Chapter 102 The champion that is not rare (guaranteed)
Lazio and Naples, who returned to Italy, also played a friendly match.
Because Cavani is in this team.
Chang Sheng wanted to observe Cavani's performance up close.
In this warm-up match, Cavani played halftime, but did not perform very well.
He has just arrived in Italy. He has gone from the familiar Uruguay to the unfamiliar Italy. From the language to the living habits, he needs to adapt again. He has not even integrated into the team yet...
Chang Sheng is not in a hurry.
Even if Naples doesn't give him good training, he is not afraid. After one or two seasons, he will take it back and invest in various training skills. If Chang Sheng wins, he will not believe whether Cavani's ability will improve.
So Naples doesn't care how they use Cavani.
It's just stored in Naples for the time being.

At the beginning of August, the results of the second trial of the Italian Professional League regarding the "Calciopoli" incident finally came out.
Juventus was deprived of two Serie A titles in the 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 seasons.
The league championship in the 2004-2005 season was vacant and was not given to second-placed AC Milan. The league championship in the 2005-2006 season was given to Lazio, the second-placed team in the league.
This is equivalent to Chang Sheng sitting at home and winning a league championship for nothing...
In addition to deducting two championships, they were also punished for being relegated from the second division in the new season. Not only that, but points were also deducted.
The league hasn't started yet, so 17 points will be deducted.
Everyone starts the new season with zero points, but Juventus is minus 17 points!
An additional fine of 120,000 euros was imposed. Three home games were deprived of qualifications. Former club general manager Moggi and former chairman Giraudo were prohibited from participating in any football-related matters for five years.
Fiorentina will continue to compete in Serie A in the new season, but will be deducted 19 points in the new season and 30 points last season. It will lose its European qualifications, be deprived of two home games, and be fined 100,000 euros. Club President Andre Grava
Le is prohibited from participating in football-related affairs for three years. The club's honorary president and owner Diego Della Valle is prohibited from participating in football-related affairs for three years and nine months.
AC Milan retains the qualification to participate in the Serie A in the new season, but eight points will be deducted in the new season, and 30 points will be deducted last season. Last season, AC Milan ranked third in a row, with a final score of 84 points, and now it will deduct 30 points.
, there are only 54 points left. With 54 points in the original league standings, we can't even reach the UEFA Cup.
But the situation is different now. Juventus, the first in the league, was punished and relegated to Serie B. Fiorentina, the original fifth in the league, was also fined and deducted 30 points. So there are some changes in the current standings. Where is AC Milan?
You should judge based on this latest change.
Now the first place in the league is Lazio with 93 points, the second place in the league is Inter Milan with 80 points, and the third place in the league is Roma, which was originally sixth, with 65 points.
AC Milan was deducted 30 points and ranked fourth with 54 points - they still clung to their Champions League qualification for next season...
Chievo is fifth with 52 points, and Palermo is sixth with 49 points. These two teams can be considered a big advantage.
I didn't expect to have the opportunity to participate in the European competition, but I ended up getting a UEFA Cup qualification for nothing.
Roma also qualified for the Champions League, which was an unexpected surprise.
Of course, this is not the final verdict.
Juventus, AC Milan and Fiorentina have all appealed the result.
They will appeal to the Italian Court of Arbitration for Sport.
But this cannot change the new ranking in the league standings.
Because the final ranking of the league last season must be determined, only in this way can it be determined which Italian teams can participate in the Champions League and UEFA Cup competitions in the new season.
Although Juventus was very dissatisfied with the Italian Football Association's decision to deprive them of the league championship for two seasons and filed an appeal, it was to no avail.
UEFA has warned the Italian Football Association that if they cannot determine the final ranking of last season, then all Italian teams will not be able to participate in the European competition in the new season, whether it is the Champions League or the UEFA Cup.
This would be a devastating blow to Italian football.
The Italian Football Federation will never allow this to happen.
So even if Juventus doesn't want to, it won't help.
According to this latest ranking, Lazio, who was originally second in the league, became last season's league champion.
To outsiders, Lazio was as if they were being hit by gold bars falling from the sky while sitting at home.
Anyone else would be so happy that they would go crazy, right?
League champion!
The honor coveted by so many teams came to Lazio so easily.
You must be happy to win often, right? In his first season at Lazio, he helped the team win the league championship... How amazing is this!
Everyone feels that Lazio should be grateful and cheering for the Italian Football Federation's decision.
But the actual situation is not like this.
When the news was announced, the response from Lazio fans was average.
No one took to the streets to celebrate the league championship.
Not only that, some people also shouted the slogan: "We don't want such a dirty champion!"
This made Lazio club president Lotito feel strange. He originally thought that Lazio fans who longed for the league championship would definitely welcome this arrangement.
Just like him.
Lotito has no mysophobia and is happy to see the club finally win a league title under his management.
Being able to enrich the honor room of his club is the goal of his hard work.
But the fans' reaction surprised him.
What surprised him even more was that Chang Sheng also made it clear that he would not accept the championship.
"This really surprises me, Chang. I thought you didn't care about those things like me..." Lotito spoke on the phone, her voice a little surprised.
"I know what you want to say, Mr. Chairman. I do not have mysophobia. But there are some things that have nothing to do with mysophobia. I just don't want this feeling of being given alms. Have you seen what is said in the media outside? Everyone is
A posture of 'Lazio should be grateful for this championship and thank the Football Association for this decision'. But why should we do this? Just because the Football Association gave us this championship? If the championship is obtained this way, then I would rather not. We
We don't need this kind of charity to win the championship. Not to mention that after we accept this championship, we have to argue with Juventus. They will not think that they have less honors because of the regulations of the Football Association.
We have won two league championships... We want to win the league championship, but we must be an upright and undisputed league champion. Juventus wants this kind of championship now, so go ahead and take it, I don’t care.”
Chang Sheng explained to Lotito on the phone.
"But I'm sorry, Chang. I think we are not qualified to refuse to accept this championship. The Italian Football Federation has informed me that we must accept this championship and must not leave the championship vacant. Because UEFA will punish us...if we don't
Accept it, then we will not be able to participate in the Champions League in the new season. And the Football Association has already planned to send all the championship trophies and medals..."
Hearing what Lotito said, Chang Sheng rolled his eyes: "Okay, whoever wants it can take it. I don't want it anyway."
※※※
Chang Sheng kept his word, he really didn't want the gold medal representing the Italian Serie A championship.
Other gold medals were given to every player.
When the gold medals were distributed, Chang Sheng stood nearby and watched each player happily take away their own gold medal.
Even the coaching staff has one.
There is still no permanent victory.
"Chang, this is yours..."
Chang Sheng waved his hand: "Whoever wants a double share, give it to him, I don't want it."
The championship trophy given by the Football Association is placed in a prominent position in the center of the honor room. Next to it are two other championship trophies, one on the left and one on the right.
These are two of the few championship trophies in the history of the Lazio club, won in the 1973-1974 season and the 1999-2000 season respectively.
Now this is the third one.
Lotito stood in the honor room, admiring the championship trophy shining brightly under the spotlights with great satisfaction.
As a century-old team, Lazio only has three league championships. This can explain why Lotito hopes to win this championship so much.
Counting this, there are only three league championships, which is really disproportionate to Lazio's current reputation.
So what if this championship trophy is a charity from the Football Association? Even if Juventus is unwilling, the official record of the league champion in the 2005-2006 season is Lazio, not Juventus.
Seeing that his boss was very satisfied, the administrator of the honor room, whose salary was not high, breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not easy to work now, the salary is not high, and you have to wear multiple hats... If he didn't really love Lazio, he would have left long ago.
After looking down and seeing the gold medal in his hand, the administrator felt worried again.
He raised his arm and showed it to his boss: "Chang insists on not wanting this... What should I do, Mr. Chairman?"
Lotito then turned his attention from the championship trophy to the administrator's hands.
"This..." He also felt that this matter was difficult to solve.
If you don’t win often, the gold medal cannot be returned to the Football Association.
Leave it in the club, where can I put it?
His eyes started to move around, and then his eyes suddenly lit up - he had an idea!
He pointed to an open space and said to the administrator: "Put a cabinet here and put the gold medal in it."
The administrator looked at Lotito in surprise, what kind of arrangement is this?
The club's honor room is where the club's trophies are kept. I've never heard of the head coach's honor being kept...
Lotito ignored the administrator's surprised look and continued: "Then put a label and write on it...well, just say, 'The common champion, the Italian Football League 2005-2006 season'. Just
Let’s do it, you go and do it.”
Lotito nodded, pleased with his creativity.

Later, the cabinet really stood up in Lazio's honor room. Under the transparent glass cover, quietly placed the gold medal that should have been a winning streak.
The winner's name will not be engraved on the gold medal, but there will be a label next to it to remind everyone of the story behind the gold medal.
Later, this gold medal became a famous attraction in the Honor Room of Lazio Club, and all tourists who came to visit the Honor Room would choose to come here.
Stop and watch, and then think about the gold medal and the words on the label next to it - what was the reason that made him determined not to receive this gold medal in the first place?
There are even people who have written articles to analyze from various angles why Chang Sheng does not want this gold medal and does not accept this championship.
Maybe it's some kind of metaphor, maybe it's a silent protest, maybe it reflects Chang Sheng's ideals...
This gold medal became famous, and more people came here. They didn't even come to see Lazio's honor, they just wanted to see this gold medal with their own eyes, which has many symbolic meanings.
A poet even wrote a poem for this gold medal.
This is what this poem is about.
"you
Lying quietly in the glass cover
accept everyone's attention
They point fingers at you
You were silent
don't defend yourself
There is a lot of speculation
there are many rumors
You accept praise from everyone
Also withstand malicious attacks
…
This persistence is ridiculous
but
also
only you
Understand the meaning of persistence and
value
because
This is
often
A rare champion."

PS, often
Don’t care about the championship

No
Rare monthly pass
so
Everyone has a ticket
Just please
cast
Give
I!
Thanks
Thanks!!
