Chapter 207 Playing and thinking with the brain (17/21)
In fact, whether the league is over or not, it will have minimal impact on Lazio's preparations.
These last three league rounds were played by Lazio as warm-up matches.
In these three games, except for Falcao who will definitely start, the starting lineup is different in each game. Chang Shengli uses these three games to test the team's preparations.
The result is not bad.
Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
After Pacheco's last move, Chang Sheng missed it, which gave Pacheco the feeling of punching out but hitting the air. Not only did he not hurt the enemy, he almost strained his own ligaments.
.
But he did not give up. During this period, Gazzetta dello Sport almost changed its name to Lazio Gazzetta dello Sport.
There are many reports about Lazio player transfer trends every day.
From the main players that everyone knows, to the substitute players who don't get much attention.
Almost everyone has received transfer offers.
"Gazzetta dello Sport" lamented that if the search continues like this, Lazio may have to buy 20 people next season...
Such reports can easily give people a feeling of panic.
It seemed like Lazio couldn't even survive this final.
Didn't "Gazzetta dello Sport" say that the players are no longer interested in playing, and everyone is thinking about which team they will join this summer.
Even Lazio's final opponent Manchester United came to enjoy the event.
Ferguson publicly praised Modric's performance this season.
"I think he is already the top midfielder in Europe." Ferguson said in an interview with reporters.
When the reporter heard this, he felt that there was something in it, so he asked further.
Ferguson followed the reporter's question and commented on Modric.
Finally the reporter asked him if he was interested in bringing in Modric.
Ferguson shrugged: "Why not? Who wouldn't want such an excellent player?"
So the next day, news appeared in the English and Italian media that Ferguson praised Modric and that Manchester United planned to introduce the Croatian midfielder.
"It is reported that Ferguson went to Glazer, the owner of Manchester United, for Modric, hoping that Glazer would give him a generous transfer fee to introduce Lazio's main midfielder..."
"...Ferguson seems to be destined to win Modric. Manchester United has already made an offer for Lazio. According to insiders, the offer is as high as 35 million euros!"
Suddenly, the news that Manchester United is interested in buying Modric is so loud that it even overwhelms the news that Real Madrid is interested in Benzema.
So everyone felt that Modric really seemed to be leaving Liverpool and going to Manchester United.
※※※
Chang Sheng knows very well why transfer rumors about Modric suddenly became the mainstream voice in the media.
This is actually the psychological warfare of Manchester United.
There are many types of psychological warfare, and this is just one of them.
Before the start of some key games, in order to disturb the morale of the army and interfere with the performance of the opponent's core players, the head coach of the team will suddenly announce that he is interested in a certain player of the opponent's team.
This can be regarded as conventional psychological warfare.
Ferguson is an old fox, so it's not surprising that he did this.
The key is that your own players cannot be affected.
So Chang Sheng went to talk to Modric alone.
As a result, Chang Sheng was very pleased with Modric's performance.
"Hey, boss, don't worry. I have a sense of discretion. I won't let these things affect me."
As soon as Chang Sheng opened his mouth, Modric said.
So Chang Sheng found that the words he had prepared were useless.
But he couldn't turn around and leave right away, that would be too shameful.
Always rambling.
So he simply asked: "Do you want to go to Manchester United?"
Modric shook his head firmly.
Chang Sheng smiled: "I'm not testing you, Luka. I'm seriously asking, do you want to go to Manchester United after this season?"
Modric did not answer immediately this time, but thought about it for a while.
Then he frowned and said, "I don't know, boss. I really don't know."
Chang Sheng suddenly felt strange: "What don't you know about this? Manchester United is the most influential football club in the world. Compared with them, Lazio is like a country team... Is this question difficult to choose?
"
Modric explained: "It stands to reason, boss. Manchester United is more famous than Lazio, but I'm not sure if I can achieve better results after going to Manchester United. I'm not talking about winning the championship at Manchester United.
, I mean that at Manchester United, my personal performance can go to a higher level. Although Lazio is not as well-known as Manchester United, I am the main player here, the core of the midfield, and I am very adaptable to tactics and so on... If I change
Due to the environment, I really don’t know if I can perform as well as I do now. What if I go to Manchester United and can only play as a substitute... I might as well play as the main force at Lazio. This is what I say in my heart, boss
."
Chang Sheng nodded after listening: "It's not easy for you to think so much, Luka. There are too many players who only think about money and money. They want to go to big teams because big teams can
Giving them more wages can make them stars. But they lack a plan for their own career future. Whether you leave or stay, I support your decision, Luca. Because I believe you have thought through it
I thought about it carefully.”
Chang Sheng left with satisfaction.
He was very satisfied with Modric's answer.
He is worthy of being the core of the organization on the court and the brains of the team. He likes to use his brain to think when playing football, and he is also good at using his brain to think about problems off the court.
Anyone who thinks about the problem with their brains will make the most correct decision on whether to leave or stay.
Just like Chang Sheng said, whether you leave or stay, I believe it has been carefully considered.
Then there is nothing to blame. We are all adults and need to be responsible for our own decisions.
※※※
The English media continues to hype the story between Modric and Manchester United.
The Italian media "Gazzetta dello Sport" also seemed very enthusiastic.
They even promoted Lazio players to other clubs.
Yue Zu takes his place.
Chang Sheng is happy to hear about this.
Because he really wants to sell people, so now let Gazzetta dello Sport, an influential media in Europe, help him advertise... why not?
As for Modric and Manmian's story, after listening to Modric's words, Chang Chang believed that Modric would make the most correct decision, and this decision would definitely not affect his performance in the Champions League final.
Performance.
But this media hype is also Ferguson's psychological warfare.
If you do nothing and don't fight back, you will be looked down upon and it will affect the team's morale, which is not worthwhile.
So Chang Sheng responded to Manchester United's hype.
"Manchester United wants Modric? Then don't rely on the media to spread the news, come directly to Rome to talk. Thirty-five million? Don't be shy, this amount of money only buys Modric's leg! ... I am very happy.
Seeing this kind of hype, because it will make my players more motivated and motivated to perform better when facing Manchester United. Because... maybe this is a good opportunity to impress Manchester United? There is nothing better than playing against Manchester United.
Beating them in a direct conversation would be a better self-promotion for Manchester United! I would give this advice to Modric - if Manchester United really want you, beat them in the final, conquer them and then go!"
An analysis by the English media... **! The words of "constant victory" are not alarmist, it is really possible!
In world football, how many players try their best in the game to attract the attention of the target team, and even have the ultimate goal of defeating the opponent?
Too many to count!
And those defeated teams also believe that players who do this have indeed proved their ability, and are more willing to introduce such successful players. Anyway, even if they can't use him, they can't let him become an opponent...
This situation is so common that it can even be considered an unspoken rule in football.
But the English media don't care whether Modric will really go to Manchester United. They just don't want to see the Italian team defeat the English team...
So after Chang Sheng said this, the English media suddenly became much silent, especially the media in Manchester.
Obviously, they don't want Modric to be full of fighting spirit to face Manchester United.
If Modric really performs well in the final and helps Lazio defeat Manchester United, Manchester United will have no place to cry!
※※※
The English media has become much quieter, and Lazio can continue to prepare for the game with peace of mind.
In the last half week before the start of the game, Chang Sheng focused on practicing set pieces and penalty kicks.
He remembers this season's Champions League final, in which Manchester United and Chelsea were decided by penalty kicks.
He didn't know whether his arrival would change the course of the game.
But he also remembered that it rained during the final.
If it rains, and if it rains heavily...Lazio, who pays attention to passing and controlling the ball, will definitely be greatly affected.
Manchester United may be able to rely on traditional British style of play to gain the upper hand.
That game was a contest between two English teams, so it cannot be used as a reference.
As the head coach of the team, Chang Sheng has to take all problems into consideration and make detailed and sufficient plans before the game so that he will not panic when such problems are encountered during the game.
If possible, Chang Sheng would naturally not want to take penalty kicks.
But if it does get to that point, he also hopes that the team will be fully prepared.
※※※
In this way, three days before the start of the final, the entire Lazio team set off from Rome, Italy, and flew to Moscow, Russia.
There, I adapted to the venue, climate, adjusted the time difference, and made final preparations for the finals.
Of course, in the eyes of many people, this may be the last glory of this Lazio team.
Regardless of whether they can win the Champions League, many of them will leave the team when this season is over.
But despite this, this team still deserves respect - this is the opinion of the media.
Before the game started, they seemed to know the result in advance, and even wrote the eulogy... (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
