Chapter 100: Copycat Mad Dog

In the game against Rome, the Lazio team had to adapt for more than 30 minutes before they got used to it.

This time, they didn't take that long. About eighteen minutes later, Lazio launched a rather threatening attack.

He hit Manchester United's goal all the way. If it wasn't for Rio Ferdinand who destroyed Cazorla's pass, I'm afraid Cavani would have a chance to face Van der Sar directly.

This attack was initiated by Mota.

Chang Sheng saw this scene off your court. Although Cavani didn't score a goal, he clenched his fists happily.

Then he walked back to the coach's bench, asked Rudy Gonzalez for a bottle of water, and drank half of it in one go.

The offense returned to normal, and he was relieved.

Next, Lazio's offensive appeared wave after wave. Manchester United was forced to shrink its defense and was pressed back by Lazio.

Ferguson frowned a little bit.

He was a little surprised that Lazio returned to normal sooner than he expected.

This team is amazing, and that Chinese kid is amazing too...

In seven days, a set of offensive and defensive tactics was recreated...

If he remembered correctly, this shouldn't be the first time Chang Sheng has shown such a miracle, right?

Lazio is so strong, but Ferguson wants to beat this team even more.

Only by defeating them can it prove that Manchester United is the strongest team and allow Manchester United to move on until they finally win the Champions League.

The old man has only won one Champions League in his life, which is a knot in his heart.

Legendary coaches who became famous in the UK, except Bill Shankly did not have as many Champions League titles as Bob Paisley and Brian Clough have at least two Champions League titles, Clough has two, Pai Seeley was three. Even Fagan has one, just like Ferguson.

Now these legendary coaches have all retired or even passed away.

Ferguson hopes to win another Champions League, at least two Champions Leagues, right?

Last year's final was supposed to be his golden opportunity,

Manchester United are almost at their peak. United were impeccable that season.

From the overall to the individual players, the state is very good.

But lost to Lazio led by Chang Sheng in the final.

This defeat made Ferguson heartbroken, although he never showed it, but he never gave up the idea of ​​revenge for Lazio.

This time, Lazio was drawn in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which is an excellent opportunity for him.

Seeing that Motta was very active, Ferguson realized that it would not work to continue to be suppressed by Lazio.

It is necessary to counterattack, because the ball is at the feet of Motta, and Motta is the midfielder.

Can't let him hide behind and comfortably handle the ball!

Ferguson could see that Lazio's tactical intent was to compress all three of his lines into one and... let them penetrate.

Because they have players with excellent breakthrough ability like Gotze and Cazorla in the frontcourt. Plus Motta's through ball.

In Ferguson's view, the most threatening person in Lazio is not Gotze, Cazorla, or Motta.

As long as Motta is frozen, Lazio's offense will be unsustainable. When their offense can't play, Manchester United's offense is liberated.

Therefore, we must press out to attack and burn the flames of war to the opponent's half, instead of staying on our own side.

He told his assistant coach Mullensten: "Tell the lads. Let them press out bravely and turn the situation around. Also. Let Carrick and Rooney flank Motta back and forth."

Mullensten stood up, walked to the sidelines, and yelled into the field.

Soon, when Lazio attacked, they found that the resistance from Manchester United was more tenacious.

Their tackles have increased and their runs have increased. Almost every corner of the stadium, there are their Manchester United players.

This made Lazio a little uncomfortable.

As they advance, they will encounter stubborn resistance and siege from each other.

After being disrupted several times by Manchester United in this way, Lazio's players became more surprised and awkward as they played.

They couldn't tell why. Anyway, I just feel awkward...

This awkward feeling affected their performance, and Lazio's offensive was gradually suppressed.

The initiative, which was finally grasped, gradually slipped away.

Amidst the deafening cheers at Old Trafford, Manchester United regained the upper hand and their attack became more violent.

※ ※ ※

The Lazio players just felt awkward, and they didn't understand why they felt awkward.

Chang Sheng on the sidelines saw it clearly, not only him, but also the assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez next to him. He suddenly snorted: "That's interesting."

Chang Sheng ignored him, but turned to look at the next door.

Ferguson is still sitting on the coaching bench, and assistant coach Mullensten has just returned.

The old man sat on his seat with his legs crossed, chewing gum in his mouth, looking quite calm.

Chang Sheng smiled.

As Rudy Gonzalez said, it's really interesting.

Unexpectedly, the way Ferguson announced to deal with Lazio turned out to be... retaliate against him in his own way!

Does Ferguson also watch Tianlong Babu?

Manchester United dealt with Lazio by robbing to rob, attacking and attacking.

Use the running of all members to surround Lazio, and then use a powerful offensive to suppress Lazio.

Because Manchester United's offense has come up, they have more time to move in the frontcourt, and the distance between their players and Motta is closer, so they can continue to put pressure on Motta.

Even if they have a lot of space behind them, they may be counterattacked by Lazio, they can't care about it.

It seems that they are very clear that Motta is the Lazio player who threatens them the most, and it is necessary to end the situation where Motta was hiding behind.

So after pressing up, they ran towards Mota.

Sure enough, their approach has received results.

Under the defense of two or three opponents, Motta looked a little embarrassed.

Lazio's offense suddenly became unsustainable...

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng really didn't expect Ferguson to copy his own set of tactics.

This is really surprising, he thought Ferguson would come up with an original set of things, but it turned out to be a counterfeit...

He had never considered this possibility before.

But then he had to admit that the effect of Ferguson's doing so was pretty good.

Now Lazio is suppressed by Manchester United again, which is the best proof.

The Lazio players had no idea that they would be playing against their mirror images.

This will indeed be awkward.

Chang Sheng was not frustrated or irritated that Ferguson had found a tactic against him at Lazio. Instead he was excited.

That's why he liked being a head coach since he was a child.

Because of this kind of brain game, he likes it the most.

When he was a fan, he was looking forward to playing against world-class coaches.

It's a pity that his opponent in the FM game is nothing more than computer intelligence.

Only now is the confrontation with real real people, full of all kinds of surprises and surprises, making him mesmerized.

It has been almost ten years since he time traveled and became the head coach. He never got tired of this life.

Even against the same opponent, each time has a different feeling.

Like Ferguson.

He really didn't expect Ferguson to give him such a big surprise this time...

Copycat yourself!

Leaving aside the results of the competition, it is a great sense of accomplishment to be victorious now.

The idol I once admired has copied me!

It seems that the problem I posed to Ferguson is not small!

※ ※ ※

Excitement is nothing but excitement, Chang Sheng still knows what he should do.

He never thought that Ferguson would use his own methods to deal with him.

But this doesn't cause him too much trouble.

The team's underperformance was nothing more than surprise.

Now that Manchester United is actually playing this game, Chang Sheng is relieved.

Now this set is what Lazio is best at!

Ferguson chose to fight Lazio with what Lazio is best at. Isn't that courting death?

With the rapid advancement and oppressive siege in this round of running, which team in today's football can play better than our Lazio?

This is so interesting, Manchester United think they can stop Lazio's attack by freezing Thiago Motta?

That's a real shame...

at this time. The other chess pieces that I arranged in advance can play a role.

He turned his head and looked. Ferguson was still sitting there chewing gum, but he had switched legs and crossed his legs.

Do you think Lazio won't be able to attack by freezing my Mota?

Come, let me show you the upgraded version of "Mad Dog Tactic" "Mad Wolf Tactic"!

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng's "crazy wolf tactic" is not exactly the same as Spalletti's "wolf pack tactic" in Rome, although the names sound similar, and they are both fast forward midfield and group combat.

But Spalletti's "wolf pack tactics" are due to their lack of suitable forwards. As a last resort, Totti, who was originally playing as a second striker, was forced to play as a center forward, when the game was offensive. Totti will retreat, and then carry out an overall advancing tactic around him.

Changsheng's "crazy wolf tactic" is not a 460 formation without a front. He has center Cavani and Rocky.

His "crazy wolf tactics" are mainly based on the advancement of the midfield, relying on the tireless running and passing of the players to send the football to the opponent's heartland. But the threat is even greater, because they still have a center Cavani in the opponent's confidant...

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is compared with Manchester United in terms of speed, the speed of offensive and defensive transitions compared with fast passes, and the accuracy of advancement compared with fast passes.

Take back control of midfield with a quicker and more brutal approach that can turn the tide.

In fact, the "wolf pack tactic" played by Rome in the Spalletti era in this time and space was inspired by the "mad dog tactic" of the ever-victorious Lazio. Spalletti combined his own characteristics to create this pack of wolves.

It's a pity that the pack of wolves ran into a mad dog, but nothing happened.

Because Lazio has the word "crazy" in the two sets of tactics, this is the key core.

Those who are not crazy do not become demons. Crazy mad dogs have a magical nature, and they will catch up and bite any strong enemy they encounter. This is far behind the rational wolves.

Because the wolves will know how to retreat and avoid when they are hit.

Lazio's mad dogs are not, either they tear the enemy to pieces, or they are killed by the enemy. There is no third outcome.

Changsheng's "crazy wolf tactics" now, on the basis of madness, the dog has become a wolf, its attack power has increased, and its ferocity has surpassed that of a mad dog.

Crazy wolf vs. copycat version of mad dog, it is destined to be a bloody match... (to be continued...)
