Chapter 193 Chelsea's Weakness (3/21)

After finishing the call with Lotito, Chang Sheng's cell phone received a text message from Mocio. The text message is very simple, there is only one sentence: "Thank you, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, Mr. Chang."

It seems that the Barcelona club has successfully reached a personal contract agreement with Falcao himself. From July, Falcao will not be a Lazio player.

Chang Sheng knew why he should thank himself, because this transfer deal would make Claudio Mocio, who was originally unknown, become an influential agent in Europe.

The recent transfer has not yet been announced, and the name of this agent often appears in the media.

He was frequently interviewed by reporters, appearing in Madrid for a while, and London for a while. Wherever he went, he received media attention.

After this transfer deal is announced, one can imagine how famous this agent will be!

In the time and space that Chang Sheng is familiar with.

When Falcao became famous, his agent was not this Claudio Mocio, but Mendes.

Presumably, he changed his agent when he was playing in Porto.

Now, Moxio can help Falcao get a big contract, and Falcao naturally does not need to replace such a capable agent.

Now it seems that I have not only changed the fate of some players, but also changed the fate of the agent... This is really amazing...

Chang Sheng replied a text message of congratulations, then put down the phone and continued to watch the game video.

He has changed the destiny of others, and he will also completely change his own.

In that time and space, Mourinho was awesome because he won two Champions League titles.

There are not many head coaches who can win two Champions League titles these years, and even fewer active players.

Mourinho played one of them, and he is still the youngest one, can he not be awesome?

Now Chang Sheng wants to be the "Mourinho" of this time and space. He will replace Jose Mourinho as the youngest manager to win two Champions League titles.

After Barcelona and Lazio reached a transfer agreement,

A major event of the Lazio club has been settled, and Lotito and Chang Sheng are relieved.

The next big thing is the Champions League.

Lazio has now entered the Champions League to do a decisive battle, and their opponent is Chelsea.

On the other side, Manchester United and Barcelona decide who can enter the final.

In the time and space that Chang Sheng is familiar with. Chelsea's opponent is Liverpool, and the two sides in the final are Chelsea and Manchester United.

United lifted the trophy by beating Chelsea on penalties in heavy rain at the Luzhniki Stadium. That was the second Champions League trophy in Ferguson's coaching career.

Now the victorious Lazio is about to rewrite history.

Lazio and Chelsea's semi-final first leg is Lazio's first home game and then away game.

From the schedule point of view, it is slightly unfavorable.

Because if anything goes wrong in the first round. Lazio didn't even have a chance to make up for the miss.

So get the opponent right in the first round.

After Mourinho left Chelsea, Avran Grant, the original club's sporting director, succeeded him as interim head coach.

It would be incomprehensible for someone to think that Chang Sheng became the head coach of Getafe's first team at the age of 28. If you think it is impossible.

Then they can look at Avran Grant.

In 1974, the 19-year-old Grant coached the Petah youth team to win the Israeli Youth League Championship and was promoted to the head coach of the adult team, creating the record of the youngest head coach of an adult team in Israel.

Became the head coach of the first team at the age of nineteen. This is nine years earlier than Chang Sheng!

So anything is possible in football. nothing is impossible...

When Grant took over Mourinho's position and coached Chelsea, the British media contemptuously published such a headline in their own newspaper: "Grant? Who?"

But in fact this is nothing more than British arrogance.

In Israel, Grant was the most successful head coach.

When he coached the two giants of Israel, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa, he led the team to the championship.

In 2002, at the age of 46, he became the head coach of the Israeli national team and the youngest head coach in the history of the Israeli national team. It is also the most successful. He led a young and inexperienced Israel unbeaten in Germany's World Cup qualifiers, only to miss the World Cup behind France and Switzerland because of too many draws.

His outstanding performances in the Israeli national team brought him into the English football circle. In 2006, he became the director of the athletic department of Portsmouth Football Club.

He worked with then-Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp, and after a successful season he moved to Chelsea to become Chelsea's sporting director.

Later, after Mourinho resigned due to conflicts with the boss Abramovich, Abramovich accepted Grant as the head coach of the Chelsea team.

If you don't know Grant's previous experience, you will think that he has reached the sky in one step. But in fact, he is an old coach with rich coaching experience.

From 1974 to 2006, he had 32 years of coaching experience. It is not surprising that such a wealth of coaching experience can be placed in any team. Why did Grant become the head coach of Chelsea, which caused ridicule and sarcasm from the media? ?

To put it bluntly, because his predecessor was Mourinho.

Comparing the two, Mourinho looks tall, handsome and rich, while Grant is poor and ugly.

Everyone misses that character coach Jose Mourinho. Although he was in the team, the English media did not quarrel with him. But without him, England's media would be lonely, without the gimmicks that could attract readers. Grant obviously cannot replace Mourinho's position in the media, so it is normal for the media to be frantic and black Grant.

Chang Sheng is a time traveler, he does not dare to underestimate Grant.

Because he is well aware of what Grant has achieved at Chelsea. Before Di Matteo, Avran Grant was Chelsea's most successful firefighting coach.

In his two hundred and forty-seven days as the head coach of Chelsea, Grant led the Blues from the bottom to the second position in the league, from taking over the first game 0:2 loss to Manchester United to the home 2:1 Lectra Manchester United, closely following Manchester United went to the last round; in the Champions League, it was even more historic to lead the Blues to the final, only to lose in the final penalty shootout because of Terry's mistake.

Mourinho left Chelsea with a fighting spirit and a tradition of victory, but Grant has also done a good job, otherwise there is no way to break into the Champions League final without spirit and tradition.

The clever thing about Grant is that he didn't completely deny Mourinho's set like Benitez did.

Why did Benitez dismiss get out of class after half a season after taking over from Mourinho at Inter Milan? To try to completely destroy everything left by a predecessor who left Inter Milan with great success and influence is to destroy the foundation of Inter Milan's success. He hopes to raze Inter Milan to the ground and start rebuilding, but he has never considered that Inter Milan is not one of those small teams. As a team in European football whose coaching frequency is second only to Real Madrid, their boss has no patience ...

So even though he led the team to win the Club World Cup, he had to dismiss get out of class sadly. When he left, no one even missed him.

Grant is much smarter. He knows that Mourinho has built a very good lineup and foundation for Chelsea, and he only needs to maintain stability on this foundation.

In fact, Chelsea's lineup is very strong.

In that time and space, the reason why Mourinho failed to reach the final was because of his bad luck, and he ran into Benitez who could contain him.

Of course, the time and space where Chang Sheng is now, the situation is different.

The biggest difference between this Chelsea team and the Chelsea team in that time and space is that they have won the Champions League once.

For the Chelsea club, from the boss Abramovich to the players, the biggest life goals have been completed.

Abramovich has always hoped that Chelsea can win the Champions League, so he invited Mourinho, who performed well in the European war.

Now that we have won the Champions League, everyone naturally lacks motivation.

This is why Mourinho resigned voluntarily.

He has realized that this group of players is unlikely to do their best to win.

But Mourinho will. Mourinho is an absolute, pure victoryist.

So there will be conflicts between the two sides.

He has feelings for Chelsea, so he naturally doesn't want to make the master and apprentice turn against each other in the end, and an all-out war will start in the locker room.

Take the initiative to resign, leave and leave, leaving a handsome back, and you can also leave a good impression in the hearts of the players, and you will see each other in the future.

The Chelsea that Grant took over now is not a team that can fight to the last moment for the championship, but a team that has lost its fighting spirit and motivation because it has already won the Champions League.

This is Chelsea's biggest Achilles' heel.

As long as Lazio can show their toughness in the game and resolutely not back down, it will be Chelsea's turn to back down.

According to Chelsea's characteristics, Changsheng's strategy for Lazio is "muscle"!

Showing their strength and determination in the game, they used fierce defense to contain Chelsea's attack, and in attack they continued to put pressure on Chelsea's defense.

Then, just wait for Chelsea to collapse on its own.

According to these strategies, the training of the team needs to be adjusted.

For example, strengthening strength training, emphasizing speed in defense and offense, and high-position pressing in the frontcourt must be in place. All the vicious ones stayed in the frontcourt, and even if they committed a foul, they basically rarely got cards—unless they intentionally hurt someone.

According to these points, the Lazio coaching staff has already formulated a training plan, and the team has been training with reference to the training plan for more than a week.

The first round of the semi-finals is about to begin, and this is a test to see if the winning theory is correct.
