Lazio, who always wins, uses back and forth passes to find this opportunity.
As mentioned before, Lazio's back-and-forth pass is different from the general back-and-forth pass. It is not the kind of back-and-forth pass that involves horizontal passes.
Instead, he constantly tries to pass the ball forward and seize opportunities during the lateral pass.
This kind of horizontal passing is a characteristic of Lazio. Many teams want to imitate it but fail to master it.
Because there are many players in Lazio's midfield and frontcourt who have excellent ball control skills. In addition, another very important point is the counterattack ability of Lazio players in the frontcourt!
This ensures that even if their attempts to move forward fail, they still have a great chance of regaining the football.
So the game against Lazio was basically a chaotic battle in our own half.
Lazio's pressing is very effective, and teams that are not used to it can easily be overwhelmed by Lazio's aggressive pressing.
This also happened against Nottingham Forest.
When Thiago tried to pass forward to center Cavani.
The football was blocked by George Wood in the middle.
Then it fell to the feet of Forest center back Stritch.
At this time, Stritch naturally wanted to pass the football back to George Wood.
But just when he was about to pass the ball, three people suddenly surrounded him!
Cavani, Gotze and Ji Ming!
When the three people were surrounded like this, Stritch panicked.
His mind suddenly went blank and he didn't know what to do with himself. Under the pressure of the Lazio players, he kicked the ball casually.
The football hit Gotze's calf and bounced back, hit his foot again, and bounced back again. After bouncing back and forth twice, the football slowed down and became controllable.
However, Lazio's players did not try to control the ball.
Because Nottingham Forest players also rushed to support Stritch.
At this time, trying to control the football at your feet is nothing more than putting yourself and the football into a tight siege again.
At this time, his teammates will definitely come up to support the attack.
So once the ball is lost here and Nottingham Forest takes the opportunity to counterattack, it will be over.
Everyone knows how sharp Nottingham Forest's counterattack was from the previous video.
This is different from Nottingham Forest's defense. They don't want to experience it personally during the game.
So Ji Ming rushed up and kicked the football away!
Of course, this is not a pointless stab.
Ji Ming stabbed the football at Messi's feet!
When Messi got the ball, the Lazio fans in the stands cheered.
In the new season, Messi, who has got rid of injuries, has performed well and is in stable form. He is deeply loved by Lazio fans. Some Lazio fans even think that the club should sign Messi with another two-year contract or something, so that Messi can play until
Retired at Lazio...
When Messi gets the ball, they look forward to it.
After Messi received the ball, he did not break through, but chose to shoot directly with his right foot from the edge of the penalty area!
The football drew an arc and headed straight for the back corner of the goal!
It stands to reason that Messi's shot was very sudden, because everyone thought that Messi would directly break through after receiving the ball. After all, that would be more threatening to the goal and could also disrupt Nottingham Forest's defense.
Unexpectedly, Messi directly kicked the ball and the effect looked pretty good?
Just when everyone thought the ball would fly directly into the goal, a hand appeared in their field of vision, and then with a flick of their fingertips, the hit football bounced up, and then went directly over the crossbar!
The Lazio fans gasped in the stands - they were ready to cheer, but unexpectedly they were blocked back!
"Messi's shot - beautiful! Beautiful save! Peter Johnson! With ease, he dragged the football directly over the crossbar!"
"A very exciting attack and defense! Messi's shot was sudden and highly accurate, but Peter Johnson's save was also very exciting! Look at this slow motion, it is obvious that he took off from behind... But at this time, Peter Johnson
The excellent wingspan plays an important role. For other goalkeepers, this may be a difficult ball to save, but not for Peter Johnson!"
"World-class save! From Peter Johnson! He is the patron saint of Nottingham Forest! With him, Nottingham Forest's goal is safe and worry-free!" England's commentator was the most excited.
※※※
Peter Johnson, under endless praise from the English media, seems to be the world's top goalkeeper and can be compared with Casillas at the same age.
However, Chang Sheng knew that this goalkeeper who became famous at a young age was not as powerful as people said.
It is true that he is good at hitting difficult shots, but he also has weaknesses.
His weakness is that he is not very good at saving those decent shots.
This is what Chang Sheng learned after fully studying Peter Johnson's information.
Peter Johnson became a monk halfway. He was not trained as a goalkeeper from the beginning, or even trained as a footballer from the beginning.
He was just an amateur playing basketball on the street.
Because of his excellent physical fitness, he was noticed by Nottingham Forest scouts, so he joined Nottingham Forest when he was sixteen years old.
When he first entered Nottingham Forest, he played as a central defender, not as a goalkeeper.
After playing for a year, Nottingham Forest's youth training coach discovered that he was making slow progress as a defender and even suspected that he had no talent for playing football.
Until an accident, the goalkeeper of the youth team was injured and the substitution quota was used up. So Peter Johnson, who had basketball experience, was pushed to the goalkeeper position. Unexpectedly, he put on the goalkeeper gloves and performed well.
Keep a clean sheet.
It was also from this time that the youth team coach discovered his talent as a goalkeeper and asked him to switch to goalkeeping and start practicing instead.
Now the English media often use this incident to illustrate how talented Peter Johnson is. He only received three years of formal training and was already able to play the main role in the first team of Nottingham Forest.
But what Chang Sheng saw from this incident was another piece of information.
That is, the time for this talented goalkeeper to receive basic training is too short.
It can be said that he is a wild goalkeeper.
Of course, if a goalkeeper continues to practice his basic skills after becoming famous, it does not mean that it is impossible to continue to improve.
But Peter Johnson's character is very flamboyant, and he becomes proud after he becomes famous. So he basically doesn't pay much attention to basic training now.
Every time someone criticizes him, he just tells the other person that he performed well and kept a clean sheet, and that's enough.
Indeed, his performance was very good, saving the team from danger many times and trying to keep the goal.
But this is definitely not the reason for him to stay still.
Because he has not laid a solid foundation, his success will be nothing more than a castle in the air, and there will be problems one day.

After saving Messi's difficult shot, Peter Johnson jumped up from the ground, then raised his arms and shouted.
His move was naturally cheered by the Nottingham Forest fans who came with the team, and also made the commentator in England praise him: "Peter Johnson's outstanding performance kept the Nottingham Forest goal clean! After saving May
After West's goal, Peter seemed very excited. I think the Nottingham Forest fans will be relieved when they see this scene. Because it means that Peter is in very good condition today!"
However, Chang Sheng sneered as he stared at Peter Johnson raising his arms and shouting.
If no one can tell you some of the simplest truths, then you might as well let me teach you, little boy!
Before the game, Chang Sheng told his players about the weaknesses of the Nottingham Forest goalkeeper and made plans to address this.
Messi's kick just now was purely an accident. He was in that situation and such a shot was the most natural. He raised his foot and kicked it out.
I didn't deliberately pursue any mediocre shooting.
However, this kick also showed the characteristics of Peter Johnson.
Sure enough, as the boss said, he is very good at saving difficult balls.
What about a low kick next time?
Messi clapped his hands and looked at Peter Johnson thinking so.
※※※
Peter Johnson's save boosted the morale of Nottingham Forest, and the players were confident of holding on to the tie in front of Lazio.
This is why Peter Johnson was able to secure his position as the main goalkeeper of the Forest team without laying a solid foundation.
Because of this goalkeeper, his difficult saves and rich body language can really mobilize the players' emotions and boost their morale.
With him around, players will be confident in their defense.
It's like a buff aura...
In the subsequent game, the two sides continued to be in a stalemate.
All Nottingham Forest's thoughts were spent on defense. The threat to Lazio's goal was almost zero. Thirty minutes into the game, Nottingham Forest had not even had a shot.
This kind of game seems to be no stranger to Nottingham Forest. They adapted very well and did not feel any violation at all. Nottingham Forest fans did not feel embarrassed because the Forest team played for 30 minutes without even a shot.
Lazio, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to make a fatal move, but instead passed the ball back and forth in the midfield and backcourt, slowly dealing with Nottingham Forest.
This game seems to be all about patience.
Chang Sheng also knows that facing a team with excellent defense like Nottingham Forest, it is unrealistic to expect to score many goals in one game. It is not easy to score even one goal.
So the outcome of this game may be determined by just one ball.
This game is destined not to be exciting, but it is very important.
This is true for both Lazio and Nottingham Forest. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
