Chapter 80: What a Surprise (First Update)

The annual Serie A Oscars are a great event in Italian football.

Just like the annual Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year awards, it's a time to reward merit.

It means a kind of affirmation and recognition.

Because of Lazio's strength in recent years, they have gained well in Serie A Oscar.

Jose Passarella and David Silva both won the award for best foreign player in Serie A.

Jose Passarella has also won the best defender and Handanovic has won the best goalkeeper.

In the audience voting option, Lazio also won the honor of the best team.

This time in the Serie A Oscars, it is said that Falcao, who has transferred away, will win two awards: Best Foreign Aid and Best Player.

So this time Falcao will also return to Italy.

It's been half a season since he moved to Barcelona, but his performance at Barcelona has not been as good as at Lazio.

This is not surprising, Chang Sheng has long been aware of this.

At Lazio, it was the whole team that fed him alone, and he was fed the top scorer in Serie A and the Champions League. He also won the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or in 2008.

became Lazio's first Ballon d'Or, although he was already in Barcelona when he won the award......

After going to Barcelona, he was no longer the attacking core of the team.

The heart of the attack is Messi.

Barcelona's tactics and Lazio's tactics are in the same vein, but there are some differences.

For Falcao, he was asked to do more for Messi and cover Messi.

It's completely different from what Falcao played at Lazio. Falcao was a little uncomfortable.

The most difficult thing to adapt to is not the reduction in goals, but the change in status.

From an offensive core where all offenses are for him to finish, he has become a supporting role for the ball and running cover.

This psychological gap is somewhat large.

So he was a little depressed in Barcelona.

This time back to Italy. It can be said that I came to distract myself.

Being able to meet many of his former teammates at the Oscars may make him feel a little happier.

To be able to let Mr. Golden Ball cover him, it cannot be said that Messi is really the first person in world football in the future.

In fact, Messi at this time does not have the appearance of a future football tyrant, mainly because Guardiola is very clear about Falcao's advantages and disadvantages.

His performance last season was a bit pompous. As a member of the winning coaching staff. Pep Guardiola knows all too well how Falcao became Mr. Ballon d'Or.

That was the result of sacrificing the scoring ability of the rest of the team to favor Falcao alone.

Lazio wants to do this, but they don't do it.

He believes that Messi is clearly more suitable than Falcao to be the attacking core of the team.

Because Messi has the ability to break through with the ball. This point completely exploded "Tiger" Falcao.

tiki-taka needs a way to break the balance, otherwise it will be easy to be restrained by the opponent's bucket formation.

Lazio, who have been winning perennially, have opted for an overall increase, while Guardiola has chosen to take advantage of Messi's individual breakthrough ability.

In this way, in the team. Falcao's tactical position is naturally not as important as Messi's.

It is inevitable to be reduced to a supporting role for others.

※※※

Falcao met his former teammates at Oscar's venue, and a few of them chatted before entering.

It's nothing more than asking "How are you doing?" "Such a question.

Lazio have been doing well lately, while Falcao hasn't been doing well lately......

When he first joined Barcelona, Falcao also had a good time, scoring six goals in five games.

But a subsequent injury sidelined him for a month, and Messi took advantage of his absence to explode. After he went back, he was completely reduced to a supporting role for Messi.

His goal rate is still declining, and his goal tally has stagnated for a long time.

Especially recently, he has not scored in three consecutive rounds.

However, Falcao did not show such frustration in front of his former team-mates.

Although perhaps the whole world knows that he is not as good as he is in Lazio at Barcelona.

After all, it's still about saving face.

If he lets his former teammates know that he's not doing as well as he wants. Will they laugh at their decision?

Although he did not want to leave Lazio at first, he was proud to have joined a club like Barcelona.

So in the face of questions from his former teammates, Falcao told them how happy he was in Barcelona, how welcoming the fans were, how sexy the women were, how surprising the craze for Barcelona was, and everything there felt high-end......

While chatting, several former teammates suddenly moved their eyes from his face to behind him, and shouted in unison: "Boss! ”

Falcao shook his head, then turned his head to look over.

Not his boss, who is the Lazio manager who wins?

※※※

Chang Sheng nodded to them, said hello, and then looked at Falcao.

"Congratulations, Mr. Golden Globe." Chang Sheng stretched out his hand.

Falcao grew more embarrassed.

He also reached out and shook Chang Sheng, but didn't know what to say.

If you mix well, you may have some psychological advantages at this time.

But now......

He really couldn't look up in front of his boss.

Chang Sheng is of course well aware of Falcao's recent situation, but he can't say anything about it.

He couldn't give Falcao a trick and let him play a palace fight with Messi at Camp Nou. It is impossible for him to say that Falcao will come back, and even if Lazio raises the cap of the salary cap, they will still not be able to pay Falcao for years.

So he could only pat Falcao on the shoulder and walk away.

The rest of the Lazio players also said goodbye to Falcao and walked away with their boss. The Lazio players sit together.

Falcao didn't sit with them, he was watching their backs from behind.

Suddenly, something is not a good taste.

※※※

The awards were handed out shortly after the award ceremony began.

Lazio, who won the Champions League last season and just won the Club World Cup this season, are once again the big winners.

Jose Passarella was once again voted the best defender. The best goalkeeper is Handanovic.

Among the best teams voted by the fans, Lazio won the Best Team award.

In addition, the best foreign player and the best player, as well as the top scorer award, both belong to former Lazio player Falcao.

Although he is no longer a Lazio player. But he received the honor. It's because of his performance in Lazio.

So it can also be seen as Lazio's achievement.

Falcao, holding three trophies, said: "I want to thank Lazio, thank the boss. I will always remember the good times I had playing at Lazio. There is no boss. Without Lazio, I wouldn't be where I am now. Thank you! ”

After hearing his words, Chang Sheng smiled and applauded.

My own players have been trained and have been honored. This is also my own achievement.

Just like a teacher, who doesn't want their boos to be out of the way?

Because that will prove that you have the level to be a teacher, otherwise you can only show that you are not suitable to be a teacher, don't mislead people's children.

※※※

However, none of these awards are very noticeable.

Even if it's the best player, everyone doesn't care much about it.

Today, the Best Coach Award, which should have been a supporting actor award, has become the protagonist.

Everyone wants to see if Chang Sheng can win this time.

As the manager of the Champions League-winning team, if you can't win the award yet. Something must have gone wrong......

But there are still those who hope that Chang Sheng will continue to fail to win the prize, so that they can continue to gloat.

Look, look, won the Champions League and the Club World Cup. can't get the recognition of peers, how bad is this person's popularity!

So when the host was about to announce the winner of the Best Coach Award, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and tense.

The venue was quieter, quieter than ever.

Some even breathe full.

The host was a little surprised by the sudden silence.

He took the envelope and looked up at the venue.

He saw countless pairs of burning gazes.

He knew what these people were waiting for.

Wait for the judgment of constant victory, right?

He opened the envelope and pulled out the sticky notes inside.

Then he reads: "Coach of the Year 2008 ......"

Here he paused.

He looked up again at the audience, and he focused his gaze on Chang Sheng's face.

He wanted to see how Chang Sheng's expression changed at this time.

What would be his expression?

Nervous or expectant?

But he was disappointed, Chang Sheng looked calm, leaned on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked like watching a play.

All right......

The host was a little frustrated.

Then the next second, see what kind of expression you will have!

He didn't bow his head, but looked at Chang Sheng and pronounced the name: "Yes...... Often! ”

There was an exclamation at the scene - it was really for him!

Although the media has been breaking the news that this time may be Chang Win, they may have been many years, not once.

So in the end, when Chang Sheng was really given this award, everyone was quite surprised.

Lazio's players were surprised and delighted, and they slapped hard to congratulate their manager.

All eyes are on Chang Sheng, no matter where he sits.

The host has been staring at Chang Sheng.

He thought that there might be some surprise on Chang Sheng's face.

After all, he had waited for so many years, and he should be very happy to finally receive such an acknowledgement.

But it disappointed him again......

When Chang Sheng heard the news, he still had that expression on his face - just no expression!

He was neither surprised nor delighted.

Then he stood up and walked up to the stage to accept the award.

Receiving the trophy from the host, he asked Fabio for his acceptance speech, as is customary.

Chang Sheng held the trophy in one hand and the microphone in the other, and said: "What a surprise to me, it turns out that this award really depends on the coach's coaching performance!" ”
