Chapter 345 The hardest thing is to surpass yourself?
Consistently winning, Lazio chose to slow down and deal with Juventus. No matter how Juventus fans booed them, Lazio remained unmoved.
This approach is fatal to Juventus. Juventus has no way to deal with the "unenterprising" Lazio.
Even if a commentator criticized Lazio's negative play, it could not change the result.
The result was that Lazio defeated Juventus in an early away game with this goal.
The final score was Lazio 1:0 Juventus away.
Juventus lost the game just like that.
After the game, the media in Turin criticized Lazio for being conservative and passive, saying that such a victory was not worth showing off.
Juventus players also said in an interview that Lazio's playing style made them very passive: "They stayed back and did not attack at all. This surprised us. We did not expect Lazio to play like this..."
Barcelona's media also joined in the fun. They all said that the practice of winning often went against the spirit of tiki-taka and was an insult to tiki-taka.
Cruyff, the father of tiki-taka, also wrote an article criticizing the choice of winning: "... after taking the lead, instead of choosing to press bravely and try to expand the score, he chose to shrink the defense... Lazio's tactics are really too conservative.
Being negative, this approach is wrong, football matches should not only be about winning and losing..."

Before Chang Sheng, I really didn't expect that a game against Juventus would arouse their criticism.
The Juventus media criticized themselves because they lost to them, which is understandable.
But why are the Catalan media and Cruyff joining in the fun?
What does the match between me and Juventus have to do with them?
Is this purely a personal grudge?
Chang Sheng is the kind of person who will never stay the night if he has a grudge.
Since Barcelona still insists on having trouble with itself, then Chang Sheng will not let it go.
So he specifically accepted an interview with the Spanish media and responded to the criticism from the Barcelona media and Cruyff.
"This is ridiculous... I have never felt that I represented the spirit of tiki-taka, so if they want to defend the spirit of tiki-taka, please find someone else. Don't the Catalan media always claim that their Barcelona talent
It is the orthodoxy of tiki-taka. Do you think I am plagiarizing? How can I defend the spirit of tiki-taka when they no longer look for orthodoxy but look for me, the 'plagiarist'? As for Cruyff? I have already said
After that, he has long been outdated. Now his words prove my point. Football games are not just about winning and losing. I agree with this, but obviously winning and losing are the most important. I think it is because Cruyff does not come out to coach.
Correct, because if he had been coaching, he would have been dismissed countless times based on his theories and views. So he is very smart. He hides behind the media and makes sarcastic remarks that do not require the person in charge.
.It can show his presence without taking responsibility...how great!"
Chang Sheng has a very low opinion of Cruyff. Everyone knows that the two of them have a grudge.
However, it is quite surprising that Chang Sheng has such a prejudice against this football legend.
Cruyff certainly could not express his disparagement of Chang Sheng. So he continued to write an article angrily criticizing Chang Sheng as "uneducated", "completely ignorant of respect for people", "lack of reverence for football" and "such
It would be strange if one could succeed!"
Chang Sheng responded: "Success? Sorry, Mr. Cruyff seems not qualified to talk about success in front of me... How many championships has he won? How many have I won? Mr. Cruyff shouldn't be too surprised.
Because I have achieved success, it is recognized."
Finally, Chang Sheng brought the debate to an end: "Mr. Cruyff always likes to criticize others in the media and criticize other people's work. This is cheap. In fact, it is very simple. If you want to prove your point of view,
You say I can't do it, but if you can, come on, coach the team, and then see if your method works! Mr. Cruyff, do you dare? Do you dare to coach a team, and then
Beat me on the court and prove me wrong and you right?"
As soon as Chang Sheng said this, Cruyff fell silent.
Because of course it is impossible for him to come out to coach, otherwise he would not have withdrawn from the coaching world for so many years and has no intention of returning at all.
Chang Sheng's proposal hit his weak spot.
He didn't dare to challenge, and he didn't dare to say anything.
So silent.
So this debate between Chang Sheng and Cruyff ended with Chang Sheng's victory.
However, with his cautious eye to always win, he would not easily give up the opportunity to continue to pursue and fight fiercely.
After Cruyff's silence, Chang Sheng continued to hold on to Cruyff's pigtails: "Some people think that he is the king and can dictate to the club whatever they want. No matter what they say, the other party will listen. If
If you don't listen, you don't respect the tradition... What I want to say is, since it is a tradition, then you should lie in the coffin, be buried underground, and then take it out to pay respects every year on the anniversary. If it is for auspiciousness
If you want to be a mascot, you should have the awareness to be a mascot and don't stand out to show your presence in everything. This will annoy people. There is a saying in China: 'Being old and not dying is a thief'. It means
That is to say, if you are still alive when you are old, you will become a thief. I think... Mr. Cruyff should understand what I mean, right?"
Chang Sheng said this, which naturally made Cruyff furious.
But what can be done?
Criticizing Chang Sheng for disrespecting himself? Chang Sheng has made it clear that he doesn't respect him. Chang Sheng not only disrespects him, but also Barcelona and Real Madrid... He disrespects a lot. He uses this to accuse Chang Sheng.
It's really meaningless. It's like scratching the surface of Chang Sheng and has no effect at all.
So Cruyff had absolutely no means of counterattack.
It is impossible for him to actually coach a team and then compete with Chang Sheng in the ring.
If he really did this, he would lose even more miserably.
Because Cruyff really doesn't think that if he coaches the team, he can beat Lazio, who has always won.
In fact, Chang Sheng is right. Why does he no longer coach the team?
Because he has become obsolete...
※ ※ ※
After the constant victory left Cruyff speechless again, he no longer paid attention to the Dutch.
He still has his own work to be busy with, so how can he keep talking all day long when he has nothing to do?
Lazio will challenge Bologna away at the weekend. Next week will be the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup.
Especially the Italian Cup.
To defend the Triple Crown, the Coppa Italia is no longer a piece of cake.
Although the schedule is in-depth, major teams also attach great importance to the Italian Cup.
Especially with Lazio monopolizing the league title, the Coppa Italia is the only championship that other teams can compete for.
So as long as they can reach the quarterfinals, other Italian teams will be very excited.
Every game Lazio faces is a final.
Now, for consistent wins, the Coppa Italia is more important than Serie A.
In the weekend match against Bologna, Lazio adopted a full rotation, just for the Coppa Italia in the middle of the week... The Coppa Italia also enjoyed Champions League-level treatment, which is really not easy.
In the match against Bologna, Lazio, which had rotated a lot, finally relied on the goals of Klose and Rocchi to defeat Bologna 2:1.
The league played twenty rounds. Lazio played nineteen rounds and won all of them.
Lazio's terrible performance in the league naturally made the title of this season's league title lose its suspense early on.
They have won the entire league for half the season, but this result is not the best.
Last season, Lazio set a record of 28 consecutive wins in the league.
Now they have a twenty-game winning streak. They are still eight games away from that record.
But they are not far away from another record.
That is Chang Sheng's unbeaten record in the five major European leagues set in Valencia.
Sixty-five games undefeated!
And where is Lazio now?
Sixty games undefeated!
Since the 0:0 away draw with Palermo in the 36th round of the 2009-2010 season, Lazio has not lost in the league.
Until now, the sixty-match unbeaten streak has happened so unknowingly.
We are only five games away from the record set in Valencia for the most wins.
With Lazio's current strength and state, I can't say for sure whether they can win consecutive games, but there should be no problem with a consecutive unbeaten streak.
As long as they play five more games, Lazio will catch up with Valencia's 65-game unbeaten streak.
After six more games, they will surpass Valencia and become the team with the most consecutive unbeaten games among the five major European leagues.
But before, everyone's minds were not focused on this at all. They were only focusing on Lazio's winning streak. They didn't expect that the streak of unbeaten games would last as many as 60 games!
When the media discovered this, they were surprised.
Lazio is so strong!
This power is unconscious and subtle.
But the stronger one always wins!
When he was in Valencia, he once set a record of unbeaten streak in the five major European leagues, breaking AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten record with 65 games.
Now he is close to his own record again!
When Valencia was unbeaten for 65 consecutive games, everyone was exclaiming that it was amazing, thinking that this record could never be broken again. In today's football world, defense is getting better and better, and there are more and more accidents.
Under such circumstances, if you want to go undefeated for so many consecutive games, it is not just a matter of strength, but luck is more important.
As a result, I didn’t expect that the current winning team could come close to the record I set once again if I changed to another team!
People say that the most difficult thing to surpass is oneself, but now look, this sentence does not apply to Chang Sheng.
He seems to be born to surpass himself. It is not enough to break other people's records, but also to break the records created by himself!
