Chapter 196 How can you underestimate the enemy? (6/21)
At the end of the night, the Italian media was excited again.
In their eyes, Lazio has advanced to the final.
Rome TV simply announced that Lazio was the first team to reach the final.
The guests invited by the TV station were talking loudly.
Tell everyone why Lazio can advance to the final.
They analyze it from all angles.
Some people say it's because the head coach leads the team well, while others say it's because the players are talented.
Some people say that time is also destiny...
Anyway, they are basically praising Lazio.
"Chang's excellent coaching ability is the key to Lazio's rapid rise... Think about what Lazio was like three seasons ago, and then look at Lazio now. We have to admit that Chang has brought new life to this team. He
He seems to be particularly good at doing this kind of thing. Whether in Getafe or Valencia, he has brought rebirth to the coaching team..."
Breno Pacheco angrily turned off the television and threw away the remote control.
"I **** don't admit it!" he yelled at the turned-off TV screen.
Lazio defeated Chelsea 3-0 at home and entered the Luzhniki Stadium with one leg.
There are many people who are unhappy with this result. Pacheco is one of the representatives.
He wishes Lazio bad luck and bad luck to win.
As a result, he worked hard for half a season, and apart from some minor setbacks, Lazio did not suffer any injuries.
It's like I'm going against him, but it's getting better and better.
In the league, with four league rounds left, Lazio is ten points ahead of second place Inter Milan... What is that concept?
That means that as long as Lazio wins another league round, they will win the championship three rounds in advance!
In the Champions League, the inexperienced Lazio made it all the way to the semi-finals, and defeated Chelsea with three goals in the first leg of the semi-finals. Half of their body was in the final...
This was completely different from what he had originally expected.
He was unwilling to do so.
He was particularly unwilling.
He didn't believe that he could only watch the arrogant person continue to be arrogant...
He remembered that someone had seen Falcao's agent appear in Barcelona and wondered what happened to Falcao's transfer... He took out his mobile phone and contacted his reporter friend at "World Sports News"
, I hope they can help you find out information about this matter.
※※※
Neither Barcelona nor Lazio have announced Falcao's transfer.
This was the agreement written in the contract between the two parties.
That means we will never announce this transfer deal until the end of the season.
Although Laporta hopes to announce this exciting result immediately.
But Lazio didn't allow it.
Because Lazio is now at a critical stage.
They are competing for the Champions League.
At this time, if the news of Falcao's transfer is announced, it will definitely attract the attention of the media and arouse the backlash of the fans, thus affecting the team's preparations and game status.
Chang Sheng does not want to lose the Champions League title because of this matter, otherwise he would rather not earn the 50 million euros.
Therefore, in the contract between the two parties, there is such a clause: Barcelona Club is not allowed to announce the transfer of Falcao before the end of the season without the unification of Lazio Club.
Therefore, the media are still enthusiastic about Falcao's outstanding performance, which may allow him to win the favor of more teams or earn a larger contract...
Lazio fans launched a petition campaign in the hope that Falcao can stay.
When Falcao was interviewed by reporters, he kept silent about his future whereabouts.
Apparently his agent Claudio Mosio gave him a gag order and explained it to him.
How much trouble it would cause him if he was exposed in advance.
The flow of player transfers is normal, but when he gains the love of enough fans, the problem becomes complicated.
Most fans are simple, even..."irrational".
In their view, Lazio's lack of ambition in selling players every year, and Lotito is a stingy president.
As for the issue of using the money earned from selling players to help the club pay off its debts, they don't care.
They hope that the chairman of their club will have endless wealth, and when the club is short of money, he will take it out of his own wallet. At the same time, he must love his club so much that he will not play it no matter how much money he pays.
A stumbling block... If a time limit must be added to this, they hope it is... ten thousand years!
This is the "good chairman" in the minds of fans.
But such a chairman does not exist, it only exists deep in their minds and dreams.
Moratti, the club president who loves Inter Milan so much, will sometimes be unable to come up with the money to buy the players Inter Milan likes, and there will also be times when he sells Inter Milan club shares to Indonesian businessmen...
Berlusconi brought AC Milan glory in the early years and created the Milan dynasty. Now he is thinking about how to sell AC Milan all day long.
This is reality, but unfortunately most fans cannot see the reality.

The day after the game, Chang Sheng did not give the team a day off, but trained normally. Logically speaking, he should have taken a day off, even if it was only half a day.
After all, it is already the end of the season, and everyone's physical fitness is not as good as before.
In addition, there is no team in the league that can threaten Lazio, so Lazio can do whatever they want.
So even if I miss one day of training, it doesn’t matter.
However, Chang Sheng uncharacteristically required the players to continue training the day after the game.
Every player was puzzled. When they came to the locker room to change clothes, everyone was still complaining that the boss would not let them rest.
They completed a beautiful game...
Jose Passarella looked on with cold eyes.
Although he doesn't know as much as his boss, he knows very well that the atmosphere within this team is indeed different from before...
In the past, whatever the boss said was what he said, and no one in the locker room would talk so much nonsense.
Now, that kind of cohesion is really declining. If it weren't for the goal of a Champions League championship hanging in front of them, I'm afraid many people would have rebelled long ago... With the second lowest standard in Serie A after Udinese
The salary and training intensity are among the best...
I just hope that everyone can work together to win their most important championship before they fall apart!

Before the training started, facing the puzzled players, Chang Sheng said to them: "Before starting today's training, let me tell you a story. In the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals of the 2003-2004 season,
Valencia lost to AC Milan in the first round away game, which can even be said to be a disastrous defeat. The score of 1:4 made people not believe that they could advance. But guess what happened in the end?"
Chang Sheng asked everyone seriously.
Everyone knows the answer to this question. Because that game is so famous...
This is Chang Sheng's masterpiece in the Champions League.
Although Chang Sheng had already led Valencia to the Champions League for a season before that, that game really made him famous in Europe.
A week later, Valencia led by him defeated AC Milan 5:0 at home, eliminating the then defending Champions League champion with a total score of 6:4.
"Later, Valencia reversed AC Milan. I think everyone knows and heard about this game. But I think you may not know the story behind it. Do you know why Valencia was able to reverse AC Milan?
From the perspective of strength gap, Valencia is not AC Milan's opponent. But in fact, Valencia reversed AC Milan. If someone thinks it is a coincidence, then such a person will only be able to win by coincidence in his life. Facts
Valencia tried their best, but at the same time AC Milan's pride and underestimation also helped Valencia a lot."
"At that time, AC Milan did not think that Valencia might reverse them at home, so they were not fully prepared. Everyone's mind was not on this game. This created strong conditions for Valencia's reversal.
Now, look, how similar the situation is to that game?"
"Chelsea lost three goals away from home, and the media was full of news that Lazio will enter the final. Even the media in London are not optimistic about Chelsea. Even ourselves, I am afraid we think we will enter the final. But be careful,
Guys, if you are thinking about the final from now on, I bet it will be Chelsea who go to the final!"
"That's why I want you to continue training today. I don't want you to be arrogant and underestimate the opponent because of the victory in the first round. My team once used the opponent's pride to underestimate the opponent and beat them. I don't want my team to one day
Let the opponent use the method I used to eliminate us! So, today is still a normal training. Everyone must cheer up for me, don’t think you have entered the finals! It’s still very early!”
"Now, let's all warm up!"
Rudy Gonzalez stood up and blew the whistle. After the harsh whistle, the Lazio assistant coach shouted: "Your boss is right! Pride and underestimation are our biggest enemies! If you want
If you become the laughing stock of the whole world in a week, you can be lazy now! I won’t stop you, because I also like to laugh at idiots!”
Now everyone knows how impossible it is for Grant to rely on Lazio's pride and underestimate the enemy to reverse and eliminate Lazio at home...
How could such a thing like losing an important match because of pride and underestimating the enemy happen to a person who has always won?
He has come from the future, and he has accumulated many experiences from his predecessors. These experiences are always reminding him not to take the wrong path taken by his predecessors.
In addition, with his cautious style, how could he underestimate the enemy?
If Chelsea thought he would underestimate their opponent, he wouldn't mind surprising Grant and his friends at Stamford Bridge in the second round! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
