Because there is a league at the weekend, the whole Lazio team did not rest after returning to Rome, they just took a short break in the morning to let the players return home to shower and change clothes and relax. In the afternoon, I still have to train as usual.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chang Sheng also appeared at the Furmelo training base.

Nesta was a little embarrassed when she saw him.

It stands to reason that he should have used a victory to congratulate the eldest on the birth of his third child, but he screwed up. So it's not easy for him to even congratulate his boss now.

So the media is right.

However, Nesta was soothed by his victory, and when he saw him, he gave him a hug.

In front of all the coaching staff, the hug illustrates a winning attitude.

"I'm sorry, guys." Then Chang Sheng apologized to everyone. "The responsibility for the defeat of this game is on me. If it weren't for my private affairs, you wouldn't have to bear this kind of pressure. But it doesn't matter, it's just a defeat, the quarter-finals are two-legged. We still have a chance on our home turf. So, let's knock out Manchester United at home! ”

On the training ground, Chang Sheng told the players something like this, telling them that failure was their responsibility, not theirs. They don't need any pressure, they did really well at Old Trafford and he's proud of them.

He calmed the hearts of all the players and then told them that it was no big deal, that he was back and that the victory would be Lazio!

Lazio then began training hard to qualify for the semi-finals.

After the team's training, Chang Sheng did not go home directly, but with several of his right-hand men, assistant coach Rudy. Gonzalez, Nesta, tactical coach Dong Qiudi, video analyst Barzaretti together. Watch the footage of Lazio's away game against Manchester United.

This is the first time Chang Sheng has watched this game.

He hadn't really watched the game before that.

Others are doing it for the second time.

Everyone watched the footage of the match together, analysing their opponents and Lazio's response in this match.

When Lazio conceded goals in a row, Chang Sheng criticized Nesta's on-the-spot command for not being decisive enough, adjusting too slowly, and the means and ideas were very rigid, which was easy to be guessed by Mourinho's old fritters.

So it led to a succession of goals conceded by the team.

Although we met for the first time today. Chang Sheng hugged Nesta.

However, this is not the time to give Nesta face, and those who should be criticized must still be criticized, otherwise Nesta will never be able to improve.

Nesta also did not express dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction with the boss's criticism, he knew very well that this was the boss's love for him.

Let him understand what his problems are. Where is it and how to solve it.

It's great to have such a great leader on your own coaching path......

Before Ji Ming's goal, this game was basically a perennial victory criticizing Nesta.

But ten minutes before Ji Ming's goal, Chang Sheng began to praise Nesta.

Said that after falling behind by three goals, he really let go of the baggage. This will help him make better judgments.

In the end, his adjustment resulted in a valuable away goal for Lazio.

After analysing the team's problems in this game, Chang Sheng started to talk to the coaching staff on how to beat them at home.

Although he was relaxed in front of the media, it seemed that beating Manchester United was as simple as waving his hand. While talking and laughing, the strong crossbow disappeared.

But that's just one way he communicates faith.

Or it is a relatively superficial understanding of him by the outside world.

It's not as simple as people think to beat their opponents.

It is necessary to make adequate preparations and careful arrangements.

In this way, it is possible to defeat the opponent.

If you only rely on a big mouth to put a mouth cannon. That's useless.

Of course, the vast majority of the public only saw the scenery and triumph in front of people. But they don't understand, or don't want to understand, the work they do behind the scenes, the cost - it's often boring and overly professional.

Very few people will be interested in these things.

Anyway, in the end, winning often brings them victory, and that's enough.

Chang Sheng and his coaching staff were busy until just after 10 p.m., when they returned to their homes.

The newborn child has already been fed and falls asleep soundly in the crib.

Avril didn't complain that her husband came back so late, she was used to it, her husband was a workaholic.

His legendary experience, without this crazy work, would not have made sense.

Chang Sheng hugged his wife, greeted his parents, and then tiptoed to the eldest son's and daughter's rooms to look at the children who had fallen asleep.

He re-covered his son with the quilt - he had kicked the quilt to his calves, and his entire upper body was exposed.

Finally he came to the master bedroom, where he and Avril Lavigne lived, and where his youngest son lived.

I saw my little son sleeping sweetly in his crib.

The little pink face, when sleeping, the mouth is still slightly pouting, is it making a sucking motion, as if it is still breastfeeding.

Chang Sheng stretched out his fingers to tease his youngest son's mouth, but he was sucked by him, as if it was his mother's **, and he sucked very hard.

The little tongue licked and touched it inside, and it was very itchy to lick it, and he couldn't help laughing.

Avril gave him a gentle touch from behind: "Don't wake up my son!" ”

Chang Sheng was silent, but he was still smiling, and the smile on his face was even brighter.

"How cute...... Seeing him, it's worth it, and the pressure is a fart! ”

He whispered.

There is one more league game before the home game against Manchester United.

As an adjustment, the game was abandoned by the perennial win.

As a result, Lazio lost 1-2 at home to Sampdoria.

Juventus, meanwhile, won the game and took all three points, thus overtaking Lazio by one point and once again topping the league.

Lazio went second in the league.

At this time, the benefits of Juventus' elimination in the quarterfinals of the Champions League were reflected. Juventus, who play on a single front, can concentrate on playing the league and use their strength to the fullest in the league.

While Juventus' performances have been up and down in Europe, there are few teams that can shake their place in the domestic league.

Little by little, the media's claim that "early elimination is a good thing for Juventus" is becoming a reality.

In midweek, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals arrived.

This time, Chang Sheng didn't play anything anymore and disappeared.

The pre-match press conference was not Nesta anymore, but a constant win.

This time, Chang Sheng took the initiative to attack Mourinho.

'I know Jose Mourinho must want to beat me and I sympathize with him. But I'm not going to give him a chance. If he's brave enough, give it a try! ”

In the last game, Manchester United beat Lazio, but Mourinho was not very happy.

First of all, of course, it was his team that allowed Lazio to score an away goal, which everyone knows.

Not many people know the second reason - Mourinho beat Lazio, but he beat Nesta. Instead of winning constantly, his victories seem meaningless.

Chang Sheng sent his assistant out to face Mourinho, which would have been a contempt. However, the difference in strength between the two sides is obvious, and there is no suspense that Mourinho will win. If Mourinho loses to Nesta, that's the problem.

So beating Nesta, for Mourinho, there is nothing to be happy about at all.

Instead, he was underestimated because of himself. Even angrier.

Last time, he defeated Nesta, and this time, he is going to take advantage of the victory. Defeat Ever-Wins.

Chang Sheng's active provocation made him even more angry.

He quickly shot back: "I congratulate Chang Xi on your son, but such a busy day is not suitable for taking care of your own children." In order for him to devote more love to his family, I will help him get more time off. That way he doesn't have to be on race day anymore. Chose to stay at home. ”

He's still talking about Chang Sheng's absence from the last leg.

It can be seen how deep his resentment is about Chang Sheng's absence......

At half past seven on Wednesday evening, Lazio host Manchester United.

This game is often won and personally supervised. Lazio's main players all start.

Lazio must turn the tables at home.

On aggregate, Lazio are two goals behind, and this situation is definitely not as rosy as Chang Sheng said.

As soon as United score a goal away from home, the situation gets complicated.

Lazio have to attack, but when they attack, they suffer defensively.

They don't guarantee that United won't score.

You must know that Mourinho's Manchester United attack power is also very good. They are not a deformed team like Nottingham Forest, with a particularly good defence and a particularly weak attack.

Against such a team, Lazio cannot be taken lightly defensively.

But if you want to strengthen the defense, it will inevitably affect the offense.

Lazio must score at least two goals to knock Manchester United out.

Attack and defense turned into a paradox in this game.

Strengthen the attack, and you may be scored by the opponent.

In order not to concede goals and strengthen the defense, the total score is still two goals behind, how to smooth out the gap between the two goals? Obviously, you can't do it on defense.

It's the same Lazio rhythm.

When Lazio take the lead, their opponents will also face the same problem that Lazio will face now, attacking or defending?

Like Hamlet's "To live or to die", this is an eternal dilemma.

Everyone wants to see what kind of answer Chang Sheng will give.

※※※

From the very beginning of the game, Lazio launched a fierce attack like Manchester United's goal.

There was no temptation, let alone adaptation.

Lazio got into the game very quickly, their attack was like a storm, and the players of Zero United were a little out of breath.

Within ten minutes, Manchester United was suppressed by Lazio and couldn't even pass half time, and Lazio bombarded Manchester United indiscriminately. Even if United get the ball, they can only choose to rush forward with Lazio's frantic frontcourt pressing.

The Lazio backline, which is almost down the halfway line, will intercept the ball that the United player has kicked over, regain control and then attack forward.

It's like grabbing an offensive rebound, wave after wave, and it never stops.

Offensive!

A fierce attack at a glance!

That's the answer given by Chang Sheng.
