After the match against Chievo, it was Lazio's first Champions League game of the season.

They are in Group B and the first opponent they face is Real Madrid in the second tier!

Real Madrid's home turf.

Fresh from a league defeat to the likes of Chievo, Lazio's form has been questioned.

It's quite worrying that such a team is going to challenge Real Madrid away.

Real Madrid's performances in the Champions League over the years have been up and down, and if they are in good form, they can reach the final, but if they are not in good form, they can't even get past the round of 16.

This has had a big impact on their Champions League points.

But even so, they won't be relegated to the second tier.

Some media analyzed that Real Madrid was set as a second-tier team, which was done by UEFA in order to suppress Lazio, and they just didn't want Lazio to live too comfortably.

So to let Real Madrid go to the second tier, and then put it in a group with Lazio in the first tier, this is a naked conspiracy.

UEFA wants to keep Lazio out of the group stage.

Naturally, this powerful dialogue has attracted attention.

Everyone wants to see if Real Madrid can successfully stop Lazio at home.

It would be even better if Lazio could get a two-game losing streak.

It will be a heavy blow to Lazio's morale and confidence.

When Lazio arrived in Madrid, they stayed in the hotel. This time, they did not go to the training base in Getafe to train and prepare for the battle.

After all, it's just a Champions League group stage, and it's not worth training for a group stage.

Otherwise, it's too much to afford the group stage, right?

It's not a final......

However, Chang Sheng made a special trip to Getafe after opening tactical memories in the evening.

He didn't go to anyone either. He just went to the old place.

The apartment he used to live in is still there, but the people in this apartment have changed again and again, and I don't know how many. The people who Chang Sheng knew back then are long gone.

Chang Sheng didn't go in, just went around the apartment building. Then we crossed the road again and went diagonally across the street to the Alfonso Stadium.

Ten o'clock in the evening is not too late for the Spaniards, the nightlife is at its best, but the Estadio Alfonso has fallen into darkness and silence.

That's where he's fought and that's where his coaching career really started.

Chang Sheng looked at the stadium from afar, it was not big, it was small, and it was completely incomparable to the Wanda Stadium in Lazio.

But the stadium is very intimate.

It was here that he unearthed José Passarella and Carlos Campo.

José Passarella followed him, while Carlos Campo remained in Getafe.

As he himself said. He wants to be a loyal servant of Getafe, and he wants the stadium in Getafe to be named after him.

Regardless of whether Getafe was promoted or relegated, he never left, he lived up to his promise.

He made his debut in Getafe and eventually retired in Getafe. This life. Played for only one team.

Three years ago, at the age of thirty-six, he announced his retirement. At that time, both Changsheng and Jose Passarella had rushed from Italy to attend his retirement ceremony.

Although Carlos Campo once joined the Spanish national team, he only made ten appearances for the Spanish national team, and he did not leave too deep traces in international football. So his retirement ceremony also seems simple. There was nothing star-studded.

It is in his hometown, in front of his hometown fathers, to say goodbye to his beloved hometown team.

Unfortunately, in the end, he did not succeed in getting Getafe FC to change the name of Estadio Alfonso to his name.

However, Getafe FC erected a statue of him outside the Alfonso Stadium.

Chang Sheng stood in front of the black statue. Look up.

Carlos Campo, who wears the armband of the captain of Getafe, is raising his arms and shouting.

What appeared in front of Chang Sheng's eyes was Carlos Campo's youthful face.

What he looks like when he calls himself "boss".

Now Getafe has been relegated to the second division, and the ups and downs are the eternal rhythm of this team.

In the honor room, the two championships led by the winning morale. It is also placed in the most conspicuous position.

Illustrates the status of the winning team for this team.

Chang Sheng circled around the Alfonso Stadium and left.

The small city of Getafe is like his hometown. No matter what it looks like now, in his heart, it will always be fixed on the same appearance 22 years ago.

Every time he comes back, he feels at peace.

Those media are right, this season is not easy for Lazio and Chang Sheng.

So before the first Champions League game against Real Madrid, he came here to seek peace of mind.

In this way, he will be full of strength and move forward again, no matter how many difficulties and dangers lie ahead, they will not be able to stop him.

What about Real Madrid?

How old is UEFA?

This is my last season at Lazio and anyone who dares to stop me from winning the title will have to die!

Santiago Bernabéu Stadium ...... Ah, no, it should be called "Microsoft Field" now.

Ten years ago, Real Madrid sold the naming rights to their stadium for the next 15 years to Microsoft for 337.5 million euros, or 22.5 million a year.

At that time, this move was controversial, and many Real Madrid fans were completely emotionally unacceptable.

However, Microsoft's title sponsorship fee has helped Real Madrid pay off some of its debts and alleviate financial pressure.

Naturally, it is beneficial for the long-term development of the club.

It's just that their new name for the stadium has been complained about by the media and fans over the years.

Whenever Real Madrid are weak in the league or Champions League, especially at home, they are ridiculed for their stadium name.

"Microsoft Field? This name is unlucky, you think, you can't be your home field, so how can you win? So actually. Real Madrid should find a company called 'Big Hard' to sponsor the naming rights......"

At the Microsoft Stadium, Rafael Benitez led Real Madrid to Lazio.

Benitez, the "tactical idiot" who was once stolen the limelight by Chang Sheng in the second division, his life is completely different from what Chang Sheng knows.

He moved on to Getafe, where he spent five years before he began to wander around, gaining experience in England, Italy, Turkey and elsewhere in Spain, as well as leading the team to championships. Fame is not small.

Finally, two seasons ago, he became the manager of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid are hoping that the Spanish "master tactician" can help Real Madrid win their tenth Champions League trophy in their history.

Three years ago, Lazio won their club's eighth Champions League trophy. The number of Champions League titles that have been won by individuals has risen to nine. Tied with Real Madrid.

At that time, many media rummaged through old accounts and told everyone that Chang Sheng had released cruel words back then, and he had won more Champions League titles than Real Madrid!

At first, everyone thought it was a joke, thinking that Chang Sheng said such things because his brain was in water.

At that time, Real Madrid had already won nine Champions Leagues, and what about winning constantly? Not a single one yet. It's really easy to think of a neurotic person as saying such a thing......

So the root no one takes it seriously.

Many people even quickly forgot about it.

If it weren't for this time, the media would have turned over old accounts. No one will remember it.

As a result, this old account was turned out, and everyone was surprised!

Changsheng really did what he said!

He has won nine Champions League titles and has already equaled Real Madrid!

Just take one more and he will overtake Real Madrid!

Then. The European media is overwhelmingly reporting on this, and Real Madrid is under a lot of pressure.

I'm afraid that I really let Chang Sheng's counterattack succeed, in that case, it would be too embarrassing......

So they are desperately recruiting troops. Hopefully, we can win our tenth Champions League title and regain the lead.

It was against this backdrop that Rafael Benitez came to Real Madrid.

His first season in charge of Real Madrid. led Real Madrid to the Champions League final. At the time, everyone thought that Real Madrid would definitely win the title this time, but they lost to AC Milan in the final.

In the second season, Real Madrid simply did not reach the quarterfinals, which was too big, resulting in Benitez's position being unstable for a while, if he had not led the team to beat Barcelona and win the league championship...... Benitez will really be swept away.

Speaking of Benitez's personal relationship with Chang Sheng, Benitez is not Chang Sheng's disciple, nor is he a subordinate, he is a football friend and makes friends with the ball.

The two used to discuss football tactics and inspire each other.

Therefore, people say that Benitez is a "master tactician", which is not only Benitez's own ability, but also the reason for the inspiration of constant victory......

However, the personal relationship between the two will not affect the intensity of this match.

Real Madrid was shot while lying down - UEFA had to clean up Lazio, which made Real Madrid drop a notch and put them in the group of death with Lazio, a group that is difficult to deal with......

If Real Madrid are to make it out of this group, this first home game against Lazio will be particularly important.

Benitez wouldn't let go of water just because he had a good personal relationship with Chang Sheng. On the contrary, he will work harder.

Real Madrid will surely go all out to beat Lazio at home.

For a perennial winner, this game is also a must-win.

If it loses two games in a row, it will be very bad for Lazio, mainly due to the pressure of public opinion.

Therefore, at this time, Chang Sheng didn't care about any personal friendships.

The only effect of personal friendship is to win often, and not to provoke Real Madrid with harsh words before the game.

He still maintained restraint, everything waited until the arena, and spoke with his feet!
