Motta is the first player announced by Lazio this summer.
Lazio didn't make any announcement afterwards, but their actions never stopped.
Next, constant victory requires a central and frontcourt player.
At the same time, this tiger balm shouldn’t be too expensive.
Chang Sheng immediately thought of Antonio Candreva who is now at Udinese.
Candreva is a Roman, and he later actually joined Lazio.
But now he is at Udinese.
Last year, Udine's scouts spotted his talent and recruited him into the team.
And made one Serie A appearance.
However, in the time and space before Chang Sheng crossed over, he was loaned to Livorno in the 2008-2009 season for two consecutive seasons. He performed well in Livorno and was eventually spotted by Juventus. Later, he also
Became an international player for the Italian national team.
All Chang Sheng has to do now is to change Candreva's career course in advance.
First offered a loan to Udinese.
Udinese may not agree to a direct buyout. After all, they have only bought Candreva for a year, and they are optimistic about Candreva's future potential.
So Chang Sheng plans to rent first and then buy out.
That is to rent for a season and then add the right of first refusal to the loan contract.
The specific price is subject to negotiation.
But Candreva definitely wants to win often.
As a player who can play as an attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder, and full-back, he will never lack opportunities to play under Chang Sheng...
※※※
After signing the versatile Candreva, Chang Sheng plans to add strength to his forward line.
Because he basically knew who would leave and who wouldn't leave before, he now knows exactly where his team's positions are confirmed.
There is a shortage of players at the winger position.
If Falcao wants to leave, Benzema will definitely leave too.
This is inevitable. He was the silver boot in Serie A last season and the silver boot in the Champions League last season. Such an outstanding shooter has long attracted the attention of countless wealthy clubs.
And Benzema is not the kind of person who is willing to stay in Lazio and earn two million euros to live off.
He is very ambitious. He dreams of joining a truly wealthy family.
Obviously, Lazio is not a real giant.
If Benzema also leaves, then Lazio's main striker combination in the history of the season will only be better than David Silva. Cazorla can take advantage of the situation to step up, but there is no substitute.
So Chang Sheng had to find a substitute.
This time, Chang Sheng took a long-term view.
He plans to make long-term investments.
His target is the teenage talent of Borussia Dortmund in Germany...Mario Gotze.
Although Gotze did not play as a forward in Dortmund later, he belonged to the "3" position in Dortmund's 4231 formation.
This position among Lazio's 433 is winger.
Winning doesn't require many goals from Gotze, it just requires him to be able to surprise his opponents with his dribbling.
In other words, Gotze is Lazio's Messi - the Messi before he had unlimited firing rights.
At this time, Gotze had just turned sixteen and was playing in the Dortmund youth team.
Because he was too young, Dortmund did not sign a professional contract with him.
So in theory, Gotze does not belong to the Dortmund club. As long as a team can convince Gotze, they can get him, and then only give the Dortmund club a training fee ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of euros at most.
It depends on how much Dortmund cares about Gotze.
Dortmund actually cares about Gotze.
Asked if they could sign a professional contract with Gotze.
So there's no point in caring.
Moreover, Dortmund's financial situation was not very good in those years, and its competitive performance also declined. Last season, Dortmund only finished a disappointing 13th place under the leadership of Thomas Thor...
Chang Sheng believes that if he pays a sum of money, he should be able to get Gotze from Dortmund in an honest way.
However, Chang Sheng still plans to contact Ge Ze in private.
In fact, Dortmund cannot give Gotze a professional contract, and neither can Lazio.
Because both Germany and Italy stipulate that players cannot sign professional contracts before they are eighteen years old.
But Chang Sheng feels that he has an advantage here.
That is the personal charm of the coach.
That's what he was betting on.
Because he remembered reading information about Gotze in later generations that it was mentioned that Gotze’s favorite head coach was Guardiola and his favorite team was Barcelona. He liked the kind of football Guardiola played in Barcelona.
He later went to Bayern Munich, which may have something to do with it.
Chang Sheng didn't know if Gotze's preferences had changed after his rebirth, but this was his only way.
Guardiola, whom Gotze likes, is now under his command and in the Lazio team.
And Lazio is playing the most enjoyable football in Europe right now.
It is football like Barcelona that Gotze likes.
Chang Sheng plans to take Guardiola with him to Germany.
With Chang Sheng's understanding of Gotze, this summer will be his last chance to poach Gotze.
Because starting from the 2008-2009 season, Gotze broke out and won championships in many competitions. In 2008, he won the Western Championship of the German Junior B League. In 2009, he won the Western Championship of the German Junior League. In the same year
, he also won the European U17 Youth Football Championship with the German youth team. Also in this year, he won the Fritz Walter Award for the 17-year-old age group gold medal.
He began to rise at the speed of a rocket class and entered everyone's field of vision.
Then at the end of 2009, on November 21, he made his debut in the Bundesliga for Dortmund. At that time, he was only seventeen years and five months old.
Everyone knows the story that followed.
So in the summer of 2008, when not many people knew about this young man, he had a much better chance of winning.

Chang Sheng called Guardiola, who was still on vacation, and asked him to go to Germany with him.
But after the call was connected, Guardiola quietly listened to Chang Sheng's request and said: "I will return to Rome now."
Chang Sheng said quickly: "You don't have to be so anxious. Spend your vacation and spend time with your family. We are going to have a big fight next!"
But one day later, Chang Sheng received a call from Guardiola: "I'm in Rome, let's leave now."
Chang Sheng was surprised, but since Guardiola is so positive, it's not a bad thing.
In fact, you really need to hurry up if you want to grab Gotze.
So Chang Sheng asked the club to book two tickets from Rome to Dortmund, and just like that, the two of them flew to Germany.
"Our plan is to first find Gotze, go directly to Gotze's home, meet his parents, and then convince his parents..." Chang Sheng explained to Guardiola on the plane from Rome to Dortmund.
.
"Wait, why not go directly to Borussia Dortmund?" Guardiola asked.
"Because that's meaningless." Chang Sheng shrugged and said, "Dortmund will not agree with us easily. Gotze is a genius and they are not fools. So we need to convince Gotze first. As long as Gotze agrees to go with us, Dortmund will just
You can stare."
"Is this...somewhat...uh..." Guardiola did not continue.
Chang Sheng helped him: "Immoral?"
Guardiola didn't nod, but he didn't object either.
He thought about how the outstanding talents in La Masia's youth training camp were poached by managers and coaches of other teams.
Chang Sheng smiled: "Don't think so much, Pep. We hired Gotze because we can give him a better environment and let him grow. This is a good thing for him. For Dortmund...
Why should we care about Dortmund's feelings?"
Guardiola fell silent.
※※※
Chang Sheng already knew where Gotze's home was. After getting off the plane, the two rested for an afternoon in a hotel room they had booked in advance. Chang Sheng called Gotze's home phone through the phone in the hotel.
Then he announced his identity. In order to make Gotze himself more interested and want to meet him, he also emphasized that Guardiola was also with him.
Guardiola rolled his eyes at him.
Chang Sheng laughed at him because Gotze's father promised to let them come to Gotze's home.
"I never understand, Chang. Why do you want me to come to Germany with you?" Guardiola asked Chang Sheng in the taxi from the hotel to Goetze's home. "I feel like I am of no use..."
"Who says it's useless? It's up to you to convince Gotze then!" Chang Sheng said with wide eyes.
"Persuading Gotze? Me?" Guardiola shrugged. "I think in terms of eloquence, I'm not as good as you."
"Haha." Chang Sheng laughed dryly.
No further explanation was given.
There's no way he could tell Guardiola that because I came from time travel, he knew Gotze liked you better, right?
※※※
Chang Sheng and Guardiola soon sat down on the sofa in the living room of Gotze's home, opposite Gotze's parents.
And the sixteen-year-old Gotze sat on the single sofa between them.
His elder brother Fabian and younger brother Felix, one on each side, sat on the armrest of the sofa, the three brothers together.
Chang Sheng smiled at them, this scene... was really grand.
"Well, it's like this. We have expressed our intention on the phone, so we want to hear your opinion, Mr. Gotze." Chang Sheng said to Jürgen Gotze, the father of Mario Gotze.
.
Before Jürgen Gotze spoke, his wife, Mario Gotze's mother, said first: "Italy... is too far away."
"There is a plane, it will be very fast." The next person was Mario Gotze's brother Fabian Gotze. "I think my brother should go to Lazio. Everyone knows that Lazio is the Champions League champion. This is better than staying in Dortmund and waiting.
I don’t know when the opportunity will come.” Fabian is already eighteen years old, considered an adult. He also plays in Dortmund’s youth team, but his talent is obviously not as high as that of his younger brother. His
My younger brother Xiaohe has shown his talents, but he is unknown.
"Then will Mario no longer be in the same team as us?" Ten-year-old brother Felix Gotze is currently playing in Dortmund's youth team.
"Fabian, what do you know?" The mother showed her majesty. However, the eighteen-year-old Fabian was obviously past the age of being afraid of her mother. He curled his lips and said: "Mario has Talent, he will definitely succeed in the future. I think he should go to a team that is good for his future. There is no doubt that this is Lazio. Because Lazio has Chang. He is the coach that Mario has always admired... "
Chang Sheng was dumbfounded.
What?
Mario Gotze admires me?
Shouldn't he like Guardiola?
What is going on? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
