Chapter 202 Sensation (12/21)

After Chang Sheng communicated with Falcao, he repeated Falcao's panicked heart, and then returned to his room.

As soon as he came back, there was a knock on the door.

It was his head coach, Rudy Gonzalez.

"What's wrong with you, Lotito is looking for you, but your phone always prompts to turn off the phone." Rudy said to Chang Sheng as soon as he entered the door. "Do you know about the exposure of Falcao's transfer?"

Chang Sheng raised the phone that had been turned off, and said to Rudy: "That's why I turned off the phone, I was almost harassed to death!"

"I sympathize with you." Rudy said and handed the phone to Chang. "Lotito will call back later, you go ahead."

Then he sat down on the sofa in Changsheng's room.

"Is this going to have a big impact on the team?" he asked.

Chang Sheng shook his head: "We will try our best to keep the team from responding to this matter."

"But it's hard. Even if they don't say it, they think in their hearts. 'That Falcao guy ran away...' 'He went to Barcelona, ​​worth 50 million euros! Tsk tsk.' 'Me too Trying to find another home!'... You see that's it." Rudy Gonzalez said imitating the tone of the players.

Chang Sheng smacked his lips, but it was difficult to control people's hearts.

Especially when many people were planning to leave.

"Fortunately, we are only one Champions League away." Rudy continued.

"This Champions League champion...it's not easy to win..." Chang Sheng rested his head on the back of the sofa and looked at the ceiling.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" did create a problem for him.

People were already excited, but once the news of Falcao's transfer came out, I am afraid that people will become even more panicked.

How much thought do they have in training. If they don't train well in training, is it possible that they really want to use the lineup of the reserve team and the youth team to play in the Champions League final?

There is no doubt that you will lose, even the top spiritual victory method is useless.

At this moment, Lotito called.

"Hello,

Rudy, always with you..." Lotito said impatiently as soon as the phone was connected.

Until Chang Sheng interrupted him.

"I'm Chang, Mr. Chairman."

"Ah, often... I can't get through to you..."

"I turned off my phone, Mr. Chairman. Otherwise my phone would have died."

"Oh shit...they came to me too and I answered a few but they were too many. I'm off too...so now I'm calling you from a landline. Well, long story short , we must find a way to deal with it!"

"Did Laporta leak the secret?" Chang asked.

"I called and asked, and they firmly denied..."

"Of course they will firmly deny it, and I will deny it too..." Chang Sheng said. "I have already spoken to Falcao and I told him to relax and not respond to any media interviews. Let the club and me come forward..."

"You're right, Chang. The players tend to talk nonsense, and..."

"I'm afraid that he will affect his state because of this. He is our top scorer."

"Yes, yes, and also afraid of affecting his state... so what should we do?" Lotito asked.

"The club must issue a statement as soon as possible, admitting the transfer deal, but clarify why we didn't announce the news immediately, and then explain to the fans why we sold the top scorer in the team-this The statement can be written by me and published on our official website. Then, we will hold a press conference, which will be attended by you and me... This is what the club needs to do, and the rest will be left to me. "

"That's it?" Lotito seemed to feel that Chang Sheng explained too little.

"Of course, what else would it be?"

"Uh... well, when is the specific press conference time?"

"When we get to the Champions League final, let's go!"

※※※

After hanging up the phone with Lotito, the topic returned to how to make people in the team not to be tempted.

Rudy Gonzalez was not surprised that Chang Sheng took this matter on his shoulders.

He has been cooperating with Chang Sheng for almost eight years. When Chang Sheng just debuted, he worked with him. He already knows Chang Sheng very well.

He knew that this was Chang Sheng's style, so there was no need to say it.

"It seems that it is necessary to make an example to the monkey..." Chang Sheng pondered.

"What does that mean?" Rudy didn't know much about Chinese idioms.

"In front of a group of monkeys, kill a chicken to scare them." Chang Sheng explained to him.

"How to scare?"

"The day after tomorrow is the second round against Chelsea. When the time comes, you take a notebook..." Chang Sheng explained to Rudy Gonzalez in this way.

※※※

The news of Falcao's transfer has been disclosed, which has attracted the attention of the media all over Europe.

Real Madrid, Chelsea and many other giant clubs fought for a long time, but they didn't expect Barcelona to snatch it in the end...

In this way, wouldn't Barcelona's strength increase greatly next season?

Laporta, who personally negotiated the transfer deal, immediately had the image of a capable, courageous and capable successful club chairman.

Those who were still bad-mouthing Laporta before also began to praise him.

The Barcelona fans are cheering for Falcao's arrival.

They fantasized that the front trident composed of Falcao, Eto'o and Messi will attack the team next season, win the league championship and the Champions League championship, and be invincible.

Of course, some people are happy and others are worried.

While Barcelona fans were elated about the impending arrival of Falcao, Lazio fans were sad and angry.

Another crime against Lotito!

If you don't want to make progress, it's fine if you don't buy big-name players. We can win the league championship with this lineup with an annual salary of no more than two million euros, and we are very content.

Now he even has to sell the leading shooter and number one star in the team!

It's crazy!

Lazio fans flocked to Lazio's official website, leaving messages protesting Lotito's decision and calling for the termination of Falcao's transfer deal.

Lazio's extreme fan group "The Unteachables" lashed out at arch-enemy Lotito on their own radio show.

"He is a hypocritical businessman! Only money is on his mind! He only thinks about his new stadium land worth hundreds of millions! Letting such a person become the chairman of Lazio will only make Lazio a tool for him to make money!"

There were even some "uneducable" fans who ran to Lotito's mansion and threw stones and glass bottles at Lotito's yard.

Lotito is usually stingy with investing, and now he even dares to sell the team's number one star!

All the fans' grievances against Lotito erupted at this moment!

Just the reaction of the fans is enough to cause headaches for the Lazio club, not to mention the harassment from the media.

Breno Pacheco stared at Lazio all day after his news article was published, and he was overjoyed by the reaction of the Lazio fans.

This is why he deliberately announced the news before the start of the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.

Looking at Lazio's embarrassed appearance, he felt happy.

The emotions that have been suppressed for half a season are like a volcanic eruption, vented out!

He's so cool!

※※※

Just when Pacheco was secretly cool and Chang Sheng led the team to prepare for the game in London, the Lazio club published a statement on its official website.

In the statement, the Lazio club acknowledged the existence of Falcao's transfer transaction.

But at the same time explained to the fans why the club wanted to sell Falcao.

Because you need money to pay off your debts.

Of course, this explanation did not really convince the fans, especially with the media fanning the flames...

Pacheco wrote directly in the "Gazzetta dello Sport" that Lazio's official club's explanation was so feeble.

"Lazio has received an amnesty from the Italian tax department. They can pay off their current debts in 23 years. They need to repay 5.5 million euros a year without even interest! With such a loose policy condition, 19 other Italians No club in the first division has ever enjoyed it! Such loose debt repayment terms, the Lazio club said that they sold players to repay the debt, it is ridiculous!"

Pacheco took off his disguise, completely tore his face, and went to Lazio.

Don't mess up Lazio's Champions League, he vowed not to give up!

※※※

But in the fierce turmoil, Chang Sheng did not speak.

He and his team were in London preparing for the game against Chelsea, and no sound came out. Some reporters tried to interview Falcao at the first time, but all were rejected.

Falcao does not give any interviews and does not speak.

There are all kinds of rumors in the media. Some people say that Falcao has received threats from extreme Lazio fans.

Some people say that Falcao has been isolated in the Lazio locker room because of the transfer.

...

But no matter what the outside world said, Falcao just kept silent.

Some reporters wanted to interview Chang Sheng, but after calling for two days, Chang Sheng's cell phone was not turned on.

But they are not in a hurry, they know that Chang Sheng will attend the pre-match press conference, and Chang Sheng will definitely attend. It's not too late to ask him then!

On the afternoon of the last day before the game, the pre-match press conference.

Chang Sheng attended as scheduled.

The press conference gathered more than fifty journalists of all kinds, both written and television.

They don't care about Lazio and Chelsea's semi-final results, they are all planning to ask Chang Sheng about Falcao's transfer.

As for the semi-finals, who cares now!

After Chang Sheng was seated and the host announced the start of the press conference, the reporters impatiently raised their hands, and some even stood up from their seats.

You don't see the slightest "gentlemanly demeanor" from them.

Such a formation, even the Chelsea press officer who has been tested by the Mourinho era is rare, and he was taken aback.

Chang Sheng turned a blind eye to this, and he raised his hand, indicating that he wanted to speak.

So the scene fell silent, waiting for him to speak.

"I'm going to be ugly, this is the pre-match press conference for the semi-final of the Champions League between Chelsea and us. I will not answer any questions that are not related to this game. It is respect for the opponent. Okay, you can here we go."

After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he made a gesture of please.

So everyone quickly raised their hands again without any hesitation, as if what Chang Sheng just said had no effect on their hearts at all...

The press officer looked at so many active reporters and didn't know who to point to.

In the end he had to call someone at random to get up and ask questions.

The reporter who was pointed was very excited, and asked Chang Sheng immediately: "Mr. Chang, about the trade of Falcao between your club and Barcelona...Why did the Lazio club sell their own striker?"

After he finished asking, everyone stared at Chang Sheng, even the press officer at Stamford Bridge turned to look at Chang Sheng, as if looking forward to Chang Sheng's answer.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chang Sheng glanced at the reporters in the audience.

He could see anticipation, longing, mockery and schadenfreude in the reporters' swollen eyes.

After so many years, these people are still not good at hiding their emotions when they are in trouble...

After Chang Sheng scanned it again, he still didn't answer the question.

But the scene was very quiet, and everyone was waiting for his answer.

In order not to disturb him, everyone held their breath and kept silent.

Seeing them like this, Chang Sheng suddenly smiled.

Everyone who laughed was baffled.

But after laughing, he leaned back in the chair, still not intending to answer the question.

For a while, the press conference site fell into an embarrassing and weird silence.

The press officer also turned to look at Chang Sheng. Seeing that Chang Sheng still had no intention of answering, he reminded him: "Sir?"

Chang Sheng turned his head and said to him in English: "As I said, I only answer questions related to the game."

"Uh..." The press officer also lost his mind.

I had to say to the reporter who asked the question: "Lazio's head coach only answers questions related to the game."

"This has nothing to do with the game! Isn't Falcao a player participating in the game?"

The reporter was in a hurry.

Chang Sheng faced him, still not saying a word.

The two sides just stared at each other for a full minute.

For a minute, Chang Sheng just looked at the reporter, but didn't speak.

In the end, the reporter was defeated under Chang Sheng's silent gaze.

He sat down and chose to give up.

The press officer called the second reporter, and then specifically reminded him: "Please ask questions related to the game."

But Chang Sheng's attitude angered these reporters. Chang Sheng didn't let them ask questions about Falcao's transfer, but they still wanted to ask!

So the second reporter ignored the press officer's reminder and still asked questions about Falcao's transfer.

Chang Sheng's response to this is still silent. But this time he didn't stare at the other party, even though the other party tried his best to kill him with their eyes.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, letting reporters see only his chin and nostrils.

This time without waiting for a minute, the press officer directly called the third person and reminded them again: "Please ask questions related to the game."

The third reporter turned a blind eye to this and continued to ask about Falcao's transfer.

Chang Sheng turned his face to the press officer this time.

Although he didn't say anything, the press officer understood—these reporters took Lao Tzu naked as air!

He was not impolite, and ordered another person directly, repeating the same reminder.

A fourth reporter stood up and repeated the questions of the first three. Didn't even change a single word.

Obviously, the reporter also hooked up with Chang Sheng.

But this time it wasn't Chang Sheng who got involved with the reporters, but the press officer from Stamford Bridge.

Although he likes to see the enemy's head coach being harassed by reporters, it doesn't feel good to be nakedly ignored like this!

So he didn't give Chang Sheng a chance to continue to be in a daze at all, and immediately called the fifth reporter, and continued to remind him, which was exactly the same as the last reminder.

But the reporters continued to ignore him, asking the same question, and then staring at Chang Sheng.

The press officer looked down at his watch, and then directly announced: "Since you don't have any questions to ask about the competition, I announce that this press conference is over!"

Only then did the reporters turn their attention to the maddened press officer. Some were surprised, some were puzzled, some were angry.

The press officer pointed at them, raised his head and said, "I warned you, gentlemen. But since you are all deaf, so be it, the press conference is over!"

He said it again.

At this moment, he felt that he finally had the feeling of Mourinho's deadly confrontation with reporters and giving advice.

Chang Sheng was delighted to see this scene.

He stood up and waved to the astonished reporters: "Goodbye."

After speaking, he walked towards the exit without stopping. Then he opened the door and disappeared outside the door...
