The story of Liverpool and Giroud is simply like a sad and touching love story.
A descendant of a down-and-out aristocrat whose ancestors were rich fell in love with a beautiful girl.
In his opinion, this girl is beautiful, charming, gentle and kind. If he can marry her, he will die without regrets in his life.
And the most important thing is that being able to marry such a beautiful girl can also honor the ancestors and shut up those who laugh at the dilapidation of his family.
He showed his sincerity and showed proof of his ancestor's wealth. He pointed to the castle that had been reborn from the grass and told the girl that it used to be his family's summer villa.
He pointed to the land with abundant water and grass and told the girl that it had been his family's hunting ground a hundred years ago.
He showed off the glory of his ancestors.
Then wearing patched and tattered clothes, he said to the girl: "I love you, my dear. Marry me! Although I don't have a fancy car or a mansion now, my family once had one! Although I am very poor now, but
Our family is a noble, and our children will be noble queens from now on!"
He thought that all he had to do could impress this beautiful girl.
But who would have thought that this beautiful girl would say to him: "I'm sorry, you are a good person, but we can't always live in the glory of the past. Memories cannot be eaten..."
Then she turned around and fell into the arms of a handsome, rich man named Tottenham Hotspur.
The tall, handsome, and rich man puts his arms around the beautiful woman, but also scolds the young man from the Li family for being ugly and poor, and actually wants to marry a beautiful woman as his wife? What a toad that wants to eat swan meat, so he won't urinate in order to show off your virtue!
The beautiful girl looked at the devastated Liverpool, her eyes full of regret and helplessness.
After having ridiculed his failed love rival, Gao Shuaifu was about to leave with the beauty.
Driving a sports car back to their luxurious villa.
At this moment, the heartbroken Liverpool suddenly raised his head and called the girl: "Wait, before I leave, I want to ask one last question..."
Although the girl stopped, she did not look back.
Her mind flashed to Liverpool's proud expression as he showed her the glory of his ancestors.
But what's the use of that? It belongs to your ancestors, but not to you.
If you could use this time to work hard, maybe things would be different by now.
Even if you can't become the head of a big plutocrat like Chelsea or Manchester United, you can still be the same as Tottenham Hotspur, right?
If that were the case, I might not choose Tottenham Hotspur...
It's a pity, don't you still know where you really lost?
So the girl didn't look back and said, "Don't be stupid."
She said this, opened the car door herself, and got into the luxury sports car.
And Tottenham Hotspur coach laughed loudly and pointed at Liverpool and said: "Don't be stupid! Do you hear that? Don't be stupid!!"
Finally, amid laughter, Gao Shuaifu put his arms around the beauty and drove away in a sports car.
Only poor Liverpool was left, kneeling on the ground, looking at the sports car that had long since disappeared, wanting to cry without tears.
Then the lens rises and zooms out.
In the grassy wilderness, Liverpool knelt on the ground. As the camera zoomed out, the long-abandoned castle was revealed behind him, which was the property of his ancestors. It used to be...
The camera is zooming out.
The sports car has already driven out of the camera.
There is only a burst of smoke at the upper edge of the lens, indicating that a car has driven here.
Wild grass, jungle and a lake. If no one had taken care of it, this place should have been a beautiful manor before, right?
The camera continues to zoom out.
Liverpool kneeling on the ground has turned into a black spot.
The screen gradually darkens and subtitles appear.
Starring: Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Giroud, Lazio...
Welcome everyone to watch "Don't Be Silly", a sad drama about the football transfer market this summer.
※※※
Selling Giroud to Tottenham Hotspur netted Lazio 18 million euros.
This is the normal value of Giroud, a Lazio backup forward.
He has won many championships, which is a bonus, but he didn't play many games with Lazio and didn't score many goals, which limited his room for further price increases.
What makes Chang Sheng most regretful is that Manchester United did not raise the price for Giroud this time, otherwise I believe it could have been sold for 25 million.
What a shame!
Belletti left Lazio on a free transfer and returned to Brazil.
Lazio has four players departing this summer.
They brought 108 million euros in revenue to the club and also saved 205 million euros in annual salary.
The saved wages were put into the wage budget, making Lazio's wage budget much wider.
This helps attract other players to join the team.
※※※
In fact, when selling people, Chang Sheng was already preparing to buy people.
But it's just preparation.
Changsheng decides who to buy based on the situation of the seller.
What he needs is alignment adjustment, not buying a lot of people he doesn't need to stack up.
That's simply a waste of money and productivity.
Now that the transfer negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur are almost complete, Chang Sheng thinks it's OK.
Lazio will never sell anyone again, no matter how valuable the other players are or how many zeros the checks in the hands of those clubs have.
Selling four players is considered a positive blood draw for the team.
If it is sold again, it will be a big hemorrhage...
Now he can start buying people.
Although Giroud hadn't left at that time, it was only a matter of time.
Four players left this summer, two were midfielders, Cazorla and Motta, one was a right back, Belletti, and the other was center Giroud.
He has always won at the right back position and thinks there is no need to buy anyone.
Because Lazio now has two ready-made right backs. When Belletti was here, there were three, which is a bit too much.
Now that Belletti is gone, the redundancy has been cleared.
The configuration of the remaining two right-backs is just right.
No need to buy any more people.
Then the main thing is to supplement the players in the midfield and forward.
Chang Sheng does not need to buy those to play the main force, otherwise he would not sell Cazorla and Motta.
What he wants is to be a rotation player.
The same principle applies to forward signings.
He originally thought that he would go all over the world to find people and then try his best to negotiate with the opposing club.
It's really "effortful".
No exaggeration at all.
After becoming famous for his winning vision.
Whichever player Lazio sets its sights on now, that player will be robbed, or the other club will ask for an exorbitant price.
It is said that some clubs have laid off scouts because they don't need scouts. They only need to read the media reports about who Lazio is interested in, so go and grab them. You can't be wrong!
Some agents and teams simply use winning streaks as advertisements when they want to promote their players.
"Our players have been favored by the winning streak!"
"I think back then, Changsheng was all interested in my players. If my players weren't so loyal to the team, he would have been honored by now! So you see such a good player, no matter what, he has to pay fifty more
An annual salary of 10,000 yuan, right?”
…
Of course, many of them are scammers.
I'm afraid Chang Sheng himself doesn't know whether Chang Sheng has ever been interested in this player, but those agents dare to brag about it.
And...someone actually got fooled!
In order to get the club to raise his salary, some players also lied that Chang Sheng was seducing him and that if the club did not raise his salary to keep him, he would go to Lazio...
Now every summer in the transfer market, Chang Sheng is the eternal protagonist, and his name is always mentioned repeatedly.
Regardless of whether it is really related to him...
This adds a lot of difficulty to Lazio's recruitment.
It is getting harder and harder for Lazio to buy suitable players...
Faced with this chaos, Chang Sheng often had to come out to refute rumors, and Lazio also denied many transfer transactions that did not exist.
But to no avail. Rumors about Lazio and Chang Sheng in the transfer market are getting worse and worse.
However, Chang Sheng did nothing but refute the rumors. He was not in a hurry at all.
Because he thinks what these idiots are doing is just to help him cover up.
Now everyone believes the rumors of those idiots.
Soon, no one will believe it.
It's like "the wolf is coming".
When someone says that they are related to Chang Sheng and Lazio, no one will believe them.
But even if there is true news, the credibility has been reduced.
In this way, the true intentions of Chang Sheng and Lazio were once again concealed...
Therefore, although Lazio will inevitably encounter sky-high prices from the selling club, it is nothing more than bargaining.
At least the players Lazio is interested in will no longer be robbed by other teams...
This is the most important thing.
No one is competing with Chang Sheng, even if the other party wants it all over the world, they still can't afford it.
※※※
However, it has not reached this point yet, and it is still difficult for Lazio to buy people.
Chang Sheng is already prepared to fight to the bitter end with those clubs that are trying to grab him.
It is almost impossible to keep these things secret.
Look at Arsenal, look at Manchester United, and then look at Liverpool.
With so many transfers, the media has been adding fuel to the flames.
They will do everything possible to find out the details and content of the transfer from within the club.
Then break the news.
They use this method to increase their sales and attract readers' attention.
In the summer, when there are no games, what everyone likes to watch most is transfers.
There are all kinds of transfer rumors flying in the transfer market. Whoever can have a reliable source of information must expose it and let their own media become the focus.
The summer transfer period is also a feast for the media.
Players, teams, agents, fans and media are all involved.
It’s a real football event!
But what surprised Chang Sheng was when he thought that his buying plan this summer would be difficult.
The actual result is exactly the opposite!
This year's recruitment work went so smoothly that he couldn't believe it! (To be continued...)
