Chapter 591 Legendary Team
"boss."
When Abramovich, accompanied by Granovskiya, walked into the Stamford Bridge conference room, chairman Bruce Barker, CEO Peter Kenyon, sports director Frank Arnesen and coach Rijkaard, who had already sat in the waiting room, stood up.
"Sit, sit, sit." Abramovich waved his hand and signaled that they should be welcome.
Especially for Rijkaard, Abramovich smiled and attached great importance to it, which also made the black swan's originally stiff expression much more relaxed.
He is really not used to this kind of management atmosphere within Chelsea.
"Okay, let's talk about our current situation." As soon as Abramovich sat down, he immediately signaled to the conference room to start.
The purpose of this high-level meeting is to discuss the transfer operation process of Chelsea this summer, especially the signing situation. Judging from the current situation, the progress is still going smoothly.
Chelsea poached right-back Beletti from Barcelona, introduced central defender Alex from Eindhoven, and successively introduced Pizarro from Bayern Munich and Sidwell from Reading. The three players behind were all free transfers.
But at the same time, Chelsea also let go of players such as Las Diyala, Glen Johnson, Gremy, and Bolarus, who were all players who failed to get the opportunity to perform last season, or who did not perform satisfactorily.
The most regrettable one is Glen Johnson, a right-back who once performed very much under Gao Han, but was not favored by Mourinho and is now eliminated by Chelsea.
"I called Lyon Chairman Oras personally and talked about Maluda's transfer. He spoke up and shouted out 30 million euros directly. I refused on the spot."
Peter Kenyon said this, a little helpless, "But if you want to get this left winger, you must pay a big price."
Since Robben was clamoring to transfer, Chelsea has already begun to plan Robben's substitute. After searching, they chose Lyon's left winger Maluda, who performed well in both Ligue 1 and Champions League last season.
But the entire European football world knows that Oras is a famous vampire. Can buying people from him be cheap?
But some money is really not saved.
Since Gao Han led Chelsea to the top, the Blues have almost dominated the entire Premier League in the past few years, and the limelight is strong, but this summer, Manchester United finally resurrected with full health.
Ferguson took advantage of Tevez, Pepe, Nani, Anderson and other powerful young players in one go, and their strength has skyrocketed.
Not only that, Manchester United is also pursuing Bayern Munich's midfielder Hargreaves, and is also negotiating a transfer with Leverkusen to goalkeeper René Adler.
In addition, Chelsea has basically agreed to the transfer of old goalkeeper Van der Sar.
In other words, Ferguson will have to take a double insurance policy in the weakest link of goalkeeper in the new season.
Judging from the current situation, Manchester United has invested a lot, which is clearly a big deal with Chelsea to fight against the league championship and European competitions.
Some media reporters revealed that Ferguson will retire after winning another Champions League, but no one knows the authenticity of the current situation.
With Manchester United increasing its investment, Chelsea had to follow suit.
Maluda is just one of the links. Chelsea will strengthen its goalkeeper position next. The player they are currently interested in is Abramovich's fellow countryman, Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeyev. The CSKA Moscow, whom the latter plays for, has close ties with Abramovich, and the deal should be very smooth.
When Abramovich heard this, he looked at Peter Kenyon and nodded, "The negotiations must be completed quickly and don't delay the team's pre-season preparations."
"I understand." Peter Kenyon nodded.
"Is Robben still unwilling to renew his contract?" Abramovich asked.
He still admires Robben very much, because he was once the most eye-catching star in Chelsea's team, and was even known as the world-class superstar that Chelsea is most likely to be trained, but now he is about to leave the team.
Mourinho doesn't like Robben very much, Abramovich has known this a long time ago. In order to win the Champions League championship in the second half of last season, he had to help Mourinho. But as a result, he didn't win the Champions League, Robben was discouraged by Chelsea and was about to leave the team.
"Yes, he didn't even invite us to get married, but he invited Gao Han." Frank Aneson shook his head complainingly. He was the one who helped him when he arrived in Eindhoven, and his relationship was pretty good after coming to Chelsea.
But unexpectedly, now it is almost strange.
"What does Real Madrid say?" Abramovich asked again.
"Mijatovic said he would not consider putting Robinho into Robben's transfer because they did not have the idea of selling the Brazilian, and from his tone, it seems that they have no contact with Robben in recent times. Instead, Bayern Munich seems very proactive."
"Bayern Munich?" Abramovich was a little surprised.
"Yes, this Bundesliga team performed very badly last season and couldn't even play in the Champions League. Now they are planning a restructuring in a hurry, so they want to poach Robben and also made a quotation of 25 million euros, but we rejected it. But Robben's father came to Stamford Bridge and said that he hopes we will seriously consider the offer of Bayern Munich."
When Abramovich heard this, he frowned, "What's going on?"
"Who knows?" Peter Kenyon shook his head, "Maybe Bayern Munich has made a promise."
This is also a common thing in European football, such as Bayern Munich promised to give Robben a huge annual salary.
"It seems that he is determined to leave the team."
"Yes." Peter Kenyon replied.
Abramovich thought for a while and looked at Rijkaard again, "Frank, what do you think?"
Rijkaard thought for a while, "Robben's departure is indeed a pity, but since he wants to leave, let him do it, but I hope to get an excellent winger."
“What about?”
"Messi of Barcelona, or Robinho of Real Madrid."
"Messi cannot join Chelsea." Peter Kenion reminded.
Messi had to leave Chelsea because of the high cold, which made it difficult for the Argentinians to return to Stamford Bridge.
"Then Robinho."
Peter Kenyon immediately looked at Abramovich, the player's value was no less than Robben.
Abramovich thought for a while and immediately made a decision: "Okay, do all your efforts to operate Robinho."
Peter Kenyon nodded, "Where is Robben?"
A trace of determination flashed through Abramovich's eyes, "Since he wants to leave, let him do it."
But at this moment, for some reason, a person's name suddenly flashed through the Russian mind.
"By the way, how is Gao Han doing recently? Frank just said that Gao Han was invited to attend Robben's wedding?"
Abramovich has a conditioned vigilance about this name. For some reason, every time he hears this name, he feels creepy.
He still remembers what Gao Han said to him on the podium of the Champions League final.
"There was no movement. He came to Robben's wedding. We only found out later, but it was said that he went to Madrid. You know, he had a team there, and I heard that he has been upgraded this year."
"Release again?" Abramovich was a little surprised.
"Yes, it's level one year, and now it's level three." Peter Kenyon also found it incredible.
It feels like that Chinatown team is full of incredible mystery, just like Gao Han.
After so many years of European football, from ancient times to the present, which team has been able to successfully upgrade from the lowest-level league in such a short time?
More importantly, this team has not invested much money so far.
They rely on Atletico Madrid to recruit several youth training players every year, and then buy some cost-effective players from the transfer market, buy low and sell high, and they live a very comfortable life and have stable results. This has to be said to be a legend.
But no matter what, this news reassured Abramovich.
Even if Chinatown is promoted, it is still the third-level team now. Even if it is really promoted to the Spanish League and La Liga one day, it will be a matter of the Spanish League and has nothing to do with him.
Anyway, as long as Gao Han stops from appearing in his vision, that's fine.
This was the first time Rijcard, who was sitting behind, saw Abramovich mention Gao Han, but he felt that this Chelsea boss seemed to be very afraid of Gao Han, just like a frightened bird, and he had to admire Gao Han.
"Okay, nothing is wrong, just decide like this." Abramovich said with some excitement.

When Abramovich was talking about summer transfers at Stamford Bridge and the talented strategy of the new Premier League journey, Gao Han sat depressedly in the office of Fuen Lavrada Chinatown Youth Training Center. Looking at the thick stack of resume materials in front of him, he felt like he was overwhelmed.
Finding a head coach for Chinatown in the new season is his main purpose of this trip.
As a result, two days passed, but he still couldn't find something that suited his wishes.
But it’s no wonder he is picky. He is the head coach himself. As a head coach, Shen Du’s job is naturally dissatisfied with these colleagues who coach low-level leagues.
Although there are many excellent head coaches who coach low-level leagues, very few can meet the requirements of high-altitude.
However, the advantage is that with Gao Han's reputation, there are many head coaches who want to coach Chinatown. The resumes are as large as Gao Han's, but the more you look, the more you feel disappointed. Can't you show something that makes people shine?
"Look, you can just coach yourself." Cantalero was opposite him, looking at his entangled look, and smiled gloatingly. Finally, he encountered something Gao Han was in trouble.
"It's just a promotional team in the third-level league. Don't take yourself too seriously."
Gao Han was not happy to listen to this.
"What do you mean just a promoted team in the third-level league? Do you know how many future stars are gathered in our youth training camp? Do you know how much high hopes I have for this team? Our goal is to upgrade, upgrade, and then upgrade, and you will enter La Liga within two or three years."
Cantalero smiled, and this was true, but he said that the promoted team in the third-level league was not wrong.
"I don't believe it anymore, and I can't find a reassuring one."
Gao Han also became stubborn and started looking for it in his resume again.
Not to mention, he really found someone that could make his eyes shine.
Just as he was about to take out the man's resume and carefully look at his resume and coaching philosophy, his phone suddenly rang out at this moment.
Chapter completed!
