"… always seems confident!"
"It’s often said that winning a goal in the first leg will eventually lead to Wembley and Lazio will be the team …"
"He won by one goal but still laughed. He fought with reporters at the press conference after the game …"
"It makes sense to talk a lot. Lazio have won the Serie A and then they need to concentrate on preparing for the Champions League. What about Manchester United? At present, they are six points ahead of the second place Chelsea in the Premier League, which is a great advantage, but there are still other possibilities with four rounds left in the League, so Manchester United will definitely have to invest more energy in the League, which will affect Manchester United’s preparation for the Champions League semi-final … "
"Lazio’s performance on the road is really good this season, which may bring confidence to us, but please don’t forget that it’s the semi-final of the Champions League, and whoever can win can advance to the final. In this context, Manchester United will inevitably have enough fighting power at their own home, which is completely different from surrendering Bayern Munich and Schalke 4 from the beginning of the game! If you always look at this game from an old perspective, I’m not surprised if Lazio is eliminated at Old Trafford … "
……
At that time, the media was full of expectation for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Just after the first round, the media heated up the second round.
Everyone can’t wait for the race horse to arrive in a week.
But of course, there can’t be another league game on the weekend, and neither of us can escape.
……
Ferguson express his confidence in winning that second leg and eliminate Lazio after the game.
Ferguson was in a good mood after the first leg.
This kind of mood is reflected in his jokes with reporters when interviewed by the media.
Ferguson certainly has reason to be so happy.
He was gratified by the team’s performance after conceding a goal, so he saw the confidence to win Lazio in the second leg.
Of course, Ferguson is not happy for such a simple reason.
Some media have analyzed that Lazio is in a better situation than Manchester United because they have won the championship before, so they don’t have to pester each other in the league to concentrate on dealing with Manchester United.
But what Ferguson actually knows is exactly the opposite of what the media said.
Lazio do not compete for the championship, but they still have to compete for another thing, that is, winning the league and ending the season.
This makes them unable to relax in every league game.
Especially when Lazio opponents are Juventus, their only advantage is their home game.
Manchester United’s opponents are not weak and they are away-away against Arsenal.
However, Ferguson has thought about the away game against Arsenal and he will give up completely.
Losing the game is all about letting the main team rest and recharge their batteries. In the middle of the week, Old Trafford will face Lazio.
Although Manchester United haven’t locked in the championship yet, Ferguson is not worried about it.
Even if we lose to Arsenal and let Chelsea get three points, Manchester United will still have a chance to win or lose-in the 36th round of the league, Manchester United played against Chelsea at home, when Manchester United and Lazio finished the game, just in time to deal with Chelsea.
If Manchester United can beat Chelsea at home and expand the difference to six points again, then Manchester United will have nothing to worry about in the last two rounds
Manchester United can afford to lose this league match, but Lazio can’t.
Lazio can’t afford to lose. If you struggle with Juventus in the league and spend too much energy on away games, it will naturally be affected.
……
Ferguson’s analysis is good. Lazio really can’t give up the game against Juventus.
Moreover, Juventus also know that Lazio will die at Manchester United in the middle of the week. Do they mind taking advantage of the fire to rob Lazio in this weekend’s league?
Are they trying to force Lazio to choose between losing to us and losing the league record? Or are you exhausted with us and then eliminated by Manchester United?
For Juventus, this may be their best chance to beat Lazio this season.
Before the game, Tuttosport directly said that Juventus would make trouble for Lazio.
