Chapter 18: Is My Departure Better for the Team? （109/136）

Winning his tenure at Lazio was the most eye-catching news in European football during this period.

Because after hibernation for half a year, the champion coach has not actually stepped out of the mainstream football circle.

Now, when he returned and unexpectedly chose Lazio, many people naturally speculated about his motives for doing so.

Guess and guess, everyone only thinks that this is because of the gambled choice that Roma regrets by winning often.

So everyone thinks that the choice of winning is not very wise.

Reasonable people will feel that it is inappropriate to say that the choice of winning is doomed to failure, and it is better to leave it to time to verify everything.

Black Chang Win couldn't wait to say that Chang Sheng made a bad move.

The Spanish journalist said that Italy, you are dead......

During this time, the situation presented by the media was such a mess.

Chang Sheng began his work.

Although the team has been disbanded, and although most of the signings are over, there is still work to be done in Chang Win.

That's cleaning.

He doesn't want to wait until the players come back from vacation to start cleaning, and the training plan will be difficult to organize, because his training plan is specific to each individual. All players who are confirmed to leave must be confirmed now.

This kind of offending people, Chang Sheng did not hand it over to his assistant, nor did he let Lotito do it, but called them one by one and told them that they were no longer in the club's plan.

It was hard, but Chang Sheng decided to let himself play the villain. Because his image in the eyes of the media and the public is not very good anyway, it is better to make full use of this image to complete the work of cleaning the team.

In fact, many players don't need to make phone calls, they want to do it themselves, and for no other reason - at Lazio they take too little money. After Lotito came to power, the total salary of the players was cut from 70 million euros to 30 million euros, and many players are already thinking about leaving.

Only a handful of players will stay because they have a genuine affection for Lazio.

Therefore, it is these people that Changsheng mainly deals with.

Although they have genuine feelings for Lazio, if they stay in the team, it will become a problem for the team.

For example, Paul. Di Canio.

※※※

In June 2004, Di Canio had already signed a one-year contract extension with Charlton. But two months later, Di Canio suddenly decided to terminate Charlton's contract, go on a free transfer and take a big pay cut to return to Lazio, which was plagued by financial problems.

He did this to help the team that made his debut, and his actions at that time also touched many people.

After all, at that time, everyone was thinking about how to escape from Lazio, but Di Canio chose to return to Lazio at this time.

This faithfulness inspires the sun and the moon.

Chang Sheng also thinks that Di Canio is really a man, which is why he is willing to talk to Di Canio.

Not on the phone, but in person.

※※※

Through Lotito, the two quickly made an appointment.

In fact, Chang Sheng felt very embarrassed in this interview.

Because just after joining Lazio, Di Canio also expressed his support for himself, and he called on the fans to support Chang Won, because "this is a man who can bring us victory!" ”

The other party has such a high evaluation of himself, and he has to persuade him to leave the team, and Chang Sheng feels that it is really difficult to say this.

But he had to say it, because it was a matter of professional ethics. He knows that Di Canio will only be conducive to his own transformation of the team if he leaves the team, and if Di Canio stays in the team because of soft-heartedness, there may be many problems.

To be responsible for the team, he has to get Di Canio out of the team, even if Di Canio is the flag of the team.

With Di Canio's position and influence in Lazio, he will cause trouble for many of his reforms, and Di Canio is not a good-natured person, he is impulsive, and impulsiveness is the devil many times......

Chang Sheng wants to have a stable and controlled dressing room environment, not like in Rome. In his opinion, Roma have Totti, while Lazio has Di Canio, both of whom are troubles.

Lotito did not tell Di Canio what to talk to him about, Di Canio thought that he was going to talk to him about the team's plans for next season, as well as his confidence and hope to get the support of him as the Lazio captain.

So I gladly came to the appointment.

As a result, as soon as the two met, Chang Sheng's first words made the smile on DiCanio's face freeze.

In fact, how to speak, this question Chang Sheng thought about for a long time, he thought about it or else he would be close to DiCaniolara first, and then tell him what he was going to say.

He also thought about how to deal with him in terms of left and right, and then implied that there was no place for Di Canio in the team.

But after thinking about it, Chang Sheng finally thought of Di Canio's personality traits.

Such a straightforward person, I'm afraid the most acceptable is a straight-going rectum, right?

So Chang Sheng is simply straight to the point and straight to the point.

He asked Di Canio: "Paulo, can you accept the arrangement of playing as a substitute in a reborn Lazio?" ”

The smile on Di Canio's face froze, and he looked at Chang Sheng with an uncertain look, not quite believing what he had just heard.

Seeing the expression on Di Canio's face, Chang Sheng's embarrassment was even worse.

"Do you think I'm old, Coach? Even though I'm almost thirty-seven years old, I think I can maintain a high level of ......"

Chang Sheng shook his head: "No, I don't think you're old, your state can be maintained for a while, but, not in Lazio." "Now that everything has been spoken, it is simply all spoken. Chang Sheng continued: "The problem now is in my tactical system, you definitely can't play too many chances......

In fact, the original phrase should be "In my tactical system, there is definitely no place for you." "Chang Sheng tries to be a little more tactful about his ASUS and not stab Jī to Di Canio.

"Your tactical system?" Di Canio asked rhetorically, "What about Valencia and Rome?" ”

Chang Sheng shook his head: "No, it's an improved version." ”

"Improved?" Chang Sheng saw that Di Canio suddenly became interested in his tactics, and suddenly thought that Di Canio seemed to be the head coach after retiring?

So he began to explain his tactics to Di Canio in detail, he was not afraid of this tactic leaking out, because his tactics were nothing new, and he was confident that even if this tactic was known by others, there was no way to deal with him. Because...... If this set of tactics is successful, he will be invincible!

Di Canio listened to Chang Sheng's words and fell into deep thought.

If Chang Sheng didn't have anything to hide and deceive him, he really didn't have any place of his own in the set of tactics that Chang Sheng described.

Because the strategy of winning is very demanding on the ability to run, and running requires physical fitness.

Di Canio is well aware of his physical condition, and at the age of 37, he has not regressed significantly in his technique.

However, his physical fitness declined rapidly.

It's okay to run like this for one or two races. After three or four games, he was going to grit his teeth and persevere, and after five or six, six or seven games, he felt that he couldn't hold on.

But winning is all about consistency.

Nadi Canio certainly won't last a season.

Chang Sheng didn't lie to him, and he may not be able to get too many appearances in this set of tactics.

So do you have to accept the fate of playing as a substitute?

But I'm afraid...... It's not just a substitute, is it?

He felt that the goal of winning was probably not to let him play as a substitute...... Instead, let him leave the team, right?

Di Canio is not an idiot either, he thought about it carefully, and felt that Chang Sheng specially asked Lotito to interview him, and it was definitely not to ask him if he would play as a substitute. Maybe it's something else......

When Di Canio thought about it, he knew what the real purpose of winning was.

But when he understood the real purpose, he was left with a very difficult choice.

Lazio did not have his place, he had to leave Lazio.

But if he left Lazio, what did he do when he came back?

He terminated his contract with Charlton and preferred to reduce his salary to meet the salary standard demanded by Lotito, why?

Isn't it because he likes Lazio?

As the first team he debuted with, no one can question his feelings for Lazio.

When Chang Sheng came to the team, the rebellious player thought that Chang Sheng should be able to lead Lazio out of the quagmire.

He looks forward to contributing to the revival of Lazio.

But now it seems that Lazio's revival does not need his contribution......

The reality of a Lazio die-hard who had left everything in England and rushed back to Italy was hard for him to accept.

Because he thought the team would need him, but in fact the team told him: "We don't really need you......"

Is there anything more painful than this?

This is tantamount to breaking the heart of an old loyal minister.

Chang Sheng looked at Di Canio, who was sitting across from him.

In the corner of this café, he and Di Canio sat face to face at a table.

He looked at Di Canio, the thirty-seven-year-old veteran with his head bowed and his lips pursed.

He believed that Di Canio had understood what he meant, so he fell into the long test, which is why the expression on his face was so painful.

Chang Sheng didn't say anything, looking at the man who bowed his head.

He knew that the decision was difficult to make, and he knew that the fact was cruel.

When he thinks about it, he also feels that he is too cruel.

Players who have given so much for the team, but they are about to be abandoned when the team is reborn......

It's like a veteran who died at the dawn of victory.

Everybody's going to be dumbfounded, right?

He even thought that DiCanio would stand up and yell at him, "Why are you?!" "He won't be surprised.

But no, Di Canio was silent.

He knows what Di Canio is, a very controversial player, a rebellious personality and definitely not a good-natured player.

But if Di Canio really wants to punch himself, Chang Sheng doesn't know if he will fight back.

If Di Canio were to punch him, he would agree to leave, and Chang Sheng felt that he might not fight back......

Chang Sheng didn't speak, just waited, waiting to make the most difficult choice in his life for a middle-aged man.

After a long time, Di Canio raised his head again, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Is it better for Lazio to leave me?" (To be continued) wonderful novel [net] remember our website:
