Chapter 303 The Most Intense Derby in Italy

In Lazio's home game against Roma, Lazio's fans naturally accounted for the majority, so the scene was basically all fans cheering for Lazio.

Lazio fans also displayed a giant fist logo in the North Stand.

It was a high raised fist, before Chang Sheng led Lazio to face Roma for the first time in the Rome city derby, he made a gesture in the middle circle of the Olympic Stadium to the crowd of Roma fans.

You must know that it was the home court of Roma. At that time, the Roma fans greeted Chang Sheng's appearance with boos and curses.

They thought that Chang Sheng would be intimidated by their reality, but no, Chang Sheng acted tougher than they imagined.

It can even be said that in the history of the Rome derby, no Lazio coach would treat hostile fans like this.

It's not that the hatred between them is not enough, but because no head coach has the same knowledge as the fans.

But Chang Sheng did just that.

He ran to the middle circle, raised his fist, and fought against the Roma fans!

The scene at that time... almost made every Lazio fan present excited, and even now recalling it will bring tears to my eyes!

At that time, Lazio was at a low point, completely overwhelmed by their rivals in the same city.

Still at Rome's home court, Chang Sheng was not afraid, and raised his fist at them despite boos all over the sky.

It was an act of demonstration, but also an act of fearlessness.

It symbolizes Lazio's courage.

Since then, Lazio has completed their Phoenix Nirvana.

Since then, Lazio has dominated Serie A consecutively, and also won a UEFA Cup and two Champions League titles, becoming the most recognized team in the first decade of the 21st century.

Although Lazio has long become a world-class team, this action still keeps many Lazio fans in mind.

To commemorate this punch. They made such a huge banner and engraved Chang Sheng's action on it.

At first it was a full-body photo of Chang Sheng, then it became a black and white painting, and now it is simplified into a fist.

No need for anything else, just this fist, this posture, everyone knows what it means.

This is Chang Shengdao's punch that broke the sky, and he broke a new world for Lazio!

Every important game, this flag will appear on the stands of the Olympic Stadium. But this year is the first time in the North Stand.

Because the malignant "uncultivable faction" in the North Stand has been expelled, the North Stand will reopen in the new season and sell tickets to ordinary fans.

The North Stand is no longer a site occupied by those extreme fans, but has become a place where all fans who love Lazio gather.

Today, the flag is unfurled on the North Stand. There were also fan leaders who took the lead in chanting: "If you support Lazio, you pump your fist!"

So almost all Lazio fans stood up and raised their fists high.

Dong Qiudi was naturally among them.

He looked at the flag on the north stand and was also fascinated.

It's a pity that he is already a member of Lazio's coaching staff, and he can only sit in his own position, and it is impossible to run to the North Stand again.

※※※

The Lazio fans turned the Stadio Olimpico into a hell in Rome at this moment. The huge flag and tens of thousands of fists are enough to make Rome terrified.

They can look forward to a crushing victory. Just like those games that came before, or even more hearty than those games that came before!

But after the game started, it didn't go as smoothly as they had imagined.

Just seven minutes into the game, Lazio's starting center Cavani suffered a serious foul from Roma defender Burdisso. I fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

"It's a foul! It's definitely a foul! A very bad foul!" the commentator Caresa exclaimed in the commentary booth. "Burdisso was like a bulldozer, shoveling Cavani into the air, then flipping in the air, and finally fell to the ground... This foul is visually scary enough. The result It's also scary! Cavani fell to the ground and didn't move. I guess he might not be able to continue the game..."

"Damn it!" Chang Sheng on the sidelines immediately jumped up from his seat. Then rushed to the sidelines, watching the field nervously.

The matter of finding the fourth official to protest was handed over to assistant coach Di Matteo.

The Italian followed him and yelled at the fourth official: "This foul is too bad! A red card is not an exaggeration!!"

The Lazio fans in the stands also uttered huge boos and curses to attack Burdisso.

※※※

Burdisso received a red card for his savage foul and he was sent off!

Those Roma fans in the stands booed, but their boos were immediately drowned out by the shouts of Lazio fans.

This is Lazio's home court. How can Lazio fans tolerate the arrogance of their rivals in the same city in front of them?

Are you still unwilling to give Burdisso a red card? You sons of bitches!

Lazio fans cursed Roma fans and Burdisso in the stands.

Especially Burdisso is not willing to go down, of course he knows what it means to end the game with a red card just at the beginning of the game. He hoped that he could ask the referee to forgive him.

It's just that the referee made such a penalty, and there are few changes.

So his end was inevitable.

Even if it was his teammates, it was meaningless for the captain to come and speak for him.

His foul action just now was seen by everyone, and the key point is that the visual impact is very strong. Cavani fell so hard. If this is not given a red card, it is really unreasonable...

"Burdisso received a red card for a foul in Rome's 1:5 away defeat to Cagliari in the second round of the league. Only eight rounds later, he received another red card Red card... This is the fourth red card for Roma in the league this season, Ranieri should emphasize the discipline of the team, they are already the team with the most red cards in the league!"

Caresa was still denouncing the brutality of Rome.

Lazio's team doctor has already gone up to give Cavani a simple treatment, and then the team doctor's team leader made a substitution gesture to Chang Sheng on the sidelines.

That meaning is obvious.

Cavani couldn't hold on to the game and had to end.

"Fuck!" Chang Sheng cursed a Chinese swear word.

But it was useless to scold now, he turned and walked to the bench.

Then he said to Klose, the substitute center for this game: "Milo. Get ready to play. Be careful of their defenders."

Klose nodded and stood up from the ground.

Then he got up. He began to take off his vest, and assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez followed up to explain the specific tactics to him with tactical maps.

Chang Sheng went to care about Cavani's injury.

He asked the team medical chief Fontana: "How is it?"

Fontana shook his head: "The situation is not good, Chang. I think he needs to go to the hospital for further examination immediately..."

Needing to go to the hospital right away is really bad.

Chang Sheng's face was so gloomy that he could drip water.

"And even if it's like this now, I know that this injury won't heal in at least a month or two..."

※※※

At this time, the slow motion of Burdisso's foul just now was being played on TV. Everyone could clearly see Burdisso flying a shovel from the front, the studs lit up, and it just hit Cavani's ankle. Cavani's ankle was kicked and deformed. Just watching it through the TV will make people feel ankle pain, let alone Cavani who got a solid kick.

"For this foul, Burdisso was sent off really unjustly...too bad!"

"It is indeed the most intense derby in Italy! The Rome derby is well-deserved! The game has only started for seven minutes. Some players left the field with serious injuries, as well as malicious fouls and red cards..."

"Cavani is injured, this is not good news, it seems that the injury is very serious, if it affects the next game, Lazio will have to rely on two old guys in the center position... This is definitely not the hope of winning. Saw... I think with a victorious temper, after this game. He definitely has something to say..."

※※※

So the game had only started eight minutes before Lazio had to make substitutions.

"This is a passive substitution. Cavani was injured and Klose replaced. A veteran was replaced. I think the Roman defender should be more polite to the old man!" The commentator of Rome Radio joked. He is the official commentator of the Roma Club, and those who listen to his commentary are all Roma fans. He is also a Roma supporter himself.

Burdisso has been sent off. However, he managed to get a Cavani, which is considered to have completed the task.

As for Klose. His performance after joining Lazio is quite remarkable. But this is the first Rome derby he has played, and he has no such experience before.

There were also Roma fans in the stands chanting: "Let him see what a Roma derby is!! Guys! Let them see!"

They pointed at Klose and yelled loudly in the stands.

They don't have any personal grievances with Klose, but who said that Klose is a Lazio player, and he is a newcomer to Lazio?

As a ceremony to welcome the newcomers, Roma fans must shout this.

Burdisso's foul caused Cavani's injury. These Roma fans did not feel guilty at all. They even thought that Burdisso did a good job. They complained that the referee should not send Burdisso off. Well, maybe this is Cavani diving? He was injured because he jumped too high and fell on his head.

This is the sworn enemy in the same city.

Can't wait for the other party to die immediately.

Klose ran onto the field amidst such hostile eyes. He was deaf to the noise around him.

Although this was his first time participating in the Rome City Derby, what scene hadn't been seen by the 32-year-old German veteran? Played the World Cup finals.

Roma fans think they can scare themselves with such a little booing?

Klose smiled.
