Chapter 136: Tactics

After seeing off a somewhat frustrated and envious Liverpool, Lazio challenged Fiorentina away in the seventh round of the league.

This time, they have a free hand to clean up their opponents in the league for the time being.

Because a Champions League group stage was played in midweek, this game, the winner continues to rotate.

Today, Lazio is very skilled in terms of rotation, and with the continuous recruitment, Lazio's bench thickness has also been enhanced.

The key is to look at the mentality.

As long as Lazio wants to win, it's fine.

Because this game was a squad rotation, Götze did not start, and not only him, but also Modric, Cazorla and other players did not start.

Who will start in their place?

Starting in Gotze's position was David. Silva!

This guy is almost going to be forgotten.

Replacing Modric is Motta.

It looks like the playmaker at the heart of Lazio's game is Motta.

Fiorentina also made Motta a key target when preparing for this game.

Last season, after Luka Modric's injury, Motta shone and proved his playmaking skills with his performances.

In the summer of this year, he also attracted the attention of many wealthy families.

At one point, Inter Milan wanted him badly.

Of course, Chang Sheng is not a fool, and such an important and excellent player is naturally impossible to let go easily.

With Gotze, Luka Modric, Cazorla and Edinson Cavani all playing, it is only natural for Fiorentina to see Motta as the most dangerous player.

But on Lazio's side, the situation is not quite the same.

When preparing for the match with Fiorentina, Chang Sheng gave everyone a tactical lesson, in which Chang Sheng told his players in detail about the tactics of this game, and then they had to train according to this tactical requirement.

"The key word for this game is 'dual-core', guys." Chang Sheng raised two fingers and said to the players.

"We'll be rotating for this game and I can tell you right now which clubs won't start against Fiorentina. Luka Modric, Gotze and Cazorla and Edinson Cavani will certainly not start. ”

Hearing the manager announce his name, the expressions of these players did not change.

After staying in Lazio for so many years, I have long been accustomed to the rotation policy of the boss.

Although the rotation policy will reduce his playing opportunities, it will also allow him to get more rest.

It's also good for everybody to get more opportunities for other teammates to play, so they don't get caught up and there is peace in the dressing room.

So let them rotate, there will be an opinion if they don't join - of course, they don't dare to have an opinion, the boss in Valencia in Lazio has long been famous for a series of iron-fisted methods, everyone knows that this entry is not to be provoked.

'Motta will start. But your position is the back midfield, you are still a little far from the front, this time you don't need to step forward, I will arrange a step in to help you. After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he pointed to David. Silva.

"David, you're starting this game."

David. Silva looked at Chang Sheng with some surprise, and the other players also looked at David in surprise. Silva.

When talking about the duo, everyone thought that Hernanes and Motta would partner in the midfield duo.

But I didn't expect Jingran to be David. Silva!

David. Silva has been in contact with a new location and style lately, and everyone knows that.

But is he ready to start so quickly?

Fiorentina are not an underdog, and they are playing at home...... Will David be able to withstand this pressure?

If the performance fails, won't it be bombarded by the media again?

Now that he has finally escaped from the attention of the media and has a relatively quiet environment, what is the boss doing pushing him to the forefront again?

Chang Sheng saw the doubts in the players' eyes, and also saw David. Silva's surprise.

Apparently not into the thought that he would make David. Silva started and they didn't understand why they would let David . Silva starts.

So he prevailed over David. Silva explained that he was also explaining to the other players.

"I know, we all know it's going to put too much pressure on you, David. But you can't never be stressed, can you? Sooner or later you're going to have to face this, so I've pushed you to the forefront. But most of all, I believe in you, David, and I'm sure you're not going to be crushed by pressure, right? ”

David. After listening to Chang Sheng's explanation, Silva understood the boss's good intentions.

He nodded vigorously and replied loudly in front of the crowd, "Yes, I won't be crushed by pressure, you can trust me, boss!" ”

Chang Sheng slapped his face: "Very good, then let's move on to the tactical ......"

"When Motta gets the ball at the back, David you have to drop back to pick him up and you have to build a strong bond between the two of you. I don't want to see you stay on the wing in front of you, that's the way a winger plays, now you're not a winger. You have to retreat, even in the middle. Mota can connect with these into......"

Chang Sheng motioned assistant coach Di Matteo to operate his laptop, and soon a green floor plan of the stadium appeared on the projector screen in the conference room.

On the way there are many blue circles with different numbers in the middle, representing different Lazio players, distinguished by numbers.

Motta's number thirty is in the middle, and there are blue circles representing Lazio in all directions around him.

Through this tactical diagram, you can know at a glance what position Motta should be in after getting the ball, so that Motta can pass the ball.

Chang Sheng used a red laser pointer to point at the number seven blue circle near the middle circle.

"This is your place, David. You can appear in the middle lane, as well as on the left and right. "Changsheng's red laser pointer is lit on the curtain, and everyone can follow the past, where you can find the place where Changsheng said, which is very convenient and clear, and it is much more efficient than using words to describe it.

Then the picture changed, and the overlook of the whole stadium became an overlook of the front court. Silva appeared at the top of the penalty arc at the edge of the penalty area.

He has his teammates around him in all directions and is sure that they are not too far apart.

"It's what happens when you get the ball in the middle, David."

'It's when you get the ball on the left flank...... Here's how you get the ball on the right flank......"

Chang Sheng kept saying, and the pictures on the screen kept changing. Silva is in a different position and, of course, the other players are in a different position.

Finally, a flash animation, David. Silva can take the ball from different positions and make different runs, he can run from the middle to any wing, or he can run sideways from any wing.

And the corresponding is naturally the running route of other Lazio players.

Through such a simple flash animation, all the players can see their running route clearly.

If you can't see it clearly, it's okay, this one will be played over and over again until everyone remembers it.

And in addition to the Lazio players, there is also a purple circle representing Fiorentina. Silva reacts differently to different lines, and then you can see what Fiorentina's defensive formation will look like in different situations, where there are gaps, where there are opportunities, and where it is easy to fall into the opponent's offside trap...... Coupled with Chang Sheng's commentary on the side, everything is clear.

David. Silva stared at the curtain, as if he wanted to engrave the roadmap in his mind.

Chang Sheng kept saying: "Remember that your running position will be related to the running position of other teammates around you, and all your running positions will be related to the victory or defeat of the whole team." You are an organic whole. Anyone who enters is responsible for the team, don't think you can be lazy and not run, then there will be problems in the team's attack and defense, and if that happens, I will replace you without mercy. Remembered ......"

At the end of the tactical lesson, Chang Sheng sent the flash animation of the running route map displayed in the tactical lesson to each player's mailbox, and then asked them to go back and look at it for themselves.

That's the homework for the tactics class that always wins.

Using a computer and the Internet to teach everyone is better than writing and drawing on a tactical board.

Of course, this trick is not the first to win, Mourinho did it when he was at Chelsea, and later Benitez also played it this way - Benitez in that time and space - Benitez even partnered with him to make a football tactics app application, which was sold in Apple's app store, and everyone could buy it for ten euros to install on their mobile phones and tablets, and then simulate the tactics of the manager to arrange the team, etc., to experience the addiction of being a football manager.

And it's also useful for professional soccer managers – in fact, the things that Changsheng is showing now are using the app designed by Rafael Benitez. It gave him the feeling that he was playing FM on his own, but this app was more professional.

But he didn't spend money on this app, but went directly to Benitez for it...... ※※※ David. Silva's wife complained to herself that her husband would come home and start looking at the boring tactical charts on the computer screen.

In her opinion, those things are too complicated, so many lines, intersecting each other, there are solid lines, there are dotted lines, and there are wavy lines...... She didn't know what it meant, but the occasional glance at it made her feel dizzy.

But her husband sat in front of the computer, his eyes fixed on the ever-changing schematic diagram on the screen, watching with relish.

Sometimes he will pause, stare at the screen and be distracted, and he can't hear him shouting himself.

It's like being obsessed.

It was as if he could figure out victory from this.

What she didn't know was that there was actually victory in it......
