Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 677 First Worth
Benitez's entry into Stamford Bridge did not cause much sensation in England, but it caused a huge repercussion in distant China.

Among the four teams participating in the European Champions Cup in the Premier League this season, that is, among the top four in the Premier League last season, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle, except for Manchester United's Ferguson, the other three coaches have different nationalities and ages. Different, different experiences... But they have one thing in common, that is, they have all coached in Yunjia Tianyu for a long time!

The head coaches of the three Premier League giants have all coached in the Chinese League for a period of time, which is enough to make the Chinese proud, especially after entering the 21st century, the number of Premier League fans in China has increased a lot, and even surpassed the traditional Chinese. The trend of fans' Serie A, the increasing connection between the Premier League and Chinese football has also made Chinese fans pay more attention to Great Britain.

Among the three coaches, Wenger spent the shortest time in China, only one and a half years, and one of the years was spent in the second-tier league B at that time, but in the hearts of Chinese fans, the personable Wenger is more worthy of their liking, not only because he helped Yunjiatianyu win the A-B championship and the FA Cup, creating the only record in the history of the Chinese League for a second-tier team to win the FA Cup, but also because he played for Arsenal. outstanding performance.

In fact, in terms of performance, Wenger's Arsenal is not particularly outstanding. It has won three Premier League titles in ten years and three FA Cup titles. The quarter-finals of the season was Wenger's best performance in the Champions League when he was at Arsenal.

He is respected by Chinese fans mainly because of his persistent offensive style of play, which turned a once rough and unaesthetic team like Arsenal into the most beautiful giants in continental Europe, even if it is not as good as Manchester United's Ferguson in terms of performance , but his prestige is even higher than that of the Scots.

Chinese fans also have a good impression of Benitez, but that is more due to the wonderful days when he led the Chinese national team, entered the World Cup finals for the first time, scored goals for the first time in the World Cup, Score for the first time in the World Cup, win the World Cup for the first time... Rafael Benitez has created so many firsts for Chinese football, it is enough for him to have a supreme place in the hearts of Chinese fans status.

On the contrary, now in a club with two Chinese - Chairman Pei Wei and midfielder Nie Fei - and led the club to win the European Champions Cup, making Nie Fei "Asia's No. 1 Champions Cup player" "The honored Mourinho is one of the three coaches who is not very good in the hearts of Chinese fans.

Maybe it's because he's so handsome that the male compatriots are jealous, maybe he's hated by the media because he never cooperates with the media, maybe it's because his tactics are too utilitarian...Anyway, Jose Mourinho is There are no Arthur Wenger or Rafael Benitez popular among Chinese fans.

But does Mourinho care?Don't care, his character is like this, the people who like him will only be the fans of the team he coached, because he can lead the team to victory, and can attack back with harsher words when the team is attacked... just said It's a little wrong, Chinese fans who don't like Mourinho, other than Yunjia Tianyu fans account for the majority.

**********************************************
The shock brought by Benitez’s entry into Chelsea has not yet subsided, and then he brought an even greater shock to Chinese fans-on July 800, Chelsea announced that it would pay 26 yuan from Valencia, Spain. The 200-year-old striker signed a four-year contract with Chelsea. The annual salary has not been disclosed, but what can be expected is that it is definitely higher than the [-] million euro salary he received in Valencia. Much higher.

"The fourth Chinese player to play for a top club in the Premier League!"

The British media used this headline to introduce Deco who joined Chelsea, while the Chinese media used a headline that was even more shocking: "Chinese players are born with the highest net worth in Europe!"

In the past, Nie Fei was the most valuable Chinese player. When he transferred to Roma, his worth was 600 million US dollars. At that time, he had already created the transfer value of Chinese and even Asian players. Three years later, his worth increased again. A cut, the price of 200 million pounds allowed him to break the transfer record again, but this time, Deco raised his record by 600 million pounds in one breath!

This probably has something to do with Abramovich being taken advantage of. Originally, Valencia was unwilling to let Deco, the core midfielder, but Abramovich offered a price of 400 million pounds as soon as he came up. You must know that Deco was from the cloud at that time When Jia Tianyu transferred to Benitez, it only cost them 800 million euros and 20.00% of the second transfer share!

Valencia hesitated, but Chelsea quickly raised the price again by £400 million, £800 million!

The current exchange rate between the pound and the euro is 800:700, and 900 million pounds is equal to 20.00 million euros. In other words, as long as Valencia agrees, it will make a net profit of 300 from Deco. Even if the [-]% share given to Yunjia Tianyu is deducted, Valencia can still earn more than [-] million euros!
That's a lot of money!
Under Abramovich's golden dollar offensive, Valencia succumbed. What's more, Deco also hoped to continue playing under Benitez. The new head coach may not value him as the confidant of the former head coach. Valencia is also what he hopes for.

One emperor and one courtier, the same is true in the football world. Deco's coming to Chelsea is beneficial to both himself and Benitez. Benitez has an extra trustworthy person, and Deco also No need to be offended by the possibility of a new coach.

Of course, it is impossible for Benitez to only buy one person during this summer's transfer period. From the day he was about to leave Valencia, Benitez, who made a plan before making a move, made some suggestions for the clubs he might go to. Careful research, in fact, there are only a few companies that are capable of hiring him and he will be interested, such as Chelsea, Liverpool and Real Madrid who fired their coaches in advance, and Inter Milan who are planning to fire their coaches. It is very stable, or the league style does not suit him. As for other small and medium teams, Benitez is not interested. He is also the head coach of the double champion of La Liga and UEFA Cup. Go back and forth.

He can clearly see the shortcomings of Chelsea. Center forward, defensive midfielder and playmaker, these are the three positions that Chelsea lacks now.

Crespo is an excellent shooter, but he is not the ideal center forward in Benitez's mind, and his style is also incompatible with the Premier League. Benitez wants a strong body, who can be at the top, and spares no effort. The center forward is just like Yunjiatianyu's Didier Drogba.

It's just that Benitez knows that Drogba doesn't even think about it himself. He is very familiar with Pei Wei. Marseille is destined to be just a springboard. If he wants to snatch Drogba and Ribery from Newcastle, he won't even talk about it!
Deco is his ideal candidate to organize the midfield. Although there are some conflicts between positions and Lampard, he believes that the two can coexist on the field, with Deco in charge of organization and Lampard in charge of offense.

Only the central midfielder is hard to choose. In Europe these days, not to mention Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira, it is difficult to find a defensive midfielder. Even a pure coolie midfielder is difficult to choose. Nites even believes that the biggest failure of Chelsea in the transfer market last year was precisely that they did not compete with Newcastle for the transfer of Claude Makelele.

Take a look, Newcastle with Makelele has completely stiffened its waist. With him running back and forth in the backcourt, intercepting, and pre-judging the ball, Nie Fei, Ibrahimovic, and Shearer in front can attack boldly with confidence.

And let go of Makelele's Real Madrid?Although they received a transfer fee of £600m from Makelele's transfer, the money was nothing compared to what they lost - neither Beckham nor Cambiasso Can't replace Makelele's role on the field, losing the Champions League, losing the league, losing the King's Cup-although losing these games is not just because of letting Makelele go, but the lack of such a player who can play in front of the defender Building a back waist with a solid barrier is definitely a big reason.

In addition to Deco, he must at least find an excellent center forward and a defensive midfielder in the transfer market. This is his most basic requirement. Of course, if there are better candidates in other positions, he I don't mind asking Abu to spend more money...

So after the introduction of Deco, Chelsea continued to attack in the transfer market, and their style remained unchanged. After they took a fancy to a player, they immediately threw a check at the opposing club.

Have to say, this method is very useful.

£800 million for Spanish goalkeeper Reina from Barcelona's youth academy, £200 million £20 million for Robben, a 900-year-old winger from PSV Eindhoven, from Manchester United Bought the Portuguese international defender Carvalho, who shined in Portugal this summer, and bought 550 million from PSV Eindhoven. Serbia and Montenegro striker Kežman, who has no opponents in the Eredivisie, in just ten days, in the When most European clubs have not started transferring, Abramovich once again frantically spent 250 million pounds in the transfer market, introducing a goalkeeper, a defender, two midfielders, and a striker!
PS: I breathed a sigh of relief, the result of the examination at Xiehe Hospital showed that the nerve tissue was mature, which means that there is no problem, my wife breathed a sigh of relief, and I also breathed a sigh of relief... I just came back at noon today. Try to update two chapters tomorrow.
