Chapter Eighty-Six: Victory is addictive

If anyone knew Slomka's thoughts and that phrase, they should start looking forward to a blood-boiling matchup.

For the sake of dignity, Schalke 04 launched a final desperate charge, while the winning Lazio will return the favor and attack Schalke 04.

Such a game will be a bloody battle of dignity!

But alas, they found the wrong opponent.

Chang Sheng doesn't play this game with them, he will always choose the plan that is more beneficial to him, a more secure plan.

So some people say that he is utilitarian in his bones, and that's really not wrong at all.

Seeing that Schalke 04 began to attack Lazio's defense regardless of the back, Chang Sheng did not heroically command his team to play against the opponent to satisfy their desire to "die with dignity".

Instead, he chose to recycle and fought a defensive counterattack!

There are so many empty spaces behind Schalke 04, and it is simply too violent to not have to defend and counterattack!

So in this way, Schalke 04, who launched a fierce charge towards Lazio with the idea of dignity, conceded two goals in a row in the last time and was poured 4:0 by Lazio!

They wanted to keep their negative image until they finally reversed, but Lazio didn't cooperate at all.

Instead, they completely shredded Schalke 04 with a utilitarian defensive counterattack, causing them to suffer even greater humiliation!

When David. By the time Silva scored the fourth goal for his side, the Schalke 04 players were already stunned.

※※※

When the 90 minutes were over, the referee didn't even give a minute of stoppage time. Just after entering stoppage time, the whistle blew for the end of the game.

No one even complained that he did not comply with the procedure.

Because even fools can see that Schalke 04 has no intention of fighting.

Ending the game early is a comfort to the losers and allows them to avoid continuing to be embarrassed in front of the public.

In fact, this is a typical embodiment of humanized law enforcement.

"It's over! Lazio beat Schalke 04 4-0 in the final! A devastating victory! Although Schalke 04 launched a fierce attack in the final stages of the match, it was already too late! Their counter-attack instead gave Lazio more chances to counter-attack...... The last two were scored during this time. ”

"Lazio won the UEFA Cup in 2005-2006! Congratulations! It was the first UEFA Cup title in their club's history! Seven years ago, they were beaten 3-0 by the star-studded Inter Milan in the UEFA Cup final. Now, now they've finally fulfilled that wish......"

"At a time when domestic football is in turmoil, Lazio's victory may be a consolation to Italian fans. Tell them that there are still Italian teams that are competitive in European football...... We have to applaud Lazio's victory. The 'phonegate' scandal was exposed before the game, which put the whole Lazio team under great pressure. However, they were not affected by this pressure during the game and the whole team performed normally. ”

Only the German commentators are complaining about Schalke 04.

"In the face of Schalke 04's dense defense, often chose a very bad way! I think Lazio won't win this game! This game would be a very bad example. Tell everyone, how to break the dense defense? It's as simple as kicking the soccer ball at the opposing player! This final is simply the ugliest game in the history of the UEFA Cup final! This championship is also the ugliest one! ”

But the complaints of the losers are not heard by the winners......

Chang Sheng had already stormed the pitch and hugged his players to celebrate the victory.

UEFA Cup Winner!

Before this season, when Lazio FC was on the verge of bankruptcy, the players fled the team in panic, who would have thought they could return to the top so quickly?

Oh no. It's not about getting back to the top. This is an even higher peak than the previous one!

Lazio have never won the UEFA Cup before.

Their only European title is a Cup Winners' Cup.

The Cup Winners' Cup UEFA has been cancelled, and now the European competition is the UEFA Cup and the Champions League, which are enough weight.

Lazio has now taken one.

They are just one side away from winning the Champions League. That goal seems too far away right now, so let's enjoy the joy of winning the UEFA Cup.

The players are celebrating.

Chang Sheng, but it is no longer one of them.

He dodged.

Yes, he was afraid of being thrown by these players again to play a game that he couldn't catch.

So everyone searched for a long time but couldn't find him.

He had gone back to the locker room.

This time. No one will choose to go back to the locker room, so it's safe here.

Sitting in an empty locker room, looking at the mess everywhere. In the pre-race preparations, it was very regular. Every player's clothes are neatly folded and placed on the bench, including boots, socks and even shin guards.

And now the paper cups littered everywhere, the piles of garbage cans, and the sweat-filled jerseys, socks, and even sneakers that the players changed at halftime are all thrown on the ground and scattered all over the ground.

That's what it means to be raw.

Chang Sheng sat in his chair and watched it all. The smug expression that he did not show in front of outsiders appeared on his face little by little.

Then he burst out laughing uncontrollably.

In fact, he has won the Champions League, so he shouldn't be so excited.

But think about it, what kind of team won the Champions League? It was a team that had spent three years of hard work in it, and it was mature and perfect from players to tactics.

And what does Lazio have?

It's only been a year since he took over the team, and many of the players have been put together on an improvised basis, they have never been exposed to their own tactics before, they are young, they are low-valued, and they are not well-known. In addition, Lazio's financial problems were much more serious than those of Valencia at the time.

With such a precarious team, there is no tomorrow in sight. But let himself wear the pinnacle of Europe.

Can he not feel a sense of accomplishment?

League Cup winners!

Lao Tzu finally has the League Cup champion on his honor book!

The two most valuable championships in European football have allowed themselves to get them!

He is one step closer to the top coach!

He is confident in his future, in the future of the team and even more so in the future of the club.

In the empty locker room, Chang Sheng celebrated.

※※※

Before the awards ceremony, Chang Sheng saw Lotito, and the president of the Lazio club's smiling facial features were squeezed together, like a child who had arrived at the gift of his dreams at Christmas.

Seeing Chang Sheng cast a gaze at him, Lotito gave him a thumbs up through the crowd.

Changsheng responded with a smile.

A championship honor. More than two million euros in prize money.

Lazio's financial crisis has eased a little more.

Once again, I proved how correct my choice was......

At this time, he rang out with his sworn enemy Rome in the same city, thought of Sensi, thought of Baldini.

He had to thank this sworn enemy. They have been enemies for so many years. This is perhaps the first time that Lazios have thanked Roma from the bottom of their hearts......

※※※

One by one, the players took the stage to receive their awards. The perennial win followed and walked on the podium ahead of the team's captain, Roki.

He received the gold medal from UEFA President Johansson the Big Fat.

This is the second time Johansson has presented him with an award, and it is impossible not to remember him as the youngest and most successful manager in European football at the moment.

So this time I have to talk to him.

"After you went to Rome, I thought you were going to disappear from the mainstream view, but I didn't expect it...... It's a pretty comeback, ever! ”

Johansson patted Chang Sheng's shoulder and said.

Chang Sheng smiled calmly: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. President." ”

"But I'm curious, ever. You are so young. has already won almost all the accolades that a manager can get. League champion, domestic cup champion. Champions League and UEFA Cup winners...... Except for the World Cup, I'm afraid it's impossible to satisfy you. So will you lose your thirst for titles and accolades? ”

"Mr. President, haven't you heard a word?" Chang Sheng did not answer the question, but asked rhetorically.

"What?"

"Victory is addictive." Chang Sheng smiled.

Johansson heard this. I was stunned.

By the time he reacted, Chang Sheng had already walked past him and shook hands with the other award presenters.

He turned his head to look at Chang Sheng's back, still chewing on what Chang Sheng said in his heart.

Some lost their minds. So much so that when Roki stood in front of him, happily waiting for him to present the award, he didn't react.

It wasn't until Roki couldn't wait any longer and shouted that Johansson came back to his senses, and then smiled apologetically at Roki.

When he hung the gold medal around Roki's neck, he asked, "Roki, do you think victory can be addictive?" ”

Roki was stunned by the question, he didn't understand why the UEFA president asked such a sentence.

Seeing Roki like this, Johansson also felt that his question was too abrupt, and people didn't understand it at all.

So he took the trophy from the podium next to him and handed it to Roki.

"Congratulations, you're champions! Now, you can hold it up high! ”

Roki had already reacted, and instead of rushing to take the trophy, he answered Johansson's previous question first.

"Yes, Mr. President. I want to be addictive. I love the feeling! ”

With that, he took the trophy from Johansson's hand, then turned around and held it aloft.

His teammates rushed over and waved to him, chanting, "We're fucking European champions!" ”

Johansson, behind the excited crowd, reminisced about Rocchi's words.

Then he looked at the excited faces of the people and laughed.

No wonder it was this team that won the League Cup.

When they entered the Toto Cup, no one could have imagined that they would eventually lift the trophy in another tournament......

"Congratulations Lazio! They have completed an incredible season! With a patchwork squad, it became the winner of the UEFA Cup and also finished second in Serie A...... I think I have added a strong and brilliant stroke to my coaching resume! As it turned out, he was a winner who could have won the title! ”
