Chapter 207 Playing Football and Thinking with Your Brain (17/21)

In fact, whether the league ends or not has little impact on Lazio's preparations.

In the last three rounds of the league, Lazio played them as warm-up matches.

In these three games, except that Falcao must start, the starting lineup is different. Chang Shengli used these three games to test the team's preparations.

It turned out not bad.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

After Pacheco's last move, Chang Sheng didn't pick it up, which gave Pacheco a feeling of punching out, but hit the air. Not only did he not hurt the enemy, but he almost pulled his own ligament .

But he did not give up. During this period, "Gazzetta dello Sport" almost changed its name to "Lazio Sport".

Every day there are many reports about the transfer of Lazio players.

From the main players that everyone knows, to those substitute players who don't get much attention.

Almost everyone has been offered a transfer.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" sighs with emotion that if the search continues like this, Lazio may have to buy 20 people next season...

Such reports can easily give people a feeling of panic.

It seems that Lazio can't even survive this final.

Didn't the "Gazzetta dello Sport" say that the players are not interested in fighting anymore, and everyone is thinking about which team to go to this summer.

Even Lazio's final opponent Manchester United came to be lively.

Ferguson has publicly praised Modric's performances this season.

"I think he is already the top midfielder in Europe." Ferguson said in an interview with reporters.

As soon as the reporter heard it, he felt that there was something in it, so he continued to ask.

Ferguson followed the reporter's question and commented on Modric.

Finally the reporter asked him if he was interested in introducing Modric.

Ferguson shrugged: "Why not? Such a good player,

Who doesn't want it? "

So the next day, Ferguson praised Modric on the media in England and Italy, and news that Manchester United intends to introduce the Croatian midfielder appeared.

"It is reported that Ferguson went to the owner of the Manchester United club, Glazer, for Modric, and hoped that Glazer would give him a sufficient transfer fee to introduce Lazio's main midfielder..."

"...Ferguson seems to be sure to win Modric, and Manchester United has already made an offer to Lazio. According to insiders, the offer is as high as 35 million euros!"

Suddenly the news of Manchester United's bid for Modric was rampant, even overwhelming the news of Real Madrid's interest in Benzema.

So everyone felt that Modric seemed to be really leaving Liverpool and going to Manchester United.

※※※

Chang Sheng knows why rumors about Modric's transfer suddenly became mainstream voices in the media.

This is actually the psychological warfare of the Manchester United club.

There are many types of psychological warfare, and this is just one of them.

Before the start of some key games, in order to disturb the morale of the army and interfere with the performance of the opponent's core players, the head coach of the side will suddenly announce that he is interested in a certain player of the opponent.

This can be regarded as conventional psychological warfare.

Ferguson is an old fox, so it is not surprising.

The key is that your own players cannot be affected.

So Chang Sheng went to talk to Modric alone.

As a result, Modric's performance made Chang Sheng very pleased.

"Hey boss, don't worry about it. I've got my measure. I won't let these things affect me."

As soon as Chang Sheng opened his mouth, Modric said.

So Chang Sheng found that the speeches he had prepared were useless.

But he couldn't just turn around and leave right away, how embarrassing it would be.

Always gossip.

So he simply asked: "Do you want to go to Manchester United?"

Modric shook his head firmly.

Chang Sheng smiled: "I'm not testing you, Luca. I'm seriously asking, do you want to go to Manchester United after this season?"

Modric didn't answer right away this time, but thought about it for a while.

Then he frowned and said, "I don't know, boss. I really don't know."

Chang Sheng suddenly felt strange: "What do you not know? Manchester United is the most influential football club in the world. Compared with them, Lazio is like a country team... Is this question difficult to choose? "

Modric explained: "It stands to reason, boss. Manchester United is more famous than Lazio, but I am not sure if I can achieve better results after going to Manchester United. I am not talking about winning the championship at Manchester United. , I mean that in Manchester United, my personal performance can be improved to a higher level. Although Lazio is not as famous as Manchester United, but I am here as the main player, the core of the midfield, and I am very comfortable with tactics... If you change Environment, I really don’t know if I can perform as well as I am now. If I go to Manchester United, I can only play as a substitute... I might as well play the main force in Lazio. This is what I think, boss .”

Chang Sheng nodded after listening: "It's not easy for you to think so much, Luka. There are too many players who only think about money and money. They want to go to a big team, because a big team can Giving them more wages can make them stars. But for their own professional future, they lack a plan. Whether you stay or leave, I support your decision, Luca. Because I believe you are thinking Seriously thought about it."

Chang Sheng left contentedly.

He was very satisfied with Modric's answer.

It is worthy of being the core of the organization on the court, the team's brain, playing football likes to use the brain to think, and is also good at using the brain to think about problems off the court.

Anyone who thinks about the problem with his brain will make the most correct decision on whether to go or stay.

Just like what Chang Sheng said, whether to leave or stay, I believe it has been carefully considered.

Then there is nothing to blame, everyone is an adult and needs to be responsible for their own decisions.

※※※

The English media continued to hype the story between Modric and Manchester United.

The Italian media "Gazzetta dello Sport" is also very enthusiastic.

They even marketed Lazio players to other clubs.

Yue Zu acts on his behalf.

In this regard, Chang Sheng is happy to hear and see.

Because he really wants to sell someone, so now let "Gazzetta dello Sport", an influential media in Europe, advertise for him... why not do it?

As for the story of Modric and Manlian, after listening to Modric’s words, Chang Shuo believes that Modric will make the most correct decision, and this decision will definitely not affect his performance in the Champions League final. Performance.

But this media hype is also Ferguson's psychological warfare.

If you don't do anything and don't fight back, it will be looked down upon by others, and it will affect the morale of the team at that time, it will not be worth it.

So Chang Sheng responded to Manchester United's hype.

"Manchester United wants Modric? Then don't rely on the media to spread rumors, come to Rome to talk directly. Thirty-five million? Don't worry, this money can only buy Modric's leg!... I am very happy Seeing this hype, because it will make my players more motivated and motivated to perform better against Manchester United. Because... maybe this is a good opportunity to impress Manchester United? There is nothing like playing against Manchester United. Better self-promotion by beating them in United's direct talk! I would give Modric that advice - if United really want you, beat them in the final, conquer them and go!"

An analysis by the English media... **! Chang Sheng's words are not alarmist, it is really possible!

In world football, how many players try their best in the game in order to attract the attention of the target team, and even aim to defeat the opponent?

Too many to count!

And those teams that were beaten also believed that the players who did so had indeed proved their ability, and were more willing to introduce such successful players. Anyway, even if I can't use it, I can't make him an opponent...

This situation is very common, and it can even be regarded as an unspoken rule in football.

But the English media don't care whether Modric will really go to Manchester United. They just don't want to see the Italian team beat the English team...

So after Chang Sheng said this, the English media suddenly became silent, especially the Manchester media.

Obviously, they don't want Modric to face Manchester United full of fighting spirit.

If Modric really played well in the final and helped Lazio beat Manchester United, Manchester United would have no place to cry!

※※※

The English media has been quieter, and Lazio can continue to prepare for the game with peace of mind.

In the last half week before the start of the game, Chang Sheng focused on practicing set kicks and penalty kicks.

He remembers the UEFA Champions League final this season, in which Manchester United and Chelsea decided on penalties.

He didn't know if his arrival would change the course of the game.

But he also remembered that it was raining during the final.

If there is rain, and if it rains heavily... Lazio, who are particular about passing and possession, will definitely be greatly affected.

And Manchester United may be able to rely on the traditional British style of play to gain the upper hand.

That game was a contest between two English teams, so it can't be used as a reference.

As the head coach of the team, Chang Sheng had to take all the issues into consideration and make detailed and sufficient plans before the game, so that he would not panic if he encountered such a problem during the game.

If possible, Chang Sheng would naturally not want to take a penalty kick.

But if it does come to that point, he also hopes that the team will be fully prepared.

※※※

In this way, three days before the start of the final, the Lazio team set off from Rome, Italy, and flew to Moscow, Russia.

Over there to adapt to the venue, the climate, adjust the time difference, and make final preparations for the final.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, this may be the last glory of this Lazio team.

Regardless of whether they can win the Champions League, when this season is over, many of them will leave the team.

But despite this, this team still deserves respect-this is the opinion of those media.

Before the game started, they seemed to know the result in advance, and even wrote the eulogy...
