When the players are called together by Chang Sheng, everyone knows he will talk about recent events.
But I can't imagine how he would explain it to the players.
Later, when Chang Sheng told them personally that it was impossible for the club to increase the salary budget, so the maximum salary could not exceed 2 million, many people's hearts dropped.
They suddenly felt that there was no point in continuing to fight for this team.
If my performance at Lazio were replaced by other teams, my annual salary would be at least three to four million euros, and at worst it would be more than two million euros.
But it can only be like this in Lazio, which makes people completely hopeless.
Why is there any need for such a team to stay?
champion?
We have won the league championship once... no, twice.
This is really unattractive.
Maybe if you go to a wealthy club, you still have a chance to win the Champions League.
Performance in the league and performance in the Champions League really cannot be equated. AC Milan played like that in the league last season. Didn't they still win the Champions League?
So, even if Lazio is now dominant in the league, it does not mean that they will be equally dominant in the Champions League.
After leaving Lazio, maybe I can win the Champions League and achieve a breakthrough.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Chang Sheng suddenly threw out the goal of "Champions League Champions"!
A group of people didn't realize what was going on and looked directly at Chang Sheng.

"Maybe you will think that I am making a promise casually. But I suggest that you carefully recall the years you have followed me and see if there was a time when I said what I said but failed to do it. Starting from Getafe, I said
Doing it, this has become my signature." Chang Sheng continued to say despite everyone's surprised looks.
"Is this goal exciting enough? Even if you want to leave, you must win this championship before leaving. Because it will make you more valuable. It will allow you to get a better salary. If you are now worth three million euros in annual salary, then
Maybe after winning the Champions League, you can confidently ask for an annual salary of five million."
"Think about it, members of the Champions League winning team! What an amazing result! You only have to fight for the last half of the season! You have nothing to lose, but you may get huge rewards in the end! There is nothing better than this in the world
The deal is done, it’s a huge profit!”
Chang Sheng is like a devil, tempting his players to follow him and make a big deal.
"Do you need to pay anything? No, you just need to train and compete as usual, just like you did in the first half of the season. Then wait for the honors!"
In fact, winning is still the same old story, glory and dreams.
However, this time the glory was replaced by something bigger, more glittering and attractive.
The Champions League championship is indeed more attractive than the league championship, and it is more worthy of everyone's efforts.
Of course he said this without any guarantee. Who would believe what he said?
But his players just believe it.
Because he has proven time and time again that he is worthy of trust.
When he first arrived at Lazio, everyone knew what Lazio was like, even those who didn't play here at that time, they all knew it later.
The rapid rise of Lazio, which was about to go bankrupt, was written by Chang Sheng.
In two seasons, he led Lazio to a league title and a second place in the league.
In addition, there is also a UEFA Cup championship, achieving Lazio's zero breakthrough in this event.
Such a head coach. He is always good at creating miracles...
The players want to leave the club because the club cannot afford the high salaries they want. This has nothing to do with their belief that winning often can create miracles and does not conflict with them.
They left the club for financial reasons. As long as they can get together and part ways easily, they can maintain a good relationship with the head coach.
Since the boss has said that he wants to compete for the Champions League, I don't mind accompanying him in the madness in the last half of the season.
With a maximum annual salary of no more than two million, competing with teams where one player's annual salary may be worth the annual salary of the entire Lazio team... just thinking about it, you will think this is a crazy idea.
Although crazy, he has the consistent style of the boss!
Doesn’t the boss always like to create those impossible miracles?
Let those who shouted "this is impossible" be shocked.
※※※
Chang Sheng reached an agreement with his players.
If someone wants to leave after this season, they can leave and I will not stop them. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness.
However, he requires these people to stay on the team and play the last half of the season to give their best.
"This is unbelievable..." After the training, the Lazio coach who originally planned to discourage the winning team was still surprised.
He was surprised for two reasons. On the one hand, it was the goal that Chang Sheng called out, and on the other hand, his players actually accepted it!
Rudy Gonzalez asked Chang Sheng: "Do we really want to win the Champions League?"
Chang Sheng nodded: "Of course, I do what I say."
Rudy Gonzalez nodded and didn't talk nonsense. He was already thinking about how far the team needs to be in order to win the championship and how to arrange and adjust training.
Only the coach is still asking: "Hey, gentlemen, do we really want to win the Champions League? That is the Champions League, the Champions League..."
Chang Sheng turned to look at him and nodded to him: "Yes, we want to win the UEFA Champions League championship!"

For all those who have witnessed with their own eyes how the winning team can acquire their own players, if Lazio is financially healthy and can spend tens of millions in transfer budget at any time, then they firmly believe that this Lazio will completely conquer the world.
Because Chang Sheng still has excellent control over this team, although he has encountered some challenges in the past period, this is not his problem.
It's a pity that Lazio can't afford that much money. So such an excellent team may fall apart after this summer...
Some people will feel sad.
But Chang Sheng doesn't, he will always look forward.
Only by doing that can we have the motivation to continue to struggle. People always like to live in memory, because it is easier. They only need to lie on the chair and recall the past. But those who strive to move forward need more.
courage and strength.
Chang Sheng didn't want to lie down on the chair and recall the past. A good man wouldn't mention his bravery in the past.
Even if this team falls apart, so what?
He will continue to move forward, and no one can stop him.

The media continues to hype Lazio's internal crisis, and even Lazio fans are worried, fearing that their team will really fall apart as the media said, and then Lazio will return to the way it was before and never stand out again.
date.
At this time, the official website of Lazio Club announced the successful contract extension of main goalkeeper Handanovic.
At the contract renewal ceremony, Lotito appeared in person, facing the reporters at the press conference with Chang Sheng and Handanovic.
"He is the present and future of the team." Chang Sheng said at the press conference.
This rating is quite high.
Lotito also seemed very happy. The media had previously criticized Lazio's two million fixed salary system, saying that Lotito was the stingiest president in the history of the Lazio club. This made Lotito very unhappy.
Handanovic's successful contract extension is undoubtedly a successful counterattack.
"The salary system of two million euros will not be modified for a period of time. We will stick to it. Lazio will become the most financially healthy club in Italian football. What we have to do is ten, twenty, three
Ten years...or even fifty years. I know we are on the right path!"
Lotito's attitude was very tough and resolute when faced with reporters' questions about the maximum salary.
Handanovic was asked about his views on recent events in the team. He said: "Everyone has the freedom to choose, and my choice is to stay. I like Lazio, I like the coach and the people here.
Fans. I'm happy here and I can't think of anywhere else I need to be."

"Corriere dello Sport" published this photo on the front page the next day. Their evaluation of this incident was "...this was a specially arranged press conference, although Handanovic is the team's number one
Goalkeeper. But it’s just a contract extension, and it’s more grand than a formal signing. Obviously, it’s because Lazio hopes to appease people’s hearts through such an action and tell everyone that they can hold on!”
Journalists still prefer to hold conspiracy theories.
Of course, the Lazio club may really have this idea, which is to rely on Handanovic's contract extension to stabilize people's hearts.
A good goalkeeper carries the top half of the team.
Handanovic's role at Lazio is also very important.
The team's lack of conceding goals is not only due to tactics and defenders. Handanovic also made key saves many times in the game to keep the goal.
Signing him will at least show that the team's defense is solid.
If the defense is solid, then everything is easy to say.
Modern football is based on defense, even for teams that hold high the banner of offensive football.
Without defense, offense is nothing.
Sure enough, a reporter went to the streets to randomly interview Lazio fans.
When asked what they thought of Handanovic's contract extension, most people expressed their confidence in the team's future.
They firmly believe that more players will renew their contracts with the club in the future.
"This is just the beginning." An excited Lazio fan kept repeating this sentence to the camera. "This is just the beginning! This is just the beginning!"
Seeing his performance, the host at the back of the TV station couldn't help but complain: "Maybe this is the beginning of things falling apart!"
Then he laughed too.
The media are not happy about Handanovic's contract extension.
Because they want to see Lazio unlucky and fall apart.
In this way, that arrogant bastard no longer has the capital to be arrogant.
