Fortunately, this incident did not continue to cause greater waves, because another major event occurred that distracted attention, and that was the successful transfer of French forward Anelka to Chelsea before the end of the winter transfer period.
On January 11, Chelsea officially announced the signing of Bolton Wanderers’ French striker Anelka. According to Bolton’s official website, Anelka’s transfer fee was 15 million pounds. The contract details were not disclosed by both parties, but according to the British “Sky”
According to Sport and L'Equipe, the Frenchman's contract lasts for four and a half years until 2012.
Since it was confirmed that Drogba and Kalou will leave the team to participate in the African Cup of Nations, Chelsea has been looking for a suitable forward to replace them and the unstable Shevchenko. Anelka is this
One of the most sought-after players in the winter transfer market, Chelsea was also the first club to express interest in the Frenchman to Bolton. However, the Blues' first offer of 10 million pounds was rejected by Bolton because the latter held Arsenal.
Nerka's long-term contract lasted for three and a half years, and Chelsea finally had no choice but to accept the £15 million transfer fee demanded by Bolton despite being at a disadvantage.
As early as the beginning of this season, Anelka expressed the idea of wanting to go to a higher-level club. Bolton coach Megson also understood the Frenchman's thoughts, so he did not make too many efforts to retain him, but asked Chelsea
Pressure. Blues coach Grant spoke directly in front of the media a few days ago, hoping that the club can win Anelka before the London derby with Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend. It turned out to be what he wished, but with
At the same time, the Israelis also spent 15 million pounds on Abramovich, which was the second big spender by the Russians in recent times.
Anelka was born in Váceres, France on March 14, 1979. He plays as a forward. The Frenchman came to Arsenal from Paris Saint-Germain in 1997 for 500,000 pounds and became famous at Arsenal.
In the two and a half seasons in the Arsenal, Anelka scored a total of 28 goals in all competitions; in 1999, Anelka went to Real Madrid for 23 million pounds, but his experience in Spain was very important to Anelka.
It was like a nightmare for Anelka; on July 1, 2000, Anelka left Real Madrid and transferred back to Paris Saint-Germain; on December 21, 2001, he was loaned to Liverpool for half a year during the winter transfer period; in June 2002
On January 7, he joined Manchester City for 13 million pounds; on January 31, 2005, Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce bought Anelka for 7 million pounds; on August 25, 2006, Bolton signed for 8 million pounds.
The British pound brought Anelka back to England and he has played there to this day. Interestingly, Anelka changed clubs four times during the winter transfer period in 1997, 2001, 2005 and this transfer. In addition,
Anelka's cumulative transfer fee from 8 transfers was as high as 84.8 million pounds, surpassing Veron and becoming the world's highest cumulative transfer value. Veron's total worth in 7 transfers was 77.2 million pounds.
As of the 21st round of the Premier League, Anelka has scored a total of 10 league goals for Bolton, accounting for half of the team's goals. He ranks third in the Premier League scorer list, second only to Manchester United's youngster.
Ronaldinho and Arsenal's Adebayor, but Anelka's goal efficiency is higher than the first two. Ronaldinho scored 13 goals in 60 shots, Adebayor scored 12 goals in 54 shots, and
Anelka scored 10 goals in 40 shots. The current points gap between Chelsea and the league's top two Arsenal and Manchester United is 6 points and 4 points respectively. Anelka will be Grant's team's champion.
Important chess piece. In addition, because Bolton only participated in the UEFA Cup this season, Anelka is also eligible to compete in the Champions League for Chelsea. This has also been Anelka's long-standing wish. Anelka is representing Arsenal.
, three clubs, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, participated in the Champions League and scored 8 goals.
Among the current Chelsea forwards, Drogba and Kalou returned to China to participate in the African Cup and will not be able to return to the team until early February at the earliest. Shevchenko is constantly injured, and the Ukrainian has never fully adapted to English football. He came from Bayern on a free transfer in the summer.
Peruvian forward Pizarro has only scored 1 goal in the league so far. Anelka, who is already comfortable in the Premier League, will undoubtedly be the most important scoring piece in Grant's team. After Anelka moved to Chelsea
, and basically announced that another Chelsea target - Tottenham striker Berbatov will stay at White Hart Lane, and the Bulgarian will continue to play for Tottenham for the remaining half of the season...
However, Anelka's character is really problematic, unruly, withdrawn and arrogant, because he has almost never peacefully coexisted with a head coach, and many players also have a bad relationship with him.
Arsenal coach Wenger was the first coach Anelka offended. It is no exaggeration to say that Wenger was Anelka's boss. It was Anelka who was brought to Arsenal by Wenger.
Only then did he fully demonstrate his talent and become a hot new star. However, in the summer of 1999, Anelka and his mentor Wenger were at loggerheads over the transfer issue. Wenger accused Anelka that he should not only think about
Money, and even said the famous saying "No matter how rich you are, you can only eat three meals a day and sleep on one bed", but Anelka insisted on leaving and attacked Wenger for obstructing his football dream.
.In this way, the former master and apprentice became a pair of "enemies".
After leaving Arsenal, Anelka joined Real Madrid. Anelka spent an unsatisfactory year. He only scored 4 goals in 35 games in a season. This is definitely a sad past that Anelka does not want to look back on.
Anelka fled the Bernabeu two years later. Unexpectedly, after leaving Real Madrid, Anelka directly pointed the finger at the then Real Madrid coach Del Bosque, saying that it was Del Bosque's tactical arrangements that ruined his career in Real Madrid.
Future. But in fact, in the 1999-2000 season, Del Bosque led Real Madrid to win the Champions League under extremely unfavorable circumstances. Anelka's poor condition was more due to himself than to Del Bosque's improper employment.
After the French team won the 2000 European Championship, he had a bad relationship with the national team coach Le Maire and missed the 2002 World Cup. At first, Anelka and Le Maire had a good relationship, but before the start of the 2002 World Cup
Soon, news broke that the relationship between the two was not good. The reason for the disagreement was that Anelka did not listen to the coach's tactical arrangements. In the end, Le Maire abandoned Anelka on the 23-man roster for the World Cup in South Korea and Japan.
Nerka chose Cisse. Of course, Anelka's poor condition became the best reason for Le Maire to abandon him. Even after receiving a call from Le Maire informing him that he would not be used, Anelka said
No. In 2006, the then French coach Domenech even used Govou rather than Anelka when Cisse broke his leg.
In September 2002, when Santini was coaching the French team, he called up Anelka midway when there were no players available. The latter flatly refused, and the French Football Association even threatened to impose a global ban on him. In November 2002, France
Before the friendly match between Serbia and Montenegro, Santini recruited Anelka to join the team, but the latter refused. "Unless Santini kneels down, I will consider whether to return to the national team." Anelka and Santini
The conflict was open. This was the reply given by Anelka. Santini's answer a week later was also tit for tat: "Whether Anelka plays with his left foot or his right foot, I have now decided
I don’t care anymore, there are 1,200 professional players in France, if there is one I would never consider, it would be Anelka!”
Because of a bad relationship with the coach, Anelka was constantly used as a bargaining chip by the team and became the target of being sold. He made his debut at Paris Saint-Germain and played for a total of 8 teams before coming to Shenhua - Saint-Germain
Germain, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool (on loan), Manchester City, Fenerbahce, Bolton and Chelsea. In his previous life, he bid farewell to Chelsea, and it was also revealed by the British media that he had disagreements with coach Villas-Boas.
However, we have to admit that this striker who has won the Premier League Golden Boot has an amazing ability to attract money. In January 2008, Chelsea spent 15 million pounds to buy Anelka from Bolton, which created a new Frenchman at the time.
World record - the total transfer fee for multiple transfers reached 85 million pounds, which is the highest in football history. This not only shows that he is not favored by the team, but also shows that he is a money-making machine.
However, the above is only what has happened now. The prince still has the memories of his previous life. In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, a shocking scandal broke out in the French team, and Anelka, the team's number one striker, was expelled.
The national team, this caused an uproar...
On June 18, 2010, France lost 0-2 to Mexico. During halftime, Domenech was not satisfied with the team's performance. He told Anelka, Ribery and Govou and other players that if the second half continued
If you do nothing, you will be substituted. Unexpectedly, Anelka angrily cursed "son of a filthy son of a bitch". Of course Domenech couldn't stand it, and he substituted Anelka before the start of the second half.
Next. After refusing to publicly apologize, the French Football Federation announced the dismissal of Anelka.
But these are all things on paper. The prince learned about it from the media in his previous life. Although it can only be said to have certain reference significance, who knows what kind of person Anelka is in real life?
Anelka's friends once said that he was a gentle and good man in life. Indeed, some details can give a glimpse of another side of Anelka. Every time after capturing the gate of his old club Arsenal, he
They all refused to celebrate. He stubbornly chose the No. 39 jersey because the area code of his home in Paris is 78, and 39 is half of 78, which means that no matter where he wanders, he will never forget his home. But life
Anelka in the movie is quiet and peaceful. He converted to Islam. He doesn’t drink or party. He only likes to go to the supermarket to see fish, or read books or watch movies at home. His favorite food is
Pizza, and my favorite drink is purified water.
The prince is thinking about this now because he knows that Anelka will stay at Chelsea for more than 5 seasons until he moves to the Chinese Super League Shanghai Shenhua. As the team's big-name forward, even if he is not the main player, he will be an important rotation player. If his relationship with the prince
No, the team will definitely be affected. This is also an issue that the leader should consider. He needs to think of a way to get along with the French, but it seems that he doesn't have a clue yet.
