Star Coach

Chapter 454 Free Market

The summer transfer window is destined to be turbulent.

Manchester United lost the Champions League and FA Cup, and Ferguson finally asked the boss for 50 million pounds, ready to enjoy it.

Chelsea lost all four major titles last season. After the new coach Villas-Boas took over, the team's midfield technicalization pace accelerated. It must clean up some players and introduce a group of technical players.

Arsenal also lost all four major titles. Wenger was particularly disappointed with the midfield and backcourt. The team's captain Fabregas was leaving again, and he had to find a replacement. The next captain candidate, well, the team's veteran Van Persie.

Liverpool struggled to keep the seventh place in the league. There is still the Europa League to play next season, and their ability to attract money is not bad. They must strengthen the lineup. I heard that Charlie Adam of Blackpool has been on their transfer list.

Ferguson commented on Charlie Adam: His left foot is worth 10 million pounds.

Manchester City is very depressed this season. For a period of time before, they have been on the Champions League list, but they didn't expect to slip to fifth place at the last moment. It's meaningless, and they have to play in the Europa League again.

In the summer transfer window, Manchester City once again prepared more than 100 million pounds and was ready to continue spending money. As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

As for West Ham, they invested more funds in rehabilitation centers, youth training camps and equipment updates. The construction of a new stadium is also on the agenda. In the next few years, as long as Jiangshan raises enough money, it will definitely start the construction of a new stadium.

Of course, during the construction of the new stadium, their home stadium will be the Olympic Stadium. Jiangshan also considered renting the Olympic Stadium for a long time as the main venue of the London Olympics next year, but he gave up the idea because he could not obtain the naming rights.

The stadium built by itself has enough autonomy. At that time, it is their own business to toss it. The media has no right to point fingers. Just like Wenger took the lead in building the Emirates Stadium and gained a lofty status.

Although they are ready to tighten their money in signings, strengthening the lineup is a must. Of course, their main framework has been almost built, and they also played great results last season.

Jiangshan's plan was to make minor repairs to the main framework. After the celebration banquet, he specifically interviewed the main players, hoping that they would all stay in the team and fight in the Champions League with the team next season.

Both veterans received olive branches from outsiders. Central defender Upson was determined to stay in the team. Even if he became a substitute player, he had no regrets. After all, he was the old captain of the team. Jiangshan let him choose for himself.

Scott Parker's situation was more complicated. He got the championship he wanted and pursued a higher salary level. Tottenham was very interested in him and offered a contract that Jiangshan could not provide.

He wanted to leave, and Jiangshan also gave him a positive answer. It was okay to leave, and he respected your opinion, but Tottenham had to pay enough transfer fees, which was also respect.

The relationship between West Ham and Tottenham was gradually deteriorating. West Ham had poached two young talents, Harry Kane and Bale, in the past two years. In particular, Bale performed particularly well last season, which made Levy resentful. At this time, he must take revenge. He was ready to take action and poach West Ham's vice-captain.

The same situation also occurred with the main goalkeeper Green. Jiangshan made it clear to him that next season, Green would stay in the team and become De Gea's substitute. After two seasons of intensive training, De Gea has gradually adapted to the intensity of the Premier League's confrontation, and his attacking ability has been greatly improved. It will not be a problem for him to be promoted to the main position next season.

Green was distressed. He was the England goalkeeper. Was he going to be a substitute for a player who couldn't even enter the Spanish national team? He couldn't swallow this breath, and he also wanted to leave.

At present, Tottenham seems to be in contact with Green. Are they ready to disgust Jiangshan in all aspects?

Jiangshan often gave Woodward the task of transfer, but this time, Woodward was obviously more important, he wanted to make money. He was talking to the sponsors, and Jiangshan had to do the recruitment of players.

The first stop was still his old subordinate, Didier Drogba.

Drogba had a particularly depressing time at Chelsea last season. Not only was he affected by injuries, but the team also bought Torres and the younger Lukaku during the winter break, directly taking away his starting position.

The guy who was booed by Chelsea fans is ready to leave Chelsea. Abramovich also agreed to let him leave the team. After all, there is only one year left on the contract, and the asking price will not be too high.

The key is that Chelsea executives think that Drogba is nearly 34 years old, and he is almost old. Can he still be a star next season?

"Coach Jiangshan, are you really going to let me join?" Drogba was a little excited, even at a loss, "I have waited for eight or nine years. Finally, do you think of cooperating with me again?"

For Jiangshan, Drogba is even willing to die. When Drogba was in Ligue 1, it was Jiangshan who dug him out and brought him the coveted Champions League championship.

In order to train Drogba, Jiangshan gave him a special treatment and trained him in shooting skills. Otherwise, how could Drogba gain a foothold in Chelsea so easily?

Jiang Shan nodded, "Yes, I think you were not happy at Chelsea last season. The boos from the fans were sad. You deserve higher evaluations, and even more honors."

"Didier, it's almost time. Come to West Ham and we'll win the championship together." Jiang Shan has a good relationship with him, and simple encouragement is more effective than any nonsense.

Drogba was almost in tears. After so many years, Jiang Shan finally extended an olive branch to him again. Is he ready to continue to fight in the Champions League?

"No problem, I will apply for a transfer with the team immediately. I believe Mr. Abramovich will not set too many obstacles. After Mr. Boas joined the team, he was not polite to us old guys!" Drogba smiled bitterly.

"No one wants the old players?" Jiangshan frowned, "No one wants Lampard either? If possible, I also welcome him to join West Ham and return to the youth training team."

"Hehe, I will tell him, I hope it will be successful."

Drogba's question is simple, and Chelsea is also straightforward. There is no transfer obstacle. For veterans over 33 years old, Chelsea only charged a symbolic transfer fee of 5 million pounds.

Drogba reunited with Jiangshan again, but Lampard did not want to join West Ham. He still wanted to fight in Chelsea and become a legend.

Jiangshan's next goal is a free agent. Since Green wants to leave, he must prepare a strong substitute for De Gea. The old American goalkeeper Friedel agreed to West Ham's invitation and joined the team as a free agent.

"It's a pity that Pirlo doesn't want to leave Italy, otherwise the team would recruit this strong player, and the midfielder's experience value would soar to a higher level." A few days later, Jiang Shan said with a little regret.

Pirlo left AC Milan and joined Juventus as a free man. Jiang Shan came forward to recruit him in advance, but Pirlo had no intention of leaving Italy and declined Jiang Shan's invitation.

He has no desires and no needs. Instead of adapting to the new environment in England, he might as well enjoy life in Italy and play healthy football.
