Chapter 22 Help Me Find Someone

Chang Sheng didn't feel pity at all because he gave up a deal worth 41 million euros, even though he had never been exposed to so much money in his life before, not even in Getafe.

Because he is very clear about the outcome of this transfer deal.

But he still got a call from Pitage.

Chang Sheng smiled wryly, why is he always at odds with the club manager...

Although Pittaqi on the other side of the phone seemed very excited, Chang Sheng warned himself not to be too impulsive this time, and he can talk about evil.

He believes that as long as he explains a little bit about this matter, Pittaqi can understand what's going on, because Lazio's decline can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, even though they just won the Serie A championship a season ago He also qualified for the Champions League this season.

But anyone who understands economics knows Lazio's problems.

How long can a club that has no hematopoietic ability and relies entirely on money from the big boss last?

What's more, Clario, Cranioti's company, also had problems. So how long can Craniotti last?

In fact, Chang Sheng has always wondered how such a shrewd person as Llorente was deceived by Lazio...

"It's easy for me to reject Lazio, Mr. Pitazzi. Because I don't believe that Lazio can afford the transfer fee of 41 million US dollars. If they don't ask for a sky-high price, I may still believe their offer." Chang Sheng Patiently explain to Pitage on the phone.

Pitage wasn't an idiot either, he recovered from his initial dissatisfaction. I think what Chang Sheng said does make sense.

Because he has also more or less heard the news about the poor financial operation of the Lazio club. It seems that Craniotti also borrowed part of the money from his own Cirio company to give the club...

If this is the case, whether the Lazio club has enough financial resources to buy Mendieta is indeed a problem.

"So you refused because you were worried that Lazio would not be able to pay? But they always have to pay, right? Once the transfer is agreed, they have to pay..." Pittaqi still hesitated and doubted, after all, 41 million Dollar, in front of whom. No one can be calm and unwilling to give up just like that.

Chang Sheng smiled: "Have you forgotten that there is such a thing as installment payment, Mr. Pitage? Pay part of the down payment first. Then pay the rest of the balance in installments. But can they really afford it? When they When there is no money, and people are already owned by them, we will take the lawsuit to court.

It didn't work either. Even if someone loses, if they have no money, they have no money, and they still can't get a penny. Of course, they can also propose to use players to pay off debts. But we may not need their players, nor may they be worth that much money. Besides, if you want their players, you have to pay the players' salaries. After all, we didn’t get a penny back, let alone pay two extra players’ salaries that are of no use to us...”

Hearing what Chang Sheng said, Pitage remained silent. He had to admit that what Chang Sheng said was right, but there was just a trace of obsession in his heart, and he was unwilling to give up easily.

Chang Sheng guessed something from Pitage's silence.

All he had to say was: "Okay then, Mr Pittazzi. If you don't believe me, we can do an experiment. You can say yes to Lazio's offer and let's see what they do next... If nothing else. If so, they will definitely propose to pay in installments. At this time, I want to see Mr. Pitage from your point of view. Don’t you see any problems?”

Pitage recovered from his hesitation, Chang Sheng was right.

Just look at whether Lazio will choose to pay in installments to know if they are really rich. Forty-one million dollars is a lot, but the money you can't get is always just a bunch of meaningless numbers.

Pitage is unwilling to take a risk. If Lazio really cheats him, he will have to bear all the responsibility in the end. Because Chang Sheng can say that he has rejected Lazio's offer. It was I who called and insisted on forcing this transfer forward.

For myself, this can be regarded as a stain...

Thinking of this, Pitage also understood what he should do: "Very good, Chang, you did a good job. Then you don't have to worry about the next thing, I will know what to do."

Chang Sheng's reminder helped him avoid a possible risk, and his tone and attitude were much better than when he first called.

I used to have an attitude towards "indifference", but now it's becoming more friendly...

※※※

Through this incident, Chang Sheng felt that it was not possible to let this group of people be too leisurely, and he still had to find something for them to do.

First of all, he must be fully prepared. What if Craniotti loses his mind and really pays the transfer money in one lump sum?

So can you sell Mendieta?

sell

Of course sell

At this time, what kind of tactical status, what kind of core captain, and what kind of influence are almost like air in Chang Sheng's mind.

That's 41 million U.S. dollars. At this time, the United States has not suffered the 911 terrorist attack, and the U.S. dollar is still very strong.

With this amount of money, it is not a problem at all to build a luxurious fleet by relying on the foresight of Changsheng traversers.

So if Mendieta is really going to be sold, even if the possibility is slim, Chang Sheng must make a plan.

If Mendieta goes, the team will be weakened on the right flank, what to do?

Chang Sheng had a few ready-made candidates in his mind—it was too simple, he remembered all of Valencia's later lineups, so it would not be a problem to just buy them.

If Mendieta wants to leave, then he will decisively take out Rufete. Rufete is not a well-known wide player in Valencia, but he is diligent, has strong tactical execution ability, and keeps a low profile. This school wins very much.

And it turns out he's doing well in Valencia.

After making preparations for Mendieta's departure, Chang Sheng is ready to trouble another person.

He remembered that Mendieta's transfer deal back then was handled by Llorente.

He didn't understand how someone as shrewd as Llorente could make such a mistake. It can only be understood that he was really dazzled by the sky-high price of 41 million US dollars.

Now in order to prevent him from exerting influence in this transfer trial, Chang Sheng decided to transfer him away.

Anyway, didn't he say that if you need help, just call him.

Then Chang Sheng is welcome.

※※※

The next day, Chang Sheng first went to Llorente.

Then handed him a player profile and told him that he had his eye on this person. Hope he helps out.

Llorente looked down: "David Villa Sanchez? Who is this?"

He doesn't know anything about this player.

In fact, it's not his fault that he's not good at business.

At this time, Villa was still staying at Sporting Gijon. Last season, he only played one game on behalf of Sporting Gijon in the second division of La Liga without scoring a goal. Then last season. He played thirty-five games in Sporting Gijon's reserve team, the Sporting Gijon b team. There are thirteen goals. But performance at this level is hardly noticeable.

In fact, Villa became the main striker of Sporting Gijon this season, playing 40 times and scoring 18 goals. In the following 200203 season, he continued to play in the second league as the main player, playing 39 times and scoring 20 goals.

With his performance in two seasons, he won the favor of the First Division team. He was taken away by La Liga's Zaragoza with a transfer fee of 1.5 million euros, and his journey to fame began.

Before that, he was a complete unknown. There may be very professional scouts who will know him. But most people know nothing about him.

Chang Sheng pointed to the information and said, "As you can see, a Sporting Gijon striker."

"But we already have enough strikers..."

"Didn't I already decide to list Zahovic and Diego Alonso?"

Llorente fell silent. Zahović and Diego Alonso are sold as a matter of course, they did not perform well last season.

He nodded: "Okay, I'll go and bring him back. Anything else?"

Chang Sheng shook his head: "You go, Manuel. Hurry up. I'm afraid we will be too late to bring him to Mestalla, but it will be difficult..."

Llorente curled his lip in his heart, thinking what is so rare about bringing an unknown soldier to Mestalla? It is the blessing of David Villa Sanchez that Valencia can take a fancy to him

Although he thought so in his heart, he still didn't dare to neglect, and immediately decided to go to Gijón in northern Spain.

The atmosphere inside the upper echelons of the club is actually pretty good. Since Chang Sheng has the right to transfer, he has the right to transfer them, and no one complains. Even if Chang Sheng spends so much money to buy basically unknown players, the club's top management still trusts him.

There are endless criticisms of Chang Sheng's signings in the media, but the club chairman Otti has never approached Chang Sheng to ask him what's going on.

It can be seen that he trusts Chang Sheng.

The president of the club trusts Chang Sheng so much, what can't he trust Llorente?

In the final analysis, the two parties have just signed a contract, and they are full of beautiful visions for the future. The league has not yet started, and a game has not been played. The cruel reality will not hit the beautiful fantasy of the longing.

So, they are still in the honeymoon period with each other.

※※※

After Chang Sheng explained all the things that should be explained, he remembered that today's training started to explain his tactical thinking to the players, so that the players could understand his training intentions and reduce their resistance.

When he rushed to the training ground, most of the players were already on the training ground, and some players were coming out of the locker room one after another.

They had obviously gotten the news from captain Mendieta. After arriving at the training ground, they did not start warming up in a hurry, but stood in small groups and waited on the training ground.

When Chang Sheng appeared on the sidelines of the training field, all eyes were on him.

Several people's faces were not very good.

Chang Sheng saw Mendieta in it, and he dropped a [Golden Eye] in the past. I found that my reputation here in Mendieta has become [cold].

He estimated that the agent had told Mendieta that he had rejected Lazio's offer.

But right now he couldn't care less about comforting Mendieta, or persuading Mendieta.

He definitely won't make a loss-making business.

Mendieta cannot be sold, or absolutely cannot be sold to Lazio.

After everyone has assembled. Rudy Gonzalez stepped forward, intending to motion for everyone to warm up with him.

But he was stopped by Chang Sheng, and then he looked at Chang Sheng strangely with a posture of "I have something to say".

"I know that the training intensity of the past two days has caused many people to complain. I don't want to emphasize to you the nonsense that modern football physical fitness is the foundation." Chang Sheng glanced at everyone, and [Golden Pupil] was continuously activated.

Originally, the initial state of prestige is [Neutral] 1500, and it can be upgraded to friendly when it reaches 3000.

But looking at it now, the prestige value of many people has dropped compared to the initial data.

The degree of decline varies.

It seems that if he does not correct the psychology of these players. This prestige value will continue to drop, fall to indifference, and then go to the bottom of hostility.

These words must be said today.

As for how much it can do...

At that time, it will be both soft and hard.

Chang Sheng once heard people say that Valencia's locker room has always been "the most complicated locker room in Spain". After Koeman became the head coach of Valencia, at the instigation of Soler, the 250-year-old chairman, he made the wrong choice of "controlling violence with violence". Raised the butcher knife to the locker room. The three captains were deposed in one breath - Albelda, Canizares and Angulo, and the rectification vortex shocked the whole of Europe.

However, this harsh rectification did not bring new life to Valencia. Instead, the team fell into a quagmire and completely collapsed. In the end, Soler had to take the blame and resign, and Koeman fled despite the scolding of countless Valencia fans.

So Chang Sheng is very clear that for this locker room, simply copying the set at Getafe may not necessarily be effective.

He needs to use the soft one first.

Move it with emotion and understand it with reason.

If it really doesn't work, try harder.

Although he has Getafe's coaching experience, he found that he basically didn't need it when he came to Valencia, and he still had to figure it out by himself.

fine. He has the experience of future generations who failed, so he can learn from it. If it wasn't for Coman, maybe he would really choose to use violence to control violence...

At that time, such a harsh comment will have to fall on him...

"If there is a Golden Raspberry Award in the football world that can select awards such as the worst film and worst actor in Hollywood), Chang Sheng will undoubtedly be elected with a high number of votes."

Seeing that basically every player was staring at him, Chang Sheng continued:

"The training intensity is high. I know that too. I don't know about other teams, but I think our training intensity can be ranked among the top three in the first division, which may be okay. But I am not a sadist. , I have no interest in seeing you guys tired like dead dogs. So the question is, why do we need to torture ourselves so hard before the season starts? Honestly, for a new team to take over as a head coach For example. I have many choices, such as I do nothing, just let you continue the previous training plan, I think I may still leave a good impression in your hearts. I know you are a little dissatisfied with me now, but Why would I do this? Simple, because my tactics require you all to be physically fit."

"My predecessor, Coach Cooper, used defensive counterattacks to get you to the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons. I think he has played his defensive counterattacks to the extreme. But why can you reach the finals but not win the finals?" What about the championship? If any of you know anything about me, you should know that when I was at Getafe, I also played defensive counterattacks. But I don’t intend to transplant my defensive counterattacks to you.”

A group of players forgot that Chang Sheng's junior high school wanted him to reduce the intensity of training, and began to concentrate on listening to Chang Sheng's tactics.

Because it's so fresh, no head coach has ever said so much to them in the first two days of pre-season training.

It's not yet the stage of tactical training.

And they found out that this young Chinese is not talking nonsense, he does have something.

Everyone knows that he won the second division championship and the Copa del Rey championship last season by relying on defensive counterattacks.

Now there are local media in Valencia who swear that Changsheng will definitely continue to use his own defensive counterattack tactics in Valencia, and they have also presented a lot of evidence to prove their correctness.

For example, he is the most familiar and proficient at defending and counterattacking Changsheng, and he has won the league championship and the Copa del Rey championship by virtue of this. It is a proof of success, so why does he need to change his very mature tactics?

In addition, Valencia is also good at playing defensive counterattacks. With constant victories, isn't this a typical defensive counterattack combination?

Besides defensive counterattack, what else can they play? Could it be playing offensive football?

Give me a break

Now hearing Chang Sheng say that he does not intend to transfer the defensive counterattack to Valencia, many people are taken aback.

Including the coaches behind him, only Rudy Gonzalez was not surprised.

Because when he saw this physical training plan, he more or less guessed something.

So an interesting smile appeared on his face, waiting to see how Chang Sheng would persuade these people to accept his training plan.
