Chapter 176 Who Is Pacheco?
That night, a TV station in Rome broadcast a video of the Lazio club in training.
In the video, everyone can see Handanovic slamming high and low blocks in front of his Range Rover, trying to save the goal... oh no, to keep his car.
"While Lazio fans are still worried about Handanovic's ups and downs, after watching this video, I don't think they should be worried about it?"
Speaking of this, the host himself laughed.
Then he laughed and continued: "If the performance on the training ground can be used as the basis for awards, Handanovic's performance on this day alone is enough to become the best goalkeeper in the world!"
※※※
Chang Sheng trained Handanovic in such a creative way, but he gained more than just praise.
There are also controversies.
Anyway, as long as it is something he does, someone will definitely jump out and oppose it.
Everyone can always find a place worth hacking.
For example, this time, some experts criticized Chang Sheng for not respecting private property.
"That car is Handanovic's private property. Doing this often is tantamount to infringing on Handanovic's private property. If the car is damaged due to this kind of training, Handanovic can report to the usual Sheng filed a claim for compensation. Some people even praised Chang for being creative? Such people are simply morally bankrupt! They also lack legal awareness!"
"Last time, in order to keep my players from being proud and underestimating the enemy, I often hired a dog to train my players. That would have been suspected of injuring the players. Unexpectedly, this time, Chang had the idea of owning the private property of his players... What aggravation and no repentance. It is a disgrace to the football world that someone with such a bad record can be a manager!"
"Why is Chang's side always accompanied by all kinds of controversies? I think maybe Chang should reflect on it. Are his actions correct as he said..."
There is also a lot of criticism in the media.
These criticisms are so loud. So much so that even Handanovic had to come out and say a few words.
In fact, even without him taking the initiative to stand up, some media reporters would naturally come to him.
After training,
Many reporters were waiting outside the training ground, ready to interview him.
Surrounded by reporters, Handanovic said: "I heard what the so-called experts in the media said...you ask me what is my opinion? My opinion is that you don't sow discord. My relationship with the boss is very good. He That’s just to make me perform better. He’s doing it for my own good. I don’t complain about the boss’s behavior at all. He made me understand that as a goalkeeper, I should have something to protect. , whether it’s my car or the efforts of my teammates.”
Handanovic has said so, what else can those opponents say?
I can only curse "I don't know what's good" in private, and then pretend that I didn't hear it, and stop talking about it.
※※※
Lazio's opponent in the weekend league is Milan, and they are going to challenge Milan away. At the same time, they will go to an away game against Liverpool in the middle of next week.
This is the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
Lazio drew England giants Liverpool.
These two games came together, and everyone felt that Lazio would definitely not be able to play the main force in the game against Milan, because they had two consecutive away games. They must take full account of the physical exertion.
Milan also has a game in the middle of next week, and their opponent is Arsenal.
The same is also the schedule of the first guest and then the host. However, Milan's Champions League game is one day later than Lazio's game, which allows Milan to get more rest time. Secondly, this league game is Milan's home game, and they don't need to travel back and forth. They just need to rest for a day after the game and then leave for London.
What about the victorious Lazio?
If they go to Milan, then back to Rome, then to Liverpool. That would be too much trouble.
In fact, their formation is arranged in this way.
After playing against Milan, Lazio returned to Rome. Then from Rome to Liverpool.
Such tossing will naturally affect the physical fitness of the players.
But Lazio can't help it.
Because their finances are tight, in order to save money, they can stay in a hotel for a few days less.
This can also save the club tens of thousands of euros in expenses.
Considering the physical fitness of each player, the media speculated that Chang Sheng would send many substitute players.
Some of the main players will not even go to Milan at all, but stay in Rome.
This saves you the hassle of traveling.
In this way, it is an excellent opportunity for Milan. Can break their embarrassing record of no wins against the victorious Lazio.
To this end, Milan's media also began to build momentum for the game.
Some people analyze from the front, while others attack from the side, interfering with Lazio, which is what the media are good at doing.
Chang Sheng encountered such a scene at the regular press conference in the middle of the week.
A reporter stood up and introduced himself: "I am a reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport. I would like to ask Mr. Chang. After the club successfully renewed the contract with Handanovic, does the club have any other trends in contract renewal? Everyone How is the contract renewal of Falcao, who has always been concerned about?"
When Chang Sheng heard the words "Gazzetta dello Sport", his eyes narrowed.
"Are you a reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport?" He didn't answer the question, but asked rhetorically.
The visitor raised his head and was very proud: "Exactly."
"Okay, go back and give your colleague Breno Pacheco a message. Tell him that I am a relatively dead sleeper. Once I have a good dream, it is not so easy to wake up. If he thinks that he is making a big noise next to me If you can wake me up if you make a big fuss, then he can come and try."
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, the standing "Gazzetta dello Sport" reporter had a strange expression.
Chang Sheng noticed his hesitation and asked, "What? Don't you know Pacheco? Breno Pacheco. Don't you?"
The reporter finally couldn't bear it any longer. He said angrily, "I am Pacheco, Breno Pacheco!"
Some of the reporters laughed.
This scene is really funny, Bruno Pacheco is standing in front of Chang Sheng. But Chang Sheng asked him to speak to Pacheco. Let Pacheco give Pacheco a word?
Does Chang Sheng really not know Pacheco?
In fact, Pacheco is considered a celebrity in the media circle. Most journalists know him.
As a writer for the ace column of Gazzetta dello Sport, Pacheco is also a character.
In the end, Chang Sheng looked for him in front of him...
The reporters thought maliciously, did Chang Sheng do it on purpose? Pretending not to know this Pacheco, Pacheco has hacked Changsheng for three years. Chang Sheng didn't know him, what an insult to Pacheco who valued his reputation!
Pacheco thought he was a winning opponent, but how could there be opponents who knew each other? He knew Chang Sheng, but Chang Sheng didn't know him!
In fact, Chang Sheng really doesn't know Pacheco.
Pacheco is well known in media circles, but hardly a celebrity among the general public. Although he has also been on various TV programs, I am sorry that Chang Sheng hardly watches those sports programs on TV, because he thinks they are not nutritious and meaningful.
And Pacheco did not hang his picture on the column of Gazzetta dello Sport. If you read the newspaper, you would never know what Pacheco looks like.
So it's normal for Chang Sheng not to know him.
But Pacheco feels good about himself. He felt that Chang Sheng should know him.
When he found out that Chang Sheng didn't know him, he looked very angry.
Amidst the roar of laughter, Chang Sheng also laughed.
Because he also thought it was funny, I actually went to Pacheco in front of Pacheco... Ha!
Changsheng's smile made Pacheco feel humiliated.
He roared angrily: "Is it funny?!"
Chang Sheng straightened his face immediately, and suppressed his smile: "Seriously speaking...it's very funny! Ha!"
The next second he was laughing again.
"What's so funny?"
Chang Sheng pointed to his temple and said, "Since you are so cooperative, I have to say that yours is very funny here."
After he finished speaking, he laughed again, while the other reporters were laughing up and down. Pacheco must have been confused by asking such a stupid question. Isn't this providing ammunition for Chang Sheng?
The press conference was full of laughter. Many people even leaned on their seats. How can there be a press conference?
Amidst the roar of laughter, Pacheco finally couldn't stand it anymore. He started fighting back.
"Your team has encountered a crisis. Except for one Handanovic, who has renewed your contract? What about Falcao? You have always said that you are negotiating with him to renew your contract. Why haven't you yet? Talk about it? Maybe after this summer, your team will fall apart. You still want to create a Lazio dynasty, you can only say that you are daydreaming!"
Chang Sheng always had a joking smile on his face when Pacheco finished speaking angrily.
Then he said, "Am I daydreaming. You don't count, Mr. Pacheco. Let the grades speak, and let's not fight here, even if you spit all your saliva dry." , you can't convince everyone that I'm going to die soon. So let's stop arguing. Just wait and see the results. This season, next season, next season. I'll show you Lazio To dominate Italian football and I will let you see for yourself how I conquer here."
After finishing speaking, Chang Sheng grinned at Pacheco, revealing his white teeth.
This is not showing friendship, this is threatening Breno Pacheco.
Pacheco held his head high and said, "Then let us wait and see! Everyone present can be a witness!"
"Of course, every reporter present can go back and write that I made a bet with Pacheco." Chang Sheng pointed to the reporters below.
"Everyone be a witness. Pacheco said that I was daydreaming, and I wanted to conquer Italy. Just start from the next game against Milan, from this season that you think is a turbulent season!"
