Chapter 321 Cruel Reality

In this way, the Chinese national team completely settled down in Formello and began their training before the Asian Cup.

Except for the manuscripts sent back by the media reporters who scolded the Lazio club for unscrupulous means to make money, it was almost dark.

However, this has no effect on the Lazio club.

Domestic fans didn't follow them much to denounce the despicable, shameless and greedy Lazio club.

Everyone knew that Lotito was greedy for money, so it was only natural for him to do so.

Moreover, the training base belongs to others, and it is their freedom if they are willing to charge tickets. Whether it is legal or moral, it is not easy to criticize them.

It is an Italian team, but it is only because there is a Chinese head coach in the team that it has something to do with Chinese football.

You really have no way to let this Italian, who is not Chinese, carry forward his style and provide the Chinese national team with free venues, food and accommodation without asking for anything in return.

Lotito is a businessman. The Lazio club's finances have only improved for a few years. Up to now, the team's maximum salary is only 4 million euros. Lazio is required to not ask for anything in return, but to stand up and talk without pain in the back.

Besides, the reporters flocked there, what if they disturb Lazio's preparations? Collecting tickets is also to establish a threshold access system to ensure the quietness of the training base.

So the readers are quite reasonable, they are much more human than those reporters...

Those aggrieved reporters saw that their reports did not have any repercussions in the country, and the influence was pitifully low. Everyone was still more concerned about the preparations for the national football team. And the interaction with Lazio is more interesting.

The TV station in Shanghai broadcast live the teaching match between Lazio and the Chinese national team, and the ratings were surprisingly good.

This incident told those reporters a cruel fact-no one was interested in what tickets Lotti collected from them, and everyone only wanted to see the progress and news about the preparation and training of the Chinese national team.

Gao Hongbo's national team is playing well and has a relationship with Lazio. This made the anticipation of the Chinese fans suddenly burst.

So soon there was no news about reporters criticizing Lotito for being greedy and Chang Sheng turning his elbows out on newspapers, TV, and the Internet.

Those who heard that they wanted to go in for interviews and filming had to pay for Lazio club tickets,

The "tough-boned" reporters who turned around and left all came back at this time. Take the initiative to find Lotito and ask for money to buy a ticket.

They turned around and left before, pretending that they had a strong backbone, thinking that the Lazio club would definitely bow their heads and admit their mistakes in the storm of public opinion and revoke such a stupid decision.

So they blacked Lazio black the most fiercely in their own media positions.

In particular, the "Sports Weekly" headed by Ma Fangxing publishes several articles every day about black Lazio black Changsheng black Lotito black Gao Hongbo, and most of them will come from Ma Fangxing.

But later these people discovered that it was not Lotito who was brain-dead, but them.

They want to use China's public opinion to influence and threaten Italian clubs... How stupid is it to come up with such an idea?

Lazio will definitely not follow their example.

Sure enough, the Lazio birds don't bird them every time they come. They all told them: Either obediently pay and buy a ticket to enter the venue. Or wait obediently at the door. After the training is over.

Just like this, after a few times of sawing with the Lazio club, they surrendered.

Other media have first-hand photos and video materials, but they have nothing. I just can't figure it out by thinking about it.

In order to compete for eyeballs, they had to. I had no choice but to bow to the Lazio club.

In fact, they didn't care about such a small amount of money. Lotito still had a conscience, and he didn't really open his mouth like a lion.

They just think that why do we have to pay for the training in our own country?

However, they still lost in the face of the market economy, and the defeat was a complete mess.

In this way, they scolded and paid for it.

But only one media is an exception.

When Ma Fangxing was about to take out the money, Lotito stopped him: "You can't, you can't go in even if you give money."

Ma Fangxing was stunned for a moment and then became anxious. He asked loudly, "Why?!"

"You are reporters of "Sports Weekly", we have regulations, and any reporter of "Sports Weekly" is not welcome to conduct interviews in any form." Lotito shrugged.

Ma Fangxing knows this rule, so there has been no news about Changsheng in the "Sports Weekly", and reports about Lazio can't mention Changsheng, but if Lazio doesn't mention Changsheng, what else is there to report? Constant victory is the key word that Lazio can't get around.

Therefore, in this regard, "Sports Weekly" has been greatly affected. Their sales have been declining year by year. Coupled with the impact of the Internet, "Sports Weekly" has long since lost its past glory.

But Ma Fangxing thought that it was the "Sports Weekly" European football and Changsheng's grievances. What does it have to do with Laozi's domestic football? I'm here to report on the Chinese team, I don't care about your Lazio!

So he immediately protested: "This is unfair! We are here to interview the Chinese national team, and it has nothing to do with you Lazio! You have no right to do this!"

Lotito shook his head: "This is the Formello training base, which belongs to the Lazio club. The Lazio club has absolute control here. We say whoever is allowed to enter, whoever can enter, and whoever is said is not allowed to enter. , who is not allowed to enter!"

He said with a cold face.

The smile that always hung on his face was gone.

The businessman's face becomes faster than the child's face...

Hearing what he said, and seeing his expression, Ma Fangxing was instantly furious.

His main task is to follow up and interview the Chinese national team. Now that he is not allowed to enter the field, how can he report on the training situation of the Chinese team? Is it all about making up?

He took out his mobile phone, how dare the little Lazio club play with me?

There are people above me, you know!

Otherwise, how could I get so much first-hand information?

Ma Fangxing called an acquaintance in the Football Association and protested and complained about the matter to him.

Then he hung up the phone and said viciously to Lotito: "I have reported this matter to the Chinese Football Association. You have no right to interfere with the normal interview of reporters!"

Soon Lotito got a call too.

Ma Fangxing watched coldly from the side. It seems that the Football Association is still very strong, so he called Lotito's mobile phone so quickly.

He sneered, wanting to see what else Lotito could do.

He believes that the Lazio club has offered to provide a venue for the Chinese team to train. It is to use this to promote themselves, further promote their image in China, expand their popularity, and open up the Chinese market.

So at the beginning, people inside the Football Association said to themselves. It was the Lazio club who took the initiative to send out the invitation, not the Football Association.

He believes that if the Football Association exerts pressure, the Lazio club will not dare to violate it, because they cannot give up this opportunity to promote them in the Chinese market, so they will definitely succumb to the will of the Football Association.

He has this confidence.

Just thinking about it, Lotito hung up the phone, and then he came over to look at Ma Fangxing.

"Mr. Ma, I don't like swearing very much. So this makes it very difficult for me. But I still have to help people bring the words. Your National Football Association has communicated with us. They firmly obey our arrangement and never Stay out of our training ground affairs."

Lotito looked at Ma Fangxing and sneered. "In the end, I often ask him to bring you a message. He said: Ma Fangxing, right? Get out!"

Ma Fangxing stared at Lotito dumbfounded, unable to believe what he heard.

The Football Association doesn't care?

Chang Sheng still let him go?

This...world...something...crazy?

※※※

Ma Fangxing got lost in the end, and when he got out, he was quite distraught, as if he hadn't thought that things would turn out like this in the end.

Of course, if he doesn't know the inside story, he will naturally think that Lazio is begging the Chinese team to come here for training, but in fact, the Chinese team is eager to come to Lazio for training...

He died due to information asymmetry, and his death was not wronged at all.

※※※

When the Chinese team was preparing for the Asian Cup, Lazio was also preparing for the match against Inter Milan.

The fifteenth round of the league is Lazio's home game against Inter Milan.

If it were changed to the past, the confrontation between Lazio and Inter Milan must be the most anticipated and best-watched game in Serie A today.

But starting this season, that's not the case anymore.

Mourinho left Inter Milan this summer and went to Real Madrid to coach.

Everyone thought that Inter Milan would find a world-class coach of the same level as Mourinho to coach the team, and continue to challenge Lazio's hegemony. In Serie A, it seems that only Inter Milan has This strength is gone.

At that time, the media was very enthusiastic about finding a head coach for Inter Milan.

Among them, Guardiola is the most widely passed.

Because Guardiola was severely criticized by Cruyff after Barcelona lost to Lazio, everyone thought his time in Barcelona was over.

It just so happens that Mourinho is leaving Inter Milan, so it should be a logical thing for Inter Milan to find Barcelona coach Guardiola to coach, right?

Besides, with the grievances between Guardiola and Chang Sheng, if he comes, this league will be much better.

And Guardiola is currently the only coach in the world who is likely to beat Changsheng in key games...

But I didn't expect that the management of Inter Milan shocked the world again. The head coach they finally chose was...Leonardo!

Yes, Leonardo, who coached A Milan last season, was overwhelmed by Chang Sheng!

This is Lazio's opponent in the new season!

Many media have complained that Moratti's choice is really unpredictable.

They did not understand why Moratti chose Leonardo.

The only reasonable reason is that Moratti has given up the pursuit of the league title, and changed the competition object to the more realistic city rival A Milan.

So they invited Leonardo.

But with Leonardo's performance when coaching A Milan, can he really lead Inter Milan to beat A Milan?

I'm afraid it's difficult, right?

From this point of view, Inter Milan's invitation to Leonardo is probably not out of competitive considerations, but to take this opportunity to disgust the A Milanese.

After all, Leonardo has always been a member of A Milan, but now he has turned to his rival in the same city. This really surprised and shocked the supporters of A Milan...

Of course, there is also nausea.

Some people ridiculed that the true love in Leonardo's heart turned out to be Inter Milan. He worked hard for more than ten years as an undercover agent in Milan A, and now he can finally abandon the dark and turn to the bright. Otherwise, how to explain that he led A Milan to lose 0:4 at home to Inter Milan last season, and was double-killed by Inter Milan 0:2 away?

※※※

In this game against Inter Milan, now that Inter Milan's head coach has been replaced by Leonardo, Chang Sheng is not even in the mood to argue with the opponent's coach.

Prepare silently before the game, and then wait until the game starts, just start playing directly.

Leonardo also did not take the initiative to provoke a war of words. He was taught a lesson by Chang Sheng when he was in A Milan last season.

And after he coached Inter Milan, his grades were not good.

After fourteen league rounds, the Inter Milan he coached had six wins, five draws and three losses, with 23 points, ranking sixth.

In the past few seasons, whether it was Mancini or Mourinho, although Inter Milan was always at a disadvantage in the competition with Lazio, the overall performance in the league was still good. Never had such a bad situation. ranking?

Because of such results, Leonardo has also been under tremendous pressure, and naturally he has no confidence to challenge Changsheng.
