Ticket situation

Located 80 kilometers north of Rome, there is an inconspicuous small town called Colevecchio, but it became famous all over the country overnight.

What brings fame to this township is not the houses and resources here, but the family living here.

Strictly speaking, it was their son!

Joseph used to be an employee of the railway station, but since his son became famous playing football, he quit his job and left his hometown with his wife Laura, Ginecita, located in the southern suburbs of Rome, and came to Colevecchio to take care of Their daughter who suffered from leukemia lived here for several years.

This is a very simple small town. The neighbors around know that their son is the captain of Lazio, Alessandro Nesta. He is the symbol of this team. give care.

In Italy, the family members of players can always get such benefits!

After negotiation, the small town decided to name the street where Nesta's parents lived as Alessandro Nesta Street, in this way to express their respect for Nesta.

Taking advantage of this winter break, they decided to formally hold the naming ceremony, for which they specially invited Nesta to attend.

This immediately attracted countless reporters and media, and immediately made this small town, which was originally inconspicuous, famous all over the country and even the world overnight.

Throughout the naming ceremony, Nesta stayed with his parents, chatting with the two old people with a smile on his face.

After the ceremony, he was interviewed by reporters alone.

I am really grateful to all the neighbors and residents here. They are so warm and loving to our family. I hope they can take it easy. After all, I am not dead, but they feel that this is the right time. This is a new road. The built street is a very nice place!

When Nesta was interviewed, he explained with a smile the reason why he was named after him, and at the same time made a little humor.

Then do you often come here to live? A reporter asked.

Of course, of course, my parents, older sister and younger brother are all here. I have to come back at least once a week. My older sister is not in good health. I usually come back to see her whenever I have time.

Alessandro,

There have been a lot of rumors about you recently, do you have anything to clarify? asked another reporter.

Nesta frowned and shook his head, No, I don't have anything to say for the time being, the only thing I can say is that I am negotiating with Lazio to renew my contract, and the club told me that they are very sincere and want to renew my contract. about, and I want to stay with the team.

Chairman Cranioti himself told you?

Nesta shook his head, No, I don't see Mr. Craniotti very often!

But there are rumors that he is very dissatisfied with some of your recent actions!

Are you referring to the fact that I lodged a complaint with the club on behalf of the fans?

The reporter nodded, As a professional player, you filed a complaint against the club on behalf of a third party. Don't you think it is a kind of betrayal to the club?

After hearing this, Nesta smiled and shook his head, still very patient, On the contrary, I did this because I love this team. I grew up in the city of Rome, and I have loved This team, so I know better than anyone what this team needs.

I have been a Lazio fan since I was a child. I am a native of Rome. I know many, many Lazio fans. Over the years, they have been telling me that the tickets are very expensive. I understand that, It is true that our tickets are slightly more expensive than other teams.

However, Chairman Craniotti believes that the current team has invested heavily in signings and has top Serie A stars such as Vieri, Nesta, Stankovic, Mihajnovic, and Salas. It should be more expensive, so that the team's income and expenditure can be balanced...

Before the reporter finished speaking, Nesta sneered again, Is it because of the listed company?

The reporter was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, You can say that!

I always believe that we are a public welfare cause, and football should be purer, just like Mr. Moratti, the chairman of Inter Milan, who has been contributing to the club for so many years, and he never thought of balance and return. Because his feelings for Inter Milan are pure!

Are you mocking Mr. Craniotti's feelings for Lazio?

Nesta shrugged, I didn't say that!

After a pause, Nesta went on to say: I don't deny that the team has brought in these big-name stars, and there must be pressure on management, but don't forget that our income from TV rights has also been increasing over the years. In my understanding, our club’s revenue has increased, so shouldn’t the tickets be slightly lower?”

Are you suspecting that someone wants to use Lazio for profit? The reporter was uneasy and well-intentioned.

No, I didn't say it, I just said that with the club's revenue rising steadily, even if our club's ticket prices cannot be reduced, at least we must maintain the status quo, but now, if we want to increase the price, this is for the fans. Hurts because not everyone can afford the money and sometimes we have 3 games a week!

Lazio will participate in the Champions League this season, plus the Coppa Italia and Serie A, it is true that there will be three games in many weeks.

However, Chairman Craniotti's spokesman said that since you became the captain of the team, your temper has risen a lot in the past year. You always feel that you are a big-name star and can override the club. He even pointed fingers at the team's management once, which is contempt and provocation to the management!

I absolutely have no such idea! Nesta shook his head immediately, Anyone who knows me knows that I won't do that!

But just yesterday, Eriksson also spoke up and suggested that as the captain of the team, you should not stand on the opposite side of the management.

I don't think the fans and the club are against each other! Nesta insisted.

I grew up watching Lazio's games. My feelings for this club are unquestionable. I just did what I should do as a lifelong Lazio fan. It has nothing to do with me being the captain of the team!

Aren't you worried that the management will punish you for this? the reporter reminded.

I don't know, but I won't regret it! Nesta thought for a while, but still smiled resolutely.

In fact, he is very clear in his heart, that is, one of the big reasons why Eriksson also supports the ticket price increase is that after the ticket price increase, the club can get a lot of money again, which can be used during the winter break. The period brought him Rivaldo, whom he had always missed.

Van Gaal wants to sell Rivaldo, which has long been known on the street. The rumors of Rivaldo leaving the team have been circulating for several years, but the sky-high transfer fee of 65 million US dollars that Barcelona insisted on is not at all. Any team can afford it, only a handful of teams.

Although Roma is burning money wantonly, Capello doesn’t like Rivaldo; after Milan paid a lot of money to introduce Shevchenko, the club’s finances also began to tighten; Inter Milan is the most likely, but Yang Cheng has never been the head coach who spends a lot of money to buy superstars , he pays more attention to cost performance; Juventus has been shrinking and dieting year after year, and finally Lazio is left.

Craniotti wants to introduce Rivaldo and Vieri to form a strong striker. Eriksson agrees with both hands, and Rivaldo doesn't like Van Gaal's old way of letting him play on the side. He wants to come to the center. And Van Gaal and Barcelona have always wanted to sell Rivaldo, so this transfer is not a question of existence, but a question of whether the transfer fee can be paid.

It can be said that whoever offers a price that satisfies Barcelona will be able to take Rivaldo away!

Thinking of this, Nesta felt a little sad, because he knew that such a series of big-ticket signings, after all, was to create momentum in the stock market, all of which were caused by the team's listing!

…………

…………

Far away in the Lazio headquarters office in Rome, Craniotti and his assistant are watching Linesta’s response to the reporter’s interview on TV, especially his last sentence, “I don’t know, but I won’t regret it!”

He is so arrogant now! Craniotti stood up indignantly.

This season coincides with Lazio's centenary celebration, and Craniotti is determined to show his strengths, but so far in the league, Lazio is behind Juventus, and even the Milan duo of Inter Milan and Milan are chasing after them Reluctantly, with the addition of Rome, the archrival in the same city, the situation of Lazio winning the championship is not optimistic.

Under such circumstances, Craniotti naturally thinks of signings to strengthen the lineup, and this time he is looking at Barcelona's Rivaldo, who has just concluded the selection of European Footballer and World Footballer They are second only to his Brazilian compatriot Denilson and are one of the top superstars in Europe.

The introduction of this kind of team is of great benefit to Lazio, not only for competition, but also for commercial value!

He feels that he is on the side of the fans, and I am on the opposite side of the fans! I don't even look at it. Everything I have done since I entered Lazio is to create the image of a top giant for Lazio, but He didn't care about it!

In addition to being the chairman of Lazio, Craniotti is also the owner of a food group. He speaks very powerfully and is the chairman of the Lazio team who monopolizes power. Therefore, everyone at the scene dared not object.

Since I can lift you up, I will definitely be able to step him down! Craniotti said bitterly.

Turning around, he turned to an assistant, Talk to Eriksson, suppress Nesta, don't let him be too arrogant!

Suppressing...will it affect the morale of the army? the assistant asked timidly.

Craniotti thought about it, and he was right, now is the critical period of winning the championship, Then he is injured!

Suppressing players on the grounds of injury is not uncommon in clubs, and it is also one of the most commonly used excuses.

The assistant immediately nodded and agreed, In addition, there are several clubs who have been paying attention to this matter. They are all paying attention to Nesta, and they probably want to poach talent!

F*ck shit, Nesta is the core of the defense, never let go! Craniotti yelled.

He is a very possessive person and cannot tolerate the players in his hands being coveted by others.

However, if Nesta can be used in exchange for a large transfer fee, it is possible to introduce Rivaldo!

After being reminded by his assistant, Craniotti immediately froze for a moment. Now he is crazy about superstars.

Because the arrival of Yang Cheng changed the situation in Lazio. For example, Nedved was in Inter Milan, Veron went to Manchester United, and the two strongest midfielders in Lazio were absent. In addition, there are really not many superstars who can do it.

However, for Craniotti's business strategy, superstars are indispensable.

As for Nesta, yes, he is the banner of the team and the main force of the national team, but he happens to be a central defender.

In today's era, central defenders can't produce top superstars, and they won't even be able to do so in another 10 years. This is due to the laws and rules of football!

Which teams are there? Craniotti asked.

Inter Milan is the most sincere. From the beginning of the summer to the present, it has not stopped and has always kept in touch. I heard that they are also in close contact with Nesta and his agent; Juventus, Milan and Roma are also heard. We are all watching, and the new general manager of Real Madrid, Piri, also called to ask about the situation.

Today's Nesta almost affects the hearts of all the top giants in Europe, and everyone wants to get him!

What's the offer? Craniotti asked.

In the summer, Inter Milan revealed that they were willing to buy Nesta for US$35 million!

Craniotti frowned when he heard that, 35 million US dollars, this is definitely a sky-high price for a central defender!

For Craniotti, who is good at operating and manipulating the stock market, he is very clear that buying at sky-high prices and selling at sky-high prices are the actions that are most likely to cause stock prices to soar, so he is so persistent in wanting to get Ridge. Waldo.

If we tighten up properly, there may be room to raise the price! The assistant was very good at observing words and expressions, and immediately saw Craniotti's face.

Before Ferdinand and Buffon's two shockingly high prices came out, it was difficult for the central defender's worth to exceed 10 million. If Inter Milan really bought Nesta for 35 million US dollars, they would definitely be laughed to death!

Then pass the news to Inter Milan and see how they react! Craniotti made a decision.

…………

…………

As soon as Yang Cheng stepped out of the airport, the driver who came to greet him from the club took him to No. 24 Durini Street.

He just came back from Zurich, and he went to attend the awards ceremony where his favorite disciple Denilson won the World Footballer's Laureate. When Denilsen received the award, he was very grateful to Yang Cheng. Also very excited.

able to see

Seeing his favorite student win the highest honor in football, Yang Cheng feels very satisfied, because this is a brilliant stroke in his coaching career. Countless people will mention Yang Cheng in the future, and they will definitely remember that Denilson, the World Footballer of 1999 It was excavated and trained by him alone.

It's just that, Yang Cheng felt it was a pity for Rivaldo!

But there is no way, the Kaiserslautern Triple Crown Albert is there. Although Rivaldo performed well in Barcelona, ​​​​he does not have the weight of the Triple Crown!

From the French Football's European Footballer of the Year Awards Gala in France to the World Footballer of the Year Awards in Zurich, Yang Chengzhen can be said to be non-stop. He originally wanted to go home to spend time with his parents, but when Facchetti called, he rushed to the event immediately. return.

Having just arrived downstairs at No. 24 Durini Street, Yang Cheng went in directly from the downstairs corridor.

What's the situation? Yang Cheng walked into Facchetti's office and asked immediately.

In addition to Facchetti, there is Moratti in the office.

Craniotti's assistant called to test our thoughts on Nesta. You have explained before that we have always kept in touch with him, so this time I immediately agreed to conduct secret negotiations! Facchetti laughed.

Yang Cheng kept nodding his head, not to mention how excited he was.

This season, Inter Milan's defensive strength is still good. Bergomi is old and strong, and the introduction of Laurent Blanco is also in place. However, these two players are not young, and no one knows how long they will be able to maintain their state.

Sylvester is always just a substitute in the eyes of Yang Cheng, so if Nesta can be introduced, it will definitely be of great help to Inter Milan's defense.

Secret negotiations... Yang Cheng pondered over the wording.

Nesta is the flag of Lazio. Even if Craniotti wants to sell someone, he will definitely not be able to find a buyer openly. It will definitely make him sprayed to death by the fans, so this is why secret negotiations are required.

It seems that this time Craniotti is really trying to sell people!

No way, they want to raise money to introduce Rivaldo! Facchetti laughed.

Sell the core of the defense and bring in a striker who is not so urgent? Yang Cheng didn't understand this logic.

Moratti and Facchetti on the side looked at each other. The former was a little embarrassed, because he used to do such stupid things that Yang Cheng despised, but now he seldom gets involved in team affairs.

Before the ticket price increase, Nesta and the club management had a deadlock. Craniotti has always been dissatisfied with his behavior. This time, for Rivaldo, it is logical to sell the rebel directly. matter!

Yang Cheng recalled it. He seemed to have heard about it in his previous life. Craniotti and Nesta had a falling out, and Juventus intervened in the negotiations with Lazio. However, after more than 4 months of negotiations, Lazio suffered a disastrous defeat in the Champions League. After Valencia's hands, Cranioti came to his senses, reconnected with Nesta, invited him to join the management, and gave him some Lazio shares.

Speaking of which, what this transfer is asking for is a quick decision, and before Cranioti repents, he must quickly take down Nesta.

And now the reliance is that Craniotti wants to get the transfer fee and get Rivaldo.

But Yang Cheng will definitely not do it. Inter Milan and Lazio are competitors this season. He certainly does not want Lazio to get Rivaldo. Said it was a mine.

The best way is to transfer in the summer!

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng had an idea, he decided to go to Rome himself!
