When Chang Sheng led the team from Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport to Manchester, Gao Hongbo also took a flight from Rome to Beijing, China.

Chang wins to the west, he to the east.

From then on, the heavens were separated.

But this Lazio study experience may remain in Gao Hongbo's heart forever and become his most precious memory.

When the plane took off, Gao Hongbo put down the small table and began to write and draw on the paper, thinking about how to deal with the leaders of the Football Association.

He is full of expectations for the upcoming national football coach recruitment, which is a yearning for a new life.

On the plane to Manchester, some instructors surprised that Gao Hongbo did not come.

"Why isn't Gao on the plane? Shouldn't he have gone to Manchester with him too? ”

Asked and asked, and it came to the head of Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng shrugged: "He went back to compete for the head coach of the Chinese national team." It won't come in the future. ”

The coaches were not sad about anything, they just whistled and blessed Gao Hongbo.

"The coach of the national team! Sounds so cool! ”

"Amazing, Gao is already going to be the coach of the national team!"

"Is the head coach of the Chinese national team very powerful, Chang?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? If you think about how many people there are in China, and how many people can coach a team in a country with such a population, it must be very powerful! ”

Chang Sheng listened to their discussions, crying and laughing.

The Chinese population naturally has a large population, but a large population does not mean that the level of football is high.

In the eyes of these coaches, Gao Hongbo can be the head coach of the Chinese national team, which should be a career progress and a great future.

But only Chang Sheng knew in his heart that it was a fire pit, and it was by no means a paradise.

When the plane landed at Manchester Airport, Chang Sheng had already come out of Gao Hongbo's farewell mood.

Now he has come here to be a conqueror.

at the airport. Lazio received a "warm welcome" from the media.

As they walked out of the airport, reporters who had been waiting for a long time swarmed up and surrounded them.

Among them, Changsheng is naturally the center of the encirclement.

Countless microphones reached out to him, and countless questions were thrown at him.

Chang Sheng had no intention of stopping, and the reporters fought and retreated.

"Often, often, does Lazio really have a chance to turn the tables away from home?"

Chang Sheng replied as he walked: "It's a wrong word, it's Manchester United, not us, who should be considered for a comeback." Note that now Lazio is the leading side! ”

"Ferguson says he already has a way to deal with Lazio, do you have any comment?"

"If you have it, take it out."

"Bookmakers' odds aren't optimistic about your ......"

"Then you go buy Lazio now to win. You're sure to make a lot of money! ”

"Luka Modric is injured, Ledesma is suspended, how will you arrange the line-up......"

"Don't try to set my starting lineup."

In this way, the reporters surrounded Chang Sheng until the front of the bus.

Chang Sheng stood by the car to be interviewed by reporters. The players got on board.

When everyone was in the car, Chang Sheng jumped on the door, then turned to the reporters and said, "Bring a message to Sir Alex Ferguson for me and ask him if he is ready." ”

Then the doors closed, the bus whistled to disperse the reporters, and slowly drove away from the airport.

※※※

"Of course I'm ready." Ferguson answered reporters' questions at his pre-match press conference. "He always looks confident. It's a good thing and I'm looking forward to a great game. ”

"Mr. Ferguson, you said you already had a way to deal with Lazio. Can you tell ......?" a reporter asked, raising his hand.

Ferguson looked at him with a neurotic look until he looked at him and sat down again.

Ferguson nodded: "Very good, I have already answered you." ”

The old man is also very arrogant......

The journalist asked questions that were just too idiotic, if Ferguson was just bluffing. Didn't he say it revealing that he was actually helpless? If Ferguson really had a way, it would be even more impossible to say it.

Of course. It's not the first time the journalist has been so idiotic, and right at the airport, he also asked Chang Sheng about the starting lineup.

Chang Sheng treated him much more gently than Ferguson.

At least Chang Sheng didn't taunt him with a poisonous tongue.

But was there anything Ferguson could do about it?

How could there be?

He did know what tactics and starting line-up Chang Sheng would use against Manchester United, and his scouts gave him a video of the game, very detailed scouting angles.

The video he wanted to watch was on the disc.

The problem is that he knows what Lazio is going to do, but he doesn't have time to make a detailed and targeted arrangement, he can only arrange one big problem.

Because he only has three days...... That's a short amount of time.

It's too late to adjust tactics or anything.

He can only respond to change with the same.

At the same time, it can also be seen from the match between Lazio and Roma that Lazio is not very skilled in this set of tactics.

So as long as their team can put enough pressure on them, they may end up in chaos......

Anyway, it is Manchester United's home stadium, and Lazio will have a lot of difficulty playing away from home, plus a new tactic......

Ferguson still feels that he has a better chance of winning than Lazio.

Lazio went to Old Trafford that evening to acclimatise to the pitch, and it was also at this time that the winning pre-match press conference was held.

In the pre-match press conference, Chang Sheng still did not reveal anything of value.

Although his stuff was shown in the game against Roma, he didn't need to make a big show about it.

So in the eyes of reporters, Chang Sheng will only shout slogans such as "we are here to pursue victory" and "we will definitely eliminate Manchester United", but there is not even any dry goods, what else will there be except for mouth cannons?

But if you want to eliminate Manchester United, in such an extremely unfavorable situation, it will not work with words alone.

Of course, these people will only see the words, because the effort and everything that Chang Sheng has done will not directly tell them "what I have done".

Generally speaking, Kung Fu is before the game. The arrangement and adjustment of a match was done in the pre-match training. The preparation for this match started from the moment the last match ended.

If there are ten minutes left before the start of the game, and then the tactics are laid out at length, then such a manager must be unqualified. Therefore, before the game, the head coach usually chooses to say something to boost morale, even if the tactics are arranged, it is just a review, and it is very simple, not too much.

But doing so will be considered by some people as a verbal outburst, but in fact, a coach's real effort is in daily training, which is inconspicuous. No one will pay attention either.

Chang Sheng naturally doesn't mind others treating him as a mouth coach, because in this way he can hide his true things.

It's a shame though, except for some ignorant media and fans who do it. Insiders who really know the ball don't think he's a mouthpiece.

A manager who can come up with mad dog tactics and sweep Europe with it, if it's a mouthpiece...... Then there is no second one in European football today that is not a mouthpiece......

※※※

On the day of the match, the media began to follow the match from noon. But you know, the real game starts at 7:45 p.m.......

Today's weather isn't too good. From the morning, it started to rain in Manchester, it was not very heavy, but it made the venue slippery.

That's why the equipment manager has specially prepared spike sneakers.

Chang Sheng felt that his match with Manchester United was really related to the rain......

For teams that are good at playing on the ground, rain will add to the difficulty because the field is slippery. The strength of the pass will also be difficult to control, and it will also lead to frequent active mistakes such as slipping.

It's bad enough, and Chang Sheng doesn't mind getting any worse.

Anyway, if there are more lice, don't bite.

In addition, Chang Sheng has a very strong belief in his heart - no matter how bad. What an unfavorable situation, Lazio must win this game! Manchester United must be knocked out!

It's about the dignity of the European champions!

※※※

As the team drove to Old Trafford en masse, it was raining a little heavily, hitting the windows of the car and pulling a downward line of water. The windows were all slashed lines.

The lights outside the window were a little hazy by the water droplets.

There was also the hazy faces of the Manchester United fans.

When they see Lazio buses passing by, they will demonstratively boo.

All the way. Almost all of these unfriendly United fans even make one wonder if it was deliberately arranged to put pressure on Lazio's players.

※※※

During the warm-up, the rain was a little lighter, but the players' clothes were still soaked.

When they returned, everyone was busy changing out of their wet clothes, drying them with a towel, and then changing into dry jerseys.

So that you don't catch a cold.

While they were doing this, Chang Sheng began to make the final mobilization.

"I don't have to repeat to you how bad it is, guys. What have we been training so hard for the past week? You are also very clear. Public opinion in the outside world is one-sided and optimistic about Manchester United...... But do you remember what I said to you at halftime in the last round? Even if the whole world doesn't look down on us, and everyone thinks we're finished, we're going to start fighting back! The Jedi Counterattack is not just that half, this game is also part of the Jedi Counterattack! In the last round, we withstood their surging attack on our own doorstep, and now it's our turn to fight back and push the offensive to their doorstep! Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of Manchester United fans, tear them apart alive! ”

'In this game, no matter what the difficulties are, even if they are ahead of us again, even if they score at the beginning of the game...... We're going to win too! Because if we don't win, then all the hard work and sweat we have put in in these seven days will be meaningless! And don't worry, guys, we're going to win! Because we are more desperate than our opponents! All the sweat we shed will shine in this game! I believe that God rewards hard work! As long as we are willing to play with our lives, it will be heaven! Make way for us too! ”

Chang Sheng said, pointing above his head.
