Chapter 16: One Hundred and Seventy Million!

If someone thinks that Chang Sheng will be over after slapping his face, and they can continue to come out and be arrogant as long as they wait for the limelight to pass, then they are very wrong.

Chang Sheng is the kind of person who slaps you in the face and makes a special trip to call you over to ask if the fight is cool......

He's going to hold a press conference.

Actually, this is also a tradition.

Every year Lazio holds a press conference to announce the signing of new players.

But this year will be something special......

※※※

While Lazio FC continues to announce contract renewals, Lazio has not stopped selling players and bringing in reinforcements.

Negotiations on the introduction of Candreva have also come to fruition.

Lazio will spend a year on loan at Candreva and will have a right of first refusal at the end of the loan period for €1.5 million.

After entering August, Manchester City Club underwent a huge change, the original owner, Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, finally abandoned Manchester City Club due to political problems, and then the consortium of Abu Dhabi, the largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates, came forward to take over Manchester City Club.

The loss of a financier ushered in an even bigger financier. Manchester City FC is destined to soar!

Manchester City, who have received a huge injection of money, have a lot of money, and they have already been a month behind other teams in terms of preparation time, but it doesn't matter, they have money. Is it said that money can't buy time?

In the transfer market, move fast and time is saved.

But how fast can the action be?

Don't bargain, just use the money to smash the opponent down, and the player will naturally come over.

The Abu Dhabi consortium, which has just entered football, does not know much about the rules on the football side, and they enter as a kind of rule-breaker.

But Chang Sheng just likes this kind of Kaizi!

As soon as Manchester City changed hands, he recommended Inle and Kolarov to Manchester City FC.

Manchester City FC are also very happy with the two men recommended by Chang Sheng.

Inler is the main midfielder of the Champions League-winning team, while Kolarov is not the main one. But there were also a lot of appearances and good performances.

He scored one goal and three assists in last season's Champions League. For a non-main full-back, that's a remarkable achievement.

So Manchester City spent 22 million to buy Inle and 8.5 million to get Kolarov.

It's a pity that Kolarov is a pity, because in history, Kolarov went from Lazio to Manchester City for 12 million euros. However, at that time he was Lazio's main left-back. And now because of the existence of Barzaretti, Kolarov has no chance to be the main force, so naturally he can't sell it for 10 million euros.

That's the only regret.

Overall, though. Lazio have been very successful in this transfer market this summer.

In the transfer market, Lazio made 170 million euros this summer!

This transfer fee income is the highest in Europe!

You won't find a second club in Europe that can attract as much money as Lazio.

At first, when Lazio said that he wanted to sell people to pay off his debts, everyone didn't pay much attention to it.

Even the staff at the Lazio club are not convinced that a single summer of winning will pay off Lazio's debts.

But when the numbers came out, everyone was taken aback!

170000000!

This long list of zeros alone dazzled everyone.

Are we really making so much money selling players?

The answer is yes.

So many transfer deals for Lazio. Installments are not accepted, players are not allowed to cash up, cash only, and it is paid in a lump sum.

At Lazio's insistence, they really have so much cash on their accounts now!

Lotito can now pay off the debt in one lump sum, leaving 70 million of this money, plus the 20 million liquidity that the club has been holding before. The Lazio club is now very rich in cash, as much as 90 million, nearly 100 million!

The money doesn't include the cost of buying players, but it's still accurate.

Because in terms of buying players. Chang Sheng continued his usual slamming characteristic.

So far this season, Lazio have brought in nine players, and the intensity of the recruitment is unprecedented. Second only to the 2006-2007 season.

How much did these nine players cost Lazio?

One million and four hundred thousand!

It's not the average price, it's the total price!

Nine players. One million and four hundred thousand!

The average player is less than 160,000 euros!

This degree of slamming is second only to Lotito.

In his first season at Lazio, in 2004-2005, Lotito helped bring in thirteen players, and as a result, Lotito spent less than 100,000 euros on average!

However, the advantage of Lotito is that only two of Lotito's thirteen players are actually buyouts, two players are returning from loan, two players are co-players, and seven players are on loan.

Of the nine players Changsheng brought in this time, three players returned on loan, one player came on loan, and as many as five were bought out.

Leonardo Bonucci is an addition to Campagnaro's transfer and does not cost a penny. Mirante was an addition to Stendaldo, and he didn't spend a penny. Motta is free to transfer, and only Gotze and Giroud have spent money. Gotze's 800,000 compensation is because Dortmund cares about Gotze very much. Giroud is only 600,000.

Edinson Cavani is back on loan, Cesar Azpilicueta is back on loan and Coentrão is back on loan.

Plus a loan-out Candreva.

That's all Lazio have made this summer.

The expenditure of 1.4 million yuan is really not worth mentioning compared to the income of 90 million.

As a result, Lazio had the money to sign new contracts for their players and raised the salary limit from two million to three million.

But when all the transfer fees were calculated, Lotito was still stunned!

170 million!

He was original

I thought that 140 million would really have to be repaid for 23 years, but I didn't expect it...... Earned 170 million in one summer!

This is crazy!

He never imagined that a football club could make so much money......

※※※

After selling Kolarov to Manchester City, Everwin can finally shut down the transfer market completely.

He doesn't need any new reinforcements anymore.

Lazio FC will also hold a press conference to show off their recruitment.

In addition, there is one more thing to announce.

However, unlike in the past, this time Lazio's press conference was not held in the original press conference hall. Instead, it was put into ...... On the turf of the Olympic Stadium!

While the reporters were staring at the scorching sun and waiting on the edge of the training ground, they were still complaining and did not understand that Lazio was so good that they would put their press conference in such a place. Isn't it possible in an air-conditioned press room?

But they soon learned why Lazio didn't keep their press conference indoors.

They were joined by tens of thousands of Lazio fans who waited in the scorching sun.

They didn't keep complaining about being too hot like squeamish journalists.

They kept singing in the stands.

Although there is a lack of "unteachables", the atmosphere is not as fanatical as before. But it's still lively.

They're not really here to welcome new players, they're here to show their support for the club and the team.

Compared to the unknown new signings, they are more concerned about how many players Lazio eventually kept through contract extensions.

These are the cornerstones of Lazio's revival!

※※※

There were no chairs, no tables, on the turf of the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Everyone was standing. The presenters stood, the reporters stood, Lotito and Chang Sheng also stood, the fans had seats, but no one sat either. They were all standing.

Everything continues the door-picking nature of Lotito.

Then Lotito took the microphone and started today's press conference.

"Two things, first. We officially announce that Lazio FC has paid off all its debts! ”

As soon as Lotito's words came out, they caused ...... in the audience No, there is nothing on or off stage...... It caused the surprise of a group of reporters opposite.

The fans in the stands were also surprised.

Lazio still owes 100 million foreign debts before, how can it be paid off in this summer?

Could it be that the money they used to pay off their debts was conjured?

Lotito saw the surprised expressions of these journalists, and he laughed: "Of course. It only took us one summer to pay off the remaining 100 million euros in debt! This is all thanks to working in the transfer market! ”

The reporters all turned their attention to Chang Sheng next to him.

Chang Sheng's face was expressionless.

Lotito did not disclose exactly how much money they made in the transfer market.

But those who are interested in the reporter Zhong will definitely be able to deduce it. Although many transfer fees are not disclosed in the transfer transactions between clubs and clubs, the media can guess every time.

When they found out that Lazio had taken 170 million euros in just over a month. I really don't know what kind of expression and mood it will be......

"Lazio is no longer a club with a lot of debt, no longer a club that could go bankrupt at any moment. On the contrary, we are the financially healthiest club in all Serie A! "When I said this. Lotito is particularly proud.

How many clubs in Serie A dare to claim to be financially healthy? Apart from his Lazio, there is only one Udinese. But Udinese's maximum salary limit is half a million euros. And it's good that Udinese can participate in European competitions every year, and they don't want to win the league title, the Champions League, and all kinds of titles like Lazio.

Journalists were still shocked, and fans in the stands cheered.

Some people are still hugging as if they won the championship.

Ever since the bankruptcy of the Chirio company in Cragnoti, these Lazio fans have been worried day and night, waking up to find that their beloved club has gone bankrupt, that all the players have run away, that the club has sold everything that can be sold, and that it has died. You can only re-register with a new Lazio club and start over......

Just like Florence and Naples......

They don't want Lazio to end up like this.

In order to save Lazio, they did everything they could, and when Lazio was unable to register in the first division because of six million pounds, they went to a sit-in every day in front of Banco Captalia, Lazio's largest shareholder. Hopefully, a miracle can happen.

After Lotito took over Lazio, Lazio still faced the threat of huge debts, and they also took to the streets to put pressure on the government.

What did they put so much effort in?

Isn't it just to be able to get Lazio out of this damn state one day?

Right now...... They finally got their wish!

140 million euros of debt, paid off!

※※※

The fans thundered with cheers, and their cheers attracted the attention of journalists. Everyone turned back to look at the stands.

It has become a sea of joy, and the crowd is surging with excitement......

Lotito and Tsuneki looked at the excited crowd in the stands and smiled at each other.

Today, it's a new lease for Lazio FC!

ps, this chapter is dedicated to the national football team in the East Asian Cup.

Tiger Pounce has a special saying**: No matter how many teams you are, I am the Chinese team!

In this East Asian Cup, the Chinese team played what I wanted to see, that is, what Gao Hongbo insisted on at the beginning.

I believe that if we stick to this line of thinking, there is still hope for the national football team.

Even if it's just to win a few games, it can make me happy as a Chinese fan
