Chapter 103 Don't give up until the last second (guarantee
Although perhaps even Lazio's own fans don't think Lazio still hopes to win the league title.
But Chang Sheng is always the last one to give up.
He doesn't care how the home fans send him off or how they feel about parting.
All he can think about now is the league championship.
For him, there are still ninety minutes left in the last game of the season, and these ninety minutes are the final battle. Even if he loses, he has to fight until the last second.
Before the game, Chang Sheng was still criticizing the Italian Football Association's favoritism.
"... I don't understand why we don't even have a spare trophy here? Is the Italian Football Association hinting at something? I hope I am wrong."
At the pre-match press conference, Chang Sheng had a straight face and did not save any face for the Italian Football Association.
With his winning position in European football, especially Italian football, what he said will put a lot of pressure on the Italian Football Federation.
Moreover, what the Italian Football Association did was indeed very unfair.
Even if Juventus leads Lazio by three points, Lazio seems to have little hope.
But at least Lazio still has a theoretical hope of winning the championship.
So the Italian Football Association completely ignored Lazio, which is really bullying.
Perhaps it is because Chang Sheng will leave next season and Lotito has already sold off his shares. This club needs to be changed from top to bottom, so naturally it has no status at all.
But it is understandable that the Football Association feels this way privately, but it would be abnormal to express it outright.
Therefore, as soon as Chang Sheng's criticism came out, the Italian Football Association immediately gave an explanation, saying that it was just a mistake in their work and was not directed at Lazio, nor did it imply anything.
At the same time, they said they would send a spare trophy to the Wanda Stadium immediately.
Chang Sheng did not make any further response.
According to the procedure, the real trophy goes to the team ranked first, and the backup trophy goes to the team ranked second.
There is nothing wrong with this approach and it does not reflect any discrimination.
If the Football Association had arranged it this way from the beginning, Chang Sheng Lian would not have said a word.
He is not that glassy yet.
It's really the Football Association's behavior that is outright looking down on people, and they don't take his winning streak seriously.
That's why he was so angry.
At least the team's momentum cannot be lost. If you look down on me, I will slap you in the face!
※※※
For the last home game, the Wanda Stadium was overcrowded early and was almost full—mostly because some seats were left vacant for safety reasons.
So it's not completely full.
But even so, the attendance of today's game has set a new record for this stadium.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "full".
Twenty minutes before the start of the game, the stadium gate was closed because all the fans with tickets had already entered.
The atmosphere in the stands was very lively.
The most popular hit songs were being played on the radio, but the music was completely drowned out by the singing of the Lazio fans.
Lazio fans did not follow the song on the radio, but wrote a song dedicated to Chang Sheng by themselves.
Popular players will have one or more songs written by fans.
Changsheng is no exception and there are many of them.
Various, used at different times.
When we take the lead, the fans sing songs praising the victory.
When they are behind, the fans sing songs calling for victory.
In the relaxed and happy atmosphere of the game, the fans sang songs joking about Chang Sheng.
This is how Lazio fans show their love for winning.
In addition, the stands are also covered with various slogans, portraits and so on wishing victory and gratitude.
The scene is very spectacular.
There is no suspense in such a game, and no one cares about the league championship.
They may even have done this on purpose. To make the atmosphere livelier and more lively.
They hope to use such a strong farewell atmosphere to dilute the sadness of not winning the league championship.
I hope everyone's attention will not be on the ownership of the league championship, but on saying goodbye to the winning streak.
The last home court, it’s too late to take a look at it...
※※※
Just when everyone was busy creating a home atmosphere, Chang Sheng was in the locker room and said to his players: "...It seems that only a miracle can help us win the championship. But I am best at creating miracles.
So I haven't given up the hope of winning the championship. What's going on with Juventus? Let's not worry about the last game. Let's not let the chain slip. That's the kind of person I am. I won't give up until the end of the game.
Even if there is only a very small hope, we must try our best. So we not only have to win this game, we also have to win with a big score! Let everyone see our belief in winning the championship!"
In the eyes of the players, this was the boss's last home game, but he was still preparing for the game with concentration, and his professionalism made everyone feel ashamed.
Just like the boss said, don't give up hope until the last moment.
This game must show our Lazio’s fighting spirit!
The Lazio players, who had lost their fighting spirit due to the slim hope of winning the league, have revived again.
This is the boss’s last game at home. What he emphasizes the most is his game attitude. Xing’s game attitude must be correct!!
※※※
The final round kicked off at the same time.
Ten Serie A stadiums blew the whistle for the start of the game at the same time.
The fateful ninety minutes begin...···
Lazio used their powerful offense to score a goal at the beginning of the game.
In the seventh minute, Lazio led 1-1 at home.
There was a burst of cheers in the stands.
But this cheer is not dedicated to the goal scorer, but to Lazio's head coach who always wins.
Amidst the cheers, Chang Sheng's expression was very serious, and he did not smile for the team's goal.
In his opinion, goals and victory are natural. The only thing he cares about in this game is whether there will be a good result in the end and whether it will bring him a league championship.
Therefore, he is directing this game, but in fact his mind is on another stadium, the Alpi Stadium of Juventus.
Sitting next to him was assistant coach Rudy.
Gonzalez is wearing headphones and listening to the live broadcast of the game there.
And report the live action of Juventus and Cagliari games to Chang Sheng at any time.
"Neither side scored a goal..."
"Juventus' offensive is very fierce, Cagliari can only shrink its defense..."
"Goal post! It was so dangerous, Juventus almost took the lead!"
Something like this.
Chang Sheng was unsmiling throughout the whole process.
What a farewell ceremony for the last home game... He was not in the mood to enjoy it at all.
Besides, he's not leaving, so why not be the last one?
※※※
Lazio scored four goals against Bologna in the first half.
Next door, it was still 0:0, with neither team scoring a goal.
If Juventus draws in this game, they will also be the league champion.
So this score does not mean that Juventus is in danger, the key is to look at the process of the game.
During the halftime break, Chang Sheng simply laid out the team's tactics for the second half - to continue scoring goals and score as many goals as they could.
There is nothing easy to arrange. Everyone knows how to score goals. If the game is going so smoothly, there is actually no need for a head coach.
Then Chang Sheng left time for the players to deal with themselves. He and two assistant coaches ran outside the locker room and studied the highlights of the first half of the game between Juventus and Cagliari on the computer.
After reading it, Chang Sheng frowned.
Juventus completely suppressed Cagliari in the first half and had countless opportunities.
The lack of goals may be because Juventus were too relaxed.
But even so, they can completely accept a draw.
If the second half is like this, Juventus will definitely win the championship.
From this point of view, Lazio's efforts are more like useless efforts.
Rudy.
Gonzalez looked victorious.
Seems to be asking for his opinion.
Chang Sheng frowned and finally said: "No matter what, we will fight until the last second."
※※※
In the Juventus locker room, although Prandelli verbally criticized the team's performance and believed that they should have led Cagliari by at least two goals in the first half, he was still very happy in his heart.
Even a draw would be enough to suppress Lazio.
He has defeated Chang Sheng in the league title race for two consecutive seasons, which gives him a sense of accomplishment.
The bad temper that Chang Sheng once scolded as "junk food" was finally vented!
The atmosphere in the Juventus dressing room is also very relaxed.
Although the huge advantage in the first half did not translate into a goal, Juventus was full of confidence.
This shows that they can score goals at any time as long as they want to.
The key depends on their mood.
So what if we didn't score in the first half?
We just need to score one goal in the second half.
You don’t need to win too much in this game, just win one goal and just rely on this one to defeat Lazio. That would be so exciting!
As for the news that Lazio led Bologna by four goals in the first half, it did not attract their attention at all.
※※※
The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly.
In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Lazio continued to attack Bologna. Bologna also knew that they were destined to be a supporting role in today's game.
Because this is Chang Sheng's last home game at Lazio, his players will definitely bid farewell to their boss with a hearty victory.
Bologna can only blame its own bad luck. In the final round of the league, it was Lazio instead of Juventus...
As for Juventus, they still controlled the ball easily and then pressed Cagliari to play.
He completely ignored this opponent who was determined to avoid relegation.
They only have the championship in their eyes now!
There are forty-five minutes left to defend the league title.
There are forty minutes left to defend the league title.
There are thirty-five minutes left before the defending league champion...
This countdown occupies a large place in the hearts of every Juventus player.
