Chapter 74 Is This Pride and Underestimation of the Enemy!

Gamba Osaka thinks they have a good chance of beating Lazio as long as they keep attacking.

In fact they do the same.

The Japanese fans in the stands booed Lazio non-stop, or cheered for every attack of Gamba Osaka.

Even if these Japanese fans are not all fans of Gamba Osaka.

At this moment, they are all Japanese fans, fighting for Japanese football and the dignity of Japan!

They would feel that they had disgraced Japan if they let their opponents laugh at them blatantly before the game without any retaliation, and finally lost the game.

A matter of national dignity!

When Gamba Osaka attacks, the cheers of Japanese fans will be heard from the stands.

And when Lazio took the ball, Chang Sheng could clearly hear the "Ba Ga" from the stands.

In the past, I could only hear it in anti-Japanese movies and TV dramas, but now I can still hear it personally on the spot... Chang Sheng thinks it is really "nostalgic".

Now Gamba Osaka is attacking, and the screams of Japanese fans in the stands can be heard one after another.

It looked like they were enjoying it.

Chang Sheng looked back at the stands behind the coach's bench.

There, he saw a lot of Japanese fans, they were wearing Gamba Osaka jerseys, and some were holding slogans that were abnormal, anti-Lazio, and anti-Italy. Italy is really lying...

But these people can't care less about scolding Chang Sheng and Lazio now, they have a kind of fanaticism on their faces, cheering for Gamba Osaka.

The corner of Chang Sheng's mouth twitched and he sneered.

Are you happy now?

It will soon make you laugh out loud!

Gamba Osaka's attack did not succeed.

Their attack was stopped here by Chiellini.

Compared with last season's Chiellini,

There are more opportunities to play, which can be clearly seen. His status is on the rise.

He is already Lazio's third centre-back. Whether it's Jose Passarella or Francisco Pavon, he can play as their backup.

Because of the ever-victorious rotation policy, Chiellini has had 14 league appearances so far this season.

You must know that the league has only played sixteen rounds so far.

Almost every game can be on the court.

Even if he is not a starter, he can also come off the bench.

Changsheng will use up three substitutions in every game.

Chiellini may still lack stability in playing the main force in Serie A and the Champions League, but in the Club World Cup, facing the Japanese team, he is like a steel wall.

This time, he broke the ball from the Gamba Osaka team, and without entanglement with the opponent, he directly passed the football to Candreva in front.

this game. Lazio's starting lineup can also prove from the side that Chang Sheng "proudly underestimates the enemy" and does not take Gamba Osaka seriously.

That is the game, the main players like Cavani, Cazorla, Modric, Jose Passarella did not start.

In its place is a rotation.

The starting center is Giroud, wingers Gotze and Rocky. The organizers in the midfield are Motta, Ledesma and Candreva.

On the back line, the central defenders are Chiellini and Bonucci, the left back Coentrao, and the right back Azpilicueta.

The goalkeeper has been changed from Handanovic to Mirant.

This is almost the starting lineup for Changsheng to play the Coppa Italia.

It can be seen that in Changsheng's mind, the World Club Cup is dignified. It's just at the same level as the Coppa Italia.

While Candreva received the ball, he faced the personal marking of Gamba Osaka players.

It was the Japanese player's job to keep Candreva from turning around.

And Candreva did not turn around, but this does not mean that he was restricted by the Japanese players, so he was helpless.

He just didn't want to waste time.

He directly passed the football passed over.

The football passed from the Gamba Osaka players. He could see the football passing before his eyes. But because Candreva blocked him, there was nothing he could do.

Ledesma receives the ball from Candreva.

Similarly, there is a Gamba Osaka player preparing to intercept in front of him.

However, Ledesma did not entangle with the other party.

Motta has dropped back to meet him. And in addition to Motta, there are other players such as Candreva and Azpilicueta.

He has enough shots.

One-on-one defense of Japanese players. Nothing for Lazio.

Ledesma passed the ball to Candreva who turned and came up to meet him.

Candreva gave the ball directly to Motta without stopping the ball.

Motta turned his back to the attacking direction and tapped the ball with the outside of his foot. The football was passed sideways to Gotze.

※ ※ ※

The narrator became excited.

Gotze is the most star-studded player in this Lazio team.

He became famous in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid, and now he is famous all over the world.

Even in Japan, there are many fans of him.

Especially female fans.

Finally, the boos against Lazio were no longer just in the stands. For the first time, there was a burst of cheers, mainly female voices.

Of course, it was quickly suppressed by louder boos.

The Gamba Osaka players who faced Gotze were also very nervous.

Gotze is fast and skilled in footwork. Maybe you can be passed by him in the blink of an eye.

He didn't even dare to blink his eyes, and looked at Gotze desperately.

"Goetze has the ball! Will he break through!"

Sharp breakthroughs are what everyone likes to see.

The Japanese players defending him also put on a fight to the death.

But Gotze didn't mean to fight him to the death.

After making a breakthrough feint, Gotze divided the ball into the middle.

When everyone's attention was attracted by him, no one saw that Giroud had appeared in the deadliest position!

"Giroud—"

Amidst the narrator's yelling, the French high center swung his foot and hit the football hard with the outside of his instep.

Giroud's tricky shot, sticking to the turf, went straight to the lower left corner of the goal!

The goalkeeper of Gamba Osaka failed to make a save. This kick is too tricky...

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch the football, and he couldn't even touch the skin of the football.

The commentator didn't even expect the ball to be so close...

He froze for a moment, until the football rolled up the net, he shouted suddenly: "Girou!!! Dead corner! Beautiful goal! Lazio took the lead of Gamba Osaka in the fourth minute!"

The stands of the Tokyo National Stadium suddenly fell silent.

The fans of Gamba Osaka did not expect that the conceded goal would be so easy...

I only saw Lazio's continuous passing, and they tore open their defense, and then scored the goal.

When Giroud shot, he didn't even have a Gamba Osaka player by his side.

He can take it easy, even if he is a center forward who is better at heading the ball. It doesn't mean that he doesn't have any shooting ability at all - he is not Chen Yingxiong who just debuted...

It's like doing shooting practice in training. It's too easy for him to shoot.

Perhaps it was too easy, resulting in a lack of sense of accomplishment in scoring goals.

Giroud didn't even run to celebrate after scoring.

He just waved his fist, then turned and ran back.

The other teammates just came up to pat him, and then returned to their positions.

It's a completely different feeling from scoring goals in the league and in the Champions League.

It's not that they deliberately want to disgust Japanese fans. They really didn't think there was much to celebrate - they scored a goal four minutes into the game, and this opponent was too weak...

What's the point of scoring as many goals as possible for a team like this?

If we celebrate after scoring a goal, doesn't it look incompetent?

It's just that the subconscious actions of Lazio players, in the eyes of Japanese fans, are a provocation to them.

It was a matter of Chang Sheng. Japanese fans are very dissatisfied with Lazio.

They are very sensitive and vulnerable now, so they take every move of Lazio as a provocation and insult to them.

Lazio didn't celebrate, they thought it was looking down on them.

But what if Lazio celebrate wildly? They may also think that Lazio is showing off their power in front of them.

In short, as long as their buttocks are not sitting upright. No matter what Lazio do, they look questionable.

※ ※ ※

The Japanese fans booed, but it didn't help Gamba Osaka's equalizer in the slightest.

They are excitedly planning to attack Lazio and beat Lazio by attacking.

But I didn't expect that the game had only started for four minutes. They were filled with a ball by Lazio.

What's happening here?

The players of Gamba Osaka were stunned, a little overwhelmed.

It's not that they are proud and underestimate the enemy. Will it give us a chance?

But look at their performance... Is this an expression of pride and underestimation of the enemy?

Don't think we are easy to deceive!

We are also professional players, right?

How does this look like being proud and underestimating the enemy? !

But judging from Lazio's starting lineup and the remarks of the head coach before the game, this is the rhythm of being proud and underestimating the enemy!

How could it change as soon as the game came?

This unscientific!

There is no objective law!

This is unbelievable!

※ ※ ※

Conceding the ball in four minutes made Gamba Osaka think it was a coincidence and an accident.

When the game resumed, they rallied and planned to make a comeback.

It turned out that another four minutes passed.

In the eighth minute, Lazio scored another goal!

In the same way, Lazio's best continuous and rapid pass and cut unknowingly tore through Gamba Osaka's defense.

Another goal that wasn't even organized on defense.

"Lazio! Ah! Lazio! Two goals in eight minutes! Gamba Osaka is completely stunned!"

"Although saying this may make Japanese fans feel uncomfortable, I still have to say...it seems that what I often say is true. Gamba Osaka and Lazio are really not the same level of team. He really doesn't need to let this opponent go. In the eyes!"

Chang Sheng got up from the coach's bench, stood up and applauded.

That's all he's celebrating.

No excited hugs, fist pumps, or wild runs to celebrate.

Nothing at all.

He celebrated his team's two-goal lead over Gamba Osaka in this flat manner.
