It's just that they didn't win two games in the league and were eliminated in the Coppa Italia. But if you follow the media coverage, you think that Lazio will fall apart tomorrow.

This is public opinion.

Public opinion can't actually hurt you, but it can imperceptibly affect people.

Chang Sheng himself ignored the media because he knew that the media would not affect him.

But he can't expect his players to be the same as him, and he can ignore public opinion.

Therefore, the media hype and coverage will affect the performance and results of the team through the mentality of the players.

In this matter, Chang Sheng can no longer sit idly by.

Pacheco wouldn't have known, in fact he gave Chang Win a chance to fight back.

If he just dwells on Lazio's financial problems, Chang Sheng really doesn't have much to say.

But when Pacheco got carried away and was about to fight Chang Sheng from the team's results, he gave Chang Sheng a great chance to fight back.

Since you've drawn all your firepower to my grades, I'm going to use them to slap you in the face!

I'm the best at this!

First, though, the locker room must be stabilized.

What to take to stabilize the locker room?

Money?

It's impossible, you can't tell the players that you all renew your contracts, the club can definitely meet your salary requirements?

The club's finances are absolutely unaffordable.

Like in Getafe, talk about feelings, talk about ideals, talk about love?

It's useless. This is Lazio, no matter how down-and-out it is, it is also a Serie A team, saying these vain things, the players don't like to hear them, they will only feel that Chang Sheng is lying to them and using them.

In fact, there have been media reports recently that Changsheng is using these players. Exploiting young people, taking advantage of their youthful ignorance and eagerness to play in the first division, desperately trying to drive down their annual salaries. One person said maybe it didn't work. But if there are too many people talking about it, it will inevitably leave such an impression in the hearts of the players.

Therefore, Chang Sheng can no longer use ethereal things to make players sell his life.

So what to do?

It's very simple, just let the players do their best for themselves.

Let them know that playing hard is good for you, not for the club. It's good for him to always win. In this way, the subjective initiative of the players can be fully mobilized, so that they are willing to put aside their differences for a while and work together.

Secondly, there has to be a very clear goal. Let these players know which direction to work into. There are real benefits to playing so hard.

Prior to that, Lazio lacked a clear goal.

Although the pre-season wins say that we are going to defend the league title.

But the league championship is so easy to win, everyone is a little lacking in motivation.

In half a season, he led his opponent by seven points.

Another important reason is that the league championship has lost its novelty for this group of players. It doesn't stimulate these people.

They're the ones who have won the league once. Speaking of which, they will always have the honour of domestic league champions on their resumes.

It's easy to be satisfied. Although there are also those who want to successfully defend their title. But not everyone will work so hard for a championship that they have already won.

You have to find a goal that is not so easy to achieve, always give the players motivation, and at the same time it has to be attractive enough that if it's too unremarkable, people won't be interested.

It's like a carrot on a stick. Always hanging on a rope and dangling in front of the donkey, attracting the donkey to keep chasing the carrots.

The analogy is a bit vulgar. But that's exactly what happened.

The team is like a donkey with little motivation, like lying in the mud and rolling in the mud, and then falling asleep comfortably.

And if Chang Sheng only used a whip, the donkey might kick himself in anger.

So the only way to win is to use the carrot to attract the donkey's attention and let it get out of the quagmire on its own and move on.

Every team will face such a problem, and Chang Sheng doesn't feel that there is anything to be forced to do.

The "Dream Three" Barcelona will have such a situation, let alone their own team?

The key is how to solve the problem?

Guardiola chose to be sensible, retreating in the most glorious moments, leaving a mess for his successor. In this way, even if Barcelona performs badly and plummets, it will not affect its reputation.

It's a smart thing to do.

But Chang Sheng couldn't pick his son and leave.

He chose a different approach.

Swimming against the current, he wants to accomplish what others think is impossible.

※※※

The carrot that Chang Sheng found for the donkeys of Lazio was the Champions League.

But it's not a rhetoric like "we're going to go one step further in the Champions League" and "we're going to go further in the Champions League".

What he throws will be a bombshell!

At the end of a training session, the players were all the winners

Summoned up.

Then I plan to talk openly and honestly with them about recent events.

It is useless to pretend to be deaf and dumb to escape.

If you want to win the support of the players, you have to be sincere.

'I think you've heard about it lately, for a while, we were the target of the crowd, Lazio was stormy, it seemed like it was going to end at any moment, and we didn't do well on the pitch, so we were eliminated from the Coppa Italia and our lead in the league went from seven points to two points now. The situation is unfavorable, guys. And I have to admit that some of the media are right - if you want to get more than two million euros a year from the club, it's going to be very difficult. ”

Hearing Chang Sheng say this, the coaches next to him all looked at him in surprise - how can a head coach say such a thing? Although this is true, you admit it, isn't it very demoralizing?

Sure enough, the expressions on the players' faces as they looked at Chang Sheng changed.

At first, there were some people who had illusions.

I feel that the team's results are good, maybe this rule that the annual salary must not exceed two million euros will also become obsolete, and it is time to change. There's never been a better time.

Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng poured a basin of cold water on them, which disappointed them.

Chang Sheng naturally saw their disappointed and surprised looks.

He continued: "I'm sorry, it's true. Of course, I can also deceive you, saying that when this game is over, we will talk about a new contract, and we will definitely meet your requirements or something. Then when the season is over, love will do whatever it wants. But I can't do that. Our cooperation is based on mutual trust. Now I will make it clear to you. Everyone knows the financial situation of the club, so why do we have a maximum annual salary of two million? Because we can't afford a higher salary budget. That's something that every player who comes into the team should know. This standard will not change until we pay off our debts, no matter who it is, no matter how famous he is, how good his performance is, I'm sorry, we can't change the salary package of more than two million. ”

There is a coach who wants to stop Chang Sheng, and he feels that if Chang Sheng is allowed to continue like this, Lazio's morale may fall to the bottom.

However, this kind of interruption of Chang Sheng in front of all the players is too bad for Chang Sheng.

So he had to pull the assistant coach Rudy. Gonzalez's arm, motioning for him to stop Tsuneki.

Rudy's relationship with Chang Sheng is not trivial, and the Lazio coach thinks that if Rudi had stepped in, Chang Sheng would not have lost his temper.

But Rudy. Gonzalez shook his head: "No, no. You won't have any problem saying that often. ”

The coach looked at Rudy in amazement and thought to himself that both of them were crazy.

He turned his attention to another coach, Pep Guardiola.

Pep Guardiola smiled at him: "There's always a reason for saying that. ”

The coach finally gave up......

Chang Sheng continues to open up to his players.

"I know some of you feel like you can get a higher salary, more than two million a year. No problem, it's your freedom. But what I want to say is that as long as you are still my team and you are still Lazio players, you have to listen to me, train and play well for me, and do your best for Lazio's victory! ”

Chang Sheng raised his volume, which was completely different from the temperament of the previous "intimate brother".

"If you think Lazio is paying you less than you pay, you don't want to play for the club. If you're smart, you should know that it's not really a club fight. You're fighting for yourself. Even if you're going to transfer, if you're going to get a big contract, won't your buyers look at your performance? Based on your broken performances in these few games, do you think you can still get a contract of several millions? ”

"I know the club can't give you too much money, and it's normal for you to have grievances because of this, and it's okay for you to find a way for yourself in private - I mean seriously, everyone has the right to choose, choose to go or stay, the power is yours, I won't interfere in any way, even if one of you decides to leave, I won't put him in the cold. When Gianni Keida's contract with the club expired, he chose not to renew it, and I knew about it half a season in advance, and then he was beaten into the cold? ”

"But I think even if you are going to transfer, you should know that you have to work hard to show yourself so that you can earn a big contract from your new club! Now, I'm giving you a chance. An opportunity not for me, not for the club, but for yourselves. This is the time to rewrite your fate, folks. It's something that really makes a name for itself. I ask you...... Do you like the Champions League? ”

The Lazio coach, who was still talking and shaking his head, suddenly raised his head and looked at Chang Sheng with a look of surprise.

Like him, across from him, there was the same group of Lazio players with surprised faces!
