Pacheco is an experienced journalist.
He can easily guess the contradiction between the players’ growing fame and their persistently low salaries.
Especially in Fa Erkao.
Lazio’s leading striker, his salary is only 500,000 euros a year.
Such a low salary is almost the same as Fa Erkao working for them for nothing.
So far, Fa Erkao hasn’t come out to make an abnormal salary.
But Pacheco thinks it won’t be long before Fa Erkao starts to make trouble. There will be many reasons, and neither he nor his agent will be satisfied with earning 500 thousand a year.
With Fa Erkao’s current performance, many big clubs are willing to give him five million euros a year!
Maybe I can make a fuss about this matter and find a breakthrough.
Fa Erkao is definitely not alone. There are many people like him in Lazio’s dressing room.
They all performed well, but their salaries were humble.
The fortress, just collapse from the inside!
It would be great to start with money.
Professional players, egged on by their agents, are all profit-seeking.
Especially the players in South America, loyalty means nothing to them, they just want money.
Chapter one hundred and sixty-four The dilemma of Real Madrid
Although Pacheco is very unhappy, Gazzetta dello Sport is right. Lazio is really hard to match in the domestic league.
In the 13th round, in the home game against Parma, Lazio played half the substitute because of the Champions League group match against Olympiacos in the middle of the week.
In this way, Lazio still beat Parma 2-0 at home.
Next is the Champions League group stage.
Before that, everyone thought that the qualifying situation of Group C had been basically determined.
Before this round of group matches, Lazio ranked first with nine points. Real Madrid finished second with seven points, Olympiacos finished third with four points, and Werder Bremen finished third.
This round is Werder Bremen’s home game against Real Madrid, and Lazio welcomes Olympiacos at home.
Although it is an away game, everyone thinks that Real Madrid can definitely beat Werder Bremen.
Not to mention the Lazio game, there is no suspense.
In this way, Lazio scored 12 points and Real Madrid scored 10 points. Olympiacos is still four points, Werder Bremen is still three points. The qualifying teams of this group are Lazio and Real Madrid.
In the final round, Real Madrid will play Lazio at home, which will decide who can qualify as the first in the group.
Real Madrid want to fight for honor, but Lazio is more practical-qualifying as the first in the group can successfully avoid many potential strong enemies and help them go further in this event.
This is the analysis before the penultimate round of group match.
But when this round of group matches ended, everyone found that the situation was completely different from what they thought!
Real Madrid lost to Werder Bremen 2-3 away!
Lazio drew 2-2 with Olympiacos at home.
Now, the situation of this group is much more subtle.
After five rounds of group matches, Lazio ranked first. Real Madrid finished second with seven points. Werder Bremen finished third with six points and Olympiacos with five points.
Except for Lazio, which got the qualifying right in advance, the other three teams all have the possibility of qualifying for the group.
Real Madrid, which was originally heading for the first goal of the group, found that after Lazio drew Olympiacos, they even had suspense in qualifying for the group.
Therefore, after the game, the Madrid media accused Changsheng of deliberately releasing water. Because in the game against Olympiacos, Changsheng didn’t send all the main players, but like the last league game against Parma, it was still a mix of general main players and half substitutes.
His original intention is to let more players accumulate experience in playing the Champions League.
I just didn’t expect to be forced to a 2-2 draw by the tenacious Olympiacos.
However, Changsheng does not regret this arrangement.
Unexpectedly, this arrangement became the reason why Madrid media accused him.
There is a reason why the Madrid media are so angry.
If they can’t beat Lazio in the final round, their qualifying will face severe challenges.
