Chapter 61 Boas's Obsession

The day of the decisive battle came in the blink of an eye.

On the day of the match, people began to gather around the Wanda Stadium, Lazio's home stadium, from the afternoon.

However, most of them were not Lazio fans, but Real Madrid fans of the visiting team.

This time, there were 5,000 Real Madrid fans who came to cheer for their team, hoping to contribute to the team in the last battle, so that they could perform beyond their normal level and beat Lazio away.

However, Lazio did not fulfill their wishes and was not moved by the spirit of the Real Madrid fans. They only gave Real Madrid 2,000 tickets for the visiting fans.

In other words, more than 5,000 people came, but no more than half of them could enter the stadium to cheer for the team.

Such a small number of people is useless in front of more than 70,000 Lazio fans!

And they will be arranged at the top of the stands, in the corner, where the view is not good. If you don't use a telescope, you can't see anything there.

Even if you shout your throat out there, it will not affect the stadium.

Before the game, some Madrid media criticized Lazio for this practice, saying it was not authentic.

In response, Lazio said: "It is our business to arrange the visiting fans, and you are not qualified to make comments."

The attitude was very tough, and they did not even bother to find excuses to cover it up.

However, this is also the domineering attitude that Lazio has developed over the past decade.

They did not take Real Madrid seriously at all.

Although Real Madrid is known as the best team of the 20th century, it is an honor from the last century after all, and it has no meaning for Real Madrid now.

On the contrary, in the past decade, Real Madrid has not won any European honors, and it is also indistinguishable from Barcelona in La Liga. In terms of the achievements and influence of the past decade, they are far behind Lazio.

Lazio naturally has reason to look down on them.

※ ※ ※

Lazio's tough attitude made many Madrid media very unhappy. They all hope that Real Madrid can give the arrogant Lazio a head-on blow away from home,

beat Lazio, win, and qualify from the group!

Real Madrid Club also attaches great importance to this game. Florentino, the president of Real Madrid Club, personally rushed to Rome with a group of club executives to cheer for his team.

Secondly, Boas started closed training a week ago, just to keep the players away from interference. Training seriously.

And the players of Real Madrid are in good condition. Because of the rotation, their main players have been rested, and there are no serious injuries.

Real Madrid has a complete staff and strong troops. Before leaving for the away game. They also sacrificed Osasuna in the league and won 8:1 at home in the league.

This big victory restored the confidence of the players and swept away the haze brought by the fluctuating performance of the team under Benitez.

The atmosphere in the Real Madrid team suddenly became better.

There are no more rumors of discord in the locker room, and no rumors that a certain player is going to transfer away.

Everyone is smiling in front of the camera.

Some reporters from the Madrid media couldn't help but sigh that this kind of Real Madrid is the Real Madrid that can bring us hope. Real Madrid Club decisively dismissed Benítez and chose Villas-Boas, which was absolutely correct!

Villas-Boas also proved with a hearty 8:1 that he was the "Son of Destiny" of Real Madrid!

This sounds particularly corny, but that's how the media is. They can flatter you as corny as they want, and they can fabricate any reason to belittle you, but they don't have any rhythm at all.

The 8:1 home sweep of Osasuna really gave Villas-Boas full confidence. It felt particularly good, even a little overwhelming.

So at the pre-match press conference, Villas-Boas stated that his mission was to lead Real Madrid to defeat Lazio, and said that he didn't care whether Lazio rotated in the last game.

"I am very familiar with Lazio. I am also familiar with Changsheng. I have this confidence!"

In addition to his necessary duties as the head coach of Real Madrid, Villas-Boas was so excited because of his grievances with Changsheng.

As Mourinho's assistant coach, he played against Changsheng many times, so let's not talk about it.

Let's talk about what happened after he went solo.

The first time he coached a top team. It was in Porto, and he took over the team after his predecessor was fired because of the loss to Changsheng.

How similar is the situation now?

At that time, Boas was also full of energy and wanted to defeat Changsheng to prove his ability.

As a result, he was severely beaten by Changsheng.

Fortunately, this failure did not affect his coaching career - because at that time, no one expected him to really lead Porto to defeat Changsheng, except himself.

Many people may have forgotten the failure of that game after a while. Only Boas kept it in his heart.

He thought it was a humiliation given to him by Changsheng, who slapped him hard in the face in public.

He has always remembered this slap in his heart.

This slap in the face is also the source of power that constantly reminds him and urges him to strive for growth.

Whenever he encounters setbacks, difficulties, and doubts himself, he will think of this slap in the face. Then he will cheer up again.

Because he hasn't returned the slap to Changsheng yet!

When he coached Manchester City, he had defeated Lazio two seasons ago.

That night, Boas got himself drunk.

But after waking up, he felt that he was very naive.

Because the game at that time was not a big deal for Lazio.

Lazio had already determined to qualify as the first in the group, and Manchester City had long lost the hope of qualifying.

In the last game, Changsheng didn't send the main players at all, so it was normal to lose to him, Boas.

Such a game, people didn't take it seriously, only he was so excited, it was really embarrassing...

Then Boas has been waiting for a better revenge opportunity.

Until Real Madrid fired Benítez, he realized that his revenge opportunity had come!

The predecessor was also fired. The same halfway appointment, and the same face the ever-victorious Lazio.

But this time there is a little difference.

Real Madrid still has hope of qualifying, as long as they can beat Lazio, they can qualify.

Lazio did not send out substitutes to humiliate him in this game, but went all out.

Only by defeating such Lazio can Boas feel that he has succeeded in revenge and truly returned the slap to Changsheng!

There are still more than ten minutes before the game with Lazio. Boas stood in the locker room and excitedly mobilized before the war.

"This is our last chance. Will we become heroes or losers who are cursed by others? In this game! The glory of Real Madrid cannot be ruined in our hands! For victory, for glory! Forget our previous record against them, and then give everything in this game! Go all out!"

Boas waved his arms vigorously. He waved without saying a word.

In the end, his whole hairstyle was messed up, but he didn't care at all.

At this time, he was almost in a state of madness.

He believed that the players of Real Madrid were also infected by his blazing fighting spirit and were burning.

Then keep burning!

Go on the court and burn everything!

The aggressive head coach came out with an aggressive eleven players.

※ ※ ※

At the same time, in the Lazio dressing room, the atmosphere was not so passionate.

Changsheng said to his players: "Although we have already qualified from the group and are the first in the group. But we have to show our sportsmanship to the world. Take every game seriously. Every opponent, go all out to defeat them is our greatest respect for them! I think Real Madrid will be happy."

Then he waved his hand, and the players came out.

※ ※ ※

Everyone is looking forward to this fierce battle like Mars hitting the Earth.

No matter who wins or loses. This scene must be intense, lively and beautiful, and it is best that the game process is suspenseful and **. Another group fight, two yellow cards, etc.... All the elements of a classic battle are gathered.

Dreams are always particularly beautiful and full. But reality is cruel and skinny.

Real Madrid, who has a great goal in mind and gets goosebumps just thinking about it, was hit by Lazio nine minutes into the game!

"Mario Gotze--!! Gotze--!! He scored the first goal for Lazio! It's only been nine minutes since the start of the game! Lazio has taken the lead at home!"

When the Germans were running wildly to celebrate. Behind them were the bewildered Real Madrid players.

They stared blankly at the background of Gotze running wildly, or at the football in the goal that was no longer bouncing.

They still can't accept it at all, and can't figure out why they lost the ball less than ten minutes after the game started?

Is their performance not good enough?

The state they entered the game was already fast...

But Lazio was faster than them!

There was a series of violent attacks at the beginning, and Real Madrid couldn't even raise their heads.

Adding the overwhelming shouts of the Wanda Stadium, the Real Madrid players' brains swelled, and their bodies unconsciously stiffened a little-these were all things they didn't know and didn't react to at the time.

By the time they reacted, the football had already stopped in their goal.

Real Madrid's captain and central defender Varane was particularly helpless. He had a bitter face and his hands on his hips. Facing all this, he didn't know what to do.

It seemed that a string in his heart... broke.

He had a bad feeling that this trip to the Wanda Stadium might have a very bad ending...
