Lazio was able to qualify for a round ahead of time, which was unexpected by many people-they didn't even think Lazio could qualify for the UEFA Cup.
But Lazio, who now has no money and no stars, not only got the qualification for the UEFA Cup, but also passed all the way, breaking into the knockout round of the UEFA Cup one round ahead.
This is really good news.
Lazio fans dreamed that when their situation was so bad, the team could even make it to the UEFA Cup knockout stage.
They thought it was a league and the Italian Cup this season, but they didn't expect to see the UEFA Cup at home.
Although Lazio also participated in the UEFA Cup last season, but now to participate in the UEFA Cup, let everyone feel deeply.
Just half a year ago, they almost went bankrupt.
They sold more than 20 first team players, leaving only seven people, and then they started from scratch and rebuilt the team from the rubble.
Up to now, they broke into the UEFA Cup knockout round one time in advance, and this has not been done together with the city's rival enemy Roma.
Now the UEFA Cup group stage has been carried out for four rounds, Rome has a win, a draw and a loss, only four points. Opponents in the same group, Strasbourg scored seven points, ranking first, Basel and Belgrade Red Star are six points, ranked second and third, Tromso followed Rome three points. It was not easy for Rome to appear in such a complicated situation.
This makes Lazio fans even happier.
In the league, they firmly pressed Rome under him. They also beat Rome in the European competitions such as the UEFA Cup.
The Lazio club is also very happy, especially Lotito.
He didn't expect that Lazio would have a good result in the UEFA Cup, which he felt was not realistic.
But the UEFA Cup is a place to make money.
Although compared to the UEFA Champions League, the prize money of the UEFA Cup is almost tasteless, not even a fraction. But for Lotito, who stumbled into a head coach with an annual salary of only ten thousand euros, mosquitoes are meat even when they are small.
The UEFA Cup's prize money was originally a windfall. He didn't expect his team to be able to participate in the UEFA Cup.
The rules for the distribution of prizes in the UEFA Cup are like this. Because the total budget of the entire UEFA Cup is only 45 million euros, the distributable bonus is very small and pitiful.
Lazio did not look at such a small amount of money in the UEFA Cup before, but it is different now. Under Lotto, the stingy chairman, they value every euro.
Because the budget is small, there is no so-called bonus program for participating in the UEFA Cup. If you want to get money, you have to win, or you can't lose.
The prize money for each win in the group stage is 40,000 Euros and the draw prize is 20,000 Euros.
Calculated in this way, four group matches, even if you win, only 160,000 euros.
Even if you can break into the quarterfinals, the prize money is only 300,000, and the winner is 2.5 million euros.
It's really not even enough for the Champions League.
What grade is the Champions League's bonus distribution?
As long as you participate in the group stage, you can get 1.7 million euros, even if there is not so much in a game, it is no wonder that so many teams will desperately want to enter the Champions League is money!
Then the appearance fee for each game is 34 euros, no matter whether it is a win or lose, as long as you participate, you will have so much money.
In this way, participating in all six group matches will guarantee a minimum of 3.7 million euros.
Then, for each winning game, another 340,000 euros will be obtained, and if it is tied, you will get 170,000 euros. If you win all the group games, you will get an income of nearly 6 million euros.
What is this concept?
Lazio ’s annual debt to be repaid is 5.5 million euros, which is enough for them to repay the debt in this group stage.
If you enter the second stage, then add a basic bonus of two million euros to double the winning prize.
Enter the quarter-finals and add 2.7 million euros, enter the semi-finals and add 3.4 million euros, enter the finals is 4.1 million euros, the champion team will receive another 2.7 million euros, and win the prize money Doubled.
This is the gap.
It is no wonder that many teams are reluctant to play the UEFA Cup. It is not unreasonable for the status of the UEFA Cup to decline year by year.
For Lotito, the League Cup without money is also a good place to make money.
Of course, if the team can really qualify for the Champions League next season, as Chang Sheng said, it is really profitable.
Lotito now believes in how correct he is to choose to win. Not from a sports perspective, but from an economic perspective.
With constant wins, the team's performance is better and more money is made.
This is a virtuous circle.
※※※
Chang Sheng is not surprised that the team can make it through the UEFA Cup group stage. He knows the team's ability. Since this team can rank second in the domestic league, second only to Juventus. So why can't you get past the UEFA Cup group stage? To know that the UEFA Cup group stage is no big deal, look at these opponents, basically it is not a hit.
The real test starts at the top 32, which is the knockout stage.
However, there is still a round in the group stage, and the knock-out stage will have to wait until February next year, so now often wins without considering.
He is still considering the league, which is fundamental.
In the fourteenth round of the league, Lazio faced Siena at home.
The win in this game did not allow the players who played Sofialevski away in the middle of the week. All of them were on the bench or in the stands.
Against a group of substitutes at home, Lazio defeated Siena 3-1.
Continue to maintain a winning streak.
Of course, Juventus defeated Florence 2-1 away and also maintained a winning streak after losing to AC Milan.
In the fifteenth round, Juventus defeated Cagliari at home 4: 0.
Lazio defeated Livorno 2-1 away.
Bon Voyage.
But soon, Lazio will face the test.
In the sixteenth round of the league, they will welcome Juventus at home!
This is a contest between the two top teams in today's rankings.
It is also a battle of focus.
If Lazio can beat Juventus at home, they will replace Juventus and become the top of the league.
On the contrary, if Juventus can beat them, in addition to giving opponents the first defeat this season, they can widen the gap between themselves and Lazio.
For this game, in the final round of the UEFA Cup group stage, the players who always win at home are substitute players, and from the players to the coaches, they seem to be unwilling to fight.
So in the end Dynamo Bucharest defeated Lazio 2-1 away.
This game is Lazio's first defeat in all competitions this season.
But no one's mind is still on this failure.
Everyone's eyes fell on the weekend between Lazio and Juventus.
"It's ironic ... before the start of the season, who would have thought that the Lazio-Juventus match would be the focus? Juventus is the league champion, what is Lazio? They are not bankrupt and downgraded to the third league is the national law Wai Kaien! But now they are going to fight for the first in a league! "
How did the media comment on the confrontation between the two teams.
The war of words between the two sides has begun.
The general manager of the Juventus club, Mogi, once again mentioned the old things, referring to the opening of the Italian tax department to Lazio in March this year.
"This is really a shame for this country. This kind of blatant trampling on the spirit of the law is allowed to exist! The people who honestly pay taxes are hurt. If we can default on our debts without paying back, we can even take advantage of the law and get a light sentence. If so, who is willing to pay taxes honestly? "
What he said was that the Italian taxation department announced that Lazio could pay off their debts in twenty-three years, and only need to pay less than six million euros a year.
At the beginning, this incident was raging in the Italian football. The forces supporting Lazio and opposing Lazio wrestled with each other. The Northern League hopes to bring Lazio to justice, and it must not open the Lazio net.
The Roman forces who support Lazio believe that Lotito's approach conforms to the spirit of law and is within the scope allowed by national law.
In fact, Lotito was indeed guilty of the law, and also played a rogue, but in order to survive, to the extent permitted by law, Lazio did nothing wrong.
At the time, Lazio was heavily in debt and was almost unable to support it.
He hopes to return 40 million first, and the remaining 100 million will return slowly.
His basis was Italy ’s
Save Football Act
, which was repealed in July 2004, which allowed the club to repay the tax arrears in installments, and Lazio ’s tax arrears were accumulated during the period when the law came into effect, so he Making such a request does not violate the law.
Of the huge debts of 75 to 80 million euros owed to the country, Lotito paid attention to the money, and he hoped not to pay it back.
Regarding Lotito's "unreasonable demand", the Italian tax authorities will obviously not agree, and the two sides have been so stubborn.
The tax department believes that since the law has been repealed, the Lazio club should quickly pay off all taxes.
The tax department has some killers: February 28 to March 31 are the deadlines for Lazio to register with the Italian Professional League and UEFA for the new season, which requires the tax certificate issued by the tax department.
The accustomed Italian professional league is certainly easy to talk, but UEFA will not agree to any clubs that owe taxes to register.
However, judging from the league results at that time, it is difficult for Lazio to enter the European stadium next season, and it does not make sense to register in UEFA.
This makes the threat of the tax department lose its ability to control.
Lotito, who stiffened his waist, said immediately: "We are the victims of the political offensive. Pulling up is a listed club. I want to protect the interests of all small and medium investors. Why should I keep the tax that has been allowed and accumulated in the past? Now to repay all at once? I need to negotiate and I will wait until July 19! "
Of course, he didn't wait that late.
Because in March Lotito made an ultimatum to the Italian Ministry of Finance: "If no agreement is reached before March 23, I will bring all the documents to the bankruptcy court to apply for the club to close."
This is just fooling around, lying on the ground and rolling.
Because if the Lazio Club declares bankruptcy, according to Italian law, the tax department will not get a penny.
At that time, Lotito had the support of all Lazio players and fans. The players stood up and called for Lotito. The fans also launched demonstrations to exert pressure on the government. They even shouted: "Even if we go bankrupt, we will not give the government a penny!"
The tax department is really a headache for such a rogue club.
Although they came to the strong criticism and resistance of the Northern League, one of the ruling parties, that this was a violation of the relevant laws, and the government gave preferential treatment to clubs based in the capital Rome.
But the tax department is worried that Lotito really filed for bankruptcy, so he won't get a penny.
After weighing the pros and cons, the tax department made concessions.
The Italian State Treasury gave up San Lazio ’s sanctions and charged only 2.5% of the benefits, which is € 33 million.
In this way, the total debt of Lazio has been reduced to 140 million euros, and it can be paid in 23 years without interest!
The only thing Lazio had to pay was to mortgage the Fermelo training base and future income and sponsorship fees.
Lazio escaped from the dead, really picked up a big bargain!
This makes the top three in the North very dissatisfied.
Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan have all criticized and ridiculed the government for opening Lazio.
Now that Mogi has reiterated old things, does he really want the government to take back his life?
Obviously impossible, once the decision is made, it cannot be changed at will, and Lazio's debt repayment plan has been determined and cannot be changed.
Mogi knew this very well, so he said it now, just to block Lazio.
From blocking the Lazio club to blocking the Lazio team.
The ultimate goal is to influence Lazio's performance in the weekend game ... (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. .)
