In Lazio's dressing room, the Lazio players seemed quite silent, no one discussed the first half, and no one looked forward to the second half. It's like deliberately ignoring this.

It seems that when you talk about this, it brings bad luck.

When Chang Sheng walked into the locker room, he saw such a situation at a glance.

He frowned slightly.

That's not a good sign.

This shows that the morale of the team is declining.

On the one hand, they didn't expect their opponents to be so tenacious, and on the other hand, they didn't expect that they would hit the post three times in a row, resulting in the football not being able to score.

Like the Lazio fans outside, they wondered if luck wasn't on their side.

This suspicion is very demoralizing.

When the players find that no matter how hard they try, they can't win, their efforts become useless.

Who wants to do useless work?

They will think that it is God who does not want them to win, that it is God's will and cannot be disobeyed.

When they get into this mood, morale drops and their performance on the pitch gets even lower.

Chang Sheng feels that the team's tactical problems are not important now, but the important thing is to get the players back on their feet.

So he stood in the door and knocked hard.

Everyone's attention was drawn to him, and they looked up at Chang Sheng.

Under their watchful eye, Chang Sheng walked in. Then the door to the locker room was closed.

'We've had a lot of bad luck, three posts in a row, which is probably very rare in world football. But this is just an accident, an accident is an accident, and it does not determine our fate. Because our destiny is in our own hands. ”

Chang Sheng made a fist-clenching motion.

"Now I just want to ask you one thing: do you really want to win the six crowns? Are you really bound for this title? Do not be in a hurry to answer. "I saw a player who wanted to answer his question. Chang Sheng hurriedly made a gesture to signal them to be calm.

"You should ask yourself what your attitude is towards this champion, and what is your heartfelt desire. Or is everyone saying they want it, and you're embarrassed if you don't want it? If you just want to win this championship because of other people's hopes, forget it. But if you want this title yourself, you should know what you have to do. Mazembe has been more tenacious than we thought and I dare say many of you probably couldn't even spell this team by name before this game. But their tenacity is actually a test of how determined we are to win the six-time crown. Are we cowards who flinch when we encounter difficulties! ”

"Since the opponent has been so good and tenacious. Out of respect for them. Naturally, we have to give it our all, and we have to show the best of ourselves. That's what we were going to do in the second half. You want everyone to see how powerful Lazio is! ”

Meanwhile, in the dressing room of Mazembe. The club's president, Katubi, once again came to the lounge to give a lecture to his players. He had an excited smile on his face and was proud and proud of the team's performance in the first half.

In the first half, he watched the game from the podium, and the president of FIFA, Mr. Blatter, was congratulated by everyone around him when his team ended the first half without allowing Lazio to score a goal, and even Blatter extended his hand to him.

This allowed him to earn enough face in front of Blatter.

He hoped that the team would be able to do that in the second half.

"Well done, boys." Katubi said as he waved his arms in the dressing room, making him look less like the president of a club and more like the governor of Katanga.

"You have made Lazio from Europe helpless, you have shown the whole world our power! This is the power of Africa! This year, the World Cup is being held on our continent, but the era of African football is not over. Now, we have a chance to win a Club World Cup! We want to dedicate this championship to all of Africa! This is our gift to Africa, and each of you will go down in history! ”

The phrase "a gift to Africa" is particularly motivating for Mazembe's players, because they are all players from Africa, mainly local players, and foreign players are also from Senegal.

They were all native-born Africans, and there was not a single other race in the team, all black.

Such a pure African group is also very touched by this concept.

They are willing to fight for all of Africa.

So they screamed like a stimulant, trying to go out and shred Lazio.

When the second half restarted, the commentators were still on the same three-way crossbar before the end of the first half.

Some people see this as an interesting episode, others as a bad omen.

Everyone's mood is different.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, but Mazembe still insisted on holding on and did not attack at all.

Their aim was clear, it was to drag it out until the penalty shootout.

Chang Sheng thought that when they were training behind closed doors, they should have focused on practicing penalties.

If they do drag them into a penalty shootout, it's hard to say whether Lazio can win or not.

Because Lazio didn't practice penalty kicks.

Chang Sheng knew what the other party would do, but he thought that with Lazio's strength, if he couldn't solve the battle in 90 minutes, it would be too weak.

So he didn't practice penalty kicks, but mainly practiced "how to break dense defense".

As the game progressed, it became clear that Mazembe was still tenacious, and more and more people supported him, and even the commentators wanted Mazembe to win the Club World Cup because it would make history. And if Lazio wins the championship, it will not mean anything special to everyone......

It's nothing more than one more six-time title in European football.

And if Mazembe wins the title, what a great significance it will be for African football......

That's why everybody wants Mazembe to win the title.

There are even those who feel that the current situation may be manipulated by FIFA.

In fact, when Mazembe reached the final, there were similar voices, conspiracy theorists believe that it is FIFA's intention to let Mazembe enter the final, and FIFA hopes to take this opportunity to show goodwill to Africa, perhaps as a return for the African Football Federation's support for Blatter.

Otherwise, it's really hard to explain why Internacional Brasil lost to Mazembe - of course, conspiracy theorists can't see Mazembe's super-strong tactical execution and well-targeted tactics in the game.

They will only think that there is a conspiracy behind all the games in which the underdog wins against the strong. For example, in 2004, Porto was able to reach the Champions League final, it must have been because the betting group manipulated the Champions League......

But at that time, everyone just thought that it would be good for Mazembe to reach the final.

Now it seems that conspiracy theorists suddenly think that FIFA is really amazing!

They don't just want Mazembe to reach the final, they want Mazembe to win the Club World Cup!

Take this opportunity to knock on UEFA, which has always been against FIFA.

Aren't you Platini's "favorite general" when you win?

Well, then I, Blatter, will make your love lose the six crowns!

Of course, these are all conspiracy theorists' thoughts.

This kind of argument is actually quite marketable among many fans.

Because everyone especially likes this kind of story of small magazines on the stalls.

As for conspiracy theories hurting players and teams who put in the effort to give it their all, the conspiracy theorists don't care.

In all fairness, Mazembe's performance in this game was really good, there was no conspiracy, and it was not impossible for them to draw with Lazio.

How else can you say that "football is round"?

Mazembe is indeed weaker, but if they all play at a high level, then anything is possible.

In the second half, Lazio also made tactical adjustments, playing more aggressively, more aggressively, and faster.

And when Lazio picked up the tempo, Mazembe began to feel the struggle.

Their airtight defence in the first half began to feel struggling in the second half.

After 55 minutes, Lazio picked up the pace even further, and Mazembe felt the pressure even as he huddled in the box.

At this time, they realized that the Lazio in the original first half was not the Lazio in full form.

When they held on to the 0-0 score in the first half, they were a little proud in their hearts, feeling that Lazio was nothing more than that.

But now they know how wrong they were!

Now this is Lazio in its full form!

Just the speed alone made them a little overwhelmed.

Not to mention their cross-cutting coordination, as well as the individual performance of the players......

In the 61st minute, Lazio launched a quick attack, passing from the flanks to the middle, and the pace was so fast that Mazembe could not keep up with their tempo.

Eventually, in the midst of this quick pass, Modric found a hole in Mazembe's defence, and he slipped the ball through.

Where David Silva appeared, he fired directly with his right foot, and the ball went around the goalkeeper of Mazembe and then directly into the far corner of the goal!

After being stunned for a moment, everyone shouted: "The ball is in!" David Silva - Lazio breaks the deadlock! They finally got the lead! 1：0！ ”

David Silva turned and ran with open arms and ran towards Modric, who was passing the ball to him.

Chang Sheng, who was on the sidelines, also sighed, and then raised his arms and shouted.

It's not easy, after 60 minutes, Lazio has finally scored!
