Chapter 188
Switzerland is regarded as the most beautiful and richest country in Europe, and Zurich, as the capital of Switzerland, is not to mention, known as the world's safest, wealthiest, and highest living standard city.
For football, Zurich is also a special existence, because the headquarters of FIFA is here.
But Lazio didn't come here for fun, and they were not in the mood to play. After all, they came to this city as enemies, and their opponent was Zurich Football Club.
At Zurich's home court, the Magic Runway Stadium, Zurich and Lazio kicked off the third game of the Europa League group stage.
In this game, the old Lazio coach made a lot of rotations, and Klose, who has always been unshakable, was also placed on the bench.
But this is not surprising. Before the national team, Klose suffered a small injury. Later, he played with the injury in the Rome derby. Although it did not aggravate, but for the next league, rotations are necessary. After all, Klose is not young.
Therefore, in this match, the forward line is the twin tower combination of Lin Dong and Kozak. Of course, Lin Dong's body is not very tall, but absolutely no one will question Lin Dong's header ability.
In the midfield, the injured Mauri finally ushered in his debut this season. In addition, there are Matuzaren, Canna, Scully, and the defense has also changed a lot.
This rotation is not because Rhea doesn't value this game. In fact, Zurich itself is not strong. In addition, there will be a league in three days. In the case of double matches a week, Rhea can only choose this way.
But even so, Lazio still showed the demeanor of a strong Serie A team. Although most of the main players were rotated, Lazio is still stronger than Zurich in terms of strength.
In the opening No. 13 minutes, Lazio broke the deadlock. Since they played two centers, the tactics must be around Lin Dong and Kozak.
No, Lazio broke the deadlock because of a cross from the wing. Mauri, who was recovering from injury and ushering in the first game of the season, was particularly excited. Lazio's first goal and assist came from Mauri.
After he broke through from the side, he made a pass from the bottom. Kozak jumped high in the front point, but this was just a feint. The real killing intent came in the back point, on the huge No. 99.
Lin Dongli overwhelmed the defensive player and shook his head with a lion. Zurich goalkeeper Guattelli's attention was all on Kozak, and he didn't even consider Lin Dong's later point.
Lazio opened the scoring for the first time, while Lin Dong continued his good form. On the sidelines, Rhea also cheered for Lin Dong's goal, but what made Rhea even more happy was Lin Dong's performance in more than ten minutes.
Rhea found that Lin Dong's progress was too fast, as if he suddenly soared after one game. As for that game, it was naturally the Rome Derby.
Although Lin Dong's performance in this game was not as crazy as in the Rome Derby, he could see Lin Dong's progress, and this point was further proved in the following time.
Lazio's second goal came from Lin Dong's involvement. Kozak scored his first goal of the season.
Recently, Kozak has been under a lot of pressure. In the friendly match before the start of the season, Kozak was in very good condition, and the media and fans are also full of expectations for his performance in the new season.
But the result was disappointing. In the first few rounds, Kozak didn't score any goals, but his performance on the court was also very small. In the end, Lin Dong succeeded in stealing the spotlight after three rounds.
Especially after the last Rome derby, Lin Dong's hat-trick surprised the whole of Italy. Under this general trend, it became more and more difficult for Kozak.
In the words of the Italian media, it was not that Lin Dong performed too well, but that Lazio's striker was really unsatisfactory, and Kozak became a victim of the media.
In the No. 206th minute of the game, just 13 minutes after the first goal, Lin Dong's continuous back and forth running in the Zurich penalty area involved the defender.
Matuzaren made a cross, Kozak rushed to the goal, and Lazio rewritten the score to 2:0, but this was not the final score of the first half.
At the end of the half, Zurich caught a mistake in Lazio's defense and scored a goal from their midfielder Nikki. The final score of the first half was 2:1.
However, at the beginning of the second half, Lazio re-extended the advantage to two goals. This time, Scully scored the goal, not Lin Dong. This guy who can play forward and midfielder can be regarded as a super substitute.
Although this is the first game, he still scored a goal. This performance is much better than Kozak and Rocky.
Lin Dong retreated to pull out the defensive player, Kozak desperately squeezed into the small penalty area, which allowed Scully to find an open space, and then the ball was passed to Scully's feet, who shot hard without hesitation.
After extending the advantage to two goals again, Rhea began to deploy troops to reserve strength for the next league. First, Mauri was replaced, and Lin Dong was also replaced by the old captain Rocky in 10 minutes.
Lin Dong was puzzled by this substitution. After all, his physical fitness was so good. Although he had already played most of the game, he didn't feel too tired and could play the entire game.
3:1 was also the final score of the game. In the following time, although Lazio had the advantage, they failed to score goals. As for Zurich, they also made a few good counterattacks. Unfortunately, after a mistake, Lazio's defense finally cheered up and resolved Zurich's offense one by one.
After three rounds, the situation of the group has gradually become clear. Lazio is currently ranked first in the group with two wins and one tie with 7 points.
The second is Sporting Lisbon with two wins and one loss. The Portuguese giants stood in Vaslu in the third group match and currently has 6 points. No.3 is Vaslu with 2 points, and Zurich is at the bottom with 1 point.
Obviously, the next is the group top battle between Lazio and Sporting Lisbon, as for Vasloo and Zurich?Basically bid farewell to the UEFA Cup.
After this game, Lazio also ushered in six consecutive victories in various competitions. From the fourth round of the league to the last round of the Rome Derby, they won four consecutive victories and two leagues in the Europa League.
In this six-game winning streak, Lin Dong is undoubtedly the most dazzling one. He scored twice from his first substitute appearance in the fourth round, although he scored goals in both the league and the Europa League.
Currently, Lin Dong has scored 6 goals in the league, and Lin Dong has unknowingly climbed to the top scorer list. After seven rounds, Lin Dong's 6 goals put a lot of Serie A superstars under him.
You know, behind Lin Dong are Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Di Natale, Milito and others who have already confirmed their names.
It's not that I don't want to do more, but that I'm powerless,
