Chapter 161: The Choice of the Starter
At half-time, Chang Sheng praised the team's performance in the dressing room, and this time he was not worried about the praise, and the players would be proud of the second half after the praise. Because the revenge is not yet over.
Sure enough, after the start of the second half, the fighting spirit of the whole Lazio team did not fade at all.
They may have all been irritated by the words that Schaff had said he felt good about himself before the race.
In the second half, Lazio scored another goal, and it was David who scored the goal. Silva.
After leading by three goals, they slowed down slightly.
But even so, Werder Bremen still couldn't score.
In the end, he lost 0:3 and didn't score a goal!
At the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng said disdainfully: "Let me correct Mr. Schaff's misconception: this game, this result, is not an upset." ”
Schaaf, on the other hand, simply hired an assistant coach to come out and participate in the post-match press conference in his place.
I won't show my face. Obviously, he knew that he would be asked embarrassing questions by reporters when he showed up.

After the match against Werder Bremen, it was a major league game.
It is a match between the first and second place in the league. Lazio take on Inter Milan away.
Chang Sheng has full contempt for his opponent in terms of strategy, but he attaches great importance to tactics.
The specific manifestation is to say what is so great about Inter Milan? Our opponent is only ourselves.
Then I attached great importance to training and tactical arrangement, and I was quite well prepared, and when it came time to play, I simply went to the main force. Even if they just played a Champions League group game three days ago.
Of course, the pre-match war of words is also essential.
This time, Chang Sheng took the initiative to provoke it, and the target was Ibrahimovic again.
"I want to apologize for what I said last year. I have misled you. Chang Sheng said in his pre-match press conference. I've said before that if Roberto Mancini wants to win the league title, then he's the right choice to buy Zlatan Ibrahimovic...... I would now like to formally apologize to all of you for this remark. Because I found out that even if Mancini had Ibrahimovic, he still wouldn't be able to win the league title! So if my words mislead Mancini and others into thinking that Inter can be league champions with Ibrahimovic. I sincerely apologize to all of you. ”
When a group of reporters heard Chang Sheng say this, they rolled their eyes below, and Chang Sheng said seriously that he wanted to apologize at first. There are still some faint expectations for this. See what he wants to apologize for. Over the years, Chang Sheng has given people the impression that he is a stubborn and tough person who never apologizes, no matter whether he is wrong or wrong, he will never get money. He seems to treat the world of football as a battlefield and will not surrender.
So today, Chang Sheng suddenly said that he wanted to apologize, and everyone was very curious and wanted to hear what was worthy of his apology.
What do you think...... It's been doing it for a long time, but it's just using this gimmick to mock Inter Milan. Laugh at Mancini and Ibrahimovic!
"Now I'm going to correct my previous opinion. I don't think even with Ibrahimovic, Inter Milan won't be able to win the league! ”
※※※
For Chang Sheng's naked provocation, Inter Milan naturally can't bear it.
Even if Mancini doesn't show up, the grumpy Ibrahimovic won't let Chang win better.
Sure enough, Ibrahimovic immediately jumped out and blamed Chang Win.
"He'd better mind his own affairs and not dictate other people's affairs! I'm going to teach him what respect is in tomorrow's game! ”
Ibrahimovic was able to release such cruel words because until now, I have not heard of Lazio's main central defender, Jose at the heart of the defense. Passarella is making a comeback.
From April last year to now. None of Passarella played a single game. To be on the safe side, his comeback time was pushed back again and again. From the end of August to September. It's October again. It's November now.
There is still no news of Passarella's return.
This gives Ibrahimovic a lot of confidence. Although Chang Sheng did not announce the team's starting list at the pre-match press conference, he now sometimes announces it and sometimes not, and everyone is used to it, which does not mean anything special.
He's scared of Jose right now. Passarella.
If there is no Jose. Passarella, he believes he can score. And it can help Inter Milan beat Lazio.
※※※
Just when Ibrahimovic was looking forward to breaking his goal drought against Lazio, Chang Sheng was fighting Jose. Passarella chatted about the upcoming matches.
Chang Sheng was going to look for Passarella at the beginning, but he couldn't find José in his hotel room. Cazorla, who was in the same room as Passarella, told the boss that Passarella appeared to be in the hotel's gym.
Chang Sheng looked at his watch, it was half past nine in the evening. What does Passarella do when she runs to the gym?
Sure enough, he found Passarella in the gym.
When he saw Passarella, Passarella was sweating on the treadmill.
So Chang Sheng walked up to him, and Passarella saw the boss, but he didn't stop, but kept running.
Chang Sheng didn't let him stop, just stood next to him and asked: "You have to play tomorrow, aren't you afraid of injuring your body?" You've only just recovered from injury......
Jose. Passarella runs with her mouth closed, breathing only through her nose, and heavy gasps are constantly coming from her nose.
When Chang Sheng asked him what to say, he would speak, and his breath was also very well-proportioned, and he didn't look like he was so tired that he was out of breath. Apparently his ability to control his breathing is excellent.
"Actually, I've long since recovered from my injury, boss."
Chang Sheng nodded, it is true that he has recovered from his injury a long time ago, and he has recovered from his injury in September, and in the following time, Jose. Passarella trained alone for half a month on her own, and then began to train with the whole team. He had to make up for all the time he had wasted, and out of prudence, he didn't let him play right away.
In this match, both Chang Sheng and Passarella thought the time was right.
So they were going to give Ibrahimovic a big surprise......
After a few minutes of waiting, Passarella finished his goal, walking briskly on the treadmill and then slowing down. Adjust your heart rate and breathing.
Chang Sheng pointed at him and said, "You don't have to work so hard, Jose. Tomorrow's game won't make it much easier for you. ”
Passarella shook her head, "I know, boss. That's why I wanted to run. I want to get my body used to that intensity faster. My body doesn't need to rest, I've been resting long enough, and now I need exercise. ”
Hearing him say this, Chang Sheng couldn't help but laugh.
"When I see you like this, I think of Ibrahimovic. The Swede must have thought that without you, he could do whatever he wanted. ”
Passarella laughed too, and he cracked his mouth open, and let out a mouthful of white teeth: "Then let's surprise him, boss." ”
In the empty gym, two people burst into laughter.

Two hours before the game, Mancini finally got the starting line-up for Lazio for this game.
Then he snorted.
In Lazio's starting line-up, he saw a name he hadn't seen for a long time.
At first, he thought he was wrong, so he compared the name he remembered, letter by letter. It's right to find out.
The name that appears on this list is "Jose. Passarella"!
There was no news before the game that he was back from injury and could play...... Generally speaking, for players who have been seriously injured and have been recuperating for a long time, the team will take a step-by-step approach to let the players gradually adapt to the intensity and rhythm of the game.
Start off the bench and start with just a few minutes to get him a feel for the atmosphere. Then it was ten minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes...... The last is the starter.
By gradually increasing the playing time, the players were able to adapt physically and mentally to the demands of the game little by little, which allowed him to start. Generally speaking, after this process, the players are considered ready.
How can a player who has been off for seven months play as a starter as soon as he comes up?
And still in such an important game?
Ibrahimovic noticed the change in Mancini's expression after seeing the starting line-up, and he leaned in.
When Mancini saw him, he showed Ibrahimovic the starting line-up.
Although Jose. Passarella started the game and was a surprise to himself. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.
"Looks like they're scared of you, Geratan."
Mancini said to Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic saw the list on Jose. Passarella's name, so he knew why his head coach said that.
Prior to this, there were no reports at all about Jose. Passarella is ready.
He was put on the pitch in such a hurry to contain Ibrahimovic in the game. Because there is only Jose. Passarella was able to freeze the Swedish tower.
But there is no adaptation period at all, and there is still a big question mark about how good the performance can be in the face of such an intense game...... After all, Jose. Passarella hasn't mentioned a game in seven months, how much form is he still in place?
"Huh." The Swede laughed and then returned the starting line-up to his manager. "It's always like this, with a fierce ......," he pouted, and finally disdained to say anything.
In his heart, he is even more confident in this game.
Bullying a player who has returned from injury and is completely out of shape, although it will make you look a little invincible. But as long as you can win that damn Chinese, who the fuck cares how to win!
He clenched his fists and returned to his seat and began to change his jersey for the game. (To be continued.) )
