Chapter 19 Candidates for the Youth Training Supervisor
Chang Sheng usually doesn't care much about the domestic situation, but in fact he is very popular now.
Especially after the Chinese Olympic team failed in the Olympics, losing one game after another, Chinese fans missed their winning streak.
Look, we are all Chinese. You embarrass us at home, but Chang Sheng can win glory for the country on the top stage of European football. We are both Chinese, so why is the gap so big?
But they don't have the luxury of letting Chang Sheng coach the Chinese national team. Because they all know Chang Sheng's temper and the moral character of the Chinese Football Association.
For a head coach who demands monopoly power wherever he goes to any team, it is simply impossible for the Chinese Football Association to delegate power.
The result of the two parties forcing themselves together was that they broke up in the end.
There will be no good results at all.
So let him continue to play in European football. At least he can maintain his good image in everyone's mind.
If he came back, he might destroy this beauty.

Two days later, the CEO of this Chinese company came to Rome in person to sign a contract with Lazio Club.
Chang Sheng was also present at the signing ceremony.
Many Italian and Chinese media came.
Then Chang Sheng also presented the boss with a Lazio jersey on behalf of the team, with their company's logo printed on the chest, and the boss's name and number "888" printed on the back, which is pronounced as "fafa".
The boss took this jersey and took a photo with Chang Sheng in front of the media, smiling from ear to ear.
With so many Italian media reporting on this matter, their goal of finding Lazio Club has been achieved.
From now on, as Lazio travels across Europe, more fans and TV viewers will notice their brand.
There is no better way to advertise than this.
This is much better than spending tens of millions to advertise in Times Square in New York.
Later, the photo was enlarged and hung on the wall of the company's headquarters building. Everyone who came in could see their boss standing with Chang Sheng, holding a Lazio jersey in his hand.

In this way, Lazio finally no longer have to run naked in the new season. An advertisement for a Chinese company appeared on their chests.
Although it is a Chinese company, there is not a single Chinese character appearing on the Lazio ball.
The top is their corporate graphic logo, an A inside a circle, and the bottom is their English LOGO.
Obviously, this is aimed at the European audience. They came to Lazio to advertise not to show off to people in China - look, we are a Chinese company that can appear in European competitions! They just want to open up the European market.
Of course, the cooperation with Lazio will also help improve their brand image in the Chinese market.
In the eyes of Chinese consumers, if it can be related to foreign products, it will immediately become high-end and foreign-style.
Although this kind of thinking is a bit advocating for foreigners, it is indeed a common social phenomenon. Foreign Metersbonwe has become a high-end foreign product in China, and foreign junk fast food has become a reward for parents to their children in China.
…
What the company has to do is not to correct the social atmosphere, but to benefit itself as much as possible in this social atmosphere.

Chang Sheng easily brought him 6.1 million euros in annual commercial sponsorship, which made Lotito trust Chang Sheng even more.
He also deeply realized that as long as his team keeps winning, the competitive performance of the team without scoring goals is guaranteed, and even the economic income is guaranteed. Chinese companies and Chinese people will continue to contact him because of the constant winning.
Trying to add more Chinese elements to Lazio.
Lotito is not a conservative. He doesn't care at all about allowing Chinese elements to invade Lazio. In the eyes of extreme fans, it is a serious act of betrayal. As long as there is money to be made, what about the club's tradition and what about the club's political stance...
…It’s all bullshit!
He now likes China and Chinese people very much, and he does not discriminate against them at all.
He even planned to hug China's thigh tightly, thinking that it would definitely bring more benefits to him in the future.
His trust in Chang Sheng led him to implement Chang Sheng's advice without hesitation, which was to invest all his funds in rebuilding the club.
First, renovate the training ground, re-cultivate the turf, update the training facilities, add floor heating to the training ground, and improve the drainage system of the training ground... The players of the first team concentrated on one piece of turf for training, and other turfs began to be renovated and rested in sequence.
The entire Lazio club's training base, Vermelo, turned into a bustling construction site.
Construction vehicles, trucks and other construction machinery shuttle in and out.
Busy every day, although a little noisy, it is full of vitality and vitality, which means Lazio has a bright future.
Before the previous debt was repaid, the Vermello training base was mortgaged to the Italian national tax department.
At that time, Lotito never thought about maintaining the training ground or anything else. Maintenance would only make it easier for the tax department.
So he simply let the team make do with it.
Lazio was able to win three league championships, a UEFA Cup championship and a Champions League championship on such a terrible training ground. People have to admire their ability to lead the team to win...
At the same time, when the club is rebuilding its echelon, Chang Sheng also needs to consider the longer term.
That is to find a suitable youth training director for the echelon.
In the current Lazio team, there is no youth training director.
Since there is no youth training camp anymore, what do youth training directors do?
At that time, during the massive layoffs after Lotito came to power, the youth training director and youth training coach were basically fired.
Now Chang Sheng needs to find a director for the newly built youth training camp.
Of course, it is impossible for him to find someone from his first-team coaching staff to serve as a part-time or share the responsibility.
Originally, after Guardiola left, there were fewer first-team coaches and they had to be in charge of youth training, which was not something that could be taken care of.
So Chang Sheng has to find someone else.
As for the candidate, Chang Sheng already has a plan in mind.
This man was later the head coach of Inter Milan, and was known as the best youth training coach in Italy, Andrea Stramaccioni.
Stramaccioni's playing days began in Roma, but he did not achieve success in Roma. Later, he retired early due to a serious knee injury in Bologna and became a coach at the age of 24.
He has coached many amateur youth teams.
At the age of twenty-five, he led a youth team Az_Sport in Rome to win the provincial championship. He then worked in Romulea until 2005, during which he led the youth team to win the Italian Under-17 Amateur Championship.
League champion.
In 2003, he obtained the youth coaching certificate.
He became the coach of the Roma youth team in 2005 and led the team to win the Italian Under-17 Professional League Championship in 2007.
If Chang Sheng had not looked for him and allowed him to continue to develop, he would have won the Italian Under-18 Professional League Championship in 2010 and the Under-18 Beppe_Viola Cup Championship in the same year.
Then he was poached to Inter Milan in 2011, and in 2012 he led Inter Milan's under-19 youth team to win the first European Under-19 Champions League.
As a youth training head coach, he has strong leadership skills.
However, he did not realize his long-cherished wish in Rome, which was to become the director of the youth training camp.
Because in Rome, the youth training director is Alberto De Rossi, the head coach of the under-19 youth team, who is De Rossi’s father.
The elder De Rossi's position in Roma is very secure.
Later, because Enrique became the head coach of Roma, Enrique brought his direct descendants from Spain. Stramaccioni was not reused, and was eventually successfully poached by Inter Milan, who had been pursuing him for two months.
After Ranieri was fired by Inter Milan, Stramaccioni became the head coach of the first team for the first time and rose to the top. At that time, Moratti's decision surprised many people. No one thought of Inter Milan.
Such a giant would actually choose a young man who had never worked in the first team before. At that time, Stramaccioni was only 36 years old! And he also became the youngest team coach in the history of Serie A -
- Of course, it is impossible now. Now Chang Sheng has already set a record at the age of 32 that is almost impossible to be broken.
As a result, Stramaccioni took office despite people's doubts and performed reasonably well, which proved his coaching ability and made Inter Milan willing to renew his contract for two years.
His experience is actually somewhat similar to that of Chang Sheng. He made his debut in the youth training camp, and then left the original club for some reasons and proved himself in other clubs. All of them were suddenly successful without any experience in the first team.
He was pushed to the position of head coach of the first team by circumstances. It’s just that he was not as successful as his winning streak. After all, people can win through time and space, and there are cheats. Failure to succeed is unjustifiable...
But he and Chang Sheng still have a lot in common, so when Chang Sheng said he wanted to find a youth training director, he was the first person that came to mind.
Although he currently lacks a first-team coach, Chang Sheng believes that youth training is more important.
If Lazio wants to develop sustainably and maintain a high level, its youth training must keep up.
You won't get far by always relying on buying and selling people. By 2013, his ability to predict will no longer work...
Although Stramaccioni is the coach of Roma Club, Chang Sheng doesn't think this is a problem.
We are all adults, and we should have a plan for our career prospects. I believe Stramaccioni should know what is best for us...
Moreover, based on Chang Sheng’s understanding of Stramaccioni’s subsequent events, Chang Sheng believed that Stramaccioni was not a foolish and loyal person. He also had his own ideals and principles.
Therefore, the hatred between Roma and Lazio cannot be an obstacle for him to come to Lazio! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
