Chapter 203 Psychological Counseling Class (13/21)
That night, sports programs across Europe reported Chang Sheng's participation in the pre-match press conference.
"When a reporter got up and asked him about Falcao's transfer..."
"...Chang stared at the reporter without saying a word. The two stared at each other for a full minute, until the first reporter continued on his own..."
"Next, the protagonist of this press conference strangely became Chelsea's press officer. He and the reporters had a confrontation on the spot..."
"Reporters ignored his repeated reminders to 'only ask questions related to the game' and insisted on asking Chang Sheng about Falcao's transfer..."
"The press officer finally couldn't bear it anymore and announced the end of the press conference at five minutes! So five minutes...from sitting down to leaving, there were only five minutes in total. He only said three sentences in total, one of which was 'Goodbye'
'..."
"...The above is the entire content of the pre-match press conference for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Lazio and Chelsea..."
"Some media said that UEFA would punish Chang Sheng because Chang Sheng did not cooperate... But soon UEFA's official spokesperson denied this rumor. They said that this was a dispute between Chelsea Club's press officer and reporters.
...In fact, at the press conference, the head coach has the right to answer questions that have nothing to do with the game..."
No matter how you change the channel, as long as it is a sports program, it will definitely be talking about this matter.
Some media named this press conference "the most inexplicable press conference in history" because Chang Sheng originally made it clear that he wanted to have a cold war with the reporters, and the reporters also set up their posture to prevent Chang Sheng from coming to Taiwan... In the end
How did it turn into a battle between Chelsea FC’s press officer and reporters?
Some media believed that Chang Sheng's reaction showed that he was very anxious about Falcao's transfer. He refused to answer because he lacked confidence and didn't know how to answer...
This shows that Lazio is already in chaos internally.
Many media outlets relied on this kind of specious analysis to achieve climax. They were so excited about their own public opinion position.
※※※
While the media was discussing the matter, Chang Sheng took his players to a pre-match tactical meeting in the hotel conference room.
It's said to be a tactical meeting, but it's actually a psychological counseling session.
Because before this, everyone knew that their teammate Falcao was going to transfer to Barcelona, and he was going in Lazio's way of selling people for a record price.
It is inevitable that everyone will have some thoughts in their mind.
Chang Sheng planned to have a frank and honest talk with them.
Although his team is young, there are no minors under the age of 18 in the first team. Everyone is an adult. What can't be said and understood?
Chang Sheng sat on the far left of the circular table, and the players and coaches lined up from his left and right hands down to the far right, forming a ring.
"Everyone knows something." Chang Sheng began his psychological counseling session. "This matter is Falcao's transfer. To me, this is a very common thing, but now outside
It made a big fuss. I know why they did this, but I will tell you the answer later. Let me talk about our own affairs now."
Chang Sheng changed his posture, resting his elbows on the table and crossing his hands on his chin.
"I know that many of you have your own thoughts on this matter. That is your freedom, and I do not intend to get to the bottom of it. But there is a premise, that is, it must not affect the team's normal preparations and games. You can put it
Keep your thoughts in your own hearts, but if I do something that undermines the unity of the team, I will let you know why I was called a 'tyrant' by them."
"Now, let's talk frankly about this issue. I don't want to put any pressure on you. If by the end of the season you feel that you have no goals to pursue at Lazio, you can leave the team. I will not let it happen.
Retain anyone. You have to pursue your goals, and I also have mine. My goal is to make Lazio a real giant. My goal is to create a real dynasty in Italian and European football. Remember
What did the media say after we won the league? They couldn't wait to put the 'dynasty' hat on our heads. But don't be too happy. For me, we only won two consecutive league championships.
This is just the beginning. If any of you have the same goals as me, I welcome you to stay."
"Of course, I know that the club's current financial problems cannot meet the salary requirements of many of you... I have no intention of asking you to stay and get a salary that is not consistent with your performance. If any of you want to stay, don't be in a hurry.
Tell me, please think carefully about your choice for a summer before telling me about your choice. I will not hold this against any of you. If any of you are willing to stay, I welcome him and welcome to create an era with me. I have this
Confidence because I do what I say!”
"I know that no matter how much I say, there will be people leaving this summer, and there will be no less. The outside media is actually right. After this summer, Lazio will fall apart. This is what any team that has reached its peak will leave.
The only way to go. No one can violate this natural law. So in fact, this is the last chance for you people to get together and play football. Cherish this opportunity, guys. Many of you are coming to
When you were at Lazio, you were still an unknown player, but now you can be the main player in any team on the planet."
"Don't let this time leave a regretful ending. Go all out and come back with a Champions League championship. For yourselves and for your teammates."
"Dismissed now, I look forward to the good news that we will advance to the finals tomorrow!" After saying that, Chang Sheng waved his hand and dismissed the meeting!

When Chang Sheng returned to his room, not long after, there was a knock on his door. When he opened the door, there were two people, Jose Passarella and Pavin, standing outside.
The two of them opened their mouths when they saw Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng stretched out his hand to stop them.
"I said, wait until you finish your vacation before making a choice. Now, I just want you to play well, finish the Champions League semi-finals, and then finish the Champions League final. No matter who our opponent is, come back with a championship in the end.
.So go back and rest now.”
After speaking, Chang Sheng waved to them, turned back to the house, and closed the door.
Jose Passarella and Pavin looked at each other outside the door. It seemed that the boss was telling the truth...
In this case, we really can only wait until we come back from vacation.
But the two of them firmly believed that they would not change their minds.
After Chang Sheng gave them a new life, they had already decided to follow their boss. Wherever the boss went, they would follow him, and they would do whatever the boss asked them to do, without any hesitation!
※※※
Because the press officer came out to help Chang Sheng attract hatred, Chang Sheng was not really punished by UEFA. He can appear in the game against Chelsea as usual.
This makes Chelsea head coach Grant a bit regretful.
If Chang Sheng can be suspended, I believe Chelsea will have a better chance of advancing.
However, being suspended for a long time victory is an unexpected blessing. If not, don’t force it. What really makes Grant happy is that the Italian media exposed the news of Falcao’s transfer in advance, giving Lazio a fatal blow. Now Lazio’s extreme fans
The "Incorrigible Faction" are still protesting at the gate of club president Lotito's courtyard. With internal and external troubles, Lazio is in a complete mess, blocked at both ends.
This incident will definitely have a great impact on the morale of the Lazio team.
This is Chelsea's chance.
A gap of three goals... Under the influence of so many favorable conditions, maybe I can really create a miracle?
Grant began to look forward to the moment when the game ended and the scoreboard showed 4:0, and the whole Stamford Bridge cheered.
That must be an unforgettable scene in my coaching career...
Grant seemed to be convinced that Lazio would underestimate the enemy and have no intention of fighting.
The whole team definitely wants to return to Italy as soon as possible, from the coach to the players.
Chelsea, a team like this, will definitely be able to defeat them with the cheers of their home fans and complete an epic reversal!

Before the game was about to start, Chang Sheng stopped Falcao who was about to play.
"I know you're still a little confused, Romedal. But you have to score in this game."
"Must?" Falcao was a little surprised. The boss would never say to a player, "You must score in this game." Who knows if he can score? How can this be done if he has to?
But Chang Sheng nodded: "Yes, you have to score. If you don't want to get yourself into trouble... Now the fans are protesting Lotito for selling you, but some fans are also dissatisfied with you leaving Lazio.
... You have the right to choose to stay or leave, I know. But some people don't see it that way, and fanatical fans have no reason to argue. You have to convince them with your own performance. There is nothing better than scoring goals.
When you score, the controversy surrounding you will disappear. The pressure will only be transferred to Lotito and me, but you don't have to worry about it. Use goals to tell those Lazio fans that even if you leave,
I leave with a clear conscience!"
Falcao was stunned for a moment. After digesting what Chang Sheng said, he nodded: "I know what to do, boss. Thank you!" After saying that, he bowed slightly towards Chang Sheng,
He felt that this should be an Eastern etiquette to show respect.
Chang Sheng waved his hand: "Go ahead and get ready to play."
Falcao thanked him again and turned to leave.
Chang Sheng looked at Falcao's back and smiled.
A hungry tiger was put down on the field, Grant, are you ready? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
