In fact, regarding the matter of Drogba, List has already been in contact with the Chinese football side. Anelka joining Shenhua was very sensational in the Chinese football world. Many fans on the Internet like Anelka.
But Drogba's achievements far surpassed Anelka's. Although Anelka became famous at a young age and became the main player at Arsenal when he was 17 or 18 years old. Later, he played in Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Chelsea, but
In terms of career achievements, Anelka cannot compare to Drogba. Drogba spent seven seasons at Chelsea and scored more than 150 goals for Chelsea. His peak season was even more...
He scored 36 goals in all competitions for Chelsea this season.
And let alone Chelsea, he was a famous shooter in the Eredivisie when he was at Eindhoven. His strong physical strength was completely overwhelming in the Eredivisie, and no defender could stop him. At that time, Drogba
In Eindhoven, he performed very well whether in the Eredivisie or the Champions League. Otherwise, he would not have been introduced by Chelsea.
Therefore, when List came into contact with the Chinese football world and prepared to promote Drogba, there were not one or two clubs that contacted List. In the current Chinese football world, there are not one or two clubs who have the ability to introduce Drogba. China's
These clubs now have a lot of money.
For example, the newly upgraded Dalian Albin, Jiangsu Sainty, Guangzhou R&F, and Guangzhou Evergrande are all capable of bringing in Drogba. Of course, clubs such as Beijing Guoan and Shandong Luneng have the money to bring in. Therefore, Reese
I am contacting them specifically to see which club can bring the highest benefits to List.
"Director Luo, why bother to go there in person?"
"This is a show of sincerity."
After Riester rejected Shenhua, he received a heavyweight in Chinese football in London. Luo Ning, the chairman of Beijing Guoan, was no ordinary person. It should be said that Beijing Guoan, as the backstage of the capital team, is really powerful.
Guoan itself is a very powerful enterprise, with tens of billions of assets. The group behind Guoan is even more powerful, and it is the powerful CITIC Group. CITIC Group is a very well-known enterprise in the history of China's reform and opening up.
It was a trust investment company established by the Rong family in accordance with the wishes of the chief architect at the beginning of the reform and opening up.
CITIC Corporation now has a huge asset scale. CITIC Group has total assets of 3.5 trillion RMB, net assets of more than 200 billion RMB, annual operating income of more than 300 billion RMB, and net profit of more than 30 billion RMB.
It can be said that among China's state-owned enterprises, CITIC Group Corporation is definitely a giant. It is precisely because of the support of such a group that Guoan can be so bullish.
"Please take a seat."
Luo Ning came over in person. Lister was also slightly surprised. As a senior executive of a state-owned company, Luo Ning has an administrative level in China, and the level is not low. But Lister was happy, because Guoan was obviously very suitable for Lister.
Require.
Guoan wants money. It is still a team in the capital of China. What is important is Guoan Group or CITIC Group. They are all companies with a big background. They are also exploring markets in Africa and should be interested in Cote d'Ivoire. Here in Cote d'Ivoire
There are also many things that attract Chinese companies. For example, Côte d'Ivoire is a world-famous cocoa, coffee, and oil production place. In addition, Côte d'Ivoire's information industry has also been developing very rapidly recently.
At present, the Chinese company Huawei accounts for more than 60% of the information industry in Côte d'Ivoire. However, in the past two years of the civil war in Côte d'Ivoire, Huawei's orders have also dropped sharply. Now that the political scene in Côte d'Ivoire has begun to stabilize, many Chinese companies are preparing to reoccupy the market in Côte d'Ivoire.
.
"Lister, how are you? Our national security team has taken down Drogba's matter."
Lister and Luo Ning know each other. Among the current top management of Chinese football clubs, Lister basically knows each other. Since Lister is ready to cooperate with China, he will do the best.
"Director Luo, can you agree to all my requests?"
"Of course. Lister, you should know the strength of our Guoan. There is no problem with your request."
Luo Ning's words are not big words. Evergrande is very strong, and Evergrande is very rich. But it is not as good as Guoan, and not as good as the CITIC Group behind Guoan. Because this is Beijing, and behind Guoan is a truly large state-owned enterprise.
"Dr. Luo, in addition to the player's contract, Drogba will bring many other things to China. Ivory Coast hopes that Drogba's transfer to the Chinese League will attract some Chinese companies to Côte d'Ivoire. It is even hoped that
With Drogba, we can strengthen our relationship with the Chinese government."
This is the biggest additional condition. Don't underestimate a player. Football players in China do not have such ability, and football has not reached such a high level. But like Cote d'Ivoire, its economy has been poor in recent years, coupled with the impact of the civil war.
The whole of Côte d'Ivoire is in dire straits. The poorer they are, the more they place their hope on something. This is the case with football.
Football in Côte d'Ivoire is very popular and very popular. As the first star of Côte d'Ivoire, Drogba has a very high reputation in Côte d'Ivoire. In addition, after Drogba made money, he not only built five hospitals
, and also supported the construction of many schools. Therefore, Drogba is really famous in Côte d'Ivoire, otherwise the Côte d'Ivoire government would not want to make Drogba a peace messenger. If Drogba returns to Côte d'Ivoire now, he will run for a certain member of the parliament.
The location is a breeze.
"Of course. We in China also hope to establish closer relations with Cote d'Ivoire."
Côte d'Ivoire has demand for Chinese funds, and so is China. Although Africa cannot be said to be China's back garden, politically and economically, Africa is a very important place in China's strategy. Côte d'Ivoire is a traditional French force. If
If China can strengthen its relationship with Cote d'Ivoire, it will be a great progress in North Africa, which has traditional French influence. Luo Ning and Guoan saw this, so they contacted Riester so actively.
"good."

"Coach Boas, you have lost five games in two months."
List was in a very good mood when he met people about Drogba. But at this time, Villas-Boas was being questioned by Chelsea's senior management. The chairman of the Chelsea club, the CEO of Chelsea, and the secretary-general of Chelsea were all sitting there
There, everyone looked gloomy.
It's really because Chelsea's current performance is so poor. At the beginning of this season, Chelsea's performance was quite good. But after these few months of consecutive losses, Chelsea's current ranking has plummeted. Currently, Chelsea has the best performance.
The two teams in Manchester, Manchester United and Manchester City, have the best results and are also the most popular teams to win the Premier League this season. Then there is Liverpool, the Liverpool built by Simeone, which is only one or two goals away from Manchester United and Manchester City.
It's just that in everyone's eyes, Simeone is too young, and Liverpool has never had a Premier League championship in its history, so they just underestimate Liverpool. Next are Arsenal and Tottenham.
As one of the best teams in the Premier League in recent years, Chelsea's current results are even worse than Arsenal and Tottenham. How can Chelsea's senior management be satisfied with Villas-Boas's performance. Based on current results, Chelsea will win the Champions League next season.
I can't even get into the quota.
"It will be fine soon."
Boas was also expressionless. Although Boas has low emotional intelligence, it does not mean that he is an idiot. When talking to him before, Abramovich himself talked to him every time.
Chelsea's performance in these games has been very poor. At this time, Abramovich should be there. But among the Chelsea senior officials who talked to him today, there was no Abramovich. This made Villas-Boas feel that something was wrong.
.
"Haha. Coach Boas, you have said this many times this month."
Chelsea CEO Gourlay directly ridiculed Villas-Boas. Because of the poor results in the past two months, Chelsea's senior management has met with Villas frequently. Gourlay even told Villas some time ago not to treat his boss like this.
Team members. But Boas went his own way and did not give Gourlay face.
It's just that Gourlay is mainly responsible for the business side, so nothing has ever happened. But Gourlay is angry in his heart. Boas relied on his youth and Abramovich to start liking him and trusting him.
He didn't take himself as the CEO of the club seriously at all. At that time, Gourlay endured it, but now seeing that Villas-Boas's performance is getting worse and worse, and Abramovich's patience is slowly disappearing, Gourlay began to be sarcastic.
Boas is gone.
"My tactics at Chelsea have almost worked."
Villas-Boas answered Gourlay's words expressionlessly. Among Chelsea's senior management, the one whom Villas despised most was Gourlay. When Gourlay was the CEO of Chelsea, he did not see any development in Chelsea's business development. Compared with that year
During Kenyon's time, Chelsea's commercial development under Gourlay was not as good as that of Arsenal and Liverpool. And if you are a commercial developer, you know nothing about football tactics.
"Coach Villas-Boas, whether we succeed or not depends on results. Don't think that Chelsea's job is easy."
Seeing that Boas was still bullish, Gourlay replied with a sneer. But Gourlay knew that Abramovich had no patience with Boas. If Boas's performance continues to be so poor, Boas's
His Chelsea coaching career has come to an end.
"I understand."
"Coach Villas-Boas, I have to remind you one last thing. Whether it's Frank or Didier, they are our Chelsea's heroes and our Chelsea's treasures. I hope you can cherish them."
"I think Mr. Gourray should understand that I am the Chelsea coach."
Boas's temper was not that good, so he immediately talked back to Gourlay. Hearing what Boas said, Gourlay smiled and nodded, saying: "Okay, okay."
Gourlay did not continue talking to Boas. Anyway, he came today to warn him. So he immediately left Boas's office with his people. (To be continued...)
