After the game, the media were all paying attention to what Chang Sheng announced at the post-game press conference.
"Lazio head coach Chang accepted our interview at the post-match press conference. He talked about his goals for this season. He revealed that Lazio will defend the Triple Crown this season..."
"He often makes bold statements here! It seems that he really means what he said on the plane flying back to Rome from Abu Dhabi. He wants to create a future prospect that has never been touched before! He really is.
Take the road that no one else has walked and do the things that no one else has done!"
"If Lazio really defends the Triple Crown, it will really have embarked on a path that no one has ever set foot on! Because in the history of European football, there has never been a team that can successfully defend the Triple Crown! The closest thing.
The successful defenders were Ajax and PSV. They both won two championships in the second season after winning the Triple Crown, but they missed the third championship. Especially Ajax,
They defended the Champions League and League titles the following year, but fell short of the Dutch Cup title..."
"Looking at it now, Lazio will definitely not be able to win the league title, and there is not much suspense about the Italian Cup championship. The only suspense may be in the Champions League. Lazio's opponent in the quarter-finals is... Bayern Munich.
Before last year's Champions League final, Bayern Munich could have been Lazio's nemesis, making Lazio's road to defending the title more difficult. But after experiencing the Bernabeu, everyone understood that Bayern Munich could not be Lazio's rival.
It is almost impossible for those who compete, especially the Bundesliga giants who are going through the pain of replacement, to stop Lazio. At least Lazio can easily pass the Champions League round of 16, which is one step away from their Champions League champion.
It’s just a few steps away.”
"I don't know if Chang saying this will put pressure on his players. Anyway, I already feel the pressure. In fact, I also hope that Lazio succeeds... because as Chang said on the plane, what is the scenery ahead?
, none of us know, and no one has seen a team that can defend the Triple Crown. So I am also curious about what world football will be like after a team does it..."
…
That night, not only Italian but also all European media were discussing this matter.
The media and fans were excited.
This is the first time Chang Sheng has shouted the slogan of defending the Triple Crown.
Everyone is looking forward to winning often and leading Lazio to create a scenery that no one has ever seen.
Even many neutral fans hope so.
If a team can do it, they would be happy to do it.
This is especially true in China. Everyone almost overwhelmingly supports Chang Sheng and Lazio.
Who makes Lazio's head coach a Chinese?
Chang Sheng's performance at Lazio proved that a Chinese football coach can also compete with other famous coaches on the top stage in Europe.
This greatly satisfies the national pride of many Chinese fans.

Chang Sheng's words also aroused quite a response among the Lazio players.
In fact, these players have had a premonition for a long time. The boss has said that they will take a road that others have not walked. How could they give up such an interesting and challenging thing as defending the Triple Crown?
It's just that the boss has never publicly acknowledged this matter before, as if he was secretly preparing for it.
Everyone still has some doubts in their hearts - maybe the boss doesn't think so? Are we misunderstanding the direction if we think so?
But after the Coppa Italia quarter-finals with Naples, Lazio players all understood what the boss's decision was.
Their suspicions were confirmed, they were indeed going to defend the Triple Crown!
If anyone is worried that Chang Sheng’s announcement of this goal will put Lazio players under tremendous pressure, then they should take a look at the Lazio dressing room at this moment, and they will know how wrong they are...
"Has the boss finally said this? I've been waiting for him for a long time!"
"Defending Triple Crown Champion! I almost couldn't sleep last night! Boss's goal is so domineering!"
"This is indeed a road that has never been traveled before. No team has ever done it to defend the Triple Crown. Guys! From now on, we are creating new history every step of the way!"
Before the start of training for the new day, Lazio players were discussing this matter in the dressing room of the Vermelo training base.
There was no trace of nervousness or worry on the faces of everyone who talked about this matter. On the contrary, they had expressions of excitement on their faces.
It's like saying something very happy.
No one thinks this is something difficult to accomplish.
For them, this season's league championship is already within their grasp, and the Coppa Italia title is not that difficult. It means that they have to use all their strength to deal with only the Champions League.
And with their strength, if they go all out in the Champions League, they firmly believe that no team can stop them.
This is the source of their confidence.
Since we have said that we will pave the way with the boss and set up a monument for future generations, how can we back down in the face of difficulties?
Chang Sheng originally asked Fontana to pay attention to the players' psychological conditions.
Because he has made it clear, he wants to see if the players will be discouraged by this goal and have various negative emotions of being nervous and giving up.
Fontana's reward was a flawless performance from the players.
"I have never seen a team with such high morale and high confidence." Fontana's reply was this. "Everyone is full of fighting spirit. They can't wait to play against their opponents and completely defeat the teams that doubt them."
Get down! This is a positive emotion, there is no negative emotion in it, not a trace. During this period, you should be able to relax about the mental health of the players."
"Speaking of which, it was also because of your words this time that the players who had lost their goals after winning the six-time championship found their goals again, so now when the goal appears, they will move forward bravely regardless of their own safety.
"
Fangtana finally flattered Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng accepted it with a smile.
This was all what he expected, but he was happy to hear that none of the players backed down.
This shows that the Lazio team is also full of ambitions like him, and they want to expand the territory of their positions.
Since you have a goal, it's easy to handle. The biggest fear of leading a team is not pursuing it.
This is the reason why the so-called "people's hearts are scattered and the team is difficult to lead".

Since the players don't have any objections, it's even less objectionable if they win often.
In the next game, the whole team will rush to defend the Triple Crown...
On January 29, in the 22nd round of the league, Lazio faced Fiorentina at home.
There is no suspense in this game. Lazio playing at home is very scary.
In the end, the Blue Eagles defeated Fiorentina 2-0 at home.
Continuing their winning streak this season.
This was their 21st consecutive victory and their 61st consecutive unbeaten game.
Chang Sheng is getting closer and closer to the record set by himself.
The twenty-third round of the league is Lazio's away game against AC Milan.
Under the leadership of Allegri this season, AC Milan has performed outstandingly. After experiencing the pain at the beginning of the season, they quickly found their rhythm.
AC Milan currently ranks second with 46 points after the second round of the league.
If it weren't for the terrifying Lazio, they would be first in the league.
Lazio played 21 of the 22 league rounds and won all! With 63 points, they are 17 points ahead of AC Milan.
Such a huge point difference makes the so-called goal of competing for the league championship meaningless.
Many teams that usually have the strength to compete for the league championship are now aiming to qualify for next season's Champions League, which seems more realistic.
Otherwise, it would be ridiculous to talk about the league championship when we are behind by more than ten points or even more than twenty points.
Although the league ranking points are very different, this does not mean that AC Milan has nothing to do with Lazio. In the fourth round of the league, Lazio defeated AC Milan 2:0 at home. However, Allegri had just taken over the team at that time and was still
During labor pains.
Since then, AC Milan's performance has continued to improve, eventually ranking second in the league.
There are many fewer points than Lazio because Lazio's performance is too stable and they can win no matter what opponent they face. AC Milan's performance is still within the normal range. Sometimes they lose and sometimes they draw.
In the 22nd round of the league, AC Milan drew four games and lost four games. This performance is normal.
However, Lazio, who have never lost or drawn a game, is too abnormal, so Lazio's performance has no reference value.
Moreover, the competition in a single game does not look at the previous results of the two teams, but only depends on the state and ability displayed by the two teams in these two games.
AC Milan is in good shape now, and it's at home, which doesn't mean there's no hope of beating Lazio.
Of course, before the game, AC Milan was very low-key from the club to the media. Especially the media, they never said anything like "This is a perfect opportunity for AC Milan to get revenge." "This is definitely an opportunity for AC Milan to get revenge."
This time is 100% a chance for AC Milan to get revenge." Such words are demeaning.
Every time they said this before, AC Milan would die miserably in the end, so now they have learned their lesson.
We will keep a low profile and not talk about this matter, nor will we promote the hatred between AC Milan and Lazio.
If you don’t know enough about the relationship between the two clubs, you would think that the relationship between the two clubs is very good...
Actually, what a piece of shit!
If you want to say who is the club that AC Milan really hates now, I'm afraid it's not their city rival Inter Milan, but Lazio.
The main reason is that Lazio's head coach Chang Sheng has a lot of personal grudges with AC Milan. He broke various AC Milan records and personally attacked AC Milan's head coach Silvio Berlusconi... The feud between them lasted for three days.
I couldn't finish talking in three nights.
AC Milan wishes he could eat his flesh raw.
If given the chance, they would not mind cutting Lazio into pieces, but where is such an opportunity...?
