Chapter 41 Lonely UEFA (One Hundred and Eight/One Hundred and Thirty-Four)

At the post-match press conference, Lazio's head coach Chang Sheng had a heated exchange with Nottingham Forest's head coach Tony Twain. M

Of course, the two people cannot be face to face. After all, they will not attend the press conference on the same stage.

The confrontations were all conducted through reporters.

For example, what Tony Twain said was relayed to Chang Sheng through reporters.

Then Chang Sheng will reply.

Of course, Chang Sheng's reply will appear in the next day's newspapers, the Internet, and TV.

If Tony Twain is unwilling to give in, he will continue to make noise through the media.

At this time, naturally, those who attended the press conference later took advantage.

Chang Sheng was the last person to attend the press conference.

Tony Twain expressed disdain for his failure at the press conference he attended first.

"Did we fail? Judging from the score, we failed. But I don't think we failed. As the weakest team in this group, we showed our courage away from home. Lazio only beat us by one goal , they looked shabby for a huge part of their scoring run and I'm proud of how our guys performed tonight."

Then he ridiculed Lazio's performance: "Everyone says that Lazio is the strongest team in Europe, but in my opinion it is nothing more than that. A team in the fourth tier of the group has only won one goal. Is this the former European hegemon? Then I have to say that the level of European football has declined very quickly!"

After speaking, Tony Twain curled his lips and shrugged.

A group of reporters below rolled their eyes.

This is too arrogant to say. It seems that it is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks about the level of European football, right?

Chang Sheng laughed after listening to Tang En's original words relayed by reporters: "I understand Mr. Tony Dunn very well. As a loser, I feel unwilling to accept it. It is normal to have complaints of one kind or another. We must give It gives losers an opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction so that they don’t have psychological distortions and split personalities.”

Tony Twain also thought that returning to the home court would

Nottingham Forest will still have a good chance of winning.

"Our goal when we return home is to win."

A reporter asked him why Nottingham Forest defeated Lazio at home.

Tony Twain smiled and said: "With our home field advantage."

Such an answer naturally did not satisfy the reporters, but no one asked further.

Everyone thinks this is a trick done by Tony Twain after he has run out of tricks.

If you keep asking, you'll probably get "no comment."

A reporter relayed this sentence to Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng rolled his eyes. Facing Tony Twain like this, he didn't know what to say.

That's what people say. What can you say about him?

Home field advantage, sure. But can their home court advantage be so great that it can completely make up for the strength gap between the two sides?

Chang Sheng is unbelievable.

Anyway, if Tony Twain said this, Chang Sheng felt that there was no need to reply to him.

So he said calmly: "Let's wait until the game. I'm also looking forward to seeing Nottingham Forest's 'home advantage'."

Changsheng deliberately emphasizes the term "home field advantage" very seriously.

Many reporters below burst into laughter.

They thought Chang Sheng was mocking Tony Twain.

※ ※ ※

The next day, the media published the conversation between the two coaches. Naturally, they wanted to hype it up.

Chang Sheng has long been famous in the European football media circle. It was a powder keg that ignited at the drop of a hat - of course it was at the beginning, but not anymore.

But the reason why he doesn't get angry very much now is because he hasn't encountered any opponent worthy of fighting?

Well now, Tony Twain came out of nowhere. When he was coaching Nottingham Forest, the team was still in the lower leagues, and he had already appeared in the national media many times. Just because of his mouth.

Now that the old generation of madmen and the new generation of madmen have finally met, how can they not have a good fight?

But unfortunately, there really isn't.

At a time when the media is bent on hyping up the situation and allowing both sides to continue to quarrel. Both head coaches remained silent.

This surprised and disappointed the media.

If the two big mouths don't squirt anymore, what's the point?

So why don't they spray?

Chang Sheng felt that there was nothing to say now, and his status was higher than Tony Twain. He still had to give in and chase the opponent to bite him. That seems to be too low a level.

Tony Twain remained silent because he couldn't care less, he was too busy!

What are you busy with?

Of course, they are busy preparing for the second match against Lazio. This home game will be an important game related to whether Nottingham Forest can qualify from the group.

Now after three rounds of group matches, Nottingham Forest is no longer second in the group because it lost to Lazio in an away game.

The second place in the group is occupied by Real Madrid, who defeated Borussia Dortmund at home in this round of group matches.

Dortmund are now bottom of the table, while Nottingham Forest are third.

If they lose to Lazio at home, the situation will be even worse.

After all, their remaining two games are away to Real Madrid and home to Dortmund.

It is very difficult to win Real Madrid away, and it is also very difficult to draw.

If they accidentally lose to Real Madrid, then everything will be over...

In order to qualify from the group, Tony Twain will do everything he can.

He naturally has no time to deal with the media and Changsheng now.

※ ※ ※

The game with Nottingham Forest is not exciting or beautiful, but it is enough to win.

Lazio, who has won all three games, ranks first with nine points. If nothing unexpected happens, I am afraid that no one in this group can stop them from qualifying.

UEFA's tricks were resolved by Lazio.

I don't know how UEFA will feel when seeing such a result.

It will probably be very unhappy, right?

That's right, Changsheng wants this result.

And not only to qualify from the group, Lazio also has to strive for the first place in the group.

Judging from the current situation of this group, it is estimated that this is not a difficult task.

This is really embarrassing for UEFA.

They wanted to embarrass Lazio. Now they are embarrassing themselves.

After the game with Nottingham Forest, Changsheng mocked UEFA again on his personal website.

This has become his habit. After every Champions League game, he will post a joke mocking UEFA on his personal website.

Each joke is different, very sarcastic and spicy, and also very funny.

Therefore, these jokes of Changsheng are widely circulated, not only on the Internet, but also in traditional media.

This naturally makes UEFA very unhappy.

Because they have become the object of ridicule all over the world.

They are stealing chickens and losing rice. They lose the lady and the army.

They took great pains to get Changsheng to the death group, but unexpectedly they became the green leaves of his big red flower...

Some media publicly stated that there is probably no more stupid football association in the world than UEFA.

As for Lazio's ugly win in this game?

Who cares?

In the face of victory, this is insignificant, unless the game is lost. Otherwise, the winner will never consider the scene.

Only UEFA criticized the game between Lazio and Nottingham Forest on its official website, saying that it was "conservative and negative, and a regression of modern football."

If Changsheng and Tony Twain had joined forces to curse UEFA, it would have been a success for UEFA.

But neither of them responded to UEFA's sour article.

This is so sad!

UEFA wanted to find someone to curse, but no one paid attention to him!

After the game with Nottingham Forest, it was the league.

In the ninth round of the league, Lazio played against Cagliari at home.

Just finished the Champions League group match with Nottingham Forest. Lazio looked a little tired.

Changsheng started to rotate, and the team's strength declined.

But they still won a small victory over Cagliari 1:0 at home.

At least they didn't lose two consecutive rounds.

Lazio, who won all three points at home, also continued to rank first with the advantage of goal difference.

After nine rounds of the league, the top three teams still have the same points. They are all 22 points, and the goal difference determines who ranks first, second and third.

It can be seen how fierce the competition is this time.

If you are not careful, you may be left behind.

After the game with Cagliari. Lazio's opponent in the next round of the league is Milan.

Milan has won the Champions League twice in the past ten years, and it can be regarded as a strong team.

But that is the result of the past. It cannot represent the current Milan.

Today's Milan is undergoing a blood transfusion.

The heroes who led the team to win the Champions League have left, and the old ones have left.

They are now in the pain period of blood transfusion. It is normal for them to have poor results and fluctuating status.

Although Milan's strength has begun to decline, the game between them and Lazio is still quite concerned by the media and fans.

Milan has always been a traditional giant, and its performance has remained relatively stable. In the first decade of the 21st century, they won a Champions League title and several league titles, and have always maintained the top level. Occasional ups and downs have not affected this.

In the second decade of the 21st century, they won two Champions League titles. In addition to Lazio, they are the Italian team that has won the most Champions League titles in this decade.

The reputation is very loud.

It can be said that in the first twenty years of the 21st century, Lazio and Milan are the two most successful teams in Italian football.

The confrontation between these two teams is a strong dialogue and has attracted much attention.
