Chapter 300 The Great Victory
Chapter 300 The Great Victory
But that is all a few days later, the days have to pass day by day, and the games have to be played one by one. Before the Champions League with Real Madrid, Cagliari will play a Coppa Italia with Lazio.
The Coppa Italia has always been dispensable in Li Yi's eyes. Last season, Li Yi had been using the Coppa Italia to train young players.
Not to mention this season, the Cagliari schedule this season will be much denser and more intense than last season, with not only the pressure of the league, but also the pressure of the Champions League.
Li Yi will not underestimate himself, but he will not be arrogant either. Compared to the league and the Champions League, the Coppa Italia is of little importance, so this season Li Yi still gives opportunities to young players.
However, Cagliari this season is a little different from last season. After a season, the young players of last season have made great progress this season, so compared to last season, Cagliari this season is stronger, even if they are all substitutes and young players.
In addition, this game has a special meaning for Cagliari players, that is, revenge. Cagliari lost to Lazio in the Coppa Italia last season.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lazio's ability to finally win Cagliari played a very positive role and greatly improved Lazio's morale.
But it is not a happy thing for Cagliari. Although Cagliari stepped on Lazio to win the first championship of the season at the beginning of the season, this still cannot relieve Cagliari, because almost all the main players appeared in the last match against Cagliari.
So when the game started, Cagliari's young players immediately declared their determination for the game with offense, and Montolivo made a direct pass to pass the ball to Palacio.
The latter used his speed and excellent skills to attack Lazio's defense. Lazio this season is not Lazio last season.
The head coach changed from Mancini to Camocaso, and the defense lost Favalli, Stam and Mikhailovich and other crucial players.
In the midfield, Albertini, Fiore and Stankovic have strengthened the forward line, but this enhancement is also quite limited.
It is also because of this that Lazio's current life in the league is not very easy. The Roma tycoon after the [-]th round can only be ranked in the middle.
In fact, this season's Roma duo have a hard time in the league. Lazio is in the middle, and Roma is even worse. It is currently in the lower reaches, with six points less than Lazio.
Palacio's speed is very fast, but as a South American player, Palacio's shortcomings are also obvious. Although he has joined Cagliari for several months, he doesn't care about Palacio's complete change at this time.
Speaking of this first wave of offense, if Palacio can pass the ball to Zola and cooperate with Zola, maybe Cagliari's first shot will be there.
No, the first shot at the opening still belonged to Cagliari. Although Palacio was intercepted outside the penalty area, the ball still fell at the feet of Zola behind.
After the Cagliari veteran took the ball, he immediately passed it diagonally to the right. Valbuena inserted at high speed. After attracting the attention of the defender, he kicked back to Cassetti.
"Peruzzi I didn't touch it It's too high." Cassetti's shot was strong enough, but it was a pity that he couldn't hit the goal frame.
Immediately, Peruzzi took a goal kick, but the ball was double-teamed by Carus and Montolivo just after halftime, and then the ball was intercepted by Carus, and the offense and defense were directly converted.
The ball came to the feet of the veteran Zola, Feeney on the left, Zola sent the ball to Feeney's feet, and the latter went down the sidewalk.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLThe goal is scoredCagliariOnly 3 minutes into the gameCagliari scored Lazio's goal."
"PalacioThe Argentine striker grabbed a point in the penalty area. Under the harassment of Lazio's defensive players, Palacio chose to use a down-to-the-ground tackle to send the ball into Lazio's goal."
This goal can be described as quite an accident. When Palacio sent the ball into the Lazio goal, the Cagliari people had not yet reacted.
After all, Palacio has only been here for a few months, and the number of appearances is not too many, and the previous few goals were not scored by rushing, so Cagliari fans have no hope at all.
"The opening goal is the tradition of Cagliari, which also means that the game has entered the rhythm of Cagliari," said the commentary from Rome.
In fact, this is indeed the case. After taking the lead, Cagliari won a big victory in the period, and the offensive was even more powerful, and soon expanded the advantage to two goals.
No.15 minutes, Feeney entered the baseline again along the wing, but this time he did not pass the ball into the penalty area, but passed it to Zola outside the penalty area.
In Valbuena, the French rushed into the penalty area with his short body, dexterous movement and speed, and Zola's pass was also very comfortable. When it passed to Valbuena, the French did not need to make adjustments at all.
2:0, the Frenchman broke through the goal guarded by Peruzzi again with a strong shot. The 35-year-old goalkeeper's reflexes are no longer comparable to his youth. Facing Valbuena's strong shot, there is no way at all.
However, 2:0 is not the final score of the first half. No. 30 minutes, Palacio's breakthrough with the ball caused a foul by Lazio's defenders, and it was still a foul in the penalty area.
Although the referee did not draw a card, a penalty kick was inevitable, and it was the veteran Zola who took the penalty kick. The latter made it overnight and rewritten the score to 3:0.
This score basically declared the end of the game, and even the end of this knockout round. Although Camocaso made adjustments at the beginning of the second half, this did not change the result of Lazio's defeat.
5:1, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the whole game, a bloody 5:1 on the card register announced the cruelty of the game to the Lazio people.
Even if the relationship between Cagliari and Lazio is not bad, the so-called enemy of an enemy is a friend. Lazio and Rome are rivals in the same city, and Cagliari and Rome became rivals after the feud last season. Therefore, the relationship between Lazio and Cagliari has become very good.
Even when Cagliari went to Rome to play against Roma, Lazio fans would support and even support Cagliari in the away game.
But when the two teams play, they become enemies again and, of course, Cagliari and Lazio fans are much more relaxed with each other than with other players.
So for Cagliari's big victory, Lazio fans were quite unhappy, after all, the two teams had a good relationship before.
