Chang Sheng returned to Rome and did not choose to go to Barak immediately.
He was just quietly observing from the side, observing how Ballack integrated into the team and how Ballack was training.
He didn't even say anything to Ballack alone in front of the players.
He learned that this was a very sensitive time for Barak.
There is a voice in Germany, England, and Italy. They say that Ballack transferred to Ballack to win more games.
Although there are many reasons for Ballack to move to Lazio, the media reported selectively. They focused on highlighting that Ballack moved to Lazio to win a Champions League championship, which means to have the confidence to win.
Although this is true, if it is repeated over and over again, it will inevitably be a bit insulting.
Of course the media will say: "You did something like hugging someone's thigh, but we still can't talk about it?"
It seems reasonable to say so.
But if they ask Chang Sheng this question, I guarantee that Chang Sheng will slap them hard.
"My players, you just can't say that!"
※ ※ ※
In addition, winning often requires Ballack to undergo such a process of psychological change.
If Ballack can't put down his posture, it will definitely not be a good thing for him to integrate into the team.
Chang Sheng planned to let Ballack face his own heart first and think carefully about why he came to Lazio.
If you want to come to Lazio to be a star, you are really in the wrong place.
This is a place of transformation for marginalized characters and exiled people.
Only by completely letting go of the past can you succeed at Lazio. Here, you have to say goodbye to the past.
Look at Francisco Pavin.
He is simply a model of success after saying goodbye to the past.
I am so victorious that I am not in a hurry to talk to Barak.
Talking now may not be effective.
Let's let Barak suffer a little bit...

In the following time, the winning team will prepare for the European Super Cup with all its strength.
In the European Super Cup, Lazio's opponent is last season's Europa League champion...Atletico Madrid!
What a coincidence.
Atletico Madrid performed well last season. They defeated Fulham 2:1 in the final and won the Europa League championship trophy.
So just like that, the two enemies got together...
Everyone still remembers that 9:0.
It’s really unforgettable.
This is Atletico Madrid's eternal pain.
After that game, Atletico Madrid became the laughing stock of the entire Europe.
They used foul tactics to injure Lazio's David Silva in the first round. They originally thought they would be sure of victory. But in the away game, they were beaten by an angry Lazio, 0:9! This is after the Champions League reform.
The most disparate score.
Actually, if you think about it, it didn't take long, it was just two seasons ago.
Now it can be said that Atletico Madrid's wounds have not yet scarred, they met Lazio again.
With the prestige of being the Europa League champions, they are going to clash with the ever-victorious Lazio in the European Super Cup.
It's just that most of the media don't think highly of them.
Lazio and Atletico Madrid are not teams of the same level.
What Atletico Madrid should be thinking about right now is how not to lose too badly. Instead of defeating Lazio.
With Lazio's current momentum, it is really difficult for Atletico Madrid to win.
Before the game, the media even said, "Losing within three goals will be considered a victory for Atletico Madrid."
Public opinion before the game was completely in favor of Lazio.
Even the Lazio players think so.
They only need to move their little finger to beat Atletico Madrid easily.
Chang Sheng didn't take Atletico Madrid seriously either.
With defeated players at his disposal and repeated defeats, the European Super Cup is nothing more than another warm-up match.
※ ※ ※
The match against Atletico Madrid was preceded by the Champions League awards and draw ceremony.
In the just-concluded Champions League, Lazio became the big winner.
They won all five awards: Best Goalkeeper, Best Defender, Best Midfielder, Best Forward and Best Player.
There are twelve candidates for these five awards. All were voted by the coaches of the top 16 teams in the Champions League last season. There are three candidates for each of the goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and forward positions.
In the end, Handanovic won the best goalkeeper, Jose Passarella won the best defender, and the best midfielder was won by Modric. The best forward belonged to Cavani, and the best player was also Cavani.
Varney.
Cavani scored 11 goals in the Champions League last season. With this performance, he won the best forward and best player.
The best striker is actually the best goalscorer.
After Falcao left Lazio, Lazio fans no longer missed the "Tiger" because they had an equally good Cavani.
Four Lazio players stood on the stage holding five trophies. They represented how successful and powerful Lazio was last season...
It's a pity that there is no best coach option in the Champions League, otherwise you can win the award multiple times if you win frequently.
In fact, there is no such authoritative award in the coaching world.
Before FIFA added the Coach of the Year award to its annual selection, only one British football magazine conducted a selection of the best coaches.
But that award lacks authority...
Few people even know.
What a winning team can win is the Serie A Oscar's annual Best Coach Award.
But so far, he has only won it once.
It was the time when he led Lazio to win the Champions League, and he won the award in January of the following year.
In the second season, Lazio lost the Champions League due to a major overhaul and only won the Scudetto and Italian Cup.
However, the best coach was still taken away by someone else. The selection team finally found a reason to openly and openly criticize him. Because he lost the Champions League championship, he did not deserve to be the best coach in Italy.
Now Chang Winning doesn't care about this Italian domestic award at all.
According to him, the influence is too small.
What he wants to do is to be the best coach in the world. What is so rare about the best coach in Italy?
Chang Sheng sat in his seat, watching his disciple win the award, smiling and applauding.
It was as if he had won an award himself.

In the final Champions League draw ceremony, Lazio, as the defending champion and seed team, was assigned to a group, Group A.
They were assigned to a group with England's Tottenham Hotspur, Netherlands' Twente and Germany's Werder Bremen.
The situation in this group is still very good. Lazio has no real opponent.
Whether it is Tottenham Hotspur, Twente, or Werder Bremen, everyone believes that there is no way to cause trouble for Lazio.
If nothing unexpected happens in this group, Lazio should take the lead and qualify first.
But Chang Sheng knows very well that Tottenham Hotspur in this group will be very strong.
It must be dealt with seriously. He does not want to follow in the footsteps of Inter Milan and let Tottenham Hotspur's Bale be completely humiliated in the game.
Of course, this is the only real important opponent in this group. Lazio's qualifying is not a problem. The key is to compete with Tottenham Hotspur for first place.
The two-leg match against Tottenham Hotspur should determine who is number one in this group.
After the draw ceremony, that night was the European Super Cup match between Lazio and Atletico Madrid.
Many people believe that Lazio has an excellent opportunity to challenge Barcelona's record of six crowns this year.
Because in the first half of the year they won the Champions League, the league championship and the Coppa Italia, all of them were missed.
And then, in the second half of the year, they won the Italian Super Cup.
Four of the six championships have been won, and the fifth European Super Cup is also in the bag.
※ ※ ※
But the actual game was very different from the winning streak and what the Lazio players expected. Because in the first half, Lazio actually fell behind!
And this deficit is two goals!
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Lazio does not have the advantage in the scene!
Lazio's players looked out of shape.
Their trademark quick passing and running were completely missed.
The players are not fast and their passing is not accurate.
There were many mistakes.
Atlético Madrid, on the other hand, adopted a tactic of rushing and attacking, and defeated Lazio in a hurry.
When Lazio wanted to reorganize their attack, they found that they couldn't connect at all.
Because they were previously arrogant and underestimated the enemy, they were ill-prepared.
Throughout the first half, they not only conceded two goals, but were also beaten by Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid fans in the stands cheered and applauded the team's performance.
The Lazio fans looked at each other with confusion or shock on their faces.
They didn't understand how an opponent who could be defeated 9:0 could become so brutal, leaving Lazio at a loss!
The commentator added fuel to the fire.
"This is unbelievable! For the first time in the first half, Lazio had less possession than its opponents! The Italian team is really embarrassed..."
"Atletico Madrid's performance completely exceeded our pre-match expectations. They were very brave, while Lazio seemed careless! When they wanted to get nervous, it was already too late!"
"Now I think Atletico Madrid will beat Lazio, just because of the performance of both sides in this game..."
"Chang was pacing back and forth on the sidelines. He looked very anxious. If Lazio loses to Atletico Madrid, it will be the first time Chang has lost to this team as a head coach. A record will be broken..."
The commentators are all useless. Except for the Italian commentator, everyone else has switched to supporting Atletico Madrid.
People always have a mentality of sympathizing with the weak.
In their view, Atletico Madrid is a typical weakling.
Moreover, they were beaten 9:0 by Lazio two seasons ago, which makes their current performance even more difficult.
Therefore, their ability to fight back today is indeed worthy of admiration and praise.
Just by praising them, Lazio naturally became the villain.
Everyone even wants Lazio to lose.
Because Lacy only lost one game last season, it was a Champions League group match in which they sent all substitutes after finishing first in the group.
Lazio won't lose when they are fighting for something.
