The media swarmly praise the winning team. It is unclear whether they are deliberately praising them, but many people do hope that the young Lazio will lose their normalcy due to the media's praise and lose the game.
And among these people are the media.
So after the national team match day, the media continued to praise Lazio players, and what they praised this time was that they believed that many Lazio players had the ability to be selected for the national team. They called on the national team's head coaches to participate in the next national team game.
On match days, recruit these Lazio players into the national team.
This is exactly what Lazio's young players want.
Without that dog, the Lazio players would probably have no intention of training properly and would just be waiting for the call from the national team.
But those who want Lazio to be praised must not have thought that Chang Sheng could solve this problem with a dog.
※※※
On November 20th, in the twelfth round of the league, Lazio challenged Sampdoria away.
Sampdoria is considered a mid-range team, ranking eighth after eleven league rounds.
Because it is an away game, to be honest, this game is not easy to play.
Coupled with the two-week break, it's hard to say what the players' condition will be.
In addition, the praise and praise from the media will definitely have an impact on Lazio, so this game will be a disaster for Lazio!
Chang Sheng expressed his worries and dissatisfaction with the media's blind praise of Lazio before the game.
"We are not Juventus or Milan. To me, it is not a good thing to praise us so much. I hope the media can be realistic. Lazio has just started and there are still many problems that need to be solved. In my opinion, these praises are
Kill us!"
Chang Sheng's tone was stern and he hoped the media would stop praising Lazio.
But no media will follow suit.
They even got more excited - what? Chang Sheng hates us praising Lazio? Okay, then we will continue to praise Lazio! Everything that Chang Sheng hates, we have to do! Everything that Chang Sheng doesn't let us do, we
Just do it!
So before the game against Sampdoria, the media were overwhelmingly optimistic about Lazio, thinking that although it was an away game, Lazio would definitely be able to defeat Sampdoria.
Even Sampdoria coach Novellino couldn't stand it anymore.
He also felt that the media's praise of Lazio was abnormal.
"If my team is praised like this by the media, it would be a disaster in my opinion. I will refuse to allow the players to be interviewed by the media and protect them by staying away from the media."
At the pre-match press conference, Sampdoria head coach Walter Novellino said.
This made the media a little embarrassed.
They can't say, "What we're doing is actually helping you win!"
As a result, my well-intentioned people did not accept it...
You deserve to lose!
You deserve to be ranked eighth!
※※※
In the game against Sampdoria, unlike those giant clubs where many players in the team participated in the national team match day, Lazio could send almost all the main players to play.
The strength gap between the two teams is actually quite large.
In the end, Lazio defeated Sampdoria 2:0 in the away game!
Won six consecutive victories in the league!
Of course, this is not the point. The point is the process of the game.
Lazio's players did not appear tired or distracted during the game.
The scenes that those who praised Lazio hoped to see, such as "Lazio players are proud and underestimate the enemy" and "Lazio players are tired and lax", did not appear.
On the contrary, Lazio's players were busy working hard and showed no signs of being praised by the media.
This surprised many people - could it be that the minds of Lazio's young players have matured to such a terrifying level? Can they not be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat?
This is impossible... After all, they are just a group of young people in their early twenties. Let alone them, even many thirty-year-old veterans will inevitably make such mistakes. How did Lazio do it?
Full of questions, the media gathered in the mixed area after the game and interviewed every Lazio player who passed by.
Their questions were all about "What keeps your morale so high?"
In response, Lazio players unanimously said: "Our new coach!"
But the Lazio players kept silent about who did it and how it was done. No matter how familiar the reporters were, they would not say anything.
It's not that Chang Sheng asked them to keep it secret. Chang Sheng has never made such a request. It's that they didn't want to say it because it would be too embarrassing to tell them - they were chased by a dog until they lost their shit, and they were knocked down during training.
As hard as taking medicine...
Reporters did not get satisfactory answers from Lazio's players, who besieged the winning side at the post-match press conference.
"What makes them work so hard?" Chang Sheng looked at the reporters in the audience and thought this question was strange. "Isn't this normal? As professional players, they should maintain a high fighting spirit no matter when and where they are.
, train hard and compete. There is no question. There is no reason. If there is any reason, it is the sense of honor and desire to succeed that are deeply rooted in their hearts."
Chang Sheng's answer made many reporters boo him inwardly.
"Pretend! Pretend again!"
Finally, a reporter couldn't help but stood up and asked: "But when the media is so flattering, it is not easy to keep them calm, so how did you do it?"
As soon as I asked this question, many people glared at me: **! If you don’t speak, no one will think you are dumb! Do you betray your teammates like this?
Chang Sheng laughed, and the laughter echoed throughout the press conference and in everyone's hearts.
Chang Sheng really smiled happily because he had never seen such a stupid reporter!
He actually told the truth!
He laughed for a full minute, and with every second of this minute, the reporters' faces became more ugly.
Then he stopped smiling, just like a Sichuan opera character changing his face. He suddenly said to reporters with a dark face: "I think there is something wrong with this sudden flattery. Look, you are not asking for it. I know some people hope
We lost, but I'm sorry, no matter who wanted us to lose, we let you down."
As for how he kept the team motivated and focused, he still didn't give an answer.

The reporters are quite powerful. After two days, they finally went through many channels and found out the secret of why winning games can keep players focused and not arrogant.
The secret is a dog!
Yes, it's a dog!
This is what the Lazio players call the "new coach"...
In fact, Lazio's players did show slackness in training, and Chang Sheng and the coaching staff did have a headache over this.
It seems that the media's plan almost succeeded.
But what follows is a dramatic reversal!
Chang Sheng got a dog from nowhere!
He actually asked a dog to be the new coach of the team and teach the players how to train!
Chased by a vicious dog, it was clear that no one dared to cheat.
The dog only stayed with the team for two days and completely cured the players' laziness.
Because Chang Sheng said that if he sees who else is slacking off in training in the future, then their "new coach" will reappear in front of them and train with them.
Under such threats, who would dare to be lazy?
So the media started talking about the nickname Chang Sheng had earned in Spain.
"tyrant"!
Letting dogs bite your own players...this is really the behavior of a "tyrant"!
※※※
When the inside story of Lazio's "secret training" was exposed, it immediately attracted the attention of all Italy.
Some people called on the players union to intervene in this matter and severely punish Chang Sheng, because this kind of training carries the risk of harming players.
The Association for the Protection of Small Animals also came out to accuse Chang Sheng of using dogs to do inhumane things. This is forcing dogs to harm humans and making humans hate dogs even more.
Chang Sheng doesn't even have to come forward to express these criticisms; someone will naturally defend him.
The first person to stand up and speak for Chang Sheng was Chang Sheng’s most loyal “lackey” Jose Passarella. “I don’t think this will bring any harm to us? Obinna is very smart. He is a good dog.”
Although the dog looks very fierce, no one was actually injured by it, not even a scratch on the skin... None. Those who are worried about being bitten by a dog can try it for themselves. I think even him
Even if you were so scared that you peed your pants, you wouldn’t actually be bitten..."
Chang Sheng didn't realize that Jose Passarella, who was usually serious and serious, also had such a bad side...
The next person to defend Chang Sheng was club president Lotito: "We fully trust Chang. He has gained this trust with practical actions, and it will not disappear easily. Using dogs to train players? I have to say this idea
It's so creative... When he asked me to help him introduce a dog trainer, I at least thought he wanted to get a dog. Now it seems that this is why I can't be a successful head coach, but he can.
Already..."
Then the dog trainer Luciano also stood up to speak for Chang Sheng: "Someone questions my dog? Then he is really the biggest idiot in the world! My dog is absolutely docile and obedient, and will never bite for no reason unless you want to.
Its life! Second, my dog is absolutely smart. He understands every command of mine and does whatever I ask him to do. Third, those organizations that claim to protect small animals are a bunch of idiots.
Made up of!”
With so many people defending Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng found that he didn't have to say anything anymore.
So he buried his head and continued his work.

In midweek, Lazio defeated the visiting Heerenveen 1:0 at home and won two consecutive UEFA Cup group stage victories.
In the next weekend's league game, Chang Sheng replaced the entire starting lineup that had played two consecutive games and used a group of substitutes to challenge Empoli away from home. In the end, they defeated their opponent 2:1.
After this game, Lazio's main players started again after taking a rest. They went to Bulgaria to challenge Sofia Levski.
As a result, they defeated Levski Sofia 2:0 in an away game, accumulating nine points with three wins from three games. With only one game left, Lazio has already qualified early.
Rivals in the same group, CSKA Moscow and Dinamo Bucharest, share four points. CSKA has no games left. Dinamo Bucharest has one game left. Even if they beat Lazio in the end, they will only have seven points.
Not to mention Heerenveen with two points and Sofia Levski with three points.
Not worth mentioning at all.
