Chang Sheng finished his speech and returned to his seat, and the Christmas dinner officially began, and everyone could eat openly and chat casually. [This article is from]

The atmosphere was very relaxed.

Because of the good grades, everyone is now united, thinking in one place and working hard in one place.

That's the benefit of victory.

Chang Sheng and Lotito sat together, and they were also talking and laughing.

If this scene is seen by those who swear that Chang Sheng will leave Lazio and go to Real Madrid, I really don't know how to feel.

Lotito kicked such a thing to Chang Sheng during the banquet.

However, he avoided the others and lowered his voice to Chang Sheng: "Chang, I have seriously considered that your contribution to the team and the club is very huge. It stands to reason that I should reward you well, but your salary is already the highest on the team...... So I guess, I wonder if you would like to accept a stake in Lazio? ”

Chang Sheng was smiling at first, but now his smile froze, and he turned his head to look at Lotito, surprised.

"Shares?"

"yes." Lotito nodded. "Actually, I had this idea for a long time, just when the media revealed that you might go to Real Madrid. But I never found a way to do it. Now I think giving you a stake is probably the only and best way to do it. It's up to you to accept ......."

Chang Sheng's brain responded.

Lotito was afraid that he would run away......

The Real Madrid affair seems to have been a wake-up call.

Real Madrid didn't succeed this time, so what about next time? Or a different team? What do they offer more? Now that Middle Eastern oil capital is invading European football on a large scale, there will be more and more clubs that are richer than Real Madrid.

Lotito is not himself, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. So he would have such worries.

And I didn't go to Real Madrid, the main reason should be the old grudge between myself and Real Madrid, which led to my reluctance to go to Real Madrid.

But what if it was a different team?

If you change to a team that has no grudges with you, maybe you will leave?

Chang Sheng really hadn't thought about this question before - if it wasn't Real Madrid who was willing to poach himself at a cost of 100 million euros, but some other team, would he leave?

Even if the season is in progress, what about the end of the season?

That might have really made Pacheco right.

Even if he couldn't tell, Lotito was even more frightened.

He has always been very good to himself, and he is polite in what he says and does. Fully respect your own opinions.

He knew very well in his heart that Lazio was to blame for the status it has today.

Then it is obviously normal for him to want to use the way of sharing shares to retain himself.

But......

Is it necessary to accept it yourself?

※※※

Chang Sheng didn't answer Lotito's question in the end, telling Lotito that he needed to think about it.

As he said this, he saw a flash of disappointment in Lotito's eyes.

Of course he does. Not making a decision on the spot would have disappointed Lotito, and even made Lotito wonder if he really wanted to leave Lazio.

But he couldn't take care of any of these things.

He really couldn't give Lotito an answer right away.

He signed a contract with Lazio that has four years to go, meaning he has a long-term plan for Lazio.

He's been in Lazio for four years, and a four-year extension means he's going to be in Lazio for eight years – if nothing happens.

In Italian football, which is a super impatient environment for a manager, you can play in one team for eight years. It's not easy.

In Italian football, changing managers is a very frequent occurrence.

According to the statistics of the upper two leagues of Italy and England for the four seasons from August 2000 to June 2004 (excluding those who will eventually enter the third tier), it was found that people like Alex Ferguson and former Ligue 1 coach Auxerre Guy Rouge have found that people like Alex Ferguson and former Ligue 1 coach El Auxerre Guy Rouge have been found to be in the third tier. A "grandfather" manager like Roux is quite rare in both Italy and England. Thirty-six Premier League and Championship clubs have been in the course of these four seasons. Only 11 managers have been consistent, or 30.6 percent of the total. What about the 29 clubs in Serie A and Serie B? There were only three of them!

Rome's Fabio Capello, Chievo's Del Neri and Perugia's Cosmi, the "survival rate" of the Italian league manager is only 10.3%!

The simple inference is that the Italian club management is even more impatient. And the three coaches who "survived" did not "survive" to the summer of 2006. In this summer, among the eleven English club managers who have "lived" for four years. There are also five people "alive": Manchester United's Alex Ferguson, Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, Bolton's Allardis, Sheffield United's Warnock and Crewe's Graddy, who is older than Ferguson, and Charlton's Kirbyshley has only voluntarily resigned, otherwise Charlton will never fire this long-term coach with stable results.

However, there is another reason, and that is that there are frequent changes of coaches in Italian football, so a manager who has a little bit of fame may leave the team he was coaching and go to a bigger club. A 10 per cent "survival rate" at least means that there are always vacancies at top clubs, and England is the opposite.

In these four seasons, the five most influential clubs in Serie A: Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma and Lazio have hired fifteen managers, while the five most successful clubs in the Premier League: Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle United, have hired only six managers, during which Vialli has been at Chelsea for less than half a year. In the past four years, each club in Serie A and Serie B has hired an average of 4.7 managers, compared to 2.8 in England.

But Italian football's lack of patience with managers is well recognized. In those four years, twelve relegated teams have changed managers before relegation, but what about the twelve relegated teams in England? Six teams did not move the scope of the head coach.

Italian youth coach Ferrari believes that this is the result of Italian football, regardless of the reason for the process, otherwise how to explain Cagliari's change of four managers in less than four months at the start of the 2005-2006 season? So unstable. It's easy to hurt Italian football, a manager can only live in the here and now, they can't help but be short-sighted.

Knowing this, you can know how difficult it is for Changsheng to insist on long-term planning in Lazio......

Even so, Chang Sheng did not dare to say that he and Lazio's president Lotito could have been on their honeymoon all the time.

He knows a lot of things in the future, but he can't see his own future path.

I don't dare to say for sure.

Maybe it is impossible to wait for the end of the four-year contract to start a new round of wandering?

with their own temper. Coupled with the experience he had before, Chang Sheng felt that it would be difficult for him to stay at a club for a long time.

Lotito gave himself a stake in the hope that he could stay in Lazio for a longer time.

It's a bit like Arsene Wenger, who has been rumoured to have a stake in Arsenal.

But is it safe to have shares?

Chang Sheng didn't know exactly how much Lotito would give him, but he didn't think it would be too much.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be the manager. Instead, it should be the president of the club......

Back home, Chang Sheng told Avril about it.

Avril was not as complicated as Chang Sheng considered, she asked Chang Sheng directly: "Is there anything to consider about this?" If you have shares, you can pay dividends. You've made so much money for the club and you haven't gotten a penny. Now that you can get your share of the money, what are you waiting for? The shares are in your hands, and the initiative that you can't go away is also in your hands. If you want to go. Then throw the shares away. No one can stop you. ”

This is really clear to the bystanders, and the authorities are confused.

Avril said it all the time.

Let Chang Sheng suddenly realize.

By the way, what are you struggling with?

Regardless of whether he is still in Lazio in the future, he is now holding that share. It's not a bad thing after all.

Lotito will definitely not give too many shares to himself, and it is estimated that he will be able to distribute dividends at the end of each year. It's just a symbolic meaning, and it doesn't have any impact on your future.

It doesn't matter if you want to stay in Lazio or if you want to leave in the future. This stake will not be a stumbling block.

※※※

So Chang Sheng called Lotito, and on the phone he thanked Lotito for his kindness. And said that he was willing to accept the shares offered by the club.

This answer made Lotito happy.

He laughed out loud on the phone.

"It's best if you're willing to accept it, Chang! I'm afraid you won't accept it......"

Chang Sheng smiled: "How is it possible? I still have a career in Lazio......"

There was one thing he hadn't said yet.

Who is afraid of having a lot of money?

There was no news coverage of Lotito's giving Changsheng shares.

The two parties signed an equity transfer agreement in a very low-key manner.

When Lotito first took over Lazio, he bought 30 percent of the Lazio club's shares for 25 million euros, and now owns 51 percent of the Lazio club by subscribing for shares on the stock market in recent years.

Thirty per cent made him the number one shareholder of the club, and now it is.

He gave Chang Sheng a portion of his 51 percent stake, which accounted for 3 percent of the club's total stake.

Not much, indeed.

The symbolism is greater than the actual meaning.

Through this move, Lotito wants to tell Chang Sheng that he is with him and that he will always support him.

I hope to gain more trust and goodwill from Changsheng.

Although it seems to be playing the economic card, it is actually an emotional card.

By ceding his shares to Chang Sheng, he expressed his gratitude and dependence on Chang Sheng, in exchange for Chang Sheng's good impression of him, so as to make the friendship between the two deeper.

To be honest, when he renewed his contract with Chang Sheng, the liquidated damages of 50 million were already the highest in the coaching industry.

But the Real Madrid incident made him fully realize that the liquidated damages of 50 million euros are not worth mentioning in front of those local tycoons......

Liquidated damages can't stop those clubs from watching and winning, and the only way to play the emotional card is at the critical moment.

I hope that when Chang Sheng is faced with temptation, he will consider his kindness to Chang Sheng, so that he can stay.
