Lazio's away game against Inter Milan is the highlight of this round of Serie A, and it can even be said that it is the highlight of this season.

Because it's not just a big chance of deciding who wins the league, it's a contest between two of the best teams of the season, the two best managers, or two completely different styles of play.

Since 2006, the tactical style of world football has become more and more conservative.

Speaking of which, it has to do with Lazio and Constant Win.

At Valencia, Chang Sheng led Valencia to the treble, playing the most beautiful football in Europe at the time, and at the same time being able to win honours. This has led to a lot of teams vying to emulate them, and they are also looking forward to playing well and winning championships.

At that time, there were also media comments that Changsheng solved a problem that has always plagued the football world, that is, "winning the audience and winning the championship is the best of both worlds".

As a result, when there were more teams playing offensive football, defensive football began to quietly prevail in order to beat them.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea then found a new way after they won the Champions League in 20042005 with a sharp counter-attack and an impregnable defence.

That's the defensive counterattack.

As a result, more and more teams are devoting themselves to this tactic.

Of course, Barcelona's Dream II team briefly reverted to the 20052006 season.

However, in the 2006 World Cup, Italy, who emphasized defense and the whole world, relied on their magic weapon to defend and win the World Cup without being favored, which proved that defense is the mainstream in today's football.

In 20062007 season, AC Milan won the Champions League, and in fact, they relied on defensive counter-attacking tactics. They used Kaka's role to the fullest on the counter-attack, and they eventually won the Champions League, and Kaka was also awarded the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year.

And everyone found that Barcelona, like the winning Lazio and Rijkaard, although they are both excellent, have a fatal flaw. That is, their style of football and jingyàn are not generalizable.

Barcelona and Lazio's tactical mad dogs are the way they are, for their own reasons, and for very unique reasons.

Not all teams can play like Lazio and Barcelona, beautiful and winning.

Although their football is very advanced, it is very demanding for the team, and not all teams can play.

Naturally, such football has no basis for popularization.

Moreover, Barcelona also had the painful experience of being suppressed by Capello's iron-blooded Real Madrid, only Lazio is a strange flower, standing, but the success of such a team is really lacking in promotion significance.

Lazio is special. But the other teams are not special, not special at all.

What they need is a tactic that is simple and easy to promote and learn.

Defending and counterattacking is the best and most classic set of tactics.

It's as if Lazio is a good-looking but indeed priceless antique art, and this kind of thing is not something that anyone can just take out.

It's not something that everyone deliberately pursues.

Most teams just need civilian tactics.

The mainstream of tactics in world football is not to see who can use this tactic to win the championship, but to say how many teams use this tactic.

Obviously, teams like Lazio are in the minority. Chelsea's tactics are very common and any team will play. Even Lazio sometimes plays defensive counter-attacks.

The successes of the Italian national team, Chelsea and AC Milan have all proved that this tactic is the most practical, the easiest to pick up and the easiest to achieve.

Naturally, there are a lot of followers.

Although those who have aspiring football have angrily accused Mourinho's Chelsea of not contributing anything to world football, except for the first Champions League title in the history of Chelsea, leaving nothing for world football.

But who cares so much?

Who doesn't pursue only their own interests?

With so many people working in the football industry, why should I be held responsible for the development of world football? I just want to win championships for my team. What's wrong?

Besides, is playing well and fancy, the right direction for world football? Playing defensive counter-attack is a step backwards in world football?

Who prescribes?

What evidence and data are there to support this view?

Or do they all start with overtly subjective words like "I think" and "I feel"?

In fact, the controversy between offensive football and defensive counterattack has nothing to do with connotation and righteousness, and there is no need to rush to the platform.

In fact, it is just a contradiction between pragmatism and idealism.

The football in Barcelona and Lazio is good and beautiful though. It is very popular, but the cost of learning is too high, the gains outweigh the losses, and it is not practical for the vast majority of teams, so naturally no one uses it.

The tactics of defensive counterattacks are simple and direct, although they may not look good on the field, but they are better than practical, any team will, and it is easy to produce results.

It's like putting a practical screwdriver when you screw it, you have to learn martial arts masters to twist it with your bare hands, people have practiced, have you also practiced? If not, I'm afraid that your hands will be screwed out and the screws will not move.

No one is a fool, if you have to learn your complicated and difficult things, you may not be able to win a championship after 20 years of study.

In the field of pragmatism, Mourinho is naturally a central leader and has become a representative figure. Because he also plays football at Inter Milan, which is simple and direct, and the effect is good. If it weren't for Lazio's perverts, Inter Milan would have won the league title this season.

And in terms of idealism, Chang Sheng is naturally the most representative figure. All the way from Valencia, his team played the most beautiful football, delighted the crowd, and could have won the title more successfully than this idealist?

He completely reversed the impression that idealists were always synonymous with pathos, and he made idealism shine again. It was he who gave the idealists who were struggling in the world of football a reason to continue to hold on to their ideals......

The above are all the evaluations of a magazine on Changsheng.

But if Chang Sheng knew that these media actually chose him as a representative of idealists, he would definitely feel that these media really like to make up for their brains......

In fact, he was a pragmatist through and through, and how could Chang Sheng be an idealist after the failures of the previous life?

He certainly has his own ideals. And we have been working towards this ideal.

But at the same time, he is also a pragmatist, and since he knows that there are shortcuts on the way to realizing his ideals, why doesn't he take them?

A true idealist would rather take the path full of thorns and may die halfway through, but insist on going his own way.

And a pragmatist like Chang Sheng will not hesitate to choose the shortcut that is better. Even if the road is the path that someone else has walked, he doesn't care.

This is what he is really like as a pragmatist.

Pragmatists only think about the results, not the process.

Chang Sheng chose attacking football and chose Tikitaka, but precisely because he knew that doing so would lead him to victory. If he doesn't know where the future holds, he might choose to defend and counterattack.

Like that 2007 time travel back? ahref='/txt/22418/6846374/'> patience? Donne, Pep Guardiola's Barcelona and the Spanish national team's brilliant results are after 2008, Don doesn't know, after going back, he will naturally choose Capello's "useless theory of ball control".

Plainly. Both are pragmatists.

As a result, due to the misreading of the media, Chang Sheng and his Lazio life became the last mecca of idealists......

※※※

Another example that proves that Chang Sheng is not an idealist at all is that when the Italian media is discussing the importance of the game in terms of the future development of football, Chang Sheng does not care about the future trend of football at all, and only thinks about one thing how to beat Mourinho's Inter Milan at the Meazza Stadium.

There is the belief that you will win, but it is not enough to rely on faith to win, you also need to have the right tactics and strong execution.

Will Jose Mourinho's side play attacking football on their home turf?

Chang Sheng doesn't think so.

Although Lazio's situation is not good, this starting lineup can be regarded as the main force in any way.

And he has already said that Lazio wants to attack football. So Mourinho is more likely to play defensive counter-attacks.

But Chang Win thinks Mourinho will ask for a goal.

Don't play offensive football, but ask for goals. Isn't it contradictory?

Actually, it's not contradictory at all.

It's okay to emphasize efficiency when defending on the counter-attack.

As long as there is enough efficiency, the defensive counterattack can also score four or five goals in a game.

Think of Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid, which is the quintessential example.

And many people have misunderstood defensive counterattacks, defensive counterattacks do not mean passive and conservative, but more secure.

Therefore, Inter Milan will definitely emphasize efficiency in counter-attacking.

To be on the safe side, they won't press out when they have a chance to fight back. They will only choose the best opportunities.

Once or twice, three times, and that's it.

Every time you can score a goal, it will end up in a virtuous circle.

It would be an absolutely devastating blow to Lazio's morale, as it would give the illusion of "how they fight".

Furthermore. Inter Milan will certainly emphasize the concept of scoring first on their home turf.

As long as they can score first at home and take advantage of the home advantage, they can maintain an advantage over Lazio in terms of morale, which will also be conducive to their tactical development.

So Lazio is mainly about counter-attacking and their desire to score first.

In response to Inter Milan's defensive counterattack, the choice of winning is naturally possession. As long as you keep the football at your feet, the opponent's counter-attacking opportunities will definitely be reduced accordingly.

And the first goal, often winning does not require the team to defend stubbornly, solid defense or something, for Lazio, this is a good opportunity......

In fact, there is nothing to say about tactics, the key is actually the performance of the players on both sides, especially the players on Lazio's side.

Because they have experienced a series of fierce battles before, their physical fitness, state and psychology are unstable......

This constant victory cannot be controlled. Whether it's a competition skill or a training skill, there is no stable state. (To be continued......)
