Chapter 45 What the Hell Is Going On? (One Hundred and Eleven/One Hundred and Thirty-Four)
When tossing a coin before the game, Lazio got the right to choose the side. M
When seeing this result, Changsheng pursed his lips on the sidelines.
This is a good start.
The next step is to choose the side.
The team captain Jose Passarella decisively chose the half of the field where Lazio had warmed up before.
Lazio got the half they wanted.
When Tony Twain saw this scene on the sidelines, he couldn't help laughing.
He even turned his head with a smile to look at the Lazio coaching bench to see what Changsheng was doing.
Changsheng stood on the sidelines, his arms around his chest, frowning.
Seeing him like this, Tony Twain was quite proud.
If Changsheng thought that only half of this stadium was like a rotten vegetable field, then he could give them a surprise after the game officially started!
※ ※ ※
The referee blew a whistle and the game began.
Nottingham Forest kicked off and launched an attack.
This was different from when they were away.
When playing away, Nottingham Forest retreated to defend from the start of the game and defended the 30-meter area.
At home, they attacked actively!
This really surprised many people who asserted that Nottingham Forest only defended.
Seeing Nottingham Forest attack, Changsheng stared at the Nottingham Forest players.
The field conditions in Lazio's half were very bad, and he wanted to see how Nottingham Forest's players dealt with this kind of field.
He thought that if his players would get injured on such a field, then Nottingham Forest's players would not be much better.
The field conditions should be fair to both sides, and there is no such thing as me being at a disadvantage and others taking advantage.
But what happened next stunned Changsheng!
Because he saw Nottingham Forest's players walking briskly on the rotten vegetable field!
What the hell is going on? !
This was the first thought that popped into Changsheng's mind.
The same rotten vegetable field, his players had to be very careful when running on it, for fear of spraining their ankles or twisting their knees. Just like Thiago.
How come when Nottingham Forest players come on, they can completely ignore this bad field?
This is unscientific!
The field is fair to everyone... it is impossible to treat them differently.
Is Nottingham Forest's home field so smart? Can it automatically identify whether the player running is a Lazio player or a Nottingham Forest player, and then treat them differently?
Or do Nottingham Forest players have some secrets that allow them to walk on such a bad field like flat ground?
Changsheng felt that today's game completely overturned his common sense. He had lived two lifetimes and had never seen such a thing!
A bad field will definitely not have different performance results for the two teams!
※ ※ ※
The Lazio players on the field were also surprised to find that Nottingham Forest players were running briskly.
Before the game, their boss repeatedly mentioned to them that the field was fair to both teams.
But what's going on?
How can Nottingham Forest players run so fast on the field?
Aren't they afraid of spraining their ankles?
The Lazio players were in a state of disarray because of the performance of the Nottingham Forest players that was completely beyond their expectations.
This should be a great opportunity for Nottingham Forest.
Even Tony Twain on the sidelines saw it.
He clenched his fists, waiting to cheer for Nottingham Forest's goal.
Nottingham Forest's attack soon hit the Lazio penalty area!
Generally speaking, being able to enter the penalty area is a very dangerous time. In a game, it is not necessarily that every attack of the opponent can enter the penalty area.
So when they saw the ball being hit into the Lazio penalty area. The Nottingham Forest fans at the City Stadium cheered loudly.
Changsheng also became nervous, and he couldn't help cursing: "Damn it..."
I saw that Nottingham Forest striker Adriano Mok received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area, pushed the ball to the outside, and prepared to dodge the angle and shoot!
At this critical moment, Lazio's captain Jose Passarella rushed over and made a very accurate tackle!
Before Adriano Mok, Jose Passarella shoveled the ball out of the baseline!
Then Mok kicked Jose Passarella's leg. Due to inertia, he stumbled and fell into the penalty area.
Nottingham Forest fans in the stands, Nottingham Forest head coach Tony Twain standing on the sidelines, and Nottingham Forest players on the field all raised their hands. Shouting: "This is a fucking penalty!!"
The referee did not blow the whistle to point to the penalty spot, but directly pointed to the corner flag!
Corner kick!
Nottingham Forest got a corner kick!
The Nottingham Forest players were obviously very dissatisfied with the result. They surrounded the referee and complained for Adriano Mok.
Tony Twain also seemed very angry. He shouted to the fourth official: "This is definitely a penalty! ! 100%!"
Changsheng was not idle either, seeing Tony Twain say so. I went up to him and retorted: "Jose's defense doesn't even need a foul! Stop yelling!"
Tony Twain actually came up to provoke Chang Sheng, so he abandoned the fourth official and pointed the finger at Chang Sheng: "Everyone knows whether it is a penalty kick or not."
Chang Sheng nodded: "Yes, we all know it. Do you dare to bet? I bet 10 million euros that this is not a penalty kick. Do you want us to establish a written record and then use the slow motion camera as the criterion?"
Most people bet at most on a meal or a bottle of wine... There is no one like Chang Sheng, which starts at 10 million yuan...
In terms of money, Chang Sheng is much richer than Tony Twain.
He naturally has the confidence to say so.
Tony Twain also knows this very well. This constant victory is just to throw money at him again.
But he couldn't help it.
So he rolled his eyes, turned around and ignored Chang Sheng.
※ ※ ※
The off-court confrontation between the two head coaches ended quickly, and the Chang Sheng dispute gradually subsided.
Although it is good to get a penalty kick at the beginning, there is no need to dwell on it if you really can't get it. After all, this game has just begun, and judging from their attack just now. Nottingham Forest's players have great confidence in themselves.
Even if this penalty kick is not awarded, they are confident that they can beat Lazio in this game.
So seeing that the referee insisted on his opinion, they stopped arguing.
If we continue to struggle, it is not worthwhile to receive a yellow card.
Of course, in the end, slow-motion TV replays proved Jose Passarella’s innocence.
"A very clean tackle that didn't touch Mok at all! Jose Passarella's tackle was accurate and decisive, and he was very courageous! Generally, defenders don't dare to tackle easily when defending in the penalty area. Yes, because this is likely to cause a foul and give the opponent a penalty... But Jose Passarella was very decisive when he tackled the ball, and it was his decisiveness that saved Lazio! "
While the Nottingham Forest players were still surrounding the referee, Jose Passarella had already started to boost the morale of his teammates.
He didn't seem to care at all whether his tackle was a foul or whether it would give Nottingham Forest a penalty kick.
"The field is not good for us, guys." Jose Passarella called his teammates together. Then say it to them. "And not only that, our opponents seem to have no problem. I don't know how they did it, and now is not the time to study this problem. I only know that we cannot lose this game! So next, Keep your spirits up, this game has just begun, we can't relax! We can't hesitate when it's time to kick! We don't give them too much space in the penalty area and move forward. , to Mario and Leo..."
Jose Passarella's idea for the team is to shrink the defense and at the same time make as many big-footed clearances as possible during defense. Let the football fly more in the air, thus reducing accidents.
I have to say that Jose Passarella's choice is very correct. If he switches to a winning team, this is probably the arrangement.
Because the venue is not good. The pass-and-receive coordination that Lazio is good at cannot be achieved at all, so it needs to go to the sky.
Counterattacking with long passes and wide kicks are the best methods.
As a player on the field. It is not easy to be keenly aware of problems and make correct judgments and decisions.
Jose Passarella can become the best defender in the world, and his mind plays a vital role.
Privately everyone in Chang Sheng believes that Jose Passarella will become a very good head coach after he retires...
Jose Passarella has played at Lazio for seventeen years. Chang Sheng has been playing here as long as he has coached this team. This makes him the longest-serving player at Lazio after Modric.
Since Rocky retired, Jose Passarella has been promoted to the team's first captain. In addition, before that, he had actually been wearing the captain's armband to perform the captain's duties.
Therefore, in the Lazio team, Jose Passarella's authority is very high. It is no exaggeration to say that he is second only to their boss in terms of winning.
Sometimes, Jose Passarella is basically Chang Sheng's spokesperson in the locker room.
Of course, teammates listen to Jose Passarella not because he is the spokesman for winning, but because of his strength, loyalty, and honor.
As the best defender in the world, he deserves everyone's respect.
Seeing how calm the captain was, the other Lazio players also recovered from their previous shock.
Yes, this game will be difficult to win at the moment, but are we going to give in and surrender like this?
What is Nottingham Forest?
Just a dark horse.
We, Lazio, were once the European hegemons, how could we lose to Nottingham Forest?
