Chapter 396 The Difference Between Mortals and Heroes

Mortals will never understand the greatness of heroes, because when they encounter difficulties, the first thing they think of is "It's so troublesome... so difficult... forget it... why bother? There's no need... give up, anyway, I've already Well done..."

What the hero thinks is, "We are still just a little bit close to success... just hold on a little longer... and never give up..."

So mortals often don't have a hard life and they can enjoy life. m

But there are many mortals, so why do everyone worship heroes? Because a hero can do what others cannot, he transcends himself. His greatness lies not in the achievements he created, but in the qualities he displayed in the process of creating them.

There are so few heroes. Heroes are not made by humans...

For Lazio, who has always won, they are also at the junction of ordinary and great.

Taking a step back, they can live a relaxed but relatively ordinary life.

Taking a step forward requires more cost and effort, and may not yet lead to success. But if they succeed, they can become the one and only one, and the whole world will praise them. After a few years, they will be regarded as a benchmark and stand there to accept people's worship and admiration.

One step forward or one step back?

Lazio chose the latter.

After the game against Manchester United, on the first day of resumption of training, the training content that Lazio players saw was for Juventus, not Manchester United.

This shows that if you want to advance to the Champions League and win the league, the boss also wants it!

Before the training started, Chang Sheng gathered all the players together. This was a routine speech before training, not that Chang Sheng did it specifically for this game.

However, the speech before the first training session after each game will indeed be related to the subsequent game.

"We only won one goal in the first round of the semi-finals, which became the focus of discussion in the media after the game. Many people were not optimistic about us. Of course, I understand them, because in the eyes of mortals like them In the first round, if Lazio fails to win by a big score at home, this seems to be a common practice that most people default to. But unfortunately, I don’t believe it. that."

Chang Sheng spread his hands and said to the players.

"These people swear so much,

Another big reason is that after they analyzed the schedule, they felt that the schedule was very unfavorable to us... We have to face Juventus on the weekend, and then go to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United in the middle of next week... so to speak Come. Having encountered two strong enemies in a row, our schedule is indeed not good. So they analyzed, we either give up the league or give up the Champions League semi-finals... You see, guys. This is what mortals think. They are all single-threaded creatures, either A or B, absolutely no AB. Who stipulates that we can only choose one? Why can't we choose both? So, this time, we have to teach mortals a lesson! We can show them why they can only be mortals. And we are the only Lazio in the world! "

"Not only do I have to knock out Manchester United and reach the Champions League semi-finals, but I also have to beat Juventus! Is it difficult? Not at all! Not at all! They may feel that our physical fitness will be greatly affected, after all, the season is already over. It’s the end, but tell me, are you tired?”

He was answered by the players shouting in unison: "Not tired!!"

Chang Sheng nodded: "Yes, we are not tired! We are really not tired! We have been rotating since the first round of the league. Everyone has double-digit appearances in the season. Some teams have a set of main lineups. Play for a season. Of course they will feel tired at this point, but we will not. There is no such thing as a main player and a substitute. I can tell you now that we are playing against Juventus and Manchester United. I won’t field the same lineup in two games, but no matter who I choose to play in any game, it means I believe you can win!”

"Don't think that the Champions League is more important, the league is equally important, because what we want to accomplish is something that no one has ever done! What a proud thing it is to end the league this season with a complete victory! "

Chang Sheng looked at his players.

"Every one of you is an integral part of this team, and every one of you is very important. Can I trust you for the next week? Answer me, guys!"

"Can——!! 1"

What responded to him was the uniform shout of the Lazio players.

"Very good! I know I can trust you!" Chang Sheng finally said. "To maintain a complete victory in the league and at the same time become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League after the reform... I know it is difficult. Of course it is difficult, otherwise you will never have a team that has never done it. But...it is precisely because it is difficult that we have to work hard. If it is easy to win the game, will you go all out?"

"There are two roads ahead, guys. One is a broad, flat, straight road. But this road leads to boring success. The other is hidden in the jungle, this road is winding, full of thorns, full of many unknown dangers, and it can't even be called a 'road'. But this road leads to an exciting and beautiful scenery. We are destined not to be people who walk comfortably on the main road. We should take this thorny road. Choosing this road means choosing greatness - either die on the road or become a legend! But don't worry, follow me, you won't die halfway, all of you will become legends!"

Changsheng made such a promise to everyone.

His players also believed in his promise.

So the players, with the great dream of "becoming a legend", fought hard with the future opponents Juventus and Manchester United in the next training...

※ ※ ※

The game with Juventus is coming soon.

During this period, the media hyped this game a lot. They linked this game with Lazio's Champions League semi-final next week and gave it a shocking title.

Call it "the two games that determine Lazio's efforts for a season".

If Lazio loses to Juventus in the league at the weekend, their pursuit of a season of undefeated records will come to an end.

And if Lazio loses to Manchester United in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals next week and is eliminated, his so-called "defending the triple crown" will become a joke.

The most important thing is that these two games are organically combined, and each game cannot be viewed separately.

Juventus knows that Lazio is going to fight Manchester United to the death, so they will fight Lazio to the death first. They hope that Lazio will be affected by the Champions League and have some scruples in the league, so that they can go all out. As long as they show their determination to win the game at any cost in the game, they can force Lazio to give up...

For example, when defending, the actions are rougher, and those players who are worried about missing the Champions League semi-finals due to injuries will be restrained.

This is Juventus's chance to win.

This is why the Turin media kept promoting Juventus' confidence in winning before the game.

If Lazio can feel Juventus's belief and take this into consideration when preparing for the game, Juventus' chances of winning will be even greater.

After all, this game is related to the Champions League semi-finals.

So will Lazio choose to give up the league or the Champions League?

Most people think that if they are always winning, they will decisively give up this league.

Why fight for a perfect season... Leave a way out for others...

And which is more important, the league or the Champions League?

With Lazio already winning the league title, there is no suspense about this question. Of course, the Champions League is more important!

Before the game with Lazio, Del Neri said the same thing when analyzing the situation of the game to his players in the locker room.

It is to boost the confidence of the players and let them fight to the death with Lazio.

※ ※ ※

In the Lazio dressing room, Changsheng said: "Remember what I said, guys? Either die on the way or become a legend! Of course we will definitely become a legend... Let's go out and teach those self-righteous mortals a lesson! Let them know that their so-called laws are meaningless to us! They don't work! That's why they are mortals and we are Lazio!"

Then the game started.

※ ※ ※

When the Lazio players came out, the fans on the scene also gave a huge cheer to welcome them, while for the Juventus players, they were only greeted with boos.

This is what Lazio fans can do to help the team.

Although they are also worried about Lazio's Champions League semi-final next week.

But now their opponent is Juventus.

They hope Lazio will beat Juventus, and the role they can play is to use boos to interfere with the opponent and create a home atmosphere where Lazio can win.

Before the game, the TV live broadcast kept giving the two head coaches, Del Neri and Changsheng.

Del Neri's performance was calm, and Chang Sheng also looked calm.

If you only look at the expressions of the two head coaches, you really can't feel that this is a crucial battle...

But the tense atmosphere has spread in the hearts of everyone who saw this scene.

Those spectators were even more nervous than the head coaches of the two parties...

The psychological quality of concealing is obviously not suitable for being a head coach.

"From the starting lineups of both sides, Lazio has rotated. Many people in the starting lineup when playing Manchester United at home in the middle of the week are not in the starting lineup of this game... But does this mean that Chang gave up this game? That's really hard to say..."

Fabio Caresa said.
