Chang Sheng's first plan is to bring in players in the midfield position.

But for the time being, he hasn't figured out who to bring in.

There are a lot of midfielders and he needs to take into account all the factors.

As a result, at this time, someone took the initiative to come to the door!

Chang Sheng received a call from Barak's agent, Becker.

When Chang Sheng considered the midfielder, he never thought about Ballack.

Because he knew his team couldn't afford to pay Ballack the high salary.

At Chelsea, Ballack's annual salary is eight million euros.

This salary, in any case, Lazio cannot afford to pay.

So for those high-paid players, Chang Sheng never thought about it.

Unexpectedly, Barak's agent took the initiative to contact him.

Becker took the initiative to call Chang Sheng, naturally not to say hello to Chang Sheng.

He told Chang Sheng a shocking news.

"Mr. Chang, my player, Michel Ballack, I hope to join Lazio ......"

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "I'm sorry, I don't seem to hear ...... clearly."

"That's right, Mr. Chang, this is a very personal phone call, and I hope you don't tell the media about the content of our call. Because it's about my players, Ballack...... He hopes to be able to play for Lazio in the next two years......"

Chang Sheng's mind finally turned.

Ballack's agent reached out to Lazio in the hope that his players could join Lazio!

This is a bit of a fantasy......

Ballack's contract with Chelsea has expired, and now there are many teams interested in Ballack in Europe.

In Germany, it is said that two regional teams, Werder Bremen and Schalke 04, are interested in him, and Real Madrid are also very fond of Ballack.

How could such a player take the initiative to come to Lazio?

Chang Sheng was surprised.

He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Becker's gourd, but he was going to remind the other party.

He wasn't happy with the news. Instead, he frowned.

He wasn't sure if there was some conspiracy involved.

"But it can't be, I warn you, Mr. Becker. My team has a salary cap system, and we can't afford to pay you what you want. As everyone knows. The maximum annual salary for Lazio is now four million euros. And your players. Ballack, at Chelsea, gets eight million euros a year. ”

"Yes. I know very well that I thank you for your candor, Mr. Chang. But I and my players think that there are times. Money has to give way to football. ”

Becker said over the phone.

Chang Sheng didn't understand: "What do you mean?" ”

"Michelle is 34 years old and in his career he has won league titles, domestic cup titles, but only lacks a European Cup...... This is one of Michel's wishes, and he hopes to make it happen by joining Lazio......"

Chang Sheng's brain crashed again.

He really didn't expect Ballack to take the initiative to join Lazio. It turned out to be for this reason!

Since when has Lazio become the golden sign of the champions?

Can you come to Lazio and win the Champions League?

This Barak and his agent are too self-exalted, right?

"This ...... I'm sorry, Mr. Becker. The season has just ended and I don't know if my team and I will win the Champions League next season...... I think this reason is a bit too far-fetched......"

"Even if it doesn't work in the new season, what about the next season?" Becker said over the phone. "Michelle and I both have faith in you and your team. Other than that. Of course, that's not the only reason. Michelle missed this year's World Cup in South Africa because of injury. He has now set his sights on Euro 2012 and has two years to go, and he wants to be able to train and play at a high level and stay in shape. Because he still wants to represent the German national team in the European Championships. No team is better than Lazio, who have the best level of training in Europe, and every Lazio player, whether they are leaving or active, says the same. Michel asked these people, so he wanted to join Lazio. ”

Combined, these two reasons are much more decent.

There are many players who choose to leave when their former club does not renew their contracts in their careers, not for money, but to be able to train and play in a team that can play at a high level and maintain their fitness. Because they're still eager to compete in the World Series in a year's time, or two years from now. Even if it's not the main force, it's fine.

For example, Kaka was almost unable to play in Real Madrid later, why didn't he leave? Every summer he was rumored to be leaving Real Madrid, but in the end he stayed.

Why?

Just because he also wants to participate in the 2014 World Cup in his hometown. Only in a giant team like Real Madrid can you get sustained attention, and it is possible for the Brazilian coach not to forget him.

And......

Chang Sheng recalled the news about Barak in the past two months, and many media did mention this.

When Ballack's contract with Chelsea was about to expire, Ballack and his agent offered to renew his contract with the club and play at Chelsea for another two years, even if it was to significantly reduce his salary the following year.

They are here to be able to maintain a good level of competition ahead of the Euros.

Ballack is well aware that he is thirty-four years old and no one knows how long he will be able to play a good game.

Two years later, he was thirty-six years old.

At that time, if there is no particularly good competitive state, why should the national team head coach Loew recruit himself into the team?

Just because he's the old captain?

Forget it.

In the past few years of watching German football, there have been many new stars, and Ballack is really worried that he will not be able to do well, and he will not have his own place in the national team without waiting for the European Cup.

As a result, Chelsea Football Club still did not agree to his terms.

Chelsea are unsure if the veteran will be in good enough form for two years.

And Ballack's injury before the World Cup put him in a passive situation.

Chelsea have more reasons for the club to drop him.

Chelsea ultimately rejected Ballack's request for a contract extension, citing a "new fiscal policy".

So before 31 July, Ballack's Chelsea contract expired and he became a free agent.

※※※

Constant win on whether to let Ballack come to Lazio. Still a little hesitant.

The main thing is Barak's annual salary.

Generally speaking, players on free transfers have a higher annual salary because they don't make the club pay a transfer fee, so the club naturally has to "reward" the player. Add the part of the transfer fee they should pay to his salary. As a result, his salary will be higher than before the transfer.

It's higher than before the transfer, what is that concept?

Barak is now an annual salary of eight million euros, which is higher than that...... Even if it's only a million euros higher. That's also nine million euros.

This number is exaggerated.

Lazio's current maximum annual salary is four million, and it is impossible for him to give Ballack four million euros, because Ballack has just arrived in the team and has not achieved anything. Just give him the highest annual salary, what does this make the other heroes think?

Therefore, Chang Sheng thought that the wage requirements of the two sides would be too different, and did not make up his mind to bring in Barak.

※※※

Becker hung up.

Behind him, Barak asked, "How's it going, Misha." ”

Becker turned to Barak and shook his head: "He seems cautious and unwilling to make any promises lightly. He just repeatedly stressed that the expectations of the two sides in terms of annual salary will be very different...... Although I think he has a point......" Becker shrugged.

"With an annual salary of six million euros, Lazio is absolutely impossible to meet. Their maximum salary is now four million euros. ”

Barak heard this. Lost in thought.

After leaving Chelsea, Ballack and his agent Becker began to scramble for their next home.

They want to go to a high-level team without a salary dropping too much.

So the bottom line they set is six million euros.

That's a full two million euros less than when he was at Chelsea.

For Ballack, this is already a pay cut.

But here's the problem...... This is a far cry from Lazio's limitations. That's 2 million euros!

And they are also very aware of Chang Sheng's style of acting, and it is almost impossible to convince Chang Sheng to add two million euros to Ballack.

Chang Sheng and his boss Lotito are both picky.

Every penny, every euro, they all value it.

"Why don't we think about other teams? How about Real Madrid? Becker asked.

Barak laughed: "You also believe the media hype, Misha? Real Madrid has not existed since the first meeting. ”

Becker was also silent.

Yes, Real Madrid is nothing more than media hype, in fact Real Madrid has a low interest in Ballack.

"Then ......" After thinking about it, Becker said: "We go back to Bayer Leverkusen?" I think if you are willing to go back, they will also be willing to give you an annual salary of six million......"

This time Barak didn't speak, and he fell into deep thought.

It can be seen that the offer to return to Bayer Leverkusen is very attractive to him.

He is an iconic figure for Bayer Leverkusen, he is the captain of Bayer Leverkusen, and returning to Bayer Leverkusen is tantamount to returning to his roots. He can be respected and warmed there.

If you want to retire, Bayer Leverkusen is really an excellent choice.

But......

But is he really old enough to consider retirement for retirement?

At the age of thirty-four, in the eyes of many, his career is already going downhill. This is especially true after being swept away by Chelsea.

He should find a Kaizi who is willing to pay for the elderly. For example, go to the Middle East League, or go to the Major League League.

But he knows that he thinks he's in good shape and that he can continue to play well on the top stage of Europe for a few more years.

He had that faith.

Go to Leverkusen...... Although Ballack is a player from Bayer Leverkusen, he doesn't think Leverkusen can win the Champions League.

Even if it is the Bundesliga title, it will not be easy for Bayer Leverkusen to win, let alone the Champions League.

Now the only team with the best championship looks in Europe is Lazio......

Go to Leverkusen, get a high salary, enjoy respectful treatment, and retire.

Going to Lazio, sacrificing financial income, but having the opportunity to lift the European Champions Cup, he has a grudge for the rest of his life.

Which one to choose?

He fell silent.

ps: Thank you for the Perfect Law God's Chong Alliance, I should have sent it yesterday, but I didn't see the news of your alliance leader the day before yesterday. Because I can't find your reward in the background, I found your traces in the book review area yesterday. So I only have to add it today.
