The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 228 Superstar
What is Ferguson doing at home at 22 o'clock on Saturday night?

Some people may say that he is watching TV, some people may say that he is enjoying the shade on the balcony, and some people may say that he should be sleeping.

However, no one would have imagined that Ferguson would put on his wife Cathy’s emerald apron and wash dishes in the kitchen of his Cheshire villa, with a full glass of French wine next to the sink. Red wine, take a sip after washing, humming a Scottish ditty from my hometown, but it is also leisurely.

This scene is absolutely not allowed to leak out, otherwise, Ferguson's prestige might be weakened.

As for the enjoyment, I'm sorry, that belongs to my wife, Cathy and the grandchildren, and he doesn't have it!

He had to wait until he finished washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen before he could untie his apron, return to the living room and sit down comfortably, and looked at the time, it was still early, because he never rested so early, sometimes Many games are played at night, which forces him to develop the habit of going to bed late.

When he is idle and bored, like all old people, he will watch those TV dramas that are complained about by young people, and laugh at the vulgar plots in it from time to time. At this time, he is no different from other old people.

But when his mobile phone on the table rang, his face quickly changed from a smile to a serious one.

"Hello!" Ferguson picked up the phone without having time to see who it was, "Who is it?"

"It's me, David!" David Jill said on the phone. "Did you get the message?"

"What news?" Ferguson's eyes were still fixed on the TV, he was watching it enthusiastically, what's your business.

David Gill sighed when he heard that, "Ronaldinho has announced his transfer!"

"What?" Ferguson jumped up from the sofa as soon as he heard it.

You know, since April this year, he has been working on the transfer of Ronaldinho non-stop. In his opinion, after Veron refused to move to the right, Ronaldinho became The most suitable candidate to replace Beckham, and the Brazilian has a magical footwork that Premier League players do not have, this will be a strong addition to Manchester United.

Frankly speaking, there are many giants who are optimistic about Ronaldinho, but there are not many who are really interested, because the Brazilian made a splash in the Korea-Japan World Cup. In Ligue [-], he performed well in the first year. Two years is normal.

Judging from the transfer market this summer, the biggest player hotspot is still Ajax. The only team that is really interested in Ronaldinho is Manchester United. Think they will bring in Ronaldinho?I heard that the condition given by Florentino is to stay in Ligue [-] for another year and move to Madrid next year.

But Ronaldinho clearly rejected Real Madrid's proposal, saying that he would not stay in Ligue [-] again.

After the World Cup last summer, Ronaldinho was indeed very popular. At that time, Brazil 3R was in full swing. Paris Saint-Germain also took the opportunity to open their mouths, scaring away many buyers, and finally let Ronaldinho It was rotten in the hands, and a year later, in April, Ronaldinho's external valuation was 4 million euros.

At that time, Ferguson directly expressed interest in Paris Saint-Germain, hoping to conduct in-depth negotiations, but Paris Saint-Germain immediately raised the price when they saw a team expressing interest, but it was only 1200 million euros. , cold treatment.

This is also a commonly used tactic in the transfer market. Anyway, there are no other buyers. I will deal with it coldly for a while, and then I will grind with you slowly.

In June after the end of the season, Beckham's transfer became public, and Ferguson's idea of ​​finding Beckham's successor became clear. 6 million euros, and Manchester United is not allowed to return the price.

Ferguson observed the situation, determined that no other team was interested in Ronaldinho, and decided to wait.

This waited for the entry of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but the two teams entered the game in different ways. The former directly found players, hoping to persuade Ronaldinho to stay in Paris for another year, and then switch to Galacticos. But Ronaldinho's brother and agent refused.

As for Barcelona, ​​the most important thing for Laporta now is to find a coach. Although the introduction of Ronaldinho is going on, it just maintains a sense of presence and does not give positive contact. No, this reassures Manchester United.

But Paris Saint-Germain took the opportunity to raise the price again, and directly shouted that there is no 4500 million euros, don't come to Paris!

Everyone can see that they are using Ronaldinho as a cash cow, especially after seeing that after selling Beckham, Manchester United must have Ronaldinho, and Laporta is losing After acquiring Beckham, when it is urgent to introduce a star player to replace Beckham to appease the fans, the appetite of the Parisians is too great.

Even though Ferguson, David Gill and Peter Kenyon have personally negotiated with the chairman of Paris Saint-Germain, Greyle, the Frenchman arrogantly stated that Ronaldinho has no shortage of buyers, and this transfer is also It has been stalemate since mid-June.

Ferguson is very sure, because the opponent Barcelona does not have as high a transfer fee as the Parisians wanted, and Manchester United has become one of the few top teams in European football that can afford the transfer fee after selling Beckham , so he can wait and is willing to wait.

But what no one expected was that just ten days later, the news of Ronaldinho's transfer suddenly broke out in the transfer market. How could this surprise Ferguson, who was sure of winning.

"Who? Barcelona?" Ferguson asked in shock.

David Gill said with some frustration on the phone: "No, it's not Barcelona. They must be quite surprised now."

"Who is that? Don't fuck me!" Ferguson was a little angry.

"Chelsea!" said David Gill.

Ferguson was surprised, but quickly calmed down. Yes, there are not many teams with sufficient budget in the transfer market. Chelsea and Manchester United are two of them, and Chelsea has more money than Manchester United.

"Damn it!" Ferguson almost had the urge to throw away the phone, "How much did they pay?"

"3000 million euros, plus a young player introduced from Bastia, Michael Essien, the latter loaned Paris Saint-Germain for free for one year. Graylei has officially informed me that Paris Saint-Germain has only considered it for one day. Agreed, and Ronaldinho will come to London tomorrow to sign the contract, accompanied by his brother."

Michael Essien, this is a player that Ferguson had his eyes on, but due to the labor certification issue of the Premier League, Ferguson had to give up this Ghanaian rookie, but unexpectedly, he went to Chelsea, which made Ferguson have an idea The urge to vomit blood.

How could he not hate that two players he liked were poached by his opponent at the same time?

3000 million euros, I can get it myself, but why was Ye Qiu snatched it first?

"Damn it!" Ferguson cursed angrily.

"They brought in Michael Essien for 800 million euros and sublet Paris Saint-Germain for one year. It is reported that this is because Essien cannot get a work permit for the time being, and Paris Saint-Germain is also impressed by Michael Essien. interest, so the transfer was finally completed."

"Fuck it!" Ferguson uttered several swear words in succession, which showed his anger at this moment.

It is good to have money, and there is no need to worry about spending lavishly, but Ferguson is used to thrifty housekeeping. Although Manchester United is rich now, he still has to save some money, unlike that upstart.

"What do we do now?" David Gill asked.

Ferguson was a little distressed, thought for a while, and sighed: "I'll talk about it when I go back tomorrow!"

He really couldn't think of any tricks at this moment, but he kept cursing that damn Ye Qiu in his mind. He felt that the Chinese seemed to be specially against him, and kept attacking him. Why? Why didn't you go to kill Wenger?
As everyone knows, at this very moment, Wenger is at David Dunn's house, feeling depressed.

…………

…………

Early the next morning, the whole of London was boiling!
Because on this morning, the media broke the news that Paris Saint-Germain posted on the official website last night, saying that Paris Saint-Germain had accepted Chelsea's offer of 3000 million euros to Ronaldinho. The transfer also surpassed Beckham and became the king of transfer bids this summer.

All the fans were shocked, because there was no news before, everyone thought that the closest to Ronaldinho was Manchester United or Real Madrid, but suddenly it became Chelsea, which has to be said to be shocking Surprised.

In the morning, Ronaldinho arrived at the Heathrow Stadium in London accompanied by his brother Roberto Assis and his lawyer. There was already a media site here, which took photos of their arrival in London, and followed them all the way, seeing They got into the car that Chelsea came to greet them and headed to Stamford Bridge.

Throughout the morning, the two sides were engaged in intense negotiations on personal treatment, and Ye Qiu also took the time to meet with Ronaldinho. The Brazilian expressed his satisfaction with joining Chelsea and hoped to have the opportunity to perform here To show his best level, Ye Qiu promised to give him the greatest space to develop.

During the whole process, many reporters and media from all over the world gathered outside the Stamford Bridge Stadium, and many Chelsea fans came here to support the team after hearing the news. After all, Ronaldinho is also a superstar figure. .

The happiest thing is Abramovich. He gave Ye Qiu a transfer budget of 3 million euros. The purpose is to hope that Ye Qiu can introduce powerful superstars. But so far, Maicon and Van der Sar are relatively promising. Famous, Evra's reputation is not obvious, and there are almost no superstar-level players joining, which makes him very disappointed.

Of course, Abramovich himself is also very clear that although Chelsea currently occupy the top four in the Premier League every year, it is very difficult to get a superstar. Even a quasi-superstar like Ronaldinho is difficult to operate. It's complicated. Chelsea promised to give an annual salary of 400 million euros after tax to lure the Brazilian to join Chelsea.

You know, the current star of Cannavaro's level only has an annual salary of 450 million euros after tax. Can Ronaldinho be unhappy?Coupled with the fact that Chelsea got Assis through Eliza, it was finally hard work to finalize this transfer.

Therefore, Abramovich could still understand Ye Qiu's embarrassment.

Four hours later, the two sides officially signed the agreement, the next five years, Ronaldinho belongs to Chelsea.

Then, regardless of the heat at noon, Chelsea invited all the reporters outside to the press conference at Stamford Bridge, and officially announced Ronaldinho's joining to them. But this time, Ye Qiu clearly Not just to announce the arrival of Ronaldinho.

"I am very happy to be able to introduce a superstar like Ronaldinho. He is one of the most incredible players in football today. Season has become the core soul of the team's frontcourt, he is our No. 10!"

When Ye Qiu introduced Ronaldinho, he focused on the important role of the Brazilian in his tactics, and the Brazilian did not hide his teeth, grinning loudly, looking very happy happy.

"I am very honored that Chelsea and Mr. Ye Qiu value me. Yes, many people think that Mr. Ye Qiu is very young, but I think this is not a problem at all, because his age allows us to maintain better communication. , I believe I can reach a higher level at Chelsea."

In the end, Ye Qiu personally presented Ronaldinho with a Chelsea jersey number 10, with Ronaldinho's name printed on the back, and then showed it to all the reporters who came to the scene. Wanton photoshoot.

After introducing Ronaldinho, the Brazilian left the venue early, while Ye Qiu stayed and focused on introducing several transfers from Chelsea.

"We are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with Porto to introduce midfielder Anderson Deco from Porto with a transfer fee of 1200 million euros. This Porto star will bring more talents to our midfield. Energy and creativity, I'm sure he will be successful at Chelsea!"

The reporters at the scene were all in an uproar. Originally, they just wanted to report on Ronaldinho's joining, but unexpectedly, Ye Qiu suddenly offered more news, which made them all happy. crazy.

"In addition, we introduced Italian international Fabio Cannavaro from Inter Milan with an offer of 1000 million euros. The captain of the Italian national team will become a pivotal member of our defense in the new season."

The reporters were taken aback when they heard this, and then there was a burst of exclamation, because before Cannavaro was associated with giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but Chelsea made a big move to poach this name. The captain of the Italian national team, this amount is not lost to the poached Ronaldinho.

It must be admitted that Cannavaro's bad year at Inter Milan has weakened and questioned his influence and strength, but no matter what, who can question his identity as the captain of the Italian national team?
"Mr. Ye Qiu, what kind of leverage did you use to attract Cannavaro to join?" An Italian reporter asked in surprise. This news has not been exposed in Italy, and it is definitely an exclusive and pre-emptive report.

"Because I promise that we will be full of combat effectiveness in the new season, and our goal is to form the strongest team in Europe!" Ye Qiu smiled confidently. He is now full of confidence in the future.

Then, Ye Qiu highlighted two transfers, one of which was the introduction of Drogba from Guingamp in France at a price of 600 million euros. This player was watched by Wenger and Mourinho at the same time. Neither of them succeeded, but Ye Qiu's Chelsea was the first to get the beast from Côte d'Ivoire, which made Wenger vomit blood in anger.

Another thing is that Chelsea introduced Chinese right-back Sun Jihai from Manchester City. This player played well in the Premier League last season, but now that Chelsea has already introduced Maicon, it is obvious that Ye Qiu's positioning of Sun Jihai is still generalist. and substitute roles.

In addition, the sale of Chelsea is still going on. After Glenciel left the team, Desailly and Pettit also left the team one after another. Ye Qiu originally wanted to keep Hasselbaink, but the Dutch striker wanted to leave the team. To get Ye Qiu's guarantee about the position of the main force, but Ye Qiu obviously couldn't give such a promise.

In Ye Qiu's view, the fulcrum of the frontcourt is Drogba. Hasselbaink's scoring ability is indeed very strong, and he is also very impactful, but Drogba's tactical role is greater. This is Hasselbaink. What Selbaink couldn't give, it can even be said that there are not many centers who can meet Ye Qiu's needs in the current football world.

Because of this, Hasselbaink decided to transfer in a fit of anger, but Ye Qiu didn't keep him. With one year left in the contract, he sold Hasselbaink to Midell for 500 million euros. Fort, and announced that Gudjohnsen will continue to play for the team.

After Ye Qiu announced this series of transfer operations, the entire European football world was taken aback. Apart from being shocked by Chelsea's big money, it was also the first time that Ye Qiu's ability to operate such a huge transfer operation was amazed.

You know, now that Chelsea has spent less than 8000 million euros, the entire team's lineup has taken on a new look, including famous stars such as Cannavaro, Van der Sar, Maicon and Ronaldinho, as well as Drogba, Evra, Deco and other players who have proven their strength in Ligue [-] and Portuguese Super League.

With the addition of Gallas, Terry, Cudicini, Lampard and Gudjohnsen who stayed on the team, Chelsea's overall strength has obviously improved a lot compared to last season, the key lies in Ye Qiu's ability to combine up.

But just when many people thought that Ye Qiu was going to give up, he announced on the spot that Chelsea would continue to strengthen the team's lineup, especially in the midfield.

"We're going to bring in at least three more midfielders and three attackers!" Ye Qiu said confidently, as if he had already planned the transfer.

Sure enough, the subsequent transfers amazed Europe and the entire Premier League. Everyone was surprised by Chelsea's big money and transfer operation ability.
