Chapter 52 The youth training director is here
Mario. Gotze started again and continued his good form in the Champions League.
There were no goals and no assists in this game. But he revitalized Lazio's attack and gave Lazio's attack speed, so that Lazio's attack was more threatening.
In this game, Lazio's tactics were almost the same as their 9-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, but the intensity was not as high as required, and the team was not required to maintain such a fast pace from start to finish.
Chang Sheng's 9:0 against Atletico Madrid boosted the morale of his players and strengthened their confidence.
Tell them that there is a future for them to keep playing like this, and that the future is still bright.
After the slaughter of Atletico Madrid, Lazio's previous problems seemed to be solved all at once.
In this game, although Siena still put on a stubborn posture. But the final score was 3:0 and Lazio won at home!
After this game, the media had to lament that the tactics they had worked so hard to come up with against Lazio were useless......

After the 11th round of the league, Chang Sheng received a call from Stramaccioni.
"I'm carefree now, I need you to keep your promises, Mr. Chang."
Stramacioni said on the phone.
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what he meant!
He asked, "You're no longer in Rome?" ”
"I resigned." Stramacioni's tone was a little gloomy.
"This ......" Chang Sheng felt very sudden.
He knew that Stramaccioni later left Roma for Inter Milan because Inter had worked tirelessly to poach him for two months, among other reasons.
Now Stramacioni resigned so early, why?
'Spalletti was sacked by the club. Stramacioni spoke calmly on the phone.
"Yes, I know that."
In fact, in the time and space that Chang Sheng was well aware, Spalletti got out of class much later. He voluntarily resigned on September 1 next year, after two rounds of the new season, due to two consecutive defeats.
Spalletti is now a full season earlier than he knew, and he was not resigned voluntarily, but passively dismissed. Chang Sheng thought to himself, maybe this is also the change he brought to Rome, right?
During this period under Spalletti, Roma's results have been up and down.
There was a three-game losing streak before. After winning a game in the middle, they lost 0-2 at home to Juventus. The upper echelons of the Club of Rome couldn't stand it anymore, and there was opposition in the dressing room.
So Spalletti got out of the way without any suspense.
The manager, who has been able to bring Roma to the Champions League every season, left in disgrace.
After Spalletti's dismissal, there were rumours that Roma's new manager would be Roma's Under-19 manager Alberto. De Rossi, Under-17 coach Stella Macioni and Under-15 coach Montella.
In the end, the Club of Rome chose Ranieri the tinkerer instead of any of the three.
Stramaccioni doesn't care what he does to coach the first team, it's always a feeling.
He's focused on the Academy.
So he would love Alberto. De Rossi coaches the first team so he can be promoted to head of academy.
But alas, all this came to naught.
Stramacioni was a bit disappointed with the AS Roma club.
At this time, he thought of what Chang Sheng had said to him.
The feud between the clubs is not important to them personally. What matters is what the choice is good for your career.
In Rome he was dancing in handcuffs, unable to carry out his great ambitions.
But Lazio was willing to give him that chance.
Should you leave everything you have in Rome and go to Lazio?
This question Stella Macioni pondered for a whole week.
Eventually, he made a decision.
Go to Lazio!
At the same time, to avoid being gossiped about.
He first voluntarily resigned from the Club of Rome, and because he resigned voluntarily, he did not ask the Club of Rome for a penny of compensation.
AS Roma were surprised by Stramaccioni's departure, and they didn't understand why they had done a good job and why they were resigning.
They tried to persuade Stramacioni to stay.
But Stramaccioni, who had been thinking about it for a week, was very determined to leave.
In the end, the Club of Rome had no choice but to let him go.
I have just completed the resignation procedures. He called Chang Sheng.
After listening to Stramaccioni's story about why he left Rome, Chang Sheng felt in his heart that his rewriting of history had changed history beyond recognition. Stramacioni left Rome three years before he had been.
I don't know if he will be a good manager in the future. But there is one thing that you can't change. That is, Stramaccioni is still the best youth coach in Italy!
That's enough.
What I want is youth training!
So he hurriedly agreed: "You can come to Lazio Club right away, and we will sign a contract with you." Then you can start your work at any time! ”
Three months on, the newly built Lazio Academy will finally have its owner!
※※※
Stramaccioni officially became the head of Lazio's academy the following day.
Out of respect for Stramaccioni's own hospital, the Lazio club did not hype it up. The announcement was made in a very small space in a very inconspicuous position on the official website.
It's a sentence of news: "Stramaccioni officially signed Lazio as the head of the academy. ”
Chang Sheng led Stramaccioni to the academy and was on his way there. He presented his great ideas to Stramaccioni.
“…… There aren't many players in the Lazio academy right now because we disbanded once before. It's still slowly recovering. Those talented players went to other teams. Now we have to start from scratch. But we won't just be looking at Rome and Lazio. Pataca is rebuilding Lazio's scouting team, and our tentacles will extend to every corner of Italy, even Europe and the world. ”
"They'll put the kids who have the potential to join Lazio, and the rest will be up to you."
Stramaccioni nodded: "I will make Lazio's academy the best in the whole of Europe!" ”
Chang Sheng smiled and stretched out his hand: "I'm sure you will." Happy to work with. Andre. ”
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Chang."
The hands of the two men were clasped together.

The addition of Stramaccioni strengthens the winning coaching team.
Now, apart from the physical trainer Brasi and the other two daily training coaches who are already in Lazio, Lazio's coaching staff is full of winners.
Strength and conditioning coach Elias. Dominic, assistant coach Rudy. Gonzalez, assistant coach Di Matteo, guest coach Gao Hongbo, youth director Stramaccioni.
The lineup is already strong.
But Changsheng still lacks a video analyst......

On November 11, the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia began.
Lazio, the reigning champions of the league, have the privilege of starting in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia. In this way, they don't have to play the extra Coppa Italia for ten or three months.
You can focus more on the league and the Champions League.
The first game. Lazio host Genoa.
In this game, Chang Sheng still chose to play with a mix of substitutes and reserves and youth team players.
The Coppa Italia is a great opportunity to train new talents.
In the end, Lazio and Genoa played to a 1:1 draw in the 90 minutes, and in extra time, Lazio scored two goals in extra time, and finally eliminated Genoa with a score of 3:1 and broke into the quarterfinals.
The quarter-finals will not be until January 20 two months later, and the Coppa Italia will not have to be considered for regular wins.
The twelfth round of the league is the Rome derby.
Roma, with a new manager, host Lazio.
Chang Sheng and Ranieri still have some connections.
While in Valencia, he was gone. It was Ranieri who took his class.
At that time, Ranieri was always compared to himself. In order to avoid this comparison, in order to really control the team, Ranieri came to Valencia and carried out a drastic reform of the team, wanting to eliminate the influence of winning in the team.
As a result, the team's results have been declining. In the end, he himself was dismissed by the impatient Soler because of the team's poor results.
Unexpectedly, now that he had turned around, he went to Rome where he had stayed.
Ranieri was nicknamed the tinkerer.
The nickname is due to his ability to tweak the team's existing roster and then make them more powerful.
It's like tinkering. Patch a piece of the rotten iron pot with a hole in it and cover the hole. Then you can continue to use it normally.
There is also a saying that he is always good at being a firefighting instructor. When the team is in crisis, he can lead the team out of the crisis.
But when he has a full season, he often doesn't lead the team to satisfactory results.
This time, Roma found him right in the middle of a change of manager.
Because Ranieri is good at doing this kind of thing to put out fires halfway.
However, in the first game, Ranieri coached in a hurry, and he didn't even know the specific situation of the team. The team lost away to Bologna.
Now the second game is against Lazio and the Rome derby.
His luck in fighting the fire this time was a little unlucky.
Rome derby, Roma is at an absolute disadvantage.
Ranieri seems to know this, too. So before the game, he didn't provoke Lazio and didn't show any ambition.
He appears very low-key.
And don't talk about this game.
Even when the media reporters forced him to talk. He didn't talk about it.
When it was pressed, it was simply silent.
A group of reporters really didn't have a good way to face such a person who lowered his posture and didn't advance.
For them, it was perhaps the most boring Roman derby.
There is no suspense about the result of the game, and now I don't even have a sense of expectation for the process of the game.
So what else can you watch?
Did you look at Chang Sheng with a swagger on his toes at the post-match press conference? (To be continued)
