Chapter 93 Quit Playing? (One Hundred and Thirty-Two/One Hundred and Thirty-Four)

You can guess how the media evaluated this game the next day, including Handanovic's mistake, without even looking at it.

Handanovic will be under tremendous pressure after the game.

But the worse was yet to come.

Ter Stegen's injury is serious.

The knee ligament is torn and he will miss the rest of the season. If things go wrong, he may not be able to play in the beginning of next season!

This news means that in the next game, Lazio can only rely on Handanovic to guard the goal.

But everyone saw Handanovic's mistake in this game. Although his performance improved later, the mistake in the high-altitude ball was still not solved. Lazio had to let other players Come help him fill this gap.

When Handanovic becomes Lazio's starting goalkeeper, his high ball weakness will definitely become something that other teams will pay attention to.

By then, Lazio will inevitably be under greater pressure.

It was like a landmine was planted in Lazio's team, but it was not used to blow up the enemy, but to blow up itself.

One day I might step on it accidentally.

Is it appropriate to entrust the rest of Lazio's fate to Handanovic?

This was one of the topics of debate in the media in the following days.

※※※

On the first day after Chang Sheng resumed training, he had a private conversation with Handanovic.

Chang Sheng wanted to see Handanovic's current mental state.

If it doesn't work, he will comfort and enlighten him.

The position of goalkeeper is very important and requires a lot of emotional control from the players.

If a goalkeeper cannot control his emotions, he will put both the team and himself in danger.

As a result, as soon as they met, Chang Sheng realized that his worries were unnecessary.

There was no restlessness or dejection in Handanovich's face as he stood before him.

If you just look at his current mental level, you can't tell that this man made a mistake of his own in last night's game. Almost cost the team the game.

Of course, this does not mean that Handanovic is short-sighted.

Chang Sheng was pleased that Handanovic moved on from that mistake so quickly.

"I feel relieved when I see your expression." Chang Sheng said to Handanovich.

Handanovich also smiled: "Actually, I'm still a little frustrated, boss."

"how?"

"I didn't expect that I would be so old that I can't even jump anymore." Handanovich smiled and scratched his head.

"This is the magic of time, Samir. Look at me, I'm almost fifty years old. I think you already know about Mark (Andre ter Stegen), so you should also know what's next. What are you going to do...I called you here mainly to confirm your condition. I feel relieved after seeing your current mood."

Handanovic straightened his body: "I will try my best, boss! I promise that mistakes like the one in the last game will not happen again, and I promise that the team will not lose again in the Champions League. One goal!”

Chang Sheng waved his hand: "This is too absolute.

Samir. I don’t need your promise not to drop the ball. That's not your responsibility alone. You and I will do our best, so don't leave any regrets for this season. "

Handanovich nodded.

But in his heart, he regarded what he said as a promise and kept it firmly in his mind.

In fact, there are only two games left to win the Champions League, one is the second leg of the semi-finals. One is the final.

If you want to advance to the finals, you must not concede a goal in the next game against Barcelona. Once Lazio concedes a goal on the road, it will cause a devastating blow to Lazio's morale and confidence.

So at Camp Nou. He must not lose the ball.

As long as he doesn't concede a goal, he believes that with his team's offensive capabilities, he can still eliminate Barcelona and advance to the finals.

In the finals. No matter who the opponent is, as long as they don’t concede the ball. Then there is a great chance of winning the game.

Therefore, Handanovic said that in subsequent Champions League games, he will try not to concede a goal. It's not as simple as showing loyalty, but sincerely thinking so and intending to do so.

The boss may not want to put too much pressure on himself, but as the team's last line of defense, he must have high standards and strict demands on himself.

The goal conceded in the last game was my own fault, so I will have to atone for myself next!

※※※

Seeing that Handanovich was full of confidence, Chang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step is how to deal with Barcelona.

But just when Chang Sheng was about to calm down and deal with Barcelona, ​​the Italian media exposed another piece of news related to Lazio.

"...The latest news we have received, according to well-informed sources, is that a foreign capital is currently trying to acquire shares in Lazio Club...but they are not acquiring shares from other small shareholders in Lazio, they are targeting Lazio. The club’s largest shareholder, club owner and president Lotito has no shares! In other words... Lotito is looking to sell his shares in Lazio!”

Chang Sheng doesn't watch the news very often unless there is something very important.

However, he obviously did not know about this matter in advance, so he did not see it on TV, let alone on the Internet. He only found out about it after reporters blew up his external contact number. .

When he just heard that Lotito was going to sell off his shares in Lazio, he was also surprised.

He repeatedly asked the reporter who came to him to confirm the news: "Is this true?"

The reporter was helpless: "If I knew it was true, would I still ask you to confirm it, Chang?"

Chang Sheng thought about it, and saw that he was not sure: "I can't be sure, I don't know what's going on..."

"Did you and Lotito have any communication about this at the statue inauguration ceremony?"

"No, no. Not at all. We didn't discuss any issues related to shares. Mr. Chairman didn't express any intention in this regard." Although he had broken up with Lotito, Chang Sheng still called Lotito "Mr. Chairman" to the outside world. It really gave Lotito enough face.

After hanging up the phone, Chang Sheng thought more and more strangely.

At first, he thought it was no big deal, it must be another rumor fabricated by the media. They have done this before.

In the past seventeen years. There have been five or six rumors about his discord with Lotito, four or five rumors about his leaving Lazio, and seven or eight rumors about Lotito selling his shares.

But each time it was proven to be false.

But this time, there were too many reporters who came to ask him this question, as if they had learned the inside information from a very certain channel.

As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. If one person says this, Changsheng sneers. If two people say it, Changsheng is half-believing and half-doubting. If three people say it, Changsheng will seriously start to consider whether the rumor is true or false.

Now it is no longer a question of "three people make a tiger", but now it is "N people make a tiger".

Too many people come to ask him the same question, and he will lose his judgment.

Is Lotito really going to sell his shares?

But why would he do this?

Changsheng thought that the best way to solve this problem was to call Lotito and ask clearly.

But when he dialed Lotito's number, he heard a prompt tone of "Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off".

Lotito's phone was turned off!

※※※

Chang Sheng couldn't get the truth from Lotito. He had to search the Internet for news reports about this matter.

From the vast network, he soon found out why the media reporters were so excited this time.

Because there was already very accurate news.

A consortium from Russia announced that they were trying to acquire shares of Lazio Club.

And they also mentioned that the person negotiating with them was Lotito, the chairman of Lazio Club!

Although Lotito himself has not admitted it, the acquirer has already admitted it - so what is there to doubt?

It is a foregone conclusion that Lotito is trying to transfer the club's shares!

Chang Sheng stared at the screen for a long time before he came back to his senses.

He finally understood why the reporters were so crazy...

It has been almost twenty years since Lotito took over Lazio. These twenty years. It turned Lazio from a bankrupt team into a European hegemon.

During the honeymoon period of Changsheng and Lotito, Lotito was considered the most successful and greatest chairman of Lazio.

Lotito was even equated with Lazio, and everyone forgot that Lazio was actually a listed company. It had a board of directors and shareholders.

They thought it was Lotito's private property.

The more Changsheng knew about these news, the more strange it became.

So many news reports swore that Lotito was interested in selling up to 60% of his shares.

The news was reported by the world's famous news agencies and media, and there was no need for them to lie about Lazio.

Does Lazio have any conflict of interest with them? If they need them to discredit it...

So what they reported should be true.

Lotito is going to sell his shares?

And the news did not say part of the shares, but all the shares!

That's 60% of the shares!

Whoever gets it will be the new boss of the club!

With Lazio's performance over the years, the stock price has soared many times compared to when Lotito first took over!

It takes a huge amount of money to buy these shares.

And Lotito can also reap a lot of benefits by selling these shares.

But why did he sell them?

What reason did he have to do this?

Changsheng still couldn't figure it out.

He had already driven himself away, so what else in Lazio could stop him? He could build this club and this team according to his own ideas...

And then at this time he announced that he would quit playing.

Why?
