Chapter 139 Starting and Substituting
Although Serie A has now been surpassed by the Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga, in China, Serie A was the first league to be introduced, so Serie A's fan base in China is still quite solid.
BJ's late at night, in the studio hall of the National Sports Channel, the opening of Serie A is naturally not to be missed, not to mention the Chinese players.
In the studio at the moment, the famous football commentator Duan Xuan and Zhang Lu of the sports station sat together in the studio, "Welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast of the opening of the Serie A season tonight. I am Duan Xuan, Zhang Lu."
"There are three games in Serie A tonight, Inter Milan vs Palermo, Juventus vs Parma, Lazio vs Chievo."
"Although there are two giants today, I believe that as a Chinese fan, everyone is most concerned with Lazio, because in the past summer, Lazio became a player, a player from China, Lin Dong."
"Director Zhang, do you know this player?" Finally, Duan Xuan looked at Zhang Lu.
"Hey~~~ I think there are not many people who don't know this player. Of course, they may know this player named Lin Dong from another aspect," Zhang Lu said.
"Lin Dong, with a height of 184 cm and a weight of 78 kg, used to play for Seoul FC in South Korea, but he didn't seem to have played even one game for Seoul FC. During the two years he played for Seoul FC, Lin Dong seemed to have been isolated by his teammates and coaches."
"If we introduce it in the way of players, this has already been introduced. If we change the way, it will take a little time. During his time playing for Seoul FC, Lin Dong made his debut in the Korean entertainment circle, became a singer, and achieved very good results."
"Development all the way, from a singer to an actor, before officially joining Lazio, he also entered the European and American entertainment circles. With such achievements in the entertainment circles, he unexpectedly ran to play football. This is really incomprehensible."
"Of course, what makes it even more difficult for us to understand is Lazio's coaching staff. They actually signed Lin Dong, and even put Lin Dong in the first team in the new season. According to the news from Italy before the season, it seems that Lin Dong has also received the attention of the head coach Rea. Whether it is in friendly matches or in the Europa League, he has been given the opportunity to play."
"Does the guide think that Lin Dong is likely to appear in today's competition?" Duan Xuan asked.
"It's really hard to say. We don't have much information about Lin Dong, and from the limited airport games, Lin Dong's performance is not very good." Zhang Lu replied after looking at the information in his hand.
"But no matter what, as a Chinese, since Lin Dong has already stood on the stage of Serie A, let's take a look with great anticipation. After all, Chinese football~~~" Zhang Lu didn't continue talking, but anyone who knows football basically knows the meaning of what follows.
"The starting lineups of both sides have just been sent ahead. Unfortunately, Lin Dong is not on the starting list, but Lin Dong's name is on the substitute list."
At this moment, in China, nearly tens of millions of fans are watching this game, and when Lazio's starting lineup came out, although these fans couldn't help showing a hint of disappointment, it was more of a true performance.
Of course, there are also a small group of people who are not like this. When they saw the roster, they scolded Lazio's head coach more for not giving Lin Dong a chance to play. You know, they stayed up all night just to watch Lin Dong.
The same is true in South Korea, they don't care about the Italian league, they only care about the people they want to see in their hearts.
In a certain dormitory, there was also a person directly related to Lin Dong staying up all night, even though they would fly to Taiwan, China to hold a concert tomorrow, but Lin Dong didn't know about all this, because at this moment he was making the final preparations for the performance.
It is no joke that the attendance rate of the five major leagues is the lowest. Today's game is the first game of Lazio's new season, but the huge Rome Olympic Stadium is only half full.
In the locker room of the home team, the old coach Rea did not encourage the players impassionedly. This is not the style of the old coach. He is more to tell the corresponding players what the players should pay attention to.
For example, be careful of Chievo's combination of two forwards, one old and one young. The two are young and aggressive, and Pelissier is experienced, and both of them have very good speed.
For this reason, Lazio sent a combination of Biawa and Dias. Although Biawa is 35 years old, he is the most stable part of Lazio's defense.
Dias is a Brazilian defender. He came to Lazio in the 09-10 season. He has been playing in the Brazilian league before. He has a good ability to play the ball. Of course, the defense is also very good. Otherwise, it would not be possible to become a stable partner with Biava last season.
Although the striker does not have the advantage, according to Lazio's midfielder, it should have an absolute advantage. However, when the game started, Rea found that he had miscalculated.
The double midfielder combination of Bradley and Heitemai has limited Lazio's midfield combination with excellent running, and Bradley, who has just transferred this season, has performed quite well.
This midfielder from the United States only cost Chievo 100 million euros, but in this game, he played a level worth tens of millions.
In the 6th minute, Chievo played a wonderful attack in the away game. Paloski, who was regarded as his successor by Inzaghi, completed a very threatening shot.
Pelisier's crazy running in the penalty area attracted the attention of two of Lazio's central defenders. Then Lazio passed low into the penalty area from the wing. Paloski inserted from the back and shot hard.
Fortunately, Lazio's goalkeeper Bisari is focused enough. The Argentine, who has been a substitute goalkeeper for three years, finally got the chance to start. Naturally, he wants to show his performance and strive for the main goalkeeper.
This summer, Muslera, the original main goalkeeper who performed well, wanted to raise his salary, but was rejected by Lazio.
Then Lazio bought Marchetti from Cagliari, but Rea did not give Marchetti the main goalkeeper, but let him compete with Pizzari, so Pizzari played.
Compared with Lazio's two short central defenders, Chievo's central defenders are quite tall, reaching 1.9 meters.
Therefore, in terms of headers, Lazio did not gain any advantage, and in this game, Lazio's starters were two veteran players, Klose and Rocchi, and Kozak and Lin Dong were both on the bench.
Since Klose performed well in the previous friendly matches and Europa League qualifying matches, this game received special care. Therefore, throughout the first half, Klose did not have any good shooting opportunities.
