Chapter Eighty-Nine: To be a hero in troubled times
Chang Sheng pays so much attention to the phone door, in addition to watching the excitement, he naturally has his intentions.
The blow to Italian football was heavy, if not devastating. Italian football, which was originally able to maintain a place in European football, completely collapsed after passing through the phone gate, and did not slow down until the perennial victory.
Domestic football is becoming sluggish, and Serie A attendance is declining. The clubs are struggling to make ends meet. Even giants like AC Milan have begun to shrink their money to live, and Inter Milan has begun to be reluctant to make progress after winning the treble, and it has been seriously affected by the economic crisis. Juventus were so badly injured that it wasn't until the 2011-2012 season that Juventus won the league title with an unbeaten record, and their return was officially announced.
But the overall decline of Serie A is already an irreversible reality.
In the league's European standings, they were overtaken by the Bundesliga and finished last in Europe's top four leagues, and their Champions League place was reduced by one.
Although the Italian national team won the World Cup in Germany in 2006 with excellent overall results, the Italian national team has been worse year by year, and in the 2012 European Championship final, it was humiliated by Spain with four goals.
For those who love Italian football, these years have been a disaster with no end in sight.
But for the perpetual speculator, this may be the perfect time for him to rise with Lazio.
A "phone gate" almost wiped out the traditional strong team.
Only Inter Milan survived.
But now that Lazio has survived, it is natural for Chang Sheng to make the most of the impact and effect of the phone door.
He can't let Inter Milan go ahead, he must seize this opportunity.
Just like fortune, a country has its own national fortune, a team, a club also has its own fortune.
In that alternate plane. Mancini's Inter Milan has such fortune, so Inter Milan can win so many titles in Mancini's hands.
Now, he is here, and he is going to rob the fortune that belongs to Inter Milan!
After the phonegate, there was the troubled times of Italian football.
He and Lazio are about to rise from the troubled times, just like Cao Cao to become the heroes of the troubled times!
※※※
If you want to profit from the troubled times, in addition to the championship, there is another way that is very important.
That's ...... Transfer.
Before the callgate scandal came to light, it was impossible for Chang Sheng to make a big profit in the transfer market. Because at that time, Italian football was basically controlled by the Moggi GEA company.
The vast majority of players are controlled by them, where can a player go. Where you can't go, they have the final say. If you don't agree with their arrangement, then wait to be banned.
At a time when GEA was in full swing. Competing with GEA is tantamount to extracting teeth from the mouth of a tiger, not to mention the great difficulty, and you may also face the danger of personal injury.
A call-gate investigation has torn GEA apart, and the company's players and managers have fled the company. Let Chang Sheng have the possibility of fishing in troubled waters.
The players who were trained in the previous season are also time to harvest.
Many players will leave Lazio in exchange for transfer funds for the club, so as to realize the grand plan of monopolizing the Serie A transfer market and making money by buying and selling players.
If it weren't for the phonegate, his plan would not have been possible at all.
Because none of them are ripe. If you want to continue to improve yourself, the team with big ambitions will just enter the maturity period. They sold their players aggressively.
To do so is to shake the fundamentals. After a season, the team that worked hard to run in was dismantled, and then continued to buy a bunch of new people to run in the new season, which is against the objective law of football development and is reversing history. Put back the clock.
To put it simply: a team that sells the main force and the captain every year. It doesn't look like a team that can win championships.
The phonegate provides the feasibility for Changsheng to do so.
After the phonegate, the entire Serie A order was disrupted and it was in the process of being rebuilt.
At this time, many teams have no time to take care of other things, and even if Lazio has a big change, it will not be affected and impacted much. It's another chance to rebuild the team.
Such an opportunity is only available in the first season after the call.
Wait another season, AC Milan led by Kaka at the peak, and Mancini and Inter Milan at maturity will be enough to make Lazio suffer in the run-in period.
If you don't complete the big change this summer and lay the foundation for the next few seasons. There will never be such a good opportunity again.
Some people think that Serie A football behind the phone gate has lost its competitiveness, but in the eyes of Chang Sheng, this is precisely the best place. Because everything here has been torn down and rebuilt, in troubled times, people like themselves are more likely to get ahead than in peaceful times. It is very difficult to go to a place where the order of the Premier League has been very firmly established, and it is difficult to break the monopoly of the giants.
Serie A behind the phone door is equivalent to a virgin land that has been reclaimed after being re-abandoned.
The opportunities are endless.

Juventus were the first target of the ever-winning campaign.
Although the phone door is still under investigation, Chang Sheng is already planning to act. He knows exactly what kind of punishment Juventus will face next.
Don't look at the fact that many players are now stating that they will go forward and retreat with Juventus.
But in fact, when Juventus confirmed their relegation, they would not have said so.
Some people left Juventus on their own initiative, while others were sold by Juventus on their own initiative in order to get rid of their baggage.
The players who voluntarily left Juventus were represented by Emerson, Cannavaro and Ibrahimovic.
These players don't want to win all the time. Because their wages were too high, it was impossible for Lazio to meet their demands. They also look down on Lazio, and they don't worry about where to go.
Cannavaro and Emerson will join Fabio Capello on a trip to Real Madrid, while Ibrahimovic will go to Inter Milan, where he has grown into a generation of footballers.
The focus is on players who are unable to get a chance at Juventus, frustrated and looking for a change of scenery.
For example, Barzaretti at Juventus.
Barzaretti is a Turin player whose career changed when Truin loaned him from Turin to Getafe. Because of his excellent performances at Getafe, he quickly hit the main team when he returned to Turin.
Even if Turin was demoted to the second level, he did not leave, but became the hero of Turin's promotion.
In the last four months of the season, he continued to play with an injury.
He was already planning to sign a lifetime contract with Turin.
But just after Torino were promoted to the first division, the club went bankrupt.
Turin, bankrupt, was kicked out of the first division.
Even so, he did not give up the idea of staying in Turin.
He rejected offers from other clubs and opted to stay in Turin.
He had been waiting for Torino to offer him a new contract throughout August, even if it was to play in the third division.
But he didn't wait for a contract in Turin.
He went to the transfer market.
At that time. Lazio, who have been winning for a long time, have ended their transfer moves. So Chang Sheng can only watch Juventus get this full-back who can play both offensively and defensively.
At Juventus, Barzaretti was a substitute and had a lot of appearances. But time is running out.
Twenty appearances at Juventus last season, mostly as a last-minute substitute.
After Juventus' relegation, Barzaretti actually got a chance instead. Because of the exodus of a large number of players, it has given him the opportunity to play as a substitute player. And he also managed to rise to the top at Juventus, helping the team to return to the first division. I didn't expect to just return to the First Division. Juventus put Barzaretti up for sale.
In fact, Changsheng can wait until that time to sell.
But Chang Sheng can't wait.
Juventus will give Barzaretti a chance, but they will also give Barzaretti a chance. Going to the second division or the first division, this is not a question for Barzaretti, he will only choose his home city.
Without his experience with Getafe and his time, it would have been almost impossible for the current Changsheng to get Barzaretti at this time.
Now, it's a lot easier.
All Wins needed was a phone call to Barzaretti.
As for Juventus?
Chang Sheng believes that Juventus will be willing to trade Barzaretti for half of Marchisio's ownership......
Marchisio was bought from Juventus last season. At that time, only half of the ownership was bought, and the player belonged to himself.
But in Lazio there are too many good midfielders. Marchisio didn't have many chances. In addition, Marchisio belongs to the kind of hardcore loyal servants of Juventus, and now that Juventus is in this catastrophe, Marchisio will definitely return to King Qin. Although Marchisio has not yet expressed his position, Chang Sheng believes that Marchisio will definitely call him.
Even if Chang Sheng knew about Marchisio's future achievements, he couldn't keep the other party. So he can only trade Marchisio in exchange for a part of the transfer fee and Barzaretti.
※※※
Liverani and Gianni Keda have been identified. They left the club at the end of the season and their contract with the club expires on June 30. As for where they were going, Chang Sheng didn't care.
Liverani is gone, Gianni Keda is gone. Inle and Ledesma on top.
Marchisio is gone, and he still needs a midfielder.
His target is Nocerino, a midfielder who plays for Crotone in the second division.
Nocerino, who made his debut in Juventus' youth team, went on to become an Italian international, and both Juventus and AC Milan performed well.
Such potential stocks are still living in obscurity in the second division.
No one knows the hidden light in him.
But Chang Sheng knows.
Lazio's rival is Piacenza.
But a UEFA Cup winner, Serie A runners-up and a second division team competing for players are no surprise.
Nocerino would definitely have chosen Lazio.
