Chapter 65: Banned (2-in-1 Chapter)
When Zhang Shu was replaced, Brescia began to slowly retreat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the 80th minute, Lazio coach Mancini replaced full-back Pancaro with Chiesa, and Solin retreated to the full-back position to defend, this time the tactical change was immediate, only 3 minutes later, Chiesa broke through and crossed, the football was pushed out of the box by Brescia's defenders, and Odor, who inserted the assist, shot from 25 meters away.
The shot was a boccia ball that miraculously passed through the legs of the layers of defenders in the box and headed straight for the bottom right corner of the goal, but Sereni was very focused and struggled to pull the ball out of the line with his fingertips.
The near-goalscoring gave Lazio renewed hope and they laid siege to Brescia in the closing moments of the game.
Finally, in the 89th minute of the game, with Stankovic's long-range shot, they pulled the score to 3:2.
Stankovic wasted no time in celebrating after the goal, as he rushed into the Brescia goal to pick up the football and beckoned his team-mates to run back to his own half.
However, there is too little time left for them. In the end, thanks to goals from Zhang Shu and Tare, Brescia beat Lazio, who finished second in the league, at home.
.
"It's over! Brescia lived up to their giant-killer nature, and Lazio became another giant team to fall at the feet of Brescia. Fabio, the commentator, said passionately. After ending AC Milan's record of winning all at home in the previous round, they ended Lazio's record of winning all away games in this round! ”
"It's incredible, they have won four in a row since Brescia lost 4-0 to Inter Milan in the 12th round of the league, and in those four games they have won against Juventus, AC Milan and Lazio in quick succession."
"Brescia's youngster Zhang made a huge contribution to these victories, but I think the celebration of his match will be hugely controversial after the game."
Finally, Fabio still talked about the celebration that made him speechless for a long time, "I think in the post-match press conference, the reporters will definitely give Coach Mazzoni a headache. ”
.
There was no need to go to the press conference, and from the moment he returned to the dressing room, Mazzoni was already having a headache.
He could well imagine what kind of questioning he would receive at the press conference.
The disciplinary court will definitely not let go of Zhang Shu's blatant insult to fans, after all, if such behavior is not punished, then what will happen when a team poses a F*U*C*K with its body?
Now Mazzoni will only hope that the loss will be small, and if all five men involved in the celebration are suspended, the rest of the game will be difficult for Brescia.
The players were aware of the nature of the affair and there was silence in the dressing room in Brescia, with no post-win laughter at all.
"Coach, I want to follow you to the press conference." In the silence, Zhang Shu said to Mazzoni. "Captain, they don't know about it, I lied to them."
"No, Zhang. Taking you there will only add fuel to the fire. Mazzoni frowned and shook his hand.
"I'm sure I'll be punished if I don't go anyway, right? Instead of being suspended from the game, let me go to the press conference. You have to let people know that the captain is innocent, right? Zhang Shu said.
"Zhang, we don't blame you, to be honest, in fact, we feel quite cool in our hearts." Filippini stepped forward and said. As the longest-serving player on the team, he didn't want Zhang Shu to feel resented by the other players. "We don't need you kid to protect us yet."
"Yes, Zhang, we can't let you take all the responsibility." Mazzoni said.
"But it's my responsibility, I just have to tell the truth." Zhang Shu spread his hand and said. "Or Daddy, can you help me say it? I don't think you can put it into words. ”
Mazzoni was silent, indeed, no one would believe him even if he took all the blame on himself, and let him face the numerous journalists and media, and put all the responsibility on a seventeen-year-old boy, he could not do such a thing. For the sake of the team, letting Zhang Shu take all the responsibility by himself is the best solution.
"Okay, Zhang, I'll take you."
For the sake of the overall interests of the team, the coach finally made up his mind.
.
"Mr. Mancini, what do you think of the Brescia player's celebration of the third goal?"
In the press room, a journalist asked Lazio's marshal Roberto Mancini.
"I didn't notice how they celebrated, my attention was always on the game, so I didn't think much of it. I guess this question has nothing to do with the game. Mancini replied.
Of course, he didn't fail to see that when the Lazio players put pressure on the referee, he was also complaining to the fourth referee. But now that the game is over, even the additional post-match penalties won't change the outcome of their defeat, so why bother wading into the muddy waters.
Mancini also doesn't have a good impression of Lazio's extreme fans, so he won't stand up for the pig teammates who often cause them to close their home stadiums.
After answering this last question, he politely nodded to the reporter and left the press hall.
Mancini pushed open the door and saw the old handsome Mazzoni and the young Zhang Shu who were already waiting outside the hall door.
He was slightly surprised that normally, on the cusp of such a storm, the manager would not bring his players to the post-match press conference for the purpose of protecting the players. "Zhang, you have to be careful." He said to Zhang Shu in a friendly manner.
.
When the reporters saw Mazzoni sitting on the rostrum with Zhang Shu, everyone was excited. They didn't expect that they would be able to interview Zhang Shu as soon as possible after such a sensation.
As Mazzoni's routine post-match wrap-up was over, they couldn't wait to raise their hands.
Since it was at home, the press officers were all Brescia's own people, so the first one to be called was a reporter from Brescia's official website.
'Mr. Mazzoni, we noticed that the celebration of the players after the third goal seemed to produce something that could be misunderstood. Is this a mistake in the celebration? ”
As the mouthpiece of the club, Brescia's official website directly described a deliberate insult to fans as a mistake in cooperation with Zhang Shu and his teammates to celebrate. They hope to set a good tone for the rest of the news with questions like these.
"Yes, it should have been a mistake, Filippini told me that they had intended to make a fist, but Zhang mistakenly thought it was just a hand raised." Mazzoni replied.
The reporter below let out a boo, this is talking nonsense with his eyes open, and anyone can see that Zhang Shu did it on purpose at that time, but the teammates around him kept bending over for several seconds. No matter how slow you are, you'll be able to react.
"Zhang, do you have anything to say about the five of you blatant insults to the fans?" A reporter from the Rome City media did not wait for the roll call, but stood up and asked loudly.
Like the reporter on Brescia's official website, he also directly characterized Zhang Shu's behavior in his question. This is just the most common professional habit for journalists who have preconceived positions.
The press officer hurriedly stopped him. "Please keep the reporters in order, and I will ask questions one by one."
But except for a few media outlets that have a good relationship with the Brescia club, no one else will buy it, and they are counting on Zhang Shu to give them another big news, but they will not let Brescia lightly erase the matter.
"We just want Zhang's answer!" "That's our problem!" Below, they were babbling in solidarity with Lazio journalists.
Facing the surging emotions below, Zhang Shu stretched out his hand to adjust the microphone in front of him. "Where are the five people, I'm alone. But that's not an insult to them, just a response to those extreme fans who racially discriminate against me in the stands. ”
But the Lazio journalist was not satisfied with Zhang's answer. "Those fans are just waving a black rope and you have no reason to say they're racist!"
"yes, so I'm just standing with my teammates, just like they 'wield the rope', you don't have any reason to say I'm insulting them?" Zhang Shu spread out his hands and tilted his head to the other party and asked.
Lazio reporters don't choke up and can't speak. Indeed, the behavior of the fans and Zhang Shu belongs to the kind of "you know what he means, but the other party doesn't admit it, you can't do anything about him".
Now he can't say, "We all know that the behavior of the fans is racism, and your behavior is also insulting to the fans." "This kind of second slap yourself in the face.
But he didn't have the face to say, and no one else would care about his face.
"We all know that the actions of those fans mean racial discrimination, and we can also understand your celebrations." Another reporter stood up and said.
"Since you all understand, isn't that okay?" Zhang Shu replied with a smile.
Seeing that Zhang Shu no longer denied it, the reporter asked, "So you admit it?" ”
"Just like those fans won't admit it, I won't admit it either."
"Then you deny your actions?"
"No, I think everyone can see that my motivation is the same as that of the extreme fans."
.
The reporters can see that Zhang Shu doesn't care whether he will be punished or not, he is now bent on pulling the group of Lazio fans into the water together.
I'd rather be banned than drag extreme fans to death together. Reporters can't help but feel sad for those fans, they provoked such a small-bellied person who must be revenged.
If you want to punish him, you must punish the racist behavior of those extreme fans together, these two things are the same degree of egregiousness, and the punishment logic is the same. The Football Association is completely unable to deal with one of them alone.
Zhang Shu maintained an attitude of neither admitting nor denying himself, and played Tai Chi with reporters.
They finally got a glimpse of Zhang Shu's ability to talk nonsense, like a good diplomat, and you feel like he said a lot, but there wasn't a single affirmative word in it.
"So you premeditated, didn't you?" A reporter asked
"Just like the Lazio fans, it must have taken a lot of time for them to prepare so many 'black ropes', and I have also carefully thought about it in order to express my enthusiasm for them."
"Do your teammates approve of your plan? We saw that they seemed to be surprised."
'Everyone was happy to be part of the celebration after the goal, they were just standing with me and didn't know what the plan was.
"So this is your counterattack against the Lazio fans?"
"If no one thinks that the Lazio fans attacked me first, then they certainly don't think I hit them back. Of course I can't control everyone's thoughts, everyone has their own opinion on the matter. So, my answer is -- guess? ”
Finally, some reporters couldn't stand Zhang Shu's behavior.
"Zhang, can you tell me for sure what one plus one is?"
This question caused a burst of laughter from the audience, and the reporters wanted to see how Zhang Shu would answer.
Zhang Shu also smiled, he thought about it and said.
"Mathematically, a lot of people think that one plus one equals two, and maybe most of the time I'm like most people, but at some point I don't rule out the possibility that one plus one equals two."
.
Zhang Shu had a good time with the reporters, but the Italian Football Federation's disciplinary tribunal quickly ruled on what happened in the game.
Zhang Shu, the main offender, was banned for six games for unprofessional immorality, and the Brescia club was fined 50,000 euros. At the same time, more than 10 extreme Lazio fans were also banned for life for serious racial discrimination. From then on, they will not be allowed to enter any stadium to watch the game.
The rest of Brescia's players were not punished, they were unaware of Zhang's plans, and if the other four players were suspended, would Schop, who was celebrating for the second time, need to be punished in the same way? After all, the reason why the third celebration was considered an insult to the fans was based on the first and second celebrations, but the first and second celebrations had nothing to do with immoral behavior. There's no way Shope was going to let him lie down just because he was in a normal celebration, right?
So in order to avoid trouble, the disciplinary tribunal spared the other players of Brescia. But they will not open the net to those extreme fans, usually the Football Association may turn a blind eye to those extreme fans, but if they are severely punished can increase the legal rationality of the punishment of Zhang Shu, the disciplinary court will not hesitate to make such a decision.
Mazzoni is already very satisfied with such a result, Brescia does not have to worry about his players being suspended on a large scale, and for Zhang Shu, it is good to let this wanton brat suffer a little. Since his debut, his path has been too smooth, and it's time for him to experience a little setback.
Anyway, there were preparations for this before, and this ban allowed Mazzoni to justifiably let Zhang Shu calm down in the stands for a while, and he only needed to do a good job of counseling him.
Hopefully this kid will learn the lesson this time.
However, Zhang Shu, who learned a lesson or something, can't do it, let alone what psychological counseling is needed, and now he is in a very comfortable mood after learning the punishment result of the Football Association.
"I was banned for a month and a half, and 10 people on the other side were banned for life, which made a lot of money." He said happily to his teammates.
