Chapter 210 A Little Nervous

Until the players arrived at the Luzhniki Stadium, the sky was still clear and there was no sign of rain.

No one cares about the weather anymore.

When the players are warming up, they put on the sneakers consciously, and no one wants to change the studs.

The equipment administrator looked at this scene, and curled his lips in his heart, the set of spikes was white.

Chang Sheng didn't mention anything about whether it would rain anymore.

He now felt that perhaps his intuition had deceived him. After all, he is not Chu Zhongtian, and he has no intuition beyond ordinary people...

He began to think about how the game should be played in clear weather.

Competition skills can no longer be canceled and replaced.

It can only be wasted like this.

It is impossible for him to ask players to shoot long shots in non-rainy conditions because of his game skills.

Sunny days are different from rainy days, and shooting from far away is a waste of opportunity. Lazio are capable of delivering football all the way to United's goal.

When the players went out to warm up, the coaches followed suit, and Chang Sheng was the only one left in the locker room.

He closed his eyes and began to remember.

In my impression, the condition of the turf in that game was not good, and players from both sides slipped and fell from time to time.

Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar even slipped and fell when saving a ball in the game, giving Lampard a chance to score a goal.

Should I take advantage of this?

Let the players create more pressure in front of Manchester United's goal, forcing all Manchester United defenders including Van der Sar and the defenders to make mistakes.

Maybe the chance of making a mistake is not very high, but as long as it happens once, it can be fatal!

Then more through balls, threatening Manchester United's henchmen...

Chang Sheng has a deep understanding of this game, because he watched the live broadcast and also saw the guest comments on the World Football Program later, so he learned more about it.

He can even recite the tactics that Manchester United used in this game.

But when he designed the tactics of this game, he didn't consider this at all.

Why?

Because it is unnecessary.

United's tactics in that Champions League final he knew were based on their opponents.

United would only play like that when they were playing against Chelsea.

When the opponent changed to Lazio with a higher technical and tactical level, Chang Sheng did not believe that Ferguson would use the same tactics.

Ferguson is no idiot.

Therefore, recalling Manchester United's tactics and thinking of targeted strategies as templates in turn can only lead to a dead end.

In that Champions League final, compared with Chelsea, Manchester United's technical and tactical level was higher, so they took advantage of their technical and tactical advantages in the first half to advance by one goal and suppressed Chelsea for 40 minutes. It was not until the last minute of the first half that Chelsea relied on a mistake by Van der Sar to equalize the score.

But now Lazio's technical and tactical level is higher than that of Manchester United, so Manchester United will not use this tactic.

They should have used another method...

This method is likely to be the one Chelsea used against Manchester United.

Use the traditional talent and physical strength of the England team to contain Lazio's performance.

As long as Ferguson has studied Lazio's video, he will not be naive enough to compete with Lazio in skills and tactics.

Just like when the Spanish national team was at its most glorious, it was unwise to compete with them for their skills.

If the opponent uses his body, at this time, the game skills that he uses to increase the success rate of physical confrontation will come into play...

While Chang Sheng was meditating, the players finished warming up and returned to the locker room.

Chang Sheng saw them casually asking, "Is it raining outside?"

Some players replied to their head coach with a strange expression: "It's a clear sky, boss."

Chang Sheng nodded and stopped asking.

"Okay, let's talk about how the game should be played under clear skies..."

※※※

Ferguson was also worried about the rain. Although the weather forecast says there is no chance of rain. But things like weather forecasts... everyone knows that it's "believe it or not, it's up to you" stuff.

He is the one who really has the idea that "it's always right to be well prepared".

It is completely different from the "historical speculators" like Chang Sheng.

Although Manchester United is an English team, the current Manchester United style of play is already the style of continental football.

They are more about technique than the long balls of traditional English football.

Of course, in any case, it is also an English team. When it is really necessary to play a long pass, Manchester United can also go up.

Ferguson hoped that the weather would be good for everyone to play groundball.

In this case, Manchester United is also good at it.

Looking at it now, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

So in the last ten minutes before the start of the game, he said to his players: "Just play as we have practiced in training, give full play to the advantages of our two wings, and the two full backs must be proactive. Adding assists..."

When both coaches had said what they had to say, the teams left the locker room and waited in the tunnel.

There was no communication between the two sides.

At this time, the Lazio players' minds are full of the upcoming final, and they are a little nervous.

Yes, nervous.

It was the first Champions League final for all of them.

In fact, what Ferguson said is still reasonable. Although many players in this Manchester United team have not participated in the Champions League final, there are still people after all. Giggs, a veteran player, has participated in the 1999 Champions League final. He can pass on their experience to their teammates.

Although Giggs did not play this game, Scholes started this game. He wore the captain's armband, and his calmness still affected the whole Manchester United team, and made the young people of Manchester United feel at ease.

On Lazio's side, there is no such a Dinghaishenzhen character.

Jose Passarella is too silent as the captain, too young, and he has no experience in the Champions League final. What useful information can he convey to his teammates?

The first Champions League final in life... Everyone will have their own vision.

At that time, every performance of myself in the game will be widely broadcast along with the live TV broadcast...

If you perform well, you will be famous all over the world. But if you don't perform well... maybe you will be the object of ridicule by everyone!

All kinds of thoughts entered the minds of the Lazio players in the minutes before the game.

Then they played the game with what kind of thinking.

※※※

When Chang Sheng once again stood in front of the coach's seat on the sidelines of the Champions League final, it was inevitable that he would feel a little emotional.

After the 2003-2004 season, he has not appeared on the stage of Europe's top competition for four full seasons.

In fact, it was only four seasons, but he felt that it was very long, as if a century had passed.

He used to be a rookie on this stage.

Now he has the same experience in two finals as Ferguson next door.

I came back by myself.

Listening to the Champions League theme song played at the scene, Chang Sheng was sure that he belonged here.

UEFA Champions League...Final!

The top competition in European football is here, which is a good place to truly achieve success!

I haven't been here for four years. I don't know if European football still remembers me?

But it doesn't matter, if you don't remember, I will use victory to remind them of the name "tyrant" Chang Sheng.

※※※

Chang Sheng cared about whether it would rain or not, and went with his heart. After the game started, he realized that he had overlooked one thing.

That is to forget to do a psychological construction for this team...

Before the game, he talked all about tactics, but he didn't talk about psychology.

These players were a little nervous when they arrived on the court!

Chang Sheng felt a headache...

A football game is not like a basketball game. If this is a basketball game, Chang Sheng wants a timeout, and then gathers the players together for a short period of time to boost their morale and calm their nervous and overexcited hearts.

Believe that this way there will be no problem.

Now……

He can only hope that the players can adjust themselves soon.

※※※

Ferguson is an old fox. Chang Sheng found that his players were a little nervous, so he naturally saw it too.

So he immediately walked out from the coach's bench and issued instructions to the Manchester United team to strengthen their offensive against Lazio!

Seeing this, Chang Sheng also walked to the sidelines, roaring loudly: "All focus on me and get rid of distracting thoughts!"

It's a pity that such words are too general, and in the crowded Luzhniki Stadium, most players couldn't hear what he was shouting at all.

Ferguson asked the players to step up their offense and use gestures directly.

Let the players calm down, can you use gestures?

Under the adjustment of Ferguson, Manchester United quickly strengthened their offensive.

But Lazio did not return to normal under Chang Sheng's yelling.

From the beginning of the game, Lazio was beaten by Manchester United.

Their usual passing and running coordination characteristics have not been played out at all.

Instead, they fell into the rhythm of Manchester United.

"It seems that the Lazio boys are a little nervous...they can't let go...Ferguson is right, the Champions League final is a place where experience is important..." The commentator also quickly saw Lazio's dilemma.

Because the Lazio players were very stiff.

In fact, they themselves found themselves a little nervous.

But when they realized that they were nervous, they became even more nervous...

It's a vicious circle...

It was as if their bodies were not their own.

The tension culminated in the seventeenth minute.

Because Manchester United scored!

"Cristiano Ronaldo! Cristiano Ronaldo! Cristiano-Ronaldo!!!"

The commentator Dasheng repeated the name of the goal scorer.

The young Portuguese winger jumped high in place and pushed the football passed by Brown into Lazio's goal!
