Chapter 363: Money Is Not an Issue
Ronaldinho joins Chelsea!
With the announcement of the front page headline of the French team newspaper, it immediately detonated the entire European and even world football. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The talent, who has been linked with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona after Cristiano Ronaldo, was suddenly caught off guard by a move to Chelsea.
However, the team newspaper announced with certainty that "Ronaldinho has signed his name on his Chelsea contract." ”
At the same time, the team newspaper also announced the details of the contract, with a transfer fee of up to 32 million euros, a five-year contract, and a weekly salary of 100,000 euros.
According to credible information obtained by journalists, Manchester United tried to redeem it at the last minute, offering a more lucrative package than this contract, hoping to bring back Ronaldinho, but in the end the Brazilian chose Chelsea. ”
Ronaldinho's agent Assis said in an interview with this reporter that they were once very close to Manchester United, and even almost reached an agreement, but Manchester United suddenly announced the suspension of negotiations, and did not give a reasonable explanation from beginning to end, which made them feel very incomprehensible and felt that Manchester United lacked sincerity. ”
Completely contrary to Manchester United, Gao Han and Chelsea's sincerity moved Ronaldinho, Gao Han not only called Ronaldinho many times, but even flew to Paris to meet with the Brazilian, explaining his entire tactical thinking in the new season, and clarifying the tactical position of Brazilians at Chelsea. ”
Assis said that it was precisely because of this in-depth discussion with Gao Han that Ronaldinho was convinced of his future prospects at Chelsea, and his best friend Kaka also gave Gao Han a very high evaluation, which made Ronaldinho finally choose Chelsea. ”
Not only that, but the newspaper also spoke to an anonymous senior PSG who was directly involved in the transfer negotiations, who was also very positive about Chelsea's sincerity: "Manchester United failed because they were overconfident. ”
'From start to finish, only two teams, Manchester United and Real Madrid, have been in contact with us, but the latter withdrew early and their proposal was rejected by us, so we have been negotiating with Manchester United and it is going well. ”
'However, when we settled our differences, United learned of our debt problems and knew that we were in dire need of a large sum of money, so they suspended the transfer talks in the hope of taking the opportunity to lower the price because they saw themselves as the only buyers in the transfer market and were in a position to be in the negotiations. ”
"But as it turns out, that's not the case!"
'Chelsea's offer was more genuine than Manchester United, they understood our difficulties and promised to pay a large amount of cash in advance, which will help us get through the storm and better prepare for the new season. ”
'At the end of the day, United did try to make amends, but the way they did it was to send us an ultimatum with harsh wording warning that we couldn't sell Ronaldinho to Chelsea, but we couldn't accept it. ”
"It also turned out that Manchester United eventually raised the offer and the package, and in the end it did not stop Ronaldinho from joining Chelsea. ”
"Looking at the whole transfer process, I think the most important thing for Manchester United to reflect on is their own negotiations. ”
'There's no doubt that Manchester United have been the best team in Europe over the years, the healthiest and the biggest attraction for the players, but that doesn't mean they won't miss out or that we all have to listen to them. ”
"This transfer is the best proof of this!"
……
With the French team newspaper publishing this exciting news, soon, the media of the entire European football world also followed suit, especially the British media, which was like a holiday, frantically reporting on this matter.
Ronaldinho's arrival at Chelsea will undoubtedly bring huge attention to the new Premier League season.
But there are also many people who deny and are skeptical of this transfer.
Manchester United captain Roy Keane said in an interview with the media: "No player in this world would refuse Manchester United, only crazy people would join Chelsea for money!"
Ronaldinho will soon realise that he had made a stupid decision. ”
Former Brazil national team coach Scolari also spoke to the media in Portugal, "If I can sway his opinion, I want him to go to La Liga, even if it is another year, to join Real Madrid, he is more suitable there, going to the Premier League will definitely affect his future in the national team." ”
But no amount of controversy has been able to stop the media's enthusiasm for Ronaldinho.
On the morning of the joining ceremony, Ronaldinho, accompanied by his agent's brother Robert Assi, and his lawyer, appeared at the London airport, and then went directly to the hospital for a medical examination, and the results showed that everything was normal.
Upon their return to Stamford Bridge, the trio met with Chelsea's management and signed a formal contract.
More than 100 media reporters witnessed the whole process and participated in the fan joining ceremony.
In total, more than 25,000 Chelsea fans attended Ronaldinho's joining ceremony at Stamford Bridge.
Head coach Gao Han and the team's captain John Terry also attended the joining ceremony and delivered speeches.
It was also the first time since taking over as Chelsea manager that Gao Han appeared at Stamford Bridge in front of Blues fans.
As soon as he appeared, he was immediately cheered on by all the Chelsea fans in the stadium and enjoyed overwhelming applause, making everyone feel his popularity in the minds of Chelsea fans.
'It's a very proud day for me since I took charge of Chelsea because we managed to bring Ronaldinho to the team. ”
"There's no doubt that he's a very well-rounded player, he's fast, he's got a lot of technique, he's got a lot of running, he's got almost everything a top superstar should have, and I have no doubt he's going to be the best superstar on the planet. ”
Gao Han's words once again won the cheers and applause of more than 25,000 fans in the audience.
"The arrival of Ronaldinho is very important for us, it represents his affirmation of us and strengthens our determination to continue to take the technical route, and he will be the soul of our attack. ”
"I am confident that he knows his mission and that he will not let us down. ”
After Gao Han's speech, Ronaldinho stepped forward from behind, and the scene of him and Gao Han hugging cordially on the stage made all the fans in the audience cheer again.
"Thank you very much Mr. Gao Han for your appreciation of me, today is the most exciting day of my life. ”
"My good friend Kaka in the Brazilian national team often talks to me about their Atletico Madrid, I am very envious because they have done a great miracle as a team, and I have great respect for Mr. Gao Han, who was a key factor in my decision to come here and I am very much looking forward to working with him. ”
'I know, there are a lot of rumours out there about me, but I want to say that I didn't come here for money, if it was for money, then I would have chosen to go to another team, but I didn't. ”
'I chose Chelsea because I believe that under Mr. Gao Han's leadership we can do miracles again, and I also believe that Mr. Gao Han has the ability to help me achieve my goals and achieve my aspirations, which excites me more than making money. ”
'Thank you so much to all the fans and friends who are here today, I feel your love for this team and I promise that I will do everything I can to bring happiness to everyone and every Chelsea fan!'
The whole huge press conference finally ended with warm applause and cheers from the fans.
Everyone in the team was very satisfied with this, especially Abramovich, who came to the scene in person, was even more excited, and he couldn't stop thanking Gao Han.
He is well aware that Chelsea were able to attract Ronaldinho solely because of Gao Han's personal charm.
In other words, the Brazilian joined Chelsea because he believed in the cold.
This also made Abramovich admire his decision to choose Gao Han as the team's head coach in the first place.
Moreover, throughout the past period of time, after Gao Han took over the team, with the assistance of Jorge Mendes, the operation of transfers was very efficient, and high-level players were one after another, although a lot of money was spent, but the strength level of the team also increased, which made Abramovich very satisfied and full of confidence in the future of the team.
Even, after the press conference, in an interview with a reporter from the British Times, Abramovich smiled and once again reiterated his unconditional support for Gao Han.
"I'm very satisfied with the current situation of the team, as for the recruitment, I don't understand, but I just told Gao Han that as long as he thinks there is a need, although he lets it go, money is not a problem. ”
The personal statement from Abramovich once again shocked the entire European football world.
Including Ronaldinho, Chelsea have already spent more than 150 million euros, and it is surprising that they are planning to invest more.
In an interview with the British Mirror, Gao Han also said, "I am very satisfied with the current squad of the team, but we are not perfect, and I will continue to seriously consider players in the transfer market." ”
This has also been interpreted by the media as Chelsea will continue to add new signings.
Hearing the news, there is no one more excited than the British media reporters.

While Chelsea welcomed Ronaldinho to the club at Stamford Bridge in London, Ferguson was licking his wounds gloomily at Carrington in Manchester.
He had just lashed out at the management and scolded them.
Because if it weren't for their clumsy negotiation skills, Ronaldinho would have belonged to Manchester United long ago.
But now that the Brazilian and Arjen Robben have both gone to Chelsea, this is a big blow to Manchester United's transfer plans.
Selling Beckham and selling Veron in exchange for more than 50 million euros in transfer fees, but now they can't spend what they want.
Damn Chelsea!
Ferguson was so depressed that he had the urge to go berserk, and he really wanted to go to London and have a good theory with Gao Han.
But in the end, he quickly forced himself to calm down.
"Martin, call Blackburn and say we're willing to talk to them about Duff's transfer. Ferguson said in a deep voice.
Martin Ferguson didn't dare to slack off and immediately went outside to make a phone call.
But soon, he walked back again.
"The latest news, Chelsea officially asked Duff for the price, and Blackburn made it clear that the previous asking price is void!"
When Ferguson heard this, he trembled with anger and his face turned red, which was very scary. (To be continued.) )
