Recently, an authoritative sports finance analysis center in Europe issued a report, which pointed out a huge crisis facing European football today, that is, the bursting of the football economic bubble!

Strictly speaking, the bubble traces back to the most glorious Seven Sisters era in the Serie A League. At that time, Serie A teams were recruiting players, and even mid- and lower-level teams were filled with first-class stars, which greatly improved the overall competitiveness of Serie A and created the most talked about Serie A era in football history.

But compared with this, it brings serious inconsistencies between the input and output of all clubs. With huge investments, it failed to get corresponding returns, which forced investors to redefine football clubs.

By the turn of the century, Lazio and Rome sought new development through listing and other methods. They raised funds through listing, and invested in the transfer market, bringing star-studded stars to their team, which also made Rome taste like a league championship.

But just two years have passed, and Lazio and Rome are now in a bankruptcy crisis, and the former is forced to live by selling off their leading stars. It is conceivable that their situation is now in a difficult situation.

Similar to the situation in Serie A, all the four major European leagues are suffering from money crises. Except for a very small number of teams, such as Real Madrid, which operates very well in La Liga, and the only three teams in the Premier League that guarantee balance of income and expenditure, Manchester United, Newcastle and Charlton. All teams are in heavy debt.

There have been long rumors that Manchester United's Ferguson is going to send Beckham away because he hopes to get Ronaldinho of Paris Saint-Germain. The transfer fee is expected to be 8 million pounds, or 12 million euros. This is really a huge gap compared to Rona's transfer price of nearly 30 million euros a year ago.

However, everyone predicts that if this transfer can be achieved, it may even become the transfer bet in the Premier League.

10 million euros is the dividing line set by this company. They believe that most transfer fees will be lower than this number, and all clubs will give priority to players under this number when signing, and once this number exceeds, they will reconsider the feasibility. This is why Ferguson has coveted Ronaldinho for so long but has never succeeded.

Leeds United is in debt of 77.8 million pounds and Chelsea is in debt of 79 million pounds. At the same time, they owe a bank loan of 300 million pounds due to this project of Chelsea Resort. After taking over Fulham, the Egyptian rich man in Fulham found that his pitiful £50 million could not fill the huge hole in the club, and he is currently having a headache.

Arsenal is planning to build a new stadium, but construction has not started, debt has reached 42 million pounds, West Ham United loses 47 million pounds, Sunderland is facing liquidation, and Everton has even had to mortgage his players to the bank for loans...

This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to buy at the bottom, so some rich people who are coveting about football have taken action.

Roman Abramovich is one of them.

At this moment, he was sitting in the stands at the San Siro Stadium. He saw with his own eyes the scene of Yang Cheng leading Inter Milan to beat AC Milan, especially when he saw Yang Cheng's team defeating his opponent in an almost invincible manner, and booked the Italian Cup in advance and won the double championship, his heart became fanatical.

"I want him to coach my future team!" Abramovich stood up from the stands excitedly.

Sitting next to him is a famous Premier League agent, Pinnie Zahavi, who has been director of many transfers for Manchester United. He is also the middleman for Ferdinand and Perron to transfer to Manchester United.

A cunning Israelite!

This is Ferguson's evaluation of him, proving that Mr. Ferguson loves and hates him.

"I support!" Zahavi stood up with a smile, "He is the most outstanding head coach in football today. He is young, handsome, fashionable, full of charm, and almost the most perfect darling of God, but I have to remind you, Roman, he is not an easy guy to convince."

After a pause, Zahavi shook his head with a wry smile, "At least Real Madrid has been pursuing him for several years, but he has never been able to make him nod and agree. Therefore, I think that if you want to convince him, you must come up with a more sincere price than Real Madrid!"

Abramovich frowned and looked at Zahavi, who laughed.

"I heard Ferguson talk about him privately. He was doing well in Inter Milan, but he hated Serie A very much. He almost left last year. This was an opportunity, but he values ​​love, money and reputation are not the most important thing for him. Another thing is that once he takes over a team, he must get the greatest power, just like Ferguson did at Manchester United."

"Yes, normal!" Abramovich waved his hand, "Anyone with ability will be full of arrogance in his personality. I like such a person, as long as he can bring me the victory I want!"

After hearing this, Zahavi burst into laughter.

Abramovich is currently privately negotiating to acquire Premier League teams, including Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. He wanted to get Manchester United before, but Zahavi's test came back, so Abramovich had to choose to turn the gun.

Speaking of which, Abramovich's enthusiasm for football comes from Inter Milan's strength, and it was bursting during the World Cup in Korea and Japan. Later, he met Zahavi through a friend's introduction. After that, Zahavi took him to Old Trafford Stadium, watched the game between Inter Milan and Manchester United, and directly gave birth to the idea of ​​buying Manchester United.

Although the acquisition of Manchester United failed, Abramovich never gave up on his pursuit of acquiring the club, but he transferred the choice to other teams.

Zahavi is a very smart person, and even Ferguson is right. He is a cunning person. He knows very well that buying and selling players can only make a fortune, but helping a wealthy big money owner to buy and sell a football club is equivalent to getting a vault.

Therefore, he finally spared no effort in Abramovich's affairs and was very enthusiastic.

Today, he took Abramovich to watch the first leg of the Italian Cup final between Inter Milan and AC Milan. It is obvious that he wants to recommend Yang Cheng to take over Abramovich's future team, because he knows very well that in the football world today, whoever joins Yang Cheng will rise.

If he could get along with the two big vaults of Yang Cheng and Abramovich, he would be able to sit and count the money even if he broke his legs in the future, and he would not have to worry about it anymore.

"Maybe, Roman, we should study a set of rhetoric!" Zahavi suggested with a smile.

…………

…………

On the third day after the first leg of the Italian Cup final, the entire Milan City was still immersed in the atmosphere of Inter Milan booking the Italian Cup championship in advance. The red and black fans lost the championship in a sad way, but Abramovich met Yang Cheng in Isolabella.

"Wow, Miss Aniston!" Abramovich's eyes lit up. He recognized the person sitting next to Yang Cheng as the Hollywood sweetheart, Jennifer Aniston.

He had known Yang Cheng and knew that Yang Cheng had scandals with many world-renowned beauties, but now he was surprised and amazed when he saw Aniston and Yang Cheng sitting together for dinner and joking.

Aniston is really beautiful!

"Hello, Caesar!" Zahavi smiled and reached out, "I am an Israeli agent, my name is Pinnie Zahavi, and he is also the agent of Peron and Ferdinand!"

Yang Cheng nodded. Although Yang Cheng was a little unhappy about the Israeli operation of Peron and transferring to Manchester United, he did not blame him. After all, everyone is their own master, which is inevitable.

"Is there anything wrong?" Yang Cheng recognized Roman Abramovich, and he looked directly at the Russians.

"It's like this. I really appreciate Mr. Yang Cheng's coaching level. I want to buy a team..."

"Chelsea?" Yang Cheng blurted out.

Abramovich was stunned and shook his head and said, "It's not confirmed yet, but I'm very interested in this team."

He thought Yang Cheng was optimistic about this team and immediately remembered Chelsea's name. On the contrary, Arsenal, who had talked very well before, was put aside by him.

"Oh, is that so? Congratulations!" Yang Cheng responded politely.

"I hope Mr. Yang Cheng can be the head coach of my team." Abramovich said confidently.

Confident and even a little arrogant, this is what Yang Cheng thinks of this Russian. He does not deny that Abramovich has excellent personal charm, but his words always have a little bit of a lofty feeling.

This is very similar to Florentino, except that the Russians are beyond words, while the Spanish are more restrained, but they are not the type that Yang Cheng likes.

"I don't even have a team, so I'm in a hurry to find a head coach?" Yang Cheng laughed.

Zahavi also laughed and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Abramovich can be said to have been influenced by you, Mr. Yang Cheng, and decided to invest in football. He is a novice who has just joined the fan family for a while, so he really hopes to get help from Mr. Yang Cheng."

Speaking of this, Abramovich looked serious.

"Yes, Pinnie is right. I like football since early 2002. At that time, I went to a familiar restaurant for dinner and had some friends, but the restaurant owner had a bad service attitude that day, so I asked him why, but he scolded me, but at the same time, he was also scolding another team, Inter Milan!"

Speaking of this, Abramovich laughed, "It turns out that the team he supports is AC Milan. He hates Inter Milan for defeating the team he loves. For this reason, he has been depressed for several days and has no business to do. I was wondering at the time, what kind of thing is that makes a person obsessed with this?"

"So, I decided to go to watch football games. I watched Inter Milan and many other teams. Then I went to Korea and *** to watch the World Cup. I gradually understood a little, I like this world!"

Abramovich opened his arms arbitrarily, unspeakable.

Even if you hate Abramovich, you must admit that he is really charming and his words are convincing.

"I'm a rich man, they all call people like us oligarchs, but I can tell you that my best friends are not those who help me make and manage wealth, but those brothers who licked the last drop of vodka with me. The reason I decided to enter the world of football is because I think there are more people like this here."

Yang Cheng nodded constantly, "Yes!"

"For me, it's harder to spend money than to make money, because every time I spend money, I will measure whether I'm worth it? But in my creed, there are two ways to spend money that will prevent me from calculating these things, one for love and the other for hatred."

“I love football, so I’m willing to invest more.”

Indeed, Abramovich's words immediately made Yang Cheng, who was very passionate about football, feel very touched after hearing this, and feels that he had prejudice against this Russian before.

Recalling the report he had seen before, he had to admit something.

After 2003, European football began to fully withstand the bubble crisis created by previous large investments, and almost all clubs were in financial difficulties. Therefore, Real Madrid was able to frequently wave the euro checks in their hands to buy other people's superstars because they are one of the few investors on the European continent who can afford to spend money.

And at this time, Abramovich's appearance, coupled with his huge investment, has indeed saved many endangered teams to a certain extent, and at least those teams that were poached by him have received benefits, right?

It’s past to say that the Savior has passed, but at least he has indeed made contributions.

Zahavi was moved by Yang Cheng, so he smiled and said, "In addition to preparing to buy a team, Mr. Abramovich also prepared a transfer fee of 200 million pounds, preparing to sign a large number of players this summer."

After a deliberate pause, the cunning agent immediately laughed and reminded: "Caiser, you should be very clear that this money can definitely create the most luxurious team in today's transfer market."

Yang Cheng agreed with this analysis because the transfer market is indeed very sluggish now, and clubs are short of money, so it is very easy to poach people.

"In addition to the huge transfer fee, Mr. Abramovich will also provide Mr. Yang Cheng with the highest head coach salary in the world. You can get a salary of 6 million pounds after tax, and a huge bonus. The contract lasts for 5 years and the liquidated damages reach 20 million pounds." Zahavi once again threw out a heavy temptation.

The salary of 6 million pounds is about 9 million euros, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the annual salary of Yang Cheng's world's top head coach and break the current annual salary of the world's number one head coach Yang Cheng received in Inter Milan, which is a huge temptation for anyone.

By Zahavi's standards, whoever refuses this temptation is a fool or an idiot.

Even Aniston felt that Yang Cheng should be unlikely to refuse, because this was almost a sky-high price.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "Give me some time to think about it!"

He did think about leaving Inter Milan after the end of this season, provided that he can win the Champions League and complete the unprecedented triple-championship. As long as he completes the goal, he will leave. Neither Morati nor Facheti will stop him. This is their previous agreement.

But he really didn't think about joining Chelsea. It wasn't that he didn't think about it before, but he always felt that Abramovich's words were a bit unfair enough, and he was worried about Abramovich's character.

After all, he is a rich man. Once Chelsea becomes his pocket, Yang Cheng is his employee. Even Mourinho is inevitable. Yang Cheng doesn't think he will not be disturbed, but what he hates the most is interference.

Yang Cheng has a quirk, or self-protection consciousness, that is, he would rather not go than regret it in the future.

Zahavi and Abramovich looked at each other, and neither of them thought that Yang Cheng would agree at once, so they expressed their understanding and made a few polite words with Yang Cheng.

"No matter what, I'm really happy to know you, Mr. Yang Cheng!" Abramovich smiled and reached out.

Yang Cheng stood up and nodded, "So too, Mr. Abramovich, I hope we can all be friends regardless of whether there is a chance to cooperate or not!"

"Of course, we are already friends, so please call me Roman in the future. I like my friends to call me by my name!"

"So too!" Yang Cheng responded with a smile.

Abramovich was a very straightforward person and failed to get Yang Cheng's promise, but he still did not miss him and took Zahavi and left directly.

After they walked out of Isorabella and sat in Abramovich's car, the Russian talent sighed deeply.

"He is such a careful guy!" Abramovich shook his head and said helplessly.

Zahavi laughed, "That's natural. The nickname of Caesar is not for nothing, but I am very confident that you gave him such a huge temptation, I don't think he would refuse, let alone, I have a definite news, and there was an agreement between him and Morati."

"Leave Inter Milan after winning the Champions League?" Abramovich also heard of this agreement from the newspaper.

Although it has not been recognized by the parties involved, there is no doubt that everyone is very clear that Yang Cheng, who almost left Inter Milan last summer, would have a very high possibility of leaving Inter Milan if he wins another Champions League, because he has completely lost the Serie A and hates this league.

"The only reason for keeping him in Inter Milan is that he has not fulfilled his original promise, but if the team wins the triple-tall this season, the promise will be fulfilled and he will not stay again. Everyone knows all this, so you can see that Real Madrid, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and other teams are closely contacting him, and even Barcelona, ​​Juventus, and AC Milan are considering putting him on the shortlist."

"He is like a phenomenon, a unique phenomenon in today's football world, and everyone longs for him!" Zahavi praised it.

Abramovich smiled and said confidently: "So, I will do everything possible to get him!"
Chapter completed!
