Melo's impressive performance in the Copa America was unexpected. After all, Chang Sheng's perception of the previous Melo was that he did not participate in the 2007 Copa America. He was selected for the Brazilian national team after moving to Fiorentina in 2008, both in 2009.

But gold always shines.

That's why Melo did really well in his first international tournament.

Especially in Dunga's tactics, he is like a fish in water.

Dunga plays defensive counter-attack, Chang Win plays offensive football, two completely different tactics, why did Melo perform so well?

Quite simply, whether it is Dunga's defensive counter-attack or the ever-winning attacking football, the defense accounts for a large proportion and is at the heart of the tactics.

Defense needs defense, this is nonsense, offense needs defense more.

So no matter what set of tactics it is, Melo can mix it up well.

His outstanding performance in the Brazilian national team immediately attracted the attention of more giants.

And this time it's no longer just about rumors.

These giants have real actions!

Juventus are feeling the pressure.

If they don't do it again, maybe Merlot will be snatched away, and as for what Chang Sheng said, Merlot is not for sale...... He's literally farting! Everyone knows that Chang Sheng's subordinates do not have non-sale products, and the so-called non-sale products are just that the price is not suitable and too low......

※※※

Juventus finally couldn't sit still.

They offered 20 million euros to Chang Sheng for Melo.

When Chang Sheng saw this price, he sneered.

Recently, the media has said that if you don't have 30 million, don't want to take Merlot away, you 20 million are embarrassed to come out?

20 million is the value before the Copa America, and after the Copa America, Merlot starts at 30 million!

Chang Sheng returned another "not for sale" and rejected Juventus.

He didn't believe that Juventus would run out of money, Juventus had a lot of money. So when you kill someone, don't be soft-hearted at all.

He was in no hurry.

Anyway, the Copa America final hasn't started yet.

He could have waited until the final was over to discuss Melo with Juventus.

He could afford to wait.

※※※

He can afford to wait, Juventus can't afford to wait.

Another 22 million euros for Merlot.

Chang Sheng knew that Juventus really wanted Melo, and by this time, he felt that it was almost the same. If you put on the posture of "not for sale", you will not be doing business sincerely.

So this time he returned a price of 40 million euros!

It's an offer that can scare away the vast majority of clubs, but Juventus won't.

Because they are now desperate to replenish their strength. Watching Melo for more than a month has convinced them that Melo is a good player, of course, Melo is a good player, but it is not necessarily a good player for Juventus......

Since they insist that Melo is the key player that their club needs, 40 million will naturally not scare them away.

Although it will surprise them a little, it will not turn around and leave as soon as they hear the offer.

And most importantly, this price is only 10 million euros higher than the rumored 30 million worth of the outside world, which is still a conscience price.

From this offer, there should be something else that the Juventus heartfelt should be able to tell.

That is, Merlot is not a non-sale as Chang Sheng said.

As long as you can buy it. As for the price...... Say!

※※※

After seeing this offer, Juventus and Lazio are no longer playing a game of bargaining.

Blanco made a direct call to Chang Sheng.

"Let's open the skylight and say something, always. Everyone understands people. ”

Chang Sheng pretended to be confused: "I don't understand what you're talking about, Mr. Blanco. ”

Blanco could only be speechless about the shameless victory.

He decided not to go around in circles with Chang Sheng, but to get straight to the point.

"I'll be blunt, Chang. We need Merlot and you can make an offer, as long as the conditions are right. We can all talk. ”

Chang Sheng is happy in his heart, what he wants is your words!

But he coughed: "Merlot is ......"

Blanco was speechless: "Okay, Chang." We all know what you mean by that. Don't tell me that. It's okay to deceive Lazio fans. I'm serious about talking to you about Merlot's future. ”

Chang Sheng coughed: "Okay, then I won't go around in circles." My condition is simple, 40 million euros. ”

Blanco felt a bruise pop out of his forehead.

However, he still knows that negotiation is actually a sky-high price, sitting on the ground to pay back, as long as there is sincerity, the other party can negotiate any price.

He was convinced that Lazio would not be able to keep Melo.

That's why he came to call Chang Sheng.

So Blanco didn't take the words of constant victory to heart. Instead, he continued: "Forty million is impossible. We need to come to an agreement. We can give twenty-five million. ”

Chang Sheng refused without hesitation: "This can't be, a member of the Copa America winning team can't be worth so much money." ”

"But the Copa America final hasn't been played yet......

"I have confidence in my players, Brazil can beat Argentina and win the title!"

Blanco is not here to discuss with Chang Sheng who will win the Copa America between Brazil and Argentina. He put the conversation back on track.

"Okay. Can you make an offer...... Don't talk about 40 million or something. ”

Chang Sheng grinned silently: "Thirty million, plus Chiellini." ”

There was no sound from Blanco's side.

Winning is not bad, and he knows that Blanco needs time to think about whether this is the right condition.

Previously, he said that the focus of Lazio's transfer work this summer is how to sell Melo at a high price.

That's true, but it's not Lazio's real goal.

The real goal is known only to him in the whole club.

The real target is Chiellini.

Giorgio Chiellini was the main central defender of the Italian national team and Juventus.

Of course, he still looks immature at centre-back right now, or ...... It can't be described as immature.

In the second division, almost all of Juventus' centre-backs were killed last season.

Baumsson has been injured, and Lerotalie has also been injured.

Juventus simply have no one available at the back.

As a result, Chiellini, who was originally left behind because of his status as the main left-back, was pushed to the central defender position by the then head coach Didier Deschamps.

Because he was the right height at that time.

As a result, the young man, who had never played as a centre-back, was thrown off the shelf. it head-on in this unfamiliar position.

The results can be imagined.

Chiellini was booed by Juventus fans for almost every game in this position. Because his performance was so bad, all kinds of mistakes, all kinds of leaks.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponents were all second-division teams, which were too weak, I'm afraid the fans would have rebelled long ago.

What Chang Sheng knows about Chiellini.

Later, after the promotion, Juventus brought in Czech international centre-back Grigra from Ajax. and the introduction of Portugal international central defender Andrade from Deportivo La Coruna, who was expected to use them to play central defenders, Grigra and Andrade at that time were the main central defenders of their respective national teams, and their strength was outstanding.

It can be seen that Juventus is not at ease with Chiellini, a player who has helped the team promote in the second division.

As a result, he didn't expect that after just playing four games for Juventus, the Portuguese was injured and directly missed the whole season.

As a last resort, Chiellini was pulled out again to play at centre-back.

But the performance is still bad. During the winter break, there was news that Juventus were going to sell Chiellini.

To this end, Juventus also brought in central defender Stendaldo on loan from Lazio.

There are so many introductions in the centre-back position. This shows Juventus' attitude towards Chiellini.

Therefore, Chang Sheng is very aware of Juventus's attitude, so he knows that Juventus will not stop Chiellini's departure.

In fact, Juventus in the second division already feel that Chiellini is not as talented as they thought.

It was terrible to play at centre-back.

Blanco has no resistance to Cchiellini by name, but as a veteran negotiator, he habitually wants to keep prices down.

So he frowned. Sigh: "No, Chiellini is our main centre-back......"

Chang Sheng ridiculed: "The main central defender who was booed by his own team in every game last season? ”

Blanco stopped talking. He really doesn't have much vision and ability to judge whether a player is good or not.

But he also has a lot of basic things. He watched every game played at Juventus last season and Chiellini was really bad at centre-back.

The media criticized every day, and the fans booed every day.

Coach Didier Deschamps also privately told Blanco that if it weren't for the fact that there was no one available at centre-back, he would not have let Chiellini play......

"Twenty-five million plus one Chiellini." Blanco counter-offered.

"Chiellini is not worth so much money. Mr. Blanco. Chang Sheng smiled.

※※※

In the end, the two men haggled and Lazio and Juventus finally reached an agreement on Melo.

Melo moved from Lazio to Juventus for 28 million euros plus a Chiellini.

Chang Sheng got the player of his dreams, and he also got a lot of money.

It doesn't get much better than this.

As for Chiellini, Chang Sheng is not worried at all.

In the plane he knew. Chiellini is a world-class centre-back who has been blasted by a variety of strikers.

If there are too many mistakes, it will naturally mature.

But in Lazio he doesn't have to go through that process.

Because Changsheng has training skills.

Starting next season, Chang Sheng will use the skill "This is how genius is made" to Chiellini.

In addition, he should also use all kinds of special training to improve his defensive ability.

Although Chiellini is still lacking in ability, at least his psychological quality is good.

Booed by Juventus fans, many may not even dare to set foot on the pitch. Like Real Madrid's young left-back Drenthe.

But Chiellini not only insisted on playing again and again, but also insisted on being abused as a first-class central defender!

With such psychological qualities, Chang Sheng felt that Chiellini had a great future, whether it was in this time and space, or in that time and space.
