Chapter 143 Experiment

Before this game, many people fantasized about the matchup between Lazio and Sampdoria.

Especially the Sampdoria fans, who fantasize about their team beating Lazio away, just like they beat Inter Milan at home.

Then they can hold their chests up and announce that the Sampdoria team that dominated Serie A back then is back!

They also imagined many ways to beat Lazio.

But when the game really started, they realized that fantasy is fantasy after all.

People who were full of expectations for Lazio before the game are now silent.

※※※

In this game, Sampdoria's head coach Del Neri was not dazzled by the ranking of the league's first, and ran to Rome's Olympic Stadium to fight against Lazio.

He chose to counterattack defensively.

Although Sampdoria's offense has improved a lot this season.

Because they have Cassano from Real Madrid and Pazzini from Fiorentina.

But in this game, Del Neri did not dare to confront Lazio.

Let alone Serie A now, even in the whole of Europe, no team dares to attack Lazio.

Confrontation is a dead end.

Let's use the tradition of Italian football-defense to deal with Lazio.

From a tactical point of view, Sampdoria's choice is correct.

Defense is always better than offense.

They also successfully defended their own goal in the first half and drew 0:0 with Lazio.

This once made Sampdoria fans and those commentators and reporters who like Lazio lose very excited for a while.

I thought Sampdoria could really compete with Lazio.

As a result, in the second half, they realized that they were really broken.

※※※

The second half was Chang Sheng's chance to experiment with that new idea.

David Silva, Cazorla and Modric can all organize attacks. So Chang Sheng didn't arrange specific tasks for them, and didn't tell them how to play, but just let them cooperate freely and seek opportunities.

As a result, Lazio's offense suddenly became incomprehensible in the second half.

I really don't understand. Because there are no rules to follow. People don't know exactly how Lazio's offense will play.

When Modric has the ball, he is the core of the playmaker and will be heavily marked by the opponent.

But he can pass the football to David Silva.

David Silva's performance against Fiorentina in the last game proved his organizational ability and talent, and Sampdoria naturally cannot take it lightly.

Then David Silva passed the football to Cazorla.

In the eyes of Sampdoria, Cazorla's threat is naturally not as high as that of David Silva and Modric.

As a result, Cazorla used his breakthrough to disrupt the opponent's defense. Give the football to Gotze. Gotze shot from the corner of the penalty area!

The football made a wonderful arc, bypassing Sampdoria goalkeeper Luca Castellazzi, and crashed into the round corner of the goal!

At this time, the second half of the game has only started nine minutes...

Italian gold medal commentator Fabio Caresa naturally has a higher level than other commentators. He saw the problem at a glance and said: "Lazio's offense is hard to defend!"

This is the purpose of Changsheng's hope that everyone in Lazio will be the core of the organization.

In order to make the offense impossible to defend against. In order to make the opponent at a loss!

The attack just now was typical.

Sampdoria guarded Modric and David Silva, but they didn't expect Cazorla to be the player who sent the final deadly pass.

Of course, if Cazorla is also blocked, it doesn't matter, Lazio still has a midfielder Ledesma who can get in. And Golden Boy Gotze.

In short, when Lazio's offensive starts to work, it must make the opponent feel desperate!

Leave them wondering what to do!

Let them finally feel that sitting down, closing their eyes and waiting for death is the only option...

※※※

The dream is full, but the reality is very skinny.

While Gotze and the rest of the Lazio players cheered the goal, the Sampdoria fans in front of the TVs and in the stands fell silent.

They looked forward to beating Lazio away, but now they are behind Lazio.

Although only one goal behind...

But Sampdoria fans who watch Serie A all year round know it. Lazio likes to play downwind the most, and when they lead, the game almost enters their rhythm.

They play with ease, while their opponents feel uncomfortable.

So when Lazio took the lead, many Sampdoria fans were silent. They know big things are bad.

Sure enough, Lazio completely entered their rhythm afterwards.

Leading by one ball allowed Lazio, who had an advantage in possession, to relax.

With this spirit relaxed, it will be fine to kick naturally.

Because there is no pressure, you can do whatever you want.

And doing whatever you want is the realm that Changsheng requires the midfielder and frontcourt combination to kick out.

When you do whatever you want, how can your opponent know what you are going to do next? Not sure what you're going to do next, how do they defend?

In the box with the best position in the stands. Assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez was standing there, not following the others to the dugout, but here in the box.

His task is to shoot game video.

A tripod was set up in front of him, and a camcorder was mounted on the tripod.

He is responsible for filming the game from an overall perspective, and going back to remove useless things. For example, clips of the opponent's offense are cut out, edited into a collection of Lazio's offensive organization, and then used as reference materials.

The coaching staff can use these videos to discover the problems and potential of new tactics, so as to adjust themselves.

It can also be shown to the players, telling the players their gains and losses, where they need attention, and where they need to improve.

Rudy Gonzalez watches the game through the camera's LCD screen.

Because of the small size of the screen and the long-range shots, the players look like little black dots.

Fans must not like such a broadcast screen. Because nothing can be seen clearly. They want to see wonderful individual performances, beautiful dribbles and shots, and unexpected saves...

These perspectives cannot be shown.

But as a coach, this perspective is just right.

He can see every player's running path and passing path.

Rudy Gonzalez looked at the court and couldn't help but admire the idea of ​​winning often.

Lazio still looks a little messy when attacking. But amidst the chaos there are some bright spots.

The previous mad dog tactics regarded the team as a whole as a sophisticated machine, and the players were the various components of the machine. Each has its role. As long as the coach sets the program, the machine will follow the program.

Although the efficiency is very good, but the subjective initiative is a bit poor, and since it is a machine, there are rules to follow, so it is easy for masters to study thoroughly.

Chang Sheng was right. With the success of these two teams, Lazio and Barcelona, ​​there will be more and more teams studying how to defend them and how to contain them.

There will be less and less room for Lazio to play -taka in the future.

If you don't think about making progress, you will come to a dead end.

Even if they have achieved nine seasons of success, maybe the failure of the last season is enough to bury them and the success of the previous nine seasons!

The current new tactic is to give full play to the creativity of the players themselves.

Stimulate their imagination and assist initiative. From "what the coach tells us to do" to "what we want to do ourselves".

Thereby enhancing the elusiveness of tactics, making it difficult for opponents to study through. Because studying this tactic is tantamount to studying every player in Lazio, which is not an easy job.

Of course, there is a disadvantage of letting the players play on their own, that is, you can't control their thoughts and performances. At some point, everyone thinks that passing is better than shooting. Picking up the players, in case the brain twitches, the blood rushes to the head, and you have to do it yourself, the result is that the football is shot and the team loses the game...

That's what coaches do.

By repeatedly studying the videos of each game, identifying problems, eliminating those obviously wrong choices, and telling the players that these choices must never be made.

The rest is free play.

This is actually not free play in the complete sense, but there is no complete freedom in this world either. Everyone plays within a frame, and that's what the so-called "dancing with shackles" means.

A range must be drawn. Only in this way can effective control be achieved.

The video recording now is also the work to delineate the scope in the future.

※※※

When Lazio's offense was fully fought, Sampdoria really felt difficult to defend.

As a result, they conceded two goals in a row in the subsequent game and lost 0:3.

Of course, if it weren't for Lazio to waste a lot of offensive opportunities, for example because they played too messily. In the end, Lazio didn't know how to attack... The score of this game may be even higher.

But this game at least proved one thing to Lazio's coaching staff, that is, the new tactics proposed by Chang Sheng and Rudy Gonzalez are feasible and effective.

For Chang Sheng, this is a bigger gain than three points.

When the coaches of the two sides shook hands after the game, Del Neri asked: "I have a question, Chang. Did you deliberately arrange the situation after the second half?"

Chang Sheng quickly spread his hands and shook his head, looking very helpless: "This is not true. In fact, I am also very helpless... The players seem to be too excited..."

Del Neri shook his head: "Yeah, I can see that your own offense is also a bit messy...it's a pity..."

Then he shook his head and turned away.

"It's a pity, a pity" was still muttering in his mouth.

As for what he is regretting...

Chang Sheng could vaguely guess it.

That's why he told Del Neri the truth.

This is Lazio's ultimate weapon in the future. If you have a problem with your mind, you will take the initiative to disclose it to your opponent.

Even if he is proud of this tactic, he won't show it off everywhere.

Tactics are used to defeat the enemy and win, not to show off. (to be continued...)
