Chapter 52: I've Disappointed You (Second Update)

It is not clear whether the media is praising the winning team with the intention of killing, but there are indeed many people who hope that the young Lazio will lose their sense of normalcy because of the media touting, and thus lose the game.

And among these people is the media.

So after the national team match, the media continued to praise the Lazio players, and this time they praised the fact that many Lazio players have the quality to be selected for the national team, and they called on the managers of the national team to recruit these Lazio players into the national team in the next national team match

That's what Lazio's young players are looking for.

If it weren't for that dog, the Lazio players probably didn't have the heart to train well and were looking forward to the call of the national team.

But those who want Lazio to be killed must not have imagined that Chang Sheng solved this problem with a dog.

※※※

On November 20, in the twelfth round of the league, Lazio challenged Sampdoria away.

Sampdoria are considered a mid-table team, finishing eighth after eleven league games.

Because it's an away game, it's honestly not an easy game to play.

Coupled with the two-week break in between, it's hard to say how the players are doing

In addition, the hype and praise from the media will definitely have an impact on Lazio, so this game is a lot of luck for Lazio!

Chang Sheng expressed his concern and dissatisfaction with the media's blind praise of Lazio before the game.

"We're not Juventus or Milan, so it's not a good thing for me to praise us so much. I hope the media will be honest that Lazio is just getting started and there are still a lot of issues to be solved. It seems to me that these praises are killing us now! ”

Chang Sheng's tone was stern, hoping that the media would not continue to praise Lazio.

But no media will do that.

And even what did they do more? Changsheng hates us praising Lazio? Okay. Then we will continue to praise! Whatever we hate, we have to do! Whatever we are not allowed to do, we will do!

So before the match against Sampdoria, the media was overwhelmingly optimistic about Lazio, believing that although it was an away game, Lazio would definitely be able to beat Sampdoria.

Even Sampdoria's head coach Novellino couldn't stand it.

He also felt that the praise of Lazio in the media was no longer normal.

"If my team is praised like that by the media. In my opinion, it was a disaster. I would refuse to let the players be interviewed by the media and protect them by staying away from the media. ”

At the pre-match press conference, Sampdoria manager Walter Murphy was remarked. Novellino said.

This embarrassed the media a bit.

They can't say, "We're helping you win!" ”

As a result, his well-wishers did not accept it......

You deserve to lose!

You deserve to be eighth!

※※※

Against Sampdoria, unlike the giants who have multiple players in their squad playing in the national team, Lazio can field almost all of their main players.

The difference in strength between the two teams is actually quite large.

In the end, Lazio beat Sampdoria 2-0 away!

Win six in a row in the league!

Of course, that's not the point. The focus is on the process of the game.

Lazio's players didn't look tired or absent-minded during the game.

The scenes that those who had hoped for Lazio were not there, such as "Lazio players are proud and underestimated" and "Lazio players are burned out and lax".

On the contrary, Lazio's players are very busy and show no sign of being praised by the media.

This has surprised many people, could it be that the hearts of Lazio's young players have matured to such a terrifying level? Can you win without being arrogant or discouraged?

It's impossible...... After all, they were just a bunch of young people in their early twenties. Not to mention them, even many 30-year-old veterans will inevitably make such mistakes, how did Lazio do it?

With a belly full of questions, the media gathered in the mixed area after the match to interview every passing Lazio player.

Their questions are all "what keeps your morale so high".

In response, Lazio's players unanimously said: "Our new manager! ”

But who exactly and how they did it, the Lazio players are silent. No matter how familiar the journalist is. None of them said.

It's not that Changsheng asks them to keep it secret, Changsheng has never made such a request. It's that they themselves don't want to say. Because it's so embarrassing to talk about it, they were chased by a dog, and they worked as hard as if they had taken a drug in training......

Journalists did not get a satisfactory answer from the Lazio players, who laid siege to the winning man in their post-match press conference.

"What makes them work so hard?" Chang Sheng looked at the reporters in the audience and felt that this question was very strange. "Isn't that normal? As a professional footballer, they should keep their fighting spirit high at all times and in all places. Train hard and compete. What's there to ask about this. There is no reason, if there is one reason at all, it is the sense of honor and the desire to succeed that are deeply rooted in their hearts. ”

Chang Sheng's answer made many reporters boo him in their hearts.

"Load! You reload! ”

Finally, a reporter couldn't help but stand up and ask: "But it's not easy to keep them calm when the media is so touted, so how did you do it?" ”

As soon as he said this, he asked. got a lot of angry eyes from many people: Damn! No one speaks when you're dumb! Did you sell your teammates like that?

Chang Sheng burst out laughing, and the laughter echoed at the press conference and in everyone's hearts.

Chang Sheng really laughed happily, because he had never seen such a stupid reporter!

He told the truth!

He laughed for a full minute, and with each second of the minute, the reporters' faces became more ugly.

Then he stopped laughing, just like the face change of Sichuan opera, he suddenly said to the reporters with a dark face: "I just think there is something wrong with this sudden touting, look." You don't call yourselves any more. I know there are people who want us to lose, but I'm sorry whoever wants us to lose, we've let you down. ”

As for how he kept the team motivated and focused, he still didn't give an answer.

※※※

The reporters were still quite strong, and after two days. They finally found out the secret of why winning keeps players focused and not arrogant.

The secret is a dog!

Yes, a dog!

This is what Lazio players call the "new coach......

In fact, Lazio's players did show slackness in training, and the winning and coaching staff did suffer from this.

It seems that the media's plan almost succeeded.

But then there is a great reversal of God's turn!

Chang Sheng, he didn't know where to get a dog!

He even had a dog to be the team's new coach and teach the players how to train!

Chased by a vicious dog, apparently no one dared to steal jiān and play slippery.

The dog only spent two days in the team and completely cured the players' slackness.

Because Chang Sheng has said it. If he is shown to see who is lazy in training in the future, then their "new coach" will reappear in front of them and train with them.

Under such a threat, who would dare to be lazy?

So the media sounded the nickname that Chang Sheng earned in Spain.

"Tyrant"!

Let the dog bite its own player...... This is really a "tyrant" act!

When the inside story of Lazio's "secret training" was exposed, it immediately attracted the attention of all Italy.

There have been calls for the players' union to step in and punish Chang Cheng because of the risk of injury to players.

And the Society for the Protection of Small Animals also came forward to accuse Chang Sheng of using dogs to do inhumane things, which is forcing dogs to harm humans. At the same time, it makes humans hate dogs even more.

These criticisms don't even have to come forward often, and naturally someone will defend him.

The first person to stand up and speak for Chang Sheng was José, Chang Sheng's most loyal "lackey". Passarella. "I don't think it's going to hurt us? Obina was very intelligent, he was a good dog, and although he looked fierce, he didn't actually hurt anyone, even a little bit of skin...... None of them. Those who are worried about being bitten by a dog, can try it for themselves. I think even if he was so scared that he peed his pants. I don't actually get bitten into it......"

Chang Sheng didn't see it, usually a serious, serious Jose. There's a bad side to Passarella......

The next person to defend Chang is the club's president, Lotito: "We have full trust in Chang, and he has earned this trust with his actions, so it will not disappear easily. Using dogs to train players? I gotta say the idea was so creative...... When he asked me to introduce him to a dog trainer. I at least thought he was going to have a dog, and now it seems that that's why I can't be a successful manager and he can......"

Then Luciano, the dog trainer, also stood up to speak for Chang Sheng: "Someone questioned my dog? Then he's really the biggest fool in the world! My dog is absolutely docile and obedient and will never bite for no reason, unless you want to kill him! Second, my dog is absolutely smart, he understands every command I make, and he does whatever I tell him to do. Thirdly, those organizations that use the banner of protecting small animals are made up of a bunch of idiots! ”

With so many people defending Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng found that he didn't have to say anything.

So he buried his head and continued his work.

In midweek, Lazio beat visiting Heerenveen 1-0 at home to make it two wins in a row in the group stage of the UEFA Cup.

In the following weekend's league game, Chang Sheng replaced all the starting line-up that had played two games in a row and used a group of substitutes to take on Empoli away. In the end, he defeated his opponent 2:1.

After this game, Lazio's main players, who had been resting for one game, started again, and they went to Bulgaria to challenge Sofia Levsky.

The result was a 2-0 win away to Sofia Levski, with three wins and nine points from three games, and with only one round of games remaining, Lazio have already qualified early.

The opponents in the same group, the Moscow zhōngyāng army and the Bucharest Dynamo have four points, and the zhōngyāng army is already out of competition. Dynamo Bucharest have one game left, and even if they beat Lazio in the end, they will only have seven points.

As for Heerenveen with two points and Sofia Levski with three points, that's not to mention.

It's not worth mentioning at all.
