Chapter 236: 107 (Twenty/One Hundred Thirty-Four)
Udinese also knows what this game means to Lazio. M
Although they don't want to be part of the Lazio legend.
They don't want to be the green leaves that set off the red flowers.
But the huge gap in strength between the top still makes Udinese powerless.
After the start of the game, Udinese surrendered after resisting for more than 20 minutes.
Rocky opened the scoring for the team.
Then before the end of the first half, Giroud made a header and expanded the score to 2:0.
The game also lost its suspense.
For Lazio, all that remains is whether they can catch up to Milan's record of 107 goals in the 1950-1951 season.
Now Lazio has scored 104 goals, three goals away from Milan's record.
Now the difference of three goals is not too difficult for Lazio.
It depends on whether Lazio wants to do this.
Just after the start of the second half, Cazorla scored another goal to help Lazio lead Udinese 3-0 at home.
"One hundred and five goals! This is Lazio's 105th league goal this season! They are only two goals away from Milan! We are watching the birth of a new legend!" commentator Caresa said excitedly.
When Milan set the record fifty-nine years ago, many thought it was impossible to break it.
After all, modern football pays more and more attention to defense, and it becomes more and more difficult to score goals.
You can tell by looking at the scorer list in Serie A.
Before Toni, the top scorer hadn't had more than thirty balls in half a century.
Unexpectedly, in this season, Lazio, who is always victorious, has the hope of tying or even breaking this record!
One hundred and seven goals in one season...
In the five major European leagues, apart from Milan, there is no team that can do it!
Check it out now.
The ever-victorious Lazio is the number one in the arsenal on duty.
When Guardiola's Barcelona was still entangled with Real Madrid for the league title, the ever-victorious Lazio had already begun to break various records, and they were not at the same level at all.
So it's no wonder that Chang Sheng would mock the Catalan media with disdain. Barcelona really can't compare with this Lazio.
It has nothing to do with league competitiveness. Even if Serie A falls again. Lazio also stood out from the crowd. They are a well-known strong team throughout Europe, and not just anyone can underestimate them.
As for the specific end of contempt. Please refer to Barcelona...

"Two goals away!" When Cazorla scored, assistant coach Di Matteo yelled next to Chang Sheng with clenched fists.
Chang Sheng rolled his eyes at him: "Promising! It's still three goals away!"
"Three goals short?" Di Matteo didn't react for a moment.
"Yes, we are still three goals away from creating a new record for our Lazio, completely leaving Milan behind! Who wants to keep pace with them!"
Di Matteo also reacted. He patted his forehead excitedly: "This is good! This is very good!"
Rudy Gonzalez has already walked to the sidelines to convey the latest instructions from the coaching staff to the players on the field.
"Keep attacking! Try to score more goals!"
※ ※ ※
The unbeaten season has become unimportant, because Lazio is sure to be unbeaten this season.
And even if the season is undefeated, Lazio is not alone, which will somewhat make this result not so brilliant.
Now, from players to commentators, everyone is concerned about whether they can break Milan's record.
Even rival Udinese are aware of it.
So they also made adjustments.
They can't beat Lazio anymore, and Lazio is definitely unbeaten this season. But they can still fight to prevent Lazio from completing another new record on their heads.
It's all death, and Udinese can at least choose to die with dignity.
So they began to shrink the defense and replaced the striker. Put on defenders and midfielders.
The whole team huddled in the penalty area, sticking to the 30-meter area.
Just keep Lazio from scoring.
The Italian teams all have a defensive tradition, and defense has been integrated into their blood, bone marrow and genes.
When they really want to shrink their defense, Lazio really has no good way.
At this time, passing the ball back and forth is useless, they just stay still, no matter how you pass outside, how you control the ball, even if you increase the ball possession rate to 99%, it will not help. You can't pass the ball forward, you can't form a shot, you can't score a goal...
So Chang Sheng also made adjustments. He replaced Ledesma and Modric.
Both of these guys are good long-range players.
The purpose is very clear, which is to strengthen long-range shots.
Faced with this kind of complete iron barrel formation, only long-range shooting is the most economical method.
※ ※ ※
So next, everyone saw a very strange game.
Udinese shrunk in their own penalty area, and the whole Lazio team pressed forward, bombarding Udinese's penalty area indiscriminately - it was a real indiscriminate bombardment, shooting with the ball, or flying, Either it hits someone, and the scene is extremely tragic.
After flying a few times, Lazio themselves made adjustments, and their players tried to keep the football as low as possible when shooting from long distances.
In this case, even if the kick is not within the range of the goal frame, it can still hit the opponent's player, causing a change of direction and getting a corner kick. Of course, the best result seems to be a goal...
In the 70th minute, Lazio finally scored a goal with continuous long-range bombing.
Modric's long-range shot from outside the penalty area hit the Udinese player, and the rebound changed direction and fell right at the feet of Rocky in the penalty area! The old captain took a shot without hesitation, and the football flew into the empty goal. Udinese's goalkeeper fell to the ground because of the long-range shot from Modric just now, and he hadn't had time to make a second save.
"The one hundred and sixth ball!!"
The Lazio players knew exactly what they were going to do, so they didn't celebrate. Giroud, who was closest to the goal, rushed into the goal immediately, picked up the football, turned and ran to the middle circle.
※ ※ ※
Pacheco, who was watching the game from the stands, was probably the one who most hoped that Lazio would not complete the record.
Because this record belongs to his beloved Milan.
He felt that he was born to win abnormally. Because this Chinese has always had trouble with Milan since his debut.
When he was in Valencia, he broke Milan's unbeaten record in the five major European leagues, and he hadn't shown the slightest respect for his predecessors, which made him very angry at the time.
Later his first European Cup. It was also obtained by stepping on Milan's corpse. The quarter-finals were lost first and then won. There was a big reversal, and the defending champion was beaten into a mess. The 5-0 victory over Milan at home has created the record for the largest loss in the history of the Milan club in the Champions League.
Pacheco hated the Chinese even more.
So when I heard that Chang Sheng was coming to coach Roma, he was one of the people who reacted the most.
He is the one who said that Chang Sheng is not suitable for Serie A, and he is the one who said that Chang Sheng will definitely leave in despair.
Although Chang Sheng suffered setbacks in Rome. But soon made a comeback in Lazio.
This time Lazio took aim at Milan's scoring record in a single season... Are they specifically against Milan?
※ ※ ※
After conceding the fourth goal, Udinese's defense did not scatter. Because Lazio has not yet tied Milan's record after all, this is the reason and motivation for their efforts.
As long as Lazio has not tied the record, they don't have to be nailed to the pillar of shame.
There is still one ball short, and they will try their best to keep it!
And Lazio wants to collapse Udinese, the method is also very simple, just score another goal.
Score another goal. Easier said than done.
There was some luck in Lazio's last goal.
If it hadn't been for the ball to fall right at Rocky's feet... Maybe Lazio is still working hard for the 106th goal.
In such a dense defense, even the personal flash is not easy to use.
Because there is no space for you to dribble and break through to display your personal skills.
Riquelme is a star who can pass on a stamp. But in the Udinese penalty area today, there is not even room for a stamp.
So I still have to rely on long-range shots...
But the opponent obviously strengthened the defense against long-range shots.
Lazio needs some changes.
※ ※ ※
Eighty-fifth minute. Modric took the ball outside the Udinese penalty area and made a gesture to shoot from long distance, but distributed the ball to the wing.
Coentrao who plugged in from the side crossed directly!
Giroud jumped high in the middle, and then scored with a header!
Lazio did not shoot from a long distance, but suddenly came with a cross from the wing, which greatly exceeded Udinese's expectations. They were not prepared enough, and only one Udinese player was defending next to Giroud... For a high center forward like Giroud, this kind of defense is useless!
This simple, rude, unreasonable method works very well.
The Udinese goalkeeper missed the save, and the football flew into the goal for the fifth time in this game!
"The one hundred and seventh goal——!" Caresa yelled almost as soon as the football flew into the goal!
"They equaled Milan's record!! AMAZING! AMAZING!"
Pacheco in the media seat saw the goal and threw the notebook and pen in his hand to the ground.
"Fuck! Lazio, son of a bitch! Chinese, son of a bitch!"
It was originally a record exclusive to Milan, but now it is going to be shared with Lazio. He is very upset, very, very upset!
It's fine with other teams, he just can't bear to share it with Lazio, which he hates the most.
He felt disgusted when he thought that everyone would mention the Serie A single-season scoring record in the future, and when they mentioned Milan's name, they would add Lazio.
But now that it's done, what can he do?
If swearing was all it took to keep this from happening, he could go on and on for ninety minutes.
Unfortunately not.
So he cursed a few words, then picked up the notebook and pen that he had thrown on the ground, and then sat on the seat, staring at the court blankly.
Every time he confronted Chang Sheng, he could only experience this feeling in the end.
Powerless, hopeless, lost.
