Chapter 78 The Path to Reversal (One Hundred and Twenty-Seven/One Hundred and Thirty-Four)

Because there was a league match on the weekend, the Lazio team did not rest after returning to Rome. They just took a short break in the morning and let the players go home to take a shower, change clothes and relax. They still had to train as usual in the afternoon.

And that afternoon, Changsheng also appeared at the Formello training base.

Nesta was a little embarrassed when he saw him.

It stands to reason that he should use a victory to celebrate the birth of the eldest brother's third child, but he messed it up. So now he can't even say congratulations to his boss.

So the media's ridicule was not wrong.

However, Changsheng's actions comforted Nesta's heart. After seeing Nesta, he gave him a hug.

In front of all the coaching staff members, this hug showed Changsheng's attitude.

"I'm sorry, guys." Then Changsheng apologized to everyone. "The responsibility for the failure of this game is mine. If it weren't for my personal matter, you shouldn't have been under this kind of pressure. But it doesn't matter, it's just a failure, the quarter-finals are two-round. We still have a chance at home. So, let's eliminate Manchester United at home next!"

On the training ground, Changsheng told the players something like this, telling them that the failure was their own responsibility, not theirs. They don't need to have any pressure, they performed very well at Old Trafford, and he was proud of them.

He comforted all the players and told them that it was no big deal, he was back, and the victory would belong to Lazio!

Lazio then began to train hard to advance to the semi-finals.

After the team training, Changsheng did not go home directly, but watched the video of Lazio's away challenge to Manchester United with several of his right-hand men, assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez, Nesta, tactical coach Dong Qiudi, and video analyst Balzaretti.

This was Changsheng's first time watching this game.

Before this, he really had never watched the game at all.

And the others were the second time.

Everyone watched the game video together, while watching, analyzing their opponents and Lazio's response in this game.

When Lazio lost the ball continuously, Changsheng criticized Nesta for not being decisive enough in his on-the-spot command,

too slow to adjust, and very rigid means and ideas, which were easily guessed by Mourinho, the old slick.

So the team lost the ball one after another.

Although they met for the first time today, Changsheng hugged Nesta.

But this is not the time to give Nesta face, and the criticism should still be criticized, otherwise Nesta will never be able to make progress.

Nesta did not express dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction with the boss's criticism. He knew very well that this was the boss's care for him.

Let him understand what his problems are, where they are, and how to solve them.

On his coaching journey, it is great to have such an outstanding leader...

Before Ji Ming scored in this game, Changsheng basically criticized Nesta.

But ten minutes before Ji Ming scored, Changsheng began to praise Nesta.

He said that after he fell behind by three goals, he really let go of his burden, which would help him make better judgments.

So in the end, his adjustment brought Lazio a valuable away goal.

After analyzing the team's problems in this game, Changsheng began to discuss with the coaching staff how to beat them at home.

Although he acted very relaxed in front of the media, it seemed that beating Manchester United was as easy as waving his hand, and the strong crossbow was destroyed in a chat.

But that was just a way for him to convey his confidence.

Or it was a superficial understanding of him by the outside world.

To defeat the opponent, it is not as simple as people think.

You must make full preparations and careful arrangements.

Only in this way can you defeat the opponent.

If you only rely on your big mouth to talk, it will be useless.

Of course, most of the public only see the scenery and victory in front of people, but do not understand or do not want to understand the work they do behind the scenes and the price they pay - these things are often boring and overly professional.

Few people are interested in these things.

Anyway, Changsheng brought them victory in the end, which is enough.

※※※

Changsheng and his coaching staff were busy until after ten o'clock in the evening before returning to their homes.

The newborn baby had already been fed and was sleeping soundly in the crib.

Avril did not complain about her husband coming back so late, she was used to it, her husband was a workaholic.

His legendary experience, without this crazy work, could not be explained.

Chang Sheng hugged his wife, greeted his parents, and then tiptoed to the rooms of his eldest son and daughter to check on the children who were already asleep.

He covered his son with the quilt again—he had kicked the quilt to his calves, and his entire upper body was exposed.

Finally he came to the master bedroom, his and Avril's room, and also the room of his youngest son.

He saw his youngest son sleeping sweetly in the crib.

The pink little face, when sleeping, his mouth was slightly pouting, and he was making a sucking motion, as if he was still sucking milk.

Chang Shengzhong used his fingers to tease his youngest son's mouth, and he sucked it in one mouthful, as if it was his mother's **, sucking very hard.

The little tongue licked and pressed inside, making Changsheng feel itchy and couldn't help laughing.

Avril gently gave him a pat from behind: "My son woke up!"!

Changsheng was silent, but still smiling, and the smile on his face became brighter.

"How cute... Seeing him, everything is worth it, and the pressure is nothing!"

He whispered.

※※※

There was another round of league before the home game against Manchester United.

As an adjustment, this game was given up by Changsheng.

So Lazio gave Sampdoria 1:- at home.

At the same time, Juventus won the game and took all three points, thus surpassing Lazio by one point and becoming the first in the league again.

Lazio became the second in the league.

At this time, the benefits of Juventus being eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals were reflected. Juventus, who fought on a single line, could concentrate on the league and exert their strength to the extreme in the league.

Although Juventus' performance in the European arena has been up and down, there is no team in the domestic league that can shake their position.

What the media said, "being eliminated early is a good thing for Juventus", is becoming a reality little by little.

※※※

In the middle of the week, the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals came.

This time, Changsheng did not disappear again.

The pre-match press conference was not Nesta, but Changsheng.

This time Changsheng took the initiative to attack Mourinho.

"I know Mourinho must want to beat me, and I sympathize with him, but I won't give him a chance. If he is brave enough, come and try! ”

In the last game, although Manchester United defeated Lazio, Mourinho was not very happy.

The first reason is that his team let Lazio get an away goal, which everyone knows.

Not many people know the second reason-although Mourinho beat Lazio, he defeated Nesta instead of Changsheng, so his victory seemed meaningless.

Changsheng sent his assistant to face Mourinho, which was originally a kind of contempt. But the difference in strength between the two sides is obvious, and Mourinho's victory is also a suspense. If Mourinho loses to Nesta, then there will be a problem.

So defeating Nesta, for Mourinho, is nothing to be happy about.

Instead, he is even more angry because he was underestimated.

Last time, he defeated Nesta, this time, he wants to take advantage of the victory and defeat Changsheng.

Changsheng's active provocation this time made him even more angry.

He quickly hit back: "I congratulate Changxi on his son, but such a busy day is not suitable for taking care of your own children. In order for him to devote more love to his family, I will help him get more rest time. This way he won't have to stay at home on match days. "

He was still talking about Changsheng's absence from the last round.

It can be seen how much he resented Changsheng's absence...···

※※※

At 7:30 pm on Wednesday, Lazio welcomed the match against Manchester United at home.

Changsheng personally supervised the game, and all the main players of Lazio started.

Lazio must turn the tables at home.

Lazio is two goals behind in the total score, and this situation is definitely not as optimistic as Changsheng said.

As long as Manchester United scores a goal away from home, the situation will become complicated.

Lazio must attack, but while attacking, the defense will be affected.

They can't guarantee that Manchester United will not score.

You must know that Mourinho's Manchester United's offensive power is also very good. They are not a deformed team like Nottingham Forest, with excellent defense and weak offense.

Facing this Lazio can't take defense lightly for a team like this.

But if they want to strengthen their defense, it will inevitably affect their offense.

Lazio must score at least two goals to eliminate Manchester United.

Offense and defense have become a paradox in this game.

If you strengthen your offense, you may be scored by the opponent.

In order not to lose the ball, strengthen your defense. The total score is still two goals behind. How can you make up for the difference of these two goals? It is obviously impossible to do it by defense.

This is the same as Lazio's rhythm.

When Lazio took the lead, their opponents will also face the problem that Lazio is facing now, offense or defense?

Just like Hamlet's "to be or not to be", this is really an eternal problem.

Everyone wants to see what kind of answer Changsheng will give.

※※※

From the beginning of the game, Lazio launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's goal.

No probing, no adaptation.

Lazio entered the game state very quickly, their offensive was like a storm, and Manchester United's players were a little breathless.

Within ten minutes, Manchester United was suppressed by Lazio and couldn't even get through half the field. Lazio bombarded Manchester United. Even if Manchester United got the ball, they could only choose to kick the ball forward hastily under Lazio's crazy frontcourt pressure.

The Lazio back line, which almost pressed to the center line, would intercept the football kicked by Manchester United players, control it again, and then launch an attack forward.

Just like grabbing an offensive rebound, wave after wave, it never stops.

Attack!

Fierce attack like a tide!

This is the answer given by Changsheng.
