Regarding why Chang Sheng didn't come, some people thought that maybe Chang Sheng was just delayed by something, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't come, he would just be a little late.
Didn’t it mean that his wife’s due date was very recent?
Maybe it's because of this?
They are very close to the answer.
But they never expected that Chang Sheng would not come to such an important game with Manchester United!
According to their thinking, if Lazio wants to advance to the semi-finals, Manchester United will definitely be eliminated.
So this away game against Manchester United is particularly important.
If Lazio loses to Manchester United on the road, they will face huge pressure when they return to home. When Mourinho's team puts a little more pressure on Lazio, maybe the team will collapse.
It stands to reason that in such an important game, the head coach must be on-site to direct the game and try his best to ensure that his team wins the game.
So even if I don't see Chang Sheng now, I don't necessarily think I won't see him in the future. Anyway, he will definitely come before the game starts.
Until the pre-game press conference, reporters held this view.
Assistant coach Nesta, who knew that Chang Sheng attended the press conference on behalf of Chang Sheng, told reporters: "General Chang will not come to the scene for this game. He has some things at home that need to be resolved..."
The reporters in the audience were so shocked that they even forgot to raise their hands before asking questions. Instead, they asked directly: "Does that mean Chang won't be here to direct the game? Is that right?"
"So Lazio's performance in this game will also be affected?"
"Can you tell me why he is unable to direct this game?"
If it were Chang Sheng himself, seeing such a messy press conference, he would immediately shut up and stop answering, and insist that all reporters raise their hands first, and only ask permission before they can ask questions.
But Nesta is a good person. He didn't care about the reporters' undisciplined writing, but patiently answered the reporters' questions one by one.
"Yes, Chang will not come to the scene... I don't think Lazio's performance will be affected... As we all know, Chang's wife is going to give birth. The due date is within these two days, so Chang decided to stay in Rome to be with him.
Family. He made the right choice..."
The reporters below looked at each other.
Sure enough, they guessed correctly. Chang Sheng did not come to Manchester with the team because his wife was about to give birth.
But what they didn't guess was that Chang Sheng would be much more ruthless than they thought! Such an important game would not come if it was not possible! The power to direct the game was directly given to assistant coach Nesta!
As soon as the news came out, the media started to use their brains to analyze it.
Chang Winning might be an arrangement that kills two birds with one stone.
How many days did it take to give birth? If Chang Sheng really wanted to come to Manchester, he would definitely be able to come.
But why doesn't he come?
I'm afraid it's not just as simple as having a baby, right?
This season is his last at Lazio.
After he leaves, Lazio will also fall apart.
This is very clear now.
So as you have coached a team with morale for three seasons, you have some feelings for it, right?
Chang Sheng would not hope that with his departure, this all-powerful team would fall apart like this.
So even if he wants to leave, he must try to remain stable.
He hopes to train a successor for the team.
There were rumors before that Nesta would become Lazio's head coach after Chang Sheng leaves the team.
So now Changsheng lets Nesta appear in the pre-match press conference instead of him. It is obviously a test for Nesta. I hope he can accumulate experience through this on-site command of the game. This will help him successfully become a qualified
First team head coach.
This game is a battle to cultivate a victorious successor.
※※※
This analysis is reasonable and reasonable, and as soon as it came out, it was approved by the vast majority of people.
But using the Champions League quarter-finals to train his successor...isn't this too serious about not taking the Champions League quarter-finals seriously?
In the whole world, I'm afraid only a madman like Chang Sheng can do this.
At the same time, what he did was also contempt for his opponent.
If you value your opponent, you will naturally go all out and supervise the battle yourself.
It was precisely because he didn't take his opponent seriously that he made such a move.
Using an interim head coach who has never coached the first team to face Mourinho's Manchester United... really makes people wonder whether he did it on purpose.
You don’t take Mourinho seriously at all!
Mourinho was furious with Chang Sheng's move.
But he had no chance to express his anger directly to the media because the game was about to start.
He could only reiterate to his players in the locker room before the game that Chang Sheng was contemptuous of Manchester United and stimulate the fighting spirit of the Manchester United players.
Then go on the pitch and beat Lazio.
Chang Sheng regrets using this method!
※※※
As a result, Manchester United defeated Lazio by 31 at home. Nesta's on-the-spot command was indeed inferior to Mourinho's, and Lazio fell behind by two goals in the first half.
But Nesta showed his tenacity.
Just like his playing style, he is very tenacious when defending.
With Manchester United already leading by three goals, after his adjustments, Lazio scored a goal before the end of the game!
This goal made Nesta so happy that he raised his arms and shouted from the sidelines.
Even the commentators thought this ball was very important for Lazio.
If it was just a 0:3 defeat, Lazio’s! It would be very difficult to come back in the first round.!
But because of this away goal, in the second round, as long as Lazio can win at home with 20 goals, there will be no problem. They will eliminate Manchester United with the advantage of more away goals.
One goal greatly improved Lazio's promotion situation. This is the beauty of football.
Sometimes, there is really only a thin line between heaven and hell.
Before Lazio scored, the Old Trafford stadium was filled with the excited singing of Manchester United fans. By beating Lazio 30 points, Manchester United has a great hope of advancing to the semi-finals.
But when Lazio scored a goal, the singing stopped.
They all understand what this goal means.
Lazio, who was already on the verge of death, came back to life!
The Italian commentator was the most excited. After Ji Ming scored this valuable away goal for Lazio, he kept shouting Ji Ming's name in a long voice, again and again, until he was hoarse.
Finally, he said hoarsely: "He saved Lazio!"
Mourinho's face didn't look good either.
When he was leading by three goals, he was sitting on the coaching bench with his legs crossed, looking very carefree.
After Ji Ming scored, he stood up from his seat and looked very angry about the goal.
※※※
In the end, Lazio lost to Manchester United 1:3 in the away game.
But no one dares to say that Lazio will definitely be out and Manchester United will definitely advance to the semi-finals.
Such a game, Chang Sheng did not watch the live broadcast in front of the TV.
When Lazio played Manchester United away from home, Chang Sheng was holding Avril Lavigne's hand in the delivery room and working hard with her - they were working hard for their third child.
Doctors and nurses are also busy, guiding Avril to give birth to the baby.
In the early hours of the morning, with a loud cry, Chang Sheng and Avril's third child was born, a son.
When Chang Sheng was smiling happily while holding his third child, he didn't know that his team had lost the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals away from home...
The next day, the news of Lazio's 1:3 away defeat to Manchester United appeared prominently in the sports pages of the media.
Chang Sheng and Avril Lavigne were pregnant with their son, and they appeared on the celebrity gossip entertainment page.
Some media ridiculed Chang Sheng and Lazio, saying that on the day when Chang Sheng gave birth to his son, Lazio lost the game instead, really not giving any face to their boss. On such a happy day, shouldn't there be a game?
Is victory coming as a gift to their boss?
The Chinese media temporarily put aside the results of the Champions League and cheered: "Ji Ming is the core of Chinese football for the next ten years, and the eldest son Chang Wei, who has always won, is the core of Chinese football for the next ten years."
Now it’s good, we even have the core for thirty years and ten years later! At least the core of Chinese football in the next forty years no longer has to be searched hard!”

When the entire Lazio team arrived at Rome Leonardo da Vinci Airport, Chang Sheng and Avril Lavigne returned home holding their third child.
At the door of their home, they stood outside the gate, holding their children and allowing reporters to take photos.
Both Chang Sheng and Avril looked very happy in front of the camera, with happy smiles on their faces.
But in such a happy day, there are always people who want to embarrass Chang Sheng.
Pacheco is among this group of people.
He has been a rival with Chang Sheng for more than ten years, and he is still fighting against Chang Sheng even now.
While the photographers were taking pictures, he raised his hand and asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Chang, seeing that you are so happy, you must not know that your team lost in the away game, right? Do you need me to tell you the score?"
Chang Sheng is no stranger to Pacheco either. When he sees him, he knows that he has bad words to say.
So he shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Pacheco, no need. I have already had a phone call with Alejandro. He told me the results and process of the game."
"Now that you know the result, why do you still look so happy? Don't you care at all about Lazio's fate?"
Pacheco's words were heartbreaking, and he just wanted to add trouble to Chang Sheng.
Moreover, he also wanted to create a public opinion, that is, he wanted to prove to Lazio fans that their head coach was a selfish man who had abandoned Lazio for the sake of his children.
Such a head coach obviously does not deserve their support.
This is to sow discord.
Chang Sheng won’t fall for his tricks.
He was still smiling and seemed not to take Pacheco's ill-intentioned question to heart at all.
In fact, Pacheco was just waiting for him to get angry.
Then he can say that winning is the state of mind, otherwise why would he be angry?
As a result, Chang Sheng continues to smile, but he doesn't know what to do.
Chang Sheng smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, the quarter-finals are two rounds, and we have one more game. It's no big deal. Don't make a fuss, Mr. Pacheco."
Then he stopped talking to Pacheco, and Pacheco didn't know how to ask further.
After Chang Sheng and Avril Lavigne took the photos, they turned around and walked into the yard of their home. The door was closed in front of the reporters. They could no longer see Chang Sheng and Avril Lavigne.
The reporters dispersed one after another.
Only Pacheco remained until the end.
He spat at the closed door: "I'll make you crazy! You'll cry after the second round!"
