Chapter 103 Don't Give up Until the Last Second

Although perhaps even Lazio's own fans don't think Lazio still has hope of winning the league title.

But Chang Sheng is always the last one to give up.

He doesn't care how the home fans send him off or how they feel about parting.

All he can think about now is the league championship.

For him, there are still ninety minutes left in the last game of the season, and these ninety minutes are the final battle. Even if you have to lose, you have to fight until the last second.

Before the game, Chang Sheng was still criticizing the Italian Football Association's favoritism.

"...I don't understand why we don't even have a spare trophy here? Is the Italian Football Association hinting at something? I hope I am wrong."

At the pre-match press conference, Chang Sheng had a straight face and did not save any face for the Italian Football Association.

With his winning position in European football, especially Italian football, what he said will put a lot of pressure on the Italian Football Federation.

Moreover, the Italian Football Association did something very unethical.

Even if Juventus leads Lazio by three points, Lazio seems to have little hope.

But at least Lazio still has a theoretical hope of winning the championship.

So the Italian Football Association completely ignored Lazio, which was really bullying.

Perhaps it is because Chang Sheng will leave next season and Lotito has already sold off his shares. This club needs to be changed from top to bottom, so naturally it has no status at all.

But this feeling is understandable for the Football Association in private, but it would be abnormal to express it directly.

Therefore, as soon as Chang Sheng's criticism came out, the Italian Football Association immediately gave an explanation, saying that this was just a mistake in their work, not directed at Lazio, and did not imply anything.

At the same time, they said they would send a spare trophy to the Wanda Stadium immediately.

Chang Sheng did not make any further response.

Follow the procedure. The real trophy goes to the team ranked first, and the backup trophy goes to the team ranked second.

There is nothing wrong with this approach.

It does not reflect any discrimination.

If this was the arrangement of the Football Association from the beginning, Chang Sheng would not even say a word.

He is not that glassy yet.

It's really the Football Association's behavior that is blatantly looking down on people, and it doesn't take his winning streak seriously.

That's why he was so angry.

At least the team's momentum cannot be lost, you look down on me. I'm going to slap you in the face!

In the last home game, the Wanda Stadium was overcrowded early and was almost full - almost because some seats were left vacant for safety reasons.

So it’s not completely full.

But even so, the attendance of today's game has set a new record for this stadium.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "full".

Twenty minutes before the start of the game, the stadium gate closed. Because all the fans with tickets have already entered the venue.

The atmosphere in the stands was very lively.

The most popular hit songs were playing on the radio, but the music was completely drowned out by the singing of the Lazio fans.

Lazio fans did not follow the song on the radio, but wrote a song dedicated to Chang Sheng by themselves.

Popular players will have one or more songs written by fans.

Changsheng is no exception, and there are many of them.

Different kinds. Used at different times.

When we take the lead, the fans sing songs praising the winning team.

When falling behind, fans sing songs calling for victory.

In the relaxed and happy atmosphere of the game, the fans sang songs joking about Chang Sheng.

This is how Lazio fans show their love for winning.

In addition, the stands were also covered with various slogans and portraits wishing Chang Sheng and thanking Chang Sheng.

The scene is very spectacular.

There is no suspense in such a game, and no one cares about the league championship.

They may even do it on purpose. Deliberately make the atmosphere lively and lively.

They hope to use such a strong farewell atmosphere to dilute the sadness of not winning the league championship.

I hope everyone’s attention will not be on the ownership of the league championship, but on saying goodbye to Chang Sheng.

The last home court, it’s too late to take a look...

※ ※ ※

Just when everyone was busy creating a home atmosphere, Chang Sheng was in the locker room. He said to his players: "...It seems that only a miracle can allow us to win the championship. But I am best at creating miracles, so I have not given up hope of winning the championship. What is Juventus like there? We don't care, In the last game, let’s not let it slip. I am such a person, I will not give up until the game is over, even if there is only a very small hope, we must not only win this game, but also try our best. We still have to win with a big score! We want everyone to see our determination to win the championship!”

In the eyes of the players, this was the boss's last home game, but he was still preparing for the game with concentration, and his professionalism made everyone feel ashamed.

Just like the boss said. Don't give up hope until the last moment.

This game must show our Lazio’s fighting spirit!

The Lazio players, who had lost their fighting spirit due to the slim hope of winning the league, have revived again.

This is the boss's last game at home. What he emphasizes most is the game attitude, so everyone's game attitude must be correct!

The last round of matches kicked off at the same time.

Ten stadiums in the Serie A league blew the whistle to start the game at the same time.

The fateful 90 minutes began...

Lazio used their powerful offensive to score a goal at the beginning of the game.

In the seventh minute, Lazio led 1:0 at home.

There was a cheer from the stands.

But the cheers were not for the goal scorer, but for Lazio's head coach Changsheng.

Amid the cheers, Changsheng's expression was very serious, and he did not smile for the team's goal.

In his opinion, scoring and winning were taken for granted. The only thing he cared about in this game was whether there would be a good result in the end and whether it would bring him a league championship.

So he directed the game. But in fact, his mind was on another stadium, at Juventus' Alpi Stadium.

Assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez, who was sitting next to him, was wearing headphones and listening to the live broadcast of the game over there.

And he reported to Changsheng at any time about the live situation of the game between Juventus and Cagliari.

"Neither side scored a goal..."

"Juventus's attack was fierce, Cagliari could only shrink its defense..."

"Goalpost! It was a close call, Juventus almost took the lead!"

...

And so on.

Changsheng was serious throughout the whole process.

What a farewell ceremony for the last home game... He was in no mood to enjoy it at all.

Besides, he was not leaving, so what was the last or not?

※ ※ ※

Lazio scored four goals against Bologna in the first half.

And next door. It was still 0:0, and neither side scored a goal.

If Juventus tied this game, it would also be the league champion.

So this score does not mean that Juventus is in danger, the key is to see how the game goes.

During the halftime break, Changsheng simply arranged the team's tactics for the second half - just keep scoring goals, as many goals as possible.

There is nothing to arrange, everyone knows how to score goals. The game went so smoothly, and there was actually no need for a head coach.

Then Changsheng left time for the players to deal with it themselves, and he and two assistant coaches ran out of the locker room. Studying the highlights of the first half of the match between Juventus and Cagliari on the computer.

After watching it, Changsheng frowned.

Juventus completely suppressed Cagliari in the first half, with countless opportunities.

The lack of goals may be because Juventus was too relaxed.

But even so, they can completely accept a draw.

If the second half is still like this, Juventus will definitely win the championship.

From this point of view, Lazio's efforts are more like useless work.

Rudy Gonzalez looked at Changsheng.

As if asking for his opinion.

Changsheng frowned and finally said: "No matter what, fight until the last second."

※ ※ ※

In the Juventus locker room. Although Prandelli criticized the team's performance, he thought they should have led Cagliari by at least two goals in the first half. But he was still very happy in his heart.

Even if it was a draw, it was enough to suppress Lazio.

He defeated Changsheng in the league championship for two consecutive seasons, which made him feel very accomplished.

The anger that was called "junk food" by Changsheng back then has finally been vented!

The atmosphere in the Juventus locker room is also very relaxed.

Although the huge advantage in the first half did not turn into a goal, it also made Juventus full of confidence.

This shows that as long as they want to score, they can score at any time.

The key is to see their mood.

What if there is no goal in the first half?

We just need to score a goal in the second half.

We don't need to win too much in this game, just win one goal. It would be so cool to suppress Lazio with this one!

As for the news that Lazio led Bologna by four goals in the first half, it can't attract their attention at all.

※ ※ ※

The fifteen-minute halftime break passed in a flash.

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Lazio continued to attack Bologna. Bologna also knew that they were destined to be a supporting role in today's game.

Because this is Changsheng's last home game in Lazio, his players will definitely bid farewell to their boss with a hearty victory.

Bologna can only blame their bad luck. In the last round of the league, they met Lazio, not Juventus...

And Juventus still controlled the ball easily and then pressed Cagliari.

They didn't take this opponent who vowed to stay in the league seriously at all.

They only have the championship in their eyes now!

There are 45 minutes left to defend the league championship.

There are 40 minutes left to defend the league championship.

There are 35 minutes left to defend the league championship...

This countdown occupies a large place in the hearts of every Juventus player. (To be continued...)

ps: Sorry, the Internet was disconnected at home last night, and I couldn't get on it, and I couldn't upload chapters for automatic update.

So the update is a bit late.
