Chapter 185: The Battle for Falkao
The words of Falcao's agent, Mosio, have been analyzed countless times in the media, and journalists, experts and critics always like to be analysts.
They are good at or like to pick out the hidden meaning of every word the other person says.
Even if it is an ordinary sentence: "Hello", they can analyze many similes and metaphors from the speaker's tone, expression, and the sentence itself.
This sentence is analyzed and analyzed, in fact, it is the same meaning.
"We've collapsed with Lazio, if any of the other teams is interested in Falcao, just make an offer, we're definitely going to run away!"
After the media spread, the news of Falcao's failed contract renewal negotiations for Lazio spread throughout Europe within a day.
It can be seen that if "Milan Sports Newspaper" really wants to wait for Pacheco's so-called exclusive news, it is estimated that it can really only eat the leftovers of others, and the leftovers will not be hot...... What a tragedy.
Therefore, "Milan Sports Newspaper" did not ask for the original manuscript written by Pacheco, but like other media, directly extracted the official statement of Lazio from the official website of the Lazio club, and published it as news first.
European clubs were spurred on by this provocation.
Falcao's current performances have made his name resounding across Europe, and countless European clubs have dreamed of him.
Wealthy clubs are even more flocking.
During this time, the Italian media, especially the core report of the famous "Milan Sports Newspaper" in European football, always kept the name of Falcao away, and invisibly helped Falcao to promote it.
A rising future superstar at the Lazio club, he is physically and brilliantly marksmanship. And most importantly...... He's a new low! With such a low annual salary, it shows that he is very easy to dig, as long as you can get the Lazio club. Then Falcao must be your man!
That's why so many clubs want to buy Falcao.
Media outlets such as Sport Milano have used sustained attention to illustrate Falcao's potential and fame, and they have written a guarantee for Falcao's future potential, so that the hesitant giants are willing to spend a lot of money to buy this man.
That's why English players are generally inflated. Because it was all promoted by the English media. One or two are blown into a 10-year, 20-year, 30-year, and 50-year encounter...... A once-in-a-century genius.
Naturally, the price is high.
Now the newspaper is doing what the English media do to England players.

The next day, the Milan Sport newspaper published Pacheco's op-ed "The failure of the Falcao negotiations means the collapse of Lazio".
In this article, Pacheco gives many statistics and examples. Citing a number of interviews to prove his point: why did the failure of the Falcao negotiations mean the collapse of Lazio?
Because this is just the beginning. Falcao's failure to renew his contract will shake the morale of the military. It will make more players want to leave Lazio. Especially those who were hesitant before will now make a choice. Falcao set an example for them.
What is the future and future of a club that can't even keep the team's top scorer?
This will have a ripple effect, with more players affected and fleeing Lazio.
Eventually turned into even more collapsed.
Just like a run on a bank, the irrational positioning of a small number of people will lead to panic among the majority, which will turn into a social disaster.
Pacheco expounded his views from an economic, athletic perspective.
It seems plausible and convincing.
His article aggravated everyone's economic situation in Lazio. And the fear of competitive results - what will Lazio do next season when the players are sold out? I'm afraid that even Chang Sheng himself is leaving, right?
And this season the players are scared and want to leave the team, and how many people can focus on the game?

Sport Milano is one of the most authoritative professional media in Europe. Their views have always been recognized and sought after by everyone.
This article by Pacheco lit a fire in the hearts of all.
The fire is starting to burn - maybe the Lazio supermarket is going to open again?
It is not yet known whether the hesitant players within Lazio have made their decisions because of his article.
But it seems that the clubs who had been hesitant to dig Falcao had made a decision - dig!
And as if to cater to the clubs' pursuit of themselves, Falcao scored a hat-trick in the 26th round of the league and made a very good advertisement.
However, to Pacheco's displeasure, Lazio won and relied on Falcao's hat-trick to beat Atalanta 3-0 at home.
It does not reflect the "competitive crisis" that Pacheco asserts.
And Lazio's direct rivals, Inter Milan also lost away from home, losing 1-0 to Napoli. The two-point gap has become five points again......
An angry Pache scolded Inter Milan in his apartment.

Just after this match, Falcao's agent, Claudio Falco. Mosio told reporters that he knew Real Madrid was already in action.
"At the moment, of course, Real Madrid is closer to my players......
Real Madrid is indeed always looking for a good centre-forward.
Raul. Gonzalez is becoming more and more like a midfielder, Ruud van Nistelrooy is getting older and Higuain is inconsistent...... Real Madrid didn't even have a stroke.
In such cases, the law of Lazio
Naturally, Erko came into their sights.
In fact, Real Madrid did make the move, and they approached Lazio and asked Falcao how much he was worth.
A day later, Chang Sheng not only rejected Real Madrid, but also publicly refuted Falcao's agent in the media.
'At the moment, of course, Lazio is closest to Falcao. He's not for sale for the team and we're not going to sell him! It doesn't matter if his suitor is Real Madrid or whatever. ”
It looks like a battle to fight for and defend Falcao has begun......

After the 26th round of the league, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Lazio and Liverpool will be played in midweek.
This match is about who makes it to the quarter-finals.
As a result of the first leg, Liverpool were forced to a 0-0 draw at home by Lazio. So the promotion situation is not good for Liverpool.
Of course. It's not that it's completely out of the ordinary.
As long as they can hold Lazio to a draw in this game, if they still have goals, they can rely on away goals to eliminate Lazio.
Liverpool had a good idea.
It's just that they didn't take into account how strong Lazio is at the Olympic Stadium.
Before the game, Chang Sheng told them in the dressing room: "I said we were going to win the Champions League this season. Now it seems that this idea still seems like a fantasy. But I know we can do it. Now everyone can hear the voices outside. They want to tear us apart. But we can't let them get their way. For me, for you. It's all the same, it's only at this time that the Champions League competition really begins! ”

Liverpool did score in the game and got away goals.
But it doesn't make sense, it doesn't help.
Because when they score. At that time, the score was already 3:0, and Lazio, who was playing at home, had a three-goal lead!
The game has lost its suspense.
Falcao's goal in the game continued his fine form of late.
He has already scored five goals in this season's Champions League.
Falcao seems to be seducing the big clubs with his actual performances, making them bid for themselves.
The scouts of the giants in the stands buried their heads in their little books.
Physically, consciously, technically ...... fighting spirit, "Tiger" Falcao is simply perfect!
"This is a good player worth spending money on, and believe me, he can be a top scorer with more than twenty goals per season!"
Finally, every scout writes so on the back of their scouting report.
※※※
Falcao's successive performances have stimulated the giants.
The Champions League has just ended. The media exposed the news that Chelsea offered 30 million to Lazio for Falcao!
In response, the media excitedly announced: "Chelsea have made a move!" They fired the first shot in the fight for the 'Tiger'! ”
When Chelsea made an offer, all eyes were on Lazio.
They want to see how Lazio will respond.
Just a day later, news broke that Lazio had rejected Chelsea.
Chang Sheng stood in front of the reporters: "Yes. We received offers from Chelsea but I didn't hesitate to turn them down. It's nothing to negotiate, Falcao is not for sale for us! ”
Chang Sheng's direct rejection of the 30 million offer, without even stumbling up, made people wonder if other teams would be able to poach Falcao from this miser.
You must know that when Chang Sheng brought Falcao to the Olympic Stadium from River Plate, he only spent a measly 3 million euros, second only to the 5 million euros that bought Handanovic from Udinese.
And now Chelsea's first offer for Falcao has reached 30 million!
His worth has increased tenfold compared to a year and a half ago!
Some media said that this is simply more profitable than robbing a bank, and it is also fast and risk-free.
But with such a high transfer fee, Chang Sheng still doesn't take a good look at it......
Maybe he really didn't plan to sell Falcao?
It's normal to think about it, Falcao performed so well that Chang Sheng's brain was pumped before selling him. Sell the team's top scorer, the attacking core, this is the rhythm of the end...... They thought that Chang Sheng would not be so stupid.
Such voices began to appear in public opinion.
As soon as Pacheco heard such a voice, he was in a hurry.
If those clubs don't buy Falcao, how can they split Lazio?
I can't do that.
So he wrote in the newspaper "Milan Sport" that Lazio would definitely sell Falcao.
Even if he doesn't sell it, Lotito will sell it.
Because Falcao is now the most selling player in the Lazio squad. If the debt is to be repaid, Falcao must be sold!
With Lotito's character who values money as his life, he would rather take back the transfer rights he gave Chang Sheng, fall out with Chang Sheng, and sell Falcao.
So even if you can't impress Chang Sheng, as long as you can impress Lotito.
And what is the key to impressing Lottito?
It's a transfer fee, a high sky-high transfer fee!
As long as the money is in place, Lotito will definitely allow Falcao to transfer!
Therefore, those teams who are interested in "Tiger" Falcao must be willing to spend their blood! Is it worth it to pay a high price for Falco? Worth it absolutely!
This striker can earn your transfer fee back in a year. When you lift the trophy after one season, no one thinks Falcao is expensive......
