Chapter 39: The Great Earthquake (I)
England is crazy!
Originally, Ai Huan's choice of Chelsea should only shake this club, but Ai Huan's name is too loud, so the whole English football world feels the arrival of this heavyweight.
In the middle of the night, all major portals reported on this heavyweight transfer, and Ai Huan's jaw-dropping value of 120 million has also become the focus of everyone's discussion.
Originally, Abu and the others were still a little worried about whether it would backfire on their spending money, after all, Ai Huan's reputation in England was still a bit unsatisfactory, but the actual situation was that the Chelsea fans had already spontaneously gathered outside the hotel where Ai Huan lived that night, and they even rushed to make various banners overnight, just to welcome the new king of Chelsea.
As Ellen Turrell wrote in his column, "120 million to buy a player is very expensive, so expensive that we wonder if the club is crazy, but when we see that the person who bought it is a fantasy, we don't think about it at all, and we can only feel great joy." He is the Serie A Golden Boot, two Bundesliga Golden Boots, two German Footballers, one Asian Footballer, Europe's best newcomer, two seasons of Europe's top scorer, two Champions Cup top scorers, two Champions Cup Golden Balls, and even broke the single-season goal record of European club competitions that has lasted for more than 30 years, and these are just statistics, and there are countless honors, Serie A champions, Bundesliga champions, Champions Cup champions, World Youth Champions, The Asian Cup winner, and some of them I can't remember because of the excitement, but what does that mean? It means that we have bought the title guarantee for 120 million, he is not a player, he is a leader of the era, he will make Chelsea the scariest team of this era. ”
Of course, not everyone was happy about this, after all, countless reporters and newspaper typographers were scolding and changing their masthead that night, and now Chelsea did it on purpose, they deliberately put the bombshell at the last minute, and they were going to work overtime immediately.
The headlines on the front pages of the newspapers varied from 'God to Stamford Bridge' or 'Here I am, I conquer' or, in Mourinho's words, 'Give me fantasy and I can conquer the world!' and of course the phrase 'Chelsea declare war on all of Europe, come if you don't accept it!' all of them were sensational headlines anyway.
But the content is much the same, most of them are quoting the words of Ai Huan at the press conference: "I don't know if I'm worth that much money, but I know that I'm not here for a vacation, all I want is a championship, and only keep moving forward can make me feel fresh, and that's what I'm going to do here." ”
"Of course I'm not the king of the ball, I'm just good at killing the game, and the king will always belong to the seniors I admire. ”
'I chose Chelsea because I felt their sincerity, something I didn't see in my dealings with other clubs, which is why I chose this in the end. Sincerity is not just about the transfer fee and salary, but also about the transformation of this team, and I see Chelsea's determination. ”
Of course, there are always two sides to things, when someone feels happy, someone will definitely feel unhappy, and the unhappy people still account for the vast majority, except for Chelsea's fans, almost all of England are questioning Ai Fan's worth, but no matter how you look at it, it's a bit that you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.
The theory of Ai Huan is a bit untenable, after all, he has done his best in the past few years, and he has done things too amazingly, which can only make people unable to criticize his ability, so some people have begun to say that Chelsea's squad has huge holes, after all, all the money they have spent this year has been put on the front players, and the back line that Chelsea really needs has not been supplemented.
However, as soon as this kind of remark was released, it was immediately refuted, and some people immediately pointed out: "With a player like Ai Huan, what steel backline is needed? Schalke's backline has gone from a group of unknown players to the main force of various national teams in two years, doesn't this explain the problem? He alone can pull all the attention in the front court, and what better defensive system can be needed? After all, there is only one football on the field. ”
Most of the clubs have chosen to remain silent on the matter, and they are reluctant to irritate their fans at this time, let alone say anything?
However, there are still people who express their thoughts about this, and the old man gave an interview: "Ai Huan is a good player, I always hoped that he could choose Manchester United as his target, but he missed it twice, but that doesn't mean anything, the Premier League is not like the Bundesliga, this is England, it is one of the best leagues in the Europa, here he will face a real challenge, I think soon he will understand that his choice is not so wise." ”
However, soon there was news that Ferguson made a big fuss about the board of directors as soon as he got the news, scolded a group of senior clubs, and asked the board to temporarily increase the transfer fee, according to his original words, "That damn Ai Phantom is not something that our current players can prevent, I need a stronger squad." But at the same time, he also expressed another point of view to those around him: "It's good that he didn't choose Manchester City, otherwise we would have been under more pressure." ”
And the most deceived of this one is the Manchester City fans, they thought that Ai Huan's entry into Manchester City was a sure thing, who knew that everything would change after only one day?
However, it was immediately suggested that Ai Huan had always resolutely fought back against provocations, and this argument was afraid that it would bring unexpected disasters to Manchester City, and the extreme fan immediately lost his voice.
Interestingly, most of the players were reluctant to say anything about the matter, and even many at Chelsea were reluctant to say more, especially Frank Lampard, who had cut ties with the country before the incident and seemed to have disappeared.
