When Lazio scores, it means that the game enters the "Lazio rhythm", a term that is now very famous and thunderous.

Lazio's opponent, Mazembe's coach Ndiaye, must have heard of it and knew what that meant.

Lazio, who are ahead, will be able to take the ball in stride, with strong possession, keep the ball firmly at their feet and drag it until the end of the game.

If Mazembe's players want to grab the ball, they have to press it, and if they press it, they will be empty.

Lazio were able to play sharp and quick counter-attacks right away.

Anyway, no matter what you do, the team that falls behind is a dead end.

Therefore, the "Lazio rhythm" is also known as the "rhythm of death", which means that any team that allows Lazio to enter this rhythm will end up dead on the base.

With Mazembe's strength, don't think they can go against the sky.

It was nice to be able to keep the flat before.

It's all about the fact that they haven't conceded a goal yet, and that's the source of their strength. As long as there is a draw, then there is still hope for them to drag it out until the penalty shootout.

But once Lazio is put in the lead, there is nothing Mazembe can do.

The tactics they arranged before the game were all on defense, and for this reason, Mazembe's manager Ndiaye has put a lot of effort into it.

You know, you need discipline in defense, and African players are not very disciplined, so it's very difficult to get them to concentrate on defending desperately.

Ndiaye did.

It can be seen how much effort he has put in.

But it is precisely because his tactical arrangements before the game are all defense, and even sacrifice offense for the sake of defense.

He didn't even plan how to attack in this game.

The team's mind is all about how to defend.

It's not that he hasn't thought about what would happen if Lazio had scored first.

It's that he's not qualified to think about it.

If Lazio had scored first. Then the game is over.

There is no such thing as a fluke.

That's what he thought.

He put all his bets on his team being able to hold on for 120 minutes without conceding a goal.

He knew it would be hard, but he had no choice but to do it.

This is the only way to possibly beat Lazio.

But now, it seems, he failed.

His team still conceded a goal.

Actually, in the first half. His team didn't concede a goal, and he was surprised himself.

Especially Laziona's three consecutive goalposts, he really thought that God was on their side.

However, the second half finally returned to reality, a cruel and cold reality.

While the Lazio players celebrate a goal. Ndiaye on the sidelines bowed his head.

His body softened as if it had lost its strength.

While this result was predictable and reasonable, how could his team possibly beat the mighty Lazio?

But when this reality really appeared, he found that he couldn't see all this, but was still very unwilling.

I've put in so much effort, I've got everything choked up with my players, and it's up to us to accept the result honestly without any other thoughts...... How is that possible?

※※※

"Lazio has finally scored! Their goal is long overdue! But it wasn't until sixty minutes into the clock that it was too late! That's because Mazembe was quite tenacious today! They held out for sixty minutes. only to concede the ball...... It's remarkable! ”

"This result is for us. is to be expected. Lazio are strong and they deserve to be ahead, but we still have to give Mazembe a round of applause. Their tenacity today showed us how embarrassed Lazio can be......"

The commentators also gave full affirmation to Mazembe's performance.

But Ndiaye if he could hear it. He wouldn't be happy about it.

Because as a manager, the only purpose of leading the team is to win.

Can't win. There is nothing to be happy about when the performance is good.

He and the team put in so much effort, but it wasn't for the sake of being praised by these onlookers. At this time, praise and sympathy are equally hypocritical and frivolous.

He just wants victory. All his efforts are for victory, and if he can't win, it's meaningless.

※※※

Lazio's lead not only sent Ndiaye down his head, but also sent Mazembe to a crumble.

Although they are only one goal behind, this is exactly the most dangerous situation.

Falling behind by just one goal would make Mazembe's players feel like they could equalise if they attacked, and the game would be back on the same page.

So they're going to attack desperately and want to score.

In this way, they will definitely not be able to care about their own back.

As a result, the defense line as a whole pressed forward, and there was a lot of space behind it.

These are all things that Lazio likes.

When Pep Guardiola's Barcelona "Dream Three" struggled due to the opposition's high pressing defense and iron bucket formation, Lazio welcomed their opponents to press up and defend, because they had the pace and they could play counter-attack, so Lazio were not afraid to look aggressive in the front court.

That's why Chang Sheng insists on adding speed to his team's tactics, even if it's at the expense of possession.

Because he knows where the tactics of world football will go in the future.

No single tactic can dominate the world, nor can it dominate world football for long. Because the opponent will not allow you to use this set of tactics to fight them back, they have come up with all kinds of ways to contain you, maybe 99% of these methods will fail, but as long as there is still 1% to succeed, then this 1% will be promoted.

This is also the case for Tiki-Taka.

Chang Sheng has relied on tiki-taka to dominate European football for almost a decade, and it is already surprising that the vitality of a tactic is so tenacious.

Over the past decade, European football opponents have come up with a lot of ways to deal with the ever-winning game.

Ten years. Enough for other tactics to develop to a more mature stage.

For example, the bus, such as defensive counterattacks, such as foul tactics...... All sorts of tactics emerge one after another.

And Chang Sheng is well aware of this. So he is always trying to improve his tactics and incorporate other tactical advantages into tiki-taka.

When he first started in Valencia, he added two defenders with excellent defense and a tough style to the pure tiki-taka. It gives tiki-taka some iron-blooded temperament and solves the problem that traditional tiki-taka can't stiffen his waist.

He then began to introduce the superstar system, allowing Ronaldinho to make the most of his individual talents on the basis of tiki-taka.

The change helped him break through the European arena and win his first Champions League title.

Later at Lazio, he started to win more often, a change that made his team more aggressive.

Now he's trying to play multi-core tiki-taka again.

He never rested on his laurels and kept improving.

But Pep Guardiola wants to return to the traditional tiki-taka, and Chang Sheng can't convince him, so he has to let the facts convince him.

Pep Guardiola's Barcelona won a six-time title. But at that time, people didn't know much about his Barcelona. Plus the Barcelona players are at the top of their game. And the point is that Messi is too incomprehensible......

Now when everyone figured out the Barcelona routine, they were in trouble.

In La Liga, they have been haunted by their arch-rivals Real Madrid this season. The competition between the two sides is fierce.

In the Champions League, they don't have as much of an advantage as before.

Most importantly. In the two tiki-taka duels, his team lost to a winning Lazio.

This had a big impact on his philosophy.

※※※

Mazembe stepped up their attack after the resumption of the game, pressing all over the line and attacking the Lazio goal in the hope of an equaliser as soon as possible.

At this time, the gap in strength is more and more obvious.

Mazembe's players are inferior to Lazio in terms of individual skills and overall coordination.

Their attacks could not threaten Lazio's goal, which was repeatedly harassed by Lazio's counter-attacks.

Five minutes later, Lazio took advantage of Mazembe's full pressure and the back line was empty, and played a beautiful counter-attack, and Gotze fired the ball into Mazembe's goal.

2：0！

Lazio had a two-goal lead.

The theoretical suspense of this game is gone.

Lazio wins!

In the next game, Chang Sheng began to make substitutions.

He made one substitution after another, and quickly ran out of three substitutions.

Naturally, his substitutions were not to adjust the tactics, but to allow more players to play.

The game has been won, and it's time for him to reward more players.

It's also a bonus to be able to play in the Club World Cup.

And Mazembe completely lost his spirit and fighting spirit after falling behind by two goals.

Ndiaye also started to make substitutions.

As with Chang Sheng, his substitutions were not meant to change the score and the situation, but to give more players a taste of the atmosphere of the Club World Cup, where they have the opportunity to play against a strong team like Lazio.

The next game officially entered garbage time.

Lazio also slowed down and they needed a break.

After slowing down the tempo, Lazio's game was not a good one.

Because it's just going back and forth. And most of these inverted feet occur in the midfield, this kind of passing inverted foot is completely untechnical, even if they keep passing a hundred feet in a row, no one will think it is beautiful......

Everyone likes to see the passing and cutting combination is the kind of attack to the front of the opponent's penalty area, and then tear apart the opponent's defense through a series of successive quick passes, the passing is difficult and there is also an idea.

It's not like you pass it on to me, I'll pass it on to you, you pass it on to me, and I'll pass it on to you...... of the inverted feet.

But Chang Sheng doesn't care if everyone likes it or not.

He wants the team to get rest by slowing down the tempo.

This kind of scene, even if it is maintained until the end of the game, he has no pressure.

It's not like he hasn't let his players do it in the face of boos......

Think back to the opening 10 minutes of the Copa del Rey final between Getafe and Mallorca...... Jose Passarella and his centre-back partner played at the back for 10 minutes......

When the commentator saw this, he understood that it was a real Club World Cup final...... It's over.

"It took Lazio only ten minutes to settle the battle and then calm down again. Their strength is so strong that they only need ten minutes to play a game of this level in the final of the Club World Cup...... Poor Mazembe, they held out for sixty minutes and then died in ten minutes in Lazio. ”
