Chapter 40 Football Connects Us

By the way, I forgot to mention that in the psychological files that Fontana established for Lazio players, their second captain Jose Passarella seems to have the best psychological condition...

While Fontana was building a mental profile for the team, Lazio also played a league game and a Champions League game.

In the fifth round of the league, Lazio defeated Torino 3:1 away.

Although Cavani failed to score in three consecutive rounds, he had an assist and his performance was remarkable.

The Italian media can no longer find any voices criticizing Cavani for not being worthy of this Lazio No. 9 jersey.

During the game, Lazio fans will no longer chant "tiger" to stimulate Cavani.

Everyone has seen Cavani's efforts.

For such a player who worked hard and scored goals, they really have no reason to black out.

In the Champions League next week, Lazio defeated PSV Eindhoven 3:1 at home. Achieved two consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage of the new season.

With six points in hand, their group qualifying situation is good.

At the same time, Atletico Madrid also defeated Marseille 2:1 at home.

Judging from the first two rounds of group matches, the final teams in this group should be Lazio and Atletico Madrid.

Then the most interesting thing is naturally the confrontation between Lazio and Atletico Madrid.

The first confrontation between the two teams will have to wait until October 22, when Atletico Madrid will face Lazio at home.

That will be Changsheng's return to Atletico Madrid's home Calderon after a lapse of four years.

Attention to this game has already begun from now on.

※※※

In the sixth round of the league, Lazio beat Lecce 1-0 at home.

The ever-victorious team created the best start to the league since the club was established 108 years ago, surpassing the start of last season with five wins and one draw, and now it has six consecutive victories!

"Corriere dello Sport" then wrote an article saying: "This kind of Lazio looks like it has gone through a summer sale and its strength has declined? Six consecutive victories after the start of the new season! If you count the last two rounds of the league last season. ,

The victorious Lazio has won eight consecutive victories in the league! This has tied their eight-game winning streak in the league created in the 2006-2007 season! "

During this period of time, there were fewer critical articles about Lazio in Gazzetta dello Sport.

Pacheco rarely talks about Lazio in his column.

Because Lazio really has nothing to blacken.

At the beginning of the league, he could also use Cavani's poor state to criticize Changsheng for selling Falcao.

As a result, Cavani suddenly broke out now. Scored a key goal in the game against A Milan, also scored in the game against Fiorentina, and scored in the game against Turin... Such an outstanding performance, if you still say that his performance is not good, I am afraid of those feelings Readers whose IQ has been fooled will definitely demolish the newspaper building of Gazzetta dello Sport in anger...

So no matter how much Pacheco gritted his teeth and was unwilling. Can only be silent.

But his sinister eyes will always be fixed on Lazio's body. Waiting for Lazio's next mistake.

He did not believe that Chang Sheng would not make mistakes.

As long as you are human, you can make mistakes!

Even computers have bugs!

After six rounds of the league. It's national team match day again.

After a week of national team competition, it is the seventh round of the league.

Because in the middle of next week it will be an away game against Atletico Madrid, in a victorious and cautious style, in this league away game against Bologna. Lazio did not try their best.

Lazio, with a full bench lineup, drew 1:1 with Bologna away.

Lazio finally did not break their own eight-game winning streak.

But Chang Sheng didn't care at all.

As soon as the match against Bologna was over, Chang Sheng's thoughts flew to Madrid, Spain, at the Calderon Stadium.

He really longed to hear the boos of the Atlético fans, and missed it for a long time.

※※※

Back from Bologna, after a day of corrections, Lazio set off for Madrid.

They will train at Getafe Madrid's training base for two days before going straight to Calderon from the hotel.

This is also because Getafe is a satellite club of Lazio. The thing about borrowing the training ground is very convenient.

This saves the players the hard work of traveling and traveling.

The Getafe club also welcomes the return of Changsheng.

It is estimated that a large number of Getafe fans will go to the training ground to watch Lazio's training.

It can also stimulate Getafe's football market and increase the enthusiasm of fans.

In Getafe, Chang Sheng and his team were indeed warmly welcomed by the Getafe fans.

There were even Getafe fans playing "beating Atletico Madrid is tradition!"

It caused many Atletico Madrid fans to scold Getafe fans on the Internet as a group of traitors.

Because of the good relationship between the two clubs, Lazio received meticulous care here.

Every day when Lazio trains. There will be many Getafe fans cheering for Lazio outside the training ground.

This makes many Lazio players think they are back in Formello...

On the second night in Lazio Odida Getafe, Chang Sheng returned to the apartment he had rented.

He wanted to see his old neighbors again.

He saw Aunt Maria, Javier Carmona, and Daniel wearing glasses.

But he didn't see Raymond the porter.

"He was not in good health, so he resigned and went home." Aunt Maria took out a bottle of wine.

"He asked me to leave this to you. He said that if you go back to Getafe, I will hand it over to you. He is reluctant to send it to you, because he is afraid that it will be broken on the way."

Chang Sheng took the bottle, and he found a card stuck to the back of the bottle.

Tear it off and open it.

It was in Lemon's handwriting.

"I promise, Chang, this is definitely the best bottle of sherry in my collection! There is no one! Now I leave it to you, a good wine with a hero, please put it away. It is almost ripe, drink it quickly."

Signed by Lemon.

Lemon is gone. Looks like it won't be coming back.

In this apartment, the neighbors who lived together at the beginning also left a lot, and now only these three families are left.

It's only been nine years...

What will happen in another ten years?

Maybe I don't have to come back to this apartment in the future, right?

Some things in life fade over time, but like these neighbors. But there is something. And will never be forgotten. Just like their memories together.

He stroked the wine bottle, feeling cold to the touch.

"Tomorrow night's game. We've all bought the tickets, and we'll go to Calderon to cheer you on, Chang!" Aunt Maria didn't know what Chang Sheng was thinking, she was excitedly talking about everyone's plans .

Carmona and Daniel next to each other nodded.

"Can you buy tickets for fans of the visiting team?" Chang Sheng wondered. Tickets for away team fans in UEFA Champions League matches are reserved exclusively for away team fans. Tickets for fans of the home team are sold publicly.

"No, we bought fans tickets for the home team." Aunt Maria said.

Chang Sheng frowned.

That means they will be sitting with a group of Atlético Madrid fans.

Aunt Maria saw what Chang Sheng was worried about, and she patted Chang Sheng's shoulder vigorously: "Don't worry, we will pay attention! We are only going to cheer you up, not to fight!"

Chang Sheng rolled his eyes, Aunt Maria's words sounded like the head of a gangster...

"And I believe that Lemon will also watch this game in front of the TV, often. Although everyone is not together. But every time I watch the game, I feel that in another place, there is someone doing the same thing as you , it's an amazing feeling... You cheer for the team's wins. He cheers. You cry for the team's losses, and he cries too... Anyway, football keeps us together."

Chang Sheng smiled: "Yes, you are right, Aunt Maria. Football brings us together."

Before the game against Atletico Madrid, there was a lot of news about Changsheng. The media in Madrid used the hype of Changsheng's grievances with Atletico Madrid as a welcome.

From Chang Sheng being rejected by Atletico Madrid to Chang Sheng's perfect revenge, everything that was not left behind was shaken out.

Of course, Atletico Madrid did not end up very well in these cleanups. It is completely a poor loser image that sets off the protagonist of Changsheng.

This kind of public opinion orientation made Atletico Madrid's club chairman Xiao Hill very angry.

"I know those things, the media seems to want to portray my father as a poor clown! My father has been dead for many years, he should not be treated like this! And the real clown is the Chinese! I don't Think my father did something wrong!"

He was really angry and made consecutive speeches attacking the media and Chang Sheng.

"When someone unknown came to offer him to be the coach of Atlético Madrid, I thought it was normal to not agree with him out of caution. I don't understand why there is always such a dissatisfaction. And blamed on my father— — To be honest, my father was always ignorant of this matter, knowing that the Chinese suddenly became the head coach of Getafe and faced us in the league..."

"The media are always so despicable and shameless! I know their routine very well... They are used to licking the toes of the strong. Recently, Chang has achieved some results and has become more famous, so the media are rushing to lick Chang's toes. This It's disgusting!"

"I am so proud of my father, in my mind he is the greatest president in the history of Atlético de Madrid! I am outraged by what the media said, that he was treated so unfairly after so long after his death! It's insane!"

He constantly attacked the media, which was also mixed with dissatisfaction with Chang Sheng.

In fact, Chang Sheng didn't even say a word...

"Why is Little Hill so hysterical?" Assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez, who is familiar with Spanish football, was also surprised by Little Hill's performance.

Judging from his usual performance, Little Hill doesn't seem like such a person... He occasionally talks about his father and the grievances between his father and Chang Sheng, but his attitude is quite peaceful.

Why is little Hill so angry this time?

Chang Sheng shrugged: "Simple, because his team needs to beat us at home, so he naturally wants to do everything possible to improve the team's strength. But the strength cannot be improved in a short time, so it can only improve morale And fighting spirit. Hill is altruistically improving the morale and fighting spirit of the team-for the old chairman, what a good reason! Unfortunately, I will not let him get what he wants." (To be continued)
