The next day, Chang Sheng met Di Matteo in a suit in Vermelo.

He offered to reach out to Di Matteo: "Welcome back, Robert. ”

The reason why Chang Sheng says this is because Di Matteo used to be a member of Lazio.

Di Matteo is an Italian player, but he is Swiss. He was born in Switzerland, and since his parents were Italians, he later became an Italian citizen.

He started his career in the Swiss league before moving to Lazio in 1993.

In 1994, Lazio was coached by Czech coach Zeman, and Lazio at that time and Lazio today had a similar football philosophy, insisting on attacking football.

Because Zeman is a coach known for his adherence to attacking football, in Lazio Zeman, like Chang Win, also uses the 433 formation. Di Matteo was placed by Zeman as the playmaker of the midfield and appeared in the middle.

Although the Lazio team didn't have a good result and didn't win any weighty championships, it was really good-looking.

Di Matteo sits in the middle, Dutch International Owente and former Milan player Fosse are separated, and the three strikers are the famous Signori, Casira and Boksic.

At that time, Lazio often played all kinds of big scores, such as 7:1 against Forggia, 8:2 against Fiorentina, 6:3 against Sampdoria, 5:1 against Napoli......

Di Matteo played a big part in it.

Later, Di Matteo transferred to Chelsea, and the transfer fee of $6.8 million was the largest transfer fee for Chelsea at the time.

At Chelsea, Di Matteo reached the pinnacle of his career. However, due to serious injuries, he finally announced his retirement in 2002.

Twelve years have passed since he left Lazio.

Now he's finally back.

Di Matteo was also touched when he heard the first opening sentence of Chang Sheng.

Although Chelsea was his most successful club career. But Lazio made him a world-class player.

He also has a lot of affection for Lazio.

When he left Lazio in 1996, Lazio fans even surrounded the club's headquarters, demanding that the transfer contract be cancelled.

He really didn't expect to be able to return to Lazio.

"I heard Mr. Chairman say that you named me to be an assistant coach, Mr. Chang?" Di Matteo asked.

Chang Sheng nodded: "Yes, Guardiola is gone, I need a good assistant coach, and then I thought of you immediately." ”

"But why did you choose me? I didn't have any coaching experience at all before that......"

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and he realized that he had made a mistake.

He chose Di Matteo according to the ideas of those who came before. But for Di Matteo himself. And for everyone at this time, no one knew that he could lead Chelsea to the first Champions League title in the club's history as a firefighting coach.

"Uh......" is fortunate to be victorious, and he is always quick. "Because you are one of the most successful players in Lazio's history, I believe you can help Lazio as you did on the pitch, except now that you are moving the work from the pitch to the training ground," he said immediately. ”

Chang Sheng looked at Di Matteo with a sincere face.

"Lazio was reborn from the ruins. We need someone like you with the Blue Eagle genes, Robert. ”

Di Matteo was embarrassed by this, because as soon as they met him, he was greeted by the words: "Welcome back, Robert." He was infected, so his emotions inevitably fell into the memories of his Lazio years.

At this time, Chang Sheng said this, and Di Matteo naturally remembered his experience in Lazio back then. The valve of memory opens. Past experiences poured out like a tidal wave, drowning him.

At that time, Lazio was in high spirits, and although they did not win the championship, they played football that made the whole Italy sideways.

How similar is it to Lazio, which is winning so much today? It's just that Lazio, who wins perennially, has a championship.

Chang Sheng saw that Di Matteo was a little distracted. And strike while the iron is hot: "Let those who think Lazio will sink to see, eagle, it should be in the sky!" ”

Di Matteo nodded: "That's right, it should be in the sky!" ”

Later, Di Matteo recalled the first time he and Chang Sheng met. What Chang Sheng said, he smiled and told reporters that he had fallen for Chang Sheng. fell into the psychological trap that Chang Sheng had preset, so that time he could only follow the rhythm of Chang Sheng.

In the end, it was particularly bloody and often won.

"Innocent and naïve like a child who is not yet an underage."

"Then you don't think you should have chosen Lazio in the first place?" The reporter asked.

Di Matteo shook his head: "No, being deceived by Chang Sheng on the ship is the most correct decision I have made in my life!" ”

Robert. Di Matteo said seriously.

Di Matteo has officially joined the winning coaching team, and all he has to do is learn to adapt to the winning tactics as quickly as possible.

After all, this is completely different from the tactical style he is used to.

Tiki-taka is a tactic that is both simple and complex.

Before he really mastered it, he could start arranging team training and all kinds of trivial things. Put Rudy. Gonzalez's originally complicated part of the job was taken over, allowing Rudy to concentrate on tactical training.

Lazio sold nine people in one go this summer and bought nine more,

It is equivalent to the need to start over and start the run-in adjustment.

The winning coaching staff actually has a lot of tasks.

After the team started training, there were many people coming to the training base every day, especially after the Chang Sheng and Lazio extreme fans had a fight, and even more fans came.

Not extreme fans, of course, but ordinary fans.

They are here to support Chang Sheng, and they can't let Chang Sheng drink alone to fight with extreme fans.

In addition, there are various construction vehicles.

The month of August passed in the midst of this bustling noise.

In the blink of an eye, the new season is about to begin.

※※※

On 25 August, Lazio host Roma in the first match of the new season, the Italian Super Cup.

Last season's Italian Super Cup was also a clash between Lazio and Roma.

Last season, Roma won the Coppa Italia. So it's still them competing with Lazio for the Italian Super Cup.

On August 30, in the UEFA Super Cup, Lazio faced Zenit St. Petersburg, the winner of the UEFA Cup.

In addition, on August 29, Chang Sheng will travel to Monaco to participate in the Champions League draw ceremony, as well as the best awards ceremony of last season's Champions League.

From the first Super Cup, Lazio's new competition began.

As in last season, the first game of the new season starts with the Rome derby. It's really commemorative.

Although Lazio's win over Roma has become a habit, as Chang Sheng himself said, "Would you be surprised to breathe?" ”

Lazio's win over Roma was as normal as breathing.

But Everwin started preparing for the match a week before the match.

He wants his players to understand that even if it's a game that Lazio will win comfortably, he needs to prepare carefully. How else to win?

From an outsider's point of view. Lazio can win against Roma every time, what to start with? The result of this winning every time is serious and hard training, and targeted tactical arrangements.

The players walked around the pitch and won easily. But that doesn't mean they can just walk around on their usual training grounds.

Chang Sheng believes that if you sweat more during training, you will shed fewer tears after the game.

It was only then that the new players understood why Lazio had dominated Serie A for three seasons in a row.

Not as the outside world says. It is because of the decline in the overall competitiveness of Serie A. The real reason is because Lazio is so conscientious and responsible, and never relaxes.

The overall competitiveness is declining, and Lazio can at least guarantee Champions League qualification every season, but if you want to win the league title, it is obviously not enough to rely on the decline in competitiveness.

Only this serious attitude and hard training. It is possible to become a true king.

And once the king is satisfied with what they have achieved, the training is not serious, and the game is dealt with casually, then the dynasty is not far from falling.

But looked at Lazio's pre-season preparations. Every new Lazio player will recognize that the media thought Lazio was going to be finished. Maybe they'll be disappointed in the end......

Such a team that constantly strives for self-improvement, never relaxes its requirements for itself, and never stops moving forward...... If you want to perish, it's really hard.

These people also fully realize what a great team they have come in!

※※※

This year's Rome derby is not like any other year.

Because the president of the club of Roma, who sat on the rostrum to watch the game this year, will no longer be Franco. Sensi, but his eldest daughter, Rosella. Sensi is up.

Because Sensi Sr. had passed away a week ago.

Many people believe that the death of Sensi Sr. will turn a new chapter in the hatred of Victor and Rome.

The hatred between Chang Sheng and Rome should not be as high as it used to be.

So Lazio doesn't necessarily have to win every time they see Roma......

That may not make Roma fans happy, but it will be a fact that maybe Franco. Sensi's death was a good thing for Roma as a team.

The newspaper "Turin Sport" once wrote: "When Franco. After Sensi's death, the derby between Lazio and Roma can finally return to normal. Roma should be able to recoup the disadvantage they have had in recent years from Lazio's hands, as the hatred of Roma is fading over time......"

Everyone can see what these media say publicly.

When Di Matteo saw the report, he smiled and put the newspaper aside, although he hadn't finished reading it yet, but he felt that it didn't make sense anymore and didn't need to read it.

Although he didn't spend much time in Lazio, judging from what he had seen and heard in the past half a month, he really felt that the words of "Torino Sport" were stupid and naïve......

Rome thought they could win?

Look at the effort that Lazio put into this game, he really doesn't believe Roma can win!

He also understands why Lazio can dominate Italian football for three consecutive years, and won the Champions League in the last year under such circumstances!

Hard work pays off!

ps, tomorrow the new season of the game will begin, continue the four more!

Ask for a commuter pass!

It's the last day!!
