Historical review of Lazio
I like Blue Eagle, perhaps because of her century-old history, perhaps because of her past glory, perhaps because of her tragic reality. But anyway, we came together. In the Apennine Peninsula, there is such a soaring blue eagle, and in the far east, there are a group of people who love her, which is enough. I often think of that proud history: I left the title of the last Italian Cup Winners' Cup there forever, and then reversed Juventus to win the league title. The slogan "Dye the whole Europe blue" especially echoes in my ears, as if it was just yesterday, and I can't forget it. Once upon a time, the whole of Europe was talking about blue change. What an honor!
Lazio club with a history of 100 years was developed from a track and field club. 1900, Luigi Villadi founded a club under the name of Lazio Region, where the capital Rome is located. Out of admiration for the sacred Olympic movement, the founder set the blue and white colors of the Greek flag as the symbolic colors of the club. After the establishment of the club, the first competitive competition was the 20-kilometer walk. It was not until 1907 that their football team took part in the championship for the first time, beating Luca, Pisa and Rivono in the Togno di Pisa Cup to win the championship. With its dominant position in the local football circle, Lazio won the first place in Serie A in the 1929- 1930 season, but at first it could only wander in the middle and lower reaches. It was not until the season of 1934- 1935 that the "Blue Eagle" won the fifth place under the leadership of legendary shooter silvio piola. 1936- 1937 season, lazio launched the first challenge to the champion, and kept strong pressure on the defending champion Bologna, but in the end it fell short, and Piola won the runner-up by three points.
Like many other teams, Lazio first made a difference in the Cup. 1958 Italian Football Association Cup, Lazio was in high spirits and easily qualified with Rome, Palermo and Naples. Later in the semi-final, Lazio beat Juventus 2-0. In the final against Florence, Lazio star Prini scored a stunning goal to help the team win the first championship since its establishment. But in the league, Lazio is still an unknown junior, and it has never been able to compete with strong teams. Three years later, they finally paid the price for their lack of progress. In the long season, they only won five games, with the total score of 18 at the bottom, and fell into the second division.
It wasn't until the end of the season 1968- 1969 that Lazio returned to the first-class arena as the champion of the second division, but after only two seasons, it was relegated again. At this time, striker Chinaglia, who joined 1969, stepped forward and sent the team back to the first division immediately with a goal of 2 1. This time, Lazio learned its lesson, began to realize its own shortcomings, abandoned its past ambitions and sense of regional superiority, and took every game seriously.
1972- 1973 season, newly promoted Lazio unexpectedly won the third place in the league, which greatly boosted the team's morale. In the following season, the "Blue Eagle" launched fierce competition with Juventus and Naples. The three teams compete with each other in the standings, and the process of winning the championship is extremely cruel. Since the seventh round victory over Cagliari, Lazio has won a crucial six-game winning streak, especially in the ninth round, when the home team defeated Napoli (Chinaglia scored) with 1:0, which gave a fatal blow to the opponent and has remained at the top of the list ever since. Although the two opponents have never relaxed the pace of catching up, Lazio is slow and steady, and has never given their opponents a chance. 18 round, Roma Lazio 25 points, Juventus 23 points. Although Anastasi scored a goal for the visiting team, goals from Garlaschelli and Chinaglia sealed the score at 3:/kloc-0:. In the 24th round, the zebra, who was 4 points behind, hoped that Naples would kill the Biancocelesti at home. However, Lazio, full of resilience, remained calm despite falling behind three times, and finally scored a valuable point with Chinaglia's hat trick. At the end of the season, Lazio scored 43 points with 18 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses, and beat "Zebra" by two points, thus winning the Serie A championship for the first time. Lazio region is boiling, and the whole country is surprised by the rise of the team. Someone commented: "When people no longer regard them as a strong team, they have mastered the trick of winning the championship."
After the peak, it was a trough. After winning the championship, the team began a hard journey. In the European Champions Cup match against Ipswich England, UEFA kicked Lazio out of that year's Champions Cup due to the riots of fans after the match, and issued a ticket banning him from participating in European competitions for one year. Chinaglia, known as the "lucky star", went down to the North American Football League in one fell swoop, which made Lazio worse. However, the doom is not over yet. 1979- 1980 season, both lazio and AC Milan were caught in a match-fixing scandal and both were relegated to the second division, which made them the targets of ridicule, and even the fans of Rome, the arch-enemy in the same city, ridiculed lazio. At that time, Rome won the league title under the leadership of Brazilian star Fa Erkao and others, while Lazio had to struggle in the second division.
In the team's most difficult time, another savior came, and he was Cragg Notti. At first, people were not optimistic about his acquisition of such a hopeless team, thinking that he was joking with his own money, but cragnotti was firm in his goal, and he firmly believed that he could turn Lazio into a real soaring eagle. 1988, taking advantage of the expansion of Serie A from 16 to 18, Lazio was lucky to return to the first division. In the 1990s, Cragg Notti made a lot of money in the transfer market and acquired a number of hot stars at that time, including gascoyne, Boksic, Riddle, Winter, signori and others. After two years of dormancy, since the 1992- 1993 season, Lazio has maintained its position in the top five of the league, thus becoming one of the top teams in Serie A, and it can hold its head high in the face of Rome.
At this time, the status of the Blue Eagle in European football has also improved a lot. They often take part in European competitions. At that time, head coach Zeman was an advocate of offensive football. His advocacy of "attack is the best defense" is refreshing in Italian football, and Lazio's game is also full of appreciation. Signori won the top scorer three times in four seasons, which is also a proof of the team's offensive play. Unfortunately, Cragg Notti is going to win the championship after all, so he later withdrew Zeman's coaching position, bought a number of stars such as Vieri, Salas, mikhailovich and Nedved, and even hired head coach Eriksson and striker Mancini, the pillar of Sampdoria. 1997- 1998 season, lazio won the Italian cup, including Naples, Rome, juventus and AC Milan. In the next season, they will go all the way to the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup. Thanks to the goals of Vieri and Nedved, they won the final Winner's Cup. In the domestic league, Lazio, always proud of the spring breeze, suffered a severe blow from batistuta in the penultimate round. It was only in Florence that it was surpassed by AC Milan, and finally it was runner-up by only one point. Since then, Salas helped the team win the European Super Cup by defeating Manchester United, which was in full swing at that time.
Cragnotti's transformation of the team has achieved results, and the "Blue Eagle" fighters' desire for the league title is also increasing. During the 1999-2000 season, the whole team of Lazio was eager to win the league title as a centenary gift of the team. Lazio have the best squad this season: Nesta, mikhailovich, Mancini, Nedved, Stankovic, Veron, Inzaghi, Rembado, Salas, Conceicao and Almeida pancaro. A long list of famous names, such as Favali, Negro, Cotto, Ma Erkai giani, Simone and Lopez, have propped up the wings of the "Blue Eagle" champion. Their main competitor is Juventus. 1 1 round, the two teams met for the first time, and finally the two sides shook hands and made peace. In the 28th round, Lazio, a guest in Turin, was 6 points behind and could not lose again. Argentine midfielder diego simeone's goal helped the team get all three points, which also kept the suspense for winning the championship. Many times in history, the lessons of falling short warned Lazio players that they must fight against the terrible stability of zebras with tenacious willpower. Before the last round of World War II, Juventus still maintained a two-point lead, but the "Blue Eagle" soldiers did not give up and still beat Reggina 3-0. Their unremitting fighting spirit has been favored by the goddess of fate. Because Juventus capsized in the rain and unexpectedly lost to Perugia,
Due to management mistakes, players such as Drapena, Stam, Mendieta, Giuliano Grazioli, fiore, Colladay, etc. were continuously introduced in the depressed environment, and the Noti family in Cragg experienced a financial crisis in 2002. Since then, in order to alleviate the economic crisis, Lazio has no choice but to sell players, and even sold the star and captain Nesta to AC Milan. Even so, the club still failed to get out of the predicament. However, Lazio have not lost their aggressiveness and sincere unity. In the 2002-2003 season, the young coach Mancini led the "broken" mother team to win the fourth place in the league and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. The following season, they won the Coppa Italia and finished sixth in the league.
In the summer of 2004, former oil magnate claudio lotito took over Lazio Club and saved it from the brink of financial collapse, but it turns out that Lazio's problems are far from being solved. During the term of former President Cragg Notti, Lazio evaded taxes by 654.38+065.438+070,000 pounds. With Lotito's efforts, the club and the tax authorities reached an understanding on this tax: the national treasury exempted the sanctions against Lazio and only charged 2.5% of the benefits, equivalent to 33 million euros. As a result, the total debt of Lazio Club has been reduced to 65.438+0.4 billion euros, which can be paid in installments over 23 years, less than 6 million euros per year. However, the government offered to use the Vermelot training base and future income and sponsorship fees as collateral.
Since last season, two people in Rome have fallen into ruin. After losing many main players such as Lopez, Stam, Stankovic, Favali, fiore and Colladay, Lazio can only rely on veteran Di Canio, Empoli striker Rocchi and other players who have returned to Serie A to conquer the world. Although they are not afraid of relegation, they have also dropped out of the top teams and even missed European competitions. In Italy, apart from the three traditional powerhouses, Juventus and Milan, no other team can always be at the forefront. The "Blue Eagle" has experienced ups and downs in history, and this time it may be another trough. I don't know when I can fly again.
Although the Blue Eagle has declined for economic reasons in the past two years, we have not been depressed because of it. People who really love Lazio will not care about this, but will only strengthen their beliefs. Even if we don't win the championship and have no glory, she is still our love. It is reported that Nesta misses the days when they wore the Biancocelesti shirt. Although the team almost collapsed, everyone worked hard and almost created a miracle. Maybe this is a miracle. In order to make the club have enough money to register in Serie A, the stars should be sold, but they still have successors. Even if they are not famous, they are still Lazio, and they are still fighting bloody battles on the whole. This season, the Biancocelesti hired coach Rossi and brought players such as behrami, Tare, ballotta and Mauri. So far, the team is unbeaten at home, ranking in the middle and upper reaches of Serie A and is gradually picking up! Cesar left yesterday. Please don't blame him. Everyone has his own interests. As long as we still love the Blue Eagle, trust her, support her, look forward to her recovery and wish her well, then everything is no longer important. Remember one sentence: a blue day is a blue life.
