The Catalan media did everything they could to help Barcelona win.
Not only did they call on Barcelona fans in the media to go to Camp Nou to support Barcelona, but some tabloids also simply played tricks on Barcelona fans.
For example, they organized Barcelona fans to make noise outside the hotel where Lazio were staying to prevent Lazio players from having a good rest.
This media published a registration phone number. As long as interested fans can call this phone number to register, the newspaper office provided vehicles, drinks and late-night snacks to ensure that the fans who caused trouble were physically energetic, and also provided various noise-making props.
Fans are also welcome to bring their own props.
A gathering time was agreed upon, and vehicles provided by the newspaper office would pull these people over.
Organized noise making to interfere with Lazio's preparations.
This is the strategy of Barcelona fans.

Chang Sheng did not go to Barcelona to prepare for the game in advance. They had been preparing for the game in Rome. They waited until the day before the game before taking a flight to Barcelona in the morning.
At the airport, Lazio was welcomed by many Blue Eagle fans who had arrived in Barcelona in advance. There were also many media outside the airport reporting Lazio's arrival.
The welcoming ceremony that once made the Catalan media very proud has now also appeared for Lazio.
We arrived in Barcelona at noon and took a short rest in the afternoon. In the evening, the entire Lazio team went to Camp Nou for training to adapt to the venue. At the same time, Chang Sheng participated in the pre-match press conference.
Chang Sheng once again made arrogant remarks at the pre-match press conference.
"The Catalan media used ten reasons to prove why Barcelona will win? I only need one reason to prove why you will lose." Chang Sheng raised a finger at the pre-match press conference.
"Santiago Bernabeu."
he said.
"For my team, it is a dream to reach the Bernabeu and win the Champions League, a goal worth paying all the costs and working hard for. But for you Barcelona, it is a nightmare."
Chang Sheng sat behind the table and said to a group of Catalan media with unkind expressions below.
"You are eager to enter the Champions League final at the Bernabeu. This matter has been bothering you and has become your inner demon. If you don't get rid of your inner demon, don't even think about beating me."
In fact, he wanted to say that Guardiola, if you don't get rid of your inner demons, don't even try to beat me.
Guardiola's inner demon is that he must defeat Lazio in this game. Even if his team's situation is already critical, he must win.
This pressure will become a time bomb that destroys his good team.
As for himself, he was much calmer in his confrontation with Guardiola.
First of all, it is naturally because he firmly believes that his tactics are more advanced than Guardiola's, so he can tactically suppress the opponent.
Secondly, Lazio won the first round and also beat the opponent by two goals, so he naturally had a psychological advantage.
Guardiola is obsessed with beating himself, which will cause him to lose some correct judgment.
But Chang Sheng couldn't say this, and it was hard for him to explain why Guardiola had to defeat him.
Guardiola has never told the public about this, so he doesn't have to say anything about it.
Despite this, journalists in Catalonia are still angry at Chang Sheng's arrogant attitude.
A Catalan reporter stood up and asked Chang Sheng: "The Bernabeu is our nightmare, isn't Bayern Munich your nightmare?"
Bayern Munich defeated Inter Milan 3:1 in the first round. The promotion situation is as favorable as Lazio's. Not surprisingly, Bayern Munich is likely to eliminate Inter Milan and advance to the final.
If this is the case, does Lazio have any idea at all?
Bayern Munich is Lazio's bitter enemy in the Champions League. Lazio did not win in the two meetings.
Wouldn't Lazio want to reach the final and then seek revenge from Bayern Munich?
Chang Sheng laughed after listening to this reporter's question.
"Even if Bayern Munich is really our nightmare, let's wait until we reach the final. Before that, you have already been eliminated, so you don't need to worry about this issue."
Catalan journalists are just not used to Chang Sheng's face.
It seems that the game no longer needs to be played, and the team entering the final must be Lazio.
This made them very unhappy.
We are only two goals behind you, why are you so confident?
Don't forget, we still have an away goal!
Where does your ecstatic confidence come from?
Perhaps only the Catalan tabloid, which called on fans to make noise for Lazio, was the happiest.
Because the more arrogant Chang Sheng is, the more Barcelona fans will be unhappy with him.
Then more Barcelona fans will come to participate in the activities they organize.
Through this organized event, the visibility of their newspaper should also be improved.

Chang Sheng's performance at the pre-match press conference made many Barcelona people feel uncomfortable. Many Barcelona TV stations criticized Chang Sheng after the game for lacking the most basic respect for his opponents.
In this regard, some Italian media said that when you promoted Barcelona by belittling Lazio, you did not see any respect for your opponents...
Does everyone think that the climax before the game is the pre-match press conference?
What a typo!
In the evening, when the Lazio players went to bed on time at ten o'clock, it was still calm outside.
Most players quickly fell asleep.
Under the strict requirements of constant victory, these players have developed very professional work and rest habits.
The day before the game, it is absolutely not allowed to stay awake past 10:30.
The team's coaching staff will decide who can start and who cannot based on the mental state of the players the next day.
So even if you have become the starting player for tomorrow's game in the tactical meeting, it does not mean that you can really start. It's not like Chang Sheng has never done something like temporarily replacing all starting players an hour before the start of the game...
…
In order to ensure that they do not lose the chance to start a few hours before the game starts, everyone will abide by the team's discipline very seriously.
People often only see what stars Lazio has and how good their tactics are, but they ignore Lazio's excellent discipline.
Every player at Lazio will abide by the discipline set by the coaching staff.
They were extremely obedient.
It was calm at first.
At 2:30 in the morning, several buses came on the street outside the hotel, the doors opened, and nearly a hundred people got off the bus.
They seemed quiet at first.
After coming down, I placed the items with ease.
Finally, they laid a line of red firecrackers on the road. Judging from the length, there may be a hundred thousand firecrackers...
What would it feel like if these 100,000 firecrackers suddenly exploded at 2:30 in the morning?
Just thinking about it makes you feel... shocked, right?
After everything was arranged, the leader looked at his watch and then waved his arm.
The person in charge of lighting the fire used a cigarette butt to light the firecrackers on the ground, then turned around and ran away with his butt stuck out!
Almost as soon as he turned around, firecrackers exploded.
A crackling sound suddenly sounded, echoing in the night sky.
The hotel where Lazio stayed was on a small street, opposite another building.
This is the old town of Barcelona, with many ancient buildings.
The urban planning here is very narrow, the distance between buildings is very close, and the roads are narrow. When the firecrackers sound suddenly, the sound bounces back and forth between the two buildings, forming a reverberation.
The sound is much louder than setting off firecrackers in an open space!
Even if many fans wear pre-prepared earmuffs, they will feel uncomfortable when they are close.
Not to mention the unprepared Lazio players!

Chang Sheng was suddenly woken up from his sleep by the explosion. For a moment, he thought he had traveled to the war years, with bullets raining outside, guns blaring, and flames shooting into the sky...
Then he cleverly rolled out of bed and rolled to the sidelines.
His movements are completely based on physical instinct.
It wasn't until he fell down on the carpet and lay beside the bed that his mind gradually came to his senses.
**! This is Barcelona, right? I’m still the head coach of Lazio, right?
After confirming this fact, he also heard clearly the sound of gunfire... that was the sound of firecrackers!
Then the embarrassed Chang Sheng stood up angrily, rushed to the bed, opened the curtains, and the scene on the street below came into view.
Several buses parked on the street, and a group of fans wearing Barcelona jerseys gathered, and then... thick smoke filled the road, and the firelight kept flashing in the thick smoke, like lightning in layers of dark clouds...
Chang Sheng was taken aback, and then quickly realized what he was doing.
This is what Barcelona fans do!
Our team has not experienced long-distance travel like Barcelona, so the team's physical fitness has not been greatly affected.
So Barcelona came up with this method to prevent Lazio players from having a bad rest.
As Chang Sheng said, the Bernabeu is Barcelona's nightmare, not only for the team, but also for the fans.
In fact, these fans care more about the final at the Bernabeu than the players.
In order to help their team advance to the Bernabeu, they will naturally do whatever they can.
Just setting off firecrackers in the middle of the night outside the hotel where the rival team is staying... is really childish.
But I have to say that such a pediatric trick is really effective.
Because soon the lights in the rooms where the Lazio players lived came on.
In addition, other guests staying at this hotel also suffered from the disease.
Soon, most of the windows were lit up...
But this didn't work.
After one firecracker was set off, Barcelona fans lit another one.
This crackling sound is simply endless... (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
