Chapter 419 Greatness Does Not Copy History, but only Creates History! (Eighty-Six/One Hundred Thirty-Four)
After the league ends, Lazio's unprecedented record will be a topic of discussion throughout the European football world for the next week. M
Until the Champions League final comes.
After all, when a team wins 38 league games in a season, scores 129 goals, concedes only 9 goals, wins 120 goals, and accumulates 114 points... With such results, it will definitely become the focus of today's world football.
Such a team has never appeared in the past!
Italian media have long called Lazio a "phenomenon" in football.
Major European news agencies and media are reporting on Lazio's record.
Chinese media have also introduced Lazio in a series of articles.
Of course, the key figure is Changsheng.
In addition, media from other countries and regions have also reported on Lazio's record of 129 goals in a prominent position.
At the same time, a Roman artist announced that he was working on creating a statue to commemorate this historical moment.
A pop singer quickly posted a demo of his song for Lazio's great record on Twitter, which was very popular.
In addition, a film production company expressed their interest in cooperating with Lazio to shoot a film reflecting this great record.
However, whether it is a feature film or a documentary, no one knows yet.
The main sponsors of Lazio also acted quickly and made new promotional advertisements for this achievement.
For example, Nike, the new sponsor of Lazio jerseys, launched a new print advertisement the next day, which was first released in Rome, Italy.
The poster is a sky blue Lazio jersey with the number 129 printed on the back.
Next to the jersey is the copywriting: Greatness does not copy history, but only creates history! Nike, live your greatness.
Obviously. This is aimed at Lazio's record of 129 goals.
You know, when Lazio was challenging this record, many people thought it would be great if Lazio could tie the record.
Unexpectedly, Lazio didn't want to share this record with Aston Villa at all.
They gritted their teeth and insisted on creating a record that was completely their own.
That persistence was touching.
It also gave inspiration to the advertising company and Nike.
So there is such a fitting poster.
As the promotional copy says, Lazio disdains to copy history, they are a team that wants to create history!
This is another successful brand promotion by Nike.
It is also a great promotion for Lazio's image promotion.
After the jersey sponsorship contract between Puma and Lazio expired this season, Lazio decisively kicked out Puma, which has low brand value, and chose Nike, a high-end, atmospheric and upscale international first-line brand.
And this advertising marketing is a good proof of the correctness of Lazio's choice of Nike.
Another thing that proves the correctness of Lazio's choice of Nike is the ten-year contract signed by the two parties with a total value of 500 million euros...
In addition to Nike's promotion, some other sponsors have also launched advertisements in a very short time. Borrowing the opportunity of Lazio's record-breaking to promote their own brands. Of course, they are also helping Lazio promote.
This is a win-win situation.
For a time, Lazio's influence rose sharply.
Lotito's face was almost broken by laughter during this period.

After this game, the Italian media also seemed confident that Lazio would win the Champions League.
"Lazio is in incredible form! Such performance is enough for them to win the Champions League! Lazio used a hearty 11:0 victory and a powerful offensive force of 129 goals in a single season to show off to Barcelona!"
"Facing Lazio in such a state. The wisest thing for Barcelona to do is to announce that they will give up the game!"
"I think Barcelona should study Lazio's game carefully, so that maybe they won't struggle in vain in the final..."
"Lazio is the most powerful team in today's football world. No one can match it, not even Barcelona!"
"So It may be offensive to say this, but I still want to say that Lazio will definitely win! "
"Who can score 129 goals in a season? Who can win all seasons? Whether it is the league or the cup... Only Lazio! Lazio has won all league games and all Italian Cup games. It has also won all Champions League games so far! If such a team will eventually lose the Champions League final... That is absolutely impossible!"
"There is one thing in this world that will never happen by accident, and that is Lazio winning the Champions League."
...
The Italian media announced that Lazio would win the championship so ostentatiously, which would naturally make the Catalan media uncomfortable.
In their minds, Barcelona is also a favorite to win the championship. They feel that the strength of both sides is on par, and neither side can completely suppress the other.
The Italian media is so sure that Lazio will win the championship, which is too much of a disregard for Barcelona, right?
So when the whole of Europe was surprised and impressed by Lazio's performance this season, only the Catalan media expressed disdain for it.
"What is there to brag about Lazio's achievements? Their special status in Serie A is no longer news. When facing them, opponents have already surrendered before the game even started. Such games have happened more than once or twice. What is the value of such results?"
"The Champions League champion is not determined by who scores more goals in the league. It is a competition of a game. The strength of both sides can be used as a reference, but it does not play a decisive role... It depends more on on-the-spot performance and luck... I think it is disrespectful to the opponent to announce the victory in a high-profile manner before the game!"
"The performance of the Italian media can only prove that Lazio is a nouveau riche team. After a little achievement, they start to forget themselves... Keep being arrogant! When it comes to the final, Barcelona will surprise them!"
"Although facing Mourinho's pressure this season, Guardiola still led the team to win the league championship. The 5-0 victory over Real Madrid at Camp Nou is a classic! We have reason to believe that they can also perform well at Wembley Stadium and beat Lazio!"
...
The Catalan media has a grudge against Changsheng. Naturally, they tried every means to belittle Changsheng.
However, Changsheng did not respond to their denigration, and he did not participate in this war of words.
Before the Champions League final with Barcelona, he and his team entered the closed training phase again.
For a whole week, there were five days in closed training.
It was not until two days before the game that the closed training ended, and then the whole team set off to London.
Prepare for the Champions League final there.
During the days of closed training, the entire Lazio team did not accept a single interview, and no reporter was allowed to enter the training base. From coaches to players, everyone ate and lived in the training base during these five days, and no one was allowed to leave.
In Europe, which emphasizes indulgence and human liberation, Changsheng's strict closed training is rare.
Many teams care about the "wives group", in Changsheng's eyes. Those women have no value at all.
He firmly believes that his high-intensity training makes the players exhausted every day, and there is no way they have extra energy to think about women.
※ ※ ※
On the last day of closed training, Changsheng finally gave everyone a night off.
They can go home to reunite with their families, spend a wonderful night, and return to the training base early the next morning, then gather and take a plane.
"I want to remind you. Guys. Don't play too crazy tonight. If you sprain your waist because of crazy sex with your wife and girlfriend in bed, you can't play in the Champions League final, and you can only blame yourself!"
Chang Sheng hasn't finished speaking. Everyone burst into laughter.
Chang Sheng said with a straight face: "Don't laugh, I'm not kidding. You know, none of you know who will start now, right?"
Everyone finally stopped laughing.
Chang Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "Enjoy the last peace before the battle. Recharge your energy in your warm home. Then hit the road again. To accomplish another thing that no one has ever done before-defending the Champions League champion after the reform!"
Chang Sheng waved his hand. The team was disbanded.
Today he also has to return home to reunite with his family.
These five days of closed training. Not only the players, he himself has not returned home for a day.
He eats and lives in the training base with his players.
In fact, he also misses his son a little.
※ ※ ※
When he returned home, the nanny had already prepared the meal and the whole family was waiting for him.
The first thing he did when he entered the door was to pick up his son Chang Wei who rushed over, then patted the head of little Jiming, and finally kissed his wife Avril who came over.
It was like completing a ritual of returning home.
This is the feeling Chang Sheng likes.
A warm home.
Although he made a lot of money and he was a star.
But he still had the habit of a otaku in his bones.
He didn't like to go to places with bright lights and wine, he didn't like to frequently go in and out of public places to show up, and he didn't like to appear on TV shows frequently.
Although his life was always disturbed by reporters, he would still go home on time after training and would not go anywhere else to have fun.
He was no different from an older middle-aged man.
This would not change because his wife was a star and he was rich.
This was also the kind of life he hoped to live in his previous life.
Although he was very rich, he was very calm in his heart.
His family is his safe haven and the driving force for his hard work.
He attaches great importance to the power of family.
In the team, he will also warn those young players, hoping that they will get married earlier.
Because a man can only become mature after he gets married.
His performance on the court will also become stable.
Changsheng looks down on the "wives group" and thinks it is a show.
However, he does not deny the importance of family, but the "wives group" is not equal to family.
In his opinion, having a wife and children is considered a family.
Home is not as glamorous as the wives group, but it is more important.
Before the game with Barcelona, he chose to let the players go home to spend the night, hoping that the players would draw strength from their families and then release it in the game with Barcelona!
