Chapter 351 Is Disclosed
After the game, the media were all paying attention to what Chang Sheng announced at the post-game press conference. m
"Lazio coach Chang accepted our interview at the post-match press conference. He talked about his goals for this season. He revealed that Lazio will defend the Triple Crown this season..."
"He often makes bold statements here! It seems that he really means what he said on the plane flying back to Rome from Abu Dhabi. He wants to create a future prospect that has never been touched before! He really is. Take the path that no one else has ever walked and do something that no one else has ever done!”
"If Lazio really defends the Triple Crown, it will really take a path that no one has ever set foot on! Because in the history of European football, there has never been a team that can successfully defend the Triple Crown! The closest The successful defenders were Ajax and PSV. They both won two championships in the second season of winning the Triple Crown, but they missed the third championship, especially Ajax. They defended the Champions League and League titles the following year, but fell short of the Dutch Cup title..."
"Looking at both now, Lazio will definitely not be able to win the league title, and there is not much suspense about the Italian Cup championship. The only suspense may be in the Champions League. Lazio's opponent in the quarter-finals is...Bayern Munich. Before last year's Champions League final, Bayern Munich could have been Lazio's nemesis, making Lazio's road to defending the title more difficult. But after experiencing the Bernabeu, everyone understood that Bayern Munich could not be Lazio's rival. It is almost impossible for those who are competing, especially the giants of the Bundesliga who are going through the period of replacement, to stop Lazio. At least Lazio can easily pass the Champions League round of 16 and be one step away from their Champions League title. Just a few steps away.”
"I don't know if Chang saying this will put pressure on his players. Anyway, I already feel the pressure. In fact, I also hope that Lazio succeeds... because as Chang said on the plane, what is the scenery ahead? , None of us know, and no one has seen a team that can defend the Triple Crown, so I am also curious about what world football will be like after a team does it..."
…
That night, not only Italy but also all European media were discussing this matter.
The media and fans were excited.
This is the first time Chang Sheng has shouted the slogan of defending the Triple Crown.
Everyone is looking forward to the constant victory leading Lazio to create a scenery that no one has ever seen.
Even many neutral fans hope so.
If a team can do it, they would be happy to do it.
in China.
Even more so, everyone almost unanimously supports Chang Sheng and Lazio.
Who makes Lazio's head coach a Chinese?
Chang Sheng's performance at Lazio proved that a Chinese football coach can also compete with other famous coaches on the top stage in Europe.
This greatly satisfies the national pride of many Chinese fans.

Chang Sheng's words also caused quite a stir among the Lazio players.
In fact, these players have already had a premonition. The boss has said that he will take a road that others have not gone before, how could he give up such an interesting and challenging thing as defending the Triple Crown?
It's just that the boss has never publicly admitted this before, as if he was secretly preparing for it.
Everyone still has some doubts in their hearts - maybe the boss doesn't think so? Are we misunderstanding this way?
But after the Coppa Italia quarter-finals with Naples, Lazio players all understood what the boss's decision was.
Their suspicions were confirmed, they were indeed going to defend the Triple Crown!
If anyone is worried that Chang Sheng’s announcement of this goal will put Lazio players under tremendous pressure, then they should take a look at the Lazio dressing room at this moment, and they will know how wrong they are...
"Did the boss finally say this? I've been waiting for him for a long time!"
"Defending Triple Crown Champion! I almost couldn't sleep last night! Boss's goal is so domineering!"
"This is indeed a road that has never been traveled before. No team has ever done it to defend the Triple Crown. Guys! From now on, we are creating new history every step of the way!"
Before the start of training for the new day, Lazio players were discussing this matter in the dressing room of the Vermelo training base.
There was no trace of nervousness or worry on the faces of everyone who talked about this matter. Instead, they had excited expressions on their faces.
It's like saying something very happy.
No one thought this was something difficult to accomplish.
For them, this season's league championship is already within their grasp, and the Italian Cup championship is not that difficult. It means that the only thing they have to deal with is the Champions League.
And with their strength, if they go all out in the Champions League. They firmly believe that no team can stop them.
This is where their confidence comes from.
Since we have said that we will pave the way with the boss and set up a monument for future generations, how can we back down in the face of difficulties?
Chang Sheng originally asked Fontana to pay attention to the players' psychological conditions.
Because he has made it clear, he wants to see if the players will retreat because of this goal and have various negative emotions of nervousness and giving up.
As a result, Fontana's reward was that the players performed perfectly.
"I have never seen a team with such high morale and confidence." Fontana's reply was like this. "Everyone is full of fighting spirit. They can't wait to fight with their opponents and completely defeat those teams that doubt them! This is a positive emotion, without any negative emotions, not a trace. So during this period of time, you should be able to rest assured about the mental health of the players."
"Speaking of which, this time it was also because of your words that the players who had lost their goals after winning the six championships found their goals again, so now when the goals appear, they will rush forward regardless of their own safety."
Fontana finally flattered Changsheng.
Changsheng accepted it with a smile.
This was all within his expectations, but no player backed down, and he was still happy to listen.
This shows that the Lazio team is also full of ambitions like him, and they want to expand the territory of the position.
Since there is a goal, it is easy to deal with. The most feared thing about leading a team is that there is no pursuit.
This is the reason why "people's hearts are scattered and the team is difficult to lead".

Since the players have no objection, Changsheng has even less objection.
In the next game, the whole team will go to defend the triple crown...
On January 29, in the 22nd round of the league, Lazio played against Fiorentina at home.
There was no suspense in this game. Lazio playing at home is very terrifying.
In the end, the Blue Eagles beat Fiorentina 2:0 at home.
Continuing their winning streak this season.
This is their 21st consecutive victory and their 61st consecutive unbeaten.
Getting closer and closer to the record created by Changsheng himself.
The 23rd round of the league is Lazio's away challenge to Milan.
Under Allegri's leadership this season, Milan has performed well. After experiencing the pain at the beginning of the season. They quickly found their own rhythm.
At present, Milan II has 46 points after two rounds of the league and ranks second.
If there were no terrifying Lazio, they would be the first in the league.
Lazio played 21 games in 22 rounds of the league, all won! With 63 points, they are 17 points ahead of Milan.
Such a huge difference makes the goal of competing for the league championship meaningless.
Many teams that usually have the strength to compete for the league championship now set their sights on competing for the qualification for the Champions League next season, which seems more realistic.
Otherwise, if they are behind by more than ten points or even more than 20 points, it would be a joke to talk about the league championship.
Although the league ranking points are very different, it does not mean that Milan has no way to deal with Lazio. In the fourth round of the league, Lazio defeated Milan 2:0 at home, but Allegri had just taken over the team at that time and was still in the pain period.
Since then, Milan's performance has been rising. Finally ranked second in the league.
The points are much less than Lazio because Lazio's performance is too stable. They can win no matter what opponent they face. Milan's performance is still within the normal range. Sometimes they lose and sometimes they draw.
In the 22nd round of the league, Milan drew four games and lost four games. Such performance is very normal.
It is too abnormal for Lazio to have neither lost nor drawn a game, so Lazio's performance has no reference value.
Moreover, the competition of a single game does not look at the previous results of the two teams, but only at the status and ability of the two teams in these two games.
Milan is in good shape now, and it is at home, so it is not to say that there is no hope of defeating Lazio.
Of course, before the game, Milan was very low-key from the club to the media. Especially the media, they no longer said such words as "This is a great opportunity for Milan to take revenge", "This is definitely a chance for Milan to take revenge", "This is 100% a good opportunity for Milan to take revenge".
Every time they said this in the past, Milan would die miserably in the end, so they have learned their lesson now.
They keep a low profile and do not talk about this matter, nor do they publicize the hatred between Milan and Lazio.
If you don't know enough about the relationship between the two clubs, you will think that the relationship between the two clubs is very good...
In fact, what a fart!
If you want to say which club Milan really hates now, I'm afraid it's not Inter Milan, the mortal enemy in the same city, but Lazio.
The main reason is that there are many personal grudges between Lazio's head coach Changsheng and Milan. He broke all kinds of Milan's records and made personal attacks on Milan's head coach Berlusconi... The hatred between them can't be finished.
Milan wants to eat their flesh alive.
If there is a chance, they don't mind cutting Lazio into pieces, but where is such an opportunity?
