Chapter 301 We Are the Winners

Ever-victorious Lazio sloshed through the game, slowing the pace of the game when the football landed at their feet.

This made the players and fans of the Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur very uncomfortable.

The overall pace of the Premier League is very fast, and they are used to this fast pace.

But when they encountered an Italian team like Lazio, their rhythm couldn't get up fast. It felt like a person was stuck in a quagmire and couldn't move an inch.

The experience of this game is really terrible.

Tottenham fans not only have to worry about the fate of Tottenham, but also think this game is boring.

There were even Tottenham fans who couldn't help but yawn when Lazio had the ball...

But if someone thinks that Lazio's play is mainly for defense and does not threaten Tottenham's goal, then it is a big mistake.

This slow pace makes it easy to let your guard down.

But in Lazio's slow back and forth, they pushed the football a little bit to the front of Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area.

Then, when Tottenham Hotspur's defensive attention was not very focused, they suddenly accelerated! That is faster than the Premier League!

Tottenham Hotspur were obviously stunned by this sudden change of rhythm. They only reacted when Tottenham Hotspur sent the football to the goal!

But it was too late. When Cavani followed up in the middle, there was no Tottenham Hotspur defender around him. He could take the ball calmly and the football was thrown by Gomez. But still got into the nest!

"Cavani! Cavani! Cavani——!! Lazio leads Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 away!"

The Italian narrator exclaimed excitedly.

The relaxed Lazio fans in the stands jumped up collectively when the goal was born, raising their arms and shouting. Proves that they still have passion.

Dong Qiudi was also among these people.

This sudden change in rhythm fascinated him.

The previous series of slow-paced back and forth passes were just to confuse the opponent.

So Tottenham Hotspur were really fooled. When they got used to Lazio's slow pace, Lazio suddenly sped up the pace and speed, and caught Tottenham Hotspur by surprise!

This change of rhythm can make the opponent play with applause...

※ ※ ※

Lazio took the lead by one goal before the end of the first half, which allowed Tottenham Hotspur to press out and attack. This is Tottenham Hotspur's home game, if they lose the game at home. That's completely different from losing a game away from home.

Redknapp is also well aware of the difference between home and away.

So his team has to attack.

In this way, Lazio can comfortably play defensive counterattacks.

Using their excellent defensive ability to hold Tottenham Hotspur's offense, and then counterattack when the time is right, can just give full play to their fast advantage.

This is a headache for Tottenham Hotspur.

The final stage of the first half. Basically, Lazio has more threatening offenses than Tottenham Hotspur, because Lazio's counterattack is in place.

"Tottenham Hotspur is finished." A commentator said so. "Let Lazio advance the goal, Tottenham Hotspur will be very, very difficult to play this game, the game has entered the 'Lazio rhythm'!"

The so-called "Lazio rhythm" is a special term given to this phenomenon by the media, which refers to the game after Lazio takes the lead in the game, that is "Lazio rhythm". Because Lazio is good at playing this kind of downwind ball, once they take the lead. Then the opponent has very few choices, and Lazio can easily defend against it-if the opponent still wants to win, they must attack, as long as they attack. Lazio can play defensive counterattack. With Lazio's control, they are simply too suitable for defensive counterattack...

There was not much suspense in the second half of the game. Lazio firmly grasped the advantage on the field in the away game, and the game was always under their control.

Before the game, Giroud, who was hyped by the media for the first battle with his old club, was also under the defense of Jose Passarella and Chiellini. Being frozen, there is basically nothing to say about the performance.

Van der Vaart was replaced in the 60th minute. Because he contributed basically nothing to Tottenham's attack on the pitch.

Bale and Lennon had a lot of opportunities to get the ball on the wing, but there was no space for them, so what if they had the ball at their feet? Both of them need space, and they're not the type to duck into tight spaces.

Lazio scored another goal in the second half, and then completely entered the defensive rhythm.

Keep the football firmly under your feet and kill time by passing the ball back and forth.

Such a style of play will naturally lead to boos from the Tottenham fans in the stands, because Lazio's style of play is too passive and unsightly.

Chang Sheng doesn't care.

Leading 2:0 and playing against Tottenham Hotspur, playing open football, he is crazy to do this.

In the end, the referee whistled and Lazio defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 away!

At the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng smiled a winner to the reporters below.

"Sorry to disappoint you, we won again."

he said.

After hearing what he said, the reporters wanted to beat him up... This is so cheap!

"But this is not Lazio's traditional tactical style..." Some reporters were not convinced.

Chang Sheng asked him back: "May I ask if we won?"

"Such a victory does not have enough gold content..."

"Don't talk nonsense, just say whether Lazio won or not." Chang Sheng was aggressive.

The reporter stood there, tongue-tied, answering no, not answering no.

"But such a victory is not worth showing off..." An old reporter stood up to speak for his colleagues.

Chang Sheng sneered and said: "I'm not showing off, I'm just stating a fact, that is... me!" Chang Sheng pointed to himself with his thumb, "It's the winner! It's that simple, whether you admit it or not, I'm all winners. I can get three points. I can qualify early and you guys can watch. No matter what criticism you put out in your own media, it won't change the fact. It's just... sad .”

Chang Sheng finally shrugged and shook his head with regret.

A group of reporters left him choking.

Because what they said was indeed reasonable, anyway, he was the winner. Whether you like him or not, admit him or not, he is a winner, and this is independent of their will.

This is probably the most frustrating fact in the world for them.

After the game that night. Lazio flew back to Italy overnight, and there was a Rome Derby on the weekend. Although there was no suspense in this game, Chang Sheng still had to prepare for the game with all his strength. He would never accept that his pride and underestimation of the enemy affected the team. As a result, things like the team losing this city derby happened.

The Lazio players who won the ball in the away game looked very happy. Although it was late, the Lazio players on the plane were still very excited.

They gathered together in small groups to chat.

But the coaching staff did not enjoy the joy of victory.

Everyone, including Dong Qiudi, is already preparing for the weekend's match against Rome.

The task Chang Sheng assigned to Dong Qiudi was to watch the video of Rome's game, find out their strengths and weaknesses, and pay more attention to their recent state curve.

Then form a report.

This time it was not a test, Chang Sheng not only asked for a task. A completion time is also required.

Because the team must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible.

It is impossible to wait until the day before the game to tell the players what the game is going to do.

Chang Sheng arranged a day for Dong Qiudi, which was really tight, but there was no other way, it had to be done.

But Chang Sheng was surprised by Dong Qiudi's performance.

Just after he assigned the task. Dong Qiudi has already given the answer.

"It doesn't take a day. If it's the latest match in Rome, I'll watch it all."

Chang Sheng opened his eyes wide, looking at him in disbelief.

"Have you watched all the games in Rome?"

"Yeah. Uh, I like to watch games. I will pay attention to the games of rivals in the same city, and even more... After all, they are our enemies. I want to know more about them..." Dong Qiudi was a little embarrassed.

"Oh? Then tell me?"

"In the first four rounds of the league, Roma performed very badly. They didn't win a game in four games. They drew two games and lost two games. In the first round they were tied at home by Cesena. In the second round They even lost 1:5 away to Cagliari. In the third round, they were tied 2:2 at home by Bologna. In the fourth round, they lost 1:2 away to Brescia. Until the fifth round, they were 1:0 at home. After defeating Inter Milan, they had their first victory...but then they lost 0:2 away to Naples...but overall, I think their state is recovering, and then they won at home Genoa and Lecce, away draw with Parma - at least not losing..."

As soon as he mentioned this, Dong Qiudi started to chatter as if he had opened the spigot.

"Six of their team scored, but Juan scored an own goal, Borriello was their current top scorer with three goals. Vucinic was second with two goals and they The strikers are basically these two people who started the game. In addition, in the Champions League, Borriello also scored two goals..."

"They had three red cards in the first nine league rounds, which shows that their discipline is not good... In the last game against Lecce, Totti got a red card, so against us, he will not play. , this will reduce Roma's offensive threat...but De Rossi is the core of their midfield, we should pay attention to prevention..."

The more Chang Sheng listened to this, the wider his mouth opened.

Others couldn't hear Dong Qiudi's Chinese, but they could guess some from Chang Sheng's expression.

Obviously, this kid frightened Chang Sheng...

ps: Today is the ninth change, and there is one more change left!
