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.
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 previously 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, at the pre-match press conference with Juventus, Chang Sheng suddenly broke out.
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 this reporter asked this question, Chang Sheng suddenly exploded.
"Yes, yes, we have not won against Juventus away from home for three consecutive seasons. 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 because he doesn't know about 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 in a strange tone.
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? What was our record at the Alpi Stadium? Seven wins in a row? Eight wins 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? Then can you please also give us a bad performance?”
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 used to this situation yet.
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 actually 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 performance?
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 at this stadium in the past ten years. Is this considered a poor performance?
Unless Lazio loses several games in a row here, it can mean 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 others.
Many reporters were afraid to look at him under his sharp eyes.
Chang Sheng glanced at the audience, and everyone lowered their heads under his gaze. Then he said with satisfaction: "Of course, I know you must be unconvinced. You will think this is Lazio's consecutive performance at the Alpi Stadium."
The losses have to start. So to make you fully realize how small you are, we will win against Juventus away from home. If you want proof, this is the proof!"

After the press conference, the media rushed to report Chang Sheng’s harsh words at the press conference.
Chang Sheng, however, has not done this for a long time, so that when he said something harsh this time, the media was able to report 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.
There are so many games that Chang Sheng says he must win. If he reports them every time, will there not be enough space?
But now, it has become news that he said he must win against Juventus.
Was it still a big deal if Lazio beat Juventus in the past?
Even Chang Sheng was surprised when he saw the news media reporting this matter so extensively, and asked his assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez: "Have I kept a low profile for so long?"
Rudy Gonzalez smiled and said: "It seems so!"
Chang Sheng 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... OK, I have decided that in this last season, I will keep a high profile to the end!"

What is the Turin media's evaluation of the fact that Juventus must be defeated to win the game?
"Speaking of what is the most classic scene in the first ten years of the Premier League? I don't think it was Manchester United or Arsenal winning the trophy, but Kevin Keegan's incoherent words when faced with Manchester United's relentless pursuit.
words!"
Some TV stations also put together two videos of Chang Sheng and Kevin Keegan.
Kevin Keegan was incoherent in front of the TV cameras and said excitedly: "I just love beating them! I just love it!" This sentence became a classic quote in the first ten years of the Premier League.
In the eyes of the Turin media, what Chang Sheng is saying today is so similar to what Kevin Keegan said back then?
Kevin Keegan was crushed by Ferguson's psychological warfare.
So does it mean that Chang Sheng has also collapsed due to the tremendous pressure from the media?
Then we'll have to wait and see again during the game.

Lazio's away match against Juventus came the next night.
This game is the highlight of this league round.
The focus of everyone's attention.
Chang Sheng's words obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of Juventus fans. Before the game against us, he bluntly said that he wanted to beat us. Do you still have us, Juventus, in your eyes?
As a result, the atmosphere at this game was particularly lively.
Originally, the atmosphere at Juventus' home court was very average, not too fanatical.
Juventus is also aware of this problem, so they built a stadium that is not too big.
Otherwise, it will be like the old Alpi Stadium, which can accommodate too many people, but in fact half of every game is empty. In Turin itself, the more popular team is actually not Juventus, but "
"Red Bull" Turin.
Juventus is the team with the largest number of fans in Italy. However, they don’t have many fans in Turin. The result of the scattered fan base is that their home games have fewer fans than even Turin. This is in line with their giants.
The identities really don’t match...
As a result, in today's game, the atmosphere at Juventus' home court was very fanatical.
Juventus fans use various methods to make their home stadium look like hell.
Various flags, slogans insulting Lazio, cartoons that vilify Chang Sheng...
When the Lazio players came out to warm up, they heard huge boos from the Juventus fans.
The boos were far louder than the previous matches between Lazio and Juventus.
In previous games, especially when Lazio was strong, because Lazio always won against Juventus, Juventus fans were less motivated, and the atmosphere of the game against Lazio was relatively soothing.
The fans of Juventus were suddenly so cool and domineering, which made the Lazio players uncomfortable.
It's rare that they don't enjoy this kind of treatment at the Alpi Stadium.
When they returned to the locker room, Chang Sheng looked at them with a smile.
"How is it, how does it feel, being booed by so many people?"
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what was going on with the boss. How does it feel to be booed by so many people? Doesn't he know?
What else is there to ask?
Chang Sheng 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 does not bring too much pressure to you, but if there is pressure, it is okay, because this is what you have to bear. When each of you enters Lazio
, someone must have told you this, that playing in Lazio means being under tremendous pressure! So playing under pressure should be something you are accustomed to."
"But why do I have to say before the game that we are going to beat Juventus? Of course it's not because I'm full and have nothing to do, to put pressure on you. But there is another reason. So... do you want to hear a story, man?
They?" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
