Chapter 137 Are You in Good Shape?

The preparation time is always extremely short, because there is the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, so there are actually only three days.

On Sunday afternoon, the eighteen Lazio players who entered the squad showed up at the Frankie Stadium to warm up. The sun was a bit dazzling, but there were many fans from both sides in the stands.

David Silva was warming up on the court under the glare of the sun. He lowered his head and passed the ball back and forth with his teammates.

Lazio's warm-up is mainly about passing, all kinds of passing. Two people pass to each other, three people make a triangle pass while running, a group of people form a circle and play monkeys...

These are Lazio's pre-match warm-up activities.

The shooting warm-up actually accounts for a relatively small proportion of the entire warm-up.

Even the goalkeeper has to participate in the warm-up in the form of teasing monkeys. Because we have to beware of the situation that if the goalkeeper is passed back, the opponent's forward also presses the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper can calmly play the ball in the face of pressing, which can resolve the crisis, and at the same time, maybe it can also create a beautiful counterattack opportunity.

David Silva has done quite a warm-up this time.

Because passing is very important, as an organizer, he needs precise and stable passing.

He has put his mind right now, he doesn't see himself as a player who has achieved success, but as a pure rookie.

He is the most serious and hardworking in everything he does, and he believes that he will be able to succeed again.

After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the locker room.

In the Fiorentina dressing room, Prandelli said to his players: "The key figure in this game is Motta, he is the key to Lazio's offense, we must contain Mota's performance. As long as we control the Lazio attack. In this game, Lazio's offense will not be able to threaten us..."

Prandelli has the confidence to say this because Lazio's starting roster for this game has come out, and Lazio really did not let players like Modric, Gotze, Cazorla, and Cavani who participated in the game against Liverpool play.

This Lazio team is not the strongest lineup, so Fiorentina can take advantage of it.

In fact, seriously speaking, this kind of thinking is very sad-Fiorentina can't beat Lazio, who has the strongest lineup, and can only take the opportunity to sneak attack once when Lazio is napping and changing players.

When did Fiorentina need to do this if they want to win Lazio?

But there is no way, whoever calls Lazio is strong.

They are amazing, they are amazing, if they don't do this, Florence won't even have a chance to win!

At the same time, in another locker room, Chang Sheng was saying to his players: "I believe that any head coach with a normal IQ will focus on Motta after seeing our starting lineup. .Because Motta played really well at the end of last season. If they think so, great. Let's give them a little surprise!"

As he said so, he looked at David Silva.

In this game, he actually took a risk. He didn't let Hernanes start the game, but let David Silva and Motta form a duo. In this way, once Motta is marked to death, he will not be able to participate in the offense more, and David Silva will be sluggish and out of form as before. The result could be fantastic.

Of course he can substitute Hernanes on the field, but the previous tactics were all designed around David Silva. Hernanes’ position is different from that of David Silva. Impossible to connect seamlessly.

The effect will definitely not be too good.

So Chang Sheng is putting his bet on David Silva.

If David Silva does not perform well and Lazio fails to win, then both David Silva and himself will be under tremendous pressure, and the pressure on David Silva may be even greater than I am big.

In this way, the transformation of David Silva may be very unfavorable.

But as Chang Sheng himself said, both he and David Silva must bear this pressure, sooner or later.

A little earlier is not necessarily better than a little later, and a little later is not necessarily better than a little earlier.

To play professional competitive sports, you must have the spirit of adventure to play well.

Those who are afraid of wolves and tigers in the future will not be able to do anything well. In the end, nothing can be done.

"They never expected you to take over the baton, David. When Mota was frozen, you came to build the attack, like you did in training. You've been on the training ground for a month now, I I believe you can't make no progress at all, can you?"

David Silva nodded.

"You know what to do, so go ahead and do it!"

※※※

When the game started, as Chang Sheng said, Motta was closely defended by Fiorentina.

The two midfielders, Donadell and Cristiano Zanetti, are dedicated to defending Mota.

Among them, the main force is Zanetti, who was transferred from Juventus, and Donadell is on the side to assist.

These two men pose a great threat to Mota.

Ten minutes before the game, Lazio's offense basically didn't start.

It was because Motta was contained by the opponent.

Prandelli saw this scene on the sidelines and felt very satisfied.

He has not dealt with Chang Sheng once or twice, and he is very familiar with Chang Sheng.

At the beginning, he entered Rome and took over the position of Chang Sheng, and then Chang Sheng became the head coach of Lazio. As the head coach of Rome, he naturally had to play against Lazio. Often victorious, and Lazio's experience.

When he switched to Fiorentina, he used this experience, so against Chang Sheng, he finally had a winning record.

In the 2007-2008 season, Lazio won the double crown of that season. They were the league champions and the Champions League champions.

Fiorentina and Reggina were the only two teams that Lazio did not win that season.

And Fiorentina is the only team that has not lost to Lazio and can beat Lazio.

Regina drew with Lazio in both games, while Fiorentina drew with Lazio 1:1 away, and even beat Lazio 1:0 at home.

Now, he will hope to beat the ever-victorious Lazio again.

"Motta is completely frozen, while the others are defensive midfielders. His position should be further back. If he can't go up, he can't get close to Fiorentina's goal. If he can't get close to Fiorentina's goal, he can't threaten the opponent..."

The commentator Caresa said.

"Mota is different from Modric. Modric has a very sharp long-range shot. When he can't use the pass to open the situation for the team, he often chooses long-range shots and receives miraculous effects."

Chang Sheng walked to the sidelines, he didn't make any gestures, he just stood there.

David Silva saw his move.

He knew he had to do it.

He was a little hesitant before.

Now he has no choice.

If he doesn't come forward, Lazio's attack will be paralyzed.

Regardless of whether he can do it or not, he has to take this burden on his shoulders.

So when Motta took the ball again, but was surrounded by the opponent and could not organize an attack, David Silva cut in from the left and retreated to the rib position.

Motta saw his team-mate's run in the crowd.

Then a screenshot of the animation that the boss showed them in tactics class appeared in his mind.

How should it be passed on in this case?

Pass the football straight to David Silva's feet?

No, there are better options!

Motta flicked his ankle, and the football went through the **** of Zanetti who was defending him!

The ball was passed so fast and suddenly!

The football is rolling fast on the turf.

It doesn't look like it's going to be passed on to David Silva.

Because the distance is too short, David Silva may not be able to stop with such a strong pass.

Therefore, the Fiorentina players did not immediately pay attention to David Silva, but were wondering which Lazio player was behind David Silva?

Facing the ball, David Silva, who retreated to respond, made an emergency stop and made a fake move to let the ball turn around. The Fiorentina player who followed him also made an emergency stop, intending to turn around and chase, and steal the ball first. .

Silva did turn around, but the football didn't.

Because David Silva knocked the football to Meirelles next to him with his heel while turning around!

The ball was so hidden that Meirelles didn't expect it!

He acted only when the football was passed, but he stopped reluctantly. After some adjustments, the chance was gone.

"Lazio's chance to attack... oops! Silva didn't pass the ball well, it was too big, and Meirelles seemed a little embarrassed to catch the ball, and almost strained his thigh... The chance of this attack is so gone Already!"

the narrator complained.

※※※

The commentator and many TV viewers believed that the ball was David Silva's responsibility.

But David Silva himself didn't think so. He saw that Meireles didn't stop the football immediately, and then passed it out. His pass plus escape just now was wasted.

So he said to Meirelles very seriously: "Pay attention, Meirelles!"

As a player in the current Lazio team whose qualifications are second only to Rocky and Modric, he is serious, which makes Meireles, who has just joined the team, feel a lot of pressure.

Although David Silva was not in good condition during this period, he could still put on airs in front of Meireles.

Meirelles nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it's my problem..."

Seeing Meirelles nodding, David Silva turned and ran away.

※※※

Chang Sheng saw everything from the sidelines. Did David Silva pass the ball badly?

No!

If Meirelles starts running in advance, he can catch David Silva's ball just in time, and he can't be more comfortable, and then if he puts the football straight forward, David turns around and runs . Silva can receive his pass, and now the offense comes out.

But unfortunately, David Silva's pass was too subtle, not only the opponent was deceived, but even his own people were deceived...

This attack failed, but Chang Sheng was full of confidence in David Silva.

He clenched his fists.

From this ball, it may be seen that David Silva is in good condition today!

His skills, his body, and his consciousness!

It's all good!
