……
For the media and fans, there are too many gimmicks in this Super Cup showdown. Winning home is just one of them, and the showdown between two personality coaches is another.
Last season, the two men were entangled in the league until the 34th round. It was not until Lazio defeated Inter Milan head-on that they secured the league title.
As a loser, Mourinho’s performance is also worthy of admiration and respect. Because he turned Mancini’s soft-footed crab Inter Milan into an iron-blooded teacher.
Mourinho must be unconvinced by losing to Changsheng in the league. Now he has such an opportunity to beat Changsheng in China in the Italian Super Cup, which proves that he is not worse than Changsheng.
However, the attitudes of the two coaches towards the Super Cup held in Beijing are totally different.
Rumor has it that Chang Sheng, who doesn’t like to come to China to participate in the competition, has no problem with going back to China to play the Super Bowl.
In an interview with a reporter from China, he said, "Bird’s Nest? It’s a beautiful stadium and I’m looking forward to this game. "
Where does this mean that you don’t want to go back to China?
What he said was a rumor. People didn’t mean not to want to go back to China for the game. Those Chinese media who used this reason to win the game were stupid this time, right?
Mourinho, on the other hand, doesn’t like going to China very much.
In Mourinho’s view, it is completely unnecessary to go to Beijing across the ocean just for a Super Cup. It is the Italian Football Association that sacrifices the interests of the team for commercial interests.
In addition, he is worried about whether there is a high-level competition venue in that part of Beijing. In his mind, China, whose football level is poor, may not even find a football field that meets the requirements of FIFA.
So in June, he flew to Beijing specially to inspect the venue of Beijing Bird’s Nest Stadium, especially the turf.
He must see it with his own eyes and step on it with his own feet before he can rest assured.
This uneasy attitude is very obvious.
However, Changsheng has no such worries at all. On the one hand, he is from China. It is clear that when China wants to concentrate on one thing, it will be more perfect. The Bird’s Nest is the highlight of Beijing sports, and the quality of the venue is naturally no problem. After all, this game is not sponsored by the China Football Association. If it is the China Football Association, I am afraid that the winners will have to fly back to inspect the quality of the turf …
On the other hand, he is a passer-by, and he is well aware of the venue of this game. For holding a super bowl, that’s no problem at all.
Worry about the quality of the turf in the Bird’s Nest, it is better to practice the team well.
In any case, as a Super Cup game, he must fly to Beijing more than 8,000 kilometers away to play, and the influence on the team does exist. He should try his best to minimize this influence.
……
On August 4th, the Lazio team boarded the plane from Rome and flew to Beijing. After a journey of 8,145 kilometers, they landed at the Capital International Airport.
Historically, the Italian Super Cup in 2009 was really held between Inter Milan and Lazio.
At that time, Inter Milan was the league champion and Lazio was the Italian Cup champion.
However, at that time, the popularity of Inter Milan was more prosperous, and Jose Mourinho was also the darling sought after by the media and fans.
Lazio is much better than that.
Now the situation has changed.
Because in the past few years, Lazio’s performance and achievements have been very strong, and there are many stars who are popular with fans, in addition to Chang Sheng, a famous coach who is quite popular in China. So this time, Lazio’s people overwhelmed Mourinho and Inter Milan.
Although there are more fans in China and Inter Milan …
More than 300 China fans greeted Lazio at the airport.
There are nearly one hundred journalists.
Media from all over the country and even all over the world have appeared here.
When Changsheng and Lazio came out, the scene was filled with cheers.
More than 300 fans wearing blue Lazio jerseys shouted together: "Lazio! Lazio! "
Of course, the name of the winner is also indispensable.
Lazio players waved to these enthusiastic China fans despite their tiredness.
Perhaps because their boss is a China, they are very kind to China fans.
This is in stark contrast to the previous visit to Inter Milan.
At that time, when Inter Milan arrived in Beijing, more than 200 China Inter Milan fans went to welcome them. Facing the cheers of these Inter Milan fans, the equally tired Inter Milan players were expressionless, went straight to the waiting bus and left the airport.
Lazio fans got a response from Lazio players.
Chang Sheng also waved to China fans and journalists frequently.
