Chapter 214 Rain 1 Straight Down (Thanks Aimarfs for Being so Popular!)

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, quickly attracting everyone's attention.

"Ah... During the match, it started to rain over the match field, and it was getting bigger and bigger!"

In the beginning, everyone could only know what happened on the field through the commentator.

But soon, they no longer needed the narrator to know what happened.

Just a random shot, in the dark background, the audience can see the rain line very clearly.

When the rain started to fall, the Lazio players on the field had a brief moment of absence.

Many people will look up at the sky and let the raindrops hit their faces realistically.

That's how they believe it's really raining!

They thought of the boss's arrangement yesterday, and thought of the sunny weather today... Who would have known that it would really rain today? Except the boss...

Yes, except for the boss.

Boss guessed it!

He was right, it really was going to rain!

They all turned to look at the boss on the sidelines.

See the boss is gesturing to them.

The second set of plans!

They understood that the second set of plans was the set of "what will we do if it rains" that was arranged at the tactical meeting before the game yesterday.

With sufficient Takeuchi, Lazio's players quickly completed the adjustment.

If it rains, avoid walking on the ground when there is water, and try to be as concise as possible. Take more long shots and make more use of the opportunity of set kicks to threaten the opponent's goal.

Chang Sheng found the equipment manager and asked him to replace all the spare sneakers with spikes, and then take them out for emergencies.

If someone needs to change shoes, instead of going to the locker room, a quick change can be done on the sidelines. Just like an F1 pit stop to change a tire, just get it done as fast as possible.

In this case, use the time of various dead balls.

it can be done.

In addition, all players on the bench are required to change into the sneakers of Spike SG.

The equipment manager felt that it had just rained, so it might not be a big deal to do so.

But Chang Sheng is the head coach, and if he insists on something, he can only do it.

Everyone has been colleagues for three seasons. They are all familiar with each other's temper, and everyone knows what kind of temper Chang Sheng is.

His words cannot be refuted. Make no mistake, you just have to follow suit.

Anyway, no one saw when he made a mistake.

The equipment manager didn't understand the characteristics of this stadium, but Chang Sheng knew it very well.

Because he has seen that game.

Because the Luzhniki Stadium is an artificial turf stadium, artificial turf stadiums and natural turf stadiums have different drainage requirements. Because of the drainage performance of the court, the Luzhniki Stadium is not as good as those natural turf courts in Europe.

The drainage of this course is terrible.

The heavier the rain, the easier it is to form water on the court.

Add to that bad turf, a dip in the water...and it's even worse.

The field will become slippery.

But it didn't take long before players from both sides fell frequently.

Some players have also found that current boots don't perform well on today's turf conditions.

So Lazio players began to come to the sidelines to change their shoes while the ball was dead.

The referee did not urge.

It took about five or six minutes for all Lazio players to take turns changing their shoes in this way.

At this time, the equipment manager had to admire Chang Sheng's foresight.

The performance of the Lazio players who changed the long nails is obviously better than that of the Manchester United players who continue to use the short nails sg shoes. Because the spiked sneakers have better grip, are not easy to slip, and have stronger explosive power on muddy fields.

On the other hand, Manchester United is not as fully prepared as Lazio in terms of shoe preparation.

They had no long spikes to replace and could only continue to wear short spikes.

The performance on the court is not so good.

Not to mention frequent slipping and falling, it is more strenuous than before, and it is easier to feel tired. The explosive power is also insufficient, and the speed is like Lazio's players.

Manchester United could draw with Lazio before. Even if the score is equalized, they also have their own advantages in terms of court performance.

But this sudden entry made Manchester United completely passive.

Ferguson frowned as he watched Lazio's players take turns changing boots on the sidelines.

Although I also made a record for the rain battle, I didn't expect the sneakers...

This has something to do with him not expecting the drainage system of the Luzhniki Stadium to be so bad, but most importantly, he made a plan. But he didn't really think that it would rain in this game.

Until the game was about to start, the weather forecast accurate to the hour did not say that there would be rain in the area near the Luzhniki Stadium.

But Chang Sheng seemed to have decided that it was going to rain from the very beginning, and his familiarity with the Luzhniki Stadium also seemed to have led the team to play here for several seasons.

This is really surprising...

What is real full preparation?

Today, Ferguson has seen it.

※※※

Of course, Manchester United is not without a chance. After the field is muddy. For their English team, they can do some traditional English team things. For example... a long pass.

Manchester United began to make frequent long passes from the backcourt, looking for Rooney and others.

But they were firmly blocked by Jose Passarella, Pavon and others.

These two Spanish centre-backs combine to have great height and a good header at the same time.

Coupled with Handanovic, who has a huge range of activities.

Lazio's air defense is doing well.

The time is passing by one second, and it has entered the eightieth minute.

Ferguson returned to the dugout, preparing for overtime with his assistants.

But at this moment, two people stood up on the Lazio bench next door. They took off their overalls and came to Chang Sheng's side.

Ferguson noticed this, and he turned his head to look.

Chang Sheng said something to them, kept pointing at the court, and slapped the tactical board in his hand.

And the two nodded repeatedly.

These two are Belletti and Cazorla.

A right back and a winger.

But it doesn't matter, Ferguson cares more about his move of changing two people in one go than other people who replaced him.

before that. Lazio made just one substitution, replacing Inle with Ledesma.

And Ferguson still has one substitution left in his hands.

Seeing that the game was deadlocked to 80 minutes, Ferguson gave up the idea of ​​using this substitution quota, but planned to save it for overtime. Maybe there will be a penalty kick in this game?

After the rain, Lazio had the upper hand. Ferguson began to consider this issue. Dragging to a penalty shootout is the best result for Manchester United today.

But Chang Sheng used up all the substitutions in one go... What does he mean? Are you ready for overtime?

※※※

Soon, Cazorla and Belletti came on the stage at the same time, replacing Abate and Khedira.

Benzema was not replaced, but remained on the pitch.

Cazorla went to play in the midfield, but the position was in the position of the right midfielder.

In this way, a corridor formed by Benzema, Cazorla and Belletti formed on the right.

This corridor is full of attack power!

Chang Sheng's instructions to Belletti and Cazorla are to let the two continue to attack on the right side, and help Benzema beat Manchester United's Evra's defense!

He doesn't play extra time with Manchester United. Penalty shootouts are even less interesting.

Since I want to change history, I have to change it thoroughly. Not only do I want to beat Manchester United to win the championship, I also want to solve the battle within 90 minutes!

※※※

When the game restarted, Evra quickly felt the pressure, and the pressure was still increasing a little bit!

Belletti's assists are very active. After he came up, he didn't look like a right back at all, but more like a right winger.

Plus Cazorla and Benzema.

Evra faced three attacking players at the same time. He couldn't bear it any longer...

The two had just changed for three minutes, the eighty-third minute. Cazorla played a one-two with Benzema on the right. After receiving a pass from Benzema, he forcibly overtook from the outside, wiped out Evra who was staggering, and passed the ball into the penalty area.

Evra couldn't care about anything else at this time, and almost leaned on Cazorla's body.

How can Cazorla's 1.69-meter-small body stand up to Evra's squeeze?

He threw himself into the pond in the restricted area...

The whistle sounded!

※※※

"Cazorla was pushed down by Evra when he broke through with the ball!" the commentator exclaimed.

"Cazorla... will it be a penalty kick? Penalty kick? Penalty kick! Yes. The referee whistled and pointed to the penalty spot! It's a penalty kick!!"

"The Manchester United players panicked. They came up to the referee to argue. Evra even raised his hands to show that he was innocent just now... Yes, when he was defending Cazorla, he raised his hands in the same way. It's like surrendering... But Evra, you don't have to use your hands to push people... Your whole body is almost on Cazorla's body, and you finally squeeze him to the ground. This is not a pushing foul but What?!"

"There is nothing wrong with this penalty, Evra is indeed a foul!"

Seeing this scene, Ferguson rushed out from the coaching bench, followed by other coaches.

They protested against the penalty kick.

Regardless of whether the penalty is really correct or not, as a Manchester United coach, he must never agree with a penalty that is not conducive to him. It's not about rules, facts, or truth, it's about positions.

As a member of the team, we must resolutely defend the interests of the team, even if the method of this interest is somewhat controversial, we can wait until the game is over.

Unfortunately, their protests were of no avail.

Evra squeezed Cazorla from behind The evidence is solid, there is no problem, everyone can see clearly. There can be no second explanation.

※※※

On the other side, Chang Sheng and his colleagues are hugging and celebrating.

Got a penalty at the end of the game and everyone knows what that means!

The door to victory is right in front of Lazio. As long as this penalty is scored, with Lazio's ability to control the ball, they can completely defend this goal advantage!

The crux of the problem now is this penalty kick... Can it be scored in the end?

After the celebration, Chang Sheng and everyone around him were glued to the court.

care about this issue.
