Chapter 20 The mulberry elm that was lost in the east
Andrea Stramaccioni, who was working in Rome, never expected that a call from Lazio would come to him.
As a member of the Roma Club, he believes that Lazio and them should be two completely different worlds.
Especially in the past few years, Lazio has performed strongly and achieved outstanding results. The Romans have to practice their ignorance to the top.
Even if Lazio wins the championship right under your nose, you have to treat them as if they are nothing, otherwise you will really be stimulated by them and vomit three liters of blood.
Although Stramaccioni will not do this, he will pretend that Lazio does not exist and concentrate on doing his own thing.
In the past two years, his team may have been the only pride of the Roma club.
While Lazio is flourishing in the adult team, Roma's youth training has performed well. Just last year, he led the under-17 youth team to win the National Under-17 Professional League Championship.
Because of this, he was promoted to the under-18 youth team as head coach.
Unexpectedly, Lazio would find him...
And he is also the head coach of the Lazio senior team, a Chinese who has a relationship with Roma.

Chang Sheng contacted Andre Stramaccioni, the head coach of Roma's under-18 youth team, by phone.
When Stramaccioni heard that Chang Sheng had invited him to Lazio, he couldn't help it and laughed on the phone.
"What exactly do you think, Mr. Chang?"
Chang Sheng asked back: "Is there any problem?"
"You are the coach of Lazio and I am the coach of Roma. Do you think there may be an intersection between us?" Stramaccioni said.
Hearing this, it was Chang Sheng's turn to laugh on the phone.
Until Stramaccioni laughed so hard he couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything funny?"
Chang Sheng stopped laughing and asked Stramaccioni: "We are all adults, and it is normal to change jobs. It is not about hatred, but your own career prospects. If you have any interest in me,
Benefits. I will change jobs. If there are no benefits, I will not change jobs, or if the benefits are too small, I will not change jobs. It is that simple, how can it be so complicated. What about Lazio and Roma? Lazio and Roma are mortal enemies, Lazio and Roma
There are also personnel exchanges between them. There are also many sworn enemies between other European teams, but this does not prevent them from having personnel exchanges. You still can’t understand such a simple thing? What I’m laughing at is your naivety, Andre.
.”
Stramaccioni is now thirty-two years old, so naturally he cannot be considered an innocent and naive age.
We are all adults, and he can understand it as soon as he thinks about Chang Sheng.
He loves Rome, but if Rome doesn't give him what he wants, maybe he will leave.
"You are right, Mr. Chang. But I am very happy in Rome now. I can't figure out why I want to leave Rome and go to Lazio." Stramaccioni said on the other end of the phone.
"You were just the head coach of the under-18 youth team in Rome. And when you come to Lazio, I will let you be the director of the entire youth training camp. The Lazio youth training camp is being rebuilt, and you are responsible for all the work of the youth training of the Lazio club, starting from the coach.
From the players down to the players, you are responsible for managing them all. You can set up the youth academy according to your ideas. You can train them how you want to train them. You need support. The club will satisfy you... Isn't this enough?"
When Stramaccioni heard Chang Sheng's words, he must admit that he was moved.
Youth training director...
Isn't this the goal of working hard in Rome?
He aspires to be the best youth coach in Italy. He enjoys developing young people and then watching them shine in the professional arena.
To achieve this goal, he started as a coach of the amateur youth team and gradually became a youth training coach of the Roma Club. Then he coached the Roma under-13, under-15 and under-17 youth teams. Now he is
The head coach of the youth team under the age of 18. As long as he climbs up one step further. When he reaches the head coach of the youth team under the age of 19, he can become the director of Roma youth training.
It's just one step away.
But in fact, Stramaccioni was very aware of the difficulty involved.
Because Alberto De Rossi's performance in leading the team has always been very good, he has a very high status in the club. Not only because he is senior, but also because he has a promising son.
Daniel De Rossi is the son of Alberto De Rossi and is also the main midfielder and core of the Roma team.
Under such circumstances, there is only one possibility for me to replace Alberto De Rossi as the youth training director.
That is, only when the old De Rossi is promoted to the first team coach can he take advantage of the situation.
Otherwise...
However, Stramaccioni was still quite sober. He only had a few thoughts and quickly returned to normal.
"What you said makes sense, Mr. Chang. But I don't want to leave Rome now. I am very happy in Rome and have hope."
Chang Sheng cursed secretly in his heart, he is so stubborn!
Chang Sheng didn't continue to persuade him. It was true that he came to Stramaccioni, but he couldn't act too impatient.
That would make you look worthless.
So he told Stramaccioni that Lazio would open the door for him at any time, and if he wanted to come, he could call him.
Stramaccioni did not say bad words, but politely expressed his gratitude to Lazio for taking a liking to him.
In short, the atmosphere of the first exchange between the two parties was very harmonious. We were all adults, and we did not talk to each other to death, leaving each other with a way out.

After hanging up the phone, Chang Sheng frowned and bit his nails.
If Stramaccioni doesn't come, he really can't find a more suitable youth training coach.
Chang Sheng is not worried about the lack of people in his coaching staff because he already has a candidate and has asked Lotito to contact him.
This man is Roberto DiMatteo.
In fact, we should have gone to find Di Matteo in July, but at that time, all the managers of Changsheng were buying and selling people, and were at war with Lazio's extreme fans.
And he only knew that Di Matteo started his coaching career at Milton Keynes in 2007, but he could not remember the specific time.
So it was only in August that he thought of asking Lotito to help him find this person.
Because at this time the team has ended the physical training phase and has transitioned into tactical training. At this time, it is short of manpower.
As a result, Lotito inquired and discovered that Di Matteo was in contact with Milton Keynes!
Chang Sheng was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
His memory suddenly improved this time. He remembered that Di Matteo signed with Milton Keynes in July.
It's August now, and Milton Keynes is only in contact with Di Matteo. It seems that the world has undergone many changes because of himself, even if these changes are not caused by himself, and they are not even indirect...
Fortunately, you and them are still in contact.
This shows that I still have a chance!
So Chang Sheng asked Lotito to hurry up and contact Di Matteo and put forward the request to invite Di Matteo to join his coaching team.
Roberto Di Matteo was also a Lazio player. This relationship may help him snatch Di Matteo from Milton Keynes.
After all, Di Matteo went to Milton Keynes to be the head coach, but when he came to Lazio he could only be a general coach. The gap is a bit big...
Chang Sheng was unsure whether he could handle it.
If you find him before Milton Keynes and Di Matteo contact you, your success rate will be much greater.
Now that people have better choices, they may not accept Lazio's invitation.
A week has passed now.
There is still no news from Di Matteo. Chang Sheng has gradually given up hope... He plans to find a random coach to work first.
Let’s think about the youth training camp director first...
As a result, at this moment, the cell phone in his hand rang.
Lotito called!
Always successful.
"Chang, we've got it done." Lotito's confused words came from the other end.
"What's done?" Chang Sheng was confused.
"Robert DiMatteo! Didn't you ask me to contact him?"
Chang Sheng's brain returned to normal.
He was delighted: "Has he agreed to come to Lazio?"
"Yes!"
Chang Sheng pursed his lips tightly and waved his fist vigorously.
The shortcomings left after Guardiola left have been made up for!
Di Matteo's ability to win has been experienced by later generations.
He may be the most successful rescue coach in European football.
He led Chelsea to win the FA Cup and the Champions League by rescuing the coach!
Especially the Champions League championship, a goal that countless famous coaches have not been able to achieve. Whether it is Ranieri, Mourinho, Grant, Hiddink, Scolari... they have not been able to achieve it, but he has.
Did it!
Chang Sheng unconsciously likes to collect famous coaches.
Just like he must let Stramaccioni be his youth training director.
He knew that these people would shine brightly in the future, so he took them under his control now before they rose up, and used them for his own purposes. This could not only enhance his own power, but also weaken his opponent's strength in disguise.
Although there is Guardiola, Chang Sheng is not worried.
Guardiola is too attached to Barcelona, but Stramaccioni and Di Matteo have no such idea.
Lotito told Chang Sheng that Di Matteo would come to the club tomorrow to sign a contract, and then he could join his coaching team and start working.
After hanging up the phone, Chang Sheng felt it was really amazing.
On the same day, he failed to convince Stramaccioni. But he gained an equally excellent coaching assistant.
Di Matteo comes to the team and can share the work between himself and Rudy Gonzalez.
In addition, he is an Italian player himself and has played for Lazio, so he can easily be recognized and accepted by everyone. Although he came late, Chang Sheng is not worried that he will not adapt.
This is what I lost and gained... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
