Chapter 239: Two Champions
After the game against Udinese, this season's Serie A also came to an end. m
In the end, Lazio ranked first, won the championship, and qualified for the Champions League next season.
Thirty-eight league rounds, thirty-five wins, three draws, and zero losses!
108 goals scored, only 17 goals conceded, 91 goal difference, 108 points accumulated!
Such brilliant results make it hard to believe that this was done by a team that only introduced two people this summer.
Lazio's main lineup is basically the same as last season.
When Meireles and Hernanes came to the team, they both started as substitutes.
In other words, Lazio relies on the same lineup, but its performance is getting better and better.
And anyone who has watched Lazio's games throughout the season knows very well that Lazio's players have improved to varying degrees this season.
David Silva played more and more easily in the position of organizer.
Gotze has become more and more tolerant as he grows older.
After Modric moved back, although there were fewer direct assists, it made Lazio's midfield run more smoothly. He is an important contributor to Lazio's ability to score 108 goals in a season.
Ledesma has also developed the ability to organize offenses. He has changed from a simple sweeping midfielder to a new Pirlo who can attack and defend well.
...
Many people have made significant progress, showing a more dazzling light.
Chang Sheng has brought into full play his principle of "one specialty, many abilities".
Many players have been developed with new positions and skills.
This ensures that the team can face many situations with such a lineup.
This is why Lazio has only added two players, but can still achieve such results.
Next, Lazio will have a Coppa Italia final next week.
This game is over,
The Champions League final is just a week away.
Whether Lazio can win the first Triple Crown in Italian football history depends on these two games.

Rome is now completely obedient.
Even if they made it to the final of the Coppa Italia, they didn't get too carried away thinking they could hit the title.
Because unfortunately. Their opponent is Lazio.
There are no more gimmicks in the Rome city derby. Anyway, no matter what the situation is, Lazio can win.
Some people even joked that even if Lazio had only seven players, they could beat Rome.
The reality is so cruel.
So Rome is very honest now-it's not like they haven't suffered such a loss before. Before the game, they made all kinds of rhetoric and ambitions, saying that they would beat Lazio.
The results of it?
In the end, they all lost, and Chang Sheng seemed to be targeting them specifically. They clamored more fiercely before the game. The more you lose in the end.
At first everyone thought it was a coincidence—Chang Sheng himself said it was a coincidence. In the end, they found out that they were all deceived by Chang Sheng!
Chang Sheng clearly aimed at Rome on purpose!
If Rome kept a low profile and behaved with its tail between its legs, the final loss score would be better.
If you don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, then wait for a big score and a disastrous defeat.
Before the Coppa Italia final with Lazio this time, Roma also remained silent.
That doesn't mean they don't want to win the cup.
Quite the opposite. This silence means they want a cup winner.
Because silence and low-key can make Lazio not so desperate in the game.
In this way, Rome has an opportunity to take advantage of it.
That's what Rome intended.
But they didn't think about it, how could Lazio give Roma a chance to take advantage of the chance to win the Triple Crown?
In this game, Lazio has no reason to relax.
So Rome is doomed to hit its head on the iron plate...
※ ※ ※
Starting from the 2007-2008 season, the Coppa Italia final, which was originally a home and away two-round system, was changed to a game to determine the outcome.
The venue for the final is uniformly arranged at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
No matter what team enters the final, it will be played in this stadium.
Including the two teams of Roma and Lazio.
But Lazio and Roma have never met in a Coppa Italia final.
This is the first time.
Exactly the same opponent, exactly the same venue.
For the first time, the Coppa Italia final staged a true Roman city derby.
Consider the telecast. The game was scheduled for nine o'clock in the evening, which was the prime time of the TV show.
However, this is not a special arrangement because the final opponents are Lazio and Roma, but a fixed arrangement for each Coppa Italia final.
In fact, although it is the first Rome city derby in the history of the Coppa Italia final.
But everyone's reaction was lukewarm.
The media didn't make a lot of headlines before the game. Promote this "Mars hits the Earth" like race.
The players and coaches of both sides, as well as other related people, did not engage in any pre-match war of words, psychological warfare or anything like that.
The first Rome city derby in the history of the Coppa Italia final, just blew the whistle in a quiet atmosphere.
※ ※ ※
It turned out that Roma were right to keep a low profile and silence before the game - not that they had a chance of winning.
But after they lose the game. They can suffer less from the ever-victorious poisonous tongue attack.
At least it looks better this way...
"Mota!! World wave——!"
Amidst the roar of the commentator, Mota turned around and ran with open arms in celebration. And on the big screen in the stands behind him, the score has been refreshed.
Lazio leads Roma 2:0!
Above the score is the game time.
Thirty-four minutes!
Before the first half was over, Lazio had already led Roma by two goals!
There is no suspense in this pizza!
"This is really the most boring Rome city derby I've ever seen..." In the media booth, a reporter yawned, looking bored.
He is not a reporter supporting Lazio, he is a neutral reporter, and he wants to see a close and exciting game.
But such a wish. It is doomed not to be realized.
With Lazio's strength, if the game can be dangerous, ups and downs, evenly matched, and exciting, then Changsheng will definitely scold his team bloody in the locker room.
For the neutrals, they are cool, but the Lazio players have to be unlucky.
In the second half, Lazio scored another goal. In the end, they defeated Rome with a score of 3:0 and won the Coppa Italia.
It was the first Rome city derby in the history of the Coppa Italia final, but it did not remain in people's memory for a long time because of this special significance, let alone leave its own place in the history of the Coppa Italia final.
This champion may be the least existential of the three champions this season...
※ ※ ※
His opponents in the Champions League final came as ever-victorious Lazio claimed two titles in one season. Bayern Munich also won two of the three titles - the league title and the DFB-Pokal.
Now, between these two teams that have a chance of becoming treble winners, will meet in the Champions League final.
Whoever wins will be the Triple Crown!
Whether it is for Lazio or Bayern Munich, this is the first treble in the history of their respective leagues.
Neither the Serie A nor the Bundesliga has a triple crown, so we can know how great Manchester United's triple crown and Valencia's triple crown were.
This difficulty is not ordinary.
※ ※ ※
before the Champions League final. For Lazio, there is another big thing.
It is indeed a big deal.
In a sense, it even surpassed the Champions League final.
That is the Vice President of China came to visit!
This matter has been settled a long time ago, when Chang Sheng and the Uneducable faction were fighting to death. Because of this, the Italian government has been under tremendous pressure.
Now the vice president of the country is really coming to the club!
Before the Chinese Vice President visited Italy, Chang Sheng had met several times with people from the Chinese Embassy in Rome.
Mainly to confirm the process.
Repeated confirmation.
Make sure nothing goes wrong.
After all, the safety of leaders is the most important thing.
Chang Sheng has no experience with this.
Anyway, whatever the other party says, he will do it.
The only requirement is that you must not delay your training time.
That's more than anything.
Of course. The communication between the two sides was not very smooth at first.
The embassy said that it is impossible for us to set aside a special time for you to discuss what kind of things, so you can only follow our schedule...
Chang Sheng replied very strongly: "Then ask the vice chairman not to come. This is a football club, and my job is to lead the team in training and competitions, not to meet the leaders."
After several times of stalemate, the two sides gradually found the feeling of cooperation.
Then you can finally sit down and discuss specific matters calmly.
According to the arrangement, the vice-chairman will not come to visit during the training time, he will choose a non-training time, around noon.
The whole process takes no more than twenty minutes.
It is to go to the headquarters of the Lazio club first, and then go to the training ground.
Talk to Chang Sheng cordially on the training ground.
Finally, show your footwork.
Before leaving, Chang Sheng and Lotito, on behalf of the club, gave the vice chairman a Lazio home jersey with the number and the name of the vice chairman printed on it.
As for why the vice president will visit Lazio.
But it's definitely not because the vice chairman also likes football for such a simple reason.
National leaders have so much to do every day, how can they have so much time to take care of their own hobbies?
His ability to come to Lazio has a lot to do with the investment of Chinese companies in Italy. In fact, although the vice chairman's visit this time has a lot of content in name, this is the most important thing.
The economy, the world has encountered an economic crisis, and Italy also needs to attract investment.
The well-funded Chinese government and businessmen were naturally the kind of people the Italian conquest would welcome.
And the Lazio club's chest advertising sponsor happens to have a cooperation project in Italy.
The vice chairman came to visit the Lazio club, and naturally revealed his attitude towards this cooperation project in a tactful manner.
To put it bluntly, some are political acts.
And Chang Sheng's benefit from this is completely incidental...
