Chapter 5 You Will Regret It, Rome! (102/136)
Of course, the unscrupulous media is not only unique to Italy, it can be said that the media all over the world have no integrity...
It's just that Chang Sheng has seen the media in China, Spain and Italy before. In other countries, Changsheng still lacks an intuitive understanding.
Torla and Mediano fulfilled their mission. After they publicized Changsheng's personal website, many people indeed flocked to this simple personal website that was suspected to be a counterfeit.
"Provincial Daily" and "Getafe Local Life" newspapers also added links to Changsheng's personal website on their official websites.
By the time people discovered the site, Chang Sheng had already updated a few more blog posts.
These websites are all criticizing the Club of Rome and the Italian media, but it is different from the general talk before. media reporters.
He scolded each one over and over again.
Moreover, he also specially excerpted the speeches of these people, and used these people's own words to refute them, which can be said to have the opponent's hand hitting the opponent's face. Because I use what the other party said, it is difficult for the other party to refute. Refuting is tantamount to refuting yourself.
This point is a familiar technique that Chang Sheng used when arguing with people on the forum before. At first I thought it was only used for quarreling in forums, but I didn't expect it to be used in this kind of place, and it immediately felt a high-end foreign style.
The reporters were very happy to see Chang Sheng's battle proclamations—it was all a gimmick, it was all news!
So the media reporters didn't care if Chang Sheng scolded them all together. They copied the excerpts of Chang Sheng's articles into their own newspapers and programs.
It can be seen from this that the value of the media's integrity is indeed not very high...
Chang Sheng didn't ask these media for copyright fees. He wished the media would help him promote it.
His own personal website, a forum for public opinion, will be a place he will rely heavily on in the future. Because only here, he can speak without any scruples, and he doesn't have to worry about being taken out of context by the media-if the media does this, just visit his personal website to see who is lying.
In addition, in order to facilitate Chinese fans and media to visit, every article written by Chang Sheng here is in Italian and Chinese.
Chinese is convenient for Chinese people. Italian is for Italians.
As for people from other countries who want to watch it, they must either understand Italian or Chinese, so he is too lazy to write special language versions for people from Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal and other places.

In response to Chang Sheng's fierce and ruthless attack on the Club of Rome on the Internet, the Club of Rome didn't take it seriously at first. They thought it was just a network, what kind of influence could it have? And I heard that the personal website I often make is very simple. It's almost as if you may not be able to access it at any time.
So the Club of Rome didn't take this matter to heart at all.
However, when more and more media reprinted Chang Sheng's article, Chang Sheng's criticism of the Club of Rome was spread everywhere on the Internet, and even the media in other countries began to pay attention to this matter, the Club of Rome couldn't sit still.
At the press conference where they announced that Prandelli would become the head coach of the Roma football team, Chang Sheng once again became the protagonist. All reporters were more concerned about the real reason why Chang Sheng left the Roma club. Is it like what Chang Sheng himself said, he is the scapegoat of the Club of Rome...
As for Prandelli, in front of Chang Sheng, he was reduced to a supporting role for the second time...
The reporters got up and asked questions related to Chang Sheng.
"Mr. Baldini, what do you think of Chang Sheng's accusations against you?"
"Mr. Baldini, do you admit Chang Sheng's accusations against you?"
"I ask Mr. Baldini. Did the club play a disgraceful role in the conflict between Totti and Changsheng?"
Even Prandelli, the soy saucer, was not spared: "Excuse Prandelli. I often think that the reason why you can become the head coach of Rome is because Totti admires you more, not your coaching ability. Is there anything you want to say about this?"
Prandelli smiled wryly.
How did you get yourself involved in the war between Chang Sheng and the Club of Rome?
He had no choice but to answer: "Is it my level to be appreciated by Totti?"
But Baldini couldn't be fooled like that.
Chang Sheng criticized Baldini many times in the article, and the reporters came for Baldini.
Baldini seemed unprepared for this situation—he had never imagined that Chang Sheng's soliloquy on that shabby personal website would have any influence.
Baldini believes that the media should be dominated by traditional media such as newspapers, television and radio. network? It was a thing for children to entertain themselves.
Unexpectedly, it is almost 2005, and the influence of the Internet is increasing day by day.
He didn't even look at what Chang Sheng said, and how would he respond to Chang Sheng's words...
So in the face of the reporters' questioning, he could only be tongue-tied...
※※※
That night, Baldini was dumbfounded and didn't know how to behave, so he appeared on the football programs of major TV stations and became the object of ridicule by celebrities.
Chang Sheng has criticized the Italian media for treating all football insiders with a critical eye, but not only him, but also the club's top executives are often the target of ridicule by these media people.
This time, poor Baldini was shot.
The media were still mocking and criticizing Chang Sheng before, but when Chang Sheng's article was published, the details he disclosed immediately made the media turn their heads and spray towards the Club of Rome.
Because after reverse reasoning from Chang Sheng's article, the media found that what Chang Sheng said was very reasonable, and the performance of the Club of Rome was indeed suspicious, so they turned to attack the Club of Rome.
In other words, some media knew that Chang Sheng's dismissal was not so simple, but no one broke the window paper. There is no need for them to offend the Club of Rome. Now that Chang Sheng has pierced the window paper, Chang Sheng must be the villain. He is MT, at the forefront, attracting hatred and firepower from the Club of Rome, and the media are willing to follow him to bombard the Club of Rome. conscientious media".
The third type is purely soy sauce, with no position at all. Since everyone is scolding the Club of Rome, it must be right to follow suit. This is also a hot topic right now. It is better to hype hot spots and guarantee sales, than to find another way to die without knowing how it died. Just like they attacked Chang Sheng together before, they were just following the crowd. If everyone scolded Chang Sheng, they would scold him too. In this way, whether it is the Roma Club or Changsheng, even if they want to settle the score after the fall, they will not be blamed. Because they were not the first to run out and start firing, this is a very safe way to hype and increase their sales.
These three media basically sum up all media.
Overnight, the wind changed direction.
The Club of Rome was pushed to the cusp.
At this time, it is obviously inappropriate to keep silent and ignore Chang Sheng's "self-talk" written on the Internet.
So the Club of Rome could not respond.
Baldini called the reporters urgently the next day. He was interviewed by these reporters in the office of his general manager.
In the face of reporters, he emphasized that the reason for the club's dismissal of Chang Sheng is very clear, there is no problem, and the conflict between him and Totti has affected the entire club. Only by expelling Chang Sheng can the club regain peace.
But the reporters obviously wouldn't let him be fooled so easily.
Everyone asked what role the club played in the conflict between Totti and Changsheng.
Chang Sheng claimed that the club had promised him. Will help resolve the conflict, but in fact what the club did was to side with Totti. Fanning the flames, trying to force Chang Sheng away.
Because of the conflict between himself and Totti, the club realized that it was impossible for them to keep Changsheng, because it was absolutely impossible for them to give up Totti. So Chang Sheng must go.
But how exactly to go is the question. If Chang Sheng resigns voluntarily, the club can save Chang Sheng's salary compensation for the next two years, which is a good deal. They don't want to take the initiative to fire Chang Sheng, so they have to pay Chang Sheng all the salary for the remaining two years of the contract as compensation for their termination.
Two-year salary, Changsheng's annual salary of 3.3 million euros in the second year, and 3.8 million euros in the third year.
Two years add up to 7.1 million euros.
This can be described as a heavy burden for Rome, which is not in a particularly good financial situation.
Therefore, Rome hopes to force Chang Sheng to leave voluntarily. They are behind the scenes and encourage players to make trouble with Chang Sheng.
But who would have thought that Chang Sheng didn't want to be a loser who stalked away with his tail between his legs, so he persisted and didn't resign. He even wanted to bring Rome back on track—he almost succeeded, but the Club of Rome finally couldn't stand it anymore. Because Totti gave an ultimatum to the Club of Rome: "If the Chinese doesn't leave, he will leave!"
This is what Rome fears most. Looking for Chang Sheng in the summer is to appease Totti's restless heart. I didn't expect to find the wrong person, but it made Totti even more irritable...
So Rome would rather pinch his nose to pay Chang Sheng's salary compensation than let Chang Sheng go.
Of course, no one should know that they forced Chang Sheng to leave, it would be disgraceful to say so.
So they put the blame on Chang Sheng.
The only thing they miscalculated was that they didn't expect Chang Sheng to be so fucked up, never to take the blame, and insisted on dragging Rome into the water...
Pressed by the reporters step by step, Baldini finally couldn't resist and told the truth.
"Yes... Between Chang and Totti, we had to choose... I guess it's an easy choice for all Romans? We made the right decision... The king is dead, Long live the king. There can be many kings, but only one flag, and Totti is our flag. We have no reason to change our flag..."
He is tantamount to admitting that the club broke their promise between Chang Sheng and Totti, and did not mediate the conflict, but intensified the conflict and let Chang Sheng leave. It's a pity that they didn't succeed, and in the end they had to pinch their noses and pay compensation to let Chang Sheng leave.
Moreover, after Chang Sheng left, he would bite back and prevent the Club of Rome from coming down.

When Chang Sheng saw the video of Baldini being interviewed on TV, he posted a new message on his already well-known personal website.
"There's a line I haven't said in a long time, and I thought I'd never have the chance to say it again, after all, I'm not the same guy I was. But thank you Roma, you guys gave me the chance to relive it. The feeling of this sentence. What I want to say is: You will regret it, Rome!" (To be continued.
