Chapter 98 The Full Backs

Juventus, which was hit by Calcio Gate, started their journey of revival, and Milan, which was also punished by Calcio Gate, urgently needed to replenish the team's strength.

Although the media once rumored that Milan would also be relegated with Juventus, anyone who really understands knows that it is impossible.

Galliani is the chairman of the professional league and Berlusconi is the prime minister of the Italian government.

With such a big backing, how could Milan be relegated?

Not to mention that Berlusconi publicly threatened the Italian Football Association. If Milan is really relegated, his TV station will no longer buy the broadcasting rights of Serie A.

With double pressure both politically and economically, it is certainly impossible for Milan to be relegated.

But although they will not be relegated, they will start the new season with negative points.

If you want to catch up, you need additional reinforcements.

Otto is naturally a player that Milan fancy.

The outstanding performance in Lazio last season made Milan very excited.

Cafu is getting old, and the team can no longer rely on Cafu alone at the right back position, and must strengthen its strength.

Otto is a good choice.

First of all, he has excellent strength, and secondly, he is a player trained by the Milan youth academy. He has always been eager to return to Milan.

In addition, there is another reason why Milan is keen on Otto.

That is……

Poaching people from Lazio and poaching their main right back can not only enhance their own strength, but also weaken the strength of Lazio, the main competitor.

Although they have not communicated with Juventus, they believe that Juventus must have this idea when they exchanged Marchisio from Lazio with Balzaretti plus three million euros.

It not only hits the opponent, but also strengthens oneself. This is really a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

They know why Lazio sold their main players like this, because they need to pay off their debts.

They have no sympathy for Lazio at all. Instead, they want to take advantage of the fire. Because the northern duo have long been displeased with the top two teams in Rome, as long as they can hit these two teams,

They are happy to do anything.

But Chang Sheng is tougher than they imagined.

"Any form of installment payment is not accepted. Cash must be given. Once the transaction is successful, otherwise there will be no negotiation."

This is his answer to Milan.

Milan hope to buy Odo in installments. Chang Sheng didn't accept it at all.

When Milan bought Nesta from Lazio, they chose to pay in installments, which made Lazio miserable. Paying in installments, just the first payment, is not enough for Lazio to repay the debt.

The method of paying in installments, Chang Sheng can only use it against others when playing games, and absolutely cannot be used by others against himself.

Milan wants to repeat the same tricks against Lazio, so it depends on who is in charge of Lazio now!

He is not afraid to scare Milan away. I have no interest in Otto at all.

Because he knows that Milan really needs a right back.

Cafu is old, Zambrotta went to Barcelona, ​​and the only right back Milan can look at in the transfer market is Otto.

So they have to buy Odo.

This is the condition that makes Chang Sheng confident.

※※※

Chang Sheng's expectation was not bad, and Milan soon gave in.

Now the Calciopoli incident has made Milan very embarrassed, and they have no time to play tricks in the transfer market. They hope to finalize a few valuable transfers as soon as possible to appease the hearts of the fans.

Otto is undoubtedly a good choice.

They agreed to a one-time payment, but in this way, Otto's worth would not be high.

Chang Sheng doesn't matter.

He bid Otto ten million euros. Add another player.

It is indeed a bit expensive to buy a right back for 10 million. It's just that Milan has no choice now.

This ten million they have to bear.

But when he heard that Chang Sheng wanted someone, Milan became entangled.

What if the opponent names important players?

Fortunately, Chang Sheng didn't seem to want to embarrass Milan.

Changsheng wanted a player who was not valued in Milan, the right midfielder Iniazio Abate.

Although in the 2003-2004 season, the seventeen-year-old Abate got the chance to play in the Milan first team, and also broke the record of Milan's youngest player kept by Maldini.

But then Abate was rented everywhere, and there was no place for Abate in Milan's first team.

Going out on loan is a good way for young players to exercise and improve themselves. Teams often have high hopes for such players.

It's a pity that Abate, who is still playing the right midfielder at this time, performed very mediocrely on loan and could not impress Milan.

He played in Serie A for half a season in Sampdoria, but he didn't play a game and was sent back after the loan expired. Then he was loaned to Piacenza in the second division, and this time he finally got 13 appearances.

But his performance could not satisfy Milan.

In the forward position on the right. Abate could not shake Gattuso's position. Although Gattuso is a defensive midfielder, he actually started as a midfielder on the right.

Similarly, Rui Costa, Ambrosini and other good players are also playing on the bench.

And Abate's performance is far from his outstanding performance in the reserve team and youth team.

Milan gradually lost interest and confidence in him.

If no team wants to take over, they will definitely continue to rent. But Milan did not have much hope and expectation for Abate.

I didn't expect Lazio to ask for Abate by name...

Changsheng's eyes...

Is Abate really talented?

However, the scouts and coaches have watched his games as a forward on the right many times. Everyone thinks that he doesn't have much room for growth...

And compared with Otto, Abate is obviously not worth mentioning.

In the end, although Milan expressed doubts about Changsheng's motives for asking Abate, they finally chose to agree because they were eager to get Otto.

That's it, 10 million euros plus Iniazio Abate. Let Oddo go from Lazio to Milan.

He can finally return to his "hometown" that he has been dreaming about...

※※※

Many people don't understand Odo's transfer deal.

It's normal for Otto to sell it for 10 million euros. But what's the matter with Abarth who added the head?

Everyone can see that Abate's performance in the right forward position is very average. Besides, judging from Changsheng's tactics, there is no room for the right midfielder to survive... Changsheng played 433 in Lazio, and there was no winger setup. All three midfielders are central midfielders.

The wing attack is handed over to the full-back and winger, how can there be a winger?

It is impossible for Abate to play right winger, he does not have this ability.

Is it right back?

But his defensive ability is also very average...

Everyone can't figure it out, Chang Sheng will not explain to them that Abate is the main right back of Milan and the right back of the Italian national team in the future.

At the full-back position, he still has a lot of people to buy.

Odo and Zauri are gone, De Silvestri is on loan, Pasquale is on loan, and now that the loan expires, Chang Sheng does not intend to buy him out. So he returned to Inter Milan.

With only one Balzaretti, Lazio has almost no full-backs left.

Balzaretti can play the main left midfielder.

But who is the main right midfielder?

Of course Abate wants to play right back, and Chang Sheng will let him change to right back, but now he can't meet the requirements to be the main force.

As the main right back, Chang Sheng valued the Swiss international Stefan Lichtsteiner who later played for Lazio and Juventus.

This full-back with fierce defense and excellent assist ability is still unknown now.

Playing for Lille in Ligue 1.

It shouldn't cost Lazio much to buy him, but it won't be too cheap either. A million euros is always needed.

Because he has just joined Lille for one season. It would be difficult to let him go at this time.

Later he played for Lille for three years. Lazio just bought him for 1.2 million euros.

Chang Sheng picked up the phone and made an offer to Lille.

※※※

In addition to Lichtsteiner, Chang Sheng also plans to snatch Kolarov, Coentram and Azpilicueta into his account in advance.

These three players are also suitable whether they play for Lazio or sell them for money in the future.

Kolarov later moved to Manchester City from Lazio for £19 million. And now he is still messing around in Serbia, and it doesn't take much to get him. Even if he became famous in the 2007 World Youth Championship, Lazio only got him for 800,000 euros. Now that Chang Sheng wanted to buy him, it was even cheaper.

Changsheng intends to buy Kolarov for half a million euros.

Of course, Kolarov is an Eastern European player. EU players are not counted, so a non-EU quota is required.

So Changsheng intends to talk to Belgrade, the team Kolarov plays for, so they will pay for Kolarov, but the transfer transaction will be postponed until next summer. This way Lazio will have a non-EU quota.

This season, let Kolarov continue to play OK in Belgrade. It's like renting out.

Coentrao is also cheap right now.

He plays for the Ave River club in Portugal. The Ave River team has just been relegated at the end of last season. This season, they can only play in the second tier of Portugal, which is the Portuguese First Division.

Coentrao played only four times in the first two seasons, scoring one goal. Clearly underappreciated and too young.

His explosive season will also be the 2006-2007 season, when he played the main force in the Avi River in the First Division. Then one million euros went to Benfica.

Chang Sheng now wants to cut off the beard in advance, and bring Coentrao to Lazio at a lower price, as a substitute for Balzaretti. At this time, Coentrao was still a midfielder. After arriving in Lazio, Changsheng wanted to train him to be a left back.

Finally, the main right-back of Ligue 1 giants Marseille, who later joined Chelsea's Cesar Azpilicueta. Like Coentrao and Abate, he played as a midfielder when he debuted, and later became an excellent full-back.

It is easier to get Azpilicueta. Changsheng doesn't even need to pay a transfer fee, just a symbolic compensation to the Osasuna club.

Because Azpilicueta, who was born on August 28, 1989, was not yet seventeen years old at this time.

According to Spanish law, players under the age of 18 cannot sign professional contracts.

So now Azpilicueta is not bound by a contract, any team can sign him and take him away from Osasuna.

It's just that at this time, not many people can clearly know his future value.

But Chang Sheng knows.

About eight million euros!

This is really a good deal...
