Chapter 241 Closed Training (23/134)

The time between the Coppa Italia final and the Champions League final is not too long, that is, a week. M

But Lazio's preparations began when they eliminated Barcelona and entered the Champions League final.

Bayern Munich is the only opponent they have not won in the Champions League.

Even in terms of strength, Lazio is slightly stronger than Bayern Munich, Chang Sheng does not dare to take it lightly.

The German team has a very special temperament, which can make them turn their eyes around and win the miracle when they are not favored by others and their own strength is not strong.

This temperament started from the Bern Miracle in 1954.

They have been good at making full use of their mental strength to win since then.

West Germany was facing a mighty, invincible Hungarian team in the World Cup final. The latter has not lost a game for four years since 1950. Their most representative game was a 6:3 defeat of England at Wembley. Before that, the England team had ninety years No loss at home...

At that time, the West German team was completely unfavorable. They were not even the seeded team. In the group stage, they lost to Hungary 3:8.

It is such a team that is not optimistic at all, but in the case of conceding two goals in the final, it chased three goals in a row and completed the most classic reversal in the history of the World Cup final.

In the end, the West German team won the Rimet Gold Cup.

This championship is of profound significance to German football, and this victory even brought hope and revival to the entire Germanic family in Germany.

This is the power of football.

Because this game took place in Bern, Switzerland, it was called the "Miracle of Bern".

That is to say, since this game, German football seems to have been labeled as "iron-blooded", "tough" and "unyielding". They often have some classic cases of reversing and winning when they are behind.

In the penalty shootout, which is the most psychological test, the German's winning rate is also quite good.

Although Bayern Munich's strength has been greatly affected in recent years, it has proved their ability to break into the Champions League final for two consecutive years.

So Chang Sheng didn't dare to underestimate them.

Regardless of the opponent's strength,

This is the Champions League final. He will never allow his players to be arrogant and underestimate the enemy in the game. Lazio must go all out.

Losing such an important game because of his pride and underestimating the enemy is a way of failure that Chang Sheng absolutely cannot tolerate.

So watch the Bayern Munich game video and study targeted tactics. Conduct closed training...

Lazio is going all out to prepare for the final against Bayern Munich.

※ ※ ※

Because Lazio adopted a closed training method, many reporters could not know Lazio's preparations.

Because the information is opaque, not public, and asymmetric. Naturally, there have been many rumors about Lazio outside.

Some media said that the reason why Lazio wanted closed training was because they were afraid of Bayern Munich. Otherwise, why don't they dare to show their training openly? If you have confidence, you will naturally not be afraid of being seen by others.

Only those who have no confidence and have ghosts in their hearts will engage in closed training.

Think carefully about what they say. It also makes sense.

Closed training is for the sake of secrecy, and the purpose of secrecy is to increase the chances of winning against Bayern Munich.

If Lazio is really confident. Why do you do that?

Only lack of confidence. will choose this way.

Originally, the media thought that it would not take much effort for Lazio to win Bayern Munich, but now as soon as this closed training comes out, everyone is muttering—is it possible that Lazio has been eliminated by Bayern Munich twice in a row and has a psychological shadow?

Then thinking about it along this line of thought, I felt that this was really a very possible thing.

The UEFA Champions League final, which had no suspense, suddenly became suspenseful.

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng never paid any attention to those rumors outside.

It's pointless to say too much at a time like this.

Because there's no way you can shut them up.

Even if you talk too much. People will also say: "You talk so well, but when it comes to the competition, who knows what it will look like?"

Some people will not die until they reach the Yellow River, and they will not cry until they see the coffin.

So now Chang Sheng seldom provokes his opponents before the game - and there are no opponents worthy of being provoked by him.

It was the other party who took the initiative to provoke him. Because his team is no longer a challenger, his team has long been challenged.

For the provocations of these opponents, Chang Sheng believes in the creed of slapping them in the face after winning them.

For example, Barcelona is typical.

After defeating the opponent, you can slap the opponent's face with iron-like facts and a sharp poisonous tongue. Combining punches in a row, the opponent can't even open his mouth, that's really cool!

It's useless to refute what people say now, they can always find something to say, so what's the point?

You just need to write down all their raving words now, and then draw them back when the time comes.

The closed training is of course not because Chang Sheng is afraid of Bayern Munich.

He values ​​Bayern Munich, but it doesn't mean he is afraid of Bayern Munich.

In fact he was never afraid of anyone and any team.

When he was the head coach of Getafe's relegation team.

When his subordinates couldn't even make up the first-team lineup, there were still some first-team players rebelling, and he was not afraid of anyone.

Dazed succeeded in relegation with a semi-disabled lineup.

So he didn't know what he was afraid of.

His closed training is mainly to reassure the players.

There are a lot of things going on recently, even national leaders have come to visit, he is afraid that the players will be too excited.

This is not a good thing.

Moreover, it was too easy to win the Coppa Italia championship, and the results in the league this season are also very good. In addition, the elimination of Barcelona can be regarded as a big victory, and the number one team in Europe has been beaten like that.

This series of good news is not good for Chang Sheng.

He was worried about the players being arrogant and underestimating the opponent, he was worried about the players getting excited too early, and then they suddenly lost their form in the final-this situation is very common in football games.

Why is there always a saying in the World Series that "the heat must die"?

It is because the teams that are out of form too early are not difficult to sustain, and they are in full swing in the group stage. Chopping melons and cutting vegetables all the way to the knockout stage, but it is difficult.

Because their state came out too early, and then they lost their state.

After all, players are human beings, not machines. It's impossible to stay in good shape all the time.

There are only so many statuses, if they come out too early, they will disappear later.

And those teams that are always stumbling in the group stage are not very optimistic. On the contrary, it is very likely to reach the final all the way and finally win the championship trophy. Because they kept their bad form in the relatively easy group stage. Although they were not in good form, they also ensured that they could advance. Then as the knockout rounds progressed, the state became more and more hazy, and finally in the finals. The state reached its peak. It's a matter of course to win the championship.

The most typical representatives are France and Italy in the 2006 World Cup. The two teams were not favored before the game, and the group stage was not very smooth. In the end, it was precisely these two teams that entered the final.

And those big favorites, such as Brazil and Argentina, ended up being eliminated early.

Another example is this season in history, Mourinho once lost 0:3 to Barcelona in the group stage. Eliminating Barcelona in the semi-finals also seemed very difficult, and the away game in the second round was brutal.

Instead, Bayern Munich met Lyon in the semifinals and won easily.

As a result, in the final, Inter Milan easily defeated Bayern Munich and won the Champions League trophy.

Adjusting the state of the team is also an important skill for a head coach.

Especially those cup coaches, such as the coach of the national team.

If you can't adjust the state of the team, you can't control the state of the team, and you can't become a famous coach.

There are many ways for each coach to adjust the state.

Chang Sheng's choice is closed training, forcing the players to calm down, which can suppress their excitement.

Let them save their best performances for the finals.

He does not want the team to be disturbed by the media, so no reporter is allowed to interview or approach the team.

Not even the journalists on the Lazio club's official website.

So until now, there is not a single training photo of Lazio preparing for the Champions League final in the media.

I can't see any valuable reports, most of them are all kinds of rumors.

This is why the media hate Chang Sheng and insist on spreading rumors that he is afraid of Bayern Munich.

Journalists rely on this to make a living. If you cut off people's food channels, of course they will resent you.

Although Bayern Munich also imposes many restrictions on interviews with reporters, compared with Lazio, it appears to be open and transparent.

Some reporters even said that why Chang Sheng likes closed training so much has something to do with his motherland. He comes from the closed and authoritarian country of China, so he naturally has these methods and habits.

For this, Chang Sheng didn't even bother to explain. Whether China is open or not, he doesn't count, and those reporters don't count. Anyway, in the Western world, there are many prejudices against China, even if he reveals it, people will not listen.

So the best way is after the victory, as a Chinese, round your arms, big-eared melon seeds, and yell.

※ ※ ※

The team conducted closed training at the Formello training base. They did not leave Rome until half a week before the start of the game, and the whole team arrived in Madrid ahead of schedule by plane.

Then continue training in Madrid until the start of the game.

Of course, whether it is Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid, it is impossible to provide a venue for Lazio, because their relationship with Lazio is not very good-mainly because of the constant victories.

These are two teams that hate Changsheng deeply. How could they help Lazio?

Bayern Munich also arrived in Madrid ahead of schedule, and they trained directly at Real Madrid's Valdebabas Sports City.

The training conditions there are naturally the best.

Both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are members of the European G14, and the relationship between the two parties is relatively good. Real Madrid is naturally willing to provide Bayern Munich with a training venue.

And even if there is no such relationship, Real Madrid is willing to help.

Because as long as they are opponents who are always victorious, they will do the same.

They just hope that they can contribute to defeating Chang Sheng and provide some help.

They are eager to see constant victories and defeats.

They will be happy if Chang Sheng can lose the title at the Bernabeu.

So fortunately Barcelona did not join Lazio in the final, otherwise Real Madrid would be too entangled...

Just because Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid don't help doesn't mean that the victorious teams can only train on hotel turf.

In Madrid, there is another team that has a particularly good relationship with them.

That is their satellite club - Getafe.
