Chapter 229 Yes, I'm a Nouveau riche!

Some people say that everyone has a group personality.

Fabio Cannavaro believed this because he and Chiro Ferrara had a very obvious Naples personality, that is, they like chaos and noise. Compared to their teammates who liked the quiet countryside, they must choose to be in the bustling city center because it was lively enough.

But strangely, when they go on vacation every summer, their choices seem completely different, because they have chosen beaches and yachts for three or four consecutive years. They take their whole family to sea on yachts, spend their vacations on yachts, and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

It has to be said that the Naples always retain their strong and unyielding sailor character. Even on the storm and waves, they still dare to jump off the yacht and act as a cheering trendsetter for their children in the rising and falling seas.

Even though Cannavaro's leg injury has not yet been healed, this cannot affect his outstanding swimming skills on the sea. Ferrara is not inferior to this. Two former teammates from Naples have fun on the sea every day.

Perhaps, all Naples should be born to look for happiness in the sea.

After a swimming competition, when they returned to the yacht, both of them were already out of breath, but their expressions were very excited.

"I won, Chiro," Cannavaro said proudly at Ferrara, "I may not be as good as you in playing cards, but when it comes to swimming, you are not as good as me. After all, you are in your thirties."

Ferrara looked depressed. This guy was too shameless, but he couldn't argue with age. Who made Cannavaro only age and had more than a month to reach 30?

I have to say that Ferrara's physical function has declined rapidly in recent years, especially in Juventus, who gradually cannot play in the game and gradually become a substitute, which makes it increasingly difficult for his body to adapt to the professional league with such great intensity, and retirement has been put in front of him.

"I heard that if Cooper falls in love with Stam, will it affect you?"

The two sat at the end of the yacht, with their feet soaked in the water. In the distance, their wives and children were still playing in the water. The two families were having fun, which was enough to envy others.

"No, Mr. Morati told me before that he would not let me leave, and I promised him that he would give me some time, and the shin injury would be cured soon, and I would definitely be able to perform at the best time." Cannavaro looked confident.

The tibial fracture is just a small injury. Under normal circumstances, as long as a few games are suspended and some low-intensity training is performed, they will naturally be cured. Cocannavaro's condition is special because after he was injured, neither Cooper nor Inter Milan's team doctor allowed him to rest, but continued to play, which led to him not recovering even now.

Injuries also prevented him from showing his due strength in the game. In addition, the continuous changes in the central defender combination of Inter Milan at that time led to controversy in Inter Milan for a year. Especially last season, Cooper criticized Cannavaro many times, believing that his performance was very bad.

Because of this, many people are speculating that Cannavaro is likely to leave Inter Milan this summer.

But who will become a new place for Cannavaro?

There were rumors before that Juventus, but what Moji wants now is Chivo's central defender Lerotale. As for Real Madrid, their focus is Beckham and this summer's Asian trip. Although there is news that he and Cannavaro are linked, there has been no movement.

More importantly, Florentino's most urgent thing now is to find a new coach for Real Madrid.

Before, Real Madrid and Barcelona competed in the coach selection process. They both wanted to get Ye Qiu, but what they didn't expect was that Ye Qiu chose Chelsea, so these two giants are now starting to look for the coach.

But this does not mean that Cannavaro's situation in Inter Milan is optimistic.

Inter Milan had three major central defenders last season. Cannavaro did not have any advantage in the competition with Cordoba and Matrazi. Now, Inter Milan is associated with Stam and Lucio, especially Stam, which is undoubtedly even more unfavorable to Cannavaro.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Cannavaro smiled a little reluctantly and patted his old friend Ferrara on the shoulder. Rather than comforting Ferrara, he was cheering himself up because he knew his status in Inter Milan very well.

The annual salary of 4.5 million euros after tax means that Inter Milan spends on Cannavaro's salary and benefits every year, plus taxes, which is definitely a huge pressure that no club can bear.

You know, the introduction of Cannavaro with such an amazing salary was after the crazy investment of Lazio and Rome, coupled with the World Cup craze, and Inter Milan had been operating Nesta to switch to AC Milan, and Morati had to make a painful decision under pressure.

But now, the Italian football market generally pursues thrift and thrift. If Cannavaro can exert the strength of the core central defender, the 9 million euro salary expenditure is still acceptable. However, judging from Cannavaro's performance last season, this is definitely a expenditure that even Moratti feels distressed.

And a very important factor is that Cannavaro's leg injury has never been healed, and he is about to be 30 years old. Everyone is wondering whether he can still return to his peak state.

Because of this, there have been reports from the outside world that Inter Milan's attitude towards Cannavaro is very vague. If a team is willing to bid 15UU,000 euros, they can take away the captain of the Italian national team who was worth UUNOUNO euros a year ago.

But in the transfer market, there are few responders.

This is undoubtedly joy and sadness for Cannavaro.

I am happy because no one is interested in him, so he can continue to stay in Inter Milan and continue to live with his high salary; sadly, the self pursued by countless teams a year ago was no longer cared about after a year, which has to be said to be a great humiliation.

Of course, Chiro Ferrara is also very clear about the details here. He is also depressed by his friends, but there is no way. Even if the professional players are big, they are far less powerful than the club, because the latter holds the ownership of the former and sells it if you want to sell it. It is still difficult for you to refuse unless you want to stay without dignity.

Just as the two were silent, the phone rang on the yacht.

"I'll pick it up" Ferrara patted Cannavaro on the shoulder and climbed up.

Not long after, he saw him coming out of the yacht, "Hey, Fabio, your phone number, Oliari"

Ogliari, head of the marketing department of Inter Milan, is responsible for transfer operations.

As soon as he heard this name, Cannavaro's heart thumped and he remembered this message, transfer?

He obviously paused, his movements were a little stiff, but he still pulled his legs out of the water and climbed onto the yacht. He was just a little slow, and he seemed to be taking heavy steps.

Ferrara comforted Cannavaro's shoulder at the door, turned around and walked towards the end of the yacht, leaving Cannavaro talking on the phone alone inside. He believed that there must be many things Cannavaro didn't want to be heard.

"Hello, Fabio" Ogliari said hello on the other side of the phone, but she did not have the laughter she saw when she saw Cannavaro on weekdays.

"Hello, is there anything you need to ask me for?" Cannavaro couldn't make his tone relax.

"Yes, something is wrong." Ogliari was obviously hesitating about how to speak, and in the end he decided to go straight to the point. "You know, the club management decided to make some adjustments to the business strategy. We want to get a more streamlined and competitive team. This is the management and Cooper's idea."

After a meal, Ogliari continued, "We have always gotten along well with you, and we are unwilling to cause unnecessary misunderstandings in some matters, so I decided to notify you in person..."

"... Maybe in the eyes of many people, we did a stupid thing, but we decided to sell you because Chelsea offered you a transfer offer of 10UU,000 euros, which made us invest in other places and it was hard for us to refuse."

Cannavaro can't remember what Ogliari said in the end. The only thing he remembers is that he is just like a walking corpse, dealing with Ogliari, and his mind is buzzing. He is only worth 10UU,000 euros. This is outrageous.

Cannavaro punched the table with anger, as if the entire yacht was shocked, so Ferrara turned around and looked at him, but did not come over and just waited there, which was a kind of respect.

Soon, Cannavaro called his agent Enrique Federer.

"I know you will definitely call, Fabio." The voice from Enrique Federer was very loud.

"I just walked out of Stamford Bridge Stadium, I met their head coach Ye Qiu, and the agent Eliza Moon who was responsible for the transfer. They all confirmed the transfer with me and told me that they have signed an agreement with Inter Milan. Unless you refuse, you are now Chelsea."

This undoubtedly made Cannavaro's heart, which had a trace of hope, completely immersed in the Mediterranean bottom. He felt as if his whole body was exhausted. He didn't know why it suddenly turned like this?

Didn’t Morati agree to him not to sell his? Didn’t Cooper say that what he wants is a wing and the defense line is still unmoved?

"Fabio" agent finally found a quieter place to speak well, "I talked to Ye Qiu. He is full of interest in you, and he firmly believes that you can reach your peak again at Chelsea. He promises that you don't have to cut your salary when you come to Chelsea, and that you will have 4.5 million euros after tax, and if the team wins honors, there will be an additional generous bonus."

"It's a pretty good treatment, Fabio," Enrique Federer concluded.

Cannavaro finally accepted the reality, "But, Enrique, I don't want to leave Serie A, I don't want to go to the Premier League"

In this regard, Enrique Federer had long expected that the captain of the Italian national team would run to the Premier League, which was too risky and would likely affect Cannavaro's status and influence in the Italian national team. After all, Serie A is the world's number one league now, and the Premier League has just risen a little faster in recent years.

Let’s take a look at who is going to the Premier League?

Deselli, Zora, Viali and others have all passed their peak period and are considered to be retired when they go to the Premier League. Cocanavaro has not yet reached the point of retirement. In addition, he is like Veron. He has been in a slump after going to Manchester United and is now desperately trying to escape from the Premier League. It is said that he may join Inter Milan.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Fabio, Ye Qiu is right. Many Serie A stars come to the Premier League to either retire or perform poorly, but you also have to see Henry and Vieira. They haven't played in Serie A, but when they go to the Premier League, they become superstars, and I can see that Ye Qiu and Chelsea are very ambitious."

Cannavaro shook his head vigorously, "I'm very confused now and I can't think, Enrique, I... Doesn't there be any team in Italy that wants to strengthen the central defender? Or is there no La Liga?"

Enrique Federer on the other side of the phone hesitated, "Italia does have teams that need to strengthen the central defender, but you know, many teams now have unsatisfactory finances, and they are likely to not even be able to play in European competitions, so if you go, there is no need to mention a significant salary cut, and you can't play in European competitions.

"Real Madrid and Barcelona both want to strengthen the central defender, but I have also had some contact with them. The most important thing they are now is the introduction of head coaches and frontcourt players. You know, this is the tradition of La Liga. Barcelona's chairman Laporta had vowed to introduce Beckham and Ye Qiu, but now Beckham has gone to Real Madrid and Ye Qiu has gone to Chelsea. He has to find a suitable substitute to calm the anger of the fans."

After saying so much, the agent's meaning is already very obvious, that is, if Cannavaro refuses Chelsea, he can only continue to stay in Inter Milan and wait for interested buyers to come to him, which is likely to make him lose face.

Many times, professional players are so embarrassing. When the scenery is prosperous, everyone will lift them up and when the disaster is in trouble, everyone will fall.

"Believe me, Fabio, I think you should talk to Chelsea well and listen to Ye Qiu's ideas." The agent gave his own advice, and there was his plan for Cannavaro and his own interests in it. Because Cannavaro does not cut his salary, he could also get his own benefits.

"I'll think about it again," sighed Cannavaro.

Just when Cannavaro was still hesitating, Chelsea finally announced two belated transfers.

The official website announced that the team introduced goalkeeper Van der Sar and right-back Macon from Ajax for RU and 15UU 100,000 euros respectively. Both players are Ye Qiu's old players in Ajax. Now they are reunited with Stamford Bridge, and no one is surprised.

After announcing this transfer, the Italian Milan Sports Daily published another exciting news. Chelsea launched a strong attack on Pirlo and Nesta, and the offer of Pirlo was increased to 30UU,000 euros, while Nesta's transfer offer was also increased to 55UUU,000 euros. Both transfers were surprising.

But AC Milan's general manager Gariani announced that he would reject all offers for Pirlo and Nesta.

"Everyone knows that we are not short of money, and we will not be tempted by the money of nouveau riche. The most important thing for us this summer is to stabilize the team's lineup, further improve the team structure, and continue to attack European competitions and Serie A championships."

At the same time, Chelsea's quotations against three Arsenal stars have also been further increased, among which the quotations for Vieira have been increased to 40 million euros, and Henry's quotations are as high as UUUUUN 10,000 euros, which makes Arsenal hate them, and Wenger directly scolds Chelsea's nouveau riche in the media.

"I believe that everyone will criticize Chelsea for disrupting the transfer market. They want to put themselves opposite to everyone. I can't understand Ye Qiu's approach, it's like a nouveau riche."

Ye Qiu's counterattack against this is also very simple. You said I was a nouveau riche, and I was a nouveau riche, so I offered Henry three times his salary in Arsenal, which would also make Henry's weekly salary as high as 10,000 pounds, and Vieira's salary is also as high as 10,000 pounds.

You should know that the Gunners have long been dissatisfied with Campbell's maximum salary of 90,000 pounds after joining the team. Chelsea has suddenly announced the increase in salary. This is undoubtedly a sprinkling of salt on Arsenal's wounds, allowing Vieira, Henry and other leading stars to work hard to win their own treatment in the club's contract renewal negotiations.

Relatively speaking, it is natural for the club to hate Chelsea, but the players do not. On the contrary, they will also use Chelsea very smartly to exert pressure and increase the bargaining chips in negotiations.

Manchester United's Ferguson now has the most important thing to do Ronaldinho's transfer. When a reporter asked about his actions against Chelsea, Ferguson secretly mocked Wenger, believing that he was too petty to do so.

"I welcome more capable head coaches to the Premier League, such as Chelsea's Ye Qiu."

But in just one day, when the media broke the news that Chelsea failed to pursue Nesta and turned to Ferdinand to pay the top weekly salary of 10,000 pounds to the Premier League chief central defender, Ferguson was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He cursed in the newspaper, claiming that he was on the same front as Wenger and opposed this practice of disrupting the market.

It was in such a storm that Chelsea announced that Danish star Glenshare had transferred to Birmingham for 00,000 euros, which was also Chelsea's first income in the transfer market this season.

But soon, Ye Qiu took action again, introducing French left-back Patrick Evra, who performed well last season from Monaco, France for 3 million euros. This transfer also announced that Ashley Cole completely missed Chelsea.

Because, in the official news of Ye Qiu's introduction of Evra, he commented on the French left-back, "He will be Ashley Cole of Stamford Bridge Stadium
