In order to concentrate on preparing for the new season, Victory told Lotito not to arrange any commercial matches. [High-quality update.]
Although other teams went to Asia and the United States and made a lot of money, these have nothing to do with Lazio now.
Lazio doesn't even have front-of-chest advertising sponsorships, but it can't make money for the club by participating in commercial tournaments around the world.
Chang Sheng made this clear to Lotito beforehand. Tour matches will harm the team and prevent the team's training from proceeding normally.
When the new team needs various adjustments, this approach is very harmful to the team's interests.
The best thing to do is to stay at the Fermelo training base and not go anywhere.
So in the summer of 2005, when Real Madrid set foot in China again, Lazio was concentrating on training at the training base on the outskirts of Rome.
Some of the warm-up matches arranged were all played in the training base, and tickets were not even sold or open to the public.
Except for the media allowed by the club, no other media can access it and get first-hand information.
Lazio, who always wins, is as mysterious as if it doesn't exist in this world.
Training is completely closed, and competitions are also closed.
Only in the Toto Cup competition can people see what kind of team Lazio is, which has always won.
Or from the Toto Cup performance, we can infer the tactics and lineup that Lazio will adopt in the new season.
Of course Chang Sheng is so closed off not to keep it secret, but just so that the team can not be disturbed and focus all their energy on training during the most precious time.
It makes sense for Chang Sheng to do this because he is pressed for time.
Intertoto Cup matches often start very early.
Because Lazio is a Serie A team, they don't need to start from the first round. But even so, Lazio's first Toto Cup game is still very early. On July 17, the entire Lazio team is still there
During the physical training phase, there was no tactical training at all.
Naturally, the reporters couldn't tell anything about this game.
Even so, with the help of three winning skills, such a patchwork Lazio still defeated Tampere, a team from the Finnish Super League, at home 2:0.
After the game, the media in the city of Rome said that the victory in this game cannot explain the high level of Chang Sheng's coaching, nor can it tell us how good Lazio's condition is, or how high the level of those players is.
It can only mean one thing - the opponent is too damn weak!
Such a disorganized team was able to defeat its opponent 2:0, and one can only draw this conclusion.
This match is the first leg of the third round of the Intertoto Cup.
The second round will be held on July 22nd.
At that time, Lazio had just finished the physical training phase and entered the technical and tactical training phase.
But because training has been increasing, there will be a short gap in the physical fitness of the players.
We still have to play away games... It's hard to say whether the current two-goal lead can be maintained by then.
It would really be a joke if Lazio, which had made so much noise, was eliminated in the third round of the International Toto Cup...
※ ※ ※
Everyone is waiting to see Chang Sheng's joke.
It's a pity that they didn't see it.
July 22. They played Tampere away from home. Changsheng used a different lineup. Lazio finally tied with their opponent 1:1 in the away game and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 3:1.
Next, as long as Lazio wins another semi-final, they can qualify for the UEFA Cup this season.
Although the away game was a bit embarrassing, we still advanced.
The media had been holding back their words and waiting to ridicule Chang Sheng. But unexpectedly, they didn't say it at all...
This made many media very hurt.
But the date for the Intertoto Cup semi-finals is very close, starting on July 27th.
So those media outlets that have been holding back their bad intentions still have a chance.
※ ※ ※
The team has officially entered the technical and tactical training stage.
The two games with Tampere became a ready-made example of winning.
Before starting training, Chang Sheng showed the team the video of the two games. He wanted to tell everyone why the team played like this. Facing a weak team like Tampere, they could only narrowly win and advance...
What problems can his tactics solve that arise during the game?
After watching the game video and coupled with Chang Sheng's commentary, I believe many Lazio players should have a basic understanding of the new tactics Chang Sheng will implement.
Then slowly go deeper.
Now Lazio's first team lineup mainly consists of these people: goalkeepers Peruzzi, Handanovic and the third goalkeeper De Angelis who was transferred from the youth team.
Center back Jose Passarella, Pavin, Stendardo, Cribari, Campagnaro.
Full-backs Odo, Zauri, Pasquale and De Silvestri, who was transferred from the youth team.
Midfielders Liverani and Gianni Keda, Modric, Melo and Marchisio who returned to the first team from the reserve team.
Forwards Pandev, Rocky, David Silva, Benzema and Borriello.
The first team lineup of twenty-two people is not too many, but considering that Lazio will definitely fight on a single line this season, the first team lineup of twenty-two people is enough to cope with most games, unless there is bad luck in the victory.
Injury wave achievement mode.
In this lineup, we plan to win continuously until the official start of the league, and the lineup will not be fixed.
Because his tactics do not have a real main lineup, anyone must be able to be the main player. Otherwise, as long as one main player cannot participate in the game, the team's performance will plummet, and such a thing will never win.
Let it happen.
Just like standardized production, when a player in a position is injured or in a sluggish state and he has to replace him, he knows that the player who comes on the bench is completely trustworthy and can immediately replace the injured player.
player's.
These players may not have as many playing opportunities as the core main players, but they still have to play their role. Trying to close the gap in strength between the main players and the substitutes is what Changsheng must do.
However, from these two Toto Cup games, Chang Sheng found that Pavin's performance was not good.
Only then did he remember that he seemed to have said that he wanted to talk to the other party...
But it seems that the timing is not particularly good...
※ ※ ※
Lazio's opponent in the Intertoto Cup semi-finals soon came out, it was Marseille.
Many media in Rome said that if they encounter Marseille, Lazio will be unlucky for the rest of their lives.
Because judging from the current Lazio team, it is absolutely impossible for them to eliminate Marseille.
At that time, I can finally laugh at Chang Sheng without restraint.
On July 27, in the first leg of the semi-finals, Lazio faced Marseille at home.
Lazio failed to win this highly anticipated game.
They were held to a 1:1 draw by Marseille at home.
Pavin came on, but was replaced by Chang Sheng with Stendaldo after the halftime break.
Because Pavin's performance in this game was really bad.
His performance on the defensive line is no different from his performance at Real Madrid.
He was indecisive in defense, had poor positional sense, and didn't know what to do.
His amateur-level performance suddenly made Jose Passarella next to him the world's top central defender. The title of "Nesta's successor" is well-deserved!
After the game, some media criticized Pavin's performance, thinking that Chang Sheng, who never made a mistake this time, finally made a mistake this time!
"I don't know why he brought this waste from the Bernabeu... I once thought that Changsheng would take some measures. In the end, he succeeded in saving Francisco Pavin, the lost lamb. But unfortunately, I started and ended.
I guessed wrong both the process and the process!”
※ ※ ※
Chang Sheng thought that it was a good thing that Pavin could not understand Italian so far, otherwise the criticism from these media would be enough to make him drink a pot every day.
But maybe this is the perfect time to talk to Parvin?
Although Pavin was in a very low mood, Chang Sheng still planned to pour cold water on him.
He wants Patcher to fully realize who is responsible for his own problems.
At this time, only drastic measures can be used.
It's like swallowing water lukewarm, that won't work.
So the day after the game against Roma, Pavin was called into the head coach's office by Chang Sheng.
"I remember I once said that I wanted to have a good talk with you. Unfortunately, I was very busy before, so I didn't have the chance. Now the opportunity has come, and we can finally sit down and have a good talk, Francisco."
Chang Sheng didn't talk nonsense. He got straight to the point.
Parvin sat on the sofa and said nothing.
"You think it's all my responsibility that you end up in this situation, right?"
Pawen glanced at Chang Sheng. Although he said nothing, Chang Sheng still understood his eyes: "Isn't it?"
So Chang Sheng laughed.
"But actually, I think you should thank me. Because I let you escape that sad place in Real Madrid."
Seeing Chang Sheng's triumphant look, Pavin finally couldn't hold it back and spoke: "I love Real Madrid. I don't think that's where I feel sad, coach."
"Call me boss." Chang Sheng corrected his mistake in the title, and then continued: "You are destined to have no future in Real Madrid. It will be the same with or without me. It's just a matter of time."
"I don't believe it." Pavin looked at his future head coach stubbornly. He was not worried at all about losing the opportunity to perform because of contradicting the coach.
He even wished for this, because he didn't want to work for Chang Sheng. He hoped to force Chang Sheng to sell him. It didn't matter where he went, as long as he could get rid of Chang Sheng.
When Chang Sheng saw Pavin being so stubborn, he laughed: "Okay, let's analyze it, Francisco. What do you think is the biggest reason why you didn't succeed?"
Pavin felt that Chang Sheng was insulting himself by asking this question, because it forced him to recall the unbearable past...
So his face looked very ugly.
Chang Sheng saw it and guessed it.
"You think I'm asking you to recall that 5:0 game? You're wrong. Let me tell you frankly. Your biggest problem is your poor mental quality! You are twenty-five years old, and your mental quality is like that of a grown-up.
What about young children? If you encounter some setbacks, you will think of giving up and giving in. Players like you will never make a difference until you retire! Don't expect to succeed at the Bernabeu!"
