Chapter 318: Redknapp's Worries (51/134)

Of course, after this news came out, some people thought it was a gimmick, and some people criticized the Football Association's preparations, obviously playing the Asian Cup, why did they go to Italy to warm up with European teams?

Could it be that the opponents of the Asian Cup are all European teams such as Germany and Spain?

Those who hold opposing opinions also say that the Chinese national team has to travel a long distance, to reverse jet lag, to rest, to recover physical fitness, and how much time is really used to practice tactics in the end? It's really doubtful.

In short, some people are optimistic about this matter, and naturally some people are not optimistic.

Everyone has their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone.

In the end, I can only use the results of the Asian Cup to prove whether this choice is right.

If the Asian Cup is played well, even if the Chinese national team does not train, everyone will think that it is just to let the players rest fully and their physical fitness is guaranteed.

If the Asian Cup is not played well, even if it is the top warm-up plan, it will be a bad warm-up and drag down the team.

Therefore, such a high-profile training camp and warm-up actually put a lot of pressure on Gao Hongbo.

As for the Asian Cup training, the Football Association will never mention it again.

※※※

And Chang Sheng also hopes to help Gao Hongbo and make his results better in the Asian Cup, so that he may not give some domestic guys with ulterior motives a chance.

The main reason for their previous attack on Gao Hongbo was that "the Asian Cup was not played well", but in fact, Gao Hongbo's national team's performance in the Asian Cup was remarkable, and the only game they lost was the match against the host Qatar that was hacked by the referee.

Of course, the sunspots don't care about that. They only need to see that the Chinese national team has not qualified for the Asian Cup, and that is enough.

Now Chang Sheng hopes to help Gao Hongbo erase the only handle that can be caught.

In this way, maybe he can change his life against the sky and continue Gao Hongbo's life until the end of the World Cup qualifiers in Brazil.

After helping Gao Hongbo arrange these things. Chang Sheng has to devote himself to his work again.

The Chinese national team is going to come to Vermello in early December, and there is still half a month to go.

In the thirteenth round of the league, Lazio played Parma away, and three days later it was the Champions League group stage with Twente.

Lazio didn't have a Champions League game because they had it. Just send a lot of substitutes in the league like that.

On the contrary, in the league, Lazio have used a relatively strong line-up.

Because now in the Champions League group stage, after four rounds, Lazio has won four games and four wins, accumulating twelve points.

Tottenham Hotspur are top of the group, with second-placed Tottenham Hotspur just four points and third-placed FC Twente also having four points.

Lazio are eight points behind them.

Such points not only guaranteed Lazio to qualify early, but also to finish first in the group.

So there's no reason for Lazio to continue to spend too much energy in the Champions League.

That's what always wins. Try to use the fastest speed and maximum efficiency to establish a large enough advantage in the early stage. So. In the following games, when other teams are still trying to qualify for the group, or when they are fighting to win the group. Lazio were already able to rotate heavily to give their starters a break. And let more players have the opportunity to play.

Whether it's strategically for the whole season or in a single game, Lazio does that.

Why do they always score first in a game?

This is because everything the winning coaching staff does in training is to get the team to score first.

Score first, put Lazio in a good position, and in the next game, Lazio will be much more comfortable to deal with. In fact, after Lazio took an early lead in the game, few teams on the basis were able to reverse them, because Lazio's style of play was destined to get better and better when they relaxed their mentality.

They will use the pass to turn the opponent around, deplete the opponent's physical energy, and save their vitality to be invincible.

※※※

Although Lazio already have a 10-point lead in the league, Chang Sheng does not consider the margin to be safe, and he wants to lead his opponents as much as possible if possible.

In this way, when the Champions League knockout rounds in the second half of the season are in full swing, he will have enough room to maneuver.

In the match against Parma, Lazio won 1-0 away from home.

Continue to lead the standings by 10 points.

Allegri's AC Milan have been doing well this season, but alas, they have met Lazio.

According to history, they should be the league champions this season.

But now, history has been changed.

※※※

The match between Lazio and Twente, Lazio can not pay attention to it, but some people care a lot.

Ahead of the game, Tottenham Hotspur manager Redknapp suddenly praised Lazio and Wins.

"He is already the number one manager in European football today, and I can't think of anyone who can do it better. Some would say Ferguson. But Ferguson didn't have three Champions League titles...... He's so good, he's so young, he's going to dominate European football for a long time......"

'Lazio are a very strong team and I want them to win the Champions League this season. Although no team has been able to successfully defend the title since the Champions League was restructured, I think this record will always be broken, so why not Lazio? ”

This kind of praise came very suddenly, and no one had heard that Redknapp and Chang Sheng had a good relationship.

So why did Redknapp suddenly tout the ever-winning thing?

Just because of Lazio's home game against Twente.

Tottenham Hotspur and FC Twente are now tied on four points, with Tottenham Hotspur being able to sit ahead of FC Twente and rely entirely on the results of the two sides playing each other, with Tottenham Hotspur temporarily ahead of FC Twente.

But if Twente surpasses them in points. Then the relationship between the two sides is meaningless.

Lazio, on the other hand, have already topped their group ahead of schedule and have every reason to forgo this game.

And take a look at the line-up that won Lazio's away game against Parma: goalkeeper Handanovic, central defenders Jose Passarella and Giellini Chiellini. Barzaretti at left wing-back, Azpilicueta at right, Luka Modric, Ledesma and Ballack in midfield, Klose, David Silva and Gotze up front.

This is Lazio's strongest A line-up.

Lazio does not have a main player and a substitute. So for the sake of convenience, everyone gave a lot of code names, A lineup and B lineup, and what C lineup...... are the most commonly used codes for a feeling.

Such a squad was previously used to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League.

And now they are using it in the league, with a constant win and no rotation of uncomfortable skies, Lazio host Twente, definitely B lineup, or C lineup.

The lineup is different, and it's hard to say how many battles the players have.

Redknapp fears that. Lazio had no intention of fighting in the game. Xingen is not on the game against Twente. The result was a home defeat to FC Twente, and if there was something missing from Tottenham's side...... That's hard to say.

Even Tottenham Hotspur won.

In the final round, Tottenham Hotspur also have to go to challenge Twente away. It wasn't easy to play, and Twente wanted to qualify from the group. It will definitely beat Tottenham Hotspur at home.

In order to avoid such a situation, Tottenham Hotspur boss Redknapp naturally does not want to see Lazio lose at home to FC Twente.

So he had to say something nice about Lazio and Wins. Wear a high hat to Changsheng......

I hope that Chang Sheng can be seen in praising him, not violating sportsmanship, and worthy of his praise......

It's not like he hasn't done anything like this.

Last season, Lazio also won the Champions League group stage one round earlier, and in the last round, Lazio lost 1-2 away to Liverpool. Of course, this did not have any serious consequences.

However, this is somewhat indicative of the fact that the winning team will lose some of the games they deserve to win after completing their goals.

Redknapp had to defend.

※※※

Sure enough, in the match with FC Twente, Chang Sheng sent a B line-up - goalkeeper Mirante, central defenders Pa and Bonucci, left wing-back Coentrão, right wing-back Faraoni, midfielders Meireles, Hernanes and Bresciano, and forwards Rocchi, Candreva and David Silva.

With the exception of David Silva, all the others were players who did not start in the last game.

Although this lineup is not weak, if the players don't take the game seriously, they may still capsize in the gutter.

Compared to the starting line-up, Redknapp is probably more worried about Lazio's attitude to the game.

In this game, Lazio played very relaxed, not particularly anxious, and some opportunities, if not particularly good, they would choose to give up. Without risking injury, you will fight with your opponent.

Twente also knew this was their chance, so they pressed fiercely from the start of the game, forcing Lazio to give up some of the ball.

If they can beat Lazio on the road, they can continue to put pressure on Tottenham Hotspur.

Then in the final round of the group stage, it will face Tottenham Hotspur to the death!

The two games were played at the same time, otherwise Redknapp would have been in front of the TV to watch the game live.

But even if he couldn't watch TV, Redknapp didn't give up on learning about the Lazio and Twente matches.

He had the assistant coach bring him into the dugout, and then he was in charge of listening to the situation over there, and as soon as there was anything new there, he had to notify him immediately.

As a result, for the entire first half, there was no news from there.

Tottenham Hotspur scored two goals in one go to take an early lead, and there was no suspense about winning this game.

As a result, Redknapp cares more about the situation of the Lazio and Twente matches.

His own mind wasn't even on his own.

At half-time, he simply arranged the second half and hid to the side to watch the highlights of the first half between Lazio and FC Twente with his assistant coach.

After reading it, his brow furrowed.

Seems to have failed to tout?

Lazio didn't play at a fast pace in the game, and the players were relaxed and relaxed too much.

Is Lazio really going to release water?

He's probably quite ...... Because in the group stage, that is, their own Tottenham Hotspur caused some problems for Lazio, if Lazio wants to minimize the threat after qualifying, they must be the strongest Tottenham Hotspur in the group stage......

The more Redknapp thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

If Lazio did lose at home to FC Twente in the end, they would never have bypassed the usual wins!

At that point, the previous tout will turn into merciless criticism!

※※※

Since the start of the second half, Redknapp has been absent-minded on the sidelines, his mind full of Lazio and FC Twente.

Even when Tottenham scored the third goal, he didn't get up from his seat.

It wasn't until the seventieth minute that the assistant coach excitedly threw down the radio and shouted at Redknapp: "Lazio has scored!" ”

Redknapp was like a rebirth.

He pressed his heart and sat down in his chair.

Although he only scored one goal, with what he knows about Lazio, as long as they are in the lead, few other teams can turn them back, and Twente do not have the ability to do so.

Redknapp breathed a sigh of relief and now he can celebrate his team's 3-0.

As a result, FC Twente lost to Lazio and Tottenham won to stretch the gap to three points, and in the final game, Tottenham Hotspur would qualify from the group as long as they drew away from Twente. And even if you lose, as long as you don't lose more than three goals, it won't affect qualifying.

Tottenham Hotspur's chances of qualifying have increased dramatically!
