When Lazio faced Roma at home, Lazio fans naturally made up the majority, so the crowd was basically full of fans cheering for Lazio.
Lazio fans also displayed a giant fist logo in the north stand.
It was a raised fist. It was the gesture Chang Sheng made to the Roma fans in the center circle of the Stadio Olimpico before leading Lazio to face Roma in the first Roma derby.
You must know that it was Roma's home stadium. At that time, Roma fans greeted the victorious appearance with boos and curses.
They thought Chang Sheng would be intimidated by their reality, but no, Chang Sheng showed toughness beyond their imagination.
It can even be said that in the history of the Rome Derby, no Lazio head coach would treat hostile fans like this.
It's not that there isn't enough hatred between them, but it's because no head coach knows the fans well.
But Chang Sheng did exactly that.
He ran to the center circle, raised his fist, and fought against the Roma fans!
The scene at that time... it made every Lazio fan present extremely excited. Even if I think about it now, tears will come to my eyes!
At that time, Lazio was at a low point, completely overwhelmed by their local rivals.
It was still at Rome's home court, but they were victorious but showed no fear. They raised their fists at them despite the boos in the sky.
This is an action of demonstration and a fearless action.
It symbolizes Lazio's courage.
Since then, Lazio has completed their phoenix renaissance.
Since then, Lazio has dominated Serie A, won a UEFA Cup championship and two Champions League championships, becoming recognized as the most powerful team in the first decade of the 21st century.
Although Lazio has long since become a world-class team, this move still remains in the minds of many Lazio fans.
In order to commemorate this punch, they made such a huge flag and engraved the winning move on it.
At first it was a full-length photo of Chang Sheng, then it became a black and white painting, and now it is simplified into a fist.
Nothing else is needed, just this fist and this gesture, and everyone will know what it means.
This is a punch that breaks the sky for ever-lasting victory, and it creates a new world for Lazio!
This flag will appear in the stands of the Olympic Stadium every important game. But this year is the first time it has appeared in the north stand.
Because the cancerous "uncool faction" in the North Stand have been expelled, the North Stand will reopen for the new season and sell tickets to ordinary fans.
The North Stand is no longer a place occupied by extreme fans, but has become a place where all fans who love Lazio gather.
Today, this flag is unfurled in the north stand. There are also fan leaders taking the lead in chanting: "If you support Lazio, you raise your fist!"
So almost all Lazio fans stood up and raised their fists high.
Dong Qiudi is naturally among them.
He looked at the flag in the north stand and was fascinated.
It's a pity that he is already a member of the Lazio coaching staff and can only sit in his seat and cannot go to the North Stand anymore.
※※※
Lazio fans turned the Stadio Olimpico into a hell for Rome at this moment. The huge flags and tens of thousands of fists were enough to scare Rome.
They can look forward to a crushing victory. Just like the previous games, or even more exciting than the previous games!
But after the game started, it didn't go as smoothly as they imagined.
Only seven minutes into the game, Lazio's starting center Cavani suffered a serious foul from Roma defender Burdisso. He fell to the ground and could not get up.
"This is a foul! Definitely a foul! A very bad foul!" Commentator Caressa exclaimed in the commentary box. "Burdisso was like a bulldozer, shoveling Cavani into the air, and then
He turned around in the air and finally fell to the ground... This foul was scary enough from a visual perspective. The result was also terrifying! Cavani fell to the ground motionless. I guess he might not be able to continue playing...
…”
"Damn it!" Chang Sheng, who was on the sidelines, immediately jumped up from his seat. Then he rushed to the sidelines and stared nervously at the court.
The matter of protesting to the fourth official was left to assistant coach Di Matteo.
The Italian followed him and roared at the fourth official: "This foul is so bad! It's not an exaggeration to give a red card!!"
Lazio fans in the stands also booed and cursed Burdisso.
※※※
Burdisso received a red card for this rough foul and was sent off!
The Roma fans in the stands booed, but their boos were immediately drowned out by the shouts of the Lazio fans.
This is Lazio's home court. How can Lazio fans tolerate their local rivals being arrogant in front of them?
Are you still unwilling to give Burdisso a red card? You sons of bitches!
Lazio fans cursed Roma fans and Burdisso in the stands.
In particular, Burdisso was not willing to go down. He certainly knew the meaning of being given a red card just after the game started. He hoped to ask the referee to be more lenient.
It's just that the referee has made such a decision, and it rarely changes.
So his fate is inevitable.
Even if his teammates and captain came to speak for him, it would be meaningless.
Everyone saw his foul action just now, and the key is that it has a great visual impact. Cavani fell so hard. It would be unjustifiable if he did not give a red card...
"Burdisso received a red card for a foul in Roma's 1:5 away defeat to Cagliari in the second round of the league. Only eight league rounds later, he received another red card.
Red card... This is Roma's fourth red card in the league this season. Ranieri should emphasize the team's discipline. They are already the team with the most red cards in the league!"
Caressa also denounced Rome's rough style.
Lazio's team doctor had already gone up to perform simple treatment on Cavani, and then the team medical leader made a substitution gesture on the court to Chang Sheng on the sidelines.
The meaning is obvious.
Cavani was unable to stay in the game and had to leave the game.
"Fuck!" Chang Sheng cursed with a Chinese expletive.
But there was no use scolding him now, he turned and walked to the bench.
Then he said to Klose, the substitute center for this game: "Milo, get ready to play. Watch out for their defenders."
Klose nodded and stood up from the ground.
Then he stood up and began to take off his vest, and assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez followed up to explain specific tactics to him using tactical charts.
Chang Sheng went to care about Cavani's injury.
He asked Fontana, the team doctor's chief: "How's it going?"
Fontana shook his head: "The situation is not good, Chang. I think he needs to go to the hospital immediately for further examination..."
It's really bad if you need to go to the hospital right away.
Chang Sheng's face was so gloomy that he could shed tears.
"And even if it's like this now, I know that this injury won't be healed in at least a month or two..."
※※※
At this time, the slow motion of Burdisso's foul was being played on the TV. You can clearly see Burdisso's front tackle, the spikes lit up, and they hit Cavani's ankle. Cavani's
The ankles were deformed by the kick. Just watching it through the TV would make people feel pain in their ankles, let alone Cavani who was kicked hard.
"For this foul, Burdisso was not unjustly sent off...it's too bad!"
"It is indeed the most intense derby in Italy! The Rome Derby is well-deserved! The game only started for seven minutes. Players left the field with serious injuries, and there were also flagrant fouls and red cards..."
"Cavani is injured and is off the field. This is not good news. It seems that the injury is very serious. If it affects the subsequent games, Lazio will have to rely on two old guys at the center position... This is definitely not a hope of winning.
What I saw...I think with a winning temper, after this game, he will definitely have something to say..."
※※※
So only eight minutes into the game, Lazio had to make substitutions.
"This was a passive substitution. Cavani was injured and was replaced by Klose. A veteran was replaced. I think the Roma defender should be more polite to the old man!" the commentator of Rome Radio joked. He is the official official of the Roma Club.
Commentator, the people listening to his commentary are all Roma fans, and he himself is a Roma supporter, so what he said is just what he wants.
Burdisso has been sent off. However, he got a Cavani, which can be regarded as completing the task.
As for Klose, his performance after joining Lazio was quite remarkable. But this was his first Rome Derby and he had no such experience before.
There were also Roma fans in the stands chanting: "Let him see what a Rome derby is!! Guys! Let them see it!"
They pointed at Klose and shouted curses in the stands.
It's not that they have any personal grudge against Klose, but who said Klose is a Lazio player and a new player in Lazio?
As a ceremony to welcome newcomers, Roma fans must shout this.
Burdisso's foul caused Cavani's injury. These Roma fans did not feel the slightest guilt. They even thought Burdisso had done a good job. They complained that the referee should not have sent Burdisso off and given him a yellow card.
Okay, maybe this was a fake fall by Cavani? He was injured because he jumped too high and fell and hit the ground on his head.
This is the mortal enemy in the same city.
I wish the other person would die immediately.
Klose ran onto the court under such hostile eyes. He turned a deaf ear to the noise around him.
Although this is his first time participating in the Rome derby, what scene has the 32-year-old German veteran not seen? He has played in the World Cup finals.
