Chapter 144: The boat capsized in the gutter
Roma were exposed at Old Trafford. They became the laughing stock of the whole of Europe for a while.
But that's not the deadliest of all.
The most lethal thing was that Chang Sheng spoke about the Roma game in an interview with reporters the next day.
Journalists know about the feud between Tsurotan and Rome.
This kind of thing is naturally indispensable to win. His comments on his personal website last night have been reprinted by the media. But that's not enough!
So the media ran directly to find Chang Sheng.
They just wanted to hear what Chang Sheng had to say.
After the tour, reporters surrounded Chang Sheng, who insisted that he talk about last night's game.
Chang Sheng didn't really want to answer at first. Yesterday he was high drunk and had some drunken gaffes. That's why I posted that.
But now he was sober.
"Strange, you should ask Sensi, Bardini, Spalletti about this, but there's no reason to ask me......" he shrugged and spread his hands.
"Hey, Spalletti didn't say anything interesting about you!" Someone among the reporters said.
The reporters around him laughed - true and sincere.
So Chang Sheng asked the reporter rhetorically: "Do you really want to listen to my opinion?" ”
It's not just this one reporter, all the reporters are nodding: "I really want to listen!" ”
So Chang Sheng coughed: "Listen, my opinion is...... I'm going to give you a joke that one day, Roma will play in the Champions League...... Hahahahaha! ”
A group of reporters looked at each other.
The true or false laughter......
※※※
Rome returned home in disgrace amid the usual triumphant ridicule.
Those Roma fans did not come out arrogantly to refute Chang Win.
This game is just too humiliating......
Even if you are ridiculed, you deserve it. Even the Roma fans themselves want to mock the team viciously......
They were also eliminated from the competition, and now it seems that Inter Milan and Roma are both disgraced and thrown home.
Only Lazio's defeat was still glorious and was praised by the whole of Europe.
That's the gap......
At this time, Roma fans can only be able to clamp their tails and be people.
If you want to run to provoke Chang Sheng, you can only bring humiliation on yourself......
Roma fans hate to win, but they are not fools. Know when you can go for the trouble of winning and when you can't.
This standard is not based on morality and conscience.
Rather, it's just a matter of whether it's good for them or not.
It is clear that this is not the time to be provocative.
※※※
The crushing defeat at Roma seems to be a testament to the decline of Italian football.
Now there is only one team left in the Champions League, AC Milan.
And Roma's heavy defeat for Chang Sheng is that he can finally stop caring about the Champions League.
He can put all his mind into the league.
Next is the 33rd round against Fiorentina, the home of Lazio.
In the first half of the league, Prandelli's Fiorentina beat Lazio 2-1.
Fiorentina also showed excellent form in this game.
Lazio are in better form than they are, though.
From the start of the game, Lazio stormed the Fiorentina goal.
Eleven minutes into the game, Lazio, who were playing at home, scored a goal!
"Falcao - !!"
The stands of the Olympic Stadium resounded with the roars of the fans: "Tiger!! ”
"Tiger" Falcao put David on the head in front of the goal. Silva's cross goes into the back of the net.
※※※
After conceding the goal, Fiorentina launched a counter-attack. and equalised in the 27th minute.
However, before the end of the first half, Lazio scored another goal to re-establish the lead.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Lazio's offensive continued unabated.
In the 60th minute, they scored their third goal of the game.
Fiorentina pulled another goal back in the 70th minute.
The score became 3:2 and Lazio took the lead.
Watching the swallows will be another tough victory......
But this time. Today's Lazio had a week's rest, completely different from the tired division of the previous game.
So they scored their fourth goal of the game in the 77th minute.
In the end, Lazio beat Fiorentina 4-2 at home.
Disappointing those who hoped they would be double-killed by Florence.
In the same league round, Inter Milan beat Siena 2-1 away from home.
The difference between the two teams is still seven points.
With five rounds of the league remaining, a win of just three more games would see Lazio win the title two rounds earlier.
And there is less and less time left for Inter......
※※※
Fiorentina were not able to successfully stop Lazio, much to the disappointment of many.
But they didn't give up.
Next up is the Rome derby.
Roma is the home turf. Lazio away. One less Jose. Passarella, Roma can always win this time, right?
They were disappointed again......
Roma played 1:2 with Lazio at home, and Roma lost again!
Isn't it normal to say what surprised you when you win after a game?
Same round of the league. Inter Milan beat Empoli 3-1 at home.
The two sides are still seven points apart.
※※※
The thirty-fifth round became important.
Lazio naturally want to win, and Inter must win too.
In this way, they will have the hope of keeping the suspense of the championship alive until the 36th round. When the time comes, they will face Lazio at home.
This is their last last last battle.
If they can beat Lazio at home, they will at least have a chance to complete the comeback. Even if it's just theoretically possible. So the match was considered a decisive battle by Mancini, who prepared a detailed plan without Jose. Pasarella, who is convinced that Ibrahimovic can finally break his curse of not scoring for his winning teams......
But if they can't win the 35th round and Lazio do, then any plan for a decisive battle will be in vain.
May 5th. In the thirty-fifth round of the league, ten league games start at the same time.
Lazio beat Wano 5-0 at home.
Their powerful attack power is fully displayed.
Their lead was so great that the referee didn't even score even a second of stoppage time.
As soon as the 90-minute game time arrived, the whistle blew for the end of the match.
However, the Lazio fans were not in a hurry to cheer.
They all stayed in their places, quietly waiting.
The Lazio players did not return to the dressing room after shaking hands with the Livorno players, but continued to stay on the pitch.
They are waiting for the result of Inter Milan's away match against Messina.
In the previous games, things were not good for Inter.
They were 1-0 down to Messina away.
So the Lazio players are waiting for the game to be over there.
If Inter Milan are sure to lose to Messina, they can start cheering for the league title.
The difference of 10 points was in the end when there were only three games left. It's an insurmountable chasm.
The big screen at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome began to broadcast the score in real time.
Because in Italy, all Serie A broadcasts are pay-TV programs, and public television stations are not allowed, so the big screen at the Olympic Stadium naturally cannot directly cut the live video signal of the game.
So you can only make a score display card.
On the big screen, the real-time scores of Inter Milan and Messina were played.
Because it's a simultaneous race. So that game also just went into stoppage time.
When the score came out, there was a cheer from the Olympic Stadium.
Because the score is still ...... 1:0! Messina, who is playing at home, leads!
※※※
Mancini's face was pale, and I could understand his expression. I don't feel sympathy, though. Because this is what Inter Milan did for themselves! From the start, Inter Milan had a bad attitude, their minds were on the game against Lazio a week later, but they ignored the enemy in front of them. They thought they could easily beat Messina. But don't forget, Messi Naco is also a relegation team! ”
The commentator is complaining about Inter Milan.
Before this round of the league. Messina has 28 points, four points shy of Chievo, who are 17th in the league. They are not like Ascoli, who have already confirmed early relegation, and they still have hopes of relegation.
They beat Atalanta 1-0 at home in the last round, and the confidence and morale of the whole team were boosted.
So don't look at them as the second-to-last. But in reality, they should not be underestimated.
※※※
After three minutes of stoppage time, the whole Inter Milan team went crazy and launched a fierce attack on Messina's goal.
And Messina didn't want to attack anymore and recycled all the way. Hold on.
Anyway, they had a goal ahead.
"Inter Milan have attacked." In the coach's seat, assistant coach Rudy wears headphones and listens to the radio. Gonzalez said to Tsugatsu.
Chang Sheng nodded. Say you know.
The same message seemed to have been received in the stands, the previous cheers were gone, and the huge Olympic Stadium was quiet, as if a pin could be heard.
If Inter Milan equalis, they still have a theoretical chance of winning the title, and in the end they will have to fight it out with Inter Milan.
So the best result is that Messina beats Inter Milan, and a difference of 10 points can allow Lazio to win the championship three rounds in advance.
Messina and Inter Milan had three minutes of stoppage time, and people at the Stadio Olimpico have never felt like three minutes were so long......
※※※
When the three-minute stoppage time came, the referee didn't blow the whistle for the end of the game right away.
So there was a huge boo from both stadiums at the same time.
Fortunately, just half a minute later, Inter Milan failed to attack, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!
"The game is over!! Incredible! Messina beat Inter Milan 1-0 at home!! ”
The narrator exclaimed.
At the same time, at the Olympic Stadium, there were also huge cheers.
"Hooray! We are the champions!! ”
Last season, although according to the regulations of the Italian Football Federation, Lazio was finally crowned.
However, Lazio fans did not feel it deeply. This championship is dispensable for them, and it has no presence.
It's because of the lack of a scene like today - everyone cheers for the champion and vents their feelings together after a nervous wait.
It's a lot better than hearing about Lazio winning the league title on the sports news on TV for the first time in three months!
The fans in the stands waved their arms, hid their feet, and howled in a tsunami.
Lotito, who was on the podium, jumped up from his seat, raised his arms high, looked up at the sky, and howled.
The Lazio players rushed onto the pitch, they ran and let off steam.
Chang Sheng was directly hugged by the coach next to him.
Everybody was crazy.
"Thank you Messina!"
"Thank you Inter!"
The stands rang out with the shouts of Lazio balls.
It's a pity that Inter couldn't hear it, otherwise Mancini might have vomited blood......
In the previous TV show, didn't there be Inter Milan fans who ridiculed the winning Lazio as capsizing in the gutter?
Well, now they capsized in the gutter themselves......

ps, thank you for being the twenty-seventh leader of this book with different moods! When I woke up yesterday morning, I saw your redness and intimacy, and I clicked the refining operation to delete......
I'm so sorry!
