During the coin guessing before the game, Lazio got the right to pick the side.
When seeing this result, Chang Sheng pursed his lips on the sidelines.
This is a good start.
The next step is to pick sides.
The team's captain, Jose Passarella, decisively chose the half where Lazio was warming up.
Lazio got the half they wanted.
When Tony Twain saw this scene on the sidelines, he couldn't help but laugh.
He even turned to look at Lazio's coaching bench with a smile on his face to see what Chang Sheng was doing.
Chang Sheng stood on the sidelines, folding his hands on his chest and frowning.
Seeing him like this, Tony Twain felt quite proud.
If Chang Sheng thinks that this stadium is only half like a rotten vegetable patch, then he can give them a surprise when the game officially starts!
※※※
The referee blew the whistle and the game started.
Nottingham Forest kicked off the attack.
This is different from when they were on the road.
In the away game, Nottingham Forest took back its defense from the beginning of the game and defended the 30-meter zone.
At home, they actively attacked!
This really surprises many people who assert that Nottingham Forest can only defend.
Seeing the Nottingham Forest attack, Chang Sheng stared at the Nottingham Forest players.
The condition of the half-court field where Lazio was located was very bad, and he wanted to see how the Nottingham Forest players responded to this kind of field.
He thought that if his players would get injured on such a field, then Nottingham Forest's players would not be much better.
The venue conditions should be fair to both parties. There is no such thing as me suffering a loss and others taking advantage.
But what happened next left Chang Sheng stunned!
Because he saw the Nottingham Forest players walking like flying on the rotten vegetable patch!
What the fuck is going on?!
The first thought that popped into Chang Sheng's mind was this.
The same rotten vegetable field, our players have to be very careful when running on it, for fear of injuring their ankles or spraining their knees, just like Thiago.
How come they were replaced by Nottingham Forest players and they could completely ignore this terrible venue?
This is unscientific!
The venue is fair to everyone...it is impossible to discriminate.
Is Nottingham Forest's home court already so smart? Can it automatically identify whether a running player is a Lazio player or a Nottingham Forest player, and then treat it differently?
Or what secrets have the Nottingham Forest players mastered that can allow them to run smoothly on such a bad surface?
Chang Sheng felt that today's game completely overturned his common sense. He had never seen anything like this in his two lifetimes!
It is absolutely impossible for a bad venue to have different performance results for the two teams!
※※※
The Lazio players on the field also seemed surprised to see the Nottingham Forest players running as fast as they could.
Before the game, their boss repeatedly mentioned to them that the venue was fair to both teams.
But what's going on?
How can Nottingham Forest players run so fast on the pitch?
Are they afraid of spraining their ankle?
Lazio's players were in a state of confusion because of the performance of the Nottingham Forest players that completely exceeded their expectations.
This should be a great opportunity for Nottingham Forest.
Even Tony Twain, who was on the sidelines, could see it.
He clenched his fists, waiting to cheer for Nottingham Forest's goal.
Nottingham Forest's offense quickly hit Lazio's penalty area!
Generally speaking, if you can enter the penalty area, it is very dangerous. In a game, not every opponent's attack may be able to enter the penalty area.
So when they saw the football being played into the Lazio penalty area, the Nottingham Forest fans at the City Stadium let out a huge cheer.
Chang Sheng also became nervous. He couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it..."
I saw Nottingham Forest forward Adriano Mock receiving a pass from his teammate in the penalty area, and then moved the football to the outside, preparing to avoid the angle and shoot!
At this critical moment, Lazio captain Jose Passarella rushed in and made a very precise tackle!
Before Adriano Mock, Jose Passarella shoveled the football out of the baseline!
Then Mok kicked Jose Passarella's leg. Due to inertia, he staggered and fell in the penalty area.
The Nottingham Forest fans in the stands, Nottingham Forest head coach Tony Twain standing on the sidelines, and the Nottingham Forest players on the field all raised their hands and shouted: "This is a penalty!!"
The referee did not blow the whistle to point to the penalty spot, but pointed directly to the corner flag!
Corner kick!
Nottingham Forest wins a corner kick!
The Nottingham Forest players were obviously dissatisfied with this result. They surrounded the referee and complained about Adriano Mocque.
Tony Twain also looked very angry. He shouted at the fourth official: "This is definitely a penalty! One hundred percent!"
Chang Sheng was not idle either. Seeing what Tony Twain said, he went up to refute: "Jose's defense doesn't require fouls! Stop yelling!"
Tony Twain actually came up to provoke Chang Sheng, so he ignored the fourth official and pointed the finger at Chang Sheng: "Everyone knows whether it is a penalty kick or not."
Chang Sheng nodded: "Yes, we all know it. Do you dare to bet? I bet 10 million euros that this is not a penalty kick. Do you want us to establish a document and then use the slow-motion camera as the criterion?"
Most people bet at most on a meal or a bottle of wine... There is no one like Chang Sheng, which starts at 10 million yuan...
In terms of money, Chang Sheng is much richer than Tony Twain.
He naturally has the confidence to say so.
Tony Twain also knows this very well. This constant victory is just to throw money at him again.
But he couldn't help it.
So he rolled his eyes, turned around and ignored Chang Sheng.
※※※
The off-court confrontation between the two head coaches ended quickly, and the Chang Sheng dispute gradually subsided.
Although it is good to get a penalty kick at the beginning, there is no need to dwell on it if you really can't get it. After all, this game has just begun, and judging from their attack just now, the Nottingham Forest players are very disappointed with themselves.
Very confident.
Even if this penalty kick is not awarded, they are confident that they can beat Lazio in this game.
So seeing that the referee insisted on his opinion, they stopped arguing.
If you continue to struggle, it will be too bad to get a yellow card.
Of course, in the end, the slow-motion replay on TV proved Jose Passarella's innocence.
"A very clean tackle that didn't touch Mok at all! Jose Passarella's tackle was accurate and decisive, and he was very courageous! Generally, defenders don't dare to tackle easily when defending in the penalty area.
Yes, because this is likely to cause a foul and give the opponent a penalty kick... But Jose Passarella was very decisive when he tackled the ball, and it was his decisiveness that saved Lazio!"
While the Nottingham Forest players were still surrounding the referee, Jose Passarella had already started to boost the morale of his teammates.
He didn't seem to care at all whether his tackle was a foul or whether it would give Nottingham Forest a penalty kick.
"The field is not good for us, guys." Jose Passarella called his teammates together and said to them. "And not only that, our opponents seemed to have no problem. I don't know how they
I did it, now is not the time to study this problem. I only know that we cannot lose this game! So next, cheer me up, this game has just begun, we can’t relax! It’s time to make the move
There is absolutely no hesitation! We shrink and don't give them too much space in the penalty area. If there is a chance to counterattack, we will move forward to give Mario and Leo..."
Jose Passarella's idea for the team is to shrink the defense, and at the same time, make as many big-footed clearances as possible during defense, so that the football can fly more in the air, thus reducing accidents.
I have to say that Jose Passarella's choice is very correct. If he switches to a regular winner, this is probably the arrangement.
Because the venue is not good, Lazio's pass-and-receive coordination on the ground, which they are good at, cannot be achieved at all, so they need to go to the sky.
Counterattacking with long passes and wide kicks are the best methods.
As a player on the court, it is not easy to be keenly aware of problems and make correct judgments and decisions.
Jose Passarella can become the best defender in the world, and his mind plays a vital role.
Privately everyone in Chang Sheng believes that Jose Passarella will become a very good head coach after he retires...
Jose Passarella has played for Lazio for seventeen years. Chang Sheng has been coaching this team for as long as he has played here. This makes him the second-best player in Lazio after Modric.
The player with the longest time.
Since Rocky retired, Jose Passarella has been promoted to the team's first captain. In addition, before that, he had actually been wearing the captain's armband and performing the captain's duties.
Therefore, in the Lazio team, Jose Passarella's authority is very high. It is no exaggeration to say that he is second only to their boss in terms of winning.
Sometimes, Jose Passarella is basically Chang Sheng's spokesperson in the locker room.
Of course, teammates listen to Jose Passarella not because he is the spokesperson for winning, but because of his strength, loyalty, and honor.
As the best defender in the world, he deserves everyone's respect.
Seeing how calm the captain was, the other Lazio players also recovered from their previous shock.
Yes, this game will be difficult to win at the moment, but are we going to give in and surrender like this?
What is Nottingham Forest?
Just a dark horse.
We, Lazio, were once the European hegemons, how could we lose to Nottingham Forest? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
