Chapter 182 The Ambition of the New Millennium

It doesn't matter if Lazio is stupid and rich now, but this time, it stimulated the players' worth to rise sharply.

If ordinary small clubs are okay, they would have been relying on cultivating talents for big clubs and earning some benefits from transfer fees, so they could still make money.

But a team like Barcelona has to spend a higher budget than in the past to get the players they originally wanted!

After the final bargain, the two players still brought Arsenal £3500 million in revenue.Now, Arsenal have the confidence to buy anyone.

Upson has been loaned to Nottingham Forest, and he still doesn't quite meet the team's requirements.At that time, Shao Bo introduced him because he was cheap enough, and most of the defenders were veterans, so it was not enough to introduce a few substitutes.

However, although they have money, Arsenal will not spend it indiscriminately.

As a player selected for the French national team, Wiltord had an outstanding performance in the European Cup, and Arsenal also hope to introduce him.

It's a pity that Bordeaux offered him a high price of 1700 million euros!

Even today when the value of players is generally rising, Wiltord is not worth it, and Shao Bo is not willing to spend a lot of money for it.

How much are Henry and Vieira, who rank ahead of him in the French team, worth?Can Wiltord match them?
Although there was a stalemate for a while, Shao Bo still had no choice but to give up Wiltord.

He is not like Wenger, who has good contacts in French clubs, and can use his name to make France his own talent training base.

Although Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still growing, he can be used.Shao Bo estimated that he would not need to invest in Zhengyin striker.

The only thing to consider is how to fill the space left by Overmars and Pettit after they leave.

Lauren, who was originally a wandering midfielder, has been transformed into an excellent right-back in the space of a year.

Lauren once said that he didn't expect that the position of right back was more suitable for him.

Lee Dixon is really retired, and after Lauren adapts to the position of right back, he can leave with peace of mind.

The day after they won the league title two rounds ahead of schedule this season, Lee Dixon announced his retirement after the season.

The age of 35 is not too young. After retiring, he will join Arsenal's youth training team to cultivate more outstanding talents for the team.

Now, Arsenal still need to introduce at least two or three players in the midfield to be able to meet their simultaneous attack requirements on multiple fronts.

Because Pires and the club were at odds, Arsenal bought Pires when Marseille wanted to get rid of this burden, and the price was only 650 million pounds.

Leaving Petit and ushering in Pires, Arsenal's French blood has never been cut off.

And Lampard, who is on loan to West Ham United, is about to return to his home team next season. This young man has become one of the midfielders with the most goals in the Premier League.

West Ham United once offered to buy out Lampard, but was flatly rejected by Shao Bo.

Just kidding, even if Lampard is sold, West Ham United will not be able to keep it for two years.In addition to his own potential, he also has the attribute bonus of the local household registration book, how could he just discard it casually?
One is the league champion last season, and the other is a team that has been ups and downs in the Premier League. In addition, Lampard still has a three-year contract with the club. It is impossible for him to leave Arsenal.

Before the start of the new season, Shao Bo gave him a new contract for a period of five years, which was a complete tie to him.

While Shao Bo was still busy choosing the right players for the team, the Figo transfer case finally came to an end.

In the European Cup, Figo scored a wonderful goal in the match between Portugal and England. This goal was also evaluated as the best goal of the current European Cup.

After the game, Figo suddenly announced his transfer to Real Madrid for a transfer price of US$5700 million, which broke the world transfer fee record created by Crespo not long ago.

Real Madrid and Barcelona can be described as mortal rivals in the Spanish domestic derby. The two teams have always pursued the idea of ​​never communicating with each other. There has been no record of coaches or players communicating for many years.

And Figo, as the captain of Barcelona and the most important member, went to the sworn enemy Real Madrid.It is as puzzling as Arsenal's legendary coach Graham chose Tottenham.

There is nothing surprising about the fact that the transfer fee can reach such a high level.

Figo is already worth a lot, not to mention his performance in the European Cup has added a lot of points to him.Moreover, Real Madrid and Barcelona are enemies for a century, and Barcelona will certainly not easily bypass Real Madrid.

It's just that Real Madrid, like Barcelona, ​​is a big membership-based club, so there is no need to worry about transfer fees.

They are only worried about one thing - how to spend a lot of transfer fees in their hands.

This is not like Arsenal. Shao Bo has not bought a player with a transfer fee of more than 1000 million pounds in the past few years.

Although many people say that he is too stingy, or that he is too young and therefore not courageous enough, they are worried that he will not be able to suppress after buying a well-known star.

But the championships that Shao Bo won one after another made them speechless. No matter how much money they invested in the transfer market, they didn't have as many championships as Shao Bo won!
Although Shao Bo himself knows that this is influenced by Wenger, he is used to living within his means, buying small players and cultivating them into superstars.Coupled with the fact that the club is now preparing for the construction of the new stadium, it is also good to be able to save some money.

In fact, the news that Figo will transfer to Real Madrid has been spread long ago, but no one has believed it.

Everyone thought it was just a mouthpiece released by the chairman of Real Madrid for the election.

For the campaign, a lot of promises have been made, but how many of them can actually complete all of them?

After all, who can believe that a player can transfer to the team of the sworn enemy?

Figo is the most important member of the team, and Barcelona is not short of money, it is impossible to sell because of financial problems.To put it bluntly, even Barcelona would rather hide Figo than sell him to Real Madrid.

After in-depth digging by the media, everyone knows.In order to increase his salary, Figo falsely signed an agreement with Real Madrid to put pressure on Barcelona.

But who would have thought that Real Madrid would take advantage of this to blackmail Figo, and if he was unwilling to transfer, he would pay Real Madrid close to 3000 million US dollars in compensation.

In the end, this farce ended with Figo's transfer, Barcelona got a huge amount of money, Real Madrid won players, and Perez consolidated Real Madrid's chairmanship, which can be regarded as a win-win situation.

Just when Figo's transfer attracted the attention of the whole of Europe, Shao Bo took Emma back to China.On the one hand, she traveled to China after her school holiday, and on the other hand, she handled business in China by the way.

As the spokesperson of Dunhill in China, Shao Bo was often tossed by photographers when shooting promotional posters.

They don't care how much prestige Shao Bo has in the team or how famous he is in the football world.

According to the photographer: How many celebrities have I photographed?Shao Bo?It's not from our circle, I don't know each other!
The sales of several Arsenal stores are very hot, and Shao Bo also specially selected two stores in the south and the north to hold a signing event for his own business.

In order to make the sales more popular, Sun Jihai, who had already returned to China for vacation, was naturally recruited as a strong man!
As the national footballer of the national team and the most successful Chinese player in the Overseas Legion, Sun Jihai is naturally favored by domestic fans.

In Arsenal's store, there was a long queue of fans who came to see him.

Shao Bo is also thinking now, is it possible to create an independent brand?
Just like those famous sports players who later create brands under their own names, Shao Bo can do the same.

It's just a pity that Thomas reminded him that Shao Bo is not allowed to do related activities for other sports brands or clothing brands in his current exclusive endorsement contracts.

However, the endorsement fee they offered was quite a lot. Shao Bo thought about the time and effort it would take to establish a new company, and then gave up the idea.

Sun Jihai's popularity is not only due to the many honors of his Arsenal, but more importantly, he has established an image for the people of the country!
Now, as a representative of the Chinese in European sports circles, he is widely praised by British and European media.

When communicating with the media, he is also very adaptable and responds appropriately.Of course, this is all the result of Shao Bo finding a dedicated professor in advance.

On the field, he dared to fight and grab, even though he was just a substitute for Arsenal.

But when Lee Dixon was about to retire and Lauren was still undergoing transformation, Sun Jihai played an important role.

In contrast, as a coach, Shao Bo's photogenic rate is still not as high as that of his players.

After completing the regular work required in the contract and handling interviews with TV stations and media, Shao Bo took the little girl on a tour of China.

It's a pity that after the European Cup, there are not many holidays left for Shao Bo.After staying in China for less than half a month, they returned to London to prepare for the new season.

But Emma is also on vacation now, even if she returns home, she will have nothing to do, so little Lolita stays in London, accompanied by Shao Bo.

Football is England's national sport, and Emma is naturally very interested.

After the start of the new season, Shao Bo drove her to the Kearney training base every day, but Shao Bo arranged training on the green field, while the little girl watched quietly there, or stayed in the office to study.

After the training was over, the two returned home.If you are tired, order a takeaway, and when you are in the mood, you can DIY some delicious food.
