His team only won one goal at home, what's there to be happy about?
For many teams, if they only win by one goal in the first round at home, this should definitely be something not worth celebrating. The head coach should definitely frown and worry about the second round.
expression.
It doesn't look like he has won all the time... He was smiling, as if his team had defeated Manchester United with three goals...
Look at the Manchester United players. They only lost one goal. Although they were the losing side, their faces were filled with excited smiles.
It's like they won the game.
Their smiles made it clear that Lazio's small victory was actually a failure...
So those people don't understand why Chang Sheng is so happy.
In fact, the Lazio players don't quite understand.
They decide that their performance is not good.
After taking the lead by one goal, they were never able to score against Manchester United's intensive defense.
This made Lazio's players feel that they did not play the game well.
They, like others, believe that winning only one goal in the first leg is dangerous.
They are worried that they will not be able to reach the Champions League final.
But when they looked up, they saw the smiling face of the boss.
So they couldn't understand it.
Chang Sheng's smile has many meanings. Sometimes, he will smile when he is angry.
But the players who have followed him for so many years are still very familiar with what every smile of their boss means.
His current smile is definitely not "a smile hiding a knife".
He smiles from the heart, is happy, is satisfied, is...all positive emotions.
So the players were confused as to why their boss had such an expression.
In the locker room, Chang Sheng answered their questions.
"If we can win at home, of course we hope to win. But if we don't, there is no need to be angry. There is nothing to worry about. We are the winners. Why should winners look sad? Even if we only lead by one goal, so what?
Like? Who stipulates that a team that only wins one goal in the first round will not be promoted? Manchester United thinks they will win? Very good, guys, we at Lazio specialize in dealing with those who think they are self-righteous!"
Chang Sheng's words restored Lazio's players' confidence.
Yes, we have the boss here.
If the boss is here, what do we have to worry about?
※※※
Chang Sheng also showed his confidence at the post-match press conference.
When many reporters questioned Lazio's performance in the first round, he snorted disdainfully: "We are the victors, and you are questioning the victors' performance is not good enough. I really don't understand where your arrogance comes from.
"
He spread his hands: "Yes, we only beat Manchester United 1:0 at home. But is there anything wrong with this? Do you think this score will cause us to be eliminated?"
A reporter shouted: "Isn't it true? We only win one goal at home, what will we do when we go to the away game?"
Chang Sheng rolled his eyes: "It seems that many people have concluded that we will encounter trouble in the away game. What gave you such an association? I think it has nothing to do with our score in this game, right?"
Another reporter said: "Manchester United performed very tenaciously in this game. Since they can make Lazio suffer a tough battle away from home, why can't they perform better at home?"
Chang Sheng nodded: "Well said, why can't they perform better at their home court? Then why can't we perform better than them in the away game?"
"They are playing at home..."
"Yes, they are at home and we are away. This season we have won all away games in the Champions League. So far, we have scored ten goals on the road and have not conceded a single goal. Can I ask which team has such an away performance?
How many teams are there in the whole of European football this season?"
Chang Sheng's rhetorical question left the other party speechless.
"Can't you answer that? Because there isn't one. Apart from us, Lazio, you can't find a second team in Europe! With a team with such an away record, why do you think we will play at Old Trafford?
Germany is in a dangerous situation? Is Old Trafford more scary than the Allianz Stadium, Schalke, or White Hart Lane?"
A group of reporters were so stunned by his rhetorical questions that no one raised their hands to question.
After Chang Sheng finished teaching these self-righteous reporters, he stood up and left.
Afterwards, all major media reported Chang Sheng's confrontation with reporters at the press conference.
“…always appear confident!”
"Chang said that winning only one goal in the first round has nothing to do with the overall situation. In the end, the team going to Wembley will still be Lazio..."
"It was just one goal ahead, but he still had a smile on his face despite winning many times. He had a verbal exchange with reporters at the post-match press conference..."
"What is often said makes sense. Lazio has already won the Serie A title in advance, and then they only need to concentrate on preparing for the Champions League. And what about Manchester United? They are currently six points ahead of second-placed Chelsea in the Premier League. Such an advantage
It's very big, but with four rounds left in the league, there are still other possibilities. Therefore, Manchester United must still invest more energy in the league, which will affect Manchester United's preparations for the Champions League semi-finals...
…”
"Lazio's performance in away games this season is indeed very good, which may have given Chang confidence. But please don't forget, now is the semi-finals of the Champions League, whoever can win can advance to the final. In this context,
Manchester United will inevitably burst out with strong enough fighting power at their home court, which is completely different from Bayern Munich and Schalke 04 who surrendered from the beginning of the game! If Chang still looks at this game from the old perspective, then
I wouldn't be surprised if Lazio were eliminated at Old Trafford..."
…
For a time, the media was filled with expectations for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
The first round of the game has just ended, and the media has already heated up the second round.
Everyone is eager for the game to come in a week's time.
But of course it's impossible. There is a league game on the weekend, which neither of us can escape.
※※※
Ferguson expressed his confidence after the game to win the second leg and eliminate Lazio.
After the first round of the game, Ferguson was in a good mood.
This mood is reflected in the fact that when he is interviewed by the media, he will also joke with the reporters.
Ferguson certainly has reason to be so happy.
Because he was pleased with the team's performance after conceding a goal, he also gained the confidence to win against Lazio in the second round.
Of course, Ferguson is not happy for such a simple reason.
Some media above analyzed that Lazio is in a better situation than Manchester United because they have already won the championship in advance, so they do not need to struggle in the league and can be free to concentrate on dealing with Manchester United.
But in fact, what Ferguson knows is that the real situation is exactly the opposite of what this media said.
Lazio does not have to compete for the championship, but they still have to compete for another thing, which is to end the season with a complete league victory.
This makes them unable to relax in every league game.
Especially next, Lazio's opponent is Juventus, and their only advantage is that they play at home.
Manchester United's opponents are not weak either, and they are away from home - challenging Arsenal away from home.
However, Ferguson has already decided that he will give up completely on this away game against Arsenal.
It doesn't matter if we lose the game, the purpose is to allow the main lineup to rest and recharge their batteries to face Lazio at Old Trafford in the middle of next week.
Although Manchester United has not locked up the championship yet, Ferguson is not worried about this at all.
Even if they lose to Arsenal and allow Chelsea to catch up with three points, Manchester United still has a chance to decide the outcome - in the 36th round of the league, Manchester United faced Chelsea at home. At that time, Manchester United and Lazio had finished the game, which was just right.
Go all out against Chelsea.
As long as Manchester United can defeat Chelsea at home and widen the point difference to six points again, then Manchester United basically has nothing to worry about in the last two rounds.
Therefore, Manchester United can afford to lose in this league, but Lazio cannot afford to lose.
If Lazio, which cannot afford to lose, struggles with Juventus in the league and wastes too much energy, its away games will naturally be affected.
※※※
Ferguson's analysis was good. It is indeed impossible for Lazio to give up the game against Juventus.
Moreover, Juventus also knows that Lazio will clash with Manchester United next week, so they don't mind taking advantage of the situation and clash with Lazio in this weekend's league game.
They are forcing Lazio to choose one of two options: Lose to us and lose their record of undefeated league wins? Or fight us to exhaustion and be eliminated by Manchester United?
For Juventus, this may be their best chance to defeat Lazio this season.
Before the game, Tuttosport said directly that Juventus was going to cause trouble for Lazio.
Their goal is to defeat Lazio.
Tuttosport also advised Lazio to abandon the league and focus on the Champions League.
The reason they gave is that after the restructuring of the Champions League, no team can defend the title. Lazio is the most promising team. If they are eliminated because of their fierce struggle with Juventus, it will be really worthless.
Anyway, Lazio has already won the league championship, so there is no need to go all out in the next games...
In fact, everyone knows what Lazio is going to do now. With this in mind, Lazio must be aiming to win the season.
They only have four league rounds left.
"Torino Sport" naturally knows this, but they still say this because they cannot understand the ambition of winning all the time. They feel that they have already won the league championship, so there is really no need to continue to waste so much energy in the league. Anyway, Lazio's
The goal is to defend the Triple Crown, win the league title, and the Champions League title is the most important.
This is the difference between mediocre mortals and great people.
They felt that Lazio pushed themselves too hard and it was really unnecessary.
Chang Sheng feels that if you want to be famous forever and achieve a great cause that no one else can do, then you have to work harder than ordinary people.
This kind of thinking is incomprehensible to many people.
They will feel that winning is asking for trouble, and in the end they will only be defeated.
Why bother? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
