Chapter 27 Tickets for the UEFA Cup

Lazio's final opponent in the Intertoto Cup is Deportivo Deportivo.

This lottery result is really good news for Chang Sheng.

Because at this stage, what he is most afraid of playing is the Spanish team - more than four years of coaching experience in Spain, so that he is very familiar with the characteristics of the Spanish team. Deportivo can be regarded as an old opponent, and Chang Sheng knows how his Lazio should deal with Deportivo.

It is impossible to take the opponent lightly like before, but Changsheng feels that he should still be capable of defeating Deportivo.

There are more than ten days before the two-round finals, which is enough for Changsheng to prepare.

Although there is an International Toto Cup competition, Changsheng still arranged a warm-up match.

Although theoretically speaking, try not to arrange double matches a week during the season preparation period, but Chang Sheng relies on his long preparation time in the early stage and sufficient physical reserves, so he dares to engage in double matches a week at this time.

Although the Toto Cup can also be regarded as a kind of warm-up match, it is an official game after all, with performance pressure.

Moreover, only three players can be changed in a game, so there is no way to test the team's game state and level.

The kind of warm-up match where everyone discusses how many players they want to change in a game. The main purpose is to allow as many players as possible to get enough playing time. The coaches observe their status, find out the problems of different combinations, and then solve them. question.

Time flies very fast in this rhythm.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first round of the Toto Cup final, and the Lazio players felt the most obvious during this period. The tacit understanding between them seems to have increased again, and their ability to understand new tactics has also risen.

This feeling cannot be described in words. They just feel that they have a better understanding of Changsheng's tactical requirements during training and warm-up matches, and they also understand how to play on the court.

Unlike the beginning, it was completely muddled, not knowing what the new tactics were. No matter how much Chang Sheng said, it was just a bunch of meaningless word combinations in their minds, which had no meaning and could not form a sense of picture.

But after this period of training. Everyone in Lazio's players feels at their fingertips.

Although there have been many legends about constant victories in the past, among them there is such a thing as practicing a new tactic in a week.

But most of them don't believe it.

I think there must be something wrong with the media coverage.

But now they are experiencing this miraculous experience for themselves.

However, in a very short period of time, they felt that they knew more and more about the new tactics and became more and more tacit.

They couldn't find the reason. Although the coaching staff worked very hard, it wasn't so magical, right? More effective medicines are still effective...

In the end, they could only conclude that it must be caused by the boss's mysterious oriental witchcraft!

So in my heart. The awe of this head coach is even deeper.

No one even slacked off during training—for fear they would be hurt by the boss's witchcraft.

Chang Sheng is also happy to play the role of a mysterious master among the players, and letting the players have awe of him will help him completely conquer the locker room.

Although he has almost emptied the original locker room, it is always good to be cautious.

The atmosphere in the locker room of the team is quite harmonious now, and there is nothing that makes Chang Sheng feel headache.

This is a good sign.

In the first round, Lazio challenged Deportivo away to Deportivo.

The two sides fought fiercely for 90 minutes, and finally reached a 2:2 draw.

With two away goals in hand, Lazio has already taken the lead.

After the game, some Spanish media said that his victories proved that he is still a dominant head coach in Spanish football. Even if he has left Valencia and changed to an Italian team that is running in, there is still no good way for Deportivo.

And Lazio supporters couldn't wait to celebrate qualifying for the UEFA Cup.

They don't believe that returning to the home court will make Deportivo a comeback.

This kind of thing can happen to any team, but it can't happen to a winning team.

As season preparations progress. Lazio's players have a deeper understanding of the new tactics, and they can also show more tactical requirements on the training ground.

Chang Sheng began to measure the players. Come up with more tactical routines for players to practice.

Various offensive routines, defensive routines, set-piece offensive routines, set-piece defensive routines, and different training skills.

Chang Sheng threw all the training skills he had no chance to use in Rome on Lazio.

Since you want to make Rome regret it, you have to make Lazio a real strong team!

On August 24, Lazio welcomed Deportivo at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

The final score of the game caught many people by surprise.

5:0!

Lazio slaughtered Deportivo at home!

Although many people thought that Lazio would win at home, they did not expect such a hearty victory!

In this game, Lazio completely controlled the situation on the field, and La Coruna was beaten helplessly. Lazio played the improved mad dog tactics on the court, which made the players of La Coruna feel both "Kindness" feels strange again. Because this set of tactics is different from the group of mad dogs they encountered in La Liga...

They are faster! There are more direct passes, sharper, and the threat to the goal is naturally greater.

Valencia's tactics are more controlled, slow and slow.

If you want to make a more intuitive comparison, Valencia grinds your opponent to death, like a boxing championship match that lasted twelve rounds and finally won by points. Lazio, on the other hand, won by their direct opponents through a stormy offensive.

As for which one is more threatening, it is hard to say. It is more secure to win by points. Basically, it is not easy to make mistakes, just waiting for the opponent to make mistakes, but it requires more physical strength. Because it takes twelve rounds to play. And directly knock down the opponent, the attack power is powerful. This is only possible with strong explosive power. The disadvantage is that once there is no way to knock down the opponent, it is very likely to be reversed by the opponent.

But if you ask the current Deportivo, they definitely don't like to play against Lazio.

After the game, Chang Sheng accepted an interview and expressed his sympathy for Irueta: "Irueta has worked in Deportivo for eight years, and the results are very good. Under his leadership, such a famous team in Deportivo Unknown small team became 'Super Depor'. But because the club has no ambitions, his efforts are now in vain. A team coach always signs a team every year. Can't bear to buy people, A team that only knows how to sell people obviously has no future."

Some media believe that he is talking to Lazio chairman Lotito, implying that he should not just go in and out of the transfer market in order to pay off his debts.

But in fact, Chang Sheng is just sighing with emotion.

When he became the head coach of Valencia, he used the banner of ending Super Depor to create momentum for himself.

Today, this 5:0 means that he really buried Super Depor with his own hands.

From then on, La Coruña will be completely reduced to soy sauce.

There is no such thing as a super deco anymore.

With a total score of 7:2, Lazio won the UEFA Cup as they wished.

They will start their UEFA Cup campaign in mid-September.

The UEFA Cup competition system this season is to play the first knockout round first. Eighty teams decide the outcome after a single round of home and away matches, and half of them are eliminated. The remaining forty teams are divided into eight groups, with five teams in each group. In the group stage, two 32-team teams will enter the knockout stage.

These thirty-two teams will fight each other again. Determine the top sixteen, top eight, top four, and finally the champion.

Deportivo fans had no idea what their team would end up achieving in the UEFA Cup, nor did they expect such a thing as a UEFA Cup title.

They are just happy to be in the UEFA Cup.

Because as a rival in the same city, Roma also qualified for the UEFA Cup, and now they have it too. Rome can't stand in front of them.

It was out of this simple hatred, after Lazio qualified for the UEFA Cup. Lazio fans have completely accepted the new head coach Chang Sheng.

If they were still skeptical about Chang Sheng before—after all, the Italian media is full of money, and many people worry about whether Chang Sheng can really adapt to Italian football—now, no Lazio fans will question Chang Sheng.

The two former Lazio looked like they were about to go bankrupt and disband at any time, but now a group of vibrant newcomers have arrived, and the team has even entered the UEFA Cup!

At this time, Lazio fans feel that their boss has really done a good deal-the love and support for Changsheng, and even the stingy boss who made them love and support the club. In fact, since Lotito has been in charge of Lazio for a season, fans have complained a lot about the stingy and stingy chairman.

They always feel that under the leadership of such a stingy club president, Lazio's future is dark.

Now, they feel that their boss is really wise and powerful. Under his leadership, the club will definitely go from victory to victory and regain its revival and glory.

Before the start of the league, qualifying for the UEFA Cup was an excellent boost to the morale of Lazio.

This will help the team face the long and difficult season ahead with full morale and mental state.

Chang Sheng is also very satisfied with the result.

Especially during this period of time, the team's training effect has improved by leaps and bounds, and the players' ability to understand and execute new tactics has greatly improved.

This makes Chang Sheng full of confidence in the new season.

In this way, three days before the start of the league, Chang Sheng announced that he would buy everyone a meal out of his own pocket.

It is to wish Lazio to perform well in the new season and achieve good results.

This decision was unanimously welcomed by all.

The players in the team, even the ones with the lowest salary, are not invited to have a meal together, so they are not short of this meal, they just express their favor for the head coach's friendly behavior.

In the pre-season training this summer, Chang Sheng always played the role of black face. He kept a close eye on the training status of each player. Once a player did not train seriously or failed to meet the standard in the weekly training assessment, What awaited them was Chang Sheng's roar and punishment.

If it is light, it will be fined, and if it is serious, it will go to the reserve team to face the wall and think about it for a week.

Under such a punishment mechanism, no one dared to be lazy.

So this pre-season training camp may be the hardest time they have ever had.

Of course, now that the team has qualified for the UEFA Cup, everyone knows that their hard work is worth it.

It was only after seeing Chang Sheng's approachable side that everyone realized that their head coach didn't just scold others with a straight face.

After having the attributes of awe and mystery, Chang Sheng has the attribute of "kindness" among the players.

And Chang Sheng also secretly sighed, more melon eggs are just so easy to fool, and the problem of affinity can be solved with one meal...

But from this meal, Chang Sheng also felt that this might be a good tradition. In the future, before the start of the league every year, after the transfer market is declared closed, it is a very good idea to pay for everyone to have a meal at their own expense. It can enhance the relationship between yourself and the players, especially the new players, and it can also increase the understanding and friendship between new players and old players.

This thing needs to go on.
