On the second day of the final, Roma announced the dismissal of Roma coach Mancini! News
The Roma club thanked Mancini for his work and efforts over the past two seasons.
The news did not reveal why Mancini was dismissed.
But everyone can guess that, on the one hand, the 0:6 home defeat to Juventus was too controversial, which attracted a lot of criticism from the public and put a lot of pressure on the Roma club.
On the other hand, it’s because my grades are so bad.
We lost to Lazio in the Coppa Italia final and we lost so miserably. Someone must be held responsible for this.
Mancini must be dismissed.
※※※
Chang Sheng did not express any opinion on Mancini's dismissal.
After the game against Roma, he no longer cared about his opponent.
The Italian Cup is history.
Now his focus is on the Champions League final.
After the Italian final, there is still one week left before the Champions League final.
He announced that the team had entered a closed training camp, the training ground was closed to the outside world, no media interviews would be accepted, and fans were also turned away.
The media and fans are used to it and they are very cooperative.
Closed training camps are a characteristic of Lazio.
As long as there are important games, Lazio will conduct closed training camps.
This means they take this game seriously.
And this is like a trump card, it doesn’t have to be used every time.
For example, when the competition with Juventus for the league title reached a fever pitch in the final stage of this year's league, Lazio did not conduct closed training camps.
The Italian Cup final is even less worthy of Lazio's closed training.
The Champions League final is a very important game, so it must be taken seriously.
But his seriousness is not good news for Paris Saint-Germain.
Because past experience has proven that once Lazio starts a closed training camp, they will make a big move.
A reporter went to interview Manuel and asked him what he thought of Lazio’s closed training camp.
Manuel said: "Lazio takes us seriously, which shows that we are opponents worthy of being taken seriously. Likewise, we will take them seriously. This is the top final in Europe.
Our opponents are the most powerful, but we ourselves are also very powerful. In this game, Paris Saint-Germain will let the world know this team again!"
Where does Manuel's confidence come from?
Coming from the semifinals.
Paris Saint-Germain eliminated the defending champion in the semi-finals, which boosted the confidence of him and his players.
The great blueprint of Paris Saint-Germain is about to be drawn in your own hands!
Paris Saint-Germain is in really good shape this season.
In Ligue 1, they have won the league title for the fourth consecutive season.
As long as they can win the Champions League final, they will become double champions.
Ligue 1's dominant performance in the league and its outstanding results in the Champions League are sources of confidence for Manuel.
Even though Lazio bloodbathed Roma in the recent Coppa Italia final, it did not shake Manuel's determination.
Because the whole of Europe knows that the Roma derby exists in name only and is the least suspenseful intra-city derby. It is normal for Roma to lose to Lazio no matter what.
So this game has no reference value.
Neither Manuel nor his team were affected by the match.

This season's Champions League final is held at the Emirates Stadium of Premier League giant Arsenal.
After four days of closed training at the Formello training base in Rome, Lazio ended their closed training. The entire team flew to London and then checked into a hotel to make final preparations.
The so-called final preparations are actually two training sessions to adapt to the venue. At other times, Lazio directly used the hotel lawn for training.
Paris Saint-Germain arrived in London a week in advance and rented Tottenham Hotspur's training ground for adaptation training.
Mainly to adapt to the weather here.
In terms of preparations alone, it seems that Paris Saint-Germain is doing better than Lazio.
At the pre-match press conference, Chang Sheng broke his long silence on Manuel.
"I'm not deaf, so I heard everything Mr. Manuel said. At the same time, in order to avoid forgetting, I also squeezed it into a small notebook..." As he said that, Chang Sheng lit up his
As expected, the little notebook is filled with dense writing.
But whether it was Manuel's words recorded or something else is unknown.
Chang Sheng put away his notebook and continued: "Every day at the beginning of training, I will read a piece of Mr. Manuel's heroic words to my players to motivate them to train seriously. I said to them: 'If we
If we don’t work hard, we will be kicked out of the ground by Paris Saint-Germain! So my players are very serious. Here, I would like to express my special thanks to Mr. Manuel.”
Always win with a gentle jaw.
But none of the reporters below believed his lies—yes, lies! In their eyes, Chang Sheng was just lies!
What are you grateful for?
It’s just a mockery of Manuel’s confident declaration...
From the beginning to the end, Chang Sheng never looked at Manuel. Otherwise, why didn't Chang Sheng respond to Manuel's words?
Chang Sheng has been involved in European football for more than 20 years, and everyone knows him very well from the very beginning to now. They all know Chang Sheng's style of conduct.
He never praises his opponents before a game, or says something very positive about his opponents.
In this case, he would often stay and talk about it after the game, and basically he would only talk about it after he won.
What could Manuel do to make Chang Sheng make an exception before the game?
If you say something like this before a game, it's basically ironic.
※※※
Manuel is not a fool, he also feels the malice from Chang Sheng.
He thought he was underestimated by Chang Sheng.
Of course, in terms of fame, performance, and strength, he admits that he is not as good as Chang Sheng.
But the outcome of a game is definitely not determined by these, but by the performance in this game.
He believes that his performance in this game is enough for him to challenge for a permanent victory.
In the semi-finals, he defeated Di Matteo, his protégé who always wins. This allowed him to understand the characteristics of the winning tactical style to a certain extent.
At the same time, during this week, he studied Chang Sheng day and night. Not only did he study his game tactics, but also his personal personality traits. He even read three autobiographies published by Chang Sheng.
Thus I got to know what kind of person Chang Sheng is.
In response to his winning personality and Lazio's effective tactics, he adopted Paris Saint-Germain's tactics.
He believes that his tactics are very targeted and can restrain Lazio in the game.
At the pre-match press conference, Manuel showed no sign of weakness and hit back at Chang Sheng's disdain.
"I am deeply honored to be able to serve as Lazio's training material. I hope my help can make the final more exciting!"
He said this loudly, as if if it weren't for him, the game would be meaningless.
Manuel is so arrogant because Chang Sheng is a giant in the coaching world.
His achievements in European football over the past two decades are unprecedented and unprecedented.
No head coach can win so many significant championships while in active service.
Not even Ferguson has done it.
Just nine league championships can already blind many people's eyes.
In the face of this achievement, honors such as fifteen top league championships seem to be somewhat unworthy of mention.
At the same time, he is only 49 years old. As a head coach, he is still young. He still has a long time to continue to improve his achievements.
Any head coach will feel tremendous pressure when faced with constant wins.
That is the deterrent power of Chang Sheng.
Facing such a king, a timid head coach would just surrender without having the courage to fight.
Because they believed that fighting was futile. Lazio at its peak could sweep the entire world of football, and no one in the world could match it. It was not without reason that they were called "Team Cosmos".
Even though Lazio has declined now, its reputation for winning is still there.
And looking at the performance of Lazio, the winning team this season, it reminds people of Lazio's most glorious moments.
Therefore, Manuel must constantly encourage himself and boost his morale. Only in this way can he have the courage to fight to the death with Chang Sheng.
Saying things that others seem arrogant can enhance your confidence, and at the same time, you can show yourself that you are desperate. If you don't behave better, just wait to be laughed at!
※※※
UEFA also has high hopes for Paris Saint-Germain in this game.
The previous obstacles were all eliminated by Lazio, but Paris Saint-Germain was eye-catching. They eliminated the defending champion Chelsea!
Di Matteo is an important member of the winning team!
This means that Paris Saint-Germain may have some experience playing against a winning team?
In short, UEFA has pinned its hopes on Paris Saint-Germain, hoping that they can stop Lazio in the final and break their dream of winning the Triple Crown.
Manuel showed such confidence before the game, which also made UEFA very happy.
They believe that Manuel has this strength.
UEFA never seem to consider whether they might trust the wrong person, even though they have made that mistake countless times this season...
※※※
The final against Paris Saint-Germain is finally here.
The Emirates Stadium was packed an hour ago, with fans from both sides and some neutral fans arriving.
Everyone began to wait impatiently for the game to start.
Paris Saint-Germain fans were also infected by their head coach's confidence, looking forward to the historic moment of the Paris Saint-Germain club.
Lazio fans have a somewhat complicated mood. Naturally, they are here to cheer for Lazio.
But at the same time, this is also the last game they can see from the winning coach Lazio.
No matter what the final result of this game is, after the game is over, Chang Sheng will have to say goodbye to them.
The joy of winning the championship and the sadness of parting are intertwined. I can't tell whether it is joy or sorrow.
