Chapter 440 Welcome Home, Sandro
After the appointed time, the host came out. M
The host turned out to be Italy's gold medal commentator Fabio Caresa, which was really a surprise.
Caresa is not a Lazio fan, and he rarely speaks well of Changsheng.
So I didn't expect him to come to help Lazio.
Seeing that the reporters in the audience were also surprised, Caresa smiled and explained: "I think this is a historic day, I want to be a glorious witness on this day, so I came. Well, let's not dwell on such details, let's talk about today's protagonist."
"Nine years ago, when he left Lazio and transferred to Milan, it was one of the most watched and sensational transfer events in Italy that year. Lazio lost their flag that year. Since then, the former double champion has quickly sunk... Whether in terms of competitive performance or economic level, it has fallen into a comprehensive trough... Some people say that it is because Lazio has lost their flag and their soul, and they live like zombies..."
Carresa's voice turned low.
The Lazio fans in the stands also followed his voice and fell into memories of the past.
Those years were really unbearable to look back on.
Cragnotti said that selling Nesta was to ease the club's financial crisis, but in fact, selling Nesta did not help Lazio overcome the crisis, but instead got worse.
Cragnotti was imprisoned, and the Lazio club looked like it might go bankrupt at any time.
Lazio fans were worried all day long.
Now they began to regret it. If they had known this would be the result, they should not have let Nesta leave. At least Nesta is still a Lazio player.
Of course, some people are conflicted. On the one hand, they don't want Nesta to leave, and on the other hand, seeing that he has won so many championships in Milan, they think he should leave. Because it is obviously impossible to win so many championships, win so much attention, and become a truly world-class central defender in Lazio.
For Nesta, staying in Lazio is not good, and going to Milan is truly world-class.
This contradictory psychology actually stems from the inferiority complex of Lazio fans towards the team.
Compared with Milan, Lazio is indeed much weaker.
Milan is a well-deserved giant, what is Lazio?
It's like a pure **si's girlfriend follows a tall, handsome and rich man.
If it is to let the girlfriend live a good life, following a tall, handsome and rich man is obviously the right choice.
If a pure **si really loves his girlfriend, he should wish her and the tall, handsome and rich a happy life.
This is due to the inferiority of **si.
In those years. Every time Milan returned to the Olympic Stadium to play against Lazio, Lazio fans were so conflicted.
But in fact, they were very heartbroken.
Seeing Nesta wearing Milan's red and black sword stripes, as Lazio's opponent, Lazio fans were very sad.
That was their flag...
But it was inserted into someone else's camp.
If...if our Lazio was strong enough. If we didn't have the damn economic crisis, Nesta would definitely play for Lazio until he retired!
At that time, Lazio fans no longer believed that Nesta would return to Lazio.
※ ※ ※
While Caresa was making a fuss outside, Nesta stood alone in the player tunnel, waiting to play.
This place was not unfamiliar to Nesta. He had been here last season.
But he was with his teammates from Milan.
It felt a little strange to be able to stand here again in Lazio's jersey and wait to play - he hadn't done this for so long that he almost forgot the feeling...
But he was very excited.
He felt his heart beating very fast.
That kind of excitement was like the first time he played for Lazio.
He still remembers that day. On March 12, 1994, a few days before Nesta's 18th birthday, Zoff, then Lazio's head coach, put his name on the starting list for the first time, although it was only a substitute... In the 33rd minute of the second half of Lazio's match against Udinese. He replaced Casiraghi. His mind was blank at the time. But even so, he didn't make any mistakes in the game...
From then on. The legend of Lazio began.
When Nesta was waiting to play in the tunnel, a staff member came up to him to take a photo.
"I am your loyal fan. I have loved watching you play since I was a child. But I didn't have time to watch you for long before you left..." The young staff member came up excitedly with his mobile phone.
Nesta met his request and signed an autograph for him.
Then he heard Caressa shouting his name.
The staff member immediately switched back from being a fan and reminded Nesta that it was time to play.
So amid huge cheers, Nesta walked out of the tunnel and appeared in front of everyone.
Countless cameras and camera lenses were aimed at Nesta and followed him until he walked onto the podium.
More than 50,000 fans in the stands stood up and applauded to welcome Nesta's return.
This is a historic moment!
When Nesta reappeared in everyone's sight wearing Lazio's blue jersey, many people's eyes were blurred.
Tears welled up in their eyes, captivating them.
I didn't expect that they would be able to see this scene again in their lifetime...
※ ※ ※
The applause continued for five minutes, and both Caressa and Nesta could only stand on the stage, looking at each other and smiling.
After five minutes, the applause and cheers slowly subsided.
Nesta took the microphone from Caresa and stood in front of 50,000 fans. When he spoke, the voice of this defense leader who was always calm and steady on the court actually trembled. .
"It has always been a dream of mine to play for Lazio again, and today it is a dream come true for me!"
As soon as he said a word, he was interrupted by cheers and applause again.
He waited until the cheers and applause stopped again before continuing.
"I'm very happy to have the opportunity to represent Lazio in the game at the end of my career. I would like to especially thank President Lotito and the team's head coach Chang..." Nesta said, looking back at Lazio Tito and Victory.
Both looked at Nesta with smiles on their faces.
"I have a lot to say to you. Really, I thought a lot when I was waiting in the tunnel to appear. But now, I suddenly don't know what to say. This is like the first time I represented Like Lazio, my mind is blank. I'm sorry, I don't know what to say now. I just want to say: I am very happy to be back, for me, it is like coming home! I am very touched to see so many people welcoming me home after nine years. We will still have a long time here. Let me tell you those words slowly..."
Nesta lowered his head and kissed the Lazio team logo on his chest.
This scene detonated the atmosphere of the Olympic Stadium, and all the fans cheered.
They were chanting Nesta's name: "Sandro! Sandro! I love you, Sandro!!"
This time, no matter what gestures Nesta made, they didn't listen and just cheered.
The emotions that Lazio fans had accumulated in their hearts for nine years were just released.
It’s true that nine years of emotions can’t be released that easily.
So the cheers and applause at the Olympic Stadium lasted for a long time.
The host who was responsible for broadcasting the joining ceremony said: "I really don't know what Milan's supporters will think when they see this scene... They will definitely curse Allegri and Galliani to death, right? Of course. , they can also think that Nesta is of no use and is old, so they will not feel sorry for losing Nesta... However, for Lazio, Nesta is not just a defender. , his significance is even greater, and maybe it will become the spiritual motivation for Lazio to move forward?”
※ ※ ※
The cheers lasted longer than when Nesta came on the stage, lasting about ten minutes before disappearing.
Then Chang Sheng stood up with a microphone.
Seeing Chang Winning, Lazio fans cheered again.
Chang Sheng waved his hand, and the cheers stopped.
Lazio fans love Nesta from the bottom of their hearts.
As for the constant victory, Lazio fans are in awe from the bottom of their hearts.
They like Chang Sheng and respect him, but they also fear him.
They all saw how Chang Sheng dealt with the "Uncultivable Faction". Even the arrogant extreme fan group of the "Uncultivable Faction" was eliminated by Chang Sheng, so everyone knew about it, and those who offended Chang Sheng What will happen...
Therefore, they did not dare to question what Chang Sheng said.
Chang Sheng asked them to stop shouting and to calm down and listen to what he said, and the scene would become quiet immediately.
"Today is a very special day for Lazio. Today is a historic day for Lazio. The piece of the puzzle that we lost nine years ago is back in its rightful place. We have found the missing piece. Glory. From today on, Lazio is a complete team. We can completely let go of the baggage of the past and face the future with a new attitude!"
Chang Sheng said.
"We will continue on the road to creating the future firmly! This season, next season, next season... Lazio will be the winner! All opponents will kneel down in front of us and beg for mercy! Ladies and gentlemen You guys, you will be honored to witness the birth of the greatest football dynasty in human history! I am always victorious, always victorious, and I do what I say!”
After speaking, Chang Sheng raised his fist high.
