The rain became heavier and heavier, and it quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"Ah...... In the middle of the game, it was raining over the playing field, and it was getting heavier and heavier! ”

In the beginning, you can only know what is happening on the field through the commentators.

But soon, they didn't need to use a narrator to know what was happening.

Just a random shot, in the deep sè background, the audience can see a very clear rain line.

When the rain started to fall, the Lazio players on the pitch had a brief distraction.

Many people will look up at the sky and let the raindrops really hit their faces.

That's how they believe it's really raining!

They thought of the boss's arrangement yesterday and the sunny weather today...... Who knew it would actually rain today? Except for the boss......

Yes, except for the boss.

The Boss guessed!

He's right, it's really going to rain!

They all turned their heads to look at the boss on the sidelines.

Seeing that the boss was gesturing to them.

Second set of plans!

They understood that the second plan was the "what if it rains" stuff that was set out in yesterday's pre-match tactical meeting.

With plenty of Takeuchi, Lazio's players quickly adjusted.

If it rains, walk less on the ground when there is standing water, and try to play as concisely as possible. How far shè, and use the opportunity of set-pieces to threaten the opponent's goal.

Chang Sheng found the equipment manager and told him to replace all the spare sneakers with spikes, and then take them out in case of emergency.

If someone needs to change their shoes, they don't have to go to the locker room, but can do a quick change of shoes on the sidelines. It's like an F1 pit stop for a tyre change, just get it done as quickly as possible.

In this case, take advantage of the time of various dead balls. You can do it.

In addition, all the players on the bench were asked to change into boots with spikes.

The equipment administrator felt that it had just rained, and that it might not be a bit of a fuss to do so.

But winning is the manager, and what he insists on, then he has to do it.

We've been colleagues for three seasons. They are all familiar with each other's tempers, and everyone knows very well what kind of temper Chang Sheng is.

His words are irrefutable. Needless to say, you just have to do it.

Anyway, no one has seen him say anything wrong.

The equipment manager didn't understand the characteristics of the course, but Chang Sheng knew it.

Because he's seen that game.

Because the Lurìniki Course is an artificial turf course, the artificial turf course and the natural turf course have different drainage requirements. Because of the drainage of the course, the Lurìniki course is inferior to the natural turf courses in Europe.

The drainage of this stadium is terrible.

When it rains heavily, it is easy for water to form on the course.

Add to that bad turf and a dip in the water...... That's even worse.

The field can become slippery.

However, it didn't take long for players from both sides to fall frequently.

Some players have also found that their current boots do not perform well on the turf conditions they are today.

As a result, Lazio players began to take advantage of the dead ball time to come to the sidelines to change their shoes.

The referee didn't rush either.

It took about five or six minutes for all the Lazio players on the pitch to change their shoes in this way.

At this time, the equipment administrator had to admire the prophetic foresight of Chang Sheng.

Lazio players who switched to spikes were significantly better than Manchester United players who continued to use spike SG boots. Because spike sneakers have a better grip, they don't slip easily, and on muddy courts, they are more explosive.

Manchester United, on the other hand, are not as well prepared as Lazio in terms of boots.

They had no spikes to swap in, and could only continue to wear short spikes.

It's not as good on the pitch.

Not to mention slipping and falling, it is more strenuous than before, and it is easier to feel tired. Explosiveness is also lacking, speed like that of Lazio's players.

Manchester United could have played to a draw with Lazio before. Even if they were equalised, they had their advantage in terms of performance on the pitch.

But it was the sudden strike that put United completely on the back foot.

Ferguson frowned when he saw Lazio's players taking turns changing their shoes on the sidelines.

Although I also made a record of the rain battle, I didn't expect the sneakers to be a thing......

It had something to do with the fact that he didn't expect the drainage system at the Lurì Nikki Stadium to be so bad, but most importantly, he made a plan. But I didn't think it would rain in this game.

Until the start of the game, Jīng's hourly weather forecast did not say that there would be rain in the area around the Lurì Nikki Stadium.

But Chang Sheng seemed to have decided that it was going to rain from the beginning, and he was familiar with the Stadium of Lurì Nikki, as if he had led the team here for several seasons.

This is really surprising......

What does it mean to be truly well prepared?

Today, Ferguson has seen it.

※※※

Of course, United are not without chances. After the site is muddy. For them as an English team, they can do something that is traditionally an English team. Like what...... Long pass punch hanging.

Manchester United began to make frequent long passes from the back, looking for Rooney and others.

But they were met by José. The resolute resistance of Passarella and Pavon and others.

The two Spanish centre-backs are tall and have good headers.

Plus Handanovic, who has a huge range of activity.

Lazio's air defense is doing well.

Time passed in a second, and it had entered the eightieth minute.

Ferguson returned to the dugout, preparing for extra-time with his assistants.

But at this moment, two people stood up on the Lazio bench next door, and they took off their overalls and came to Chang Sheng's side.

Ferguson noticed this, and he turned his head to look.

Chang Sheng said something to them, constantly pointing to the court and slapping the tactical board in his hand.

The two of them nodded their heads repeatedly.

The two men are Belletti and Cazorla.

A right-back and a winger.

But it doesn't matter, his move to change two people in one breath makes Ferguson care more than others.

Before that. Lazio made just one substitution, bringing on Ledesma for Inle.

And Ferguson also has one substitution left in his hands.

After seeing the game stalemate for 80 minutes, Ferguson gave up on the idea of using up the substitution, and instead planned to save it for extra-time, maybe a penalty kick in this game?

After the rain, Lazio completely had the upper hand. Ferguson began to think about it. Delaying to the penalty shoot-out is the best result for Manchester United today.

But Chang Sheng used up all the substitutions in one go...... What does he mean by that? Are you ready for extra time?

※※※

Soon, Cazorla and Belletti came on at the same time, replacing Abate and Khedira.

Benzema was not substituted, but stayed on the pitch.

Cazorla went to play in midfield, but at right midfield.

In this way, on the right a corridor is formed made up of Benzema, Cazorla and Belletti.

This corridor is full of attack power!

Chang Sheng's instructions to Belletti and Cazorla were to keep attacking on the right flank to help Benzema break down Patrice United's Patrice defence!

He didn't play extra time with Manchester United. Penalty shoot-outs are even less interested.

If I want to change history, I have to change it completely, not only do I have to beat Manchester United to win the title, I also have to settle the battle in 90 minutes!

※※※

When the game resumed, Patrice Evra quickly felt the pressure, and the pressure was getting stronger!

Belletti's assists are very active, and he doesn't look like a right-back at all, but more like a right winger.

Plus Cazorla and Benzema.

Patrice Evra faced three attacking players at the same time. He couldn't bear it anymore......

The two men had just switched for three minutes, eighty-three minutes. Cazorla played a one-two with Benzema on the right flank, and after receiving Benzema's pass, he forced an overtake from the outside, brushed past the stumbling Evra and slid into the box.

Evra couldn't care about anything else at this time, and the whole person was almost leaning on Cazorla's body.

How can Cazorla's small body of 1.69 meters withstand the squeeze of Evra?

He threw himself into the pool in the restricted area......

The whistle sounds!

※※※

"Cazorla was pushed down by Evra when he broke through with the ball!" The narrator exclaimed.

"Cazorla...... Will it be a penalty? Penalty kick? Penalty kick! Yes. The referee whistled and pointed to the penalty spot! It's a penalty!! ”

"The Manchester United players panicked and they came up to the referee to theorize. Evra even raised his hands to show that he was innocent...... Yes, when he defended Cazorla, his hands were raised like this, as if he had surrendered...... But Evra. You don't have to use your hands to push someone...... Your whole body almost pressed on Cazorla's body and finally squeezed him to the ground, isn't this a push foul?! ”

"There was no problem with the penalty, Patrice Evra was indeed a foul!"

Seeing this, Ferguson rushed out of the dugout, and with him rushed out with other coaches.

They protested against the penalty.

Regardless of whether the penalty was really awarded correctly, as a Manchester United coach, he must not agree with the decision that is not in his favor. It's not about rules, facts, or truth, it's about positions.

As part of the team, you have to defend the interests of the team, even if the way it is controversial is to wait until the game is over.

But alas, their protests were useless.

Patrice Evra squeezed Cazorla down from behind, the evidence was conclusive, there was no problem, everyone could see it clearly. There can be no second explanation.

※※※

On the other side, Chang Sheng and his colleagues were hugging and celebrating.

Awarded a penalty at the end of the game, everyone knows what it means!

The goal of victory is right in front of Lazio, as long as this penalty is scored, with Lazio's possession of the ball, they can fully hold on to this goal advantage!

Now the crux of the matter is this penalty...... Will it be able to get in in the end?

After the celebration, Chang Sheng and everyone around him were glued to the court.

Concerned about this.

PS, thank you for the red of the alliance leader aimarfs!

In addition, I would like to ask for a commuter pass!
