You can guess how the media evaluated this game the next day without even looking at Handanovic's loss.
Handanovic will be under tremendous pressure after the game.
But the worse was yet to come.
Ter Stegen's injury is serious.
The knee ligament is torn and he will miss the rest of the season. If not, he may not be able to play the beginning of next season!
This news means that in the next game, Lazio can only rely on Handanovic to guard the goal.
But everyone saw Handanovic's mistake in this game. Although his performance improved later, the mistake in the high-altitude ball was still not solved. Lazio had to let other players
Come help him fill this loophole.
When Handanovic becomes Lazio's starting goalkeeper, his high ball weakness will definitely become something that other teams will pay attention to.
By then, Lazio will inevitably be under greater pressure.
It was like a landmine was planted in Lazio's team, but it was not used to blow up the enemy, but to blow up itself.
One day I might step on it accidentally.
Is it appropriate to entrust the rest of Lazio's fate to Handanovic?
This was one of the topics of debate in the media in the following days.
※※※
On the first day after Chang Sheng resumed training, he had a private conversation with Handanovic.
Chang Sheng wanted to see Handanovic's current mental state.
If it doesn't work, he will comfort and enlighten him.
The position of goalkeeper is very important and requires a lot of emotional control from the players.
If a goalkeeper cannot control his emotions, he will put both the team and himself in danger.
As a result, as soon as they met, Chang Sheng realized that his worries were unnecessary.
When Handanovich stood before him, he showed no signs of restlessness or despondency.
If you just look at his current mental level, you can't tell that this man almost caused the team to lose the game because of one of his mistakes in last night's game.
Of course, this does not mean that Handanovic is short-sighted.
Chang Sheng is glad that Handanovic got over that mistake so quickly.
"I feel relieved when I see your expression." Chang Sheng said to Handanovich.
Handanovich also laughed: "Actually, I'm still a bit frustrated, boss."
"how?"
"I didn't expect that I would be so old that I can't even dance anymore." Handanovich smiled and scratched his head.
"This is the magic of time, Samir. Look at me, I am almost fifty years old. I think you already know about Mark (Andre ter Stegen), so you should also know what you are going to do next."
What to do...I called you here mainly because I wanted to confirm your status. After seeing your current mood, I feel relieved."
Handanovic straightened his body: "I will try my best, boss! I promise that mistakes like the one in the last game will not happen again, and I promise that the team will not lose again in the Champions League.
One goal!"
Chang Sheng waved his hand: "This is too absolute, Samir. I don't need you to promise not to concede the ball. It's not your responsibility alone. You and I will do our best. Don't leave any regrets for this season."
."
Handanovich nodded.
However, in his heart, he regarded what he said as a promise and kept it firmly in his mind.
In fact, there are only two games left to win the Champions League, one is the second leg of the semi-finals and the other is the final.
If you want to advance to the finals, you must not concede a goal in the next game against Barcelona. Once Lazio concedes a goal in an away game, it will cause a devastating blow to Lazio's morale and confidence.
So in Camp Nou, he must not concede the ball.
As long as he can not concede a goal, he believes that with his team's offensive ability, he can still eliminate Barcelona and advance to the finals.
No matter who the opponent is in the final, as long as they don't concede the ball, they have a great chance of winning the game.
So Handanovic said that in the following Champions League games, he will try not to concede a goal. It is not as simple as showing loyalty, but he really thinks so and plans to do so.
The boss may not want to put too much pressure on himself, but as the team's last line of defense, he must have high standards and strict demands on himself.
The goal conceded in the last game was my own fault, so I will have to atone for myself next!
※※※
Seeing that Handanovich was full of confidence, Chang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The next step is how to deal with Barcelona.
But just when Chang Sheng was about to calm down and deal with Barcelona, the Italian media exposed another piece of news related to Lazio.
"...The latest news we have received, according to well-informed sources, is that a foreign capital is currently trying to acquire shares in Lazio Club... But they are not acquiring shares from other small shareholders in Lazio, their target is Lazio Club.
The number one shareholder, club owner and president Lotito’s shares! In other words... Lotito is looking to sell his shares in Lazio!”
Chang Sheng doesn't often watch the news, unless there is a very important event. However, he obviously didn't know about this matter in advance, so he didn't see it on TV, let alone the Internet. He was told by reporters
I only found out about this after I blew up his external contact number.
He was also surprised when he just heard that Lotito was going to sell off his shares in the Lazio club.
He also repeatedly asked reporters who came to him to confirm the news: "Is this true?"
The reporter was helpless: "If I knew this was true, would I still ask you to confirm it, Chang?"
Chang Sheng thought about it, but he couldn't be sure: "I'm not sure, I don't know what's going on..."
"Did you and Lotito have any communication about this during the dedication ceremony of the statue?"
"No, no. Not at all. We have not discussed any issues related to shares. Mr. Chairman has not expressed any intention in this regard." Although he has broken up with Lotito, Chang Sheng still calls Lotito "
"Mr. Chairman" really gave Lotito a lot of face.
After hanging up the phone, Chang Sheng felt more and more strange the more he thought about it.
At first he thought it was no big deal, it must be another rumor concocted by the media. It's not like they haven't done this before.
In the past seventeen years, there have been five or six rumors about the rift between himself and Lotito, four or five rumors about him leaving Lazio, and seven or eight rumors about Lotito selling his shares.
Already.
But every time it was proven to be false.
But this time there were so many reporters who came to ask him this question, as if they had gotten inside information from a very certain channel.
It is said that three people make a tiger. When one person said this, Chang Sheng scoffed. When two people said it, Chang Sheng was half-believed. When three people said it, Chang Sheng would seriously consider whether the rumor was true or false.
Now it is no longer a matter of "three people become a tiger", but now it is a matter of "N people become a tiger".
If too many people ask him the same question, he will lose his judgment.
Does Lotito really want to sell his shares?
But why would he do this?
Chang Shengxin thought that the best way to solve this problem was to call Lotito and ask for details.
But when he dialed Lotito's number, he did hear a tone like "Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off."
Lotito's phone is off!
※※※
Chang Sheng could not get the truth from Lotito, so he had to search the Internet for news reports on the matter.
From the vast Internet, he quickly understood why the media reporters were so excited this time.
Because there is already very definite news.
A consortium from Russia announced that they are trying to acquire shares in Lazio Club.
And they also named Lotito, the president of Lazio Club, who was negotiating with them!
Although Lotito himself has not admitted it yet, the acquirer has admitted it - so what doubts are there about it?
It is a certainty that Lotito will try to sell his shares in the club!
Chang Sheng stared at the screen for a long time before coming back to his senses.
He finally understood why the reporters were so crazy...···
It has been almost 20 years since Lotito took over Lazio. In these 20 years, Lazio has transformed from a team on the verge of bankruptcy to a European hegemon.
During the honeymoon period of the relationship between Chang Sheng and Lotito, Lotito was considered the most successful and greatest president of Lazio.
Lotito has even been equated with Lazio, and everyone has forgotten that Lazio club is actually a listed company with a board of directors and shareholders.
I thought it was Lotito's private property.
The more we learn about these news stories, the stranger they become.
There are so many news reports that Lotito intends to sell up to 60% of his shares.
These news are reported by world-renowned major news agencies and media. There is no need for people to lie and spread rumors about Lazio.
Is there any conflict of interest between Lazio and them that they can discredit...
So what they reported should be true.
Lotito wants to sell his shares?
And the news is not talking about a part of the shares, but all the shares!
That’s 60% of the shares!
Whoever gets it will be the new owner of this club!
Based on Lazio's performance over the years, the stock price has soared countless times compared to when Lotito first took over!
Buying these shares requires spending huge amounts of money.
And by selling these shares, Lotito can also gain a lot.
But why did he want to sell?
What reason does he have for doing this?
Chang Sheng still can’t figure it out.
He has driven himself away, what can stop him at Lazio? He can build this club according to his own ideas, this team...
Then at this time, he announced that he would quit playing.
