Chapter 354 The power of dreams

This night, London once again entered the carnival, and the Champions League trophy once again came to London, and Li Yuxin was also deeply touched. I remember someone said, "Football is as wonderful as a woman who cannot be controlled. The rules of football are even more similar to women. They are emotional, moody, and elusive. They will give you joy and great pain."In fact, chasing football honors is quite similar to chasing women in life.At present, there are two ways to chase women: one is to be willing to spend money and use money to get the other party’s approval. Unfortunately, some women can’t be won by money alone (although the times have changed, such people are becoming less and less);Of course, this method also has risks. Even if you are willing to insist, if your family is bare, then many rich and beautiful people will not look short and poor even if they wait 1 years.

So what if someone is willing to spend money and knows how to persevere?It's hard to imagine them not being successful.If in real life, you can ensure these two points at the same time to chase women, the hope of realizing your dream is bound to be great.What about the football world?If a boss not only has abundant and amazing financial resources, but also has the courage to stick to his dream for many years and never give up, then what honor can they not win?
After Moratti invested for 16 years and Abramovich spent 8 years, they finally succeeded.To be sure, the first prerequisite for their success is to spend money, but another condition is more important than this prerequisite: persistence.In today's football, many fans of the so-called traditional giants look down on these bosses who spend money and spend money, because "the Jinyuan giants have no temperament and no experience in winning championships" and so on.However, after years of persistence, things like temperament and experience will naturally appear.The success of Moratti and Abramovich proves that the principle of "Gold Dollars + Persistence = Realizing Dreams" is reasonable.

And Cheng Wen on the side also wrote in the report: At the award ceremony, when Chelsea boss Abramovich took over the trophy, people saw his extremely complicated expression.A little bit of excitement, a little bit of surprise, and maybe a little bit of satisfaction.Now, it is time for people to seriously think about some questions: Abramovich and Moratti, another legendary chairman of football, have been crowned Champions League within 2 years. What are the similarities between the stories of the two?Can Jin Yuan shake the foundation of the football world?If it can, what kind of prerequisites are needed for Jinyuan to leverage football?

In fact, Abramovich's expression today is not unheard of. In 2010, when Moratti used 16 years of bankrupt investment to send Inter Milan to the European championship, people also saw similar expressions on Moratti's face.Of course, the mainstream European media are reluctant to compare Abramovich and Moratti on the grounds that "Moratti really loves football, while Abramovich treats football as a game" (Gazzetta dello Sport).

However, people cannot ignore one point: Abramovich and Moratti are both trying to turn a mid-range team before they took over into a European king; the method they both chose at the beginning of their administration was two words: burn money; however, after years of spending money and investing, they found that the crazy burning of money by one could not help them realize their dreams quickly; later, due to various reasons, they both slowed down the intensity of burning money.
isn't it?Before Moratti took over Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri was a team that once fought for relegation; Moratti invested wildly in the first 10 years, and the introduction of Ronaldo, Vieri and other big players were all football stars at the time. At the turn of the century, Inter Milan had a budget of more than 1 million euros for a transfer period. You must know that football in that era did not have the current inflation.However, throwing money did not bring Inter Milan close to the goal of winning the Champions League. Instead, it made Moratti fall into the laughing stock of "more money is stupid".However, starting in 08, affected by the European economic crisis, and because Moratti's capital chain was broken, Inter Milan turned to the road of small business.At this time, Inter Milan won the Champions League.

Abu's experience is quite similar.Chelsea weren't the strongest team in the Premier League when Abramovich pointed the finger at London.After Abramovich took over, he set off a terrifying investment storm, and Chelsea quickly became the top team in the Premier League.However, for the sake of the Champions League, Abramovich fired a large number of famous coaches from Ranieri, Mourinho to Ancelotti, Scolari, and Villas-Boas, and invited generations of superstars such as Shevchenko and Ballack, but found that the Blues were still unable to approach the goal of the Champions League.In recent years, due to various reasons, Abramovich once slowed down investment. Not only did the Blues fall into the plight of overall aging and insufficient bench reserves, but also made him the number one football chairman, being overtaken by Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and even Russia.But just at this time, the Champions League champion came.

Abou is luckier than Moratti.Moratti won the domestic championship after more than ten years in Inter Milan, and Abramovich waited for less than two years; Moratti took Inter Milan for 16 years and waited for the Champions League championship.But the two walked the same path: burning money-transformation-reaping, different stories, the same experience, and the same result.

So how should fans interpret the similar experiences and gains of Moratti and Abramovich?Sensationalists will say, "Moratti spent nearly 16 billion net worth for Inter Milan in 10, and the 2010 Champions League championship is the reward for Moratti's 16 years. The law of God's reward is: Although the reward may be late, what should come will eventually come."This kind of emotion can also be used on Abramovich.Theorists would say: "Money cannot make football, but football cannot lack money; so if a rich man has a dream about football, he should persist and wait, and eventually he will wait for his time."

On the third day back to London, Li Yuxin contacted Bell. Although he changed history and let Bell come to Arsenal, Bell still shined under Wenger's training. The club will definitely sell.

In the final analysis, the world of professional football is a world of money. Now if someone offers [-] million to buy him, Wenger will definitely sell it, because he would be a fool if he doesn’t sell it. He can use this money for more things, and even rebuild a team without his own lineup, and it will not affect the team’s combat effectiveness.

I believe that if someone buys [-] million, Bell himself will leave happily, and the relationship with Arsenal, his old club, will still be very good in the future, because this is a transaction that everyone is happy with. The team made money, so did he.

In the past two years, Arsenal's biggest achievement is not only getting rid of the championship, but also the team's entire tactical system that has gradually formed. Even if Bell and Walcott are sold now, Wenger can find a suitable candidate as soon as possible to fill it.

Of course, this is based on a major premise, that is, you have to grasp the scale of selling people. If you sell out the trident of Li Yuxin, Bale and Walcott in the frontcourt, it will still have a considerable impact on Arsenal.

But if you just sell Bale, or sell one of the players, there will definitely be an impact, but not too much.

Therefore, on the surface, Arsenal has sold many people in the past few years, but in fact they have not sold people blindly.

According to the excavation by the reporter of The Sun, a potential transfer has officially surfaced, that is, by this summer, Gareth Bale, the No. 5000 superstar in the Tottenham Hotspur team, will transfer to Real Madrid for a super high price of [-] million euros.

The Sun, this is a well-known newspaper in England. They poached the inside story of Beckham's transfer at the beginning, and provided photos of Peter Kenyon, who was working at Manchester United at the time, meeting with Real Madrid executives, and they also broke out many times. Some explosive inside stories are called pervasive by England fans.

This news from The Sun immediately ignited the global media. While everyone was amazed at Real Madrid's generosity, they were also amazed at Arsenal's operations.

There are quite a few media speculations that the reason why Bale decided to leave Manchester City in the summer is not only because he was very satisfied with the sky-high transfer fee of 5000 million euros given by Real Madrid and three times the annual salary of Arsenal, but more importantly, Real Madrid promised to build a super strong team with him as the core.

And Li Yuxin remembers that day: Mendes went to Barcelona to meet with Barcelona's consultants
The reason why Jorge Mendes is sitting in the coffee shop of the Princess Sofia Gran Hotel, thinking about the Camp Nou not far away, seems to be still echoing the shock when he saw this spectacular stadium for the first time, is because someone just called him and told him, long time no see, talk in the coffee shop
The middle-aged man sitting in front of him is called Bach, an agent who is very familiar with and understands Argentine football.

But at the Nou Camp, Bac has a very lofty status. He does not have any position in the club, but he can meet with the chairman and technical director at any time. He is also the current Barcelona chairman Laporta's campaign think tank. Vital role because he represents Cruyff.

Jorge Mendes used to work in Barcelona. He heard many people talk about Barci. He heard that he was Cruyff’s most trusted person. The relationship between the two dates back to the 80s. After Cruyff retired, he worked with Gustavo, the most powerful agent in Argentina at the time, to build an agent empire and bring Argentine players rich in stars to the world.

Although this plan later failed, and Gustavo's agent dominance was quickly replaced by Muscati, Cruyff made friends with Butch, and the two dated for decades. After Cruyff left the Barcelona coach, Bacci worked as a sports reporter for Barcelona TV [-], and was later recommended by Cruyff to join Laporta's think tank.

Over the years, Butch has always been Cruyff's most trusted assistant.

Jorge Mendes was a little surprised that Baqi knew that he came to Barcelona and made an appointment for the first time, but he was not an idiot, and he vaguely guessed something. He knew that Barcelona was doing everything possible to pursue his employer.

"I'm going to the UK this time, I think I'm here to deliver football tickets and take my family to Germany, right?" Butch ordered a cappuccino, but he didn't move it in front of him, and asked with a smile.

"Well, everyone is here." Jorge Mendes nodded with a smile.

"Is Mathias okay? Will he still be causing trouble everywhere?" Bucky asked with a smile, who was familiar with Mendes' players.

This stinky boy has been the master of unrest since he was a child. When he was in Argentina, he caused troubles, robbed, beat people, and threatened. He seemed to be a gangster, but Bucky was not surprised by this, because he was quite Many professional football stars come from poor backgrounds, their family members are of poor quality, and members of the underworld are even more uncommon.

Therefore, in many cases, what an agent has to do is not only to help players deal with business and life matters, but also to help players take care of their families, such as going to the police station to bail out that damned man who was arrested for intimidation. Arrested brother.

"

"Probably not. He plans to go to Madrid to develop, and he will probably pass when the contract expires this year."

"Oh" Bucky understood a little bit, the word London has too many meanings behind it.

"Have you thought about coming to Barcelona? I believe that all Barcelona people will miss Gareth's speed. He has come and opened a high-end restaurant by himself, which should have great potential for development. And I believe that if it is about funding, there should be no problem. I am also very interested in investing."

After a pause, Butch laughed and said, "At least in the future, you don't have to worry about not being able to taste the chef's craftsmanship."
"Haha" Jorge Mendes felt happy when he heard Bach boasting about his employer, which made him feel more frustrated than praising himself in person. "In the future, if he makes a name for himself in London, I will let him start a business in Barcelona."

"Where in London?" Butch asked again.

"Financial District" Jorge Mendez didn't hide it either, and it's no secret, "Mrs. Lee's shop."

"Oh" Butch wasn't surprised, because he guessed right. In the past few years, Shuo Shuo used Arsenal to set up a real estate company, invested in a lot of projects, and bought some shops with great potential, so he had already guessed that this would be the case, and judging from Jorge Mendes' expression of gratitude when he mentioned Shuo Shuo, the location must be quite good, and the rent must have been given a friendly price.

Thinking of this, Bach also knew that he couldn't continue to make such a detour, "Jorge Mendez, for the sake of our old friendship, I hope you can answer my question honestly."

"Okay, you say." Jorge Mendes picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip, and concealed his embarrassment a little bit, because he knew very well that Bucky would definitely ask the question.

"Has Bale really decided to move to Real Madrid?" Butch stared at Jorge Mendes seriously and asked.

While drinking coffee, Jorge Mendes blocked it with the quilt for a full three seconds, then put it down, stuck out his tongue and licked the coffee froth around his mouth, "Yes, the conditions they offered are too tempting."

"5000 million euros? 30 weekly salary?" Bach was a little taken aback.

"Yes, 5000 million euros, cash, 30 weekly salary, after tax"

Butch was almost a little scared by the series of numbers in front of him, because he swore that there is absolutely no second player in today's football that can offer such an attractive price, let alone Arsenal, even Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid will not do business, but if it is Manchester City or Paris, no matter who they want, Barcelona will consider selling!
"So, it's settled?" Butch was still a little unwilling, but his tone was obviously frustrated.

"Basically settled," Jorge Mendes said lightly.

Butch knew very well in his heart that this price and this treatment were impossible for any other team in the world to offer.

Hey, but when other teams gave up, Li Yuxin decided to give it a try, not for anything else but for his dream!
