The post-match press conference has become the focus of media coverage, and the game itself has become the embellishment and explanation of the post-match press conference.
To let everyone know why there was such a fierce conflict between the coaches of both teams at the post-match press conference, you have to go back and look at the highlights of this game.
This is what some media do.
They put together the footage of the two head coaches attending the press conference after the game through editing. It looked like the two people were in the same time and space, and then they had a fierce verbal exchange.
In fact, the two of them said these words one after the other.
Then, between their verbal exchanges, scenes from the game were constantly inserted. For example, when Tony Twain criticized Lazio players for frequently falling to the ground, which was delaying the game time, there would be a Lazio player falling to the ground, and then the Nottingham Forest players would open their arms.
A shot of his arms full of helplessness.
When Chang Sheng complains about the turf problem, it will cut to the game. The camera has a close-up shot of the turf of the City Stadium. It is obvious that the ground is really bad. There are also shots of Lazio players making mistakes during the game because of the field.
In this way, a ten-minute TV program can explain all aspects of the game clearly.

The day after the game, Lazio and Nottingham Forest seemed to have agreed upon it, and almost simultaneously announced that they had filed an appeal with UEFA, hoping to resolve the issues that the other side had in this game.
UEFA's initial statement was completely directed at Lazio.
A UEFA spokesman said at a press conference that in the future UEFA will restructure its disciplines and crack down on unethical behaviors that occur on the pitch and those that seriously violate the spirit of fair play, such as "delaying game time tactics."
…
Even a fool can tell who these words are directed at.
UEFA has always wanted to get Lazio, but they just didn't have the chance.
Now they finally have a handle on how to win.
Naturally, I have to make full use of it.
However, Chang Sheng is not a soft persimmon that can be pinched casually.
Just after UEFA made this statement, Chang Sheng accepted an exclusive interview with reporters and criticized UEFA's remarks.
"Delaying the game time? Is my player's injury delaying the game time? I can report every player's post-match physical examination to UEFA as long as they need it. They can see what my players paid for the draw of this game.
The price. If this is to delay the game, then I think UEFA had better punish all teams in Europe, because no one can guarantee that their players will not be injured on the pitch!"
"Cavani's end was naturally to delay the game, but he received a yellow card. No one stipulates that this is not allowed in the game. Delaying the game is a tactic. Almost all teams will use it. Why UEFA
The United Nations did not want to crack down hard before, but now we want to crack down hard. Is it because now we have touched the interests of some people?"
The reporters who were interviewing Chang Sheng were so frightened that they turned pale when they heard what Chang Sheng said.
Chang Sheng is nakedly slapping UEFA in the face!
Although when he was young, Chang Sheng was fearless and even dared to challenge FIFA. However, as he grew older and had two more children, his temper gradually improved. Chang Sheng has not been seen for a long time.
So aggressive...
What Chang Sheng says and does now is just the way he acted back then.
Just like that, he scared the beautiful reporter who was interviewing him, which shows that Chang Sheng, a mad dog, has stopped asking about political affairs for a long time.
"Rather than this, I would like to ask UEFA. There are quality requirements for the turf in the Champions League matches. This is not news. Why is Nottingham Forest's home stadium allowed to host UEFA Champions League matches? If this behavior is banned
If it is allowed, then during Lazio's home games, it is very likely that our turf will suddenly get a strange disease and cannot be laid in the stadium. I think UEFA must not care about it, right?"
Then, at his own strong request, this winning interview appeared verbatim in the newspaper, spread quickly, was reprinted by other media, and became a hot news topic.
Chang Sheng's toughness shown in the interview surprised many people.
Just as the female reporter was surprised, Chang Sheng had not been so arrogant for a long time.
So much so that everyone has almost forgotten that he was actually a very fucked up person...
Although at the beginning of the season, there were rumors of discord between Chang Sheng and Lazio Club due to contract renewal issues. However, in this matter, Lazio Club still chose to stand with Chang Sheng.
After this interview came out, Lazio Club also issued a strongly worded official statement, saying that they would consider appealing to FIFA.
FIFA naturally favors Lazio, because the current leader of FIFA is Platini, who is the godfather of winning games!
At the same time, the relationship between FIFA and UEFA is also very tense. FIFA has long been looking for opportunities to deal with UEFA...
So by doing this, Lazio is taking advantage of UEFA's military.
※※※
To UEFA, FIFA is like a sword of Damocles hanging over its head.
FIFA cannot directly manage UEFA, but Platini, as the former chairman of UEFA, naturally has his own power in UEFA. Although for the time being, his power has been suppressed.
But that doesn't mean they don't have enough strength.
Platini has long wanted to bring UEFA into his sphere of influence, but he just didn't have a good excuse.
If UEFA really wants to deal with Lazio in a big way this time, then this may be an excellent opportunity for Platini!
Which one is more important?
There must be some debate and consideration within UEFA.
This is unknown.
Anyway, the final result was that UEFA issued a verbal warning to both sides, but did not propose any substantive punitive measures. They warned Lazio for this tactic of delaying the game time, and hoped that Lazio would not do it again. At the same time, they also
Warned about Nottingham Forest's stadium turf quality issues, and threatened that if such a situation occurs again, it will consider canceling Nottingham Forest's Champions League home qualification. Even if Nottingham Forest reaches the knockout stage, they will not be able to use their home court.
Combat.
The two clubs were having a good time before, and UEFA also made harsh words. Everyone was looking forward to a bloody massacre.
Who would have thought that in the end it would be such a light verbal warning.
This made many people very dissatisfied - I have taken off my pants, and you the fuck are just showing me this?!
Where is the big drama that was promised?!
It was agreed to kill without mercy, but what about the execution?!
There is nothing left.
Subsequently, UEFA stopped talking about the matter, and after a few days of clamoring in the media, it quickly cooled down.
What should have been a big news story just evaporated.

After the results of UEFA's handling came out, Chang Sheng didn't say anything else. Although this result did not cause Nottingham Forest to receive any real punishment, for an organization that wanted to fix itself, this result was already very good.
He is too lazy to compete with UEFA for 300 rounds or something.
He has more important things to be busy with.
This game caused heavy losses to Lazio. Not to mention Thiago's serious injury. The result of the post-match examination was that he had sprained his ankle and needed to be sidelined for three months.
So Lazio has one more person on the list of serious injuries...
Chang Sheng once said in the post-match press conference that his players fell to the ground because of injuries, rather than pretending to be injured to delay time.
There is certainly an exaggeration in what he said.
But it's not entirely wrong, because some players did get injured in this game.
It's just that it's not as serious as Thiago's, they are all minor injuries.
For example, minor sprains, muscle strains...
Others are just injured.
These injuries are not serious and won't cause long-term absences. But they are annoying.
Because there are still some absences for one or two games.
Even if they don't have to miss the game, it will affect their condition. After all, it is impossible to perform well if their body is in good condition.
Now Chang Sheng is busy rearranging his troops and adjusting training content.
Try to rest all injured players, regardless of whether they can play or not.
As a result, Lazio will be even more stretched in terms of manpower.

Nottingham Forest drew 1:1 with Lazio at their home court.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid lost to Dortmund at home.
As a result, this group presents a very delicate situation.
Lazio, with three wins and one draw in four games, has accumulated ten points and is naturally at the top of the list. Qualifying in the group is not a problem. It is probably not a problem to qualify first in the group.
The originally difficult group of death was in vain in front of Lazio.
However, between second and fourth place, the group of death still reflects its value well.
The second-ranked team is now Real Madrid. They have four points with third-ranked Dortmund. However, because Real Madrid has a greater goal difference than Dortmund, it is temporarily ranked second. After all the group matches are over, this
The rules of goal difference ranking do not apply. You must first compare the head-to-head record of both sides, as well as the goal difference and away goals during the match...
Ranked fourth is Nottingham Forest.
But even if they are ranked bottom, they still have three points.
There is only one point difference between the two teams ranked second and third.
With two rounds left in the group stage, this point difference can be said to be negligible.
Moreover, Nottingham Forest's opponents in the last two rounds of the group stage are Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
They have the opportunity to decide their own destiny when facing their competitors directly.
At the same time, it also determines the fate of the other party.
If they are to qualify, the last two rounds of the group stage are crucial.
Perhaps because of knowing this, Tony Twain did not continue to spit on Chang Sheng in the media. He may also be practicing hard. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster
