Chapter 89 Core: Morta

While the Lazio fans were frowning in the stands, Chang Sheng was hysterical in the locker room.

Hysteria isn't grabbing players by the collar, spitting at them and yelling, "I fucking want to win!"

It's not realistic.

Chang Sheng's hysteria is manifested in a mental state. Although he doesn't say a word, everyone will think he is hysterical.

For example, he filled a blackboard with his tactical arrangements at the fastest speed. Every time the chalk landed on the blackboard, it would make a loud noise, which made people worry that Chang Sheng would break the chalk pestle...

After finishing writing, he slammed the chalk on the ground again, turned around and looked at his players again, his eyes were even slightly red.

Everyone was taken aback.

It turned out that when they entered the locker room, they were still very frustrated. The first half of the game was really aggrieved... Now no one cares about this, they are just surprised-why is the boss so...crazy?

Of course, they don't know why the boss is so crazy, because this game, or the two rounds of games, is not as simple as winning or losing two games for Chang Sheng.

It's also about whether what he worked hard for that rainy night in Moscow last year made sense, and whether he can really resist the tricks of fate.

Chang Sheng gritted his teeth and said to his players: "Luka was injured. Domingo told me it was a thigh muscle strain. The specific injury needs to be checked in more detail to see if his muscle fibers are torn or not. .So they're not here now, in the hospital."

Although he gritted his teeth, his tone was very calm, without even an exclamation point.

"Guys, now we have a big crisis. It is no exaggeration to say that it is indeed a big crisis. We met the opponent we met in the final last season. I don't need to say that you should know that if we lose to If we lose them, what will be the result. They will question the championship we won last season, and the media will exaggerate our failure... "One year later, Manchester United succeeded in revenge!" "Lazio is the European champion, Manchester United defeated the European champion!"... …that kind of headline, I can think of it with ****. Now that we are behind, maybe those goddamn reporters have already started writing such articles in the media box... To make matters worse, our playmaker is injured again .”

"The situation is not good, guys." Chang Sheng took a breath, then let it out, and said.

"What should we do? Give up? Of course not! Now, when everyone thinks we are finished,

We are about to start the Jedi counterattack! Don't have an organizer? No, we have! Mota! "

Mota was surprised by Chang Sheng's sudden name call, then raised his head and looked at his boss.

"You came from Barcelona, ​​Motta, from the beginning you and Lazio's tactics can be seamlessly integrated. That's why I chose you in the first place. Although you have played as a substitute for Luka for most of the season, You just assist him on the court. Or play an organizational role in the rotation game. Some people may doubt whether you can take on such an important role in such a critical game, but I have never doubted your ability. Now, it is time to Your doubters have shown you what you can do, Morta."

After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he moved away from the blackboard, and then he began to point at the blackboard to Motta, and also said to other players: "Your position on the field is lower than Modric, but it doesn't matter, you also need to know It was I who played the playmaker's tactics behind the core. At that time, Gotze and Cazorla will retreat to support you and help you connect the midfield. Gotze, Cazorla?"

The two people whose names were called responded: "Understood, boss!"

"When you need to go forward, don't hesitate, don't look forward and backward, just go forward, if you lose the ball, Ledesma and Candreva will protect you. Ledesma, Candreva?"

The two midfielders also responded: "Yes, boss!"

"When we open up wide, the two full-backs have the courage to come in, as soon as you see the space, you can pass the football there, Mota."

Motta nodded.

Next, Chang Sheng gave Mota an analysis and explanation one by one. Mota listened attentively and nodded constantly.

Finally, Chang Sheng asked Motta: "Do you have any questions?"

Unexpectedly, Motta really did, he raised his hand and asked: "The situation is suitable, can I not pass the ball, but shoot directly?"

Chang Sheng smiled, then nodded: "As long as the situation is right, you can handle it yourself."

Motta nodded: "Understood, I'm fine, boss."

Chang Sheng glanced at him with satisfaction, then looked at the others.

"Guys, in the second half, we have to chase at least two goals, and we can't continue to lose the ball. Whether it is attacking or defending, we will be under a lot of pressure. This requires you to run more than usual and fight harder. A lot. I know it's hard, but it's because it's hard. Let Manchester United see why it was us who beat them and won the championship a year ago, not them! It's not luck, it's He must have a reason!!"

※※※

After the start of the second half, everyone found that the victorious Lazio did not make any adjustments. The personnel and tactics have not changed.

But without Modric, how can such a Lazio win Manchester United, which is one goal ahead of them and is in good shape?

You must know that Modric is the core of Lazio's organization, and it can even be said to be the core of this mad dog tactic.

After Modric was injured, Motta was the only one who could replace him.

It's just how could Motta top Modric?

What would Lazio want to beat Manchester United if they didn't seek to change it?

Did he admit defeat and surrender in advance?

Even Ferguson next to him turned his head and glanced at the man squatting on the sidelines, not knowing what Chang Sheng wanted to do.

It is of course impossible for Chang Sheng to admit defeat and surrender in advance.

Not to mention admit defeat and surrender in advance, even if it is admit defeat and surrender, these two words are not in Chang Sheng's dictionary.

He chose to use Motta naturally for his reasons.

Any team must have a core, and so does any tactic.

For example, Guardiola's Dream Three can sweep Europe. Their -taka tactic is very powerful, but this tactic and this lineup also have a core.

The media and fans have all focused on Messi, but in fact the essence of this tactic is Harvey.

As the brain of Barcelona, ​​Harvey's role is irreplaceable.

Barcelona can live without Messi, but not without Xavi.

This is not black Messi, and there is a simple fact to prove it.

Argentina with Messi and Spain with Xavi, who has better results?

Obviously Spain. Spain, with Xavi, won the 2008 and 2012 European Championships, as well as the 2010 World Cup.

And what about Argentina, which has Messi and also has no shortage of other world-class players?

They can't be more slutty... Let alone the World Cup, they can't even win the America's Cup... In 2007, the champion of the America's Cup was Brazil, and they defeated Argentina in the final.

Argentina, with Messi, won only one football gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

But in the field of adult football, Argentina with Messi has nothing to gain.

Of course, some people will say that Messi in 2007 has not really matured. At that time, he was not the absolute core in Barcelona, ​​and there were many minor injuries and illnesses.

Then let's take a look at Argentina's achievements after Messi matured.

The 2010 World Cup can definitely be regarded as Messi's first international competition after he matured, right?

The results of it?

Argentina, considered to be the favorite to win the championship, lost to the German team in the quarter-finals, and it was a 0:4 big defeat.

You must know that this World Cup is considered by the media and fans to be the World Cup where Messi is crowned king... If he can lead Argentina to the World Cup, he can become the third-generation world champion, which is undisputed.

It was the same every week in 2011, Argentina with Messi didn't even make it to the final...

When Messi monopolized the Ballon d'Or for four consecutive years with his performance in the club, there were different voices for Xavi and Iniesta.

Even in the year when Spain won the World Cup in history, the World Footballer and the Ballon d'Or were awarded to Messi. Messi in that year was just a league champion.

But his teammates Harvey and Iniesta have all these honors, and their contributions to the team are no less than Messi.

Xavi and Iniesta also have World Cup winners.

But who is Messi who can score more than both of them?

The core of Dream Team Three is Harvey.

In the ever-victorious mad dog tactics, there is also a core. Of course, this core is not Falcao, who has won the Serie A Golden Boot and the Champions League Golden Boot in one season, but Modric, who does not score many goals but keeps assisting.

But now that Modric is off due to injury, the core of the Mad Dog tactics is gone.

Changsheng can only activate the spare core, which is Mota.

Why did I buy Mota in the first place?

Isn't it just so that he can stand up when Modric can't fight one day?

Because Motta has organizational skills and was cultivated by the Barcelona youth academy, it is in line with Changsheng's style and tactics, so there will be no adaptation problems.

To be on the safe side at the beginning, Chang Sheng could only let Motta replace Modric in the rotation in unimportant games.

Now that the situation is special, he can only drive the ducks to the shelves.

Chang Sheng, who was crouching on the ground, hoped that Motta would not live up to his expectations, just as Giroud would not live up to his expectations.

He gambled his reputation and face...

If he loses to Manchester United in this game, or even is eliminated by Manchester United, he can guess what those people will say.

He has always been the only one who slaps others in the face, how can he allow others to slap him in the face?

Not to mention Manchester United, which he won in last year's Champions League final.

Even if Manchester United is on the hook now, I want to win!
