Chapter 137: Doing Good?
Preparation is always very short, as there are only three days left in the Champions League group stage in midweek.
On Sunday afternoon, eighteen Lazio players from the squad showed up at the Stade Frankie to warm up. The sun was a little dazzling, but there were a lot of fans on both sides in the stands.
David. Silva warmed up in the harsh sun on the pitch as he kept his head down and passed the ball back and forth with his team-mates.
Lazio's warm-up is mainly about passing, all kinds of passing. Two people pass to each other, three people run while doing a triangular pass, and a group of people form a circle and tease the monkey......
These are Lazio's pre-match warm-ups.
The shooting warm-up is actually a fairly small percentage of the overall warm-up.
Even the goalkeeper has to participate in the warm-up in the form of monkey teasing. Because you have to beware of the situation if you pass back to the goalkeeper and the opposing striker is also pressing the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper can calmly play the ball when he is pressing, and he can defuse the crisis, and at the same time, he can create a beautiful counter-attacking opportunity.
David. Silva did quite a warm-up with this warm-up.
Because passing is very important, as a playmaker, he needs to pass accurately and consistently.
He's got his mindset right now, he doesn't see himself as a successful player, he sees him as a pure newcomer.
He is the most conscientious and hardworking in everything he does, and he believes that he will be able to succeed again.

After the warm-up, players from both sides returned to the dressing room.
In the dressing room at Fiorentina, Prandelli said to his players: "The key man in this game is Motta, he is the key to Lazio's attack and we have to contain Motta's play. As long as we control the ball in Lazio's attack, Lazio's attack will not be able to threaten us in this game......"
Prandelli has the confidence to say this because Lazio's starting line-up for this game has already come out. Lazio did not feature players like Luka Modric, Gotze, Cazorla and Cavani who had played against Liverpool.
This Lazio team is not the strongest team, so Fiorentina has a chance to take advantage of it.
In fact, seriously speaking, this kind of thinking is very sad that Fiorentina can't beat Lazio, who has the strongest team, and can only take advantage of Lazio's napping and substitution, and take the opportunity to sneak attack once.
When did Fiorentina need to do this if they wanted to win against Lazio?
But it can't be helped. Whoever calls Lazio is strong.
People are just amazing, they are awesome, if you don't do this, Florence won't even have a chance to win!

Meanwhile, in another locker room, Tsuneth was telling his players: "I'm sure any manager with a normal IQ will focus on Motta when he sees our starting lineup." Because Motta played very well in the final stages of last season. It would be great if they thought so. Let's surprise them a little! ”
As he spoke, he looked at David. Silva.
this game. In fact, he still took the risk, he didn't let Hernanes start, but let David . Silva and Motta form a dual core. In this way, once Motta is targeted, he can't be more involved in the attack, and David. Silva is in the same slump as before, out of form. Then the result could be fantastic.
Of course, he could have substituted Hernanes, but the previous tactics had revolved around David. Silva came to work out. Position of Hernanes and David. Silva is different, and the tactics are unlikely to work seamlessly.
The effect is certainly not too good.
So winning is putting the bet on David. Silva.
If David. Silva didn't do well. As a result, Lazio was not able to win again, so David. Both Silva and himself will be under tremendous pressure, and David. Silva is probably under more pressure than he is.
In this way, to David. Silva's transition could be a downturn.
But just like Changsheng himself said, whether it is him or David. Silva has to bear that pressure. Sooner or later.
Earlier is not necessarily better than later, and being late is not necessarily better than being earlier.
To play professional competitive sports, you have to have an adventurous spirit to play well.
Those who are afraid of wolves and tigers are afraid of the future, and if you look forward and backward, then nothing will be good. In the end, nothing can be accomplished.
"They would never have imagined that you would take the baton. David. When Motta is frozen, you organize the attack, just like you did in training. You've been training on the training ground for a month, and I'm sure you can't be without any improvement, right? ”
David. Silva nodded.
"You know what to do, so let's do it!"

When the game began, as Tsushiro said, Motta was heavily defended by Fiorentina.
Donadale and Cristiano. Zanetti's two midfielders are dedicated to defending Motta.
The main player is Zanetti, who transferred from Juventus, and Donadale is on the side.
These two men pose a great threat to Motta.
In the first ten minutes of the game, Lazio's attack was largely unfought.
It's because Mota was restrained by the other party.
Prandelli was pleased to see this scene on the sidelines.
He has not dealt with Chang Sheng once or twice, and he is very familiar with Chang Sheng.
It was he who came to Roma at the beginning, took over the position of Chang Sheng, and then Chang Sheng became the head coach of Lazio, and as the head coach of Roma, he naturally had to play against Lazio, although he did not win at all, but he accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with Chang Sheng, as well as Lazio.
When he moved to Fiorentina, he put that experience to use, and he finally had a winning record against Chang Sheng.
20072008 season, Lazio won the double that season, they were league champions and Champions League winners.
Fiorentina and Reggina were the only two teams Lazio did not win that season.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are the only team that have not lost to Lazio and have been able to beat Lazio.
Reggina drew with Lazio in both games, while Fiorentina drew 1-1 away at Lazio and beat Lazio 1-0 at home.
Now, he has hopes of beating a winning Lazio once again.

"Motta is completely frozen, while the others are the backs of the organization. He's going to be further back, if he can't go up, he can't get close to Fiorentina's goal, and if he can't get close to Fiorentina's goal, he can't threaten the opposition......"
Narrator Caresa said.
'Motta is not the same as Modric, who has a very sharp long-range shot. When he can't open up the game with his passes, he tends to shoot from distance and it works wonders. ”
Chang Sheng walked to the sidelines, he didn't make any gestures, he just stood there.
David. Silva saw this move of his.
He knew he had to do it.
He was a little hesitant before.
Now he has no choice than nothing.
If he doesn't step up, Lazio's attack will be paralyzed.
Whether he can do it or not, he will also carry this burden on his shoulders.
So when Motta took the ball again, he was surrounded by the opponent and couldn't organize an attack. David. Silva cut inside from the left and dropped back to the flank.
Motta saw his teammates' running path in the gap.
Then a screenshot of the animation that the Boss had shown them in the tactics class came to his mind.
How should it be transmitted in this case?
Pass the football directly to David. Silva's feet?
No, there are better options!
Motta shook his ankle and the ball slipped between the legs of Zanetti, who was defending him!
The ball came fast and suddenly!
The soccer ball was rolling on the turf.
It doesn't look like it's going to be passed on to David. Silva's.
Because the distance is so close, such a powerful pass, David. Silva may not be able to stop.
As a result, the Fiorentina players did not pay attention to David right away. Silva, but thinking about David. Which Lazio player is behind Silva?
Pullback to answer David. Silva faced the ball and made a sharp stop. made a feint to turn the ball around, and deceived the Fiorentina player who followed him into a sharp stop. I'm going to turn around and chase back, and go to break the ball first.
Silva did turn around, but football didn't.
Because of David. Silva slammed the ball with his heel to Merreles next to him as he turned!
The ball was so hidden that Merreles didn't even expect it!
The football came to him before he acted, but he stopped very reluctantly. After some adjustments, the opportunity was gone.
"Lazio's chances to attack...... Ah! Silva didn't pass the ball well, it was a little bigger, and Meireles looked a little embarrassed to catch the ball, and almost strained his thigh...... This is the end of the attack! ”
The narrator complained.
※※※
The commentator and many TV viewers thought the ball was David. Silva's responsibility.
But David. Silva himself doesn't see it that way. He saw that Mereles didn't stop the ball at the first time and then pass it out, and the pass he had just made was wasted.
So he said to Merreles very seriously: "Focus, Merreles! ”
As a player in the current Lazio team with seniority behind Rocchi and Luka Modric, he is serious, and it makes Meireles, who has only just joined the team, feel a lot of pressure.
Although during this time David. Silva is not in good form, but he can put on a show in front of Mereles.
Mereles nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it's my problem......"
David. Silva saw Merreles nod, then turned and ran away.
※※※
Chang Sheng saw everything before and after on the sidelines, just now David. Was Silva's pass bad?
No!
If Merreles had started the run early, he could have picked up David just right. Silva's ball, comfortable couldn't be more comfortable, and then he shoved the ball straight forward, turned and ran David. Silva can pick up his pass, and then the attack comes out.
But alas, David. Silva's passing was so subtle that not only his opponent was deceived, but his own people were deceived......
The attack didn't work, but the constant victory was against David. Silva is full of confidence.
He clenched his fists.
From this ball, it may be seen that David. Silva was in good shape today!
His skill, his body, and his consciousness!
All good!
