Chapter 133 Lazio's New Offensive Core
When David Silva first played, everyone's focus was on him. Now that he is in such a bad state, everyone still pays so much attention to him, which shows how famous and influential he is.
But unfortunately, everyone soon discovered that the current David Silva made them feel strange.
So I gave up continuing to pay attention to him and turned to the game itself.
Juventus was also relieved to see that David Silva did nothing. Then they intend to continue to storm Lazio and try to equalize before the end of the game.
It was sixty-five minutes when David Silva came on.
There are still twenty-five minutes in the game, even if five minutes have passed now, there are still twenty minutes left.
They only need to pay attention to Gotze when defending, and the next step is to counterattack with all their strength.
Anyway, they are now behind by two goals. Even if they hide their defense and prevent Lazio from scoring, it is meaningless. They still lost the game 0:2 in the end.
Instead of waiting to die, it is better to give it a go.
So Juventus intends to hit Lazio's defense.
But when the game restarted and they officially did so, they found that things were not as simple as they thought.
Because they don't have many chances to attack...
The football big score time is under the control of Lazio.
After David Silva came on the field, Lazio's possession rate gradually increased from around 60% to 65%.
Even if Juventus wants to counterattack, they have to stop the football first.
But when David Silva played, there was an invisible change.
Because of David Silva's more passes, Lazio's possession rate has increased, and football is on Lazio's side more often. It is not easy for Juventus to break.
David Silva's seemingly disappointing style of play has benefited Lazio a lot, helping the team survive the most dangerous period, and being in charge of Juventus is really desperate under the crazy impact, saying Maybe they will be destroyed?
David Silva does not show off his footwork, does not try to break through,
Although the contribution to the offense is not great, it has played an important role in the defense.
In the end, Juventus failed to score until the end of the game.
Lazio beat Juventus 2-0 at home.
Juventus once again hated the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Of course, the best player after the game was Cavani, and it had nothing to do with David Silva.
Even David Silva was criticized by the media for eating again after the game.
This time, the point of criticism of him has nothing to do with his state, but focuses on his game attitude.
They think that David Silva's game attitude is too negative and dare not take the ball, dare not take responsibility.
In response to such criticism, Chang Sheng supported his disciples at the post-match press conference.
"I think David Silva's performance is very good. As a player who has been seriously injured for most of the season, he needs to regain too many things. But it's not just rediscovering, he is walking a path now. He has never walked a road before, and it is normal to walk slowly. But you media, criticizing David for being in a bad state for a while, and now saying that "it is normal to be in a bad state, but it is not good if the game attitude is not correct"... You yourself have Are you sure?"
"I advise you not to talk too much, don't talk too crazy, and don't talk too early. Be careful that you will be turned out and slapped in the face in the future. I am a very vengeful person."
In the end, Chang Sheng nakedly threatened the reporters.
And David Silva said that he felt good when he was interviewed by reporters. As for the reporters asking him to explain his performance in the game, what he said was basically the same as Chang Sheng.
"I will take a new path."
※ ※ ※
The topic of David Silva gradually subsided after everyone saw his performance of not thinking about making progress-everyone is willing to degenerate, what else is there to say?
Anyway, the name David Silva will be gradually forgotten by people, and will be replaced by the increasingly hot Goetze.
Gotze's jersey sales began to outstrip David Silva's, and that was a sign.
Chang Sheng felt relieved that the media finally did not bother David Silva.
Although he was angry about this, his attitude was quite peaceful, and he didn't make a big fuss with the reporters at the press conference, because he knew that doing so would only make the reporters pay more attention to this matter.
Now he doesn't need media attention, he needs media to forget, even if David Silva is completely forgotten.
In short, David Silva should be given a quiet environment, let him learn slowly, improve gradually, and finally...be a blockbuster again!

After defeating Juventus 2-0 at home, Lazio's league ranking rose by two more places, jumping from sixth to fourth.
Juventus, which was ranked in the front before, dropped from second to sixth because they lost one game.
Lazio's victory against Juventus has restored some confidence in Lazio.
The media commented that Lazio's state is gradually recovering.
Although David Silva still hasn't found his own form, fortunately Lazio no longer needs him. Now they have a new offensive core, Gotze, and the young German is leading Lazio back to the top of the league.
At the age of seventeen, he still hasn't signed any professional contract with Lazio, but the media reported that Lazio's salary is not in accordance with the standard of apprentice contract at all. Some media even said that if this is an apprenticeship contract, it must be the most expensive apprenticeship contract in history!
In addition to not having a professional contract, Gotze enjoys the same treatment as an adult player.
So everyone is not surprised that Gotze will successfully sign with Lazio a year later.
In this summer, it is not that no club has tempted Gotze, but they all failed. No matter how great they seem to be, they are not as good as Lazio in front of Gotze.
The relationship between Ge Ce and Chang Sheng has withstood the test of money and fame.
And last season Gotze played an important role in Lazio and helped the team win the league championship and the Coppa Italia championship, which proved that he was absolutely right to abandon Dortmund and come to Lazio.
There are many possibilities in life, and Gotze undoubtedly chose the most correct one.
"If nothing else, Lazio's new offensive core will be Mario Gotze!" cheered the German media.
They didn't mention at all that last season they accused Chang Sheng and Lazio of being thieves and stealing German football geniuses.
Facts have proved that Goetze's going to Lazio is a good thing for him. He played in Serie A and the Champions League when he was 16 years old. policy growth.
At the same time, this growth has also benefited German football.
In the European Football Youth Championship for Under 17 held in Germany this summer, Gotze, who has been baptized in Serie A and the Champions League, performed well. Both his level and mentality were significantly higher than his peers. In the European Youth Championship under the age of 17, he stood out from the crowd and eventually led the German team to the championship.

While Gotze was receiving all-Italian praise, David Silva continued his training.
The Lazio players all know what David Silva is doing in training, but they are not very sure whether David Silva can succeed.
They all know how difficult it is for a player with a mature technical style, characteristics and mentality to re-transform.
Not only does he have to address his style issues, but his positional issues as well.
He is not the kind of unknown person, he has achieved success in the way he is good at at the winger position, he is different from those who can't play in the original position and have to change positions to have a way out.
Inertia is terrible.
Now, the teammates have nothing to do but cheer for him.

After the third round of the league, Lazio ushered in the first game of the Champions League this season in midweek.
They went away to Lyon.
This is the first time that the two most powerful teams in this group have met-compared with Lyon, who once won seven consecutive Ligue 1 titles, Liverpool without Benitez and Istanbul Night is indeed much weaker...
In this group, the competition for the first place is basically between these two teams.
Of course, David Silva continued to sit on the bench in this game.
Gotze and Rocky and Cavani's starting partner.
David Silva still came off the bench in the second half and played for about 20 minutes.
Of course, just like the last game against Juventus, David Silva kept passing the ball, running, catching the ball, passing the ball, and running again after he came on the field... and so on. Of course, occasionally he would try to dribble laterally with a through ball.
But no success.
So his attempt didn't leave much impression on everyone.
Judging from the evaluation of the media after the game, David Silva is still sleepwalking and doing nothing.
Because there was a focus match with Juventus three days ago, Chang Sheng stayed in the league. In addition, Chang Sheng was suspended for three games in the Champions League last season, so he was not able to go to the scene to direct the game in this group match . According to his habits, he didn't even go to the stadium, but watched the game in his hotel room.
In this game, it was not Rudy Gonzalez who commanded the game instead of him, but another assistant coach, Di Matteo.
Under the influence of multiple factors, in the first group match of the Champions League, Lazio finally drew with Lyon 1:1 away.
Not losing an away game is a good result.
At that time, if unfortunately the score is the same as Lyon, then it can only be compared with the record of the two sides. If there is no loss in the away game, the record of the match will have an advantage.
Of course, the possibility of this is extremely small. completely negligible.
Regardless of Lazio's performance in the transfer market this summer, their goal is not to entangle with the other three teams in the group stage.
Lazio will completely destroy the opponents in the group stage with a destructive momentum, get out of the group stage quickly, and never waste energy on meaningless group stages.
Lazio's opponents are all in the knockout stages.
Lyon, Liverpool, and Lazio are all ignored. (to be continued...)
