The media who were unhappy with Chang Sheng and Lazio finally found something to criticize.
Even if Lazio sold Casoka and Motta before, they didn't dare to make irresponsible remarks.
Because Chang Sheng has proven with facts that anyone can do well if Lazio leaves, as long as he doesn't leave.
What if after Cazorla and Motta left Lazio one after another, they jumped out to ridicule and badmouth Lazio.
Then it is very likely that in the end... no, it is not very likely, but it is 100% certain that he will be slapped in the face by the always-win Lazio in the new season...
So the media have learned a lot.
Only this time, the situation is different.
This time it is not so much about Lazio and Chang Sheng, but more about the media sowing discord.
By hyping up Ballack's joining the team, it was used to stir up conflicts between other Lazio players and the club, and to stir up conflicts between them and Ballack.
In the end, there was never peace in the Lazio dressing room.
Now the only way to make Lazio miserable is to plunge them into civil strife.
Lazio without civil unrest is terrible.
Pacheco said to the host on a TV show with an exaggerated expression: "Do you know what Ballack's annual salary is at Chelsea? Sixty-two million pounds! Converted into euros, that's ten thousand euros! Even if he is willing
A salary cut, but it will not exceed 6 million. How can Lazio afford such a large amount of money? Moreover, Ballack is a free transfer. According to the usual practice, Lazio not only cannot allow Ballack to reduce his salary, but also has to give him
Salary increase...and what is their salary cap standard? Four million euros! And no player in the entire Lazio team has this annual salary. Who does this highest standard annual salary belong to? Chang!"
"That's right, it's Chang! He will always get the highest salary in the team! This was stated in the contract extension between Lazio Club and Chang. So, okay, now Ballack is here, with six million
, or even an annual salary of 7 million euros. What should Chang do? Chang will definitely need a salary increase. If he raises his salary, will the other players get a raise? No, everyone is unbalanced. Why can you two get a high salary?
Will Lazio's finances collapse soon? I heard that Lazio club is still planning to build a new stadium. Their current finances can be said to be tight..."
Pacheco talked endlessly on the show, citing various data to prove that what he said was true. He racked his brains to sow discord and create a momentum of public opinion, thus affecting the Lazio club.
He even looked forward to the next day when Lazio's main players would come forward and ask the club to give him a salary increase...
That would be lively.
※ ※ ※
But Pacheco was disappointed again.
The next day, what he was waiting for was not the news that Lazio's main players were asking for a salary increase.
It was the refutation of the rumors by both the Lazio club and Ballack's agent.
"We cannot disclose Ballack's specific annual salary, but what we can tell everyone is that this number certainly does not break the current maximum salary cap standard of our club!"
Lazio's official spokesperson told reporters.
The club does not publish the annual salary of the players, which is an unspoken rule.
On the one hand, it is for privacy reasons, and on the other hand, it also facilitates certain players to evade taxes. For example, Messi once evaded millions in taxes in Barcelona.
If all the salary and income were published, it would be transparent. If everyone goes to the club's official website and searches, it will be all there.
Then doesn’t the tax department know how much tax the player should pay?
Then if you look at their tax payment records, it will be clear whether there is any tax evasion.
Players' annual salary figures revealed by various media on the Internet are basically estimated by the media themselves. No one dares to say that their annual salary figures are correct. This is the same as transfer fees.
Everyone is speculating, and only the parties involved know the exact figures.
However, these estimates are not just random guesses, they still have certain basis, and the final figures are almost accurate.
Ballack's agent Becker also refuted rumors about Ballack's salary in an interview with Italian media.
"I have heard that there are many speculations about Michel's annual salary in the media, and I have read them all. What I want to say is...these figures are all nonsense! We fully respect Lazio's salary cap system. In order to be able to join
Lazio, Michel has made a very big sacrifice. This naturally includes concessions in terms of annual salary. We do this because we fully believe in Lazio's ability and believe that in Lazio, Michel can realize his personal ambitions and be able to
Michel is very happy and excited to play for such a great team as Lazio!"
This is a slap in the face.
Later, media broke the news that Ballack's annual salary at Lazio may be about three million euros a year.
This number does not break Lazio's salary cap, and within Lazio, it is not a shocking salary standard.
There are many players with an annual salary of around three million euros.
This is nothing remarkable.
If Ballack really earns such an annual salary, it will not affect Lazio's salary budget balance at all, and it is impossible for his teammates in the locker room to be dissatisfied.
With Ballack's fame, he only gets an annual salary of three million euros, which is really unfair to him...
How can there still be complaints and dissatisfaction?
※ ※ ※
That's how Lazio signed Ballack.
Even Chang Sheng didn't expect the whole process to go so smoothly.
It's not just this person who is successful.
At the same time that Ballack signed for Lazio, another person also came to the door.
If this person had arrived one day later, Chang Sheng would have taken the initiative to find him.
This person is Miroslav Joseph Klose.
At this time, Giroud is basically 100% certain to leave the team. Chang Sheng needs to find another center substitute for the team, or a player who can be rotated.
The one he was targeting was Klose.
As a traveler, he naturally knows Klose's performance at Lazio.
It may be a waste to let him play as a substitute, so he is a rotation player.
Anyway, he is older, so it will be difficult for him to play for the whole season.
He was the main force of Lazio in that time and space, but the Lazio in this time and space is completely different. The Lazio in this time and space have higher physical requirements. The training intensity is higher and there are more running in the game.
Klose is 100% unable to hold on.
In this way, if you want to rotate, it will be just right.
He didn't want to fight before he went to find Klose. Klose went to find him by himself.
And it just meets the requirements for constant victory. He came to ask to join Lazio!
First it was Ballack, then Klose.
The two former pillars of German football both took the initiative to apply to join Lazio.
Even the winner never imagined when his team would become such a favorite...
※ ※ ※
Due to injuries in Bayern's two years, Klose's main position was not guaranteed. In addition, coach Louis van Gaal's tactics were completely inconsistent with his characteristics, so he did not perform very well in the team and could only play as a substitute.
.
This kind of season is very difficult for him.
Although he still participated in the World Cup in Germany, he had already made up his mind to leave Bayern Munich before the World Cup, because he believed that he was not old yet and could continue to create brilliance. If he just continued to waste time at Bayern Munich
, it would be a shame to waste time on the bench.
Of course. His outstanding performance in the World Cup also gave him more confidence in his solo career.
He believes that with his own abilities, he will only perform better after leaving Bayern Munich.
As for which team to join...he thought of Lazio.
Because first of all Rome is his favorite city.
Secondly, he likes Lazio's tactical style very much.
Third, Lazio's performance is good, and his presence in this team can guarantee that you can participate in the Champions League every year.
Fourth, he admires the head coach Chang Sheng.
For these reasons, he chose Lazio.
But first, he has to terminate his contract with Bayern Munich.
Then come back and talk to Lazio.
He is not worried that Lazio will not want him. With his outstanding performance in the World Cup, many teams in European football will compete to invite him.
The termination of the contract with Bayern Munich went smoothly.
The two sides have been cooperating for several seasons. Klose's character has always been strong. He has never offended anyone in the "Hollywood of Football" Bayern Munich and is very popular.
For such a model player, Bayern Munich will naturally not make things difficult for him.
Anyway, there is definitely no place for Klose in Bayern Munich. Van Gaal has told them more than once that Klose will not have a starting position.
And although Klose performed well in the World Cup, he was also injured. Otherwise, why didn't he play in the final third-place match?
Otherwise, he could have caught up with Ronaldo's fifteen-goal World Cup scoring record. At that time, he was only one goal away from this record.
He is old, suffers frequent injuries, has inconsistent tactics, and has no position... In this case, why not let him leave freely and seek development on his own?
Everyone has a good time together.
Sell a favor to Klose, and Klose will remember the goodness of Bayern Munich in the future. It is always better to have many friends and multiple paths than to offend one person.
Anyway, the termination negotiations between the two parties went smoothly.
It only took two days for Klose and his agent to negotiate with Bayern Munich about terminating his contract.
After Klose signed the contract, Bayern Munich general manager Rummenigge held Klose's hand: "Milo, you are a role model for all of us. From my personal feelings, I don't want you to
Leave. But sometimes... football is so cruel."
He looked a little sad.
Klose smiled and said: "I know, don't worry about me, Mr. Manager. I am also very grateful for the three seasons at Bayern Munich. I am sorry that I was not able to help the team win a Champions League championship..."
Rummenigge patted him on the shoulder: "I wish you good luck. No matter where you go, I will bless you."
Klose smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Manager. I also wish Bayern Munich good luck. No matter where I am, Bayern Munich will always be in my heart."
Then the two hugged each other goodbye.
Klose left Bayern Munich where he had played for three seasons.
When he left the club, the sun was shining brightly, Klose said to his agent and friend Hutte.
"It's the beginning of a new life, man. I can't wait!"
Xu Te smiled and looked at Klose, who was as excited as a child.
"Don't be too happy. Maybe Lazio won't be interested in you, an old man?"
"Then they will regret missing me! I heard that Chang's vision is very accurate. I don't think he will make a mistake!"
