Chapter 16: Opponent Juventus (One Hundred/One Hundred and Thirty-Four)

There is a reason why everyone is generally not optimistic about Lazio. On the one hand, Juventus has not lost against Lazio at home for three consecutive seasons. ◎Literature Museumr />

On the other hand, Lazio is naturally not in good shape this season.

Although they have only played one official game, there are already voices in the media that are badmouthing Lazio.

It seems that the media can see through Lazio's entire season through just this one game.

What the media didn't expect was that this time, Chang Sheng, who had always kept a low profile before, suddenly took the lead!

Originally, UEFA had assigned Lazio to the group of death, and Chang Sheng did not make any statement.

Everyone thought that Chang Sheng's temper was getting better and better now.

The same should be true for the game against Juventus.

Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng suddenly broke out at the pre-match press conference with Juventus.

At that time, a reporter asked Chang Sheng that his team had not beaten Juventus at the Alpi Stadium for three consecutive seasons. Does this mean that the balance of victory between the two sides has reversed in the future.

When the reporter asked this question, Chang Sheng suddenly exploded.

"Yes, yes, we have not won against Juventus away from home for three seasons in a row. So can anyone tell us what the results were at the Alpi Stadium in the first three seasons?"

Chang Sheng asked with disdain.

The reporter who asked the question was immediately speechless.

It's not that he doesn't know Lazio's results at this stadium.

On the contrary, he knew exactly what this achievement was.

Because of this, it was difficult for him to say.

Because in fact, Lazio's performance in this stadium cannot be considered bad...

"If I remember correctly, our results in the first three seasons were two draws and one loss. Two draws and one loss, so we didn't win against Juventus... Oh my, this result is really terrible!"

Chang Sheng said angrily.

The reporter who asked the question was even more embarrassed.

But Chang Sheng had no intention of letting him go just like that. Who made him hit the muzzle of his own gun?

"What about three seasons ago? How were we at the Stadio Alpi? Seven wins in a row? Eight in a row? Maybe ten! I can't remember... but that's it. So which eye do you have? Seeing that Lazio’s performance in this stadium is not good? In the past ten years, we have only lost one game. Can this be considered a bad performance? Can you please give us a bad result?”

Chang Sheng has rarely been so sharp-tongued and sarcastic at press conferences.

So when he did this today, the reporters in the audience were a little surprised - they were not quite used to this situation.

Only those veteran reporters who have followed Chang Sheng for more than ten years know that this is actually the complete form of Chang Sheng...

It's just that Chang Sheng has been too low-key in the past few years, which has made many people forget how powerful Chang Sheng is.

The reporter who asked the question was very young and obviously didn't know enough about Chang Sheng. Old reporters would never make such a mistake.

And what Chang Sheng said makes sense.

Two draws and one loss. Can it be considered a poor grade?

Although it sounds like I have never won, to put it another way, I only lost one game...

Moreover, Lazio has only lost one game in this stadium in the past ten years. Is this considered a poor performance?

Unless Lazio loses several games in a row here. Only then can we explain that Lazio's results against Juventus have been reversed.

But Lazio had just lost one game, and everyone was clamoring that Lazio had reversed course against Juventus... This was indeed a bit ridiculous.

But it just so happens that everyone is like this.

As for why they did this, veteran reporters naturally know it.

It is nothing more than trying to create influence on public opinion, and then in turn force Lazio to behave abnormally and put pressure on Lazio.

It's just... maybe they picked the wrong opponent to do this, but not necessarily?

Look at Chang Sheng now. That poor reporter was so scolded by him that he couldn't even lift his head.

After scolding the poor reporter. Chang Sheng turned his attention to the others.

Many reporters were afraid to look at him under his sharp eyes.

Chang Sheng glanced at the entire audience, and everyone lowered their heads under his gaze. He then said with satisfaction: "Of course, I know you must be unconvinced. You will think this is the beginning of Lazio's consecutive losses at the Alpi Stadium. So in order to make you fully realize how small you are, we If you want to win against Juventus, that's the proof!"

After the press conference, the media rushed to report Chang Sheng's harsh words at the press conference.

Chang Sheng hasn't done this for a long time. So much so that the harsh words he said this time actually caused the media to rush to report on it.

You know, in the past, the media did not rarely report on this matter, because there were so many such things that it could no longer be considered news.

But now, the media is actually reporting this matter as a big news...

Chang Sheng's "declaration of victory" at the pre-match press conference was also the focus of everyone's attention.

Because Chang Sheng actually said before the game that he must beat Juventus!

This matter has become the focus of everyone's attention, and people have to lament that these times are really different.

In the past, Chang Sheng said he must win, but what does that mean?

If you win, you win.

Changsheng has said that he must win so many games. If every game is reported extensively, will there not be enough space?

Now, he said that he must beat Juventus, and it has become news.

Was it a big deal for Lazio to beat Juventus before?

Even Changsheng was surprised to see the news media reporting this matter so extensively, and asked his assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez beside him: "Have I been so low-key for so long?"

Rudy Gonzalez smiled and said: "It seems so!"

Changsheng smacked his lips: "Sure enough, this person can't be too low-key. If he is too low-key, he will become the capital for those people to show off...Okay, I've decided, this last season. I must be high-profile to the end!"

What did the Turin media say about Changsheng's determination to beat Juventus?

"Speaking of which, what is the most classic scene in the first ten years of the Premier League? I think it's not Manchester United or Arsenal winning the trophy, but Kevin Keegan's incoherent words when he broke down in the face of Manchester United's relentless pursuit!"

A TV station even put two videos of Changsheng and Kevin Keegan together.

Kevin Keegan was incoherent in front of the TV camera, and excitedly said: "I just like to beat them! I just like it!" This sentence became a classic saying in the first ten years of the Premier League.

In the eyes of the Turin media, how similar are Changsheng's words now to what Kevin Keegan said at the beginning?

Kevin Keegan was broken down by Ferguson's psychological warfare.

Does it mean that Changsheng was also broken down by the huge pressure from the media?

We will have to wait until the game to see.

Lazio's away game against Juventus will come the next night.

This game is the highlight of this round of the league.

The focus of everyone's attention.

Changsheng's words obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of Juventus fans. Before the game with us, he said directly that he wanted to beat us. Do you still have Juventus in your eyes?

So the atmosphere at the scene of this game was particularly warm.

Originally, the atmosphere of Juventus at its home stadium was also very ordinary. It was not fanatical.

Juventus also realized this problem, so they built a stadium that was not too big.

Otherwise, it would be like the old Alpi Stadium, which could accommodate too many people, but in fact, half of the stadium was empty in every game. In Turin, the team with higher popularity is not Juventus. It is the "Red Bull" Torino team.

Juventus is the team with the most fans in the whole of Italy. But in Turin, they don't have many people. The result of the scattered fan groups is that their home games have fewer fans than Torino, which is really inconsistent with their status as a wealthy team...

As a result, the atmosphere at Juventus' home stadium in today's game was very fanatical.

Juventus fans use various methods to make their home stadium look like a hell home stadium.

Various flags, slogans insulting Lazio, cartoons vilifying Changsheng...

When the Lazio players came out to warm up, they heard the huge boos from Juventus fans.

This booing was much louder than the previous matches between Lazio and Juventus.

In previous matches, especially when Lazio was strong, Lazio always won against Juventus. So Juventus fans lost their spirit, and the atmosphere of the match with Lazio was relatively relaxed.

Juventus fans suddenly became so cool and domineering that Lazio players were not very used to it.

They rarely enjoyed this kind of treatment at the Alpi Stadium.

When they returned to the locker room, Changsheng looked at them with a smile.

"How is it? How do you feel, being booed by so many people?"

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what was wrong with the boss, how does it feel to be booed by so many people. Doesn't he know?

What else is there to ask?

Changsheng naturally saw the players' surprised thoughts.

He motioned for everyone to sit down.

"I said before the game that we must beat Juventus. I hope this doesn't put too much pressure on you. But if there is pressure, it's okay, because you have to bear it. When each of you entered Lazio, someone should have told you this, that is, playing in Lazio means bearing huge pressure! So playing under pressure should be commonplace for you."

"But why did I have to say before the game that we must beat Juventus? Of course, it's not because I have nothing to do and want to put pressure on you. There are other reasons. So... do you want to hear a story, guys?"

ps: ps, the only debt that could be paid yesterday was 99/134, but I made a mistake and typed 98/134, so there are two 98/134. Today it has returned to normal, but it's not that I missed a chapter!
