Chapter 84: The Appeal (129/134)

After the match against Manchester United, Lazio eliminated Manchester United on away goals and advanced to the semi-finals.

If it had been at the start of the season, not many would have believed that Lazio could make it all the way to the last four of the Champions League.

At that time, their situation was not even optimistic for Lazio's own supporters.

What hope can a team with a weakened army and constant injuries have?

But no one expected that Chang Sheng would have such a lot of energy, relying on him alone, he was stunned to reunite a team that looked like it was going to fall apart tomorrow, and showed good combat effectiveness in the game.

There were some ups and downs in the league at the start of the season, but now it is believed that this is the reason why the winning habit has put Lazio fully engaged in the group stage of the Champions League, after all, it is the group of death and it is impossible to qualify easily.

So you can only sacrifice the league.

This has led to inconsistent league results.

With their Champions League qualification already assured, they are starting to climb the league table and the team as a whole is much better than before.

Although injuries still accompany them, they jump out from time to time to dwell on them.

But Lazio is still moving forward, step by step, very steadily.

They are currently second in the league, just one point behind first-placed Juventus.

They are also still chasing the league title.

In the Coppa Italia, they also reached the final early.

Lazio, who look to have declined in all respects, have revived this season.

They can compete for the league title on three fronts at the same time, something they haven't done in the previous two seasons.

Either the Champions League is eliminated early, or the first round of the Coppa Italia is goodbye, or the league has never been able to catch up with the first place.

This season's winning season has brought his charisma to the extreme, when the team is in turmoil. It was he who stabilized the morale of the army.

However, the better Lazio performs this season, the more worrying people are about what Lazio will become without him.

Because so far this season, Lazio's results have been based on constant wins.

Without constant wins, where will Lazio go?

fell apart, and then the grades plummeted...... Maybe it will go back to the previous ** silk.

It's tragic, those Lazio fans are the most pitiful people, right?

Chang Sheng left Lazio, he didn't leave home, there are countless giants and strong teams across Europe waving checkbooks, waiting for him to save it.

Those players don't have to worry about the way out. There must be a lot of suitors for the stars who have performed well, so what's better than Lazio?

Lazio is a ship that is already sinking, so why stay in Lazio?

Even the captain Jose, who has played for Lazio for 17 years. Didn't Passarella all announce his retirement?

Either the hero will retire, or he will find another job, and he will not continue to stay in Lazioli anyway.

This. Fools can see that Lazio's results will decline in the future, and the honor and foundation accumulated in the first 17 years will lose their meaning.

The decline in competitive performance is inevitably an economic recession.

If you don't get good results, no one will want to spend a lot of money to sponsor your team, lose your financial resources, and be in this industry that needs to burn money. There is no competitiveness.

So the worse the grades, the less money, the worse the grades, and the worse the grades, which is completely a vicious circle.

Such a simple truth, everyone can see it. Why can't Lazio's boss Lotito see it?

Maintaining the winning side is an important factor for Lazio to continue to thrive in the future.

So no matter what the reason, you should keep Chang Sheng, no matter how excessive the conditions he offers, you must agree!

Because of these pays. He will be compensated after that.

It's a very simple account, and the profiteer Lotito won't count?

But Lotito was confused on such an issue.

It's incredible.

It's like Ji Ming's kick that looked like a mistake against Manchester United. It's just that Ji Ming didn't make a mistake, but Lotito did make a mistake.

※※※

Seeing Lazio's results getting better and better, Lazio fans, who had already accepted the reality that Chang Sheng was leaving Lazio, are now starting to become unwilling again.

Such a good manager, such a good team, why do you want to say goodbye to us for the sake of that idiot fat man's momentary convulsions?

Why?

Lazio is his, but also for us fans!

We all have the right to decide!

In the online world, a website began to appear called "Overthrow Lotito's Tyranny Network", which brought together a large number of Lazio fans who were dissatisfied with Lotito's treatment of his winning teams, and they gathered in the hope of coming up with a way to save the team's fortunes.

The motto of this website is "Never let Lotito ruin our Lazio again!" ”

In the current situation, this sentence seems particularly inflammatory.

As a result, the number of registered users soon exceeded 100,000.

These fans began to discuss online how organisers could use their own way to express their support for Lotito's protests and the winning of the home game.

These include banners, comics, flags, and songs, which are traditional means of cheering for fans.

In addition to these regular fans, there are also some Lazio star fans.

As Lazio's results have gotten better over the past decade or so, Lazio's fame in celebrity circles has grown.

has a lot of celebrity fans, and these fans themselves also have a certain social influence, so they have also stood up for interviews and expressed their opinions.

These stars are calling for Chang Sheng and Lotito to sit together again and negotiate a contract extension.

What can't be discussed? For the sake of Lazio's future, everyone has to give way.

There are also people who openly persuade Lotito that Lazio is good for him, is he good for Lotito, can't he see such an obvious truth?

After all, Lotito now owns 60% of the shares of Lazio FC and is the absolute number one shareholder, and he can make the board of directors his word.

No matter how unconvinced the other shareholders are. Together, they can't break him.

Therefore, Lazio's income is basically equal to Lotito's income, and Lazio is basically about to become his Lotito's private property.

If Lotito doesn't think about the club, he should think about his own interests, right?

Wouldn't he want to make more money?

The appeal of these star fans has also attracted wider attention.

But those concerns can't affect Lotito and Wins.

In the wake of these massive appeals, a news item appeared on the official website of Lazio FC, not in response to those voices, but with the announcement of something else.

“…… The unveiling ceremony of Chang's bronze statue will be held at 2 p.m. on April 19 on the outer wall of the North Stand of Wanda Stadium......"

There is not much news content, only this one sentence is the most meaningful. Everything else is praise and praise for Chang Sheng, and it's all cliché.

If Lazio's relationship with Changsheng is good, then this approach will make many people think that Lazio is really a club with a human touch......

But now that so much has happened on both sides, the relationship has largely broken down, these touts. In everyone's opinion, it will make people feel hypocritical and disgusting.

※※※

It was two o'clock in the afternoon on April 19, two hours before Lazio's home game against Torino.

The Lazio club will invite a number of legendary players who have played for Lazio to attend the unveiling ceremony.

These players have all played under the winning team, and they are all retired.

It can be said that the relationship between these people and Chang Sheng is very deep.

However, because of this, they also have a lot of dissatisfaction with Lazio FC.

If it weren't for the boss's face, they wouldn't have come at all.

In this way, they all still have a lot of criticism about Lazio FC.

But anyway. They're still going to come and cheer on the boss.

Barak, Coentrão, Benzema, David. Silva, Ledesma...... The names of these people mean an era for Lazio fans.

In addition to them, there are also some old Lazio players who are currently on the roster, and they will actually participate in the next league games, but they will come two hours early to cheer on the boss. That's still no problem.

Even if it's not for the sake of winning, just for these legendary players, there will be a lot of fans who will attract the attention of the media.

Plus the name of the ever-winning. It is conservatively estimated that there will be more than 100,000 fans outside the Wanda Stadium by then, which is more than the number of people that the Wanda Stadium can accommodate!

So many people were there to witness the unveiling of the statue of Chang Sheng. It's unprecedented.

However, the media also has different versions of this matter.

Lazio erected a statue of Chang Sheng, which was a good thing and should have been done a long time ago.

But on the premise that Lazio and Chang Sheng have already fallen out, it is ironic to go this way.

The victorious man is leaving, what is the point of erecting a statue for him?

There was even media ridicule of the Lazio club: "...... Knowing that Chang couldn't stay, he erected a statue outside the stadium, is this a prayer for Chang to bless Lazio? It's ridiculous......"

There are many ugly words.

Naturally, everyone was talking for Chang Sheng, which made Chang Sheng a little surprised - when did he become so popular in the media circle?

But the reporters even helped him speak......

It's really the sun coming out of the north......

At the same time, he was also a little embarrassed that the Lazio club was so hacked.

Regardless, his affection for Lazio FC is very deep.

He loves Lazio from the bottom of his heart. This is also the reason why his contract renewal negotiations with Lazio Club dragged on for two years - if it weren't for his love here, Chang Sheng would have just thrown his face and left when the first negotiation failed, he is such a temper.

However, in order to be able to stay at Lazio, he only talked with the Lazio club for two whole years, and made several compromises.

This is not at all in line with his style of doing things.

Why?

Isn't it because of love?

Now that everyone is so dark about this club, he always feels embarrassed.
