Chapter 251 The Finale of the Season

"Uh... how does it feel to be a champion?"

Pioli asked with a laugh while hiccupping.

After defeating Sampdoria and winning the championship ahead of schedule, the entire Lazio team got a three-day holiday. Almost everyone, like the head coach, celebrated the championship in different ways.

"Excellent!"

Led by the old captain Maury, the players responded with smiles, many of them had black eye circles and smelled of alcohol, especially South American players like Biglia, Mauricio, and Anderson, who still had a strong smell of barbecue. , even the belly is round...

"very good."

Pioli nodded again and again, but felt a surge of alcohol, and suddenly became dizzy.

He simply sat down on the lawn:

"Sit down, it's rare for everyone to relax together."

He was originally a gentle and weak coach, but now that he won the championship, the players sat down even more freely, laughing and laughing.

Just listen to Pioli said:
"There are still three rounds in the league. The opponents are Inter Milan and who else is coming?"

The assistant coach Murelli who did not sit down immediately replied:

"Carpi, Fiorentina and finally a Coppa Italia final against Juventus."

Pioli burped again:
"I also remember that the schedule is like this, so I will ask for everyone's opinions today. In the three rounds of the league, I want to give the main players a proper rest, such as Milo."

Klose smiled:

"I have been injured for a long time this season, and my physical fitness can no longer keep up. Of course, I can't wait to rest."

Although Klose is a foreign player, after several seasons, he has established his influence with a professional attitude. With him taking the lead in expressing his opinion, other main players have also supported the rotation plan.

The league has won the championship, and the last three games are meaningless. Anyway, this Lazio team has no hope of hitting the highest points record in Serie A, or any other records.

What's more, some players are already preparing to transfer and leave the team at the end of the season, let alone waste too much energy in this kind of game.

So Pioli has decided to allow more players from the reserve team and youth team to play these games!

On the one hand, this is also to give some incentives to young players, and maybe one or two future stars can really be discovered.

On the other hand, for the three games, the addition of the main players' appearance fees and bonuses is not a small sum!

Lotito, a miser, has just issued a bonus of 1000 million euros, and now of course he wants to reduce his expenses a little!

May 5st, International Labor Day.

Lazio, who had a full rotation, lost 0-2 to Inter Milan at home.

Even knowing that the main players will not play, the Olympic Stadium in Rome, which can accommodate more than 8 people, still has more than 5 spectators, which is slightly higher than the average attendance rate this season.

What's even more rare is...even the most radical fan organization "The Uncultivable Faction" didn't boo too much dissatisfaction in the North Stand, and the atmosphere of the whole game seemed very harmonious.

What is touching is that the fans of the home team also played banners and flags saying "Long live the friendship between Lazio and Inter Milan!"

The fans of the visiting team on the opposite side responded with one:
"Thank you Lazio veteran!"

With these three points, Inter Milan just overwhelmed Roma and squeezed into the fourth position in the standings!

Not only maintaining the traditional friendship between Lazio and Inter Milan, but also severely suppressing the rivals in the same city, Rome, this defeat is definitely worth it!

What's more, the new owner of Inter Milan is from the same country as the blue eagle's thigh! -
Not only did Lu Feng not play in this game, he didn't even stay in Italy.

Now that the club has made a decision, he is not willing to sing against the head coach.

So he directly took half a month's vacation and flew back to China to deal with some important affairs.

In just a few days, he successively met with many big crocodiles who are known as "calling the wind and rain" in China, some surnamed Wang, some surnamed Liu, some surnamed Li, some surnamed Ma, and some Surname Ma...

It's a bit of an exaggeration to be on equal footing. After all, Lu Feng's annual income may not be as much as the breakfast price of these big crocodiles, but there is no difficulty in talking and laughing happily.

Then Lu Feng discovered that the breakfast of these big crocodiles didn't seem to be that expensive!
After all, not everyone has to eat hundreds of millions for every meal!

During the period from 2015 to 2016, many commercial giants in China collectively focused their investment on the mainstream football leagues in Europe, and a number of acquisitions occurred one after another.

Suning acquired a 7.5% stake in Inter Milan for 70 million euros.

Wanda's boss Wang became the third largest team in La Liga and the second largest shareholder of Atletico Madrid.

IDG has also become the second largest shareholder of Lyon Club, the former seven-time champion of Ligue 1, with a penny of [-] million euros.

The founders of Plateno Group and 7 Days Hotel bought Nice in Ligue [-], and bought Balotelli from AC Milan's boss Li, who was in decline, and prepared to let Balotelli lead the team to take off in Ligue [-]...

Xinghui Interactive acquired a 6000% stake in Barcelona's city rival, Espanyol, for 56 million euros.

Double-Edged Sword Sports spent 4000 million euros to own 98% of Granada, also in La Liga.

Compared with these cases that cost tens of millions of euros or even hundreds of millions of euros, Heli Wansheng entered the Eredivisie Den Haag for 800 million euros, Leders entered the French second team Sochaux for 700 million yuan, and O.R.G. invested 700 million yuan to buy the French second team team. With a 59.95% stake in Auxerre, they can only be regarded as a few humble shrimps, and they are not even qualified to be introduced in a column in the domestic media.

In English football, Chinese capital can be seen everywhere:

The TTA company took over Birmingham, which was in the quagmire, from the hands of the Chinese owner, a Championship team.

Lianhe Kang and Fosun International followed closely behind, becoming the sole owners of the British Championship powerhouses Aston Villa and Wolves at prices of 7800 million and 4500 million pounds respectively. Villa also specially hired Di Matteo. As a head coach, prepare to break into the Premier League in one breath.

CMC and CITIC Capital spent US$4 million to acquire a 13% stake in City Football Group, the parent company of Manchester City Club, becoming one of the seven major shareholders controlling Manchester City.

The shadow of Chinese capital can be seen in the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, and the giants of Ligue [-], down to Ligue [-], La Liga B (the third level), and even some unpopular leagues in Eastern Europe.

Although a lot of Chinese capital...does not have any sense of existence in the eyes of the domestic public, this does not affect their spending a lot of money to stir up troubles in the market.

With national policy support on the top and high market returns on the bottom, investors are naturally flocking to it!
When Lu Feng returned to Italy after his two-week vacation, Klopp's first season in Liverpool was about to come to an end.

For the German head coach, this is definitely an unforgettable season for him.

At the beginning of the season, he was deeply involved in the "Humiliation Gate", so he had to temporarily rent out Lu Feng.

As a result, it took only one year for Lu Feng to become a top star alongside Ronaldo and Messi!
On the other hand, Liverpool, although they once staged a shocking reversal in the Europa League, allowing everyone to see the background of the Red Army again, but when the season is coming to an end, Klopp's hands are still empty!
The league championship was won by the super dark horse Leicester City in advance, and Liverpool only ranked seventh!

The FA Cup and the League Cup were eliminated early. At that time, they were also euphemistically called "strategic abandonment" and "concentrating on major competitions".

But the Europa League, which they regard as their last hope to enter the Champions League, made them happy in vain!
Liverpool did advance to the final strongly, but before the final, they suffered a blow!
The main defender, the Frenchman Sacco, was accused of taking illegal doping and was directly suspended without complete evidence!

——A few months later, this accusation was completely overturned, but no one has been responsible for it, only Sacco's career has fallen off a cliff because of this accident!

And in the final, "Europa League King" Sevilla turned this football match into a volleyball match!
Liverpool hated Switzerland, and completely lost their qualifications to enter the European war. Next season, they can only hang out at home!

Compared with the glory of winning the Premier League championship in the 2013-14 season, Liverpool in these two seasons can almost be said to have fallen into the clouds.

Of course, from another perspective, if there is no previous champion, it might not be so embarrassing now.

The four majors have been empty for two consecutive years, and Liverpool supporters can't help but shake their confidence, especially at this time in 2016.

Guardiola has already decided to fly directly to Manchester City from Bayern!
In mid-May, the madman Mourinho officially announced to join Manchester United!

These two super-top champion coaches with countless honors entered the Premier League at the same time. The difficulty for Liverpool to restore their supremacy in England has increased by 10 times in an instant!
Less than a week after Liverpool was handballed by Sevilla, Liverpool officially announced:
"After 7 months of friendly negotiations, the Chinese-funded enterprise has completed the acquisition of the club!"

According to gossip, the amount of this acquisition exceeds 10 billion pounds! -
Remarks:

In 2010, Fenway Group paid around £3m for Liverpool.

In 2016, it was rumored that Liverpool would be acquired by China Everbright Group. At that time, the quotation was 7 million, which was just a reference price. In 2019, this price is of course impossible.
