Chapter 170: Fighting Alone (Thanks to the new alliance leader Akeyo☆ Tianshui!) )
When the players returned from the warm-up, Chang Sheng was keenly aware of the change in the mentality of the players.
And he knows why these players have changed like this.
Because he didn't need to go out, he was able to feel the atmosphere outside.
Deserted.
In the past, when playing at Lazio, he had to close the locker room door so that he could hear each other.
Now, he left the door open to the locker room, but it was still quiet.
No fans, not a single one.
Lazio's players are like ships sailing in the dark, unable to find a lighthouse or dock.
When every game is full, the players may not particularly care about the presence of these fans.
But when there was not a single fan left, the Lazio players immediately felt uncomfortable.
Football is a sport that is inseparable from fans......
Without the fans, football would be dead.
Although there was no noise in the locker room at all, Chang Sheng habitually slapped his face before the start of his speech, drawing everyone's attention to him.
"Isn't it okay to deal with it?" He asked with a smile on his face.
Although the smile of constant victory has many meanings, at this time, there is no ambiguity, and everyone sees encouragement in it.
Yes, the boss is encouraging them.
This reassured many players a little.
"It's an experience, guys. We don't have a single fan, but we have more than 2,000 fans. It's a rare experience, and after three home games, I'm sure you'll be looking forward to playing in one of the most popular stadiums. But now it's a pity that we're being denied that opportunity because of the actions of some extreme fans. We want them to wipe their butts. It's unfair, they discredit us. Why do we have to wipe their butts? Because it's not wiping their butts for them. Remember, guys, you win for your own sake. For those you think are worth winning for him! ”
"Our fans. Those who really support us, because a handful of idiots are kept out of the door. They can't support us, so should we give up? I've seen someone say that Lazio is likely not to win these three games, why? Because we have no one to support! ”
"Yes. We don't have fans right now. It's our own fight, guys. We've always had the fans to support us before, but this time, we had to fight alone. There's no shame in that, and there's nothing to dwell on. Because the real pure man is the one who can win in the face of any difficulty! ”
"So, go win!"
※※※
When the game starts. Lazio's players are still a bit uncomfortable.
The more than 2,000 fans in Livorno are really welcome, and they make it their main product.
When the Lazio players got the ball, they booed loudly. And when it was their turn to get the ball, it was a cheer.
Of course. Two thousand people is still insignificant for a stadium that can accommodate 72,000 people.
So the overall atmosphere is very deserted.
Lazio's players are still a little uncomfortable.
For the first time, they heard the Boss's roar on the sidelines very clearly.
"Focus, damn it!"
"Run, go up and meet him!"
"Hernanes, don't hesitate when it's time to shoot!"
"Well done, David! Just kick it like that! ”
※※※
In fact, Chang Sheng didn't talk so much when he commanded the game before.
He was completely forced.
The stadium was so deserted that there was no one to cheer on the team.
So he had to go into battle shirtless.
Finally, with his roar, the players' performance gradually returned to normal.
When the players returned to normal, the difference in quality was reflected.
In the face of the absolute difference in strength, the advantage of Livorno's 2,000 fans cannot be reflected at all.
In the 31st minute, Cavani opened the scoring for Lazio with a sudden long-range shot from outside the box.
"Cavani!!"
In the deserted stadium, the voice of the commentator is particularly prominent.
More than 2,000 Livorno fans booed wildly at the sight of Cavani's goal.
They really seem to think this is their home turf......
As a result, five minutes later, Lazio scored again.
The man who scored the goal this time was Gotze.
At the end of the 35th minute, Lazio had a two-goal lead.
How strong Lazio is with a two-goal lead, Livorno's manager Kosmi knows very well.
So when he saw this scene, Kosmi pressed the brim of his hat down, covering most of his face.
It means he knows he doesn't have a chance.
This is definitely not a renunciation.
But in the face of such a powerful enemy, even if you try your best, you can't win, so why fight?
Livorno is not a team that wants to compete for the title, and it is impossible to start fighting now if they want to be relegated.
The league is a long process, and it takes a strategic explosion.
I must wait for the final sprint stage of the league to make a new effort.
If you have the strength to keep it against opponents at the same level as Livorno, what is the use of running into a team like Lazio, even if you win? Win a game, and then your own side is full of wounded soldiers, and the price is terrible. Do you want to play the next league?
Win a league game to get three points, and then lose three games in a row?
It's three points to win against Lazio, and it's three points to win against other teams, so why is it necessary to fight Lazio until the bayonet is red in this game?
Unless the Football Association says who can beat Lazio and add 30 points directly, Cosmi will have a red-eyed duel with Lazio.
Now...... Forget it...... Let's consider our next game at home to Parma......
Livorno's manager Kosmi opted for a conservative approach in the second half, replacing three key players and starting to save for the next round of home games against Parma.
In Kosmi's opinion, Surian Parma are in sixth place, but they still have a good fight on their home turf.
Lazio forget it, they don't belong in this league at all......
Lazio beat Livorno 3-0 at an empty home stadium in this way.
More than 2,000 Livorno fans were silent in the second half.
Because Lazio was comprehensively suppressed on the field, there was not the slightest instability in their performance because of their boos.
None of them can help the team win this game if they are hoarse.
At the post-match press conference. Chang Sheng said: "Playing without the support of the fans is very new. The players were a little uncomfortable at first, but then it was normal. With two home stadiums remaining, it's time to welcome the real Lazio fans back to the stands. Fight alongside us! ”

After the match against Livorno, the next game was two consecutive away games.
Away games have a much smaller impact on Lazio. Anyway, it's the home team fans who have the advantage.
And it's only the home stadium that's being banned. It is not said that the away game is also banned.
But when the unruly, as is customary, went to the club to get their tickets, they were told that there were no places for them.
"No quota? What do you mean? The representative of the Incivility glared angrily at the staff in charge of the invoice.
The staff member was a little frightened, though the unindoctrinate, a seemingly vicious representative.
But he still shook his head and said, "No quota is no quota." ”
"How can there be no places? We're going to have 300 to 500 places every away game! ”
"I don't know. That's what the ticketing system said to me today, there are no places for you. ”
"Didn't give it to us?"
The delegate heard something different.
"Yes, there is no vote for you, no votes for the unindoctrinables." Behind him. A man appeared at the door.
The representative looked back and saw that it was the club's general manager, Tare.
"What do you mean, Taray?" He asked, spreading his hands.
"That's what I mean...... Well, from today onwards, and all the way forward, you don't have to go to the away game. Because you don't get the votes. ”
Talay shrugged his shoulders.
"Am I clear enough?"
The representative of the unteachable sect finally figured out the situation - the Lazio club cut off their source of away tickets!
"From now on?" He asked rhetorically.
"From now on." Lazio manager Taray nodded and repeated.
"Good, good." The representative nodded. Then he glared at the staff member, turned and walked out.
At the door, he turned to Talay and said, "I promise you, you will regret it!" ”
"Don't be funny. Buddy. Talay smiled. This is a common patent, and I am afraid that you do not have the ability and qualifications to do so. ”
The representative was furious by Tare's words, and his forehead was bruised.
Then he slammed the door and walked out.
After the representative left, the nervous staff member said to Tare, "Manager...... Do this...... Is it really okay? That's the most influential fan group in Lazio......"
Tare's face was also less relaxed than before, he frowned and shook his head and said, "I don't know, but since it is a decision made by the club, we just abide by it......"
He sighed inwardly.
He was also surprised when Mr. President told him about the decision. The staff member asked himself, and he had told Lotito once before.
But Lotito stood by his opinion.
So he had no choice but to comply.
In fact, he knew with his knees that this idea must have won out for a long time.
It is not once or twice that Chang Sheng has quarreled with those "unteachables".
He'd been trying to clean up that group for a long time......
Now the racism against Eto'o has finally given him an excuse......
But does this really have no effect on the club?
You must know that the "unteachables" were still quite influential north of Rome. And they have close ties with many politicians. If you offend them, I'm afraid you will be under pressure from politicians, right?
Ay...... But it's useless to think about it so much now. I'm in the same boat with them, so I can only hope that Mr. Changhe can really ...... Defeat the "Unteachables".
The more Talay thought about it, the more hope lay few.
The forces of the indoctrination are so entrenched that it is almost impossible to uproot them.
Perhaps in the end, a compromise will be reached, with each side allowing them to return to the crowd of away fans, while promising not to do anything to tarnish the reputation of Lazio......

ps, the game is not over yet, and it is not time to admit defeat!
It doesn't matter how many goals you are behind, how many votes you have, it's all the same!
