Yun Sheng was in a bad mood today, and everyone in the locker room could see it.
Although there are still more than ten minutes before the start of the game, there is something wrong with the atmosphere in the locker room now.
Del Piero and Buffon looked at each other without speaking, both feeling a little confused.
Just before the warm-up, Yun Sheng was joking with everyone about the Champions League. Why is his brow furrowed now?
Looking at the players, Yun Sheng was silent for about a minute before slowly speaking.
"Last year, after a Coppa Italia match, Ranieri made fanatical remarks. At that time, he was still the coach of Juventus. I think you all know this matter, and I don't want to go into details. Just on the side of the court, Ranieri spoke rudely to me again, even with some racial slurs. I didn’t argue with him. That’s what happened.”
Everyone in the locker room was silent. No one expected Yun Sheng to speak his inner thoughts so frankly and without reservation.
It is precisely because of this that everyone has a higher regard for Yun Sheng's character.
The team is lucky to have a head coach who treats people sincerely.
As the captain, Del Piero spoke first. He stood up and looked at Yunsheng seriously: "Sir, I swear to you, when Ranieri said those words last year, he only represented his personal opinions and shared his opinions with Juventus. The club has nothing to do with it. In fact, after that incident, there were many voices of dissatisfaction with him in the team. In the end, he left Juventus, which also had something to do with this incident. No one will be willing to work with a head coach who does not respect people. get along."
Buffon also stood up: "Sir, what Del said is absolutely true. Many of us here participated in that game and heard Ranieri's remarks. The vast majority of us expressed indignation at that incident. ! We have many fans in China. Ranieri’s words have damaged the relationship between us and the Chinese fans. It is unforgivable!”
Looking at the two captains and deputy captains, Yun Sheng's expression softened a lot. He motioned for the two to sit down, and then said calmly: "Guys, if Ranieri just criticizes the strength of Chinese football, then I won't say anything. After all, it is a fact that the overall strength of the Chinese team is insufficient. But he should never despise and slander China!"
"Before, he ridiculed the unfair referee as a Chinese, and now he said that I won the championship because I left China early. This is absolutely intolerable to me! The reason why I don't want to argue with him is that I want to let the results of the game speak for myself. !”
"Roma is now ranked in front of Juventus. If we win this game, then we will become fourth in the Serie A standings and enter the Champions League. As you just said, we hope to win the Champions League, so now we are the best What needs to be done is to squeeze into the Champions League first! You must win this game! For yourselves!"
"In addition to the team level, this game is also a contest between me and Ranieri. If I want to prove the strength of the Chinese people, then I must shut up this arrogant person who does not know how to respect others! Winning the game is The best way to slap him hard and shut him up! I hope you can help me win this game! Earn my dignity! Please guys!"
The Juventus players who left the locker room had a lot of chills on their faces. Even when they saw their national team teammates who were also in the tunnel, they just nodded slightly and no one was in the mood to chat more.
The Roman captain and deputy captain, who were standing at the front of the team waiting to appear, chatted curiously.
Totti looked at his good friend Del Piero in the national team and saw that he was not looking away and had no intention of chatting with him.
"What's wrong with this guy today? Is he in such a bad mood?"
Vice-captain De Rossi next to him whispered: "Did Yun Sheng criticize them in the locker room, so they were in a bad mood?"
Totti frowned: "Is it possible? Train the players before the big game? Isn't this too demoralizing?"
De Rossi continued: "It is possible. Didn't our head coach just say that Yunsheng comes from a country with poor football, and the championships he has won are just luck."
After hearing this, Totti shook his head: "Daniele, I don't agree with Ranieri's words. I recognize his coaching level, but I don't appreciate some of his remarks. For example, some time ago, he said that Asians It's not suitable for sports at all, they should do math problems. I think this is going too far."
"And why he just slandered Yun Sheng in the locker room was not because of his contempt for Chinese people. When he was coaching Juventus, he once made similar fan-Chinese remarks, which almost caused big trouble."
"Yunsheng has won ten championships in three years. Can this be won by luck? This is nonsense!"
After hearing this, De Rossi nodded: "Francesco, actually I don't agree with Ranieri's statement, but he is now the coach of Roma, and we can only stand on his side for the benefit of the team. But having said that, why do you think the expressions of Juventus players are so serious and abnormal?"
Totti looked at Del Piero beside him, and then at Buffon and Trezeguet behind Del Piero. He whispered: "Maybe these guys are gathering strength now."
"Why are you accumulating strength?"
"Gather up your strength and wait for a while to fight with us?"
"I guess, it's true or false..."
In the tunnel, the players whispered; in the live broadcast room, Di Livio and Vieri were chatting.
The match between these two teams today has different meanings for Di Livio.
He is a native of Rome and has played in the Roma youth teams. However, because he was not appreciated by the Roma club, he was kicked around like a ball by the Roma senior management, and he was bounced around in the lower leagues.
In the end, it was Juventus who took him in and gave him the chance to become a star.
He got the No. 7 jersey of Juventus and won 1 European Champions Cup, 1 Toyota Cup, 3 Serie A championships, 1 Italian Cup, 1 European Super Cup and 2 Italian Super Cups. During the 6 years he played for Juventus, he grew from an unknown boy to a well-known Italian star, full of honors.
Even now, his feelings for Juventus are still very deep, and Juventus fans also treat him as one of their own.
Looking at the two teams off the field, Di Livio didn't say much today.
Although Vieri is usually carefree, at this time he also knows how to make mistakes and will not bring up old things easily and make the old guys around him sad.
Before the live broadcast started, he asked curiously: "What kind of result do you want to see in today's game?"
Di Livio had a calm expression and said slowly: "If Juventus wins, I will cheer and applaud them; if Roma loses, I will sigh sadly for them..."
