Although they are opponents, Chang Sheng admires Tony Twain very much. He does not want to think that he is a time traveler and there are some system plug-ins to help him.
He relied on his keen vision and excellent execution ability to lead Nottingham Forest to regain its glory.
And Chang Sheng actually agreed with what Tang En said in the interview.
He doesn't like to imitate himself when fighting. Lazio's football is suitable for Lazio, but it may not be suitable for all teams.
Everyone imitates Lazio, which makes the football world monotonous. The so-called spring does not mean a single standout, but a hundred flowers blooming.
Today's football world is becoming more and more polarized.
He doesn't like this kind of football either.
Of course, he definitely didn't think so because the teams that imitated him defeated Lazio and won the championship - in fact, these poor imitators are not afraid of winning, and Lazio beat them easily.
Chang Sheng simply doesn't like this kind of behavior.
The football he likes is full of different styles.
Just like him and Mourinho, although he has never expressed his love for Mourinho, Mourinho insists on his own football philosophy and resists himself. He is also an opponent worthy of respect.
His football is clearly his own.
This is something that many coaches now don't have. They just imitate. If something is popular today, they will learn this. If something becomes popular tomorrow, they will abandon what they learned before and learn that instead.
And Tony Twain's football obviously carries his unique brand.
Apart from being useless on defensive counterattacks and controlling the ball, he is just tenacious and tough.
This is just like Tony Twain.
When studying an opponent, one cannot just study their tactics. It is best to also know what kind of person their opponent is.
This is even more important than tactics.
Because if you know who your opponent is, you can deduce his habits from his character.
You can directly grasp the essence of the problem.
A head coach's on-the-spot instructions and pre-match arrangements are all related to their personality.
For example, a head coach with a cautious personality will never choose to play against an opponent who is good at offense during the game.
Those with arrogant personalities are prone to making mistakes.
So what kind of person is Tony Twain?
He is a contradiction.
This is a winning conclusion.
He looks arrogant, but in fact he is very cautious and he also has a tough side.
His tough side has been reflected in his team. As a defensive team, Nottingham Forest is very tenacious in defense. This tenacity effectively helps Nottingham Forest defend.
At the same time, his caution is reflected in why he chooses to defend and counterattack.
As for arrogance...
Chang Sheng thought that maybe this was just a shell he put on himself.
Tony Twain is known as the "New Madman" and "Clough II" in English football.
Because Brian Clough, the former legendary coach of Nottingham Forest, led Nottingham Forest to win the Champions League championship for two consecutive seasons, completing the process of "still in the English Second Division in the first year, and the English First Division championship in the second year."
, the Champions League champion in the third year, and the defending Champions League champion in the fourth year." A great four-jump jump.
The head coach is known for his unruly personality.
It can be said that he is the originator of the "madman" coaching style.
And for Tony Twain to be given such a nickname, it is natural to see his acting style.
Tony Twain indeed has a lot of moves in English football that make people shake their heads.
He often uses his loud mouth to taunt people and stir up trouble, offending colleagues, reporters, and even the Football Association.
However, he knows how to measure things, and every time he offends someone, he doesn't offend deeply.
And once he makes a mistake, he will admit it with a good attitude.
Especially when facing the Football Association, because of his temper, he has been suspended 11 times in his seven-year coaching career, which is more than once a year on average.
Every time he was suspended, his confession was sincere.
But once the suspension period expired, he forgot about it. Next time he would be sent to the stands for provoking the referee on the sidelines, and then he would plead guilty and face the law...
This cycle continues.
Chang Sheng analyzed it over and over again and believed that Tony Twain should be a utilitarian like himself.
He originally chose Tiki-taka because this kind of football can help him win better.
So Tony Twain chose to defend and counterattack only because he thought that it would be easier to win this way.
Facts also proved him correct.
When everyone is holding high the banner of offensive football, going against the trend and choosing defensive counterattacks can indeed be a good way to deal with teams that play offensive football.
A person somewhat similar to myself...
Chang Sheng thought to himself, this is hard to deal with.
Because he himself is the most difficult person to defeat in this world!
What a narcissist...
※※※
With Tony Twain's character and temper, it would be abnormal not to stir up trouble before the game.
So before Nottingham Forest challenged Lazio away, Tony Twain fired at Lazio.
"Lazio is the main culprit for why football is so boring now. Football should be colorful, but now football is only black and white... It's so boring! And it's too boring to always have one team win the championship. When the football world lacks
Without competition, what is the need for this sport to exist? Fortunately, in the past two years, Lazio has finally been pulled down from the altar. We have seen Lazio achieve nothing in two seasons. I think this kind of Lazio
That’s normal…”
Tang En tried to anger Chang Sheng.
If Chang Sheng is easily fooled, then he is not Chang Sheng.
Because Chang Sheng had played this trick before. In order to anger his opponents, he would say anything. He really had no taboos.
So it's also very annoying.
In order to win, Chang Sheng naturally doesn't care about these things.
Now Tony Twain's behavior made him feel as if he was seeing his younger self.
After Tang En said these words, media across Europe were reporting and reprinting them frantically. They wanted to see how Chang Sheng responded.
This is a naked slap in the face!
Can you endure it with your ever-victorious temper?
Of course, judging from Chang Sheng’s style in the past few years, it’s hard to say. Maybe he will really tolerate it?
At the pre-match press conference, Chang Sheng laughed after listening to what the reporters said: "Mr. Tony Twain's logic is a little unclear. Lazio did not take pleasure in teaching others and spread this tactic throughout the world. Others
The team wants to learn from us, can we still stop it? Or should I say, 'Please other teams be careful when learning Lazio's tactics, so as not to shame this great tactic'? What they want to learn is
We at Lazio have no control over their affairs. And there is one thing that I strongly disagree with Mr. Tony Twain. Lazio that does not win the championship is not a normal Lazio. If Tony Twain doesn't believe it, I welcome him to give it a try!
"
In the past, Chang Sheng rarely responded to verbal sparring. Now he is a famous coach no matter how you say it. He will fight back no matter who attacks him. That would be too embarrassing for the other party. The other party can take advantage of this matter.
Hype and increase his popularity.
This kind of thing is of no benefit to Chang Sheng, so he won't do it.
But Tony Twain and Chang Sheng were the exception.
His counterattack was quickly reported by major European media.
This is the first round of the battle between the two sides. At present, it seems that Chang Sheng is slightly better.
Because what he said is very reasonable. If others want to imitate Lazio, Lazio really can't stop them.
Therefore, it is unreasonable for Tony Twain to use this matter to criticize Lazio.
※※※
After the verbal battle in the first round, the official match is about to begin.
Lazio faced Nottingham Forest at home.
This game also attracted the attention of the whole of Europe - in fact, as long as Lazio plays in the Group of Death games, it can basically attract the attention of the whole of Europe.
No matter how many people feel disdain for Lazio, this ironclad fact fully illustrates Lazio's status in European football.
European media called this game a showdown between the former European hegemon and the strongest dark horse.
The former European hegemon was, of course, Lazio. The reason for this was that Lazio had not won the Champions League for three seasons.
Nottingham Forest actually won two Champions League championships in a row a long time ago, but they are not yet the European hegemons, and their history is too long. Many people have forgotten it now.
If Nottingham Forest had not returned to the Champions League again, it is estimated that many fans would not know that this little-known team is actually a team that has won two Champions League titles...
Today's Wanda Stadium is packed with seats.
The fans came to watch the excitement and hope that Lazio would win the game.
The professional reporters in the media gallery came to see the door.
They want to see how the team that was once known as Europe's strongest offensive team will perform when facing the strongest defensive team in Europe today.
In a conflict of contradictions, which one wins with the sharpest spear or the strongest shield?
No matter which side wins, this game may bring some changes to the pattern of European football.
Nottingham Forest has certainly received a lot of criticism and disdain during their rise, but their results are seen by everyone.
The defensive counterattack has been used to the extreme, and the performance and results are not inferior to those of offensive football. This is a result that everyone can see.
So if Nottingham Forest can rely on their defensive counterattack to defeat Lazio away from home, will there be more teams in European football that play defensive counterattack?
By then, it will no longer be a world dominated by offensive football.
And if Lazio wins, everyone can clearly see how Nottingham Forest failed, proving that their path is unworkable.
In this way, European football will continue to be dominated by offensive football.
This is the profound significance of this seemingly ordinary game. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
