Cole is 17 years old.
This is Chelsea's regular first-team lineup this season.
There are old and young players, and there are also players who are in their 27s and 88s. The age structure is very reasonable.
Too old doesn't work, and too young doesn't work either.
Su Yun is very satisfied with the current age structure.
After leaving Deschamps, Wise, Poyet and others, Su Yun retained Di Matteo. In fact, Di Matteo suffered a lot of injuries last season and played very few games.
But as long as he plays, Di Matteo's performance is very good.
Di Matteo himself is already preparing to retire.
Di Matteo believes that his body is no longer able to continue playing games. And Di Matteo has a pursuit.
His health was not good, so he took the coaching certificate early. Like Deschamps, Di Matteo also hoped to be a coach in the future. Su Yun also fulfilled Di Matteo's wish and let him join his coaching team.
However, although he was allowed to join his coaching team, Su Yun still persuaded Di Matteo.
Su Yun hopes that Di Matteo can continue to play for another season.
Su Yun doesn't expect Di Matteo to actually play. Su Yun kept Di Matteo because he was purging too many veterans. Although Su Yun wants to rejuvenate, it doesn't mean that the team is all young people.
A team composed entirely of young people is very dangerous.
Although Alan Hansen said "You can't win the championship with a baby!" back then, although it became a big joke, this sentence is definitely not wrong.
It is difficult to win the championship with a group of kids.
Manchester United's 1992 generation miracle is not so easy to copy.
Su Yun kept Di Matteo just to protect the team's experience.
Di Matteo also accepted Su Yun's persuasion and planned to stay at Chelsea for one season.
…………
When the English media were surprised by Manchester United's generosity, several giants in European football told Premier League clubs what it meant to be bold!
You in the Premier League are just a few upstarts.
Mendieta, who performed extremely well in Valencia, jumped to Serie A and came to Lazio.
Lazio had just sold Veron and brought in Mendieta.
And it’s not at all lower than Veron’s price.
The price of 28.9 million pounds, converted into euros, is 48 million euros.
The English team immediately knew the gap. Look at Lazio in Serie A. There are many players who are better than Lazio in terms of history and strength. But they can only spend so much money.
Although Mendieta is a very famous midfielder in La Liga, the nearly 30 million pounds is still a bit high.
Lazio introduced Mendieta. It dwarfed Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and the previously arrogant Leeds United in the Premier League.
Which of these top Premier League teams is as generous as Lazio?
Of course this is not the most surprising thing.
The most surprising one is Real Madrid.
Florentino is definitely a giant in European football. This person is not simple.
When he first became the chairman of Real Madrid, he gave the world football a big surprise. He paid the liquidated damages and poached the captain of rival Barcelona, Figo. Figo's arrival at Real Madrid was the biggest news in European football last summer.
The storm that was set off still has reverberations to this day.
There are absolutely very few players in European football who can poach the captain of their rivals like Florentino.
It is only Florentino who has created such a huge momentum. This is the football giant Florentino.
But Florentino was still not satisfied.
His actions this summer stunned everyone.
He paid a record 64 million pounds, which was 75 million euros in euros.
Florentino used this record-breaking transfer fee to introduce Zidane, who is currently known as the best midfielder in the world.
It goes without saying that Zidane is very strong.
Having led the French team to consecutive World Cups and European Cups, many people in France even believe that Zidane has surpassed Platini.
He is now as famous as Ronaldo and is currently the most outstanding player in world football.
But it shouldn’t be so expensive!
Zidane is already twenty-nine years old now.
64 million pounds.
Su Yun would never dare to dream of spending 60 million pounds for a player. Even if Zidane is currently the best player in the world, Su Yun is stunned that his worth can reach 64 million pounds. But Real Madrid does this
, and there was no hesitation at all. During the media meeting, Florentino spoke even more eloquently.
He made a promise to Real Madrid members.
He will bring a world-class superstar to Real Madrid every year.
How courageous this is.
In the current world football, how many world-class superstars can be compared with Figo and Zidane? And since Florentino dares to make such bold statements, then the players he wants to introduce must be Figo and Zidane.
A player of this level.
This is Florentino.
Like Su Yun, he doesn't even dare to dream of a superstar. Florentino dares to say that he will introduce a superstar to Real Madrid every year. This is the most outstanding club spirit in the 20th century.
It’s okay not to accept it.
Of course, Juventus, who sold Zidane to Real Madrid, are also unambiguous.
Then he turned around and bought Buffon for a goalkeeper record price of 51.5 million euros. Of course, Juventus, as the top Italian club, did not just buy Buffon alone.
Thuram was acquired for 36.5 million euros, and Nedved was acquired for 41.5 million euros.
More than 100 million euros were thrown away in one summer.
Of course, if Zidane had not been sold, Juventus probably would not have been so crazy. But even if Zidane was sold, Juventus would still be crazy enough.
These people are crazy.
Su Yun could only think so.
The whole European football world should be crazy.
Thirty million euros, forty million euros, fifty million euros, seventy million euros.
What is this all about?
Even if Su Yun buys a player for more than 10 million pounds from Chelsea, he needs to think twice. But Real Madrid and Juventus can throw out tens of millions of euros for a player without blinking an eye.
This is courage.
Looking at Nedvěd's net worth, Su Yun really feels sorry for Boboski.
In the European Cup five years ago, the Czech national team was a blockbuster. It became the most dazzling national team in the European Cup at that time. Among the Czech national team at that time, Boboski was far more famous than Nedved.
There are far more wealthy clubs interested in Boschi than those interested in Nedvěd.
But five years flew by in the blink of an eye.
Nedved and Boboski, who were high-spirited at the time, are now almost thirty years old.
The situations of the two are completely different.
Nedved is worth more than 40 million euros and has now joined the giant Juventus. Moreover, Nedved came to Juventus as Zidane's successor.
Bobosky is different.
His performance last season was very poor, so he was brought to Chelsea by Su Yun at a very cheap price.
It's really unfair.
…………
Of course, these are just what Su Yun thought of when he had nothing to do.
Sometimes Su Yun is really envious.
When I was coaching Dagenham and Manchester United, Su Yun thought: If one day I can coach a giant, I will buy three Keanes. One will play, one will sit on the bench, and one will watch from the stands.
Contest.
I envy you to death.
Of course it was just a delusion at the time.
Because of that envy, Su Yun left Dagenham and went to Sunderland, and then from Sunderland to Chelsea.
At Chelsea, Su Yun envied Real Madrid and Juventus.
How great would it be if one day I could spend tens of millions of euros on a superstar?
Just envious.
The work must continue.
Su Yun actually didn't have much time.
Although there are no international competitions this summer, Su Yun can't rest at all. After returning to the club, he has been busy in the transfer market. After the dust settled in the transfer market, he found that the game is very close to him.
Not long after the team gathered, Su Yun was about to play a game. It was an earlier cup match before the English League.
Charity Shield match.
Although the name is unique, it is actually a cup that everyone is familiar with.
In other countries, this cup is called the Super Cup. The Charity Shield, as its name implies, is the English Super Cup.
It is a match between the league champions and cup champions. Just like Spain is a matchup between the La Liga champions and the Copa del Rey champions, Italy is a matchup between the Serie A champions and the Coppa Italia champions.
It's just that England has two cup competitions.
League Cup and FA Cup.
Because the FA Cup is the more influential cup competition in England, the Charity Shield match is a match between the Premier League champion and the FA Cup champion.
But there are differences.
It's different from countries like Spain, Italy, and Germany. They still attach some importance to the Super Cup, but it's different in England.
Charity Shield. Although it is also a cup in England.
But the degree of emphasis is different.
The Charity Shield in England is just like a warm-up match.
It doesn’t mean that we attach importance to it, but it doesn’t mean that we don’t attach importance to it at all. Those strong teams will treat this game as a warm-up match. Use this game to warm up for the league.
Chelsea was the FA Cup champion last season, and Manchester United was the Premier League champion last season. Before the start of the league, Su Yun will lead Chelsea to face the powerful Premier League hegemon Manchester United.
