Chapter 368 The Confused Prince (Sixty-Nine/One Hundred Thirty-Four)

There are still many contents in the cooperation between Lazio Club, Chinese Football Association and Wanda Group. This is what the Chinese media has paid the most attention to in recent days.

They are discussing the situation after the tripartite cooperation.

Many media are also very interested in the football school built by Lazio in Dalian.

Lotito in Beijing has appeared in Chinese media many times. He frequently participates in various TV talk shows and accepts exclusive interviews from the media.

If only this period is counted, then he must be the most well-known club chairman in China.

Everyone knows that the chairman of Lazio Club is Lotito, and also knows what Lotito looks like. His photos have appeared on the covers of newspapers and magazines many times.

Changsheng did not return to China because he had to lead the team to play games, so all the things that came to the fore were left to Lotito.

Changsheng did not care.

What he wanted was to do practical things.

He did not care whether he came to the fore or not.

The last game of the 28th round of the league was Lazio's home game against Palermo.

There was no suspense in this game. Lazio won Palermo 3:0 at home.

※ ※ ※

Rome derby in the 29th round of the league.

In the first Rome derby of the season, Lazio beat Roma with eight goals at home, of which Klose scored seven goals alone, setting a record.

That game is still talked about.

Of course, for Roma fans, this is not a good thing.

After that game, the Sensi family announced the withdrawal of Roma, and UniCredit Bank of Italy took back the ownership of Roma and then listed it to the public, hoping to sell Roma.

For the past six months, they have been looking for a reliable buyer.

Now they have basically found it.

The United Consortium from the United States has basically reached an agreement with UniCredit Bank. They will acquire 60% of the shares of the Roma Club, and the remaining 40% of the shares will still belong to UniCredit Bank. Of course, UniCredit Bank can sell 20% of its shares to other local Italian buyers to ensure that UniCredit Bank has two seats on the board of directors.

However, the two parties have not signed an agreement. There is no actual transfer.

And even after the two parties signed the contract, in order to ensure the stability of the club, the representative of the American consortium, Di Benedetto, would not immediately take action against the management of Roma. He would let Rosella Sensi's management work until the end of the season, and then replace the management after the end of this season.

Now, the people of the Roma club can finally put their minds at ease.

The transfer has been basically negotiated. They have been running around for this matter in the past few months.

The team's performance has become very unstable.

Now, without the interference of these things. They can finally put their minds back to football itself.

As a result, when they came back to their senses, it was the Rome derby with Lazio.

This luck is really bad...

※ ※ ※

Before the Rome derby with Lazio, Totti became the focus of media attention.

Because just before this game, Ranieri, who was dismissed after the last Rome derby defeat, publicly criticized Totti in the media. He told reporters that in the locker room, Totti's power was too great and he was completely above the head coach.

The Prince of Rome ridiculed Ranieri for making excuses for his failure.

"I have been in Rome for so many years, and this is the first time I have heard a head coach say this..."

However, there are indeed some unfavorable voices against Totti in the media.

For example, one media outlet asked why Totti received a red card before the match with Lazio in the first half of the season and missed the game?

Because he did not want to be humiliated on the court.

This is obviously a criticism of Totti for deserting the battlefield.

This is questioning Totti's professional ethics.

Totti was furious when he heard this.

When he was interviewed by reporters, he said: "... I never save my strength in the game. I am always the one who is most eager to participate in the game. Then my absence from the Rome derby due to a red card suspension is an insult to me! People who know me know that I can play for 90 minutes in every game and I am eager to defeat my opponent. Even if we are temporarily at a disadvantage in the Rome derby. I have never given up the pursuit of victory! I will prove this in the next game!"

It seems that the media's criticism seems to have filled Totti with fighting spirit.

I wonder if this will have any impact on Lazio...

※ ※ ※

In the match against Roma, Changsheng still insisted on the strategy of "taking me as the main force". No matter what the opponent was like, Lazio would play their own football and play with the opponent in the palm of their hand.

As long as Lazio can play like this. There is no opponent in the whole Europe.

Not to mention Roma.

Although Totti expressed his determination before the game, he was once again helpless when the game started.

Lazio firmly controlled the football under its feet. It was difficult for Roma to gain possession of the ball, let alone attack.

Lazio strolled leisurely on the court, while Roma was like a group of headless flies, running around.

Totti tried very hard. But his efforts had no effect at all.

It didn't work at all.

He could only watch his team being divided and torn apart by the opponent.

Montella is still very young and inexperienced after all. Compared with Ranieri, his coaching level is not as good as the former. Facing a team like Lazio, he has no idea what to do.

So Roma had no idea about this game.

Lazio won quite easily.

Throughout the game, Changsheng sat in the coaching seat except for celebrating the goal. His butt never left the bench.

There was no on-the-spot command, nor anxious adjustments and substitutions.

The commentator joked: "If there is a mobile phone, I think Changsheng will even play mobile games during the game... I am sure he will do so. In order to humiliate his mortal enemy, he is willing to do everything..."

There are also commentators who criticized Totti: "Before the game, he said that he would go all out in the game to prove that he did not flee last time... But he did not have a decent performance in this game. He did not even have a threatening shot! I think, no matter what, people will suspect that his red card before the last Rome derby was for other purposes..."

As he was talking, a round of boos against Totti came from the stands.

From the south stand of Rome, where the extreme and die-hard fans of Rome gather.

The fans there support the Roma club 100% and also support Totti. When Totti repeatedly had conflicts with the head coach and the club's top management, these fans stood firmly behind Totti.

But this time, they actually started to boo Totti!

Obviously, they were not very satisfied with Totti's performance, and maybe they believed the "nonsense" of the media.

"What did we hear? Boos! Roma fans are booing Totti! This kind of thing is too rare!... No, it has never happened at all! This is the first time! Roma's die-hard fans are booing their idol!"

The TV broadcast just gave Totti a close-up.

Totti in the camera faced the boos of Roma fans with a confused expression.

In fact, in the Rome derby. This expression is not the first time that Totti has appeared on his face.

Of course, it is not always this expression.

Totti's expression in the Roma derby still has a change.

At first he was angry, and Changsheng had just gone to Lazio at that time. As a result, in the first match between the two sides, the ever-victorious Lazio defeated Roma 6:0.

Totti was very angry after the game. He couldn't believe that Roma would lose to that man, and lose so badly.

Later, his expression was unwilling.

Because he lost, he was unwilling.

This is the idea of ​​normal people.

Totti always thought that they should not lose. If they performed better, they would win. So he was unwilling to make up his mind secretly that he must beat Lazio next time, next time!

The next is numbness.

Every time he said that he must beat Lazio next time. As a result, he was beaten to the ground by Lazio every time. After so many times, it is inevitable that he will be a little numb.

Now, it is this confused expression.

I don't know how long this day will last, and I don't know what the future will be like. Changsheng has coached Lazio for six seasons, and it seems that he will continue to coach.

As long as he is still in Lazio's position, the derby between Roma and Lazio seems to be like this...

Now. Facing the boos from his fans, he still looked confused.

The fans' betrayal could not bring him any excitement.

The prince of Rome has fallen into complete confusion. He is very, very confused about the future of himself and the team.

He doesn't know if he can survive until the day when Roma defeats Lazio. Is it a player's career that is longer, or a coach's coaching time that is longer?

Obviously the latter.

Totti, who was born in 1976, is now 34 years old. Even if he plays until he is 40 and then retires like Maldini. Changsheng in 1972 was only 44 years old. For a head coach, this age is the golden age, and his experience and energy have reached the peak.

If nothing unexpected happens, and he is still coaching Lazio, Roma will never be able to turn things around...

"I think when Totti and Chang fell out in the locker room, he may never have thought about this problem. He has been suppressed by Chang for so many years... If Totti is given another chance to choose, will he choose to reconcile with Chang in the locker room? That is unknown... Anyway, for so many years, Totti has never talked about that matter, nor has he ever said that he and Chang have resolved the misunderstanding, and he has never made any explanation to Chang... I think this attitude itself is very telling, right? Now with Rome's defeat in the Derby again and again, these two people must be... mortal enemies!"

The commentator said, looking at Totti's face on the screen.

If time goes back and Totti meets Chang again, I am afraid he will still make the same choice as before.

Because he is the flag of the Roma club, he is the prince of Rome, and the Roma locker room is his territory, and Changsheng, an outsider, is trying to forcefully intervene. How can he tolerate it?

These two people are people who cannot tolerate different voices, and naturally they will collide with each other.

All I can say is that this is fate.

The fate of the Roma club, the fate of the Sensi family, and the fate of Totti, the prince of Rome.

They had to bear the consequences of the causes they had sown, watching their rivals win championships one after another. Now even Nesta has been inspired by Lazio and decided to end his time at AC Milan and return to Lazio.

Now, Roma fans have lost the last reason to laugh at Lazio fans...

How sad it is.

Roma is about to change owners, and the club is in a turbulent period.

On the other side, Lazio is developing rapidly under the leadership of Lotito and Changsheng, and a new stadium is about to be built.

This comparison has left many Roma fans with a grudge until now - if Sensi and Totti had a completely different attitude towards Chang, would they be the ones who are now laughing at their rivals?
