"I want the team to win leagues and European titles. The goal is to win and not to make money. I have other more secure businesses to make money. I don't throw money around, but it's for fun, which means to be successful and win.
title."
The man of the hour, Abramovich, became the number one man chased in Fleet Street. Every word he said made headlines in newspapers. In addition to the domestic criticism in Russia about whether Abramovich was transferring property or committing national betrayal, the British also had doubts about Abramovich.
Since it is entertainment, how long will the rich man's interest last?
Abu gave the answer himself.
Fleet Street immediately asked him if he would invest in Chelsea for more than 10 years!
Abu responded: "It's hard to say 10 years. Maybe it will be 20 years or 50 years. I regard it as a long-term obligation."
With his answer, Fleet Street could no longer put pressure on him, so the most realistic questions surrounding Abramovich and Chelsea followed one after another.
Team, team, a team must be made up of players. Chelsea is imagining a wonderful future, but with 100 or 1 billion pounds in cash in front of them, it is impossible to realize their dream. In the end, it all depends on the players in your team.
, what kind of players are there!
When reporters asked him which player he would buy first, Abramovich said without hesitation: "Henry!"
Then after talking to his assistant, he added, "I like Campbell, too."
Then, he seemed to remember his identity and told reporters: "I won't tell you the names of other players because it will increase their worth."
I have to say that what Abu, a tycoon who is not a second-generation rich man, said gave people the impression that he meant what he said.
Just like this sentence, "This will increase their net worth." It sounds cautious, but if you think about it carefully, if he is not taking action, but just talking nonsense, why should he care about his net worth?
On the other hand, some club owners and presidents always shout out a series of names of top stars, which sounds exciting. But in fact, their big words are too low-level. If you think about it, you can see the loopholes. Stars in the football circle
Like prey, suitors are like hunters. There are definitely only a few who go out to acquire something with great fanfare, because the more high-profile it is, the greater the difficulty. Only low-key transfers tend to be smoother. And the sensation created is more effective.
.
The much-anticipated Chelsea made their first move in the Abramovich era and failed!
And it failed very embarrassingly!
Before Abramovich officially joined Chelsea, Chelsea's meritorious player Zola decided to return to Italy due to the team's turmoil and his contract expired, and signed a contract with his hometown team, Cagliari in the second division.
Abramovich's first move was to recall Zola! Even if Zola paid the penalty for Zola's contract with Cagliari, Cagliari would have made 1.25 million pounds in vain, while Chelsea gave Zola
A contract with an annual salary of 3 million pounds!
However, Zola refused Chelsea's call and did not break the contract because of financial benefits.
Chelsea began to operate the transfer market. At the same time, internally, it gave players like Terry a new contract and a generous contract, which made the players feel the difference in the times and the generosity of the new owner.
In the transfer market, signing Sunderland goalkeeper Marco on a free basis is a small test of his skills.
Soon, Chelsea caused a sensation!
A real sensation!
Head coach Ranieri sacked!
Ranieri, who was traveling in France, was kicked out by Chelsea before the trip was over.
Replaced by Swedish coach Sven Eriksson!
In fact, Abramovich met Eriksen as early as a year ago. At that time, he still had some ideas about acquiring Lazio. Through the introduction of insiders, they met 5 times before officially inviting Eriksen to coach at Chelsea!
Eriksen has made a name for himself in Serie A, and has gained a lot of fame with the background of the "Little World Cup" and "the world's first league". When England was selecting a coach, without Aldridge, Eriksen could make Arrogance
The Englishmen lowered their heads and came to offer invitations, which shows that his prestige was not just bragging, but he came
Coaching Chelsea, although he cannot be said to be the top coach, because he is not yet on an equal footing with coaches such as Lippi, Capello, Aldrich, Ferguson, and Wenger, but at least the ambition Chelsea shows to the outside world is: We are heading towards
We are working hard in the best direction and building this team with the goal of being a top team!
Chelsea has a new coach, but when it comes to player recruitment, they present themselves to the outside world in an embarrassing situation: they have money but can’t spend it!
On July 5th, a piece of news came out from Millwall in East London, causing a sensation in the entire European football world.
Millwall officially announced that it has received a £50 million offer from a team for Henry.
Also announced: Millwall refuses!
Henry is not for sale!
Millwall did not reveal the information about the club they are seeking to buy, but the outside world has unanimously speculated that it was Abramovich who made the move, spending huge sums of money and being so arrogant!
This move will create a new world record for player transfer value!
Transfer information like this is generally not disclosed to the public by clubs.
If you can talk, let's sit down and talk slowly.
If you don't want to talk about it, if you can't talk about it, just pretend it's nothing.
But Millwall's publicity can easily be interpreted as: ridicule!
Chelsea, so what if you have money?
The world's top stars, the best, are not something you can buy with money!
Especially when they take the initiative to release the news, it also represents another kind of confidence, that is, even if Henry learns the news, he has absolute confidence that Henry will not be shaken!
This is the confidence of a wealthy family!
July 6th, evening.
In Chelsea Village, the rooftop of the hotel was quickly transformed into a landing platform for private jets by Abramovich.
When the lights first came on, his private plane flew in from afar and landed on the roof of the building with a strong wind. When the strong wind subsided, someone got off the plane. Abu stood at the door of the rooftop passage and smiled.
The man was wearing casual clothes, striding towards Abu, laughing and saying: "I was just joking. Why should you take it seriously?"
Abu did not shake hands with the other party. He turned sideways and extended his hand to greet him. He smiled and said: "There is no truth or falsehood. Didn't Barnett send me to London like this back then? It's all trivial and not worth mentioning. Andrew, I
I remember you said you like Ukrainian food. Today I invited a famous chef from Kiev. Dinner is ready. Let’s go. I won’t come back until I’m drunk tonight.”
Andrew still held a golf club in his hand. He was playing golf in the afternoon. When Abu called him, he invited him to have dinner. Andrew joked that he would wait for his plane to arrive. As a result, with just a joke, Abu actually asked him to have a private dinner.
The plane flew to pick up Andrew. This is sincerity.
Walking from the passage to the hotel with Abu, Andrew said: "I actually miss the beautiful women in Ukraine more."
"Then, let's just fly to Ukraine today. As long as you have time."
Abu seems to be in a good mood and has the courage to sacrifice his life to accompany a gentleman.
Andrew waved his hand and said: "Haha. I just miss you. I miss you. You know, I am already married."
Abu smiled and said nothing.
At the entrance of the decorated restaurant, Andrew saw Zahavi and threw the golf club in his hand to him. Zahavi was confused, and then handed the club to the waiter.
After coming to the dining table and sitting down, Andrew turned to look at Zahavi who had followed them in. Zahavi suddenly understood after being stared at by Andrew's calm eyes for three seconds.
This dinner is not for him.
He disappears automatically.
Abu and Andrew tasted the food first. After they were seven-tenths full, Andrew took the wine glass and spoke first: "Barnett, I, Aldrich, we three brothers, in terms of relationship, Roman, you and Aldrich are...
We can say this honestly and honestly, you should be able to understand that Millwall is O
Derich belongs to himself. Barnett and I will neither interfere with his career nor influence his decision. Millwall rejected Henry's offer. This is a war. Maybe you don't understand Roman, because you don't.
Understand the relationship between Chelsea and Millwall and take a step back. Even if you offer 100 million pounds to impress Aldridge, you still can’t get it.
Henry, because of the transfer fee, is not for Henry, and if Henry moves to Chelsea, he will be hated by all Millwall people, and at the same time, everything he gets in Millwall will be worthless.
The honor you earned through hard work will first be denied by Millwall Club, and people will no longer remember the great striker.
Henry will only be remembered as a greedy traitor. This is absolutely unacceptable to Henry. In fact, few great players can accept it, especially Chelsea. Now they are nothing but sky gardens.
Dreams, the future that comes out of your mouth, the magnificent pyramid, you have not yet laid a single brick."
Abu didn't care about this. He waved his hand and said: "I don't care what is written in the newspaper."
Yes, as for Millwall's humiliation of Chelsea, money is not everything, and many people began to laugh at him.
Abu doesn't care. For him, the more disputes, the better, and the more controversies, the better. This is attention and his investment in "playing the game" here.
"Andrew, I invited you here today because I hope you can help me make suggestions. I hope Chelsea will become stronger and naturally need good players."
Although Abramovich has "fallen in love" with football, it does not mean that he knows everything about the players in the football circle. Which players are good? He probably only knows some relatively famous figures.
However, he firmly believes that money can make things work, just like the ice hockey team he built in Russia. What does it rely on? It’s just money!
Based on the level of the Russian Hockey League, the hockey team built by Abramovich has a total annual salary of more than 15 million US dollars. This is the top league and the level of the North American NHL. How can it not be strong in Russia? Just like if a Japanese league club,
With an average budget of the Premier League or Serie A, their strength will be the only one in the Japanese league, it is no exaggeration.
Andrew is not interested in giving lessons to Abu. Anyway, he is the boss and will definitely not do it himself.
But selecting players is the boss's fun. Andrew followed Abramovich's request and worked with him and his staff to develop a very high-quality list.
Vieira, Gerrard, Nedved, Dier, Davies, Duff, Emerson, Geremi, Veron, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Kewell, Joe Cole, Henry
If this "signing candidate list" of more than 30 people is made public, the entertainment that Abramovich talks about will probably shock the entire football world.
Andrew looked at the beaming Abu and the staff members who were joining in the fun.
Andrew didn't laugh at them, he just felt that they probably equated football with ice hockey.
If Andrew objects to names like Ronaldinho and Nedvěd, it seems that he is not giving face to Abramovich. After all, they are his players, but what about writing them down?
Abramovich and his team were very happy, and they were very excited when talking about these names, as if they had already got them.
Andrew could only sigh in his heart: It turns out that super rich people also have dreams occasionally. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
