"The team has had bad signs recently." At the weekly coaching staff meeting, everyone will share the training experience of the previous week, check for any omissions and make up for them, and then arrange the training plan for this week.
When any problem arises in the team, it is also the first to start discussing it in this meeting.
It was the team's assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez who first raised this question.
He is responsible for this.
Chang Sheng nodded: "I can see it too. The current voices in the media are very unfavorable to us. There are too many voices praising us. Some of the praises and praises are even nonsense. This is not a good thing."
Rudy Gonzalez continued his words: "This has affected the mentality of the players. Now our players seem to think that they have won the league championship. It is said that some players in the locker room have begun to discuss what if they win the championship.
How are they going to spend their championship winnings..."
Chang Sheng smiled - he was amused - the league had only started eleven rounds, and some players were starting to think about what would happen after the league ended.
Are they too confident in themselves or too confident in winning?
"This situation must be contained, otherwise the team's discipline is in danger of collapsing." Rudy Gonzalez made suggestions.
"But the problem is how to make the players realize that our situation is not as good as the media said?" Guardiola asked, spreading his hands. "We are indeed second in the league, we are indeed undefeated and performed very well... The media
It’s an exaggeration, but it’s also based on our performance...Facts are more convincing than words, how do we convince them?”
Guardiola's question plunged Chang Sheng's office into silence.
Everyone thinks this matter is very difficult. What Guardiola said makes sense. Our performance is obviously very good, and the players' confidence comes from this. How do we convince them to stay calm? Do we have to deny ourselves?
"Otherwise...if they lose a game, they will know what happened, right?" Spinosi, the former Lazio coach, put forward his own opinion.
Chang Sheng shook his head: "No, this is not good. We can obviously win, so why should we lose? And it is another thing to try our best and end up losing the game due to lack of strength and bad luck. It is completely different from losing on purpose. In the end
, If we lose the game on purpose, I think our opponents will be very happy to see this scene, and we cannot let them get what they want."
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, the locker room fell into silence again. If losing on purpose and creating artificial blows didn't work, then they really couldn't think of any good solution.
In the end, no one could come up with a better solution and had no choice but to let Chang Sheng give a "soul-cleansing" speech.
But even Chang Sheng himself didn't believe that if he just said a few words, the players would immediately abandon their arrogant thoughts and train hard.
This is different from the time of Getafe's bankruptcy crisis.
Now that Lazio's financial crisis has been alleviated, the team's performance is good, the players really have no sense of crisis, and a slap in the face is useless.
A wake-up call must be effective when the team is in trouble and at a loss. It is useless to say to a person who has no worries about food and clothing, "It will be too late if you don't work hard." People can't live like this if they don't work hard.
Well done, why work hard?
※※※
Chang Sheng was still thinking about this issue when he returned home.
But there is really no good way.
He made himself a cup of coffee and stood at the window looking outside.
He has moved out of the apartment he rented when he coached Roma.
The place where he lives now is a wealthy area in Rome. They are all small single-family villas with milky white or orange exterior walls. The windowsills are basically equipped with rose pots, but there are no Changsheng windows, because most of the windowsills are equipped with rose pots.
At that time, Chang Sheng was alone at home. Chang Sheng was too busy with his own affairs, so how could he still have time to take care of flowers and plants?
There are lawns in front of and behind every villa, and the walls are covered with lush green vines.
The environment is very good.
Someone is fighting dogs on the lawn across the street, throwing a Frisbee, and then the dog will run out, chase the Frisbee, and finally bring the Frisbee back to the owner. The owner pats its head appreciatively and feeds it. From then on.
It can be seen from the dog's wagging tail that it is happy.
One person and one dog are having a great time.
Rome is a city with many dogs. People here like to keep dogs. Most of the neighbors around Chang Sheng feed their dogs. When you go out, you can often see people jogging along the roadside with their dogs.
Chang Sheng's eyes were attracted by a man and a dog playing, and he temporarily forgot about the problem he was worrying about.
The dog appears to be very obedient under the command of its owner, and will do whatever the owner tells it to do.
After playing the Frisbee game, the owner asked the dog to sit down, lie down, and circle...
When the owner gives every command, the dog will follow the owner's instructions.
Chang Sheng watched with great interest.
Then suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.
He put down his coffee cup, then took out his cell phone and dialed Chairman Lotito's number.
"Mr. Chairman, do you know any dog trainers or animal trainers?"
※※※
Lotito actually knows a good dog trainer, because his family also raises dogs, and in order to make the dogs obedient, he has a relationship with the dog trainer.
He introduced Chang Sheng to a dog trainer with whom he had a good relationship.
Antonio Luciano.
A thirty-five-year-old dog trainer.
Rich experience and first-class skills.
The dogs he trained have won awards in international competitions.
Lotito spoke highly of Luciano: "The dogs he trained are just like humans, obedient and smart!"
The first time the two met was at Luciano's dog training ground.
Here, Chang Sheng saw more than a hundred dogs of various sizes, but most of them were large working dogs.
"We cooperate with the Rome Police Department here and train various working dogs for them every year..." Luciano took Chang Sheng to visit his dog training ground and introduced it at the same time. There was pride in his tone.
Chang Sheng has little research on dogs and has little interest in them. He doesn’t keep pets, but now he needs dogs to help him, so he patiently listened to Luciano’s proud introduction.
After Luciano introduced his dog training ground to Chang Sheng, he remembered that he was looking for him for a serious matter, so he asked: "I wonder what kind of help you need from me, Mr. Chang?"
Chang Sheng organized the words and thought about how he should explain this matter to Luciano.
He felt that anyone with a normal IQ would probably be surprised after hearing what he said next...
Sure enough, when he finished speaking, Luciano stared at Chang Sheng with wide eyes. He seemed to be staring at a monster.
Seeing him like this, Chang Sheng automatically ignored the other person's eyes, and then asked: "Can you do this?"
"Are you really not going to tie the chain?" Luciano asked.
Chang Sheng shook his head: "Don't tie it up. That way they won't be afraid."
"Uh..." Luciano looked hesitant.
"It seems like it can't be done?" Chang Sheng was a little disappointed.
But Luciano nodded: "If there are other dogs, I'm not sure. But my 'Blue Eagle' should be fine. It is a very obedient Doberman."
He said this very proudly, which was in sharp contrast to his previous hesitant tone.
Chang Sheng did not expect that when everything was at an end, things would suddenly become clear.
He extended his hand to Luciano: "Then on behalf of the Lazio team, thank you, Mr. Luciano, you have done us a big favor!"
"You're welcome, Mr. Chang. I am a friend of Mr. Lotito and a Lazio fan. I feel honored and happy to be able to contribute to the team I support."
The two people's hands were tightly held together.

At the beginning of a new day of training, the players changed their clothes and came out of the locker room one after another. Because it was the national team match day, their topic was naturally inseparable from the national team match. Most of these players were young people.
They may have experience in youth-level national team competitions, but the adult national team is still new to them.
Being selected for the national team is an honor they dream of.
This season, as Lazio performed well in the league, many players began to dream that through their outstanding performance in Lazio, they would eventually attract the attention of the national team coach, be promoted to the national team, and then officially start their glorious international career.
career.
In the future, on national team game days, they will finally be able to participate in the game in person instead of watching with envy in front of the TV like they do now.
Then it may be others' turn to envy them.
When the players walked into the training ground chatting happily with each other, they were startled by a barking dog.
A dark-furred, majestic Doberman stood at the side of the training ground, barking at every player who came to the training ground!
The dog-loving player exclaimed in surprise and wanted to come up to tease the beautiful dog, but was frightened back by a bark from the opponent.
Then everyone realized, why are there dogs on the training ground?
Their head coach doesn't own a dog, so where did this dog come from?
The black Doberman pinscher stood at the edge of the training ground, staring at the players on the opposite side and barking.
Everyone was horrified to find that this dog... was not chained! It was just standing on the sidelines, no one could restrain it, and it could rush up and bite the players at any time.
Its barks seemed to remind the players that this is my territory!
At this time, someone on the coaching staff shouted, and Doberman suddenly became more honest. Of course, this honesty is relative, it just stopped barking. In fact, it still stared at the players and growled.
Looking at its sharp teeth, some players suddenly felt pain in their legs - if they were bitten by it on the leg, they would probably end the season, right?
Everyone finally felt scared, and some players who were timid or afraid of dogs simply hid behind other teammates.
Fortunately, Doberman didn't mean to pounce. He just stood in his own territory, grinning and growling at the players. He glanced to the left and then to the right. He seemed to enjoy the fear of these players. Fear of its expression.
At this time, Chang Sheng's voice sounded: "Okay, don't be afraid, guys. Come, let me introduce to you your new coach, Obinna Blue Eagle."
Chang Sheng appeared behind the dog and pointed at the Doberman on the ground.
