Chapter 186: Quote
When Chang Sheng saw Pacheco's article in the Milan Sports Newspaper, he couldn't help but laugh out loud at the dinner table.
Avril, who was busy in front of the stove, turned around and asked him strangely, "Is there any good news, uncle?" β
Chang Sheng smiled: "Someone helped us advertise for free, of course it's good news." β
"That Pacheco?"
"Well, that's him."
"What did he say again?"
He's telling teams interested in Falcao to hurry up and pay a big price. Do you say it's free advertising? β
Avril laughed too: "He's stupid!" β
"That's right, he's stupid!"

"Idiot" Pacheco put on a brilliant ad for Lazio.
Two days later, Lazio received a second offer, which belonged to Juventus.
Juventus are at the top of the hierarchy and now enjoy doing business with Lazio, and in the past, Nemelo and Lichtsteiner have done well since they arrived. Let the Juventus club hierarchy think that Lazio's players are of excellent quality.
Now seeing that Falcao's contract renewal with Lazio has failed, they feel it's time to come out and poach.
Juventus drove 35 million euros.
However, their offer was also rejected by Chang Sheng, and it was immediately reported in the media.
If someone were to follow the media every day about Falcao's transfer, he would feel as if he was watching a live broadcast.
What happens between the major clubs is immediately reported in the media. The online media, in particular, played a very important role in this incident.
They are the most responsive media.
If there's anything going on, they'll be able to report it right away. There is no need to go through the procedures of typesetting, review, production, and printing like traditional media.

Chelsea and Juventus have made offers one after another, making Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two La Liga giants, finally unable to sit still.
If you don't make a move. I'm afraid Falcao is about to be snatched away!
Milan Sport is right when it comes to saying that it would be in vain to stop the transfer. As long as they can impress Lotito...... There is no shortage of money, Real Madrid is not lacking, and Barcelona is not lacking now that they are relieving.

Round 27 of the league. Lazio beat Livorno 2-0 at home.
Karim Benzema and Falcao scored one goal each.
Real Madrid then entered the fray. They offered Lazio 40 million for Falcao!
When this offer was made public, everyone and everyone's friends were stunned!
Forty million!
It's not the beginning of the century, and everyone is used to it when all kinds of sky-high transfer fees are emerging.
Now that the European economy is in a recession, a number of media outlets have gone bankrupt, and clubs have tightened their monetary policies. The transfer fee of more than 40 million is already sky-high. One appearance is enough to become the transfer market champion of the year!
When 40 million appeared, some people began to reflect on whether this frenzied "Falcao fever" was normal.
Is such a player, who has only played less than two seasons in the Europa League, really worth 40 million euros?

On March 15, in the 28th round of the league, Lazio challenged Udinese away.
Before this game. Chang Sheng's advice to the whole team is one thing: Falcao is an attacking arrowhead, and he passes the ball to him at the end of the day, so that he can shoot and score.
With the crazy assistance of his teammates, Falcao also hit the goal wildly, and he finally scored four yuan in this game and staged a big four!
After the game, the newspaper "Milan Sport" exclaimed: "It is simply stupid to question whether Falcao is worth 40 million!" Is Falcao worth it? Value! Value! He's nowhere more than 40 million! Twenty-five goals have been scored in 28 league rounds, and by the time the league is over. How many more goals can he score? β
Holding this newspaper, Chang Sheng smiled forward and back.
God teammate, this is true!

Just when everyone was exclaiming that Falcao was crazy, and Real Madrid was crazy. Chang Sheng followed to show people what it means to be crazy - he rejected Real Madrid's offer of 40 million!
After the report of "Milan Sport", everyone has already realized that Falcao will definitely not be able to stay at Lazio. Especially now, the better he is doing. The less likely he is to stay in Lazio.
Lazio should have recognized this reality. The best outcome would be to sell Falcao to raise money for the club to pay off its debts.
Four thousand is already a very good price.
Why did Chang Sheng still refuse?
He must be crazy!
Just when there was a lot of talk outside. Lotito's call also went to Chang Sheng's mobile phone.
"Chang, forty million! You've turned down a transfer deal worth $40 million! β
Lotito wailed on the phone.
Chang Sheng knew that his chairman was in pain.
"Don't worry, Mr. President. Forty million to buy our top shooter? Then they underestimate us too much! β
"Isn't 40 million enough?" Lotito stopped howling because he realized that Falcao might be able to sell for more money......
"Not enough, not enough, far from it
This! Chang Sheng thought of Barcelona that Falcao's agent, Mosio, had mentioned to him.
Barcelona was one of the most active clubs at the time, but why were they silent in the midst of this wave of offers?
Will Barcelona give up Falcao?
With Falcao's current performance, I'm afraid it's impossible.
Their opponents, Real Madrid, have all made an offer, and it is the highest offer so far, beating all other rivals in seconds.
How could Barcelona be indifferent?
Isn't he afraid that such a good scorer as Falcao will be robbed by Real Madrid? This is tantamount to weakening his own strength in disguise.
Waiting for a long time to win, he is convinced that Barcelona will definitely come out and join the race.
At this time, Messi has not yet reached the point where he will be so rebellious in the future, allowing excellent center forwards like Eto'o, Ibrahimovic and Villa to leave the Camp Nou one after another.
Falcao still has the value of going.

After Chang Sheng rejected Real Madrid's offer, everyone's offer for Falcao calmed down for the time being.
But this time is different from the last time, and this time the calm is just brewing a bigger storm.
Round 29, Rome City Derby.
It's a race that gets the world watching. Naturally, it is also a good opportunity to advertise and promote your players.
In this game, Falcao once again took on the burden of attacking.
Agent Mosio has also repeatedly instilled in Falcao during this time that only if he performs well can he go to a bigger team and get a bigger contract.
As a result, Falcao's performance was also very positive.
For his own future, he also fights!
Today's Falcao is truly like a tiger descending from a mountain!
In the match against Roma, he scored twice with an overhead kick to help Lazio beat city rivals Roma 3-1 at home.
After coming to Lazio from the regular win, Roma have not won another Lazio in either the league or the Italian Super Cup. It was completely suppressed by the sworn enemy of the same city.
It's a really unpleasant taste.
Every time Lazio and Roma have a local derby, mocking the AS Roma club for letting go of the usual wins, it is a repertoire.
But this time, everyone's mind was not on laughing at Rome.
Instead, continue to focus on Falcao's whereabouts.
There are a lot of various transfer offers about Falcao in the media right now, judging by this stance. Lazio certainly can't keep Falcao.
However, Chang Sheng still strongly rejected all offers for Falcao.
What did he think?
The media wanted to interview Lotito, but Lotito hid from reporters, so the only one who could speak for Lazio now was Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng said rejection, that is rejection.
Not negotiable.

The day after the match, the Madrid media broke the news that Falcao's agent, Claudio . Mosio appeared in Madrid.
It seems that he has gone to meet with the top management of Real Madrid.
Falcao's father, who was immediately after, also stood up and spoke: "I'm thrilled with Real Madrid's offer to my son, if my son can join such a great team, then I die without regrets!" β
Family cards are used. It seems that Falcao is really going to Real Madrid this time.
CalderΓ³n, the president of Real Madrid, also looked proud: "Falcao is a good centre-forward, he is the guy we were looking for!" β
In the league, Real Madrid comprehensively suppressed Barcelona and left Barcelona farther and farther away.
In the transfer market. They are also going to snatch Falcao. As a result, Real Madrid will continue to dominate La Liga next season and will be looking to break through the last 16 of the Champions League.
Even Real Madrid fans are starting to look forward to Falcao's arrival.
The newspaper Marca also conducted an investigation. "Do you welcome Falcao to Real Madrid?"
As many as 57 percent of Real Madrid fans chose the 'Welcome' option.
Bookmakers like William Hill are looking forward to Falcao next season, and Real Madrid's odds are also more favorable.
At a time when all indications are that Real Madrid will succeed in snatching Falcao from Lazio. Barcelona finally couldn't sit still.

When Chang Sheng received a fax from FC Barcelona to offer Lazio 30 million euros plus Eto'o to buy Falcao.
Chang Sheng smiled.
Barcelona finally couldn't bear it anymore under a series of arrangements of their own.
Mosio went to Madrid to meet the Real Madrid club hierarchy at his own behest.
The aim is to accelerate the emergence of Barcelona.
Now look, the purpose has been achieved.
Of course, this offer is always winning is not satisfied.
Samuel Eto'o is good, but he is unlikely to accept a maximum salary of two million euros a year.
So Lazio couldn't sign Samuel Eto'o.
And compared to the player-plus-cash trading model, Changsheng also prefers the all-cash model.
So he went back to Barcelona for a price of 65 million euros, in full, to be paid in one lump sum.
If you can do it, take Falcao with you.
