Chapter 430 The Changed Future (Ninety-One/One Hundred Thirty-Four)
When Changsheng led Lazio back to Rome with the Champions League trophy, half of Rome was boiling. The streets were empty. All Lazio fans came out collectively, and the road from the airport to the square was packed. m
It felt as if all the Lazio fans in Rome were here.
Such scenes are not unfamiliar to Lazio players.
They have experienced such spectacular scenes in recent years.
Every time they return to Rome, so many people welcome them.
Because they can always win the championship.
When celebrating the championship in the square, Changsheng held the microphone and gave a speech to Lazio fans. At the end, he said: "... This is definitely not the end. On the road to exploring the future, Lazio will not stop. It will keep moving forward until it can no longer move. So guys, don't worry that we will be satisfied with this! There will be many more championships!"
His words were responded to by thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.
They all know that Changsheng always keeps his word. Since he said it this time, he will definitely do it. Lazio will definitely win more championships in the future.
This future makes Lazio fans very excited. They can't wait to reach the end of the next season to see how many championships they have won...
※ ※ ※
Just when Lazio was cheering and celebrating their championship, another thing happened in faraway Barcelona.
After returning from London, Guardiola held a press conference and announced that he had resigned as the head coach of Barcelona.
"I have talked to the chairman. I think it's time to end my cycle in Barcelona... I am very grateful for the club's support for me in the past three years, and I have also enjoyed the three seasons in Barcelona. But I am tired and I want to take a rest..."
Guardiola spread his hands and said: "Thank you for your support in the past three seasons."
He said goodbye to this position.
The reporters below were not very surprised.
After Barcelona lost to Lazio without resistance,
some media believed that dismissal was the best way for Guardiola to take responsibility for it.
This final was too shameful for Barcelona. Losing to Changsheng, and losing so miserably, is unbearable for anyone. If Guardiola doesn't resign, the media will also ask him to resign.
Some people even think conspiracy theories. Given the relationship between Guardiola and Changsheng, could it be that Guardiola deliberately lost to Changsheng?
Nowadays, Guardiola has announced his resignation, and not many people feel nostalgic.
They believe that after Guardiola leaves, there will be a better head coach to lead Barcelona and help Barcelona rise again.
Why does Guardiola's Barcelona always lose to Lazio, and lose without any resistance? Because Changsheng and Guardiola are too familiar, he knows almost every detail of Barcelona, so he can make targeted arrangements. In the end, this is the result.
So Guardiola is fired. It's good for everyone.
At this time, no one misses the triple crown and six crowns created by Guardiola in Barcelona.
This is the tradition of Barcelona. They are always cruel and cold to those "predecessors" who are swept out. A new generation is better than the old. They only hear the newcomers laugh, but they don't care about the old ones crying.
When Messi rose to prominence, Ronaldinho was kicked out by them mercilessly. At that time, the Catalan media bombarded Ronaldinho with a voice that was deafening. At that time, the media didn't even remember how they cheered for Ronaldinho's genius performance before...
Barcelona thought that after Guardiola left, they could find a better head coach. Even with Barcelona's strength, they didn't need a very good coach, just someone to sit on the coaching bench, and anyone could lead the team to win the championship.
The Catalan media cheered, but they never thought that after Guardiola left, Barcelona would never find a decent head coach again... They thought that changing the head coach would make the results better, but in fact it was the opposite.
Since then, Barcelona has been suppressed by Mourinho's Real Madrid in the league, and in the European arena, it was beaten by Lazio and fled, and there was no chance to compete with Lazio...
※ ※ ※
The day after the grand celebration, the Lazio team disbanded, and everyone had to enjoy the holiday.
They have put in too much effort and sweat in the past season, and they are exhausted physically and mentally. Now they need to rest well.
Changsheng also took his family to Canada, vacationing in Avril's hometown, away from the media, to relax and rest.
Before that, Ji Ming was taken back to China by his father, and their family should be reunited.
The holiday is particularly precious to Changsheng.
Because his vacation is too short.
Only two weeks later, Changsheng returned to Rome, and Avril was still taking a fake rest with her son.
Changsheng resisted so much because as a head coach, who is very busy this summer.
Lazio has won the treble for two consecutive seasons. Their achievements are naturally unprecedented, but the pressure is also enormous.
In order to keep the team's level at a very high level and to ensure the team's competitiveness, a lot of work needs to be done to win.
The recruitment work is just one of them.
In terms of personnel management, Coentrao may leave Lazio.
He is definitely not willing to be a long-term rotation in Lazio. He believes that his strength can be the main force in other teams.
He must have such strength. This is not because Coentrao is arrogant.
There is not a single player who comes out of Lazio who is poor in quality, even if he is a substitute in Lazio. He went to be the main player of other teams.
Coentrao feels that he has received enough honors and he has little interest in continuing to win honors at Lazio. He is eager to prove his worth in the game.
This is a conflict of personal development concepts.
Just like those players who left Lazio before.
Changsheng has no intention of making things difficult for Coentrao, as long as there is a suitable offer. He would readily let Coentrao go.
As for Coentrao's replacement, Chang Sheng already has a target.
He took aim at Salvatore Bochetti, a young Italian left back who plays for Rubin Kazan.
The main defender of Italy U21 is still capable, but his strength is not outstanding enough to completely defeat Balzaretti. He is just suitable to be used as a rotation player.
I believe Bochetti will also be happy to come to Lazio. The only problem is the price.
It's almost impossible to get three players for free like last year.
Lazio got some blood this time no matter what.
※ ※ ※
In addition to Bochetti, Chang Sheng also has his eye on a Chinese player.
Just like what he said to Ji Leng before, he really has his eye on several Chinese players.
However, only one of these Chinese players can come, and the winning team still needs to be screened.
Chang Sheng attaches great importance to Chinese players, and naturally there is an emotional factor in it. Because he is Chinese, he hopes that Chinese players can show themselves on the top stage in Europe. It also improves the level.
But this is not the most important reason. Let Chang Sheng be willing to leave precious non-EU signing quotas to his compatriots. That must be because these Chinese players have outstanding strength and huge potential, which gives Chang Sheng hope. That's why.
If the strength is not enough, even if it is Chinese. Chang Sheng wouldn't even consider it.
This has not changed from what he did back then. When the Chinese team entered the World Cup for the first time, Chang Sheng went to watch three of the Chinese team's games. As a result, the Chinese media misunderstood that he wanted to introduce Chinese players. Chang Sheng even refuted the rumors.
Chang Sheng's favorites include ** Peng and Wu Lei.
After much deliberation, Chang Sheng finally chose Wu Lei.
Because Wu Lei is younger, has greater plasticity and greater potential.
Wu Lei, who was born on the tail end of 1991, is only 19 years old this year. If he comes to Lazio for training at this time, he will make faster progress and the rewards will be greater in the future.
Chang Sheng thought of the agency he asked Ji Leng to work for. He thought that maybe Wu Lei's transfer could be the first transfer transaction run by his agency.
In this case, you can also advertise your brokerage company. The attention of domestic media and European media will be free advertising!
The more Chang Sheng thought about it, the more he realized it was feasible.
But first, he had to see what Wu Lei himself and the East Asia Club thought.
After all, Wu Lei is a player of an East Asian club. Although East Asia Club is a satellite club of Lazio, it is also an independent club. It does not mean that Lazio can do whatever they want.
So he dialed Xu Genbao's phone number.
※ ※ ※
When Xu Genbao heard that Lazio was interested in Wu Lei, he did not refuse, but laughed happily: "This must be good news for Xiao Lei!"
Chang Sheng was a little surprised when he heard Xu Genbao's tone: "Do you agree with Wu Lei going abroad?"
"If it were a team from one of the second-tier European leagues, I would reject it without hesitation. But you are different, Xiao Chang. You are the head coach of Lazio. What kind of team is Lazio? I don't need to say more, right?" That kid Xiao Lei can play for Lazio at such a young age. That is his blessing and that is what I want to see. What should I refuse?”
Chang Sheng was relieved when he heard Xu Genbao say this.
Now I just need to ask Wu Lei for his personal opinion.
"I believe Xiao Lei will have no problem with it. Being able to play for Lazio is what he wants!"
Chang Sheng expressed his gratitude to Xu Genbao, and then called Ji Leng and asked Ji Leng to contact Wu Lei and ask him if he was willing to come and play for Lazio.
If Wu Lei is willing, then start the transfer matter.
If you don't want to...then convince him.
Anyway, Wu Lei must win the victory.
