Chapter 375 The Most Important Match
"Six consecutive league titles! Unprecedented in Serie A!"
After the match with Schalke 04, "Corriere dello Sport" published such a headline. M
If you suddenly see this headline, you will only mistakenly think that the team that just played a game with Lazio was not the German team Schalke 04, but Parma, Lazio's opponent in the 32nd round.
Of course, it is not.
"Corriere dello Sport" said this simply because they are confident that Lazio can definitely beat Parma and win the championship.
In fact, even if Lazio did not win, they just tied Parma, they still won the championship.
Unless they lost the game and Milan won again, then the 20-point lead would become 17 points.
They can't win the championship in advance.
But no idiot would believe that Lazio would lose to Parma at home.
Throughout the season, whether it was the league, the Italian Cup, the Champions League or the Club World Cup, Lazio had never lost.
How could they lose to Parma in such a pizza?
If that were the case, then God would have played a big joke on Lazio.
"...If Lazio beat Parma at home..."
"No ifs, Cerezo. I don't think there is any suspense in this game..."
"No, no, we still have to be professional and cautious. Before the result of the game comes out, it is necessary to be cautious. So let's assume that if Lazio beats Parma at home..."
In TV programs, similar programs discussing Lazio's early championship can be seen everywhere.
"...Then they will win the sixth consecutive league championship! In the entire history of Serie A, no team has ever been able to do this, whether it is the Turin and Juventus that are in their heyday, none of them! Although Chang does not recognize the first league championship reissued to him by the Football Association, we recognize it. This is on record, whether he admits it or not, it exists there. Six consecutive league championships, so what else does Chang pursue next?"
"He can impact the record of seven consecutive championships in the five major leagues created by Lyon. I don't think it's too difficult for him, right? Of course, the record of thirteen consecutive championships created by the Norwegian overlord Rosenborg from 1992 to 2004 is still a bit far from Lazio...but we can also Let's put this record here first,
see if Lazio can do it..."
"Also, we can wait and see how far he can extend his unbeaten streak... He has now been unbeaten for 72 games! Amazing record! And he will definitely continue to extend this record! In the first half of the season, he said that he didn't care much about this unbeaten record, and now I think everyone has been deceived by him!"
"Now Lazio's goal may be to break various European records... We will have the honor to witness the birth of a real dynasty with our own eyes! In front of Lazio. Other dynasties in history are simply... weak!"
...
All media, everyone is talking about Lazio's record.
They completely ignored Parma.
And Parma couldn't express any protest against this neglect.
Because even they themselves didn't believe they could beat Lazio away from home.
Lazio has made full preparations for this game. It is said that they spent a lot of thought on their championship celebration alone. At that time, Avril, who has disappeared from the music scene for more than two years, will come back and sing her new song for everyone to celebrate her husband's team's six consecutive championships.
Avril deliberately chose this championship celebration as her first performance after her comeback, and naturally it was also to expand the influence of her husband's team and cheer for them.
And Avril's comeback also made the match between Lazio and Parma attract much attention, not only from fans, but also from fans and people in the entertainment industry.
When the live broadcast of the match is broadcast, you may see a lot of celebrities in the box...
Although this match is not a strong dialogue, it has become the focus of attention of the whole world because of various special meanings.
Such a match. Lazio will never allow Parma to disrupt the situation.
It's not that such a match has no possibility of disruption. When Real Madrid celebrated its 100th anniversary, it was the King's Cup final. Didn't Fang Min of Real Madrid also make very careful arrangements and preparations?
But in the end, the ever-victorious Valencia succeeded in counterattacking...
The key to the problem is that Lazio is stronger than Real Madrid back then, and Parma is far inferior to Valencia back then...
So this past success example has no reference value.
Another fact that made Parma completely lose its illusions is that even if it was only three days. Lazio still conducted closed training!
What does this mean?
Generally, when Changsheng does this, it means that this game must be won. He cares about the victory of this game, so he treats it so grandly.
For example, before the Champions League final last season. Lazio conducted closed training, and then defeated Bayern Munich 4:0 in the final.
So Parma did not expect that they could win this game when Lazio attached so much importance to this game.
※ ※ ※
Everyone in Lazio really attaches great importance to this game. Chang Sheng regards it as Lazio's fifth consecutive championship, tying it with the two greatest teams in Serie A history, while Lotito regards it as its sixth consecutive championship, making history.
But whether it is tying history or creating history.
There is always one thing that cannot be changed, that is, this game is very important for Lazio.
This can be seen from the ticket sales results.
Although in previous games, the Stadio Olimpico in Rome was full many times.
But "full" is a vague term. For the Olympic Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people, 70,000 people can also be called full, and 75,000 people are also full.
This time the game will make history at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
According to preliminary statistics based on ticket sales, the number of spectators at this stadium is likely to reach 80,000 by then!
Yes, eighty thousand people!
Not a vague concept. But it was accurate to the single digits of 80,000 people!
The seating capacity of the Stadio Olimpico in Rome is 80,000.
This attendance means that the stadium will be completely filled without leaving a gap!
Despite this, there are still many Lazio fans who hope to enter the stadium, even if they are allowed to stand - the Rome Olympic Stadium, as a football stadium, can accommodate 80,000 people because there are only 80,000 seats. But as a comprehensive stadium, the maximum capacity of this stadium is actually 100,500, of which in addition to 80,000 seats, there are 25,000 standing seats.
These Lazio fans obviously wanted to stand.
But for safety reasons. Football matches are required to have seating only. Even if this game is special, there is no room for negotiation.
At that time, in addition to the fans waiting to enter the stadium, there may be many fans stranded outside the stadium.
The security work at Rome's Olympic Stadium and surrounding areas will be put to the test, and the police will be under great pressure.
The Rome Police Department has come up with a comprehensive response strategy to this situation.
Make sure nothing goes wrong.
At this time, they had to thank Chang Sheng.
Because it was Chang Sheng who went to war with the "Uncultivated Faction" and completely expelled these extreme fans from the Olympic Stadium. This makes their current security work much less stressful.
Otherwise, if thousands of Uncivilized fans flood into the stadium, half of Roma's police force would have to be deployed here.
But of course, if the Uncultivated Faction really is still there, Lazio Club will not be able to sell so many tickets. By then, they may empty 10,000 seats just in case.
※ ※ ※
Three days passed quickly, while everyone was still discussing the topic of Lazio's sixth consecutive championship. Game day has arrived.
Lazio fans have been very excited since the morning.
There are also many Lazio fans from other places. Those from Italy arrived one day in advance, while Lazio fans from abroad arrived even earlier.
None of them were willing to miss such a historic opportunity.
Even without tickets. Also rush outside the Olympic Stadium to make a pilgrimage.
They must be with the team when it makes history.
For this reason, the Rome city government also specially installed four large screens in the square outside the stadium, located in the four directions of the east, west, north and south of the stadium, to gather fans who do not have tickets to watch the game here. This allows them to watch the game at the place closest to the team, and also facilitates centralized management by the police.
There are still five hours before the game starts. The stadium in Rome was already crowded with people outside the Olympic Stadium.
The police came in early to maintain order.
Everywhere you look, it's all blue.
The Stadio Olimpico in Rome is like a white cloud floating in the blue sky.
These are Lazio fans.
There was no sign of any Parma fans at all.
In fact, only about 500 Parma fans came.
Obviously they have no interest in being a foil for Lazio.
These five hundred people are real die-hards and don't care whether Parma wins or loses.
But there were too few of them, and if they were thrown in, they wouldn't even be able to make waves.
And for safety reasons, the police also asked them to wait until the game is about to start before entering, so they haven't shown up yet.
From before the game, during the game, to after the game, the protagonist was Lazio, and Parma seemed insignificant both as a team and as a fan.
There were dozens of media at the scene, and their cameras were only focused on Lazio fans, and only Lazio fans were interviewed.
It seems like today is a festival for Lazio fans.
Today is actually Lazio's day.
This is their chance to make history and write their names forever in the annals of Serie A.
Every year from now on, this day will have special commemorative significance for them.
