Chapter 409: Lazio on the Right Track
Changsheng is not worried about Lazio's game. He has been the head coach of the first team for more than ten years. He is generally successful. What storms and waves has he not seen?
A Champions League semi-final game is not enough to make him lose his composure. m
He has confidence in his team, and you can see the rewards.
Ledesma equalized the score with a world wave.
In terms of the total score, Lazio is in the lead again, and there is an away goal, which is an advantage that Manchester United does not have. In the last round of the home game at Manchester United, the biggest problem for Manchester United is that they can no longer have the opportunity to score away goals, but have to worry about the opponent getting valuable away goals.
Once the away team has an away goal, the situation will be as bad as it is now.
※ ※ ※
After the game resumed, Manchester United realized that they could not be compressed back by Lazio like this, otherwise there would be only one way to go.
So they had to use high defense again.
After the game resumed, Manchester United got a chance to attack.
However, Manchester United did not use this offensive opportunity to score, and even failed to threaten Lazio's goal.
Then the ball fell to Lazio.
Facing Lazio's attack, Manchester United continued to press high.
This move worked well in the early stages of the game.
Their goals were created by the opportunities they got from high-pressure pressing.
This is also the most effective way to deal with Lazio.
But the current Lazio is different from the previous Lazio.
At that time, the game had just started, and Manchester United entered the game earlier than them, so they were a little flustered by Manchester United.
Now Lazio has adapted to the rhythm of the game and Manchester United's pressing.
And just scored a goal. Lazio's morale and state are very good.
So when Manchester United planned to continue high-pressure pressing,
Lazio's fast passes played their due role.
The football was passed back and forth between several Lazio players, which was dazzling.
And Manchester United players ran back and forth between them, running and pressing very hard. But they didn't even touch the shadow of the football...

"This is Lazio! They are starting to show their power!" The Italian commentator shouted excitedly.
For Italian football today, Lazio is their only hope.
The reason why Italian football can still have four places in the Champions League every year is all due to the points Lazio earns in the Champions League.
So even if it is not to support Lazio, it is to support Italian football. Considering the interests of Italian football, at this time, the Italian commentator will definitely support Lazio.
When Lazio started this continuous one-kick pass, the few Lazio fans in the stands began to cheer. Of course, their cheers were quickly suppressed by the boos of Manchester United fans.
However, in Rome, the capital of Italy, at least half of the city was cheering at this time.
"This is the rhythm familiar to Lazio! They are finally on the right track!"
The voice of the Italian commentator was almost inaudible in these cheers.
Lazio fans watching the game in Rome, whether they are in a pub or in their own living room. They are following Lazio's continuous passes. Count loudly again.
"One kick! Two kicks! Three kicks! Four kicks——!"
※ ※ ※
Accompanied by the shouts of the fans. Lazio on the field is also constantly passing the ball to mobilize Manchester United players, making them chase the football, like a group of headless flies!
Those who were optimistic about Manchester United's ability to eliminate Lazio at home before the game. At this time, they were all silent.
They thought that Manchester United could be very strong at their home.
But now it seems that it is not Manchester United that is very strong, but Lazio...
Even in the away game, facing the backward situation, Lazio did not panic. They continued to stick to their own style of play and equalized the score.
Now after equalizing the score, their emotions did not fluctuate much.
Faithfully implement the tactical requirements of the head coach.
Such a team is the most terrifying...
Too stable, so stable that it makes people desperate!
※ ※ ※
In the next game, Manchester United's high-pressure pressing continued, but the advantage of the game did not transfer to Manchester United with their pressing.
Lazio has fully integrated into the rhythm of the game.
Although Manchester United tried to use the method of staring at the core of Lazio's offensive organization to curb Lazio's attack.
But in front of Lazio's multi-core tactics, such an approach is futile.
Lazio is not afraid of opponents marking their core, because Lazio has no core.
Marking Modric or David Silva is simply useless.
Since last season, Lazio has been experimenting with new tactics, which have become more mature this season.
The reason why Lazio can achieve such results has a lot to do with their tactics.
When other opponents cannot pose a threat to Lazio, such results are natural.
Manchester United was once optimistic, but now it seems that they can only hold on.
Lazio did not become a little conservative because of the one-goal lead in the total score. On the contrary, their offense became more and more crazy.
This is the basic concept of Lazio's game, use offense to defeat Manchester United in the away game!
Let them know that "generally speaking" and "common sense" are not suitable for Lazio!
Therefore, no matter whether they score first or fall behind in this game, Lazio will launch a fierce offensive in the away game.
※ ※ ※
At the 38th minute of the first half, Manchester United's high defense finally collapsed.
Because Lazio put too much pressure on them in attack.
If they continue to press high, the space behind them will allow Lazio to do whatever they want.
Lazio took advantage of the space and scored their second goal of the game.
Leading Manchester United with a total score of 3:1!
David Silva, who scored the goal, opened his arms and ran to celebrate the goal at Old Trafford, the "Theater of Dreams".
He silenced a large swath of red. And his teammates came from all directions to hug him.
※ ※ ※
"The game is over! The suspense is gone!" the Italian commentator cheered.
The England commentator took off his headphones and threw them on the commentator's seat, very unwillingly.
The situation before the game was obviously in favor of the home team Manchester United, but why did it come to the game? Which advantage is Lazio's?
They can't figure it out, a hundred of them can't figure it out.
※ ※ ※
"Two away goals, a total lead of two goals... If we can't make it to the Champions League final with this kind of advantage, I will eat the microphone in front of me!" One commentator even exaggeratedly expressed his disapproval. Lazio is optimistic.
"Lazio, who visited Old Trafford as a guest, did not choose to defend and counterattack. Instead, they unexpectedly chose a strong attack tactic. Although this tactic made them a little embarrassed at the beginning of the game and they conceded a goal. But the strong attack tactic finally paid off. Reward. They scored two goals in a row, making the game lose suspense prematurely!”
"Lazio's strong attacking tactics showed people the domineering power of a dynasty team. In the opponent's home court, and it was also a home court like Manchester United, Lazio still showed their world-leading confidence and offensive power! Even though Manchester United created a lot of trouble for them. No trouble, but Lazio still scored two goals in the end..."
Commentators from all over the world have become idle at this time, praising Lazio without any restraint.
※ ※ ※
When David Silva scored the second goal, there was a cheering crowd in front of the Lazio coach's bench. Chang Sheng is still just sitting on the coaching bench. Cross your legs. But the hands were clapping.
He still seemed very calm.
Just like scoring two goals on the road is a piece of cake.
It was the calm attitude of Chang Sheng that allowed Lazio's players to remain calm after conceding a goal.
When the Lazio players turned their heads, they saw the boss sitting on the coaching bench with his legs crossed. I don't know why, but their hearts are filled with the power to make them quiet.
they know. There is nothing to be afraid of. If the sky falls, the boss will be there to carry it!
It is this mentality that keeps them in a relatively relaxed environment during the game.
They have less pressure and can play naturally.
There is actually nothing mysterious about this.
When a person relaxes, everything feels smoother.
Lazio is in this state now.
They didn't feel at all that they were on the road, facing the challenge of their powerful rival Manchester United.
They were just like they were on their own training ground, passing the ball back and forth, running around, waiting for the opportunity to hit again!
This is Lazio football.
It can be said that it is simple, it can be said that it is complex.

Until the halftime break, Manchester United was unable to change the score of the game.
The two teams entered the locker room with a score of 2:1.
But for onlookers, the second half of the game had little meaning.
Perhaps only the most die-hard Manchester United fans are not willing to give up.
But in fact, during the halftime break, even the commentators who were optimistic about Manchester United before the game could not give any reason to continue to be optimistic about Manchester United.
It's obvious that Lazio's morale is high and they are in good shape.
"Although we are a little reluctant, we have to admit...how the first round played is really not a big deal for Lazio...They are fully capable and confident to end the game in the second round, no matter it is on the road Still at home. Look at how they played Manchester United away from home...Poor Manchester United, the high press didn't work anymore..."
A host from a TV station said this to the camera during the intermission.
He spoke out the sentiments of many people.
Some teams used a high press against Barcelona and they found it worked. So everyone started to use high-post press to deal with this kind of ball-controlling team.
I thought this was another tactical change.
As a result, Lazio, who always won, gave these people a slap in the face and told them to stop dreaming!
High press is useless against Lazio!
