Chapter 288 The Promising Defending Champion (Thanks to the Gods!)
He didn't tell anyone about the ambition in Chang Sheng's heart, even his wife Avril and his parents.
So the media racked their brains and tried every means, but they couldn't dig out what the new record Chang Sheng wanted to create was.
They stayed on Chang Sheng's personal official website day and night, hoping to detect some clues and clues from Chang Sheng's usual messages.
They ran to ask the people around Chang Sheng, and they even spent money to bribe the people inside the Lazio club to ask them for information.
But unfortunately, everyone's answer is: "Chang's new record? I don't know, I've never heard him say it before..."
Neither the coaches nor the players, nor even the guards at the training base, knew.
Some of these people also came to ask Chang Sheng curiously, what is the new record he wants to create.
Facing these people, Chang Sheng gave the same answer. He smiled and said, "The Buddha said, don't say it."
Some people don't understand: "What do you mean?"
"Just can't say."
"Even we can't tell?"
Chang Sheng nodded.
So everyone was speechless. Originally, they wanted to play the emotional card, but in the end they often won the denial of their relatives.
Some people want to use aggressive methods: "Actually, you don't have any ideas at all, right? The so-called setting a new record is what you said casually to tease those media, right?"
Chang Sheng also smiled mysteriously.
No explanation, anyway, everyone will know by then.
In the end, no one knew what Chang Sheng meant by "creating a new record".
As a result, such an opinion gradually formed in the media.
That is, Chang Sheng is trying to scare people. In fact, he has no plan to "create a new record" at all.
Everyone is played by him in the palm of his hand.
But what's the point of him playing with everyone like this? It doesn't make sense at all.
Maybe it was meaningless in the first place, it was simply because he was full and had nothing to do...
Pity those reporters and editors who have been tossing about this topic for several days. They were played around, but in the end they were all in vain!
A group of reporters and editors scolded Chang Sheng in private for being boring, shameless and unscrupulous.
Although Chang Sheng has always been boring, shameless and unscrupulous, but this time the media really wronged him...
※ ※ ※
Chang Sheng only relies on a word without thinking. It made the media all over Italy busy for several days, and became the focus of the media for several consecutive days.
This has to make people feel Changsheng's current influence.
In Rome, this influence is also presented in the most intuitive way.
On the streets of Rome, many advertising posters of Chinese companies and brands began to appear, and these advertising posters belong to different Chinese companies, but they have one thing in common, that is, the protagonists in the advertisements are all the same, all of them are always victorious!
Chang Sheng with different appearances and different temperaments!
Some Italian media exclaimed that this is a full-scale invasion of the Chinese economy.
Chang Sheng is naturally the vanguard of this.
Chinese enterprises have entered the European market with the golden signboard of Changsheng. Frequent appearances in front of Italian consumers.
And Chang Sheng gained both fame and fortune.
Since there are advertising endorsement fees to get, these advertisements in turn promote himself.
Chang Sheng has now become a "phenomenon", he is the most well-known Chinese in Italy. Italians may not know who the President of China is, but they must know who Chang Sheng is.
After Changsheng led Lazio to win the first Triple Crown in Italian football history, the Rome city government awarded him the title of honorary citizen of Rome.
This honorary title means Changsheng's status in the minds of Italians.
No matter how much you hate him, you can't deny what he's accomplished.
And his status is the accumulation of these achievements.
The media criticized him, calling him a controversial figure. But it is undeniable that the ratings and sales of these media are driven by hype and topics related to Changsheng.
Roma fans hate Chang Sheng and often curse him. But they also secretly fantasized that if the old Sensi hadn't chased Chang Sheng away, the team that now monopolizes Serie A and wins two Champions League titles should be Roma...
other teams. Fans such as Juventus, Milan, and Inter Milan will also be unhappy about winning. But they have also stated explicitly and secretly that they hope that the club can do more to bring Changsheng to the team that coaches them.
When Chang Sheng is their enemy. They wish Chang Sheng would die. But they all hope that Chang Sheng is with them...

Before the next Champions League group game, Lazio still has a league game. The fifth round of the league challenged Chievo away.
Because three days later it will be the Champions League group match against Werder Bremen at home, so in this game, Lazio has carried out a large rotation.
But even so, Lazio's rotation still beat Chievo 1-0 in the away game. Maintained a complete victory for the new season.
After the game, Chievo coach Pioli said helplessly: "We have nothing to do when we meet Lazio. They are too strong. It is simply not our team on earth, and we have nothing to do... Although they have a large rotation, But there's nothing we can do about it..."
The head coach kept repeating the phrase "there's nothing we can do" in his post-match press conference.
Now is the Internet age, as long as anything is online, it will spread very quickly.
A good person put this video of him at the post-match press conference on the Internet.
Someone re-edited the video in a ghostly way. In the video, Pioli kept repeating "We have no way" along with the rhythm of the music.
Not to mention, it really has a taste of rap music.
As a result, this video became popular all of a sudden, and more people joined in the spoof adaptation of Pioli's post-match press conference video.
"There is nothing we can do" has also become a popular phrase on the Italian Internet, quoted by many people.
For example, guests on a TV political commentary program all quoted this sentence to express their anger at the inefficiency of the government. "We have no way, yes, of course we have no way, if we had a way, we would have settled this matter long ago, haven't we?"
Someone even adapted the song "We Can't Help It", and it even made it into the top ten of the best-selling golden songs on the Internet...
Pioli didn't expect his mantra in the post-match press conference. But it made him unexpectedly popular on the Internet.
He was also very helpless about this: "What can I say? I have nothing to do..."
※ ※ ※
It is Pioli who is popular in this matter, and has little to do with Chang Sheng.
Three days later, the victorious team welcomed Werder Bremen at home.
This is Rome's first Champions League home game this season at the Stadio Olimpico.
The same is full of seats.
When Lotito saw this scene on the rostrum, his heart was bleeding.
Fortunately, the design drawings of the new stadium have come out, and it is not too far before the groundbreaking begins.
This trip to China was very rewarding for Lotito. He successfully secured sponsorship from Chinese capital for the new stadium. Of course, the price he paid was the transfer of 15% of his equity to the Chinese consortium.
Lotito is a man who knows how to do business, he chooses the way of nature. Give up fifteen percent of the equity. In exchange for the new stadium and the surrounding commercial and residential developments, that is the big money maker...
Now only waiting for the design drawings to pass the review, the new stadium will officially break ground.
Lotito thought that this day was not far away. He trembled with excitement.
※ ※ ※
In the packed Stadio Olimpico, Lazio were also in good shape.
Players especially like the feeling of a full stadium. Playing in this atmosphere, they feel that they are in good shape.
Lazio in good condition came to a big victory without any suspense at their home court!
4:0!
Lazio overwhelmed Werder Bremen.
The third place in the Bundesliga last season, in front of the Serie A champion, is simply vulnerable!
Two Champions League group games. Lazio scored seven goals without conceding a single goal!
This performance made the whole of Europe focus on them.
"The defending champion Lazio proved that they are still a strong contender for the Champions League with two group games. As everyone said after the group draw, no team in this group can prevent Lazio from being the first in the group. Out of the group ... Lazio proved it."
"A winning team is in very good form. It's unbelievable, in general. After a team wins the Treble, there is a dip in form because the players lack motivation... But look at Lazio. There is no such situation at all! I admire Chang, because I don't know how he did it..."
"4:0! Lazio killed Werder Bremen mercilessly at their own home court. But we can't call this a victory for Italian football against German football. You must know that in this game, there are three players in Lazio's starting list. German players, they are important contributors to Lazio's 4-0 victory..."
Media from all over the world rushed to report and comment on the game.
European bookmakers have also adjusted their odds.
The current defending champion Lazio has the most favorable odds to win the title.
If you buy them to win the championship. Lottery players will not make much money.
But even so, in the bookmaker's internal statistics. There are still many lottery players who bought Lazio and were able to successfully defend their title.
They would rather earn less, but they definitely won't lose money...
The lottery voted with their feet for the ever-victorious Lazio.
The distant Chinese media naturally paid more attention to Lazio, because Lazio's head coach is Chinese.
Since becoming the head coach of Lazio after growing up, the Lazio fans in China have become the happiest people.
The exposure rate of Lazio on TV has increased sharply, and CCTV will broadcast Serie A matches as much as possible.
The most important thing is that Lazio's performance is very good, which makes the Lazio fans in China very happy.
In China, there are not many Lazio fans. Now it is expanding rapidly, all because of Changsheng.
After Lazio beat Werder Bremen 4-0 at home, the forums where Lazio fans gathered in China were also filled with various joyful posts.
Dong Qiudi looked at these posts on the forum, clicked in and read them one by one, from the main post to the follow-up posts, he didn't miss them all.
But he doesn't reply, he just reads.
Just like this, he felt very refreshed.
A few years ago, did he ever think that there would be today?
I have been a Lazio fan for more than ten years. I first fell in love with this team from a classic blue jersey of Lazio.
Followed Lazio through ups and downs.
But I never dared to think that there would be such a glorious moment.
Those passionate words on the forum are also stirring his heart.
He looked at these words, and suddenly, a bold idea appeared in his mind.
To Italy, to Rome!
I'm going to Formello to watch a winning training session, and I'm going to the North Stand of the Stadio Olimpico in Rome to watch a Lazio game!
