Chapter 93 We Still Have a Chance
"No one in this world can block this shot! No one! No!!"
When the commentator on the TV shouted excitedly, the cheers of the Lazio fans in front of the TV had already drowned out his voice. M
Earth-shattering cheers erupted from the stands of the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
The entire Olympic Stadium seemed to be trembling under the sweeping sound!
Chang Sheng, who was squatting on the ground, saw the football fly into the goal. Instead of jumping up, he leaned forward and knelt on the ground.
He clenched his fists tightly, lowered his head, and gnashed his teeth, cursing: "Ooo! Oo! Oo! Ooo!!!!"
Every time you scold, you punch your fist.
This time, he wasn't scolding anyone, he was venting his inner excitement and ecstasy.
The word "fuck" is not a swear word at this time, but a modal particle!
Behind him with his head bowed was the boiling coaching bench and bench. Di Matteo, Rudy Gonzalez and other coaches and bench players jumped up from their seats, raising their arms and shouting.
Behind them, a little farther away, is the open stand.
The blue Lazio fans were cheering, they hugged, they shook their fists, they stomped, they jumped, they screamed at the top of their lungs...
Gao Hongbo, who was not qualified to be on the coach's bench, could only sit in this audience seat, also jumped up excitedly.
He has been in Lazio for half a year, and he has watched many Champions League games in this position.
But this was the first time that he was so excited, so excited that he couldn't control himself.
He, a shy person, also cheered in the stands.
From leading, to Modric getting injured, to being chased for two goals in a row. Finally complete the shocking reversal!
This game made him feel the charm of European football, but more importantly, when he saw this game from the perspective of a coach, he saw the contest between his compatriot Chang Sheng and Ferguson.
With one goal behind and the midfield playmaker leaving the field due to injury,
Chang Sheng made a very effective arrangement. He pushed Mota to the core position of the organization, and through the linkage of other players. The normal operation of this temporary core is guaranteed.
As a result, Motta successfully took over the core position left by Modric and led the team to tie the score.
Subsequently, Manchester United shrank the defense, limiting Lazio's passing and running positions. Forced Lazio to slow down until it finally came to a stop.
Ferguson's defensive tactics are very successful, he almost succeeded.
But Motta's sudden outburst knocked Manchester United directly from the clouds!
What a fantastic game!
That's why he came to Lazio to study.
Get in touch with European high-level football at the closest place, watch them, learn from them.
Get what you want from it.
Watching such a game benefits a lot!
At the same time, Gao Hongbo admired and marveled at the achievements of his compatriot Chang Sheng.
How many head coaches in China can have such abilities?
A group of people stay in the country. Sitting in a well and watching the sky, I never think about going out to see the world. Maybe they think that the European football is not suitable for China's national conditions.
But if everyone thinks so, how can Chinese football change?
There should be a gust of wind, bringing fresh air to Chinese football.
But not a breeze. But... a typhoon!
Uproot the rotten trees, blow the dilapidated houses to pieces, and let them fall apart, and then there will be another heavy rain. Rinse off all the pests that pop up on the patch, finally. After the rain, the sky is clear, and the world of Chinese football is still bright. If you take a deep breath, you can only smell an intoxicating fresh air!
If Chang Sheng doesn't do this kind of thing, then I will do it...
※ ※ ※
When everyone in Lazio was cheering and celebrating from top to bottom, on the Manchester United side next door, Ferguson stood up from his seat the moment Motta scored.
But he quickly sat down again.
Then he sat in his place and quickened his chewing gum.
He really didn't expect Motta to use such a world wave to help Lazio overtake the score.
To be honest, although rationally speaking, he knows that even with this score, Manchester United will have a great chance of winning in the end.
Seeing that he was a little upset - he could take away a draw, but in the end it turned into a loss. He always felt that he hadn't considered Motta's shot. If he could remind his players early to pay attention to Motta's long shot, maybe Carrick should follow Motta as soon as possible to prevent him from easily kicking... …
But it's too late now.
All the balls go in...
The competitive old man clenched his fists, and then slowly released them.
In the duel with Chang Sheng, it is a pity that he was not able to beat him in this game...
Manchester United had a great opportunity and didn't take it.
※ ※ ※
After the goal, Motta was still lying on the ground, and then he struggled to get up from the ground, maybe he was too excited, he didn't get up immediately, slipped when he stepped on the ground, so he fell down again on the ground.
When he tried to get Alai up from the ground again, Cavani slapped him to the ground from behind and pressed him up.
More Lazio players came from all directions and pressed on.
Motta never thought of it again.
Without celebrating the goal in this way, the Lazio players could not vent their inner excitement.
Narrow escape!
What a narrow escape!
At the last moment, at the eighty-ninth minute, the reversal was completed...
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
※ ※ ※
The Lazio players just celebrated in Manchester United's penalty area, while the Manchester United players stood there blankly, a little afraid to accept this fact.
Carrick lay reclined on the ground, leaning on his elbows, turning his head to look at Motta, who was crushed by the crowd.
He has lost sight of the Lazio player.
But a dull ache in the instep of his right foot reminded him of what had just happened.
Being able to kick back the kick I kicked... This kick is really powerful, no wonder Van der Sar can't catch it...
Being defeated by such a goal, I feel a little tempered...
※ ※ ※
when the game restarts. The speed of Mota's kick just now was shown on the TV screen: 212 kilometers per hour!
"God... Amazing speed! No wonder Van der Sar missed it!" the commentator exclaimed when he saw the number.
"It must be the fastest shot of Mota's career!"
"From where it was shot to where it was scored, it was the closest shot to the goal, and it was right over the goalkeeper Van der Sar, who just had to jump up and wave. But even so, this The top goalkeeper in the Netherlands, he didn't block the ball... the distance is the shortest, the speed is the fastest, and the time is naturally the shortest. No matter how fast Van der Sar is, he can't be faster than this ball, unless he reacts in advance!"
The last few minutes of the game. Manchester United once wanted to counterattack, but they had replaced all threatening offensive players in the previous personnel adjustments, and replaced them with defensive players.
What Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo are all sitting on the bench now, and they can only watch helplessly.
There is no way to fight back. Can only continue to stick to it.
As for Lazio, they naturally hope to win one more goal.
It's a pity that the time left for them is really running out this time. Moreover, Manchester United's defense left them with no good solutions. Motta's world wave has an element of luck, and it is impossible to count on him.
In this way, the game ended with a score of 3:2, and Lazio defeated Manchester United 3:2 at home.
※ ※ ※
Manchester United finally recovered from the palpitations after the game - they only lost one goal. There are still two away goals. This result is not bad for them who still have a chance at home.
Such a result guarantees that they have high hopes for a comeback.
So in the post-match press conference. Ferguson looked calm: "We played a very good game. It's a pity to concede a goal at the last moment, but we still had two away goals and only lost one goal. I'm telling the truth. This is a very good result. .”
As for the world wave at Mota's last moment, he didn't even mention it.
This is the psychological warfare strategy of the old fox.
Do not praise opposing players. Don't let the opponent's players be proud of this game, but repeatedly mention that Manchester United have two away goals, Manchester United only lost one goal, and Manchester United's next leg is home... These factors are good for Manchester United, but not good for Lazio. , Let the Lazio players feel that their victory has nothing to be happy about, and thus fall into a pessimistic mood.
It stands to reason that Lazio was able to complete the reversal when they were behind and lacked a core. Lazio played a great game in this game and deserves a lot of praise. A handsome coach would say: "Lazio also played very well..." But Ferguson just didn't say it.
This is his experience.
In the face of victory, demeanor is nothing!
When he knocks out Lazio, he doesn't mind showing everyone he's an old English man with a gentlemanly demeanor...
Demeanor is a luxury, only the winners can afford it, the loser has it... why do the losers need it? Does presence turn them from losers to winners?
Of course, having poise on a loser can make them seem a little more likable...
But why should the loser please the winner? Why do they have to force their faces and smiles to please the winners and the audience?
Because of the idea of "I didn't win, but I can earn the respect of the audience"?
Do not make jokes.
You don't win the audience's respect, you get only the hypocritical sympathy of the audience. Sympathy is definitely not equal to respect, and respect is not obtained by pleasing others.
And Chang Sheng said at the post-match press conference: "I am proud of the performance of the players... We played a very difficult game, and in the end we won. I think this is enough to explain a lot of problems. Yes , I know that the overall situation is not good for us now. But it doesn't matter, there is still one more round, we are leading now, and the final victory will belong to Lazio! Am I talking big? Wait until the second game, you guys You'll know if I'm talking big!"
Ferguson wants to suppress Lazio's morale, and Changsheng will naturally boost Lazio's morale.
