Chapter 205: Low Tide (15/21)
That evening, the media throughout Italy reported on Lazio's exceptional triumph.
Some media praised the courage and audacity of Chang Wan. In many bloody clashes with fans, Lazio's "unteachable" fans are indispensable.
But Chang Sheng dared to call them idiots in front of them, and after teaching them a lesson, he swaggered away, and the Uninculpable did not take any drastic action......
It's incredible!
There are also media analysis of what Chang Sheng said, and I have to admit that although he spoke a little arrogantly, what he said basically made sense.
With Lazio's current financial situation, they had to sell players to pay off their debts. It's a fact, there's nothing to attack.
Moreover, it should be said that this debt was left by Craniotti, and now Craniotti went to the prison to pick up soap, but let the latecomers continue to pay this debt. It's a bit unfair to accuse Lazio of not being stingy.
The debt grew under Cragnoti, but it diminished year after Lotito became president of the club. This is a credit to Lotito.
Selling Falcao is also to pay off debts, which is very different from Udinese.
Voices of sympathy, understanding and support for the Lazio club began to appear in the media.
This made Pacheco grit his teeth with hatred, and today he is also in the media that "welcomes" Lazio, and when Chang Sheng goes to those extreme fans and calls them "idiots", how he hopes that the barbarians will rush up and knock Chang Sheng to the ground, and then slam on the hundreds of millions of feet......
It's a pity that Chang Sheng taught extreme fans a lesson in public, and then walked away unscathed!
That group of fans is so bad! It's often said right, they're a bunch of idiots! I was dumbfounded by the words that I said so easily!
If Chang Sheng had been up to me at the time, I would have made him speechless!
Pacheco is now struggling to write, typing a new op-ed on his keyboard.
He can't let this sympathy, understanding, and support for Lazio arguments spread, and he retorts the "" of Chang Sheng in a high-profile manner! He wants to let the extreme fans know that they did the right thing!
Why do you have to sell players to pay off your debts...... Then there is no need to sell the team's leading scorer!
You're selling other substitutes or players who aren't in important positions...... You sell the main shooter! That's irreplaceable, okay?
※※※
Pacheco's op-ed soon appeared in the Milan sports newspaper.
He took a stark stance against every word Chang Sheng said to those fans.
The core idea can be summed up in one sentence: "Even if it is to pay off debts, there is no need to sell the main shooter." The main scorer is an irreplaceable figure in the team, and selling him has his symbolic meaning, which means that your team lacks core competitiveness. There are fools who would sell players to pay off their debts at such a pace. ”
Chang Sheng ignored him, knowing that Pacheco was messing with Lazio's dressing room.
And he had already said everything he had to say, and there was no need to argue with Pacheco.
On top of that, there are some things that he can't say right now. He couldn't have said "I'm the only one in this team" when Falcao was still in the team, right? He couldn't have said "Falcao is the leading scorer, but I can produce more leading scorers if I want to......
So he only had silence.
As for the press conference, after the scene at the airport, Chang Sheng felt that there was no need to hold it again.
Anyway, the press conference was held to say these things, to tell everyone that we Lazio sold people out of helplessness, and if it wasn't for Cragnoti, he left a lot of bad debts, how could we be so tight-clothed?
As a result, these words, because of the unexpected incident, he said them to the extreme fans, and then through the spread of the media, these words can be seen by everyone in the newspapers, on TV and on the Internet, and he naturally does not need to hold a press conference to repeat them again.
He said everything he should have said, understood what he could understand, and pulled down what he couldn't, and he wouldn't kneel down and beg those people to understand.
The most important thing now is to prepare for the Champions League final.
Lazio's opponents in the Champions League final have been decided.
As the ever-winning team knows, United eliminated Barcelona 1-0 on aggregate over two legs to reach the Champions League final.
They were supposed to have an English civil war with Chelsea.
As a result, Chelsea were taken down by Lazio.
The Champions League final is played on 21 May at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium, 20 days away.
Chang Sheng is about to enter the days of watching videos day and night.

Before the Champions League final, Lazio still have three league games to play, and these three league games have nothing to do with the championship or the winner.
The perennial victory is purely those three games to train, to do warm-up games, and to adjust the condition of the players for the next Champions League final.
At the same time, there is an important task, these three games are also a punishment machine for those disobedient players
Yes.
The plan to kill chickens and show monkeys was officially launched.
In the second leg of the semi-final against Chelsea, although the result was irrelevant, by that time Rudy. Gonzalez still sat in the dugout and took notes very carefully.
Which players are not behaving properly, which players are absent-minded, and which players are preoccupied.
It's all on the list.
All the players who are on the list have to report to the reserves.
Before the start of training, Chang Sheng read out the list.
After reading the list, he said to the players whose names were read: "You are welcome to the reserves, guys. Since you're not willing to give it your all for the first team to win, I can only assume that you want to go to the reserves. Go to the reserves and report now. I'm giving you a week to reflect, and if you still don't show any signs of repentance, I don't mind excluding you from the Champions League final altogether. This is your first Champions League final! ”
Then the players who were called by name went to the reserve team with a sad face.
Many of the players on this list are key players. Despite the second leg against Chelsea, the winner was rotated and replaced with a large number of substitutes. However, the substitute players are much better than the main team. So they all work hard, but the main players think more.
Benzema is on that list.
The French were originally more loose and had a low level of discipline. So if there is any bad thing, Benzema is always indispensable.
Chang Sheng also knows Benzema's character, so he has always insisted on using a high-pressure policy against Benzema, using an iron fist against this talented but undisciplined player.
However, Chang Sheng also knows that this is not a long-term solution, and when Benzema becomes more and more famous, he will always be unable to stand his own way of dealing with children.
When the time comes, the contradictions will become more and more intense, and eventually ...... Turn against each other.
The best thing to do is to separate before the two sides completely turn on each other.
So this summer, Benzema will also have a great chance of leaving the team. It's not just the club that needs him to leave, he wants to leave himself.
With his young and promising achievements, there will definitely be countless giants vying for it. It's just that Falcao attracted his attention and firepower some time ago, but Chang Sheng knows very well that Benzema's agent has done a better job than Falcao's agent - he has not talked to the club about a contract extension at all, which does not mean that they will stay at ease until the contract expires.
On the contrary, it shows that they have already begun to plan for Benzema.
Chang Sheng doesn't feel regrets or pity or anything, because he will also make a lot of money on them, so that no one owes anyone.

In the 36th round of the league, Lazio hosted Palermo, and everyone will find that many main players did not appear in the starting list, not even in the squad.
This did not go unnoticed, as Lazio had just played a Champions League semi-final and it was normal for the main players to get plenty of rest.
Anyway, the league championship is won, even if you have some players from the reserve team and the youth team.
There is no need to register in advance for youth team players to play in the league, which also facilitates the use of young players by clubs.
In the end, Lazio, who had been lacking in running-in, lost 1-2 at home to Palermo.
But no one cares.
At home, there are still some fans who have slogans against Lotito and protest against the sale of Falcao, but such people are already in the minority.
Chang Sheng is right, everyone knows the financial situation of the Lazio club, and there is still a debt of 100 million.
If you don't sell players, do you want to sell teams?
Both Lotito and he were just kicking Kragnotti, the "best chairman" they missed, wiping their ass.
More Lazio fans were supportive of the team, and they put up more slogans at home to thank and celebrate Lazio's reach for the Champions League final.
It compensated for the regret that the Lazio players returned victorious, but did not enjoy the cheers and welcome at the airport.
"Thank you! You guys are the best! ”
"I'm so proud of you! Blue Eagle! ”
"Make history! You made history! ”
There were even some fans who put up signs thanking Falcao, and the game broadcast also gave close-ups.
"Thank you Tiger and good luck!"
Falcao scored a goal in the game, and after scoring the goal, he took off his shirt and rushed to the corner flag area, then knelt down and kissed the turf of the Olympic Stadium affectionately.
Although he has only been on this team for two years. But in two years, it was Lazio who turned him from an unknown nobody into a super-killer who shocked Europe.
Here he broke out of the cocoon into a butterfly and soared into the sky!
He loves this team, from the bottom of his heart and without hypocrisy.
And when Falcao did this, the stands once again rang out with "Tiger!" Tiger! Tiger!! The shouts.
Chang Sheng saw this scene, and he knew that the adverse reaction caused by the early exposure of Falcao's transfer was rapidly subsiding......
