Chapter 150 Chang Sheng's Real Goal

Melo's stellar performance in the Copa America was unexpected. After all, in Chang Sheng's knowledge of the previous Melo, he did not participate in the 2007 America's Cup. After he moved to Fiorentina in 2008, he was selected for the Brazilian national team with his outstanding performance. It was already 2009 at that time.

But the so-called gold will always shine.

So Melo performed very well in his first international competition.

Especially in Dunga's tactics, he is like a duck to water.

Dunga played defensive counterattack, Changsheng played offensive football, two completely different tactics, why did Melo perform so well?

It's very simple. Whether it's Dunga's defensive counterattack or his winning offensive football, defense takes up a large proportion and is at the core of tactics.

Defense needs defense, which is nonsense, and offense needs defense even more.

So no matter which set of tactics he is in, Melo can get along well.

His outstanding performance in the Brazilian national team immediately attracted the attention of more giants.

And this time it's not just limited to rumors.

These giants have practical actions!

Juventus are feeling the pressure.

If they don't do it again, maybe Melo will be snatched away. As for Chang Sheng's saying that Melo is not for sale...he is simply farting! Everyone knows that Chang Sheng has no items not for sale. The so-called not-for-sale items are just because the price is inappropriate and too low...

※※※

Juventus finally couldn't sit still.

They offered Changsheng 20 million euros to buy Melo.

When Chang Sheng saw the price, he sneered.

Recently, the media has said that if you don’t have 30 million, don’t even think about taking Melo away, so why don’t you show up with 20 million?

20 million is the net worth before the America's Cup, after the America's Cup, Melo starts from 30 million!

Chang Sheng returned a "not for sale" and rejected Juventus.

He does not believe that Juventus will have no money,

Juventus are rich. So when slaughtering people, don't be soft-hearted at all.

He is in no hurry.

Anyway, the Copa America final hasn't started yet.

He can wait until the final is over before discussing Melo with Juventus.

He can afford to wait.

※※※

He can afford to wait, Juventus can't afford to wait.

Offer another 22 million euros to buy Merlot.

Chang Sheng knew that Juventus really wanted Melo. At this time, he felt that it was almost the same. Putting on the attitude of "not for sale" is not doing business in good faith.

So this time he returned a price of 40 million euros!

It's an offer that would scare off most clubs, but not Juventus.

Because they are now eager to replenish their strength. Observing Melo continuously for more than a month has made them firm in the idea that Melo is an excellent player. Melo is of course an excellent player, but it is not certain whether he is a good player for Juventus...

Since he insists that Melo is the key player his club needs, 40 million will naturally not scare them away.

Although it will make them feel a little surprised, but it will not turn away as soon as they hear the offer.

And most importantly, this price is only 10 million euros higher than the rumored 30 million worth, which is still a conscience price.

From this quotation, those who are interested in Juventus should be able to see something else.

That is, Melo is not for sale as Chang Sheng said.

As long as you can buy it. As for the price... well said!

※※※

After seeing this offer, Juventus and Lazio are not playing the bargaining game anymore.

Blanco directly called Chang Sheng.

"Let's open the skylight and speak the truth, Chang. Everyone understands."

Chang Sheng pretended to be confused: "I don't understand what you are talking about, Mr. Blanco."

Blanco had nothing to say to the shameless Chang Sheng.

He decided not to go around in circles with Chang Sheng, but to get straight to the point.

"I'll be blunt, Chang. We need Melo, and you can make an offer, as long as the terms are right. We can talk."

What Chang Sheng secretly wants is your words!

But he coughed: "Melo is..."

Blanco was speechless: "Okay, Chang. We all know what you mean by that sentence. Don't tell me that. It's okay to lie to Lazio fans. I'm serious about talking to you about Melo future."

Chang Sheng coughed: "Okay, then I won't go around in circles. My condition is very simple, 40 million euros."

Blanco felt a vein pop out of his forehead.

However, he still knew that negotiating was actually asking for a lot of money, paying back the money on the ground, as long as there was sincerity, the other party could negotiate for any price.

He firmly believes that Lazio can't keep Melo.

That's why he came to call Chang Sheng.

So Blanco didn't take Chang Sheng's words to heart. Instead, he continued: "Forty million is not possible. We need to agree. We can give twenty-five million."

Chang Sheng refused without hesitation: "This is impossible. A member of the America's Cup champion team cannot be worth such a small amount of money."

"But the Copa America final hasn't been played yet..."

"I have confidence in my players. The Brazilian team will definitely beat Argentina and win the championship!"

Blanco is not here to discuss with Chang Sheng who will win the Copa America between Brazil and Argentina. He brought the topic back on track.

"Okay. Let's make a price...Don't say anything like 40 million."

Chang Sheng grinned silently: "30 million, plus Chiellini."

There was no sound from Blanco.

Chang Sheng is not bad, he knows that Blanc needs time to think about whether this condition is suitable.

He said before that the focus of Lazio's transfer work this summer is how to sell Melo at a high price.

This sentence is true, but it is not Lazio's real goal.

The real goal is only known to him in the whole club.

The real target is Chiellini.

Chiellini, the main central defender of the Italian national team and Juventus in the future.

Of course, he is still immature in the central defender position, or... can't be described as immature.

In the second division, almost all of Juventus' central defenders were killed last season.

Baumsson has been injured and so has Lero Taille.

Juventus's defense is really no one available.

So Chiellini, who was originally left behind because of the main left-back status, was pushed to the position of central defender by the then head coach Didier Deschamps.

Because he was the most suitable height at that time.

As a result, this young man who had never played a central defender was kicked out of the rack like this. In this unfamiliar position, he bit the bullet and started working.

The result can be imagined.

Chiellini was booed by Juventus fans almost every game in this position. Because his performance was really terrible, with all kinds of mistakes and all kinds of missed goals.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponents are all second-tier teams and are really too weak, I'm afraid the fans would have rebelled long ago.

Chang Sheng's understanding of Chiellini.

Later, after the upgrade, Juventus introduced the Czech international center back Grygera from Ajax. And the Portuguese international central defender Andrade was introduced from Deportivo, and they were expected to use them as central defenders. At that time, Grigera and Andrade were the main central defenders of their respective national teams, with outstanding strength.

It can be seen from this that Juventus is not at ease with Chiellini, a player who helped the team upgrade in the second division.

As a result, I didn't expect that just after playing four games for Juventus, the Portuguese was injured and missed the entire season.

As a last resort, Chiellini was pulled out again to play central defender.

But the performance is still bad. During the winter break, there was another news that Juventus would sell Chiellini.

To this end, Juventus also loaned central defender Stendaldo from Lazio.

There are so many introductions at centre-back. This shows Juventus' attitude towards Chiellini.

Therefore, Chang Sheng is very aware of Juventus' attitude, so he knows that Juventus will not stop Chiellini's departure.

In fact, in the second division, Juventus already felt that Chiellini was not as talented as they thought.

Terrible at centre-back.

Blanco has no resistance to Changsheng asking Chiellini by name, but because he is a veteran negotiator, he habitually wants to lower the price.

So he frowned. Sighing: "No, Chiellini is our main central defender..."

Chang Sheng retorted: "The main central defender who was booed by his team every game last season?"

Blanco stopped talking. He really doesn't have the vision and ability to judge whether a player is good or not.

But he also has many basic things. He watched every Juventus game last season and Chiellini really sucked at centre-back.

The media criticized every day, and the fans booed every game.

Coach Didier Deschamps once said to Blanco in private that if it weren't for the fact that there is no one available at the central defender position, he would definitely not let Chiellini play...

"25 million plus Chiellini." Blanco countered.

"Chiellini is not worth so much money. Mr. Blanco." Chang Sheng smiled.

※※※

The last two people bargained, and Lazio and Juventus finally reached an agreement on Melo.

Melo transferred from Lazio to Juventus for 28 million euros plus Chiellini.

Chang Sheng got his dream player and a lot of money.

There is no better deal than this one.

As for Chiellini, Chang Sheng is not worried at all.

In the time and space he knew well. Chiellini is completely a world-class central defender burst out by various forwards.

If you make more mistakes, you will naturally mature.

But at Lazio he doesn't have to go through this process.

Because Changsheng has training skills.

From next season, Chang Sheng will use the skill [This is how geniuses are made] for Chiellini.

In addition, he must be given various special training to improve his defensive ability.

Although the current Chiellini is still lacking in ability, at least his psychological quality is good.

Being booed like that by Juventus fans, many people may not even dare to step on the pitch. For example, the young left-back Drenthe of Real Madrid.

But Chiellini not only insisted on playing again and again, but also insisted on being abused to become a first-class central defender!

With such a psychological quality, Chang Sheng feels that Chiellini has a great future, no matter in this time and space or in that time and space.
