Chapter 83 The Priceless Treasure of Chinese Football
After scoring this time, Ji Ming declined his teammates' requests to come up to celebrate! He went to the front of the coaching bench and made a pacifier sucking gesture to his boss and godfather Chang Sheng.
Everyone knows what this gesture means.
He dedicated this goal to his boss!
Congratulations to his boss on having a baby!
After the other teammates came up, they also imitated Ji Ming's gesture to celebrate the goal, and then everyone laughed and rushed to Chang Sheng and hugged him.
※※※
Compared with the joy and warmth on the Lazio side, Manchester United seemed to be in hell.
Ji Ming's goal did constitute a second blow to Manchester United's morale.
And what's worse than the last time is that there is not much time left for Manchester United this time!
This loss of the ball is more fatal.
If there is more time, they can still launch an attack, score again, and take the lead in the total score.
And time can make them more relaxed.
Now that time is short, they can't be calm anymore. The attack will be disorganized, and they will rush forward all at once, completely forgetting the space behind them.
Lazio is also a team that is very good at counterattacks. Let them counterattack. Who knows what will happen!
No matter how you think about it, Manchester United's future seems very bleak, and there is no hope at all.
This desperate atmosphere spreads within the Manchester United team, and the jubilant cheers of Lazio fans at the Wanda Stadium are the catalyst.
Many Manchester United players even lost the motivation to continue playing - what's the point of playing a game without victory and hope?
At this time, perhaps the only one who did not give up was their head coach Mourinho.
Mourinho was absolutely unwilling to be eliminated by Lazio, because the total score was a tie!
Just because of an away goal, an away goal... Mourinho was unwilling!
There were less than ten minutes left,
so what?
Mourinho's gambler temperament was fully demonstrated at this moment.
He used up the last two substitutions in his hand in one breath.
All the players on were forwards, and all the players off were defenders.
He has already made a desperate bet.
At this time, don't think about the problem of losing the ball on defense. It doesn't make sense to lose with a total score of 33 or 34.
The key is that they have to score!
Mourinho fought hard to score!
As long as they can score first, they will win the bet!
After scoring first, they should immediately shrink their defense, and there should be less time. If they can't make it through such a short time, Manchester United deserves to die.
And even if Lazio also scores, Manchester United will be much more relaxed - the total score is tied, the number of away goals is tied, so they will play overtime. Psychologically, Manchester United will have the advantage at this time.
Mourinho thinks so.
※※※
As Mourinho thought, when Lazio tied the total score, they immediately retreated to defense.
Messi and Cavani were replaced at the same time, and two defensive players were replaced.
Lazio plans to keep this score.
But at the same time, Gotze and Ji Ming are still in the front, and their task is very simple, which is to counterattack.
As long as there is a suitable opportunity, he will quickly counterattack with the ball and threaten Manchester United's goal with his own personal ability.
There will be a lot of space in the backcourt of Manchester United for them. With their ability, threatening Manchester United's goal will not be a problem.
And Ji Ming has fully demonstrated his super personal ability in this game.
It is trustworthy to hand over the football to them.
With these two people, Lazio can threaten Manchester United.
※※※
In the next game, Manchester United will press Lazio to play, which looks like Manchester United's home court.
And Lazio shrinks its defense and counterattacks from time to time, which makes Manchester United very uncomfortable.
In three minutes of injury time, Lazio's substitutes all stood on the sidelines, ready to go in and celebrate the promotion.
On the Manchester United side, Mourinho was still standing on the sidelines, his eyes fixed on the court.
Unwilling to give up any hope.
In fact, even his assistants and Manchester United's substitutes may have given up, thinking that they have no chance.
But Mourinho did not.
Even if there is only one second, he is unwilling to admit defeat.
He can't afford to lose in the duel with Changsheng!
Unfortunately, fate did not favor him. Although he was very tenacious, he lost to a genius.
Tactical discipline and other things have rules and traces. You can restrain the opponent, and the opponent can also restrain you.
But genius is really hard to say, too unrealistic.
You don't know when this genius will explode, and you don't know how he will explode. You have no countermeasures at all, so you can only passively defend, rely on experience and luck.
And this time, unfortunately, luck is not on his side, and experience is useless for Ji Ming, a genius.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the cheers of Wanda Stadium resounded through the sky. When they lost 1:3 in the first round at Old Trafford, many people felt that the hope of advancing was slim and depended on luck.
So their cheers are particularly exciting now, with a sense of rebirth after "surviving a disaster".
In their cheers, Mourinho has been maintaining his previous posture, with his head slightly raised and his mouth slanted! His expression is very serious. !
This may be the only action he can take to express his unwillingness.
He didn't lower his head, even though it was just an ordinary gesture. He didn't want anyone to think that he had bowed his head and admitted defeat.
Then he went on the field to comfort his players.
This game was also a big blow to those players.
How happy they were when they won 3:1 in the first round.
They thought they could get past Lazio and reach the semifinals.
Who would have thought that this away trip would turn out to be their last Champions League game of the season.
※※※
At the end of the game, the bench players on the sidelines rushed onto the court, running, hugging, cheering and celebrating.
Ji Ming was among them. He kept waving his fists, hugging and high-fiving his teammates.
There was a camera reporter beside him, carrying a heavy camera, and the camera was always pointed at him.
Close-up, close-up · In addition to close-up, it is still close-up.
This kind of treatment is because he is the best in the game.
Everyone knows that Ji Ming is the biggest contributor, or even the only contributor, to Lazio's advancement to the semifinals.
In the first round, with Chang Sheng absent from the game and Lazio trailing Manchester United 0:3, it was Ji Ming's goal before the end of the game that preserved the team's hope of advancement.
Looking back now, if it weren't for Ji Ming's goal, Lazio would have been eliminated in the end even if they scored two goals in this game.
In the first round, he kept the team's hope of advancement.
In the second round, he dominated the game by himself.
When the team was unable to start the game, he relied on his super personal ability to turn the tide on his own, scoring two goals to pull Lazio back from the edge of the cliff, and then kicked Manchester United off the cliff.
Looking at Ji Ming in the camera, the Italian commentator said: "If there is a best example of a star deciding the outcome of a game and the fate of two teams, I think it is the person in front of me. He is only 2 years old. The 20-year-old Ji fully demonstrated his abilities. He was the protagonist of this game, and all the other players and coaches in this game became his supporting roles. It is amazing!"
"This is a priceless treasure of Chinese football! Thank you Chang Sheng! Thank you Lazio! You have trained such an excellent player for us! Please cherish him and take care of him. Such people should be enshrined like a Bodhisattva!" Chinese commentator The staff was also quite excited, he said emotionally.
Chang Sheng appeared in the camera. Chang Sheng grabbed Ji Ming, pulled him over and gave him a strong bear hug.
Chang Sheng praised Ji Ming in this way.
This game is indeed difficult for Lazio, but fortunately they have Ji Ming.

At the post-match press conference, Mourinho curled his lips and said words that refused to admit defeat. In any case, he was just making excuses for his own failure, and he absolutely refused to admit that he had lost.
He cannot admit it, even though his actions now will make many people despise him, thinking that he is not gentlemanly, cannot afford to lose, and has delusions of being persecuted...
But this is an important factor in his success.
Because he will find many reasons to excuse himself, but he just refuses to admit failure.
In his opinion, once he admits failure, he will lose his temper.
Because failure is a kind of inertia, admitting failure is also a terrible inertia.
Since you admit it once, you will admit it a second time, a third time, and more times. Admitting failure can also gain a good reputation in public opinion. As a result, the cost of admitting failure is reduced. In the eyes of these people, failure is nothing more than that, no big deal.
Mourinho is unwilling to admit defeat and would rather let himself be scolded by the world than let go. This is his personal fighting principle.
He would rather be a notorious fighter than be assimilated into that "gentlemanly manner" and become one of them.
Life is a battle. If life does not stop, then we must fight endlessly.
Mourinho ridiculed in the post-match press conference that the winning team can only rely on his godson to win. From a tactical point of view in this game, he has always won. If not for Ji Ming's sudden outbreak, Manchester United would have advanced now.
The implication is that if you are always victorious, you are incompetent. What is the point of relying on the players' inspiration? That’s not the head coach’s credit at all!
Chang Sheng retorted at the post-match press conference later, saying that being able to make good use of these talented players, fully tap their potential, and create a suitable environment for their personal performance is also one of the responsibilities of a head coach. One, this is nothing to criticize.
Mourinho looks down upon him so much, which only shows his short-sightedness.
The media are used to two people spitting at each other all day long.
Some people even gave the relationship between the two of them a very passionate name, called "until the end of the world."
This means that these two people will continue to quarrel until the end of the world.
This is their relationship.
No one should be too surprised.
There is no need to judge who is right or wrong. Both of them are controversial figures, and there is no sense of right or wrong. If they argue about who is right and who is wrong, that would be a waste of time...
