Whether Rome will regret it, no one knows, because they will not admit it.
But in fact, no one needs to admit that Lazio fans are just using this method to ridicule Roma and attack their rivals in the same city.
Lazio defeated second division team Stadela 3:1 at home.
In the weekend's league match, Lazio drew 0:0 with Lecce away from home.
Not only did he not score a goal, he almost conceded a goal.
If it weren't for Handanovic's outstanding performance...
Perhaps the whole team was relieved after defeating Juventus, but the Lazio team's performance in this game was not very good.
This is the characteristic of young players. They can perform exceptionally well when facing strong opponents and defeat incredible enemies.
You can also become listless when facing a weak player, thus losing the game.
This team is still not stable enough. Chang Sheng has tried his best to make the team's performance more stable, but his ability is limited after all, especially when he faces the entire Serie A alone.
Although Lazio was tied in this game, they still ranked first. Juventus won the game and shared the same points with Lazio, but whether it was in terms of goals, goal difference, or the outcome of the two sides,
Lazio are ahead of Juventus.

After the game against Lecce, the winter break of Serie A begins.
Lazio finally won the winter break championship before the winter break.
This is an amazing achievement.
Everyone who knows and cares about Lazio knows how difficult it is for Lazio to achieve such results.
Because of such good results, I believe everyone should have good news when they gather for Christmas dinner.
But when Lotito told Chang Sheng that Lazio Club would not have a Christmas dinner, Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment.
"No? Impossible? Isn't this a very important festival?" he asked Lotito.
Lotito smiled a little awkwardly.
"Well, given the club's current financial situation... we believe in being frugal, so... the Christmas dinner has been cancelled."
Chang Sheng looked at Lotito blankly.
He had no idea that Lotito could dig to this extent...
But he also knows the current situation of Lazio. Although Lotito successfully got the Italian tax department to lower its debt requirements for Lazio, and only needs to repay 5.5 million euros per year. But it only brought Lazio back from the brink of death.
, but it is not out of danger, so now Lazio club still has to tighten its belt.
Until now, media personnel can only wait in a long queue to collect tickets at one window when they go to Lazio.
Chang Sheng sighed.
The Christmas dinner actually doesn't cost much, but Lotito believes that nothing will be allowed to increase the financial burden on the club.
He asked: "If you don't go to a high-end restaurant, you can't spend much money in the restaurant at the club's training base, right?" 1
Lotito seemed hesitant: "It also costs money to buy ingredients..."
Chang Sheng interrupted him: "Okay, Mr. Chairman. You have to understand that if you spend such a small amount of money now, you will reap more rewards in the future."
"What does this have to do with having a meal?"
Chang Sheng shrugged: "Why doesn't it matter? I think having a happy meal together on Christmas will help unite the team and improve our combat effectiveness, which will help our results next year. As our results improve, we will finally be able to
Naturally, we will receive more bonuses. When we successfully advance to next season and win the Champions League, we can transfer several million euros in the group stage alone. This money will be enough for us to pay off our debts. So this money is very worthwhile, and
If you really can't bear it, then I can pay for it out of my own pocket, right?"
Chang Sheng thought Lotito was going to refuse, but he didn't expect the other party to simply agree: "Okay, you can pay for it!"
Chang Sheng suddenly felt like he had been cheated...
※※※
In fact, Chang Sheng really didn't spend much money, the main thing was the cost of the ingredients. The chef team was all ready-made, they were brought by the Fermelo training base.
Except for Lotito and a few others, no one knew that Chang Sheng had paid for the Christmas dinner out of his own pocket.
But everyone can still see the club's embarrassment under the influence of the economic crisis - unlike usual, every season in the past, Lazio's Christmas dinner would be at the best high-end restaurant in Rome. The venue was directly reserved, and the restaurant was closed to the public on that day.
Accepting guests, only serving Lazio.
Now, their Christmas dinner is held in the Autumn Garden Restaurant, also known as the canteen, inside the Vermelo training base.
This is really shabby.
Although the city's rival Roma is not rich either, he can still have a beautiful lunch in a high-end restaurant under the attention of reporters' flashlights and cameras.
Compared with Rome, Lazio is simply a refugee...
※※※
On the day the training ended, which was the first day of the Christmas dinner, Chang Sheng announced the plan for the Christmas dinner.
It can be seen that every player is looking forward to this. The Christmas dinner is another opportunity to showcase themselves in front of the media and the public.
On the court, they are players, but on occasions like Christmas dinner, they are like stars walking on the red carpet. They can show their taste in fashion and show a completely different image from those who are sweating and panting on the court. This image
More handsome, cooler and more fashionable.
We are all young people and everyone likes to show off.
They can't show off their cars, their clothing taste, or their personal image on the court.
All of this can be achieved at Christmas dinners. Players from wealthy clubs have more opportunities, but players from Lazio only have this opportunity.
Therefore, they were looking forward to getting out of the car and walking through the red carpet at the entrance of the restaurant. Reporters on both sides were holding cameras and taking pictures, and many fans came to cheer and cheer... They
Enjoying such cheers is the best gift of Christmas.
But then Chang Sheng poured cold water on them.
"The meeting place, Formello."
The players were stunned for a moment: Vermelo? Isn't that the training base?
Why not go to the most upscale restaurant in the city?
Chang Sheng could see the disappointment in the players' eyes, and he continued: "Yes, the dinner will be in the players' restaurant at the training base. Remember to come on time."
After speaking, he turned around and left without further explanation.
Some words must be spoken at the right time to be effective.
※※※
As mortal enemies in the same city, everything can be used to compare and compare with each other.
Because this is the most intuitive and effective way for them to prove that they are doing better than the other party.
In the league standings, Lazio is doing much better than Roma, and they are the winter break champions.
Such achievements cannot be matched even by Rome.
But at Christmas time, Roma fans finally saved some of their frustrations - their Christmas dinner was more lively than Lazio's!
The media and fans gathered at the door of Rome's most luxurious restaurant, vying to witness the elegance of the big-name players. When Totti came on the stage, the fans cheered wildly, and the reporters couldn't wait to press the camera shutter.
The flash lights were connected together.
What about Lazio?
They were actually having dinner inside their own training base! It was so shabby!
There were no reporters swarming here or cheering fans.
The Lazio players drove or even took a taxi to Formello. Although they were all dressed up, they seemed to be in a low mood due to the lack of cheering spectators.
※※※
Lotito really didn't understand why Chang Sheng insisted on having a Christmas party. Looking at the current situation, the players didn't look very happy after entering the restaurant.
Rather than forcing it like this, it is better not to do it directly and give everyone a holiday in advance so that they can do whatever they want.
At least they don't need to be compared together.
But Chang Sheng seemed to be in a good mood. After he drove to the training base, he was even humming.
Of course, if some people listen carefully, they will hear that he is humming an Avril Lavigne song.
When all the players arrived, the restaurant door closed and the dinner officially began.
Of course, before eating, it is always the leader who speaks, and this makes no difference whether it is at home or abroad.
Lotito took the stage first as the president of the club. He thanked the players for their hard work and dedication in the past year, especially after the club faced almost bankruptcy, the team was still able to perform so well. He wanted to
The players expressed their gratitude.
Lotito said a lot of beautiful words, but there was no real content, such as salary increases and bonuses.
It's not that Lotito doesn't know how to say it, it's that he doesn't dare to say it.
Now that the club's finances are still very tight, he doesn't dare to make random wishes. Being stingy, he naturally can't take the initiative to increase the team's bonus.
Seeing that the players were in a low mood, Lotito himself was also in a low mood.
So he said a few simple words and went down.
There was applause, but it was somewhat sparse.
Everyone is not in a high mood...
The players' restaurant is a place they are very familiar with. Holding a Christmas dinner here is like having a party at home where they eat every day. It always lacks freshness and excitement.
And to be honest, since the salary cut for chefs, the food in the restaurant has become more and more unpalatable...
Who would like to have a Christmas party in a place like this?
They really don't know what Chairman Lotito thinks.
If you really don’t have money, then just don’t open it!
Amid sparse applause, Chang Sheng walked onto the stage with a microphone.
He also wants to speak.
Seeing him take the stage, the applause was finally louder than before, and the previous unhappy expressions on the players' faces were wiped away.
No one dares to show dissatisfaction in front of Chang Sheng. Chang Sheng has conquered these players with his ability and skills. Especially using a dog to help them correct their problem of not working hard in training...
They really can't believe how their boss came up with this idea...

PS, there are still six chapters left to pay off the debt. I have been owing it since the new book month until now. I am really ashamed, but at least I have paid it off...
