After the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Lazio had two league games left in the league. In the thirty-seventh round of the league, Lazio challenged Livorno away.
Among Lazio's mortal enemies, Roma counts as one, and so does Livorno.
Because Lazio is a right-wing team and Livorno is a left-wing team.
This is a contradiction in political concepts.
But after the Incorrigibles were killed by Lazio, the conflict between the two teams faded a lot.
In the past, it was the uncivilized faction that kidnapped the team to promote their political ideas.
They once again brought the Nazi swastika flag into the stadium and openly promoted Nazi ideology, because their opponent in that game was Livorno. The Uncultivables claimed that they did this because Livorno first brought the communist flag.
Bringing it into the stadium, in response, they naturally can only bring a swastika flag...
But this shows how uneducated the Uncultivable Sect is...
Now that such an organization is determined to be "illegal", no one will care about political matters.
There was much less non-football content on both sides of this match.
Chang Winning does not care about things like right and left. A football match is a football match. Any consideration he makes is only from the perspective of football. He does not insist on winning at all costs just because Livorno is a left-wing team.
He will not be open to Livorno, who is holding the communist flag, just because he is Chinese.
The win in this game allowed all the main players to rest.
Some reserve players and substitute players were sent.
If the Uncultivables were still there, they would definitely angrily criticize Chang Sheng as a left-wing lackey in their "Voice of the North Stand".
Now... no one says this anymore.
This is not to ask Livorno to be lenient. Chang Sheng's purpose of doing this is very simple, which is to let the players rest as much as possible.
Their tactics succeeded in exhausting Barcelona, but in fact they themselves were uncomfortable.
Lazio's players gritted their teeth and persisted in the end, but they just didn't let Barcelona see it.
If they don't rest, Lazio will probably be almost as good as Barcelona.
Moreover, it is Lazio's turn to go to the away game next week, and Chang Sheng must be prepared. If the impact of the volcanic eruption in Iceland has not passed and flights continue to be grounded, then his team will also have to take the bus to Barcelona.
The impact on physical fitness is very obvious.
Barcelona is famous for its physical fitness, but this kind of long-distance travel is also a bit unbearable.
Chang Sheng now has to be glad that his opponent is Barcelona and not a team from Moscow, otherwise if he takes a bus... when will he be able to get there...

Because all players were rotated, Lazio was forced to a 1:1 draw by Livorno in the away game.
But I don't care at all about this result.
Anyway, he has already won the league championship, so he doesn't care about the results of the last two rounds.
At this time he is only responsible for the Champions League.
Champions League results come first, and everything else has to take a back seat.
Not only did Chang Sheng not care about this game, but even Lazio fans didn't care much about the game against Livorno.
Now everyone only has the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona in their minds.
Except for this game, other games are not important.
You know, when the media praised Barcelona and belittled Lazio before, it was not only Chang Sheng who was unhappy, but also these Lazio fans.
They have long wanted to teach Barcelona a lesson.
The first round made Lazio fans feel proud and happy.
But they also know that the semi-finals are two-legged. If Lazio cannot eliminate Barcelona in the away game, but is eliminated by Barcelona, then the media's previous praise of Barcelona and disparagement of Lazio will really come true for them.
So at this time, the semifinals are more important than anything else.
No Lazio fan wants to be laughed at by the media.

During this period, Chang Sheng paid attention to the weather conditions every day and the follow-up progress of the Icelandic volcanic eruption.
The Icelandic volcano has not erupted again since that eruption, so at least there is no need to worry about new volcanic ash moving south.
But will the volcanic ash currently covering Europe be cleared by then?
Chang Sheng doesn’t know either.
Finally, good news came. The volcanic ash gradually dispersed, the airspace of European countries was opened, and flights from Italy to Barcelona could finally take off and land normally!
As soon as the news came out, the entire Italian media cheered - it seems that those who care about volcanic ash are not just Chang Sheng.
Indeed, the sudden volcanic ash has plunged the whole of Europe into chaos. This is the most important and most concerning event in Europe today.
Two days after the volcanic eruption in Iceland, 17,000 flights were grounded! You must know that the number of daily flights in Europe is about 22,000. The United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands,
The airspace of Belgium and other countries has been completely closed, which naturally has a considerable impact on football matches.
The European war is naturally the first to bear the brunt. Both Barcelona and Lyon are forced to take buses to play away games. It is more than 700 kilometers from Lyon to Munich, and more than 1,000 kilometers from Barcelona to Rome!
In addition to the European war, the domestic leagues of many countries have been affected, especially those with large areas...
For example, the unlucky Marseille team had to take a fourteen-hour bus ride from the south of France to the away game Boulogne near the Strait of Dover in the north due to the suspension of flights due to volcanic ash and the strike of French railway workers. The total mileage was 1,000.
Thirty-four kilometers.
Fortunately, after a long journey, Marseille still won the opponent 2:1 with a penalty kick in stoppage time and continued to lead the standings with a five-point advantage. Marseille sports manager Aniego took the opportunity to educate the players, "Such a long journey,
Maybe it can make the players more considerate of our fans because they often go to away games like this."
Lineker, the anchor of BBC's "Match Today", also joked about the volcanic ash before the start of the day's program. He had reason to do so, because the volcanic ash also harmed the football star. Before the incident, Lineker was accompanying his girlfriend and children.
He was on vacation on the southernmost island of Spain, Tenerife, and had to return to London to do a show. He had no choice but to catch a small plane from Tenerife to Madrid, then hire a car to cross the border to Bordeaux, France, and then hop on a train to Paris.
, and finally returned to London in a thrilling way by taking the "Eurostar" undersea tunnel train, a total distance of 3,683 kilometers!
Everyone saw the impact of volcanic ash on games when Barcelona challenged Inter Milan away from home.
The Italians naturally do not want to make the same mistake as Barcelona.
It must be said that the physical energy consumed so quickly in Barcelona is related to the twenty-four hours long journey.
If Lazio also has to take a bus to go to away games...then I'm afraid they will face the same problem as Barcelona.
Fortunately, the impact of volcanic ash has finally subsided.
Lazio can now fly to Barcelona.
In fact, Chang Sheng already knew that after the away game in Barcelona, the volcanic ash dispersed.
But this is what he remembers.
He wasn't sure whether things would develop like this in this time and space.
With the experience of two confrontations with Manchester United, Chang Sheng no longer believes in his own memory. Who knows if God will come up with a new trick?
In fact, he has already made preparations. If it fails, he will let the team take the bus to the away game.
Unexpectedly, God didn't go against him this time.
Could it be that I defeated it twice in a row and made it shrink back?
That’s not bad!

The dissipation of volcanic ash is good news for Lazio, but people in Barcelona are gnashing their teeth in hatred.
They originally hoped that Lazio, like Barcelona, could only take the bus to play away games. This would have a great impact on their physical fitness. Barcelona is waiting for work. Let alone 2:0 at home, it can be 5:0!
As a result, the volcanic ash dispersed in the second round!
When it was Barcelona's turn to play, volcanic ash appeared. But when Lazio traveled a long distance to play an away game, the volcanic ash was gone...
Some Barcelona fans even suspect that Changsheng borrowed sophisticated weapons that can control the weather from the Chinese military, specifically to deal with Barcelona... How else to explain the volcanic ash problem that is so beneficial to Lazio?
In order to win or lose a game, even high-end weapons that can control the weather are brought out... I have to admire people's imagination, this idea is really not ordinary...

After Guardiola returned to Barcelona, apart from Cruyff's displeasure, other Catalan media did not criticize Guardiola. Their acceptance was much higher than Cruyff's.
They were only busy with two things: First, to exonerate Guardiola and tell everyone that Barcelona was defeated by Lazio in an away game. The crime was not due to war, but the weather. If we had not traveled more than a thousand kilometers because of volcanic ash, we would have
You may not lose the game in Kechan.
The second thing is to call on Barcelona fans to go and watch the game.
"We have to completely fill the Camp Nou stadium, which can accommodate more than 100,900 people! Next Wednesday, let us fully show our strength to the enemy here! Let us become the best twelfth man of Barcelona! This is
In the decisive battle, we must fight back! The team needs your strength!"
In order to enhance the effect, the media changed Chang Sheng's ridicule against them at the post-match press conference and published it as "taunting Barcelona" to arouse the fans' common hatred.
Chang Sheng's harsh words were highlighted in red and bold by the Catalan media, with key points highlighted, for fear that fans would not find the same words.
They vowed to win at Camp Nou. Look at the power of Barcelona and the power of the Catalan nation!
Even the Spanish government wants to be polite to us. Why are you, a mere little coach, so arrogant in front of us?
You are asking for death! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
