Melo's outstanding performance in the Copa America was unexpected. After all, Chang Sheng's understanding of the previous Melo was that he did not participate in the 2007 Copa America. After he moved to Fiorentina in 2008,
It was already 2009 when he was selected for the Brazilian national team due to his outstanding performance.
But the so-called gold will always shine.
So Melo performed very well in his first international competition.
Especially in Dunga's tactics, he felt like a fish in water.
Dunga played defensive counterattacks, while Chang Sheng played offensive football. They are 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 plays a large role and is at the core of the tactics.
Defense needs defense, this is nonsense, offense needs defense even more.
So no matter which set of tactics he is in, Melo can thrive.
His outstanding performance in the Brazilian national team immediately attracted the attention of more wealthy clubs.
And this time it's no longer limited to rumors.
These wealthy families take practical actions!
Juventus is feeling the pressure.
If they don't take action, maybe Merlot will be snatched away. As for what Chang Sheng said about Merlot not for sale... He is just farting! Everyone knows that Chang Sheng has no items that are not for sale. The so-called items that are not for sale are just...
I think the price is inappropriate, just too low...
※※※
Juventus finally couldn't sit still.
They offered Changsheng 20 million euros for Melo.
When Chang Sheng saw the price, he sneered.
Recently, the media has said that if you don't have 30 million, you can't take Merlot away. You have the nerve to show up with 20 million?
Twenty million was his net worth before the America's Cup. After the America's Cup, Melo's price started at thirty million!
Chang Sheng once again rejected Juventus with a "not for sale" reply.
He doesn't believe that Juventus will have no money. Juventus is very rich. So when robbing people, don't be soft-hearted at all.
He was not in a hurry at all.
Anyway, the America's Cup finals haven'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, but Juventus can't afford to wait.
Offered another 22 million euros to buy Merlot.
Chang Sheng knew that Juventus really wanted Melo, and by this time, he felt that it was almost done. If he continued to act like he was "not for sale," he would not be doing business sincerely.
So this time he offered a price of 40 million euros!
This is an offer that can scare away most clubs, but Juventus will not.
Because they are now eager to replenish their strength. Continuous observation of Melo for more than a month has confirmed their idea that Melo is an outstanding player. Of course Melo is an outstanding player, but is it good for Juventus?
Players, that’s not necessarily the case...
Since they insist that Melo is the key player their club needs, 40 million will naturally not scare them away.
Although it may surprise them, they won’t turn away as soon as they hear the offer.
And the most important thing is that this price is only 10 million euros higher than the rumored net worth of 30 million yuan, which is still a reasonable price.
From this quotation, interested people at Juventus should be able to see something else.
That means Merlot is not for sale as Chang Sheng said.
As long as you can buy it, that's fine. As for the price...it's easy to say!
※※※
After seeing this offer, Juventus and Lazio stopped playing the bargaining game.
Blanco called Chang Sheng directly.
"Let's open the skylight and speak frankly, Chang. We are all sensible people."
Chang Sheng pretended to be confused: "I don't understand what you are talking about, Mr. Blanco."
Blanco could only say nothing in return for Chang Sheng's shamelessness.
He decided not to talk in circles with Chang Sheng, but went straight to the point.
"I'll tell you the truth, Chang. We need Merlot. You can make a price. As long as the conditions are right, we can negotiate."
What Chang Sheng secretly wants in his heart is your words!
But he coughed: "Mello is..."
Blanco was speechless: "Okay, Chang. We all know what you mean. Don't tell me. It's okay to lie to Lazio fans. I am serious about talking to you about this."
Merlot future.”
Chang Sheng coughed: "Okay, then I won't beat around the bush. My conditions are very simple, 40 million euros."
Blanco felt like veins were popping out of his forehead.
However, he still knows that negotiation is actually asking for a high price and paying back the money. As long as he is sincere, he can negotiate any price offered by the other party.
He firmly believes that Lazio cannot keep Melo.
That's why he came to call Chang Sheng.
So Blanco did not take Chang Sheng's words to heart. Instead, he continued: "Forty million is impossible. We need to reach an agreement. We can offer 25 million."
Chang Sheng refused without hesitation: "This is impossible. There is no way that a member of the America's Cup championship team is only worth such a small amount of money."
"But the America's Cup final hasn't been played yet..."
"I have confidence in my players. The Brazilian team will definitely defeat Argentina and win the championship!"
Blanco was not here to discuss with Chang Sheng who would win the Copa America between Brazil and Argentina. He brought the topic back on track.
"Okay. Just give me a price...don't say anything like 40 million."
Chang Sheng grinned silently: "Thirty million, plus Chiellini."
There was no sound from Blanco's end.
Winning often is not bad, he knows that Blanco needs time to think about whether this condition is suitable.
He previously said 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 known only to him in the entire club.
The real target is Chiellini.
Chiellini, the future main defender of the Italian national team and Juventus.
Of course, he is still very immature in the central defender position, or...it cannot be described as immature.
In Serie B, almost all of Juventus' central defenders died last season.
Baumsson has been injured, and Lerottaglie has also been injured.
Juventus really has no one available at the back.
So Chiellini, who was originally retained because of his status as the main left back, was pushed to the center back position by the then head coach Deschamps.
Because his height was the most suitable at that time.
As a result, this young man who had never played as a central defender was forced to play in this unfamiliar position.
The results can be imagined.
Chiellini was booed by Juventus fans in almost every game in this position because his performance was so bad, with all kinds of mistakes and missed balls.
If it weren't for the fact that the opponents were all second-tier teams and they were 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 Grigra from Ajax and the Portuguese international center back Andrade from Deportivo, hoping to use them to play center back.
Grigra and Andrade are the main central defenders of their respective national teams and have outstanding strength.
It can be seen from this that Juventus is not confident about Chiellini, a player who helped the team upgrade in the second division.
Unexpectedly, just after playing four games for Juventus, the Portuguese got injured and missed the entire season.
As a last resort, Chiellini was pulled out to play as central defender.
But the performance was still poor. During the winter break, news came out that Juventus wanted to sell Chiellini.
To this end, Juventus also loaned center back Stendardo from Lazio.
There are so many introductions at the central defender position. This shows Juventus's attitude towards Chiellini.
Therefore, Chang Sheng is very aware of Juventus's attitude, so he knows that Juventus will not block Chiellini's departure.
In fact, Juventus in Serie B already feel that Chiellini is not as talented as they imagined.
Terrible performance at centre-back.
Blanco showed no resistance to Chiellini being named as the winner, but as an experienced negotiator, he habitually kept the price low.
So he frowned and sighed: "No, Chiellini is our main central defender..."
Chang Sheng retorted: "The main center back who was booed by his team in every game last season?"
Blanco stopped talking. He really has no vision or ability to judge whether a player is good or not.
But he also has more basic things. He watched every game of Juventus last season, and Chiellini's performance at the center back position was indeed terrible.
The media criticizes every day and the fans boo every game.
Head coach Deschamps also said to Blanco in private that if there was no one available at the center back position, he would definitely not let Chiellini play...
"Twenty-five million plus one Chiellini." Blanco countered.
"Chiellini is not worth so much money, Mr. Blanco." Chang Sheng smiled.
※※※
In the end, the 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 the player he dreamed of and also got a lot of money.
There is no better deal than this.
As for Chiellini, Chang Sheng is not worried at all.
In the time and space he is familiar with, Chiellini is completely a world-class central defender who is exposed by various forwards.
If you make too many mistakes, you will naturally mature.
But at Lazio he doesn't have to go through this process.
Because Chang Sheng has training skills.
Starting from next season, Chiellini will have to use the skill "This is how geniuses are made" to win the championship.
In addition, he must be given various special training to improve his defensive ability.
Although Chiellini is still lacking in ability now, at least his mental quality is good.
After being booed by Juventus fans like that, many people may not even dare to step onto the court. For example, Real Madrid's young left back Drenthe.
But Chiellini not only insisted on playing again and again, but also insisted on being abused and became a first-class central defender!
With this kind of psychological quality, Chang Sheng feels that Chiellini has a bright future, no matter in this time and space or in that time and space.

ps, there are only three updates today.
After eight consecutive days with five updates and forty chapters, I am once again in a hurry to save the manuscript, so I have to put this crazy outburst on hold for a while and let me praise the manuscript again.
When the archives are full, it will explode again.
