Chapter 173 Cooperation

When the players are called by Chang Sheng, everyone knows that he will talk about recent events.

But I can't think of how he will explain to the players.

Later, when Chang Sheng told them personally that it was impossible for the club to increase the salary budget, so the maximum salary still could not exceed two million, many people's hearts were turned cold.

They suddenly felt that it was pointless to continue to fight on this team.

If my performance in Lazio is replaced by other teams, the annual salary is at least three to four million euros, and the worst is more than two million.

But in Lazio, it can only be like this, making people completely hopeless.

What is the need for such a team to stay?

champion?

We've both won the league once... no, twice.

This is really not attractive.

Maybe there is still a chance to win the Champions League if you go to the giants.

The performance in the league and the performance in the Champions League really cannot be equated. A Milan played like that in the league last season, wouldn't they still win the Champions League?

So, even if Lazio is now dominant in the league, it doesn't mean they are equally dominant in the Champions League.

Leaving Lazio, maybe you can still win the Champions League and achieve a breakthrough.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Chang Sheng suddenly threw out the goal of "Championship of the Champions League"!

A group of people didn't come to their senses, and looked straight at Chang Sheng.

※※※

"Maybe you think I'm making casual promises. But I suggest you think carefully about the years you've been with me, and see if I failed to deliver on what I said. Starting with Getafe, I said Do it, this has become my signature." Chang Sheng continued to speak against everyone's surprised gazes.

"Is this goal exciting enough? Even if you want to leave, you have to win this championship before leaving. Because it will make you more valuable and get you a better salary. If you are now worth three million euros in annual salary. Then Maybe once the Champions League is won, you can justifiably ask for an annual salary of 5 million."

"think about it,

Member of the UEFA Champions League team! What a remarkable achievement this is! Just fight for the last half of the season! You have nothing to lose, but you may get a huge return in the end! There is no better deal in this world than this one, it's a lot of money! "

Chang Sheng is like a demon, tempting his players to follow him to do a big deal.

"Do you need to give anything? No, you just need to train and play as usual, just like the first half of the season. Then wait for the glory!"

In fact, Changsheng is still the same old style, glory and dreams.

However, this time the glory was changed to greater. More golden, more attractive.

The Champions League championship is indeed more attractive than the league championship, and it is more worth paying for it.

Of course he said so. Without any guarantees, who would take his word for it?

But his players just believed.

Because he has proven time and time again that he can be trusted.

When he first arrived in Lazio, everyone knew what Lazio was like, even if he didn't play here at that time. Later also know.

The rapid rise of Lazio, which is about to go bankrupt, was written by Chang Sheng.

In two seasons, he led Lazio to a league title and a league second.

In addition, there is a UEFA Cup championship, which has achieved Lazio's zero breakthrough in this competition.

Such a head coach, he is always good at creating miracles...

Players want to leave the club because the club can't afford the high wages they want. This has nothing to do with their belief that Chang Sheng can create miracles, and it does not conflict.

They left the club for financial reasons, as long as they get together and leave. Can maintain a good relationship with the head coach.

Now that the boss has said that he wants to compete for the Champions League, he doesn't mind spending the last half of the season with the boss.

With the strength of a maximum annual salary of no more than 2 million, competing with those teams whose annual salary of a single player may be worth the annual salary of the entire Lazio team... just thinking about it, you will feel that this is a crazy idea.

Although crazy. But has the boss's consistent style!

Doesn't the boss always like to create those impossible miracles?

Let those who chanted "this is impossible" be stunned.

※※※

Chang Sheng just reached an agreement with his players.

If anyone wants to leave after this season, they can. I won't stop myself. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness.

However, he asked these people to stay on the team and play the last half of the season to do their best.

"It's unbelievable..." After training, the Lazio coach who planned to dissuade Changsheng was still surprised.

There were two reasons why he was surprised. One was the goal Chang Sheng called out, and the other was that his players just accepted it!

Rudy Gonzalez asked Chang Sheng: "Do you really want to hit the Champions League?"

Chang Sheng nodded: "Of course, I will do what I say."

Rudy Gonzalez nodded and stopped talking nonsense. He has already considered in his mind how much the team needs to do to win the championship, and how to arrange and adjust training.

Only the coach is still asking: "Hey, gentlemen, are we really going to win the Champions League? It's the Champions League, the Champions League..."

Chang Sheng turned to look at him and nodded to him: "That's right, we want to win the UEFA Champions League!"

※※※

For all those who have witnessed how Chang Sheng handles their players, if Lazio is financially healthy and can spend tens of millions of transfer budgets at any time, then they firmly believe that this Lazio team will completely conquer the world.

Because Chang Sheng's ability to control this team is still very good. Although he has encountered some challenges in the past period of time, this is not his problem.

It's a pity that Lazio can't afford that much money. So such an excellent team may fall apart after this summer...

Someone will feel sad.

But Chang Sheng will not, he will always only look forward.

Only by doing so can we have the motivation to continue to struggle. People always like to live in memory, because it is easier, they just need to lie on a chair and think about the past. Those who are struggling to move forward need more courage and strength.

Chang Sheng didn't want to lie on the chair and recall the past. A hero doesn't mention his bravery back then.

Even if the team falls apart, so what?

He will continue to move forward, and no one can stop his footsteps.

The media continued to hype Lazio's internal crisis, and even Lazio fans were worried, for fear that their team would really fall apart as the media said, and then Lazio would return to the way it was before, and never show up again day.

At this time, the official website of the Lazio club announced the news that the main goalkeeper Handanovic had successfully renewed his contract.

At the contract renewal ceremony, Lotito appeared in person, facing the cameras of the reporters at the press conference with Chang Sheng on the left and right and Handanovic.

"He's the present and the future of the team." In a news conference. Chang Sheng said so.

This evaluation is quite high.

Lotito also looked pleased. Before, the media kept criticizing Lazio's 2 million fixed salary system, saying that Lotito was the most stingy chairman in the history of the Lazio club. This made Lotito very unhappy.

Now Handanovic's successful contract extension is undoubtedly a successful counterattack.

"The fixed salary system of two million euros will not be revised for a period of time. We will insist on doing so, and Lazio will become the financially healthiest club in Italian football. What we have to do is ten years, twenty years, three years. Ten years... maybe even fifty years. I know we're on the right track!"

Lotito was very tough and resolute in the face of reporters' questions about the maximum salary.

Handanovic was asked what he thought of what had happened with the team recently. He said: "Everyone has the freedom to choose and my choice is to stay. I like Lazio. I like the coach and the team here. Fans. I'm so happy here, I can't think of where else I need to go."

※※※

"Corriere dello Sport" published this photo on the front page the next day. Their evaluation of this matter was "...this is a specially arranged press conference, although Handanovic is the number one of the team. Goalkeeper, but it’s just a contract extension, which is even more grand than the official signing. Obviously because Lazio hopes to calm people’s hearts through such actions, telling everyone that they can hold on!”

Journalists still prefer conspiracy theories.

Of course. Maybe the Lazio club really has this idea, which is to rely on Handanovic's contract extension to stabilize people's hearts.

A good goalkeeper tops the top half of the team.

Handanovic's role in Lazio is also very important.

The fact that the team has conceded fewer goals is not just about tactics and the role of defenders. Handanovic also made key saves many times in the game to keep the goal clean.

Signing him at least shows that the team's defense is solid.

If the defense is stable, then everything is easy to say.

Modern football is built on defense. This is true even for those teams that hold high the banner of attacking football.

Without defense, offense is duckweed without roots.

Sure enough, a reporter went to the street to conduct random interviews with Lazio fans.

When asked what they thought of Handanovic's contract extension. Most people expressed their confidence in the future of the team.

They firmly believe that more players and clubs will renew their contracts in the future.

"This is just the beginning." An excited Lazio fan kept repeating this sentence to the camera. "It's just the beginning! It's just the beginning!"

Seeing his performance, the host behind the TV station couldn't help complaining: "Maybe it's the beginning of disintegration!"

Then he laughed too.

The media were not happy about Handanovic's contract extension.

Because they want to see Lazio unlucky, they want to see Lazio fall apart.

In this way, that arrogant bastard will no longer have the capital to be arrogant. (to be continued)
