Chapter 43 Despair (121/136)

() During the intermission, Chang Sheng praised the team's performance, but he didn't praise too much in depth. He talked in general terms and didn't even name them specifically.レm♠Thinking♥Road♣Guestレ

This is his style, even if the team won the opponent by four goals in the first half, he will not praise his team at half-time.

This style may be derived from his playing FM games at the beginning.

Starting from FM2006, the game has added the option of halftime speeches. . .

Chang Sheng likes this change very much, it will make him feel more involved as a head coach.

Although some people criticize that many players are always YY coaches are talkers, but in fact, excellent head coaches are indeed experts in talkers.

There are very few head coaches who don't give some lectures during the intermission.

Isn't the famous Ferguson nicknamed "Hairdryer"? If he doesn't speak up, how do you think he got his nickname?

Chang Sheng likes this setting of midfield lectures very much. Every generation of outstanding players will give lectures in person, and he will never choose the option of "let the assistant coach do it for him".

Just to feel the kind of halftime lectures by myself, the team completed a big reversal, and then the players told the reporters when they were interviewed by reporters after the game that it was the coach's words during the halftime break that made them catch up and finally made a big comeback sense of accomplishment. . .

After his trial and error, he found that if the team took the lead in the first half and performed brilliantly, and he chose to praise the team "You guys did a good job" during the intermission, then the team's performance in the second half would definitely plummet. If you only lead by two goals, the computer will definitely be able to reverse it for you in the end. Unless you lead by four goals, it is safe. But the second half will make your heart skip a beat.

So Chang Sheng no longer chose to praise the team at halftime.

Even praise has its limits, and will keep the players going in the second half.

In reality, Chang Sheng once got carried away and forgot about this rule.

When he was in the Getafe C team, he had a gambling match with the Getafe first team.

In the first half of that game, his own team performed brilliantly. So Chang Sheng praised his players without hesitation during the intermission.

The whole halftime break was just praise.

As a result, not long after the start of the second half, Chang Sheng was slapped in the face and the main central defender was sent off with a red card. If it wasn't for Jose Passarella, he might have to pack his bags and leave. Naturally, there would not be the current victories and the series of dazzling championship honors.

This lesson is combined with the habits developed while playing the game. Chang Sheng has now formed such a lecture style during the halftime break. Even if the player performed well in the first half, he will not praise too much.

Only when he completely wins the game will he completely release his emotions.

After praising the players to a limited extent, Chang Sheng made demands on them in the second half.

"Speed, or speed. Continue to maintain this rhythm in the second half, and Rome will collapse soon. Because they can't keep up with our speed! Or drag them down mercilessly, defeat them! You have to have such confidence that the whole of Italy will No team can keep up with us for 90 minutes!"

Intermission. The game programs on Italian TV stations are all discussing the first half.

Originally, everyone thought that this would be an evenly matched Rome city derby, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be one-sided...

Forty-five minutes in the first half, in addition to being very active at the beginning, Roma also had an offside goal. After Lazio scored, they quickly withered...

This performance disappointed Roma supporters.

During the intermission, a local TV station in Rome had invited hardcore supporters from both Rome and Lazio to discuss the game. As a result, Roma's supporters swaggered before the game and were completely silent at halftime. Lazio supporters danced happily in the studio. The way they entertained themselves made the commentator laugh, while the Roma supporters could only bury their heads a little lower.

Such a scene is often staged on Italian television.

The broadcasting of Italian games is basically monopolized by commercial TV stations, and you have to pay to watch their programs. In order to also take advantage of the attractiveness of the league, those public TV stations will pay some guests to watch the football with everyone during the game time. There is no game footage. There is only the voice of the commentator on-site commentator, and then the guests randomly enter the commentary game at any time.

In fact, this point is a bit like the barrage websites in the future, such as China's A station fun and B station, a group of people gather together to watch, and it is lively.

The studio is also often entertained by the differing reactions to the game from supporters on both sides.

Even more so in the derby.

Lazio supporters and guests pointed at the silent Roma supporters over there and shouted: "You are doomed! Now you will regret driving away Chang!"

Roma fans continued to be silent.

After the start of the second half of the game. Rome obviously intends to use this time to launch an offensive again and regain the initiative.

After a fifteen-minute rest, they had regained some of their strength.

But Prandelli is worried that Lazio will continue this pace in the second half. In that case, Roma will not last long.

Therefore, we must score goals as soon as possible and equalize the score as soon as possible.

He has no good way to do this, he can only make the players work harder and work harder.

If this is an ordinary game, he can actually make the team shrink the defense, spend 45 minutes slowly dealing with Lazio, and play defensive counterattacks.

But in this way, first of all, the scene is not good-looking, and secondly, you may not be able to win the ball.

But at least you can avoid losing more balls.

It's just that the Derby de Rome is unusual, he can't do that.

Just one bad scene is enough for fans to spray him to death.

If you lose in the end... no matter how many you lose, the fans only recognize the result anyway, even if you lose only one goal, it is still a loss!

As long as he loses, he will immediately become the target of public criticism, and any ugly words will come out. There will be endless rumors of gossip news and scandals...

Just because this is the Rome derby, two games a year are completely independent of other games, which is unique.

That is the Rome derby.

Even if you lose the league championship and the Champions League, as long as you can beat your rivals in the same city hard in the Rome derby. You will also enjoy the pursuit and praise of everyone.

So in this game, there are not many choices for Prandelli to make.

※※※

Roma performed well when they took the ball to attack, especially Totti was very active. He seemed to want to prove that Roma can play well without winning, because there is me Totti!

But they can't guarantee that they will score again in every attack. In fact, no one can guarantee.

But in this way, once they fail to score and the ball falls to Lazio, the situation will be completely different.

People have such a feeling. It felt like they were still watching the first half of the game.

Lazio maintains a high-speed fast pace, and once Roma loses possession, it will be difficult to get it back, so they can only run behind Lazio's ass. This kind of passive running is the most tiring...

In order to be able to steal the ball, the Roma players had to foul more often.

Needless to say, their defensive strategy is really effective.

At least ten minutes into the second half, Lazio has not threatened Rome's goal.

It's just that it's really ugly to do so on the scene. After the game, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. It is inevitable that they will be scolded by the media.

Prandelli can't care so much anymore, and the players in Rome can't care so much anymore.

They just want to beat Lazio and let Lazio go to hell!

※※※

Seeing that the foul tactics worked, Prandelli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when he was about to return to the coach's bench from the sidelines, take a sip of water, and sit down to rest. He saw Chang Sheng next door, got up and walked from the coach's bench to the sidelines.

What adjustments do you seem to be making?

Prandelli stopped his footsteps and turned to look at Chang Sheng. He wanted to see what Chang Sheng was going to do.

I saw Chang Sheng blew his whistle, attracting the attention of the Lazio players on the field with his sharp whistle.

Then he made a gesture.

this gesture. Prandelli couldn't understand it at all. It should be an internal gesture of Lazio, and he didn't even want to understand it.

So Prandelli didn't plan to go back, he stood on the sidelines again, he wanted to see how Lazio would respond...

It won't be long.

Because in the next five minutes, Lazio actually made a three-legged long shot!

Prandelli thought of the game between Lazio and Milan.

Milan's tight defense in that game was completely smashed by Lazio's heavy artillery!

One kick after another, and finally those world-class defenders in Milan could only raise their hands and surrender!

When I think about Milan's old, but experienced and capable gold medal defense line, and then think about my current defense line...

Prandelli suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

I originally thought that after dealing with Lazio's speed, there should be no problem.

Unexpectedly, Lazio has other weapons, which were hidden and tucked away before, so that no one can see them, and they will be taken out suddenly during the game...

At this time, seeing that Lazio still has a long-range shot, Prandelli only felt a little bit of despair...

Advantages in physical confrontation, stamina, speed, ball-handling skills, and now there is another long-distance advantage...

Facing such an opponent, how should Rome fight them?

He really didn't want to admit it, but there was really nothing he could do now...

A feeling of despair crept into his heart quietly.

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome was still filled with all kinds of noise, boos, songs and shouts, but Prandelli couldn't pay attention.

He can fully analyze that if the next form of the game cannot stop Lazio's heavy bombardment, it will be a matter of time before they lose the ball. After conceding three goals, the game was considered over for Roma.

Although this is a city derby. But the same city derby also has to pay attention to objective factors.

It's all labeled like this, and it's pure nonsense to save it.

Even if they withstood the long-range attack during this period, as long as Lazio maintains their speed advantage, Rome will be dragged down sooner or later!

There is nowhere to go! (To be continued.)
