Chapter 47 History is always strikingly similar
When Rome fans are still in great sorrow, when Lazio fans are still cheering, Changsheng has led Lazio to set sail again.
After the game against Rome, it was followed by the UEFA Cup group match against CSKA Moscow in the middle of the week.
The Lazio team went to the snowy Moscow to have a hockey game with their opponents.
At the end of October, Moscow has entered the winter, and the first snow has already come. Now Moscow is snowing their third snow this winter.
According to the weather forecast, the lowest temperature in Moscow is MINUS four degrees.
Low temperature, strong wind and goose feather snow.
These are all tests for Lazio.
To be honest, for Chang Sheng, he had no experience in leading the team to Russia in winter.
This is the first time.
However, he did have experience in playing football in winter, both in this life and in the last.
Because his home is in the north of China, it is a traditional heavy industry city.
There is a lot of snow every year in winter, and the temperature is very low.
Playing football when it snows is actually quite cool.
But for professional football, this is not a good thing.
Amateur football is fun to play on snowy days, and in the snowy field, you can do dangerous actions that you usually dare not do, such as flying shovels, such as barbs, such as volley, such as diving to the top …
But these things are commonplace for professional football, and players who have undergone good and strict professional training don’t need to go to the snow to have the courage to do those actions.
On the contrary, the slippery ground will bring them a lot of troubles, such as slipping inexplicably, such as missing the ball that should be received … This is the most annoying situation for the head coach.
Snow football, no one will like it.
But Chang Sheng is on the stand this time.
However, Chang Sheng doesn’t feel unlucky. On the contrary, he regards this as a process of accumulating experience.
As a head coach, there is always a corresponding method for every situation.
Where does this answer come from?
Come from experience.
If you don’t experience it, how can you experience it?
Therefore, in the winter in Russia, it is very important and rare to have a real match with the Moscow team against the howling cold wind and heavy snow, which requires experience to win.
Therefore, Chang Sheng came to Russia with the mentality of accumulating experience. When he saw the situation outside, he didn’t frown and scold his mother.
He is still optimistic.
Even if you lose, it’s not a big deal. It’s just the first game.
Changsheng’s confidence in Lazio is still quite sufficient.
……
The winning mentality is quite good, but Lazio players don’t seem to adapt to the weather very well because it is too cold.
In Italy in late October, it is still autumn at this time. From autumn to winter, everyone can’t stand it.
In order to adapt the players, Rudy Gonzalez put great emphasis on warm-up.
The team increased the warm-up time from the previous 20 minutes to 30 minutes, and required sufficient intensity.
Rudy Gonzalez, with a whistle in his mouth, kept an eye on every player in the warm-up before the game. As long as one person didn’t work hard enough in the warm-up, his harsh whistle would ring, and then he rushed to him and roared: "Warm up!" Be serious! If you don’t want to get hurt! "
Back in the dressing room, everyone’s body is emitting white steam.
The dressing room was a bit like a misty fairyland for a while.
Before the game is about to start, Chang Sheng will make a final speech.
Unlike usual, Chang Sheng didn’t shout "I just want to win". On the contrary, he paid more attention to the health of the players than the result of the game.
"I just have one request, don’t get hurt."
……
Although I said don’t get hurt, it’s always out of control … His system doesn’t care about this.
So in the 40 th minute of the game, the old goalkeeper Peruzzi pulled his back muscle in another save …
Because the field was slippery, he stumbled when he jumped on the ground, and inertia caused his back to twist and his muscles to strain.
Although he still stubbornly poked the football out with his fingertips, he could never stand up again.
So Chang Sheng had to let the 21-year-old substitute goalkeeper samir handanovic play.
He can’t even give Handanovic too much warm-up time, but he can only pray that Handanovic doesn’t go up and repeat Peruzzi’s mistakes.
"I’m still saying that, Samir." Winning clap handanovic’s shoulder, a face of seriously said. "Don’t get hurt. If you have to choose between losing the ball and getting hurt, just lose the ball."
Peruzzi wouldn’t have been hurt if he hadn’t saved the ball just now.
But there is no way to blame others for winning. After all, people are trying to win. Injury can only be said to be bad luck …
Handanovic nodded, and then went on the field.
Looking at the back of Handanovic Gundam off the court, Changsheng suddenly thought of Buffon’s debut in the Italian national team.
The game that made Buffon famous in World War I was on October 28th, 1997, which is a little close to the present day. That game was a World Cup qualifier between Italy and Russia, and Italy played away. In the snow and ice in Moscow, pagliuca, Italy’s top international, was injured, and Buffon was ordered to go on the court without even warming up properly.
The match was a decisive battle for both sides, and Russian Prime Minister chernomyrdin even went to Dynamo Stadium in Moscow to cheer for the Russian team.
As a result, Buffon made a series of wonderful saves, high and low, and finally helped the Italian national team draw Russia 1-1 away.
Chang Sheng thought, is it difficult for this game to become a famous game for Handanovic in World War I?
……
History is sometimes so strikingly similar.
After standing on the goal line, Handanovic was calm.
He seldom makes difficult saves, bearing in mind that he always wins. But that doesn’t mean he will let the football fly into the goal easily.
Because he knows how to make it up in other ways.
Guarding the goal is not diving. It is not that the more beautiful and difficult the save is, the better it will be.
A good goalkeeper should be one who uses as few difficult saves as possible.
Because he can make up for this with quick transposition and excellent position selection ability.
Many times, as long as the position is chosen correctly, he can win the ball with a simple standard save action.
So he successfully solved the problem of not being injured and not losing the ball for the team.
Let the players of CSKA Moscow who thought that Peruzzi, an old goalkeeper, was injured and had an opportunity to take advantage of it, be at a loss.
After many years of darkness, light … really seems to be coming over their heads? The light brought by the China man named Changsheng appeared at the end of the horizon!
