Lazio's first training session at the Chongming Island Football Training Base attracted the attention of more than 1,000 fans and hundreds of journalists.

In addition, Xu Genbao also gathered all the teams of East Asian clubs that did not have a game task and went to the training ground to watch the training of high-level European football teams.

Lazio did not continue to do any physical training, and after a simple recovery training, they began tactical training.

Three new additions to the squad are among them.

The popularity of Ballack and Klose in China has attracted a lot of non-Lazio fans for Lazio.

The team trained on the training ground, and the fans on the sidelines cheered from time to time.

Many Lazio players are accustomed to the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans, having experienced the same scene when they went to Beijing for the Super Cup last year.

So they weren't distracted by the fans on the sidelines, they were training very seriously.

Lazio also did not modify their training plans just because there were onlookers, arranging some intra-team group matches and other activities that fans like to see.

That evening, the entire Lazio squad attended a charity dinner hosted by their advertising sponsor on their chest, at which Lazio jerseys and memorabilia were auctioned, with proceeds going to the impoverished mountainous areas of the west to support the schooling of children there.

The days of training in China were very busy for Changsheng.

Because he can't affect the training of the team, his business activities are all seamless, and after the morning training, he has to rush to the center of Shanghai to sign a contract and attend a press conference.

After an event. Then rush to the next event location.

Generally, after two activities, he has to rush to Chongming Island.

Rush back to preside over the afternoon training.

After the afternoon training, the evening was dedicated to business.

In order to make money, he went back and forth. Tired.

It's good not to drive yourself. Otherwise, he might have fallen asleep while driving.

Lotito was also very busy, during this time in Shanghai. He frequently attends events, meets with business partners, and meets with some Chinese government leaders.

They discussed various matters to attract investment.

In Lotito's eyes, China is now what Mark Polo described. There is gold everywhere, and there are opportunities to make a fortune everywhere.

However, his most important goal is to bring in construction funds for his new stadium, which is in the design stage.

Although Lazio made 100 million in the transfer market this summer, this money cannot be said to have been invested in the construction of the new stadium.

The day-to-day operation of the Lazio club also needs money.

Not to mention, Lotito's unremitting efforts really made him a partner......

A Chinese consortium is interested in taking a stake in Lazio FC, and they promise that if the stake is successful, they will help Lazio contact a company that has quality assurance in China. There is also a credible engineering company to help Lazio build the stadium, because it will be the number one project of the Chinese construction company in the European sports project, so the Chinese side should not ask too high a price, and they want to make the stadium a model project for Chinese construction companies in Europe.

At that time, Lazio's new stadium will be made up of three parts of funding. Part of it is the Lazio club's own investment, part is bank loans, and the rest is the injection of funds from the Chinese consortium.

However, the two sides only have this intention now, and the specific details of cooperation are still being discussed.

Lotito didn't know if it would work out in the end, but there was hope.

And Lotito is willing to choose a Chinese engineering company because the Chinese are very efficient, if the stadium is handed over to an Italian company to build, it may take four or five years, but if it is replaced by a Chinese construction company, it may only take three years to put it into use.

For Lazio, the sooner the new stadium is put into operation, the better, which means they can recoup their investment sooner and start making a profit.

As for the quality problem, Lotito is not worried, this is a model project, who would joke about the model project?

Moreover, Chinese companies will do their best when opening up overseas markets.

So don't worry about building too fast and having quality problems.

Didn't you often say, the famous Great Hall of the People. From the design drawings to the installation and commissioning of all the decoration and equipment from the inside to the outside, it only took more than nine months.

Now that fifty years have passed, isn't it okay?

The key is whether Chinese construction companies can take the project seriously.

That is, the depth of cooperation.

After three days of intensive training in Shanghai, Lazio played a match against Shanghai United at the Shanghai Hongkou Football Stadium.

Shanghai United is mainly a team composed of players drawn from three professional football teams in Shanghai to challenge Lazio.

However, all three teams have different minds.

For Shanghai East Asia, which is competing in the Chinese League, they are most interested in this game, because first of all, the two clubs are cooperative clubs, so they naturally have to play the game. Secondly, for Xu Genbao, his players can compete with the top teams in Europe in the game, which is a rare learning opportunity, and such an opportunity must be grasped and not perfunctory.

The other two teams don't think quite the same.

Shanghai Zhongbang is the weakest in the China Second League, and they can't select any representative players, so they have the mentality of playing soy sauce from the beginning.

And Shanghai Shenhua, the leading boss of Shanghai football, intends to treat this as a show.

Shanghai Shenhua's owner, Zhu Jun, even plans to make a cameo appearance in this match.

But it was rejected by the Lazio side - in fact, it was mainly Chang Sheng's refusal.

Although it is a commercial game, it is also a warm-up game for the team in the preparation for this summer, and it needs to be taken seriously.

He didn't want Zhu Jun to play to attract attention, but it affected the team's warm-up effect.

After Zhu Jun's request was refused, Shanghai Shenhua's attitude became more cold, and they only selected a few marginal substitutes to join the team on the grounds that the team still had to play in the Chinese Super League. The excuse worked perfectly. Because it will be the eighteenth round of the Chinese Super League in three days, it is understandable that they want to say that it is more important to prepare for the Chinese Super League.

In this way, it is said that it is the Shanghai United. In fact, it is mainly based on the players of the Shanghai East Asia team.

Some media and fans regret and regret that Shanghai Shenhua did not send the main players to participate in the game.

Think this will cause the excitement of the game to suffer.

But Chang Sheng felt that it didn't matter.

Shanghai Shenhua may think that they do not have their main players. This game will be less watchable and there will be a lot less suspense.

He always wins, but he doesn't buy their account.

It's a warm-up game anyway. It doesn't matter who the opponent is, he wishes that the opponent was all East Asian players.

A reporter raised the issue at the pre-match press conference, and Chang Sheng showed everyone his arrogance, shrugging his shoulders and saying, "It doesn't matter. It's all the same. I don't think Shanghai Shenhua can make the game more exciting, or more suspenseful by sending the main team to participate - sorry, the word suspense makes me laugh. It's a business game for you, it's a warm-up game for me. It's the same for whoever the opponent is. ”

His words, of course, would have upset some people. Especially the supporters of Shanghai Shenhua, but he is telling the truth.

Even if the opponent in this game is Shanghai Shenhua, the opponent is the main player. Then go all out and that's how it goes......

The gap between the teams that won the European treble and the second place in the Chinese Super League - which is still temporary - is indeed huge.

Chang Sheng then praised the East Asian football team and said that several players in the East Asian team have the quality to play in Europe.

This kind of contempt for Shenhua. But praising East Asia's approach is actually Chang Sheng's riposte to Zhu Jun.

Make a face for Lao Tzu? You're not qualified yet!

※※※

Chang Sheng's words were passed on to Zhu Jun's ears, which naturally made him very unhappy.

But what can be done if you are unhappy?

People don't have him, his influence is useless to Lazio, and it's useless to win constantly.

And it's impossible for him to send someone to slap Chang Sheng's face anymore. That would be the first to slap yourself in the face.

Still, he was able to figure out a way to fight back.

The next day, it was reported that Shenhua hoped that Xu Genbao, the head coach of Shanghai United and the chairman of East Asia Club, would limit the playing time of Shenhua's players and try not to play more than 45 minutes. They don't want players to waste their energy in inconsequential commercial matches, while also increasing the risk of injury.

Obviously, this was Zhu Jun's idea.

He felt that by doing so, he was embarrassing the organizers and causing problems.

He made it clear that he would not give face to Lazio and Chang Sheng.

This approach has naturally been criticized by some media, thinking that it is too petty, and it is the team's marginal substitute, and it is usually difficult to even enter the squad.

Of course, there are also media to speak for Shenhua - this is naturally all about money - they think that it is a commercial competition anyway, and the club is right to maintain its strength in the Chinese Super League, and no one can blame Shenhua for doing so.

If it were a foreign manager, maybe Lazio would not say anything and would not be involved in this topic.

But Chang Sheng is Chinese, and he knows very well the mess of Chinese football.

He also knows Zhu Jun very well.

It's just a little family, there is no reason or excuse, it's just a chicken belly.

So Chang Sheng countered in an interview with reporters: "I also think this is a good idea, we can't bury the hope of the Shenhua team to win the championship because of a commercial game, if these players are injured in the game, or physical exhaustion, causing Shenhua to lose this year's Chinese Super League championship, then we will become the enemy of Shanghai fans." So otherwise, Shenhua Club will call back these players of their own, so that they don't have to worry about this problem. And we can play a serious game and not think about all the mess. I'm serious, really, no one cares if they come to the game anyway, and I'm sure the vast majority of the fans are looking at Lazio and not their 'important players' who can't even fit in the squad. ”

Chang Sheng's face is slapping.

A commercial game that makes both sides smell gunpowder, which is really rare in the world.
