Chapter 208: If It Rains...... What to do?
Since Chang Sheng became a professional coach, he has never played against the old man Ferguson.
The greatest and most successful manager in football today is an icon to countless people.
Chang Sheng's predecessors liked coaching, and Ferguson was one of his idols.
It's just that at that time, he was only able to compete with the virtual Ferguson in the game.
Now he can play real FM and he can play against the real Ferguson.
It's not even the game yet, they've already met once.
Before the start of the game, Ferguson hid in the middle of a pile of media and launched a psychological warfare offensive against Lazio.
However, this offensive was lightly defused by Chang Sheng.
After that, both sides were quiet, but that didn't mean there wouldn't be any fighting between the two sides.
Ferguson is known in English football for his ability to use psychological warfare against opponents, and during his more than 20 years in charge of Manchester United, many famous managers have fallen to his spittle.
He also enjoys the process.
However, now there are fewer and fewer players in England to play a game with him.
After Arsenal completely degenerated and failed to win the championship for many years, Ferguson was not interested in "insulting" Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
As for Liverpool, Manchester United's sworn rivals, Ferguson is too lazy to fight their manager.
However, it is Chelsea's manager Jose Mourinho's arrival in the past three years that has made Ferguson feel that he is still young again...... Unfortunately, Mourinho left soon after.
As a result, it is rare to see his remarks against other coaches in the media.
Now in the Champions League final, he has met a regular victory.
Old fox to little mad dog.
That's really needle-to-wheat.
For Ferguson, anything can be used to do psychological warfare, to put pressure on opponents.
For example, a simple and ordinary event as arriving in Moscow has become an opportunity for psychological warfare in the hands of Ferguson.
Because Manchester United arrived in Moscow three hours earlier than Lazio.
At Moscow's Domoddorf airport, Ferguson told reporters: "We came earlier than them? Ha, that's good, we're already ahead of Lazio! ”
Three hours later, when Chang Sheng led Lazio to Domodedorf airport, reporters came up to deliver the news.
"Ferguson said they took the lead because they arrived earlier than you......"
This is no ordinary joke, and Chang Sheng knows that this is Ferguson's psychological warfare.
So he smiled and replied: "There is a saying in our China that is good. 'It's better to come early than to come at the right time'. That is, it came early, but it didn't come at the right time, so it didn't work at all. You can relay this sentence to Mr. Ferguson, and it is a pleasure to teach him a Chinese proverb. ”
※※※ The confrontation between the two entered did not stop there, but continued.
At the pre-match press conference, the two players went head-to-head.
Speaking about the game, Ferguson said Manchester United had the advantage because we have a lot of experience.
"We have players in our squad who played in the 1999 Champions League final and they are a great asset to us. They will pass on their experience to their teammates, those who are young. That's legacy. And what about Lazio, what do they have? They don't have a single player in the squad who has played in a Champions League final......"
An Italian reporter raised his hand and asked: "But Lazio's performance in Serie A can be called dominant......"
Alex Ferguson laughed: "That just shows why the Italian league is no longer the number one league in Europe. Even a team like Lazio can dominate in Italy. He shrugged.
The disdain is very clear.
※※※ Chang Sheng's first reaction when he heard Ferguson's words was to be unhappy.
But he soon got to the point where it was supposed to be Ferguson's psychological warfare tactics.
He wants to provoke himself and his team and make the team behave aberrantly in the game.
Anger, sometimes not equals motivation, can ruin a successful team.
Ferguson expressed disdain for Lazio in a tone of coming in, and was even more convinced. Won't let in other ideas.
So I almost fell for it.
If you get angry and then talk to Alex Ferguson at a press conference, it will definitely affect your team.
They will lose their cool because of themselves, and they will also lose their correct judgment.
At this time, Ferguson will hide in the corner and sneer, watching his team fall into chaos.
So the best thing to do is not to lash out at Ferguson for looking down on him, but to ...... Chang Sheng came to his senses after a brief loss of consciousness, and he looked at the reporters below.
He knew that the reporters wanted him to be scolding Ferguson, which would be both a gimmick and a profit.
But he wasn't going to do that.
Chang Sheng smiled slightly.
'Ferguson was right, none of our team had experience of a Champions League final. But because of that, we have enough motivation to face this game. The road is a walk, and so is the experience. Once we win the championship, we have experience, which is nothing superior. ”
Chang Sheng's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, but at the same time, he did not lose his cool.
The reporters present were taken aback.
They felt that with the mad dog Xìng character of Chang Sheng, he would definitely do everything in his power to insult Ferguson.
I didn't expect him to say anything bad!
That's a ...... Let me feel that the sun came out from the west.
When Ferguson saw the video of the press conference on the TV that night, he narrowed his eyes and smacked his lips.
This is always victorious, and it is not easy to deal with o...... He tried to provoke him again and again, but he just didn't fall for it...... Didn't the media say that this was a grumpy and irritable young man? It's easy to get carried away.
But how can he behave in front of himself, he behaves very normally, and there is no weakness to grasp at all.
Or is it something he's pretending to be, when in fact he's already by himself, but just doesn't want to let himself know?
If that's the reason, that's fine.
As long as Chang Sheng is angry, there will always be a loophole to exploit.
Ferguson got up and turned off the TV.
I'm ready to go to the team's tactical meeting.
At the same time, in another hotel, Lazio's tactical meeting was almost over, so Chang Sheng did not see the video of the post-match press conference at all.
At the tactical meeting of Jinyao, Chang Sheng focused on "If it rains tomorrow, and the rain is not small, what should we do?" "That's the question.
The players thought it was strange - the sun was still shining today, and the forecast didn't say it would rain. Why did the boss suddenly say this?
Chang Sheng could see the puzzled eyes of these players.
But he couldn't explain it to them.
It is impossible for him to say that because he came through time, he knew that it would rain in Mingyao's game.
In that case, without Ferguson's psychological tactics, Lazio would already be in chaos - who would want to play under such an unreliable manager?
Therefore, Chang Sheng can only explain to the players: "This is a possible situation, isn't the purpose of preparing for the game to be on guard against all kinds of possible situations?" ”
And then it began to be talked about in a bala barra manner.
In fact, the main point is to minimize the direct ball, because the turf is slippery, and the ball will roll faster on the turf, which is difficult to control. If you pass the ball through, you will make more mistakes. This can lead to the easy loss of possession and the handing of the ball to the opposition.
He speculated that United would simplify their style of play and bombard themselves more with high-altitude balls. So try to give up possession so easily.
At the same time, it is necessary to increase the far shè. When it rains, the football will sink after being wet, and the power will be greater, plus there is water on the ball skin, which is more slippery, and the goalkeeper is easy to get out of his hand.
At this time, it is necessary to let the strikers pay special attention to the second landing point.
If the opposing goalkeeper gets out of his hand, he must run to the corresponding position as soon as possible and make up for it.
In addition, set-pieces are also the main way to score goals in the rain.
Lazio are predominantly small in the squad and rely mainly on the backfield players, especially the two centre-backs, to fight for the header in attack.
So when there's a set-piece up front, both centre-backs have to go up and fight for the top. In this way, who will make up for the void they have left?
It's also something that has to be said in advance, otherwise there can be chaos in the game - I think you should be defending, so I didn't go. You think I should go defensively, so you don't go either, and it turns out that no one goes, leaving gaps and holes there...... Far shè plus second drop control and set-pieces, this is the main response to this game in the rain and death.
To this end, Tsuneng intends to use all these skills in this match, such as the game skill to enhance the long-range hit rate, the game skill to control the second drop point, and the game skill to increase the success rate of the aerial duel. Now he can place four match skills at the same time, and the remaining game skill can be used to enhance his physical confrontation ability.
In this way, even if it rains, Lazio can fight against Manchester United without falling behind.
Otherwise, if you still insist on the ground pass-and-run cooperation, the error rate will be too high.
In addition, in defense, the emphasis is on defending the high ball and the opponent's long shè.
How far it rains is not a secret tactic, a fan knows it, and it is impossible for Ferguson not to think of it.
It's just that he doesn't know that it's going to rain now. But if it really rains during the game, Ferguson doesn't need to draw any time to adjust his tactics, and he can quickly complete the team's tactical change.
And Manchester United has a lot of far-reaching players in the team, Rooney, Cristiano. Ronaldo, Scholes...... These players have the ability to decide the outcome of the game with a single foot away in the game.
Chang Sheng does not dare to take it lightly.
In addition, when it comes to the race for golf, England teams also have an advantage.
He asked the two centre-backs to be tough as they fought for the top in the box and try to control the first spot. The other players outside the box controlled the second drop point to form a three-dimensional and complete defence, not giving United the opportunity to use the second drop point to launch a second attack.
All of this was said and done, and Chang Sheng said the penalty again.
He always has to think about the possibility of a penalty shoot-out.
If there is a penalty shootout again, last year's scene must not be repeated.
After making sure that all aspects had been clarified, Chang Sheng waved the meeting away.
Today must rest early, and tomorrow will usher in ...... It's been a long time.
