Chapter 72

After Chang Sheng refuted the rumors, there was gradually no news about him going to Real Madrid to coach in the media.

However, some felt sorry for him.

"That's 100 million euros..."

"Often misses the opportunity to make history. If he would nod, he would become the most expensive head coach in the history of world football... But now, there is one less crazy record in football."

"Chang resisted the temptation and chose to stay in Lazio. This is the good news for Lazio fans. And Real Madrid fans? They don't have to worry about it..."

When this matter was fermenting, Lazio played in the sixteenth round of the league, and they drew with Udinese 3:3 in the away game.

It can be clearly seen that the entire Lazio team has been affected by this incident. Their minds were not in the game, as if they were afraid that the boss would leave them.

It was their luck to be able to draw with Udinese 3:3 in the end.

At the same time, Inter Milan defeated Chievo 4:2 at home.

The point difference between the two sides narrowed from three points to one point.

Inter Milan seems to have regained hope.

Mourinho proved with a victory that his team is not so easily knocked down.

After the game, without even taking a break, the whole team rushed directly to the airport and took the nearest flight to Tokyo, Japan.

They are so non-stop to participate in the Club World Cup.

There are quite a few criticisms about the regular victory of the Serie A schedule.

He previously hoped to postpone the sixteenth and seventeenth rounds of the league until next year, so that Lazio would have enough time to deal with the Club World Cup in Tokyo, Japan.

But the Italian Football Association is only willing to postpone the seventeenth round of the league, not the sixteenth round.

And even if the seventeenth round is postponed, it is not postponed to next year, but to the afternoon of December 24th... This is the last game of the 2008 Serie A.

But it doesn't help,

Lazio is the semi-final of the Club World Cup on the 17th. Twenty-one is the final.

And what about the league?

The fifteenth round is the focus of Lazio's home game against Inter Milan. The game time is seven days, and the tenth day of the week is the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. The 13th is the sixteenth round of the league.

Then there will be the Club World Cup on the 17th.

The schedule is very dense.

In order to avoid injuries and excessive physical exertion, Chang Sheng had to use a lot of rotations.

Originally, at this point in the league, half of the matches had been played, and the stamina stored in Xia Tian was almost exhausted. Coupled with the cold weather, if the players do not warm up sufficiently, they are more likely to be injured.

In order to avoid such a situation, Changsheng can only rotate.

He was angry at the Italian Football Federation for refusing to postpone the league, and also bombarded the Italian Football Federation. Claiming that Serie A is a professional league, but the Italian Football Association is very amateur!

This naturally led to criticism from Italian celebrities and media hype.

It also made many people feel tired of Chang Sheng.

But Chang Sheng didn't care about the opinions of these negative dogs at all.

He went to Tokyo, Japan full of resentment.

This Club World Cup must be won, otherwise how can I win it in vain?

So when departing from Rome Leonardo da Vinci Airport, Chang Sheng said to the media in a murderous manner: "We are not traveling to Japan, and there is nothing interesting there. We are just to win the championship!"

As a result, the reporters who were afraid of chaos in the world twisted Chang Sheng's words into an attack on Japan. Saying he insulted Japan is no fun...

Some media also emphasized Chang Sheng's Chinese identity, which meant that it was no big deal for Chang Sheng to insult Japan. The Chinese and Japanese had feuds, so Chang Sheng deliberately insulted Japan.

Anyway, when Chang Sheng's plane was still flying over the Asian continent, in Italy, China, and Japan, Guan Chang Sheng's remarks had already been hyped up by the media.

Internet Age. The most important feature is the accelerated speed of information dissemination.

In addition, on this basis, there is another feature that is the mass generation of rumors.

A piece of news is processed and transformed by various communicators. What is finally presented to the vast majority of people must be beyond recognition.

So Chang Sheng's words ended up being distorted into a completely vicious insulting speech. Then it went viral on the Internet in Japan.

Of course, Chang Sheng didn't know about it.

He said this at the time because he was dissatisfied with the schedule of the Italian Football Association.

So the Club World Cup naturally became an important target for him to vent his anger.

※ ※ ※

When the plane that Lazio said landed at Narita International Airport in Tokyo, the reporters all flocked to Changsheng, but they were not asking whether Changsheng would return to Real Madrid to coach-this question is over-they The question was whether Chang Sheng would consider apologizing for his insulting remarks against Japan.

"A Japanese fan asked you to apologize for your anti-Japanese remarks, how will you respond..."

Hearing this question, Chang Sheng froze for a moment.

"What did I insult Japan?" he asked back.

"You say Japan is a boring country..."

Chang Sheng interrupted the other party: "Are you sure I said so?"

The other party was a Japanese female reporter. She was not in Italy at the time, so naturally she didn't know what Chang Sheng said.

But she thought the meaning was the same.

This is her first interview with Chang Sheng, and she doesn't understand Chang Sheng's style at all.

Although the female reporter on the opposite side is still somewhat pretty, Chang Sheng has no intention of pity and sympathy. He stared at the reporter with wide eyes, and then said: "My original words are that we did not come to Japan for tourism, and there is nothing interesting in Japan. Why did you say that Japan is a boring country? ?”

The female reporter faltered, but was speechless when Chang Sheng questioned her back.

Chang Sheng is also full of evil fire recently.

First of all, the Real Madrid incident was inexplicably involved, and his family was followed by a false alarm.

Secondly, teams from other countries play in the Club World Cup, and the Football Association of that country fully supports them. It's Lazio's turn, but the Italian Football Association insists on being teammates like pigs.

Chang Sheng really wanted to vent.

He finally found a breakthrough in this hesitant female reporter.

He continued to say unceremoniously: "My original words are my personal opinion. I personally think that there is nothing interesting in Japan. I am a Chinese. For me, there is really nothing interesting in Japan. I am Honestly, when did it become an insult?"

After finishing speaking, Chang Sheng walked away, ignoring the Japanese reporters' questioning at all.

※ ※ ※

That night, what Chang Sheng said in an interview at the airport appeared in newspapers, TV and the Internet.

His appearance at the airport was rated as "arrogant and rude" and "brutal and uneducated" by the Japanese media.

Such an evaluation is very harsh.

Coupled with Chang Sheng's special status, there are many condemnations against him on the Japanese Internet.

There are even radical Japanese netizens demanding that the Japanese government expel Chang Sheng from the country. He is not allowed to come to Tokyo to lead the team to play in the Club World Cup!

On the well-known online forum h in Japan, there are many such remarks.

When this matter spread to China, some people claimed that Chang Sheng was used to his arrogance, and now he finally knocked down a piece of iron—an international dispute! Can some words be said nonsense!

What other experts in international political relations criticize Chang Sheng for being unobtrusive and destroying the stable situation of Sino-Japanese friendship...

In addition, there was also a debate on what Chang Sheng said on the Chinese Internet, that is, do Japan and China have many similarities, and is Japan really a place not worth visiting?

If Chang Sheng sees this kind of debate, he will definitely feel that they are really idle...

I just said it casually, you guys gave me the outline and online...

What a diplomatic dispute. What historical and cultural connotations...

Do you want to be so sensitive?

It’s okay to say that the Japanese are glass-hearted, but what are you Chinese people making a fuss about?

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng ignored the clamor of the Japanese media asking him to apologize, and continued to lead the team to train the next day and appeared in front of the public.

But this time, there were more Japanese fans who came to protest.

For the protests of these Japanese fans, Chang Sheng turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye.

When facing reporters, he also appeared arrogant. Basically, they deal with those Japanese reporters with their nostrils.

As one of the most successful head coaches in world football today, he is the youngest and most promising head coach. He has reason to show his sense of superiority in front of these Japanese reporters.

In terms of player level, China is not as good as Japan, but in terms of coaching level, he can beat all the coaches in Japan with a single victory. You have local coaches in Japan who led the team to win the European Champions Cup in Europe, and they won the European Champions Cup as soon as they won two? Do you have Japanese local coaches who coach club teams in Europe and win league titles every year?

No?

No. Then I can feel superior in front of you!

A reporter asked him to talk about Lazio's opponent Gamba Osaka in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.

Chang Sheng fully demonstrated his arrogance.

"I'm not familiar with Gamba Osaka, not at all. But it doesn't matter, I believe in Lazio's strength, as long as we play our own football, there will be no suspense in this game."

In fact, he was quite right. In terms of the strength comparison between Lazio and Gamba Osaka, there is no suspense in this semi-final, and Lazio will definitely advance to the final. There is no need for Lazio to be too obsessed with the opponents in the semi-finals. Any European champion who comes here must have his eyes on the Copa Libertadores champion team. The host team is here to make up the numbers.

However, if the recent controversial figure Chang Sheng speaks out in this tone, it will inevitably make the hosts feel uncomfortable.

And it's very uncomfortable.

The Japanese can accept the arrogance of Europeans and Americans in front of them, but a Chinese who is arrogant in front of them feels very strange to them.

This kind of strangeness makes them feel humiliated—when will the Chinese also be able to show off their power on our territory? ! (To be continued..)
