Chapter Eighty-Nine: Core: Mota
While Lazio fans were frowning in the stands, Tsuen was hysterical in the dressing room.
The hysteria is not grabbing the players by the collars, spitting at them and roaring: "I'm the only one who wants to win!" β
It's not realistic.
Chang Sheng's hysteria is manifested in a state of mind, although he does not say a word, everyone will think that he is very hysterical.
For example, he used the tactical arrangement to write all over the blackboard as quickly as possible, and every time the chalk fell on the blackboard, it would make a loud noise, which made people worry that Chang Sheng would break the chalk pestle......
When he was done, he slammed the chalk on the ground and turned to look at his players again, his eyes even faintly red.
Everyone was taken aback.
It turned out that when they entered the locker room, they were still very frustrated, and the first half was really embarrassing...... No one cared about it now, they were just amazed - why did the boss do this...... Crazy?
Of course, they don't know why the boss is so crazy, because this match, or the two-legged match, is not just a two-game win for a perennial victory.
It's also about whether what he worked so hard to get out of that rainy night in Moscow last year makes sense, and whether he can really resist the tricks of fate.
Chang Sheng gritted his teeth and said to his players: "Luka is injured, Domingo told me that it is a thigh muscle strain, and the specific injury needs to be examined in more detail to see if his muscle fibers are torn or anything." So they're not here now, they're in the hospital. β
Although he gritted his teeth, his tone was calm, and he didn't even have an exclamation point.
"Guys, now we have a big crisis. It is no exaggeration to say that this is indeed a great crisis. We met the opponents we faced in the final last season. Needless to say, you should know what happens if we lose to them. They will question our title last season, and the media will play up our failures...... "One year later, Manchester United have revenge!" "Lazio is the European champion, Manchester United beat the European champion! γβ¦β¦ With such a title, I can think of it with **. Now that we're down by the score, maybe the damn reporters are already in the press gallery and starting to write like that...... To make matters worse, the heart of our midfield organisation has been injured again. β
"It's not good, guys." Chang Sheng took a breath, spit it out again, and then said.
"What to do? Throw in the towel? Of course not! Now, when everyone thinks we're finished, we're going to start fighting back! Don't have an organizer? No, we do! Motta! β
Mota was startled by Chang Sheng's sudden name, then looked up and looked at his boss.
'You're from Barcelona, Motta, and from the start you and Lazio's tactics were seamless. That's why I chose you in the first place. Although you have been playing as a replacement for Luca for most of the season, you have only been assisting him on the pitch. Or playing a playmaking role in a rotating game, and there may be doubts about whether you can take on such a big role in such a crucial game, but I never doubted your ability. Now, it's time to show your abilities to those who doubt you, Motta. β
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he let go of the blackboard, and then he began to point to the blackboard to Motta, and also said to the other players: "You have to be further back on the field than Modric, but it doesn't matter, you also have to know that the tactics of the playmaking core are played by me." When the time comes, Gotze and Cazorla will drop back to pick you up and help you string up the midfield. GΓΆtze, Cazorla? β
The two people whose names were called replied, "Understood, boss!" β
'Don't hesitate when you need to step forward, don't look ahead, go ahead, lose the ball and have Ledesma and Candreva to protect you. Ledesma, Candreva? β
The two midfielders also responded: "Yes, boss!" β
'When we open up on the wings, the two full-backs have to be brave enough to plug in and whenever you see a gap, you can pass the ball over there, Motta.
Motta nodded.
Next, Chang Sheng analyzed and explained to Mota one by one, and Mota listened intently, nodding his head constantly.
Finally, Chang Sheng asked Motta, "Do you have any questions?" β
Unexpectedly, Motta really had it, he raised his hand and asked, "The situation is right, can I shoot directly without passing?" β
Chang Sheng smiled, and then nodded: "As long as the situation is right, you can grasp it yourself." β
Motta nodded, "Understood, I'm fine, boss." β
Chang Sheng gave him a satisfied look, then looked at the others.
"Guys, in the second half, we had to chase at least two goals and not be able to concede any more goals. Offensively and defensively, the pressure is going to be high. This requires you to run more and fight more than usual. I know it's hard, but it's because it's hard that I do it. Let's see why it was we, not them, who beat them and won the title a year ago! It's not luck, it's got to be a reason for it!! β
β»β»β»
At the start of the second half, it was found that Lazio, who had been winning the game, had not made any changes. Neither the personnel nor the tactics have changed.
But without Modric, how can such Lazio win Manchester United, which is one goal ahead of them and in good form?
You must know that Modric is the core of Lazio's organization, and it can even be said that it is the core of this mad dog tactic.
After Luka Modric's injury, Motta was the only one who could replace him.
It's just that how could Motta top Modric?
If nothing happens, what do Lazio want to beat Manchester United?
Could it be that he surrendered in advance?
Even Ferguson, who was next to him, turned his head to glance at the man who was squatting on the sidelines, and couldn't figure out what Chang Sheng wanted to do.
Of course, it is impossible to admit defeat and surrender in advance.
Not to mention admitting defeat and surrendering in advance, even if it is admitting defeat and surrendering, there are no two words in the dictionary of Changsheng.
He naturally had a reason for choosing to use Mota.
Any team must have a core, and the same is true for any tactic.
For example, Pep Guardiola's Dream Three can sweep Europe, their tiki-taka tactics are very powerful, but this tactic also has a core in this lineup.
The media and fans are all focused on Messi, but in fact, the essence of this tactic is Xavi.
As the brain of Barcelona, Xavi's role is irreplaceable.
Barcelona can do without Messi, but not without Xavi.
It's not at Black Messi, there's a simple fact to prove it.
Argentina with Messi and Spain with Xavi, who has better results?
Spain, obviously. Spain with Xavi won Euro 2008 and 2012, as well as the 2010 World Cup.
And what about Argentina, which has Messi and is also not short of other world-class players?
**Silk can't be anymore**silk...... Not to mention the World Cup, you can't even win the Copa America...... The 2007 Copa America was won by Brazil, who beat Argentina in the final.
Argentina, with Lionel Messi, won only one gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
But in senior football, Argentina, with Messi, has scored nothing.
Of course, some people will say that Messi in 2007 has not really matured, and at that time he was not the absolute core of Barcelona, and there were many minor injuries and illnesses.
Let's take a look at Argentina's achievements after Messi's maturity.
The 2010 World Cup is definitely the first international tournament after Messi matures, right?
The result?
Argentina, who are considered favourites to win the tournament, lost to Germany in the quarter-finals and lost 4-0.
You must know that this World Cup is considered by the media and fans to be a World Cup for Messi...... If he can lead Argentina to the World Cup, he can become the third generation of football kings, indisputable.
The same was true every week in 2011, with Argentina with Messi not even making it to the final......
When Messi monopolized the Ballon d'Or for four consecutive years with his performances at club goal, there were different voices complaining about Xavi and Iniesta.
Even in the year when Spain won the World Cup in history, the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or were awarded to Messi, and Messi that year was just a league championship and still could win.
However, his teammates Xavi and Iniesta have these accolades, and their contribution to the team is no less than that of Messi.
Xavi and Andres Iniesta also have World Cup wins.
But who says Messi who can score goals is more conspicuous than both of them?
The heart of the Dream Three team is Harvey.
In the ever-winning mad dog tactics, there is also a core, and this core is certainly not Falcao, who won the Serie A Golden Boot and the Champions League Golden Boot in one season, but Modric, who does not score many goals but assists constantly.
But now that Luka Modric is out injured, the core of the Mad Dog tactic is gone.
Constant Win can only activate the alternate core, which is Mota.
Why did you buy Mota in the first place?
Isn't it just so that one day, when Modric can't play, step up?
Because Motta has organizational skills, which are still cultivated in the Barcelona academy, and are in the same vein as the winning style and tactics, there will be no adaptation problems.
To be on the safe side, a regular win would only allow Motta to replace Modric in a rotation in an unimportant game.
Now that the situation is special, he can only catch ducks on the shelves.
Perched on the ground, Victorious hopes Motta will not live up to his expectations, just as Giroud will not live up to his expectations.
He's gambling on his reputation and face......
If this game is lost to Manchester United, or even eliminated by Manchester United, he can guess what those people will say ugly things.
He has always been the only one who hits other people's faces, so how can he allow others to hit him in the face?
Not to mention Manchester United, who won last year's Champions League final.
Even if the current Manchester United is open, Lao Tzu will win!
