Their season is just a league and the Coppa Italia. I didn’t expect to see the UEFA Cup at home now.
Although Lazio also participated in the UEFA Cup last season, it is deeply felt by everyone to participate in the UEFA Cup now.
Just six months ago, they almost went bankrupt.
They sold more than 20 first-team players and left seven, and then they rebuilt the team from scratch.
Up to now, they have reached the UEFA Cup knockout round in the previous round, which even Rome, their arch-enemy in the same city, has not done.
Now the UEFA Cup group stage has been held for four rounds. Rome has one win, one draw and one loss, with only four points. Strasbourg, the opponent in the same group, ranks first with seven points. Red Star teams in Basel and Belgrade are all six points, with two or three Tromso points. It is not easy for Rome to appear in such a complicated situation.
This makes Lazio fans even happier.
In the league, they put Rome firmly in the UEFA Cup, a European competition, and they are also better than Rome.
Lazio are also happy, especially Lotito.
He didn’t expect Lazio to achieve a good result in the UEFA Cup. He felt that it was unrealistic.
But the UEFA Cup is a place to make money.
Although compared with the Champions League, the UEFA Cup bonus is even worse than the chicken ribs, but for a coach who earns 10 thousand euros a year, a mosquito is still meat
The UEFA Cup bonus was a windfall. He didn’t expect his team to participate in the UEFA Cup.
The distribution rules of UEFA Cup bonuses are like this, because the total budget of UEFA Cup is 45 million euros, and the bonus that can be distributed is very small.
Lazio didn’t look at such a small sum of money when they participated in the UEFA Cup before, but now it’s different. Under Lotito, the stingy chairman, they value every euro.
Because of the small budget, there is no such thing as participating in the UEFA Cup, and there is a bonus scheme. If you want to get money, you have to win or not lose.
The prize for winning each group match is 40,000 euros, and the prize for drawing is 20,000 euros.
In this way, even if you win four group matches, it’s only 160 thousand euros
Even if you can break into the strong prize, it’s only 300 thousand, and the champion is 2.5 million euros
It’s not even enough for the Champions League.
What is the grade of the Champions League bonus distribution?
If you participate in the group stage, you can get 1.7 million euros, even if you don’t play a game, there are so many. No wonder so many teams are desperate to enter the Champions League.
Then every game is 34 euros, and whether you win or lose, you have to participate, so there is so much money.
In this way, participating in six group matches can guarantee a loss of 3.7 million euros.
Then, every time you win a game, you will get another 340 thousand euros, and a draw will get 170 thousand euros. If the group stage wins, you will get nearly 6 million euros.
What is this concept?
Lazio has to pay 5.5 million euros a year, and this group match is enough for them to pay their debts.
If you enter the second stage, you will add 2 million euros to the base prize and double the winning prize.
Enter the strong, add 2.7 million euros, enter the four, impose 3.4 million euros, enter the final, it will be 4.1 million euros, and the champion team will get another 2.7 million euros and double the winning prize.
This is the gap
It is no wonder that many teams are reluctant to play the UEFA Cup. It is not unreasonable that the status of the UEFA Cup is declining year by year.
For Lotito, there is no money for the UEFA Cup, which is also a good place to make money.
Of course, if the team can really qualify for the Champions League as Chang Sheng said, that will be the real money.
Lotito now firmly believes how right he is to choose winning constantly, not from a competitive point of view, but from an economic point of view.
With a winning team, the results are good and the money is more.
This is a virtuous circle.
……
Changsheng is not surprised that the team can make it through the UEFA Cup group stage. He knows that it is not surprising that the team can make it through the group stage. Since it can rank second only to Juventus in the national league, why can’t it make it through the UEFA Cup group stage? You know, the UEFA Cup group stage is no big deal. Look at these opponents. They are all vulnerable.
The real test is from the top 32, which is the knockout stage.
However, there is still a round of elimination in the group stage, which will have to wait until February 2008, and the current winning streak is not considered.
He’s thinking about the league. That’s the root
Lazio vs siena in the 14th round of the league.
The game was always successful, and the players who played Sofia levski away in the middle of the week were not allowed to play. These people were all on the bench or in the stands
Beat Siena at home by a group of substitute players Lazio 31.
Keep winning streak
Of course, Juventus beat Florence on the 21 ST away, and they kept winning streak after losing to AC Milan.
Juventus beat Cagliari 4 at home in the 15th round.
Lazio beat Livorno 21 away.
have a nice trip
But soon Lazio will face the test.
In the 16th 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 focus war.
If Lazio can beat Juventus at home, they will replace Juventus at the top of the league.
On the contrary, if Juventus can beat them, it will not only give their opponents the first defeat of the season, but also widen the gap between themselves and Lazio.
After this game, the final round of the UEFA Cup group match always wins. At home, there are substitute players, and both players and coaches seem to be in love.
Dinamo Bucharest beat Lazio 21 away in the end.
This game was Lazio’s first defeat in all competitions this season.
But no one’s mind is still focused on this failure
All eyes are on Lazio’s match with Juventus this weekend.
"It’s ironic … before the season, who would have thought that the match between Lazio and Juventus would be the focus of battle? Juventus is the league champion. What is Lazio? They didn’t go bankrupt and fell to the third division, which is considered as an extra-legal privilege in this country! But now they actually want a league first fight! "
How did the media comment on the confrontation between the two teams?
The war of words between the two sides has been
