Chapter 26 Tasteless?

What Rudy Gonzalez yelled from the sidelines made sense.

When Zenit St. Petersburg discovered that Lazio in the second half was completely different from the Lazio in the first half, they began to panic.

But at that time, they were still the leaders anyway, so there was limited panic.

But when Lazio scored, everything changed.

Not to mention the complete reversal of the situation, Lazio evened the score. In terms of morale, Lazio has surpassed Zenit St. Petersburg.

In addition, Arshavin was caught in the entanglement of Ledesma and did not perform well, which made the players of Zenit St. Petersburg feel a little hopeless.

If they continue playing like this, they don't know if they can win...

This is the scariest.

When a team sees no hope, maybe it's time for them to die.

Rudy Gonzalez has already seen signs of his opponent's collapse, and now he wants to add fire.

※※※

After the game restarted, Lazio was full of momentum. On the other hand, Zenit St. Petersburg was alive and well in the first half, but it died out in the second half.

Until the 77th minute, Arshavin could not get rid of Ledesma's entanglement, and Advocaat had to replace him.

Arshavin's end also meant that Zenit St. Petersburg gave up their offense.

Indeed, Advocaat then put on defensive players to try to strengthen the defense and dragged the game into a penalty shootout.

But unfortunately, Lazio did not let them get their wish.

In the 82nd minute, Chiellini, who came off the bench, scored his first goal since joining Lazio with his head in a corner kick!

2:1, Lazio completed the reversal!

※※※

When Lazio took the lead, the rhythm of the game completely fell into Lazio's control.

However, they did not delay time in the backcourt.

Instead, the siege of Zenit St. Petersburg continued.

Keep going straight, and the speed is still increasing!

"It seems that Lazio are not satisfied with a small victory..."

"Lazio are very fast... I don't mean that one of their players is fast, but their overall attack speed is very fast! Passing and running and passing and running, Lazio almost never wastes time on pointless things. Possession and passing. Their passing is more purposeful..."

Listening to the voice of the commentator on TV, Guardiola thought of the argument he had with Chang Sheng.

Is it the pursuit of absolute ball control, or to improve speed?

The two sides have been arguing about it.

Guardiola believes that as long as he can firmly control football at his feet. The game will lose its suspense, and the victory must belong to itself.

But Chang Sheng believes that blindly holding the ball will sooner or later face the situation of being restricted by the opponent.

The development direction of football should not be possession, but speed.

Speed ​​should be pursued on the basis of ball control.

Now he is at home in Catalonia, to realize his ideas.

While talking, Lazio scored another goal.

Cavani's shot was blocked by the goalkeeper, and then Modric followed up with a follow-up shot.

Soccer kicked in.

3:1!

Lazio leads Zenit by two goals!

Guardiola turned off the TV, leaned on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling.

Based on his understanding of Lazio, when the game reaches this point, Lazio will basically win.

Judging from this game. Chang Sheng insisted on his speed concept.

And it turned out well, with a win and a trophy.

And what about myself?

Can your ideas be proven correct?

Chang Sheng has won many trophies, but he has no honor.

Chasing after that man...is a bit difficult...

※※※

While Guardiola ponders his future, the ever-victorious side have crushed Zenit St. Petersburg.

Faced with a two-goal deficit, Zenit had nothing to do.

They were so relaxed at halftime that they couldn't even get nervous in the second half.

In the end, Zenit St. Petersburg lost 1:3 to Lazio.

Lazio successfully won the European Super Cup!

This is Lazio's second championship in the new season.

In the postgame press conference, Advocaat complained about the media.

"Before the game, the media told me that Lazio was in ruins, but now I just want to ask them, has any of you seen such ruins?!"

※※※

The league hasn't started yet. Lazio has already won two championships in one breath.

So in the new season's Serie A championship odds, Lazio topped the list. To be the most favored club.

It surpassed Mourinho's Inter Milan, which also has a champion coach, and Juventus and Milan.

"It's unscientific!" In the editorial office, Pacheco yelled, looking at the odds given by the bookmakers on the computer screen. This is really unscientific, after leaving nine first-team players, including five main players. Lazio's strength should decline.

But why can the declining Lazio still rank first in odds?

Just because he won two Super Bowls?

But what's the point of that kind of tasteless competition?

The real test is in the league!

Pacheco thought for a while, and began to write Lazio chapters for the teams looking forward to the new season.

From team signings to club economic conditions, to team status and head coach tactics.

Pacheco covered everything, and then concluded that he was not optimistic about Lazio defending the league title for the third time in a strong Serie A league!

"Of course, if the goal is only the Champions League, Lazio should be able to achieve it. In fact, for Lazio, being able to participate in the Champions League every year is already considered a remarkable achievement..."

Then the league started.

※※※

Because they have just participated in the UEFA Super Cup, Lazio's first round of the league is the last game.

On the night of September 1st, Lazio challenged Cagliari away.

This is Lazio's first appearance in the league in the new season, and this game has attracted much attention.

Although Lazio won two Super Cups, an authoritative media such as Gazzetta dello Sport said that Lazio's two Super Cups were tasteless.

It is said that the league is the real test.

In the long season, anything can happen.

The first game of this league. Maybe we can see some clues.

So more than forty media gathered at the Sant'Elia Stadium, Cagliari's home stadium, to observe the game up close.

Before the game, the focus of media reports was also on this game.

Before the start of the game, Chang Sheng said to his players in the locker room.

"Outside now, there are more than forty media outlets paying attention to us. Do you know what this means? It means enormous pressure!" Chang Sheng said. "Because everything we do is put under a magnifying glass by so much media trying to pick out our faults at the tiniest point. Then prove us a failure. We can't let 'em get what they want, guys. We can't be losers, No one likes to lose, there can only be one champion in a season, and we want to be the only one! I know it may make you nervous, especially those players who joined the team this season, but never From now on, you must learn to adapt. This is Lazio football, football that is always moving forward under pressure! I hope that after one season, you can proudly say to others: 'No pressure can overwhelm me. Because I am a Lazio player!' '"

※※※

The Lazio players who played under tremendous pressure and under the colored magnifying glass of others faced Cagliari's tenacious blocking in the away game.

Like the Super Bowl, the goal is conceded first.

In the 30th minute, Cagliari scored first and broke the deadlock.

But unlike the Super Cup, this time, Lazio did not wait until the intermission to make adjustments before taking action.

They equalized five minutes after conceding the goal!

"David Silva! A beautiful curve ball from outside the box! The ball bypasses everyone and goes straight to the back corner of the goal!"

After the goal, David Silva ran on the pitch with open arms.

For those new players who joined Lazio. What the boss said before the big game may make them feel pressured.

But David Silva will never be under pressure.

He has been in Lazio for three seasons and this is the fourth.

He has long been used to the feeling of playing under the boss.

When he was a Valencia youth team player. He had heard many rumors about the boss. At that time, in the Valencia echelon, the boss was a mythical figure. There seems to be no one in this world who can stop him from performing miracles.

Chang Sheng had this style in Valencia, so he can adapt quickly.

After coming to Lazio and really starting to cooperate with the boss, Silva always trains seriously in training. Give it your all when you're on the court. Although his goals and assists last season have declined compared to the previous season, this does not mean that his performance has declined. On the contrary, his performance has been better than before. Because David Silva has made rapid progress in key balls in key games. He scored many key goals last season.

Both Falcao and Benzema scored goals. In order to allow Falcao to sell for a good price, Chang Sheng sacrificed David Silva, but even so, David Silva has no complaints, but has repeatedly been the savior at critical moments.

In the new season, Changsheng intends to let David Silva be the core of the offense. Because whether it is Cazorla or Gotze, or Cavani, Rocky, Giroud, these people are not qualified to be the core of the offense.

Cazorla's ability is fine, but he keeps swinging between the midfield and the striker and cannot be the core. Gotze has no problem with his talent, but he is still too young to play such high-intensity games continuously.

Cavani is still a semi-finished product and needs to practice again. In Naples, I didn't practice him very well...

So now the most mature person on the front line is only David Silva.

"David Silva was in very good form in this game! He was very active from the very beginning of the game! In this summer, he rejected the invitations of many wealthy clubs and chose to stay and renew his contract with the club. And Chang succeeded in keeping David Silva, which can be regarded as keeping Lazio's offensive power..."

ps, on the first day of August, I ask everyone for a guaranteed monthly pass!
