Chapter 144: The Return of the Myth (6)
As the first in line to the Nelson family, George single-handedly built an estate worth tens of billions of dollars without the support of his family, and there have always been many people who want to benefit from him.

Although Abu's motives were not pure, George did not reject this exchange of interests. If Abu had helped this time without any demands, it would have aroused George's greater suspicion - after all, this is the way the upstream society behaves, and the exchange of interests is the main theme of this circle.
Since the other party has this need, and the Russians do not like to break the rules like those Arab conglomerates later, and they also have a lot of personal friendships with themselves, then George is naturally happy to help Abu and give the other party a chance to contact the upper reaches of British society.
Although George was once rejected by the British aristocracy because of his early deviance (i.e., a career in football coaching), as the future patriarch of the Nelson family and the current Viscount Coschelt, George's thriving career has long been re-accepted into this circle and is more valued than before. Therefore, giving Abu a chance to get in touch with the British upper class is just a gesture for the current George.
Although in the eyes of most people, these hereditary aristocrats in Britain are too conservative in their actions and cannot keep up with the trend of the times, and most of them sit on the inheritance left by their ancestors, but they are not stupid, since George has become the richest man in Britain, then why do they have to get along with each other?
Of course, Mourinho, who has just become the head coach of Chelsea and is preparing to show his strengths, is naturally quite dissatisfied with Abu's order. However, after learning that it was Tottenham's request, the Portuguese madman did not say anything more - although he did not know about the private deal between Abou and George, Mourinho also knew how much Chelsea had been able to snatch Ibrahimovic from a single vote contender, and Tottenham or George Nelson had played a huge role in this!
Therefore, as a return to Ibrahimovic's favor, Chelsea should also take the initiative to back down on Robben's transfer. Not to mention, when Mourinho was dissatisfied with the original main goalkeeper Cudicini, it was George who took the initiative to recommend the Russian genius goalkeeper Akinfeev to Abu to help Chelsea resolve the goalkeeper crisis.
Although Mourinho has always presented himself as a madman, the Portuguese are not really arrogant enough to think they are invincible. Therefore, for this transaction between the boss and his younger brother (Mourinho and George both used to study under Robson Sr.), Mourinho chose to remain silent after weighing it and acquiesced to the reality of losing Robben. Because Mourinho believes that even without Robben, he can build Chelsea into the best team in Europe!
Just when George and Abu secretly completed an exchange of interests and teamed up to pit the Eindhoven club that was kept in the dark, another game of the European Cup semifinals has also come to an end - at the Fire Dragon Stadium in Porto, Greece, the biggest dark horse in this European Cup, after a hard battle, defeated the Czech team led by Nedved, Rosicky, Cech and other stars with a "silver goal" scored by his central defender Derras in the last minute of the first half of extra time, and reached the European Cup final for the first time in history!
The exit of the Bohemian Iron Rider has saddened countless fans who love the Czech Republic. Because they know very well in their hearts that, like the orange team that has bid farewell to the European Cup, many stars in the current Czech team, such as Nedved, Poboski, Smitchell, Galasek and others, will no longer appear on the stage of the European Cup!
I have to say that the Czech Republic can really be called the saddest team in the European Cup. In England's European Championship eight years ago, the prosperous Nedved and Poboski led the Czech Republic to the final as dark horses, but in the final, they once led the "golden head" Bierhoff in extra time to score the first golden goal in the history of the European Championship "sudden death", and unfortunately missed the championship trophy. And now, eight years later, at the European Championship in Portugal, the Czech Republic, who are considered the favourites to win the tournament, fell to extra-time again - this time, killing them with the only "silver ball" in the history of the European Championship! )
After being beaten by the first golden ball and the first silver ball in the history of the European Cup, resulting in missing the final championship trophy, the Czech Republic's pathos is enough to make any fan sigh!
Although the Czech Republic's exit in the semi-finals came as a surprise to many fans and pundits, and they lamented that the team always fell on the new system of extra time, at this moment, most people's eyes are still focused on the Greek team that successfully met Portugal in the final!
After all, before this, almost no one could have predicted that this team, which had not won a game in the international competition, would be able to defeat Portugal, France, the Czech Republic and many other strong opponents, all the way to the final, and compete with the host Portugal team for the Delaunay Cup that made countless players hot!
What makes the media and experts feel even more shocked is that the reason why Greece was able to reach the final of the European Championship was not because of the sudden emergence of a world-class superstar in their team, but because they really relied on strict and orderly team tactics and running at any cost, which allowed them to defeat a series of strong opponents on the field and become the biggest dark horse in the history of this European Cup, no, it should be said that it is the biggest dark horse in the history of the European Cup!
You know, the biggest stars in the Greek team are none other than Caragonnis who plays for Inter Milan and Charleste Steas of Werder Bremen. But the duo are no more than rotation players at their respective clubs, and they are not first-line stars at all, let alone credit Greece for reaching the European Championship final.
As a result, the media, which had no choice but to focus its propaganda on Greek coach Rehhagel. At least, the legendary coach who has coached many strong teams such as Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich, and created the "Kaiserslautern miracle" in the Bundesliga in the 98-99 season, is obviously more worthy of publicity than those Greek players who can be said to be.
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Unlike the media and fans, Greece's outstanding performance in this European Championship and Rehhagel's various arrangements have opened a new door for managers who are interested in studying. That is, as long as the tactics are arranged properly, then even if you don't rely on a certain star with excellent strength, you can lead the team to achieve the desired results!
In this way, as Greece advanced to the final of the European Championship, a storm of tactical reform began to brew quietly on the Iberian Peninsula!
