Chapter 171 Chang's Dynasty Dream

Because he has experienced the economic crisis in Getafe, Chang Sheng is very clear about the role of money in the football world and values ​​it very much.

He wasn't the idealist who chanted "football keeps politics and money away".

He knows very well that football, as the number one sport in the world, has never been clean.

If it is not linked to politics, how can it have such a large influence?

From UEFA to FIFA, which level of football officials are not politicians? Both are.

Money is even more important.

Seriously speaking, without the intervention of money, modern football would never have achieved such rapid development, and it would be far from becoming the world's number one sport.

These days, you can't even do amateur football without money—even amateur football requires money for jerseys, pitches, and transportation.

The current development of football is accompanied by the full involvement of commercialization.

Although the several teams that Chang Sheng has coached have been financially tight, he never thinks there is anything to be proud of. He never thinks that he insists on grassroots football. On the contrary, he really hopes that he can have a lot of money one day, and he can just smash the players he looks like-what? He won't come? Take money and throw it! Until he is knocked down!

Such a scene, just thinking about it will feel very refreshing.

The dream is full, but the reality is quite skinny.

But Chang Sheng never felt that it was bad for those clubs to have money.

In the eyes of many people, Manchester City is an upstart and is despised. Chang Sheng felt that there was nothing wrong with being an upstart.

Looking at Getafe, which was struggling on the verge of bankruptcy, the fans of Getafe must have hoped that a rich man from the Middle East would come and buy the club, and then let the team spend 100 million a year in transfer funds. By the way, build a modern five-star stadium that can accommodate 80,000 people.

But unfortunately, until the end, Getafe fans did not wait for such a savior.

If Lazio has a lot of money, they have the confidence to say: "Our team does not make money by selling players." Chang Sheng will not let his players go away, he will lead these players to create a dynasty, a legend.

A few years later, the world football will leave a good story written by him and the players.

Now, if his players are going to pursue their bright futures. Chang Sheng will not stop them, but this cannot affect the team's performance...

※※※

Chang Sheng doesn't want the team to be affected, but how is this possible?

Chang Sheng's prestige is still there, so everyone won't show it directly, but Chang Sheng can't control what he thinks in his heart.

If a player who was originally dedicated is upset, his performance will naturally not be much better.

During this period of time, Changsheng frequently rotated. It is more frequent than when playing in the Champions League, because he wants to let those players who are absent in the training center and in poor condition go out of the starting list, and then replace some reliable players.

It stands to reason that this month should be a good time to stabilize the lineup, gain a bigger lead in the league in one go, and finally seal the victory.

Now...it's all over.

On January 24, the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia. Lazio lost to Fiorentina 1:2 at home, and the situation of advancing to the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia is not optimistic.

The twenty-seventh day after three days. In the twentieth round of the league, Lazio drew 1:1 with Turin in an away game—they almost lost the game, if it hadn’t been for Jose Passarella to step forward and head the football in a corner kick Going into the Turin goal...

On January 30, Lazio lost 0:1 to Fiorentina at home and was eliminated. Missed the Coppa Italia semi-finals.

Lazio played three league rounds and three Coppa Italia matches in January.

There are six games in total. Only won the first two games, and lost the next three games. Evened.

This month, Lazio's performance can be said to be terrible, with ups and downs.

In the league, their original seven-point lead over Inter Milan turned into two points due to two consecutive rounds of winless...

There was no suspense in the league championship competition, but suspense suddenly arose again.

Inter Milan's morale is high, and they are sharpening their swords, planning to pull Lazio from the number one throne in the league.

In addition to the first time, the gloating of the media is naturally indispensable.

As I said before, Lazio's strength in Italy made many people feel bored and offended.

For every failure of Lazio, these media will perform the same celebration.

This time is no exception.

Lazio's two consecutive winless rounds in the league means that Lazio has encountered a crisis.

It may be a little flattering to say this-a team is only in crisis after two rounds, how do you let other teams live? Last season, Inter Milan had a record of winning four rounds!

But the fact is that after Changsheng coached Lazio, Lazio's longest winless record is two consecutive games.

Counting this time, there are four times in total.

The first time it happened was in the 32nd and 33rd rounds of the 2005-2006 season, with one draw and one loss.

Both the second and third times happened last season. In the fifteenth and sixteenth rounds, there were two consecutive rounds without a win, with one draw and one loss. After it was finally determined to win the championship early, Lazio obviously pulled back, so they didn't win in the last two rounds.

And then this time.

For the media, this is already a big crisis for Lazio!

The key is that there is a big gap. Everyone was saying that Lazio won the league championship this season is definitely not a problem. As a result, in the two rounds of the league, Inter Milan has caught up and changed from a seven-point lead to a two-point lead... If Lazio is really reversed by Inter Milan in the end, these media will have every reason to beat them to death and laugh at them Chang Sheng - It's really interesting to see such an arrogant person deflated on the spot!

In the Coppa Italia, Lazio were also eliminated.

Before the season is over, a championship has already been lost.

Now that's all, the media can laugh at Chang Sheng and Lazio.

"... Lazio's rapid development has always been a miracle in Italian football. They jumped from a team on the verge of bankruptcy to the league champions in just... less than a season. Often a host from China Coach, Lazio under him is like China's economic development, which is advancing at a rapid rate of 8% per year. This speed of advancement has shocked and frightened the whole of Europe-because it is not normal. This It’s not a team’s normal development trajectory... Now, Lazio’s development has obviously reached a bottleneck. Because the players who played for Lazio at the beginning have more needs, and the Lazio club cannot meet these needs. The contradiction is Thus was born... If this contradiction is not resolved, I boldly predict that this will be the beginning of Lazio's collapse. They will get nothing this season!"

After the last letter under the bridge, Breno Pacheco pressed the Enter key heavily and then raised his arms. His body also leaned forward and backward with this movement, as if he was playing at the end of a piece of music. Like a note.

Pacheco is very satisfied with the manuscript he just wrote, like a classic song.

He was intoxicated.

When the whole of Italy said that Lazio was the Armada, he did not believe in evil and stood up.

Finally, through his unremitting efforts, diligently pursued. Successfully found Lazio's weakness!

As the saying goes, no matter how strong a fortress is, it will eventually be breached from within...

Seeing Lazio losing consecutive games, being eliminated from the League Cup, and only two points away from being chased by Inter Milan in the domestic league, Pacheco has a sense of accomplishment.

If Lazio is really the Armada, then he is the hero who single-handedly sank the Armada!

He is the hero who saved Italian football!

What will happen to Italian football if Changsheng is allowed to continue to be successful?

The meeting country will not be the country!

At that time, everyone will think that Chang Sheng's set is good, and everyone wants to be a head coach like Chang Sheng. They have weird situations and arrogant personalities. They look down on the traditions of their predecessors, they challenge authority, they confront reporters...is that okay?

If things go on like this, Italian football can only be a miasma!

Now just one regular victory has already caused Italian football a headache, if there are more... It's too scary to imagine!

The review article written by Pacheco "Chang's Dynasty Dream" appeared prominently in the latest issue of Gazzetta dello Sport.

"... Generally speaking, we call a team that can win the league championship for three consecutive years a dynasty. For Lazio, who are always victorious. They are dreaming of such a dynasty. They have won two league titles, Just take it again. They can build a sky-blue dynasty in Italian football... But unfortunately, it seems that this dream has come to wake up..."

This article basically has a theme throughout: not optimistic about Changsheng. Not optimistic about Lazio.

Pacheco cited various examples to illustrate why it is impossible for Changsheng to lead Lazio to complete three consecutive championships. Some are convincing, while others are controversial.

Because it was an article from Gazzetta dello Sport and because it was highly recommended by the editor-in-chief, Pacheco's article had a wide impact.

Some Chinese media even translated the full text and reprinted it in their own newspapers.

The media that hype this up is like having a carnival.

Similar smearing practices have been done before, but every time they win, they save themselves from danger.

But the media firmly believed that Chang Sheng would not be able to escape this time, and would definitely fall!

Because this time it's about money.

As for money, Chang Sheng is powerless.

It is impossible for Lazio to meet the salary requirements of those stars. They can only let these players leave and watch the team that has always had a strong combat effectiveness be dismembered and eventually fall apart.

This has happened countless times in world football, and no team has survived.

Those teams that lack background and economic strength, even if they achieve short-term success, are nothing more than cultivating stars for wealthy teams.

What you need to become a giant is not just a few talented players, but also enough background.

The background includes excellent and glorious history, as well as strong economic strength.

And these, does Lazio have them?

They can only become poor lambs to be eaten in the world of the jungle.
