In the 11th round of the league, Lazio faced Genoa at home.

In this game, Chang Sheng rotated, and many substitutes were given the opportunity to start.

Chang Sheng did this because they were going on an expedition to England next.

In the fourth game of the Champions League group stage, Lazio challenged Nottingham Forest away.

After the last game, Nottingham Forest manager Tony Brown. Don clamored to make himself look good.

Some media said that Tony. Don is nothing more than a bluff, in the words of Chang Sheng, "the distant barking of the negative dog".

Chang Sheng doesn't think so.

Nottingham Forest can draw with the likes of Real Madrid on their home turf, but not by bluffing.

There must be real material.

You must know that Real Madrid lost to Lazio in the first round of the group stage, and for them, the second round of the group stage is not much different from the back-to-back battle.

They are sure to win. Even if it's Nottingham Forest's home turf.

That's what Real Madrid thought and did, and they bombarded each other at Nottingham Forest's home stadium for 90 minutes before drawing 0-0 with them.

To say that Nottingham Forest rely on the method of spiritual victory is an absolute misreading.

They really have two brushes on defense.

This point, after fighting them personally, Chang Sheng is very clear.

Although and Tony. Tang En sprayed each other a lot, but Chang Sheng didn't dare to underestimate each other at all......

For Chang Sheng, the more fierce he is, the more he cares and attaches importance to it.

Those opponents he didn't pay attention to, and he didn't pay attention to them, he didn't even feel like he could squirt the other party.

As a famous handsome, this saliva is also very valuable, how can you spray it when you see someone?

Someone is famous for squirting with him.

The winning coaching staff basically didn't care about Genoa this week, and all their thoughts were on the away game against Nottingham Forest.

They took a closer look at footage of Nottingham Forest's home game against Real Madrid in the second round of the Champions League group stage.

I want to find some clues in it.

However, when it comes to research, it is no different from their tactical performance against Lazio away.

On the contrary, although Real Madrid must win, they are still a little light when facing Nottingham Forest.

Maybe it was this light enemy that prevented them from winning this game?

But Lazio have already played against Nottingham Forest, and what level they have has already figured out, Tony. Why did Donn dare to return to his home stadium and talk about beating Lazio?

Where is his trust?

Chang Sheng frowned and thought about it, but he didn't come up with a reason.

Then the day of the Champions League group stage away from home is approaching.

A league game against Genoa in the middle saw Lazio win 2-0 at home. Remain at the top of the league standings.

When the Lazio squad arrived in Nottingham, they received incredible attention from the local media.

Even when Real Madrid came here, it didn't attract so much media attention.

The pick-up gate at Nottingham Airport was almost jammed with these enthusiastic journalists.

In addition to the journalists, there were many fans, not only Lazio fans, but also Nottingham Forest fans.

Of course, they didn't come here to boo Lazio, but to catch a glimpse of the European hegemons of yesteryear.

In any case, Lazio have been the most successful players in European football for the past fourteen years, and the glory they have achieved has left everyone jaw-dropping.

At their peak, there were plenty of their local fans everywhere they went, and that was the glory of Lazio.

With the decline of Lazio in the past two years, such things have become less and less.

So it was a bit flattering when Lazio's players were greeted with such a grand welcome outside Nottingham's airport.

The questions raised by the local media in Nottingham were not too aggressive, and the atmosphere was generally friendly.

The atmosphere of welcome surprised the Lazio players.

Chang Sheng was even more surprised.

He thinks to Tony. Donne's temper, leading the team to Nottingham by himself, is tantamount to an adventure into the tiger's den alone.

I didn't expect it to be so easy......

He wondered if he had gone to the wrong place and went to Derby County next door - Derby County and Nottingham Forest are bitter enemies, so Derby County fans will naturally be friendly to Lazio, because Lazio is Nottingham Forest's opponent, and they hope that Lazio can beat Nottingham Forest.

The day before the match, the whole Lazio squad went to Nottingham Forest's City Stadium for a training session on acclimatisation.

Everything works fine.

Chang Sheng carefully observed the turf and other facilities of the city stadium and found that everything was normal and there was nothing wrong.

He dismissed speculation that Nottingham Forest might be playing on the home field.

All in all, the Lazio players completed their pre-match warm-up very smoothly.

In the pre-match press conference, Chang Sheng still focused on playing with Tony. Don spat at each other.

Tony. Donn spewed "hubris" at his pre-match press conference earlier in the game.

Chang Sheng hit back at his pre-match press conference: "I think Tony. Mr. Donn was even more arrogant. He spread his hands and smiled. I've got nine Champions League titles, Tony. What does Mr. Don have? ”

In fact, it is a very tasteless thing to use the honor of one's life to oppress others. After all, it is better to win than Tony. Don En is old and also debuted early.

So he must have received more honors.

There is some meaning that the elders bully the juniors.

But that's what Chang Sheng did, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.

And the media didn't think there was anything wrong with him doing so.

Obviously, everyone is familiar with Chang Sheng's style of doing things.

That's the controversial side of him.

People who like him like him very much, people who don't like him very much, never compromised, as long as you know him as a person, your opinion of him must be one of these two.

Chang Sheng uses his own honor to press Tony. Donn, it's obvious bullying.

But Tony. There's no way out of Don's way of winning a lot.

Who made him really inferior in honor?

He spent seven years at Nottingham Forest and in seven years he won two lower league titles, an FA Cup and a League Cup, but nothing else.

He has never won the Premier League title, not counting the Champions League this time, he has participated in three European competitions, and he has not won anything.

Compared with Chang Sheng, Tony. Don is indeed weak.

So looking at the smiling Chang Sheng, Tony. Naturally, Don could only hold this breath in his chest, waiting for tomorrow's game to teach the arrogant Chang Sheng a lesson.

※※※

At the pre-match press conference, Tony. Don also showed his confidence once again.

'We can beat Lazio for sure. Because I believe we can! ”

Naturally, this was considered a typical bluff by the media, because there was nothing dry at all.

Chang Sheng, like the rest of the media, is also interested in Tony. It was strange that Don would be so confident.

But he couldn't find a reason.

So in the end, I can only think of this thing as Tony. Donn's psychological warfare is up.

But...... What kind of psychological warfare is this? How can he influence himself and the Lazio players?

It's not clear at all......

The next day the game came as scheduled.

When the players go out to warm up, Chang Sheng prepares in the dressing room, which is his habit, and he rarely or even does not go out to watch the team warm up live.

At this time, he is alone in the locker room, and he can enjoy a rare tranquility.

In a stressful situation, this is a great opportunity to relax yourself.

But today, the situation was exceptional, he had just fallen into deep thought, and the door of the dressing room was slammed open.

Disturbed, he raised his head and glared at him very unhappily.

Then he saw Thiago limping in, supported by the team doctor.

"How is this going on?" Chang Sheng stood up and asked with a frown.

"Uh...... Often, Thiago injured his ankle during the warm-up......" said the team doctor with a frown.

"Hurt your ankle? What's going on? ”

It's not uncommon to get injured in the pre-match warm-up. It's not something incredible.

However, it will be troublesome to encounter such a thing.

Because the starting list will be adjusted temporarily.

Thiago was the player who started this game and now he is injured and he has to be replaced.

Fortunately, I used the rotation so that everyone could cooperate with each other, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

However, he had to ask what exactly caused Thiago's injury.

The team doctor was just about to answer when the door was slammed open again.

Chang Sheng turned his head to look over, and he was suddenly a little worried about whether another wounded person would be sent in.

Fortunately, this time it was not one person pestering another person limping in, but the flaming assistant coach Rudy. Gonzalez.

"Often."

He glanced at Thiago and then said to Trunn: "There's a problem with the pitch at Nottingham Forest. ”

Chang Sheng was surprised: "Something? What's the problem? ”

"It's completely different from yesterday when we were acclimatizing to the venue!"

Chang Sheng smiled: "Why is it different?" Wouldn't they be able to change the pitch? ”

Rudy. Gonzalez smiled wryly: "I'm afraid they really just changed the stadium......"

Chang Sheng's eyes widened: "If it weren't for the two of us working together for more than twenty years, I would have thought you were teasing me, Rudy." ”

"According to the reaction of the warm-up players, the field was uneven and floppy, and playing on it was like playing on a rotten vegetable field! If you're not careful, you're prone to injury. Thiago accidentally stepped into a pit during the warm-up and injured his ankle..."

He pointed at Thiago, and the team doctor who was holding Thiago nodded his head, confirming Rudy. Gonzalez's statement.

Chang Sheng looked up at the ceiling.

Well, now at least I know that Tony. Why is Don so confident that he can beat us...... (To be continued.)
