After the match between Lazio and Naples, there is one more thing.
That is, they are only half a step away from winning the league championship this season.
After winning against Napoli, Lazio now has 93 points.
This score is already terrifying, considering that there are still seven rounds left in the league!
If Lazio wins all the remaining seven league rounds, they will get another 21 points. Adding these 93 points, it will be an unprecedented 114 points!
No team has ever been able to score this many points in one season!
Of course, let’s put aside the points record and so on for now. The most important thing at the moment is the league championship.
Lazio now has 93 points after 30 league games.
AC Milan, ranked second, has 73 points, with a 20-point gap between the two sides.
There are still seven rounds left in the league and there are still 21 points left.
As long as Lazio wins the next round of the league, no matter what the result is at AC Milan, Lazio will win the championship six rounds in advance.
It is rare in the history of Serie A to lock the league championship so early.
In the 32nd round of the league, Lazio faced Parma at home.
There is basically no suspense in this game.
As for AC Milan's away game against Fiorentina, it makes no sense.
Anyway, let’s wait and see Lazio’s sixth consecutive championship in a week!
※※※
There is still one game to play before the sixth consecutive championship.
Lazio faces Schalke 04 at home, which is the first leg of the game to decide who can enter the Champions League semi-finals.
Just like the game against Parma, no one thought that Schalke 04 could prevent Lazio from reaching the semi-finals.
This season's Champions League championship seems to be prepared for Lazio...
Also because of the league match three days later, this Champions League quarter-final has rarely become a supporting role in the league.
Everyone's mind is not on this game, they are just waiting for the weekend game.
In the game against Schalke 04, many players from the strongest lineup started again because they had a break due to the league match last weekend.
A small number of them are players who performed well in the last game against Naples, such as Candreva who scored twice in the game.
Lazio finally returned to normal rotation.
There is no fixed starting lineup, whoever is in good condition will play.
Changsheng can even arrange thirty-eight completely different starting lineups, one for each game.
Other coaches would kill themselves by playing this way.
After class, he was scolded by the media, "I have been leading the team for so many years, and I don't even have a fixed lineup. I will take the blame for myself after class!"
In exchange for Chang Sheng, not only did he not die, but he also lived a more prosperous life than most people.
The media also have to praise him for "taking the rotation to the extreme and fully ensuring the game state and physical strength of every player in the first team..."
It really makes those other head coaches who play rotation and play themselves to death so depressed that they vomit blood.
※※※
In the first round match against Schalke 04, the requirement for the team to win at home is not to "relax and enjoy the game", but "when we score a goal, don't stop and don't slow down.
Keep up the speed, keep bombing! Try to score the second goal soon after the first goal! Remember, guys. The most dangerous thing in this world is to be one goal ahead! If we can
Scoring them two goals in a short period of time will severely damage their morale and fighting spirit! Therefore, we must score the goal as soon as possible and then score the second goal as soon as possible!"
There is a saying in the Chinese military: "Don't chase the enemy when you are poor." This is because you are afraid that the rabbit will bite you if it gets impatient, so don't push the enemy too hard.
But in the concept of winning football, the enemy must still be chased and beaten. Only in this way can the opponent be completely killed!
This is the safest thing to do in football.
The reason why Chang Sheng made this statement is because when he was a fan, he had seen many such situations - after team A took a one-goal lead, they began to relax and felt that they had a great advantage, so they started to play on the court.
I played all kinds of tricks, but accidentally lost my ability, allowing my opponent to score a goal, which equalized the score. The three points that were supposed to be there turned into one point. Then my mentality became chaotic, my emotions were not right, and my performance was the same.
Slip, no matter how close your luck is, your opponent will reverse it...
Especially the Chinese team.
This often happens when the Chinese team plays teams that are weaker than them.
As a result, the game was originally a sure win, but the Chinese fans watching the game felt very nervous.
Every time he watched such a game, Chang Sheng would curse in front of the TV.
He just couldn't understand why the players of the Chinese team didn't understand such a simple truth? Didn't the coaching staff of the Chinese team also know how to remind their players?
Didn't the head coach remind the players during halftime to tighten up their performance in the second half?
Just let them squander opportunities on the court and ultimately lose the game?
If it's just once or twice, that's fine.
The problem is that this has become a habit in Chinese football, and no one understands it?
Later, Chang Sheng traveled through time and became the head coach himself. This was what he cared about most.
No matter which team he is on, he will ask the players to continue pursuing the second goal after taking the lead.
With the second ball, the opponent's morale will basically take a heavy blow, and then the third and fourth balls will easily follow.
At Lazio he took this to the extreme.
This is how the term "Lazio rhythm" came about.
※※※
After the Lazio players came on the field, they played according to the requirements of winning.
Taking advantage of their home court advantage, they launched a fierce attack on Schalke 04's goal from the beginning of the game.
Schalke 04, who were visiting the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, were also very aware of the strength gap between them and Lazio, plus this was still an away game. Schalke 04 did not expect to return alive at the Stadio Olimpico in the first place...
They just hope to concede fewer penalties.
This way, you still have a chance to fight at home, otherwise you don’t even have to play at home...
Lazio quickly took control of the game.
And the first goal came in the 27th minute.
The goal was scored by Klose.
The German striker has shown good form since arriving at Lazio.
After Cavani was seriously injured and ended the season, he and Rocchi shouldered the burden of Lazio's offense, with him scoring the most goals.
Now he is Lazio's top scorer.
No one said he was here to hug me anymore.
On the contrary, everyone feels that Lazio has become more powerful after having Klose.
Think about it, he joined the team for free. Although the season is not over yet, the Italian media has decided to select him as the best transfer in Serie A this season...
"The Germans killed the Germans! The great Klose!!"
Amidst the huge cheers of the Olympic Stadium, Klose ran with arms open and accepted the kindness of the fans.
He no longer does somersaults to celebrate, no matter how excited he is, because the boss won't let him do it.
He also knows that this is for his own good.
It's good to run and celebrate.
He likes the feeling of running as hard as he can on the court.
The wind blew his hair and his face, bringing fresh air.
This feeling made him feel like a free bird.
※※※
After Klose's goal, Lazio scored again just seven minutes later.
The players implemented the winning tactics very thoroughly.
The boss said that we should score the second goal as soon as possible, so we must score the second goal as soon as possible!
"David Silva!! The game is over! This game is over!"
the Italian commentator shouted excitedly.
"David Silva -! Beautiful! He scored the second goal for Lazio with his almost perfect performance! How could such an outstanding player not win the Ballon d'Or? His failure was due to the international football team
This is the biggest scandal in the league this year!" These are the words of the Spanish commentator, who is still complaining that David Silva did not win the Golden Globe Award...
"As we predicted before the game, it is completely impossible for Schalke 04 to stop Lazio, who is playing at home. Therefore, Schalke 04's tactics for this game are also very clear, which is to defend the away game and strive to concede fewer goals...
Their idea is right, but unfortunately Lazio is stronger than they imagined. Even if they defended, they still conceded two goals in just seven minutes... This Lazio is simply too powerful..." Germany
The commentator shook his head, looking very helpless.
He did have a reason to be helpless.
Only two teams in German football have reached the knockout stage of the Champions League this season. As a result, they met Lazio one after another, and Lazio was eliminated one after another - although Schalke 04 and Lazio were ranked fourth in the competition.
One round only lasted thirty-four minutes, but even the Germans believed that Schalke 04 would definitely be eliminated and become a stepping stone on Lazio's road to defending the title...
It just so happens that Lazio also has three outstanding German internationals in the team - Miroslav Klose, Ballack and Mario Gotze.
This really makes German fans love and hate Lazio.
Love it has trained a Gotze for Germany, and also helped the German team maintain the excellent form of the two veterans.
I hate it, because of course Lazio has been playing the role of "German football nemesis" in the past two years.
※※※
In the end, Lazio defeated Schalke 04 4:0 at home. This score basically meant that Schalke 04 lost hope of advancing.
The second round lost its meaning and suspense.
And this is exactly the result Chang Sheng hopes to achieve.
In a two-round match, if we can end the suspense in the first round, it will be equivalent to winning a pizza break. In the second round, we don’t have to go to the away game to fight our opponents.
At the end of the season, when physical fitness is increasingly needed, this approach can save Lazio a lot of physical energy.
This is also one of the reasons why Lazio's physical fitness is better than other teams.
The most controversial general in American history, George S. Patton, believed that only an unrelenting attack could end the battle as soon as possible, and only by ending the battle as quickly as possible could more casualties be avoided. This was also the case when it extended to the entire world war. So Patton boasted that he
He is a pacifist. If we follow his theory, it makes some sense.
Chang Sheng's approach is similar to Button's.
His team will go all out at the beginning of the game and try their best to take the lead and let the game enter their rhythm. They can play however they want, and they will not use up much physical energy in the rest of the time. .
His method can be applied from one game to two rounds, and then to the entire season.
Now, he can prepare for the championship celebration in three days... (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
