of Chievo played a wonderful game again. They beat Piacenza 4-2 at home and ranked steadily fourth. If they can continue, they will participate in the Champions League. It is possible.
The last round of the focus battle was held on Sunday night. Previously, AC Milan ranked third with 7 points, while Lazio did not win a game with 3 points. The game between the two sides is almost a battle of redemption for Lazio. Once lost, it will be between the top of the table. With a gap of 7 points, in the situation of losing two games in the Champions League and the difficulty of qualifying, if there is no hope for the league, Lazio may be sentenced to death from now on.
This game is a competition between two top scorers Lazio's Crespo and AC's Shevchenko. Sheva shined brilliantly in the 4-4 match between the two sides in the previous season. I'm afraid that Nesta, the first defender of Serie A, will retreat from him. Sheva is now in a good state, and Crespo, like when he first joined last time, has no feeling.
In this game, AC Milan's strikers Sheva and Inzaghi cooperate very well. Danish defender Lawerson's excellent air control ability is not inferior to Nesta's in defense. Lazio's midfield is less than Czech Nedvid, which lacks unprecedented sharpness. In the 16th minute, he saw the opportunity. Crespo and Lopez 2 over 1 With a strong shot from the back door, he was blocked by Abbiati, but this was almost Lazio's only chance, and Milan has been completely in control of the game since then. Under the control of Rui Costa, who returned from injury, the Shevchenko-Inzaghi team launched a continuous attack and finally took the lead in the 41st minute. At that time, Contra passed three Lazio defenders, Inzaghi, who easily pushed the ball into the door of Peruzi, 1-0.
In the second half, Lazio was cursed by God. At the beginning, Crespo left the field with a leg injury and was replaced by Kovachevic. AC Milan quickly launched an offensive. Costa passed the ball accurately, and Danish defender Lawerson headed the ball, 2-0. Subsequently, Nesta was also replaced by Simone due to a leg injury. Eight minutes later, Dino Baggio became Lazio's third player with a leg injury. Three absolute main players were injured. Previously, Lazio's substitution quota had been used up, and the visiting team was forced to play with 10 players. Lazio was powerless, and finally lost the game that was crucial to them 0:2.
After the end of the fourth round of Serie A, AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan scored 10 points. Inter Milan ranked first with a goal difference, Roma ranked 10th with 5 points, while Lazio only scored 3 points and ranked 13th. Although the league has just begun, the media has realized that Serie A has changed. Even if the Roma two players who called the wind and rain last season will not be absent from the European game, it will be difficult to rush into the winning team. The champion is likely to become a plaything between the Milan two and Juventus.
After the fourth round of the game, neither Juventus' draw nor Lazio's straight-line depravity is big news. The most eye-catching thing is the fight in the game.
Italy has just passed the "Anti-court Violence Law" in the new season, which aims to punish fans and football hooligans who make trouble on the court. However, the violence against players in Lecce against Juventus and Roma vs. Fiorentina last weekend has caused great repercussions in Italy, and the Italian media's ugly behavior against these players. There was a lot of denouncement, calling for the purification of the green field, and some people even suggested that the "anti-court violence law" should also be used on these "unbredified" players.
In response to these two incidents, the Disciplinary Committee of the Italian Football Association has identified them through the after-match TV screen. These parties have been suspended. Montero, Davis, Zago, Baleri and Trizege were all suspended for three rounds.
In addition to the court brawl, Roman head coach Capello and Fiorentina head coach Mancini's cursing on the sidelines are also the focus of media reports.
The cause of the incident was that Rome's head coach Capello blamed the Fiorentina players for their lack of professional ethics. When Fiorentina fell to the ground in the confrontation with the Roma players, the Roma players took the initiative to kick the ball out of bounds and suspended the game; and when Totti was knocked to the ground by the Fiorentina's elbow, Fiorentina not only did not kick the ball out of bounds, but also took advantage of the opportunity to attack.
After the game, Capello was still very angry in a TV interview: "When their players fell to the ground, we kicked the ball out of bounds four times, and when Totti fell to the ground, Fiorentina could not do this. It's not that there is no upbringing. What is it? I teach my players that if a player is injured, he must kick the ball out of bounds, respect the other party, and whoever is in charge of the team must teach the players to do so.
But Mancini didn't think his players were wrong. When talking about the quarrel in an interview, Mancini said: "All this is because Gonzalez didn't notice Totti fall to the ground and didn't kick the ball out of bounds. At that time, Capello insulted me with his movements and words. He said that my players were unbred. When Zago boxed my player, did his players have upbringing? What a joke."
However, no matter how big things happen in the league, there is not so much time and energy for Roma and Juventus to think about it. The middle of the week is the day of the Champions League. Juventus wins and draws, and the situation is not bad, but he will go to Portugal to play Porto in the next round. If he can't win again, the group The situation will become very delicate.
Rome's situation is even worse. They lost and tied. In the next game against Lokomotiv Moscow, if they can't win, the road to the Champions League will basically come to an end. For Rome, which is so bad in the league, the Champions League has become a life-saving straw for him, and now they must catch it firmly.
Among the four teams participating in the Champions League, Inter Milan's Champions League is the most concerned in this round, because Inter Milan will go to the Netherlands to play the Dutch champion Alkmaar.
The Dutch champion was the Champions League champion of last season, and was also the biggest dark horse in the Champions League that season. In the end, they won the Champions League. However, time has changed. Now Alkmaar is not only suppressed by Eindhod and Feyenoord in the league, but also performed averagely in the Champions League. The reason why they won It's just because of one thing, that is, Jiang Mu, the head coach of Inter Milan, the creator of the miracle of Serie A and the UEFA Europa League last season. He was also the creator of the miracle of Alkmaar last season. Now Jiang Mu is going back to the Netherlands to face his old boss, and this old owner is still his former lover. This is definitely The news that can attract a lot of attention is simply sorry for yourself if the media doesn't hype it before the game.
