Chapter 81: The Tradition of the Italian Team
When Carraro resigned and Marzzini resigned, some media reintroduced the phrase of Chang Sheng, telling readers: "Do you think this is the end of it? Wrong! This is just the beginning! ”
At a time when all of Italy is alarmed by the afterreaction to the revelations of the "Phonegate" scandal, let's turn our attention to Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
Lazio, led by Victorious Victorious, are currently training here for the UEFA Cup final.
In fact, the day after Carraro resigned, the whole Lazio team came to the Netherlands and devoted themselves to training.
The reason for leaving Italy is that "phonegate" is now intensifying, and the whole of Italy is not immune.
In that case, staying in Italy will only make your team unprepared and deeply affected.
That's why Chang Sheng brought the team to the Netherlands, hoping to escape from the center of the vortex of this matter.
It's just that the scandal in Italian football has swept across Europe, and other European media have maintained a high level of attention to the "phonegate" incident in Italy.
As the only Italian team left in the European competition this season, Lazio is naturally also in the spotlight.
Journalists flocked to Eindhoven to cover and report on Lazio's preparations, but also wanted to ask them how they felt about what was happening in their home country.
Chang Sheng ran to Holland to let the team hide from it. I didn't expect that when I came to the Netherlands, there would be more reporters coming to cover me.
So Chang Sheng had no choice but to issue a gag order to the team, so that they were not allowed to discuss the "phonegate" incident in front of reporters and media.
If that doesn't work, he'll consider not allowing players to be interviewed in any way until they've played the UEFA Cup final......
But someone has to face the journalists. If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about the pre-match press conference, someone has to attend.
This can only be done with constant victory.
But Chang Sheng doesn't care. Let him face the reporters and he is not afraid, let his players face the reporters and he will not know what will happen......
And the shady scene of Italian football has also affected Lazio's evaluation.
A lot of people are looking at Lazio with tinted glasses now, and they think that if Juventus has a problem, who knows if Lazio has a problem?
This season, Lazio can rank second in the league with such an ordinary lineup, if you want to say that there is no problem, I am afraid no one will believe it, right?
Again, we think about how Lazio solved the economic crisis...... They were able to get the Italian treasury and the tax department in check. At that time, the agreement they made with the Italian tax authorities caused many people to disagree, thinking that it was problematic, and that the government was clearly biased in favor of Lazio.
Why favoritism? Just because Lazio is the capital team. If the capital team is bankrupt. That would be a slap in the face of the Italian government, so they would never allow Lazio to go bankrupt.
Lazio's performances in the league this season have proven that – they have someone above them!
This is a great explanation of why Chang Sheng has been able to achieve such outstanding results with such a team that has been put together for less than a season.
The German media first began to question Lazio's performance this season, and their opinion is similar to the analysis above, anyway, they believe that Lazio's excellent performance must have an ulterior background. Maybe in a few days. An investigation in Italy will reveal that Lazio was also deeply involved in the phone call.
Or maybe on the day of the UEFA Cup final, Lazio was caught up in a phonegate scandal?
That's a blast.
Lazio will certainly not have time to worry about the UEFA Cup final......
※※※
The German media is keen to hype this up, and Chang Sheng knows exactly why.
Because Lazio's opponent in the final of the UEFA Cup is Schalke 04 from Germany!
They beat Middlesbrough in the semi-finals.
The German media hyped it up in the hope of interfering with Lazio's preparations. As for whether they have any evidence in their hands for saying this...... Evidence is never needed for media revelations! All you need is a mouth.
When the time comes, if the time is right, they can triumphantly claim that they know the inside story. If you are mistaken, then pretend that your grandson does not mention this stubble, in this era of information explosion, people's attention shifts quickly. It won't be long before no one remembers that they used to talk nonsense and nonsense.
But whether they guessed it right or not, they would be successful if they were able to influence Lazio before the UEFA Cup final.
In order to make their own team win the championship. The media is doing everything.
In such an important match in the past, the media of both sides must spit on each other, and there will be a war of words before the game.
But this time Lazio's disadvantage is that Schalke 04 has German media to help them build momentum, while Lazio does not.
The focus of the Italian media at this time is all on the "phonegate". There are not many Italian reporters who come to cover Lazio's preparation for the League Cup final, not to mention that the vast majority of these few people are coming for the "phone gate". I'd like to ask more about Phonegate from Lazio.
In Italy, the media showed little interest in Lazio's final, and no media came forward to speak for Lazio and refute the German media.
Lazio are completely alone.
But it's not uncommon for him to win, and the Italian media speaks for him. The vast majority of the Italian media are not black, and he is already helping him......
In a war of words, he never relied on the help of the media, he relied on his own mouth.
In response to the slander of the German media, Chang Sheng ridiculed him: "Yes, they are right, we have people not only in Italy, but also in UEFA!" Otherwise, how could we, a team that has only been put together for less than a season, make it all the way to the final of the UEFA Cup? I suggest that the German media dig deep into this point, find out our backers in UEFA, and give European football a bright future! ”
The German media present were embarrassed by these words, and their faces turned red and white, white and black.
They themselves patronize Black Lazio and forget about the basic logical issues.
If Lazio's good performance in Serie A is a problem, then Lazio's performance in the UEFA Cup is also good, reaching the final, isn't that even more problematic?
What a shot in the foot......
The British tabloids also joined in the fun, and they asked Chang Sheng to talk about the phone gate that was taking place in Italy.
Chang Sheng refused to answer: "Does this have anything to do with the League Cup final?" ”
The British "Sun" reporter thought for a moment and said: "You are also an Italian team......"
Chang Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Are you implying that we are also involved with the phone door?" ”
The reporter of "The Sun" also realized that it was very serious to say this, the German media had just been slapped in the face by Chang Sheng, and it was better for them not to rush forward and pounce on them, so they hurriedly waved their hands: "No, there is no ......"
Chang Sheng nodded: "Okay, I refuse to answer the question about the phone door." ”
British journalists were also dumbfounded.
The local Dutch journalist stood up and asked: "But you can't deny that what is happening in Italy does have an impact on your team......"
Chang Sheng replied: "I think it's a good influence. ”
Chang Sheng dared to say this because Chang Sheng already had a plan in his heart. And he also knows the past and the future.
In this year's World Cup, Italy also became a group of mourners because of this phonegate incident. No one was optimistic that Italy, which had caught fire in their backyard, would win the title. Last World Cup winners Brazil are the top favourites, and hosts Germany are no slouch either.
England are the strongest of the year, and Argentina have played football with passion and beauty as well as results under Bielsa......
But it just doesn't have Italy's share.
The result? It is clear that Italy have won this World Cup.
Italian teams seem to have a tradition of doing what others thought was impossible when they were controversial and criticised, when they weren't looked up to by the world.
The last example was the 1982 World Cup. At that time, Italy also had a scandal before going to the World Cup, and the team's top scorer Rossi had just been released from the prison because of betting. As a result, Italy became the world champions, and Rossi became the top scorer of the year with six goals.
The 2006 World Cup in Germany proved this once again. Italy at that World Cup was surprisingly united, everyone did their part and did a great job. In the end, Italy's victory can be said to be a victory for the team as a whole.
And Lazio is also an Italian team.
Although it is an Italian team that "Italy is most like Spain", it is also a serious Italian team.
Chang Sheng firmly believes that this is good for his team, and there is no harm in it.
He's a manager who can take advantage of the situation, both in terms of selecting the team and playing the game.
Whatever happens in the real world, he is good at using it to help his team improve its combat effectiveness.
This time was no exception.
For such a big thing, the effect on the improvement of combat effectiveness is even more significant.
He listened to the questions of these media reporters, and even sneered in his heart.
Come on, come on, let the storm come harder!
The more criticism, contempt and suspicion the outside world had, the stronger Lazio's fighting power became.
He's the best at turning negative energy into positive energy!
"Are you sure, Mr. Chang?"
The Dutch reporter stared at Chang Sheng and asked.
Chang Sheng sneered inwardly.
Don't think I'll be scared of you if you hint at me with your eyes.
Pediatrics!
He glared back with the same unflinching: "Of course, I'm the head coach of the team. I'm more sure than you are. ”
The reporter had no choice but to sit down.
But no one knows what's going on in your heart.
Chang Sheng knows that he is just waiting to see his jokes, and now he is so slow to speak, he doesn't know how to die when the time comes......
And so forth and so on.
So Chang Sheng also sneered in his heart.
See who has the last laugh and see who laughs the best!
