Chapter 141 Needed and Loved

When Inter Milan was eliminated, they returned to Milan, Italy, and they were greeted by protests from Inter Milan fans and scolding from the media.

The media ridiculed them for losing and losing.

The fans scolded Ibrahimovic for taking a high salary for not doing business, and not scoring a single goal in the Champions League for a season.

Some people ridiculed that they couldn't even win a fight and deserved to be eliminated.

And they were also eliminated. When Lazio returned to Rome, the fans who came to greet them at the airport gave them applause.

There are also Lazio fans holding up slogans and banners such as "I am proud of you!" "You have won the respect of the world!" "Let us come again next year!" to cheer for the team.

The Italian media also said they would stay in Germany this time. There is no criticism and blame for Lazio.

Because Lazio's performance is really good, there is nothing to blacken.

For such a young team, being able to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League is remarkable in itself. In the case of being beaten 2:2 by Bayern Munich in the first round, it is already amazing to be able to return Bayern Munich 2:2 in the away game.

In the penalty shootout, the young and inexperienced Lazio has been playing five rounds with Bayern Munich. You must know that the Germans have always been known for their mental toughness.

As a result, Lazio pushed them to the last step. If the turf was not too slippery, it would be hard to say who would make it to the semi-finals.

At that time, the atmosphere at the Allianz Arena was so depressing that it was hard to believe that this was Bayern Munich's home court.

It stands to reason that when the opposing team's players are about to take penalty kicks, the home team fans will try their best to make noise and boo them in order to influence their performance.

But yesterday's game, the Bayern Munich fans didn't do that.

I don't know if I forgot it because I was too nervous, or out of respect for Lazio.

After the game, "Corriere dello Sport" also rarely praised Lazio's performance.

Even the specifications are quite high.

On the front page, "Corriere dello Sport" published a photo of Chang Sheng supporting Jose Passarella as he walked among the celebrating Bayern Munich players.

It was captioned: "It was an honorable defeat.

"

This is very high treatment.

In the past, when Chang Sheng lost, the entire Italian media wished that Chang Sheng and his Lazio would die.

But this time, Lazio won everyone's respect with their practical actions.

Usually black is black. That was all civil war. In the Champions League, Lazio is the team that represents the image of Italian football, so everyone is very polite.

The performance of the Italian team in the Champions League is directly related to the quota of the Italian team in the Champions League each season. Whether it is four or three, this is very important.

Great performance from Lazio. In fact, it is also for the benefit of other Italian teams.

Praise in the media will please many people.

But in fact, Chang Sheng's heart was not happy at all.

Although he hasn't read what the media said. But even if he saw it, it was the same.

No matter how beautiful the outside world says, what a "glorious failure", failure is failure.

if it is possible. He would rather be a mean victor.

But unfortunately...

The most important thing now is not to be complacent about this "honorable defeat".

It was Jose Passarella's injury.

In fact, Chang Sheng did not wait until the next day to return to Rome with the team. So there is no Chang Sheng in the bus that is popular with fans. Of course there is no Jose Passarella.

Chang Sheng and Jose Passarella rushed back to Rome in a private jet called Lotito on the night of the game, and were sent to the hospital overnight.

Jose Passarella's ankle will undergo further examination and treatment here.

But looking at his swollen ankle, even if Chang Sheng wasn't a doctor, he still felt that Jose Passarella was seriously injured.

It is now April 12th. It's mid-April.

Judging by Jose Passarella's appearance, Chang Sheng has already made preparations that he will miss all the remaining games of this season.

Although it will be difficult for the team's next game, he will not take the risk of letting Jose Passarella play again.

In fact, the turf was too slippery at the time, but Jose Passarella would not have been injured like this. It's just a sprained ankle. The players' ankles are protected by very strong ligaments.

So Jose Passarella's ankle can be swollen like this, it should be a problem with the ligament.

When Jose Passarella found himself slipping, he forced himself to maintain his balance, which put more pressure on his ankle.

If he is not trying to maintain his body balance. If he could fall to the ground directly, it would be nothing more than a fall.

There are many players who slipped under their feet when kicking a penalty kick, and few people have been injured as severely as Jose Passare.

But if you fall to the ground, you won't be able to kick the ball well.

Jose Passarella insisted on not falling because he didn't want to kick the football away. He wants to kick the football into the goal. Even if his feet slipped, he insisted on scoring goals. He knows what this penalty means.

It's a pity that God made a joke with him, and he didn't fall to the ground. But also without kicking the football into the goal.

At that moment, it was really beyond his control.

That's why he suffered so much afterwards.

He did his best. Maintaining balance, trying to kick the football into the risk of ankle injury, but it backfired.

Now that the team has been eliminated, he has also suffered a serious injury.

From yesterday to today, his feet can't even touch the ground, and it hurts when he touches the ground.

Now he lies in a hospital bed with his injured left foot pulled up and put in a protective cast.

The hospital has checked and treated him.

The good news is that Passarella's ligaments did not rupture, so no surgery is needed, just rest.

The bad news is that if you want Jose Passarella to recover more thoroughly, you'd better rest for a while. It was originally said to be three months, but now it is estimated that we will have to admire until the start of the new season. Jose Passarella probably won't be able to keep up with the pre-season training...

In this case, it will have a certain impact on his performance in the new season and the team's preparations for the new season.

Jose Passarella has recovered from the defeat.

He was not sad about the injury.

In the face of injuries, he was much stronger than in the face of failure.

He was lying in the hospital, next to his teammates who had heard the news, and he greeted his teammates with a smile on his face.

Can't see it at all just last night. In front of all the audience during the live TV broadcast, he cried like a child who hasn't grown up.

"I won't be able to play in the next league, so I can only ask you, don't let the championship become someone else's..."

When the teammates were visiting Passarella in the ward. Chang Sheng did not stay in the ward. Although he spent the night in the ward yesterday.

Jose Passarella's parents in Spain would not be able to catch up until today, so he had himself by his side at that time.

As for a creature like a girlfriend, Jose Passarella has never had one.

He is a bit like Chang Sheng, and he is also a football nerd.

The most important thing in life is football. He couldn't find anything else.

All his thoughts are on football. He even sleeps with the football, as if he feels safe that way.

When his teammates went out to pick up girls and have fun, he chose to stay with football. He studied the game videos of his opponents. After coming to Lazio, he watched all the game videos of the forwards of all Serie A teams. Now he's watching it a second time.

He said it himself. The first time is just to get a general understanding of the opponent, and the second time is to really start to study the opponent.

Chang Sheng was surprised by this research effort.

He felt that after Jose Passarella retired, he might be able to develop in the direction of the head coach.

The teammates came directly to the hospital from the airport, and many fans also followed.

There were a lot of people outside the hospital, and it seemed a bit noisy.

Chang Sheng got into the team bus, he needed to sleep.

He and Jose Passarella didn't have much time together that night, and the two chatted a lot.

Talk about football, talk about their years at Getafe, and talk about their ideals. Of course, it was also comforting Jose Passarella, distracting him, and not letting him think too much about failure and injury.

Now Jose Passarella seems to have no problem, it is the result of Chang Sheng not sleeping all night.

Chang Sheng, who was asleep in the bus, was awakened by the repeated ringing of the phone.

He thought it was Jose Passarella's parents, and hurriedly answered the phone.

But it was Avril Lavigne calling.

Avril Lavigne went to the United States two months ago. Since her third album is about to be officially released, she also needs to start working.

"I watched that game, Uncle."

Even if she is married, Avril still calls Chang Sheng uncle.

"I'm so proud of you. The media is full of praise for you and your team. Uncle."

Chang Sheng's drowsiness dissipated, and he moved his numb arms. While saying to Avril Lavigne: "Oh, really? What did the media say?"

Chang Sheng really didn't know what the media said about this game.

After returning to Rome from Munich, he has not been free. Finally, when he has free time, he just seizes the time to sleep.

So I don't know how the media reported him.

But he guessed that he lost the game, and there must be cynicism in the media.

Just like before.

But what Avril Lavigne said surprised him a little.

"Corriere dello Sport say it was an 'honorable defeat'."

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment: "Are you sure they aren't mocking me?"

"Of course not, uncle. The whole of Italy and even the European media are praising your team's performance. Before the game, no one thought that you would be able to score Bayern Munich 2:2 away."

Chang Sheng laughed: "Didn't I be eliminated in the end? And I also injured a captain."

"But I know you can't be defeated. I can't defeat you even if I laugh at you coldly. Of course, I can't defeat you if I fail. Isn't that right, uncle?"

Chang Sheng laughed out loud this time: "I love to hear that! Your uncle is an invincible superman in the universe!"

Avril on the other end of the phone smiled coquettishly, and then said: "I have another gift for you, uncle. My third album will be released in late April. I still remember that year at the Christmas dinner in Lazio when I sang to Did you listen to the song "end"? This is the title of the new album, it's for you, uncle! I love you, uncle!"

Chang Sheng, who hung up the phone, weighed the heavy mobile phone.

He comforted Passarella one night, and then he was comforted by his own wife.

Although he actually doesn't want others to comfort him, his heart is still warm.

It's a good day to be needed and loved...
