After the end of the Champions League, it was the seventh round of the league, and Lazio met Fiorentina. 【r/>

This is a contest between master and apprentice.

In fact, it is not strictly a master and apprentice, because although Stramaccioni has worked in Lazio for many years, he has always been an independent academy director, and has not worked directly under Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng has never taught him anything, he can be the head coach of the first team entirely because he led the Lazio academy and performed well in the European Youth Champions Cup.

So it was favored by other teams.

He used to coach Inter Milan before leaving after a high start.

Later, he rested at home for a year, and then returned to the mountains to coach Florence.

Coaching in Fiorentina was much smoother.

Perhaps it was the defeat at Inter that gave him valuable experience.

Saying that Chang Sheng and him have a master-apprentice relationship is purely a gimmick hyped by the media.

And it's much simpler to say that than to explain the relationship between two people in detail.

So whether Stramacioni wants it or not, now everyone thinks that Chang Sheng is his teacher, and he is Chang Sheng's apprentice.

Stramacioni has also answered this question once, and he seems to be very open-minded in this regard.

"He's my teacher, and that's fine."

But in fact, it might be more accurate to say that the two of them are friends.

Italian football is not as customary in English football, and after the game, the managers of both sides will get together for a drink.

However, Chang Sheng and Stramaccioni have this habit.

When Stramaccioni was in charge of Inter Milan before, he played against Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng was never soft. So Stramaccioni didn't win a single time.

Of course, this has something to do with his own limited level. When he was in charge of Inter Milan, Inter Milan did not do very well.

Later, when he arrived in Florence, he played against Chang Sheng. The two sides have won and lost each other.

On the one hand, Lazio himself has fallen into a trough, and on the other hand, Stramaccioni himself has matured a lot.

What will happen this time around?

※※※

In the seventh round of the league, Lazio hosted Fiorentina led by Stramaccioni.

Fiorentina, who are ranked fifth, challenged Lazio in third place away, which can be regarded as a "strong dialogue", right?

But before the game. The atmosphere is very relaxed.

During his pre-match press conference, Stramaccioni joked with reporters: "Don't set a trap for me. I'm not going to have a war of words with him, that's a shame! I've played against Chang a lot of times, but we've always had a good relationship and I'm enjoying it. The opponents on the field are opponents, and off the field we are still good friends. ”

Naturally, the reporters also knew, so the questions they asked were not aggressive, and they did not deliberately step on one side and elevate the other.

Because they know it's pointless.

Actually, at the beginning. When Stramacioni just came out and flew solo. When I was in charge of Inter Milan. The media is keen to do that.

When Inter Milan led by Stramaccioni played against the winning Lazio for the first time, the media frantically provoked the relationship between the two and played right and wrong.

Attempts to incite hatred among each other. Then there is a fierce race like Mars hitting the Earth.

Then after the game, the two sides turned against each other, so that every time Stramaccioni and Chang Sheng played each other in the future. Everyone has something to talk about.

Of course, the game itself was intense and exciting.

Since Chang Sheng took charge of Lazio, the game between the two sides has always been like this.

In the end, Lazio beat Inter Milan at home.

However, the anti-rivalry drama that everyone expected was not staged.

After the match, Stramaccioni took the initiative to run to shake hands with Chang Sheng.

At the post-match press conference, the managers of both sides also praised each other, and there was absolutely no bad word.

Stramacioni also revealed a detail, that is, after the match, when he went up to shake hands with Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng took the initiative to invite him to have a drink with him after the match.

smashed all the rumors that disturbed before the game about the breakdown of the relationship between the two people.

Later, the media tried a few more times, and found that each time it was just to watch two people show their affection, so they gave up the idea.

By now, there will be no media trying to provoke the relationship between the two people, so this gimmick to make a competition.

※※※

This match is no different from the previous meetings.

It's a normal game for the football game itself.

There is no grievance between the two sides, and it is not a traditional dead place.

On the pitch, you have to do what you want to win – that's the case with any game.

Fiorentina scored first in the game, and the Fiorentina fans who came with the team were delighted, and the Lazio fans at home did not treat them with boos.

Stramaccioni is the director of the Lazio Academy, a position where he has produced a number of useful young players for the Lazio first team.

Lazio fans also remember him well.

When Stramaccioni chose to fly solo, Lazio fans also sent their blessings.

At the time of his setback and defeat at Inter Milan, Lazio fans welcomed Stramaccioni back to Lazio.

Stramaccioni thanked the Lazio fans at the time, but instead of returning to Lazio, he chose to take a year off at home, during which time he worked as a guest commentator for Sky Italia to commentate on Serie A matches.

This career as a commentator also allowed him to settle down and lay the foundation for his future success in Florence.

The relationship between both parties is so good, how can they do something that makes the other party sad?

Even if Fiorentina defeated Lazio, Stramaccioni's attitude in the post-match press conference would be very humble, saying that it was good luck, anyway, the Lazio fans felt comfortable listening to it, and felt that even if they lost to him, it was not a big deal.

Fiorentina scored and ended the first half with a lead.

In the second half, Lazio made a few changes to regain control and were more of a threat to goal.

Edinson Cavani then turned and fired home from outside the box to equalise for Lazio.

At that moment, Wanda Stadium erupted in huge cheers.

After equalising, Lazio's morale was high, and they took advantage of the victory to chase after it, and finally scored another goal in the 80th minute to take the lead!

After that, Changsheng adjusted again and focused on defense.

Stramaccioni, on the other hand, was unceremonious and opted for the attack.

In the end, Jiang was still the same old and spicy, and Lazio managed to hold their goal and fend off Fiorentina's swift onslaught.

In this encounter, Lazio beat Fiorentina.

In the post-match press conference, the two managers continued the tradition of touting each other.

The perennial victory praised Fiorentina's tenacity, while Stramaccioni was convinced by Lazio's strength.

Later, some media said that it was enough, "I think the two of them are just praising their teams through each other's mouths, and this kind of press conference is the most shameless I have ever attended!" I think the post-match press conferences for both Lazio and Fiorentina should be cancelled in the future! We're not here to watch two people boast about each other! ”

After seven league games, Lazio are still third in the league.

Because the two teams before him, Napoli and Juventus, both won.

After this league game, the national team break day is approaching, and Lazio's Vermelo training base will be deserted again.

The most important thing to do on a national team match day is to keep track of each player's performance with the national team.

It is not only to look at their condition, but also to pay attention to their physical condition, for fear that they will be injured again.

On the last national team match, I injured two of myself in one go, and one of them was a very serious injury!

Fortunately, this time the national team break day, Lazio's players were not haunted by bad luck.

They all played their national team games in peace and sound, and then returned to Vermelo.

Chang Sheng sighed.

Lazio's current situation really can't afford to withstand injuries anymore.

Because those who can get injured in the national team are basically their main players.

Ji Ming and Wu Lei also participated in the national team's match day, representing China in the warm-up match ahead of the play-offs at the 2022 Qatar World Cup against South American side Colombia.

This is in preparation for the next two play-off games in November. Because the Chinese team's play-off opponent is Uruguay, a traditional South American powerhouse.

Ten years have passed, and Chinese football has made some progress, because many Chinese players have been able to go to Europe and South America to play and receive training, and they have accepted advanced football concepts and fed back to China.

That's what Chang Sheng wanted to see.

In the past ten years of progress in Chinese football, the name of the agency "Star Project" is indispensable.

Now Chang Sheng's sneaky "Star Project" agent company has become a well-known agent company in the actual scope, they don't know how to represent Chinese players, and now they have extended their tentacles into Europe, competing with those big-name agents and traditional agent companies.

They have promoted many Chinese players to the European arena, and at the same time introduced those European players who are about to retire to China's domestic leagues, and through these high-level European foreign aids, they have promoted the improvement of China's domestic leagues.

Just like what Guangzhou Evergrande did at the beginning.

So now the Chinese team can also go all the way to the play-offs of the World Cup qualifiers.

You must know that the previous national team couldn't even make it to the top 10 of the Asian qualifiers......
