Chapter 151: Two Brazilians
Giorgio Chiellini is Chang Sheng's biggest transfer target this summer, but he has no other targets.
Because his roster is already mature, he doesn't need to think about selling people and buying people like he did for two seasons.
He's going to keep the squad stable.
Even if you want to sell people to make money, you are only selling individual players. Just like Merlot.
So in fact, Chang Sheng is not wrong to say that his team is not for sale, most of the players are indeed not for sale, and he does not plan to sell them.
It was at this time that Lazio began to enter a period of real development.
On the framework set up now, the future Lazio destined to dominate Europe has already taken shape. Up front, there are Falcao, Karim Benzema and David. Silva, Cazorla, and then Cavani. Roki can't play as a regular in the team, but as a veteran, he can make a difference in key moments.
Especially if your team needs to fight on multiple fronts, you must reserve enough players.
Although the midfield is gone, it will not have any impact on Lazio's strength.
Merlot's role can be filled by Khedira.
In fact, in the past two seasons, Chang Sheng has consciously let Khedira do Melo's thing.
Whether in training or in games, Khedira has to be a midfielder who can play both attack and defence.
After two seasons of running-in, Constant believes Khedira is ready.
In addition to Khedira, he also has Modric, Inle, Ledesma and Nocerino.
Luka Modric is a new era playmaker who can pass the ball and break through with the ball himself, as well as have a long-range shot and score well, in addition. I can defend too.
Inle and Ledesma are similar to him, they are the kind of midfielders who can play both offensively and defensively, and can organise attacks as well as defend. But in terms of ability, it is weaker than Modric.
Nocerino is a pure defender. It's a bit like Gattuso at AC Milan, of course, his ability is not as good as Gattuso, and he is much more youthful than the old and spicy Gattuso.
At the back, when Giorgio Chiellini arrived, he didn't play right away.
After all, Chang Sheng didn't want Chiellini to go up and be abused. Although Chiellini was abused in this way, since he had other options, there was no need to continue repeating history.
The main centre-back combination this season will be Jose. Passarella and Francisco. Pavon formed a Spanish defender combination.
In addition, he has Stendaldo and Campaggnaro.
At full-back, Kolarov needs to be brought in this season.
As a result, there are three left-back players: Barzaretti, Kolarov and Coentrão.
Coentrão was looking to send him out on loan, and he had some chances last season, but not enough. You have to have a stable chance to play in order to be able to grow.
As for who it is leased to...... Lazio's satellite club Getafe, of course.
Getafe is coached by Rafael Benitez and often wins believe in the manager's tactical level.
Secondly, you can also go to Azpilicueta for company.
At right-back, Lichtsteiner and Abate were the players.
The main goalkeeper is Handanovic, and the two substitute goalkeepers have been promoted from the youth team and the reserve team. However, they only have the opportunity to play in games such as the Coppa Italia, and they are usually unable to shake Handanovic's main position.
That's Lazio's current first-team squad.
There are not many people, but they are all elite soldiers.
※※※
Originally, Chang Sheng felt that he didn't have to buy and sell people, but people are not as good as heaven. Plans can't keep up with the changes.
Two days later, Blanco called again, this time to buy someone from Lazio.
'We want to get your right-back Lichtsteiner.'
Blanco was particularly sincere.
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment.
When he poached Lichtsteiner from Lille, he thought about making money by selling the Swiss international.
But he didn't expect to play for only a year. Lichtsteiner had a buyer.
Can Lichtsteiner sell?
Absolutely.
The problem is that after selling Lichtsteiner, he had to find a right-back. Abate is only twenty-one years old this year, and he is still too immature for a defender.
And if Lichtsteiner is sold. There's only one right-back. Azpilicueta is too young to be useful. So we still have to find a new right-back.
The key is who to buy?
After telling Blanco that he needs to think about it. Chang Sheng hung up the phone.
Then he leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling, looking at what he remembered as the right right-back.
Considering the particularity of Lazio's finances, although there are many good right-backs, in fact, there are not many that can be bought by Chang Sheng.
What Dennis. People like Alves, Chang Sheng can't afford it at all.
So it's really not easy to find a suitable Lazio and a suitable right-back from here.
After thinking about it, a name popped up in Chang Sheng's mind.
Iuliano. Belletti.
The Barcelona Dream II right-back's main right-back is facing a turning point this summer.
He started his European landing in Villarreal and, after two seasons of great performances, moved to Barcelona.
At Barcelona, he took the gap between the two seasons of league titles and a Champions League title with Barcelona.
And that's not what you get from soy sauce. The most memorable of the perennial wins was in the 2006 Champions League final, when Barcelona faced Arsenal with one more man, only to find themselves in a bitter battle.
As a result, in the second half, Belletti came on as a substitute for Oleg and scored a goal for Barcelona to win the game.
The scene of him lying on the turf with his hands on his face after the goal impressed Chang Sheng.
That goal completely knocked down Arsenal's morale, and finally Barcelona defeated Arsenal 3:1 and lifted the championship trophy, and the Dream II team was officially established.
But it's helping the team
After winning the Champions League, his career began to decline. With so many injuries, he played only thirteen games on and off at Barcelona last season.
Affected by injuries, he is no longer the man Barcelona needs. At right-back, Barcelona have Zambrotta.
Therefore, Belletti's departure is quite normal.
Now that summer has just begun, if you go to grab him yourself, you should be able to grab him before Chelsea.
After arriving at Chelsea, Belletti still guaranteed attendance for the first two seasons.
The normal win did not expect Belletti to play all the games of the season, but he took turns with Abate.
So don't worry about buying an injury number.
Of course, after the third season, Belletti will be a glass man again. At that point he basically won't recover until he retires. He's in a constant cycle of coming back from injury and getting injured again.
But now, he can also contribute to Lazio.
Chang Sheng is not a miracle doctor, and the plug-in system can't make a glass man turn into an iron man on the court.
But he can at least allow Belletti to win more titles in the final normal period of his career and have a second spring.
He feels that this is the greatest humanity for a professional footballer.
※※※
After the candidate is decided. Chang Sheng didn't call Blanco right away.
He had to be sure that Belletti would definitely come to Lazio before he would sell Lichtsteiner.
This man is very cautious.
So he called Lotito.
If you look for Barcelona to buy Belletti, you can leave it to the president of the club. He has a personal vendetta against Laporta. If he had come forward on his own, maybe Laporta would not have sold.
Belletti has an Italian passport, so he can join the Italian team without tying up non-EU players.
The next thing is to wait for news.
While waiting for the news, Chang Sheng thought of another person.
He felt that he could also buy it to supplement the strength of his team. By the way, keep it for later to make money.
This man has a lot of similarities with Belletti.
For example, they are all Brazilians......
Of course, the most important similarities are...... They all later became glass people.
That man is Thiago. Motta.
Motta received youth training at Barcelona in the early years, and can also be regarded as an excellent player produced by the "La Masia Academy".
In the early 21st seasons, he began to play gradually in the Barcelona first team.
As a talented midfielder. His future is optimistic by many.
But just as he was coming of age, injuries, the biggest enemy of professional footballers, came to him.
The 2003-2004 season was Motta's last season at Lazio. He made 20 appearances that season and scored one goal. Then he began an endless cycle of injuries.
Attendance has plummeted.
2004-2005 season. At the beginning of the new season, he suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee against Sevilla. I went back to Brazil to recuperate for almost a year and only came back to experience the last few games at the end of the season.
That season, he ended up playing eight games.
Injuries continued to plague him for the next two seasons.
No one could say why he was so easily injured.
The talented midfielder, who had high hopes at the beginning, sank again and again because of injuries, and was finally forgotten by everyone.
If Win is not mistaken, Motta will be completely abandoned by Barcelona this summer.
He went to Atletico Madrid. La Masia's star of hope only cost Atletico Madrid a million euros.
However, at Atletico Madrid he continued to be injured and played only six games in one season. The performance was miserable.
At the end of the season, Motta will be abandoned again.
This time he opted to join an Italian team. Because he has Italian roots.
It was a turning point in his career.
In the small team Genoa, he became a well-deserved centerpiece, and injuries were far from him. Plenty of playing time, coupled with excellent performances, caught Mourinho's eye.
After a season in Genoa, Motta moved to Inter Milan for 13 million euros.
In his first season at Inter Milan, he successfully played the role of the heart of the midfield, and together with Cambiaso, he vacated Inter's attacking sprint.
The versatile Motta became an integral part of Mourinho's tactics.
Together with Inter Milan, Motta put in an excellent performance and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
However, at Camp Nou, against his former club, Motta became the protagonist of a controversial decision.
He waved his hand backwards as he protected the ball and pushed the Barcelona player Buzques who came up to defend it.
It was obvious that the push hit the chest, but Butzkes covered his face and fell to the ground exaggeratedly, rolling on the ground in pain.
This led the referee to think that Motta had been a very bad foul and sent him off with a red card.
A red card in the second leg of the semi-final meant that even if Inter Milan eliminated Barcelona and reached the final, Motta would not be able to feature in the Champions League final.
Motta cried.
But at that time, no one cared about him anymore, and the scene of Buzkes, who fell to the ground, took his hands away and peeked at the referee became the focus of discussion.
So poor Motta missed out on the only Champions League final appearance of his career.
Motta's career lasted just two years before he was hit by a barrage of injuries......
When he played for Italy in the European Championship final, he even played only three minutes before going off injured. The Italian team, which had used up three substitutions, was only able to face with ten men, and finally lost to Spain 0:4.

ps, although there are only three more, but it can be regarded as a small outbreak. So I still ask for a monthly pass!
