Chapter 105: Why Win (Ask for a commuter pass!) )

Valencia and Lazio were placed in a group that was part of the Champions League group stage draw, and when the result came out, everyone was talking about the group.

It looks like it's really a night of revenge.

The first is that Chang Sheng and Valencia got together in the draw ceremony, and then Barcelona is looking for revenge in the UEFA Super Cup......

As for the fact that Olympiacos and Shakhtar Donetsk were placed in the same group afterwards, this kind of thing must not be noticeable.

In fact, Lazio really drew a good ......

The draw was made and the four Italian teams were grouped as follows: Inter Milan were drawn in Group B, along with Bayern Munich, Spartak Moscow and Sporting Lisbon.

AC Milan Group H with Anderlecht, Lille and AEK Athens.

Roma are in Group E, alongside Real Madrid, Dynamo Kyiv and Steaua Bucharest.

Lazio are in Group D, alongside Valencia, Shakhtar Donetsk and Olympiacos.

In fact, the grouping situation of the four Italian teams is not bad, and there is no real group of death.

As long as you play normally, you shouldn't have a problem qualifying from the group.

As soon as the group draw ceremony ended, Chang Sheng walked out of the hall and was surrounded by reporters waiting outside, more than the media before he walked in.

Apparently everyone is aware of the feud between him and Valencia.

Similarly, Valencia's current manager, Flores, was surrounded by journalists.

The largest number of reporters gathered around the two men at the door.

Everybody wants to hear what these two guys think about this damn grouping draw.

Chang Sheng was very relaxed: "I'm excited to be back in Mestalla. I had a lot of friends there. We still keep in touch with each other ......."

Flores had a serious expression: "Our goal is to qualify from the group, and everything is based on that goal. He refused to judge and reunite with Chang Sheng.

Reporters asked what they thought of the opposing manager.

Chang Win praised Flores' performance in Valencia, but he also felt it was unfair to always compare himself to Flores. 'Every manager has his own characteristics and there's no point in comparing them. I think Flores is the manager that Valencia need. ”

And what about Flores?

'He is always a good manager and his achievements at Valencia speak for themselves. I want to be in the group stage. He's going to be a headache for me. But I'm going to give it my all to win. ”

He's still avoiding the important.

Chang Sheng commented generously on Flores.

Flores didn't dare, because he was worried.

If it's just that the fans and the local media miss Chang Sheng, Flores can also play a psychological battle with Chang Sheng at this time.

But the problem is that there are a lot of players in the Valencia team who actually have a good relationship with the winners. Especially a couple of veteran players. For example, Vicente, Albelda, Baraja, Canizares, Ayala, Curro. Torres, Mista, Angullo, David. Villa...... This occupies almost all of Valencia's main force now.

Himself and Changsheng spat at each other? I'm afraid that my team will be the first to rebel......

It's just too hard for the head coach to do it.

When Soler asked him to succeed Lopes as the new manager of Valencia, he was quite happy and excited, full of ambition, and vowed in his heart to make Valencia forget about winning - both Ranieri and López had lived in the shadow of winning before.

But now he realizes how naïve and ridiculous his original idea was.

I knew it was like this in Valencia. He won't agree to Soler's invitation!

Damn, you're going to coach Valencia when you're full!

Who the wants to live in the shadow of someone for the rest of their lives? No matter how good your performance is, you will always be compared to others, and then you will be set off by your powerful predecessors to fail.

Finally, reporters asked the two managers their predictions for the group stage.

"There is no doubt that our goal is not just to qualify from the group. ”

Flores, on the other hand, said: "We will try to qualify from the group. ”

Later, when the reporters put together the interviews of the two men. Only then did I see the difference.

A reporter sighed: "No wonder people often lead Valencia to sweep La Liga with a devastating posture and finally reach the top of Europe." And Flores' Valencia are just a team that is working hard to qualify for the Champions League. The momentum of the head coach is completely incomparable! ”

After the draw ceremony, the next night, the UEFA Super Cup arrived as scheduled.

At the Stade Louis II in Monaco, Lazio, the winner of the UEFA Cup, and Barcelona will face off in the Champions League!

Will Barcelona get their revenge, or will they continue their unbeaten run against Barcelona?

For this issue. The media is generally bullish on Barcelona.

This is an obvious fact.

Barcelona are strong, and the Champions League just won the Champions League gave them high morale, and the team squad was stable and coordinated.

And what about Lazio, who has been winning perennially? Even last season's Lazio. The strength also seems a little thin, whether it is overall or individually, it cannot be compared with Barcelona, but that team still has the strength to fight.

Now the winning Lazio team doesn't even have the strength to fight.

Almost half of the main players have been replaced. The team is going to run in again, and for a month and a half, I don't know how they are going...... Anyway, this team is in terms of strength and tacit understanding. None as good as Barcelona.

Why did they win?

※※※

"Someone asked us a question, guys." In the dressing room of Luis II before the start of the Super Cup, Chang Sheng was speaking to his players. "They asked us, how did we win against Barcelona after only a month and a half of running-in and a few painless warm-up games for such a team that broke up and rebuilt in the summer transfer period?"

He paced back and forth in the locker room, looking around at all the players.

"Some people also say that although Lazio won the UEFA Cup last season, it was another Lazio glory and had nothing to do with the current Lazio. All of this seems to make sense...... But what I'm going to say is. ”

Chang Sheng paused here. He looked at his players and the players looked at him.

He then continued: "They're all fucking farting. ”

It's a very bland sentence, Chang Sheng didn't even use all his strength to wave his arms and yell.

But on the contrary, it was this calmness that made the players present feel the boss's fierce murderous spirit.

They all know the story between the boss and Barcelona, Barcelona wants to defeat the boss and succeed in revenge, how can the boss let them get their wish?

"We played six friendlies in the summer. In these six friendly matches, we have lost and won, and now this Super Cup. It's our first official race of the new season and the first time you've officially introduced yourself to the world. There are a lot of people who don't like us right now, they blatantly don't like a Serie A winner and a UEFA Cup winner. It's shocking that this naked contempt is happening to us. That's simply because most of you only joined the club this summer, and many of you have only been with Lazio for a year. Remember, they don't think favorably of us. Not an insult to me, but an insult to you! Now you have a good opportunity to slap them in front of all Europe and tell them, why did Lazio win? Just you people! ”

The players suddenly had a sense of sacred mission.

Lazio can win against Barcelona, not by the boss, but by us! We can beat Barcelona!

So everyone rushed out of the locker room with high morale.

this game. Chang Sheng started preparing a week in advance and is familiar with Barcelona.

Because the tactics of this team are no different from the Dream II team in his impression.

Basically, they played the same way they played in Valencia, and they also have Ronaldinho and Deco in their team, which is the core of the midfield that often wins Valencia.

So there's nothing new about Rijkaard's set.

Tactically. Lazio played faster, more aggressively and tougher.

And it will surprise everyone.

Because the tactical lesson prepared for Barcelona by Changsheng is not Lazio's Mad Dog 2.0, but ...... Very tough defensive counterattack!

For this reason, he did not even announce the list in advance.

He just wants to be in the dark with Barcelona.

You think I'm going to fight you guys in a game?

Miss by a mile!

Don't think I'm only going to play Barcelona's tactics!

I'm going to use Chelsea's game against you!

This game Lazio in order to match the tactics. Even the lineup has changed.

The previous main force, this time several have to be substitutes.

In the midfield, Changsheng arranged a group of muscular men. Play with the flow of body power, simple and rough.

The front line is both speed and point-grabbing.

The main tactic is to start intercepting from the midfield when defending, organize the defensive line, deploy layers of defense, and finally stick to the penalty area, using a tough body and defensive attitude to contain Barcelona's possession tactics, forcing Barcelona's players to not be able to control the ball well at all.

The attack relied on quick counter-attacks to advance to the danger zone of Barcelona as quickly as possible.

The front court is full of players with excellent individual ability, and can score goals alone without the support of teammates, and has the ability to change the outcome of the game alone, and has a strong ability to play alone.

Also, there is a lot of emphasis on set-pieces, both offensively and defensively. In terms of high balls, bomb Barcelona's goal. Barcelona without Piqui is their weak point in terms of air defense.

That's the tactical arrangement of winning every day.

Very targeted.

Thank you to Jose Mourinho and Chelsea.

They have made an excellent example of how to deal with the Barcelona Dream II team, and they are latecomers, who only need to copy and then adjust slightly.

Barcelona think they're going to win?

Immature!
