While Lazio fans were frowning in the stands, Chang Sheng was hysterical in the dressing room.
Hysteria is not about grabbing the players by the collar, spitting at them and roaring: "I just want to win!"
This is unrealistic.
Chang Sheng's hysteria is manifested in a mental state. Although he says nothing, everyone will think that he is hysterical.
For example, he filled a blackboard with tactical arrangements as quickly as possible. Every time the chalk fell on the blackboard, it made a loud sound, making people worry that Chang Sheng would break the chalk...
After he finished writing, he slammed the chalk on the ground, turned around and looked at his players, his eyes even faintly red.
Everyone was shocked.
It turned out that when they entered the locker room, they were still very depressed. The first half was too frustrating... No one cares about it now. They are just surprised - why is the boss so... crazy?
Of course they don't know why the boss is so crazy, because this game, or these two rounds, for Chang Sheng, is not just a matter of winning or losing two games.
It's also about whether what he worked hard to achieve on that rainy night in Moscow last year was meaningful, and whether he can really resist the tricks of fate.
Chang Sheng gritted his teeth and said to his players: "Luka is injured. Domingo told me that it is a thigh muscle strain. The specific injury requires more detailed examination to see if his muscle fibers are torn or anything."
.So they are not here now, in the hospital."
Although he gritted his teeth, his tone was very calm, without even an exclamation point.
"Guys, now we have encountered a big crisis. It is no exaggeration to say that this is indeed a big crisis. We have met the opponent we met in the finals last season. Needless to say, you should also know that if we lose
If we lose them, what will be the result? They will question the championship we won last season, and the media will exaggerate our failure... "One year later, Manchester United succeeded in revenge!" "Lazio is the European champion, Manchester United defeated the European champion!"...
...Such a title, I can't think of anything like this. Now that we are behind, maybe those damn reporters have already started writing such articles in the media box... What's worse is that our midfield playmaker is injured again
.”
"The situation is not good, guys." Chang Sheng took a breath, spit it out, and then said.
"What to do? Give up? Of course not! Now, when everyone thinks we are finished, we are going to start a desperate counterattack! No organizer? No, we have! Mota!"
Mota was suddenly called by Chang Sheng's name. He was startled, then raised his head and looked at his boss.
"You are from Barcelona, Motta. From the beginning, you and Lazio's tactics can be seamlessly connected. This is the reason why I chose you in the first place. Although you are playing as Luka's replacement for most of this season,
You just assist him on the court, or play an organizational role in rotation games. Some people may doubt whether you can take on this important task in such a crucial game, but I have never doubted your ability. Now, it’s time to tell
Show your doubters what you are capable of, Mota."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he moved away from the blackboard, and then he began to point at the blackboard and said to Motta and other players: "Your position on the field is further back than Modric, but it doesn't matter, you have to know
It was me who started the tactic of putting the playmaker behind. When the time comes, Gotze and Cazorla will drop back to support you and help you connect the midfield and frontcourt. Gotze, Cazorla?"
The two people whose names were called responded: "I understand, boss!"
"When you need to move forward, don't hesitate, don't look forward and backward, just go forward. If you lose the ball, Ledesma and Candreva will protect you. Ledesma, Candreva?"
The two defensive midfielders also responded: "Yes, boss!"
"When we open up the situation on the wing, the two full-backs must be brave enough to step in. As long as you see a gap, you can pass the football there, Motta."
Motta nodded.
Next, Chang Sheng analyzed and explained to Mota one by one. Mota listened attentively and kept nodding.
Finally, Chang Sheng asked Motta: "Do you have any questions?"
Unexpectedly, Motta actually had it. He raised his hand and asked: "If the situation is suitable, can I shoot directly without passing the ball?"
Chang Sheng smiled and then nodded: "As long as the situation is suitable, you can take control of it yourself."
Motta nodded: "I understand, I have no problem, boss."
Chang Sheng glanced at him with satisfaction, then looked at the others.
"Guys, in the second half, we have to chase at least two goals, and we can't continue to lose the ball. Whether it's offense or defense, we will be under a lot of pressure. This requires you to run more and work harder than usual.
Much. I know this is difficult, but it is because it is difficult that we have to do it. Let Manchester United see why it was us, not them, who beat them and won the championship a year ago! This is not luck, this is
He **must have a reason!!”
※※※
After the second half of the game started, everyone found that Lazio, which had always won, had not made any adjustments. There were no changes in personnel or tactics.
But without Modric, how can Lazio beat Manchester United, who are one goal ahead of them and in good shape?
You must know that Modric is the core organization of Lazio, and can even be said to be the core of this mad dog tactics.
After Modric was injured, Motta was the only one who could replace him.
But how could Motta be able to match Modric?
If nothing changes, what will Lazio do to beat Manchester United?
Did he admit defeat and surrender in advance?
Even Ferguson next to him turned his head and glanced at the man squatting on the sidelines, wondering what Chang Sheng wanted to do.
Of course Chang Sheng cannot surrender in advance.
Let alone admit defeat and surrender in advance, even if it means admitting defeat and surrender, these two words are not in the dictionary of Chang Sheng.
There is certainly a reason why he chose to use Motta.
Any team must have a core, and the same applies to any tactics.
For example, Guardiola's Dream Team 3 was able to sweep across Europe. Their Tiki-taka tactics were very powerful, but this tactic and this lineup also have a core.
The media and fans have all focused on Messi, but in fact the essence of this tactic is Xavi.
As the brains of Barcelona, Xavi's role is irreplaceable.
Barcelona can live without Messi, but they cannot live without Xavi.
This is not about blackmailing Messi, and there is a simple fact that proves it.
Argentina with Messi or Spain with Xavi, who has better results?
Obviously Spain. With Xavi, Spain won the 2008 and 2012 European Cups, as well as the 2010 World Cup.
And what about Argentina, which has Messi and also has no shortage of other world-class players?
Diaosi can no longer be diaosi... Let alone the World Cup, they can't even win the America's Cup... The 2007 America's Cup champion was Brazil, and they defeated Argentina in the final.
Argentina, with Messi, only won one gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics football competition.
But in the field of adult football, Argentina with Messi has achieved nothing.
Of course, some people will say that Messi in 2007 had not really matured. At that time, he was not the absolute core in Barcelona and had many minor injuries and illnesses.
Then let’s take a look at Argentina’s results after Messi matured.
The 2010 World Cup can definitely be regarded as Messi’s first international competition after he matures, right?
What's the result?
Argentina, considered the favorite to win the championship, lost to the German team in the quarter-finals, with a huge score of 0:4.
You must know that this World Cup is considered by the media and fans to be the World Cup where Messi becomes the king... If he can lead Argentina to win the World Cup, he can become the third generation of football kings, which is undisputed.
It was the same every week in 2011. Argentina with Messi didn't even make it to the final...
When Messi monopolized the Ballon d'Or for four consecutive years due to his constant scoring performance at the club, there were different voices complaining about Xavi and Iniesta.
Even in the year when Spain historically won the World Cup, Messi was awarded the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or. That year, Messi could only win one league title.
But his teammates Xavi and Iniesta have all these honors, and their contributions to the team are no less than Messi.
Xavi and Iniesta also have World Cup titles.
But who says that Messi, who can score goals, is more conspicuous than both of them?
The core of the third dream team is Harvey.
There is also a core in the winning mad dog tactics. This core is of course not Falcao, who won the Serie A Golden Boot and the Champions League Golden Boot in one season, but Modric, who didn't score many goals but kept assisting.
But now Modric is off the field due to injury, and the core of the Mad Dog tactics is gone.
Changsheng can only activate the backup core, which is Mota.
Why did you buy Mota in the first place?
Isn't it just so that one day he can step forward when Modric can't play?
Because Motta has organizational skills and was trained in the Barcelona youth academy, and he is in line with the winning style and tactics, there will be no adaptation problems.
For the sake of safety at the beginning, winning often could only allow Motta to replace Modric in the rotation in unimportant games.
Now that the situation is special, he can only catch the duck and put it on the shelves.
Crouching on the ground, Chang Sheng hopes that Motta will not live up to his expectations, just like Giroud will not live up to his expectations.
He has put his reputation and face on the line...
If he loses to Manchester United in this game, or is even eliminated by Manchester United, he can guess what ugly words those people will say.
He has always been the only one who slaps others in the face, so how can he allow others to slap him in the face?
Not to mention Manchester United, whom he won in last year's Champions League final.
Even if Manchester United fails now, I will still win! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
