Chapter 387 Watching the ball while watching the ball
"Fuck, why does my head hurt so much!"
The next day, Pan Yi sat up from the bed and rubbed his temples.
After the celebration last night, the whole team had another carnival, and he was drunk a lot.
It's really uncomfortable after a hangover. It seems like you're a bit drunk?
Then, Pan Yi subconsciously touched his side.
no one.
Because he suddenly remembered that Valentina also came back from Yorkshire to accompany him last night.
On this night of winning the championship, Valentina, as Pan Yi's official girlfriend, naturally has to attend.
It’s just that Pan Yi drank too much and really can’t remember the subsequent details.
Was it Valentina who dragged him home?
With her current "skills", it doesn't seem to be a difficult task.
That's not right. She is much slimmer now, so she probably can't drag her anymore. Forget it, it doesn't matter.
Then what?
What else happened next?
There seemed to be no traces of a fight on the bed.
Forget it, I really can’t remember clearly.
Pan Yi shook his head and then discovered that there was a note on the bedside table with Valentina's name on it.
It turns out that Valentina went shopping by herself.
"Going shopping so early? Ha, woman..."
Pan Yi just laughed and his eyes caught sight of the big clock hanging on the wall.
"Oh, it's already half past twelve."
However, Pan Yi stayed in bed for a while and read the newspaper.
Chelsea defeated Barcelona 5-3 in the UEFA Champions League final and won the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League title, deservedly becoming the focus of major media reports around the world.
"This is Chelsea's season, and it is also a perfect season for coach Pan Yi..."
Although they were newspapers from different places, they basically had the same tone, praising Chelsea and Pan Yi.
He sighed happily, he was well deserved.
Forget it, let's get up, I have to go to work at the training base later.
Pan Yi just sat up and lay down again.
"Damn it, the Champions League is over and the players are all on vacation. Are you still going to class?"
It seems that I drank too much and even forgot about this.
During the celebration last night, we directly announced a holiday for the next day. The players must have flown to various parts of the world to enjoy the long-awaited holiday.
Apart from the America's Cup, there are no intercontinental events this summer.
So except for the three Brazilian internationals David Luiz, Ramirez and Willian, everyone in the team can relax and relax.
"Poor Brazilian boys."
Pan Yi held a moment of silence for these three people.
This year's 2015 America's Cup will be held in Chile, and the opening match will be held on June 12.
The Champions League final was held on June 6, and two days later, today is June 8.
It can be said that these three Brazilian internationals rushed to Chile to join the national team without stopping, and then immediately ushered in their first game against Peru on June 15.
"Well, America's Cup?" Pan Yi sat up again.
His confused mind now vaguely remembered whether he and Abramovich had made an appointment to watch the America's Cup together last night?
The relationship between the two of them can be said to have started at the 2014 World Cup, and Abramovich obviously enjoyed watching football with Pan Yi.
Just one word: professional!
So Abu asked Pan Yi to go to Chile with him, which was also considered a vacation.
After all, the beaches in Chile are also beautiful!
Just when Pan Yi thought of this, he heard a car horn blaring outside.
He climbed out of bed and looked out the window, seeing an Aston Martin.
This Aston Martin, of course, does not refer to "Aston Villa's big Martin", but a luxury car!
Abu should have sent a driver to pick them up.
It seems that Valentina will be called back soon. How can I go on vacation without my girlfriend's company?
This car came to pick up the two of them and then went directly to South America!
Pan Yi doesn't know much about cars, but he heard from Abu that he has a limited edition model called "Aston Martin Vulcan". There are only 24 units in the world, and each one costs about three to four million euros.
It's probably the one in front of me.
Of course, this kind of luxury car is the least worth mentioning among all Abramovich's "toys".
Because Pan Yi is about to see what the real big treasure is...
——
"This... is so big!"
Pan Yi and Valentina looked up at the huge creature in front of them, and they said in unison.
Yes, it is Abramovich's private jet parked at the airport.
Although it seems feasible to go to South America by boat, and Abramovich does own a superyacht worth 1.2 billion pounds, one of the top in the world, taking into account safety and speed, it is more appropriate to fly.
"This is a Boeing 767-300 ER, nicknamed The Bandit." The captain introduced Pan Yi and the two, "This aircraft was bought by Mr. Abu in 2004."
"That was the second year after he acquired Chelsea." Pan Yi nodded, and then followed the captain onto the plane.
As you can see, the interior of this aircraft is very luxurious, and there is a banquet hall that can accommodate 30 people!
In addition, the plane also has a kitchen, an office, and a bedroom with a double bed...
This is simply a mobile villa.
"This aircraft is very safe. The internal materials use a lot of precious metals and high-end wooden materials. It also uses the same level of safety system as the US presidential plane Air Force One." The captain said with a smile, and then pointed.
Office, "Please come in, the boss is waiting for you inside."
Pan Yi pulled Valentina in, and sure enough, Abu was already sitting on the sofa inside.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with my arrangement?" Abu smiled broadly.
"It's okay..." Pan Yi pointed around, "How much does this plane cost?"
"It's not expensive, less than 100 million pounds."
"Uh...it seems really not expensive." Pan Yi coughed lightly.
Okay, that's very Abu.
But it is true that compared with his yacht, this plane is indeed not very expensive.
"I also have two Boeing private jets, worth about 50 to 60 million pounds. I'm afraid you'll dislike it, so I won't let anyone fly them over." Abu said with a smile, "What do you think? Are you interested? If you
If you really helped me win the Seven Crowns, it’s not impossible for me to give you one.”
"Oh...ahem..." Pan Yi was really speechless now.
Tens of millions of pounds, just give it away!
After hesitating for a moment, Pan Yi asked: "This thing... burns a lot of oil, doesn't it?"
——
Sunshine, beach.
Pan Yi patted his butt, stood up, and walked on the beach.
Valentina went to the beach to buy a drink, and he stood up and moved around.
This is a beach oasis located in northern Chile surrounded by the Atacama Desert.
Like the tropics, it has warm weather all year round, and the clear water and sandy scenery attract a steady stream of tourists. It is also one of the most popular beaches in Chile.
Now on this beach, there are many colorful bikinis.
They lay there quietly, looking at the undulating mountains from a distance, attracting the attention of many people.
There are poems to prove it:
Viewed horizontally, it looks like a ridge and a peak on the side, with different heights near and far.
Of course, why would Pan Yi focus on these peaks?
He was listening to the fans next to him discussing yesterday's game.
In the group match between Brazil and Colombia last night, the Brazilian team actually lost to their opponent 0:1.
In the past two rounds of the group stage, there was only one win and one loss, and qualifying was not guaranteed.
Pan Yi didn't go to watch this game.
The main reason is that the beautiful scenery of this beach is too attractive. He still likes it here more and is too lazy to run around.
After working hard all season, can't you enjoy it?
Besides, Chile is the narrowest country in the world, and it really takes a long time to go from north to south.
"The boys are still too tired..." Pan Yi thought.
David Luiz played the entire game in the Champions League final, and although Willian and Ramires did not play, the fatigue caused by the long flight is difficult to avoid.
In addition, Neymar, Alves and other Brazilian main players also represented Barcelona in the Champions League final. This may be the reason for the poor performance of the Brazilian team.
Although they won in the first round, it was only a difficult 2:1 victory over Peru.
Pan Yi was shaking his head when suddenly a graceful woman winked at him: "Handsome man, do you want to watch football?"
Pan Yi was stunned: "Watching a ball? What ball are you watching?"
The woman was seen wearing a mediocre bikini, but she was obviously very frugal. The clothes were made of very little material, and what was covered could be seen clearly.
This object ripples with even breathing, and a delicate necklace is trapped in it, which is even more eye-catching.
"What do you think?" The woman was adjusting her shoulder straps as she spoke, and even pretended not to hold them up with her hands, which fully demonstrated the elasticity of spherical objects under the influence of gravity.
Pan Yi:O_O.
"Are you from the Dragon Kingdom?" The woman complained, "I always thought this thing was too big. I heard that the medical skills of the Dragon Kingdom are very good. Can you help me treat it?"
"Uh... that's not necessary." Pan Yi's expression suddenly became resolute, "Have you finished speaking? I'm going back."
Then Pan Yi said to the woman’s back:
"Hey? Are you back? This lady was asking me about the medical skills of the Dragon Kingdom just now... Do you believe it?"
Behind this woman, it was Valentina who was glaring angrily.
She suddenly stepped forward and pulled Pan Yi away, then glared at the woman with an expression of "declaring sovereignty", then turned and left.
When they returned to their beach chairs, the person Valentina glared at became Pan Yi.
Just as Pan Yi was about to explain, the phone rang, which temporarily relieved him.
"Huh? Bamford wants to leave the team?"
——
The call was from Steve Holland.
The thing is very simple, that is, Crystal Palace has taken a fancy to Bamford and wants to buy him.
"Due to Lukaku's outstanding performance and good physique, Bamford will not have many opportunities to play this season. And Crystal Palace promised to give him the main position, which is why he has the intention to leave." Steve Holland said.
.
"What about Bamford's own thoughts?"
"He does want more playing opportunities." Steve Holland added, "But he doesn't want to really leave the team and should be more inclined to join on loan."
"Oh, I see."
After hanging up the phone, Pan Yi thought for a while.
Although Lukaku's current ability does seem to completely cover Bamford, a team that wants to compete for seven championships cannot have one center playing until death.
Besides, sometimes Pan Yi will resort to a double center tactic, and Bamford's tactical role is still very obvious at this time.
Nowadays, Chelsea's forward players, such as Hazard, Lingard, Gnabry and others, although they can reach the front, they all lack the impact of a true center and it is difficult to replace Bamford's role.
.
Originally, Chelsea's current lineup is already very neat. Whether it is forward, midfielder or defense, there are basically two or more players competing for each position, or there are qualified substitutes.
In addition, many players such as Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, including Ake, Loftus-Cheek and others can play in multiple positions. Rounding up, there can be three or four players in each position that can be rotated.
Therefore, Pan Yi's plan is that Chelsea will not make any big moves in the transfer market this summer.
Retaining the current team and maintaining the team's competitiveness is the team's first priority.
At most, it would be enough to go to the youth team and promote one or two kids.
Don't forget that Mbappe has already made his first team debut and scored his first goal. This guy has grown up tremendously!
This is why Pan Yi can go to South America for vacation and watch football with peace of mind.
But now it seems that he still takes things too simply.
If you don't want to move, someone wants to move you.
The main reason is that if the players have the idea of moving, then even if you try to persuade them, the effect will be average.
Just like Bamford, what he needs is playing time. Will Pan Yi promise to give him more time?
Firstly, this is unrealistic, and secondly, this is not the way Pan Yi likes to do things.
After all, who plays and who doesn't still depends on the player's strength and condition.
You promised him time, but what about Lukaku? What will other players think?
If one situation is not handled well, the atmosphere in the locker room may be in trouble.
And what if you don’t promise the time and don’t release the person? The situation will only get worse.
Players are in the team with emotions. Although Bamford cannot be said to have an important position in the locker room, it will always affect other people.
Therefore, when Pan Yi heard the news, he was already thinking about any replacement candidates...
It has never been Pan Yi's style to forcefully keep people in the team!
Besides, Bamford doesn't really want to transfer. His choice to leave the team on loan shows that he still has deep feelings for the team.
Just wait until you return from school and serve your home team!
As for why Crystal Palace takes an interest in Bamford, of course it is because the young England center performed very well last season.
He scored more than a dozen goals for Chelsea in various competitions in his limited playing time!
This is already a very impressive report card for a substitute forward.
You know, Crystal Palace's top scorer in the Premier League last season, Murray, only scored 7 goals.
Crystal Palace's introduction of Bamford will definitely greatly enhance their strength on the front line.
In addition, judging from the recent transfer rumors that broke out in various media, it seems that the players Pan Yi has led have all become popular, but today someone has really reached out to Chelsea.
The first is Manchester City, who are already discussing De Bruyne's transfer with Bayern Munich.
Although De Bruyne's performance at Bayern this season cannot be said to be top-notch, it is still first-rate and helped Bayern win the Bundesliga championship again.
Therefore, he has also been spotted by wealthy Manchester City, and it is said that he has offered a price of 80 million to 100 million euros.
Bayern coach Guardiola also maintained an open attitude towards the matter, which made Pan Yi wonder whether Manchester City and Guardiola had already reached a private agreement, and that Guardiola would go directly to Manchester City when his contract expires.
In this way, Guardiola can complete the operation of "selling De Bruyne to himself in advance", which is similar to what Allegri did with Pirlo.
Then there is Liverpool. Their ace star Sterling has been tempted by Manchester City and is close to leaving the team, so they are also looking for a replacement.
Among the scandal targets, the one closest to him is Egyptian Pharaoh Salah.
In addition, Liverpool has also expressed great interest in Van Dijk, Robertson and others, and there is likely to be substantial contact in the future.
Another person who is close to a successful transfer is Son Heung-min.
Tottenham have already offered a price of 30 million to 40 million euros for the Korean star. I believe it will be difficult for the Bundesliga team to refuse such an offer.
Paulinho, whose performance for Tottenham was mediocre last season, was poached by Dragon Country's Changzhou Hengtai team at a high price.
Of course, it’s not just BIG6 taking action.
For example, Southampton, which performed well last season, also started to think about it after receiving a large bonus.
Not only do they want to compete with Liverpool (sixth and seventh in the Premier League, only 2 points away), they also directly offer the team's forward Mane to AC Milan!
Is it outrageous that a small team from an inconspicuous Premier League would dare to buy players from Serie A giants?
Not outrageous at all.
In recent years, Serie A has been losing a lot of stars, and the destination is often the Premier League.
Not to mention that Milan is still half-dead at this time. Even in Pan Yi's previous life, in the summer window after Milan regained the Serie A championship, they competed with non-BIG6 Premier League teams for talents, but they never won.
Competing with BIG6? Sorry, I can’t afford the person BIG6 likes, so let’s pass!
Having money is the last word!
In short, after these few seasons, everyone seems to understand the truth: the players Pan Yi likes and plays are definitely good players!
Especially the Premier League teams that were "baptized" by Chelsea last season...
So it is not surprising that everyone started to focus on those "Pan Yi type" players to spend money.
Only today, a team finally reached out to Chelsea.
Although, Pan Yi also thinks that Crystal Palace has a really good vision and has taken a fancy to Bamford, a potential stock;
But if everyone comes to Chelsea to hunt them down, even if the Chelsea family has a great business, they will be hunted down one day!
Therefore, Pan Yi made another call to Steve Holland:
"Tell Crystal Palace that Bamford is an important member of Chelsea Club and is part of the team's youth training. We will definitely not sell him."
"Leasing is the only option, there can be no buyout clause, and the player's playing time in the team must be guaranteed."
"In addition, we need to bear 100% of the players' wages, plus an additional monthly payment... Let them look at the quotation first."
Bamford cannot promise playing time in his own team, but if he is rented out, he must be guaranteed by the other party.
Otherwise, how can we ensure the effectiveness of players’ training outside?
After all, he will come back after the loan is over.
Then, this lease cannot be for nothing, there will always be a price to pay.
Just like in Pan Yi's previous life, Chelsea spent 11 million euros on loan from Atletico Madrid's Felix in just half a season.
The monthly cost of 1.93 million euros has become the most expensive rental transaction in history.
This does not include Chelsea's 4 million salary that needs to be borne by Felix.
Now of course Bamford is not up to Felix's level, and Crystal Palace can't afford that much money, but Pan Yi just needs them to spend some blood and show some sincerity!
Chelsea does not lack the money, but this is an attitude!
Otherwise, if everyone comes here to have sex for free, this “taxi” will still not be able to open!?
When Pan Yi said this, Steve Holland understood and immediately took action.
Soon, Crystal Palace received an official response from Chelsea: Bamford is not for sale and can only reluctantly accept a loan and cannot be bought out. However, if there is no suitable offer, the club still hopes that Bamford can stay with the team.
Contribute to the team... and so on.
Crystal Palace saw this reply and understood.
So they tentatively made their first offer.
It roughly means bearing 80% of the player's salary and providing an additional 100,000 euros in monthly rental fees.
Faced with this offer, Chelsea did not reject it directly. Instead, they faxed back a point data sheet to Crystal Palace, which included Bamford's playing time, number of goals, assists, and outstanding game scores at Chelsea last season.
The Crystal Palace uniform staff stared at the fax and felt that there was one sentence written between the lines:
If it’s not enough, you have to pay more!
In the end, the deal was completed.
It is exactly according to Pan Yi's intention to ensure the position of the regular starting team, 100% of the salary, plus an additional rental fee of 500,000 euros per month.
about there.
Let others help you train the little demon without having to pay the salary yourself, and you can still make millions of dollars back. This deal is still very cost-effective.
Just like this, Pan Yi really needs to prepare a replacement for Bamford.
He has also seen the list of the current Chelsea reserve team and youth team members, and indeed there is no one who can really step up.
For example, there is a Croatian center Perica in the U21 youth team. He is 192cm tall and has strong jumping and heading abilities, but he is too slow and very inflexible.
A player with such characteristics can only be used as a standing center, which does not meet Pan Yi's all-round needs for a center.
Another center, Tammy Abraham, is also 194cm tall and not slow, but he is only 17 years old and is still a bit too young technically.
It may be okay to be promoted to the first team to practice at that time, but it is still too early to become a regular player.
The most important thing is that Pan Yi has already reserved such a "young seedling position" for next season...
If that doesn't work, it would be okay to let Mbappe play center.
Although he prefers to play as a winger, he is only 16 years old now and can train.
What, why do you think Mbappe was given priority when he is one year younger than Abraham?
What is this, can Mu always be compared to ordinary players?!
Even in Pan Yi's previous life, Mbappe made his Ligue 1 debut at the age of 16, breaking Henry's record as the youngest player to make his first-team league debut in the history of Monaco.
In that season, he played 11 times for the team in Ligue 1 and scored goals;
Then he became the main player of Monaco in the next season, at the age of 17, and helped the team win the French Ligue 1 championship. He also eliminated strong teams such as Manchester City and Dortmund, and reached the Champions League semi-finals in one fell swoop.
In these important Champions League games, he scored key goals in almost every game!
That is, after this season, Mbappe entered the talented French national team and gradually became the main force. Then in 2018, he lifted the second Hercules Gold Cup in history with the French team.
And Abraham was 16 years old. When he was 17, he could only play in the youth team. He didn't make his Premier League debut until he was 18 and played two games, and then he was loaned out to some English Championship teams.
It was not until 2019 that the 22-year-old Abraham became Chelsea's main force, but it did not last long before he was sold to Roma.
As for his national team career, he is even more mediocre and can be said to be not worth mentioning.
Such a resume is obviously incomparable to Mbappe.
In this life, both of them are under Pan Yi's account. Who do you think Pan Yi will choose to train first?
The answer is very clear.
Of course, this does not mean that with Mbappe there will be no need for signings.
He is very strong, but at this age he is still a little bit far from being very awesome.
Pan Yi shouted out the bold words of winning seven championships next season, but the team still needs some immediate combat capabilities.
Apart from anything else, Abu couldn't spend his money yet! Pan Yi still had to think of a way.
But don’t worry, it’s still a long time before the season starts.
Pan Yi can completely work remotely in South America and then slowly find someone.
With his current connections in European football, many things are just a phone call away.
So he still chose to stay on this beautiful beach in Chile.
You can also watch the game while watching the game.
