The Young Lion

I want the team to win the league and the European title. The goal is to win and not to make money. I have other, safer ways of making money. I don't throw money around, but it's for fun, it means being successful, winning. title.

The man of the day, Abramovich, became the number one person chased by Fleet Street. Every word he said could make the headlines of the newspapers. In addition to criticisms in Russia about whether Abramovich was transferring property or national betrayal, the British also had doubts about Abramovich.

Since it's entertainment, how long will the rich man's interest last?

Abu himself gave the answer.

As soon as Fleet Street came up, he was pressed whether he would invest in Chelsea for more than 10 years!

Abramovich replied: It's hard to say 10 years. Maybe 20 years, 50 years. I see it as a long-term obligation.

With his answer like this, Fleet Street is no longer able to exert pressure. Therefore, the most realistic problems surrounding Abramovich and Chelsea came one after another.

A team, a team must be composed of players. Chelsea is imagining a wonderful future, but with 100 million to 1 billion pounds in cash in front of them, it is impossible to realize the dream. It depends on your team. , What kind of players are there!

When a reporter asked him which player he would buy first, Abramovich said without hesitation: Henry!

Then, after communicating with his assistant, he added: I like Campbell, too.

Then, seeming to remember his identity, he told reporters: I won't tell you the names of the other players anymore, because it will increase their value.

It has to be said that Abramovich is not a rich second-generation tycoon. spoken words. It feels like walking the talk.

Like the line it will make them worth more. It sounds cautious, but if you think about it carefully, if he is not going to take action, but just talking and bragging, why should he care about his worth?

On the other hand, some club owners, the chairman, will always shout the names of a series of top stars, which sounds exciting. But in fact, their big talk is too low-level, and you can see the loopholes if you think about it a little. The stars in the football circle are like prey, and the buyers are like hunters. , the more difficult it is, and only the low-key transfers are often smoother. And the sensation created is more effective.

The much-anticipated Chelsea made its first shot in the Abramovich era. Failed!

And it failed embarrassingly!

Before Abramovich officially took over Chelsea,

Due to the turmoil in the team and the contract expired, Chelsea's meritorious player Zola decided to return to Italy and signed with his hometown team, Cagliari in the second division.

Abramovich's first shot was to recall Zola! Even if Zola pays the liquidated damages for the contract with Cagliari, Cagliari is equivalent to earning 1.25 million pounds in vain, while Chelsea gave Zola a contract with an annual salary of 3 million pounds!

However, Zola rejected Chelsea's call and did not break the contract because of monetary interests.

Chelsea began to operate the transfer market. At the same time, internally, players like Terry were given a new contract, a generous contract, which made the players feel the difference of the times and the generosity of the new boss.

In the transfer market, the free signing of Sunderland goalkeeper Marco is a small test.

Soon, Chelsea caused a sensation!

A real sensation!

Coach Ranieri dismissed!

Ranieri, who was traveling in France, was kicked out by Chelsea before the end of his trip.

Instead, the Swedish coach Sven Eriksson!

In fact, Abramovich knew Eriksson as early as a year ago. At that time, he still had some ideas about the acquisition of Lazio. According to insiders, they met 5 times before officially inviting Eriksson to Chelsea to coach!

Eriksson has made a name for himself in Serie A, and has gained a great reputation with the background of the Little World Cup and the world's first league. When England was selecting coaches, if there was no Aldridge, Eriksson would have made Arrogant The Englishman bowed his head and went to the door to hire. It can be seen that his prestige is not bragging. Although he came to coach Chelsea, although he cannot be said to be the top coach, because he still cannot compete with Lippi, Capello, Aldridge, etc. , Ferguson, Wenger and other coaches are on an equal footing, but at least Chelsea's ambition to the outside world is: we are working hard in the best direction and building this team with the goal of a top team!

Chelsea ushered in a new coach, but in terms of player signings, they presented an embarrassing situation to the outside world: they have money, but they can't spend it!

On July 5th, a piece of news came from Millwall in East London, causing a sensation in the entire European football world.

Millwall officially announced that it has received a £50 million bid from a team for Henry.

Announced at the same time: Millwall refuses!

Henry is not for sale!

Millwall did not disclose the information about the buying club, but the outside world guessed that it was Abramovich who made the move, spending a lot of money, and being arrogant!

This shot will create a new world record for player transfer value!

Generally, clubs do not disclose transfer information like this.

We can talk, let's sit down and talk slowly.

If you don't want to talk about it, if you can't talk about it, just ignore it.

But Millwall's publicity to the outside world can easily be interpreted as: ridicule!

Chelsea, so what if you're rich?

The world's top players, the best, you can't buy with money!

In particular, they took the initiative to release the news, which also represented another kind of confidence, that is, even if Henry heard the news, they had absolute confidence that Henry would not be shaken!

This is the confidence of a wealthy family!

July 6, late.

In Chelsea Village, the rooftop on the top floor of the hotel was quickly transformed by Abramovich into a takeoff and landing platform for private jets.

When the lights first came on, his private plane flew from afar and landed on the roof of the building with a strong wind. When the strong wind subsided, one person got off the plane. Abu stood at the doorway of the roof passage and smiled.

The visitor was dressed in casual attire, strode towards Abu, laughed and said, I was just joking. Why do you take it seriously?

Abramovich did not shake hands with each other either. Turn sideways and reach out to ask. He laughed and said, It's not true or false. Didn't Barnett send me to London like this back then? It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Andrew, I remember you said you like Ukrainian food. Today I'm from Kiev A celebrity chef has been invited, dinner is ready, let's go. You won't come back tonight until you're drunk.

Andrew was still holding a golf club in his hand. He was playing on the golf course in the afternoon. Abu called him to invite him to have dinner. Andrew joked that he would wait for the other party’s plane to arrive. The plane flew to pick up Andrew, which is sincerity.

Walking from the passage to the interior of the hotel with Abu, Andrew played with taste: I actually miss Ukrainian beauties more.

Well, let's just fly to Ukraine today. As long as you have time.

Abu seemed to be in good spirits, with the boldness of risking his life to accompany a gentleman.

Andrew waved his hand and said, Haha. It's just nostalgia, nostalgia. You know, I'm married.

Abu smiled without saying a word.

At the entrance of the decorated restaurant, Andrew saw Zahavi and threw the golf club in his hand to the other party. Zahavi was confused, and then handed the club to the waiter.

After sitting down at the table, Andrew turned his head and looked at Zahavi who followed them in. Zahavi suddenly realized after being stared at by Andrew's calm eyes for three seconds.

This dinner is not for him.

He disappears automatically.

Abu and Andrew tasted the food first, and after they were 70% full, Andrew took the lead and said with a wine glass: Barnett, I, Aldrich, our three brothers, in terms of relationship, Roman, you and Aldrich are With the least friendship, we can say this kind of thing openly and honestly. You should be able to understand that Millwall belongs to Aldrich alone. Barnett and I will neither interfere in his career nor influence his decision. , Millwall rejected Henry's offer, this is a war, maybe you don't understand Roman, because you don't understand the relationship between Chelsea and Millwall, take a step back, you offered 100 million pounds to impress Aldridge , and can’t get Henry, because the transfer fee is not for Henry, and if Henry transfers to Chelsea, he will be hated by all Millwall people, and at the same time, everything he gets in Millwall will be worthless, The honor he earned in Millwall will first be denied by the Millwall club. People will no longer remember Henry as a great striker, but only a greedy traitor. This is absolutely unacceptable to Henry , In fact, very few great players can accept it, especially Chelsea, it is nothing now, there are only dreams of sky gardens, the future spoken by mouth, the magnificent pyramid, you have not piled up a single brick stand up.

Abu didn't care about this, he waved his hand and said, I don't care what is written in the newspaper.

Yes, what about Millwall's humiliation to Chelsea, money is not everything, and there are many voices who have begun to laugh at him.

Abramovich doesn't care. For him, the more right and wrong, the better, and the more disputes, the better. This is the degree of attention, and also the degree of devotion to playing games here.

Andrew, I invited you here today because I hope you can help me make suggestions. I hope that Chelsea will become stronger. Naturally, we need good players.

Although Abramovich has loved football, it doesn't mean that he knows the players in the football circle well. Which players are good? He probably only knew some of the more famous ones.

However, he firmly believes that money can turn ghosts around, just like the ice hockey team he built in Russia. What is it based on? It's not just money!

Based on the level of the Russian ice hockey league, the ice hockey team built by Abramovich has a total annual salary of more than 15 million US dollars. This is the top league, and the level of the North American NHL. How can it not be strong in Russia? It's like if the clubs in the Japanese league have the average budget of the Premier League or Serie A, their strength will be the only one in the Japanese league, no exaggeration.

Andrew is also not interested in teaching Abu. Anyway, the other party is the boss, so he will definitely not do it himself.

It's just that choosing players is the fun of the boss. Andrew followed Abramovich's request and worked with him and his staff to make a very high-quality list.

Vieira, Gerrard, Nedved, Dyer, Davies, Duff, Emerson, Gremi, Veron, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Kewell, Joe Cole, Henry , Ruud van Nistelrooy, Raul, Owen, Rooney, Ronaldo, C Ronaldo, Vieri, Crespo, Recoba, Cisse, Ibrahimovic, Shevchenko, Kluivert, Mu picture......

If this signing candidate list of more than 30 people is made public, the entertainment that Abramovich said will probably shock the entire football world.

Andrew looked at the smiling Abu, as well as those members of the staff team who joined in the fun.

Andrew didn't laugh at them either, but felt that they probably equated football with ice hockey.

If Andrew objects to names like Ronaldinho and Nedved, it seems that he is not giving Abramovich face. After all, he is a player under his banner, but what about writing it?

Abramovich and his team are very happy, and they are very excited when talking about these names, as if they have already got people.

Andrew could only sigh in his heart: It turns out that super rich people also have dreams occasionally. (to be continued..) ()
