Chapter 377 They Need to Relax (Seventy-Two/One Hundred and Thirty-Four)
Lazio played unhurriedly, but it doesn't mean that their offense is no threat. M
Parma feels this deeply.
They didn't dare to relax at all in defense.
Every pass from Lazio seemed to tear open their defence.
Parma cannot hold on to such a defense for long.
Sure enough, at the end of the first half, Lazio scored another goal, this time the goal was made by Ballack.
The German midfielder fired his signature long-range shot from outside the penalty area, but Pavarini was unable to save the thundering shot.
The football hit the net, not only setting off the net, but also setting off thunderous cheers from the Lazio fans in the stands.
As soon as this goal was scored, the hearts of Lazio fans fell completely.
Even the commentators began to talk endlessly to the audience about the achievements created by Lazio.
"Barack! Lazio fans now have peace of mind! They will definitely win this game! Yes, they will definitely win! No one can stop them from winning the championship!"
"It's amazing. Although there is about half a game left before the end of the game, Lazio has already secured the victory. They will definitely win the championship six rounds in advance! What an amazing achievement! Winning the championship six rounds in advance! And this is theirs Sixth consecutive Scudetto! They have surpassed the all-time greats Torino and Juventus - they are now greater than great!"
"Six consecutive league titles, if that's all, then Lyon is better than them in the five major leagues. But while winning six consecutive league titles, they have also won six consecutive Italian Super League titles in the past six years. Cup champion, a UEFA Cup champion and two Champions League champions, in addition to three European Super Cups... these honors are enough to show what a terrifying team this is!”
"...Victory and championship! Lazio did it! They have not lost a game this season, nor have they tied a game! They have played thirty-two rounds of the league and won them all! The terrifying Lazio! It also makes Desperate Lazio!”
…
Commentators from all over the world spoke of Lazio's strength in their own languages.

And after Ballack scored,
Chang Sheng also stood up from his seat. This time he did not applaud. He raised his fists, his expression became much more relaxed, and a smile broke out on his face.
He has definitely won this league championship.
After Ballack scored. Not long after, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
A commentator complained: "I think the referee can directly blow the whistle to end the game... The second half of this game has no meaning anymore. It is better to let the championship celebration start early. We can listen to Avril Lavigne." new songs. It is said that these songs were written when she was pregnant and raising children..."
But the reality is that it is impossible for him to get what he wants.
During halftime. The Lazio players were very excited.
Except that they didn't drink wine to celebrate, they were no different from when they celebrated winning the championship.
Di Matteo was worried that the players would get too carried away and lose the game in the second half.
He quietly asked Chang Sheng: "Aren't you going to stop them?"
"Why should I?" Chang Sheng looked at his players with a smile.
In Di Matteo's opinion, this is just like a parent pampering his child...
"They might lose their guard in the second half and relax too much and lose the game... After all, we are only leading by two goals, but to be honest. You always say that a one-goal lead is not safe. In my opinion, a two-goal lead is not safe." It’s not safe…”
Chang Sheng withdrew his gaze and nodded. Then he said to Di Matteo: "You are right, Roberto. A two-goal lead is indeed not safe. However, the situation is different. The situation you are talking about is something that other ordinary teams need to consider, not what Lazio has to consider. "
He turned and looked at DiMatteo.
"Our players have worked hard for this championship for thirty-two rounds. Every minute of every game, their nerves are tense. They have not had the slightest rest. It can be said that they work so hard just for this championship. Otherwise, why can we win consecutive championships? But people are not machines, and their nerves cannot be tense forever. They must rest."
Chang Sheng used his mouth to nudge the players.
"Now, it's their chance to rest and relax. This is the chance they deserve after working hard all season. So I won't stop them. At this time, it's better to rest and relax and vent their emotions than to tell them with a straight face that there is still half a pizza to play." , the effect will be much better.”
Di Matteo thinks there is some truth to the idea of winning, but he is still worried about players being proud and underestimating their opponents.
After all, Lazio is too strong, so it is normal for the players to have such thoughts.
But once they have such an idea, and Parma has other ideas, then this game may eventually turn into a tragedy.
The club has prepared too many things for this game. If we lose the game in the end... I'm afraid many people won't be able to bear it, right?
Seeing that his expression was still hesitant, Chang Sheng added, "Don't worry, I think these players have their own sense of proportion. They also know what kind of game this is and what will happen to them if they lose this game. They know it too. If that’s the case, there’s nothing to worry about.”
At the end of the field, he spread his hands and shrugged.
Seeing that he was so sure, Di Matteo naturally had no choice but to shut up.
Even if there is a problem, there is no problem now.
However, although the constant victory allowed the players to celebrate wantonly, they did not allow any coach to come off the field to have fun with the players.
Every coach was standing against the wall, watching these players messing around. Everyone except Di Matteo had a smile on their face.
Chang Sheng doesn’t really care about anything.
He also knew that there were forty-five minutes left in the game, not the end.
So he used this kind of defense to secretly remind the players that it's not time to really start celebrating yet.
This kind of hint is much more subtle and humane than asking the coach to enter the field and forcibly interrupt the celebration and tell them with a straight face that there are still forty-five minutes. Didn't ruin the atmosphere.
But it can also make the players feel what the coaching staff means.
So the players made a fuss for ten minutes before Chang Sheng walked into the middle of the locker room.
Before he even spoke, everyone knew what he meant.
Everyone goes quiet.
They all looked at the boss consciously.
Chang Sheng smiled at them and waved: "This is a festival for Lazio fans, guys. In the second half, we want everyone to feel more of a festival atmosphere."
Those were the only words he said to the Lazio players before the start of the second half.
He did not analyze tactics, nor did he tell him the disadvantages of underestimating the enemy.
That's what he said.
But everyone knew what they had to do.
※ ※ ※
During the halftime break, news circulated on the Internet that Lazio players were celebrating the championship crazily in the locker room.
Reporters also learned about the news through the Internet.
Some of them went to Lazio's locker room to eavesdrop.
They cannot get too close. Lazio Club has dedicated people guarding the door of the locker room, responsible for intercepting reporters or fans.
The dressing room for Lazio. It is a very sacred place and not everyone can get close to it. Ten meters away from the door of the locker room, a warning sign was posted that read "Keep out of sight."
This shows how seriously the Lazio club attaches importance to the confidentiality of the locker room.
But without getting too close, reporters could already hear the cheers of Lazio players.
Such a voice confirmed the rumors on the Internet.
Lazio certainly looked like they were celebrating in the dressing room.
They clearly felt the game was over. He is sure to win this championship!
Even if Parma chased two goals in the second half and tied them, they would still be the league champion.
Unless they lose the game.
But can Parma beat Lazio from the second half?
Many reporters find it unlikely.
But when they heard such unbridled cheers, they suddenly wanted Lazio to lose the game.
Consider it the best lesson for such a team that doesn't know how to respect its opponents.
If Lazio really underestimated their opponent in the second half, then their condition would definitely not be good.
The question now is how will Parma react?
Did Parma know their opponents were celebrating at half-time?
This is a humiliation for them!
If Parma knew, they would be irritated by the arrogant Lazio players.
Then they will fight back in the second half...
As for Lazio, they underestimated their enemies because of their pride. There was a lack of preparation for the difficulty of the game in the second half. After they started playing, they discovered that their opponents were very fierce.
They wanted to regain the advantage right away, but the result of relaxing too much was that they couldn't tighten up. Once Parma was able to recover a ball. Lazio will be in panic.
At the same time, under the pressure of winning this game, their performance will be abnormal and their movements will be out of shape...
This will form a vicious cycle.
The more you want to win, the less likely you are to win.
When Parma sees Lazio's performance, they will become more confident as they play.
When the time comes...
Such an analysis. Everyone suddenly felt that the scene they hoped to see was not impossible to achieve.
But first, Parma had to know that their rivals had already celebrated their victory in advance. Didn't take them seriously at all.
Do they know?
The reporters don’t know this right now.
But once the game starts, I believe they will know - look at Parma's performance, if they can't defend like they did in the first half, it will definitely be out of luck.
Reporters wanted to see Parma, which has always been lively, in the second half.
So will Parma let them get their wish?
