Lazio's home match against Celtic starts at 7:45 pm local time.
This game was won by all the main players.
The Celtics, on the other hand, put on a defensive stance.
At first Chang Sheng thought the opponent was just showing off, so Lazio went up to attack them, and then they launched a quick counterattack.
But after more than 20 minutes of the game, he realized that the Celtics were bent on holding on and forcing the game to a penalty shootout.
Naturally, the constant victory would not allow them to get what they wanted, so he would have to adjust his tactics.
In the past, no matter how his team moved outside, the Celtic players were unmoved. They knew that their footwork was not good, their bodies were clumsy, and their agility was no match for Lazio's quick and agile players.
Therefore, they gave up the practice of pressing out to grab the ball, and instead stayed in the penalty area, guarding against it and preventing Lazio from easily entering the penalty area.
A center like Falcao can't even get the ball in the penalty area.
The Celtics' approach somewhat captures the essence of the football game - Lazio's previous dazzling passes were all appearances, or even illusions. No matter how they passed the ball, they had to hit the penalty area and in front of the goal in the end.
Only in this way can they score goals.
So as long as the football is not allowed to enter the penalty area, they will naturally be able to defend the opponent's offense. Even if they have 99% ball possession, they will not be able to break through the Celtics' goal.
In theory, there is nothing wrong with this idea.
But it's a pity... If it can be successful in theory and it can definitely be successful in practice, this earth may have entered the interstellar age long ago...
Theoretical analysis, no matter how good it is, is just talk on paper. It is useless if it cannot be transformed into truly effective tactics.
Mourinho also used the tactic of parking a bus at the door, voluntarily giving up possession of the ball and giving up all the space outside the thirty-meter area, and then eliminated Barcelona in this way.
But he actually almost failed. If Barcelona's last goal hadn't been ruled offside...
In the world of football, there are too many unknown factors, which can affect the direction of the game and even the result.
The most important one is called "luck".
If you're lucky, you can win even if your back line is reduced to a sieve. If you're not lucky, if your defense is reduced to a sieve, you'll still lose.
Luck is very elusive, and no one knows how to grasp luck.
Some people describe luck as a "goddess", which is very wise. Because luck is indeed just like a woman, elusive. You think you have her, but she leaves you. You think you may lose her forever, she
But he unexpectedly held your arm and made you feel happy.
But there are still some rules.
For example, people often say that "the goddess of luck only looks after those who are well prepared", or "good luck only looks after the strong."
In fact, it means that as long as you are well prepared and have a strong enough victory, you can make your luck better than your opponent's.
What Chang Sheng needs to do now is to make his luck better than that of the Celtics.
He will not let Falcao, a center forward, compete physically with Celtic's tall British defenders in the penalty area. It is meaningless.
He doesn't have to let the two wingers keep passing the ball in, and then expect Falcao to fight for a header. The Scottish team is not afraid of attacks from the air.
Football tactics are a means of exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses.
Compared with the Celtics, what are your strengths?
It's speed, flexibility, and technology, so why should you sacrifice these?
All you have to do to win often is to give full play to the abilities of the two wingers.
Just like playing a FM game, set the tactical freedom of the two wingers to the highest level during the game. In this way, the players will have less to comply with tactical requirements and more freedom to play.
The advantage of doing this is... something unexpected will appear.
This is the individual performance of the stars.
Like tactics, it is an important component of the game and is even one of the important factors that determine victory or defeat.
If every player is as obedient as a machine and faithfully executes tactics. If they do what is required within the tactics and absolutely do not do what is not within the tactics, then the football world will lose a lot of fun and classics.
There will not be Maradona's five-man streak, there will be no Zidane's extraordinary flying, there will not be Ronaldo's pendulum style, there will be no Bergkamp ballet like me...
In fact, there are many classic shots in world football, which are actually the product of the players' personal performance.
Tactics are the foundation, and great players can use the foundation to create something unique that distinguishes them from other players.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Chang Sheng asked Melo, who was closest to him, to give a message to the two wingers.
"Use your best, make more breakthroughs, and dribble more. Don't be afraid of being intercepted. Anyway, even if they intercept our ball, it will not threaten our goal. At most, they will just drive their big kick into our backcourt. So you can
Feel free to play boldly and play however you want!"
After hearing this, David Silva and Benzema's eyes turned green.
They had never dared to think of such a request before, it was simply an extravagant wish!
But now they can play openly!
Let’s have fun dribbling the ball on the court!
Defeat the enemy in the way they like best and are best at!
※※※
In the following games, everyone gradually discovered that Lazio's tactics were different from before.
Previously, when the offense hit the outside of the Celtic penalty area, Lazio could only pass the ball back and forth in an attempt to tear open the Celtic defense.
They passed the ball from the left to the right, then from the right to the left, then from the front to the back, and from the back to the front. The ball could have been passed around the world, but it still couldn't expose the Celtics' defense.
.
Now Lazio's approach has changed.
When the football reaches the edge of the penalty area, it is no longer just passing the ball, but the football is passed to the feet of David Silva or Benzema.
Then...it depends on the two of them.
As long as the football reaches the feet of David Silva and Benzema, don't even think about them passing it out. They must dribble the ball past others.
Even if you can't get through it in the end, you have to get through it.
Either pass the opponent, or be cut off by the opponent. There is absolutely no third option.
Their teammates didn't expect them to pass the ball, and they didn't even think about passing the ball.
Now that the boss has spoken, it would be a pity not to take this opportunity to show off!
※※※
The Celtics thought this adjustment to the winning streak was silly at first - doesn't this make it easier for our side to let go?
Is it more difficult to guard one person or an entire team?
The answer is obvious, of course it is more difficult to defend a team.
Before that, they would have been worried about having problems with their defense and being caught and exploited by Lazio.
But now, they only need to defend two people...
Even the commentators and reporters said they couldn't understand Chang Sheng's adjustment.
"Are you going to play personal heroism here? But I'm afraid things won't develop in the direction Chang hopes..."
"Silva and Benzema obviously got the latest order from the head coach, so they dared to act independently in such a big way. But what I can't figure out is... what is the use of doing this? It can be opened up by the personal breakthroughs of two players.
Is it the door to victory?”
Reporters also talked a lot, feeling that Chang Sheng was making a stupid move. Did he know what he was doing?
※※※
The TV broadcast gave Chang Sheng a close-up shot. In the close-up shot, Chang Sheng's face was expressionless and he didn't even frown.
In fact, he knew exactly what he was doing.
He believes in David Silva and Benzema.
The current [Dribbling] attribute of these two people has reached 80. David Silva is 85 and Benzema is 88.
Such data is very high.
As long as he gives them enough opportunities, he doesn't believe they can't beat several people at once!
As long as the base number is large enough, some changes will definitely occur. The so-called quantitative changes cause qualitative changes.
Chang Sheng is now waiting for a qualitative change.
It doesn't matter if David Silva and Benzema fail a hundred times, as long as they succeed once.
After all, the Celtics didn't realize the real threat of doing this, so they didn't change their tactics.
In this way, your team still has the opportunity to make mistakes and try things out.
So Chang Sheng now especially hopes for the Celtics and other onlookers. No one understands why he would do this...
※※※
David Silva and Benzema did not let Chang Sheng wait too long.
Their previous breakthroughs were like warm-up tests.
Soon they finished their warm-up and started to get into the mood.
In the 35th minute, Benzema dribbled the ball into the penalty area and shot from an angle, but the ball missed slightly.
Although there was no goal, it was enough to stop the hearts of Celtic fans for two seconds.
"Karim Benzema! What a close call! Benzema's football shot hit the side netting! When I looked at it, it looked like he had really scored!"
The Lazio fans in the stands also cheered, thinking that a goal had been scored.
But then they saw that Benzema didn't celebrate, and they realized that the ball just didn't go in...
The cheers turned into huge sighs.
Benzema, who did not score a goal, also held his head in his hands, looking very regretful.
The Celtic players next to him were breathing heavily, with expressions that looked like they were surviving a disaster. Just now Benzema was like a loach in the penalty area. They almost thought this kid was going to score.
Unexpectedly, in the end... Lady Luck was still on our Celtic side!
※※※
Although everyone from Benzema to the fans regretted this attack.
However, Chang Sheng clenched his fists slightly off the court and muttered words, but did not make a sound.
Just by looking at his mouth movements, most people couldn't understand what he was saying because he was speaking in his native language, Chinese.
He was saying: "Soon, soon, soon..."
It was really close, he felt that he could already touch the goddess' tender skin...
