Chapter 434: Chinese Team Lazio

For Lotito, Wu Lei's joining is something he welcomes.

So when Chang Sheng called him and told him that he planned to buy a Chinese player, Lotito shouted loudly, looking more excited than Chang Sheng, a Chinese.

Although Chang Sheng said that he didn't think about the Chinese market when he bought Wu Lei, Lotito is different from Chang Sheng, he really thinks about the Chinese market.

Since the poaching of Changsheng, Lazio FC's ties with China have become deeper and more frequent.

Lotito has also tasted the sweetness of these connections.

Now the sponsors on the chest of the Lazio club jersey are Chinese car companies, and Chinese companies and brands can be seen everywhere in Lazio.

This team is about to become a Chinese team.

Even if Lazio announce that they will move their home stadium to Beijing one day, it is unlikely that no Italian will be too surprised.

Roma fans are now ridiculing Lazio with this meme. Taunting Lazio is already a Chinese team.

On the second day of the press conference, major media outlets focused on Lazio's signing of a Chinese player.

However, the Chinese media and the Italian media have completely different perspectives.

The Chinese media hailed the historical significance of Wu Lei's move to Lazio, and they began to look forward to Wu Lei's play in Lazio's top team.

They think Wu Lei may become a player who breaks the ice.

There are already Chinese players who have played in the Bundesliga and the Premier League.

Serie A and La Liga have yet to be breached.

Serie A is probably the hardest of all, as Serie A is somewhat xenophobic, especially for Chinese players.

Maybe Serie A officials will not recognize it, but this country, and this country's league, is invisible discrimination for Chinese.

A great manager like Chang Sheng is surrounded by controversy in Italy. Not to mention a small player.

And with Chang Sheng's "escort", Wu Lei's future in Serie A is obviously much easier than his predecessor Ma Mingyu - although Wu Lei and Chang Sheng do not admit these cares, but the Chinese media believe that when the two people really get along, some things cannot be changed, and there will be some care, even if it is not very obvious, but the phenomenon of care must exist.

Almost all of the Chinese media discuss this.

The Italian media didn't seem to care about Wu Lei's strength and potential, after all, they had never heard of this person's name before.

Their focus is on the Lazio club.

"When I was coaching Lazio, I was wondering when Lazio would buy a Chinese player. Because the Chinese like to do this kind of bunching thing. Now it's finally here, a Chinese player I've never heard of, only 19 years old, for whom the Lazio club is said to be paying 1.5 million euros to his parent club in China. What game did Wu play in China? Similar to the second tier of our Serie B competition. Paying 1.5 million euros for such a player really makes me wonder if Chang is taking advantage of this transfer......"

Pacheco commented on Wu Lei's transfer when he participated in a certain program.

He almost got the truth. But he's just a joke, and he's just a habitual black.

I didn't think that he was actually the closest person to the truth. If he knew, he would probably hold on to this, and he would have to ruin the reputation of Chang Sheng's bite......

However, although Pacheco has always won all his life, his views are considered mainstream in the Italian media this time.

That is, everyone thinks that Lazio has more and more Chinese elements.

They had a Chinese head coach before, so they attracted a lot of Chinese sponsorship, and now they finally have another Chinese player.

There are a lot of Chinese journalists. Now more of it.

Outside the Fermelo training base has become almost a world of Chinese journalists, and some Italian media joke that Chinese is the lingua franca there, and Italian has become a weak language. You may not be able to communicate if you speak Italian, and you're surrounded by a bunch of Chinese journalists chatting with each other in Chinese they don't understand. It makes you feel like you've come to China.

"China's head coach, China's sponsors, China's journalists, China's players. Even the construction team of the new stadium is Chinese, and it will be named Chinese in the future...... I think Lazio would have changed the colour of their home shirt altogether. Changed from sky blue to red, representing China. ”

"Earlier we said Lazio were the most Spanish team in Italy and now I think we were all wrong. In fact, Lazio is the most Chinese team in the whole of Italy! ”

The media complained about Lazio's sinicization.

In a xenophobic country like Italy, a team like Lazio is truly an outlier.

What's even more strange is that they can still succeed, I have to say that Chang Sheng is really too rebellious......

The Italian media's complaints are a bit vicious, but they are right, Lazio is indeed a completely Chinese team.

This once Italian right-wing team is now red in the red with constant wins.

The lifeblood of this team is based on a strong Chinese color.

The head coach of the team is Chinese, so let's not say.

The club's president, Lotito, is now also a "friendly person" and a "good friend of the Chinese people" in the eyes of the Chinese government.

He is now in China for probably a quarter of the year. Everywhere to attract investment, and at the same time to smash the presence of the Lazio club.

In addition, Lazio FC currently has a number of Chinese sponsors.

For example, their chest jersey advertisements are famous Chinese car companies, their computer sponsors are Chinese Lenovo, their sports functional drinks are also Chinese brands, and their training grounds are also full of billboards of Chinese companies.

Chinese characters are very common at the Furmelo training base.

So much so that even Lazio's player tattoos are popular tattoos with Chinese characters.

In order to express his admiration for the boss, Mariogertze tattooed a row of Chinese characters on his arm, which together means "all invoices are 50% off......

Chang Sheng almost didn't laugh when he saw this sentence at that time.

However, he was afraid of dampening Gotze's enthusiasm in learning, so he always held back. Götze was not told the truth......

Gotze still doesn't know what he means when he tattoos his body, and he still shows it complacently.

The phenomenon of sinicization of Lazio is indeed very serious.

And it is reflected in all aspects, all kinds of details.

Although it is never said in the team and the club, in these two places, many people have started to learn it spontaneously.

The ubiquitous Chinese journalists near the Furmelo training base are the best people for these people to practice their spoken Chinese.

In addition to this, Lazio also pay tribute to China by choosing a tournament every year to change the font of their chest advertising into Chinese characters.

It is said to be Lazio's "China Match Day".

Also in the headquarters of the Lazio club. Winning marks have been made everywhere, especially in the Hall of Honor.

The sign under each trophy is presented in simplified Chinese in addition to Italian. And it is definitely not the kind of inferior goods that are translated by machines, and at first glance it is a translation that is really for the Chinese.

Let Chinese tourists see that no one will feel disobedient.

In Lazio's honorary strength, such an introduction is available only in Italian and Chinese.

This shows that Lazio FC attaches great importance to China.

Previously, some Italian media complained that Lazio simply changed the home jersey from sky blue to red. Of course, this is a helpless complaint, and no one will really take this sentence seriously.

But soon the Italian press got to know the Lazio club...... No, maybe it's Lotito's lack of discipline......

Some media have released the latest spy photos of Lazio's second set of away kits.

This second kit is one of those that is difficult to use, and the second set of away kits will only be chosen when the color of the first away kit and the home kit conflict with the opponent's kit.

The colour of the second set of away kits is not like the home kit and the first set of away kits, which are traditional colours. For example, Lazio's home jersey is sky blue, and the away jersey is generally yellow.

The second set of away kits is designed to be distinguishable from most of the colours. The colors will be very weird.

Therefore, the color of the second set of away kits will often be very "heavy".

This is the case with the second set of away kits announced by Lazio FC.

When the spy photos came out, everyone was stunned, especially the media who were still complaining that Lazio might as well change the color of the jersey.

Because the second set of Lazio away kits that catches your eye is...... A bright red!

Red top. Red shorts, even socks are red!

Nike's second set of away jerseys for Lazio can be described as completely red. Only at the neckline and cuffs, as well as at the hem of the shorts, there are some gold trims.

Besides. It's red.

Lazio really use the red jersey!

"Looks like we're right...... Lazio really chose red as the color of their jersey! Even though it's not a home jersey, it's also exaggerated, okay? This red jersey is really ugly! The media that exposed the spy photos finally complained like this. What an ugly aesthetic it would take to design such a jersey? ”

But the media still overestimated Lotito's lower limit.

Lazio then admitted that the photo in the spy photos was their team's second away kit of the season.

And not only that. Lotito also said in an interview that Lazio will give priority to the use of this shirt in the away games of the Champions League in the new season, and temporarily abandon the yellow away shirt.

"We also plan to consider playing in this shirt during the Chinese New Year season...... In addition, we will also wear this shirt to play in the Italian Super Cup in Beijing this summer......"

Although Lazio club officials have never directly explained why they use red away shirts, after listening to Lotito's words, everyone knows this - this is fucking naked to curry favor with the Chinese market!

Sure enough, after the release of the red away jersey, there was a strong response from China, and some Chinese media even said that the red away jersey was actually a love letter written by Lazio Club to Chinese fans.

There are also Chinese media who have given Lazio's away jersey a name, called "China Red"!

When the time comes, watching Lazio wear a red jersey to play, will it make people feel like watching the Chinese national team?

This may make more Chinese fans willing to consider Lazio their home team.

In fact, they don't care if this shirt looks good or not, they only care, through this shirt, they see the importance that Lazio FC attaches to Chinese fans, and that's enough.

And in the face of monetary interests, the businessman Lotito really doesn't want any moderation......
