Chapter 221: Volcanic Ash (First Update)

After the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Lazio have two league games left in the league, and in the 37th round of the league, Lazio took on Livorno away.

Among Lazio's sworn enemies, Rome counted one, and Livorno counted one.

Because Lazio is a right-wing team and Livorno is a left-wing team.

This is a contradiction in political concepts.

But after the unteachable faction was killed by Lazio, the contradictions between the two teams faded considerably.

In the past, it was the unteachable who kidnapped the team to promote their political ideas.

They brought the Nazi flag into the stadium in another match and openly promoted Nazi ideology because their opponent in that game was Livorno. The Incivilizers claimed that they did this because Livorno brought the ** flag into the stadium first, and in response, they could only bring the swastika flag......

But this shows how uneducated the unteachable is......

Now that such an organization has been determined to be "illegal", no one cares about politics.

There is also a lot less non-football content in this game.

It doesn't matter what kind of thing is right or left, a football game is a football game, and any consideration he makes is only from a football point of view. It will not be because of Livo's post-80s Shaolin abbot.

This game is often won and the main players are rested.

A number of reserve players and substitutes were brought in.

If the Indoctrination were still around, they would certainly angrily denounce Chang Sheng as a left-wing lackey in their "North Stand Voices."

Now...... No one said that.

This is not to ask the post-80s Shaolin abbot of Livo to open up. The purpose of Chang Sheng's doing this is simple, to give the players as much rest as possible.

Their tactical success had exhausted Barcelona, but they themselves were not feeling good.

Lazio's players gritted their teeth and insisted in the end, but they didn't let Barcelona see it.

If you don't rest, Lazio is estimated to be about the same as Barcelona.

And next week it's Lazio's turn to go away. Always win also have to be prepared, in case the impact of the Icelandic volcanic eruption has not passed, and the flights continue to be grounded, then your own team will also have to take a bus to Barcelona, which has a very obvious impact on fitness.

Barcelona, known for its physical fitness, was also a bit overwhelmed by this kind of long journey.

Chang Sheng now has to be glad that his opponent is Barcelona and not Moscow's team, otherwise it would have been a bus ride...... When will it be......

Because of the rotation of all players, Lazio were forced to draw 1-1 away from Livorno.

But this result Chang Sheng didn't care at all.

Anyway, the league championship has already been won, and he can't care about the results of the last two rounds.

At this time, he was only in charge of the Champions League.

The Champions League results are in first place, and the rest have to be sidelined.

It's not just the constant win that doesn't care about this game. Even Lazio fans don't really care about the match against Livorno.

Now everyone only has the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona on their minds.

None of the other games are important except for this one.

You know, when the media touted Barcelona and belittled Lazio, it was not only the constant wins that were unhappy. And that includes the Lazio fans.

They have long wanted to teach Barcelona a lesson.

The first leg made Lazio fans raise their eyebrows and feel refreshed.

But they also know that the semi-finals are two-legged. If Lazio can't knock Barcelona away from home. If they are eliminated by Barcelona, then the previous media praise of Barcelona and the disparagement of Lazio will really be realized on them.

So at this time, the semi-finals are more important than everything.

No Lazio fan would want to be ridiculed by the media.

During this time, Changsheng paid attention to the weather conditions and the subsequent development of the Icelandic volcanic eruption.

The Icelandic volcano after that eruption. There is no further eruption, so at least there is no need to worry about new ash heading south.

But will the ash that now hangs over Europe be dispersed?

Chang Sheng doesn't know.

Eventually, the good news came, the ash gradually dispersed, and the airspace of European countries was opened. Flights from Italy to Barcelona are finally working as normal!

As soon as the news broke, the media throughout Italy cheered, and it seemed that people who cared about volcanic ash were not just always victorious.

Indeed, the sudden volcanic ash plunged the whole of Europe into chaos, which is the most important and concerned event in Europe today.

Two days after the eruption of the Icelandic volcano, 17,000 flights were grounded! You must know that there are 22,000 flights a day in Europe. The airspace of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries has been completely closed, which naturally has also had a considerable impact on football matches.

The European competition is naturally the first to bear the brunt, Barcelona Luna and Lyon can only be forced to call a bus to play away games, Lyon to Munich is more than 700 kilometers, Barcelona to Rome is more than 1,000 kilometers!

In addition to European competitions, domestic leagues in many countries have been affected, especially those with large areas......

For example, the hapless Marseille team, whose flights were suspended due to volcanic ash and a general strike by French railway workers, had to take a fourteen-hour bus ride from the south of France to Away Brun near the Strait of Dover in the north, a total distance of 1,034 kilometers.

Fortunately, Marseille still won the opponent 2:1 with a penalty in stoppage time and continued to lead the standings with a five-point advantage. Marseille Sporting Manager Agnego took the opportunity to educate the players, "This kind of long journey may make the players more sympathetic to our fans, because they often go to away games like this. ”

Lineker, the BBC's anchor for Match of the Day, also joked about volcanic ash before the start of the day's show, and he had a reason to do so, because the ash also harmed the football legend. Before the incident, Lineker was on vacation with his girlfriend and children on the southernmost island of Tenerife in Spain, and he had to return to London to do a show, so he had no choice but to catch a small plane from Tenerife to Madrid, and then hire a car to cross the border to Bordeaux, France. Then hop on the train to Paris and finally take the Eurostar undersea tunnel train back to London in a thrilling journey of 3,683 kilometers!

The impact of the volcanic ash on the game was seen by everyone in Barcelona's away game against Inter Milan.

Naturally, the Italians don't want to repeat the mistakes of Barcelona.

Barcelona's physical energy is so fast, I have to say, it has to do with the long journey of 24 hours.

If Lazio also had to take a bus to the away game...... I'm afraid you're going to face the same problems as Barcelona.

Fortunately, the effects of the ash have finally receded.

Lazio can fly to Barcelona.

In fact, Chang Sheng has long known that after the away game in Barcelona, the volcanic ash will disperse.

But that's what he remembers.

He wasn't sure if things would turn out this way on this plane.

With the experience of the two meetings with Manchester United, Chang Sheng no longer believes in his memory. Who knows if God will come up with a new trick?

In fact, he was ready to let the team take the bus to the away stadium if he couldn't do it.

I didn't expect God to not fight him this time.

Could it be that he defeated it twice in a row and made it cower and retreat?

That's good!

The ash has cleared, which is good news for Lazio, but Barcelona is gritting their teeth with hatred.

They had also hoped that Lazio would be like Barcelona. Being able to only take the bus to play away games is a big impact on their fitness. Barcelona is all about work. Don't say 2:0 at home, 5:0 is fine!

As a result, the ash was dispersed in the second round!

When it was Barcelona's turn, volcanic ash appeared. And when it was time for Lazio to travel long distances to play away, the ash was gone......

Some Barcelona fans even suspect that Chang Sheng borrowed high-tech weapons that can control the weather from the Chinese side, specifically to deal with Barcelona...... How else to explain the problem of volcanic ash that is so beneficial to Lazio?

In order to win or lose a game, even high-end weapons that can manipulate the weather have been brought out...... This has to admire the imagination of others. This line of thinking is really not an ordinary broad......

After Guardiola returned to Barcelona, apart from Cruyff's displeasure, the other Catalan media did not criticize Guardiola, who was much more receptive than Cruyff.

They are busy with only two things: first. Exonerate Pep Guardiola and tell everyone that Barcelona was defeated by Lazio away, not a crime of war, but due to the weather. If we hadn't traveled more than 1,000 kilometers because of the ash, we wouldn't have lost the race.

The second thing is to call on the Barcelona fans to go to the stadium when the time comes.

"We're going to fill up the Camp Nou, which can accommodate more than 100,900 people! In the next Wednesday, let's show our strength to the enemy here to the fullest! Let's be the best twelveman in Barcelona! It's a decisive battle, and we're going to fight back! The team needs your strength! ”

In order to enhance the effect, the media changed the ridicule of Chang Sheng at the post-match press conference and replaced it with "ridicule of Barcelona" to provoke the fans' hatred.

Chang Sheng's vitriolic words were marked in red and bold by the Catalan media, and the key points were drawn out, for fear that the fans would not find the same.

They vowed to let Chang Sheng see the power of Barcelona at Camp Nou, and the power of the Catalan nation!

Even the Spanish government has to be polite to us, why are you a little coach, why are you arrogant in front of us?

You're killing yourself!
