() "Su, congratulations on sweeping Manchester United."
Congratulating Su Yun is Kenyon, who will soon take over as Chelsea CEO.
Although Kenyon came to Chelsea very early, he did not take up the post immediately due to the pressure from Manchester United. Su Yun also had not met this legendary figure who was about to become Chelsea CEO.
This was the first time Su Yun saw Kenyon.
Kenyon is a well-known name in British football, and even in European football as a whole. As the CEO of Manchester United, he has always been the one with the largest say in English football.
He and David Dunn are the two most powerful people in British football.
Moreover, he also has a strong say in the g14 league and is even very active.
He is such a character, but he rarely appears in front of the media.
Low profile.
Very low-key.
Kenyon is more low-key than people think.
Compared to the eccentric club presidents in English football, Kenyon is a very low-key person.
Even the reporters had a hard time finding him.
He usually does not appear in front of the media. He also does not like to appear in the public eye. He has always hidden behind the scenes to help Manchester United.
He is not handsome.
Bald head.
His mouth is very big when he smiles.
It is such a person who built Manchester United, the most commercially developed football club.
"Thanks, Peter."
Although Kenyon has not yet become the club's CEO, he has actually started working at Chelsea. But he will not appear in front of everyone, and everyone thinks he has disappeared.
Chelsea heavyweights like Su Yun knew that Kenyon had started work.
His first action after coming to Chelsea was to attack Paul Smith.
Paul Smith is a veteran employee of Chelsea and was the CEO of Chelsea during the Bates era.
Because he wanted to make way for Kenyon, Abramovich's intention was very simple. He wanted Paul Smith to get out. Of course, this was also to clean up the traces of the Bates era.
Bates has already been kicked out by Abramovich.
At first, he was given the title of Honorary Chairman, but now he has been completely kicked out by Abramovich. Abramovich wanted Chelsea fans not to reject him too much, so he kept Betts.
Now that it's all used up, Abramovich certainly doesn't need Bates anymore.
Bates is not a good-tempered person either.
Therefore, after leaving Chelsea and having a complete falling out with Abramovich, he began to curse Abramovich non-stop in front of the media. He called Abramovich a Russian bastard and kept scolding him.
But Abu ignored him.
Bates is just a dead dog that he kicked out. It's not worth arguing with Abu.
But Kenyon is different.
His first move after coming to Chelsea was not to clean up Paul Smith. Instead, he persuaded Abramovich to let Paul Smith stay at Chelsea.
Gave Paul Smith the position of Commercial Director.
Su Yun recognized this very much.
Kenyon is not a simple boy.
There are only two people today, Su Yun and Kenyon. These two people are also the two people with the most power at Chelsea besides Abramovich.
Kenyon Needless to say.
After becoming Chelsea CEO, he has great power. He even has a say in the transfer market.
And Su Yun is even more so.
After all, the core of a football club is the team. And Su Yun is the head coach of Chelsea. From the first team to the reserve team, the youth team is all under Su Yun's jurisdiction.
Su Yun was also responsible for Chelsea's previous transfers.
Although Su Yun rarely interferes in specific negotiations, those are within the scope of Su Yun's power.
In addition, the team is under Su Yun's control.
Therefore, in Chelsea, apart from Abramovich, Kenyon and Su Yun are the two poles of power. There will be many opportunities for the two of them to cooperate in the future.
"Su, to be precise, I'm not a fan."
After the two sat down, the first words Kenyon said surprised Su Yun.
Who is the person in front of me?
This is a major contributor to the expansion of Manchester United's influence to Asia and North America despite Manchester United's silence. A person with such a huge influence in football actually says that he is not a fan.
Kenyon continued: "For me, the number of times I watch the game in a season is probably less than ten times. Because I have no passion for football. I have no interest in football games."
"In my eyes, football is just a business."
Just a business.
Very frank.
But it surprised Su Yun. What does Kenyon mean?
"For me, Chelsea is very challenging. And Chelsea has all the conditions for success. Since Coach Su came to Chelsea, Chelsea's performance has been steadily rising. Five crowns, the Premier League championship, these championships have made Chelsea's influence
The power has risen sharply. In the Premier League, there are currently only three teams competing for the championship. Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea.”
Su Yun nodded.
In recent years, these three teams have been competing for the Premier League. Others such as Liverpool, Leeds United, and Newcastle are just foils. Their current goal is very simple, which is to fight for the last Champions League spot.
"But there are peaks and troughs. This is the same truth. The same is true for Manchester United. The 92 generation of Manchester United started to appear in 1995, and it has been eight years now. Their peak period has also passed, and Manchester United has to change its blood.
At that time, that is to say, within two or three years, it is impossible for them to compete for the championship.”
Not a fan?
But it’s better than the fans’ analysis.
Su Yun understood.
Many things in the world are actually similar. Kenyon may not understand too many football tactics, but he can see some of the development rules of football.
"As for Arsenal? Their glory is the end. A new stadium has not affected Arsenal yet. But soon everyone will find out how difficult it is to build a new stadium. Why do not many clubs in European football have it?
Courage to build a new stadium."
Kenyon is like a prophet.
Su Yun didn't reply.
Because Su Yun doesn't want to guess the future. What will happen in the future?
This kind of thing is not in Su Yun's consideration at all.
Su Yun is just a football coach.
All he does is how to coach the team.
But it seems that Kenyon is a very rational person. Seeing Kenyon, Su Yun thought of **. They are all the same kind of people.
When there are only a few things, you can find clues and predict what will happen in the future.
Very scary.
Seeing Su Yun in deep thought, Kenyon smiled and said: "Actually, Arsenal has already begun to have problems. This time Ashley Cole's contract renewal issue is just the beginning."
"David Dunn is a ruthless player. He is very capable and courageous. When it came to snatching Campbell, it was not just Arsenal who took action. In fact, I also took action. But I lost to David Dunn.
kindness."
"How could Ashley Cole's transfer have caused such a sensation in the past? He had already handled Ashley Cole's matter easily. But Arsenal is now beginning to be affected by the new stadium. A
A small contract renewal actually caused a stir in the city."
Kenyon sneered.
He looked very happy.
Although Kenyon and David Dunn did not fight in front of the media, their relationship was not good either.
"Manchester United and Arsenal have been the most important forces in the Premier League in recent years. But now they have reached a crossroads. This is the best time for Chelsea to rise. In other words, it is a perfect time for Chelsea to become the new hegemon of the Premier League."
"So here I am."
When Kenyon finally said "I'm coming", he was very powerful.
Even confident.
Su Yun didn't expect Kenyon to be so eloquent. Even Su Yun was excited when he said it. Indeed, Chelsea now is the best time.
Kenyon can tell.
I can really tell.
Compared to him, Su Yun was really silent.
"Coach Su, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future. I have talked with Mr. Abramovich, and I understand his thoughts. He hopes to make Chelsea's performance rise rapidly. I believe Coach Su Yun will be able to bring a lot to Chelsea."
champion."
"I don't care what Chelsea was like before. My idea now is very simple. From now on, if you want money, I will get it for you. I will help you bring in whoever you like. As long as it is Coach Su Yun, I will help you."
I can help you introduce them. And Coach Su, your task is very simple, which is to lead this team to win one honor after another."
"As for how you lead this team and how you manage this team, I will not have any involvement. Because I don't understand football and I am not a fan."
Su Yun smiled slightly.
Although it was their first time working together, Su Yun had a very good impression of Kenyon.
This man really knows his stuff.
No wonder he stayed at Manchester United for so long and led Manchester United to achieve so many brilliance.
I have never heard of any conflict between Kenyon and Ferguson.
Kenyon knows how to be a man.
Really nice person.
"Peter, I understand what you mean. Since I have received a salary of four million pounds, I will be worthy of this salary. If I am not worthy of this salary, then I will leave this position myself."
"I hope our cooperation will be pleasant."
Kenyon was relieved in his heart.
Su Yun's foundation at Chelsea is not as good as Ferguson's foundation at Manchester United. But it is definitely not easy. Su Yun is in his fourth season at Chelsea and has won six championships for Chelsea.
Very popular among Chelsea fans.
The current Chelsea was built by Su Yun. At present, apart from Su Yun, it is difficult for anyone else to set up Chelsea's locker room. Several of Chelsea's top players are all direct descendants of Su Yun.
Kenyon also had a headache when Su Yun was like this.
He didn't understand what Abu meant.
However, since Abramovich continues to use Su Yun as head coach, Kenyon must maintain a good relationship with Su Yun.
We must never break up with Su Yun.
Once things break up, it might cause other problems in Kenyon's trip to Chelsea. Only how to treat Su Yun in the future depends on the boss's wishes.
Of course Kenyon supports Su Yun in continuing to coach Chelsea.
Therefore, he is willing to make good friends with Su Yun.
Kenyon is here.
Although it seems that he has not been officially appointed yet, with the support of Abramovich, he has already begun to transform Chelsea according to his own ideas.
At this time, Su Yun was participating in the draw for the Champions League knockout rounds.
