Chapter 55 The Soap Opera About Gotze
Chang Sheng felt amused that he really received a fax from Manchester United asking for Goetze.
What is Manchester United thinking?
They really think that Gotze has just moved to Lazio for less than half a season, and he will move again?
Do they think that Gotze, like Kiko, can be bought with money?
So he didn't pay attention to Manchester United's offer at all, and just let it go there, no matter what.
Manchester United waited for two days, but did not hear from Lazio.
They decided to contact Gotze directly.
But at this time, "Corriere dello Sport" published an interview with Gotze.
In the interview article, Gotze talked about the inside information about his arrival from Borussia Dortmund to Lazio.
"I have seen the recent remarks about Lazio and the boss in the media. I am very grateful to Dortmund for the training of me. But I want to say that the facts are not as you imagined. The boss did not trick me into Lazio with rhetoric, he just Told me I was going to play in the first team - now you look back, did he lie? I did play in the first team."
Gotze told reporters.
"But that's not why I came to Lazio... I'm not the kind of person who has to play in the first team, I'm only sixteen, I didn't think about such a thing. The reason why I decided to accept Lazio's invitation was only One - that is my personal admiration for the boss! Yes, I worship the boss, so when the boss appeared in front of me and asked me if I would like to go to Lazio, I made a decision without any hesitation at all! I Desperate to play under the boss, and now it turns out that my choice is correct! I have never regretted it...Although saying this will make Dortmund fans unhappy, but I will be honest, the boss is that I would like to leave Dortmund for Lazio the only reason!"
After the interview came out, everyone was taken aback.
Because before, no one really thought that Gotze would go to Lazio for Changsheng!
In their view, how could Chang Sheng, who has such a poor image, be attractive to players?
Does he have any charisma at all?
It's ridiculous!
But Gotze pushed back on their old notions—indeed,
In the minds of many young players, Chang Sheng, who is good at using young people, is indeed very charming!

Facing the interview with Corriere dello Sport, the German media lost their voices collectively...
Ren Gece said that he went to Lazio because of his admiration for Changsheng. This is his own choice and has nothing to do with the intrigue at the club level. What else can they say?
Although they were scolding Gotze for not understanding the overall situation in their hearts!
Because they originally planned to use Gotze to benefit German football, successfully attracting UEFA President Michel Platini's statement was one of their goals, and they also planned to continue to promote EU legislation.
As a result, as soon as Gotze came out, he said that he was voluntary, and they immediately couldn't continue to intervene in this matter.
Everyone has the right to choose. Since there is no work contract between him and Dortmund, then he worships Changsheng and is willing to go to Lazio. What's the problem?
Before they criticized Chang Sheng, they said that Chang Sheng had deceived Gotze and deceived Gotze with sweet words, so they took him away from Dortmund.
But the reality is quite different from what they say.
The German media kept silent, but Gotze's speech caused dissatisfaction with Dortmund.
In an interview, Klopp publicly expressed his regret for Gotze's speech: "I don't think Gotze should say that. We, throwing ourselves into the arms of other teams, still say it so high-sounding...It's not good. Gotze was not like this before, I think it was affected by being with Chang for a long time..."
The Dortmund fans publicly called Gotze a bastard, which means that he only recognizes money.
They firmly believe that Gotze will earn more in Lazio than in Dortmund, so no matter what Gotze said, he went to Lazio for money.
Playing first-team games or something, of course, is because the wages of playing first-team games are much higher than playing youth team games!

Under such circumstances, Chang Sheng had no choice but to stand up and speak for his disciples.
He did not instruct the "Corriere dello Sport" to interview Gotze to speak for himself. With the bad relationship between him and the "Corriere dello Sport", it is impossible for him to let the Roman media do this.
What's more, it is absolutely impossible for him to let players block bullets for him.
Chang Sheng didn’t know about Gotze – he knew that Gotze was going to accept an exclusive interview with Corriere dello Sport. He was personally unhappy with Corriere dello Sport, but he had no right to ask his players to be unhappy with Corriere dello Sport. , Do not accept interviews with Corriere dello Sport. After all, as the largest professional newspaper in Rome, "Corriere dello Sport" still has a great influence-he didn't know because he didn't know that Gotze would say this in an interview.
For this reason, he also specially found Gotze.
"Although I appreciate you speaking for me, Mario. But you shouldn't say this. Because it will damage your image. Look at how many people in Germany are scolding you now?"
Gotze seemed stubborn on this issue: "I don't care what they say, boss. But if I want to see them wantonly smearing you and doing nothing... then I can't do it."
Chang Sheng smiled: "You are a player, Mario, the best way to fight back against them is on the court. Use your outstanding performance on the court to prove that your choice is correct, and make those who scold you feel regretful and disappointed .This is what you should do. As for verbal disputes, it is better to leave it to the professionals."
Then Chang Sheng took the initiative to talk about Gotze's issue in an interview.
He ridiculed Dortmund coach Klopp: "Klopp said that Gotze was like that before, and now he is like this... He said it as if he and Gotze are very familiar. But in fact, Gotze left Dortmund At that time, he had only been in Dortmund for two months. Does he know Gotze well? This kind of act of pretending to be familiar with others seems really naive. Everyone says that Klopp is a young coach, and I agree. He's really underage..."
Next, Changsheng also counterattacked the Dortmund fans.
Unlike mocking Klopp, his counterattack to Dortmund fans is much more direct: "Obviously, Dortmund fans are jealous of Gotze, because Gotze made a right choice. This makes Dortmund fans think What happened to them last season. I heard they criticized Gotze as a bitch? Sorry, they are."
Chang Sheng directly scolded the Dortmund fans as idiots, which can be regarded as a very powerful "feat". Because it's rare for a manager to attack fans so directly.
Even the reporter who interviewed him was surprised: "Isn't that right?"
Chang Sheng shrugged: "What's wrong? Are they only allowed to insult my players, and I am not allowed to talk back? There is no such reason in this world!"
"But they are fans after all..."
"Which team's fans? Is it from our Lazio? Oh, no? It's not my business! To me, they are not fans!" Chang Sheng's attitude was tough. "I am not responsible for the feelings of anyone other than the Lazio fans."

Chang Sheng's doing so added another piece of evidence to his "extremely controversial" four-word evaluation. Dortmund was naturally furious, thinking that Chang Sheng's actions were immoral, and he set a bad example for everyone.
Dortmund fans even angrily denounced Chang Sheng as shameless, despicable and shameless, with no lower limit. His existence is a discredit to the entire football game.
Of course, no one is discussing whether Gotze "abandoned" Dortmund, who gave birth to him and raised him, and went to Lazio to pursue his own future.
Chang Sheng successfully rescued his players from the vortex of public opinion.
As for the controversy on him, he doesn't care about that.

In addition to supporting his disciples off the court, Chang Sheng also continued to trust Gotze on the court.
In the thirteenth round of the league and the match, Mario Gotze continued to start.
And Gotze also knows what kind of support his boss needs.
In this game, he was very active and finally scored a goal and an assist.
Help Lazio win 4:1.
Chang Sheng proudly said after the game: "When Dortmund's Gotze was still unknown in the youth team, Lazio's Gotze has become the hottest player in Europe. That's why Lazio's Gotze is smarter than Dortmund's Gotze s reason."
If Gotze's performance in this game is bad, these media will have something to say.
However, Gotze performed very well in this game...
This made those journalists who wanted to say something unpleasant to disgust Chang Sheng not know how to open their mouths.
Especially the German media.
They felt as if they had been slapped by Chang Sheng and Gotze master and apprentice together...
After the game, the Italian media also stood up to speak for Gotze and Changsheng.
Although they are usually victorious, the contest with the German media is a struggle between countries, and they naturally want to help their teams.
"Players have freedom of movement. As long as there is no contract with the other party, they can go to a team that is better for them. Gotze's performance proves how correct he was when he chose to come to Lazio."
"I don't understand why the German media is so dissatisfied. Didn't Gotze become an Italian player after he came to Lazio and no longer play for Germany? Seeing his performance in Lazio, a real German fan is not Should I be happy from the bottom of my heart? My players have proved their abilities in other countries' leagues, which just shows the strength of the German youth training. This is an honorable thing for German football...Why are there so many? People insult Gotze? Oppose him to go to Lazio?"
"Is Lazio a bandit? They have paid up to 800,000 euros in compensation to the Borussia Dortmund club in accordance with FIFA regulations. There is no legal problem for them to get Gotze. And I think compared to Manchester United, Lazio really has a better conscience. What if Lazio only gave Dortmund £35,000? What would they say?"
The wind of public opinion has reversed... (to be continued)
