In this way, the Chinese national team completely settled down in Vermelo and began their training before the Asian Cup.
In addition to the fact that the media reporters sent back articles that scolded the Lazio club for doing whatever it takes to make money, it was so heartbreaking.
But this has no impact on the Lazio club.
Domestic fans did not follow their lead in condemning the despicable, shameless and greedy Lazio club.
Everyone knows that Lotito is greedy for money, so it is quite normal for him to do this.
Moreover, the training base belongs to others. If they are willing to charge admission fees, that is their freedom. Whether it is from a legal or moral perspective, it is not easy to accuse them.
They are an Italian team, but they are only related to Chinese football because they have a Chinese head coach.
There is really no way you can let an Italian who is not Chinese carry forward his style and provide free venues, food and accommodation for the Chinese national team without asking for anything in return.
Lotito is a businessman. The Lazio club's finances have only improved a few years ago, and the team's maximum salary is now only four million euros. Asking Lazio not to ask for anything in return is to stand up and talk without pain.
Besides, reporters were there in a swarm, what if they disturbed Lazio's preparations? Charging tickets also establishes a threshold access system to ensure the quietness of the training base.
So the readers are quite sensible, and they are much better behaved than those reporters...
Those aggrieved reporters saw that their reports had little repercussions in the country, and their influence was pitifully low. Everyone was still more interested in the preparations for the national football team and the interaction with Lazio.
The TV station in Shanghai broadcast live the training match between Lazio and the Chinese national team, and the ratings were surprisingly good.
This incident told those reporters a cruel fact. No one was interested in what tickets Lottie collected from them. Everyone just wanted to see the progress and news about the Chinese national team's preparations for training.
Gao Hongbo's national team played well and was related to Lazio, which suddenly made Chinese fans' expectations skyrocketing.
So soon there were no more news in newspapers, on TV or on the Internet about journalists criticizing Lotito for being greedy and for turning his elbows outward when winning.
Those "hard-core" reporters who had turned around and left after hearing that they had to pay for tickets to the Lazio club for interviews and filming, all came back eagerly at this time and took the initiative to ask Lotito for money to buy tickets.
Admission.
They turned around and left before. Pretending to be particularly courageous, they thought that Lazio Club would definitely bow their heads in the public opinion wave and admit their mistakes and reverse such a stupid decision.
So they criticized Lazio the most in their own media position.
Especially the "Sports Weekly" headed by Ma Fangxing publishes several articles every day about Lazio, Lotito and Gao Hongbo, most of which are written by Ma Fangxing.
But later these people discovered that it was not Lotito who was brainless, but them.
They want to use Chinese public opinion to influence clubs that threaten Italy... How stupid do you have to be to come up with such an idea?
Lazio will definitely not accept their tactics.
Sure enough, Lazio didn't care about them. Every time they came, they were told: Either pay for the tickets and enter the stadium, or wait at the door until the training is over.
After several fights with Lazio, they surrendered.
Other media outlets have first-hand photos and videos, but they have nothing. They just can’t think of it.
In order to compete for eyeballs, they had no choice but to bow to Lazio Club.
In fact, they don't care about so little money. Lotito still has a conscience. He is not really a lion who opens his mouth.
They just think why should we pay for reporting on our own country’s training?
However, they still failed in the face of the market economy. They failed miserably.
Just like that, they were cursing and paying at the same time.
But there is only one media outlet that is an exception.
When Ma Fangxing was about to pay, Lotito stopped him: "You can't do it. You can't go in even if you give me money."
Ma Fangxing was stunned for a moment and then became anxious. He yelled and asked: "Why?!"
"You are reporters from Sports Weekly. We have regulations and do not welcome any reporters from Sports Weekly to conduct interviews in any form." Lotito shrugged.
Ma Fangxing knows this rule, so there has never been any news about winning in Sports Weekly. Reports about Lazio can't mention winning, but reporting on Lazio doesn't mention winning. So what else is there to report?
Winning is a key word that Lazio cannot avoid.
Therefore, in this regard, "Sports Weekly" has been greatly affected. Their sales have declined year by year. Coupled with the impact of the Internet, "Sports Weekly" has long lost its past glory.
But Ma Fangxing thought to himself that this was the grudge between "Sports Weekly" European football and Chang Sheng. What does domestic football have to do with me? I'm here to report on the Chinese team, and I don't fucking care about you Lazio!
So he immediately protested: "This is unfair! We are here to interview the Chinese national team and it has nothing to do with you Lazio! You have no right to do this!"
Lotito shook his head: "This is the Formello training base and it is the property of Lazio Club. Lazio Club has absolute control here. Whoever we say is allowed to enter can enter, and whoever we say is not allowed to enter can enter."
, no one is allowed in!"
He said with a cold face.
The smile that had always been on his face was gone.
The businessman's face changed faster than that child's face...
When Ma Fangxing heard what he said and saw his expression, he suddenly became furious.
His main task is to follow up and interview the Chinese national team. Now that he is not allowed to enter, how can he report on the Chinese team's training? Is it all based on editing?
He took out his mobile phone, "How dare the little Lazio club play with me?"
There is someone above me, do you know?
Otherwise, how could I have obtained so much first-hand information?
Ma Fangxing called an acquaintance of his in the Football Association and protested and complained to him about this matter.
Then he hung up the phone and said viciously to Lotito: "I have reported this matter to the Chinese Football Association. You have no right to interfere with the reporter's normal interview!"
Soon Lotito also received a call.
Ma Fangxing was watching coldly from the side. It seemed that the Football Association was quite powerful. It placed a call on Lotito's mobile phone so quickly.
He sneered, wanting to see what else Lotito could do.
He believed that the Lazio club took the initiative to provide a venue for the Chinese team to train in order to promote themselves, further promote their image in China, expand their popularity, and open up the Chinese market.
So people within the Football Association told themselves that it was the Lazio club who took the initiative to invite, rather than the Football Association coming to them. This explains the problem.
He believes that if the Football Association puts pressure, the Lazio club will not dare to violate it because they cannot give up this opportunity to promote themselves in the Chinese market, so they will definitely succumb to the Football Association's will.
He has this confidence.
Just as he was thinking about this, Lotito hung up the phone, and then he came over and looked at Ma Fangxing.
"Mr. Ma, I don't like swearing very much, so this makes it difficult for me. But I still want to help people convey the message. Your country's Football Association has communicated with us, and they resolutely obey our arrangements and will never
Don’t interfere in our training base affairs.”
Lotito looked at Ma Fangxing and sneered, "Finally, Chang asked me to give you a message for him. He said: Ma Fangxing, right? Get out!"
Ma Fangxing stared at Lotito with his mouth wide open, unable to believe what he heard.
Doesn’t the Football Association care?
Chang Sheng still wants him to get out?
This...world...is a bit...crazy?
※※※
Ma Fangxing finally left. And when he left, he was quite lost. It seemed that he had no idea that things would eventually turn into this ending.
Of course. Without knowing the inside story, he would naturally think that Lazio is begging the Chinese team to come here for training, but in fact it is the Chinese team that is eager to come to Lazio for training...
He died of information asymmetry, and his death was not unjust at all.
※※※
While the Chinese team is preparing for the Asian Cup, Lazio is also preparing for the game against Inter Milan.
The fifteenth round of the league is Lazio's home game against Inter Milan.
If it were in the past, the clash between Lazio and Inter Milan would have been the most anticipated and most enjoyable game in Serie A today.
But starting from this season, this is no longer the case.
Mourinho left Inter Milan this summer to coach Real Madrid.
Everyone thought that Inter Milan would find a world-class coach of similar caliber to Mourinho to coach the team and continue to challenge Lazio's hegemony in the Serie A. It seems that only Inter Milan has this strength.
Already.
At that time, the media was very enthusiastic about finding a head coach for Inter Milan.
Among them, Guardiola is the one who has been rumored the most.
Because Guardiola was severely criticized by Cruyff after Barcelona lost to Lazio, everyone thought that his time in Barcelona was over.
It just so happens that Mourinho is leaving Inter Milan, so it should be a natural thing for Inter Milan to find Barcelona coach Guardiola to coach, right?
Besides, considering the grievances between Guardiola and Chang Sheng, if he comes, this league will be much better.
And Guardiola is currently the only coach in the world who can possibly defeat a winning coach in key games...
But I didn't expect that Inter Milan's management once again shocked the world. The head coach they finally chose was... Leonardo!
Yes, Leonardo coached AC Milan last season and was beaten by Leonardo!
This is Lazio’s opponent in the new season!
Many media outlets complained that Moratti's choice was really unpredictable.
They don't understand why Moratti chose Leonardo.
The only reasonable reason is that Moratti has given up pursuing the league championship and changed his competition to the more realistic city rival AC Milan.
So they invited Leonardo.
But based on Leonardo's performance when coaching AC Milan, can he really lead Inter Milan to beat AC Milan?
I'm afraid it's difficult, right?
From this point of view, Inter Milan's invitation to Leonardo may not be for competitive reasons, but rather to take the opportunity to disgust the AC Milan people.
After all, Leonardo has always been from AC Milan, but now he has turned to his rival in the same city. This really surprised and shocked the supporters of AC Milan...
Of course, there is also nausea.
Some people ridiculed Leonardo that his true love turned out to be Inter Milan. He worked hard as an undercover agent in AC Milan for more than ten years, and now he can finally abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. How else to explain that he led AC Milan to a 0:4 home victory last season?
Losing to Inter Milan and then being double beaten by Inter Milan 0:2 in the away game?
※※※
In this game with Inter Milan, now that Inter Milan's head coach has been replaced by Leonardo, Chang Shenglian no longer has the mood to have a war of words with the opponent's coach.
Prepare silently before the game, and then when the game starts, just start playing.
Leonardo did not take the initiative to start a war of words. He was taught a lesson by Chang Sheng when he was in AC Milan last season.
Moreover, after he coached Inter Milan, his results were not good.
After fourteen league rounds, the Inter Milan he coached had six wins, five draws and three losses, ranking sixth with 23 points.
In the past few seasons, whether Inter Milan was coached by Mancini or Mourinho, although it was always at a disadvantage in the competition with Lazio, its overall performance in the league was still good. It had never been so bad.
Ranking?
Because of such results, Leonardo has also been under tremendous pressure, and naturally has no confidence to challenge him for victory. (To be continued...)
ps: In order to thank everyone for their great performance yesterday, today is the fourth update!
