Chapter 280 New Season Tactics

Although there were some twists and turns, the final outcome was quite good. Lazio defeated rivals Atletico Madrid and won their fifth championship of the season. M

When the referee blew the final whistle, the Italian commentator raised his arms and shouted: "Five crowns! Chang has tied his Lazio's achievements! Now there is only one champion left in front of them, the world champion. The winner of the Club Cup! We have every reason to start looking forward to the six Serie A titles!"

After the game, Chang Sheng showed his demeanor as a winner. He took the initiative to walk to Atletico Madrid's coaching bench and extended his hand to Atletico Madrid's head coach Flores.

His resentment towards Atletico Madrid doesn't mean he feels the same way towards Flores.

In any case, Flores has also coached Valencia, and the two are considered to be of the same origin.

Chang Sheng's move made Flores very surprised.

He didn't expect that Chang Sheng, who usually ignored anyone, would take the initiative to shake hands with him!

He held out his hand hesitantly.

Chang Sheng shook his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"Nice job," he praised.

Then he didn't exchange a few words with Flores, let go of his hand, turned and left.

During the whole process, Flores didn't say a word.

Because Flores didn't have time to say it, he was stunned by this scene and didn't react at all.

After he reacted, Chang Sheng turned around and left long ago.

He stared blankly at Chang Sheng's back, not knowing what to say.

In the end, he still didn't say a word.

But Chang Sheng's praise, he accepted it.

As a head coach who once coached Valencia, he is very aware of Chang Sheng's influence and status, as well as Chang Sheng's achievements.

As a person who once listed Changsheng as a goal of surpassing, Flores is more aware of Changsheng's temper-to beat his opponent. You have to know your opponent first.

So he was able to get the praise of this madman,

It's really not easy.

Flores finally smiled.

Although he lost, the phrase "well done" should be regarded as a trophy.

He was able to force the ever-victorious Lazio into such an embarrassment, and in the end it was only a 3:2 narrow victory. What he did was really beautiful.

※ ※ ※

Lazio won the UEFA Super Cup for the second time at the awards ceremony.

This is the second Super Cup in the club's history, and also the second during Chang Sheng's teaching period.

The Lazio club's European honors, except for a Cup Winners' Cup, are almost all obtained when Chang Sheng was in power.

The importance of Changsheng to this team cannot be overstated.

When Captain Rocky held up the trophy, everyone looked up at the Super Bowl with happy smiles on their faces.

Follow the boss. Just so happy, you will never lose the champion!

※ ※ ※

Even though Lazio fans are accustomed to the team returning with a championship trophy every three to five times, they still ran to the airport with enthusiasm to welcome the team's triumphant return.

Just like what Chang Sheng felt before. Fans, and only fans, are people who never tire of titles and victories.

Two days after the Super Cup comes the first round of Serie A.

In the first league, Lazio will challenge Sampdoria away.

Although have played two Super Bowl. But in the first round of the league, more attention was paid to it.

After all, in the eyes of many people, only when the league officially kicks off can the new season begin.

At the pre-match press conference, Chang Sheng announced Lazio's starting lineup for the game.

Based on this starting lineup, plus Lazio's formation in the warm-up match and the two Super Cups. The media can already speculate on Lazio's specific starting formation.

The tactics and formations used by Lazio this season are not the same as before.

Although it is still 433, the player positions are very different from before.

Modric was completely fixed in the position of the midfielder.

And Ledesma and another midfielder are positioned more forward, becoming central midfielders.

on the front line. The center forward is at the forefront, while David Silva and Gotze are both wingers and full-backs, with flexible positions and multiple functions. This can not only enhance the strength of the midfield, but also increase the strength of the striker.

Not much has changed on the back line.

Lazio's formation has been adjusted. Mainly to apply Lazio's new tactics.

The media now don't know how to describe this new tactic.

Lazio has never officially admitted it, and Chang Sheng has never mentioned it. It seems that this is not their tactic, but just an accidental performance in the game.

At first the reporters all thought so, thinking it was accidental. But as more and more cases like this happen, the media feel that the situation is not that simple.

By observing Lazio's games repeatedly, everyone has observed it.

In the beginning, Lazio's offensive play in the game was very chaotic.

I can't see the direction of the attack. Unlike before, when the football is at Modric's feet, it is time to attack.

And now, the ball can initiate an attack at the feet of any player.

At first I thought I was not used to this kind of football, and everyone found it confusing.

Now, they find that they are gradually able to understand.

Lazio's offense is no longer messy. Although there are more people organizing the offense, the division of labor is very clear.

Not everyone rushes forward in a rush. When one person organizes, other people serve him, and the team operates entirely with him as the core.

This looks the same as before.

But the key is that it will be difficult for opponents to guard against the core of Lazio.

Because he is not alone. You can defend Modric, I have Ledesma, you can defend Modric and Ledesma, I have David Silva. You put Modric, Ledesma and David Silva, and I have Gotze. You defended Modric, Ledesma, David Silva, Gotze, me and Hernanes...

If this cycle continues, how many people can you guard against?

One-on-one man-marking is not enough, not to mention some players cannot be guarded alone...

This increases the difficulty of defense, but makes Lazio's offense more elusive and sharper.

Goals are more...

Think carefully. Everyone felt that this tactic was too scary...

If Lazio really practiced well, it would be invincible.

But from the current point of view, it has not reached this point yet.

After all, it takes a lot of effort and time for the tactics on paper to become operational real tactics.

But now Lazio has such a prototype, they have successfully taken the first step!

In the new season, it is obvious that Lazio will continue to adhere to this tactical play, accumulate experience in the game, and hone tactics.

But Chang Sheng never admitted this, and the media didn't know what to call this new tactic.

It is similar to -taka, but it is different from the current -taka.

It's hard to tell what exactly it is?

Or multi-core -taka?

Wouldn't that be more complicated?

So the media were surprised by Lazio's new tactics. I think Chang Sheng's approach is too whimsical.

On the other hand, I am looking forward to seeing the moment when this tactic is beaten by Lazio...

Maybe it will be extra exciting?

※ ※ ※

In the game against Sampdoria, Lazio's final formation was exactly the same as the media had speculated.

Modric's rear position became a feature of the new tactic.

After Modric came back, his precise mid-length pass was played. At the same time, he can sit in the backcourt and dispatch, hiding himself well.

In this way, when the teammates in front can't figure it out, he can often play a miraculous effect when he inserts suddenly.

In this game, many players who played in the UEFA Super Cup against Atletico Madrid were not included in the starting list. Instead, get a break.

In the European Super Cup did not get the chance to play, Ballack started this game, is the focus of media fans.

This game is in the midfield, and Changsheng has a combination of Modric, Ballack and Ledesma.

Ledesma and Ballack up front, Modric behind.

Everyone expects that Ballack can play well in the official game, so that people can see his value.

As one of the big-name players who joined the team this summer. Ballack did not show the ability to live up to his reputation in the warm-up game.

Of course, the warm-up match can't explain the problem, it still depends on the real contest.

But when the game with Sampdoria started. Fans who were bent on watching Ballack play well forgot.

In Lazio's high-speed offensive and defensive rhythm, Ballack looked very clumsy.

He didn't keep up with Lazio's rhythm at all.

And Lazio is not very smooth in the offense because of his poor performance.

Of course, Lazio soon bypassed him, and the team made a self-adjustment. After Modric took over the team's scheduling rights, he rarely passed the football to Ballack.

Barack himself was aware of the problem. He even catches the ball. They also pass the football quickly, and most of them are cross passes and back passes, and there are very few forward passes.

He himself seemed less confident.

This time reflects the superiority of Lazio's new tactics.

Although Ballack was out of form, it did not really affect Lazio's offense in the end.

Lazio finally defeated Sampdoria 2-0 away.

Ballack was substituted in the 71st minute without any performance of note.

He who was replaced frowned tightly, preoccupied and not in a high mood.

Of course it’s not high anymore. It’s no wonder that my mood is good if my performance is bad.

"Looks like Ballack has a little problem in Italy..."

The Italian narrator said.

At the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng was also asked about Ballack.

Chang Sheng did not hide for his subordinates, but admitted: "Yes, for Michel, it is not easy to come to Lazio from a place with a very different style. To adapt to Lazio, what he needs is time and patience. Patience. I have confidence in him. I don't think Ballack is here to hold his thigh. Every player is useful to the team. I never bring in players who are useless to the team, no matter how famous he is. , no matter how good your ability is.”

Chang Sheng's frank confession surprised the media.

They thought that Chang Sheng would be stubborn and confront them head-on.

I didn't expect Chang Sheng to admit it like this, but this made those reporters who were gearing up to make Chang Sheng and Barack unable to get off the stage a little disappointed...
