Chapter 192 Let's Work Hard for the Goal that Even Bears the Infamy (2/21)
When Lazio was preparing for the two-legged semi-final against Chelsea, Serie A was still going on.
But Chang Sheng has already decided that the league will be a warm-up match.
To allow more players to play, he began to rotate continuously in the league to train the players and keep everyone in a good competitive state.
But rotate anyway. There is always someone who will not be rotated out, and that is Falcao.
Falcao started every game.
And his performance in the game did not disappoint.
In the thirty-third round, Lazio defeated Siena 3:1 at home, and Falcao assisted once.
In the thirty-fourth round, Lazio drew 2:2 with Catania away, and Falcao contributed another assist and a goal.
This time, in the 34th round of the league, he has already scored 30 league goals.
Officially became the second player to score more than 30 goals in a single season in Serie A half a century ago!
The first one is Luca Toni. In the 2005-2006 season, when he represented Fiorentina in Serie A, he scored 31 goals in a single season and won the top scorer of that season.
In the half century before him, only Nordahl, one of the Swedish Three Musketeers who used to be Milan, could do it.
After him, now Falcao pops up!
The Italian media began to hype Falcao's 30 goals in a single season.
Of course, what they don't know is that they have played another excellent advertisement for Lazio's Falcao invisibly.
They tried their best to tout in the report, expressing how good and great Falcao is, he achieved such outstanding results at such a young age, so what height will he reach in time?
The publicity eventually fell on Barcelona's ears.
Originally, before this, the negotiations between the Barcelona club and the Lazio club were very painful.
Lotito is a ruthless man, and Barcelona's money did not fall from the sky.
The two sides were so deadlocked.
until now. Barcelona couldn't hold on anymore.
The Italian media are frantically hyping Falcao's 30 goals in a single season, which has aroused the interest of other European giants.
Those teams who were still hesitant before are planning to step up their pace this time.
Since Barcelona is now the only team negotiating with Lazio, it has a head start.
It would be unforgivable if Falcao was snatched away even though he had the opportunity!
Moreover, after Russell left, Barcelona has been lacking too many excellent transfers. There is a voice in the media saying that the players who laid the foundation for the second dream team were introduced by Russell, such as Ronaldinho and Deco. ...which made Laporta angry. How can people forget Daniel Alves? !
Now, Laporta wants Falcao to prove that he is the one who has the real eye. He's also capable of pulling off a sensational move for Barcelona.
Another reason that prompted Barcelona to make up its mind to agree to Lazio's conditions was the poor performance of the Barcelona team in the league.
There are thirty-three rounds of La Liga. Barcelona has 17 wins, 10 draws and 6 losses, with 61 points and only ranked third. And their mortal enemy Real Madrid now has 72 points, topping the list, leading them by as much as 11 points!
Barcelona want to win the league title this season. It can be said that it is completely out of play.
Even judging from the current trend, if Real Madrid wins the championship before the thirty-sixth round of the league, then Barcelona will go to the Bernabéu Stadium to welcome the league champion Real Madrid!
For Barcelona, this is simply a great shame!
The current situation has left the morale in the Barcelona team low, and the fans are also uneasy about the team's performance.
After this, only by winning a player with enough weight can people continue to maintain confidence in Barcelona.
Falcao is clearly the best.
in this season. No one in European football is hotter than Falcao.
In Serie A, which emphasizes defense, he scored 30 goals and held the top scorer list in the league. In the Champions League, also leads Cristiano Ronaldo with eight goals. And his teammate Benzema, ranked first in the scorer list.
And Romedal Falcao, who did all this, was only twenty-two years old!
His future is bright!
Such a young and capable center is exactly what Barcelona needs.
If Barcelona can beat Real Madrid and win this super "tiger", I believe it can improve their own strength. It can also attack Real Madrid in disguise and weaken their competitiveness.
In this situation. The Barcelona club agreed to the transfer fee of 50 million euros proposed by Lazio!
Next, as long as Barcelona can negotiate a personal contract with Falcao, starting from next season, this ferocious "tiger" will be a member of Barcelona, wearing Barcelona's red and blue jersey to attack Barcelona... …
And letting Falcao transfer to a world-renowned team like Barcelona is naturally the dream of Falcao's agent Claudio Mocio.
He even felt that after this battle, he could already rise to the top of the broker circle...

When Chang Sheng locked himself in the study, staring at the TV screen, watching the Chelsea game video one after another, and often paused, and then lowered his head to record in his notebook.
Suddenly the phone rings loudly!
He picked up the phone, and there was Lotito's excitedly incoherent voice.
"It's done! Chang! We've got it! Do you know how much? Guess? Guess!"
Chang Sheng said, "Just tell me the result, Mr. Chairman."
"Fifty million! Euros! Fifty million! And it's a one-time payment! No installment payment, no player compensation, only cash! We really did it! With this money, our debt can Nearly half of it has been removed!"
Lotito looked excited on the phone.
When he chose Chang Sheng as the head coach of Lazio, he was attracted by Chang Sheng's ability to make money. At that time, Valencia gave Changsheng a transfer budget of 25 million euros per year. As a result, the money was not spent every season, and Chang Sheng was able to sell players to make money for the club.
Combined with the situation of Lazio at the time, Chang Sheng was the head coach he needed most.
But even so, I'm afraid he didn't think about it. One day, the players of your own team can sell 50 million euros!
After Lazio's leniency from the national tax department, the debt is only 140 million euros. After these two seasons, they made up miscellaneous things and returned 19 million euros.
There is now a debt of 120 million euros left.
I bought Falcao, earned 50 million, and used it to pay off the debts, and there were only 70 million left.
Immediately, Lotito had a feeling that "the suffering is about to pass" and "good days are coming"...
In the past few years, I have saved money on food and money, and even reduced the number of disposable paper cups and toilet paper in the club. Isn't it for such a day?
In fact, when Lotito called Chang Sheng, his mood was relatively calm.
After he negotiated the transfer contract with the Barcelona club. When he walked out of the Barcelona club, he couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
He felt that everything he had paid and endured the "stingy" abuse from the Lazio fans... was worth it!
Chang Sheng naturally understood Lotito's mood at this moment. Because he knew the story of Lotito in that time and space.
At the critical moment when the Lazio club fell into life and death, it was he who injected 21 million euros into the Lazio club the day before the club's registration to help Lazio come back to life.
Although it was later said that he bought the Lazio club just to take the opportunity to sell the new stadium construction plan to the city government of Rome to obtain that piece of land.
But even so, he did help Lazio regain their lives.
His stinginess is astounding. It also aroused the disgust of the players, even the players.
Because the fans think that Lotito is unwilling to buy big-name players, and the players can't stand the maximum salary limit of two million euros.
Lotito, who was once disheartened, even wanted to sell the club. At that time, a year and a half had passed since he acquired the Lazio club. At that time, Lazio's stock price was only 43 cents per share, and Lotito lost 9 million euros in one year.
Lazio fans at the time wanted Lotito to sell the club to a pharmaceutical company represented by former club president Chinaria.
At that time, some media published the headline "Lotito vs. Everyone", which shows how much Lotito is "betrayed".
But because there are too many people against Lotito. Lotito has a bad temper. Instead, he doesn't want to sell the club, but insists on it.
He has a tough attitude towards the outside world: "Someone wants to buy Lazio? Unless they take out 500 million euros!"
Later, no one was interested in Lazio. Lazio is still his team.
Later, under Lotito's insistence, Lazio still had a maximum salary of two million euros and still did not introduce big-name players.
But Lazio won the Coppa Italia twice and reached the Champions League once.
Later, Lazio led by Lotito became the only financially healthy club in Serie A. All clubs are in financial crisis. When financial difficulties, the Lazio club can be profitable. And began to gradually relax the restrictions on the maximum salary...
This is the story of a businessman running a football club with pure business thinking.
Lazio has not reached its peak competitively, but only economically, Lotito has succeeded. You must know that Lazio almost went bankrupt before he took over, with debts of more than 100 million euros. It is he who brought this team that is about to go bankrupt back to life, no longer need to worry about huge debts, and don't have to worry about being bankrupt and liquidated next year.
It's a pity that Lazio didn't win often in that time and space.
But it's not too late to make up for this regret...
"Don't worry, Mr. Chairman. We will try to wipe out all debts this summer!"
Some people think that Lazio will be carved up by the giants this summer and become ruins.
And Chang Sheng wants to prove to them that Lazio, the blue eagle, will be reborn from the ashes and usher in a more brilliant future!
