Chapter 768: Brewing
Sitting on the sofa, Abramovich looked at Ronan opposite him and said: "I didn't expect that this season we have become direct competitors. ”
Ronan said calmly: "Manchester United are traditional powerhouses, and if Chelsea want to make a difference in the Premier League, there will definitely be competition with Manchester United. ”
Abramovich frowned slightly and said: "Chelsea are also strong. ”
Ronan smiled slightly, but didn't answer.
Abramovich said: 'Ronan, we're all outsiders, it's been almost two years since I bought Chelsea, do you know what I feel most about professional football?
Ronan was cooperative and asked, "What is it?"
"Professional clubs want to be bigger and stronger," Abramovich said, "There has to be money." ”
Ronan chimed in: "I couldn't agree more. ”
It wasn't for nothing that Roman Abramovich approached Ronan: "So, I continue to invest heavily in Chelsea, and Chelsea will eventually become a big club, and what happened last summer won't happen over and over again. ”
It's a subtle, a bit of a-for-tat, and Ronan understands it, as Abramovich is talking about Manchester United snatching transfer targets from Chelsea last summer.
With Ronan's current strength, of course, he will not be stunned by Abramovich: "Roman, you should understand that which club to transfer to, this is the player's decision, it is the player who chooses Manchester United, because Manchester United is more attractive and can provide a fantastic stage." ”
The reality is that even with Jose Mourinho, the Champions League-winning coach, and the conditions are similar, if you ask a player to choose between Manchester United and Chelsea, most people will choose Manchester United.
Abramovich understands that United are the culmination that United must cross if Chelsea want to rise, saying: "The past is behind us and I will be more committed to Chelsea this summer, regardless of success or failure this season. ”
Ronan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't invest another pound in Manchester United, Manchester United's income is enough to keep the club running." ”
This may seem like a prosaic remark, but Roman Abramovich is speechless, and Manchester United's own income is not less than his big investment.
Abramovich was silent for a moment before he said: "No matter what happens to Manchester United, Chelsea will not admit defeat and I hope to see you in the stadium next time." ”
Ronan smiled and said: "I'll go to Manchester United when I have time. ”
The two shook hands, and Abramovich took his leave.
Ronan sat for a moment, and Tom Cruise came looking for him.
'I just saw the owners of Chelsea. Tom Cruise asked, "What did he talk about?
Ronan said simply: "Let's talk about the future of the two clubs. ”
Tom Cruise was a little strange: "This Russian, would be so kind?"
In the American mind, the Russians are arrogant and vulgar, like the Americans in the eyes of the British.
"This is the UK," Ronan said. ”
Tom Cruise understood: "Also, if Abramovich wants to break into Western society, he must follow the rules here. By the way, there have been rumours that he bought Chelsea Football Club in order to facilitate access to Western high society. ”
Ronan just said, "Possibly. ”
The former KGB in Russia today is really a powerful figure, and even if Abramovich is friendly with him, he is probably worried about the future.
Britain, presumably the retreat prepared by Abramovich.
Football and Chelsea seem to act as a protective layer.
Tom Cruise said: 'Ronan, you have to watch out for Roman Abramovich, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is very good at psychological warfare and often influences opponents through a lot of factors off the pitch. ”
Ronan nodded slightly: "I've also heard that in today's professional football, more and more off-field factors will affect the game itself. ”
"I look a bit like an Oscar. Tom Cruise saw it thoroughly: "Just like the Oscars, it's not just the movie itself that determines the award. ”
Ronan whispered, "Win off the court." ”
Tom Cruise said with a smile: "It makes a lot of sense, Mourinho has won a lot of Chelsea games this season. ”
Ronan said: "The manager is very tough and has a will of steel. ”
At his peak, Magic Bird is definitely one of the toughest football coaches on the planet.
No one can underestimate Mourinho, and neither can Ronan, so he is ready to win off the pitch, just like Mourinho's usual psychological warfare.
"By the way, I heard David Gill say that Manchester United are ready to bring back the Orient players in their squad this summer. Tom Cruise is already very good at thinking about the club's affairs from the owner's point of view: "Having an Oriental player is not conducive to us developing the Eastern market, as Hollywood did in the movies. ”
Ronan said: "Unless he can actually play, at least he has to be in the rotation of Manchester United. ”
Tom Cruise said: "You don't fancy him? Ferguson is said to be very bullish on his talent and spent £3.5 million on him. ”
The price is telling, and Manchester United are willing to pay such a high price for a teenager, not for commercial purposes, but really very optimistic about the player's talent and future.
Ronan has also heard people talk about it, and Ferguson has expressed his appreciation for the talent of King Dong more than once, and even thinks that his talent is no less than that of several top-notch young players in the country.
When Ronan bought Manchester United, King Dong was already in the team, but he never paid special attention or explained, talent determines the upper limit that the player may reach in the future, but the level of effort directly determines the lower limit.
There used to be some widely circulated jokes about stars: for example, a certain Oriental player who likes to shoot guns after retiring has said since 2010 that the letter Luo Huo will be finished after only three years.
For example, the success of the alphabet Luo can rely on hard work, in fact, the talent is very average, and Messi's success is due to talent, not hard work......
If King Dong works hard and can realize his talent, Ronan will certainly let the club vigorously develop him as a key star.
Otherwise, it will be the same as other players who can't play.
The competition between professional players is not much more fierce and cruel than that of Hollywood actors.
Players ultimately rely on their performance on the pitch to speak, even if it is Beckham, who is carefully packaged by Victoria, the premise of all this is that Beckham has a very good performance on the pitch.
There is no shortage of stories of the fall of geniuses on the football field, and the multiple pressures from competition, public opinion and the players themselves often lead to the decline of hopeful stars.
As for football on the other side of the Pacific, Ronan doesn't want to mix it up, Manchester United can go there to develop a commercial territory, and forget about those unrealistic fantasies.
Even if you really want to do something, there is a governing body that cannot be bypassed in any way.
This kind of thing should be left to the more powerful people to solve.
In the past, Oriental football was simply a collection of all kinds of jokes, and even Phelps's excellent swimming performance was so good that netizens could connect with them.
Even to the point that whenever there are other sports that achieve good results, the men's football teams in the East have to be dragged out to act as villains.
Having said that, for the fans on the other side of the Pacific, it is a deep love and hatred.
Repeatedly see and lose, and fail and lose.
That's the best way to describe the fans.
Ronan used to be one of them, and I remember a veteran player saying that if Oriental football continues to be chaotic, even the likes of Vietnam and Thailand will not be able to play.
At the time, many fans, including him, thought it was a joke and too exaggerated.
As a result, it didn't take long for these words to come true.
Who would have thought that in the 90s and the beginning of the new century, the Oriental men's football team, which could smash Southeast Asian football with its head alone, really couldn't even play Vietnam.
It was even 5-0 by Thailand.
FIFA sees it in its eyes and is anxious in its heart, how much income will it increase if such a large market can enter the World Cup?
In the words of netizens, if you can't get in, what should you do? FIFA said that it is easy to do, and we will expand the World Cup!
What if you still can't get in? FIFA can only come out of the entire Antarctic Football Confederation and give two World Cup places.
What if the penguins were to team up for the qualifiers?
Ronan has no intention of interfering with King Dong, Manchester United has a healthy competitive atmosphere, and Ferguson, although he has looked away many times, is also relatively good at developing young players.
King Dong is a player that Ferguson insists on signing, and as long as he performs well, Ferguson will definitely give him a chance.
After the party, Ronan went to Manchester United to talk to David Gill and Ferguson about work, and Ferguson also talked about King Dong.
Ferguson spoke highly of King Dong: "Dong's talent is very good, especially with the physical conditions that Oriental players lack, he has strength and speed, he can be described as explosive. ”
According to Ferguson, a bright path lies ahead of King Dong.
Ronan didn't stay in England long and soon returned to Los Angeles, but something was already in the works.
In London, Fleet Street is often the busiest time in the middle of the night, when news collected from all over the world is fed back in time, and then compiled and published, appearing in front of many British people the next day.
In an inconspicuous sports newspaper, the editor-in-chief trembled slightly, flipped through the photos and text materials, and asked, "Where did this come from?"
The editor-in-chief next to it said, "Courtesy of a freelance journalist. ”
"Big news!" the editor-in-chief looked at all the photos and said, "Explosive big news!"
The editor-in-chief asked tentatively, "Shall we say hello to the club in advance?"
Without hesitation, the editor-in-chief said, "Why greet them? Don't forget, how did that arrogant Portuguese hillbilly sarcastically mock us, and that damn oligarch would be grateful to us for that?"
He made a direct decision: "You wrote this news yourself!"
