Lazio relied on Juventus' mistakes to return to the top of the league, but that doesn't mean they don't have problems.
A team that looks great on the outside must have problems internally.
Lazio, who always wins, seems to be monolithic, but in fact it is no exception.
This question is about retaining and not retaining people.
Winning teams do very well, but retaining people is not just about this. For professional players, money is very important.
There are currently several players in the team who do not intend to renew their contracts because their salaries cannot meet their requirements. This gives Chang Sheng a headache - he cannot solve this problem, so he has a headache.
Lotito would never give in.
So there was a stalemate.
Liverani and Gianni Keda are two people who want to leave, even though they are the main players of the team and even though they performed well.
Perhaps it is precisely because they are the main players of the team and perform well that they want to leave.
Gianni Keda wanted to leave a season ago, but Di Canio, the team captain at the time, convinced him not to abandon the team at this critical moment. So Gianni Keda accepted the request for a salary cut.
Renewed contract with the club for one year.
Now that half of the year has passed, the club's finances are still tight. If he still wants to stay at the club, I'm afraid he will have to accept his current annual salary being cut in half.
It was fine before, but now with the arrival of regular wins, Lazio's results are good, his performance is also outstanding, and more and more teams are interested in him, Gianni Keda is naturally not willing to stay in Lazio and earn such a salary.
He is already thirty-one years old. At the end of his career, he hopes to earn more pension money. There is obviously no way to make money if he continues to stay at Lazio.
So he wants to leave.
Liverani's situation is similar to Gianni Keda's, his contract also expired in July 2006.
According to Bosman's Law, they can actually contact other teams now.
Many teams approached him during the Christmas period.
Liverani has a better financial future than Gianni Keda. As Italy's first black international footballer, he already has many suitors in Serie A circles.
His outstanding performance at Lazio has attracted enough big clubs for him. Considering that he is a free transfer, those big clubs will also give him a big contract to fully meet his requirements in terms of salary and benefits.
In the face of such temptation, who can not be tempted?
Liverani has now played 20 rounds in the league. As the team's core midfielder, he has seven goals and five assists. This performance is perfect.
As a midfielder, it's amazing to have such statistics.
This also gives him the confidence and capital to jump to other big clubs.
Liverani is only 29 years old now, and he still hopes to go to a big club and gain both fame and fortune during the last glorious period of his career.
In Lazio, it may seem famous at the moment, but it's a pity that it can't make any money.
Professional players rely on this to make money to support their families. If you can't make money, it won't work.
So there is a lot of news this winter break about Liverani and Gianni Keda leaving the team.
Of course Chang Sheng hopes to sign another contract with them and then sell them. Otherwise, he won't get a penny. It's really a pity.
However, Liverani and Gianni Keda are determined not to renew their contracts, or they can renew their contracts and get a salary increase.
And it's not just a slight increase, but an increase of 50% compared to before the salary cut.
Their previous annual salary was between 1.5 million and 2 million. An increase of 50% on this basis would be unbearable for Lazio's finances.
So don't talk about Lotito, Chang Sheng himself doesn't want to either.
His annual salary of two million is Lazio's top salary. Even he doesn't get that much money. It seems like the two players get more than him?
Stop dreaming!
When the two sides could not reach an agreement, Liverani and Gianni Keda planned not to renew their contracts and leave on a free transfer when their contracts expired.
In this case, Lazio will not get a penny.
If the transfer budget hadn't been so small at the beginning, it would have been most appropriate to sell them all before the start of the season.
It's a pity that at that time, there were not many people who could win consistently. Liverani and Gianni Keda were the main players, so he had to use them.
As a result, after helping the other party to raise their value, they kicked Lazio...
Chang Sheng talked to the two players individually, hoping to get them to change their minds and stay.
He first talked about the team's honor, and he assured the players that the team would get the honor as soon as possible.
He then expressed his belief that the club will solve the financial problem as soon as possible, and by then everyone's salary will be at a normal level.
However, Liverani and Gianni Keda did not accept Chang Sheng's persuasion.
Now that they have achieved results, there is no need to stay in Lazio.
In the past, Lazio was a sinking ship. Now, although Lazio will not sink for the time being, who knows what the future will look like? Maybe after one season, everything will change...
It's better to escape from here as soon as possible.
Although there is no saying in Italy that "a gentleman does not build dangerous walls", everyone understands this truth.
Then Chang Sheng hopes that the two people will not leave the team for free. In this case, Lazio will not make a penny, which is a heavy blow to Lazio who are in desperate need of money.
He hopes that the two men will renew their contracts with the club for two years, and then he promises to send them to a place that satisfies both of them before July next year.
But this was naturally rejected.
Liverani and Gianni Keda believed that the victory was just a temporary measure.
Once they sign, they will continue to play for Lazio in the next two years. As for what will happen in July next year, who knows then?
They feel that Chang Sheng's actions are nothing more than cheap players who want to use as much time as possible.
As for Chang Sheng saying that this clause could be written into the contract, they couldn't believe it.
They don't know much about legal matters. When the time comes for a lawsuit, Lazio Club will obviously have more energy than the players themselves.
They don't believe what the capitalists say.
If you sign it, it will be too late to regret it.
So the two of them were determined to leave.
Persuasion is ineffective, and Chang Sheng has nothing to do.
What he should be thinking about now is what will happen after Liverani and Gianni Keda are gone.
Originally, he didn't want to let Modric take the lead in Serie A so early. Therefore, Modric has always been a substitute and has many opportunities to play, but he is not the main core.
Now it seems that Modric must step up.
After Gianni Keda left, it was not enough to rely on Melo, and Khedira had to be the main force.
This time, there are two people missing.
To prepare for a rainy day, he had to react now. It would be too late to wait until summer to buy someone.
Chang Sheng searched in his mind and finally locked on Yinle.
The best time to buy Inler cheaply is this winter break, and you have to do it quickly. If you wait any longer, Inler will go to the Swiss giant Zurich Football Club. It will be difficult to buy him at that time, because half a year later
, Zurich, who have regarded Inler as their absolute main force, will not let him go easily, and a year and a half later they will have to compete with Udinese.
Chang Sheng's current transfer strategy is not to compete with anyone. As long as they compete, they will raise the price, and Lazio simply cannot afford to raise the price.
So the people he bought were players that no one was interested in at the moment.
The same is true for Inle.
At that time, Udinese had no competitors and spent one million euros to buy Inler from Zurich. If there were competitors, there is no telling how high the price would have been.
Starting now, Chang Sheng is confident that it can be completed within 500,000 euros.
But act quickly.
At this time, Zurich should have contacted Aarau, the club where Inler currently plays.
He is a little late. The only thing he can rely on is that in the players' minds, Lazio is more famous and stronger than Zurich, and the Italian Football League is also more attractive than the Swiss Football Super League...
He hopes to use this to attract Inler to give up Zurich and choose Lazio.
※※※
Chang Sheng did not go there in person to buy people, nor did he even ask the club's general manager to go. He told Lotito about it, and Lotito went on his own - for the purpose of saving human resources, Lotito
Tuo wears many hats, and currently General Manager Demita is semi-retired and basically does nothing.
Lotito does all the club affairs himself, which can save costs.
He even bought an economy class ticket to Switzerland instead of first class.
But Chang Sheng doesn't care how he goes, as long as he takes Yinle with him when he comes back.
Lotito now has no doubt about his vision of winning.
Chang Sheng will buy whoever he says he wants to buy, provided the price is not expensive.
Chang Sheng told him that Inle was worth at most 300,000 euros, but his future value would be around 20 million euros.
So Lotito rushed on the flight from Rome, Italy to Zurich, Switzerland, like a green-eyed wolf.

There is no need for Chang Sheng to worry about recruiting people. Chang Sheng squeezes the focus of his work into competitions and training.
In the second round of the league, Lazio faced Cagliari at home and defeated their opponent 1:0. At the same time, Juventus also defeated Empoli 2:1 at home.
The two teams have the same points and continue to lead the standings. Lazio is currently ranked first with advantages such as goal difference, number of goals scored and the relationship between wins and losses.
In the Italian Cup in mid-week, Lazio, which continued to field all substitutes, lost to Inter Milan 0:1 away from home and was eliminated.
But Chang Sheng didn't care at all.
Coppa Italia champion, you can do it anytime you want.
But not now.
Giving up the Italian Cup will allow him to focus more on the league.
Now he has a fierce competition with Juventus. He doesn't know if he can still win the league championship at the end of the season, but he has no reason to give up now. He must fight when it's time to fight until he can't fight anymore.
In the 22nd round of the league, Lazio defeated Treviso 1:0 away from home. Of course, Juventus also won.
Chang Sheng knows very well how terrifying Juventus is this season. Let’s not say whether they have been taken care of by the referee, but their strength is really strong.
In the well-known 2005-2006 season, Juventus finally won the league championship with a high score of 91 points. They only lost one game throughout the season...of course not to Lazio, just in Lost to AC Milan 1:3 away from home.
Such a powerful team is our opponent, and the pressure to win is also great.
But fortunately, his overall mentality is relatively relaxed.
Because his goal is to top four in the league, he is currently performing exceptionally well. If he can make Juventus a little embarrassed, why not win often?
