In terms of age, Su Yun is one year older than Abu. Abu was born in 1966, while Su Yun was born in 1965.
Finally Su Yun met the legendary mysterious rich man.
I had only seen pictures of him in newspapers before, but today was the first time I saw him in person. Abramovich is not very tall, about the same height as Su Yun.
When Abu saw Su Yun, he stood up with a smile.
"Coach Su, hello."
"Hello, Mr. Chairman."
Abramovich is of Jewish descent, but he is also a wealthy Russian man. Su Yun already knew Russian when he was in China. This is related to the fact that Su Yun grew up in the Northeast.
Su Yun is also a language genius.
Su Yun, who grew up in the Northeast, was already able to speak Korean, Japanese and Russian when he was twenty years old. Of course, he was not the most fluent in the languages at that time. But after joining the national team, Su Yun worked very hard on foreign languages.
By the time he was twenty-two years old, Su Yun had mastered these three languages very fluently.
Therefore, there is no problem in communication between Su Yun and Abu.
This is the benefit of mastering a foreign language.
Money is really a good thing.
Thirty-six-year-old Abu seemed very confident when he spoke.
I don't know if she was his secretary. Anyway, it was a very young woman who made coffee for Abu and Su Yun and then left the office. Only Abu and Su Yun were left in the office.
"Coach Su, everyone around me says that you are one of the youngest and most outstanding coaches in the Premier League. I know that your contract is about to expire. If you are willing, we can discuss the contract."
Abu went straight to the point.
First, I asked about Su Yun’s contract.
Su Yun nodded.
In fact, Su Yun has been waiting to negotiate a contract with Chelsea. He has also been waiting for the new boss to meet with him.
"Mr. President, I am happy to renew my contract with Chelsea."
But yes, yes, but Su Yun needs to clarify some issues.
So Su Yun paused, then made up his mind and said seriously: "Mr. Chairman, there is one thing I want to say. How the club operates or how to make money, I have no interest in these. And I don't care, I don't
Rights control. Because I’m just a coach.”
Abu listened to Su Yun's words very carefully.
"So I have only one request. I am a head coach and I am only responsible for the team. I don't want the club's senior management to interfere within the team."
This must be ensured.
It doesn't matter who is the boss. This is the tradition of British football, and Su Yun hopes that everyone can follow this tradition.
Abu nodded.
"This is what it should be. Otherwise, why would we need a coach?"
Su Yun was overjoyed.
It turns out that it is easier to talk to this rich man.
But Abu's next words made Su Yun's expression condensed.
Abramovich asked: "Coach Su, what do you think of Nesta? Henry is also good. Vieira is also good."
Su Yun didn't know what to say.
What exactly does this Russian tycoon mean?
Does he think he can buy any well-known players? This is about building a team, not buying well-known players.
"People around me tell me that Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy is very good."
Su Yun was really speechless after listening to Abu's words.
This is a very rich man.
But he is definitely a layman when it comes to football.
Maybe Abramovich also noticed it. He quickly returned to his original appearance and said: "What players do you need to transform your team?"
Su Yun knew that the important moment had arrived.
"I wonder what results Mr. Chairman hopes to achieve?"
Abu smiled slightly. "Champion."
"If we want to win a general domestic cup championship, our lineup is enough. Whether it is the FA Cup championship or the League Cup championship, we at Chelsea have the strength to win it. If we want to win the Premier League championship, we need to buy two or three players.
If we want to win the Champions League, we need more players."
After hearing Su Yun's words, Abu stood up and returned to his seat.
Very powerful.
"Coach Su, I don't want to ask you what players to buy. Just make a list of the players you want. Money is not an issue."
Su Yun was stunned for a moment.
What is arrogance?
This is called pride.
money is not a problem.
Although he didn't finish the sentence, the meaning was obvious. The Russian rich man in front of him didn't care about money at all. He could offer a price for the players Su Yun wanted.
Su Yun really wanted to ask Abramovich.
How much money are you prepared to invest in the transfer market?
But I'm sorry to ask.
But Abramovich seemed to understand Su Yun's thoughts and said slowly: "I have prepared 150 million pounds for this summer transfer."
Depend on!
Holy shit!
Su Yun almost cursed.
One hundred and fifty million pounds.
crazy.
With this amount of money, Su Yun can definitely form a championship team. Although Su Yun spent a lot of money at Sunderland and Chelsea, the total investment does not amount to 100 million pounds.
But Su Yun built strong English teams at Sunderland and Chelsea.
Now suddenly a transfer fee of 150 million pounds came, and Su Yun's body froze.
too suddenly.
Su Yun observed Abu and found that it was definitely not a joke.
Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
Suddenly the pressure increased.
The Russian rich man in front of him dares to spend so much money, so his expectations for the team's performance must be very high. As long as his results next season are slightly unsatisfactory, his life will be sad.
However, Su Yun quickly drove away this pressure.
What is pressure?
As a head coach in these years, when is there no pressure? When there is pressure, there is motivation.
It's a bit far-fetched to think about this now.
It's better to think carefully about how to use these transfer fees.
One hundred and fifty million pounds.
Many players who could only dream about but did not dare to introduce in the past now have the opportunity to introduce them.
…………
Su Yun didn't have many thoughts about Abu's first meeting.
First of all, this guy is definitely a layman in the football world. He doesn’t know much about football, and he even knows almost nothing about it. Look at what he knows about players, he actually listens to the people around him.
But this guy is very generous.
Su Yun liked this.
One hundred and fifty million pounds.
After returning from Abramovich, Su Yun even felt like he was dreaming. Even Cragnotti, the chairman of Lazio at that time, did not have such a big deal.
money.
This is money.
"Brother, why are you so absorbed in your thoughts?"
Su Yun raised his head and saw **. He saw that this boy was in a very good mood, with a smile on his face.
"No. How's it going?"
** is negotiating a new contract with Chelsea on behalf of Su Yun.
"Of course, who am I?" ** felt comfortable. He took out a cup of Coke from the refrigerator. Su Yun felt like he was at home here. "Brother, this time I negotiated a big contract for you."
**Hold out four fingers.
"Brother, four million pounds. Annual salary of four million pounds, three-year contract."
** was very excited when she said it.
Four million pounds.
This is currently the highest salary for a Premier League head coach. It is three times higher than Su Yun’s previous salary.
Not only in the Premier League. Even in European football, Su Yun's salary ranks among the top. The salaries of famous European coaches, including Hitzfeld, Lippi, and Del Bosque, are not as good as Su Yun's.
Of course, Abu is not afraid of spending money.
There are also various championship bonuses in the contract, which are far more than the contract under Bates.
**There is reason to be happy.
Because he won Su Yun the highest contract in the head coaching industry. Such a high contract came from his own hands, which is a brilliant deal no matter how you look at it.
**Predicted the development of football before.
At that time, he thought that the head coach's salary would get higher and higher. But he himself did not expect that Su Yun's salary would reach four million pounds in such a short period of time.
Su Yun nodded slightly.
No fuss.
Although Su Yun's popularity in China has been greatly affected after the Chinese national team entered the World Cup. However, Su Yun's advertising revenue has always been very high.
The national team's defeat in the World Cup made fans focus on Su Yun again.
Su Yun's annual advertising endorsement fees now far exceed his salary.
Therefore, there is no need to make a fuss about the higher salary.
"By the way, brother. What were you thinking about just now?"
"Do you know how much transfer fee Abramovich has prepared for me?"
"How many?"
Su Yun glanced at **, and then suddenly chuckled: "One hundred and fifty million pounds."
Even ** was shocked.
But it was just the beginning. Su Yun continued: "He told me that I just need to write his name to whomever I want. Money is not an issue."
**Open your mouth wide.
"Brother, you don't plan to use all this money."
One hundred and fifty million pounds.
This money is too much.
Su Yun shook his head, but then nodded again. "I don't know. Anyway, let's try it out first. This is the first time I have seen so much money as a head coach in so many years. Of course I will bring in all the players I like. Haha.
"
Su Yun is also a little stupid now.
Su Yun was really not used to having so much money suddenly in his hands at first.
But now Su Yun slowly calmed down.
I also started to have some ideas of my own.
"Haha. Brother, don't be stingy. Buy all the players you can buy, as long as the results are good."
Su Yun looked at **, smiled and shook his head.
"**, although you are a top student and know a lot, you are still a layman about football. You don't understand. Spending money is also an art."
**Didn’t argue with Su Yunqiang.
"But I heard from the outside that Chelsea wants to buy Beckham, Thierry Henry and Ronaldo. This is too unreliable."
"As a head coach, I don't even want to buy anyone. It's all nonsense outside."
Su Yun didn't know how the news from the outside came out. There was news everywhere that Chelsea wanted to buy people, from Premier League superstars such as Beckham, Henry, and Vieira to European superstars such as Zidane, Ronaldo, and Figo.
Inside.
Su Yun himself didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Even if Su Yun really wants to buy them, they still look down on Chelsea.
