Chapter 323 Going to Abu Dhabi (54/134)

Although Werder Bremen ranked third in the Bundesliga last season, they are indeed the weakest in this group. They have not won a game so far. Even if they are at home, it will be very difficult to win against Lazio. of.

Werder Bremen probably didn't think about winning...

So this pizza is not the point.

The media didn't pay attention to the game either.

In terms of televised broadcasts, the game broadcast to the whole world is not this one, but Tottenham Hotspur's away game against Twente.

In this game, Changsheng once again carried out a lineup rotation, and played exactly the same lineup as at home against Twente.

The way the team played was exactly the same as that game.

But the slowing down this time is not to consume the opponent's physical energy, but purely to control the ball.

Under the control of Lazio's passing and cutting, Werder Bremen has nothing to do.

They followed Lazio's pass at first.

Later, when they found that this was meaningless and couldn't help them grab the ball, they chose to recover the defense-no matter how Lazio passed or ran, they all stuck to their penalty area.

Of course, this kind of game is not good-looking, and Lazio's slow pace of play is even more drowsy.

Fans who tuned in to this pizza game in the wee hours of the morning were bound to be disappointed.

However, Chang Sheng never decides which tactics to adopt in order to please the fans. His tactics will only serve the victory, and he only considers it from a strategic point of view.

What Lazio needs now is to rest and adjust their state, because in the next time, they will go to the Middle East to participate in two games and travel long distances, which will be a test for the team's physical fitness.

Naturally, it is impossible for them to use up all their physical strength in such an insignificant game in order to please the audience.

The game against Werder Bremen was uneventful.

In the end, Lazio beat Werder Bremen 1-0 with a direct free kick.

In this way, they won six games and six games, and finally accumulated eighteen points.

And in another field. The game was very intense. Only 12 minutes into the game, Twente scored an own goal, leading Tottenham Hotspur to a 1-0 lead.

But ten minutes later, Tottenham fouled in the penalty area and was sentenced to death by the referee. Twente scored a penalty kick. The score was tied at 1:1.

The score was 1:1 in the first half.

Defoe gave Tottenham the lead just two minutes into the second half.

Fifty-fifth minute. Twente equalized again.

Four minutes later, in the fifty-ninth minute, Defoe scored twice and Tottenham took the lead three times, 3:2!

After five points, the tenacious Twente equalized for the third time!

But when it comes to this game,

It has basically lost its meaning.

Even if Twente can win Tottenham Hotspur, it is impossible to beat Tottenham Hotspur by more than three goals, but all three goals will still be eliminated, because Tottenham Hotspur's away goals More than Winter!

Now, the total score is Tottenham leading 7:4. There are also three away goals, while Twente have only one away goal.

When both teams have the same win-loss relationship, it's time to compare away goals.

Tottenham beat Twente.

Therefore, Twente must score four goals in the next game. In this way, when the relationship between the two sides is the same, first compare the total scores of each other. Then Twente can win with a total score of 8:7. One way past Tottenham Hotspur. Otherwise you'd have to compare away goals...

But now it is difficult for Twente to score four goals in a row in more than 20 minutes after birth. Such a possibility does not exist.

So in fact Tottenham Hotspur has won the right to qualify. And Twente will go to the Europa League.

This reality also made Twente a little discouraged, and then their offensive rhythm slowed down, and neither side was able to score.

The game ended with a score of 3:3. Tottenham Hotspur won the second place in the group with eight points and got the right to qualify, while Twente went to the Europa League with five points. Werder Bremen are at the bottom with two points.

Finished the Werder Bremen game. Lazio did not spend the night in Bremen. They boarded the plane directly to Abu Dhabi, UAE, where they were preparing for the Club World Cup.

This is their last championship of the year.

Before that, they had already won five championships, and they were short of the last one, which was the Club World Cup.

Although Lazio is very strong, it is still difficult to say about games like the Club World Cup.

Because the Club World Cup is completely an encounter.

The opponents you will meet are completely unknown to you.

And the tactics that work in Europe may not work when facing South American teams.

European teams put more emphasis on tactics. South American teams put more emphasis on the performance of individual players.

If you run into a player who explodes, maybe your great advantage will be ruined.

Perhaps the most famous is the 2006 Club World Cup.

When Rijkaard led Barcelona to Tokyo, Japan, the whole world was optimistic that they could win the Club World Cup.

In their team, they also think so. Everyone thinks that going to Japan is to fulfill the awarding procedures, but they don't fully consider the difficulty of the competition.

In the end, the powerful Dream Team 2 lost 0:1 to the Brazil International Team in Tokyo and lost the Data Cup championship.

The more you feel that you can definitely win, the more likely you are to lose the game.

So in this competition, it cannot be said that Lazio will definitely win the championship.

The team still takes it very seriously.

Especially Chang Sheng, on the plane from Bremen to Abu Dhabi, he kept reminding his players not to lose the game because of pride.

In fact, Chang Sheng is very clear that this year's Club World Cup is not a duel between South American teams and European teams.

The team that finally reached the final was not the champion of the Copa Libertadores, but the Bulldozers team from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

There is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, so to say that the Bulldozers can threaten Lazio, the chances are very low.

As long as Lazio plays normally, this championship is theirs.

But he couldn't say it, which would make people wonder why he was so prophetic.

He also can't project any optimism, and the players will think they can relax and underestimate the enemy for granted.

Lazio received a very warm welcome in Abu Dhabi, where they were greeted by 300 fans at the airport.

And these more than 300 fans are not Lazio fans who followed from Italy, but local Lazio fans in Abu Dhabi!

Lotito, who came with the team, saw so many UAE fans wearing traditional Arab costumes, waving Lazio flags and scarves. His face was almost smashed with laughter.

This speaks volumes about how influential the Lazio club is worldwide...

It was not easy to see Lazio fans in the Middle East, let alone so many Lazio fans gathered together...

This means that as Lazio's performance is getting better and better, the influence of the Lazio club is also growing.

Lotito is even fantasizing about imitating Real Madrid, seeking partners in the Middle East, building Lazio theme parks, Lazio theme hotels... and earning petrodollars from those Middle Eastern champions in this rich place in the Middle East.

But Lotito also remained sane. He also knows that the reason why Lazio is able to have today is inseparable from their ability to continue to win championships on all fronts and in various competitions.

And where does the champion come from?

Naturally, it was brought by Chang Sheng.

So if you want to let Lazio continue to make money. If he continues to expand his influence, he must continue to treat Chang Sheng better, and continue to follow Chang Sheng's lead

Although some Italian media ridiculed Lotito as the most insignificant club president in Serie A, Lotito didn't take it seriously, and he was even complacent about it: "An excellent club president only needs to pay the head coach. , He doesn’t need to come out to find a sense of presence at other times.”

This is a bit pretentious.

But everyone had to admit that he was right.

Because the team's results are there.

Lotito does not seem to be the president of the most prominent club in Italy, he just needs to keep his head and make money.

As long as the results are good, the club will make money. He was happier than anything else.

A greedy person is so simple...

So he has no psychological pressure to do things like holding Changsheng's thigh.

Even though Chang Sheng is ahead of him and is much more popular than him, the media only interview Chang Sheng, and the fans are also chanting Chang Sheng's name. .

In fact, Chang Sheng's coaching performance, the happier he is. In addition to money, at least it also explained his own vision.

At the beginning, Chang Sheng was dug out by himself persistently.

When Chang Sheng was in Valencia, Lotito pursued him. As a result, Lazio was just a poor boy at that time, so Chang Sheng didn't like him.

But Lotito was not discouraged. When Chang Sheng was still in Rome, the media spread all kinds of negative news about him, but Lotito did not dissuade him. Instead, he continued to contact Chang Sheng, hoping that Chang Sheng would consider coming to Lazio.

The main reason he likes Chang Sheng is that Chang Sheng doesn't spend too much money. He always uses very little money to do big things, and doesn't invest much in the transfer market. But the team is doing well.

This is one.

Second, he values ​​Chang Sheng's ability to make money. The players he bought at a low price can be sold at a high price in the end.

This is simply too important for the Lazio club, which has no money and needs to repay debts.

So Chang Sheng is like a tailor-made head coach for Lazio, who should be born to coach Lazio.

Now Lazio's results fully prove their vision.

In future history, while praising Chang Sheng, it is also necessary to mention himself, saying that he has the eyes to recognize talents. After all, there are always horses, but Bole does not often have them, and he is the rare Bole.

Choosing Changsheng is one of the most proud choices in my life. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
