Of course, the latter is purely a fantasy of some media.
In addition to the media betting on this game, Inter Milan is also betting on this game.
At present, the top three rankings and points in the league are like this. Sampdoria ranks first, Lazio ranks second with 17 points and Inter Milan ranks third with 16 points.
The three teams are one point short of each other, all within a game range.
Inter Milan’s round match should be held one day before. They are away to Genoa, and their opponents are not strong enough. It should not be a problem for Inter Milan to beat them. Then whether Inter Milan can secure the first place in the league depends on the results of Lazio and Sampdoria.
But in fact, no matter what the result is, it is not good for Inter Milan.
If Lazio wins, Lazio will surpass Inter Milan by 20 points and rank first by 19 points.
Sampdoria won Sampdoria by 21 points, surpassing Inter Milan.
The two sides tied Sampdoria and Inter Milan with 19 points, but Sampdoria was still the first because of the superior performance of the two sides.
But relatively speaking, the result of the draw is the best because Inter Milan can put Lazio under pressure and score with Sampdoria, which is conducive to catching up later.
Mourinho wants this game to be a draw.
He is easy to reap the benefits of fishing.
……
The first round of the league started on October 17th.
In the first game, Juventus drew 11 at home with Florence.
In the second game, Inter Milan swept Genoa at home 5!
Temporarily one-point advantage to the top
Then came the highlight of the league, Lazio’s home game against Sampdoria.
Sampdoria beat Inter Milan at home in the sixth round of the league, but it’s not enough to prove that they can change Serie A. They have to beat Lazio!
This game against Lazio is the real touchstone!
Otherwise, the front-line efforts will be meaningless.
Sampdoria himself knows this very well. There are several mountains in front of them. They have crossed the famous Inter Milan mountain, and Lazio is the biggest mountain. They must cross it or there is no way to go!
Chapter one hundred and forty-three Test
Before this game, many people fantasized about Lazio versus Sampdoria.
Especially Sampdoria fans, they fantasize that their team will beat Lazio away from home, just as they beat Inter Milan at home.
Then they can hold their heads high and announce that Sampdoria, the all-powerful Serie A team, is back!
They also fantasize about many ways to beat Lazio.
But when the game is real, they know that fantasy is fantasy after all.
There were great expectations for Lazio before the game, and people are now silent.
……
In this game, Sampdoria coach Delry was not carried away by the first place in the league and went to the Olympic Stadium in Rome to play against Lazio.
He chose defensive counterattack.
Although Sampdoria has made great progress in attack this season.
Because they have moved from Real Madrid to Cassano and Florence to pazzini.
But Delry didn’t dare to play against Lazio in this game.
Not to mention Serie A now, even in Europe, no team dares to play against Lazio.
An attack is a dead end.
It’s still Italian football-defense to deal with Lazio.
From a tactical point of view, Sampdoria made the right choice.
Defensive is better than offensive.
They also successfully defended their goal at half-time and drew with Lazio.
This once made Sampdoria fans and commentators and journalists who like Lazio to lose.
