After Chang Sheng refuted the rumors, the news about him going to Real Madrid to coach gradually disappeared from the media.
However, some people felt sorry for him.
"That's 100 million euros..."
"Chang missed the opportunity to create history. If he would nod, he would become the most valuable head coach in the history of world football... But now, football is missing a crazy record."
"Chang resisted the temptation and chose to stay in Lazio. This is good news for Lazio fans. And Real Madrid fans? They don't have to worry anymore..."
While this matter was fermenting, Lazio played in the sixteenth round of the league, and they drew with Udinese 3:3 away from home.
It was obvious that the entire Lazio team was affected by this incident. Their minds were not in the game, as if they were afraid that their boss would leave them.
They were lucky to draw 3:3 with Udinese in the end.
At the same time, Inter Milan defeated Chievo 4:2 at home.
The point difference between the two sides narrowed from three points to one point.
Inter Milan seems to have regained hope.
Mourinho used a victory to prove that his team is not so easy to be knocked down.

After playing the game, without even taking a break, the whole team rushed directly to the airport and took the nearest flight to Tokyo, Japan.
They are working so non-stop to participate in the Club World Cup.
There are quite a few criticisms about the Serie A schedule.
He previously hoped to postpone the sixteenth and seventeenth rounds of the league until next year, so that Lazio would have enough time to cope with the Club World Cup in Tokyo, Japan.
However, the Italian Football Association is only willing to postpone the seventeenth round of the league and not move the sixteenth round.
And even if the seventeenth round is postponed, it will not be postponed to next year, but to the afternoon of December 24th... This is the last game of the 2008 Serie A.
But this is of no use. Lazio will be in the Club World Cup semi-finals on the 17th and the final on the 21st.
What about the league?
The fifteenth round is the highlight of the match between Lazio and Inter Milan at home. The game lasts for seven days. The tenth day of the week is the last round of the Champions League group stage. The thirteenth day is the sixteenth round of the league.
Then there’s the Club World Cup on the 17th.
The schedule is very intensive.
In order to avoid injuries and excessive physical exertion, Chang Sheng had to use a lot of rotation.
At this point in the league, only half of the games have been played, and the physical energy stored in the summer has almost been used up. Coupled with the cold weather, if the players do not warm up enough, they will be more susceptible to injuries.
In order to avoid such a situation, Changsheng can only rotate.
He was angry with the Italian Football Association for refusing to postpone the league, and also attacked the Italian Football Association. He claimed that the Italian Football Association is a professional league, but the Italian Football Association is very amateur!
This naturally attracted criticism from Italian celebrities and hype from the media.
It also makes many people tired of winning all the time.
But Chang Sheng doesn't care what these negative dogs think.
He went to Tokyo, Japan, filled with resentment.
You must get this Club World Cup, otherwise how can you get it if you go all the way in vain?
So when setting off from Leonardo da Vinci Airport in Rome, Chang Sheng told the media with a murderous voice: "We are not traveling to Japan, there is nothing interesting there. We are just here to win the championship!"
As a result, reporters who were worried about the world's chaos twisted Chang Sheng's words into an attack on Japan. It was no fun to say that he insulted Japan...
There are also media outlets that emphasize Chang Sheng’s identity as a Chinese, meaning that it’s no big deal for Chang Sheng to insult Japan. The Chinese have a feud with the Japanese, so Chang Sheng intentionally insults Japan.
Anyway, while Chang Sheng's plane was still flying over the Asian continent, Guan Chang Sheng's words had already been stirred up by the media in Italy, China, and Japan.
The most important feature of the Internet age is the accelerated speed of information dissemination.
In addition, another characteristic based on this is the large number of rumors.
After a piece of news has been processed and transformed by various communicators, what is finally presented to the vast majority of people must be completely unrecognizable.
So Chang Sheng's words were eventually twisted into a completely vicious and humiliating speech, and then went viral on the Japanese Internet.
Of course, none of these Chang Sheng knew about it.
He said this at the time just because he was dissatisfied with the Italian Football Association's schedule.
So the Club World Cup naturally became an important target for him to vent his anger.

When Lazio's so-called plane landed at Tokyo Narita International Airport, the reporters all flocked to Chang Sheng, but they were not asking the question whether Chang Sheng would return to coach Real Madrid. This question was over. They were asking Chang Sheng.
Will Katsu consider apologizing for his insulting remarks about Japan?
"There are Japanese fans asking you to apologize for your anti-Japanese remarks. How will you respond..."
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this question.
"What did I insult Japan for?" he asked.
"You said Japan is a boring country..."
Chang Sheng interrupted the other party: "Are you sure that's what I said?"
The other party was a Japanese female reporter. She was not in Italy at the time, so naturally she didn’t know what Chang Sheng said specifically.
But she thought, the meaning was always the same.
This was her first interview with Chang Sheng, and she didn't understand Chang Sheng's style at all.
Although the female reporter opposite was quite pretty, Chang Sheng had no sympathy for her at all. He looked at the reporter with wide eyes, and then said: "What I said is that we didn't come to Japan for tourism, and Japan doesn't
It’s nothing interesting. Why do you think Japan is a boring country?”
The female reporter hesitated and was left speechless by Chang Sheng's rhetorical question.
Chang Sheng has also been full of evil spirits recently.
First of all, he was inexplicably involved in the Real Madrid incident, and his family was also given a false alarm.
Secondly, when teams from other countries compete in the Club World Cup, the country’s football federation fully supports it. When it’s Lazio’s turn, the Italian Football Federation insists on being a pig-like teammate.
Chang Sheng wanted to vent.
He finally found a breakthrough in this hesitating female reporter.
He continued to say unceremoniously: "My original words are my personal opinion. I personally think that there is nothing interesting in Japan. I am a Chinese, and for me, there is really nothing interesting in Japan. I am
To be honest, when did it become an insult?"
After saying that, Chang Sheng walked away without paying any attention to the Japanese reporters' questions.

That night, what Chang Sheng said during an interview at the airport was published in newspapers, television and the Internet.
His behavior at the airport was rated as "arrogant and rude" and "barbaric and uneducated" by the Japanese media.
Such an evaluation is very harsh.
Coupled with Chang Sheng's special status, there was a lot of criticism against him on the Japanese Internet.
Some radical Japanese netizens even asked the Japanese government to deport Chang Sheng and not allow him to come to Tokyo to lead the team in the Club World Cup!
On Japan's famous online forum 2ch, there are many comments like this.
This matter spread to China, and some people claimed that Chang Sheng was used to being arrogant, and now he finally knocked down an iron plate in an international dispute! Can some things be said randomly?
What other experts on international political relations have criticized Chang Sheng for speaking out and undermining the stability of Sino-Japanese friendship...
In addition, there has also been a debate on the Chinese Internet about what Chang Sheng said, that is, do Japan and China have many similarities? Is Japan really a place not worth visiting?
If Chang Sheng sees this kind of argument, he will definitely feel that they are really idle...
I just said it casually, and you guys gave me the outline and put it online...
What kind of diplomatic dispute? What kind of historical and cultural connotation...
Do you want to be so sensitive?
You say that the Japanese have a glassy heart, but you Chinese people are just making noises about it. What is this?
※※※
Chang Sheng ignored the clamor from the Japanese media for him to apologize and continued to lead the team in training the next day and appeared in front of the public.
But this time, there were more Japanese fans who came to protest.
Chang Sheng turned a deaf ear to the protests of these Japanese fans.
When facing reporters, he also seemed very arrogant. He basically used his nostrils to deal with those Japanese reporters.
As one of the most successful head coaches in world football today, and the youngest and most promising head coach, he has reason to show his superiority in front of reporters in Japan.
At the player level, China is not as good as Japan, but at the coaching level, he is the only one who has always won, and he can completely defeat all coaches in Japan. You have local coaches in Japan who have led their teams to win the European Champions Cup in Europe, and they have won two European Champions Cups.
Is that true? Do you have any local Japanese coaches who coach club teams in Europe and win league championships every year?
No?
No. Then I can feel superior in front of you!
A reporter asked him to talk about Lazio's opponent Gamba Osaka in the Club World Cup semifinals.
Chang Sheng fully demonstrated his arrogance.
"I'm not familiar with Gamba Osaka, not at all. But it doesn't matter. I believe in Lazio's strength. As long as we play our own football, there will be no suspense in this game."
In fact, what he said is quite right. Based on the strength comparison between Lazio and Gamba Osaka, there is no suspense in this semi-final. Lazio will definitely advance to the final. There is no need for Lazio to be too obsessed with the opponent in the semi-final, any European champion.
When you come here, your eyes will definitely be on the Copa Libertadores champion team. The host team is just here to make up the numbers.
However, if the recent controversial figure Chang Sheng speaks in such a tone, it will inevitably make the hosts feel uncomfortable.
And it's very uncomfortable.
The Japanese can accept Europeans and Americans being arrogant in front of them, but when a Chinese is arrogant in front of them, they feel strange.
This sense of strangeness makes them feel even more humiliated. When will the Chinese be able to show off their power on our territory?! (To be continued...)
