Chang Sheng did not explain why he did this at the post-match press conference. When faced with reporters' questions, he smiled disdainfully.
"I am the head coach of the team. It is my freedom to line up whatever lineup I want, and I don't need to report the reasons to you."
With just such a sentence, all the other person's subsequent questions were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
But it didn't take long for everyone to know why Chang Sheng did what he did.
When Lazio faced Debrecen at home in the Champions League group stage, the starting lineup given by Chang Sheng in advance was exactly the same as the last time the two sides met, Lazio's starting lineup!
So everyone understood... He didn't rotate just to let these players play this game again!
It seems that his resentment is really deep...
Although I praised Debrecen with my mouth at first, I was definitely not willing to do so in my heart.
But some people frowned: As for that? Anyway, you also won the last round, wouldn’t it be great if you won? As for playing again?
For Chang Sheng, it is very important.
Before the game against Debrecen, he said to these starting players in the locker room: "I think when you see this starting list, you should be able to understand something. For me, the key to that game is
The impact has not been completely eliminated. This is your chance to truly forgive. I won’t say that if you don’t play well, go to the reserve team. I know you know in your heart how you should play this game. Because you were in such a mess at the time.
It's you who are in trouble, not me! I can scold you bloody after the game, and then tell reporters that it has nothing to do with me! But this won't help you regain your glory.
The mistakes you made, please make up for them with your own hands now!"
So Lazio's players once again set foot on the pitch of self-redemption. Their opponent was the same as three weeks ago, Debrecen.
But this time, they will no longer be proud and underestimate the enemy.
Because the boss has already told them, they are not allowed to make the same mistake twice, otherwise they will go to the reserve team!

When the Italian media saw Lazio's starting lineup, they knew what Chang Sheng wanted to do - he wanted to get back the face he had lost!
They thought of Lazio's 13-0 victory over Bari.
Poor Barry... He just served as a foil for Debrecen. If the match with Debrecen was scheduled a week after the first round, maybe Barry wouldn't have to die so tragically...
Now, Chang Sheng obviously wants to let the original team bring Debrecen back!
But Debretzen doesn't see it that way.
After they lost 3:4 to Lazio at home, the entire Hungarian media was bragging about them. In the past few weeks, players, coaches, and even the club's gatekeepers have all been interviewed by different media, saying the same thing.
"Yes, no matter what the situation, we never thought about giving up. Everyone has seen what happened next..."
"My team was able to play like this with Lazio. This is definitely not due to luck or anything else. It is simply the result of our training. We worked hard in training, trained seriously, and finally created such a game. I am very proud of it.
The boys are so proud!"
…
When the head coach Debrecen saw Lazio's starting lineup, he said to his players: "Boys! This is Lazio's starting lineup, exactly the same as the last game! Basically all their main players are hidden!
What does this mean? It means that they don’t take us seriously at all! Even if we are so embarrassed, they still don’t take us seriously! Maybe they thought they defeated us in the last round and will win us after returning to the home court.
It would be easier... Then let them see our power! Tell them that we are not here to worship the European champions! We are the ones who pulled us into the water!"
※※※
When Debrecen's players stepped onto the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, they still believed that they could let the arrogant Italian team know that there was a small team in Hungary that was not afraid of them.
Although we are small and unknown, this is no reason for you to ignore us!
As a result, not long after the game started, Debrecen's players didn't see it that way.
Because Lazio took the lead in ten minutes.
"Rocky - oops, hit the post... No wait! The attack is not over yet! Candreva appears where he should be! Header into the top - a beautiful follow-up shot! The ball goes in
La!!!”
The Stadio Olimpico in Rome recalled a huge cheer.
In the last round, Lazio almost upset Debrecen in the away game, but not only Chang Sheng was angry, but so were the Lazio fans.
Because they were rivals in the same city, Roma fans laughed at them for almost not being able to win against the Hungarian team.
So at the beginning of this game, Lazio fans were very excited to see the team showing a completely different momentum from the previous round. They kept singing and dancing in the stands to cheer the team.
Because they can see that the team is not willing to give in. They want to wash away the humiliation they suffered in the last round!
Now Candreva has indeed scored!
They are not worried about the situation like the last round. They firmly believe that Lazio will give them a hearty victory!
Because of this, they were able to send out such huge and deafening cheers without restraint.
※※※
Candreva put the football into the goal with his head, and Giroud, who was closest to the goal, rushed into the goal immediately, picked up the football that was still bouncing in the goal, and then turned around and ran towards the center circle.
He passed Candreva in the middle, he stretched out his fist, and Candreva also stretched out his fist. The two fist bumped in the air, but did not hug, and just ran back to the second half side by side.
"I knew it! This must be what Chang had in mind! No one could ever take advantage of him. Debrecen almost overthrew Lazio at home, making Chang a big embarrassment in front of the whole of Europe. How could he swallow this tone?
Now it’s Debretzen’s turn to repay their debt for what they did before!”
the Italian commentator shouted.
"I don't know if Debrezen's head coach has watched the video of Lazio's game against Bari... If he has, just by looking at Giroud's action, he should know what a serious situation his team is facing now! If
He hasn’t seen it? I wish him and his team good luck!”
Debrecen's head coach didn't need to watch that game to know what it meant when the opponent immediately ran back with the football after scoring the goal.
So he rushed to the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Pay attention to defense! Don't let them score goals! Try to only concede one goal in the first half!!"
But as soon as his voice came out, he was drowned in the huge cheers of Lazio fans.
Lazio fans definitely watched Lazio's away game against Bari, so they knew exactly why Giroud did what he did.
This is really about revenge!
So they were excited, they were excited, and they gave out thunderous cheers, suppressing the voice of coach Debrecen...
※※※
Unlike the game against Bari, after Candreva scored, Chang Sheng did not continue to sit on the coaching bench and seemed indifferent. Instead, he stood up and walked to the sidelines to applaud the team's performance.
He expressed his praise for the team in this way.
At the same time, it also relieved the Lazio players who turned to look for him - the boss really forgave them...
You must know that after scoring a goal, many Lazio players did not raise their arms and cheer, but turned their heads to look off the field first, just to see what the boss's performance was.
If the boss still sits on the coaching bench with a straight face and is indifferent, then their hearts will continue to be hanging.
Now, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, this kind of relief does not mean to be discouraged.
Breathing a sigh of relief just makes them more relaxed.
But we still have to play this game well, not only to win, but also to win beautifully!
How can a ball do that?
Come on, Debrezen, get ready for the Blue Eagle's firestorm!
※※※
Next, Lazio continued to press the attack, the offensive did not slow down at all, and the rhythm was very fast.
Although Debrecen saw the huge gap behind Lazio's defense, he could only look at it with dismay and was completely unable to take advantage of it.
This is the real disdain and contempt for them, it is to make it clear that bullying Debrecen can't beat the football, it is to tell Debrecen clearly: you'd better hold your head now, and then squat down to be beaten!
This kind of contempt and disdain is completely different from the contempt and disdain in the previous round.
Although they all looked down on their opponents, last time it was called pride and underestimating the enemy, but this time it was called... domineering and leaky!
Lazio showed the space behind itself very clearly and told the opponent directly that if you have the guts, just come over.
But Debrecen just can't beat him...
They can only watch from a distance, and every time they defend, they are thinking: next time it is our turn to attack, we must attack! Definitely!
As a result, the next time it was their turn to attack, Lazio stole the ball before it even got past halftime, and were forced to switch to defense again.
I continued to look into the distance while defending and secretly swore: Next time... I will definitely do it!
This cycle continued over and over again, and for more than thirty minutes after the game started, they failed even once.
In the process, Lazio has scored two more goals. The first goal was by Hernanes. He also scored his first Champions League goal on behalf of Lazio.
The second goal scorer was Pavin. A header from a free kick in the frontcourt, clean and neat!
Now all fools know that Debrecen is dead, and will die miserably...
Debrecen's head coach stood on the sidelines, silent and with a dull expression.
Only then did he realize that what he was facing was not some cat or dog, but a super-powerful team in Europe that was as famous as Barcelona.
Be the real European champion!
How could he have lost his mind and want to defeat them on their territory? (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
