After the game in Tokyo, Lazio left this place that was full of hostility to them overnight, but they did not go back to Italy directly, but flew back to Shanghai.
In Shanghai they continued training on Chongming Island.
It was not until the day before the Italian Super Cup with Roma that they flew from Shanghai to Beijing.
In Beijing, Lazio received a grand welcome.
The completely different atmosphere from Japan made Lazio players feel that China is cuter.
※ ※ ※
This is the first Rome derby in the history of the Italian Super Cup.
Although it is no longer interesting in Italy, in China, the organizers are still vigorously promoting this concept.
I hope fans of the two teams in China can come to the scene to support their teams.
Needless to say, the effect is really good.
Perhaps Roma fans in Italy no longer care about local derbies, but the concept still has a market in China.
Chinese fans always think derby is the most attractive.
Therefore, the box office of this game is quite impressive - although not as good as last year, because the number of Inter Milan fans in China is definitely more than the number of Roma fans.
But it’s pretty good.
If this game was arranged in Italy, it is estimated that Roma fans would have little interest in going to watch their team being brutally beaten by their rivals in the same city...
※ ※ ※
In the end, there was no suspense in this Super Cup. Lazio didn't even use their strongest lineup, with Ballack and Bresciano starting.
Bresciano even scored his first official goal after joining Lazio.
The game itself is not much to talk about. Lazio has the upper hand. Roma is not happy about coming to Beijing to serve as a foil for Lazio, so naturally they have no intention of competing with Lazio.
After the game, there was an interesting episode that left a deep impression on Chang Sheng.
Just after the game ended, while the Lazio players were celebrating their victory on the field, a commotion suddenly broke out in one of the stands.
I saw a Chinese fan jump directly from the stands!
The stands of the Bird's Nest Stadium are not directly grounded. There is still some distance from the first row of seats to the ground. Unexpectedly, this fan jumped directly from the stands.
Because he didn't expect him to jump from there, when he landed, the armed police who were everywhere didn't even have time to stop him.
Then this fan, who was naked from the waist up and wearing only a Lazio team flag, broke through the obstruction all the way.
He didn't rush onto the court to find the star players, but he rushed all the way to the winning side.
Then, while everyone was stunned, he hugged Chang Sheng!
This is really a scene that no one expected.
"Chang Sheng. I'm your fan! Sign your name and take a photo with me!"
This person shouted in Chang Sheng's ear, and Tumo Xingzi sprayed Chang Sheng in the face.
Before Chang Sheng could wipe the saliva off his face, the crazy fan was caught by the police who reacted and dragged outside.
But at this time Chang Sheng reacted and stopped the police.
"Wait a minute, he just wants an autograph and a photo. It's not a big deal." Chang Sheng stopped the person.
He knew that if this fan was taken away, he would basically spend a few days in a detention center. This was considered disturbing public order.
Of course, this does not mean that China only does this. In many countries, fans who break into the stadium have to spend a few days in jail after being caught.
The charges are basically disturbing public order.
For example, when Real Madrid visited the United States, an excited American fan rushed into the stadium and hugged Cristiano Ronaldo. Although Cristiano Ronaldo stopped the police, dissuaded them, and begged them for mercy, asking the police not to arrest him.
He takes it away.
But the excited fan was still detained for several days before being released.
So this Chinese fan will not be an exception.
But Chang Sheng hopes to show mercy to him for once.
The only thing he could do was to protect him himself.
Seeing what Chang Sheng said, the policemen were very embarrassed: "This is against the rules, Mr. Chang..."
"I know, I know, but he didn't cause any harm, and it doesn't count as disrupting public order..."
The two sides struggled for a long time, but the fan was still taken away.
Before he was taken away, he finally fulfilled his wish. Chang Sheng signed his name on the Lazio flag he was wearing.
And took a photo with him as a souvenir.
Then the fan followed the policemen contentedly, without any fear of being imprisoned. On the contrary, he was quite proud and kept waving to the fans cheering and applauding him in the stands. He was in high spirits. If
If there were no police escorting him, he would have jumped away.
He didn't care about being detained for a few days.
For such a small matter, you won't be detained for long, and you won't suffer any punishment in the detention center.
In fact, when the police took him away, there was a policeman who was also a fan and chatted with him, admiring his skill: "Were you not injured when you jumped from such a high place?"
This crazy fan attracted applause from all the Lazio fans and became the focus of media attention. He was a highlight of the game.
So in the end, the fan was actually just taken to the police station, criticized and educated, and then released.
This experience is destined to be something this fan deserves to show off and brag about.
But I'm afraid Chang Sheng will soon forget about it.
Because he is too busy, there are all kinds of things waiting for him every day.

After playing the Italian Super Cup, Lazio did not stay overnight in Beijing. Instead, they went straight to the Capital International Airport and took a direct flight back to Rome as soon as possible.
They are pressed for time and the team needs a good rest because the European Super Cup is waiting for them on August 28th.
This August has been extremely busy.
On the plane, Chang Sheng was not tired. He was anxious for the coaches to get together for a meeting.
Summarize the gains and losses during this period.
In August, I traveled tens of thousands of kilometers back and forth and played five games, which was considered to be the completion of my pre-season warm-up.
The three newly joined players have different integration into the team. Klose is the fastest and Ballack is the slowest.
This is something I have to be mentally prepared for to win.
Klose later joined Lazio and performed well, so it is inevitable that he can quickly adapt to the new environment.
Moreover, Klose is now an all-around forward who can shoot and score by himself, can also play ball for his teammates, header the ball, and is good with his feet.
His technical characteristics make it easy for him to integrate into Lazio's tactical system.
Ballack's previous playing style has always been far different from the football played by Lazio.
Ballack is a relatively tough midfielder, while Lazio's midfielder is more delicate.
It was a bit difficult for Ballack to adapt.
Bresciano's performance was quite satisfactory.
In line with the positioning given to him by the coaching staff, he does not need to complete any amazing tasks. As long as he can complete his job well.
Therefore, the results of pre-season training and preparations are generally satisfactory.
The only problem is Ballack's integration.
"Barack is under a lot of pressure... His previous fame is inversely proportional to his current performance," said Elena Fontana, the team's beautiful psychiatrist.
"Isn't this what you do?" Assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez asked.
Fontana shrugged: "He hates talking to me."
"Why is this? Don't all the players in our team like to chat with you?"
"As a well-known veteran, who was previously ranked among the top three world-class midfielders, seeking a psychiatrist means admitting his weakness. Ballack is a tough guy. Doing so may not be in line with his aesthetics..." Fontana
Explained. “He doesn’t want to tell others that he has psychological problems and is overwhelmed by pressure. He doesn’t want to publicly show his weakness... The team is so big, anyone who goes to me will soon know it. Also
This is related to the fact that he had no contact with a psychiatrist in the first ten years of his career, and he was not used to it."
Chang Sheng listened quietly to the conversations and discussions of his men.
Barak must be activated.
Although he didn't cost the club a penny in transfer fees, the club still has to give him an after-tax annual salary of 3 million per year. With taxes included, it's 6 million.
This is not a small amount of money either.
I introduced him in the hope that he could contribute to the team.
Lazio is not a nursing home. It wasn't in the past, it's not the time now, and it won't be in the future. He won't want useless veterans.
He would rather buy young players.
At first, he was worried about the problems in the team's locker room after Ballack's arrival.
Now it seems that Ballack is very calm in the locker room and has no intention of forming cliques.
Unexpectedly, there was a problem with tactical adaptation.
It's a pity that there are no training skills specifically targeted at an individual to improve his speed in adapting to tactics.
And this is mainly a psychological problem.
The tactics can be adapted slowly, and Lazio will not put pressure on him.
His pressure mainly comes from himself.
He couldn't accept that he was once an all-powerful player but now he was reduced to a situation where he wanted to hug him - Chang Sheng believed that Ballack would have some inferiority complex when he came to Lazio for a Champions League title.
This inferiority complex is complex and is the result of a variety of factors.
On the one hand, Ballack's reputation is greater than that of many Lazio players. When his morale was at its peak, Lazio was still struggling in the quagmire.
But on the other hand, his achievements are not as great as the current group of Lazio players. If we talk about the number of championships, he will feel inferior.
These little-known Lazio players, even the substitutes, are people with two Champions League titles!
And what about yourself?
Still trying to hug Lazio for a championship.
Chang Sheng knows that Ballack is willing to cut his salary to come to Lazio in order to win the Champions League, but in his heart, he may never regard Lazio as his home. He will not be emotionally invested in this team.
He's just here to hug me.
Such complicated feelings made him feel inferior.
The gap between the brilliance and failure in his career also made him feel disappointed.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Barak is still putting on airs.
The dignified captain of the German national team has to start from scratch at Lazio, and he feels somewhat unable to let go of his figure.
He is not like Klose, this is completely surprising in his character.
Klose did not come to Lazio to win the Champions League, he just wanted to play football and play well in his career.
Thinking of this, Chang Sheng said: "Go back to Rome and find an opportunity for me to talk to him."
Fontana, who was explaining some professional terms in psychology to Rudy Gonzalez, stopped when she heard what Chang Sheng said.
Then he smiled and said: "Okay, we don't need to discuss this issue. If you come out often, there will be no problem."
Chang Sheng rolled his eyes at him: "I'm not a professional psychiatrist."
"Sometimes, the effect of Yeluzi will be better." Fontana said with a smile.
