Chapter 221 Volcanic Ash

After the first round of the Champions League semi-finals, Lazio has two league games left in the league. In the thirty-seventh round of the league, Lazio challenged Livorno away.

Among Lazio's mortal enemies, Roma counts as one, and so does Livorno.

Because Lazio is a right-wing team and Livorno is a left-wing team.

This is a political contradiction.

But after the unteachable faction was killed by Lazio, the conflict between the two teams has faded a lot.

In the past, the Uneducable faction kidnapped the team to promote their political ideas.

They brought the swastika flag into the stadium again and publicly promoted the Nazi ideology, because their opponent was Livorno in that game. The Uneducables claimed they did this because Livorno first brought the flag of the ** into the stadium, and in return they were only allowed to carry the swastika flag...

But from this we can see how uneducated the uneducable faction is...

Now that such an organization is determined to be "illegal", no one cares about politics.

There was also a lot less non-football content in this game for both sides.

Chang Sheng doesn't care about things like right wing and left wing. A football game is a football game. Any consideration he makes is only from the perspective of football. Because Livorno is a left-wing team, he will win regardless of everything, and he will not be lenient to Livorno, which is holding the Chinese flag, just because he is Chinese.

This game has won all the main players to rest.

Some reserve players and substitute players were sent.

If the Uneducables were still there, they would definitely criticize Chang Sheng angrily in their "Voice of the North Stand" as a lackey of the left.

Now... no one talks about it anymore.

This is not to save Livorno. The purpose of Chang Sheng's doing this is very simple, that is to let the players rest as much as possible.

The kind of tactics they had succeeded in exhausting Barcelona were not their own.

The Lazio players finally gritted their teeth and insisted, but they didn't let Barcelona see it.

If you don't rest,

Lazio is estimated to be similar to Barcelona.

And next week it's Lazio's turn to go away. Chang Sheng must also be prepared. In case the impact of the Icelandic volcanic eruption has not passed and flights continue to be grounded, his team will also have to take a bus to Barcelona. This will have a very obvious impact on physical fitness.

Barcelona is known for its physical fitness, and it was a bit unbearable to be dragged by this long-distance travel.

Chang Sheng now has to rejoice that his opponent is Barcelona and not Moscow, otherwise if he takes a bus... when will he get there...

※※※

Because of the rotation of all players, Lazio was forced to a 1:1 tie by Livorno in the away game.

But Chang Sheng didn't care about this result at all.

Anyway, the league championship has already been won, and he can't care about the results of the last two rounds.

At this time, he is only in charge of the Champions League.

The Champions League results are ranked first, and the others have to stand aside.

It's not just that Chang Sheng doesn't care about this game. Even Lazio fans don't care much about the game against Livorno.

Now everyone only has the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona in their minds.

Apart from this game, none of the other games matter.

You know, when the media touted Barcelona and belittled Lazio before, it wasn't just Chang Sheng who was upset. Also includes these Lazio fans.

They have long wanted to teach Barcelona a lesson.

The first leg made the Lazio fans proud and happy.

But they also know that the semi-finals are two legs. If Lazio can't eliminate Barcelona away. On the contrary, if they are eliminated by Barcelona, ​​then the previous media's praise of Barcelona and depreciation of Lazio will really be realized on them.

So at this time, the semifinals are more important than anything else.

No Lazio fan wants to be ridiculed by the media.

During this period, Chang Sheng paid close attention to the weather every day and the follow-up progress of the Icelandic volcanic eruption.

Icelandic volcano after that eruption. No re-eruption, so at least there is no need to worry about new volcanic ash going south.

But will the volcanic ash that is now hanging over Europe be dispersed by then?

Chang Sheng didn't know either.

Finally, the good news came, the volcanic ash gradually dispersed, and the airspace of European countries was opened. Flights from Italy to Barcelona can finally take off and land normally!

As soon as the news came out, the entire Italian media cheered. It seems that Chang Sheng is not the only one who cares about the volcanic ash.

Indeed, the sudden volcanic ash has plunged the whole of Europe into chaos, which is the most important and most concerned event in Europe today.

Two days after the volcano erupted in Iceland, 17,000 flights were grounded! You must know that there are usually 22,000 flights in Europe every day. The airspace of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries has been completely closed, which naturally has a considerable impact on football matches.

The European war is naturally the first to bear the brunt. Both Barcelona and Lyon can only be called buses to go to away games. Lyon is more than 700 kilometers away from Munich, and Barcelona is more than 1,000 kilometers away from Rome!

In addition to the European war, the domestic leagues of many countries have been affected, especially those countries with large areas...

For example, the unlucky Marseille team, due to the suspension of flights due to volcanic ash and the strike of French railway workers, they had to take a 14-hour bus from the south of France to the away game of Brunn near the Strait of Dover in the north, with a total mileage of 1,000. Thirty-four kilometers.

Fortunately, the exhausted Marseille still won the opponent 2:1 with a penalty kick in stoppage time, and continued to lead the standings with a five-point advantage. Marseille sports manager Aniego took the opportunity to educate the players, "Such a long journey may make the players more sympathetic to our fans, because they often go to watch away games like this."

Lineker, the anchor of BBC "Today's Match", also joked about the volcanic ash before the start of the program that day. He had reason to do so, because the volcanic ash also harmed the football legend. Before the incident, Lineker was on vacation with his girlfriend and children on the island of Tenerife, the southernmost tip of Spain. He had to return to London to do a show. He had no choice but to catch a small plane from Tenerife to Madrid, and then hired The car crossed the border to Bordeaux, France. Then I jumped on the train to Paris, and finally took the "Eurostar" subsea tunnel train to return to London thrillingly, with a total distance of 3,683 kilometers!

Everyone can see the impact of volcanic ash on the game from Barcelona's away game against Inter Milan.

The Italians naturally do not want to repeat the mistakes of Barcelona.

Barcelona's physical energy consumption is so fast, I have to say, it has something to do with the 24-hour long-distance travel.

If Lazio has to take the bus to the away game... then I am afraid they will face the same problems as Barcelona.

Fortunately, the impact of the volcanic ash has finally receded.

Lazio can fly to Barcelona.

In fact, Chang Sheng already knew that after Barcelona played the away game, the volcanic ash dispersed.

But it was what he remembered.

He wasn't sure if things would still develop like this in this time and space.

With the experience of two encounters with Manchester United, Chang Sheng no longer believes his memory. Who knows if God will come up with a new trick?

In fact, he is already prepared, and if it doesn't work, he will let the team take the bus to the away game.

Unexpectedly, God did not oppose him this time.

Could it be that he defeated it twice in a row, making it shrink back in fear?

That's great!

The volcanic ash dissipated is good news for Lazio, but Barcelona gritted their teeth with hatred.

They would have liked Lazio to be the same as Barcelona. They can only take the bus to play away games, which has a great impact on their physical fitness. Barcelona is waiting for work. Let alone 2:0 at home, 5:0 is fine!

As a result, the volcanic ash dissipated in the second round!

When it was Barcelona's turn to play, volcanic ash appeared. And when it was time for Lazio to travel long distances to play away, the ash was gone...

Some Barcelona fans even suspect that Chang Sheng borrowed high-tech weapons that can control the weather from the Chinese side, specifically to deal with Barcelona... How else to explain the volcanic ash that is so beneficial to Lazio?

In order to win or lose a game, even high-tech weapons that can control the weather have been brought out... This has to admire people's imagination. This line of thinking is not so broad...

After Guardiola returned to Barcelona, ​​apart from Cruyff being upset, other Catalan media did not criticize Guardiola, and their acceptance was much higher than Cruyff.

They are only busy with two things: first. Exonerate Guardiola and tell everyone that Barcelona was defeated by Lazio in the away game. It was not a crime of war, but the weather. If we hadn't traveled more than a thousand kilometers because of the volcanic ash, we might not have lost the game in Kechan.

The second thing is to call on Barcelona fans to go to the scene to watch the game.

"We want to completely fill the Nou Camp, which can hold more than 100,900 people! Next Wednesday, let us show our strength to the enemy here! Let us become the best twelfth man in Barcelona! This is In the decisive battle, we must fight back! The team needs your strength!"

In order to enhance the effect, the media changed Chang Sheng's ridicule of them at the post-match press conference and replaced it with "taunting Barcelona" to arouse the fans' hatred.

Chang Sheng's vitriolic words were red and bolded by the Catalan media, highlighting the key points, for fear that the fans would not find the same.

They vowed to let Chang Sheng see the power of Barcelona and the power of the Catalan nation at Camp Nou!

Even the Spanish government has to be more polite to us. Why are you a fucking coach, so arrogant in front of us?

You are asking for your own death! (to be continued...)
