Chapter 43: Despair (121/136)

At halftime, Chang Sheng praised the performance of the whole team, but he did not praise too deeply, talked in generalities, and did not even name them specifically.

It's his style, and even if the team won by four goals in the first half, he wouldn't praise his team at half-time.

This style may have been inspired by the fact that he played FM games in the first place.

Starting with FM2006, the option of a half-time lecture has been added to the game

Chang Sheng likes this change very much, which will make him feel more immersed in being a head coach.

Although some people criticize many players for always being a mouthful of coaches, in fact, a good head coach is indeed a mouthpiece.

There are few managers who don't give a lecture at half-time.

Doesn't the famous Ferguson have the nickname of "hair dryer"? If he doesn't talk about it, how do you think he got his nickname?

Chang Sheng likes the setting of this half-time lecture very much, and he will personally lecture for each generation of excellent people, and never choose the option of "let the assistant coach execute it on his behalf".

Just to feel the kind of midfield reprimand, the result was that the team completed a big comeback, and then the players told reporters in an interview with reporters after the game that it was the manager's words at halftime that made them catch up and finally make a big comeback

After much trial and error, he found that if the team took the lead in the first half, showed sè, and chose to praise the team at half-time for "you did a good job", then the team's performance in the second half would definitely plummet. If you're only two goals ahead, the computer will definitely be able to turn you around. Unless you are four goals ahead, it is not safe. But the second half will make your heart pound.

So then Chang Sheng no longer chose to praise the team at halftime.

Even praise has a limit and will keep the players up for the second half.

In reality, Chang Sheng once got carried away and forgot this rule.

When he was in the Getafe C team, there was a gambling game against the first team of Getafe.

That game their own team showed in the first half sè. So at halftime, Chang Sheng praised his players without hesitation, and the whole halftime was praise.

As a result, not long after the start of the second half, Chang Sheng was beaten in the head, and the main central defender was sent off with a red card, if it wasn't for Jose. If Passarella is a lawyer, he may have to pack his bags and get out. Naturally, there will be no such victories and a series of blind championship honors as they are today.

This lesson is coupled with the habits that develop while playing the game. Chang Sheng has now developed such a style of training at half-time, even if the player performs well in the first half, he will not praise him too hard.

Only when he wins the game completely will he fully release his emotions.

After a limited amount of praise for the players, the winner demanded a second half.

"Speed, speed. Continuing at this pace in the second half, Roma will soon collapse. Because they can't keep up with us! Drag them down mercilessly, crush them! You have to have that confidence, there is no team in Italy that can keep up with us for the whole game for 90 minutes! ”

Intermission. The first half of the game was discussed on the match shows of Italian television.

Originally, everyone thought that this would be a close Rome city derby, but they didn't expect it to be one-sided......

In the first half of the 45th minute, Roma had an offside goal in addition to being positive at the start, and they quickly withered after Lazio's goal......

Such a performance disappointed Roma supporters.

At half-time, a local TV station in Rome brought in die-hard supporters of both Roma and Lazio to discuss the game. As a result, Roma supporters were on their toes before the game and there was complete silence at halftime. And Lazio supporters danced cheerfully in the studio. Their self-amusing appearance made the commentators laugh, while the Roma supporters could only bury their heads a little lower.

Such a scene is often played out on Italian television.

The broadcast of matches in Italy is basically monopolized by commercial television stations, and they have to pay to watch their programs, and those public television stations, in order to also take advantage of the appeal of the league, will have fewer guests to watch the game with everyone during the match time, and there is no picture of the game in the program. There is only the voice of the commentator and the live commentator, and then there are the guests who mess in and comment on the game at any time.

In fact, this point is a bit like a barrage website after rì, such as China's A station ACFUN and B station Bilibili, a group of people get together to watch it, and it's lively.

It's also often interesting to watch in the studio because of the different reactions of supporters on both sides to the game.

This is especially true in derby.

Lazio's supporter guest pointed at the silent Rome supporters over there and shouted: "You're going to lose!" Now you have to regret that you got rid of Chang in the first place! ”

Roma fans remained silent.

After the start of the second half. Rome was clearly intent on using this time to relaunch the offensive and regain the initiative.

After fifteen minutes of rest, they had recovered some of their strength.

But Prandelli fears that Lazio will continue this pace in the second half, in which case Roma will not last long.

So you have to score as soon as possible and equalize as soon as possible.

He didn't have a good way to do this, he could only make the players work harder, work harder.

If it was an ordinary game, he could have allowed the team to shrink their defence and spend 45 minutes playing slowly around Lazio and counter-attacking.

But in this way, first of all, the scene is not good-looking, and secondly, you may not be able to win.

But at the very least, it will avoid conceding more goals.

It's just that the Rome derby is unusual and he can't do that.

Just a scene that is not good-looking, it is enough for the fans to spray him to death.

If you end up losing...... No matter how many you lose, anyway, the fans only recognize the result, even if you only lose one goal, it is still a loss!

As long as he loses, he will immediately become the target of public criticism, and any ugly words will come out. Any scandal news scandals and rumors will emerge in endlessly......

Just because it's a Rome derby, it's unique to have two matches a year that are completely different from the others.

That's the Rome derby.

Even if you lose the league title and lose the Champions League, as long as you can beat your rivals in the Rome derby. You'll also enjoy the popularity and praise of the crowd.

So in this game, there aren't many options for Prandelli to make.

※※※

Roma are doing okay when they attack with the ball, especially Totti is very active, he seems to want to prove that Roma don't have a permanent win, they can mix well, because there is also me Totti!

But they can't guarantee that they will score again every time they attack, and no one can guarantee it.

But then once they don't score and the ball falls to Lazio, it's a completely different story.

People have such a feeling. It felt like they were still watching the first half of the game.

Lazio maintained a high tempo, while Roma had lost possession and struggled to get it back, so they could only follow Lazio's butt. This kind of passive running is the most tiring......

In order to be able to break the ball, Roma's players had to foul more often.

Not to mention, their defensive strategy is really effective.

At least ten minutes into the second half, Lazio had yet to threaten Roma's goal.

It's just that it's really ugly on the scene. After the game, win or lose. will inevitably be scolded by the media.

Prandelli can't care about that much, and neither can the Roma players.

They just want to beat Lazio and let Lazio go to hell!

※※※

Prandley was relieved to see that the foul play had worked.

Just as he was about to return to the dugout from the sidelines, take a sip of water, and sit down for a break. He saw Chang Sheng next door, got up and walked from the dugout to the sidelines.

What kind of adjustment seems to be going to be made?

Prandelli stopped and turned to look at Chang Sheng, who wanted to see what Chang Sheng was going to do.

I saw Chang Sheng whistle and attract the attention of the Lazio players on the field with a sharp whistle.

Then he made a gesture.

This gesture. Prandelli couldn't understand it at all, it was supposed to be a gesture inside Lazio, and he just didn't want to understand it.

Prandelli didn't plan to go back, he stood on the sidelines again, he wanted to see how Lazio would respond......

It won't be long before that.

Because in the next five minutes, Lazio actually came three feet away!

Prandelli thought of the match between Lazio and AC Milan.

In that game, AC Milan's tight defense was completely shattered alive by Lazio's heavy artillery regiment!

Kick after kick, and finally let those world-class defenders of AC Milan have to raise their hands and surrender!

When you think of AC Milan's aged, experienced and capable gold medal backline, think about your current backline......

Prandley suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

I thought that after dealing with Lazio's speed, there should be no problem.

How could I have thought that Lazio had other weapons, which were hidden before, so that no one could see them, and then suddenly take them out when they got to the game......

At this time, seeing that Lazio was still far away, Prandelli only felt a little unwilling despair......

Physical confrontation advantage, physical superiority, speed superiority, ball control technical superiority, and now another long-range advantage......

How can Roma fight against such an opponent?

He didn't want to admit it, but there was really nothing he could do about it right now......

A wave of despair crept up into his heart.

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome was still filled with noise, boos, singing and shouts, but Prandelli couldn't pay attention.

He can fully analyze the next form of the game, if he can't stop Lazio's heavy bombardment, it will be a matter of time before he concedes a goal. After conceding three goals, the game was over for Roma.

Although this is a city derby. However, the intra-city derby also has to pay attention to objective factors.

It's all like this, and it's pure nonsense to save it.

Even if they withstood the far offensive during this time, as long as Lazio maintained their speed advantage, Rome would be dragged down sooner or later!

There is already no way out! (To be continued.) )
