Chapter 170 Fighting alone (Thanks to the new leader Mingyang Tianshui!)
When the players came back from warm-up, Chang Sheng was keenly aware of the change in the players' mentality.
And he knows why these players have changed as they have.
Because he didn't need to go out, he could feel the atmosphere outside.
Deserted.
In previous home games at Lazio, he had to close the locker room door so that he could hear each other clearly inside.
Now, he opened the door to the locker room, but the locker room still seemed very quiet.
No fans, none.
Lazio's players are like ships sailing in the dark night, unable to find a lighthouse or reach the shore.
When every game is sold out, players may not particularly care about the presence of these fans.
But when there were no fans, Lazio players immediately felt uncomfortable.
Football is a sport that cannot be separated from fans...
Without fans, football would almost die.
Although the locker room was not noisy at all, Chang Sheng still habitually clapped his hands before speaking to draw everyone's attention to him.
"Is it okay to be uncomfortable?" he asked with a smile.
Although Changsheng's smile has many meanings, at this time, there is no ambiguity and everyone sees encouragement from it.
Yes, the boss is encouraging them.
This gave many players a little peace of mind.
"It's an experience, guys. We don't have a single fan and the other side has over 2,000 fans. It's a rare experience and after three home games, I guarantee you'll be looking forward to playing in a packed stadium.
But now it is a pity that we have been deprived of such an opportunity because of the behavior of some extreme fans. We want them to wipe their butts. This is very unfair. They smear us, why should we wipe their butts? Because this
You're not wiping their butts. Remember, guys, you win for yourself and for those you think are worth winning for!"
"Our fans, the ones who really support us, are locked out because of a handful of idiots and they can't support us, so should we give up? I've already taken it and seen someone say it, saying this
Lazio will probably not win in three games, why? Because we have no one to support us!"
"Yeah, we don't have fans right now. It's our own battle, guys. We've always had fans behind us before, but this time, we have to fight alone. There's no shame in that and there's nothing to struggle with. Because really
A pure man, he is the one who can win when faced with any difficulties!"
"So, go win!"
※※※
When the game started, Lazio's players were still a little uncomfortable.
The more than 2,000 fans in Livorno are really rude, and they regard this as their main product.
When the Lazio players got the ball, they booed loudly. And when it was their turn to get the ball, there was a burst of cheers.
Of course, two thousand people is still insignificant compared to a stadium that can accommodate 72,000 people.
So the overall atmosphere is very deserted.
Lazio's players are still a little uncomfortable with it.
For the first time, they heard the boss' roar from the sidelines very clearly.
"Focus, damn it!"
"Run forward and go up to meet him!"
"Hernanes, don't hesitate when it's time to shoot!"
"Well done, David! Just kick like that!"
※※※
In fact, I didn't talk so much when directing the game before Chang Sheng.
He was completely forced.
The stadium was really deserted during this game, with no one cheering for the team at all.
So he had no choice but to go into battle shirtless.
Finally, with his roar, the players' performance gradually returned to normal.
When the players return to normal, the gap in strength is reflected.
In the face of the absolute strength gap, the advantage of Livorno's two thousand fans could not be reflected at all.
In the 31st minute, Cavani suddenly shot from outside the penalty area and opened the scoring for Lazio.
"Cavani!!"
In the deserted stadium, the commentator's voice stood out.
More than two thousand Livorno fans booed wildly when they saw Cavani's goal.
They seem to really think this is their home court...
As a result, Lazio scored another goal five minutes later.
The person who scored the goal this time was Gotze.
At thirty-five minutes, Lazio took a two-goal lead.
Livorno head coach Cosmi knows how strong Lazio is with a two-goal lead.
So when she saw this scene, Cosmi lowered the brim of her hat, covering most of her face.
This means he knows he has no chance.
This is definitely not giving up.
But when facing such a powerful enemy, you can't win even if you try your best, so why bother fighting?
Livorno is not a team that wants to compete for the championship. If they want to avoid relegation, there is no need to start working hard now.
The league is a long process and requires a strategic breakout.
We must wait until the final sprint stage of the league before we try our best.
If you have the strength to deal with opponents at the same level as Livorno, what's the use of winning against a team like Lazio? Win a game, and then your team will be full of injured soldiers, which will be a heavy price.
.Will the next league be played again?
Win one league game and get three points, then lose three games in a row?
A win against Lazio is three points, and a win against other teams is also three points. Why is there any need to fight Lazio until the bayonet is red in this game?
Unless the Football Association says who can beat Lazio and directly add 30 points, Cosmi will fight Lazio to the death with red eyes.
Now... forget it... let's consider the next home game against Parma...
Livorno's head coach Cosmi chose a conservative style of play in the second half. He replaced three main players and began to save strength for the next round of home games against Parma.
In Cosmi's view, Suryan Parma is ranked sixth, but it can still compete at its home court.
Forget Lazio, they no longer belong to this league at all...
Lazio defeated Livorno 3-0 in an empty home court.
The more than 2,000 Livorno fans were basically silent in the second half.
Because Lazio was completely suppressed on the scene, their performance was not unstable at all because of their boos.
Even if their voices become hoarse, they cannot help the team win this game.
At the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng said: "It feels very fresh to play football without fans in attendance. The players were a little uncomfortable at first, but then they became normal. There are two home games left.
, when the time comes, we welcome the real Lazio fans back to the stands and fight side by side with us!"
※※※
After the game against Livorno, there will be two consecutive away games.
The impact of away games on Lazio is much smaller. Anyway, the home team fans have the advantage.
Moreover, the ban only applies to home games, not away games as well.
But when the Uncultivables went to the club to get tickets as usual, they were told that they had no spots.
"No quota? What do you mean?" The representative of the Uncultivated Faction angrily glared at the staff member responsible for invoicing.
Although this staff member was a little afraid of this vicious-looking representative of the Uncultivated Faction.
But he still shook his head and said: "If there is no quota, there will be no quota."
"How is it possible that there are no quotas? We will have 300 to 500 quotas for each away game!"
"I don't know. That's what the ticketing system told me today. There are no places for you."
"Not for us?"
The representative heard a different meaning.
"Yes, there are no votes for you, no votes for the Uncultivated Faction." Behind him, a person appeared at the door.
The representative looked back and saw that it was Talay, the club's general manager.
"Tare, what do you mean?" he asked, spreading his hands.
"What I mean is...well, from today onwards, you, the Uncultivable Faction, don't have to go to away games. Because you won't get the votes."
Talley spread his hands and shrugged.
"Did I make it clear enough?"
The representative of the Uncivilized faction finally figured out the situation - Lazio club cut off their away tickets!
"From now on?" he asked.
"From now on." Lazio club manager Tare repeated with a nod.
"Very good, very good." The representative nodded, then glared at the staff member, turned around and walked out.
At the door, he turned back to Talley and said, "I promise you, you will regret it!"
"Don't be ridiculous, man." Tare smiled. "This is Chang's patent. I'm afraid you don't have the ability and qualifications."
The representative was so agitated by Tare's words that veins popped out on his forehead.
Then he slammed the door and walked out.
After the representative left, the nervous staff member said to Tare: "Is it really okay for the manager to do this? That is the most influential fan group in the Lazio region..."
Tare's face lost the previous ease and comfort. He frowned and shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but since it's a decision made by the club, we just have to abide by it..."
He sighed inwardly.
When Mr. Chairman told him this decision, he was also surprised. If the staff member asked himself, he had told Lotito once before.
But Lotito stood his ground.
So he had no choice but to comply.
In fact, he knew with his knees that this idea would definitely win.
Chang Sheng has had disputes with those "uneducable factions" not once or twice.
He has long wanted to deal with that group of people...
Now the racial discrimination incident against Eto'o finally gives him an excuse...
But does this really have no impact on the club?
You must know that the "Uncultivable Sect" is still quite influential north of Rome. And they have close relationships with many politicians. If you offend them, you will probably receive pressure from politicians, right?
Sigh... But it's useless to think so much now. I'm already in the same boat as them, so I can only hope that Chairman Chang He can really... defeat the "Uncultivable Sect".
The more Tare thought about it, the less hope he felt.
The power of the Uncultivated Sect is so deep-rooted that it is almost impossible to uproot them.
Perhaps in the end, the two sides reached a compromise, each giving in. The club allowed them to return to the ranks of fans watching away games, and they promised not to do anything that would harm the reputation of the Lazio club...

PS, the game is not over yet, it is not time to admit defeat!
No matter how many goals we are behind or how many votes we are behind, it’s all the same!
