While the Roma fans were still grieving, while the Lazio fans were still cheering, Chang Sheng had already led Lazio back on the road.

After the match against Roma, it will be followed by the UEFA Cup group stage against the Moscow Zhōngyāng Army in midweek.

The whole Lazio team went to Moscow in the ice and snow to play a game of ice hockey against their opponents.

At the end of October, Moscow had already entered winter, the first snow had already come, and now Moscow is getting their third snow of the winter

The weather forecast gives the lowest temperature in Moscow as minus four degrees.

Low temperatures, high winds, and goose-feather snow.

These are all tests for Lazio.

To be honest, for Chang Sheng, he didn't have the experience of leading the team to Russia in the winter.

This is the first time.

However, he has the experience of playing football in the winter, whether it is in this life or in the previous life.

Because his home is in northern China, a traditional heavy industrial city.

There is a lot of snow every year in winter, and the temperature is very low.

It's actually pretty cool to play football when it's snowing

But for professional football, that's not a good thing.

Amateur football is very cool to play on a snowy day because it is fun, and in a snowy field, you can enjoy those dangerous actions that you usually dare not do, such as flying tackles, such as barbs, such as volleying shè, such as fish jumping to the top......

But these things are commonplace in professional football, and players who have been trained well and professionally do not need to be in the snow to have the courage to do those moves.

On the contrary, a slippery field can cause them a lot of trouble, such as inexplicable slipping, such as not catching the ball that should be received...... It's the most annoying situation for the manager.

Snow football, no one will like it.

But Chang Sheng has a ...... this time

But Chang Sheng doesn't feel unlucky. Instead, he sees it as a process of gaining experience.

As a manager, you always have to have a way to deal with every situation.

Where does this correspondence come from?

From experience.

If you don't experience it, how can you experience it?

So, in the Russian winter, against the howling cold wind and heavy snow, there is a real game against the Moscow team. It is important and rare for a constant victory that requires experience.

So Chang Sheng came to Russia with the mentality of accumulating experience, and when he saw the situation outside, he didn't frown and scold his mother.

He is still more optimistic.

Even if you lose, it's not a big deal, it's just the first game.

Chang Sheng's confidence in Lazio is still quite strong.

※※※

The mentality of winning is good, but the Lazio players don't seem to be very used to the weather because it is too cold.

Italy in late October. It's still autumn at this time, and it's suddenly going to be cold from autumn, and I can't stand it.

In order to get the players used in, Rudy. Gonzalez puts a lot of emphasis on warming up.

The team increased the warm-up time from the previous 20 minutes to 30 minutes, and required sufficient intensity.

Rudy. Gonzalez had a whistle in his mouth and kept an eye on every player in the pre-match warm-up, and if one guy didn't try hard enough in the warm-up, his shrill whistle would follow. Then he rushed to him and yelled at him: "Warm up, warm up!" Be serious for me! If you don't want to get hurt! ”

Back in the locker room. Everyone's body is emitting a white vapour.

The locker room was a bit of a misty wonderland for a while.

Before the start of this game, Chang Sheng has to make a final speech.

Unlike usual, Chang Sheng did not shout "I just want to win", instead, he focused more on the physical health of his players than on the result.

"I just have one request. Don't get hurt. ”

※※※

Although I said not to get hurt, I can't control this thing...... His system doesn't care about that.

So in the 40th minute of the game, the old goalkeeper Peruzzi strained his back muscle in another save......

Because the field was slippery, he stumbled when he kicked on his side. Habitual xìng caused a twist in the back and muscle strain.

Although he still stubbornly poked the football out with his fingertips, he could no longer stand up.

So Chang Sheng had to let the twenty-one-year-old backup goalkeeper Samir. Handanovic played.

He couldn't even give Handanovic much time to warm up, and could only pray that Handanovic wouldn't go up and repeat Peruzzi's mistakes.

"I'm still saying that, Samir." Chang Sheng patted Handanovic on the shoulder and said solemnly. "Don't get hurt, if you have to choose between conceding a ball and getting injured, just choose to concede the ball."

If Peruzzi hadn't been trying to save the ball just now, he wouldn't have been injured.

But Chang Sheng can't blame others, after all, people are for victory. The injury can only be described as bad luck......

Handanovic nodded and went on the pitch.

Looking at Handanovic's back from the sidelines, Chang Sheng suddenly thought of Buffon's debut in the Italian national team.

The game that made Buffon famous was on October 28, 1997, which is a bit close to the current rì. That match was a World Cup qualifier between the Italian national team and the Russian national team, and Italy played away. In the ice and snow of Moscow, Italy's number one national gate Pagliuca was injured, and Buffon was ordered to play without even warming up.

The match was a fateful match for both sides, and Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin even went to the Dynamo Stadium in Moscow to cheer on the Russian team.

As a result, Buffon, who was in danger, made a series of jīng Cai saves, high and low, and finally helped the Italian national team draw 1:1 with Russia away.

Chang Sheng thought to himself, could it be that this game will also become Handanovic's famous match?

※※※

History is strikingly similar sometimes.

Handanovic stood on the goal line and showed composure.

He keeps in mind his winning words and rarely makes difficult saves. But that doesn't mean he'll let the ball fly into the back of the net easily.

Because he knows how to make up for it in other ways.

Goalkeeping, not diving, not saving The more beautiful the action, the more difficult it is. The better it is.

A good goalkeeper should be the one who uses as few difficult saves as possible.

Because he can make up for it with his quick transposition and the ability to pick a position.

In many cases, as long as he is in the right position, he only needs to make a simple standard save to win the ball.

So he managed to solve the problem of not being injured and not conceding a goal.

Let those who thought Peruzzi, the old goalkeeper, go off injured. The players of the Moscow zhōngyāng army, which had an opportunity, were at a loss.

Even the narrator exclaimed: "Samir. Handanovic! His choice of place was excellent! Very robust! Lazio withstood the offensive of the Moscow army during this period, and Handanovich made great contributions. But in the whole of European football, he is still a nobody! I'm afraid that after watching today's game, many people will ask: Who is he?! ”

※※※

At halftime, the score was 0:0, there were not many bright spots, most of the time it was people on their backs, but not because of a rough foul, but because the field was too slippery.

Even if you change into spike football boots, it won't help.

In some places, there are too many because they have been trampled. The snow turned to water, and the water froze into ice......

The only two points in the first half were Samir. Handanovic's imminent appointment is impressive.

Originally, they thought that Peruzi's injury would put Lazio in a difficult situation, but Handanovic used a steady performance to block the advance of Moscow's Zōngyāng Army......

At half-time, it was rare to praise Handanovic for his winning success.

This made the young goalkeeper a little embarrassed.

However, before the start of the second half, Chang Sheng still specially told Handanovic: "Don't get hurt!" ”

Peruzzi is already injured and it is not yet known how long he will be out for the game.

Handanovic is the only goalkeeper he can use right now.

As for the third goalkeeper De. Angeles. It's purely soy sauce, and Chang Sheng doesn't trust him. Won't give him any chance, he just comes to fill the number. Because the first team needs three goalkeepers.

Handanovic proved his quality in the first half for five or six minutes and made Everwin happy.

This is already the seedling of an excellent goalkeeper, with a malleable talent, which can be cultivated well. At this time, you must not get hurt.

So he's telling the truth. He would rather lose this match than get Handanovic injured.

It's not a big deal to lose a game, as long as Handanovic doesn't get injured, the results are guaranteed in the future.

But even if the game was won, Handanovic was injured. Several games in the future could be affected.

※※※

All three goals of the game came in the second half.

But it's different from what many people think, and it's even different from what Chang Sheng thinks.

Everyone thought that the Moscow Army, which was fighting at home, should be able to take Lazio with such a familiar weather.

It was the Lazio players who scored two out of three goals.

Luka Modric and Marchisio scored a goal each to help Lazio win 2-1 away at Moscow's Zōngyāng Army.

Except for Peruzi's injury, everything was perfect. In particular, Handanovic's performance is a conceded goal, which does not mean anything.

And because of Handanovic's performance, Chang Sheng is not so anxious about Peruzzi's injury......

At the end of the match, Chang Sheng hugged Handanovic on the sidelines and thanked him for his performance in this match.

Handanovic, on the other hand, kept the match ball in his collection as a memento of his career.

In this way, Lazio took away three points in the ice and snow of Moscow.

This gave them a good start from qualifying for the group stage of the UEFA Cup. (To be continued.) )
