Chapter 189: What I Said......
When Tsunga returned to Roma with Lazio, the latest news from Inter Milan was that Moratti had agreed to Roberto Mancini's request to leave the club at the end of the season.
Then Inter Milan will be looking for a new manager.
But they already have a ready-made candidate.
This man is the Portuguese coach Jose who has been at home since resigning from Chelsea. Jose Mourinho.
It's a little different from the history that Chang Sheng knows.
In the time and space before the permanent victory, Mourinho was sacked by Roman Abramovich because he was unable to lead his team to a breakthrough in the Champions League.
Mourinho has already won the Champions League once, so his position at Chelsea is solid, but he left the team because he felt he could no longer work with Roman Abramovich. Two people with tough personalities and a strong desire to control cannot coexist together.
Coupled with the fact that he led Chelsea to the Champions League, the team also entered a period of decline, so he chose to leave.
In doing so, he preserved his reputation and left a perfect image for the Chelsea fans to continue to miss him after he left.
That's where Mourinho comes in.
Not long after Mourinho stepped down from Chelsea, there were rumours that a number of clubs were looking for him. Inter Milan is among them.
However, Mourinho did not agree to any of the club's demands and continued to stay at home.
Some say he almost went to Barcelona, but then there was a "disc gate". "It led to a complete confrontation between Mourinho and FC Barcelona.
So Mourinho has been resting at home.
Now that Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini is leaving at the end of the season, who will be the new manager of Inter Milan?
Jose Mourinho has become the favourite.
Chang Sheng felt that if nothing else, Mourinho would definitely return to Inter Milan in the end.
When the time comes, he will have to compete with this famous coach in that time and space in Serie A.
He's looking forward to it......

Round 32 of the league. Lazio beat Parma 2-0 away, while Inter Milan drew 0-0 away at Atalanta.
The difference between the two sides widened from eight points to 10 points.
Inter Milan were clearly influenced by Mancini's words, and in this game they did not run aggressively and looked listless.
There is no intention of trying to win.
After this match, Mancini did not say anything to demoralize the players, on the contrary, he was quite tough.
"There are six rounds left in the league and a difference of 10 is not a big deal...... We're still going to do our best! ”
After the game, a TV host complained about him: "The effect of saying this earlier is completely different!" Now say ...... It's late! ”
It was indeed late, and Inter's morale had hit rock bottom. They should be thankful that they were able to retain second place in the league. Now Mancini says so. Not only did it not improve morale, but it made the morale of the players even lower. Because they think their manager doesn't understand the situation - it's all ten points behind, and you still say we still have a chance?! Don't be our children who don't know anything!
Mancini probably didn't think that he could not surrender, and he could not surrender......
Anyway, the experience of coaching Inter Milan made him miserable.

Inter Milan has completely collapsed, and it is not the Inter fans who are most unhappy now. It is an AC Milan supporter, a journalist for the newspaper Sport Milan. Pacheco.
If Lazio do win three consecutive league titles, they will really become a dynasty. Even if the dynasty collapses this summer, they really existed.
And in all his previous articles, he has vowed that Lazio will not be able to achieve a dynasty, and that they will collapse in the last half of the season!
As a result, Lazio not only did not collapse, but after the crisis, it performed better!
He reported so much on the minds of the Lazio dressing room. But he didn't see any real players in Lazio......
Lazio are now on a spurt in the league and will also be hopeful of reaching the last four in the Champions League.
If this is called a collapse, then I am afraid that all clubs in Italy will collapse......
The truth is moving in the exact opposite direction to what Pacheco had predicted.
He was slapped in the face by reality.
Pacheco is now puzzled - why didn't any of the Lazio players jump out and fight with the winners? There was also a Nocerino before, but soon he fell silent.
If the players are afraid of the obscenity of the perennial victory. If you don't dare to come forward, why don't the players' agents keep quiet?
Aren't they profit-chasing creatures? There is no interest in Lazio, why don't they act yet?
Pacheco was not reconciled, he did not believe that his offensive would be so easily defused.
He still has to dig out more insiders. He's going to make Chang Sheng and his team unlucky!

Arsene Wenger spoke to a media outlet before Arsenal took on Lazio away to the game.
"It's a life-and-death battle. We're going to give it our all. It's not an easy task at home in Italy, but we eliminated AC Milan 2-0 at the San Siro this season. I think that might bring us some good luck......"
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who has already moved to Barcelona, is also cheering on his former team-mates at Barcelona.
"Lazio are good at passing, we have to start by cutting off their passes and do everything we can to force them to pass the ball ......"
On Lazio's side, Chang Sheng remained silent until the start of the game.
It wasn't until half an hour before the start of the game that the warm-up players returned to the locker room, and after a short break, they would return to the pitch to start the game.
The lights were turned off in the dressing room today, and the TV in the dressing room was playing last year's quarter-final penalty shootout.
"Jose. Passarella, who was the last Lazio player to take a penalty of the game, stood in front of the penalty spot...... "The voice of the Italian TV commentator echoed in the dressing room.
At first, everyone was quite confused - before the game started. Why did the Boss show us this video? Isn't that unlucky?
But when they started looking, they gradually fell into it. The valve of memories opened, and all memories of that game flooded in, drowning them.
They recalled that game.
When they stepped onto the Allianz Arena, none of them believed they could make a difference. It was a perennial victory, and their boss told them before the game: "When the whole world doesn't believe you, it's time to create miracles and go down in history!" ”
So they gave Bayern Munich a dismount at the beginning of the game.
It was a classic matchup.
Lazio and Bayern Munich are both pulling the strings out. In the end, they managed to drag the game into a penalty shootout.
Young Lazio also withstood the pressure in a brutal penalty shoot-out. Four free throws and four hits, and fought to the final round with the Germans, who are known for their nervous toughness.
If not Jose. Passarella slipped a kick......
TV screen, Jose. Passarella started to run.
Some people simply closed their eyes because they already knew what was going to happen next, and they really didn't want to watch this sad scene again.
Chang Sheng is next to the sub-TV. Where the light of the fluorescent screen could not shine, he observed everyone in the dark. He noticed that someone had his eyes closed, but he also noticed José. Passarella's eyes were wide at this moment, staring at the TV screen.
Finally, of course, there is no suspense, Jose. Passarella kicked the penalty into the air.
"Oh...... Oh-oh-! That's really ...... It's so dramatic! Jose has the best mental quality in the Lazio team. Passarella kicked the penalty off...... "Even the narrator's voice on the TV was incredible.
None of these players watched the game live – they were participants on the pitch. How could it be possible to watch a game in front of the TV? Even those who didn't play were on the bench, and those who didn't even make the squad went to the Allianz Arena with the team, sitting in the stands to cheer for the team. Winning the whole team away from home, that's his habit. In every away Champions League knockout game, he takes all the players away, which means that everyone has to stick together, regardless of the players who can play and those who can't.
This is the first time they've heard the Commentary today.
The narrator's voice is incredible. But in fact, their feelings at the beginning were incredible......
The narrator's incredulous voice faded away, and the screen slowly dimmed. Eventually, everything was calm.
Chang Sheng did not turn on the lights immediately, but continued to sit in the dark, and he spoke:
'Lazio are not a team that is good at playing in the Champions League, not all the time. Lazio's best result in the Champions League was the quarter-finals, and last year we were knocked out by Bayern Munich on penalties in a four-of-eight match. I still remember that game, we were held to a 2-2 draw at home, and we went away and we returned them a 2-2! But in the end...... "Chang Sheng's generosity mentioned earlier, when he arrived, his voice suddenly became low.
The mood of the players is also changing with his tone.
When he said, "Gone away and we returned them a 2:2!" When everyone's emotions moved. When he said, "But ...... in the end," everyone's mood went down.
"We lost that game in the end, remember what I said to you? We'll make a comeback! Yes, we will make a comeback! And we made a comeback so quickly! Nobody wants to get it, right? Then surprise them! Win one, guys, and you'll set a record in the history of a Lazio club - the best Champions League record! But we won't stop there, because our goal is to be the champion! ”
