Chapter 200 Looking Ahead

( ) Before the game against CSKA Moscow, there are still four league rounds. M

According to Changsheng's customary strategy, these four league games must be done with all their strength.

The purpose is to put pressure on the second Inter Milan.

The more fierce Lazio's performance, the greater the pressure on the second-placed Inter Milan.

Because they will find that they can't catch up with Lazio at all, and the hopeless war will kill their fighting spirit.

They'll think no matter how hard we try, we can't win...

What's the point of such a competition?

Chang Sheng is to let Inter Milan have such an idea.

Once the quarter-finals of the Champions League started, he didn't have much time to tangle with opponents in the league.

A sufficiently large advantage must be established before then.

Or psychologically crush Inter before then!

If they can lead by 10 or 12 points, there will be six rounds before the end of the league. Basically, it can be said that Lazio's championship is a foregone conclusion.

※ ※ ※

In the twenty-ninth round, Lazio defeated Cagliari 2-0 away.

Inter Milan narrowly beat Palermo 1:0 away.

The two sides are still only eight points apart.

In the 30th round, Inter Milan beat Rivorno 3-0 at home.

Lazio beat Siena 2-0 at home.

Continue to only eight points.

In the thirty-first round, Lazio challenged Milan away.

And Inter Milan went away to challenge Rome.

This is a war between the two cities of Milan and Rome.

The final result was that Lazio beat Milan 1-0 away.

Inter Milan beat Roma 2:1 away.

But for Lazio, the price paid for this victory is a bit high.

Francisco Pavon was injured again in the game, this time he may miss the game for a month.

In addition, Belletti, who had just recovered from a two-month thigh muscle strain, started this game and played for only 13 minutes before being replaced due to a recurrence of the old injury.

In the later stage of the league, such a situation is always inevitable.

But this time. Chang Sheng is much more prepared.

He also won't be overwhelmed by the injuries of those two.

Francisco Pavon has been injured many times this season, although the time of each injury is not long, basically ranging from a week to a month and a half.

So this season his position has gradually changed from the main force to the rotation.

It was replaced by a maturing Chiellini.

Chiellini's partnership with Jose Passarella at centre-back has been excellent this season.

So far, Lazio has only conceded eleven goals in the league!

Such a small number of goals conceded is the best in Europe.

Among them, Jose Passarella, as the world's number one central defender, naturally contributed a lot.

But Chiellini's good performance is also one of the reasons.

Otherwise, it is impossible to rely on the strength of only one person.

Of course, it is also related to the team's tactics and the emphasis on the team's defense.

Belletti had very few opportunities to play this season. Because it's always hurting.

Under the premise of Changsheng's frequent use of rotation tactics this season, Belletti only played 12 games.

The main right back with strong assists last season has completely disappeared.

Chang Sheng knew that according to the original track of history, Belletti's injury wave came.

His body has been completely destroyed. From the beginning of this season until his retirement, he has not enjoyed a day of happy football.

Comeback, injury, comeback, injury again, this is the whole life of Belletti in the next few years.

In the end, he had no choice but to announce his retirement in June 2011. He was thirty-five at the time.

He kept two of his healthiest seasons to himself.

The injury in that game against Manchester United last season had a big impact on him.

On the second day of the match against Milan, Belletti called Chang Sheng.

Belletti revealed on the phone that he hopes to return to Brazil next season.

"European football is too competitive, boss. I want to go back to Brazil."

Chang Sheng knew that in that time and space, Belletti terminated his contract with Chelsea in July this year, and then returned to Brazil to join the Fluminense team.

But he wondered if he could change the fate of this person?

Anyway, I changed his Honor Roll...

Anyway, he lacked a video analyst, so he wanted Belletti to give it a try.

"Giuliano, do you want to stay. Be my coaching staff?"

Chang Sheng asked.

Belletti over there seemed to be thinking about it, but she didn't say anything anyway.

Chang Sheng didn't urge him either. Just waiting for his reply.

After about a minute or two, Belletti's voice rang on the other end of the phone.

"Thank you boss for your kindness, but I still prefer to go back to Brazil."

After hearing what he said, Chang Sheng was silent for a while. Judging by his tone, Belletti may still hope to play football for two more years when he returns to Brazil.

But actually...

Back in Brazil for a year. He suffered multiple injuries and only played nine games for Fluminense, starting three of them.

He was finally terminated by the club in June, and he himself subsequently announced his retirement.

In other words, Belletti's return to Brazil will not change his fate.

Instead, if you stay by your side, you can still be a member of a champion coaching staff team.

But Belletti appears to be holding his own.

And it was impossible for him to tell the truth to Belletti.

How could I tell him: "Don't go back. Anyway, you will definitely get injured if you go back... Then you will announce your retirement due to frequent injuries... So why are you bothering?"

I'm afraid that in the end, if this is the case, Belletti will still think that Chang Sheng is cursing him.

It is even more impossible for him to tell Belletti that because he is a time traveler, he knows what will happen in the future...

So Chang Sheng finally sighed and agreed to Belletti's application for termination of the contract.

At the end of this season, the Lazio club will terminate the contract with Belletti, and neither party will have to pay compensation.

The Lazio club let Belletti leave the team, and BlackRock will go back to China to continue his career.

Chang Sheng did not let anyone go last season. Before the end of this season, it has already been determined who is going to leave.

One more jerk. This time, Chang Sheng discovered that Belletti is now thirty-four years old...

At this age, his career has indeed come to an end.

To be honest, most of the players in Changsheng's team are very young, so Changsheng has not realized at all that there are players in his team who have come to the end of their careers.

Belletti's departure touched some of his parting feelings.

However, this did not affect Da Changsheng's previous pace.

Life is like sitting on a train bound for an unknown distance.

There will be many stations on the way, and the car will stop when entering these stations, and then someone will get on the car. Naturally, someone will get off the bus.

Every journey will have different people to accompany you, some people can only accompany you for one stop, some can accompany you for a few more stops, and only a very small number of people will accompany you to complete this long journey.

This is certainly sad.

But if you always miss those companions who got off the bus and are unwilling to go on, how can you meet more new friends and enrich your journey?

Moreover, the car will not stop, even if you get off halfway. The car doesn't stop, it just keeps going.

If you're in a car, you just have to accept that.

You may not remember the faces, voices and names of the people who got on the bus at first, because you will always accept new friends and see new scenery.

When you were in elementary school, you must have no idea how wonderful life in junior high school is. When you are drunk and crying with your college classmates when you graduate from college, you probably don't know that the friends you know in society will also touch your heartstrings.

people. Always look ahead.

Looking forward, Lazio defeated Naples 3:1 at home in the thirty-second round of the league.

They also sent the strongest lineup in this game.

Although Lazio does not have any main substitutes, the lineup still has to be divided into strengths and weaknesses.

The strongest team will play against Naples at home.

Lazio finally got their twenty-five consecutive victories of the season!

Of course. Inter Milan is also very strong.

They also beat Bologna 3-0 at home.

As a result, until the start of the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Lazio failed to widen the points gap as it wished.

In the end, the two sides were still eight points behind.

Chang Sheng had no choice but to widen the gap.

But always look ahead.

The quarter-finals of the Champions League are coming, and it is too short-sighted to still be entangled in how the league is doing.

※ ※ ※

Due to physical considerations, Changsheng did not take the whole team to Moscow this time.

It was too far there after all.

It's tiring to travel long distances.

So Chang Sheng knew that eighteen people were going to Moscow.

And most of the players in the strongest lineup did not go.

Even if there is a mistake in the away game. Lazio was also able to pull back at home.

CSKA Moscow's home stadium is the Luzhniki Stadium, which is no stranger to victories.

Lazio is no stranger either.

Because the first Champions League championship in Lazio's history was won here.

But this time the Luzhniki Stadium still made them feel a little strange.

The game is not very comfortable to play.

Because this time the Luzhniki Stadium uses artificial turf.

The Luzhniki Stadium was originally an artificial turf stadium. Because of Russia's special climate, the cost of using artificial turf is lower.

The last time was the Champions League final. UEFA requires that natural turf must be used, and the artificial turf that was temporarily laid at the Luzhniki Stadium turned out to be of poor quality and almost pitted Lazio.

Fortunately, Chang Sheng was prepared, otherwise, if the champion was lost because of the turf, it would be wronged...

The biggest difference between artificial turf and natural turf is that it is harder and has greater frictional damping. When running on it, the damage to the knee is greater, because the reaction force fed back to the knee is greater.

The speed and trajectory of football rolling on artificial turf and natural turf are also different.

Players who are used to playing on natural turf are not used to playing on artificial turf.

Although there is training to adapt to the field before the game, it is still not so easy to adapt. (To be continued..)
