"Luther, thank you really this time, but don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who turns his face and doesn't recognize people, I also said before about your arrangement, I hope you can become a player and first assistant coach, and assist Sacchi in managing the team. Again, I won't let you down when it comes to salary. ”

"Then I'll thank the boss. Gurlitt shrugged.

"Luther, my friends call me John, you can call me that, we can be friends in private, by the way, try this new red wine of this year's Kande winery, this year's Kanti is said to be the best quality ever, if you like, you can take a case to collect." Li Feng raised his wine glass and shook it lightly to Gullit.

For wine tasting, although Li Feng is not a professional, he slowly has some understanding of red wine, after all, this is also the need of European and American high society, under the teaching of Uncle Wang, the top private British butler, Li Feng can also pretend to be forced in front of ordinary people.

"Then you're welcome, I hope Chelsea is getting better and better, cheers!"

Gullit also felt that Li Feng was a good boss at this time, although his position as head coach was gone, but it seemed good to be the first assistant coach next to Sacchi, besides, he was also a team player.

Thinking of these moods completely calmed down, tasting the best red wine like Romanée Conti, looking at Li Feng's top-of-the-line luxury Boeing plane, and enjoying it.

That's right, Li Feng was already on the private jet at this time, and in order to show his sincerity, Li Feng was ready to invite him personally.

……

In Milan, Italy, after a three-hour flight, Li Feng's private jet arrived at the airport located in the urban area of Milan. When Li Feng and his entourage arrived, thanks to Li Feng's top users, there were already reception vehicles waiting.

When Li Feng and his entourage left the airport, they immediately got into the waiting convoy and headed towards the residence of Sacchi in Milan. In the 96-97 season, Sacchi coached AC Milan and is now living in Milan.

The mansions around Lake Como have been one of the most famous celebrity gathering places in Italy since ancient times, and Lake Como is known as the "most beautiful lake in Italy", and Saki's residence is also on the shores of the famous Lake Como, although it is not the most top-notch mansion, but it is not bad.

When Li Feng and his entourage, under the guidance of the team leader, arrived at Saki's villa, it was only the evening of the same day, and looking at the beautiful Lake Como and the reflected glow, Li Feng officially enjoyed the famous beauty of Lake Como.

Seeing the beautiful scenery of Lake Como, Li Feng couldn't help but think of those famous lake villas in the future, such as Gates's 'House of the Future', which seems to be on the other side of Lake Washington, and the scenery is very good.

Li Feng thought to himself, he is also a super-rich, and there are still too few luxury houses in the world to buy by himself, so it seems that he has to take some time to find them. This villa estate on the shores of Lake Como is a good example.

Thanks to the pseudo-fans of the previous life, the villa on the lake of Como originally started with the stars of the two major teams in Milan.

Anyway, most of the superstars of Milan's two giants live in mansions in Lake Como. From time to time in my previous life, I could hear about a certain star buying a villa in Lake Como or trading a villa or something.

……

Leaving Joseph and all the other security personnel and the reception staff arranged by Yuntong, Li Feng took Gullit and the two into a two-story villa covering an area of about 300 square meters with a small garden on the shore of Lake Como.

As soon as he approached the door, Li Feng saw a familiar face in his previous life appear in front of him, it was the iconic big bald head and smiling looking at Li Feng and Gullit.

"Arrigo, it's been a long time, it's been okay lately. Gullitt walked in that day, hugged Saki warmly, and then greeted with a smile.

"Not bad, Luther, welcome. Saki hugged Gurlit, and then spoke to him in English.

Obviously, Saki considered that Li Feng was beside him, so he greeted him in English. From this small detail, you can see how shrewd a person like Saki is.

"This is the business genius of the American imperialists, Mr. St. John Lee, John, it is a pleasure to meet you here, and welcome to Milan. After greeting Gullit, Saki looked at Li Feng and said with a smile.

"Hi Mr. Sachi, I'm St John Lee, the new owner of Chelsea in the Premier League, and a football fan, and your Italy is my favourite national team.

In '94, I went to the World Cup and watched all the matches in Italy's knockout stage, but unfortunately, it fell short at the last minute, which was regrettable, but it almost left me in tears. ”

……

"Yes, I didn't expect us to have such an opportunity, but it's a pity, I knew that John had such a business talent, I must have found a way to get acquainted with Mr. John, and maybe now I might have become a super-rich. Listening to Li Feng's words, Saki joked happily.

"Haha... Perhaps, who knows. The three of them laughed and walked into the villa, including Sachi's family, and they all gave a brief greeting.

"Mr. Sachi, a champion coach like you, I don't think there should be any invitations from the club, but please believe in my sincerity and passion for football.

I want to build Chelsea and make it one of the biggest clubs in Europe, it's not a matter of the moment, and I sincerely hope you can coach Chelsea. After some small talk, sipping coffee, Li Feng finally spoke directly.

"That's true, I have a lot of invitations from teams on my desk, and I haven't made a final decision yet, which is why I agreed to meet you. ”

"If that's the case, then I'll be honest and honest, for Chelsea, I have my own plan, I believe in professional things to professional people, so for the team, I also believe in one thing, and that is that the foundation of the team's development is based on the team's results.

When the team always wins the championship, then the rest of the team's development will go more and more smoothly, such as business development and so on.

I have a short-term three-year plan for Chelsea, for example in the first year I just want to make sure Chelsea can get into the Champions League and get to the knockout rounds.

At the beginning of the second season, I began to attack the championships, and after 2-3 years, I hope to become a long-term contender for the league title, if I can enter the top 8, 4 or something in the Champions League, or even the championship, it is naturally the best. But I want the team to play in the Champions League every year, which is the basis for adding to the team's heritage.

……

Of course, I also know that it requires a lot of quality in the squad, and Chelsea are clearly lacking at the moment, and I think Luther should be well aware of that.

Although Chelsea had a good result last year, it was only sixth, barely making it to Europe, but unfortunately not the Champions League. In the Premier League, Manchester United is the boss, Liverpool is starting to decline, and Arsenal is on the rise.

Including Chelsea, Leeds United and other teams, it is considered a second-tier team, but in fact, whether it is Chelsea or Leeds United, everyone is very clear about the team's operation.

Although the team looks good and can occasionally enter the Champions League, the previous owners are in debt, and since the Boseman Act, the value of players, salaries, etc. has been getting higher and higher, and these teams may not be able to afford those high player salaries in the future.

It may not be a few years before these teams that have risen suddenly will eventually collapse due to their financial problems.

The future of football is more and more showing a phenomenon, I call it the 'Golden Yuan Era', you have the money to hire a champion coach, buy superstars, and a strong team can be formed in a short period of time.

If you can have a continuous highlight performance, or even win a few weighty championships in a row, then a giant team will rise. At least so far, firstly, I am not short of wealth and have enough financial resources to ensure the development of Chelsea, and secondly, I am not rushing for quick results and have my own plans.

I think it's an opportunity for Chelsea, it's an opportunity for me, it's an opportunity for the people of the team, maybe when the team really rises to become a big club, the people of the team will become a meritorious member of the club's history.

I would like to invite Mr. Sacchi to coach Chelsea, I appreciate your zone defence and the ambiguity of future player positions, and I have pledged at least $100 million in transfer funds for the new season to strengthen the team as you envision. ”

……

"100 million US dollars?" Hearing Li Feng's final transfer funds, Saki couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"At least 100 million, with no upper limit. Li Feng replied affirmatively.
