"Romain, I heard that you have met Juan Ferger recently?"

At Abramovich's luxury yacht parked at Canary Wharf, Pini Zahavi saw Abramovich in a good mood early this morning, so he asked this question a little boldly.

Perhaps for many ordinary reporters and fans, this news is very mysterious and imaginative, but for the famous European agent, Pini Zahavi has his own connections and news channels, and he is also very clear that Juan Ferger is a very important football consultant for Abramovich, and the two must be talking about the new coach.

Abramovich looked up and looked at Pini Zahavi, smiling slightly, "Relax, Pini, we just had a meal and discussed something, that's all."

He made it clear, but Pini Zahavi couldn't feel at all. He worked hard and finally helped Grant to the position of Chelsea coach in the past two years. He really hoped that his Israeli compatriots could continue to sit down, sit firmly, and even sit for decades like Ferguson.

But he also knew that after Grant acted as the head coach of the firefighting, although Chelsea's performance has steadily improved, both players and fans have a very bad attitude towards him, and Abramovich is especially dissatisfied with his 0-0 home loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

In the current Premier League standings, Chelsea is still four points behind Tottenham Hotspur.

Originally, Tottenham Hotspur lost to Manchester United, it should be the opportunity for Chelsea to quickly narrow the point gap, but Chelsea tied. Now Chelsea is facing Liverpool, while Tottenham Hotspur has encountered a relegation hottest Derby County who is almost sure to win. By then, the points will likely be pulled away again.

Who is not good to lose to? He actually loses to that damn Ye Qiu

"By the way, Pini, what do you think about our new CP selection?" Abramovich asked the friend lightly, "I said before, let you contact David Dunn, I don't know how it's going?"

When Abramovich was preparing to acquire Chelsea, his most preferred CEO was David Dunn, but David Dunn was Arsenal's vice chairman at the time and it was impossible to jump to Chelsea. But now it's different. David Dunn has left Arsenal now, so taking over Chelsea is not a problem.

"I've contacted him through relationships, but he said he was not interested." Pini Zahavi shook his head.

Abramovich's face froze. After saying "the pride of a typical Londoner", he also showed a hint of sneer.

No matter which angle the Arsenal now looks, they are not qualified to be arrogant. Even if they are ranked second in the league, everyone can see that Arsenal is a bit like a strong player from the outside world. As the schedule gradually ends, their problems will become more and more obvious. In fact, they performed poorly in the second half of almost every season.

To put it into words that damn Ye Qiu said, this is Arsenal's fine tradition

"Then let it go for the time being." Abramovich thought about it, but didn't take it too seriously.

But Pini Zahavi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there is no way to let go yet. This time Peter Kenyon chose not to renew his contract. Another executive chief operating officer who came to Chelsea at the same time, Ron Gurley, also resigned at the same time. There is no leader in the administrative department, which is not a long-term solution."

Abramovich doesn't like to interfere in these little things. Although he still has a little patience, his face is not very good-looking, but Pini Zahavi knows him very well and continues.

"And according to the current situation of the team, if we want to continue to maintain the team's combat effectiveness next season, we must clean up a group of players in the team in exchange for part of the transfer fee to sign ups."

This hit Abramovich's weakness because he had told Pini Zahavi and Peter Kenion and others that he would no longer make additional investments in the team in recent years, but would make Chelsea self-sufficient.

Chelsea are losing money every season, a large part of this is because the team's salary burden is too high. Although Chelsea are playing happily in the league and the Champions League, they also perform very well and make a lot of money every year, but in fact, they spend more.

Currently, Chelsea spends £100 million a year on salary, a very important part of which comes from Shevchenko and Barack. At the same time, several players in the team have received significantly increased salaries due to the two superstars joining, such as Lampard, Rooney, Terry and other local stars.

Chelsea's salary expenditure is far beyond the second-ranked Manchester United, and they are only close to 100 million pounds. From this point, it is not difficult to see that Chelsea has been completely kidnapped by their superstar policies.

Abramovich now regrets it very much, really regrets it, and his regrets are so much that his intestines are blushed, because this is a situation he never thought of when he wanted to introduce Shevchenko before. He just simply thought that he could afford his salary after introducing Shevchenko, but he never thought that this would cause a chain reaction within the team.

This is only a part of the expenditure, taxes, bonuses, etc. It is also a very large expenditure. It is even difficult to improve this situation in the next two years because Chelsea is currently in a very embarrassing situation.

There is a saying among Chinese people that is very true: it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Chelsea’s problem now is that the salary is completely beyond the pressure of the team and they are forced to cut the transfer budget to supplement their salary. So unless the salary is cut, the team will always bear this pressure. But the question is, can the salary be cut?

Barack is already old and will definitely stay at Chelsea, complete this contract, and then retire or go to other teams, so he has no hope for it, and what about Shevchenko?

The Ukrainians have a market, and AC Milan wants to recall him, but the question is, what should I do if his striking salary is?

Unless Chelsea is willing to pay Shevchenko's salary and then loan him to AC Milan, at the age of 31, no one wants to give it away for free, not to mention the transfer fee, because the huge salary is enough to discourage countless teams.

The salaries of the two superstars cannot be cut, and the salaries of core players such as Lampard, Rooney, Terry cannot be cut. They are the most important core players at present. Not only can they not be cut, they have to maintain and even give salary increases, especially for Rooney.

Therefore, in the visible next few years, Chelsea will always live with this salary burden, and if you want to invest heavily in the transfer market, don’t even think about it.

It is precisely because of this that Abramovich decided not to continue to invest, because it was a bottomless pit. No matter how much money he had, once he fell into this bottomless pit, it would be almost impossible for him to withdraw.

So now he regrets it very much, regretting that he didn't listen to Ye Qiu's original advice.

At least look at Tottenham Hotspur now. The team's salary expenditure is currently ranked sixth in the Premier League, around 70 million pounds, which is less than half of Chelsea's. However, the overall combat effectiveness of this team ranks among the top three in the Premier League, and this is the result of Ye Qiu's team raising the salary of several players this season.

The salary increase, but the big salary seller Fanny, has not increased the overall salary expenditure of Tottenham Hotspurs much. Although Beckham's joining brought salary pressure to the team, it also brought generous returns.

Thinking of this, Abramovich suddenly felt envious and regretful.

But regret is a terminal illness, and it is unhelpful.

It was at this time that morning news from Sky TV Sports Channel came from the yacht TV.

"Our reporter reported that at 15:00 p.m. yesterday, Tottenham Hotspur held a press conference at the White Hart Lane Stadium. Chairman and team coach Ye Qiu announced that the team will hire former Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon and former Chelsea COO Ron Gurley to serve as the team's new CEO and COO."

"As early as the beginning of the year, both Peter Kenion and Ron Gurley made the decision not to renew their contracts with Chelsea. It was revealed that this was because Peter Kenion's power in Chelsea is gradually being undermined by Chairman Abramovich, which made the Manchester people feel very dissatisfied and made the decision not to renew their contracts."

"Ye Qiu gave Peter Kenion a high affirmation for Tottenham Hotspur, saying that he is very optimistic about Peter Kenion's future at Tottenham Hotspur. He believes that this football management master who once created Manchester United's business empire can bring huge changes to Tottenham Hotspur."

"At the press conference, Peter Kenyon refused to answer why he left Chelsea, but he said that he broke up with Chelsea in a friendly manner, but he also said that relatively speaking, he prefers Tottenham's environment and Ye Qiu's trust in him, and he believes that he can do better and better at Tottenham Hotspur than ever before."

"But some Premier League experts said that Peter Kenyon left Chelsea to Tottenham Hotspur, on the one hand, because Ye Qiu can give him the trust and environment that he cannot get at Chelsea. More importantly, Tottenham Hotspur's future prospects are brighter, because this North London team has just signed an agreement with the London Municipal Government and the London Olympic Organizing Committee. According to this agreement, they will get the upcoming London Olympic Stadium after the Paralympic Games in September 00, and intend to transform it into a five-star modern top stadium with a capacity of up to 80,000 people."

"Compared with restrictions everywhere in Chelsea, Ye Qiu has adopted modern company institutional management for Tottenham Hotspur, which is obviously more in line with Peter Kenion's wishes. Coupled with the stimulation of the new stadium and Tottenham's rising results, these have led Peter Kenion to finally make the decision to join Tottenham Hotspur instead of staying at Chelsea, which is already difficult to make a breakthrough."

The exclusive report and analysis of this transfer by Sky TV was broadcasting in the news. Pini Zahavi in ​​front of the TV looked surprised because he had not received any relevant information. He looked at Abramovich next to him and found that the Russians were obviously surprised and angry, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Pini Zahavi knows Abramovich so well. This Russian rich man seems to be easy to get along with, but in fact, those who really know him know that he is very strong and domineering, and possessive. You can ask for what he gives you, but you can't even think about what he doesn't give you.

Now, Peter Kenion has switched from Chelsea to Tottenham Hotspur. Even though Peter Kenion has been out of favor during his time at Chelsea, and even if his resignation is a tacit agreement with Abramovich, he is still unhappy and angry because he feels that his things have been snatched by Ye Qiu.

"Pini" Abramovich suppressed the anger in his heart.

When Pini Zahavi heard him calling him, he immediately responded. Whoever angered him at this time is a fool.

"From tomorrow, you go to the team to be CEO. You are right. The team has no CEO for a day, which is not a good thing. At the same time, I have also decided that the team will continue to invest more this summer. If we want to fight our opponents, we must improve the team's strength and combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

After hearing this, Pini Zahavi felt a little happy in his heart and nodded immediately, "Don't worry, I know how to do it."

"I'm tired, you go to Stamford Bridge," Abramovich said with a calm face.

Pini Zahavi nodded and stood up to say goodbye, but when he walked downstairs of the yacht, he vaguely heard the sound of smashing things coming from the upper floor. He could guess that this must be Abramovich's anger.

But this has nothing to do with him anymore, because he has got what he wants

Tottenham Hotspur announced that Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley were the two senior executives of the team. This incident immediately attracted great response and attention around the world. Some people said that this was Tottenham Hotspur's poaching against Chelsea. Chelsea should fight back and directly sue Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu to court.

But soon, Tottenham Hotspur immediately clarified, saying that the team's actions comply with legal procedures and had no violations, while Chelsea never responded to this matter.

On the 9th of the month, the league ushered in the 26th round, and Chelsea drew 00 at home with visiting Liverpool. It was also in this round that Manchester United was upset by their city rival Manchester City at home and lost the Manchester derby.

This also allowed Arsenal to reverse Manchester United and once again topped the Premier League leader.

Tottenham Hotspur challenged Derby County away. After a week of rest and adjustments, Tottenham Hotspur hit a crazy offensive storm, completely sieve the defense of the unlucky deputy squad leader.

After the opening, Derby County was very strict, especially in the first twenty minutes, they would hold their 30-meter area, while Tottenham Hotspur actively organized and launched waves of attacks.

Ye Qiu's midfield combination this time is still Modric, Fabregas and the dragged Mascherano. The three midfielders have sorted out in an orderly manner to provide the frontcourt players with endless shells. In addition, Vargas and Alves on both wings actively stepped forward to participate in the attack, Tottenham Hotspur's offense was very active.

It was not until the first minute that Tottenham Hotspur Messi scored the Derby County goal and got a good start.

But in the first half of the hour, even the entire first half, no one would notice that this would be a big victory, because Derby played very hard and invested a lot of troops in the defense. Even in the 40th minute, Van Persie won another goal for Tottenham Hotspur, everyone felt that this game was only about three goals at most.

But in the second half, starting from the UU minute, Tottenham Hotspur suddenly scored a round of offensive storm, Ribery scored a hat-trick, and Ashavin, who came on the bench, also won another goal for the team. In stoppage time, Messi's goal helped Tottenham Hotspur finally lock the score at 0.

This was simply a goal feast, especially in the second half. As the physical fitness of Derby County players declined, they could not stop Tottenham Hotspur's attack at all. They were beaten by Tottenham Hotspur again and again. Their defensive rhythm and pace seemed bulky and slow, and could not keep up with Tottenham's light offensive.

0 Tottenham Hotspur once again made an almost crazy attack, completely pushing Derby County into the abyss of relegation, and allowing all opponents to see Tottenham Hotspur's unstoppable offensive ability again.

In this way, Tottenham Hotspur successfully widened the gap between itself and Chelsea to six points with this exciting victory. Tottenham Hotspur, which has 58 points, is currently 5 points behind the leader Arsenal and second-place Manchester United, successfully caught up again.

After playing Derby County, the Premier League was temporarily suspended because of the FA Cup and League Cup finals.

Tottenham Hotspur's opponent in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup is Bristol Wanderers in the League One. Ye Qiu plans to use the two weeks to adjust the physical fitness of the team's main lineup, so the FA Cup also plays as a substitute and youth team lineup. He defeated Bristol Wanderers 0 away and Kompany served as the starting center back and performed well.

The League Cup finals were held in the middle of the week, with Arsenal and Chelsea.

Grant's team played with Arsenal at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Both sides were familiar with each other and knew each other, so there were not many surprises in the game. The two sides finally tied the l in the 90-minute game and entered the overtime stage.

After entering overtime, the physical fitness of both teams has obviously been almost exhausted, but in the end, Arsenal got a free kick opportunity. The main central defender Galas headed the ball to defeat his old club. After scoring a goal, the former Chelsea player celebrated on the sidelines excitedly, winning the first championship trophy of the new season for Arsenal.
