Seeing that Lazio fielded the strongest lineup they could field, Roma also showed their main strength.
Everyone thought this would be a close match.
But in fact this is not the case.
Chang Sheng regards Roma as the best target to test his new lineup and new tactics.
Because Roma is a mortal enemy in the same city, they will not let anything go in the game. They will try their best to provide Lazio with the worst possible environment.
Only by winning this way can you see how your new lineup and new tactics perform in this harsh environment.
Such performance is of reference value.
If the media and fans who think this game is a local derby know that Roma is just a lab rat that always wins, I really don’t know what they will think...
In this game, because Ledesma and Modric were unable to play, Chang Sheng made some adjustments to the team's tactics.
It's impossible to play without adjustments, and it's even more difficult to beat Manchester United, which is hanging on.
Motta has proven his organizational skills in the first round against Manchester United. He deserves the title, position and role of the new core.
But this also posed a problem for Chang Sheng.
That is, in the first round against Manchester United, Motta's performance was really excellent.
He officially took over the responsibility of the playmaker during the halftime break, and as a result, he instigated Lazio's second goal to equalize the score, and personally scored the third goal that turned the game around and sealed the victory.
It’s no exaggeration to say that this kind of performance is famous in Europe. Even the Catalan media began to revisit the old story sourly, saying that Chang Sheng, a liar, defrauded Motta from Barcelona. If Barcelona had known that Motta was like this
With his ability, it is definitely impossible to let him go to Lazio on a free transfer.
With such a performance, one can imagine what kind of restrictions Motta will face in the second round against Manchester United.
Of course, this does not mean that Motta should not be allowed to organize the offense. It is just that some alternatives need to be prepared for Motta to share Manchester United's defensive pressure with him.
Candreva's role in the last game was not outstanding and he was used as a pure defensive midfielder by Chang Sheng.
But actually that's not the best position for him.
Candreva does not have a good sense of position, but his running ability is outstanding. Therefore, he should have more space to move, whether it is defense or offense, he will make a fuss about "running".
When defending, he rushes back and forth to assist Motta and Cazorla in the midfield attack.
When attacking, use his excellent running ability to connect front and back. Because Motta is a defensive midfielder, even if he organizes the attack, he is behind most of the time. Candreva can also take long shots from time to time. He has this ability.
ability.
In addition to Candreva, Cazorla also changed from forward to central midfielder.
In the world that Chang Sheng is familiar with, Cazorla is an all-around midfielder who can organize, score, and defend.
Here, too.
His defensive routine is the same as Candreva's, using running to surround opponents. It's a bit like a pack of mad dogs hunting.
The shortcomings in its own defensive ability are made up for by the advantages of overall defense.
And Motta is always truly versatile in offense and defense. When attacking, he organizes the offense. When defending, he is responsible for holding his position and doing key defense.
Then Götze retreated slightly to attack. He used his speed, technique and the momentum of a newborn calf to tear through the opponent's defense.
Cavani stands in front to attract the attention of the opponent's defender, making it difficult for the opponent's defender to press on easily. This creates an open area between the opponent's back line and the central midfielder line. This area is for Caso
It's ready.
When attacking, do not restrict Cazorla's position and let him play freely.
Run rampant in this area and cooperate with Gotze to disturb the opponent's defense!
Then Rocky, the old captain has rich experience and is very good at playing football. He is considered a veteran. His main task is to pick up leaks, which is in line with his characteristics. This is not because picking up leaks is dispensable, so he let Rocky
Do it. In fact, picking up leaks is very important. Improving simple efficiency can effectively increase the team's possibility of winning...
In this winning strategy, no one is a useless perfunctory arrangement.
This tactic has made some adjustments to the previous Mad Dog tactic, so the team needs to adapt. This game is an opportunity for the players to adapt to this tactic.
After all, Cazorla's position has changed, Candreva has also been given a more important task, and Motta, his task is the heaviest...
These all require actual combat testing.
So even if Chang Sheng definitely knew that Manchester United would send scouts to observe the game and videotape it, he still had to arrange for the team to play like this.
Because he only has one week, if he chooses to be conservative and hide his tactics in this game, he will let his team miss the best practice opportunity. Nothing can train the ball better than this kind of real swords and guns.
The team has a chance.
Anyway, if you want to watch Manchester United, you can watch it. This is Lazio's tactics. If you have the ability, you can come up with countermeasures in half a week and conduct targeted training!
※※※
After the game started, through the long shot in the middle, you can clearly see that Lazio's midfield and frontcourt are two parallel lines when standing.
But when the game progresses, Lazio's formation will change differently depending on the situation.
When defending, Motta is in the defensive midfield position. Cazorla and Candreva have flexible positions. However, the three of them must act together because they are surrounding each other and avoid one-on-one confrontation with the opponent. One-on-one.
If it's one, even Motta doesn't have an advantage. Ledesma is a one-on-one strongman.
But now that he is gone, we must wall off our opponents and form a local numerical advantage.
And not only in the midfield, this kind of triangle siege situation must be formed between anyone and any other two players. This is Lazio's mad dog siege.
Of course, this has not changed much from before. Even with Ledesma, Lazio's defense was always like a swarming mad dog.
The key is to attack.
When attacking, Motta moves up a bit, changing from a defensive midfielder to a central midfielder.
Candreva plays in the midfield and in the frontcourt. He will constantly sprint back and forth and perform various switchback runs.
Cazorla's movements are erratic, but there is a principle, that is, when Cavani and Gotze team up to press Roma's back line near the penalty area, he will become active, pick up the ball many times, dribble and pass.
Pick up the run.
However, Lazio did not play smoothly at the beginning.
After all, this is a new tactic. Even if it is adjusted based on the Mad Dog tactic, to be honest, there are quite a lot of adjustments.
Need to adapt.
This discomfort made Rome think they had an opportunity to take advantage.
So Rome stepped up its offensive momentum.
But they didn't know that even if Chang Sheng made adjustments, Lazio's defense would be the least adjusted.
First of all, the backline personnel remain intact, and secondly, the defensive tactics are not much different, except that the midfielder has changed.
So Rome's offensive hit an iron plate.
※※※
When Roma seemed to have the advantage but could not open up the situation, Lazio finally adjusted.
At the beginning of the second half, Motta launched an offensive in the backcourt, and Gotze finally assisted Cavani to score.
In the Champions League, Cavani does not score too many goals, but in the league, the goal rate is quite stable.
Cavani's goal broke the deadlock and disappointed those Romans who thought they could add insult to injury...
This Lazio team looks the same as before.
In other words, no matter what trouble Lazio encounters, it is not something they can shake in Rome...
This is a really depressing reality.
In the 70th minute, Cazorla scored another goal. Lazio led Roma by two goals and sealed the victory.
At this time, Changsheng began to take off the main players to let them rest.
In fact, there is nothing to change, because there is really no one to change with...
Chang Sheng replaced Cavani with Giroud, and the tactics changed, turning into a simple and rough play of passing from the wing and outflanking in the middle to grab points.
But then he replaced Gotze and Rocchi one after another, changing the striker line. The two players he replaced were both young players from the youth team. They were not qualified to participate in the Champions League, but they could play in the league.
It can be seen that he is consciously conserving his strength.
When people who know football see this, they should actually know Chang Sheng’s attitude towards the Champions League match next week and how they are going to fight Manchester United!
The forwards have been replaced, and Lazio's offensive threat is not as good as before, but the defense remains unchanged.
So Lazio did not continue to score, but Roma also failed to score.
When the referee blew the full-time whistle, the score was still 2:0. Lazio, playing at home, defeated Roma without any suspense.
Commentator Caressa sighed: "This is a night that disappoints Roma... Even in the face of all kinds of unfavorable situations, Lazio is still an opponent they cannot defeat. This may be more disappointing than losing to Lazio itself.
Despair. If Roma wants to defeat Lazio, maybe they have to wait for Chang to leave Lazio, right?"
At the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng arrogantly told reporters: "Do you think Roma can stop us? Don't be ridiculous, they only allow us to warm up!"
He actually didn't lie, this was indeed a warm-up match!
But his words still made Rome very unhappy.
Roma's head coach Ranieri is a good-tempered man who was also irritated by his constant victory. He said: "Being too arrogant will put the team into a dangerous situation because he will let the players inflate themselves like him. This is for the future."
It is not a good thing for Lazio to face an important game. If Lazio is eliminated by Manchester United in the end, their head coach will definitely be the culprit!"
In response, Chang Sheng replied smoothly: "What a pity, Mr. Ranieri's team is not even qualified to be eliminated."
Roma has been eliminated a long time ago, and they are indeed not qualified to be eliminated again...
The constant victory is a mockery of Roma, who cannot participate in the Champions League quarter-finals. (To be continued...)
