Chapter 281 Self-Help (First Update)

Even Chang Sheng admitted that Ballack's condition was not good, and he did not cover it up, which shows that even Chang Sheng can't stand it.

How did the media understand this?

Good deeds have given Ballack a score for all his performances since joining Lazio, both in official and warm-up matches.

At the end of the day, an average score is obtained.

Of course, this average score is definitely not a passing grade.

This shows how bad Ballack's performance is.

I didn't even pass the warm-up game......

Being so humiliated by the media is a hard thing for Barak to accept. How has he ever experienced anything like this in his career?

Whether it is in Kaiserslautern, or in Bayer Leverkusen, or in Chelsea and the German national team, he is the star and the core of the moon treated like a star.

Who would dare to laugh at him like that? He's going to be able to slap those media with his performances on the pitch right away.

But now, he doesn't have that chance.

“…… Ballack thought that when he came to Lazio, he could hug his thighs and easily win the Champions League...... Let's not mention that after the Champions League is restructured, there is no team that can successfully defend the title. Let's assume that in two seasons, Lazio can really win the Champions League once. But will Ballack think this title has something to do with him? What is the point of this championship when he is in the stands, sitting on the bench? He didn't contribute to this title......"

'Perhaps Ballack's move to Lazio was the most unsuccessful option of his career, second only to Chelsea...... Obviously, Lazio is not for him and does not need him. Take a look at yesterday's game against Sampdoria. Ballack was so bad that Lazio could go around him and still win Sampdoria by two goals. This is the reality, the real situation of Barak in Lazio! Obviously, with him and without him, Lazio can win. But if you face a strong opponent, you will definitely not choose Ballack's start......"

The media once again set off criticism of Barak.

The Italian media is always happy to see the German players unlucky. Because Italian football and German football can be regarded as old grudges, the two sides are a pair of old enemies.

In the midst of this overwhelming criticism, Barak was almost scolded as a pig's head.

However, Chang Sheng still did not talk to Barak.

After expressing his support for Ballack in his post-match press conference, he opted for silence.

During this time, the Lazio players could all feel that Ballack's mood was not high.

Klose and Gotze are Barak's fellow Germans, and the three of them often get together for dinner and relaxation, and Gotze, although the youngest, took the initiative to lead the two big brothers into the team and live in Rome.

He also felt the pressure from Barak.

Even though Barak had never revealed it to him, he could feel it.

Rumours began to circulate that Ballack was planning to leave Lazio after one season and return to Bayer Leverkusen.

At Lazio, with his performances and form, he certainly won't be able to attract the favor of the national team coach Loew.

So if he wants to play in Euro 2012, he'll have to find another job.

Lazio is not the right place for him.

Of course, some people in the media also pointed out Ballack's problem, that is, he can't let go of his body, he can't really abandon the past and integrate himself into Lazio.

“…… I think Ballack should have a good idea of what kind of team he is playing for Lazio. Here, his past fame is meaningless......"

Chang Sheng watched from the sidelines to see how he would respond to such criticism.

The so-called to be saved, you must first save yourself.

If Ballack himself is self-defeating, then his own words probably don't have much value to the veteran.

He didn't want to waste his work, he was very busy every day.

※※※

After the first round of the league is the day of the national team's break, the Lazio internationals have left the squad to report for their respective national teams.

In terms of the German national team, Klose and Gotze have both been selected for the new German national team.

Gotze and Klose both played at the World Cup in South Africa and both showed what they can do at the World Cup.

Barak was defeated again.

Ballack did not play in the World Cup in South Africa because of an injury.

But now that he's out of injury, the lack of selection is technical.

Loew thought Ballack was not in good shape, so he was not recruited for the German national team.

It's as simple as that.

In the absence of injuries or illnesses, Ballack was not selected for the German national team, you must know that he is still the captain of this national team......

The captain was defeated, and that was no small matter.

The German media was also full of reports about Ballack's omission to the national team.

There are many opinions, some say that it is unwise for him to choose Lazio, some say that he always puts the shelf up, others say that he should leave Lazio, for example, there are rumours that Bayer Leverkusen said that they will accept Ballack......

On this international break, Ballack, who was not selected for the national team, was the focus instead......

※※※

Just when Chang Sheng was about to observe Barak for a while and then look for him, he took the initiative to find the door.

Before the start of training, Chang Sheng arrived at the Furmelo training base early to prepare for the day's training.

At this time, the earliest players should not have arrived.

But his door was knocked open by Barak.

Seeing that it was Barak who came to visit, Chang Sheng looked surprised.

"Boss."

Ballack's discomfort with Lazio can be seen in many ways, as evidenced by the title of Constant Victory.

In Lazio, the manager is not called the boss, nor the coach, nor the sir, nor by his first name, but the boss according to the requirements of the constant victory.

This kind of title, Barak is not very adaptable.

He is only four years and one day younger than Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng's birthday is September 25, 1972, and Barak is September 26, 1976.

He can accept traditional titles like "coach", "sir", "boss". But what is the "boss"?

He has always rejected this name before, and if he can, he won't call it.

But today, he is very active in calling Chang Sheng "Boss".

After Chang Sheng heard this name, he was busy with everything else, but he stopped and raised his head to look at him.

"What's the matter, Michelle?"

Barak came in looking a little cramped.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "That's it, boss...... Uh, I'd like to see footage of Lazio's matches from the past few seasons, can I? ”

Chang Sheng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "That's not the number of one or two discs, and you're not a video research institute, what are you doing watching so many videotapes?" ”

"Hmm...... I think, I think...... I wanted to get a good idea of the team's tactics, which I don't think I knew......"

Chang Sheng finally understood what was going on.

Barack was about to change, and he couldn't stand this terrible situation.

So he smiled: "If you're going to watch this, you don't have to watch the previous game footage." That doesn't make sense. Because of my new tactics for the new season. This tactic you should also know in training. ”

Barak nodded.

Chang Sheng began to rummage through the drawer.

Then take out a disc from the box.

"You'll check this out, I'm sure it will be helpful to you."

He said to Barak.

"What is this?"

"An animation and match clip of a new tactic. I did it to give my coaching staff a new way of playing. I think you'll be able to use it. ”

Eventually, Barak thanked him and walked away with the CD.

Chang Sheng looked at his departing back and laughed.

If you are willing to change, then there is hope.

He didn't quite know exactly what had made Ballack come to him, perhaps Ballack realised that he was on his own, that he was not qualified to waste time at Lazio, that he would either integrate into the team or go back to Germany.

As long as Barak is willing to change, then Chang Sheng will naturally not give up on him.

He gave Barak a CD-ROM that used animated situations to show everyone what the new tactics were.

It also clips of Lazio's successful play of this tactic last season, and tells the power of this tactic and how it should be played through practical examples.

For people like Barak, it's just right.

※※※

Chang Sheng didn't know what Barak thought when he went back.

But since Barak is willing to make changes, he is also willing to help Barak.

During the week of the national team break, Lazio had a disorganized personnel and was not suitable for large-scale training anyway.

So Chang Sheng simply opened a small stove for Barak.

He asked Stramaccioni to pull the youth team over and work with Ballack to practice tactics.

Now at Lazio, we are also practicing the tactics of the first team, so the players of the youth team can smoothly integrate into the tactics of the first team, and the difference between the youth team and the first team is only the difference in the strength of the players.

It's just right to be Barak's sparring partner.

Naturally, Chang Sheng is emulating Barcelona's La Masia Academy.

Although he scolded Cruyff, Cruyff did what he did at the beginning was quite correct, and he didn't scold Cruyff at the beginning, but scolded Cruyff, who is now the best at pointing fingers but not doing things.

Keeping the Academy and the first team on the same page will help the team in the long run.

Just like Barcelona, the excellent players cultivated can be directly supplemented to the first team, realizing the seamless connection between the youth training system and the first team.

In this way, after being difficult to buy in the transfer market, Lazio will gradually focus on their own academy.

Promote those great players directly from the Academy to be part of the first team.

Achieve self-sufficiency, and then after satisfying your own needs, those good players who can't be sold can be sold for money to earn a transfer fee for the team.

The transfer fee earned is then invested in the academy to develop more good players, replenish the team and sell it to make money......

It's a virtuous circle.

It's what Chang Win expects from the Lazio Academy. (To be continued.)
