Chapter 289 I want the world's number one annual salary(2/3)
But Pan Yi is still so "reserved". This young coach of Longguo is really difficult to deal with.
However, Abu was not angry either.
He knew that only those who were truly talented would have the qualifications to carefully select their employers and be "bohemian".
Just like back then, when he first invited Mourinho to come to Chelsea as head coach, it was regarded as a "three visits to the thatched cottage" and he also promised to give Mourinho a lot of power in team affairs.
At that time, Mourinho led Porto to win consecutive UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League championships, and also won the Portuguese Super League championship and cup championship in Portugal for two consecutive seasons. He can be said to be the most popular young coach in the world.
Got it!
After being moved by Abramovich's sincerity and coming to Chelsea, with the financial support of the club, the then 41-year-old coach began to build his strongest lineup and instilled his coaching beliefs into this lineup, and then let Chelsea begin to truly develop.
Become a Premier League powerhouse.
Of course, the most famous moment when he came to Chelsea was when he said in his first interview that he was a championship coach and a "special one."
This is also the moment when the "madman" shows his confidence.
But naturally he has his mad capital.
As soon as he arrived, he led the Blues to win the first Premier League title in the club's history, and then successfully defended it.
However, Abramovich had just bought the Chelsea club, and he was new to football and was very interested in the club's operations, so it was inevitable that he would engage in some "micromanaging" behavior.
Mourinho has always hoped to comprehensively manage Chelsea like Ferguson did at Manchester United, and does not want Abramovich, a "layman", to interfere with his team building.
In 2005, Abramovich handed over the management of Chelsea's youth training to Arnesen, taking the first step in splitting with Mourinho.
In the subsequent transfer window, Abramovich simply ignored Mourinho's objections and directly signed two stars, Shevchenko and Ballack, at a high price.
Their joining was the trigger for Abramovich and Mourinho to part ways for the first time.
A madman is a madman after all, and he will not give in when facing his boss Mourinho.
After the two stars joined, Mourinho put them on the bench and made it clear: "If Abramovich forces me to use a certain player, I will leave Chelsea."
In this regard, Abramovich had to make concessions: "I never interfere in team affairs, let alone how the coach uses the players."
But for a strongman like Abu, surrendering will only make him feel aggrieved.
In December 2006, he said in an interview: "Mourinho is not my friend, although we have a good relationship. I respect him very much, not just because of his achievements in coaching."
In 2007, the two had another disagreement over transfer. Although they reconciled for a time, the rift has been difficult to mend.
Although they have won six championships in three years, the Blues have never been able to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.
The declining record became the straw that broke the camel's back. Abramovich finally made the decision to fire Mourinho, and the two parties broke up peacefully.
Despite leaving the Blue Bridge, Mourinho did not complain about Abramovich. He also said: "We have never been friends, just an employment relationship. We have never been close, but he is a person I respect.
.”
This also laid the foundation for the subsequent reunion between the two parties.
But this time, it seems they are about to separate again.
Because Abu has a better prey - Pan Yi!
In his opinion, Pan Yi is younger, has more potential, and is more "crazy"!
No, actually it cannot be described as "crazy".
It should be said that the young man in front of Abu now has a calm temperament that is inconsistent with his age. Even after hearing such a generous offer, he didn't even raise his eyelids, let alone agree immediately.
And this kind of temperament is actually an important factor in ensuring its success!
Abu nodded slightly.
He has decided to capture Pan Yi at all costs!
And he has already learned his lesson from the first time he broke up with Mourinho, which is to "distrust people and don't trust people."
Since Pan Yi is to be appointed as his head coach and can take charge of all the competitive affairs of Chelsea, then he should not interfere with his work at all and let him be a Ferguson-like figure!
"Very good, we will wait for good news." Abu smiled at Pan Yi, "During this period, if you have any ideas, you can raise them. For example, the salary you want..."
"Oh, this specific number is not too important." Pan Yi also smiled, and then said, "As long as it can rank first in the world."
Abu: "..."
Bruce Buck: “…”
Ron Gourlay: “…”
This is actually one of Pan Yi's strategies.
When I was in Hamburg, the club had no money, so wages and things like that were really not very important, it was just fine.
But for a big dog like Chelsea, how can it be okay if they don’t kill them severely?
According to Pan Yi's understanding, Abramovich is indeed very willing to spend money on coaches.
If we were to count the coaches with the highest annual salary in the history of football, the head coach of Chelsea at the time would account for half of them!
This includes Mourinho, Scolari, and Villas-Boas who have already coached Chelsea, as well as Conte, Tuchel and others who will come to Chelsea in the future.
Moreover, a high salary will not only increase the real money in your pocket, but also help to quickly improve your status within the team.
The reason is very simple. If the head coach has the highest weekly salary in a team, which means the most famous person is the head coach, then, what qualifications do the players below you have to show off?
"Now... who is the highest-paid coach in the world now?" Abramovich turned to ask Bruce Buck.
Bruce Buck swallowed and replied: "It's Guardiola from Bayern Munich. His current annual salary is about 17 million euros, which is equivalent to a weekly salary of 320,000 euros."
"Oh, that's not bad." Abu nodded.
In fact, when Mourinho entered the palace for the second time, his annual salary had already reached 15 million euros, which was actually second in the world after Guardiola.
Now that Abramovich wants to replace Mourinho with Pan Yi, it is reasonable to have a higher annual salary than him, right?
Thinking about it again, Guardiola was defeated several times by Pan Yi in the Bundesliga with a lineup like Bayern's, so it makes more sense.
From another perspective, Pan Yi dares to ask for the world's number one annual salary, which means that he has the confidence to be the number one head coach in the world.
For this reason, Abu will not be stingy with the check in his hand!
"If you agree to come to Chelsea, I will give you 18 million... No, let's make it up. An annual salary of 20 million euros will make you the number one in the world as you wish!" Abramovich showed a confident smile to Pan Yi.
For Abu, as long as it can be settled with money, it is much easier.
And Pan Yi also gave Abu a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.
As expected of Abu, he is straightforward and decisive in doing things!
It’s really cool!
Pan Yi really didn't want to decide which club to go to so quickly, but...
He gave so much!
20 million euros!
More than 100 million RMB! A small goal for a year can be achieved so easily.
This doesn’t even include the championship bonuses that will be obtained by then.
The main reason is that Pan Yi's original salary in Hamburg was only 1 million euros a year, but now it suddenly jumped 20 times, which is indeed a bit scary.
Even though he was already a potential billionaire with more than 10,000 Bitcoins, he still couldn't hold back his excitement.
No, the character cannot collapse and must be maintained.
With a glass of wine, Pan Yi managed his expression again, and then looked at Abu with a slight smile: "Mr. Abu, if you are willing to give me the world's largest annual salary, then you must also have high performance requirements for me."
The world's No. 1 player should at least win the Triple Crown to start, otherwise he will pack up and leave?"
As we all know, although Abramovich is willing to spend money on coaches, he is also ruthless when it comes to firing coaches.
His performance in coaching and leading the team can be described as strict.
Think about it, Mourinho led the team to win the Premier League for the first time, then defended it, finished second in the third season, but was fired;
Ancelotti won the domestic double, then finished second in the Premier League, but was also fired;
If they were all good at playing in the league, they were close to playing in the Champions League, but Di Matteo led the team to win the Champions League (normal timeline of Pan Yi's previous life), and then they couldn't play well in the league and were dismissed.
So when working under Abramovich, is it really considered a failure if he doesn’t win the Triple Crown?
Even for Pan Yi, the pressure is a bit too much.
After all, what he has is the best coaching tactical system in the world, which only means that he is "smarter" and more "advanced" than other coaches. In fact, there are many things that he cannot control.
He doesn't have a plug-in like "Football Modifier", which can directly modify player data, and can even directly determine the outcome of a game by reading files!
Especially as time goes by, Pan Yi's advanced tactics are constantly being learned and applied by other coaches, and his advantage in this regard will be further reduced.
So if Abu really has such high demands on Pan Yi, then Pan Yi also has doubts.
Looking at anyone in the world, even if he is given a "nuclear weapon" that allows him to put any player in the world into his team at will, he would not dare to guarantee that he can win the Triple Crown, right?
The big reason why football has become the number one sport in the world is that this sport is full of uncertainties. Even a star-studded Galaxy Battleship may capsize and lose to a low-level team, let alone lose to those strong teams in the Champions League.
Team up.
