If Changsheng wants to go to Lazio, he must accept the request of salary reduction. Because Lazio has no money now, the highest annual salary of their whole team, whether it is a head coach or a player, is 2 million euros.
But this is not a problem for Chang Sheng, who is not short of such a salary now.
He wants revenge now, looking for revenge in Rome, and announcing to the whole Italy once again that he, ever victorious, is really here to conquer!
Chapter III Rome’s sworn enemies in the same city
When Lotito received a phone call from Changsheng hoping for an interview, be in heaven.
Early the next morning, he went to Chang Sheng’s apartment in person and had a four-hour interview with Chang Sheng.
During these four hours, Lotito explained his short-term, medium-term and long-term planning to Changsheng.
The short-term plan is to get Lazio club out of the current crisis that it may go bankrupt at any time. The medium-term plan is to revive Lazio and become a competitive team in Serie A again. The long-term plan is naturally to regain the championship and become a competitive team in Europe.
Changsheng combined with his prediction of the future, thinking that if all goes well, Lotito should be able to accomplish his short-term goals by the end of March next year.
Because Lotito will reach an agreement with the Italian tax authorities after difficult negotiations, and it has been approved by the Consultative Committee of the Import Administration. According to this agreement, the Italian treasury gave up the sanctions against Lazio and charged only 2.5% interest, which means that Lazio’s debt has been reduced by 33 million euros, from 157 million euros to 124 million euros, and this 124 million euros will be repaid in 23 years, and only 6 million euros will be paid every year. However, at the cost, Lazio must mortgage their Vermelo training base, as well as part of future income and sponsorship fees.
Six million a year, Changsheng feels that if Lazio can reach the Champions League qualifiers steadily every year, it can still be done relatively easily.
As for the medium-term plan and the long-term plan, Changsheng thinks that anything is possible as long as you have yourself.
Lotito is very happy with this confidence of winning constantly.
Of course, what makes him most happy is the team-building policy given by Changsheng.
Lazio has no money now, so the winning strategy is to buy those players who are not famous but practical first, because they are cheap and their salary requirements are often not too high, so as not to increase Lazio’s burden.
Secondly, Changsheng also said that Lazio can sell some players to cash out for the start-up funds of the activity transfer.
Both of them are very much to Lotito’s taste, because Lotito’s policy of running Lazio is very consistent with the idea of winning.
As for the specific players to sell, Changsheng didn’t say, nor did Lotito ask.
Of course, Changsheng also told Lotito that when Lazio develops, there must be big stars to join us, and we can’t always buy those young players, just like he hired Ronaldinho in Valencia. As a result, Ronaldinho played a vital role in the Champions League final.
Lotito nodded yes, that’s no problem.
Lotito intends to make long-term cooperation with Changsheng this time, so that Changsheng can come up with a long-term plan.
Changsheng really wants to have a long-term plan.
Because of his ability to predict the future, the most suitable is long-term planning. He has worked hard to cultivate players, and he also hopes that the longer he can use it, the better …
The two sides talked for four hours, and finally finalized Chang Sheng’s willingness to join Lazio.
Lotito said that the two sides can sign the contract tomorrow and hold a press conference the day after tomorrow.
Lotito is well aware of the feud between Changsheng and Rome. As the president of Rome’s arch-rival club, he said that this press conference could be used to disgust Rome.
Changsheng couldn’t help laughing-I’ve never seen such an interesting club chairman!
He almost agreed, but he suddenly thought of someone and stopped Lotito from doing so.
This is a name that suddenly popped up in his mind, which he had never thought of before. But at this time, it suddenly jumped out.
That name is david silva.
He remembered that david silva was in Valencia’s C team.
In fact, when he was still coaching in Valencia, he had already observed david silva.
Is indeed the david silva of later generations.
But at that time, I was too young and immature in all aspects. Compared with Reyes, there was still a big gap. Besides, I was not short of people on the wing, including Ronaldinho, Vicente, Reyes and angulo, and there was no place for david silva.
Therefore, Changsheng has never interfered with Silva’s development, allowing him to develop freely in the Valencia youth team without exerting any influence on him. With his understanding of Silva, he knew that even if he didn’t do anything, Silva could grow into the future Silva, so he was in no hurry.
He hopes that when Silva is more mature, he will be promoted to the first team. At that time, Vicente should also become a glass man, and the position of the wing will be vacated.
But I didn’t think he had time to realize this plan, and he left because of the turmoil at the top of the club … This plan was naturally stillborn.
But now he suddenly remembered this person, because he now thinks that david silva is a good bargain if Lazio wants to get a bargain.
In fact, in the summer of 2004, Valencia planned to sell david silva.
Sacchi, who was working in Parma at that time, hoped Valencia would lend young midfielder Albiol to Parma. At that time, Changsheng had already left. Valencia’s technical director Marcia told him that Albiol was participating in the European U19 Youth Championship in Switzerland.
So I went to Switzerland for the season. Two weeks later, Sacchi called Marcia: "I hope to get david silva." Silva was one of the main players of the Spanish youth team that won the European Youth Football Championship at that time.
At that time, the head coach of Valencia had been replaced by Ranieri, who despised Silva and agreed to Sacchi’s request.
The two clubs have reached an agreement on the transfer intention, and Girba himself thinks he is going to book Parma. But in the end, the Italian side could not accept Valencia’s repurchase price, which led to the breakdown of the final negotiations.
Finally, this season, Silva was loaned by Valencia to the second-division team ewald.
Despite his excellent performance in ewald, Ranieri still won’t like him.
Therefore, Changsheng can dig Silva from Valencia without even spending too much money.
But the premise is that Lazio can’t reveal that Changsheng will become the coach of Lazio. Otherwise, Valencia will never sell david silva to Changsheng because of the personal grievances between Sohler and Changsheng.
Changsheng told Lotito what he thought.
Lotito also felt that this was a problem, so he agreed to the requirement of constant victory.
The two sides can sign the contract first, but without publicity, and then hold a press conference when the time is right. At that time, at least david silva will definitely come to Lazio.
……
The two sides talked for four hours and discussed everything and all the details.
Then Lotito left.
He will come with the contract tomorrow, and then he will sign the contract directly.
Because of Italian regulations, the same coach can’t coach two Serie A teams in one season, so if Changsheng wants to coach Lazio, he will have to wait until the 2005-2006 season.
Does that mean that Changsheng has nothing to do during this time?
Not really, Lotito said, Changsheng can give him a cleaning list and the club will help him clean up these players.
At the same time, Changsheng can now make preparations for Lazio’s signing in the new season, such as going somewhere to find a player and personally persuading him to join Lazio … and so on.
Of course, he will also get a long holiday.
