Lazio-Bayern in the second round of Champions

This time the blindfolded Goddess hides and Lazio fishes badly. Because none of the other five in contention is worse than Bayern. Inzaghi against the current European champions with Miro Klose, Flick’s assistant coach, never lowered the flag with 63 goals against Lazio in 5 seasons (2011-2016). The German bomber retired at 36 with Inzaghi on the bench, after scoring a penalty against Fiorentina. Today he challenges him to the knockout stages of the Champions League. First time against Miro. After saying goodbye to football, he chose the bench: first he was Low’s collaborator with Germany, then Bayern U17 coach and now he is Flick’s attacker, because he was given the task. to heal the offensive phase. Who better than him.

WAY

Keyword: steamroller. The numbers say it. Bayern are second in the league with 24 points, but have scored 35 goals in 11 games. Give them a door and they will inflate the net. Group chapter: the Bavarians finished first in the group with Atlético, Salzburg and Lokomotiv Moscow. Eighteen goals scored and five conceded (5 wins and a draw). Strong in all departments, from former Juve Coman to the usual Muller, although the defense concedes something (17 goals conceded in the League). The coach is Hans Flick, coach by chance: he arrived in November 2019 instead of Kovac, he should have led the team waiting for a substitute or a name on the cover, but in the end it ended there. Low’s former assistant with Germany from 2006 to 2014, five years at Hoffenheim from 2000 to 2005, before becoming a footballer, took an internship at a bench at 18 because “he also had to think ahead.” Clear ideas and programming, they say that their sympathy has conquered everyone. We also win trophies. Last season he won the Champions League, the league and the German Cup. Triplets This year the Super Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.

First official match between the two clubs, although Lazio sometimes smiles when facing the Germans. The balance is 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in 16 comparisons. In the group he cut 3 goals against Borussia Dortmund at the Olimpico, drawing 1-1 in the second leg. Undefeated, business. In the Europa League, in the 2012/13 season, Petkovic’s boys eliminated Stuttgart and Borussia M’Gladbach between the sixteenth and eighth final thanks to a great Kozak (the striker closed the competition as the top scorer with 8 goals). Bad marks: the preliminary Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen in 2015/16 with Pioli, victory in the first leg (1-0, goal by Keita) and defeat in the second leg (3-0). Then, two seasons ago and again in the Europa League, two failures against Eintracht (4-1 in Germany and 1-2 at the Olimpico). Above? No. There is the double challenge against Werder in the Champions League 13 years ago: 2-1 at the Olimpico with a double by Rocchi and a 2-1 defeat in Bremen. Lazio came out in the groups. Curiosities and crosses: Immobile, with Dortmund, he never scored at Bayern but beat him in the Super Cup playing as a starter (2-0). Pepe Reina played in Baviera in 2014/15 (three games).

THE STARS

The usual bomber is a gamble. Impossible not to mention Lewandowski, who already has 16 goals this season in 16 games. Goal machine. Last year he lost the match to Immobile for the Golden Boot – 36 goals to 34 – but finished the season as European champion with 55 rings in all competitions. Six years ago Borussia bought Ciro to replace the Polish panzer, 103 goals in four seasons under the “yellow wall”, the flag of the fans ended up in Monaco in free transfer. Immobile failed, but the tip remained its model: “Robert is my point of reference, if I could vote for the Ballon d’Or I would give him preference.” Challenge within the challenge. And the bet? Watch out for English baby Jamal Musiala, 2003 record playmaker: At 17 years and 205 days he became the youngest Bayern player to score in the Bundesliga. Already with 3 league goals, beaten Chelsea in 2019, he has been nicknamed “the ice boy” by Sebastian Hoeness, former Bayern II coach: “If you talk to him before the game, he is very calm.” Eye.
