Chapter 88 Changsheng Department (guarantee bottom line)
Guardiola's Barcelona defeated Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals to reach the Champions League semi-finals.
It was a contest between Chang Sheng's two disciples.
Klose's Bayern Munich versus Guardiola's Bayern Munich.
In the end, the more experienced Guardiola defeated Klose.
Despite this, Klose's performance also received unanimous praise from the German media.
Because you must know that this is his first time as a head coach to coach a team independently, let alone a complex team like Bayern Munich.
He can lead the team to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which is already very good. In the domestic league, his Bayern Munich is also temporarily four points ahead of Dortmund, and is expected to win the league championship.
Coaches trained by Chang Sheng are gradually becoming mainstream in European football.
Guardiola has long been a famous coach. Di Matteo also helped this team win the Champions League at Chelsea. Ballack once led Bayern Munich to win the Champions League and is now coaching the German national team.
Coaches such as Klose and Stramaccioni also did a great job in their teams.
Maybe people haven't realized it yet, but European football has indeed begun to see the emergence of so-called "winners."
UEFA lets them fight each other, maybe just to curb the winning streak.
Just like how UEFA suppressed Premier League teams in the past. When the top four teams in the Champions League are all Premier League teams, there is no need to suppress them.
The current situation is the same as when I wanted to die.
There are four winning teams in the Champions League quarter-finals - Lazio, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
It occupies half of the country.
If these four teams all reach the semi-finals, then the Champions League might as well be renamed the "Victory Cup".
Therefore, even if human intervention is used, this situation must be avoided.
In the end, Barcelona and Bayern Munich fought each other, and then the winner of Barcelona and Bayern Munich challenged the winner of Lazio and Manchester United.
This ensures that at least one less team will reach the semi-finals, and even fewer teams will reach the Champions League finals.
Teams like Barcelona and Lazio are both capable of entering the finals, so they must lose one in the semi-finals.
Now that Barcelona and Lazio are fighting each other, UEFA is a little relieved.
※※※
After both sides reached the semifinals, Chang Sheng took the lead in launching a psychological battle during the interview.
"I'm very happy to meet Pep's team Barcelona in the semi-finals. Barcelona is a team I know very well and like because we always win."
What he said was that he didn't take Barcelona seriously at all. Chang Sheng declared victory in advance before the game even started.
Guardiola was not to be outdone: "Lazio is very strong but Barcelona is not weak either.
When I returned to coach Barcelona, I said that my goal was to win the Champions League again!"
Just watching this conversation, you will feel that there is a strong smell of gunpowder between the two people.
This makes many people feel strange. Don't the two of them have a good relationship? Then why are they so ruthless when competing with each other?
Wouldn't their relationship really be affected by such words?
In other words, their good relationship is only on the surface for everyone to see, but in fact they are unhappy with each other deep down.
Just like Chang Sheng and Lotito.
On the surface, they seemed to have a good relationship, but in fact, the relationship between the two people broke down long ago.
In fact, this is not only the case with Chang Sheng and Guardiola, Chang Sheng also plays against other disciples.
This is just their habit.
It's really not as complicated as outsiders speculate.
Chang Sheng emphasized this issue to them more than once before they went out to fly solo.
Competition is competition, friendship is friendship.
If anyone thinks that if we have a good relationship with each other, then I will let them go during the competition, that is wishful thinking!
Similarly, if you are timid when competing with Chang Sheng because of this relationship, you will die miserably in the end - Chang Sheng will never show mercy.
It is precisely because of the good relationship between the two parties that we take it so seriously.
Chang Sheng told them that this was respect.
If I don't respect you and I just send some people there regardless of winning or losing, I'm looking down on you.
So for everyone who walks away from him and goes solo, he will tell you: "Next time we meet, we will be enemies. Don't think that I will be merciful. If you have any doubts about this, you can give it a try when the time comes."
!”
His disciples are also used to it.
Because every time they play against each other for the first time, Chang Sheng will use practical actions to show that he is definitely not kidding.
Chang Sheng and Guardiola have been "enemies" for the longest time, and they have become accustomed to such duels between the two sides.
So when it's time to have a war of words, neither of the two people will have any awkward emotions.
They can already switch back and forth between two different roles easily.
※※※
In fact, given Barcelona's hatred for winning games, even without Guardiola, the pre-game was so lively and full of gunpowder.
When Chang Sheng was still in Valencia, he left several deep scars on Barcelona.
After coming to Rao, he ruined Barcelona's good things many times!
The last time he had a feud with Chang Sheng was in the Champions League final, when Messi had just transferred to Lazio.
Of course, there is no problem with Messi leaving Barcelona, but there is a big problem if he chooses to go to Lazio.
Because Lazio's head coach Chang Sheng once publicly criticized Messi as not worthy of winning the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Many people think that Messi still chooses to go to Lazio under such circumstances, which is purely a knee-jerk rhythm, which is disgusting.
But Messi just believes that Lazio has the ability to help him complete his revenge against Barcelona.
Sure enough, in the Champions League final, Barcelona encountered Lazio.
Messi started the game in that game and was very lively and active, completely defeating Neymar who had squeezed him away from Barcelona.
Then he helped Lazio defeat Barcelona and win the Champions League.
Messi also completed a perfect revenge.
Barcelona was defeated by a player they didn't want, and even had Chang Sheng laugh at them for a long time after the game. Barcelona's hatred of Chang Sheng would naturally be even deeper.
Since then, the two teams have never met.
Whether it is the group stage or the knockout stage.
Never encountered them before.
Later, Lazio gradually declined while Barcelona's performance has always been strong.
This seems to give Barcelona fans finally some sense of superiority when looking at Lazio's problems.
Especially after news broke that Chang Sheng had completely fallen out with Lazio and would leave if his contract was not renewed.
Barcelona fans all ridiculed Lazio: "What, you are nothing without Chang! This is the problem of having no foundation! We at Lazio have changed many coaches, and they are all world-class giants. What about you? You have lost Chang.
, you are still nothing!"
Barcelona fans hope to beat Lazio in this clash.
Because Lazio in the future will not be worth their efforts to defeat.
At that time, Lazio was no different from any ordinary team. Barcelona could crush Lazio into powder without any effort.
The arrogant Barcelona naturally disdains to be entangled with such a team.
Lazio, who has no winning streak, is not even qualified to be their opponent.
And now this is the last battle between Lazio and Barcelona. Barcelona fans don’t want to leave their regrets until later.
They know that this is Chang Sheng's last season at Lazio, and they also know that Chang Sheng's goal in his last season at Lazio is to win the championship, and he must value this Champions League championship particularly.
In the past, I always won and disturbed others.
Now it's Barcelona's turn to disrupt their winning streak!
※※※
The game against Barcelona is coming soon.
Lazio's first leg is at home.
More than an hour before the game started, many people gathered in the square.
The most crowded place is naturally outside the outer wall of the North Stand of Wanda Stadium, because there is a statue of Victory there.
Since the completion of this statue, it has become almost a famous tourist attraction.
Regardless of whether it's a game day or not, there are many people coming here to take photos.
Finally, those who couldn't come to the scene imitated Chang Sheng's actions and took photos themselves, and then uploaded them online.
To show their support and love for Chang Sheng.
Some Lazio fans even called for this winning move to be a permanent cheering move for Lazio fans, representing Lazio's belief in never giving up and daring to challenge powerful opponents.
This will be the best legacy left to Lazio after winning.
The number of champions will drop sharply as the winning streak goes away, and this is something they cannot control.
But the spirit lasts forever and will not fade over time, and it does not matter who will be the head coach of this team.
Many Barcelona fans came outside the stadium in advance and saw the statue of Victory.
But their mood is different from that of Lazio fans.
Their hearts were filled with disdain and gloating.
Poor Lazio can only plant a statue here to pray for the blessing of constant victory.
But what is the use of the statue?
Just dead things.
Can the statue still direct Lazio to win games and championships?
And you love him so much, how does he treat you? He just left, patting his butt, leaving only a mess for you to clean up. And he? He can change teams and continue to win the championship.
What do you care about Lazio's life and death?
Just like this, you still want to build a statue for him and worship him... It's really crazy!
You deserve it that you will never be able to live in a rich family for the rest of your life!
Slaves who regard one person as their savior will never understand our Barcelona spirit of pursuing independence!
A wealthy family is not about how many championships it has won or how many fans it has, but about the spirit of independence and pursuit of freedom!
Barcelona fans looked at the Lazio fans rushing to take photos in front of the Victory Statue, and they felt filled with a sense of superiority.
