Chapter 263 Don't Be Stupid (31/134)
The story of Liverpool and Giroud is like a sad and moving love story. M
A down-and-out noble boy whose ancestors were rich fell in love with a beautiful girl.
In his opinion, this girl is more than a fairy, with a charming temperament, gentle and kind, if he can marry her back home, she will die without regret in this life.
And most importantly, being able to marry such a beautiful girl can also honor his ancestors and make those who laugh at his family's dilapidation shut up.
He gave his sincerity, and even took out the proof of his ancestors' wealth, pointing to the reborn castle and telling the girl that it used to be his family's summer house.
He pointed to the land with rich water and grass and told the girl that it used to be his family's hunting ground a hundred years ago.
He showed off the glory of his ancestors.
Then, wearing tattered and patched clothes, said to the girl: "I love you, my dear. Marry me! Although I don't have a luxury car and mansion now, my family used to have one! Although I am poor now, but Our family is a nobleman, and our children will be queens of the nobles in the future!"
He thought that everything he gave could impress this beautiful girl.
But who would have thought that this fairy-looking girl would say to him: "I'm sorry, you are a good person, but we can't live in the glory of the past, and memories can't be eaten..."
Then when she turned around, she fell into the arms of a handsome and rich man named Tottenham Hotspur.
Gao Shuaifu put his arms around the beauty, and even ruthlessly laughed at the boy from the Li family who was ugly and poor, yet wanted to marry a beauty as his wife? It's a toad who wants to eat swan meat, and doesn't take a pee to follow your virtue!
The beautiful girl looked at the distraught Liverpool with regret and helplessness in her eyes.
Gao Shuaifu laughed at his failed love rival, and then he was about to leave with the beauty.
Drive a sports car and go back to their luxurious villa.
Just at this time. The heartbroken Liverpool suddenly raised his head and stopped the girl: "Wait, before I leave, I want to ask one last question..."
Although the girl stopped, she didn't look back.
Her mind flashed the proud look on Liverpool's face as they showed her the glory of their ancestry.
But what's the use? It is your ancestors, but not yours.
If you can use this effort to work hard, maybe it will be different now.
Even if you can't become the head of a big chaebol like Chelsea and Manchester United, you can be the same as Tottenham Hotspur, right?
If I could do that, I might not even choose Tottenham Hotspur...
pity. Don't you still not know where you really lost?
So the girl said without looking back, "Don't be stupid."
She dropped this sentence, opened the door by herself, and got into the luxury sports car.
The tall handsome Fu Tottenham laughed and pointed at Liverpool and said: "Don't be stupid! Did you hear that? Don't-stupid--!!"
In the end, amidst the laughter, Gao Shuaifu put his arms around the beauty. He drove away in a sports car.
Only one poor Liverpool was left, kneeling on the ground, looking at the long-disappeared sports car, wanting to cry without tears.
Then the camera goes up and zooms out.
On the grassy wilderness, Liverpool knelt on the ground, as the camera zoomed out. Behind him reveals the long-abandoned castle, the property of his ancestors, which was once...
The camera is zooming out.
The sports car has already driven out of the camera.
There is only a puff of smoke at the upper edge of the shot, indicating that a car has been driving here.
Grass, jungle and a lake. If it wasn't neglected, it should have been a beautiful manor before, right?
The lens continues to zoom out.
Liverpool, kneeling on the ground, has turned into a black spot.
The screen gradually dimmed and subtitles appeared.
Leading the cast: Liverpool, Tottenham, Olivier Giroud, Lazio...
Welcome everyone to watch this summer's bitter film "Don't be stupid" in the football transfer market.
※ ※ ※
Selling Giroud to Tottenham Hotspur, Lazio earned 18 million euros.
This is the normal value of Giroud, a Lazio substitute striker.
He has won many championships. That's the plus point, but he didn't play many games at Lazio. There are not many goals, so it limits his room for further price increases.
What makes Chang Sheng most regrettable is that this time Manchester United did not make a move to raise the price of Giroud, otherwise I believe it can be sold for 25 million.
what a shame!
Belletti left Lazio on a free transfer and returned to Brazil.
Lazio has four people leaving the team this summer.
They brought in 108 million euros for the club, and at the same time saved 25 million euros in annual salary.
The saved wages were transferred to the wage budget, which made Lazio's wage budget much more comfortable.
This helps attract other players to the team.
※ ※ ※
In fact, when selling people, Chang Sheng was already ready to buy people.
But just prepare.
Changsheng has to decide who to buy based on the situation of the seller.
What he needs is alignment adjustment, rather than buying a lot of people he doesn't need to pile up.
That's a waste of money and productivity.
Now that the transfer negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur are about the same, Chang Sheng thinks it is ok.
Lazio will not sell again, no matter how valuable other players are or how many zeros those clubs have in their checks.
Selling four people is a benign blood draw for the team.
If you sell it again, it will be bleeding...
Now he can start buying people.
Although Giroud hadn't left at that time, it was only a matter of time.
Four people left this summer, two are midfielders, Cazorla and Motta, one is right back, Belletti, and one is center Giroud.
At the right back position, Chang Sheng thinks there is no need to buy someone.
Because Lazio now has two ready-made right backs, Belletti had three when he was there, which is a bit more.
Now that Belletti is gone, the redundancy just happens to be cleared.
The configuration of the remaining two right backs is just right.
There is no need to buy people anymore.
Then the main thing is to supplement the players in the midfield and striker.
Chang Sheng doesn't need to buy those to play the main force, otherwise he wouldn't sell Cazorla and Motta.
What he wants is to be a rotation player.
The same is true for the signing principle on the front line.
He thought he would go all over the world to find someone. Then try my best to negotiate with the opposing club.
It is really "exhausted".
Not exaggerating at all.
After Chang Sheng's vision became famous.
Whichever player Lazio is looking at now, that player will be looted, or the opposing club will ask for sky-high prices.
It is said that some clubs have abolished scouts, because they don't need scouts, they just need to read the media reports about who Lazio is interested in again, then go grab it, you can't go wrong!
When some agents and teams want to sell their players, they simply use Changsheng as an advertisement.
"Our players have been favored by Chang Sheng!"
"I think back then, Chang Sheng had his eyes on my players. If my players hadn't been too loyal to the team, he would have been honored by now! So you see such a good player, no matter what, he would give him fifty more million annual salary?"
...
Of course, many of these are liars.
Whether Chang Sheng was interested in this player, I am afraid Chang Sheng himself does not know. But those managers dare to brag about it.
And... someone really fell for it!
In order to get the club to raise his salary, some players also lied that Chang Sheng was seducing him. If the club didn't raise his salary to keep him, he would go to Lazio...
Now every summer in the transfer market, Chang Sheng is the eternal protagonist, and his name will always be mentioned repeatedly.
Regardless of whether it really has something to do with him...
This added a lot of difficulty to Lazio's signings.
It is getting more and more difficult for Lazio to buy a suitable player...
face this chaos. Chang Sheng had to come out to refute rumors frequently, and Lazio also denied many transfer transactions that did not exist.
But to no avail, the rumors about Lazio and Changsheng in the transfer market are still getting more and more fierce.
But for this, Chang Sheng has nothing but to refute the rumors. Do nothing, he is in no hurry at all.
Because he thought that what these idiots did was just to help him cover up.
Now everyone believes the rumors of those idiots.
Before long, no one will believe it.
It's like "Wolf is coming".
When someone said that they were related to Changsheng and Lazio. No one will believe them.
But even if there is real news, the credibility has been reduced.
so. The true intentions of Chang Sheng and Lazio were once again covered up...
Therefore, although Lazio will inevitably be subjected to wild asking prices from the seller's club, it is nothing more than a bargain.
At the very least, the players Lazio is looking at will no longer be looted by other teams...
This is the most important point.
No one competes with Chang Sheng, even if the other party asks for it, they can't afford it.
※ ※ ※
But it has not yet reached such a point, and it is still difficult for Lazio to buy people.
Chang Sheng is ready to fight those clubs that come to fight madly.
It is almost impossible to keep these things secret.
Look at Arsenal, look at Manchester United, look at Liverpool.
For so many transfers, the media has contributed to the flames.
They will do everything possible to find out the details and content of the transfer from within the club.
Then break the news.
They use this method to increase their sales and attract readers' attention.
In the summer, when there is no game, what everyone likes to watch most is the transfer.
All kinds of transfer rumors are flying in the transfer market, whoever has a reliable source of news has to expose it and let their own media become the focus.
The summer transfer period is also a feast for the media.
Players, teams, agents, fans and media are all involved.
It's a real football event!
But what surprised Chang Sheng was when he thought his buying plan this summer would be difficult.
The actual result is just the opposite!
This year's signings went so smoothly that he couldn't believe it!
