Thanks to "Thieves" and "Qingqing Little Wolf" for the reward!
If Abu's current wealth is converted into RMB, then he has a net worth of more than 100 billion RMB.
And this 100 billion RMB rich man recently fell in love with a job.
Watch the video.
Andrew only gave him a small part of the video, but that couldn't stop other agents in the UK. Countless agents from all over Europe came to him with their player video tapes.
As a result, the multi-billionaire inspected the players through video tapes, and his team began traveling all over the world.
Monday, Milan.
Tuesday, Turin.
Wednesday, Monaco.
Thursday, Paris.
Friday, Madrid.
However, news coming back from all over Europe shows that the dream team this billionaire wants to build is just a mirror image.
Abramovich personally said: "This is where I am happy, to be able to participate in the game and the project of selecting players. The coach will ultimately decide which position requires players, and I will also participate in the decision."
Abramovich, who never tired of it, was finally hit by the rejection after rejection, which made him start to re-examine European football.
Yes, Chelsea have money.
Last season they only brought in one unknown player, but this season they have all the best players in the world on their roster, seemingly at their disposal.
But in actual operation, their negotiation team repeatedly ran into obstacles.
Although there are many bizarre news related to Chelsea in the transfer market every day, and the news becomes more and more outrageous and exaggerated, in fact, the problems faced by Chelsea's recruitment work are very real.
Top teams are not stupid!
Maybe you can define a value for Ronaldinho and Zidane, and then think that you can buy them with money.
But the reality is that truly world-class players have a price but no market!
In other words, Real Madrid once bought Zidane for 46.5 million pounds.
But if you spend another 46.5 million pounds, you can't buy a second Zidane!
Just as Arsenal officials said when they rejected Chelsea's offers for Ibrahimovic and Vieira: "Money, it's just money, we are building a top team, not destroying it."
Money can be unlimited.
There are just so many top players.
And most of the best resources are monopolized by wealthy families.
Another problem is that Chelsea itself is not attractive to world-class players.
Even if they are very rich, they can still give players a lot of money, but for players, this account really cannot be settled by how much salary the team pays.
Just like Abramovich thought that if he went to Madrid, he would have the opportunity to own Beckham in the future, but in fact, Beckham's team directly rejected the multi-billionaire's olive branch.
Even if Chelsea gives Beckham the world's top salary, if Beckham goes to Chelsea, Beckham's commercial value will be greatly reduced!
The same goes for other world-class players. Although the salary received in the club accounts for a high proportion of income, the income off the field is equally important.
In particular, off-site business income and influence can last until the end of your career!
If you go to Chelsea, which is not yet top-level competitive, and your career achievements are mediocre in the end, then if you look back and calculate your lifetime income, you may be coveting Chelsea's high salary at that moment, but you will end up losing money!
Roma stopped the transfer activities for Emerson and declared that Totti was not for sale, while Juventus wanted to rip off Davis and raised the price of Davis, even if Davis's contract with Juventus only left
One year.
Arsenal told Chelsea to go away and stop trying to get involved with Ibrahimovic and Vieira. Liverpool were also wary of Chelsea reaching out to Gerrard and Owen.
The most frustrating incident for Abramovich was not going to Madrid to try to contact Beckham but being turned away, but a transfer that could give birth to "Mr. 100 Million" in advance.
Raul had a quarrel with Florentino. At this juncture, Chelsea intervened and offered to take Raul away for "100 million euros" and offered Raul an annual salary of 12 million euros.
Raul's agent wanted to facilitate this seismic transfer, but Raul's answer was clean and concise: No.
Even though he had a conflict with Florentino, he still never thought about leaving the Bernabeu.
Therefore, many people in the world do not understand it.
After all, Abramovich was crazy and actually offered a player a transfer offer of 100 million euros.
Or is Raul crazy for not becoming the most expensive player and earning an enviable huge salary?
The world of football is crazy.
Under such a blow, Abramovich should also understand that money is not everything, and Chelsea has not undergone much qualitative change.
Those who look down on Chelsea will not change their attitude just because Chelsea are rich.
But this is not absolute.
There are definitely greedy people in the world, and the charm of money needs no further elaboration.
For example, Real Madrid's Makelele wants money very much, but Real Madrid is unwilling to satisfy him. However, Chelsea is not short of money.
Makelele was overshadowed by the brilliance of one superstar after another in Real Madrid, and he was not taken seriously. In addition, Florentino actually has a big plan this summer. In his territory, he will introduce Beckham.
In fact, it was a temporary rise. If there was no flying boot door, how could Real Madrid have achieved success?
How to actually operate the transfer of 28-year-old Beckham? Although in Florentino's view, Real Madrid's commercialization is only one Beckham away from Manchester United. They are just waiting for an opportunity, and this opportunity is making plans.
It is unpredictable when something happens, and only when it appears will the plan be truly launched.
The most important signing plan for Real Madrid this summer is actually to acquire another world-class player: Vieira!
Therefore, Florentino, while not caring about Makelele, sought the possibility of taking Vieira to the Bernabeu.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would end up like a chicken in the end. Makelele was lured away by Chelsea's money, Vieira renewed his contract with Arsenal with a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, and Real Madrid's gorgeous Galaxy battleship was missing one of its most useful players.
Hard work!
Also taken away was Real Madrid's Gremi for £7 million.
There are at least two factors why Gremi was chosen by Chelsea. The first one is that he went to Middlesbrough on loan last season and performed amazingly at the Riverside Stadium. The second one is that he is trying to steal something from a tiger's mouth.
Because Manchester United is also very interested in Gremi, Chelsea seems to be trying to beat Manchester United in the transfer market.
Time passed, and none of the superstars that Abramovich wanted came to be. However, the team's preparations were about to begin. Some problems that the team had to solve and areas for reinforcement were top priorities.
So Bridge was taken away from Southampton.
As a result, a deal that shocked the British football world was born.
"Glenn Johnson moves to Chelsea for £10 million!"
Yes, Millwall sold their players to Chelsea.
Glen Johnson left the Lion King Stadium with the reputation of a traitor and Judas on his back.
Ever since Glen Johnson began to have rumors with Chelsea in early July, this kid has been very hungry for Abramovich's money!
First, he said some ambiguous words to the media and had a vague attitude, which was a signal to Chelsea.
Then, put pressure on Millwall Club to double the salary, how many times?
Haha, his previous weekly salary was 5,000 pounds. At his age and judging from his contribution to the team, with this salary, Millwall treated him well.
But he asked for a weekly salary of 30,000!
It’s like a lion opening its mouth!
After Millwall CEO Adam publicly discussed the matter and flatly denied giving Johnson a new contract, Johnson broke out.
In mid-July, when Aldridge returned from vacation and returned to the club for the first time to prepare for the team training, some media reporters stopped his car outside the training base and interviewed him hastily, asking him about Johnson.
When talking about his attitude, Aldrich said something very rudely.
"Millwall doesn't need such an ungrateful beast, he can get out."
Half a day later, Chelsea's offer of 5 million pounds was rejected, and then, for 10 million pounds, the two clubs reached an agreement.
The sensation of this transfer is not that there was a deal between Millwall and Chelsea, because Glen Johnson was an insignificant figure, but that the price Chelsea got Glen Johnson at.
Ten million pounds!
A year ago, Glen Johnson was still in the reserve team. Last season, Glen Johnson served as Schneider's substitute. He only played 17 times in the whole season and his performance was quite satisfactory.
However, Chelsea spent 10 million pounds for him. Even though there may be an added value that a product produced by Millwall's youth training must be a high-quality product, such a price is definitely a rip-off plus Chelsea can kill him.
And Chelsea has officially kicked off the "curve to save European football".
Years from now, people will say Chelsea changed European football, especially Abramovich's lavish spending.
But in fact, the number of world-class players Chelsea has invested heavily in can be counted on one hand.
And what exactly did they change?
market!
At the top of the transfer market, Chelsea is not the protagonist. They have money, but they cannot buy superstars, and superstars have no interest in Chelsea.
What they have really changed is the mid-level part of the transfer market.
Like Johnson, even if other teams want to buy from Millwall, if the price is 5 million pounds, it will be considered a sky-high price, because Johnson's performance is not enough to reach the price of 5 million. If it is 1 million, the additional 4 million will be
It’s a potential gamble!
Chelsea cannot buy world-class stars, so they can only buy top-notch players and potential new stars. Their bids are at least 30% higher than the normal price, and the value of any player involved with Chelsea will be ridiculous.
rise.
The money Abramovich spent changed direction and saved many small teams, revitalizing a market that seemed to be on the verge of death.
Take Southampton as an example. They received 7 million pounds from selling Bridge. When Southampton has money, they have to replenish their lineup. They have to recruit players from the lower market. Part of this money is spent, layer by layer.
The chain reaction caused by this situation is immeasurable, and for many small teams, perhaps 1 million pounds can turn the situation from difficult to comfortable.
Chelsea itself is conducting player transactions with the "stupidity" criticized by the outside world. They spend a lot of money to introduce players whose strength is lower than their worth at the time. On the one hand, it drives up prices, and on the other hand, it gives favors to many small teams.
, This is an important part of Chelsea's impact on European football. Ten years later, it is estimated that more than 50 teams will be grateful to Chelsea. Although the names of these clubs may not be heard by many fans before, in the future,
You won't hear it, even if you hear it, you will forget it in the blink of an eye.
Chelsea's price gouging also made Aldrich a little unhappy. Although Glen Johnson was cleared, the side effect is: Millwall spends money to buy people, and the target club will counter-offer according to Chelsea's standards!
This kind of price gouging is completely different from the 100 million euro purchase of Raul.
Because there is only one Raul in the world.
If Chelsea buys him for 100 million euros, there won't be another club in the world that sells Raul and can put a price tag of 100 million euros.
But there are a lot of Johnsons in the world, a lot of Bridges, a lot of Gremies, and a lot of Duff r1152
