Chapter 173: Cooperation

When the players were called up by Chang Sheng, everyone knew that he would talk about the latest events.

But I can't think of how he will explain it to the players.

Later, when I heard Chang Sheng tell them that it was impossible for the club to increase the salary budget, so the maximum salary could not exceed two million, many people's hearts were cold.

They suddenly felt that there was no point in continuing to fight on this team.

My performance in Lazio is at least three or four million euros a year, and at worst more than two million.

But in Lazio it can only be like this, and there is no hope at all.

What is the need for such a team to stay?

Champion?

We've all won the league once...... No, twice.

This one really doesn't appeal anymore.

Maybe there is still a chance to win the Champions League with the giants.

Performance in the league and performance in the Champions League really can't be equated. AC Milan played like that in the league last season, and they didn't win the Champions League?

So, even if Lazio are dominant in the league now, it doesn't mean that they are just as dominant in the Champions League.

If you leave Lazio, you may be able to win the Champions League and achieve a breakthrough.

Who would have thought that at this time, Chang Sheng suddenly threw out the goal of "Champions League champion"!

A group of people didn't react in their brains and looked at Chang Sheng.

"Maybe you'll think I'm making a promise. But I suggest you take a closer look back at the years you've followed me, and see if I've said I didn't do it. Starting with Getafe, I did what I said and it became my signature. Chang Sheng continued with everyone's surprised eyes.

"That's exciting enough, isn't it? Even if you want to leave, you have to take this championship and then leave. Because it will make you more valuable. will get you a better salary. If you're worth three million euros a year now, maybe once you win the Champions League, then you can justifiably ask for five million a year. ”

"Think about it, members of the Champions League-winning team! What a remarkable achievement! Just fight for the last half of the season! You have nothing to lose, and you may end up with huge returns! There's no better deal in the world, and it's a great deal! ”

Winning is like a demon. The players who are tempting him to follow him for a big deal.

"Do you need to give anything? No, you just have to train as you normally would, like you did in the first half of the season. Then just wait for the accolades! ”

In fact, Changsheng is still the same old-fashioned, glory and dreams.

However, this time the glory was changed to a larger, more golden, and more attractive.

The Champions League is indeed more attractive than the league title, and it is more worth paying for.

Of course, he said this without any guarantees. Who believes his word?

But his players just believe it.

Because he has proven time and time again that he is worth believing.

When he first arrived at Lazio, everyone knew what Lazio was like, even those who didn't play here at that time, they all knew it later.

The rapid rise of Lazio, which is about to go bankrupt, is written by Chang Sheng.

In two seasons, he led Lazio to a league title and a league runner-up.

There is also a UEFA Cup title, which achieves Lazio's breakthrough of zero in this competition.

Such a manager. He's always good at working miracles......

The players want to leave the club because the club can't afford to pay them the high salaries they want. This has nothing to do with their belief that winning can work miracles.

They leave the club for financial reasons, and as long as they get together and disperse, they can maintain a good relationship with the manager.

Since the boss said that he wants to compete for the Champions League, he doesn't mind going crazy with the boss in the last half of the season.

With the strength of the highest annual salary not exceeding two million. Compete with teams where the annual salary of a single player may be equal to the annual salary of the entire Lazio team...... Just thinking about it makes you think it's a crazy idea.

Although crazy, it has the same style as the boss!

Doesn't the boss always like to do the impossible?

Let those who shout "this can't be" smash their glasses.

※※※

Chang Sheng just made a deal with his players.

If someone wants to leave after the end of the season, they can go, and they won't stop them. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness.

But. He asked these people to stay in the team and play the last half of the season to give their best.

"It's unbelievable...... "After the training, the Lazio coach who had been trying to dissuade the winning Lazio was still surprised.

He was surprised for two reasons, on the one hand, the goal that Chang Sheng shouted, and on the other hand, his players actually accepted it!

Rudy. Gonzalez asked Chang Sheng: "Do you really want to win the Champions League?" ”

Chang Sheng nodded: "Of course, I do what I say." ”

Rudy. Gonzalez nodded, no more nonsense. He's already thinking about how far he needs to go if he wants to win the title, how he needs to adjust his training.

Only the coach was still asking, "Hey, gentlemen, are we really going to win the Champions League?" That's the Champions League, the Champions League......"

Chang Sheng turned to look at him and nodded at him: "That's right, the champion of the UEFA Champions League, we want to take it!" ”

※※※

For all those who have seen first-hand how Chang Sheng gets his players, if Lazio is financially healthy and can come up with a transfer budget of tens of millions at any time, then they are convinced that this Lazio team will completely conquer the world.

Chang Win is still very good at controlling this team, and although he has faced some challenges in the past, it is not his problem.

It's a pity that Lazio can't come up with that much money. So such a good team may fall apart after this summer......

Someone will feel sad.

But Chang Sheng won't, he will always just look forward.

Only by doing so can we have the motivation to continue to struggle. People always like to live in their memories because it's easier to do that, they just need to lie in a chair. Suffice it to think back to the past. But those who strive to move forward need more courage and strength.

Chang Sheng doesn't want to lie on the chair to recall the past, and the hero doesn't mention the courage of the past.

Even if the team falls apart, so what?

He will still keep going, and no one can stop him.

The media continued to hype Lazio's internal crisis, and even Lazio fans were worried that their team would really be what the media said it would be. fell apart, and then Lazio went back to the way it was before, never to come out again.

It was at this time that the official website of the Lazio club announced the news of the successful contract renewal of the main goalkeeper Handanovic.

At the contract renewal ceremony, Lotito personally appeared and faced the cameras of reporters at the press conference with Chang Sheng, left and right, and Handanovic.

"He's the present and the future of the team." At the press conference, Chang Sheng said.

This rating is quite high.

Lotito also seemed pleased. Previously, the media kept attacking Lazio's two-million-dollar fixed salary system, saying that Lotito was the most slammed president in the history of Lazio clubs. This made Lotito very unhappy.

Now Handanovic's successful contract renewal is undoubtedly a successful counterattack.

"The 2 million euro fixed salary system will not be changed for a while, and we will stick to it. Lazio will be the most financially healthy club in Italian football. What we're going to do is ten, twenty, thirty years...... Or even a fifty-year thing. I know we're on the right path! ”

Lotito's attitude was very tough and resolute in the face of reporters' questions about the maximum salary.

Handanovic was asked what he thought of what had happened to the team recently, saying: "Everyone has the freedom of choice and my choice is to stay. I love Lazio, I love the coaches and the fans here. I had a great time here and I couldn't think of any other place I needed to go. ”

※※※

The next day, the newspaper Roma Sport published the photo on the front page, and they commented on the incident as "...... It was a specially scheduled press conference, although Handanovic was said to be the team's number one goalkeeper. But the renewal of the contract is only grander than the official signing. Apparently because Lazio wants to reassure people with such a gesture and show everyone that they can hold up! ”

Journalists still prefer conspiracy theories.

Of course, Lazio FC may really have this idea, which is to rely on the renewal of a Handanovic contract to stabilize people's hearts.

A good goalkeeper tops the top half of the team.

Handanovic's role at Lazio is also very important.

The team's lack of goals was not just a matter of tactics and the role of defenders, Handanovic also made a number of crucial saves in the game. Keep the goal in check.

Signing him at least shows that the team's defense is solid.

If the defense is stable, then it's easy to say anything.

Modern football is built on defense, even for teams that hold high the banner of attacking football.

Without defense, offense is rootless duckweed.

Sure enough, there were reporters who went to the streets to conduct random interviews with Lazio fans.

When asked what they thought of Handanovic's contract extension, most expressed confidence in the team's future.

They are convinced that there will be more players and club contract extensions in the future.

"This is just the beginning." An excited Lazio fan kept repeating the phrase to the camera. "This is just the beginning! This is just the beginning! ”

See him in action. The host at the back of the TV station couldn't help but complain: "Maybe it's the beginning of falling apart!" ”

Then he laughed too.

For Handanovic's contract extension, the media are not happy.

Because they want to see Lazio unlucky, they want to see Lazio fall apart.

In this way, that arrogant bastard will no longer have the capital to be arrogant. (To be continued.) )
