Chapter 99

Because of Marchisio's departure, the ever-victorious midfielder lost one more player.

So Chang Sheng has to continue to buy midfielders.

Chang Sheng still intends to poach the corner of Juventus in the future.

When Milan and Juventus weakened Lazio because of them, they don't know who is weakening whom...

What Chang Sheng valued was Antonio Nocerino, the main midfielder of Juventus and the captain of the Italian national team under the age of 21.

Before Changsheng crossed, Nocerino was already a player of Milan.

Before joining Juventus in the 2007-2008 season, Nocerino has been in the low-level teams, from Avellino to Genoa, then to Cantanzaro, to Crotone, and then to Messi Na, Piacenza.

The experience of this player can be described as ups and downs...

It wasn't until Juventus bought out half of his ownership for 4.7 million euros in 2007 that he was able to turn around.

He performed well after joining Juventus and was later spotted by Palermo.

A year later he moved to Palermo for 7.5 million euros.

At that time, Juventus did not want to let him go, but Palermo insisted on taking away this tough midfield interceptor.

No way, Juventus had to let people go.

In the three seasons in Palermo, Nocerino performed well and secured the team's main force until he was valued by Milan.

At the same time he was also selected for the Italian national team.

Nocerino is a versatile midfielder, the best defensively, but also has the ability to create offensively.

In Changsheng's tactical system, because of the large amount of running, there are very few players who can play all games in a season, so there is no need to worry about not having a chance to play.

It is not difficult to take Nocerino away from Piacenza. Just give enough money.

Back then, Piacenza could cheat Juventus without Moggi, but now it can't cheat Changsheng.

And Nocerino was expensive at that time because he played very well in Piacenza in the 2006-2007 season,

The core, with 37 league appearances and two Coppa Italia appearances, six goals in one season.

And now...he is still being transferred around, and no one sees his potential.

So in the end, after some bargaining, Lazio won Nocerino for 800,000 euros.

※※※

When Chang Sheng transfers day and night. The World Cup is also over.

Before the World Cup, Chang Sheng asked Kate Gracie to gamble on the World Cup with the investment company's money. He bought Italy to win the championship and finally made a small profit.

Italy did win the World Cup in accordance with historical inertia. Italy's victory is inevitable. Even if Chang Sheng crosses over, it can't change this fact.

Italy's success is the team's success, but also the underdog's victory.

Everyone is not optimistic about them, but it helps Italy reduce the pressure.

In contrast to the defending champion Brazil, the five-star Brazil has been very high-profile since the beginning of the campaign. They can even sell the broadcast rights of their training camps. When the Brazilian team is training. Tickets were sold to the outside world, and fans and reporters flocked to watch the Brazilian team's training, and even a TV station broadcast live.

Made it very high-profile.

The results of it?

Such a team with high expectations. Been stuck from the very first game. If it weren't for Kaka's goal in the first game, they might not even win Croatia.

In the end they were eliminated by a French team led by a group of veterans.

After the World Cup, there are many players who have soared in value because of their outstanding performance in the World Cup. There are also those whose value has declined due to poor performance in the World Cup.

But these have nothing to do with Chang Sheng.

In the Lazio team, not many players participated in the World Cup.

Jose Passarella was selected for the Spanish national team. But the main central defender in Lazio was just a substitute in Spain, and only got a total of 40 minutes of playing time.

Benzema was selected for the French national team, also as a substitute, he is not as good as José Passarella, because he doesn't even have a minute of playing time.

Otto and Peruzzi were selected for the Italian national team.

But these two are also substitutes. Italy's main right back is Zambrotta, and the main goalkeeper is Buffon.

Other players who performed well in Lazio, such as David Silva, Khedira, Melo, Modric, Pavon, and Marchisio, were not selected for the national team.

For a strong team, the more capable international footballers in the team, the better their strength.

So Lazio does not seem to be in the mainstream.

But Chang Sheng doesn't care about this, he's even happy.

After every World Cup, there is something called "World Cup Syndrome".

The more international players in the team participated in the World Cup, the worse the team's condition will be.

Because these international footballers have just played a hard season, they hardly rested, and immediately devoted themselves to preparing for the World Cup. Then play a few games in the World Cup. If the team is lucky and performs well and reaches the final, it will be even worse...

When the World Cup is over, it will be July 9th. The registration date for the Serie A team is on the 16th, how many days are left?

Therefore, players who participated in the World Cup will be approved to delay their return to the team, especially those who participated in the finals, they will not be allowed to return to the team until the end of July.

In this way, their rest time is guaranteed. But the team's overall preparation plan was completely disrupted.

Due to lack of personnel, the team can only conduct physical training, not tactical training. And after these players return to the team, the staff is neat, but they still can't devote themselves to tactical training. Because those players who return to the team late also need to undergo physical training to reserve physical energy.

It's just that their training time has to be compressed, and their physical training hastily ended. This will naturally reduce the quality of team training.

In the end, the players entered the fierce league, but their state has not adjusted, their performance is not good, and the team's performance also declines.

This is the cause of the "World Cup syndrome".

In this World Cup, the Italian and French teams finally reached the final, so the Italian internationals are very tired.

Many teams with Italian internationals will be more or less affected, except for those small teams with few international players.

But they don't have to care too much about the results of the new season.

There are only a few teams that need to compete for the championship in the new season. The impact is not small.

But Lazio is an exception.

Because there is no Italian international in the Lazio team.

Both Odoi and Peruzzi left the team.

There is a French international who is still on the bench and doesn't have a minute of playing time.

So Lazio will be the least affected.

In fact, Lazio's pre-season training is almost normal.

Because the only active Lazio players who participated in the World Cup are Jose Passarella and Benzema.

Benzema played a Soy Sauce Cup.

Jose Passarella was also a substitute, and his Spanish national team was eliminated by the French team in the 16-to-8 match.

Although Chang Sheng still told him that he could report to the team later, he still arrived in Formello on time on the 16th.

When the players returned to the team one after another, the transfer work also progressed smoothly.

Lichtsteiner, Coentraan, Kolarov, Azpilicueta and Nocerino all signed successively.

Plus Falcao, Cavani, Cazorla, Balzaretti, and Ledesma who have been dealt with before.

Lazio's signings in the new season are over.

In terms of selling players and cleaning them up, the results are also brilliant.

Pandev was sold to Fiorentina for 13.3 million euros, and Zauri switched to Fiorentina for 4 million.

Otto went to Milan for 10 million. Marchisio's going to Juventus brought Changsheng three million euros.

De Silvestri was on loan, Livelani and Gianni Keida left automatically when their contracts expired, but Peruzzi's contract did not arrive. But there is no place for him in the team, so in the end Lotito let him go, instead of making another profit from the old goalkeeper, but let him leave freely. Crebali, Pasquale, and Borriello all have their lease contracts expired and they will automatically return to their original teams.

Selling players earned Lazio 30.3 million euros in revenue.

As for buying players. Chang Sheng is very frugal.

Cavani spent Lazio 2.3 million euros, Falcao 3 million and Cazorla 1.5 million. Balzaretti was an addition to Marchisio's transfer and cost nothing. Abarth is also an addition to Odo's transfer, without spending a penny. Ledesma was a free transfer after the contract with Lecce expired. Nocerino 800,000 euros, Lichtsteiner 1 million euros. Kolarov's compensation of 500,000, Coentrao's 300,000, and Azpilicueta's 50,000 euros in compensation are no different from those picked up for nothing...

These add up to cost Lazio... 9.45 million euros!

Ten players. 9.45 million euros, an average of 945,000 euros per person...

In Lotito's first season in office, he introduced eleven players with an average of 100,000 euros per player.

Although the average price of Changsheng is higher than that of Lotito. But in the eyes of outsiders, the price is still very stingy...

This is Chang Sheng's ability. He is good at doing big things with small money.

This is the skill that a traverser should possess.

In fact, why did Lotito pursue Changsheng so tirelessly?

It is because Changsheng can buy at a low price. Sell ​​at a high price and make money for the club in the transfer market.

And at the same time, under such a premise, he can ensure that the team's performance does not decline and win the championship!

There are many head coaches and managers in the world who can buy low and sell high to make money for the team, and there is no shortage of head coaches who can lead the team to championships.

But those who can combine the two are rare.

Changsheng is one of the best.

Whether it is Getafe or Valencia, the financial situation of the clubs he stays in is not good, and they have all encountered economic crises.

But under such circumstances, he still led the team to win one game after another, winning one championship after another.

So Lotito will be delighted to be able to grab the usual wins.

With Changsheng, it is as if Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang. From now on, Lazio will be able to become a real giant with three points in the world! (to be continued)
