Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 572 Europe 2003 Arrival of Abu
"Jose Mourinho, who is he?"

This was after the Newcastle club announced the new head coach. Newcastle's local newspaper "The Echo" took up half a page with only these huge words on it, while another newspaper "Newcastle Daily" did not resort to opportunism Instead, he reported a detailed resume of Mourinho: "Born in Setubal, Portugal in 1963, he has a father who is well-known locally (who once served as a substitute goalkeeper for the Portuguese national team), Perhaps for this reason, he became a professional goalkeeper, but failed miserably, quit professional football at the age of 28, and after a period of ordinary work at two unknown clubs, he entered Sporting Lisbon, where he played as a goalkeeper. Lisbon head coach Sir Bobby Robson was the translator, and then he followed Sir Robson in Porto, Barcelona as a translator and assistant coach, after Sir Robson left Barcelona, ​​he served as Van Gaal's assistant , left Barcelona in 2000, disappeared from the European football circle, and served as the head coach of the Chinese League Yunjia Tianyu Club. In the three seasons of 2000, 2001 and 2002, he led the team to two Chinese top league championships , a China Cup champion and a top league runner-up, it is worth mentioning that this club is the private club of Pei Wei, the current chairman of Newcastle."

At the end of the article, the "Newcastle Daily" said in a sarcastic tone: "Maybe our new chairman thinks that letting this head coach who has won two league titles in the Chinese League as the head coach of Newcastle will allow Newcastle to also win With the same number of championships, perhaps in his mind, the Chinese League and the Premier League are completely at the same level."

This sentence completely incited the dissatisfaction in the hearts of Newcastle fans. Originally, Newcastle fans were very dissatisfied that a Chinese became their chairman. If they were well received by them, they would have marched and demonstrated their dissatisfaction a long time ago. Now, just in time, they found an opportunity. The next day, a group of Newcastle fans gathered in front of the Newcastle headquarters and began to express their dissatisfaction continuously. .

"Fortunately, the pre-season training camp hasn't started yet, otherwise, wouldn't this group of people want to gather around the training base?" Looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the group of people holding banners and chanting protest slogans across the street, Pei Wei smiled wryly : "Aren't they too lenient? Do I have to find a head coach from England to satisfy them? England hasn't had a good head coach in the past ten years. Even if there is, it's from other clubs. Heart, how can I dig it out?"

"I think they are dissatisfied because I am not famous at all." Mourinho snorted, his face darkened.

"No way, being famous in this world is always an advantage, but what does it matter?" Pei Wei smiled and patted Mourinho on the shoulder: "Wait until you lead the team to win a championship." Afterwards, those people who are still scolding you today will become your most loyal supporters in a blink of an eye-for Newcastle fans, no matter how important tradition is, it is not as important as a real championship."

"But what are you going to do now?" Mourinho frowned and glanced at the protesting fans: "They protest here all day, and it will have a greater impact on the club's preparations. Maybe they will protest near the training base."

"It seems that I have to ask Sir Robson to come forward." Pei Wei sighed: "Sir Hall's support made me stand firm, and similarly, Sir Robson's support will also make you stand firm temporarily. They don’t protest now, and when the league starts and wins a few games, all opposition voices will disappear.”

****************************************
It seems that no one was instigating the Newcastle fans' protest this time, they just came to protest spontaneously. After Sir Robson issued a statement, he was optimistic about Mourinho, a former disciple, and the voice of opposition slowly disappeared. At the location of the Newcastle headquarters, there was no voice of gathering to protest, and Newcastle temporarily entered a calm state.

However, Newcastle has calmed down, and English football is boiling again-the second foreign rich man to enter the Premier League this season has appeared. Russian rich man Abramovich announced that he has purchased all of Chelsea from the hands of former chairman Betts Shares, becoming the third foreign club chairman in the Premier League (the first two were the Egyptian Fayed, the chairman of Fulham, and the second was the Chinese Pei Wei, the chairman of Newcastle)!
But although Abramovich took over with a high profile, the impact in the Premier League is not as great as Pei Wei's takeover of Newcastle. This is the difference between the first and the second, not to mention the influence of Chelsea in the country. The strength is not as great as Newcastle, and even abroad, Chelsea's reputation is not greater than Newcastle.

This is why Pei Wei needs to get the entire club in his hands as soon as possible, because he doesn't know the exact time when Abramovich bought Chelsea. He only knows that it's this summer. At least before Abramovich throws money like crazy, people seem to pay more attention to Newcastle United's every move.

But soon, Abramovich attracted the attention of the whole of England.

After he entered Chelsea, the first news he announced was enough to shock the whole of England!
Since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992, the most successful club in England is naturally Manchester United. A total cup champion, a League Cup champion, four Community Shield champions, a European Champions Cup champion and a Toyota Cup champion, not only in the Premier League, perhaps only AC Milan, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the entire European continent can be honored compared with them.

In addition to the number of championships, their club management is definitely the first in the Premier League. In terms of operating income, perhaps only Real Madrid in the Galacticos era can compare with them in Europe.

On the competitive level, Manchester United relies on Sir Alex Ferguson, and on the operational level, they rely on CEO Peter Kenyon.

And this man, who is second only to coach Ferguson in Manchester United's importance, was poached by Abramovich with a lot of money and became the CEO of Chelsea!
This shock is absolutely unparalleled!
For Manchester United, if Sir Alex Ferguson single-handedly created the glory of the Manchester United dynasty, then Peter Kenyon single-handedly created the glory of the Manchester United business empire!
Abramovich's shot was really extraordinary. With one shot, he poached one of the two pillars of Manchester United, the most powerful team in the Premier League!

Everyone is keenly aware that this season's Premier League will probably be more lively than ever!In the situation where Manchester United and Arsenal have been competing endlessly, there are two new strong competitors with strong financial backing. The Premier League in the new season may no longer be a two-horse hegemony. It is very likely. It's a four-nation battle, and maybe even more!
This discovery made Premier League fans in other parts of the world excited. Watching Ferguson and Wenger's battle for so many years, although exciting, but also a little tired, now there are two new competitors, the Premier League in the new season I am afraid It will be more exciting!
**************************************
"Abu really made a move!" Pei Wei put down the newspaper and told Su Mei that after the successful acquisition of Newcastle, Su Mei's mother and son had also come to Newcastle from China to accompany Pei Wei. For this reason, Pei Wei specially stayed in Newcastle Bought a mansion and moved in the next day.

"Are you familiar with him?" Su Mei asked with a smile: "But his move is indeed a sensation. If he just bought Chelsea, with you as a jewel in front of him, he wouldn't cause such a big sensation. , but Kenyon was poached away this time...Even I know how important he is to Manchester United, such a person can be poached by him...Honey, you are suppressed by him this time oh."

"I am a person who never competes for the moment." Pei Wei replied with a smile: "Besides, it is not good to always focus on us. He can try his best, because Chelsea and Newcastle are still very different. , and I am different, just moving a Robson, how much trouble I got into!"

"Then why don't you poach Kenyon? To be honest, Kenyon is just a person for profit... As long as you want, you can poach him in advance. Such a business talent is not easy to find." Su Mei asked a little strangely .

"To be honest, I don't want to poach him, and I may not be able to poach him." Pei Wei thought for a while and said, "As soon as Abramovich successfully acquired Chelsea, he immediately announced that he had hired Kenyon, which shows that he has already started contacting Kenyon." Yang, I didn’t want to let people know about my acquisition in advance... What’s more, although Kenyon’s business ability is outstanding, his way of doing it in a football club is not very suitable. Although Manchester United is known as the best management Successful clubs, but they are not too rich, Sir Alex Ferguson hasn't spent money in the market for several years, and his biggest weakness is that he doesn't understand football."

After a pause, Pei Wei said with a smile: "Besides, what am I going to do after he comes? I can't just be a quitting boss, can I? I can take the position of executive officer myself. In addition, Newcastle will expand its business in the future. Influence, the first market to expand is China, and his understanding of the situation in China is no better than mine, so why should I take the risk of offending Manchester United to poach him.”

Pei Wei stretched his waist: "Okay, while everyone's attention is on Chelsea, we can do a little bit of action."

PS: Brothers are too generous. They increased nearly [-] votes overnight. Lao Guo is very grateful and can only repay everyone with desperate updates. Next will enter a climax. Everyone must look forward to Pei Wei in Newcastle Let's set off a stormy sea!
