Coppa Italia: Lazio vs Roma
Match time: 24-01-11 01:00 Thursday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Lazio have been in good form recently, with nine wins, three draws and seven defeats, ranking seventh in the league. Due to the last three rounds of the league team have won, so Lazio's league ranking has also improved a lot, and the team's defensive intensity has been significantly strengthened, thanks to the change in midfield interception ability, now Lazio has once again ignited the hope of hitting the top four positions in the league, considering that Fiorentina in the fourth place in the league is only three points ahead of Lazio, if Lazio can continue the previous momentum of grabbing points in the next few rounds of the league, perhaps this team will be able to squeeze into the top four in the near future.
In their last game, Lazio won 2-1 away at Udinese to make it three wins in a row. Judging from the process of the game, the Lazio players appeared to be very active after the opening, facing Udinese, who are known for their defensive counterattack tactics, Lazio successfully withstood the opponent's opening attack through regional joint defense tactics, and with the relatively smooth small-scale cooperation of the midfielders, Lazio took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field in the 12th minute of the game. In the case of conceding the goal too early, Udinese can only pull out of the formation and begin to seek an equalizer through active attack, but Lazio is obviously prepared for this campaign, the team not only limits the opponent's side attack very well, but also makes Udinese feel more difficult after the successful defense, although Udinese still equalized the score through a free kick opportunity on the right side in the second half, but Lazio finally relied on the stronger opportunity of the striker to grasp the opportunity, and exceeded the score again in the latter part of the game.
Personally, the team's performance is not good news for the main striker Immobile, after all, the striker has been suffering from injuries this season, and Lazio has lost to Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid in succession after the return of Immobile from injury, and the team's record is better in the absence of the main scorer, which is not difficult to see that other teammates have gradually adapted to this sudden situation, but Lazio's team's performance in the strong dialogue is indeed more average, this season against the top four teams in the league have not been able to take advantage of the opponent, if the manager Maurizio Sarri can not improve the team's performance in the attack, then the final achievement of this team is probably quite limited.
The Roma team has been relatively stable in recent times, with eight wins, five draws and six losses, ranking eighth in the league. Roma coach Jose Mourinho has been plagued by no one available at the back this season, the main defender Nemanja Matic has left, and the defensive stalwart Smalling has been absent due to injury for a long time, although Lukaku has joined the team's offensive ability has been greatly improved, but the lack of defense still makes the Roma team a little difficult, considering that the team has now opened a four-point gap with Fiorentina in the fourth place in the league, and the next round of the league team will challenge the strong AC Milan away, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Roma team to show too strong four strength in a short period of time。
It is worth mentioning that the team's coach Mourinho and the main striker Dybala have not renewed their contracts so far, and there have been news that Mourinho is about to leave the Roma team recently, although Mourinho has repeatedly said that he is very grateful to the Roma fans for their support to him, but the fact that the team lacks funds to recruit has indeed greatly affected Mourinho's coaching results, and the current Premier League powerhouse Chelsea and Newcastle are eager for rebuilding managers, Mourinho may not be able to make the team's style of play gorgeous, but it is undeniable that the coach does have a strong ability to integrateIf the club's hierarchy fails to convince Mourinho of the possibility of developing the team in the contract renewal negotiations, then Roma may lose the excellent coach who led the team out of the trough.
Match Analysis:
Lazio and Roma have already met once in the league this season, when Lazio and Roma were drawn 0-0 and failed to pick up points against their opponents. In the last ten meetings, Lazio has won five, drawn three and drawn, and obviously has a big psychological advantage. Although the overall strength of the Roma team is stronger than Lazio, and the scoring ability of the forward combination of Lukaku and Dybala is also quite good, but Lazio's overall combat ability is indeed better than the Roma team, and the team's offensive and defensive balance is also better than that of the opponent, plus the Roma team will have a strong conversation with AC Milan immediately after the Cup, so it stands to reason that the team should put more energy on the league level, considering that Lazio's recent form is quite stable, I believe that the team should be able to rely on a stronger overall combat ability to snatch a promotion place from the Roma team in regular time。
EFL Cup: Liverpool vs Fulham
Competition time: 2024-01-11 04:00 Thursday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Liverpool are in hot form this season, with a current record of 13 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss, sitting high at the top of the league table. With several other title contenders in form declining for the new season, and Liverpool regaining their original level of competition after strengthening their squad, the team is now the leader of the Premier League. However, the main title rival Manchester City has returned strongly, the two core of the team De Bruyne and Haaland have returned from injury, if Liverpool can not continue the previous ability to grab points in the subsequent games, then the team's top position is also likely to change hands at any time.
It is worth mentioning that Liverpool's leading scorer Salah has gone to the national team to play, but the team has defeated the full squad Arsenal 2-0 in the FA Cup and advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup. Some fans and friends may say that Arsenal was eliminated because of the poor condition of the players, but in fact, Liverpool has carried out the main rotation in this strong dialogue, and can withstand the repeated impact of the Arsenal players and defeat the opponent through counterattacks, which just proves that this team has a deep squad base?Whether or not to qualify for the cup is not something that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is too concerned about, but more importantly, how to maintain sufficient competitiveness in the league during the period when the two main players of Salah and Endo are absent, after all, there are not many main players called up by the national team in rivals such as Manchester City, Arsenal and Villa.
Fulham's recent form has improved greatly, with seven wins, three draws and ten defeats, ranking 13th in the league. Although Fulham is now only in the middle of the league, and the team does still have a lot of shortcomings in defense, but at least the team does not feel too much relegation pressure, before the team even defeated the strong championship powerhouse Arsenal in the league, but Fulham's follow-up schedule is more difficult, like Chelsea, Newcastle and Everton, these league opponents are obviously not easy to deal with, once the main players have declined, then Fulham's league ranking will inevitably be reduced.
Match Analysis:
Liverpool and Fulham have met once in the league this season, and Liverpool at home won 4-3, and it is clear that Fulham's attacking ability has also caused a lot of problems for Liverpool. In the last ten meetings, Liverpool has seven wins, two draws and one loss, occupying a greater psychological advantage. Although Fulham did show a good level of competition in the league before, but the team's defensive ability is indeed quite limited, the English League Cup is a two-legged game, in order to maintain the physical fitness of the main players, Fulham should not put too much energy into this game, but considering that Liverpool will definitely continue to rotate the main team, so the real competition in this game is actually the depth of the squad between the two teams, once Fulham rotates players too much, then Liverpool is very likely to replicate the previous game scene against West Ham in the English League Cup。
