Chapter 65: The Beginning of the New Year
When the Lazio players came to this Christmas dinner, they were embarrassed because they felt so shabby that it was a shame to say it.
But when they left, their faces were red and excited.
They had a meaningful and interesting Christmas dinner.
Which team can invite international superstars to sing live at a dinner party, one after another?
Which team's dinner party can see the emotional gossip and bloody drama of the team's head coach staged live?
Which team will see an international superstar show their affection to our head coach on the spot?
Only Lazio has it!
You can't see such a wonderful scene, only us! Ha!
So the Lazio players suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with having a Christmas dinner in the restaurant inside the team's training base.
Everyone spent three hours together in a relaxed and enjoyable way.
Then they went back to their homes.
Strength and conditioning coach Elias. Dominic told them one by one at the door not to go too crazy during the holidays.
And Chang Sheng put his arm around Avril and watched the players leave.
"Thank you, Avril." Chang Sheng turned to Avril and said.
"You're so kind, uncle. Which of us is with whom? "Avril doesn't care.
"That being said, but if your brokerage company knows about this, I'm afraid you'll be very embarrassed, right?"
Avril grinned and said, "Hehe, I've already embarrassed them anyway." It doesn't matter! ”
"How long can you stay?" Chang Sheng asked.
"After Christmas, we have to go back."
That is to say...... Twenty-sixth? ”
Avril nodded.
Chang Sheng sighed in his heart.
I didn't have a relationship with Avril before, but now I have a feeling that I haven't seen each other for a day.
How can they endure this kind of gathering less and leaving more when they are in love?
But it can't be helped, who made both of them celebrities and have their own jobs and careers?
It is impossible for Chang Sheng to let Avril put down her career and concentrate on accompanying him...... In that case. I have a career to do, but what about Avril? It's not fair to Avril. Such a dynamic girl should have her own world.
Seeing that Chang Sheng didn't speak, Avril was silent.
Avril had the same thoughts in her mind as she always won.
Gather less and leave more, so that they cherish every reunion more.
Let me stay with you for the next few days, uncle......
※※※
In the past few days, Avril and Chang Sheng have been inseparable.
No matter where they went, the two of them always held hands and did not hide from the reporter's camera. I don't care about other people's eyes.
Chang Sheng and Avril performed a new era of "Roman Holiday".
They have been found in both famous and unspecified sights in Rome.
Until Avril left, Chang Sheng was a little stunned.
When I woke up in the morning and looked at the empty apartment, it was a little unreal.
The way to self-regulate is to delve into football tactics.
He didn't go anywhere this holiday but watched the video of the game in his own home. Occasionally play FM, go to domestic forums with vests to fight mouths, and brush posts.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it's time to resume training.
Chang Sheng led the coaching staff to conduct a physical examination of every player who returned to the team to check whether they took good care of their feathers during the holidays.
Players who are overweight and have excess fat will all be punished.
It's normal to be able to train with the team.
During this time, not only could I not train with the team, but I also could not participate in competitions.
It doesn't matter if it's the main force or not It doesn't matter how important the game is.
※※※
The first match of 2006 was the 18th round of the league, with Lazio hosting Ascoli on 8 January.
Kick-off at 10 p.m. Beijing time, which is a good time for Chinese fans to watch the game.
Since Chang Sheng came to Rome. CCTV's Serie A live broadcast focused on the games of the ever-winning coaching team.
This has even caused dissatisfaction among fans of the three traditional giants. They look at the stars on the pitch and you are a manager doing well, who can see that? After all, not everyone is interested in studying what tactics the manager uses.
CCTV has repeatedly put aside the games that should have belonged to Milan and Juventus and broadcast the games in Rome. was scolded by many fans that CCTV is a brainless fan who wins often.
Later, Chang Sheng got out of Rome, and CCTV's broadcast finally returned to normal.
But more than half a season later. Chang Sheng is back and coaching Lazio!
So CCTV once again became a brain-dead fan who often wins, and they don't care how the fans of the three giants make a fuss, anyway, they insist on focusing on the live broadcast of Lazio's game. If the big three and Lazio don't have a conflict, it's okay, if it's not in one day, then it's fine.
But if there is a conflict, even if the previous game starts just after the end of the game, CCTV will decisively give up broadcasting the games of the three giants to leave enough time for the live broadcast of Lazio's game.
There are many dissatisfaction among the fans of the three giants, but there is no way, the vast majority of fans are not on their side.
Because everyone found that Lazio's game was really good, and it was completely different from the one in Rome.
Lazio is under the guidance of constant victory
, it seems to have been reborn.
Lazio's results are also outstanding, attracting the attention of many neutral fans.
In China, because of the winning franchise, there are many more Lazio fans......
Of course, the group of people who turned out to be Roma fans naturally became a long-term winner, no way, who made Lazio and Roma sworn enemies in the same city?
If Chang Sheng had gone to Inter Milan and then to AC Milan, I believe the same situation would have happened.
Lazio's home game against Ascoli was not a big event, but this game was on CCTV's broadcast schedule early.
The winning game kicked all the players who were overweight during the holidays out of the starting line-up.
So this lineup is different from Lazio's main lineup in the first half of the season, and there are many changes.
But even so, Lazio managed to win comfortably 4-1 at home to Ascoli.
In the next Coppa Italia, the majority of players were rotated by Chang Win. Start players who didn't play in this league.
The Lazio team played 0:0 away from home and still eliminated Stardela with an aggregate score of 3:1 to advance to the next round.
※※※
Then there is the rotation, because the time is too close, and if you don't rotate, you can't guarantee the fitness of the players.
Away from home, Lazio and Parma played to a 1-1 draw.
The continuous rotation has finally gradually exposed its shortcomings, that is, it is easy to lead to the instability of the team's overall state.
This game is an example of this.
Since the beginning of the new year, Lazio has played three games. No game has the same starting lineup.
There were many times in the first half of the season, but at that time the opponents did not know enough about the tactics of winning constantly, so Lazio always won the game.
Now, the probability of a draw is increasing.
Because of the continuous rotation, the players will not be able to maintain their form continuously.
That's the downside of the rotation policy. Compared to using a fixed lineup, the rotation is not stable enough.
But rotation can ensure that every player can play, and it can slow down the team's physical exertion.
There are pros and cons, and if you choose to rotate, you have to accept the results of rotation.
As a result, his team was held to a draw by Parma.
In fact, a draw is not a big deal, and his team is still unbeaten.
But Juventus won.
So they who were originally divided into the same score finally came out of the ranks.
Juventus are back at the top of the league with a two-point advantage, while Lazio are two points behind in second place.
At the post-match press conference. Chang Sheng expressed disdain for this.
"Yes, we're not number one in the league now. But so what? With the state of the Lazio club, I think the team is good enough to be able to push Juventus so badly. I don't blame my players. Their performance was flawless. I would like to congratulate Parma, who deserved this draw for their tenacious performance in the game. ”
※※※
On January 18, the twentieth round of the league, after the first nineteen rounds. The league has completed a cycle.
Now it's back to square one.
Lazio travel to challenge their first-round opponents, Messina.
Although they were held to a draw by Parma in the last round of the league, it does not mean that they will be winless away from home.
They beat Messina 2-0 away.
Hesitation: Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw away by Chievo in their earlier fixture. So Lazio and Juventus are once again on the same number of points, and with the win-loss relationship between the two sides, Lazio is back at the top of the league table......
In the subsequent Coppa Italia, Lazio met Inter Milan in the quarterfinals.
Winning is not going to waste the team's energy and everyone's time in the Coppa Italia.
Since he is aiming for Champions League qualification next season, what is the point of qualifying for the League Cup like the Coppa Italia?
So in this game, Chang Sheng sent a lot of substitutes,
Continue the rotation.
Even so, Lazio have been doing well at home.
They drew 1-1 at home to Inter Milan.
In fact, the game itself was not the focus of attention, the focus was on Mancini's return to the Olympic Stadium.
If Mancini had hoped that he would be warmly welcomed by the Lazio fans when he left Lazio and returned here, he is now disappointed.
When he led Inter Milan back to the Stadio Olimpic, he was eager to be cheered. In fact, last season he did get it.
When he led Inter Milan back to the Stadio Olimpico, the Lazio fans blessed him.
So he felt that this should be the case this time.
However, no.
In the huge stands, there was not even a banner slogan that blessed him and missed him.
He heard the hymn to Chang Sheng.
He was deeply disappointed, but at the same time he had to realize the reality that his cycle at Lazio was completely over, that Lazio no longer needed him and that he would not return to Lazio. He wants to realize his self-worth on a bigger stage.
There's really nothing to be nostalgic about here.
