If some people think that it's over after Chang Sheng slaps him in the face, and they just need to wait silently for the limelight to pass before they can continue to act arrogantly, then they are totally wrong.
Chang Sheng is the kind of person who, after slapping you in the face, will call you over to ask if you enjoyed the spanking...
He plans to hold a press conference.
In fact, this is also tradition.
Every year Lazio holds a press conference to announce the signing of new players.
But this year there will be something special...
※※※
While the Lazio club continues to announce contract extensions, Lazio has not stopped selling players and signing new players.
Negotiations on the introduction of Candreva have also come to fruition.
Lazio will rent Candreva for one year first. After the lease expires, they have the right of first refusal at a price of 1.5 million euros.
After entering August, the Manchester City Club underwent tremendous changes. The original owner, Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, finally gave up the Manchester City Club due to political issues. Immediately afterwards, a consortium from Abu Dhabi, the largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates, came forward to take over the Manchester City Club.
Having lost a financial sponsor, we have welcomed a bigger financial sponsor. Manchester City Club is destined to soar into the sky!
Manchester City, which has received a huge capital injection, has a lot of money. They are already a month behind other teams in preparation time, but it doesn't matter, they have money. Do you mean that money cannot buy time?
In the transfer market, act quickly and save time.
But how fast can you move?
Don't bargain, just use money to knock the opponent down, and the players will naturally come over.
The Abu Dhabi consortium, which has just entered the football world, does not know much about the rules of football. They entered the game completely as a rule breaker.
But Chang Sheng just likes this kind of Kaizi!
As soon as Manchester City changed ownership, he recommended Inler and Kolarov to the Manchester City club.
Manchester City Club is also very satisfied with the two people recommended by Chang Sheng.
Inler is the main defensive midfielder of the Champions League champion team, and although Kolarov is not the main player, he has many opportunities to play and performs well.
He had one goal and three assists in the Champions League last season. As a non-main full-back, this achievement is remarkable.
So Manchester City spent 22 million to buy Inler and 8.5 million to acquire Kolarov.
It is a pity for Kolarov, because historically, it cost 12 million euros for Kolarov to go from Lazio to Manchester City. But at that time, he was Lazio's main left back. But now because of the presence of Balzaretti
, Kolarov has no chance to be the main player, and naturally cannot sell for 10 million euros.
This is the only regret.
But overall, Lazio was very successful in this summer's transfer market.
In the transfer market, Lazio made a huge profit of 170 million euros this summer!
This transfer fee revenue is the highest in Europe!
You won't find another club in Europe that can attract as much money as Lazio.
At first, when Lazio said they wanted to sell people to pay off their debts, no one paid much attention.
Even the staff of the Lazio club don't believe that Lazio's debt can be paid off by winning in just one summer.
But when the specific figures were calculated, everyone was shocked!
170000000!
Just this long string of zeros dazzled everyone.
Did we really make so much money selling players?
The answer is yes.
For so many transfer transactions, Lazio does not accept installment payments or players as cash deposits. It only accepts cash and pays it all in one lump sum.
At Lazio's insistence, they really have so much cash in their account now!
Lotito can pay off the debt in one lump sum now, and there will still be 70 million left. Coupled with the 20 million in liquidity that the club has maintained before, Lazio Club is now very rich in cash, as much as 90 million.
Ten million, nearly one hundred million!
This amount does not exclude the cost of buying players, but it is still very accurate.
Because when it comes to buying players, Chang Sheng continues his usual stinginess.
This season, so far, Lazio has introduced nine players. The intensity of signings is unprecedented, second only to the signings in the 2006-2007 season.
How much did these nine players cost Lazio?
One million and four hundred thousand!
This is not the average price, this is the total price!
Nine players, 1.4 million!
The average price per player is less than 160,000 euros!
This stinginess is second only to Lotito.
In Lotito's first season at Lazio, that is, the 2004-2005 season, he helped the team introduce 13 players. As a result, Lotito spent an average of less than 100,000 euros per player!
However, the advantage of winning more than Lotito is that only two of Lotito's thirteen players are real buyouts, the other two players are returning on loan, two players are shared players, and
Seven players are on loan.
Among the nine players Chang Sheng introduced this time, three players returned on loan, one player came on loan, and as many as five players were bought out.
Bonucci was the addition to Campagnaro's transfer, and it didn't cost a penny. Mirante was the addition to Stendaldo, and it didn't cost a penny. Motta was a free transfer, and only Gotze and
Giroud spent money on Gotze's compensation of 800,000 yuan because Dortmund cared about Gotze. Giroud only paid 600,000 yuan.
Cavani returns on loan, Azpilicueta returns on loan, and Coentrao returns on loan.
Plus Candreva on loan.
That's all Lazio's signings this summer.
The expenditure of 1.4 million is really nothing compared to the income of 90 million.
As a result, Lazio had the money to sign new contracts for the players and increased the maximum salary limit from two million to three million.
But when all the transfer fees were calculated, Lotito was still shocked!
One hundred and seventy million!
He originally thought that the 140 million would really have to be paid back in twenty-three years, but he didn't expect... that he would earn 170 million in one summer!
This is crazy!
He never imagined that a football club could make so much money...
※※※
After selling Kolarov to Manchester City, Changsheng was finally able to completely close the transfer market.
He no longer needs any new reinforcements.
The Lazio club will also hold a press conference to showcase their signing results.
In addition, there is one more thing to announce.
But unlike in the past, this time Lazio's press conference was not held in the original press conference hall, but... on the turf of the Stadio Olimpico!
When the reporters stared at the scorching sun and stood waiting on the side of the training ground, they were still complaining and did not understand that Lazio had to put the press conference in such a place. Couldn't it be in an air-conditioned press hall?
But they soon found out why Lazio didn't hold the press conference indoors.
Joining them in waiting under the scorching sun were tens of thousands of Lazio fans.
They didn't complain about the heat like squeamish reporters.
They kept singing in the stands.
Although the "Uncultivated Faction" was missing, the atmosphere was not as fanatical as before. But it was still lively.
In fact, they are not here to welcome new players, they are here to express their support for the club and team.
Compared with the unknown new players, they are more concerned about the fact that Lazio finally retained so many players through contract extensions.
These are the cornerstones of Lazio's revival!
※※※
There were no chairs or a stage, just on the turf of Rome's Olympic Stadium. Everyone was standing. The host stood, the reporters stood, Lotito and Chang Sheng also stood. The fans had seats, but they didn't.
People were sitting and they were all standing.
Everything continues Lotito's stingy character.
Lotito then took the microphone and started today's press conference.
"Two things, first. We officially announce that Lazio Club has paid off all its debts!"
As soon as Lotito said these words, he aroused the surprise of the audience... No, there is nothing on and off the stage... It aroused the surprise of a group of reporters opposite.
The fans in the stands were also surprised.
Lazio previously owed a foreign debt of 100 million, how come it was paid off in just one summer?
Could it be that the money they used to pay off the debt was conjured?
Lotito saw the surprised expressions of these reporters and laughed: "Of course, it only took us one summer to pay off the remaining 100 million euros in debt! This is all thanks to the constant presence in the transfer market.
Get to work!”
The reporters all turned their attention to Chang Sheng next to him.
Chang Sheng’s face was expressionless.
Lotito did not disclose how much money they made in the transfer market.
But those reporters who are interested in it will definitely be able to deduce it. Although many transfer transactions between clubs are not disclosed, the media can guess almost every time.
When they found out that Lazio had made 170 million euros in just over a month, they really didn't know what their expressions and feelings would be...
"Starting from today, Lazio is no longer a club heavily in debt, and is no longer a club that may go bankrupt at any time. On the contrary, we are the most financially healthy club in Serie A!" When he said these words, Lotito
Very proud.
How many clubs in Serie A dare to say that they are financially healthy? Apart from Lazio, there is only one Udinese. But Udinese’s maximum salary limit is 500,000 euros, and Udinese can
It would be good to participate in the European competition. Don't even think about winning the league championship, the Champions League championship, and various championships like Lazio.
The reporters were still shocked, while the fans in the stands cheered.
Some people are still hugging each other as if they have won the championship.
Ever since Cragnotti's Cirio went bankrupt, these Lazio fans have been worried day and night, worried that they would wake up and find that their beloved club went bankrupt, all the players ran away, and the club sold everything.
Assets that can be sold off and then die. Everyone can only re-register a new Lazio club and start over...
Just like Florence and Naples…
They don't want Lazio to end up like this.
In order to save Lazio, they tried every means. When Lazio was unable to register in Serie A because of the six million pounds, they went to sit-in demonstrations every day in front of Lazio's largest shareholder, Caputalia Bank, hoping that a miracle would happen.
After Lotito took over Lazio, Lazio still faced the threat of huge debts, and they also took to the streets to put pressure on the government.
Why did they put in so much effort?
Isn't it just to get Lazio out of this damn state one day?
Now... they finally got what they wanted!
The debt of 140 million euros has been paid off!
※※※
The fans cheered thunderously, and their cheers attracted the attention of reporters. Everyone turned back to look at the stands.
The place has become a sea of joy, and the crowd is surging with excitement...
Lotito and Chang Sheng looked at the excited crowd in the stands, and then smiled at each other.
Today is the new life of Lazio Club!

PS, this chapter is dedicated to the national football team in the East Asian Cup.
Hupu has a very cool saying: No matter which team you are in, I am the Chinese team!
In this East Asian Cup, the Chinese team played what I wanted to see, which is what Gao Hongbo insisted on.
I believe that if we stick to this idea, there is still hope for the national football team.
Even just winning some games can make me, a Chinese fan, happy.
