Chapter 197: It's a Reincarnation (7/21)
Ahead of the match against Chelsea, Lazio also have to travel to Juventus to take on Juventus.
If Lazio can win this game, they can step on Juventus to win the championship three rounds in advance.
This scene is really a cycle and a cycle.
Because in Chang Sheng's first season in charge of Lazio, Juventus also had a chance to step on Lazio to win the championship in advance.
As a result, it was disrupted by Lazio. Benzema's goal put an end to Juventus' idea of stepping on their bodies to win the title early.
Later, the phone gate broke out, and Juventus' league title was split directly to Lazio.
This has kept Juventus haunted.
Although there are a lot of transfer deals between the two clubs, this does not affect the lingering.
Juventus fans are even more concerned.
If you want to say that their number one death in the past two years, it must not be Torino, nor Inter Milan, but Lazio.
They have always attributed Lazio's current results to the 2005-2006 league title. It is precisely because of that league title that Lazio has entered the fast lane of development.
And Chang Sheng also has an attitude of "Lao Tzu is not rare", which makes Juventus fans even more unhappy - you and him are not rare, we are rare! There is a kind of you asking the Football Association to give us back the league championship!
Moreover, Lazio has been able to sweep their opponents in Serie A in the past two years, and Juventus fans also believe that it is because Juventus has been relegated. It's as if Serie A lost their king and fell into a chaotic battle for supremacy, and there were no heroes at the time, so the shaft became famous.
If Juventus doesn't relegate and fall apart, how can Lazio have a place?
They always believe that Lazio's current results are all due to the collapse of Juventus, so Juventus fans have always disdained Lazio and looked down on Chang Win.
Even if they lost 3-1 away to Lazio, it didn't change their mind.
Now they finally have a chance to prove what they want and complete the most perfect revenge.
Lazio's championship this season seems to be out of the question, and Juventus can't stop it. But at the very least, Juventus can keep Lazio from stepping on their corpses......
It was a symbolic game.
Juventus fans feel that even if their team is relegated, they are still the kings of Italian football.
It's a contest between an old king who has been reborn from hell and a rebel!
It was the end of a grudge.
The old king wants to reclaim his throne through this game.
They are convinced that they can do it.
Lazio started their dynasty by a surprise victory over Juventus at the Estadio Alpi three years ago.
Now it's Juventus' turn to get back what they've lost!
So before the game, both clubs were quite restrained, but the fans frequently clashed with each other.
Juventus fans chanted before the game: "We are going to make the Alpi Stadium hell!" We're going to let Lazio have the courage to come in and get out! ”
There are also Juventus fans who only made promotional videos, and then put them on the Internet for people to watch and download, which is motivating.
The promotional video is based on the story between Lazio and Juventus about two early titles.
The first story is of course that Juventus want to beat Lazio at home and win the Serie A title in the 2005-2006 season.
The second story is the current game.
In the video, the scene of Benzema scoring the Juventus goal is played repeatedly.
Change the voice of the commentators of each TV station.
In the end, the picture fades out and comes out of the black curtain. In the dark is a row of words.
"If you remember how it felt, come to the Stadio Alpi and let's get this debt back from Lazio!"
Bloody fonts, and special effects of blood dripping down.
In the face of Juventus' tough attitude, Lazio fans also fought back.
Lazio's ultra-rightist group "Unteachables" declared that they would face Juventus fans at the Alpi Stadium: "We will let them know who is the king of Italian football!" Juventus are outdated, they should have gotten to the second division a long time ago! ”
Fans on both sides even started scolding each other online.
The attention of this game can be seen.
The Turin police have made elaborate arrangements to deploy additional police forces to patrol and defend the perimeter of the stadium to avoid bloodshed.
In Italian football, riots between football hooligans are common, and bloodshed of all kinds is endless.
Among them, Lazio's "unteachable" fans are the main force.
Wherever there are "unteachables", there can be bloodshed and danger, as well as chaos.
They are notorious in Italy like demons who specialize in bringing calamity.
In fact, neither Chang Sheng nor Lotito had a good impression of them.
Lotito had a hostile relationship with the "unteachables", and Chang Sheng was not salty or indifferent to them, never talking openly about them, and never coming into contact with their people.
But the unindoctrination party is quite amiable to win often, too
Respect his choice and did not come to bother him. It's just that Lotito is a mortal enemy on both sides......
※※※
The game against Juventus is fast approaching.
From the moment Lazio warmed up at the Alpi Stadium, they felt the malice of the Juventus fans.
The "unteachable" Lazio fans were concentrated in a corner on the top floor of the stands, with no flags, no slogans, nothing but them.
Juventus fans guarded the entrance of the passage for Lazio fans, and confiscated all the flags and slogans they carried.
As a result, two skirmishes broke out between the two parties.
It was only after the police intervened that they separated. But the Turin police also did not allow Lazio fans to slack off on flags, flagpoles, slogans, banners and incendiary flares.
When Lazio fans asked the Torino police why Juventus fans could swagger with these things, Juventus fans chanted: "Because this is our home stadium!" ”
The Turin policeman next to him did not say anything, apparently acquiescing to this behavior.
This is one of the manifestations of home field advantage.
So these Lazio fans can only compete with their enemies with their voices.
As the players entered the stadium to warm up, there was an overwhelming boo in the stands at the Alpi Stadium.
Naturally, these boos were directed at the Lazio players.
From the time they entered to warm up until they left, the boos basically didn't stop.
In order to avoid accidental injury, Juventus' warm-up was even staggered with Lazio.
Obviously, the Juventus team is aware of the fans' arrangements.
By the time the players returned to the dressing room, Chang Sheng was already there waiting for them.
"How's it going, how does it feel to be booed for more than ten minutes?" He asked his players. "I heard the boos in the dressing room. Congratulations, you all look fine. ”
With that, Chang Sheng began to pace around the locker room.
"Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of. We don't need to be afraid of a loser. The angrier the Juventus fans are, the more we hurt them in the first place, and that's our honour. Guys, you have the privilege of witnessing this with your own eyes and seeing how our opponents are driven crazy by us! ”
"In this game, the Juventus people were clamoring for revenge before the game. Then let them see how stupid it is to be arrogant without the strength to be backstage! This game, we must win! We are stepping on the throne of Juventus's corpse! We just want to do things that make the enemy hurt and the relatives happy! To hell with the old king's vengeance bitter play! ”

Juventus manager Sergio Ranie was also in the dressing room doing pre-game mobilization.
"Our fans are fighting for us and I don't think we should leave them alone, we should fight side by side with them. This game has a special meaning for you. Even though we're in fourth place after promotion, a lot of people look at us with skepticism. They feel that Juventus should be in decline, and even if they return to the first division, they will not be able to return to the title contenders. We really can't compete for the league title this season. But I think this game may be a signal to the world that Juventus is back! ”
Ranieri has a gentle personality and rarely says such things.
Today's game was so special, so he had to say something morale-boosting and encouraging.
※※※
From the beginning of the game, the two sides did not test each other at all, and directly began to bombard.
You come and go, showing your own skills.
Two former Lazio players, Melo and Lichtsteiner, were also featured in Juventus' starting line-up.
And he was entrusted with important tasks.
Melo was in charge of combing and sweeping in midfield.
This season, Melo has been heavily relied on by Claudio Ranieri to play as a transition between attack and defence.
With Chang Sheng's understanding of Melo, he naturally knows how to deal with Melo.
That's why Ranieri is in line with his intentions.
All you need to do is siege to Melo.
Of course, Melo has skills, not pure roughness. After all, it is a player from Brazil, no matter how rough it is, it is better than the rough buddies in the Chinese Super League.
He was not a pure playmaker or ball handler in the Lazio team either. Chang Win is more about making him a midfield sweeper to help Liverani and Modric at that time.
When he got the ball, he asked him to pass it quickly, not to take the ball more, and not to take the ball forward.
It was this strategy that resulted in Melo having six assists in a season.
Because he passes a lot, he can always get assists......
At Juventus, Melo is becoming more and more likely to play at the heart of the organization.
Maybe Ranieri didn't have any good midfielders to use, or maybe he was deceived by Melo's performance at Lazio, and felt that Melo could have six assists in a season and perform well in the game, so it should be okay to be a playmaker.
So in the last few games of the season, Melo has become more and more forward, and his role has changed from defense to attack.
That's what Lazio was key to the win......
