Football coach

"Chen, come in quickly.?"

Terry Brown personally greeted Chen Ping at the door.

In the fourth round of the League Cup, although Chelsea dispatched generals such as Lampard, Crespo, and Mutu in the second half, they still failed to save Chelsea's defeat.

West Ham defeated Chelsea [-]-[-] at home, advancing to the fifth round of the League Cup.

During the game, Defoe once again completed a hat-trick, causing a sensation in English football.After all, West Ham faced Tottenham and Chelsea in the third and fourth rounds of the League Cup, but Defoe was still so good.

West Ham's luck is still bad. In the fifth round of the League Cup, they once again encountered a strong London team. This team is the London giants Arsenal.But speaking of luck, the rich and powerful teams of this era don't pay much attention to the League Cup.

Even more so at Arsenal.

They are already in the quarter-finals of the League Cup, but Wenger told Chen Ping how much he disdains the League Cup.Tottenham and Chelsea have at least half of the main players, but Arsenal are mostly substitutes, and even children aged [-] or [-] are sent on the field.

Many players, Chen Ping, have never heard of their names.

The goalkeeper is a player named Stark, the defense is Toure, Sigan, Keown, Clichy, and the midfielder is Palor, Edu, and Gilbert Silva who has just returned from injury , and Bentley.Up front are Kanu and Abiyi.

Among these players, Stark's appearances this season can be counted on one hand. It is estimated that no one who is not an Arsenal fan has heard of his name.Among the defense line, only Toure is regarded as the main player, but Toure has always played as a central defender this season.In this game, it was arranged to play right back on the right.Keown is 37 years old, Xigan is Arsenal's perennial substitute, and Clichy is only.Keown, Segan, and Chrissy have combined for more than ten appearances this season.

In the midfield, only Gilbert Silva, who has just returned from injury, is the main force, but this game is mainly for finding state.The other players are Arsenal's substitutes.

Abiyi on the front line is only 17 years old, and like Clichy, he only has a chance in the League Cup.Although the two of them occasionally train with the first team, most of the games are in the youth team.

In this game, Wenger put Arsenal's important players on the sidelines.Most of Henry, Vieri, Pires, Campbell, Ashley Cole, Ljungberg, and Lauren didn't even enter the 18-man list, and Bergkamp is recuperating from his injuries.

You can see Wenger's attitude.

It's okay to win, but it's okay if you can't.

With Wenger's attitude, Chen Ping certainly would not let it go.There is only a gap of ten days between the fourth and fifth rounds of the League Cup. On December 2, 3, West Ham met Arsenal at home.

Arsenal were eliminated by a score of two to one.

So far, West Ham has eliminated the three powerful players in London all the way in this League Cup and advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup.What makes West Ham supporters even more delighted is that West Ham has encountered another dark polo team in the League Cup.

West Bromwich Albion.

This season's League Cup teams have fallen, and the League Cup semi-finals are two English teams, Bolton and Aston Villa, and two League One teams, West Ham and West Bromwich Albion.

In the semi-finals, West Ham met West Bromwich Albion.

finals.

Everyone is expecting West Ham to reach the Carabao Cup final.Chen Ping was also in a very good mood.The status of the League Cup in English football is low, and it is not generally low.Just look at Wenger's attitude towards the League Cup and you will know how these strong teams view the League Cup.

But for Chen Ping, the League Cup is now a luxury.

champion.

No matter what the championship is, it is very important for Chen Ping to win a championship.Terry Brown, as the chairman of West Ham, is of course very excited.West Ham only had good results in English football in the 60s and 70s.In the other hundreds of years, the results have not been very good.

"Terry, you are too kind."

"It should, it should. You should know that I have been chairman of West Ham for so many years, and the team has never been as good as this season in the cup."

Terry Brown was very polite.

Be polite of course.

This is the change of strength.When West Ham approached Chen Ping, although Chen Ping had a good record at Oxford United, West Ham was a big club compared to Chen Ping.But after half a season, Chen Ping has proved his strength with his own performance.

No matter how exclusive English football is, it is impossible for Chen Ping's achievements to go unnoticed.There are not one or two clubs that are stronger than West Ham in England.There must be those who want to poach Chen Ping.

"Here, here's the coffee I prepared for you."

"Thank you."

Chen Ping sat on the side, Terry Brown's office not only had Terry Brown, but also West Ham's sporting director Paul Pitt.But Chen Ping found that Paul Pitt's complexion was not very good-looking.

Chen Ping instantly felt that the atmosphere was a little different.

Looking at Terry Brown again, although he was smiling, he could see a trace of sadness on his face.Chen Ping was a little baffled. Now that West Ham is in a good situation, there is nothing to worry about for these two people.

West Ham is currently not short of money and has good results.

"Chen, there is something I really can't say."

Terry Brown sighed after sitting down, and his face became very dignified.

"What happened?"

"Defoe's agent just called me this morning."

"Jermaine?"

Chen Ping frowned.

In an instant, countless thoughts flickered in his mind.Wanting to renew the contract and wanting a high salary should not make Terry Brown so dignified.After all, West Ham's performance is very good now, and West Ham's players are generally young people, and their salaries are relatively low.

When West Ham is promoted, the salaries of these players will increase, which is inevitable.Not to mention the young players of West Ham, even Chen Ping's salary will also increase with the promotion.The salary system of England and League One is completely different.

Since you don't want to renew the contract, then...

Chen Ping suddenly thought of a very bad thing, so he couldn't help but ask, "He wants to transfer?"

"Yes."

"Damn."

Chen Ping was instantly furious.

Defoe shit, Chen Ping talked with Defoe not long ago, and Defoe also vowed to himself that he likes West Ham very much, and he likes West Ham very much now.

He is willing to stay at West Ham to help the team upgrade and help the team win the championship.

But how long is this.

It turned out to be another transfer application.And it turned out that he didn't go through himself, but directly found the chairman of the club.Damn it, Chen Ping suddenly became angry.

Chen Ping's current strategy is a great support for Defoe.

"Which club is it?"

Defoe is not cheap.If a general player is relegated with the team, his worth will also drop.But Defoe's situation is completely different.In the summer, Tottenham had been actively pursuing Defoe, and even their psychological price was 800 million pounds.This is Defoe's net worth in Xia Tian.

And Di Foley abruptly doubled his worth in half a season.

Of course, if players from other countries, such as Spanish players and German players, even if they have Defoe's performance, it is impossible for them to be worth more than ten million pounds.But whoever allowed Defoe to have an English account, his net worth easily exceeded tens of millions of pounds.

But spending tens of millions of pounds, or even 500 million pounds to buy Defoe is definitely not something that ordinary clubs can afford.

It's not ten years from now.

"Could it be Manchester United?"

Chen Ping knew that Ferguson was interested in Defoe.But Ferguson has always just said that he never really meant to do it.Chen Ping clearly remembered that Ferguson never made a move against Defoe.

"No."

"That is……"

"It's Chelsea. Zahavi has already been to us and met Defoe's agent."

Chen Ping's face was ugly.

Although Chen Ping has been in British football for many years, his contacts in British football are still very poor.Zahavi came to West Ham and met with his player's agent, but he didn't know it.

Who is Zahavi?

That is the top agent in English football.The West Ham club is very familiar with Zahavi, because Zahavi manipulated Ferdinand to transfer to Leeds United, and then transferred from Leeds to Manchester United.Ferdinand's transfer fee for a central defender has exceeded the sky-high price, which shows Zahavi's ability.

Now Zahavi's reputation in the circle is even greater.

Because he was the first agent to help a rich man buy a club as an agent.

"Chen, Defoe probably won't be able to keep it. I also met with Zahavi at noon. Chelsea will give Defoe at least three times his salary. If Defoe goes to Chelsea, Chelsea can provide Defoe with a five-year salary. £[-] a week. That's not something our club can afford."

Terry Brown smiled wryly.

fifty thousand pounds.

Although the salaries of British football players have increased rapidly in recent years, only those giants can afford [-] pounds.Not to mention West Ham United, even the same strong London team Tottenham currently does not have a player whose salary can reach [-] pounds.The highest salary in Tottenham's salary system is only £[-] a week.In fact, not to mention Tottenham, even Arsenal's current gun king Henry's salary is just that.

As the current top player in England, Henry is negotiating a contract extension with Arsenal, and he only asks for a weekly salary of [-] pounds.The salaries of Pires, Ljungberg, and Vieri are all around [-] pounds.Players who have just successfully renewed their contracts in the past two years rarely earn more than [-] pounds.Of course, if these players renew their contracts now, their salaries can reach [-] to [-] pounds.But this is the London giants Arsenal.

The general salary of West Ham's current players is around [-] pounds, and there are even many players whose salaries are only a few thousand pounds.West Ham captain Carrick's current salary is only [-] pounds.Fifty thousand pounds, West Ham can't even think about it.

Chen Ping was also angry.

I didn't think much of it in my previous life, but it was fun to watch the excitement of the transfer market.But when he was really in English football, when he was really in it, Chen Ping really gritted his teeth for Chelsea.

Not because they want to buy Defoe, but because Chelsea's move will greatly increase the salaries of the entire English football players.For a small team like West Ham, it is difficult to retain good players.Of course, it is also because of upstarts like Chelsea that the value of Ying is getting higher and higher.Only then will the broadcasting fee of the English team become higher and higher, and the income of the club will also increase rapidly.It can be regarded as pros and cons.

"That means Defoe must leave?"

"Chen, we have only two options now. Either let Defoe go, or we will completely tear ourselves apart with Defoe. But Chen, we are a small club after all. If we quarrel too fiercely with the players, it will not do us good."

Chen Ping did not blame Terry Brown.

And the players were tough and certainly looked handsome.But for a small club like West Ham, after the Bosman Act, it has become more and more vulnerable to players.Defoe wanted to leave with all his heart, and West Ham really had no good way to stop it.

Unless West Ham tear up their skin and insist on keeping Defoe.

But both sides suffer, those rich and powerful teams can bear it.But West Ham has no such confidence.

"Walk?"

Chen Ping smiled, damn it.I was used to Chinese football in my previous life, so I mixed English football with Chinese football in my previous life.In Chinese football, clubs are much stronger than players, but this is European football.And he actually believed Defoe's promise naively.

But since he was leaving, Chen Ping of course needed to get what he needed.

"Terry, how about leaving this transfer to me? Let Zahavi come and talk to me about Defoe's transfer, and Defoe's agent also came to find me."

"can."

Terry Defoe nodded, but still said: "However, Chen. Don't make too much noise, it's not good for us."

"I know."

Chen Ping already had his own ideas in his mind, so he said with a smile: "Defoe will transfer, and his transfer fee must be kept. I will use it for the winter transfer and the summer transfer."

"it is good."
