Chapter Seventy-Three: I'm Provoking, What's the Matter?
From the time Tsuneh said these words until the start of the match, the entire Japanese media was following the match, and different media repeatedly broadcast Tsune's words: "I'm not familiar with Gamba Osaka, not at all." But it doesn't matter, I believe in Lazio's quality, as long as we play our own football, there will be no suspense in this game. ”
Then began to criticize the megalomania of the constant victory.
There are more and more brazen attacks on Changsheng online.
In this regard, the Italian media felt that the Japanese media was really making a fuss and making a big fuss.
"It seems that they don't know enough about Chang, otherwise they wouldn't be like cats who have been stepped on by their tails......"
So says Roma Sport.
But in fact, the Italian media does not know enough about the grievances between China and Japan.
If it were a famous coach from another country, the Japanese media would not dare to let out a fart.
But just because Chang Sheng is a Chinese, they are very unhappy.
Anyone can show off their might in front of them, but the Chinese can't!
Let's not talk about politics, economy and culture, let's just talk about football, China is lagging behind Japan in football in an all-round way, what capital do they Chinese have to be arrogant in front of us?
Japan is not the only one who holds this view, but also some Chinese media and experts.
They think that Chang Sheng is too rude, and as far as Chinese football is concerned, as a Chinese football person, what qualifications do you have to be arrogant in front of Japanese football, which is stronger than us. They also feared that Chang Sheng's move would offend Japan and further strain Sino-Japanese relations......
“…… Sports are the best way for people-to-people exchanges and to spread peace. China-Japan relations are now at a new stage, and I think we can take more responsibility for people-to-people exchanges...... Football is a great way to do it. But Chang Sheng's provocative behavior is really very irrational. He himself was quick for a while, but he put aside the overall situation of Sino-Japanese relations...... Where does the Japanese people's impression of China come from? Isn't it from us Chinese? What are you like, what is China like in other people's minds...... Every Chinese outside should keep in mind. I represent the image of China! Your words and deeds will also make others have a bad association with your motherland. Chang Sheng is so arrogant, how will those ordinary people in Japan view China? Will they think that the Chinese are just as rude and uneducated as Chang Sheng? ”
This is a column published in a certain influential metropolitan newspaper in the south, and the people who wrote this kind of article were not the editors and reporters of the newspaper, but they asked some celebrities with a certain degree of social influence. Generally speaking, cultural scholars, media elites, lawyers and professors are the same. They promote their ideas by publishing articles in influential media.
It stands to reason that football is something they won't touch. Because few of these people really understand football.
So when Chang Sheng slapped the faces of the two countries in Italy and Spain, they never said anything.
But this time, perhaps the Sino-Japanese issue is easier to attract attention, so some people hit Chang Sheng's body with the idea of hyping up this topic. Step on the victory to promote yourself.
It's a pity that people who think this way don't know enough about Chang Sheng and find the wrong opponent......
※※※
In fact, the Japanese media's criticism of Chang Sheng did not take Chang Sheng to heart. The position of the Japanese media naturally has reason to criticize him, although this reason is often very disdainful. But everyone is an enemy, so it's normal to scold him. It's like he scolds each other.
But when he saw the comments of the Chinese media and experts. He was really angry.
Lao Tzu just played a game with the Japanese team, and if he said something before the game to boost morale and show confidence, how could he give Shanggang an online line to this point?
You call me arrogant?
Then I'll be arrogant!
Are you afraid that I will stimulate Sino-Japanese relations?
Hey. I didn't expect I to have so much energy! Then I will stimulate Sino-Japanese relations!
Anyway, even if there is no Lao Tzu, in a few years it will become more and more nervous because of the Diaoyu Island incident.
Chang Sheng's stubborn temper has come up, and he still has to be arrogant in front of Japan, and show off his martial arts once.
I'll do whatever you worry about!
What you are afraid of me to do, I must do!
※※※
At Lazio's pre-match press conference against Gamba Osaka, Chang Sheng scolded the Chinese media and experts who were busy dismantling him behind his back in his native language.
"Lao Tzu is fighting on the front line, and you guys are fucking destroying your own morale in the back? He kept buttoning my hat, for fear that I would annoy the Japanese foreigners. Even the charge of tension between China and Japan has been charged with me? If it is really Lao Tzu's words that can make Sino-Japanese relations tense, this fragile relationship should not be done! I'm still provoking the Japanese, you have the ability to scold my national sinner at home! It's been 53 years since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was won, and some people are kneeling? A bunch of neurotics! ”
A group of Chinese reporters were scolded by Chang Sheng so much that they couldn't even lift their heads.
Many of them disagree with the southern media, believing that the southern media is too up-to-date, criticizing the Cultural Revolution all the time, but playing the Cultural Revolution is particularly pure...... But who calls them all Chinese journalists? People disdain to name names, so naturally they scolded them together.
Just like everyone always likes to scold Chinese football, but in fact, there are people like Chang Sheng in Chinese football, there are also ordinary Chinese fans who love football, and there are ordinary people who just like to play Chinese football. But when everyone scolds Chinese football, they will not single out these people and then scold them, and they will all scold them together.
You don't have a place to cry out.
Because Chang Sheng spoke his native language, not many of the reporters present, except for Chinese reporters, could understand it.
Everyone just watched Chang Sheng suddenly get angry and talked a lot.
I don't understand it, but I don't think it's a good word.
After scolding the Chinese reporters, Chang Sheng began to accept questions from other reporters.
A Japanese reporter wanted to embarrass Tsunekatsu, so he deliberately asked him what he was talking about just now.
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the Japanese reporter with a wicked smile: "Are you sure you really want to know what I just said?" ”
The Japanese reporter didn't expect Tsunekatsu to ask such a rhetorical question, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this was an encounter.
It's Chang Sheng and his confrontation.
If he says he doesn't want to know. That's a loss.
At Narita Airport, one of his female counterparts had already been defeated by Tsunekatsu. He couldn't admit it at this time, so he nodded: "Yes, I think everyone wants to know." ”
After speaking. He also looked at his Japanese counterparts around him and behind him.
Chang Sheng smiled: "It's the first time I've seen someone take the initiative to scold." What did I say? I said a lot. But to sum it up, it means that I didn't pay attention to the Japanese team. Your Japanese media have criticized me for being arrogant and rude...... I want to thank you for your compliments to me. Thank you. ”
After hearing Chang Sheng's answer, the expression on the Japanese reporter's face froze and he looked very embarrassed.
It was perhaps the most explosive press conference in the history of the Club World Cup......
※※※
Chang Sheng's words at the pre-match press conference have been rendered and processed by the Japanese media. After that, it caused great indignation among Japanese fans.
On the day of the match, when the bus called Lazio arrived at the stadium, many Japanese fans gathered there, chanting all kinds of anti-Lazio, anti-win, anti-talk slogans.
There were even Japanese fans who burned several Chinese flags.
The scene was a little chaotic for a while.
The Lazio players couldn't help but frown when they saw this - these Japanese fans are really unfriendly......
Of course, they don't quite understand why Japanese fans have such a big opinion of the boss.
Even if the boss's big mouth says something controversial...... But which team is not like this for the boss? Why don't you see fans of other teams doing this kind of thing?
They are not Chinese, and it is naturally difficult for them to understand the historical enmity between the two countries, Japan and China.
Extreme fans aren't just Lazio. Any country has extreme fans, and Japan is no exception.
There are even politicians who are using these extreme fans to achieve their right-wing political views.
These right-wing extreme fans, in fact, don't care whether Chang Sheng said something that offended their Japan, who called Chang Sheng Chinese?
You came to Japan as a Shina person. Just keep a low profile, but it's still so high-profile, who do you smoke if you don't smoke?
Chang Sheng watched as Japanese fans burned the five-star red flag outside the bus, just one window away from him.
Gao Hongbo secretly glanced at Chang Sheng at this time, and found that he was expressionless, and he didn't mean to be moved at all.
Although he has been with Chang Sheng for two months, he feels that he does not know Chang Sheng well enough.
He didn't understand what Chang Sheng was thinking now.
But anyway, it's a little disgusting to see those Japanese fans who are holding the Rising Sun Flag and then burning the Chinese flag.
※※※
During the warm-up, the Lazio players were booed by the Japanese fans.
But this kind of boo, Lazio players are used to it.
Because there is a boss, they go to play away from home wherever they want, and they are basically treated like this.
After getting used to it, I didn't think this kind of boo was a big deal.
As their boss said, let them shush, their boos can't hurt a single hair of their hair.
Moreover, the boos of the Japanese fans today are simply weak compared to the boos of the Italian fans!
Can this be called boo?
It's almost ...... tickle
※※※
The players from both sides finished their warm-up and returned to their respective dressing rooms.
Here, they will make the final preparations for this line of competition.
Gamba Osaka's head coach looked excited.
Because he realized that his team could work wonders in this game.
He didn't really expect his team to make it to the final if he had played the whole game, and he had no hope of that result from the day he drew Lazio.
But when Tsunekatsu made all the way through the airport, constantly making all kinds of provocative remarks against Japanese fans and expressing their disdain for Gamba Osaka, it made him realize that maybe the opportunity had come.
The opponent's contempt and provocation not only angered the Japanese fans, but also angered the players of Gamba Osaka, how can they say that they are also the champion team of this year's AFC Champions League, everyone is the champion team of the continent, and they are so looked down upon, how can the players of Gamba Osaka swallow this breath?
So Osaka steel bus gas is high.
In addition, judging from the winning attitude, the Lazio players despise Gamba Osaka.
The morale of his side is high, and Lazio's side is proud and underestimates the enemy, and he doesn't take Osaka Gamba seriously.
Isn't this the perfect opportunity for you?
"This is a great opportunity to prove the strength of Japanese football! Yes, they look down on us, but now we have such a chance! The only way to earn respect in the face of a powerful enemy is to ...... Beat them! ”
Gamba Osaka's head coach looked excited.
Of course, no one would see him as a monster, because Gamba Osaka's players were also excited.
They were also dissatisfied and indignant at Chang Sheng's various remarks before the game. Of course, they don't burn the flag, but they can slap the winning side with goals and wins!
Tell him, don't go crazy in front of us!
※※※
On the other hand, in Lazio's dressing room, the words of winning are simple.
It didn't even incite people.
He just said to his players: "I know now our opponents must think we're underestimating our pride and they think it's a great opportunity. The Japanese fans in the stadium will also be very enthusiastic to support them, so that they can press out and fight us. And what about us? We welcome such teams to the field, educate them well, and let them clearly see the gap between Japanese football and the top European football! ”
