Chapter 260 Opening the new season with a champion
If Lazio was still in a bad boat last season and had three catties of iron, then starting from this season, Lazio has officially bid farewell to the ranks of strong teams, and even now it is not even a pseudo-strong team.
The changes in Lazio this season are from top to bottom. On the upper level, Lotito officially moved into the management and became the new chairman of Lazio.
The middle level is Mancini's departure. Mancini is very good in terms of coaching ability and personality charm. Lazio can maintain such good results in the past two years. Mancini is definitely the biggest contributor.
As for the players, the departure of the defensive core Stam can be said to have dropped Lazio's defensive strength by a notch, not to mention that Lazio's departure is not just Stam, Mikhailovich, and Favalli.
Some people leave and some people come, such as Rocky, this striker will become the banner of Lazio in the next few years, such as the teenager Pandev.
It is said that Li Yi's appearance also delayed Pandev's entry into Serie A. According to the original history, Pandev should have joined Ancona, which was promoted to Serie A last season, but Li Yi's appearance directly made Cagliari replace Ancona.
Lazio's decline in strength is also fully reflected on the court. 10 minutes have passed since the start of the game, and Lazio has only organized a wave of offense.
In this game, Lazio's striker is composed of two new aids. Rocky is paired with Pandev. Rocky is strong, and Pandev has potential, but because of Li Yi's relationship, he still needs time to adapt.
Speaking of which, Di Natale and Rocky are still old teammates. When they were in Empoli, the two were striker partners. After Empoli was relegated last season, the two went their separate ways.
It was also because of his old partner that Li Yi specially arranged for Di Natale to start in this game. After all, this kind of drama is very exciting to the players.
In fact, in these 10 minutes, Rocky was very active, and Lazio's only shot was also played by Rocky. In contrast, Di Natale was much calmer.
Cagliari took three shots, and Di Natale also hit one. One of the shots should have belonged to Di Natale, but in the end he chose to pass it to his teammates.
Soon, Cagliari ushered in the fourth shot, which came from Valbuena's wing. Although Poboski had returned and participated in the team's training, Li Yi did not arrange for him to appear in this game, but sat on the bench and waited.
Poborski himself has a somewhat vulnerable constitution. When he returned to the physical examination this time, his physical condition was not ideal, but it is normal to think about it. Last season, he was almost full attendance, and then the absolute main force of the dominant national team in the European Cup, and even the Czech Republic broke into the semi-finals.
Coupled with Poboski's age, the Czech veteran is 32 years old. It is very rare for a player like him to maintain his current level at this age.
So Li Yi didn't let Bobowski sit on the bench in this game, and he wouldn't appear if there were no accidents. Of course, just letting him rest is definitely not enough. After learning about Bobski's physical condition, Li Yi immediately exchanged for a fatigue elimination card and steel mixture in the mall.
Speaking of which, Li Yi used steel mixture for several veterans in the Cagliari team. This season is very important to Li Yi, Cagliari, and even these veterans.
Li Yi didn't want to stay in Cagliari for too long, especially after going through a series of times, Li Yi knew very well that Cagliari couldn't satisfy his ambition, and it wasn't worth his effort.
The veterans in the team are due to their age and status. Except for Poborski, the other three have the intention of retiring. Hierro and Zola are particularly strong, so this season is likely to be their last season in Cagliari.
In the cross, with a low pass, Valbuena sent the ball into the penalty area and sent it in front of Milito, but Agen did not choose to shoot by himself.
With a deliberate miss, the ball rolled past Milito's feet and rolled to the back point, No. 11, which is Di Natale's number in Cagliari.
Down, slide shovel.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLThe goal is scoredShovel shot Cagliari broke the situation on the field."
"Di NataleValbuena made a low pass from the side, Milito missed the ball unexpectedly, Di Natale then shoveled and shot, Peruzzi was beyond his reach."
"The goal is scored Cagliari's new aid, even after selling last season's golden boots, Cagliari still continued its own tradition, No. 13 minutes in the game."
Cagliari itself has an advantage, and now that Di Natale has helped the team score, the balance of victory and defeat will be completely tilted.
Subsequent games also proved this point. Lazio may still have contacts with Cagliari last season, but this season, Lazio has no power to fight back at all.
On the sidelines, Lazio coach Caso has already left his position. As Mancini's successor, Caso's pressure is undoubtedly enormous.
It is also because of this that this championship is too important to him, and it is related to whether he can be firmly established in Lazio and whether he can be recognized by the fans and the management.
But judging from the current situation, his team is at a disadvantage, and he also found that this disadvantage is crushed by the team's own strength.
Retreating and holding on, Caso found that all he could do now was to allow his players to fully defend, because the opponents on the field became more morale after scoring a goal, and their offense became more aggressive.
No. In the 18th minute, Cagliari once again scored in the hinterland of Lazio. Captain Conte passed the ball directly to the goal hero Di Natale.
Di Natale took the ball to the outside of the penalty area. In this case, Lazio's defensive players could only pull out of the penalty area. At this moment, Di Natale made a diagonal pass.
Franck Ribery on the left, the Frenchman threw off the defensive player and shot out diagonally, and with the appearance of Ribery, Lazio's defense tilted to the left in an all-round way.
Passing the ball again, when Lazio's defensive players turned their attention to themselves, Ribery made a cross pass, and the ball quickly flew from the left to the center.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLThe goal is scored againCagliari Only 5 minutes have passed since the last goal, the second shot after the goal."
"Wonderful cooperation, Di Natale attracts and pulls Lazio's defenders out of the penalty area, Ribery tilts the defense's attention, and Milito easily completes the fatal blow."
"It's overThe game is over From the beginning of the game, Cagliari has an absolute advantage, but now, with Cagliari leading 2:0, it is hard to imagine that Lazio still has hope of a comeback."
