Pini Zahavi came to Mourinho's office with a smile. Although Pini Zahavi has a special status at Chelsea, he also smiled when facing Mourinho.
It's definitely not Pini. Zahavi is afraid of Mourinho. Pini. Zahavi is not afraid of Mourinho at all. Don't say that Mourinho is Kenyon. He is not afraid at all. If Mourinho and goalkeeper
If Des really offends Pini Zahavi, he will never make it easy for them. But Pini Zahavi is a very smart person and will never offend anyone, at least on the surface.
.After all, Pini Zahavi works as an intermediary and has no physical power.
Mourinho is a very domineering person and a very controlling person. However, it is not that Pini Zahavi has never seen such a coach. If Mourinho is not more controlling than Ferguson and Wenger
Ferguson and Wenger are old-fashioned coaches. They both believe that the head coach of the team is the number one. Therefore, they will not allow other voices to appear in the team. They are exactly the same as Mourinho on this point.
It's just that Mourinho is more public and able to attract everyone's attention. Pini Zahavi has met many people in this industry, so he also understands how to get in touch with a head coach like Mourinho.
"Pini, here we come."
Mourinho greeted Pini Zahavi with a smile. Mourinho is domineering, but he is smarter than anyone else. Much of his domineering is disguised, and his domineering needs support from behind.
He is very smart and knows that Pini Zahavi has a close relationship with the club owner. Pini Zahavi does not have any position within the Chelsea club. But he is the most special person in the Chelsea team. Even for someone like Mourinho
Don’t neglect Pini Zahavi’s character.
"Jose. Are you interrupting your work?"
"No."
Pini Zahavi said polite words, but he was already sitting there. Of course, Pini Zahavi did not go too far, but quickly said: "Jose, is the left back position still there?"
No suitable candidate found."
In fact, Pini Zahavi was not very involved in the transfer of Chelsea, but the specific things were very clear. He was just giving Mourinho face, and did not want Mourinho to have the illusion of interfering in the transfer market.
.
"not yet."
Mourinho is an extremely smart man. Pini Zahavi has a special status at Chelsea, but he is also absolutely low-key within Chelsea. He never meets with the club's senior management for no reason, and he never interferes in Chelsea club affairs.
.So Mourinho knew that Pini Zahavi was definitely involved as soon as he came over. Now when the matter of left back came up, he understood that Pini Zahavi should have come to recommend a left back.
"Pini, you know a lot of people. Who do you think is more suitable?"
"How about Ashley Cole?"
"Ashley Cole?"
Mourinho was taken aback and was very surprised. Who doesn't know that Ashley Cole is currently the best left back in English football. Even in the entire European football world, he is one of the top left backs.
But Mourinho never thought about Ashley Cole.
Because Ashley Cole is different from anyone else. Ashley Cole was trained by Arsenal's youth training, and was built by Wenger to become the world's top left back. A player trained in England's youth training
It is very important, especially a top star like Ashley Cole, who is the treasure of the club.
"Is it possible for Pinney Ashley Cole?"
If Ashley Cole can really be introduced, Mourinho will only be happy. After all, a player as powerful as Ashley Cole can really solve Chelsea's left-sided problem. Mourinho is now very dissatisfied with the announcement.
Richie and Gallas are quite good. However, Gallas also has a stubborn personality and believes that he should play as a central defender instead of a full-back. Therefore, he resists playing as a left-back.
Who is Mourinho? If it weren't for the fact that Chelsea currently lacks good left-backs, he would have already driven away thorns like Gallas.
"That's what I'm here for. Ashley Cole's contract extension with Arsenal has been very unsatisfactory recently. If you are interested in him, I can help connect him."
Pini Zahavi is a bold man. He likes this kind of thing, just like when he completed the transfer of Ferdinand. Who could have believed that Pini Zahavi could use Ferdinand to complete two shocking transfers?
.Of course, including the change of ownership of Chelsea, this is Zahavi’s most proud work.
Zahavi is rich. He was already rich before he entered English football. He is already a small rich man in Israel. He already has a lot of money. If he didn't have money, he wouldn't be as good as the Jewish rich people in Israel.
A good relationship, for example, the media tycoon who currently monopolizes the Israeli media circle and Zahavi have had a relationship for decades.
There is no shortage of money. Therefore, many things Zahavi does now are not aimed at small money. On the contrary, he likes to make sensational things. If Ashley Cole can be introduced from Arsenal to Chelsea, it will be no better than when Manchester United bought it from Leeds United.
Ferdinand's sensationalism is poor.
Every time he completes a transfer that others think is impossible, Zahavi feels a sense of accomplishment. This sense of accomplishment and satisfaction cannot be replaced by money. Of course, Zahavi's income behind such a sensational transfer is also not low.
.
"Really?"
Mourinho, like Zahavi, is a bold man. If he can really bring in Ashley Cole, Mourinho will dare to do anything.
"Well, as long as you are willing, I can let you meet with Ashley Cole's agent and him. Then it will be your business to convince them."
Money, neither of them talked about the transfer fee at all. Because the most important thing for Chelsea is money. When Abramovich first took over Chelsea, he even spent 50 million euros to buy top players such as Raul and Henry.
Star player. At that time, Chelsea's senior management even said that they could buy Pele for 100 million if he was still playing football. Although Ashley Cole was outstanding, it was still easy for Chelsea to buy him.
So neither of them mentioned the transfer fee. The two of them are currently thinking about only one thing, and that is how to convince Ashley Cole. As long as they convince Ashley Cole, there will be no problems.
"Pini, of course I would be happy if it is possible."
"I understand. Why don't we go together and see what Peter is doing."
At Chelsea, Abramovich is the boss, Kenyon is the CEO, and Mourinho is the head coach. Mourinho decides on player transfers, but Kenyon is responsible for the specific transfer fees and salaries.
Of course, the current situation is that Mourinho is relatively strong, so as long as Mourinho decides on the players, there will basically be no problems. Unless the players' demands are too excessive, there is no way they can pass.
.
But even so, Mourinho must communicate with Kenyon on many things. If Kenyon objects, or makes a little mischief during the negotiations, then many things that should succeed will come to nothing. No matter what Kenyon says,
The club's CEO restricts Mourinho in terms of power.
"Well. I have time now, let's go together."
…………
"What's wrong?"
Ashley Cole saw that his agent Barnett had a different expression after answering a phone call, so he asked Barnett. The two have been cooperating for a long time. At the time, Ashley Cole
Cole played as a forward at Arsenal, but his performance was very poor. At that time, Ashley Cole was not the best in Arsenal's youth training camp. But Barnett never abandoned him and always stayed with Ashley.
Cole became a world-class left back.
Therefore, Ashley Cole is very grateful to Barnett. The relationship between the two is quite good. This time Barnett fell out with Jerome Anderson, with David Dunn, with Wenger, and with Arsenal.
The club has some conflicts. Because of the contract renewal issue, Barnett thought David Dunn had lied to him, so there was a big quarrel. They even quarreled in David Dunn's office. How could there be any secrets in these things? The entire club
They all made a fuss.
It stands to reason that such things have a great impact on players. Many big-name players can make their own decisions in such contract renewal negotiations, just like List did with Nedvěd. If the agent falls out with the club,
It will definitely affect the player's status in the club. So sometimes if the quarrel is too fierce, the player will ask the agent to calm down.
But Ashley Cole is different. Although he knows that this is not good for him, he still fully supports Barnett. Because in Ashley Cole's view, Barnett will not harm his own interests.
Yes, Barnett really thinks about himself.
"Pini Zahavi's phone number."
Pini Zahavi is as low-key as ever, but he is well-known within European football circles. Of course, Ashley Cole also knows Pini Zahavi's name.
"He wants to ask me to meet you."
"Meet us."
Ashley Cole didn't understand. Barnett shook his head. Then he said uncertainly: "You should know that Zahavi has a very special relationship with Chelsea. Maybe Chelsea knows about your contract extension with Arsenal."
It didn’t go very well. Zahavi might have wanted to test our tone on Chelsea’s behalf.”
"Chelsea? Tsk!"
Ashley Cole said disdainfully about Chelsea. Chelsea is strong this season, but for Ashley Cole, Chelsea is an upstart. How can Chelsea compare with Arsenal? Besides, Ashley Cole
He is still a player in Arsenal's youth academy. He has no thoughts about Chelsea and even despises upstarts like Chelsea.
"Haha. Ashley, do you know how much Terry's weekly salary is just because he renewed his contract?"
Barnett and Ashley Cole think differently. Players, especially big-name players, can look down on upstarts like Chelsea. But for agents, upstarts are the most suitable for doing business. Only upstarts can
Will give the broker the most commission.
"One hundred thousand."
Ashley Cole also knows this. Terry and Lampard both signed new contracts after the start of this season, with a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds. This is unprecedented in British football and even European football.
It's the top salary.
Usually I'm just jealous, but now I think about Ashley Cole and grit my teeth. Terry is just a little kid. Although we are about the same age, Ashley Cole became famous much earlier than Terry. And he is still in the English football world.
With the partnership of Ferdinand and Campbell, Terry is still the substitute center back for the national team. But Ashley Cole is already known as one of the three top left backs in European football.
Players like Terry already earn a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, but he just wants a weekly salary of 60,000 pounds, and Arsenal refuses. Think of Ashley Cole's resentment towards David Dunn.
Taking it a step further. He thinks Arsenal are stingy and David Dunn is a liar.
"Ashley, if nothing else, as long as you go to Chelsea, I believe your weekly salary of 100,000 pounds is a certainty."
"Jonathan, I don't want to leave Arsenal."
Ashley Cole hesitated. For Ashley Cole, Arsenal is his home after all. Barnett nodded and said: "We don't have to go to Chelsea. But go and see Zaha."
There’s nothing wrong with Wei, let’s spread the word that Chelsea is interested in you, and then force David Dunn to make concessions. This is also a good way.”
