Chapter 288 I want the world’s largest annual salary
On the field.
The Italian team won a corner kick.
Candreva took a tactical corner kick from the right, Verratti's counterattack was cleverly missed by Pirlo, Marchisio fired a low shot from more than 20 meters in front of the penalty area and went straight to the lower left corner!
The Italian team took a 1:0 lead.
Pan Yi clapped softly, and Abramovich's words were interrupted. He could only smile and say: "Not bad, not bad. It seems that Italy played well in this game. It should be possible to win?"
Pan Yi also smiled.
Although the ball was indeed played beautifully, especially Pirlo's ecstatic pass, it made people dream back to the 2006 semi-finals...
But when he applauded, it had other meanings.
That's because this goal reminded him of some details of this game.
Sure enough, there is no difference at all!
Mainly because in these two teams, among the players currently on the court, those who have not been "strengthened" by Pan Yi are all the same as in their previous lives.
Needless to say, the Italian team is still basically the same old lineup as in the 2012 European Cup.
Although Vardy was selected for this year's England team, coach Hodgson is still accustomed to using the attacking combination of Werber, Sterling, Rooney and Sturridge that he often used in the qualifiers.
If the personnel do not change, the direction of history will naturally not change either.
Then, Pan Yi is more sure that his "prediction" about the direction of this group will not be too biased, and at the same time, he is more certain about the outcome of this game.
"That's not necessarily the case." Pan Yi decided to pretend to be the first, "England actually played well, but Italy's right-side defense has hidden dangers. Therefore, England's goal should come soon."
"Oh?" Abu wanted to ask more, but the situation on the field had suddenly changed.
After the Italian players celebrated the restart, it didn't take long for England to launch an attack.
Sterling stole the ball in the middle and broke through. Rooney made a pass from the left. Sturridge pushed a half-volley into the near corner from 5 meters away from the goal!
After almost 2 minutes, England equalized the score!
"This..." This time, Abu was stunned again.
The two Chelsea executives were also stunned by Pan Yi's pretense, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Although Pan Yi is indeed a first-class coach in the world and is theoretically better at judging the situation on the court than laymen like them, but...
Isn’t this amazing?
Just score a goal?
Even if you know about football, you don’t know it that well, right?
Football king Pele often made mistakes when predicting games.
"Then...you mean, England has a greater chance of winning this game?" Abramovich calmed down and asked Pan Yi again.
"Oh, that's not necessarily the case. It won't be that easy for them to score next." Pan Yi said with a smile, "And Prandelli has a strong ability to adjust and is good at attacking at the beginning of the second half. So,
I still think Italy will score early in the second half and win in the end."
Pan Yi deliberately didn't say it so accurately, but he basically told the scenes he remembered from his previous life.
But it really doesn’t need to be so precise.
This passage basically means that England will not score, but Italy will score at the beginning of the second half and end the battle.
For the three of them, Abu, this is already too accurate!
"Uh..." Abu turned his head and glanced at his two senior executives.
That look in his eyes clearly said: "I wonder, is this guy a coach or a stickman?"
When analyzing the game situation, you shouldn’t analyze it to this extent, right?
If the process and result of this game are really as Pan Yi said...
Is this saying that Pan Yi is really awesome, or is he really awesome?
This is going to mess up Abu.
The information he got from his senior executives, especially CEO Ron Gurlay, was that Pan Yi was very good. His observation at the Champions League final that day also gave him a similar view.
But he really didn’t expect that he would be so awesome!
Of course, this still has to wait for verification in the second half.
Now, they have more important things to talk about.
Abramovich coughed slightly and began to change the subject: "How do you think our Gary Cahill is playing?"
The current England representative team has two Chelsea players: defender Gary Cahill and midfielder Frank Lampard.
But now Lampard has gradually dropped out of the main lineup, and currently only Gary Cahill is the only Chelsea player on the court.
John Terry, Chelsea's meritorious captain, had already withdrawn from the England team in 2012.
"He played well." Pan Yi gave a fair evaluation, "He has a tough defensive style, strong aerial and ground defense capabilities, and is the most comprehensive among England's Mesozoic central defenders..."
"It is precisely because of this that we brought him from Bolton to Chelsea two years ago." Abramovich nodded and wanted to bring the topic to Chelsea's team building, "As long as it is for the good of the team.
, I don’t hesitate to spend..."
Pan Yi went on to say: "But he may still have a hard time dealing with Balotelli today. If he doesn't make adjustments in the second half, he may suffer a loss from Balotelli."
This is a more detailed description of the goal in the second half.
The three Chelsea glanced at each other again.
If Pan Yi continues to "show off" like this, the game will be over and we still won't be able to talk about the topic!
So, Abu decided to get straight to the point and make it clear to Pan Yi directly.
Time is money, my friend!
"Pan Yi, today we are here to invite you to take over Chelsea." Abramovich said, "We aim to become a top wealthy team and need a top coach. And we can give this top coach, which is you,
Provide the best platform."
Chairman Bruce Buck also made a timely assist: "We all know that in the past three years, you have achieved great success in Serie A, Bundesliga, and the Champions League. However, your ambitions and visions have also been severely constrained by the club's financial resources.
Otherwise, with your ability, you can bring the team to a whole new level, instead of ushering in the disintegration of the team."
CEO Ron Gurray added: "Yes, at Chelsea, we will provide you with the most generous transfer budget. You can fully display your talents and ambitions and introduce the players you want. According to your
If you want to form a team according to your wishes, we will do our best to cooperate with you!"
Abramovich added another finishing touch: "Yes. We can responsibly promise you that you will have the right to make decisions on Chelsea's sporting affairs, which of course includes transfer rights, coach selection, or the entire uniform staff...
...In other words, what Ferguson did at Manchester United, you can do at Chelsea!"
When Pan Yi heard this, he smiled secretly in his heart.
His trick of "playing hard to get" seems to be really effective!
The less anxious he is, the more anxious Chelsea will be.
Look, don’t you reveal all your cards right now?
But to be honest, Pan Yi was quite moved when he heard Chelsea's bosses and executives say this.
Especially what Abu said at the end.
Ferguson's power at Manchester United is what many managers desire and pursue!
Since Abu, as the boss, can make this promise, it means that he can do it.
Moreover, this is not a small club, this is Chelsea!
A team that has already transformed into a Premier League giant.
Whether it is infrastructure, youth training system, attraction to players, or the team's financial situation, they are all very good.
But now, whether it is power or resources, Chelsea can give him the best.
This made Pan Yi even have the urge to say "Okay, let's sign the contract" right away.
But who is Pan Yi?
Since he can patiently "seduce" Chelsea people and reveal their trump cards, he will not agree directly in a hurry.
Just like if you get something too easily, you may not cherish it;
But if you go through a lot of hard work to get it, then you will treat it as a rare treasure!
Especially when facing a big club like Chelsea and a big boss like Abramovich.
They have seen and talked with many great head coaches, and they must behave differently to really attract their attention!
"Your conditions are very attractive. I will seriously consider it." Pan Yi nodded, "But please give me some time and I will consider it comprehensively."
Sure enough, when Pan Yi said this, Abu's face changed slightly.
They proposed such a generous offer, but Pan Yi actually said that he would "consider" it, which surprised him a bit.
Abramovich even feels that given his condition, looking at today's world football, it is difficult for any other team to give it to him like this, right?
But Pan Yi is still so "reserved". This young coach of Longguo is really difficult to deal with.
However, Abu was not angry either.
He knows that only those who are truly talented will have the qualifications to carefully select their employers and be "bohemian".
Just like back then, when he first invited Mourinho to come to Chelsea as the head coach, he had "visited the thatched cottage three times" and promised to give Mourinho a lot of power in team affairs.
At that time, Mourinho led Porto to win consecutive UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League championships, and also won the Portuguese Super League championship and cup championship in Portugal for two consecutive seasons. He can be said to be the most popular young coach in the world.
Got it!
After being moved by Abramovich's sincerity and coming to Chelsea, with the financial support of the club, the then 41-year-old coach began to build his strongest lineup and instilled his coaching beliefs into this lineup, and then let Chelsea begin to truly develop.
Become a Premier League powerhouse.
Of course, the most famous moment when he came to Chelsea was when he said in his first interview that he was a champion coach and a "special one".
This is also the moment for the "madman" to show his confidence.
But naturally he has the capital to be crazy.
As soon as he arrived, he led the Blues to win the first Premier League championship in the club's history, and then successfully defended the title.
However, Abramovich had just bought the Chelsea club and was very interested in the club's operations as he was new to football, so it was inevitable that he would engage in some "micro-management" behavior.
Mourinho has always hoped to comprehensively manage Chelsea like Ferguson did at Manchester United, and does not want Abramovich, a "layman", to interfere with his team building.
In 2005, Abramovich handed over the management of Chelsea's youth training to Arnesen, taking the first step in splitting with Mourinho.
In the subsequent transfer window, Abramovich simply ignored Mourinho's objections and directly signed two stars, Shevchenko and Ballack, at a high price.
Their joining was the trigger for Abramovich and Mourinho to part ways for the first time.
A madman is a madman after all, and he will not give in when facing his boss Mourinho.
After the two stars joined, Mourinho put them on the bench and made it clear: "If Abramovich forces me to use a certain player, I will leave Chelsea."
In this regard, Abramovich had to make concessions: "I never interfere in team affairs, let alone how the coach uses the players."
But for a strongman like Abu, surrendering will only make him feel aggrieved.
In December 2006, he said in an interview: "Mourinho is not my friend, although we have a good relationship. I respect him very much, not just because of his achievements in coaching." p>
In 2007, the two had another disagreement over transfer. Although they reconciled for a time, the rift has been difficult to mend.
Although they have won six championships in three years, the Blues have never been able to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.
The declining record became the straw that broke the camel's back. Abramovich finally made the decision to fire Mourinho, and the two parties broke up peacefully.
Despite leaving the Blue Bridge, Mourinho did not complain about Abramovich. He also said: "We have never been friends, just an employment relationship. We have never been close, but he is a person I respect.
."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This also laid the groundwork for the subsequent reunion between the two parties.
But this time, it seems they are about to separate again.
Because Abu has a better prey - Pan Yi!
In his opinion, Pan Yi is younger, has more potential, and is more "crazy"!
No, actually it cannot be described as "crazy".
It should be said that the young man in front of Abu now has a calm temperament that is incompatible with his age. Even after hearing such a generous offer, he didn't even raise his eyelids, let alone agree immediately. p>
And this kind of temperament is actually an important factor in ensuring its success!
Abu nodded slightly.
He has decided to capture Pan Yi at all costs!
And he has already learned his lesson from the first time he broke up with Mourinho, which is to "distrust people and do not trust them".
[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on new books. It allows me to switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]
Since Pan Yi is to be appointed as his head coach and can take charge of all competitive affairs of Chelsea, then he should not interfere with his work at all and let him be a Ferguson-like figure!
"Very good, we will wait for good news." Abu smiled at Pan Yi, "During this period, if you have any ideas, you can raise them. For example, the salary you want..."
"Oh, this specific number is not too important." Pan Yi also smiled, and then said, "As long as it can rank first in the world."
Abu: "..."
Bruce Buck: "..."
Ron Gourlay: "..."
This is actually one of Pan Yi's strategies.
When I was in Hamburg, the club had no money, so wages and things like that were really not very important, it was almost enough.
But for a big dog like Chelsea, how can it be okay if they don’t kill them severely?
According to Pan Yi's understanding, Abramovich is indeed very willing to spend money on coaches.
If we were to count the coaches with the highest annual salary in the history of football, the head coach of Chelsea at the time would account for half of them!
This includes Mourinho, Scolari, and Villas-Boas who have already coached Chelsea, as well as Conte, Tuchel and others who will come to Chelsea in the future.
Moreover, a high salary will not only increase the real money in your pocket, but also help to quickly improve your status within the team.
The reason is very simple. If the head coach has the highest weekly salary in a team, which means the most famous person is the head coach, then, what qualifications do you players have to show off?
"Now...who is the highest-paid coach in the world now?" Abramovich turned to ask Bruce Buck.
Bruce Buck swallowed his saliva and replied: "It's Guardiola from Bayern Munich. His current annual salary is about 17 million euros, which is equivalent to a weekly salary of 320,000 euros."
"Oh, that's not bad." Abu nodded.
In fact, when Mourinho entered the palace for the second time, his annual salary had already reached 15 million euros, which was actually second in the world after Guardiola.
Now that Abramovich wants to replace Mourinho with Pan Yi, is it reasonable to have a higher annual salary than him?
Thinking about it again, Guardiola was defeated several times by Pan Yi in the Bundesliga with a lineup like Bayern's. It makes more sense.
From another perspective, Pan Yi dares to ask for the world's number one annual salary, which means that he has the confidence to be the world's number one head coach.
For this reason, Abu will not be stingy with the check in his hand!
"If you agree to come to Chelsea, I will give you 18 million... No, let's make it up. An annual salary of 20 million euros will make you the number one in the world as you wish!" Abramovich showed a confident smile to Pan Yi.
For Abu, as long as it can be settled with money, it is much easier.
And Pan Yi also gave Abu a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.
As expected of Abu, he is straightforward and decisive in doing things!
It’s really cool!
Pan Yi really didn't want to decide which club to go to so quickly, but...
He gave too much!
20 million euros!
More than 100 million RMB! A small goal a year can be achieved so easily.
This does not include the prize money for the championship.
The main reason is that Pan Yi’s original salary in Hamburg was only 1 million euros a year, but now it has suddenly jumped 20 times, which is indeed a bit scary.
Even though he is already a potential billionaire with more than 10,000 Bitcoins, he still can't hold back his excitement.
No, the character cannot collapse and must be maintained.
With a glass of wine, Pan Yi managed his expression again, and then looked at Abu with a slight smile: "Mr. Abu, if you are willing to give me the world's largest annual salary, then you must also have high performance requirements for me. The world's No. 1 player should at least win the Triple Crown to start, otherwise he will pack up and leave?"
As we all know, although Abramovich is willing to spend money on coaches, he is also ruthless when it comes to firing coaches.
His performance in coaching and leading the team can be described as strict.
Think about it, Mourinho led the team to win the Premier League for the first time, then defended it, finished second in the third season, but was fired;
Ancelotti won the domestic double, then finished second in the Premier League, but was also fired;
If we say they all played in the league, they were close to playing in the Champions League, but Di Matteo led the team to win the Champions League (the normal timeline of Pan Yi's previous life), and later they couldn't play well in the league and were dismissed.
So when working under Abramovich, is it really considered a failure if he doesn’t win the Triple Crown?
Even for Pan Yi, the pressure is a bit too much.
After all, what he has is the best coaching tactical system in the world, which only means that he is "smarter" and more "advanced" than other coaches. In fact, there are many things that he cannot control.
He doesn't have a plug-in like "Football Modifier", which can directly modify player data, and can even directly determine the outcome of a game by reading files!
Especially as time goes by, Pan Yi's advanced tactics are constantly being learned and applied by other coaches, and his advantage in this regard will be further reduced.
So if Abu really has such high requirements for Pan Yi, then Pan Yi also has doubts.
Looking at anyone in the world, even if he is given a "nuclear weapon" that allows him to put any player in the world into his team at will, he would not dare to guarantee that he can win the Triple Crown, right? p>
The big reason why football has become the number one sport in the world is that this sport is full of uncertainties. Even a star-studded Galaxy Battleship may capsize and lose to a low-level team, let alone lose to those strong teams in the Champions League.
Team up.
When Pan Yi said this, Abu also laughed.
He stared into Pan Yi's eyes and said: "Are you testing whether I, the boss, understands football? Of course I will not make such excessive demands! I also know that only a handful of teams have been able to win the Triple Crown in history.
Countless, no one has won the Triple Crown in a row."
CEO Ron Gourray on the side also said at the right time: "Yes, we understand the laws of football. Even if you are in Hamburg, didn't it take you two years to build the team? So we will give you plenty of time.
."
Abramovich nodded and said: "I don't want to just be based on the status quo, or achieve results in one or two years. I hope that in the next ten years, Chelsea will have excellent competitiveness in the Premier League and European competitions, especially the Champions League!
”
Pan Yi nodded slightly.
From this point of view, Chelsea's sincerity towards itself is really sufficient.
Promise the greatest power, give the most money, and there are no demanding results!
"You must play well in the Champions League." Pan Yi suddenly laughed, "I just happen to owe you a Champions League championship..."
The "owe" Pan Yi refers to is that when he was an assistant coach at AC Milan, he helped the team defeat Chelsea in the semi-finals, preventing them from entering the final.
And if Pan Yi's appearance hadn't disrupted the normal timeline, Chelsea would have faced their enemy Barcelona in the semi-finals, and eliminated the powerful Cosmos team with a total score of 3:2 to head into the Champions League final.
Finally, in the final, Chelsea faced Bayern, and even with the whole game passive, they relied on Cech to save Robben's penalty kick and Drogba's header to draw a draw, dragging the game into a penalty shootout, and finally
Win.
This will also be the first time in Chelsea's history that they win the Champions League.
All in all, it was Pan Yi's appearance that delayed Chelsea and Abramovich's dream of winning the Champions League for who knows how many years...
And if Pan Yi goes to Chelsea and helps them win back the Champions League, will this be considered to make up for this shortcoming?
Of course, to the ears of Abu and others, the "owe" Pan Yi said did not have so much deeper meaning.
Of course they can't hear the huge message contained in this short sentence!
But they heard that Pan Yi seemed to have some intention to join Chelsea!
In this way, today's game will not be in vain, and their efforts will not be in vain!
Not long after, the match between Italy and England entered the second half.
Just five minutes later, Damian of the Italian team made a direct pass. Candreva got rid of Baines on the right and passed in. Balotelli headed the ball from a small angle into the near corner, 2 to 1! Italy took the lead again!
This whole process coincides with what Pan Yi just "predicted"!
And for this goal, just as Pan Yi said, Gary Cahill really failed to guard Balotelli.
Abramovich once again stared at his two executives.
"He is a god! He is my coach, it can only be him!" Abramovich has been echoing this sentence in his heart.
