The technical and tactical training went smoothly, and the players' favorability of their boss was greatly improved with a meal.

For Chang Sheng, everything is ready now, and only the east wind is owed.

The 20052006 Serie A season kicked off on August 27.

The opening match was Livorno's home game against Lecce "Little Pepper".

A day later, the teams appeared one after another, and the league was in full swing.

Lazio's first league game was at home to Messina.

The opponent is stronger than last season's Lazio. Because as a promoted horse, Messina finished seventh in the league after the league last season, higher than the Roma duo.

For such an opponent, Chang Sheng does not dare to take it lightly.

Because the first defeat he suffered in Roma last season was given by Messina. It was in the second round of the league when Roma took on Messina away.

Messina's home stadium is located on the island of Sicily, where the fans are extremely fanatical, and Chang Sheng and Roma feel the "enthusiasm" of the Sicilian fans.

Although Montella "Glider" scored a hat-trick in the race, it still did not help to change the result.

In the end, after 90 minutes of fierce battle, Roma lost 3:4 to Messina away.

That match was also the trigger for Totti to jump out and speak out against him.

After the loss, the Italian media ridiculed Chang Won.

"He can't even win the promotion horse, what do you expect Roma to get a new lease of life in his hands?"

"It was a great example of how unsuited Italian football is to always winning, and Montella broke out but still couldn't prevent the team from losing. Then the responsibility is definitely not on the players, but on the manager......

This was the evaluation of Chang Sheng by the media at the time.

So if you want to say anything, in fact, Chang Sheng and Messina have quite a relationship.

※※※

This time, before the start of the new season. Messina has once again encountered a constant victory, and the psychological warfare before the game is definitely going to be fought.

Messina's head coach Botolo. Speaking to reporters, Muti said his team was not afraid of Lazio at all, even though Lazio had just beaten Deportivo 5-0 in the Intertoto Cup.

'I have a mental advantage against Chang because we beat him last season. Fifty-one-year-old Muti said half-jokingly. "I hope that when the competition comes, I will succeed in bringing back memories that are often not very pleasant."

Roma supporters are also cheering Messina on.

"Messina is the finisher who wins permanently, and the match with Messina will definitely make Perennial unlucky!"

on this. How does Chang Sheng answer?

He smiled slightly: "Yes, I lost to Messina last year. But that's because I'm coaching Roma, not Lazio. ”

This answer won him the favor of the Lazio fans, but it also offended the Roma fans even more.

Chang Sheng has long been aware of this, so he will not be merciful when it is time to strike his opponent.

Anyway, when he jumped to his sworn enemy in the same city, the Roma fans had already pronounced his death sentence.

After the news came out, some Roma fans burned the portrait of Chang Sheng and the five-star red flag representing his nationality in the street.

In this way, it expresses its anger at Chang Sheng.

So Chang Sheng has already offended the Roma fans.

"Roma Sport" advised Chang Sheng not to get carried away before the game, lest one mistake turn into a thousand hatreds.

They believe that Roma, who were always on the winning side last season, lost to Messina away from home because they were too often on top.

Chang Sheng is too lazy to fight this kind of spat lawsuit with reporters.

He is well aware of the conduct of the media.

As long as he can lead Lazio to beat Messina. Then the media don't have any.

The football world is the favorite of Chang Sheng, the winner is king, as long as he can win, he is a strong man with the right to speak.

Victories in one game after another are piled up, and in this circle, you can gain enough high status and prestige.

This is much better than being a grandson with a tail between legs in other industries.

Rome's Stadio Olimpico is no stranger to winning permanence.

He came here once when he wasn't a Roma manager and he beat Roma here. It was his only win for Valencia in Italy, and his name was etched in the heart of Club of Rome president Sensi. This paved the way for his later coaching in Rome.

Later, when he became the head coach of Roma, which was his home stadium, he became more familiar with the stadium.

It's just that he has only been the master of thirteen rounds of leagues, and he was swept away.

When he was swept away, he didn't think he would stay in the stadium, but he changed the dressing room......

Before the official start of the league. Chang Sheng suddenly came to the court on a whim and came to the court alone.

He walked around the pitch by himself, trampling the turf around the edge of the pitch.

He doesn't know how long he'll be at Lazio, but he's going to let the stadium have its own legacy.

Although Lotito said that he is planning to build a new football stadium belonging to Lazio FC and no longer share a stadium with Roma.

You can always win the understanding of the future. He was well aware that even in the summer of 2012, Lotito had not achieved that goal.

So the Olympic Stadium still has time to conquer itself.

In the end, Chang Sheng stopped in front of the dugout in Rome, and he looked at the empty dugout.

It was here half a year ago, a year ago, that he began his conquest of Italy.

At that time, he was full of ambition, and with the halo of the Treble and the youngest champion in the history of the Champions League, he drove to the eternal city of Rome.

He thought he would set foot on Rome and conquer the Apennines.

Unexpectedly, he was swept away in less than half a season, and suffered the most painful failure since he became the head coach.

That kind of pain even made him feel like he hadn't seen it for a long time. The last time he felt so humiliated was before he became a manager, when he was still coaching Real Madrid's junior team.

Then when he became the first team manager, he was accompanied by an aura of victories and championships, and he became a person who could do anything in the eyes of ordinary people, no matter how difficult the situation. He can lead the team to the championship.

Even he didn't think he could lose.

It was at this time that he encountered Waterloo in Rome.

made him understand that he was not yet invincible in the world.

Although he can handle "the most complicated dressing room in La Liga", he can't handle the Roma dressing room with Totti.

Although he can defeat the enemies on the field, he has no way to deal with the Sensi family, which is deeply rooted in Rome.

The experience in Rome will be an invaluable experience for him.

But the way he got out of class and many things that happened after it made him have a deep grudge against the Club of Rome.

Thankfully, Lotito gave himself the opportunity to prove his worth and his mistakes right under Sensi's nose.

This experience in Rome became a source of motivation for him.

Now he looks at the dugout in Rome. My former self is standing here directing the game.

Tomorrow I'll be directing the game next door.

It's going to be a new life.

It's Lazio's, and it's its own.

Messina did come to the Stadio Olimpico with the mentality of giving Chang Sheng and Lazio trouble.

Judging by the first 10 minutes of the game, it was not all luck that they were able to beat a winning side Roma last season and finish seventh in the league.

This small Italian team is playing the most traditional Italian football defense and counterattack.

Lay down heavy reinforcements at the edge of their penalty area and wait for Lazio to attack, and as soon as Lazio are cut off in the middle of the attack, they will immediately counter-attack. However, they did not invest much in the offensive. Only rely on the small cooperation of two or three people in the front court, score goals if you can score, and pull down if you can't score, at least it will not affect your defense.

They came with the mentality that even if you win, you can win that point.

A lot of teams hate playing against such opponents the most, because the game will be played awkwardly, like being in a deep quagmire, and no matter how much you can do, you can't use it at all.

It can be dull to finish a game. Nothing spectacular.

Fans tend not to like counter-attacking defensively, and that's why too.

Last season. Roma, who are always winning, lost to Messina away from home, and Messina also played a defensive counterattack, and as a result, Roma was too much back in that game. Montella scored three goals, and Messina scored four goals on the counter-attack......

Even Chang Sheng didn't understand how he lost this game......

But that doesn't matter anymore, and the team that is now coached by the Abnormal Victory has also been replaced by Lazio.

After a summer of grinding and training, this Lazio team is no longer what it used to be. Chang Sheng, who follows the team every day, naturally knows the progress and ability of this team best.

If Messina's manager Muti still looks at Lazio with old eyes, Chang Sheng doesn't mind letting him die blindly......

The Italian media always said that the tactics of winning would get bogged down in Italy's defensive quagmire and not be able to be used. Because the Italian team simply won't give him the space and time he needs to win.

In fact, there is some truth in what these media say, Italian football attaches great importance to defense, so they have strict restrictions on space and time in the game.

Directly copying Valencia's set, it is really impossible to mix it up here.

But the modified Mad Dog tactics are different.

Because after speeding up. The impact is enhanced.

In the face of a mature defensive system, it is not always possible to find loopholes in the back-and-forth on the perimeter.

If you never try to get in, then the opponent's defense will not be hit in any way.

Winning now allows every Lazio attacking player to turn into a battering ram and hit Messina's goal.

The constant use of speed and technique, as well as the combination of passing and cutting, to attack Messina's defence, completely disrupted their defensive strategy, created a situation where every place could become a gap for Lazio to break through, and the situation was everywhere, making Messina lose his cool in defense and take care of one or the other.

That's why Changsheng requires every player to have a balanced all-rounder when they bring in reinforcements. Defensive midfielders have to be able to rush up and kick it, and that's qualified.

When Chang Sheng puts this team together, they will show their terrifying quality.

Taking Messina is indeed a good idea.

Because their defence is typical, as is the core of the tactics of many other Italian teams.

Although his tactics performed well in the International Toto Cup, after all, it was an unexpected Italian team, and so far, except for the warm-up games, he has not played against the Italian team seriously.

He wanted to see if his improved tactics could really help him conquer Italy! (To be continued)
