Chapter 121 The Ambition of Changsheng
In the two national team games, Benzema was injured.
In the first national team game, he was replaced early due to injury.
At that time, Chang Sheng called him immediately to ask about his injury.
Benzema told himself it was nothing serious.
But Chang Sheng still suggested that he should not play in the next national team game.
As a result, in the second game, French coach Domenech still put Benzema into the list.
This time it was even worse. Benzema only played 30 minutes of the game, but because of an injury, he was unable to persist in the game and was replaced early.
This made Chang Sheng very angry when he saw this scene in front of the TV.
Benzema is the main right winger in his lineup.
His importance to the team is self-evident.
In his own club, Chang Sheng used Benzema cautiously, for fear that the young talent would be injured.
As a result, the player he took care of was treated roughly by Domenech, resulting in injury.
Chang Sheng could not tolerate this happening. If you don't teach Domenech a lesson, how can you suppress other national team coaches who are about to move in the future?
As the head coach of the club, he should be on the same level as the head coach of the national team. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
The game was not over yet, when Benzema was replaced, Chang Sheng made some strongly worded remarks on his website.
"Domenech, that idiot! Benzema was injured in the first game, why is he still on the list? It's all right now! Congratulations, you successfully broke my player!"
After the game, Chang Sheng said: "The French team beat the Faroe Islands 5-0, which is really impressive! But I would like to ask Mr. Domenech, playing against a team like the Faroe Islands. It is necessary to let the last game Injured players on the field? I believe France can easily beat the Faroe Islands without Benzema. Excuse my stupidity, I don't see the fucking need to play my players and leave injured. field!"
As the birthplace of many of Chang Sheng's speeches and quotations, Chang Sheng's personal website has attracted much attention because it is full of strong Chang Sheng's personal style. Many reporters even stayed on Chang Sheng's personal website,
Capture every message sent by Changsheng, and then synthesize it. Just a news report.
So these two messages from Chang Sheng soon appeared in the mainstream media.
This incident aroused everyone's interest, because Chang Sheng had never had a conflict with the head coach of the national team because a player was injured in a national team match. Even in his last season in Valencia, many players When the national team was injured in a game and encountered a wave of injuries. Chang Sheng did not have any conflicts with the head coach of the national team.
It was the first time he had fired at Domenech.
So the media are particularly interested.
A reporter went to interview Domenech to see what he thought of Chang Sheng's statement.
Domenech curled his lips: "He has the opinion to express his own opinion, I can't stop his mouth."
"So why play an injured Benzema against the Faroe Islands?" asked the reporters.
Domenech: "He was only slightly injured in the last game. For the sake of insurance, I let him down. Let him because he meets the requirements."
Domenech then refused to answer questions about Benzema.
※※※
Chang Sheng couldn't care less about arguing with Domenech on his website.
He only cares about Benzema's injury now.
Benzema returned to Italy after the game, and the Lazio club conducted a detailed inspection on him.
The final result made Chang Sheng heave a sigh of relief, it was not a serious injury. Just a mild muscle strain. Just take a month off.
So Chang Sheng said in an interview that Domenech will be spared for the time being. If Benzema is seriously injured, he will never end with Domenech!
Domenech directly made a shrinking turtle, he knew that Chang Sheng's mouth was so powerful. So it is wise not to spit at each other with Chang Sheng.
Although he can be regarded as a first-class hardliner in French football, he feels that he is still a person anyway, and what about Changsheng?
Chang Sheng is a mad dog, whoever is targeted by him will be unlucky.

The turmoil about Benzema's injury in the national team game has passed.
After Benzema was injured. His place will be replaced by Cazorla. Although at Villarreal, Cazorla played as a midfielder. However, under Chang Sheng's subordinates, everyone has to specialize in multiple skills, and adapting to multiple positions is almost a necessary quality.
Even goalkeepers have to be able to play sweepers - that's not an exaggeration. Under Chang Sheng's training, Handanovic's control area is getting wider and wider. Not only the entire restricted area, but even the area outside the restricted area must be the area he can control.
Mad dog tactics require the goalkeeper to have a large range of motion, so those goalkeepers who have good goal-line skills but don't like to attack and have limited control range, even if they are good and often win, don't want them.
This is why Valdez's buttery hand and convulsive goalkeeper can play the main force in Barcelona. Because of his large control range, in many cases it is even used directly as a scavenger.
The disadvantage of Cazorla playing as a winger is that he is not fast. Therefore, tactically, Changsheng must make some adjustments.
For example, at the position of the right winger, speed is still needed, but it is not the speed of dribbling, but the speed is maintained by passing and running.
Chang Sheng believes that Cazorla can do this.

The first game after the national team match day is the sixth round of the league. Lazio will face Cagliari at home, which is the last game of this round of the league.
Before that, the games of other teams have been played, and the latest rankings on the standings have also appeared.
Roma, which had four wins and one loss before, lost another game in this game.
Inter Milan won the game and temporarily topped the list with four wins, two draws and fourteen points.
As Chang Sheng knows, without his Lazio, then this season should be the rise of Inter Milan.
But now...
Only to say sorry to Moratti.
In the last game of this round of the league, Lazio defeated Cagliari 2-0 at home and continued unbeaten.
Sixteen points for five wins and one draw. Leading Inter Milan by two points, they returned to the top of the list.
Next is the second game of the Champions League group stage.
Lazio hosts Olympiacos away.
Although it is an away game, because the strength gap between the two sides is too great, there is not much suspense for Lazio in this game. Therefore, Changsheng did not send all the main players to the away game, because the players who played the national team game need to rest.
This time, except for goalkeeper Handanovic and central defenders Jose Passarella and Modric, he basically used a non-international team.
In this game, Lazio showed that their non-international team is also very strong.
Goalkeeper Handanovic, center back Jose Passarella, Campagnaro, left back Coentrao, right back Abate. The midfielders are Khedira, Ledesma and Modric, and the forwards are Falcao, Cazorla and Rocky-Benzema's injury leaves Chang Sheng with almost no substitutes on the front line.
Such a lineup. Let Lazio beat Olympiacos 2-0 away.
After the game, Chang Sheng strongly praised the performance of the players.
It is not because of how wonderful they played in this game, nor is it because of how crucial the victory of this game is.
Quite simply, the performance of the substitute lineup made Chang Sheng feel relieved about the team's ability to fight on multiple lines.
Although it is still only possible to focus on one side, Lazio will always fight on multiple fronts in the future. blooming everywhere. This is the ambition of Changsheng.
It is not easy for some coaches to have a triple crown in their coaching career, but Chang Sheng does not think so. He has already won the triple crown once, but he still wants to win more triple crowns.
The Triple Crown is the supreme pursuit of a head coach.
What's the big deal about leading a team to a championship? It is easy to win the championship with the strength of the rich and powerful.
But it is not easy to win three championships with enough weight in the same season.
Ferguson is known as the greatest manager in Premier League history. How many times has he led the team to the Triple Crown?
once.
Until he retired, it was just one time.
Why can Mourinho be called the most powerful head coach in today's football? Quite simply, he managed the treble with two different teams, once in Porto. Once at Inter Milan. Of course, Porto was the little "Triple Crown" that time. Because it is the UEFA Cup, not the Champions League. But he completed a real treble with Inter Milan.
Guardiola became famous as the head coach of Barcelona because he won the treble in his first season in charge.
Even if it's a giant team. To be able to complete the Triple Crown achievement is very remarkable.
Because of the Triple Crown. Not only strength is needed, but luck is also needed.
We must know that since the implementation of professionalization in European football, as of the 2006-2007 season, only five teams in the leagues of various countries have ever won this honor.
In 1967, after defeating Inter Milan 2:1 in the European Champions Cup final, Scotland's Celtic team became the first club team in history to win the "Triple Crown".
In 1972, Ajax from the Netherlands also competed with Inter Milan in the final of the European Champions Cup. Cruyff scored twice to help the team beat the opponent 2-0, but also to Achieved the most glorious "Triple Crown" in its history.
In 1988, after Ajax, Eindhoven, also from the Netherlands, was the third team in history to win the "Triple Crown". PSV Eindhoven defeated Portugal's Benfica 6-5 in a penalty shootout after extra time in the final of the European Champions Cup. After winning the league and the Dutch Cup double championships, PSV once again ruled the European arena.
In 1999, Manchester United from England won the UEFA Champions League by reversing Bayern Munich 2-1 with two goals from Sheringham and Solskjaer within three minutes of stoppage time, plus the previous Premier League champions and England The FA Cup champions became the first team in English football history to win the "Triple Crown" honor.
Then in 2004, Valencia, led by Chang Sheng, defeated Mourinho's Porto in the Champions League final, becoming the first "Triple Crown" in Spanish football history-this honor should have belonged to Guardio Pull the "Dream Team Three".
Chang Sheng has already achieved a triple crown in Valencia, and he will win more triple crowns.
Because he has an ambition.
At the beginning, his dream was to become a professional football coach. Later, this dream evolved into becoming one of the top coaches. Now this dream has become to remove the "one" and become the unique, most successful, greatest, and top coach.
In order to achieve this goal, he must cultivate a lineup that can adapt to three fronts fighting at the same time.
In Olympiacos, Chang Sheng saw this.
He is very relieved.
※※※
After the away game against Olympiacos, the next Champions League group match will have to wait until October 31st.
There are three league rounds in between.
They are away to Catania.
away to Sampdoria.
And at home against Regina.
These are also the last three league games in October.
The main lineup was fully rested, and Lazio, who had recharged their batteries, defeated the newly promoted Catania 3:1 away.
However, the careless Lazio lost 0:2 to Sampdoria in the away game. This is their first loss of the season.
After Lazio lost the game, the entire Italian media was reporting, and there were many people who gloated about it.
Changsheng ignored it and responded with a 4:1 home victory over Regina. (to be continued)
