Since Chang Sheng became a professional coach, he has never competed with Sir Alex Ferguson.
The greatest and most successful head coach in today's football is an idol in the hearts of countless people.
Chang Sheng always liked coaches, and Ferguson was one of his idols.
But at that time, he could only compete with the virtual Ferguson in the game.
Now he can play real FM and compete with the real Ferguson.
They have already had a confrontation before the game started.
Before the game started, Ferguson hid among a crowd of media and launched a psychological warfare offensive against Lazio.
However, this offensive was easily resolved by Chang Sheng.
After that, both sides became quiet, but that didn't mean there wouldn't be any fighting between the two.
Ferguson is famous in English football for being good at using psychological warfare to attack opponents. During his more than 20 years of coaching Manchester United, many famous coaches fell under his spit.
He also enjoys this process.
But now there are fewer and fewer people in England who can stand happily with him.
After Arsenal completely degenerated and failed to win a championship for many years, Ferguson was no longer interested in "humiliating each other" with Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger.
As for Liverpool, Manchester United's mortal enemy, Ferguson didn't bother to fight with their head coach.
However, Chelsea's head coach Mourinho has been here for the past three years, making Ferguson feel that he is still young again...
Unfortunately, Mourinho left soon.
As a result, we rarely see his remarks against other team coaches in the media.
Now in the Champions League final, he has met a regular winner.
Old fox versus little mad dog.
That's really the point of comparison.
For Ferguson, anything can be used for psychological warfare to put pressure on opponents.
For example, something as simple as arriving in Moscow turned into an opportunity for psychological warfare in the hands of Ferguson.
Because Manchester United arrived in Moscow three hours earlier than Lazio.
At Moscow's Domodedov Airport, Ferguson told reporters: "We came earlier than them? Ha, that's good, we are already ahead of Lazio!"
Three hours later, when Chang Sheng led Lazio to Domodedov Airport, reporters came up to spread the news.
"Ferguson said they had a head start because they arrived before you..."
This was no ordinary joke. Chang Sheng knew that this was Ferguson's psychological warfare.
So he answered with a smile: "There is a saying in China. 'It is better to come early than to come at the right time.' It means that it is useless to come early but not at the right time. Can someone tell me this sentence?
Mr. Ferguson, I am very happy to teach him a Chinese proverb."

The confrontation between the two people did not stop there, but continued.
At the pre-match press conference, the two men went head-to-head.
When talking about this game, Ferguson said that Manchester United has an advantage because we have rich experience.
"We have players in the team who participated in the 1999 Champions League final. They are valuable assets for us. They will pass their experience to their teammates, the young people. This is the legacy. And Lazio,
What do they have? They don’t have a player in their squad who has played in a Champions League final..."
An Italian reporter raised his hand and asked: "But Lazio's performance in Serie A is dominant..."
Ferguson smiled and said: "This just explains why the Italian League is no longer the first league in Europe. Even teams like Lazio can dominate in Italy." He shrugged.
The disdain is very obvious.
※※※
Chang Sheng's first reaction after hearing Ferguson's words was that he was unhappy.
But he arrived quickly. This should be Ferguson's psychological warfare tactic.
He wants to irritate himself and the team and cause the team to perform abnormally in the game.
Anger sometimes does not equal motivation, but can destroy a successful team.
Ferguson expressed his disdain for Lazio in an experienced tone, which is more convincing. It will not make people think otherwise.
So I almost got fooled.
If he gets angry and then curses Ferguson from a distance at a press conference, it will definitely affect his team.
They will lose their correct judgment because they lose their composure.
At this time, Ferguson would hide in the corner and sneer, watching his team fall into chaos.
So the best way is not to angrily accuse Ferguson of looking down on people, but...
Chang Sheng woke up after a brief period of trance and looked at the reporters below.
He knew that those reporters wanted him to quarrel with Ferguson, which would be a gimmick and make money.
But he didn't intend to do that.
Chang Sheng smiled slightly.
"Ferguson said it right. No one in our team has experience in the Champions League final. But because of this, we have enough motivation to face this game. The road is made, and so is the experience. We won a championship
, we have experience, there is nothing superior about it.”
Chang Sheng's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, but at the same time he did not lose his cool.
This surprised the reporters present.
They felt that with a mad dog personality like Chang Sheng, he would definitely use all his insults to deal with Ferguson.
I didn’t expect that he didn’t say any evil words!
This is really...
It makes people feel like the sun is coming out from the west.
※※※
That night, when Ferguson saw the video of the press conference on TV, he squinted his eyes and smacked his lips.
This constant victory is difficult to deal with...
I tried to provoke him over and over again, but he just wouldn't be fooled... Didn't the media say that he was a hot-tempered and irritable young man? He could easily get carried away.
But how come he behaves normally in front of himself, with no weaknesses to exploit at all.
Or is it that he is pretending, and that he is actually irritated by himself, but he just doesn't want himself to know?
If this is the reason, it would be easy to handle.
As long as Chang Sheng is angry, there will always be a loophole to exploit.
Ferguson got up and turned off the television.
Getting ready to hold a tactical meeting for the team.
※※※
At the same time, in another hotel, Lazio's tactical meeting was almost over, so Chang Sheng didn't see the video of the post-match press conference at all.
In today's tactical meeting, Chang Sheng focused on the question "If it rains tomorrow and the rain is not light, what should we do?"
The players all found it strange - the sun was shining brightly today, and the weather forecast didn't say it would rain tomorrow. Why did the boss suddenly say this?
Chang Sheng could see the doubtful looks in these players' eyes.
But he couldn't explain it to them.
There's no way he could say that he knew it would rain in tomorrow's game because he came from time travel.
In that case, without Ferguson's psychological tactics, Lazio would have been in chaos - who would want to play under such an unreliable head coach?
Therefore, Chang Sheng could only explain to the players: "This is a situation that may arise. Isn't the purpose of preparing for the game to be on guard against various possible situations?"
Then he started talking nonsense.
In fact, the key point is to try as few direct passes as possible, because the turf is slippery, and the football will roll faster on the turf, making it difficult to control. If you pass the ball through, you will make more mistakes. This will lead to easily losing possession of the ball and handing the football to the opponent.
.
And he speculated that Manchester United would simplify their playing style and use more high-altitude balls to bomb. Therefore, they should try to give up possession of the ball as little as possible.
At the same time, it is necessary to increase long-range shots. On rainy days, the football will become heavier after being stained with water, and the force will be greater. In addition, there is water on the ball, making it slippery, making it easier for the goalkeeper to release it.
At this time, the forwards must pay special attention to the second landing point.
If the opponent's goalkeeper takes a shot, he must run to the corresponding position immediately and take a follow-up shot.
In addition, set shots are also the main way to score goals on rainy days.
Lazio has a lot of small players, so the headers in the offense mainly rely on the backcourt players, especially the two central defenders.
So when there is a set piece in the frontcourt, both central defenders must go up to fight for the top. In this case, who will cover the space left by them?
This also needs to be agreed in advance, otherwise chaos may occur during the game - I think you should defend, so I didn't go. You think I should defend, so you didn't go, and the result is that no one went.
, leaving gaps and loopholes there...
Long shots, coupled with second point control and set pieces, are the main methods of dealing with rainy conditions in this game.
For this reason, Chang Sheng plans to use all game skills in this area in this game, such as game skills to enhance long-range shooting accuracy, game skills to control the second landing point, and game skills to increase the success rate of aerial battles.
Now he can deploy four competition skills at the same time, and the remaining one competition skill can be used to enhance physical confrontation ability.
In this way, basically even if it rains, Lazio can still compete with Manchester United without losing.
Otherwise, if we still insist on passing and running on the ground, the error rate will be too high.
In addition, in defense, emphasis is placed on preventing high balls and long-range shots from the opponent.
Shooting from long range on rainy days is not a secret tactic, every fan knows it, and it is impossible for Ferguson to not think of this.
It's just that he doesn't know now that it's going to rain tomorrow. But if it does rain during tomorrow's game, Ferguson won't have to wait long to adjust his tactics, and he can quickly complete the change in the team's tactics.
Moreover, Manchester United has many good long-range shooters, Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Scholes... these people are all capable of deciding the outcome of the game with one long-range shot.
Don’t take it lightly if you always win.
In addition, when it comes to competing for high goals, the English team also has a talent advantage.
He asked the two central defenders to be tough when fighting for the top in the penalty area and strive to control the first landing point. Other players outside the penalty area control the second landing point to form a three-dimensional and complete defense line to prevent Manchester United from taking advantage of the second landing point.
An opportunity to launch a second attack.
After all this was said, Chang Sheng said another penalty kick.
He always has to consider the possibility of a penalty shootout.
If there is another penalty shootout, the scene last year must not be repeated.
After making sure that all aspects had been explained clearly, Chang Sheng waved the meeting away.
I have to go to bed early today, and it will be a long day tomorrow. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
