Chapter 1018 Is he really tempted?

The last pride!

Martin Samuel, a well-known English columnist, used such a headline in his latest column to describe the contract renewal conflict between Terry and Chelsea, and published it prominently on the front page of the Daily Mail.

In this column, Martin Samuel introduced Terry's past achievements at Chelsea, and spoke highly of Terry's role as the backbone of the team in the past few seasons when the team's performance declined and the lineup was turbulent.

At the same time, Martin Samuel believes that it is indeed quite unkind for Chelsea to force Terry in this way.

"If the club really wants to renew the contract, it should inform the players in advance."

"But now, Terry's contract is less than half a year away, but Chelsea has not informed whether it has decided to renew the contract so far, but wants to continue to delay the time. This is obviously an irresponsible behavior."

In the article, Martin Samuel regarded Terry's fierce resistance and determination to buy out his remaining half-year contract as an act of defending the captain of the Blue Army. He believed that Terry used this move to defend the traditional pride of the Blue Army when Chelsea had been messed up by Abramovich and Granovskia.

At the end of the article, Martin Samuel also said that Terry has decided not to stay in the Premier League, "He said that it is difficult for him to face the team he loved in the past and is willing to dedicate everything to it. He will leave the Premier League."

As soon as Martin Samuel's column was published, it immediately attracted a lot of attention all over the world.

As a well-known British columnist, Martin Samuel has always been hailed as Chelsea's mouthpiece. He can always get some inside information about Chelsea and has a very good relationship with the Blues.

But now, with Lampard leaving the United States, Terry is about to leave Stamford Bridge, and Martin Samuel's connection with Chelsea has gradually faded. Now he stands up to speak for Terry, no doubt to support his old friend.

However, what he said resonated with countless fans and football journalists.

It's no secret that Chelsea treats heroes unkindly.

Ancelotti was announced to be dismissed from get out of class on the bus, which directly caused the famous European coaches to stay away from Chelsea.

Abramovich knelt down and begged, just to invite Guardiola to coach, but why did the Spaniard refuse to nod?It is because what the Chelsea coaches did back then was too chilling.

Now, Chelsea are starting to drive away the heroes of the past again. Does this mean that Chelsea will further destroy its image in the eyes of the players?
You must know that with the decline of the club's performance in the past two years, it has been difficult for Chelsea to invite top European stars to join. If there is another incident like this now, not only the club players will be disheartened and dispirited, and it may even cause huge damage to Chelsea's signings in the future.

Stephen Howard, a well-known columnist for The Sun, pointed out in his article, "The heroes and legends are old, and the team alternates between old and new. This is a problem that all teams will inevitably encounter, but Chelsea's handling has always been criticized because it is too simple and rude."

"Now, it is definitely another painful blow to Chelsea's bad image to hear about Terry again. This will undoubtedly make it even more difficult for Chelsea to introduce strong reinforcements in the future."

Facing the comments and attacks from the outside world, under pressure, Chelsea officials had to come forward to explain that the club did not want to renew the contract with Terry, and even the club would consider renewing the contract with Terry.

But such remarks, under the tough attitude of Terry's agent who publicly stated that his players will buy out the remaining half-year contract, have already appeared very pale.

All the Blues fans also said that Chelsea's official behavior was too chilling and too much.

Only when it was really overdone and chilling would Terry be so determined to leave the team he had played for his entire career.

As the British media began to pay attention and report, the news spread quickly, and the follow-up soon brought a chain reaction.

First of all, a British media reporter asked Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola in Munich, Germany, and asked him what he thought about Terry leaving Chelsea.

Guardiola refused to answer at first, but he was so entangled later that he could only express his own opinion. He also believed that Chelsea's handling of the issue of Terry's contract extension seemed a bit too hasty and not ideal.

As a professional player, Guardiola also faced Terry's current problems.

At that time, Barcelona's approach was also quite rough, forcing Guardiola to leave Serie A, and even bear the biggest shame in his life because of this, which was the drug test incident in [-].

Guardiola, who had just transferred from Barcelona to Brescia, was found to have used doping during the post-match drug test. As a result, he was banned by the Italian Football Federation for four months, and then imprisoned by the government for seven months with a suspended execution.

This is regarded by Guardiola as the greatest shame in his life, because he has never used doping at all.

Therefore, after the penalty was issued, he has been appealing, accusing the Italian Football Association of having a problem with the testing equipment.

It took as long as eight years before he truly declared his innocence and innocence.

It is precisely because of this tragic history that Guardiola sympathizes with Terry's experience. He believes that Chelsea can do a better job when dealing with the veteran's contract renewal issue.

However, when a reporter asked Guardiola if he was interested in coaching in the Premier League, the Spanish coach smiled and said that he regarded coaching the Premier League as the biggest and most interesting challenge in his life.

In the past, Guardiola refused to answer whenever he was asked, but this time he took the initiative to answer. It can be seen that he is full of expectations for coaching the Premier League.

This time, reporters and fans all over the world were blown away.

Could it be that Guardiola is really going to coach Chelsea?

The whole world knows that Guardiola of the Chelsea team has been pursuing him for many years. Abramovich even went to Munich to invite Guardiola himself. Could it be that he is really tempted?

Many people have started looking for a lot of evidence to prove this argument.

First of all, of course, Guardiola rarely commented on the contract extension between Chelsea and Terry.

Also, in the past six months, Guardiola has only been associated with Chelsea, and considering that Abramovich has been tirelessly pursuing Guardiola for many years, it is not surprising that the Spanish male god is so excited.

Ever since, the media immediately caught wind of it and began to concoct a lot of news.

For example, Abramovich launched a great blueprint, claiming to invest hundreds of millions to introduce Neymar, and build a strong lineup for Guardiola to compete for the Premier League title in a short period of time and compete with Southampton.

But soon another news came out, indicating that the team that Guardiola might really go to is Manchester City.

Manchester City has also been pursuing Guardiola all the time, and the performance of coach Pellegrini in the team is not satisfactory, but Manchester City's relatively more patient management style is more in line with Guardiola's requirements.

But the really breaking news comes from the Manchester Evening News, which publicly stated that Manchester City's top management has drawn up a plan. If Guardiola coaches Manchester City, they will give an unlimited transfer budget.

Obviously, the powerful Saints are invincible in the Premier League and continue to create history. They have become the target of all Premier League teams, and everyone is proud to beat the Saints.

In this case, all the teams are also resorting to strange moves, hoping to bring Guardiola, the world's top coach, under his command and create a tactical system capable of countering the Saints.

With the media's attention and reports, the German media quickly dug up the news, that is, Bayern Munich has long confirmed that Guardiola will leave the team after the end of this summer and will not stay in Munich.

"During Bayern Munich's coaching period, Guardiola found that the differences between himself and the management were getting bigger and bigger, especially with his immediate boss Sammer. Everyone in the football circle knows that these two people are notoriously strong.

"In the list of Guardiola leaving the team, Spanish midfielder Xavi Alonso ranks first. Summer believes that although Xavi Alonso still maintains the strength and status of the world's top midfielder, it is not in line with the club's business policy in the next few years. His contract will expire in the summer. He has basically decided to leave the team, and he does not even rule out selling it at a good price during the winter break."

"Another player who may leave the team is Bernat. With the departure of Guardiola, Bernat, who is in an embarrassing situation in the team, is likely to return to La Liga."

As for the other main midfielder, Guardiola's favorite player Thiago, whether to stay in the team depends on the thoughts of the Bayern Munich coach. If it is not in the plan, Thiago is basically determined to leave the team, especially may return to Barcelona.

As the media gradually dug deeper, at first it was just a contract renewal conflict between Terry and Chelsea, but gradually, it was overwhelmed by discussions about Guardiola's new club next season.

After all, the media and fans are very forgetful, and they will naturally pay more attention to Guardiola, who is more famous and has greater hype value, and more and more teams are associated with Guardiola.

Even in the end, even Real Madrid and Manchester United were involved, and it almost became a topic of national concern.

It is in such a trend that the European winter transfer market is also quietly kicking off.

However, compared with the prosperous winter transfers in the past, in recent years, with the economic depression, winter transfers have gradually declined.

The rich teams led by Southampton, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have all announced that there will be no signings during the winter break transfer, which has set the tone for the transfer market early.

How could the transfer market be lively without the involvement of local tyrants?
But just when everyone thought that the European winter transfer market might be tepid, the local tyrants from the Chinese Super League quietly made a move.

First, Yangcheng Hengda's main forward Elkeson switched to Longhai Longgang at a high price of 850 million euros, which ignited the enthusiasm of the transfer market during the winter break.

Immediately afterwards, the Huaxia team from the Chinese Super League introduced winger Gervinho from Rome for 800 million euros.

This transaction was once again a surprise. You know, Gervinho's performance in Rome was quite outstanding. Even if he wanted to transfer, he would be quite popular in Europe, but he actually switched to the Super League?
This Chinese Super League team is too rich, right?

But this is just the beginning.

After Gervinho, Huaxia was obviously not satisfied, and continued to pursue Chelsea's striker Remy fiercely, intending to acquire the Blues forward, which made the whole of Europe marvel at the wealth of the Chinese Super League team.

However, Huaxia's poaching has not progressed yet, while Su Ling has poached midfielder Ramirez from the Blues at a high price of 800 million euros, taking the top spot in the transfer market in one fell swoop.

However, Su Ling's Biaowang banner has not yet been secured, and the Biaowang banner has changed hands again.

After selling the leading striker, Yangcheng Hengda announced the introduction of Porto striker Jackson Martinez for 4000 to [-] million euros, and cut the banner of the king of the winter transfer market in one fell swoop.

The whole world was shocked!
What are these Chinese people doing?

I have seen local tyrants, but I have never seen such a local tyrant!

Too outrageous, right?
Are they planning to buy all European stars to China?
But when all the teams in the Chinese Super League are so powerful and have introduced strong players at sky-high prices, Young Master Huan, who is highly anticipated by domestic fans, and his Beijing Guoen, have not made any progress.
