Chapter 134 Abu's Condition

After this game, the Manchester City team did not leave.Because the team recently moved to the UK and Germany, nearly half of the time was on the road. By the end of the game, the team was exhausted.

After discussion, the coaching staff decided to take a day off in London tonight and return to Manchester the next day.

Because after this series of games, the team will usher in a one-week rest period.

The coaching staff did not arrange corresponding rigid rules for the players, but everyone consciously rested in the room, and no one went shopping or playing.

Because he is the head coach of the team, Duncan enjoys the treatment of one person and one room.At night, Duncan locked himself in his room alone, studying the team's November games.

There are only three league games in November, but coupled with the UEFA Cup, FA Cup and League Cup, the team's game tasks are extremely heavy.

However, the depth of Manchester City's lineup is actually not enough. The gap between the team's bench and the main force is too large, resulting in a lack of multi-line combat capabilities.

For Manchester City, fighting on four fronts is a daydream, so they have to give up selectively.

Therefore, it is necessary to plan carefully, which games can be given up, and which games must be focused on.

The league cannot be given up. Among the three cup competitions, the UEFA Cup is the most important, while the FA Cup and the League Cup are relatively light and can be given up.

Just as Duncan was deliberating carefully, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Open the door, there is a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes!The middle-aged man looked respectful, but also carried a wave of self-confidence.

He was holding a briefcase in his hand, and he looked like a secretary of a big shot or something.

"Good day, is this Steuben Duncan?"

"You are?" Duncan was puzzled. He looked very familiar with this person, and he was sure he didn't know him.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your rest! The thing is like this, my boss wants to see you, please do me a favor, come over!" The middle-aged man had a faint smile on his face, looking very approachable and friendly Don't be flattering.

"Who is your boss?" Duncan had a guess in his mind.

"Abramovich!"

Following the middle-aged man to the top floor of the hotel, Duncan met Abramovich in a magnificently decorated presidential suite.

The richest man in Russia is also the owner of the Chelsea club.

At the same time, he is also the one who pioneered the "Golden Yuan Storm"...

Such a person, what would be the intention of meeting Duncan?

"Mr. Duncan, please sit down!" Abramovich acted like a gentleman, but just sitting there was full of grace, which made people feel awe.

In Duncan's mind, he couldn't help but think of a recent rumor, saying that although Grant led the team to rebound, what Abramovich wants more is a world-renowned coach with both fame and ability. Grant is obviously not qualified.

So Abramovich has been in frequent contact with the agent teams of many famous coaches recently, inviting them to coach Chelsea.

Under such circumstances, when Abramovich invited Duncan, his intentions were obvious.

It just so happened that in today's game, Duncan led the team to defeat Chelsea led by Grant, which gave Abramovich a little inspiration.

Can't Duncan be invited?

In terms of fame, Duncan is the head coach with the most limelight in the Premier League recently.In terms of strength, a [-]-game winning streak and an [-]-game winning streak are enough to be proud of the crowd.

So Abramovich came to Duncan for a reason.

Facts have proved that what Abramovich said was exactly what Duncan expected.

"Mr. Duncan, although we are meeting for the first time, I have been famous for you for a long time. I believe you have guessed my reason for coming here this time. That's right, when I meet you today, it is to invite you To coach Chelsea."

After speaking, Abu had a smile on his face.

In his opinion, as long as an olive branch is offered, no one will refuse it.At Chelsea, a manager will have access to financial support that is difficult for any manager to obtain.

As long as Abramovich is willing, they can buy any player in the world.

Abu didn't believe that someone would reject such an offer.

Duncan didn't say anything, just sat there with a blank expression on his face.

Abramovich's vision is naturally very good, and in terms of investment and team popularity, Chelsea is better than Manchester City.

In terms of capital strength, Abramovich is the richest man in Russia, but a large part of Thaksin's assets has been frozen in Thailand.

However, as a time traveler, Duncan has a different perspective from others.

There is no free lunch in the world, if you want to get it, you have to pay accordingly.

As a chairman, Abramovich is synonymous with moodiness.In eight years, he fired eight head coaches.

Scolari, Ancelotti, Guus Hiddink...the world famous coaches stayed in the Chelsea coaching position for a period of time like a revolving lantern, and then left with a large amount of liquidated damages, and among these people , the longest one was Mourinho for three years.

Eight years later, Abramovich finally invited Mourinho back...

Therefore, Chelsea is a place to make money, but it is not a stage where the head coach can flex his muscles.

And sometimes, Abramovich will give pointers to his team. Shevchenko joined Chelsea that year, which was a big deal of his...

But even so, would anyone not be tempted by the temptation of a large sum of gold dollars?

"Honestly speaking, Chelsea's invitation is very tempting. I'm afraid no one in this world will refuse the offer from Chelsea's head coach." Duncan said.

Abu's face turned pale, and a smug smile began to appear on his face.

But Duncan's next words made Abu's face suddenly clouded.

"But I still plan to refuse." Duncan said with a smile.

Abu showed an incredulous expression, and looked at Duncan with a deep puzzlement.

"I think, what I mean, I haven't expressed it completely." Then Abramovich showed the cultivation of a successful businessman, and then he rearranged his clothes and made a harmless smile: "Inviting you to Chelsea, I am ready After careful consideration, I think you have the ability to lead Chelsea and get what I want. For this reason, I have prepared an annual salary of 500 million pounds per year for you. In addition, I will not have any restrictions on your transfer funds. Even if You want to buy Ronaldinho, I will also talk to Barcelona..."

Abu talked eloquently and stated his conditions.

Such a condition is difficult to refuse in front of any head coach.

Nowadays, the salary of the head coach is not as high as that of the players.The head coach with the highest annual salary in the world is Mourinho, who has just been fired by Abramovich. His annual salary is 420 million pounds.

"Sure enough." Duncan smiled.

Abu also laughed. In this world, there is nothing that money cannot do.If it exists, it is because the amount of money is not enough.

"However, I still refuse."

Duncan then showed an even brighter smile.

Back in his room, Duncan thought of Abu's "saw a ghost" expression, and it was funny to think about it.

From the very beginning, he made up his mind that he would not accept Abramovich's conditions. For Duncan, a long-term guarantee is more impressive than the high benefits in front of him.

Besides, even someone like Mourinho who has six championships in three years can be driven away, Duncan will also worry, if he wins the championship, will Abramovich turn his face and be ruthless?
A businessman values ​​profit over parting, so it is better to be careful at all times.

Taking a step back, Duncan has been in Manchester City for almost a year. How can he easily abandon the foundation he has built up so hard?
Of course, Duncan also has his own ideas about his future plans.He knows what the future of Manchester City looks like, and he has no intention of working in Manchester City for the rest of his life.
