Chapter 173: Voting with Your Feet (Thank you to the new alliance leader for having books to read every day!) )

After knocking out Fiorentina to reach the last four of the Coppa Italia, Lazio will meet their old rivals Inter Milan in the semi-finals.

The other semi-final was for Roma to take on Udinese.

It shouldn't be a problem to beat Udinese to reach the final with Roma's quality.

In this case, if Lazio can beat Inter Milan and reach the final.

Then the Coppa Italia will be a Rome derby at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome!

It's a really interesting gimmick.

The media is starting to look forward to it.

Chang Sheng also thinks it's a good idea.

It was so creative to beat Roma in the Coppa Italia final!

Of course, first they have to win against Inter Milan.

Although Lazio, who have been winning regularly this season, have beaten Inter Milan once in the league, the league is not the same as the Coppa Italia.

The four teams that have now reached the semi-finals are all hoping to win the title. Even Udinese, the weakest, has such thoughts.

For Inter, if Mourinho realises he can't win in the league, he may change his goals.

He's in Porto and Chelsea, and that's the rhythm of at least one title a year. But when Inter Milan came, the golden body was broken. Last season's league title was not snatched, and this season's Italian Super Cup is gone.

Now that the league title looks hanging in the balance this season, it looks like it's easier to leave only one Coppa Italia.

Anyway, now he needs a championship. Only a champion will be able to stabilize his position.

If he still wants to continue to be the manager of Inter Milan......

Chang Sheng can imagine that he will face a crazy resistance from Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia.

But he was fearless.

In the twenty-first round of the league, Lazio hosted Chievo.

This game is the second of three home games that have been suspended.

It's still an empty stadium with only the visiting fans, but the Lazio players don't have much to adjust to.

They got into the game from the very beginning.

Edinson Cavani soon scored the leading goal for Lazio.

But the most striking thing about this game was not the game itself, but off the pitch.

It was the first home game after Lazio's indoctrination fans called on other Lazio fans to join them against the club.

This contest is an opportunity to test how many supporters the Unteachable has won.

The uninculcatables also came outside the Stadio Olimpico before the game, and they were the same as the rest of the Lazio fans. No entry is allowed.

They didn't want to go in either.

Instead, banners and slogans were torn up in the square, and slogans against Lotito and Chang Sheng began to be chanted.

They're putting pressure on the ordinary, non-extreme fans to switch to non-teachability rather than permanence.

But unfortunately, when they chanted slogans, there were few responses.

These ordinary Lazio fans knew they couldn't get in. But still coming outside the stadium, which in itself is a support for the club and the team.

They have to play side by side with their team, not in the stands, but also in the closest place to the team!

When Edinson Cavani opened the scoring for Lazio, the Lazio fans, who had been picked up on the Tongguo radio outside the stadium, erupted in loud cheers.

It's like they're watching the ball from the stands.

Their cheers were so loud that they were heard by the Lazio players and coaches inside even through the walls of the stadium.

Although it was a little smaller, it was indeed the cheers of the Lazio fans.

Standing on the sidelines, Chang Sheng pointed behind him to show the Lazio players on the field.

He told them with this action. In fact, you are not alone, your supporters are still with you.

Sure enough, the Lazio players heard the cheers and their morale was boosted.

As for the more than a thousand Chievo fans in the stadium...... Who cares about them?

The commentator Careza was surprised: "The Lazio fans gathered outside the stadium and did not leave, when the game started, they were waiting outside. I'm sure they're the real Lazio fans as they are often called. And not those rat-poop-like Lazio fans! ”

Caressa, the gold medal commentator, also made no secret of his dislike for the extreme fans of the uninculables.

Although Lazio can still defend the dignity of Italian football in the Champions League, it is an immutable fact that the influence of the Italian league in Europe is declining day by day, and the Italian league itself is facing big problems.

League attendance is decreasing year by year. The club's financial struggling to make ends meet is serious and the fans' enthusiasm for football is waning.

In addition to Inter Milan and Lazio. When other teams play at home, the huge stadium is basically more than half empty.

The reluctance of the fans to come to the stadium is a direct manifestation of the decline of Italian football, and it is also the most fundamental manifestation.

Why would fans be reluctant to come to the game?

There are many reasons for this.

The first is of course the well-developed television broadcast in Italy, where a match can be broadcast live on several television stations, in addition to various highlights and analyses. Fans can watch the game from home, reducing the cost of him going to the game.

Because Italy's economic situation is deteriorating year by year, if everyone is not having a good time, naturally there is no spare money to spend on leisure and entertainment.

The second is that most of the stadiums in Serie A are dilapidated and the facilities are outdated. Not to mention the safety hazards of watching football in such a stadium. There's nothing to enjoy yet. If you go to the toilet, you will find that there are eight bad urinals in one toilet. Who wants to go?

The problem of the stadium is related to the special context of Italian football, which involves the contradiction between the club and the city council of the owner of the stadium.

The third reason is why Careza hates extreme fan groups like the Unteachables.

The violence on the pitch made many people reluctant to go to the stadium to watch the game. People just want to go to the stadium on the weekend with their mates and families to watch a football game and cheer on their team, but they don't want to throw their lives on the line.

Those extreme fans, especially the notorious extreme ones, are full of aggression during the game. You don't even know what you did that annoyed them, and they're going to beat you up, which is pretty light. Otherwise, go to God.

The problem of violence on the pitch in Italy is endless, as a football hooligan on the same level as England, English football knows how to rectify, what does Italian football have? There is only indulgence and complicity.

In April 1962, the first fan in the history of Italian football to die as a result of football violence occurred. Salernitana in the Italian third division at home against Potenza. When Portenza was awarded a penalty, the team's supporters rioted over displeasure. The police were forced to open fire during the clashes. Fifty-seven people were injured, and Praitano became the first person in the history of the Apennines to lose his life as a result of football violence.

From that day on, Pandora's box was opened.

Rome vs. Lazio, Rome derby, October 28, 1979. A group of Lazio fans were attacked in the stands by fireworks projected by Roma fans, and the 33-year-old Paparelli was killed instantly after being hit, and the killer turned himself in a year later.

On 22 March 1982, Roma lost away to Bologna. A 14-year-old Roma fan was killed when a 14-year-old Roma fan burned a train on their way back to Rome.

February 8, 1984, after the Coppa Italia match Udinese vs. Tristina. A twenty-year-old fan named Fran was arrested during the clash but was released immediately, began a coma the next day, and died twenty-one days later.

On September 30, 1984, in Serie A AC Milan vs. Cremona, 21-year-old Milan fan Foncese was stabbed to death by an 18-year-old Centrone, who was also a Milan fan, and the former was mistaken for a visiting team fan by the murderer.

On October 9, 1988, Ascoli hosted Inter Milan. Inter fans laid siege to home fan Filippini with sticks and stones after the game. He died eight days after his injuries.

The 1995 riots, the first time in Serie A history, were suspended due to violence on the pitch and it was Genoa's home game against AC Milan. Twenty-four-year-old Genoese fan Spagnolo was stabbed to death by Milan fan Barbaria during a pre-match clash. The murderer actually hid the knife under the red and black scarf. The captains of both sides agreed to terminate the game at half-time, with the referee and the Football Association giving permission, and the entire Serie A round a week later was postponed for two weeks.

The Italian island of Sicily has been one of the hardest hit by football violence, with 24-year-old home fan Curro being hit by a bomb during Messina's Sicilian derby against Catania in 2001 and has been in a coma. He died fifteen days later.

In 2003, Avilino vs. Napoli, home fan Partenio was chased by a group of Napoli fans, he fell from the third floor of the stands and died two days later.

January 27, 2007. In the Italian D League, Samartinis vs. Cancherese, players and fans of both sides clashed in the middle of the field. Forty-four-year-old Samatinis' manager Riculsi came into the pitch to persuade him, but was killed by a head kick from an opposing player and a fan.

……

The above bloody is just the tip of the iceberg of Italian football riots and stadium violence.

In Italy, watching football has become more and more of a high-stakes pastime, so who wants to die on the spot?

No one came to the stadium to watch the game, and the level of Italian football could only get lower and lower.

Careza is therefore a strong supporter of Lazio FC's own clean-up.

※※※

While the Lazio fans cheered and jumped outside the stadium, the faces of the unindoctrination extreme fans were very ugly.

They shouted slogans outside the stadium for a long time, but they didn't attract the support of these people.

However, as soon as Lazio scored a goal on the radio, these people were excited.

Obviously, these Lazio fans have voted with their feet, and they have chosen to stand with the winner!

For the first time, the unteachables, who are used to running rampant in Lazio's fan base, feel that they might lose......
