After the game against Juventus, it was the national team match day. The international players in the Lazio team all flew back to their respective countries to represent their homeland.
The Fermelo training base felt deserted and empty for a while.
However, there will always be some players who remain in the team, so Chang Sheng still has to go to Vermelo to train every day to complete his work.
Lazio's first team is still in the club and has not participated in the national team competition. Except for the two substitute center backs in the defense, they are basically all veterans.
They all quit their national teams because they were too old, and some of them didn't quit, but were ignored by the national team.
One characteristic of these old guys is that they are basically the same people who followed Chang Sheng to conquer the world.
Handanovic, Modric, Cavani, Jose Passarella.
They are all still in the Lazio team and have not left for so many years.
However, with Chang Sheng leaving next season, they should gradually say goodbye to Lazio, and even say goodbye to their careers.
Because of the lack of personnel, the team's training seemed very relaxed.
Sometimes it can't even be called training, it's more like a game to relax.
This relaxed atmosphere is also reflected in a winning attitude.
It's rare for him to not be strict in training.
The daily training time is very short, the content is not much, and the intensity is not high.
Even the players found it strange - when had Lazio's training been so easy?
During a break in training, Chang Sheng came to the players.
There were not many people, everyone was sitting on the edge of the training ground, resting and chatting.
Because most of them are old players who have known each other for more than ten years and have very deep feelings, there is nothing that cannot be said. Everyone gets together to chat, which is a common thing in training.
It's just that today's situation is a little special.
Because the boss, who never participated in the players' chats, actually appeared next to them.
"Actually, I'm very sorry for you." Chang Sheng sat in the middle of everyone and said to them.
The players did not expect that the boss came to apologize to them, and they were all surprised.
"I originally said that I would accompany you all the way, but I'm sorry, I have to take the first step." Chang Sheng said.
"I have been trying my best to avoid this situation for the past two years. But unfortunately... I have not succeeded."
Everyone looked at the boss who bowed his head and admitted his mistake, feeling a little at a loss.
"You have been with me for so many years, but in the end, we have to separate. I am really reluctant to leave. So I took this opportunity to talk to you and apologize."
Everyone finally came to their senses, and Handanovic said quickly: "No need to apologize, boss. In fact, we are all very satisfied. If we hadn't followed you, how could we have achieved the results we have now? Several of us have won championships in these years.
It's too late. You gave us everything we could imagine and everything we couldn't imagine. You don't owe us anything, so there's no need to apologize, boss."
"Yes, boss, why do you have to apologize to us? We are not used to you doing this..." Modric's words made everyone laugh.
Even Victory is no exception.
"It sounds like I'm always bullying you." Chang Sheng raised his arms.
Modric ducked, and everyone around him laughed heartlessly.
But after laughing, everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
After all, the topic brought up by the boss is somewhat sad.
Since the boss announced that he will leave Lazio next season, these old guys will deliberately avoid this topic when chatting.
No one suggested it, it was a tacit understanding among these old guys.
This topic is too sad. As soon as they talk about it, the floodgates of memories will open, and the flood of memories will surge out and drown them.
They don't like this sad feeling.
So they simply stopped talking.
But just because they don't talk about it doesn't mean they don't think about it.
Masters and apprentices who have been together day and night for more than ten years always have feelings for each other, and the feelings are very deep.
To be honest, they all hope that Chang Sheng will not leave and stay in Lazio, so that when they retire in Lazio, they will have Chang Sheng, their boss, by their side.
Then they will have no regrets.
Now, they are envious of their former teammates who have retired. At least they have their boss accompanying them when they end their careers.
And what about them?
After the boss left, they suddenly felt that their careers were incomplete...
At the beginning, they thought that if they played a few more years, they could follow their boss for a few more years.
Things are so unpredictable. Who would have thought that the position of head coach of Lazio, which is so untouchable, would one day be replaced by someone else!
Chang Sheng saw that everyone suddenly fell silent, and he could guess why.
So he smiled and clapped his hands: "It's no big deal. When you retire and want to be a coach, come to me. I'll still be with you, old guys. There's no such thing as a banquet that never ends. Thank you very much for these years."
support. I think it will be wonderful to recall the past years together when we are old. However, now we all have to go our own way. I think you can walk well on your own way."
After saying that, he stood up, patted his butt and walked away.
Everyone looked at his back and didn't know what to say for a while.
After a while, the boss had completely walked away. Cavani lowered his head and said, "No matter what, I still don't want the boss to leave..."
The others didn't speak, they just looked at him.
Even if they don't want to, so what?
Those who have to go will always go, just like they will retire.
The boss is right, there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever.
"I have also decided." Modric turned his head, "Like Jose, retire after this season!"
Everyone looked at him, a little surprised.
Facing everyone's gaze, Modric smiled: "Anyway, I am already thirty-six years old. I continue to play solely because the boss is here. Since the boss is gone, why do I need to continue playing?
?”
Cavani thought for a while and then said: "Then I will retire too. Anyway, I will be thirty-five next year. It seems meaningless to continue playing... I have taken everything I should get."
Handanovic raised his hand: "I will retire too. I will be 38 years old next year, and it's time to retire."
Jose Passarella announced his retirement long ago.
These few old guys who were the only ones left in today's Lazio team, who had followed them to victory and conquered the world, all made their decisions one after another.
Their careers did not start under Chang Sheng, but they spent most of their careers under Chang Sheng.
Jose Passarella was discovered by Chang Sheng. There were several seasons in between when Chang Sheng and Jose Passarella were separated. However, the two soon reunited at Lazio. From then on, they never met again.
We have never been separated. Until now, he is still the most important player in Lazio's defense, the anchor of the sea.
Modric's career did not start in Lazio, but when he came to Lazio, he was still an unknown person, a young man. He grew up in Lazio, became famous, and finally became famous... It can also be said that he
I have dedicated my entire career to Lazio and to constant victory.
Handanovic was brought to the European Saturday matches from Slovenia by Udinese. However, he did not play a game in Udinese. He only stayed for half a season before being loaned to Changsheng.
Lazio. After one season, Lazio spent 5 million euros to buy out Handanovic. Since then, Handanovic has become Lazio's main goalkeeper, guarding the door for Lazio for more than ten years.
Cavani was lured to Italy from Uruguay by Napoli and has been playing for Napoli for several years. But now everyone knows that it was just a quota for Lazio to borrow Napoli's non-EU foreign players. From the beginning,
Cavani is a Lazio player.
It is not wrong to say that they have given their entire careers to a team like Lazio.
But for them, Lazio is always victorious. Lazio without its boss is no longer Lazio, at least not the Lazio they want to stay with.
Deep down, they are very dissatisfied with Lotito's attitude towards their boss, and believe that no matter what conditions the boss wants, the club should agree. Because obviously, retaining the boss means retaining Lazio's glory.
Lotito, you have given your shares to the boss, so what conditions are there that you cannot agree to?
They couldn't figure out how these two golden partners fell out.
Now that the boss has left, they are not willing to stay at Lazio.
If they are younger, they are willing to follow the footsteps of their boss and continue to create brilliance and records.
But now, even if they want to follow their boss, he probably doesn't need them anymore.
So retirement is the best choice.
"Although it is the last season, and although we will retire soon, I think we should still contribute to the team." Captain Jose Passarella said at the end.
Everyone nodded.
Although they can only serve as substitutes, they can still contribute to the team on the bench.
That is to train seriously, keep your body in a healthy and good condition, and be able to contribute your strength at any time when the team needs them.
They have competed in many games, and they do not care about playing time or records. In this last season for everyone, they only hope to be able to help their boss, even a little bit, and that will be enough.
They must help the boss win the championship and use the championship to draw the most successful conclusion to his 17 seasons in Lazio.
If they don't support the boss in his last season at Lazio, who else will?
After all, they are the direct descendants of the boss... (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
