Chapter 103: Don't give up until the last second
Although, perhaps, even Lazio's own fans do not think that Lazio still has any hope of winning the league title.
But Chang Sheng is always the last one to give up.
He didn't care how the home fans were going to see him off, and what was the sadness of parting.
He's still a league champion in his mind.
For him, there are 90 minutes left in the final game of the season, and those 90 minutes are the final battle. Even if you want to lose, you have to fight until the last second.
Before the game, Chang Sheng was still criticizing the Italian Football Federation's approach of favoring one over the other.
“…… I don't understand why we don't even have a spare trophy on our side? Is the Italian Football Federation hinting at something? I hope I'm wrong. ”
At the pre-match press conference, Chang Sheng kept a straight face and did not save face for the Italian Football Federation at all.
With his status in European football, especially Italian football, what he says will put a lot of pressure on the Italian Football Federation.
And the Italian Football Federation has really done a very bad job.
Even if Juventus are three points ahead of Lazio, Lazio look hopeless.
But at least Lazio still have theoretical hopes of winning the title.
So the Italian Football Federation completely ignored Lazio like this, it was really a bully.
Perhaps because Chang Win is leaving next season, Lotito is already about to sell his shares, and this club has to change from head to toe, so naturally there is no status to speak of.
But this feeling is understandable in private, and it is not normal to show it directly.
So as soon as Chang Sheng's criticism came out, the Italian Football Association immediately explained, saying that it was just a mistake in their work, not aimed at Lazio, and did not hint at anything.
At the same time, they said that they would send a spare trophy to Wanda Stadium immediately.
Chang Sheng didn't respond any more.
Follow the procedure. The real trophy goes to the team in the first place, and the reserve trophy goes to the team in the second place.
There is nothing wrong with this and it does not discriminate in the past.
If the Football Association had arranged it like this from the beginning, Chang Sheng would not even say a word.
He didn't have a glass heart to that point.
It's really the Football Association's practice of nakedly looking down on people, and it doesn't take his constant victory in his eyes.
He's so angry.
At least the momentum of the team can't be lost, you look down on me. I'm going to slap you in the face!

For the final home game, Wanda Stadium was packed early, almost full — almost because some of the seats were left empty, almost for safety reasons.
So it's not completely full.
But even so, today's game has already set a new record for the stadium.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "full".
Twenty minutes before the start of the game, the stadium gates were closed. Because all the fans with tickets have already entered.
The atmosphere in the stands was very lively.
The radio was playing the most popular hits of the moment, but the music was completely drowned out by the singing of the Lazio balls.
Lazio fans did not follow the songs on the radio, but wrote their own songs for the winners.
Popular players have one or several songs written by their fans.
Constant wins are no exception, and there are a lot of them.
Various. I use it at different times.
When they were ahead, the fans sang songs praising the winners.
When they were behind, the fans sang songs calling for victory.
In a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, the fans sang songs that joked with Chang Sheng.
This is the expression of the Lazio fans' love for the ever-winning.
In addition, the stands are also covered with all kinds of blessings and slogans, portraits and portraits of Changsheng.
The scene was spectacular.
There is no suspense in such a game, and everyone doesn't care about the league championship anymore.
They may even do it on purpose. Deliberately make the atmosphere of the scene a little more lively, a little more lively.
They hope to use such a strong farewell atmosphere to dilute the sadness of not winning the league championship.
I hope everyone's attention should not be on the league championship, but on saying goodbye to Chang Sheng.
The last home game, one less glance......
※※※
Just when everyone was busy creating the atmosphere at home, Chang Sheng was in the locker room. Say to your players: "...... It seems that only a miracle can make us win. But I'm the best at doing miracles, so I'm not giving up hope yet. What Juventus is like. We don't care, in the last game, we don't drop the chain ourselves. I'm such a person, I won't give up until the game is over, even if it's only a very small hope. Do your best, too. So not only are we going to win this game, we're going to win by a big score! Let everyone else see our belief in winning the championship! ”
In the eyes of the players, this is the boss's last home game, but he still prepares for the game without distraction, and his professionalism has put everyone to shame.
It's like the boss said. Don't give up hope until the last moment.
In this game, we must show our fighting spirit in Lazio!
The Lazio players, who had lost their fighting spirit because of the slim hope of winning the league title, have recovered.
This is the boss's last game at home, and what he most often emphasizes is the attitude of the game, so everyone's attitude towards the game must be correct!
※※※
The final round kicked off at the same time.
Ten Serie A stadiums blew the whistle at the start of the match at the same time.
The fateful ninety minutes began......
Lazio started the game with their powerful attacking momentum and scored a goal.
In the seventh minute, Lazio led 1-0 at home.
There was a cheer from the stands.
But the cheers were not for the goalscorer, but for the Lazio manager.
In the midst of the cheers, Chang Sheng's expression was very grim, and he did not smile at the team's goal.
In his opinion, goals and victories are taken for granted, and the only thing he cares about in this game is whether there will be a good result in the end, whether it will bring him a league title.
Hence directing the game. But in reality his mind was on another field, at Juventus' Estadio Alpi.
Sitting next to him was assistant coach Rudy. Gonzalez was wearing headphones and was listening to the live stream of the game over there.
And keep Chang Sheng informed of the match between Juventus and Cagliari.
"Neither side scored......"
"Juventus are attacking fiercely, Cagliari can only shrink the defensive ......"
"Doorposts! It's so dangerous, Juventus almost took the lead! ”
……
Something like this.
Chang Sheng was not smiling throughout the process.
What is the farewell ceremony of the last home game...... He wasn't in the mood to enjoy it at all.
Besides, if he doesn't leave, why not last in the end?
※※※
In the first half, Lazio scored four goals against Bologna.
And next door. It was still 0:0, and neither side scored.
If Juventus draws this game, it will also be the league champion.
So this score does not mean that Juventus are in danger, the key is to watch the course of the game.
At half-time, Chang Sheng simply laid out the team's tactics for the second half - that is, to continue to score, and to score as many goals as they could.
It's nothing to arrange, everyone knows how to score goals. The game went so smoothly that there was not much need for a manager.
Chang Sheng then left the time for the players to deal with themselves, and he ran out of the locker room with two assistant coaches. Studying the highlights of the first half match between Juventus and Cagliari on a computer.
After reading it, Chang Sheng frowned.
Juventus completely suppressed Cagliari in the first half and had numerous chances.
The lack of a goal may be due to Juventus being too relaxed.
But even so, a draw is perfectly acceptable to them.
If the second half had been like this, Juventus would have won the title.
In this way, Lazio's efforts are more like a futile exercise.
Rudy. Gonzalez looked at the ever-winning game.
He seems to be being consulted.
Chang Sheng frowned, and finally said, "No matter what, fight until the last second." ”
※※※
In the dressing room at Juventus. Prandelli was vocal critics of his team's performance, arguing they should have given Cagliari at least two goals ahead of them in the first half. But I'm still very happy inside.
Even if it's a draw, it's enough to suppress Lazio.
He has beaten Chang Win in the league title race for two seasons in a row, which gives him a sense of accomplishment.
The evil anger that was scolded as "junk food" by Chang Sheng back then was finally vented!
The atmosphere in the Juventus dressing room is also very relaxed.
The huge advantage in the first half, although it did not translate into goals, also gave Juventus a lot of confidence.
This shows that they can score whenever they want to.
The key depends on their mood.
So what if we didn't score in the first half?
We just scored a goal in the second half.
You don't have to win too much in this game, just win a goal. Relying on this one to press Lazio, how cool it is to be so cool!
As for the news that Lazio led Bologna by four goals in the first half, it was completely impossible to attract their attention.
※※※
The fifteen-minute intermission was fleeting.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Lazio, for their part, continued to storm Bologna. Bologna also knew that they were destined to be a supporting foil in today's game.
As this is the last home game for Lazio, his players will surely bid farewell to their boss with a hearty victory.
Bologna can only blame themselves for their bad luck. It was Lazio who met in the final round of the league instead of Juventus......
Juventus, on the other hand, still controlled the ball with ease, and then pressed Cagliari to play.
I didn't take this opponent who vowed to relegate in my eyes at all.
They only have champions in their eyes now!
Forty-five minutes are left to defend the league title.
There are forty minutes left until the defending league title.
Thirty-five minutes left to defend the league title......
This countdown occupies a big place in the hearts of every Juventus player. (To be continued......)
