Mourinho arrived at Stamford Bridge and was still arrogant.
Bringing his seemingly innate arrogance to face the English, whose blood is arrogant, he will naturally not be welcomed.
He has become the focus. Even though everyone doesn't like it, the world is sometimes very strange. People will pay attention to the people they like, and they will also secretly pay attention to the people they don't like. Especially when they see the people they don't like fail, they feel sad in their hearts.
Will take pleasure in others' misfortunes, and sometimes the malicious pleasure will be even more pleasurable.
During this period, Mourinho and Abramovich were a "match made in heaven".
Mourinho has played the role of "bringing hatred" very well. Since Abramovich took over at Stamford Bridge last season, people have not only marveled at Chelsea's lavish spending, but they are also more concerned about: When will this Russian rich man fail?
Of course there will be many people who expect him to fail and get out of town in despair!
Now, it has become Mourinho to play such a role. People will wait and see what changes will happen to Mourinho's Chelsea. Then, most people hope that they will fail, just like most people also hope that Milvo
Well, a giant club like Manchester United failed to recover like that.
When Mourinho attended Chelsea's official press conference for the first time, his words were shocking and full of purpose.
"If I want to live a happy life, I will stay in Porto. There is a beautiful blue throne there, championship honors, God, and after God, I will be the one."
God is the boss and he is the second child. Such remarks were later misinterpreted. Mourinho said such words in a specific context, that is, in Porto, rather than looking at the whole world.
Regardless, his arrogant side was promoted.
As for reporters trying to make things difficult for Mourinho by citing his loss to Aldrich in the European finals for two consecutive years, Mourinho seemed very disdainful and also showed his ambition.
"If you have watched the Champions League final, you will definitely find that Aldrich Hall's team took advantage of the referee's misjudgment to score the first goal. He is an opportunistic person and is proud of it.
I have only one goal in coaching Chelsea, which is to lead Chelsea to become the best team in the world. If the best team in the world is Millwall in your eyes, then Chelsea will replace Millwall."
He declared war unabashedly. Although it made many people unhappy, Chelsea people were very happy. Compared with the cautious and shrinking remarks of many previous coaches when facing Aldridge, Mourinho's words quickly gained him
Support from Chelsea fans.
During the European Cup, Chelsea's summer signings also kicked off.
Mourinho brought his direct team from Porto, Carvalho and Ferreira.
Prior to this, a transfer finalized by Chelsea last season was also completed before Mourinho arrived, which was the introduction of goalkeeper Petr Cech.
Then came the sensational £40 million signings of Didier Drogba and Essien from Paris Saint-Germain.
The transfer was completed in mid-July. When Aldridge returned to London to prepare for the new season, he learned the news. He directly called Paris Saint-Germain to question the Paris Saint-Germain club when they sold Drogba and Essien.
, they have signed an agreement!
Never sell anyone back to the Premier League!
However, Paris Saint-Germain directly paid £20 million in liquidated damages to Millwall.
Insiders in France told Aldrich: The boss behind Paris Saint-Germain can no longer play the game! He wants to change hands with the club!
In fact, Chelsea paid half of the liquidated damages!
They are eager to sell players in exchange for funds!
If we quantify the financial situation of Paris Saint-Germain, then two years later, Paris Saint-Germain was sold to Canal+ for 40 million euros, and we can know how strong their demand for tens of millions of euros is.
Lampard, who wanted to return to England and had almost nowhere to go, finally accepted Chelsea's invitation.
Millwall don't want him.
Arsenal can't afford him.
The Manchester United board of directors spent money, but Ferguson's first priority in recruiting was forwards, not midfielders.
Only Chelsea can play in the Champions League and afford high wages.
Lampard, who returned to English football with double titles of World Cup and European Cup, became the object of contempt among Millwall fans.
Aldrich accepted this fact relatively calmly.
If Lampard had not told him privately before that he wanted to return to Millwall, he might not be able to calm down, but since there was that conversation and Lampard ended up going to Chelsea, he couldn't accuse the other party of anything.
But this may completely exhaust the mentor-disciple relationship between the two parties.
On a sunny morning, Aldrich returned to the club. As a newlywed, he was not very sweet. The marriage may be more formal than practical. He and Yiwen already had a very tacit understanding, and their lives were as planned. After the vacation, he returned to work.
My mentality is quite relaxed.
In his own office, he first reviewed the contract renewal work within the club.
Except for Ashley Cole, all the main players of the first team have renewed their contracts.
Among the substitutes, Robben's contract extension was rejected by his father's agent. Judging from the information disclosed by the media, the salary increase Chelsea gave Robben was definitely not enough for Millwall, and the gap was very large.
Franck Ribery, who has returned from his loan period, seems unwilling to renew his contract, but there hasn't been much news about him in the newspapers.
Aldrich sent a text message to Andrew, asking him to come to his office for an interview.
Aldrich needed to review the working documents that had been accumulated for more than a month. These documents had been sorted by the secretary.
Aldrich kept flipping through it, took out one and put it aside.
That was an information file about Qu Bo, the Chinese player who was loaned to Belgium by Millwall.
Over in Belgium, the feedback from Tolop was not optimistic.
Although Qu Bo has grown relatively well, it is basically impossible to gain a foothold in Millwall.
The best is the best. He can play in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. It is impossible for the top European giants to have a foothold for him, even on the bench.
Aldrich lit a cigarette and thought about Qu Bo.
The introduction of Qu Bo back then was not based on competitive considerations, but was entirely a product of commercialization, just like Manchester United signed Dong Fangzhuo half a year ago to develop the Asian market.
This has also led to a strange phenomenon. Chinese fans have gradually become familiar with the previously unfamiliar Belgian league, and they are familiar with it and can tell which teams are in the league and who is strong and who is weak.
The Chinese derby between Dong Fangzhuo and Qu Bo in the Belgian League has also become a football topic of concern to Chinese fans. Unfortunately, at the end of last season, Dong Fangzhuo's Belgian team was relegated.
But Aldrich didn't feel indebted to Qu Bo. This was not just taking advantage. He gave Qu Bo a better environment for his growth. Whether he is a dragon or a worm, he still relies on his own efforts.
Nowadays, Qu Bo has received invitations from many Chinese clubs, hoping that he can return to China to play.
Qu Bo himself didn’t want to continue spending money. After all, he didn’t earn much in Belgium.
After Aldrich finished smoking, he made the decision to let Qu Bo return to China and let him go.
Most of the information files compiled for him internally by the club were related to the recent developments of the players.
There are many players' information that Aldridge can't help but nod in appreciation when he looks at it.
For example, Cristiano Ronaldo, after playing in the European Cup, first returned to London to renew his contract with Millwall, and then took a break before heading to the Portuguese Olympic team to compete in the Olympic men's football team.
Another example is Kaka. Although this document combines information recently disclosed by many Brazilian media, it is claimed that Kaka will transfer to Chelsea. Chelsea has offered him a contract with a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds, including Kaka's father.
They have all expressed their opinions to the media, very openly
His son will go to Chelsea's football club, but three days ago Kaka suddenly returned to the club to complete the contract extension. He left a photo of the successful contract extension and immediately returned to South America to continue competing in the America's Cup. His weekly salary is higher than Chelsea's
The offer was lower, at £60,000.
Players like Alonso, De Rossi, and Villa who were also heavily attracted by Chelsea during the same period completed their contract extensions with the club in early June.
If Chelsea wants to poach people, they must offer high wages. Apart from the fucking salary, there is no other attraction!
Millwall can't compete with the opponent in this regard. Whether you promote it or not is a secondary matter. Chelsea can't poach the entire team, and they can't accommodate them there, but Millwall will have an effect on the whole body. It's like, if
In order to retain Kaká and raise Kaká’s salary to a level higher than that offered by Chelsea or roughly the same level, Millwall’s entire salary system structure will have to rise, otherwise there will be dissatisfaction, which is a huge hidden danger.
How generous is Chelsea?
Who has the highest annual salary in Europe right now?
Lampard!
He is taller than Zidane, Ronaldo and Beckham of Real Madrid.
That’s twice the salary of AC Milan’s leading striker Shevchenko!
Aldridge is very happy that the team's 90 contract extension work has been completed.
Those who are still unhappy will have to wait until Andrew arrives to talk to them in person.
Chelsea's cash burn is not over yet, far from it.
The media revealed that they are willing to pay a transfer fee of 40 million pounds for Rooney!
Mourinho also implicitly nodded in approval of the club's transfer operations in an interview with the media.
While waiting for Andrew, Aldridge turned on his computer and browsed the news. He was paying attention to the news in the transfer market.
Chelsea deserve to be the protagonist, and they are featured in transfer rumors in mainstream leagues.
Chelsea was buying a goalkeeper last season, but unfortunately he was injured when he bought it. Cudicini's performance was okay, but not top-notch. With the arrival of Cech, there was a qualitative improvement in this aspect.
However, Aldridge still saw Chelsea looking for a goalkeeper in the transfer news in the German football market.
"Chelsea is willing to pay 3 million pounds for the 18-year-old Neuer! Oh my God, this young man who just entered the Schalke 04 second team is so lucky!"
Seeing this news, Aldrich felt a little strange.
Chelsea already have no shortage of goalkeepers.
Moreover, what they are looking for is the inconspicuous Neuer?
Aldrich suppressed his doubts and continued browsing the news.
"Chelsea tried to buy Maritimo's Pepe for 2 million pounds, and rented Maritimo back for two years. After Pepe obtained an EU passport, he went to Stamford Bridge!"
Chelsea still want to buy a defender?
“Chelsea wants £5 million for Sevilla’s Brazilian full-back Daniel Alves!”
After Aldrich saw the news, he immediately realized something. He picked up the landline phone on the table and called the club's department that organizes external intelligence information.
"Give me the news on Chelsea's active acquisitions in the transfer market in the past two months!"
Andrew did not arrive for a long time, and Aldrich was not in a hurry. The other party sent him a text message saying that he was on the way and said he would arrive in three hours.
Today is the team's training day. Unlike usual, the training will start in the afternoon, so Aldrich has plenty of time.
At 11 a.m., the work department compiled the information into files, printed them out, and brought them to Aldrich's desk.
Aldrich read them one by one, his eyes became sharper and his expression became angry.
Chelsea's signings made him feel weird for two reasons. First, what Chelsea needs now are superstars, at least first-class players who have proven that they can perform stably in the top league. Neuer is not it.
Peggy is not. Alves may be okay, but he is definitely not at Chelsea yet.
The level of signings. Secondly, these people will definitely not be requested by Mourinho. Mourinho definitely wants ready-made good players. He has no time to train rookies. He should be able to understand that here in the Premier League
, before successfully challenging Millwall, he did not have the conditions to train new players with his record!
On the contrary, Neuer, Pepe, Alves, including Chelsea in South America tried to buy the ownership of Mascherano and Tevez, and Europe also tried to take away young talents such as Silva from Real Madrid.
This list is very similar to the highest level of star rating of Millwall's internal recruitment candidates!
Millwall's internal database is very large and is divided into two parts. One part is used to study opponents, and the other part is used by the own club to build signings. For example, in the goalkeeper position, Neuer is ranked first in potential future signings!
Due to the particularity of the goalkeeper position, even if he is a genius, Aldridge cannot bring him to the club early. It is meaningless. If he buys and rents him out early, he may lose his head. After all, it will attract too much attention and will be exhausted.
The players' patience is constantly being loaned out, and no one is happy about it.
As for players like Pepe, Alves, and Tevez, there is no place for them in the team. If they are bought, they have to be rented. Moreover, they do not have labor certificates. Aldrich can no longer shamelessly buy a substitute through the talent clause.
He would not be surprised if Chelsea is seeking young talents such as Kompany, Van der Vaart, and Torres in the transfer market. After all, these players have indeed emerged and are being watched by many wealthy clubs. r1152
