Chapter 358 Nesta's Choice
Morabito's slander against Galliani shows that he is still more inclined to stay in Milan. m
Because he believes that Lazio, a poor club, cannot pay too much salary. If they really want Nesta to go, they will definitely let Nesta cut his salary.
Probably a lower salary than in Milan.
In this way, my commission will be much smaller.
He makes a living by taking a commission from the players' salaries. As long as the commission ratio remains unchanged, the higher the player's salary, the more commission he will get.
He believes that if he works hard with Milan, he should be able to get a more satisfactory salary.
But if he goes to Lazio, there will be no benefit to him.
Lazio are notoriously stingy, and so far they have the lowest average salary among all the giants in Europe.
Because of their financial constraints, they have never been able to truly become a recognized wealthy club.
So it is normal for Morabito to have such thoughts.
It's just that he didn't have any say in this matter. It depends on Nesta's own wishes.
If the player is willing to go to Lazio, then even if Milan offers him an annual salary of tens of millions, he may not necessarily nod and agree to stay.
Morabito suddenly regretted telling Nesta about this.
Of course, even if he didn't tell Nesta, he believed that Chang Sheng would contact Nesta through other channels and then talk about it.
In short, as long as Lazio has his mind on this matter, he can only watch the situation develop in another direction.
※ ※ ※
Nesta is interested in the plan to return to Lazio in a tacit career.
He almost immediately received Chang Sheng's phone number, and then took the initiative to call Chang Sheng.
Morabito stared at him and shook his head: "Not reserved at all!" You are a world-class central defender. Alessandro!
Nesta chatted with Chang Sheng on the phone for about thirty minutes.
He asked a lot of questions, and Chang Sheng answered them all.
For example, Lazio’s future plans and Lazio’s ambitions.
Finally, Chang Sheng revealed his trump card.
"I think you need a long-term career plan, Alejandro..."
“I may not have a few years left in my career.” Nesta laughed on the other end of the phone. “What career plan do I need?”
Chang Sheng shook his head: "What you said. I heard it from another person once. When I told him that he needed a career plan, he also said the same. Who do you think he is?"
"This...I can't guess."
"It's Guardiola."
Upon hearing the name, Nesta was silent for a moment.
He is certainly aware of Guardiola's subsequent achievements, as he moved from Barcelona to Valencia. He started as a player under Chang Sheng, then a part-time coach, and finally became a full-time coach after retirement. From a general coach to a tactical coach, he finally went out alone, and then led Barcelona to win the Triple Crown and the Sixth Crown.
Later, some media said half-jokingly: Chang Sheng was a training class for famous coaches. Guardiola studied with him for several years and created an unprecedented six crowns after coming out. It seems that everyone who wants to be a famous coach should study under Chang Sheng for a few years.
Guardiola himself admitted that he has followed the winning streak. He learned a lot.
Has Nesta made plans for his life after retirement?
He should have also considered the possibility of coaching.
By then he didn't know if he was qualified for the position.
Now Chang Sheng sent this career plan to him.
tell him. Come to Lazio. If you follow him, you can still be a coach after retirement, and you may have the opportunity to become a famous coach in the future!
Is this condition tempting?
Quite tempting.
When professional players were still playing football. They can earn huge salaries and signing fees, as well as huge bonuses. There are also various advertising endorsements, which can bring them a lot of income.
For ordinary people, players are definitely considered the "rich class".
When playing football, their reality does not need to be considered. They and their families, especially their girlfriends or wives, can live very freely. As "Gazzetta dello Sport" said, "You can go to the supermarket without looking at any discount promotions, buy the latest mobile phone, be the most loyal customer of D&G, go for a drive in a Porsche, and order a few bottles at the disco with a bulging wallet. A bottle of champagne worth two hundred and fifty euros..."
But the future must be considered, because one day they will hang up their boots and no longer be able to earn so much money, and this day may come soon, and retirement will account for a greater proportion of their lives.
After professional players retire, most of them have lost their financial resources. Some of them rely on the money they saved from playing football. Players with financial management ideas will start to get involved in other industries before they retire, such as opening restaurants. Open a clothing company, or invest in real estate, trade in stocks and futures...
Different kinds.
For example, Milan defender Kaladze opened restaurants and hotels in Georgia and Kiev.
However, Keke, who was not doing well on the football field, has a keen sense of fashion. He invested in furniture and then opened a clothing store. He has stores in Catania and Milan, selling the latest clothes. He also created his own brand URBAN77, 77 being his playing number.
With the money Nesta has earned in Milan over the years, he naturally doesn't have to worry about how he will live after he retires.
So his career plan doesn’t care how much money he can make in the future, but to find something to do for himself.
After he retires, he may just stay at home and do nothing, right?
For players, 37 or 38 years old is considered "old age", but for life, it is still "youth".
He still has a lot to do in his life, and he must want to spend the rest of his life with the money he has earned from investing in these years.
He likes football, and he wants to continue to work in the football industry.
Generally, there are not many re-employment jobs that players can choose after retirement.
Some people will go to TV stations to be commentators, commentators, etc. The most successful one among them may be the famous English player Lineker, who went to work after retirement. Now he has become the host and producer of the ace program "Today's Match".
But not every player is eloquent and quick-witted and can work in the media.
So more players will choose to become a coach, whether it is a first-team coach or a youth team coach.
This is almost the majority of choices.
If Nesta wants to do something. Maybe coaching is the most suitable.
But there are two types of coaches: successful and unsuccessful coaches.
Nesta is a successful player, and he doesn't want to be a loser after he retires.
Playing in a big club, he enjoys winning and is used to winning.
He really can't accept failure.
So he wants to be a successful coach.
So... is there any better choice than following Changsheng?
Look at Di Matteo. Now he is the head coach under Changsheng, and occasionally helps the suspended Changsheng to direct the game, and he is doing a good job.
Nesta is very tempted.
※ ※ ※
Changsheng's career plan for Nesta is to sign a two-year contract with Lazio Club, with an annual salary of 2.8 million euros - only 300,000 euros more than in Milan, but this is no longer the focus of Nesta.
In these two years, Nesta will definitely not play too many games in Lazio.
In fact, career is what Nesta wants.
With the increase of age and injuries, Nesta also realized that he was unable to do what he wanted.
When he talked about the renewal with Milan, he mentioned this point. I hope Milan Club will agree to let him be a Part_me player. For the sake of health and condition, he doesn't play as a main player all the time.
He came to Lazio. Changsheng's condition was just what he wanted.
He valued two points.
One was that he could return to Lazio as a player. Just imagine him wearing Lazio's jersey and reappearing in front of Lazio fans. The cheers of the Olympic Stadium in Rome... This made him very excited.
Another point was career planning. After the two-year contract, he could sign a coaching contract with Lazio and learn how to be an excellent coach by Changsheng's side.
Of course, Changsheng's requirement for him was to obtain a coaching license during the two-year contract.
Only with this, he could become a coach.
Nesta had no objection to such a requirement. This requirement was not difficult. Two years was enough for him to obtain a coaching license.

Morabito saw Nesta and Changsheng chatting happily on the phone. He felt that Milan had no hope...
In terms of salary, even if Milan was willing to meet Nesta's opinion, I'm afraid Nesta would not consider staying in Milan now.
Looking at his eyes, which were flashing with strange spirits, it was known that Lazio had completely conquered his heart.
Morabito sighed in his heart, knowing that it was over.
Sure enough, after Nesta ended the call with Changsheng, he turned to look at his agent.
"Vicenzo." He said. "Since Milan has doubts, then we will not renew the contract with them. Let's talk to Lazio!"
Nesta's contract with Milan is less than half a year away. According to the rules, he can freely contact other teams without Milan's consent.
Any club can sign with him, they just need to convince Nesta.
In this way, Nesta's personal wishes become very important.
But where does Nesta prefer, is there any suspense?
Of course it's Lazio!
The flag of Lazio will return to the Olympic Stadium in Rome after ten years away.
Such a prospect makes people feel...excited just thinking about it.
Just think about it, when Nesta wears Lazio's blue jersey again this summer, appears in front of tens of thousands of Lazio fans, and enjoys thunderous cheers... what a legendary scene that is.
The piece that Lazio lost ten years ago finally has a chance to be made up ten years later.
There is no more Lazio's sorrow.
Lazio's shame will also disappear.
