Chapter 166 Declare War on Extreme Fans

"Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs. Although I don't admit that they are on our side, I think you definitely don't think so, and most people don't think so either."

On the TV screen, the video of the post-match press conference between Lazio and Inter Milan is being played.

"As the head coach of Lazio, I am a yellow man, and the extreme fans are racially discriminatory, that is, they discriminate against me. Here I want to say to them: I am a ****!"

That's all for the video.

The screen cuts back to the studio, the host and the guests are sitting on the sofa, and the moment Chang Sheng swears on the big screen behind them.

"In the post-match press conference earlier today, Chang officially declared war on the extreme fans of Lazio... I have to say, I admire his courage, but I don't think he can succeed." The host said.

The guest next to him nodded: "Lazio's extreme fans have existed for a long time. It can even be said that extreme fans and Lazio's ordinary fans are inseparable. It is difficult for you to tell who is an extreme fan and who is an ordinary fan. This is Lazio's stubborn disease , The media has criticized them many times, and they have not been able to solve this problem. So I don’t think that regular words can make extreme fans admit defeat..."

The program of this TV station is just a microcosm of the focus of media attention today.

Lazio's away defeat to Inter Milan is not a focus, because everyone has long been accustomed to it.

The focus is on the racism of Lazio's extreme fans and the foul language after the winning game.

All media, whether print media, television, radio, or the Internet, are discussing this matter.

Of course they support declaring war on racial discrimination-this is a matter of principle, even if you think black people are black ghosts in your heart. People of the yellow race are yellow-skinned monkeys, and you can’t really say that in public, you have to express your opposition to racial discrimination.

But at the same time, they also know that it is absolutely impossible to win.

Because if denunciations were useful, Lazio would have solved the problem long ago. There will be no racial discrimination in the whole of Italy.

Some racism is overt. For example, the slogans on the court, some discrimination is invisible discrimination buried deep in the heart.

This involves all aspects of society, politics, economy and culture. It's not just a simple denunciation.

Therefore, they think that Chang Sheng's actions may just be a statement,

Take the Lazio club out of the matter of extreme fan racial discrimination, so that the Italian Football Association will punish it. I guess it could be easier...

Didn't Lotito also express his abhorrence of this kind of racial discrimination in an interview after the game?

Both the head coach and the chairman have expressed their views in this way, which shows the attitude of the Lazio club.

So they actually still want to muddle through this matter. As for whether they really want to eradicate racial discrimination... As long as it doesn't happen to them, what does it have to do with them?

※ ※ ※

On the second day, the team will have a day off as usual. On this day, the Italian Football Association is also meeting to study how to deal with the Lazio fans chanting racist slogans during the match between Lazio and Inter Milan.

Same day. Chang Sheng and Lotito conducted an interview in the study of Lotito's home.

"The media thinks our statement is to avoid heavy punishment. I don't know what you think, Mr. Chairman, but I am not."

Lotito nodded.

In fact, he really said that in his heart because he wanted to avoid heavy punishment.

On the issue of racial discrimination, FIFA spends so much money every year and puts so much effort into it. It was not cured either. He didn't believe that his own club could do anything.

"I want to deal with these bastards, but I need your support, Mr. Chairman."

Lotito must approve of cleaning up the group of extreme fans, because those extreme fans scolded him a lot. Every game, these extreme fans would hold up slogans to insult him, and at an agreed time, they would suddenly shout slogans such as "Lotito is a street sweeper" to humiliate Lotito.

Lotito made his fortune as a cleaning company and used to be responsible for the cleaning work of the Roman municipality.

Compared with the rich second generation of the oil family, the Italian media tycoon, and the powerful family that controls the lifeline of the Italian economy, the self-made Lotito is indeed weak...

"I'm fine, I support you, Chang!"

Lotito took a stand.

Chang Sheng continued: "First of all, our club has to cooperate with the Milan police. We need to know how many extreme fans came to watch the game, and then match their list..."

Generally speaking, extreme fans have a record with the police, and their names, ages, occupations and addresses are all in the hands of the police.

It’s okay when you don’t commit crimes, the police won’t look for you, and you can watch the game normally.

Once you're involved in a brawl between fans you're called out for coffee. In serious cases, you may be directly banned from watching the game.

The English police are like this. Those notorious football hooligans are not allowed to go to the scene to watch the game, and they don’t even need to appear within a few kilometers of the football field. If they want to go abroad to watch the game, they can’t even go through customs.

Italy is also a place where football hooligans and crimes occur frequently, so such a blacklist system has also been established.

As long as the Milan police call up the cameras at the Meazza Stadium, you can see the appearance of these people, and then compare them with the people on the blacklist to know the identities of these people.

While a little cumbersome, it's not impossible.

Chang Sheng can't do this, but Lotito is somewhat impressionable and well-connected celebrity.

So only he can do it.

But this is not the point, the point is what Chang Sheng said next.

"When we know the identities of these fans, we can deny them entry to watch Lazio's home games! And restrict them to watch away games!"

Lotito stared blankly at Chang Sheng with his mouth wide open.

His surprise didn't mean that this method was so whimsical, but actually this method was quite normal.

What surprised him was that Chang Sheng really had the determination to fight to the death with extreme fans...

This kind of behavior is very offensive...

Only then did he understand why Chang Sheng came to find him.

Cooperation with the Milan police is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that this matter requires two people to work together and in step. He came to seek his own support, and at the same time to see his own attitude...

After all, the chairman is the biggest in the club. If the chairman can't stand it, it's useless for Chang Sheng, the head coach, to dance happily.

Therefore, Changsheng must get his own support.

Lotito suddenly had an idea, if he didn't support it. What will happen?

The thought only flashed through his mind.

Because he immediately thought of the result.

With Chang Sheng's temper, if he doesn't support him, he will definitely run away.

As a famous coach, he has no worries about where to go. He can build his immortal exploits wherever he goes. And what about myself?

Lazio will suddenly fall from a quasi-rich to an ordinary team.

Most importantly, his new stadium plan lost the support of the team's performance. It will also become unconvincing...

Lotito would certainly not do such a thing.

So he knew he had no choice but to support Chang Sheng with all his strength!

"Don't worry, Chang. I'm definitely on your side in this matter. Those extreme fans scold me every day, and I have long wanted to deal with them!"

※ ※ ※

In this way, the Lazio club announced on the same day that they would cooperate with the Milan police. Establish a blacklist system within the Lazio club. The first batch of people on the blacklist are those extreme fans who caused trouble in the match against Inter Milan yesterday.

These extreme fans will be banned by the Lazio club.

They are not allowed to enter Lazio's home stadium Rome Olympic Stadium to watch Lazio's games within a year, and they are not allowed to go with the team to watch away games.

The ban can be lifted after one year, but if you commit the second offense, you will be banned for life!

As soon as such news came out, it caused a sensation in Italian football!

When everyone is saying that the statements of Chang Sheng and Lotito are just for the Italian Football Association, hoping to influence the Football Association. When the penalty was given lightly, the Lazio club officials suddenly threw such a heavy punch!

What does it mean?

Is this continuing to show their attitude to the Football Association, or are they playing for real this time?

Banning your own fans... Isn't it afraid of causing public outrage?

※ ※ ※

Just when everyone was guessing, the punishment of the Italian Football Association was also announced.

Controversy over Lazio fans chanting racist chants away from home. The Italian Football Association determined that the Lazio club was guilty of ineffective teaching, and because the Lazio fans refused to mend their ways and had many previous convictions, they decided to fine the club 300,000 euros, and also banned the Lazio club for three home games!

Not to mention fines, a three-home ban is definitely a heavy penalty!

The so-called suspension of home games does not mean disqualification of the team's home game qualifications, but that when the team has a home game, fans of the home team will not be allowed to enter the game, and only fans of the away team will be allowed to go in to watch the game.

In this way, there are zero fans of the home team, and the atmosphere is deserted, which will affect the performance of big teams.

This has happened before. In the UEFA Champions League group match on September 15, 2004, Roma played against Dynamo Kiev at home. Neo scares the old man who retired - because of a disputed penalty, he was blocked outside the lounge by angry Roma fans during the intermission, and then a fan hit him on the head with a lighter, causing him to A bloody scene. He was rushed to the hospital and the game was interrupted for forty minutes. Forty minutes later, UEFA confirmed that Frisk could not continue to officiate the game and announced the postponement of the game.

Then UEFA imposed a home ban on the Roma team. Roma's subsequent Champions League group matches, as long as they were at home, had no fans. The deserted stadium could even clearly hear the head coach yelling on the sidelines.

So this kind of punishment is the most serious punishment for the club next to the relegation penalty...

PS, lag behind...

But the gap is not big, we are still stalemate.

I will continue to work hard!
