"We are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but we are afraid of teammates who are like pigs. Although I do not admit that they are on our side, I think you will not think so, and neither will most people."
On the TV screen, the video of the post-match press conference between Lazio and Inter Milan was being played.
"As the head coach of Lazio, I am a yellow race, and the fans are extremely racist and discriminate against me. Here I want to say to them: **Your mother!"
The video ends here.
The scene cut back to the studio, where the host and guests were sitting on the sofa, and the big screen behind them showed the moment when Chang Sheng cursed.
"At the post-match press conference earlier today, Chang officially declared war on the extreme Lazio fans...I have to say, I admire his courage, but I don't think he can succeed," the host said.
The guest next to him nodded: "Lazio's extreme fans have existed for a long time. It can even be said that the extreme fans are inseparable from the ordinary Lazio fans. It is difficult to tell who is the extreme fan and who is the ordinary fan. This is Lazio's stubborn problem.
, the media criticized them many times, but failed to solve this problem. So I don’t think Chang’s words can make the extreme fans admit defeat..."
This TV station's program is just a microcosm of today's media focus.
Lazio's away victory against Inter Milan is not a focus, because everyone has long been accustomed to it.
The focus is on the racial discrimination of Lazio's extreme fans and the foul language after the winning matches.
All media, whether print media, TV stations, radios, or the Internet, are discussing this matter.
Of course they support declaring war on racial discrimination - this is a matter of principle of great right and wrong. Even if you think in your heart that black people are niggas and yellow people are yellow-skinned monkeys, you cannot really say so in public. You have to show that you are against racial discrimination.
But at the same time, they also know very well that it is absolutely impossible to win.
Because if condemnation was useful, Lazio would have solved this problem long ago, and there would be no racial discrimination in Italy.
Some racial discrimination is explicit, such as slogans on the court, while some discrimination is invisible discrimination buried deep in the heart.
This involves all aspects of society, politics, economy and culture, and it is not enough to simply denounce it.
Therefore, they believe that Chang Sheng's actions may just be a gesture to remove the Lazio club from the extreme racial discrimination of fans. In this way, if the Italian Football Association wants to punish it, it will probably be lighter...
Didn’t you see that Lotito also said in an interview after the game that he deeply abhors this kind of racial discrimination?
The head coach and president have expressed this attitude, which illustrates the attitude of Lazio Club.
So they actually still want to get over this matter. As for whether they really want to eradicate racial discrimination... As long as it doesn't offend them, what does it have to do with them?
※※※
The team had a day off as usual the next day. On this day, the Italian Football Association was also meeting to study how to deal with the incident between Lazio fans chanting racially motivated slogans during the match between Lazio and Inter Milan.
On the same day, Chang Sheng and Lotito had an interview in the study room of Lotito's home.
"The media thinks that our statement is to avoid heavy punishment. I don't know what you think, Mr. Chairman, but I am not."
Lotito nodded.
In fact, he really said this because he wanted to escape a heavy punishment.
The problem of racial discrimination cannot be solved by FIFA, which spends so much money and exerts so much effort every year. He does not believe that a club alone can do anything about it.
"I want to clean up these bastards, but I need your support, Mr. Chairman."
Lotito must be in favor of cleaning up those bastards of extreme fans, because those extreme fans scolded him a lot. In every game, these extreme fans would hold up signs to insult him, and at an agreed time, they would suddenly get high
He humiliated Lotito by chanting slogans like "Lotito is a street sweeper".
Lotito made his fortune by running a cleaning company, and he used to be responsible for the cleaning work of the Rome municipal government.
Compared with the rich second generation of the oil family, the Italian media tycoons, and the wealthy families who control the lifeline of the Italian economy, Lotito, who made his fortune from scratch, is indeed weak...
"I have no problem, I support you, Chang!"
Lotito expressed his stance.
Chang Sheng continued: "First of all, our club needs to cooperate with the Milan police. We need to know how many extreme fans came to watch the game in this game, and then match their roster..."
Generally speaking, extreme fans are registered with the police, and the police have all their names, ages, occupations, and addresses.
It's okay when you're not committing any crime, the police won't look for you, and you can watch football normally.
Once you get involved in a fight between fans, you will be called to drink coffee. In serious cases, you may be banned from watching the game.
This is the case with the English police. Those notorious football hooligans are not allowed to go to watch the game. They don't even need to appear within a few kilometers of the football stadium. If they want to go abroad to watch the game, they can't even get through customs.
Italy is also a place with a high incidence of football hooligan crimes, so it has also established such a blacklist system.
As long as you ask the Milan police to call up the cameras of the Meazza Stadium, you can see the appearance of these people, and then compare them with the people on the blacklist to know the identities of these people.
Although it is a bit more troublesome, it is not impossible.
Chang Sheng couldn't do this, but Lotito was a celebrity with some impressions and connections.
So he can only do it.
But this is not the point. The point is what Chang Sheng said next.
"After we know the identities of these fans, we can deny them admission to watch Lazio's home games! And restrict them from going to away games!"
Lotito stared blankly at Chang Sheng with his mouth wide open.
He was surprised not because this method was so whimsical, but actually it was quite normal.
He was surprised that Chang Sheng was really determined to fight to the death with the extreme fans...
This approach is very offensive...
Only then did he understand why Chang Sheng came to find him.
Cooperation with the Milan police is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that two people must work together and move in unison. He is here to seek his support and check his attitude at the same time...
After all, the chairman is the biggest in the club. If the chairman can't stand it, it will be useless for Chang Sheng, the head coach, to dance for joy.
Therefore Chang Sheng must get his own support.
Lotito suddenly had an idea. What would happen if he didn't support it?
This thought only flashed through his mind.
Because he immediately thought of the result.
With his ever-victorious temper, if he didn't support him, he would definitely run away.
As a famous marshal, he doesn't have to worry about where to go and can build his immortal achievements wherever he goes. But what about himself?
Lazio will suddenly fall from a quasi-rich club to an ordinary team.
The most important thing is that his new stadium plan will lose the support of the team's performance and will become unconvincing...
Lotito would definitely not do such a thing.
So he knew he had no choice and must fully support Chang Sheng!
"Don't worry, Chang. I'm definitely on your side in this matter. Those extreme fans scold me every day, and I've long wanted to deal with them!"
※※※
In this way, Lazio Club announced on the same day that they would cooperate with the Milan police to establish a blacklist system within Lazio Club. The first batch of people to be blacklisted were the extreme fans who caused trouble in the game against Inter Milan yesterday.
These extreme fans will be banned from the Lazio club.
They are not allowed to enter Lazio's home stadium, the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, to watch Lazio's games within a year, and they are not allowed to go with the team to watch away games.
The ban can be lifted after one year, but if you commit it a second time, you will be banned for life!
As soon as such news came out, it caused a sensation in Italian football!
When everyone was saying that Chang Sheng and Lotito's statements were only for the Italian Football Association, hoping to influence the Italian Football Association and impose a lighter penalty, Lazio club officials suddenly made such a heavy blow!
What does this mean?
Are they continuing to express their attitude to the Football Association, or are they serious about it this time?
Ban one's own fans...Aren't you afraid of causing public outrage by doing so?
※※※
Just when everyone was speculating, the Italian Football Association's punishment was also announced.
In response to the controversy caused by Lazio fans chanting racist slogans in the away game, the Italian Football Association determined that the Lazio club was guilty of poor education, and because Lazio fans were incorrigible and had multiple criminal records, they decided to fine the club 300,000 euros and also fined the club 300,000 euros.
Lazio club has decided to ban three home games!
Not to mention the fine, but a three-home game ban, which is definitely a severe punishment!
The so-called home game ban does not mean that the team's home game qualifications are cancelled, but that when the team has a home game, fans of the home team will not be allowed to enter to watch the game, but only fans of the visiting team will be allowed in to watch the game.
As a result, there will be zero fans for the home team and the atmosphere will be deserted, which will affect the performance of the big teams.
This has happened before. On September 15, 2004, in the Champions League group match, Roma played against Dynamo Kiev at home. The referee of the game at that time was European whistler Frisk - the same one who was kicked off by Murry.
Neo scares the man who retired - because of a controversial penalty, he was blocked outside the lounge by angry Roma fans during halftime, and then a fan hit him on the head with a lighter, causing him to
It was a bloody scene. He was immediately sent to the hospital, and the game was interrupted for forty minutes. Forty minutes later, UEFA confirmed that Frisk could not continue to officiate the game and announced that the game was postponed.
Subsequently, UEFA imposed a home match ban on Roma. As long as Roma played at home in the Champions League group matches, there were no fans. In the deserted stadium, you could even hear the head coach yelling clearly on the sidelines.
So this kind of punishment is the most serious punishment for a club after relegation points...

PS, I'm lagging behind...
But the difference is not big, we are still in a stalemate.
I will continue to work hard!
