Chapter 152: Making Money
From Thiago. Motta's career has been a good short-term investment.
But it's not a good time to start.
Because he has a year to be injured at Atletico Madrid.
As mentioned earlier, Chang Sheng himself is not a miracle doctor, and it is impossible for the plug-in system to modify the player's physique - although this attribute does exist in the player, the meaning of this attribute is indeed related to injury tendency.
However, this is a hidden attribute and it is impossible to provide over-training skills to improve.
Coupled with Lazio, a poor man who can't even afford a professional team doctor, it is impossible to cure Motta's injury.
The best time to buy Motta was after the end of the 2007-2008 season.
At that time, Motta, who had been injured for a season, only played six games in Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid was convinced. I don't think there's any need to keep such a piece of waste in the team.
So they terminated Motta's contract, and Motta joined Genoa as a free agent.
Genoa didn't spend a penny, and after a season it was sold to Inter Milan, netting 13 million euros.
With such a cost-effective deal, it is impossible not to win often.
He just needs to wait patiently for another season to get the player for free.
Chang Sheng wrote Motta down in his memo and set a time, and when the season was over, the computer would notify him that it was time to bring in Motta.

Although Lotito is a businessman, there are some things that are in common.
He is proficient in negotiation.
All he needs to do is tell him what the maximum price he can accept.
You don't have to worry about the rest.
When it comes to saving money, Lotito does a lot better than ever. He'll just shell out less. And definitely not to come up with more transfer fees.
In previous transfer talks, he has shown his miserliness in this regard.
This time, Lotito didn't disappoint Chang Sheng either.
A week later, news came from Spain.
Barcelona agreed to sell Belletti to Lazio for three and a half million euros.
But when Chang Sheng heard this price, he was surprised.
Because Chelsea spent 5.5 million euros to take Belletti from Barcelona in the first place. Barcelona spent 5.3 million euros when they poached Belletti from Villarreal.
It can be said that Barcelona is losing money.
So Chang Sheng was very surprised that Lotito was able to keep the price so low.
He also had to admit that Lotito was a genius......
If he hadn't been the president of the club and the general manager of the club, he would have become a well-known manager in world football.
※※※
After getting the transfer approval from Barcelona. Lazio began to negotiate a personal contract with Belletti.
Belletti is not averse to a change of environment, and he has no problem with going to Lazio. He has an Italian passport anyway.
Belletti is negotiating here.
Chang Sheng turned around and called Blanco.
"Lichtsteiner can sell it to you, but it will cost you ten million euros, which is not a lot. He is the main right-back for the league winners. He's a Swiss International Olympian, he's still young, he's got a lot to do. He's worth the price. If Juventus doesn't agree, then we don't sell. ”
Blanco couldn't say anything disagree.
Everyone has made it clear that it is 10 million euros, and they love to accept it or not.
The media did not know about the negotiations between Barcelona and Lazio, so Blanco did not know that Chang Sheng had already found a replacement for Lichtsteiner, and he actually wanted to sell Lichtsteiner.
10 million ...... Juventus thought about it and felt that they were not short of money. And Lichtsteiner is really good. Most importantly. After Chiellini was gone. Juventus' backline is really in a hurry, they need defenders, no matter how much money they have, they have to buy them.
In this way, Blanco gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement with Lazio's price of 10 million euros.
※※※
It was the same day that the news of Lichtsteiner's transfer to Juventus was revealed. Lazio FC have also announced the arrival of Belletti.
It was only at this time that Blanco realized that he had been deceived by Chang Sheng, who had already sold Lichtsteiner to find a way out, and he contacted him only when he had found a way back...... And not what to struggle with for a week!
For his "struggling week", Juventus gave a fucking 10 million euros......
Blanco had a breath in his chest. I can't vent it.
Maybe he didn't need 10 million at all to buy Lichtsteiner.
All he can do now is hope that Lichtsteiner will prove that he has spent the 10 million euros worth......

By the time Lichtsteiner left the team and Belletti arrived, Lazio had already entered the physical training phase.
Belletti has just arrived in the team, and the physical coach Elias. Dominic, along with two medical consultants, gave Belletti a very detailed physical examination at the hospital.
According to this medical report, Elias. Dominica will design a targeted training program specifically for him.
This physical training program is mainly to increase shellfish
Letty's muscle strength to avoid him being injured again.
Elias. Dominic and the two medical advisors agreed that Belletti's muscles were too weak to protect his vital joints.
The training is not intense, but it is very targeted.
The fitness tour will help Belletti strengthen her resilience to injury.
Although Chang Sheng knows that in the first two seasons of Belletti's move from Barcelona to Chelsea, there have not been many injuries.
But who can guarantee that history won't turn? I have rewritten too much history, and because of my existence, many histories that were originally unrelated to me have also changed.
So he's not sure if Belletti can really be fitter in the two seasons.
After selling Lichtsteiner and bringing in Belletti. Lazio announced the end of the transfer for good.
Don't sell people, don't buy people.
At this time, the media found out that Chang Sheng really did what he said this summer.
He said that he would not make any big moves in the transfer market, and he really didn't make any big moves.
He said that most of his team was not for sale, and he really didn't buy a few people. Only Merlot and Lichtsteiner were sold.
That's a big difference from his performances in the previous two seasons.
"It seems that there is often a day when sex is changed...... "One media outlet complained.
Chang Sheng brought in Kolarov from OFK Belgrade this summer, using up the only non-EU signing.
The transfer was actually finalized a year ago, and it was postponed until now because there were no places.
After Kolarov's arrival, Koentrão went on loan to Getafe.
Lichtsteiner also left Lazio. He earned Lazio 10 million euros, of which Lazio bought a Belletti for 3.5 million, leaving 6.5 million euros.
Merlot is the big revenue generator.
28 million euros plus a Chiellini.
Win and make a lot of money!
Kolarov spent half a million euros on the club.
In this way, Lazio has been on the recruitment work this summer. Only four million euros were spent.
However, the transfer income is as high as 34.5 million euros.
Regarding Lazio's income in the transfer market every season, Chang Sheng has long discussed with Lotito.
At the moment, Lazio FC's top priority is to repay its debts.
Although the Italian tax authorities promised Lazio 23 years to pay off the debt in installments, and there was no interest.
However, this is collateralized by Lazio's annual sponsorship and training base.
Both felt that this was tantamount to putting Lazio on the back of twenty-three years.
If you can, the sooner you can pay off your debts, the better.
In this way, the club has the funds at its disposal that can be used to call for wind and rain in the transfer market and to raise the highest standard of wages. The €2 million ceiling is too low to attract the big names with that kind of salary.
If you want to stay competitive in football for a long time, you naturally have big stars in the team.
Therefore, Changsheng agreed to give all the transfer fees earned in the transfer market every year to Lotito. Keep the money necessary to keep the club running. All this money is used to pay off debts.
It's pretty much the same as what he did in Valencia.
The only difference is that every year Valencia FC has to give him a sum of money to fund transfers.
And in Lazio, even this money is gone, and in order to buy someone, he must first sell someone, and after earning enough transfer fees from the transfer market. Then invest in the transfer market.
After the transfer is over, how much transfer fee is left, all of it will be given to the club, and the team will not leave a penny.
Actually, when it comes to making money. Summer is the most convenient time to make money. Because there will be all kinds of business competitions.
Especially in North America and Asia.
In those areas where football is less developed, they are full of hunger for teams in Europe's top leagues.
Lazio, as the champion of Serie A, also has a Chinese head coach, it stands to reason that it is easy for them to go to the Chinese market to make money as long as they want.
In fact, in the past two years, a Chinese sports and cultural operation company has approached Lazio, hoping to operate Lazio's activities to play commercial games in China.
But after Chang Sheng discussed with Lotito, Lotito solved everything.
Because for Chang Sheng, which is for the traverser, it is really not worth it to earn such a small amount of money by flying to China thousands of miles away.
Generally speaking, with the exception of a star-studded team like Real Madrid, no other team makes much money in the overseas market.
That's really small money.
Generally speaking, after a few games, it is very good to have three or four million appearance fees.
And at this point, Chang Sheng earned it in his office, making a few phone calls and buying a player.
The advantage of the Traveler is reflected in this aspect, rather than running thousands of miles away to play commercial games, exhausting their own team, affecting normal pre-season preparation, and even affecting the whole season.
When the team's results are not stable and the lineup still needs to be run-in, Chang Sheng will not let his team go to China again.
The loss that I suffered in Valencia, it was enough to eat once.
