Chapter 121 The ambition to win (seeking the moon)
Benzema was injured in two national team games.
In the first national team game, he was replaced early due to injury.
At that time, Chang Sheng called him as soon as possible to inquire about his injury.
Benzema told himself it was nothing serious.
But Chang Sheng still suggested that he not play in the next national team game.
As a result, the French team's head coach Domenech still put Benzema in the starting lineup for the second game.
This time it was even worse. Benzema only played 30 minutes of the game before being replaced early due to injury and unable to continue the game.
This made Chang Sheng, who saw this scene in front of the TV, very angry.
Benzema is the main right winger in his lineup.
His importance to the team is self-evident.
In his own club, Chang Sheng is cautious when using Benzema, fearing that the young genius will get injured.
As a result, the player he was caring for was treated roughly by Domenech, resulting in injuries.
Chang Sheng cannot tolerate this kind of thing happening. If he doesn't teach Domenech a lesson, how can he suppress other national team coaches who are ready to make moves in the future?
As a club head coach, you should be on the same level as the national team head coach. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
Before the game was over, when Benzema was replaced, Chang Sheng published some strong remarks on his website.
"That idiot Domenech! Benzema was injured in the first game, why is he still in the starting lineup? It's fine now! Congratulations, you successfully broke my players!"
After the game, Chang Sheng said: "The French team defeated the Faroe Islands 5:0, which was really impressive! But I want to ask Mr. Domenech, when playing a team like the Faroe Islands, is it necessary to let the previous game go?
Will the injured player start the game? I believe that without Benzema, the French team can easily defeat the Faroe Islands. Forgive me for being stupid, I don’t see any need to let my players start.
Then he left the field injured!"
As the birthplace of many of Chang Sheng’s remarks and quotations, Chang Sheng’s personal website has attracted much attention because it is full of Chang Sheng’s strong personal style. Many reporters even stayed on Chang Sheng’s personal website to capture what Chang Sheng had to say.
Every message sent, and then combined, becomes a news report.
So these two messages from Chang Sheng quickly appeared in the mainstream media.
This matter aroused everyone's interest, because Chang Sheng had never had a conflict with the national team coach because of players getting injured while participating in national team games. Even in his last season in Valencia, many players suffered injuries due to injuries.
When the national team was injured during a match and faced a wave of injuries, Chang Sheng never had any conflicts with the national team's head coach.
This was the first time he fired at Domenech.
So the media are particularly interested.
A reporter went to interview Domenech to see what his opinion was on Chang Sheng's statement.
Domenech pouted: "He has his own opinions to express, and I can't stop him."
"So why did Benzema, who was already injured, play in the game against the Faroe Islands?" reporters asked.
Domenech: "He was only slightly injured in the last game. For insurance reasons, I let him come down. Let him start because he meets the requirements for a starter."
Domenech subsequently refused to answer questions about Benzema.
※※※
Chang Sheng couldn't bear to argue with Domenech on his website.
He is only concerned about Benzema's injury now.
Benzema returned to Italy after the game, and the Lazio club conducted a detailed examination of him.
The final result made Chang Sheng relieved. It was not a serious injury. It was just a mild muscle strain. He only needed to rest for a month.
So Chang Sheng said in an interview that he would spare Domenech for now. If Benzema is seriously injured, he will definitely never be done with Domenech!
Domenech immediately acted like a turtle. He knew that Chang Sheng had a strong mouth, so he very wisely did not spit at each other.
Although he is considered a first-class hard-liner in French football, he feels that he is still a human being and always wins?
Chang Sheng is a mad dog, whoever is targeted by him will be unlucky.

The controversy about Benzema's injury during the national team match has just passed.
After Benzema is injured, his position will be replaced by Cazorla. Although Cazorla played in the midfield at Villarreal, under Chang Sheng's hands, everyone must be versatile and adaptable to many situations.
This position is an almost essential quality.
Even the goalkeeper must be able to play sweeper - this is not an exaggeration. Under the training of Chang Sheng, Handanovic's control range is getting wider and wider, not only the entire penalty area, but even outside the penalty area.
The area he can control.
The mad dog tactic requires the goalkeeper to have a large range of movement, so those goalkeepers who are good at goal line skills, but don't like to attack and have limited control range, no matter how good they are and always win, should not be used.
This is why Valdez's goalkeeper with buttery hands and a strong wind can play the main role in Barcelona. Because of his large range of control, he can even be used directly as a sweeper in many cases.
The disadvantage of Cazorla playing as a winger is that he is not very fast. Therefore, tactically, some adjustments must be made in order to win.
For example, the position of right winger still requires speed, but not the speed of dribbling the ball, but relying on passing and running to maintain speed.
Chang Sheng believes Cazorla can do this.

The first game after the national team match day is the sixth round of the league. Lazio plays Cagliari at home. This is the last game of this league round.
Before that, all other teams' games have been played, and the latest rankings in the standings have also appeared.
Roma, which had four wins and one loss before, lost another game in this game.
Inter Milan won the game and temporarily topped the list with four wins, two draws and 14 points.
As Chang Sheng knows, without him at Lazio, this season should be about Inter Milan's rise.
But now...
I can only say sorry to Moratti.
In the last game of this league, Lazio defeated Cagliari 2-0 at home and continued their unbeaten streak.
With five wins, one draw and 16 points, Inter Milan is two points ahead and back to the top of the list.
Next up is the second game of the Champions League group stage.
Lazio faces Olympiacos away from home.
Although it is an away game, because the strength gap between the two sides is too big, this game has little suspense for Lazio. Therefore, Chang Sheng did not send all the main players to the away game because the players who played the national team game need to rest.
This time, except for goalkeeper Handanovic and center backs Jose Passarella and Modric, he basically used a non-national lineup.
In this game, Lazio showed that their non-international lineup is also very strong.
Goalkeeper Handanovic, center backs Jose Passarella, Campagnaro, left back Coentrao, right back Abate. Midfielders are Khedira, Ledesma and Modric.
The forwards are Falcao, Cazorla and Rocky - Benzema's injury has left Chang Sheng with almost no substitutes on the front line.
With such a lineup, Lazio defeated Olympiacos 2:0 in the away game.
After the game, Chang Sheng strongly praised the players' performance.
It's not because of how wonderful they played in this game, nor how crucial the victory of this game is.
Quite simply, the performance of the substitute lineup made Chang Sheng pleased with the team's ability to fight on multiple fronts.
Although they can still only focus on one side, Lazio will always fight on multiple fronts in the future and blossom in all directions. This is the ambition to win.
It is not easy for some coaches to win a Triple Crown in their coaching career, but Chang Sheng doesn't think so. He has already won a Triple Crown, but he still wants to win more Triple Crowns.
The Triple Crown is the supreme pursuit of a head coach.
What's the big deal about leading the team to win a championship? If you put all your efforts into one front, with the strength of the giants, it's easy to win the championship.
But it is not easy to win three championships of sufficient importance in the same season.
Ferguson is known as the greatest manager in the history of the Premier League. How many times did he lead the team to win the Triple Crown?
once.
Until he retired, it was just once.
Why can Mourinho be called the most powerful head coach in today's football? It's simple. He led two different teams to complete the Triple Crown, once in Porto and once in Inter Milan. Of course,
Porto was a small "Triple Crown" because it was the UEFA Cup, not the Champions League. But he completed the real Triple Crown at Inter Milan.
Guardiola became famous as the head coach of Barcelona because he won the Triple Crown in his first season in charge.
Even if a wealthy team can complete the Triple Crown, that is amazing.
Because winning the Triple Crown requires not only strength, but also luck.
You must know that since the professionalization of European football, as of the 2006-2007 season, only five teams in all national leagues have claimed this honor.
In 1967, after defeating Inter Milan 2:1 in the European Champions Cup final, Scotland's Celtic became the first club team in history to win the "Triple Crown".
In 1972, Ajax from the Netherlands also competed with Inter Milan in the European Champions Cup final. Cruyff's brace helped the team beat their opponent 2:0.
Achieved the most glorious "Triple Crown" in its history.
In 1988, after Ajax, PSV, also from the Netherlands, became the third team in history to win the "Triple Crown". PSV won the European Champions Cup final after overtime.
The team defeated Portugal's Benfica 6:5 in a penalty shootout, and after winning the league and Dutch Cup double championships, they once again dominated the European arena.
In 1999, Manchester United from England reversed Bayern Munich 2:1 and won the UEFA Champions League with two goals from Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in three minutes of stoppage time. In addition to the previous Premier League champions and England
The FA Cup champion became the first team in the history of English football to win the "Treble Crown" honor.
Then in 2004, Valencia, led by the winning team, defeated Mourinho's Porto in the Champions League final and became the first "Triple Crown" in the history of Spanish football - this honor should have belonged to Guardio
The "Dream Team Three".
Chang Sheng has already completed a Triple Crown in Valencia, and he will win more Triple Crowns.
Because he has an ambition.
At first, his dream was to become a professional football coach. Later, this dream evolved into becoming one of the top coaches. Now this dream has become to remove the "one" and become the unique, most successful, greatest, and top head coach.
In order to achieve this goal, he must develop a lineup that can adapt to fighting on three fronts at the same time.
In Olympiacos, Chang Sheng saw this clue.
He was very pleased.
※※※
After the away game against Olympiacos, the next Champions League group match will not be played until October 31.
There are three league rounds in between.
They were away games against Catania.
Away to Sampdoria.
And at home against Regina.
These are also the last three league games in October.
The main lineup got sufficient rest, and Lazio, who was recharged, defeated the newly promoted team Catania 3:1 in the away game.
However, Lazio was careless and lost 0:2 to Sampdoria in the away game. This was their first defeat of the season.
After Lazio lost the game, the entire Italian media reported on it, and there were many people who were gloating about it.
Chang Sheng ignored it and responded with a 4:1 home victory over Regina. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
