Chapter 30 Victory's Life and Football Philosophy (115/136)
Although Chang Sheng won the first round of the Italian league in both seasons, he received completely different evaluations.
He led the team to defeat Fiorentina 1:0 at home in Rome, but that game was not satisfactory.
Because everyone can see that winning is a bit of a fluke.
So after that game, there was a lot of criticism in the media.
But this time, when his Lazio defeated Messina, the media was full of praise.
Even those media who are really unhappy with the constant victory can only take measures to downplay it at this time and try not to mention the contribution to the constant victory in this game.
But they couldn't erase Lazio's victory.
Lazio fans are finally proud.

In the second round of the league, Roma lost 0:1 at home to Udinese.
Lazio drew 1:1 with Cagliari away from home.
The two Roma teams did not win because they both had a UEFA Cup match in midweek.
For this game, both teams chose to give up the league.
This is nothing to be surprised about.
The key is to see whether the two teams can achieve good results in the UEFA Cup after giving up the league.
Roma, who played at home in midweek, defeated Aris of Greece 5:1. This seemed to be a response to the rise of Lazio - don't be arrogant, the best team in Rome is still our Roma!
One day later, Lazio defeated Belgium's Germinal 3:0 in an away game.
Lazio responded again - don't be too happy, it's not yet certain who is the boss!
The competition between the two teams has begun in full swing, from league results to cup results, from influence to stadium attendance, from honors to enjoyment...
In all aspects, the competition between Lazio and Roma, the rivals in the same city, has prospered the football atmosphere in the city of Rome.
※※※
Because they played the UEFA Cup in the middle of the week, they were away from home. Therefore, in the weekend league, Chang Sheng continued to rotate and replaced most of the players who participated in the UEFA Cup.
But even so, Lazio still defeated newly promoted Treviso 1:0 at home.
Considering that this team only got together this summer, it is not easy to perform like this after changing the main lineup. This shows that Chang Sheng fully considers the balance of the lineup when buying players.
It does not blindly widen the gap in strength between the main players and the substitutes.
In his team and tactics, anyone can be the main player as long as they perform well, it has nothing to do with their strength.
As long as they can execute the tactics faithfully, it won't be a problem.
※※※
In the fourth round of the league, Chang Sheng ushered in another test for him after becoming the head coach of Lazio. They will challenge AC Milan away from home in the league!
Since the end of the last league game, the media from both sides have started to hype it up.
Although "Corriere dello Sport" is a media biased towards Rome, when the Roma team competes with other teams, they must support Lazio.
On the other hand, Gazzetta dello Sport, as always, firmly denigrates Chang Sheng and Lazio.
They are one of the most influential professional sports media in Europe, and their criticism and doubts about Chang Sheng have a very wide impact.
Of course, it will be a great sense of accomplishment for Chang Sheng to win against such a media.
Last season, Chang Sheng was in such a difficult situation in Rome, and he was never at a disadvantage when facing the Milan duo.
Once at home and once away, they challenged Inter Milan and AC Milan respectively, and both games were draws.
3:3 draw with Inter Milan, 1:1 draw with AC Milan.
This made "Gazzetta dello Sport" particularly unhappy. Because Chang Sheng was in internal and external troubles at the time, it was a great opportunity to defeat him and humiliate him, but even so, Chang Sheng did not allow them to get what they wanted.
His team had many problems before, and playing against the Milan duo was like taking drugs.
This makes Gazzetta dello Sport the most depressing.
Therefore, after Roma dismissed the winner, "Gazzetta dello Sport" cheered the loudest.
What they couldn't do, Roma Club helped them do.
But I didn’t expect that after half a season, Chang Sheng would stay in Rome and choose Lazio, Rome’s rival in the same city!
This disappointed those "Gazzetta dello Sport" who were prepared to see Chang Sheng leave Italy in despair and go to England to pursue a coaching paradise.
They were ready to laugh at Chang Sheng and make him lose face!
Unexpectedly... Chang Sheng actually stayed!
Chang Sheng didn't desert, so naturally they couldn't bring this up against him.
I can't say anything, I can't vent my anger, I can only hold it in my heart. It feels so uncomfortable.
So for this match, "Gazzetta dello Sport" couldn't wait to start firing.
They said that AC Milan has a high chance of beating Lazio at home in this game.
Because AC Milan is playing at home.
This is the most critical.
The San Siro Stadium is the home ground of AC Milan and a sacred place. Playing in this stadium, the performance of AC Milan players will be greatly improved. AC Milan is not afraid of winning teams here. This is the home field advantage.
And there is another data to support their view, that is, no matter whether Valencia or Roma are coached by winning coaches, they have not been able to win at the San Siro Stadium.
Coaching Valencia, he visited San Siro three times and lost all of them, losing once to Inter Milan and twice to AC Milan. After coaching Roma, he led Roma to visit San Siro and only got a draw.
So maybe San Siro is the Waterloo of winning times.

"This is the perfect revenge!"
The headline of "Gazzetta dello Sport" is this.
Chang Sheng sarcastically said: "If I remember correctly, before Roma and AC Milan met last year, they also had such a title? I forgot what it said specifically, but the meaning is the same..."
As he was speaking, one of the reporters interviewing him reminded him: "This is a moment of revenge."
"Oh, right, right!" Chang Sheng suddenly understood, pointing at the reporter who reminded him and nodding: "Yes, yes, that's it. It's really ridiculous. A year ago it was a moment of revenge, this year it has become an excellent moment.
Revenge. I just want to ask them, when will the performance of 'Revenge Success' be performed?"
Some reporters burst into laughter - not everyone likes AC Milan, not to mention that Berlusconi has also created many opponents for AC Milan.
"Yes, I haven't won at San Siro yet." After everyone had finished laughing, Chang Sheng nodded and said. "So I am very eager for this goal, which will make me full of fighting spirit and motivation. In fact, among my team's
There are many players who are very interested in this, I think this is our advantage. AC Milan? My team once defeated them 5:0 at home. I think I have a psychological advantage against them. That is really a
A match that makes people's hearts swell when they think about it... Of course, I will also happily recall how Valencia, which I led, surpassed AC Milan in the unbeaten record and became the top five unbeaten leagues in Europe.
The team..."
Since "Gazzetta dello Sport" wants to settle old scores, Chang Sheng definitely doesn't mind settling old scores. Anyway, AC Milan has a lot more black history than Chang Sheng.
"Aren't you worried that this will anger AC Milan? In my opinion, this is not a good idea." A reporter asked.
Chang Sheng shrugged and spread his hands: "Infuriated? Do you think AC Milan will let us go if I lower my posture and kneel down to beg for mercy? I have never been afraid of fighting. We are just going to defeat them. There is nothing we can't say.
I'm not really a good friend with them, so when I talk, I don't have to worry about the other person's mood at all."
Chang Sheng expressed his disdain for AC Milan.
※※※
This time AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi refused to make any comment on the winning streak.
The 0:5 loss to Valencia hit him hard.
Since that time, he has learned to behave himself. There are many media under his command, and it is not his turn to come forward in verbal disputes.
It would be too flattering to give him a big help every time for a small victory.
As a result, programs on Italy's Channel 5, TV 1 and TV 3 all criticized Chang Sheng, saying that his response was too outrageous and rude.
"AC Milan, as a century-old giant, is much better than Lazio. We believe that Chang Sheng lacks the necessary respect when facing AC Milan. This behavior will have a very bad impact on young people who love football..."
Chang Sheng's answer to this is: "It's really ridiculous. I take my opponents seriously but they are said to be rude and lack the necessary respect. The only way for me to respect my opponents is to go all out to defeat them in the game."
They, instead of kneeling down to worship them before the game. The media said that I will have a bad influence on teenagers? I hope I can let more teenagers know this - when you face a strong opponent
, what you have to do is not to kneel down and praise their greatness, which will make you lose the courage to resist. Instead, pick up your weapons and fight them to the end! This is my philosophy of life and football philosophy!"
※※※
The verbal spat did not delay Chang Sheng's formation and training of the team to prepare for the game against AC Milan.
Carlo Ancelotti's AC Milan will definitely play defensive counterattack at home, so he plans to maximize his offensive power in this game.
In addition to emphasizing offensive training in training, there are also three game skill slots, and the winning selections are all offensive skills.
[Basic Attack]: The offensive efficiency increases by 5% during the game.
[Short Pass Penetration]: Offensive skill, current level one, increases the team's passing success rate within 20 meters by 10% during the game, but will also reduce the team's success rate of medium and long passes exceeding 20 meters.
The accuracy is ten percent.
[Precision Strike]: Offensive skill, during the game, the chance of our players hitting the goal frame with a shot from 25 to 35 meters away from the goal is increased by 10%.
Without any defensive skills, Chang Sheng intends to use his most powerful offense to completely defeat the shield that AC Milan is proud of.
In fact, AC Milan's defense is not as good as before, although their central defender combination is the famous Maldini and Nesta.
But this defense line has seriously aged.
To win often, you need to use your team's youth and speed to break down their aging defense.
In fact, the tactical thinking is no different from the last time Valencia beat AC Milan 5-0 at home.
But at that time, winning relied on the speed of individual players.
But this time, he relied on the overall speed of the team. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
