Chapter 44: Nottingham Woods Returning to Europe (110/134)
Damn it!
As Chang Sheng stood on the sidelines of the pitch and watched the Lazio players carefully warming up, this word popped into his mind.
That's kind of a fart warm-up!
What is the effect of this warm-up?
In this kind of very bad field, you need to warm up better, otherwise you will be prone to injury in this ground game.
But this kind of warm-up is easy to get injured on the field, isn't that an injury on top of an injury?
It's an endless loop......
That's why Chang Sheng has to swear.
Chang Sheng actually stepped on it, but in fact, if you walk it, you don't feel too much. However, if you want to run fast, you will feel the ups and downs of the field.
Playing on a field like this, you can really get injured.
But how did the pitch, which was fine a day ago, suddenly become like a rotten vegetable patch?
Chang Sheng couldn't figure it out.
But now is not the time to take a closer look at this issue.
Since it's such a bad venue, it should be the same for the other party, right?
It's not good for us, it's just as bad for them.
The venue is fair.
So what's going on at Nottingham Forest?
Chang Sheng turned his head to look at it, and was stunned the next second!
Compared to the cautious Lazio players, the Nottingham Forest players can be said to be walking on the pitch!
Their warm-up looks like no different from any other time, just a normal warm-up!
But how did they do it?!
Is it just that half of the stadium is rotten?
Chang Sheng stood on the sidelines with a frown, thinking about it, and felt that only this one possibility could be justified.
If that's the case, then it's always important to pick a side in the game. In the previous game, Lazio didn't care what the right to pick the edge. There is nothing to say about the current stadium. Chang Win cares more about the right to tee, and if you have the right to tee, you can take the initiative.
Chang Sheng did not return to the locker room, and his consciousness has been supervising the warm-up on the sidelines.
The team changed its warm-up plan to focus on adapting to the venue.
※※※
After the warm-up, the Lazio players returned to the dressing room, and Chang Sheng followed suit.
Because of the venue, Lazio's tactical arrangement also had to make some adjustments.
Thiago has been treated for a warm-up time, but he has not been able to recover to a state that can play, and it seems that he has not been lightly damaged.
Constant wins have to adjust the starting lineup.
When Chang Sheng announced that Wu Lei would replace Thiago. Thiago looked frustrated.
Not only will he miss this game, but probably many more games to come.
For a professional footballer, this is the most painful thing......
Injuries are the biggest enemy of professional footballers.
Then Chang Sheng specifically told the players to be extra careful when playing. Don't get hurt.
After looking at such conditions, Chang Sheng has changed his mind.
The goal is not to win, but to keep the player from getting hurt.
Anyway, judging from the current state, it is not difficult for Lazio to qualify from this so-called "group of death", and there is no need to pay too heavy a price for something that has already been determined.
If more players get injured in this game, it will be more than worth the loss.
Because the season has only just begun.
Lazio have a lot of players injured now, if someone continues to get hurt. This season is basically unplayable.
Now the tactics have to be adjusted a little.
Originally, Chang Sheng wanted to attack the whole court.
Now...... Combined with the actual situation of the stadium, Lazio has to prepare several sets of plans.
And the key is to pick the edges.
If Lazio can pick the edge, then pick the side with a bad pitch and cause problems for Nottingham Forest's attack. Meantime. Nottingham Forest's half should have been in better condition, and Lazio attacked and took the lead.
Try to score in the first half and take the lead.
In the second half, we will stand on the defensive. Hold on to the victory.
If you don't get the right to pick the edge, the opponent may choose a worse venue. This makes it easier for them to defend. Lazio then shrank their defence and held their offensive until the end of the first half. Wait until the second half and then follow the first plan.
That's all Chang Sheng can think of at the moment.
He still didn't want to give up on the pursuit of victory easily.
As long as there is hope, there must be a fight.

Meanwhile, in another locker room, Tony. Don is cheering up his players.
"We trained hard for two weeks and paid a terrible price, for what? This is the moment! Just to beat them on their home turf! We have to make Lazio, who is arrogant and has no one in sight, pay a heavy price! We want them to know that they are definitely not invincible! ”
The Nottingham Forest players looked up at Toney. Donn, like their leader, had a fanatical glint in his eyes.
They looked physically tired, but they were in good spirits, and they didn't mean to be tired in the slightest.
Looking closely, it can be seen that many people have more or less colors on their bodies.
It's curious, Tony. What kind of training did they receive in the past two weeks......
"Forty years, guys, forty years! We have been away from this highest stage in Europe for forty years! Forty years is enough for a newborn baby to grow into middle age and become a parent. Forty years can make the fans who were young at the beginning enter their twilight years and have gray hair. How many people in Europe today remember that forty years ago, we at Nottingham Forest were the masters of this stage! We are the kings of Europe! No one anymore, no one remembers it all. Because it has been too long, the years have smoothed out the traces of our hegemony in this Wutai Mountain...... But today! Now! Right now! We want to make it clear to the whole of Europe! Once the hegemon of Europe, Nottingham Forest! Fucking back!! ”
Tony. When Don said this, he shook his fist vigorously, looking very excited.
His players are as excited as he is.
"So! We don't accept just making it to the group stage! We are ambitious, we are not only going to make it to the main round, we are going to make it to the knockout round! What if you are assigned to the group of death? When the group situation came out. Some media said that we were the ones who accompanied the prince to study, but we just let the other top three grab points. But what about now? Now we've shown them our power! But that's not enough! Guys, it's not enough, it's not enough! If we don't qualify from the group stage, all the hard work we've made, all the results we've made, will be in vain. No one will remember that we drew with Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund and embarrassed Lazio. Because it's a world where the winner is king, guys. Over here. Only the victors deserve to be happy, and the losers can only be forgotten! It's been 40 years since we've been back here, and it's not just for a trip to be forgotten! We want to make the whole of Europe remember our name, the one that used to make them tremble! Tell me. What the fuck are we?! ”
The players roared in unison: "Nuo-Ding-Han-Sen-Lin-!" ”
※※※
While the players on both sides were waiting to play, the Lazio players could clearly feel the murderous spirit of the Nottingham Forest players around them.
This murderous aura is almost materialized, and even a fool can feel it.
Although I don't quite understand why Nottingham Forest is so murderous.
But the Lazio players are well aware that this game is not going to be easy.
From the moment Thiago missed the game with an ankle injury in the warm-up, they knew it all.
And not only from the murderous spirit of the Nottingham Forest players around them, but also from other places, the Lazio players can also feel the difficulty of this game.
The live broadcast outside is broadcasting players from both sides who are playing today.
When the names of Lazio players are announced. The city stadium will be deafening booing.
The boos rival the momentum of any stadium with a capacity of 80,000 people.
When it was time to announce the Nottingham Forest players, the boos were replaced by cheers, but the same deafening and impressive momentum was unchanged.
This time. The Lazio players stood in the tunnel, completely unaware of the kindness and warmth they received when they first arrived in Nottingham......
Even fools should understand at this time, it is nothing more than a smoke bomb released by Nottingham Forest fans to confuse them.
In fact, it is a hungry tiger. It's already baring its sharp fangs, smiling at them!
Wait until the Lazio players come out. This feeling is even more pronounced.
The 30,000-seat Nottingham City Stadium is packed, and as far as the eye can see, the mountains are red – the main colour of the Nottingham Forest.
Everybody sat honestly in the stands, they all stood, waved their arms, and cheered on the team.
At this time they did not boo the players of Lazio.
But the cheers they gave to cheer for their team only made Lazio's players feel more palpitations.
The stadium, which has only 30,000 people, is like those famous stadiums in European football, opening its bloody mouth and devouring the Lazio players.
Chang Sheng was already seated in the dugout, and he turned his head to look next door, his opponent, Tony. Donn stood on the sidelines.
He still couldn't figure out why the stadium had suddenly become like this, it was just one night......
Could it be that this Tony. Did Donn cast a spell?
Of course, this is absolutely impossible.
There's always something for it.
And most importantly, what's in it for him to do it?
Even if he smashes half of the stadium, what's the point?
Can he still play only one half?
Chang Sheng couldn't figure out what was going on with this stadium.
