Chapter 5 Mario · Götze's Adoration

Motta is the first player announced by the Lazio club this summer.

Then Lazio did not announce again, but their actions never stopped.

Next, Changsheng needs a midfielder and frontcourt panacea.

At the same time, this panacea should not be too expensive.

Chang Sheng immediately thought of Antonio Candreva in Udinese.

Candreva is a Roman, he really joined Lazio later.

But now he is at Udinese.

Last year, Udine's scouts took a fancy to his talent and recruited him into the team.

And has a Serie A appearance.

However, in the time and space before Changsheng traveled, he was loaned to Livorno in the 2008-2009 season. He was loaned for two consecutive seasons. He performed well in Livorno and was finally favored by Juventus. He later became a national footballer for the Italian national team.

All Chang Sheng has to do now is change Candreva's career ahead of schedule.

First proposed to Udinese on loan.

Direct buyout, Udinese probably disagrees. After all, they only bought Candreva for a year, and they are optimistic about Candreva's future potential.

Therefore, Changsheng intends to use the method of renting first and then buying out.

That is to rent for a season, and then add the right of first refusal to the loan contract.

The exact price is subject to negotiation.

But Candreva's constant victory is definitely necessary.

As a player who can play as an attacking midfielder, a defensive midfielder, and a full-back, he will never lack opportunities to play under Chang Sheng...

※ ※ ※

After signing Candreva, Chang Sheng intends to add strength to his striker.

Because he already basically knew who will leave and who will not leave before, so now he knows exactly where his team's position is confirmed.

There is a shortage of wingers.

If Falcao is leaving, Benzema must also be leaving.

This is inevitable, the silver boots of the Serie A last season, the silver boots of the Champions League last season. Such an excellent shooter has long attracted the attention of countless giants.

And Benzema is not the kind of person who is willing to stay in Lazio and live with two million euros.

He is ambitious. He dreams of joining a real giant.

Obviously, Lazio is not a real giant.

If Benzema also leaves, then the main striker combination of Lazio's season history will only win one 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 intends to make long-term investments.

He's targeting teenage prodigy... Mario Gotze in Borussia Dortmund, Germany.

Although Gotze did not play as a striker in Dortmund later, he belonged to the "3" position in Dortmund's 4231 formation.

This position is the winger in Lazio's 433.

Victory does not require how many goals Goetze scored. He just needs to be able to surprise opponents with his dribble.

In other words, Gotze is Lazio's Messi - the Messi before he had unlimited firepower.

At this time, Gotze was just sixteen years old and was playing in the Dortmund youth team.

Because the age is too young. Borussia Dortmund did not sign a professional contract with him.

So in theory, Gotze does not belong to the Dortmund club. As long as there is a team that can convince Gotze, they can get him, and then at most only give Dortmund a training fee ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of euros.

It depends on how much Dortmund cares about Gotze.

Dortmund actually cares about Gotze a lot.

Ask if they can't sign a professional contract with Gotze.

So it's useless to care.

Moreover, Dortmund's financial situation was not very good in those years, and their competitive performance also declined. Dortmund finished a disappointing 13th last season under Thomas Thor...

Chang Sheng thinks that if he pays a sum of money. It should be possible to get Gotze from Dortmund openly.

However, Chang Sheng still intends to get in touch with Getce in private.

In fact, Dortmund can't give Gotze a professional contract, and neither can Lazio.

Because Germany and Italy are the same, they both stipulate that players cannot sign professional contracts before the age of eighteen.

But Chang Sheng felt that he had an advantage here.

That's the charisma of a coach.

That's what he's betting on.

Because he remembered reading information about Gotze in later generations, it was said that Gotze's favorite coach is Guardiola, and his favorite team is Barcelona. He likes the kind of football Guardiola played in Barcelona.

He later went to Bayern Munich, which is probably related to this.

Chang Sheng didn't know after his rebirth. Gotze's preferences have not changed, but this is his only way out.

Guardiola, whom Gotze likes, is now under his own hands, in the Lazio formation.

And Lazio is playing the most pleasing football in Europe right now.

It's the Barcelona football that Gotze likes.

Chang Sheng plans to take Guardiola to Germany together.

With Changsheng's understanding of Goce. This summer will be his last chance to poach Gotze.

Because from the beginning of the 2008-2009 season, Gotze broke out in an all-round way 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 A-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 Gold Medal in the 17-year-old category of the Fritz Walter Prize.

He began to rise at the speed of the rocket class and entered everyone's field of vision.

Then at the end of 2009, on November 21, he represented Dortmund in the Bundesliga, when he was only 17 years and 5 months old.

Everyone knows the story that followed.

So in the summer of 2008, before too many people knew about this young man, Chang Sheng had a lot more chances of succeeding.

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, but said: "I'm going back to Rome now."

Chang Sheng quickly said: "You don't have to be so anxious, take your vacation. Spend time with your family. We're going to have a big fight next!"

But one day later, Chang Sheng received a call from Guardiola: "I'm in Rome, let's go now."

Although Chang Sheng was surprised, since Guardiola is so active, it is not a bad thing.

In fact, to grab Gotze really needs to hurry up.

So Chang Sheng asked the club to book two air tickets from Rome to Dortmund, and just like that, the two of them flew to Germany.

"Our plan was first to go to Gotze, go directly to Gotze's house, meet his parents, and then convince his parents..." On the plane from Rome to Dortmund. Chang Sheng explained to Guardiola.

"Wait, why not go straight to Borussia Dortmund?" Guardiola asked.

"Because that is meaningless." Chang Sheng shrugged and said, "Dortmund will not agree to us easily. Gotze is a genius, they are not fools. So we need to convince Gotze first, as long as Gotze agrees to go with us, Dortmund will just Can stare blankly."

"Does this... some... uh..." Guardiola didn't continue.

Chang Sheng helped him speak up: "Immoral?"

Guardiola didn't nod, but he didn't object either.

He thought that the excellent seedlings in La Masia's youth training camp were poached by the managers and coaches of other teams in this way.

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 house was. After getting off the plane, the two of them rested in the hotel room they had booked in advance for an afternoon. Chang Sheng called Gotze's home through the phone in the hotel.

Then he identified himself. In order to make Gotze more interested and hope to meet him, he also specifically emphasized that Guardiola is also with him.

Guardiola gave him a blank look.

Chang Sheng laughed at him. Because Gotze's father promised to let them come to Gotze's home.

"I never understood, Chang. Why did you ask me to come to Germany with you?" Guardiola asked Chang Sheng in the taxi from the hotel to Gotze's home. "I feel like I'm useless..."

"Who said it's useless? It's up to you to convince Getze when the time comes!" Chang Sheng said with his eyes wide open.

"Persuade Gotze? Me?" Guardiola shrugged. "I think in terms of eloquence, I'm not as good as you."

"Hehe." Chang Sheng laughed dryly twice.

Did not continue to explain.

It is impossible for him to tell Guardiola that because I came from time travel, he knows that Gotze likes you more, right?

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng and Guardiola soon sat down on the sofa in the living room of Gotze's home. The opposite is the parents of this Gotze.

Sixteen-year-old Gotze sat on the armchair between them.

His older brother Fabian and younger brother Felix sat on the arm of the sofa, one on each side. Three brothers together.

Chang Sheng smiled at them, this scene... is really grand.

"Uh, it's like this. We have expressed our intention to come over the phone, so we hope to hear your opinions, Mr. Gotze." Chang Sheng said to Mario Gotze's father, Jurgen Gotze .

Before Jurgen Gotze could speak, his wife, Mario Gotze's mother, said first, "Italy...is too far away."

"There is a plane, and it will be very soon." It was Mario Gotze's brother Fabian Goetze who took up the conversation. "I think my younger brother should go to Lazio. Everyone knows that Lazio is the champion of the Champions League. This is much better than staying in Dortmund and waiting for an opportunity that doesn't know when it will come." Fabian is already eighteen years old, and he is considered an adult. He also played in Dortmund's youth team, but his talent is obviously not as high as his younger brother. His younger brother, Xiao He, has already shown his sharp edges, and he is the one who is unknown.

"Then Mario won't be in the same team with us in the future?" Ten-year-old brother Felix Gotze is currently playing in Dortmund's youth team.

"Fabian, what do you know?" The mother put on her majesty. However, the eighteen-year-old Fabian is obviously past the age of being afraid of his mother. He curled his lips and said, "Mario is talented, and he will definitely succeed in the future. I think he should go to a team that is good for his future." The team, there is no doubt that this is Lazio. Because Lazio has a lot. He is the coach that Mario has always admired...”

Chang Sheng was dumbfounded.

What?

Mario Gotze adores me?

Shouldn't he like Guardiola?

What's happening here?
