After Lin Cheng came to London, he did not have the first contact with the head coach and players of Chelsea FC.

In fact, Chelsea's head coach Vialli has just terminated his contract with the club after the end of the 99-00 season, and now Chelsea has no leader and no new manager has taken office.

In the past 99-00 season, Chelsea reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League and played two shocking matches against traditional giants Barcelona.

In the first leg at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea was a big upset, defeating Barcelona 3:1, but just when everyone thought that Chelsea would enter the Champions League semi-finals in history, Chelsea lost 1:5 away.

Back to the league, although Chelsea has always been a ruthless stubble, once beat Manchester United 5:0, but the problem of not being weak and not being weak made the car pay a heavy price, and the league only ranked fifth and missed the Champions League next season.

Lin Cheng's takeover of the car in 2000 was obviously not a good time, and there was no Champions League ticket, which made the car dig up stars with half the effort, even if it cost a bigger price, it may not be able to buy big stars.

The stars of this era are still relatively simple, especially the stars of the giants, who pay attention to the team for a lifetime, such as Roma's Totti, Manchester United's Ryan Giggs, Scholes, Juventus's Piero, Milan's Maldini, Inter Milan's Zanetti, etc., these giant stars are all rich and can't be dug up.

Later, when Abu took charge of Stamford Bridge, even if the car at that time had a Champions League ticket, he was repeatedly frustrated when buying a first-line star, and was often rejected by the big star.

Mourinho can only do what he counts, buying Carvalho, Ferreira, Thiago, Drogba, Kezman, Essien, Wright Phillips and a number of other stars in Europe who can only be said to be second-tier.

These second-tier stars, who can really play the super first-line, only one Drogba, Carvalho and Essien can also become the core of the team's midfield, and other players can only play soy sauce at most.

It wasn't until the car won the championship year after year and repeatedly reached the Champions League semi-finals that the big stars really recognized the appeal of the car, and Shevchenko, Ballack, Torres, Eto'o and other super first-line stars continued to enter Stamford Bridge.

The car in 2000 had the strength, but the unstable state made the car only become a-stirring stick in the league, and there was still a big gap in strength with the Premier League squad Manchester United and the Gunners Arsenal.

Even after 20 years, Lin Cheng can still read out the star lineup of Manchester United and Arsenal proficiently: Manchester United's Black Wind Twins, Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Keane, Scholes, Neville Brothers, Stam, super substitutes Sheringham, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Arsenal's Thierry, Bergkamp, Pires, Ljungberg, Zeon, Adams, Seaman, Pettit, Ashley Cole, etc.

Lin Cheng only remembers an Italian golden left-footed Zola, and it seems that there is also a tall Norwegian center forward Flo, the two form a high and fast forward combination, and even Barcelona has suffered from the two, and the other players don't know.

Lin Cheng felt that it was really not a good time to buy a car at this time, and the car at this time was just a-stirring stick, which had no attraction to the stars.

Stars such as Ruud Gullit, Versulli, and Zola came to the car when they were over 30 years old, which deepened the impression of the car on the outside side.

It's just that no matter what, the car is already a team in his own hands, the son is not ugly, the dog is not poor, Lin Cheng can only regard the car as his home team, and work hard and struggle to build the car into a wealthy team.

……

At 3pm on Friday 14 July, the press conference hall at Stamford Bridge was packed with journalists and representatives of the Chelsea fan community.

The news that Lin Cheng, the world's richest man, has become the new owner of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge has strongly shaken the entire British football world.

Back in 2003, when Abbu took charge of Chelsea, the world of football was overshadowed by the news of David Beckham's move from Manchester United to Real Madrid.

But it turns out that the most influential big news in 2003 was Abu's entry into Chelsea, which profoundly affected world football for at least five years, causing the originally quiet transfer market to surge, and the transfer prices of many stars were raised by Chelsea.

When Lin Cheng and former Chelsea chairman Bates walked into the press conference hall hand in hand, there was a cacophony of boos in the hall.

As mentioned above, the British are notoriously stubborn and conservative, and their pride in being the first in the world has penetrated into their bones, even though the England team has not been involved in the World Cup for 34 years since 1966, but they hold themselves as the originators of modern football, and every time they go to the World Cup, they still regard themselves as the favorites of the World Cup, and do not take other teams into account.

In the original time and space, until 2017, the England team was not to mention the World Cup champions, and even the World Cup semi-finals were extravagant hopes.

Not to mention England's sworn enemies Germany and Argentina, even China on the other side of the ocean has joined the ranks of ridiculing England, and compared the England team to the European Chinese team, which shows how disappointing the England team is.

In the boos, Lin Cheng and Bates hastily completed the signing ceremony, Bates originally wanted to say something to reporters and fans, but before he could move his mouth, he was bombarded off the stage by the increasingly aggravated boos from the audience.

Yes, reporters and fans are very dissatisfied with Bates, it is understandable that you want to sell Chelsea to make money, after all, although Chelsea is not strong, but the expenses and wages are comparable to Manchester United and Arsenal, the team can't make money for Bates, you can sell it if you want to.

But you shouldn't have sold Chelsea to the Chinese from the football desert, how can they accept this?!

When it was Lin Cheng's turn to speak, the boos did not stop, but intensified, Lin Cheng's face sank, and he shouted: "Enough! Shut up all of them, everyone listens to me obediently, whoever dares to make noise again, just blast him out for me!"

Lin Cheng's acquisition of Chelsea was to wreak havoc in European football, but it was not to bow low and be small to please the media and fans, so Lin Cheng was not polite to the reporters and fans present, and directly threatened to kick them out if anyone dared to beep again.

When the words fell, the media and reporters exploded one after another, just a Chinese, even if he is the richest man in the world, but in the field of football, what is he? Dare to tell us to shut up, is it tolerable!

Journalists and fans were bombarded one after another.

"Arrogant! You come from China, which is a football desert, and you don't know anything about football, so what qualifications do you have to tell us to shut up?!"

"Do you think that by becoming the owner of Chelsea, you can do something to us?

"Who do you think you are? A Chinese, have you forgotten the Opium War?"

'Chelsea are a 95-year-old Premier League team and her honour cannot be tarnished!'

"Go back to China, English football, no need for nouveau riche!"

"What is the richest man in the world? Have you ever heard of a consortium? Compared to a consortium, you are a poor man!"

"You are too arrogant, Chinese!"

"Aren't all Chinese humble as a traditional virtue? I'm sorry, I don't see that in you!"

The crazy diss of reporters and fans were like a raging storm, all of which were thrown at Lin Cheng.
