Chapter 484: Transfer Rumors
The day after the match against Chelsea, Michael Baker, as Yang Fan's agent, received a Chelsea netbsp; say
Gilley succeeded Peter Kenyon as Chelsea's executive in the second half of 2oo9.
In 2oo4, Kenyon was poached from Manchester United to Chelsea by Abu, which caused a huge controversy. In the five and a half years since, Chelsea have not only won the English Championship twice, but also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League five times, making them the most successful club in Europe. Under Kenyon's management, Chelsea signed huge sponsorship deals with Samsung and Adidas. However, the scandal of private transactions and the unfavourable youth training also became the crimes before Kenyon, and the subsequent "child seduction case" pushed the Blues to the forefront. Kenyon announced his departure at the end of 2oo9 and Gilley took over as Chelsea's executive officer.
Chelsea have yet to make much of a move in bringing in players since Gilley became Chelsea's chief executive, and Chelsea's inability to make a decisive breakthrough in the Champions League has put pressure on him.
At this time, after the club owner finally made up his mind to invite Yang Fan again, the most excited person was the Blue Executive, who knew exactly what a new start to a great era for Blue Chelsea would mean once Yang Fan could join Chelsea.
Michael Baker and Gilley also dealt with each other, and it was in the summer that Ballack and Chelsea parted peacefully, and it was Baker and Gilley who had talks and communication at that time.
This time, he spoke to the Blues executive again and he was offered a very tempting plan to bring Yang Fan to Chelsea.
To be honest, Baker was tempted by Gilley's proposal. He knows how much profit Yang Fan will bring to him and Yang Fan himself if he moves to Chelsea. Yang Fan's current salary at Manchester City is 400,000 pounds per week, and it is conceivable that if Chelsea really wants to poach Yang Fan in the past, the salary will only be higher and not lower, although Yang Fan's current salary is already the highest salary in football. In addition, in addition to the high transfer fees and signing fees, in Baker's view, Chelsea are now an absolute giant, which is incomparable to Manchester City, a giant under construction.
However, the problem is that Baker clearly knows that Yang Fan will not leave Manchester City now, and he clearly knows Yang Fan's plans at Manchester City, or ambitions, the 22-year-old Chinese star is eager to create a dynasty at Manchester City and personally lead Manchester City to grow into a giant!
This is Yang Fan's ambition and dream at Manchester City.
Before this dream is realized, if there are no major accidents, Yang Fan will not choose to leave Manchester City. Baker was aware of this.
But Baker didn't want to turn down Chelsea's offer so simply, and he told them that he would talk to Yang Fan about it.
Although Baker knows that the possibility of Yang Fan agreeing to the transfer is very low, but he still plans to give it a try, besides, he doesn't want to reject Chelsea, but also considers more reasons, Baker still hopes to leave a way back, even if it doesn't work now, it won't be possible in the future. Who knows what the future holds?
On the other end of the phone, Gilley was still satisfied with Beck's reply, in his opinion, as long as it was not a rejection, it meant that there was a show, at least the door was not closed directly.
This matter is very important, Michael Baker did not choose to communicate with Yang Fan on the phone, but came directly to Manchester to discuss the matter with Yang Fan.
'I think Chelsea are still very sincere. Baker said after relaying the invitation from Chelsea to Yang Fan.
"But the problem is that I haven't even thought about transferring. Yang Fan replied.
"Yang, I still say the same thing, no matter what decision you make, I support it. Baker first expressed his attitude, he didn't want to contradict Yang Fansheng, now Yang Fan is a cash cow, and no matter how awesome the agent is, he doesn't dare to pose in front of Yang Fan.
"Don't worry, Michael, I didn't think much of it, we've been working together very well, and I know you've always done things with me in mind. Yang Fan said, knowing what Baker was worried about.
Hearing Yang Fan say this, Baker was relieved, "I'll still talk about my opinion, it's just an opinion." ”
"You say. ”
'I've always thought Chelsea have a bigger picture than Manchester City. Baker said, "Let's put it this way, Chelsea are giants, but there is still a piece of the puzzle that needs to be completed and created!"
"You're talking about the Champions League winners. Yang Fan said.
"That's right," Baker clapped his hands, "without the Champions League, Chelsea wouldn't really be a big club, you see, if you can go to Chelsea and lead Chelsea to the top of Europe, it's kind of like leading a team to become a big club, and it's easier than at Manchester City." ”
"I'm not afraid of difficulties. Yang Fan smiled, "Moreover, isn't the success in Manchester City more enjoyable and convincing?"
"But"
"Don't be, Michael. Yang Fan waved his hand resolutely, "When I came to Manchester City, I said that I wanted to succeed here, and I am not the kind of person who says and does not do." ”
Baker sighed inwardly, he knew it would be this outcome.
"Well, I'll say no to Chelsea for you. Baker said with some regret.
"Yes. Help me refuse. Yang Fan nodded.
Baker then spoke to Chelsea and told Blues executive Gilley that Yang Fan was happy and satisfied with the current situation at Manchester City and did not want to go anywhere.
"That's a pity. Gilley said that he was not a polite remark, he was really sorry, and he was really eager to complete the acquisition, and if it could be done, it would be the most memorable acquisition in Chelsea's history, which is a shame.
"No one can say what will happen in the future, maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Baker said with a.
"I hope so. "However, we will not give up, and I always believe that a star of Yang Fan's level can only truly realize his great value at Chelsea." ”
Baker laughed at Gilley's words and didn't say anything, he had already refused, and he couldn't care if there were any other moves on Chelsea's side.
Subsequently, Chelsea executive Mr. Gilley informed the club owner Abramovich of the progress of the matter, Abramovich also regretted Yang Fan's refusal, or it can be said that he was a little angry, Abu waved a check book in the transfer market has always been invincible, of course he knows that it will be quite difficult to operate Yang Fan's transfer, not to mention, Yang Fan's value is crazy, however, Abramovich still decided to introduce Yang Fan, which shows Abramovich's determination, in this case, Yang Fan's refusal not only did not make Abramovich stop, but aroused the fighting spirit of the Russian tycoon, he really decided to do whatever it took to bring Yang Fan to Chelsea.
At this time, Abramovich's resentment towards Scolari has reached a higher level, Chelsea once had a good opportunity to introduce Yang Fan, just because Scolari was bent on introducing Robinho, and turned a blind eye to Yang Fan, which led to Chelsea and Yang Fan passing by, and after missing that opportunity, it would become so difficult for Chelsea to introduce Yang Fan.
Abramovich really didn't give up.
This brings us to the news that followed by The Sun.
Chelsea want to buy Manchester City captain Yang Fan!
Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich has been full of public praise for Yang Fan's performance, calling him a player who can change the outcome of a game on his own and saying that Chelsea's doors are open to Yang Fan.
And Chelsea captain John Terry also stood up to speak at this time, he praised Yang Fan, and said in a joking tone that every time he played with Yang Fan as an opponent, he would have a headache, and now the best solution is to turn the opponent into a teammate
John Terry is one of the top defenders in football today, he is the captain of Chelsea, he is the banner of Chelsea, and his words are almost equivalent to publicly expressing his welcome to Yang Fan on behalf of the whole Chelsea team.
And Chelsea's vice-president Frank Lampard also publicly expressed his appreciation for Yang Fan...... There is no doubt that Yang Fan is one of the best players in football today, and any team with Yang Fan will be even better. Chelsea are no exception.
Chelsea's owners and players have stood up and thrown an olive branch to Yang Fan, so what is the attitude of Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti?
"Yang Fan? He's a Manchester City player now. "However, for any coach, being able to coach Yang Fan is a dream thing. ”
Now it's okay, the owner of Chelsea, the team's vice captain, and the team's head coach will all show favor to Yang Fan, and for a while, the media is full of news about Chelsea introducing Yang Fan.
Some media have even reported that Chelsea has decided how much to pay for the transfer fee, and will give Yang Fan a lucrative contract that is more lucrative than Manchester City, anyway, in a word, Chelsea vows to get Yang Fan.
For the media hype, Manchester City Club responded immediately, they said that Yang Fan is not for sale of the team, and warned that any team that covets Yang Fan can die, and Manchester City will not sell the captain of the team.
A day later, in the fourth round of the English League Cup, Manchester City beat Sunderland 1-0 at home, and it was Dzeko who scored for Manchester City. Yang Fan sends a through ball, Wright. Phillips burst into the box with a solo effort and his shot was saved by the Sunderland goalkeeper, Yaya Toure slotted the ball across the box in time for Dzeko to score with ease.
The headline of the Manchester City Evening News was: Dzeko!
Some mainstream media in Europe have also begun to pay attention to Dzeko's excellent performance at Manchester City, after joining Manchester City, before Tevez's injury, Dzeko was more on the bench and did not get more playing time, but when Tevez was injured and absent, Bosnia and Negro immediately seized the opportunity.
Three days later, in the tenth round of the league, Manchester City's away match against Wolves, because it was a match with Real Madrid in the middle of next week, and Wolves were weak, so the team's lineup was rotated, and many of the main players were rested. Yang Fan was also rested in the game, only coming on as a substitute in the second half, but his performance could only be said to be average and he was not able to score.
After 90 minutes of play, the English football world was excited to talk about one thing: Manchester City had finally lost!
Obviously, Mancini's rotation was unsuccessful, and in this game, Manchester City lost 2-1 away to Wolves, and after nine consecutive wins, the team finally lost, losing to an opponent that no one expected, and against Chelsea and Arsenal and Liverpool, Manchester City did not lose, however, fell at the feet of Wolves.
At this moment, the media has something to say, they have something to say about Yang Fan's substitution and not being able to turn the tide for Manchester City, in the description of the media, this is because of deep transfer rumors, which makes Yang Fan a little absent-minded, in the media reports, this seems to have become a proof that Yang Fan is excited about the invitation from Chelsea.
Yang Fan and Manchester City didn't even have time to savor the bitter defeat and ignore the media speculation, so they had to focus all their attention on the next big showdown with Real Madrid.
In the match between the two legs, Manchester City lost away to Real Madrid, which made Real Madrid fans very proud, and before the game, Madrid fans and the media began to make noise.
A Spanish reporter tried to interview Yang Fan, but Yang Fan refused all requests for an interview.
This scene fell into the eyes of Real Mader's fans, and they immediately thought that Yang Fan was timid and afraid, so he kept his mouth shut.
Many Real Madrid fans laughed at Yang Fan.
And the media in Madrid also added fuel to the fire, and they all said that Yang Fan's silence was because he was afraid of Real Madrid, so he chose to remain silent.
And so forth and so on. In fact, if you analyze carefully, you will feel that the media's views are very nonsense, why is Yang Fan weak-hearted? Why is Yang Fan afraid of Manchester City? In the last game, Manchester City lost to Real Madrid away, yes, Manchester City lost, but Yang Fan's two goals made the Bernabeu fall into panic for a while, and finally Real Madrid won with a controversial goal, in this case, I really don't know where the fans of Real Madrid and the media in Madrid saw that Yang Fan was afraid of Real Madrid.
The Madrid media said that Yang Fan was afraid, and the English media said that Yang Fan was considering Chelsea's invitation and had no time to respond.
Anyway, it's a lot of talk right now.
