Chapter 203 Psychological Counseling (13/21)

That night, sports programs throughout Europe reported Chang Sheng's participation in the pre-match press conference.

"When a reporter got up and asked him about Falcao's transfer..."

"... often staring at that reporter without saying a word, the two stared at each other for a full minute, until the first reporter went on by himself..."

"Next, the protagonist of this press conference was strangely Chelsea's press officer. He confronted the reporters on the spot..."

"Reporters ignored his repeated reminders that 'only ask questions related to the game', and insisted on asking Chang Sheng about Falcao's transfer..."

"In the end, the unbearable press officer announced the end of the press conference in five minutes! So five minutes...from sitting down to leaving, it was only five minutes in total, and he only said three sentences in total, one of which was 'goodbye' '..."

"...The above is the entire content of the pre-match press conference for the second round of the Champions League semi-final between Lazio and Chelsea..."

"Some media said that UEFA will punish Chang Sheng because Chang Sheng did not cooperate... But soon the official spokesperson of UEFA denied this rumor. They said that this was a dispute between Chelsea club press officers and reporters. ...Actually at the press conference, the head coach has the right to answer questions that have nothing to do with the game..."

No matter how you change the channel, as long as it is a sports program, it must be talking about this matter.

Some media named this press conference "the most inexplicable press conference in history", because Chang Sheng made it clear that he wanted to have a cold war with the reporters, and the reporters also set up a posture to prevent Chang Sheng from coming to the stage... Finally How did it turn into a big fight between Chelsea's press officer and the reporters?

The media also believed that Chang Sheng's reaction showed that he was very anxious about Falcao's transfer. He refused to answer because he lacked confidence and didn't know how to answer...

This shows that Lazio has been in disarray internally.

Relying on this kind of specious analysis, many media have completely ruined it. Get high on your own public opinion position.

While the media were discussing, Chang Sheng took his players to a pre-match tactical meeting in the conference room of the hotel.

It is said to be a tactical meeting, but it is actually a psychological counseling class.

Because before that,

Everyone knows that their teammate Falcao is going to transfer to Barcelona, ​​and it is still in the mode of Lazio selling people for a record price.

Everyone will inevitably have some ideas in their hearts.

Chang Sheng intends to have a frank and honest talk with them.

Although his team is young, there are no minors under the age of 18 in the first team. Everyone is an adult. What can't be said or understood?

Chang Sheng sat on the far left of the round table, and the players and coaches lined up from his left and right hands to the far right, forming a circle.

"Everyone knows something." Chang Sheng started his psychological counseling session. "It was Falcao's transfer. For me, it's a normal thing, but now there's a lot of noise out there. I know why they did it, but I'll tell you the answer later. I Now let's talk about our own business."

Chang Sheng changed his posture, propped his elbows on the table, and crossed his hands on his chin.

"I know that many of you have your own thoughts on this matter, that is your freedom, and I don't intend to get to the bottom of it. But there is a premise, that is, it is not allowed to affect the team's normal preparations and games. You can put You keep your thoughts in your hearts, but if you do something that breaks the unity of the team, I will let you know why I was called a 'tyrant' by them."

"Now, let's talk about it honestly. I don't want to put any pressure on you to leave the team if, by the end of the season, you think you have nothing to pursue in Lazio. Keep anyone. You have to pursue your goals, and I have mine. My goal is to make Lazio a real giant. My goal is to build a real dynasty in Italian and European football. Remember After we won the league championship, what did the media say? They can't wait to put the 'dynasty' hat on our heads. But don't be too happy, for me, we just won the league for two consecutive times. This is just the beginning. If any of you share my goals, I welcome you to stay."

"Of course, I know that the club's current financial problems cannot meet the salary requirements of many of you...I have no intention of asking you to stay and get a salary that does not match your performance. If any of you want to stay, don't be in a hurry Tell me, please think about it for a summer, and then tell me your options. I won't take it against any of you. If any of you want to stay, I welcome him, welcome to create an era with me. I have such Confidence, because I do what I say!"

"I know that no matter how much I say, there will be people leaving this summer, and not less. The outside media are actually right. After this summer, Lazio will fall apart. This is the way any team that reaches its peak will leave. No one can violate such natural laws. So in fact, this is the last chance for you people to get together and play football. Cherish this opportunity, guys. Many of you are coming to At Lazio, you were still unknown unknowns, and now you can go to any team on this planet to be the main force."

"Don't let this period of time leave a regretful tail. Go all out and come back with a Champions League. For yourself and for your teammates."

"Now we are disbanding, I am looking forward to the good news that we will advance to the finals tomorrow!" After speaking, Chang Sheng waved his hand, and the meeting ended!

When Chang Sheng returned to his room, not long after, there was a knock on his door, and when he opened the door, Jose Passarella and Pavon stood outside.

When the two saw Chang Sheng, they were about to speak.

Chang Sheng reached out to stop them.

"As I said, wait until you are on vacation to make a choice. Now, I just want you to play well, finish the Champions League semi-final, then finish the Champions League final, no matter who our opponent is, and finally bring me a championship. .So now go back and rest."

After speaking, Chang Sheng waved to them, turned and went back to the house, and closed the door.

Jose Passarella and Pavon outside the door looked at each other, it seemed that the boss was telling the truth...

In this case, it really can only wait until you come back from vacation.

But the two of them firmly believed that they would not change their minds.

After Chang Sheng gave them a new life, they had already decided to follow the boss. Wherever the boss goes, they follow, and they will do whatever the boss asks them to do, no matter what!

Because the press officer came out to help Chang Sheng attract hatred, Chang Sheng was not really punished by UEFA. He can appear in the game against Chelsea as usual.

This makes Chelsea coach Grant a bit regretful.

If Chang Sheng can be suspended, I believe Chelsea will have more hope of advancing.

However, it was a surprise that Chang Sheng was suspended, and if he didn't, he wouldn't force it. What really made Grant happy was that the Italian media exposed the news of Falcao's transfer in advance, which dealt a fatal blow to Lazio. Now Lazio's extreme fans, the "uncultivable faction", are still protesting at the gate of the club's president Lotito's yard. With internal and external troubles, Lazio is simply a mess, blocked at both ends.

This incident will definitely greatly affect the morale of the Lazio team.

This is Chelsea's chance.

The gap of three goals... under the influence of so many favorable conditions, maybe I can really create miracles?

Grant began to look forward to the moment when the game ended and the standings showed a score of 4:0, the scene of thunderous cheers at Stamford Bridge.

That must be an unforgettable scene in my coaching career...

Grant seems to have decided that Lazio will underestimate the enemy and have no intention of fighting.

Their whole team definitely wants to return to Italy as soon as possible, from the coach to the players.

Such a team, Chelsea, will definitely be able to defeat them amidst the cheers of the home fans and complete an epic reversal!

Before the game was about to start, Chang Sheng stopped Falcao who was about to play.

"I know you're going to be a little confused, Romedal. But you've got to score in this game."

"Must?" Falcao was a little surprised. The boss never said to a player, "You must score in this game." Who knows if he can score goals? How can this be done?

But Chang Sheng nodded: "Yes, you have to score goals. If you don't want to get yourself into trouble... Now the fans are protesting that Lotito sold you, but there are also some fans who are dissatisfied with you leaving Lazio ... You have the choice to stay and go, I know. But some people don't see it that way, the rabid fans don't make sense. You have to convince them with your performance. There is nothing like scoring goals. When you score, the controversy around you disappears and the pressure is transferred to Lotito and me, but then you don't care. Tell those Lazio fans with a goal that you are gone, I also leave with a clear conscience!"

Falcao froze for a moment, and after digesting Chang Sheng's words, he nodded: "I know what to do, boss. Thank you!" After speaking, he bowed slightly to Chang Sheng, He felt that this should be an etiquette for Orientals to show respect.

Chang Sheng waved his hand: "Go, get ready to play."

Falcao thanked again and turned to leave.

Chang Sheng looked at Falcao's back and smiled.

A hungry tiger is put down, are you ready, Grant?
