Chang Sheng did not feel sorry for the fact that he had given up a deal worth 41 million euros, even though he had never been exposed to such a lot of money in his life, not even in Getafe.

Because he is well aware of the outcome of this transfer deal.

But he still got a call from Pitage.

Chang Sheng smiled bitterly, why did he not deal with the club manager every time......

Although Pitage on the other end of the phone seemed very excited, Chang Sheng warned himself not to be too impulsive this time, and there was something to say well.

He believes that with a slight explanation, Pitacci will understand what is going on, because Lazio's decline is visible to all the discerning, even though they won the Serie A title a season ago and qualified for the Champions League last season.

But anyone who understands economics knows Lazio's problems.

How long can a club that has no hematopoietic ability at all and is supported by the investment of big bosses last?

What's more, Cragnoti's company, Chirio, also has a problem. So how long can Craniotti last?

In fact, Chang Sheng has always wondered how such a shrewd person as Llorente could have been deceived by Lazio......

"It's simple for me to reject Lazio, Mr. Pitacc. Because I don't believe Lazio can afford to pay a transfer fee of $41 million. If they weren't offering sky-high prices, I might still believe their offers. Chang Sheng patiently explained to Pitage on the phone.

Pitage wasn't an idiot either, and he recovered from his initial grievances. I think what Chang Sheng said does have some truth.

Because he had also heard more or less about the poor liquidity of the Lazio club, it seems that Cragnotti had also borrowed some money from his own Ciglio company to give it to the club......

If that's the case, it's a question of whether Lazio FC will have the financial resources to buy Mendieta.

"So you refused because you were afraid that Lazio would not be able to afford the money? But you always have to give money, right? Once the transfer agreement is reached, they will have to pay...... "Pitacci is still a little hesitant and skeptical, after all, 41 million dollars, who is in front of him. No one can be calm, and they are reluctant to give up just like that.

Chang Sheng smiled: "Have you forgotten that there is such a thing as installments, Mr. Pitage?" Pay a portion of the down payment upfront. The remaining balance is then paid in instalments. But can they really afford it? When the time comes, they will have no money, and the people will already be theirs, and we will even take the lawsuit to court. It didn't work. Even if people lose, no money is no money, and they still can't get a penny. Of course, they can also offer to use the players to pay off the debt. But their players we don't necessarily need, and they don't necessarily value that much money. Besides, if you want their players, you have to pay them salaries. At the end of the day, we didn't get a penny back, and we had to pay two more players' salaries that didn't help us at all......"

Hearing Chang Sheng say this, Pitage was still silent. He had to admit that what Chang Sheng said was right, but there was a trace of obsession in his heart, and he was unwilling to give up easily.

Chang Sheng guessed a little from the silence on Pitage's side.

He had to say, "Okay then." Mr. Pitage. If you don't believe me, we can do an experiment. You can agree to Lazio's offer and then let's see what they do next...... If nothing else, they will definitely propose to pay in installments. By this time, I would like to take your eyes on you, Mr. Pitage. Don't you see any problems? ”

Pitage came back to his senses from his hesitation, and Chang Sheng had a point.

Just have to see if Lazio will choose to pay in installments to know if they really have money. $41 million is a lot, but if you don't get it, it's just a string of meaningless numbers.

Pitacci is not willing to take a risk, if he is really cheated by Lazio, then in the end the responsibility will have to be borne by himself. Because Chang Sheng can say that he has rejected Lazio's offer. I called myself to force this transfer.

For myself, this can be considered a stain......

Thinking of this, Pitage also understood what to do: "Very good, Chang, you are doing well." Then you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter, I'll know what to do. ”

Chang Sheng's reminder helped him avoid a possible risk, and his tone and attitude were much better than when he first called.

I used to have an attitude of "indifference", but I began to become friendly......

※※※

Through this matter, Chang Sheng felt that he couldn't let these people be too leisurely, and he still had to find something for them to do.

First of all, he had to be fully prepared. What if Craniotti has a brain cramp and really pays the transfer money in one lump sum?

So do you sell Mendieta yourself?

Sell!

Of course sell!

At this time, what tactical position, what core captain, and what influence are almost like air in Chang Sheng's mind.

That's 41 million! Or dollars! At this time, the United States had not yet suffered the 911 terrorist attacks, and the dollar was still very strong.

With this money, with the foresight of the victorious traverser, it is not a problem at all to build a luxurious fleet.

So if Mendieta is really going to be sold, even if this possibility is very small, Chang Sheng must have a plan.

What if Mendieta is gone, the team's strength on the right flank will be weakened?

Chang Sheng had a few ready-made candidates in his mind - it was too simple, he remembered Valencia's entire squad later, and it was not a problem to buy it.

If Mendieta is leaving, then he will decisively take out Rufit. Rufit is not a well-known wide player at Valencia, but he is hardworking, tactical and low-key, and he likes it all often.

And it turned out that he did a good job in Valencia.

Ready for Mendieta's departure, Chang Sheng is ready to trouble someone again.

He remembered that Mendieta's transfer deal was handled by Llorente.

He couldn't understand how someone as shrewd as Llorente could make such a mistake. It can only be understood that he was indeed carried away by the sky-high price of 41 million US dollars.

Now, in order to prevent him from exerting influence in this transfer tentative operation, Chang Sheng decided to transfer him.

Didn't he say anyway, if you need help, just call him.

You're welcome to win often.

※※※

The next day, Chang Sheng went to Llorente first.

Then he handed him a copy of the player's profile and told him that he had a crush on this person. I hope he can help with it.

Llorente looked down: "David. Villa. Sanchez? Who's this? ”

He didn't know anything about this player.

In fact, I don't blame him for his poor business.

At this time, Villa was still staying at Sporting Gijón, and he only played one game for Sporting Gijón in the second division last season and did not score. Last season. He played thirty-five games in Sporting Gijón's reserve team, Sporting Gijón B. There were thirteen goals. But at this level, it's hard to get noticed.

In fact, it was during this season that Villa became the main striker for Sporting Gijón, scoring 18 goals in 40 appearances. In the 2002-03 season, he continued to play in La Liga as a regular player, making 39 appearances and scoring 20 goals.

It took him two seasons of performance to win the favor of the first division team, and he was taken away by Zaragoza of La Liga for a transfer fee of 1.5 million euros to start his journey to fame.

Before that, he was a complete nobody. There may be very professional scouts who will know about him. But most people don't know anything about him.

Chang Sheng pointed to the information and said: "As you can see, a striker of Sporting Gijón. ”

"But we've got enough strikers......"

"I'm not already decided to bring Zakhovic and Diego. Is Alonso listed? ”

Llorente stopped talking. Zakhovich and Diego. Alonso was a natural seller, and they didn't do well last season.

He nodded, "Okay, I'll go and bring him back." Is there anything else? ”

Chang Sheng shook his head: "You go, Manuel." Hurry up. I'm afraid we'll want to bring him to Mestallha when we're late, but it's going to be difficult......"

Llorente pouted in his heart, and said in his heart that what is so rare to bring a nobody to Mestalla? Valencia was able to take a fancy to him, and it was David. Villa. Blessings for Sanchez!

Although he thought so, he still did not dare to slack off, and immediately decided to go to the city of Gijón in northern Spain.

The atmosphere at the top of the club is actually quite good. Since Chang Sheng has the right to transfer, then he has the right to transfer them, and no one has any complaints. Even if Chang Sheng spent so much money to buy basically unknown players, the club's top management still trusted him.

There was a lot of criticism in the media about Chang Sheng's recruitment, but the club's president, Otti, never approached Chang Sheng to ask him what was going on.

It can be seen that he trusts Chang Sheng.

The president of the club trusts Chang Sheng so much, what can't he trust Llorente?

At the end of the day, both sides have just signed a contract and are full of good hopes for the future, the league has not started yet, not a single game has been played, and the cruel reality will not hit the beautiful illusion of longing.

So, they are also in the honeymoon phase with each other.

※※※

After Chang Sheng explained everything that should be explained, he remembered that he had to explain his tactical thinking to the players at the beginning of today's training, so as to facilitate the players to understand his training intentions and alleviate their resistance.

By the time he arrived at the training ground, most of the players were already on the training pitch and some players were coming out of the dressing room.

They had apparently received the news from the captain Mendieta, and when they arrived at the training ground, they did not rush to start warming up, but stood in groups of three or five and waited on the training ground.

When Chang Sheng appeared on the sidelines of the training ground, all eyes were on him.

There were a few people who didn't look very good.

Chang Sheng saw Mendieta in it, and he threw it away. Finding himself here in Mendieta, his prestige has become.

He reckons that the agent has told Mendieta that he had rejected Lazio's offer.

But now he didn't care about comforting Mendieta, or persuading Mendieta.

He's definitely not going to make a loss-making deal.

Mendieta cannot be sold, or absolutely not sold, to Lazio.

Wait until everyone is assembled. Rudy. Gonzalez stepped forward, motioning for everyone to warm up with him.

But he was stopped by Chang Sheng, and then he looked at Chang Sheng strangely with a "I have something to say" posture.

"I know the intensity of these two days has caused a lot of people to complain. I don't want to stress to you the nonsense that modern football fitness is the foundation. "Chang Sheng scanned everyone, and was constantly activated.

Originally, the initial status of reputation was 1500, and when it reaches 3000, it can be upgraded to friendly.

But now, many people's reputation numbers are down from the initial figures.

The degree of decline varies.

It seems that if he does not correct the psychology of these players. This prestige will continue to fall, fall to indifference, and then go to the bottom of hostility.

Today's remarks must be made.

As for how much of a role it can play......

When the time comes, both soft and hard will be applied.

Chang Sheng has heard it said that Valencia's dressing room has always been "the most complicated dressing room in Spain". After Koeman became the head coach of Valencia, at the instigation of Soler, the chairman of the 205, he made the wrong choice of "countering violence with violence". A butcher's knife was raised in the locker room. The dismissal of the three captains - Albelda, Canizares and Angulo - in one fell swoop, shocked the whole of Europe.

However, this harsh rectification did not bring new life to Valencia, but instead left the team in a quagmire and completely collapsed. In the end, Soler had to resign, and Koeman fled with the scolding of countless Valencia fans.

So Chang Sheng is very clear that for this dressing room, simply copying the one in Getafe does not necessarily work.

He needs to use the soft one first.

Move with emotion and know with reason.

It's really not going to work hard.

Although he has Getafe's coaching experience, he found that he basically didn't need it when he came to Valencia, so he still had to find out on his own.

OK. He has the experience of future generations failing, so he can still learn from some experience. If it weren't for Koeman, maybe he would have chosen to fight violence with violence......

When the time comes, such a scathing comment will have to fall on him......

"If there is a Golden Raspberry Award in the football world to be selected, the winner will undoubtedly be elected with a high vote."

Seeing that basically every player was staring at him, Chang Sheng continued:

"The intensity of the training is very high. I know that too. I don't know about the other teams, but I think we can train in the top three in the first division, so maybe that's fine. But I'm not a sadist, and I'm not interested in seeing you tired like dead dogs. So the question is, why do we need to torture ourselves so hard before the start of the season? To be honest, for a manager who is new to the team. I have a lot of options, like I don't do anything, just to let you continue your training program, and I think I might be able to make a good impression on you. I know you're feeling a little upset with me right now, but why am I doing this? It's simple, because my tactics require you all to have great fitness. ”

"My predecessor, Coach Cooper, used his counter-attacks to get you to the Champions League final for two seasons in a row, and I think he's taken his counter-attacks to the extreme. But why did you make it to the finals and not win the championship? If any of you know anything about me, you should know that when I was in Getafe, I also played defensive counter-attacks. But I'm not going to transplant my defensive counter-attacks to you. ”

A group of players forgot that they wanted him to reduce the intensity of their training because they were looking for Chang Sheng's junior high school, and began to listen to Chang Sheng's tactics.

Because it's so fresh, no manager has ever said so much to them just two days into pre-season.

It's not yet the tactical training stage.

And they found out that this young Chinese is not talking nonsense, he does have something.

He won the Second Division title and the Copa del Rey last season by defending against the counter-attack, and everyone knows that.

Now there are still local media in Valencia who swear that Chang Win will definitely continue his defensive counter-attacking tactics in Valencia, and a lot of evidence has been put forward to prove their correctness.

For example, the defensive counterattack often wins the most familiar and proficient himself, and he has won the league championship and the Copa del Rey championship with this, which is considered to be evidence of success, so why does he need to change his very mature tactics?

In addition, Valencia is also good at playing defensive counterattacks, with constant wins, isn't this a typical defensive counterattack combination?

What else can they play besides defending and counter-attacking? Is it difficult to play offensive football?

Don't be funny!

Now hearing Chang Sheng say this, he doesn't plan to transfer the defensive counterattack to Valencia, and many people are stunned.

Including the coaches behind him, only Rudy. Gonzalez wasn't surprised.

Because when he saw this physical training plan, he more or less guessed a little.

An interesting smile appeared on his face, and he waited to see how Chang Sheng would convince the men to accept his training plan.
