Chapter 81 The Tradition of the Italian Team

When Carraro resigned and Mazzini resigned, some media brought up Chang Sheng's words again, and they told readers: "Do you think this is over? Wrong! This is just the beginning!"

As the whole of Italy is stunned by the aftermath of the "Gategate" scandal, let's turn our attention to Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

Lazio, led by Chang Sheng, is currently training here for the UEFA Cup final.

In fact, just the second day after Carraro resigned, the whole Lazio team came to the Netherlands and devoted themselves to training.

The reason for leaving Italy is because the "phone gate" is now intensifying, and the whole of Italy cannot be spared.

In that case, staying in Italy will only make your team unintentionally prepare for the game and be deeply affected by it.

That's why Chang Sheng brought the team to the Netherlands, hoping to escape from the whirlpool of this matter.

However, the Italian football scandal has swept across Europe, and other European media have maintained a high degree of attention to the "Gate" incident in Italy.

As the only remaining Italian team in the European competition this season, Lazio naturally has attracted much attention.

Journalists flocked to PSV to interview and report on Lazio's preparations, but also wanted to ask them how they felt about what was happening in their home country.

Chang Sheng ran to the Netherlands just to let the team hide from this matter. Unexpectedly, when I came to the Netherlands, more reporters came to interview.

So Chang Sheng had no choice but to issue a gag order to the team, so that they were not allowed to discuss the "phone gate" incident in front of reporters and media.

If it doesn't work, he will consider not allowing players to accept any form of interview until they finish the UEFA Cup final...

But someone has to confront the reporter. Not to mention anything else, just talk about the pre-match press conference, someone has to attend it.

This matter can only be done by Chang Sheng.

But Chang Sheng doesn't care. Let him face the reporters and he is not afraid, let his players face the reporters, he doesn't know what will happen...

Moreover, the shady scene in Italian football has also affected Lazio's evaluation.

Many people now look at Lazio with colored glasses. They think that since Juventus has problems, who knows if Lazio also has problems?

This season Lazio can rank second in the league with such an ordinary lineup,

If there is no problem, no one will believe it, right?

Let's think again about how Lazio solved the economic crisis... They were able to handle the Italian treasury and taxation department. At that time, the agreement they reached with the Italian tax department caused dissatisfaction among many people, who believed that there was a problem, and the government obviously favored Lazio.

Why favoritism? Just because Lazio is the capital team. If the capital team goes bankrupt. That is simply slapping the Italian government, so they must not allow Lazio to go bankrupt.

Lazio's performance in the league this season also proves this-they have someone above them!

This can explain why Chang Sheng led such a team that has been put together for no more than one season, but can achieve such outstanding results.

The German media first began to question Lazio's performance this season. Their views were similar to those analyzed above. Anyway, they believed that Lazio's outstanding performance must have an ulterior background. Maybe in a few days. The investigation in Italy will find that Lazio was also deeply involved in the case during the call time.

Or maybe it was on the day of the UEFA Cup final that the news that Lazio was deeply involved in the Calciopoli scandal was revealed?

That would be a blast.

At that time, Lazio will definitely have no time to worry about the UEFA Cup final...

※※※

The German media are keen to hype this matter, and Chang Sheng knows why.

Because Lazio's opponent in the UEFA Cup final is Schalke 04 from Germany!

They beat Middlesbrough in the semi-final.

The German media made such a hype, hoping to interfere with Lazio's preparations. As for whether they have any evidence in their hands when they say so... The media never needs evidence to break the news! All you need is a mouth.

When the time is right, they can claim with great fanfare that they know what's inside. If you get it wrong, just pretend that your grandson doesn't mention it. In this era of information explosion, people's attention shifts quickly. It won't be long before anyone remembers their blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

But regardless of whether they guessed right or not, as long as they can influence Lazio before the UEFA Cup final, they will be considered a success.

In order to let your team win the championship. The media is omnipotent.

In such an important game in the past, the media of both sides would definitely spit at each other, and there would be a war of words before the game.

But this time Lazio's unfavorable factor is that Schalke 04 has German media to help them talk, but Lazio does not.

The focus of the Italian media at this time is all on "Phonegate". Not many Italian reporters came to report on Lazio's preparations for the UEFA Cup final, not to mention that most of the few people came for the "phone door". Would like to inquire more about "Telephone Gate" from Lazio.

In Italy, the media had little interest in Lazio's final, and no media stood up to speak for Lazio and refute the German media.

Lazio are completely alone.

But Chang Sheng doesn't care if the Italian media speaks for him. The vast majority of Italian media are helping him if they don't black him...

He never relied on the help of the media for the war of words, he relied on his own mouth.

Regarding the slander from the German media, Chang Sheng retorted: "Yeah, they are right. We have people not only in Italy, but also in UEFA! Otherwise, our team has only been put together for one season. How can a team that does not reach the UEFA Cup all the way to the final of the UEFA Cup? I suggest that the German media dig into this point, find out our backers in UEFA, and return European football to a bright future!"

What he said made the German media present feel embarrassed, their faces turned red and then pale, white and then black.

They patronize Black Lazio themselves, forgetting basic logic issues.

If Lazio performed well in Serie A is a problem, then Lazio also performed well in the UEFA Cup and reached the final, wouldn't that be a bigger problem?

It's like shooting yourself in the foot with a stone...

The British tabloids also came to join in the fun, and they asked Chang Sheng to talk about the phone calls that were happening in Italy.

Chang Sheng refused to answer: "Does this have anything to do with the UEFA Cup final?"

The British "Sun" reporter thought for a while and said: "You are also an Italian team..."

Chang Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Are you implying that we are also involved with Telephone Gate?"

The "Sun" reporter also realized that it was very serious to say that. The German media had just been slapped in the face by Chang Sheng. They had better not rush forward one after another, so they waved their hands quickly: "No, not..."

Chang Sheng nodded: "That's good, I refuse to answer questions about the telephone door."

The British reporter was also speechless.

The local Dutch reporter stood up and asked: "But you can't deny that what's happening in Italy does have an impact on your team..."

Chang Sheng replied: "I think this is a good influence."

Chang Sheng dared to say that because Chang Sheng already had a plan in mind. And he also knows the past and the future.

This year's World Cup, Italy also became a group of mourners because of the phone gate incident. No one is optimistic that Italy, whose backyard is on fire, will be able to win the championship. The last World Cup champion Brazil is the number one favorite, and the hosts Germany are not bad.

England is the strongest this year. Under the leadership of Bielsa, Argentina has played football with passion, beauty and achievements...

But there is no Italy.

The results of it? Chang Sheng is very clear that Italy has won the World Cup.

Italian teams seem to have such a tradition. When they are subject to controversy and criticism, when they are not favored by the whole world, they can burst out with huge energy and accomplish things that others think are impossible. .

The last example was the 1982 World Cup. At that time, there was also a scandal in Italy before the World Cup. The team's top scorer Rossi had just been released from the ball prison because of gambling. As a result, such an Italian team became the world champion, and Rossi became the current top scorer with six goals.

The 2006 World Cup in Germany proved this again. Italy in that World Cup was surprisingly united, everyone performed their duties and performed well. In the end, Italy's victory can be said to be a victory for the team as a whole.

Lazio is also an Italian team.

Although it is an Italian team that "Italy is most like Spain", it is also a serious Italian team.

Chang Sheng firmly believes that this matter is good for his team and has no harm at all.

He is a head coach who is good at taking advantage of the situation, whether it is in selecting teams or playing games.

Whatever happens in the real world, he is good at using it to help his team improve its combat effectiveness.

This time is no exception.

For such a big thing, the effect of improving combat effectiveness is even more significant.

He listened to the questions from these media reporters and even sneered in his heart.

Come on, come on, let the storm come harder!

The more the outside world criticizes, despises and suspects Lazio, the stronger Lazio's combat effectiveness will be.

He is the best at turning negative energy into positive energy!

"Are you sure, Mr. Chang?"

The Dutch reporter stared at Chang Sheng and questioned him.

Chang Sheng sneered inwardly.

Don't think that I will be afraid of you if you hint at me with your eyes.

Pediatrics!

He also stared back without showing any weakness: "Of course, I am the head coach of the team. I am much more sure than you."

The reporter had to sit down.

But no one knows what's on his mind.

Chang Sheng knew that he was just waiting to see his own jokes. Now that he speaks so slowly, he doesn't know how he will die...

And so on.

So Chang Sheng also sneered in his heart.

See who laughs last, who laughs the best! (to be continued)
