Chapter 116: The End of the Season

ps: Ask for a monthly pass! Keep the number one spot on the list!

The opponents are strong, but we who can confront them head-on... are even stronger! ! !

Pacheco's article is so influential, how could Chang Sheng not have read it?

In fact, Chang Sheng has read every article written by Pacheco that blackmails him.

Of course, this is not because Chang Sheng has a tendency to be masochistic, he is an m.

It's because you need to know yourself and the enemy to be able to win every battle.

He had to understand what nonsense Pacheco said, so that he could pump him accurately enough to hit his sore spot the next time he saw him.

After Chang Sheng read this article, he laughed.

A lot of numbers are listed throughout the article, which looks very professional and technical, but in fact the logic is very confusing.

How can a soccer game be such a simple math game?

It is normal for a team to have ups and downs, because players have ups and downs, and players are the basic unit of a team.

The current underestimation does not prove that it will be underestimated in the future, otherwise those players who perform poorly will have to go downhill.

But obviously this is impossible.

After Ronaldo was seriously injured twice, everyone thought his career was over, but he came back tenaciously, and in the 2002 World Cup, he led the Brazilian national team to the World Cup championship, and he himself was awarded the World Cup's top scorer and best player.

Bayern Munich seemed to go downhill when they beat Manchester United in that famous Champions League final at the Nou Camp in 1999, but then they beat Valencia on penalties in 2000 to win the Champions League .

Milan was reversed by Liverpool in the 2005 Champions League final, and Liverpool won their fifth Champions League title in club history. And Milan has become the laughing stock of the whole of Europe. As long as the big reversal is mentioned, people will think of Milan as the background emperor. Immediately after the Calciopoli incident in 2006, they were penalized to start the new season. The team's top scorer, Golden Globe Mr. Shevchenko also moved away. Milan also seems to be going downhill.

However, under the outbreak of Kaka, Milan completed its revenge against Liverpool in 2007 and won the UEFA Champions League undisputedly that season.

...

These examples all illustrate the point that the temporary trough of a team or player has nothing to do with their future achievements.

It is really stupid to try to predict the future of the team by analyzing the previous data.

But there is a market for this kind of argument.

For the majority of fans, it seems that the author is very profound by listing the numbers. Very knowledgable.

But in fact, these data can only prove the past and cannot predict the future.

Because football games are unpredictable, not just a game, but also a season.

Then Chang Sheng fought back when he was interviewed by reporters.

At the team's regular press conference in midweek, Chang Sheng told reporters: "Football is not a mathematical game, so Mr. Pacheco who doesn't understand this can only be a reporter. But I am the best champion in Europe." Coach! That's the difference between me and Mr. Pacheco."

Pacheco wrote 2,000 words eloquently, and listed data again. It was analytical again, Chang Sheng refuted him but only used a few short sentences, and even refuted so much that Pacheco couldn't reply.

Because even if Pacheco lists all the statistics, it can't change the fact that Chang Sheng is the most successful head coach.

With so many champions standing there, it can prove the ability to win often.

And besides playing tricks and pens, what other trump card does Pacheco have? His lack of convincing grades makes it impossible that he is a reporter. Not the head coach. But it is this difference in identity that puts him at a disadvantage in the war of words with Chang Sheng.

Now Chang Sheng is directly pressing him with honor and status. In Pacheco's view, it is a very unskilled thing. Two people quarreled, and the one who couldn't quarrel shouted: "I'm xxxx. Who the hell are you?"

This is simply a trick used by villains.

But because of this, Pacheco will be particularly upset.

Because Chang Sheng's simple and rude approach made him unable to refute...

Unless he can prove that Chang Sheng is not the best championship coach.

But how could it not be?

His ability to win so many championships proves his ability.

Secondly, he also led a development trend of football tactics. It was he who carried forward the original taka, and was recognized by everyone in terms of tactical innovation.

FIFA officials have said that Chang Sheng has redefined the sport of football, especially his practice of placing the playmaker behind.

With such a high evaluation, if you insist on saying that he was not an excellent champion coach all his life, you are talking nonsense and no one will support you.

In the face of strong Changsheng, Pacheco's best choice is to remain silent.

It's just that this practice of holding back internal injuries made Pacheco very upset.

Now he can only wait until next season, as long as Lazio loses the league championship, he can laugh at this "excellent champion coach" to his heart's content.

The last round of the league is Juventus vs. Lazio at home.

This game made Juventus very unhappy, because they had to line up to welcome the league champion Lazio before the game!

For Juventus, this is simply... a shame!

The feud between them and Lazio is really one after another, and it is endless.

At the last moment of the 2005-2006 season, Juventus beat Lazio at home to win the championship ahead of schedule.

As a result, they were attacked by Lazio and lost the game. Although they won the championship in the end, they postponed a round and did not step on the corpse of their opponent who had been fighting with them for a season. I've been brooding about it ever since.

In the 2007-2008 season, the first season in which Juventus was promoted, it was even more excessive. What Juventus wanted to do but failed to do, let Lazio complete it! They defeated Juventus away in the thirty-fifth round of the league and won the league championship three rounds ahead of schedule!

The tension between the two sides is really getting bigger and bigger.

to this season. Just let Juventus line up to welcome Lazio!

This is really... totally unbearable!

But who told them that Juventus couldn't gain the upper hand every time they confronted each other?

If they can beat Lazio in the first half of the season, maybe the current league champion is not Lazio.

There are many ifs.

In fact, they had enough chances to take revenge, but it was a pity that they failed every time... Who can blame this?

※※※

Despite a hundred reluctances, the Juventus players still had to stand in two rows at home in the last round of the league. Applause for Lazio, champions of the league!

In the stands, there were overwhelming boos from Juventus fans.

The Lazio players walked between the two rows of Juventus players with their heads held high, and some people raised their hands and waved to the fans in the stands!

Doesn't he know that they are all Juventus fans?

Of course, what he can get is definitely not cheers, but even bigger boos...

Before this game, Juventus accumulated 71 points and still led Fiorentina by three points. However, because the relationship between Juventus and Fiorentina is one win and one tie, Juventus has the upper hand. So no matter how Juventus played against Lazio in this game, it will not affect Juventus' fourth place in the league. Qualified for the Champions League.

Therefore, Juventus was already underpowered in this game, and coupled with the impact of the welcome line, it was even more demoralizing.

In this game, Lazio beat Juventus 1-0 in the away game, ending this troubled season with a victory.

This season, under the influence of many main core players injured and absent for a long time, they still won the first place in the league.

Although the number of goals is indeed much less, he only scored 69 goals after playing the whole season.

This number of goals can only be ranked third. But it is only one less than the Milan duo. Both Milan and Inter Milan have 70 goals.

In fact, Pacheco played a little trick. If you don't analyze it carefully, you will indeed think that Lazio's goals are declining sharply.

But he is a vertical comparison, what about a horizontal comparison?

Lazio's goals are still at the top level in Serie A. It can only be said that Lazio in the past few seasons is really against the sky, he is abnormal.

Before that, they would lead the team with the second most goals by more than a dozen goals every season.

Now even if their attack power has dropped, it is still not a problem to dominate in Serie A. It may only be the Champions League that is affected.

In addition, Lazio has made a huge improvement this season. That's defense.

When Lazio faced Inter Milan for the first time this season, Inter Milan was the team with the fewest conceded goals in Serie A, while Lazio was the second least, only one more than Inter Milan.

But when the season ended, Lazio became the best defensive team in the entire Serie A. They only conceded 23 goals in 38 league rounds, an average of only 0.6 goals per game.

And the second-best defense, Inter Milan, which is said to be good at defensive counterattacks and trained by Mourinho, conceded 32 goals, and Lazio conceded 9 goals less than them.

In the whole of Europe, Lazio also has the best defense in the five major leagues.

United are second best, with 24 goals conceded, one more than Lazio.

At the same time, why Lazio can still win the league championship with so many fewer goals, their tenacious and solid defense played a vital role.

Lazio's defense has indeed improved rapidly this season, especially the growth of Chiellini and Bonucci, making them two reliable central defenders.

Lazio's backup central defenders were Campagnaro and Christen before.

These two central defenders must be much better than those two in terms of ability.

So even if Jose Passarella and Francisco Pavon rotate, there is no need to worry about the quality of the defense dropping.

Chiellini and Bonucci are the main central defender combination of Juventus and the Italian national team in later generations.

Now such a powerful central defender combination has let me use it as Lazio's substitute!

Just thinking about it, Chang Sheng felt that he was too extravagant and reckless!

But isn't this the advantage of being a time traveler?
