Chapter 189

Twenty-eight million pounds. When Lin Yi's transfer price was announced by Porto and Chelsea at the same time, everyone might have been stunned.

This is definitely a blockbuster in the summer transfer market. Chelsea used a lot of pounds to create this explosive news.

"The world has gone mad, the Russian is destroying the transfer market!", this is the loud cry of The Times in the sports section.

This is really crazy. When Ferguson bought the ownership of Ronaldo for 1700 million euros last year, people once said that Ferguson's approach this time was impulsive, but this time they can't say that Chelsea was impulsive, because No one is willing to spend nearly 3500 million euros on an impulse.

It took only one month for the Chelsea people to break the record of the summer transfer bid king just created. Drogba's 3200 million euros are already outdated.

The Ivorian elephant stayed on the throne of the transfer bid king for less than a month before being robbed of all the limelight by his future teammates.

This is Kenyon's second Chelsea hurricane in England following last year's sweeping raids, and he has once again become the target of journalists.

When Kenyon failed to buy big-name players repeatedly, many people were waiting to see the jokes of this guy, but now they are all shocked.

Whoever dared to spend such a large amount of money on a child under the age of 17 was either a pure madman or a genius.

I don't know how others will evaluate Kenyon's crazy move this time, but the Russian tycoon is obviously very satisfied with the reaction of his league opponents.

Lin Yi signed a contract with Chelsea for a period of four years, starting with an annual salary of 250 million euros, which will increase by 50 each year, and the championship bonus will be calculated separately.

In fact, Kenyon had prepared a six-year contract to tie the kid, but Mendes didn't agree, and he was only going to sign for three years.

For Mendes, he knows Lin Yi's value very well. There is too much room for improvement in his contract, and there is no need for him to restrict him with a long-term contract.

He believed that Lin Yi was not the kind of shooting star who became popular overnight and then quickly died down. It was an idiot to tie him to death in one place so early.

If you have something good, you are not afraid that no one will recognize it. Now Mendes signed this contract with this mentality, and Lin Yi also expressed no doubt about it.

Lin Yi believes in Mendes' judgment and has confidence in his ability. This is his first big contract in England, but it will definitely not be the last.

This salary is not considered a high salary in the Premier League, and Mendes knows this, but he didn't care about it.Because he got what he wanted most, about Lin Yi's personal portrait rights, which was more valuable to him than those visible salaries.

As long as there are performances on the field as a basis, he believes that the benefits brought to Lin Yi by this portrait right will surely make Peter Kenyon feel regretful.

Because within a month of Lin Yi lifting the Champions Cup alone, Mendes has signed three commercial contracts for him, each of which is higher than his annual salary.

"If players in the 21st century still rely on the salary of the game to live, then after retiring, the only way to wait for them is bankruptcy. This is a society full of business opportunities. We must learn to develop the maximum value of each person, not rely on The salary I earn from playing football lasts my whole life."

Mendes chose Chelsea not because of the high salary, but because he believed that the partnership between Lin Yi and Mourinho would win more championships and attention.

The Premier League is a platform that attracts the attention of others, which is why Mendes chose this place as Lin Yi's next stop.

The world of football is so realistic. As long as there is a higher degree of attention, this person has infinite value, and this is also what the merchants are looking for.

Otherwise, no one can explain why Beckham is not a World Cup champion, but his income is several times or even ten times that of Zidane.

That guy may be one of the few football players in this football circle who can rank among the rich list of sports figures. This is the magic of attention.

Football is a way to be famous, and the remaining opportunities to make money depend on everyone's luck and opportunities. Mendes believes in his own eyesight.

Therefore, Kenyon's idea of ​​signing a long-term contract was rejected by Mendes. He believed that Lin Yi's value would explode geometrically.

"The world's most valuable player, the most commercially valuable player in the world, this is the goal I set for that kid." Mendes said.

Now everyone feels the Russian's desire for the league championship, and his move is undoubtedly a challenge to the traditional giants.

"Chelsea are just trying to make the Premier League fun because no one wants to watch Manchester United and Arsenal lift the trophy every year."

When Kenyon was interviewed by reporters, what he said was quite straightforward. He was telling the rest of the championship opponents that Chelsea desires the championship.

In the summer, nearly [-] million euros were poured in again. This is Kenyon's deadly threat to Manchester United and Arsenal. The championship, Chelsea is going to be decided!

But now Ferguson didn't have time to trouble Kenyon, because this old man who was about to go crazy knew who to ask to settle the debt.

When it was learned that Lin Yi had signed with Chelsea, the most unlucky person was not the fans of Porto, but Mendes who planned all the deals.

Because this guy's phone was almost blown up by Ferguson, who was running away, and the old Scottish man is now killing Mendes' heart. If Mendes appears at Old Trafford at this time, Ferguson will bet that he Gotta bury that guy under the pitch turf.

Compared to Ferguson's irascibility, Wenger only politely expressed his regret. The Frenchman really felt sorry for missing Lin Yi.

The main reason is because Ferguson and Wenger are very clear that Lin Yi's joining Chelsea can indeed bring a change to Stamford Bridge.

The opponent's strength has been enhanced, which is the last thing they want to see. It seems that next season's Premier League will be a brutal battle between dragons and tigers.

Not only will the struggle between Arsenal and Manchester United continue, the sudden rise of Chelsea has seriously affected the dominance of the two powerhouses.

"When I saw the news that the kid joined Chelsea, I was as uncomfortable as if a rib had been taken out. Those damn Londoners took away the future of Manchester United!" This is what Ferguson said to himself in private. From what his old friend said, it can be heard that this old guy is indeed very melancholy.

But the melancholy can only make Ferguson more angry, but he can't change the fact that the difference of 800 million pounds is indeed beyond his imagination.

But he couldn't accuse Mendes of anything. After all, Lin Yi was his client, and the agent's biggest role was to help the players get the best benefits.

This time Chelsea used money to settle everything, at least Ferguson thought so. After all, he was not crazy enough to spend 2800 million pounds for Lin Yi, but the old Scottish man would soon give up such an idea. Because the news about Chelsea is more than that.

The CEO of Chelsea will not pay attention to the opinions of the outside world. Anyway, he has got the result he wants, so he can say whatever others like.

Moreover, less than two days after he released the news of Lin Yi's transfer to Chelsea, he once again attracted everyone's attention to Stamford Bridge, because Chelsea had officially announced that Mourinho had decided to coach at Stamford Bridge. The contract was signed just 24 hours ago.

The annual salary is 500 million pounds. Not only the news of Mourinho's joining shocked many people, but the annual salary given by Chelsea also surprised everyone.

You know, Sir Alex Ferguson, who once brought countless honors to the Manchester United team, has an annual salary of less than 300 million pounds. How does this compare?
A guy who has just stepped into the circle of professional head coaches for less than three years has become so valuable after winning the UEFA Cup and the Champions Cup!

And this guy can also bring his own coaching team from Porto, including Brito, Faria, and goalkeeper coach Loro.

Chelsea will pay a lot of money for Mourinho's coaching staff, but Kenyon seems indifferent to this, and did not even bargain.

In addition to Lin Yi, who has already confirmed his transfer, and Carvalho and Ferreira, who are still under negotiation according to gossip, Mourinho has almost moved a whole team.

"A big gamble for the Russians!" This is the headline added by BBC TV when reporting this news, and it also represents the views of many people.

Anyway, many fans of Manchester United are not optimistic about the guy who knocked them out of the quarter-finals of the Champions League. They all hope that Mourinho will make a big fall.

"I really don't know what miraculous ability that guy who has only won the Champions Cup once dare to say is more valuable than our old Sir Alex."

This kind of skeptical voice does not only come from the fans, but also from the mouths of many media people. 500 million pounds is really crazy.

"This is an era when the value of trophies is magnified. Who can imagine that a championship can bring a young coach an income of 500 million?"

Mourinho's high salary has attracted a lot of criticism, but Chelsea people don't take it seriously, because they just have money and are willing to invest in this way.

"We have to give a manager who can win the UEFA Cup and the Champions League back-to-back a contract that fits his status. This is Chelsea's recognition of his value."

Kenyon is not afraid that the explosive effect of this kind of news will be stronger. He even publicly stated that if Chelsea can win the league championship or the Champions League trophy, Mourinho can get an extra 200 million pounds in bonus income , The same is true for the players, Chelsea are willing to pay the money.

This guy has made it clear that the horses and horses will compete with Manchester United for the dominance of the Premier League. This kind of open confrontation will start this summer and will continue.

A four-year contract, this is the contract Chelsea provided to Mourinho, but Mourinho himself knows that he actually only has one season.

Champion, this pressure will accompany him throughout the season, until the end, either become the ruler of the Premier League, or he will become the next Ranieri.

However, this feeling did not make Mourinho feel uneasy, but gave this guy a feeling of excitement, and he was very happy to accept such a challenge.

Last season, he had two real fights with Ferguson that made his blood boil, and it seems that he will have more such experiences this season.

Ferguson, Wenger, Houllier, these famous guys in the Premier League are all waiting to compete with themselves, just thinking about it makes people excited.

"A militant fighting dog, this kind of environment of crisis on all sides, is his favorite." This is Mendes' evaluation of Mourinho. Of course, the kid Mourinho taught, in the In terms of aggressiveness, he is even more serious than his mentor. This is a pair of standard lunatics.

In fact, many teams in La Liga have contacted Mendes, but this feeling of being the ruler in the Chelsea team will make Mourinho feel comfortable.

Everything here will be built by him, bit by bit, Chelsea will belong to his team from now on, and he will be the decision maker.

The most important thing is that those opponents will make him full of fighting spirit. If there is a chance to overthrow those people to the ground, Mourinho will definitely spare no effort.

However, what others see is not Mourinho's desire to fight his opponents. They are more focused on the high annual salary Chelsea paid to Mourinho. For some traditional forces , Chelsea's approach is to wantonly destroy the salary structure of the Premier League.

Now the main core of many teams is a little bit emotional, and many people also take this opportunity to threaten the team to give themselves a substantial salary increase.

Otherwise, the agents of those players will combine their agent's name with Chelsea in newspapers and media from time to time.

There are not a few people who do this, and Kenyon is happy to see this situation appear. When more and more people want to use Chelsea's name, he did not choose to object, but always maintained an ambiguous attitude in front of the media. attitude, as if every business was planned by him.

This keeps the nerves of those reporters in a state of excitement, and now Kenyon has successfully become the focus of attention of the entire English media.

Even when this guy goes to a restaurant for a meal, there will be reporters following him, because no one knows if he is going to secretly meet with some player's agent.

Don't pretend to be a low-key person. This is the decision made by the Russians after they bought the Chelsea team. There is no need to talk about those hypocritical etiquette with competitors.

Now Chelsea has simply become the enemy of the entire Premier League management. The teams they have stirred up are not at peace. Many team owners have to spend a lot of money to adjust the salary structure of their clubs. This has made many small clubs feel the pressure of survival.

But in order to maintain the internal stability of their team, they have to pay this money, otherwise players and fans will point the finger at the club.

"That damn Kenyon screwed up everything. He ruined the business model of our small and medium-sized clubs. He is responsible for it all!"

This growl of dissatisfaction is not issued by one person, but the CEOs and owners of many teams have issued dissatisfaction and accusations against Kenyon.

But Kenyon no longer cares whether he is playing a role hated by everyone, making everyone fear Chelsea, this is what he wants to do.

Mourinho signed with Chelsea. This combination was described by Aspen as a combination of two upstarts without any foundation or stability.

Can a young coach with only three years of coaching experience manage such a money team?Is he really qualified for such a high salary?

These issues have been constantly discussed in newspapers and on TV. This time, the Chelsea team has been very successful in being the protagonist of the transfer market.

Anyway, many media are looking at Chelsea's big move with such an attitude. They don't think that such a crazy transfer can bring the championship.

"I don't know where the courage comes from such a team with no stability at all, saying that they can win the championship!"

Ferguson was the first to open fire on Chelsea, not only because Lin Yi was robbed by his opponent, but also because he was coached by Mourinho this time, and he lost twice to his opponent last season. It feels like the old man planned to set off a war of words in the media from the very beginning.

Even if the league hasn't started yet, he doesn't want his opponent to have a peaceful life. If he can disturb the opponent's psychology, that is his biggest goal.

In particular, the Chelsea team is not only buying people, but they are still dealing with those who are not the main force, and the hearts of the team are floating.

Glenshire was the first to be cleared from the team. Although this guy is very resistant, the annual salary paid by Chelsea is indeed not low, and he can also participate in the Champions League when he goes to Porto. For Glenshire, Not a bad choice, not to mention he can also play the main force.

If he stays at Chelsea, then he can only sit on the bench and spend another depressing season, which is an unacceptable fact for him.

There are not a few people in his situation. Many players selected by Ranieri are not what Mourinho needs, and a major cleanup is inevitable.

Kenyon's busy work is far from over. He has just ignited the flames of the transfer market. England this summer will be very lively.

After signing the contract, Mourinho began to open his own transfer list. In fact, he didn't want many people, but each one was worth more than ten million euros.

But Abramovich only confessed to Kenyon, "Do my best to meet Jose's needs, I just need to see the final result."

With this decree, there is only one thing Kenyon has to do, and that is to face Mendez, wave his check book again, and wait to be stabbed.

A lot of pounds thrown out are now quickly building a complete outline for Mourinho's Chelsea team. . .

The bloody storm of the Premier League is about to kick off. . .

(The Lakers are really non-stop recently... various gossip, all kinds of gossip headlines, alas...)
