Chapter 12: Peerless Master

The next day, the media was full of criticisms of Changsheng and Lazio.

The media took a two-pronged approach.

On the one hand, they criticized Lazio for its poor performance and continued to criticize Lazio, expressing that they were not optimistic about Lazio's prospects for the season. On the other hand, they ridiculed Changsheng as a coward without balls, saying that he did not attend the post-match press conference on the pretext of something important. Everyone has seen this before. What important things could there be? He just didn't dare to attend the press conference, fearing that he would be speechless when asked by reporters.

Although Changsheng has won many championships in European football and has a high status, the media still likes to black him. This is mainly because Changsheng never hides his disdain for the media. In the eyes of the media, no matter how successful he is, he is still a controversial figure.

Because many of his words and deeds always cause controversy and are not pleasing to people.

And Changsheng has never tried to change himself in order to quell controversy.

Just like Ferguson, many people respect the old Sir Alex Ferguson, but there is no lack of topics and controversy about the old Sir Alex Ferguson.

So Changsheng's current treatment is not surprising at all.

There is even a phenomenon that some media like to chase Changsheng and blacken him. As long as it is Changsheng's business, they can always find something to criticize in it.

This is just like the public intellectuals can always bypass the system no matter what the problem is, and then criticize it.

Some of these media hope to hype themselves by blackening Changsheng, establish a unique image and brand positioning, and tell everyone that they are independent and non-flattering media. These days, attitude is very important for media. As long as you say that you are a media with attitude. You can immediately win the favor of many people. Because everyone thinks they have independent spirit and ideological principles... In fact, everyone knows that all crows are black, so no one should pretend to be cool.

There are also some media that really have a personal grudge against Changsheng, and they can't stand Changsheng's good. As long as Changsheng has problems, they will gloat over his misfortune and blacken him happily.

Changsheng turned a deaf ear to the criticisms of the media, and these criticisms could not hurt him at all.

As for what they said about Lazio not playing well...Lazio did play badly. So there is nothing to say about this.

They asserted that Lazio would get nothing again this season, so this matter can only be slapped in their faces when the season ends.

It is useless to say too much now,

it is just a waste of saliva.

So Changsheng remained silent in the face of overwhelming criticism and ridicule.

After the first round of the league, Changsheng had to fly to distant Moscow to participate in the new season's Champions League draw ceremony held there.

Since UEFA decided to host the European Super Cup in turn, more European cities have become the venues for the European Super Cup. At the same time, the draw ceremonies for the Champions League and the Europa League are also arranged in the city where the European Super Cup is held, rotating every year.

This year it is Moscow's turn.

This time, Changsheng also came with the team's player Mario Gotze and the team's general manager Tare.

Mario Gotze was selected for the European Best Team last season.

Lazio has not gained much in all fronts in the past two years, so their players have won fewer awards.

The European Golden Ball Award at this time of year is also isolated from them.

For two consecutive years, no Lazio player has won the European Golden Ball Award.

And you should know that before this, almost every two years, a European Golden Ball Award would go to Lazio.

※ ※ ※

Although Lazio's dominance on the court has declined a lot. But Changsheng is still the focus of the media.

After arriving in Moscow, he was surrounded and blocked by the media.

When walking on the red carpet at night, he was the focus of the media. When he showed up, the flash never stopped.

Although the fans' reaction to him was relatively cold, the enthusiasm of the media formed a sharp contrast.

This enthusiasm was not even seen when Changsheng coached Lazio.

This is naturally because Changsheng announced that his contract renewal negotiations with Lazio Club failed, and he will leave Lazio next season.

It's like a peerless master who has been living in seclusion in the mountains for a long time. Because he has never come out of the mountains, people are not very interested in him.

But if one day, this peerless master suddenly announced that he would come back. That is, his words could set off a bloody storm in the entire martial arts world.

Everyone would naturally pay special attention to it, and they all wanted to see how strong this peerless master would be after his comeback.

Others were concerned about why this peerless master came out of the mountain, and which side he would stand on in the complicated entanglement of martial arts sects.

He is a heavy weight, which side he chooses will have an advantage, and the advantage will be obvious.

Changsheng is such a peerless master.

When he was in Lazio, everyone's attention to him was limited to the championship and the game.

More enthusiasm was lacking.

Because everyone knows that he has always been the head coach of Lazio, the pattern of European football is relatively fixed.

Now it is different, he will leave Lazio, so his next stop will be particularly eye-catching.

European giants also moved because of him.

Everyone hopes to get Changsheng to stand on their side, so that the championship is guaranteed.

And Changsheng's rejection of all invitations from the giants has whetted everyone's appetite.

Everyone is better at choosing which team to coach next season. At the same time, those giants who were rejected will not feel discouraged or dissatisfied. They will step up their offensive against Changsheng, increase their offers, and propose contracts with better treatment.

It is to attract Changsheng's favor.

Changsheng announced that he rejected the invitations from those teams because he wanted to lead Lazio in the last season with peace of mind, and at the same time show an attitude to show Lazio's players that he is not a deserter, so that those players will not be embarrassed to run away first. Stabilize the morale of the army.

However, in the eyes of conspiracy theorists, Changsheng's approach is obviously a very good self-promotion strategy.

This attitude of wanting to refuse but also to welcome can arouse the interest and desire of the giants.

So in order to sign Changsheng, they have to pay more.

If Changsheng had signed with a club early. Then naturally there would be no above effects.

So some media said sourly that it was no wonder that Changsheng had his own investment company in business, he was really good at business...

In addition, Lazio's poor performance in the first round of the league also made many people pay more attention to Changsheng.

They wanted to see how Changsheng would lead the team to regain its glory and what mark he would leave in his last season as coach of Lazio.

As a result, the first game of the new season turned out like this...

People who can't see good things think it's funny.

People who care about Changsheng are also worried.

However, under these complicated gazes, Changsheng seemed very calm.

He walked calmly on the red carpet in front of the public and under the cameras of reporters.

Just when he was about to reach the door. He was stopped.

Looking back, it was his disciple Guardiola.

So Changsheng stopped and turned around to wait for Guardiola.

How could Guardiola let Changsheng wait for a long time?

He didn't care to wave to the fans and the media. He took two quick steps and then trotted, running directly in front of Changsheng.

The two shook hands and hugged in front of the reporters.

At this time, Stramaccioni also came to the red carpet and naturally saw Changsheng.

Like Guardiola. Stramaccioni rushed over and greeted Changsheng.

Then, there was a commotion among the crowd waiting outside.

The fans suddenly screamed, and the reporters' flashlights were powerful again.

This scene startled Changsheng, Guardiola and Stramaccioni.

Everyone turned their heads to see that it was Chelsea's players who came!

Chelsea was the champion of the Champions League last season, and this time the European Golden Ball Award. It is very likely to be born from Chelsea's players. The media broke the news.

As star players, they are very popular wherever they go.

Chelsea's head coach Di Matteo appeared with Chelsea's players.

The bald head coach had a bright smile on his face. He waved to the media and fans frequently.

Last season, his Chelsea not only won the Champions League, but also won the league championship with an absolute advantage.

He also became the most popular head coach in Europe today.

His personal career is at its peak.

"The big star is here! Ha!" Stramaccioni laughed when he saw this scene.

Changsheng and Guardiola also laughed.

Almost at the same time, Di Matteo also saw Changsheng and the others.

He was stunned at first, and then the smile on his face became even bigger.

He didn't care to smile to the reporters. He waved to the fans.

He also almost ran to Changsheng, and then gave Changsheng a strong hug.

Then he greeted the other two brothers and sisters.

"Well. The feeling of a famous coach is coming out." Changsheng joked about Di Matteo, and Guardiola and Di Matteo both laughed.

Although he was very high-spirited in front of the media, Di Matteo was still a little embarrassed when he heard Changsheng say that. He touched his big bald head and smiled shyly.

These three coaches are now coaching in the first-tier teams in Europe. They are the ones who have the final say in their respective teams. However, after seeing Changsheng, they all came over at a trot, which shows their respect for Changsheng.

Maybe they can joke with Changsheng, hug and kiss each other, and they are not serious.

But some things are deeply rooted in their hearts, and they can only be reflected through some details.

This kind of respect is more real than those superficial face-saving efforts.

The four people quickly entered the gate.

The reporters who witnessed this scene had to sigh at Changsheng's status among the coaches he had coached.

This is a real peerless master...
