Rome Olympic Stadium.

Very big.

Really big.Bigger than Manchester United's Old Trafford.The capacity exceeds 10 people, and there are more than 8 seats alone.It is one of the five-star stadiums in Europe.But Su Yun is not envious at all.

Because Italy is different from England.

They are not allowed to privately own the stadium.So the Stadio Olimpico is the common home of the two clubs, Lazio and Roma.

In England, basically every football club has its own stadium.

And the stadium is the cultural inheritance link of a club.

Like when Ken Bates bought Chelsea, Stamford Bridge was already bet on the bank.Later, Ken Bates spent a lot of energy and money in order to get back the Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Even a lot of the money was borrowed by Ken Bates from the bank.

In fact, Chelsea had a lot of options at the time.

But Stamford Bridge carries the century-old history of Chelsea, so Ken Bates will be obsessed with regaining Stamford Bridge.And when Ken Bates took Stamford Bridge back, the Chelsea fans were singing and dancing.

Because Stanford Stadium is Chelsea.

And these stadiums in Italy are national.

The club can only be on loan.

But with such a big stadium, not many fans came today.

In Su Yun's opinion, for such an important game as the Champions League, there should be a lot of fans.There is no [-], [-] or [-] should be required.At Chelsea, tickets for such an important game are very tight.Many fans were unable to buy tickets.

But today there are a lot of vacancies in the Stadio Olimpico.

piece by piece.

The number of fans who came today is less than 5.

It is estimated that there are at most [-] people.It is completely different from Su Yun's imagination.

Su Yun played at Wembley, Old Trafford and Camp Nou.The fans in these stadiums are crazy.

The stadium is full during games.

Su Yun always thought that the Rome Olympic Stadium would be the same.

Even before the game, Su Yun was worried about the momentum of Lazio fans.The pressure on the visitors from the 7 United fans at Old Trafford was enormous.Su Yun was very worried about this.

Unexpectedly!

Such a big pitch.Half the place is empty.

Empty!

The game was about to start, Su Yun came out from the locker room and was completely stunned when he saw the fans at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

This is Lazio's home stadium?

This is the home of the Serie A league known as the "Little World Cup"?

Su Yun has been in England for the seventh season, and he never knew there was such a thing.In England, neither in the lower leagues nor in the top league, has there been such an empty game.

At Dagenham, that's England's fifth tier.

At that time, Dagenham was a relegation team in the British and African Union, and even had the possibility of relegation.Relegation is England's sixth tier.But there are still more than 2000 fans watching each game live.

After that, Dagenham went to the 6000-capacity Victoria Stadium in the English League C, which was full.Although it is a small League C league, Dagenham fans can't buy tickets for some important games.

Later, Su Yun came to Sunderland.

Sunderland's Stadium of Light has a capacity of 4.And Sunderland is a small place with less than 20 people.But every time there is a game, the stadium will be full.It's just an ordinary League Cup match.It is very normal for the attendance rate of the stadium to be [-]% or [-]%.

Although in terms of the number of fans at the scene, they are about the same.

But where is Sunderland?Where is Rome?

Sunderland is considered by many people in London to be a native of the north. It is a rural place with a total population of less than 20 people, old and young.Rome is the political and cultural center of Italy and the capital of Italy.

How come there are so few fans in Lazio?

Didn't Lazio just win the Serie A title?

Su Yun couldn't figure it out no matter what he thought.

Look at the attendance of Premier League teams.

Su Yun was a little disappointed.

It is completely different from the Serie A league I thought of.There are too few people.

Su Yun and Zaccheroni shook hands briefly, and then returned to their benches.

But on the way back, Su Yun could clearly hear all kinds of abuse.

Very harsh curses.

It contains racist remarks.

Su Yun just frowned.

When Su Yun first arrived in England, he also encountered a lot of racial discrimination.However, as Su Yun's status in British football has been steadily rising, it is already difficult to hear racial discrimination against Su Yun on the field.

It has been a long time.

Su Yun heard the angry curse again.

Su Yun's impression of Lazio dropped to the extreme in an instant.

But Su Yun didn't say anything.Go on and sit on the bench.

…………

"Hi everyone, this is the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. A Champions League match is about to start here. What we are broadcasting live is the Group D match of the first round of the UEFA Champions League in the 01-02 season. Chelsea and Serie A from the Premier League The game between Lazio. Let me introduce the lineup of the two sides first."

"Look at the lineup of the home team first. The goalkeeper is Petrucci. The back line is Favalli, Stam, Nesta, the midfield is Simeone, Stankovic, Cesar, Mendieta, Feo. Ray, up front is Lopez and Crespo."

"Eriksson, who led Lazio to win the Serie A championship, became the head coach of the England national team, and Zoff replaced him. However, Zoff's results were mediocre. This season Lazio appointed Zaccheroni as the head coach of Lazio. "

"Zaccheroni is an attacking coach. Look at Lazio's squad, this is the formation Zaccheroni is going to play in."

"Look at Chelsea's squad. Cudicini in goal, Sorin, Desailly, Terry, Panucci at the back. Kewell, Lampard, Williams, Pobo in midfield. Ski, with Zola and Hasselbaink up front."

"Chelsea are in very good shape. Not only have they won the five crowns. They are now in the Premier League. Their lineup has hardly changed from what the media predicted."

Looking at the players, the commentator has already started work.

As long as you compare it, you will know what the gap is.

In the current Chelsea team, Desailly and Zola are the most famous.Both used to be famous players in Serie A, but unfortunately they are all too old.In the eyes of Serie A fans, they went to Chelsea to retire.

And of course Panucci.

It's just that Panucci was also abandoned by Inter Milan.

In addition to the three of them, Williams is now the most famous.

But more people think he was blown out by the British media.

Because Williams suddenly exploded.

Except for a few of them, the other players are not well-known.Among the Italian goalkeepers, Cudicini can't even rank as a substitute. Some of those other people have been famous for a while, but they have disappeared from European football for a long time.

But Lazio's players are different.

All of them are famous generals.

Nesta is known as Italy's most talented defender and Stam's main central defender for the Dutch national team.Once helped Manchester United win the Triple Crown, Simeone is the main midfielder of the Argentine national team.

A goalkeeper like Petrucci.Once the best goalkeeper in the world.

Except they talk about the other two.

Mendieta.

A talented midfielder, the captain who led Valencia to two Champions League finals.The La Liga star who just transferred to Lazio for 4800 million euros this summer.

Let's talk about Crespo.

In order to introduce Crespo, Lazio spent 5500 million euros.And Crespo did not live up to Lazio's money.In Serie A and other cup competitions last season, including the national team, he scored a total of fifty goals.

In addition to them, there is another person, Lopez.The transfer value also reached nearly 3000 million euros.When Fiore came to Lazio, he was worth about 800 million euros.

The players in Lazio's current lineup are all expensive to transfer.

The transfer worth of Gianni Keida, who is sitting on the bench, is also worth 500 million euros.

This is Lazio now.

Compared with the transfer value and fame alone, Chelsea should face Lazio directly.

Lazio's style of play has changed a bit in this game.

It uses a three-back style of play.

Su Yun's most important thing in this game is Mendieta.

Not because his transfer fee is high, but because he is really strong.Although Su Yun and Valencia have not played a game.But Su Yun watched Valencia's game carefully.

Mendieta is a genius.

An offensive genius.

If you let his offense go, let him have space.So few people can prevent him.

So Su Yun's idea is very simple.

Mendieta must be guarded.Mendieta must not be given too much space to display.

For this reason, Su Yun not only retreated Lampard to help Williams defend.Then put Hasselbaink at the front and Zola at the back.

In the away game, Su Yun was really low-key.

Whether it is before the game or in the formation of troops.It's all very low-key.

But Zaccheroni, a lunatic, plays with a back three.The three-back style of play is actually not much in European football. If it is said that there were many strong teams playing three-back in the past.So now, there are very few strong teams playing three backs.

Because the three defenders have high requirements for the two wings.

It's like Bayern's Lizarazu and Salihamidzic and Sagnol.Without such a good player, it is really courting death to play with three defenders.

Zaccheroni is crazy.

In his eyes, Chelsea is a cat and a dog, and he can handle it as he pleases.There is no such powerful midfielder as Gianni Keida in the lineup.Underestimated Chelsea.

"Dududu-"

The referee's whistle sounded.

It was Chelsea who kicked off first.

"The game has begun. In Group D, it is generally believed that Lazio and Chelsea are the two strongest teams. It is believed that these two teams should be able to appear in this group."

"Hopefully these two teams can bring an exciting game."
