Chapter 376 Everything Is Normal
Although this game is a very important game for Lazio, everyone knows it. m
But Chang Sheng still didn't give any special instructions before the game.
He didn't even talk about how important this game was to boost morale.
He just told the players who were about to take the field: "You all know what I want."
Yes, everyone knows that what the boss wants is-victory!
So Lazio must win this game!
※ ※ ※
After the game started, Parma did not attack and directly reduced its defense.
They know they can't be Lazio's opponents, but they hope to lose fewer goals.
Although Lazio always has to be a foil, there are many ways to foil it. The results of losing a few fewer goals and losing a few more goals are completely different.
Parma didn't want to be the main dish at Lazio's celebration... he was stabbed several times and then lay on the table for everyone to taste.
This is not about winning or losing, but about dignity.
After all, Parma was once one of the seven sisters in Serie A, but now it has fallen and still has dignity.
It would be good if we could only lose to Lazio by one goal.
But will Lazio get their wish?
Although Chang Sheng said nothing, the Lazio players knew exactly what kind of game this was.
This is a game related to whether Lazio can win the championship six rounds in advance!
There will be a grand championship celebration after the game!
This is Lazio's festival. In this festival, everyone hopes to give their best performance, add luster to the festival, and at the same time leave a deep impression on everyone.
Being able to score a goal in this game is something that celebrities can do for eternity!
So the game begins. Lazio's players are very excited.
Everyone strives to be first.
The opportunity will never be wasted.
This put tremendous pressure on Parma.
Fortunately, Parma was mentally prepared.
After the last round of the league, Parma knew exactly what they would encounter on the road.
So they made full preparations and emphasized defense under various extreme conditions in training.
Parma adopted a defensive formation in this game.
They parked more than one bus at their goal.
※ ※ ※
Parma's tenacious success helped them not concede a goal in the first twenty-five minutes.
Lazio was a little impatient when they couldn't score a goal at first - everyone was waiting to celebrate in this game. If they couldn't score a goal for a long time, it would be unappetizing...
But soon Chang Sheng stood on the sidelines and signaled everyone to calm down.
His advice had an effect.
The players reacted - in terms of strength, they are definitely better than Parma. The key is mentality. Just keep your mind calm. It was only a matter of time before a goal was scored. They are used to encountering various defenders in the game.
Some media once joked that Lazio was not playing against other teams, but fighting against the buses of these teams.
It can be seen how common it is for Lazio to stick to the defensive tactics.
So the key lies in your own mentality. If you can't stay calm, you won't be able to show your best skills and tactics.
※ ※ ※
soon. The entire Lazio team calmed down.
They suddenly weren't in a hurry to shoot.
They continued to pass horizontally outside Parma's defense zone. While passing horizontally, they frequently tried to pass forward.
This is a cross pass that is characteristic of Lazio.
This cross pass creates a lot of trouble for the opponent.
Parma's defense is always in a state of high tension.
Finally, at the thirty-minute mark, something went wrong with their originally airtight defense...
A through ball from Lazio was missed by Parma's defender!
Veteran Rocky quickly stepped in and received the ball behind the backline.
Then he faced Parma's goalkeeper Nicola Pavarini one-on-one!
"Rocky! Good opportunity for Lazio!"
The commentator suddenly shouted loudly.
Lazio fans, who had been waiting for half an hour, also gave a huge cheer in the stands.
amid cheers. Rocchi was very calm in the face of the attacking Parma goalkeeper Pavarini.
The cheers from the stands did not shake his heart in the slightest.
He didn't shoot hard, even though his movements looked like he was going to do so.
But when his foot came down, he rubbed the football. spoon!
The football passed over Pavarini who was lying on the ground. His vigorous shot just now was a fake move, which deceived Pavarini!
Pavarini was lying on the ground, turning his head and looking desperately at the football flying towards the goal behind him...
※ ※ ※
"The ball...goes in--!!!!" the commentator Fabio Caressa raised his arms and shouted.
Like him there are 80,000 Lazio fans. They jumped out of their seats immediately, pumping their fists and cheering for Lazio's goal.
"Lazio rhythm -!" they were chanting.
After Lazio took the lead. This game is much easier to play.
Everyone is convinced that the victory of this game belongs to them.
Before that, although he had confidence in Enya, his confidence was not as strong as it is now.
The ball is round after all. If the players are too focused on winning and don't perform well, it's not impossible that something unexpected will happen.
Now, as long as Lazio scores first, there will be no problem.
※ ※ ※
"Tommaso Rocchi! Lazio's old captain. After Cavani was injured, he and Klose, two veterans, took on the responsibility of scoring goals for Lazio! In such an important game, it's perfect for this dedicated and diligent veteran to score the first goal!"
"Rocchi's goal was very beautiful. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Pavarini, he made a calm lob shot! This ball fully demonstrated the psychological quality of this veteran. Before he was about to make history, he still kept a calm side. It was really not easy!"
Rocchi was excited after scoring the goal. He bypassed the goal directly, jumped over the billboard behind the goal, and without stopping, ran straight through the area and came to the bottom of the north stand, interacting passionately with the fans there!
After Changsheng cleared out the "unteachable faction", the north stand of the Olympic Stadium is still the place where the most die-hard fans gather, but they are much more honest than the "unteachable faction".
They will not tear down the seats on the stands and throw them on the runway. They will not set the stands on fire. They will not clash with riot police. Except that they shout louder, sing more purposefully and are more disciplined, they are really no different from ordinary fans.
There are actually extreme fans here, or former extreme fans.
But they are not "unteachable faction".
After witnessing the fate of the "unteachable faction" and Lazio Club. They were all scared.
They abandoned the name of "extreme fan gang" which usually looks cool and domineering, and returned to the essence of fans, that is, to support Lazio, but to support it by smashing the stands with songs and shouts, instead of tearing down seats and fighting.
This makes the terrifying home atmosphere of Lazio even stronger and purer.
The fans in the north stand saw Rocchi and they began to sing Rocchi's song.
This is the best interaction between fans and players.
Instead of the previous situation. After Lazio's players scored, they ran to the extreme fans in the north stand and saluted the Nazi salute!
※ ※ ※
Rocchi's goal relieved many people who were worried that Lazio would perform poorly because of being too nervous.
Lazio's performance was normal, and this game was no different from other games he had won before.
It seems that a victory can be expected.
After Rocchi scored, Lazio fans in the stands couldn't wait to celebrate.
The stands became a singing contest.
One after another, Lazio fans kept singing the songs dedicated to Lazio players.
Of course. There are also songs written for Changsheng.
Lazio fans specially wrote a song "Victory Song" to praise Changsheng.
Obviously they also understood the meaning of Changsheng's name.
Lazio fans sang and celebrated so recklessly, totally ignoring the Parma fans.
But they did have a reason to do so. Five hundred Parma fans were now gathered in a corner of the stands, and no one paid any attention to them.
And these five hundred Parma fans also sat in their chairs obediently. Watching the game very quietly.
They didn't dare to make any sound at all.
Five hundred people facing seventy-five thousand people, the pressure was quite high.
It was good enough that they didn't run away. It was a pipe dream for them to compete with Lazio fans.
Parma fans fell into silence, and Parma players were also quiet.
Facing a goal loss, they didn't show any fighting spirit and morale to equalize the score.
In fact, if they could choose Ze, they didn't want to participate in this game at all.
So they looked very negative on the court.
And no one blamed them.
Put yourself in Parma's position, and everyone would do the same.
When the opponent is too strong, what's the point of such a game?
※ ※ ※
Although Parma had no intention of counterattacking to equalize the score, they were still very tenacious in defense.
Lazio was still not in a hurry in the face of such tenacious defense.
Just like before they scored the first goal, they passed the ball back and forth, just like a wolf pacing back and forth outside a flock of sheep.
This mental pressure is stronger than physical fatigue.
Changsheng was not in a hurry either. He just sat in the coaching seat and watched, crossing his legs, looking very leisurely.
He no longer needed to yell on the sidelines like other head coaches to remind players what to do.
These players have played with him for several years and know his habits.
Everyone has a tacit understanding with each other.
So Changsheng only needs to watch from the sidelines.
Unless there is a problem that the players can't solve themselves, he will stand up.
But what accidents can happen in a game with a team like Parma?
