Canary Wharf, London.

After three years of waiting, Abramovich's long-awaited super-luxury yacht Eclipse was finally built and delivered from the shipyard in Hamburg, Germany, to Canary Wharf in London just before the New Year.

The 170-metre-long luxury yacht cost 400 million euros, making it the largest yacht in the world.

It is not just a luxury yacht, but also a mobile fortress on the sea, equipped with two helipads, three launch slides, a number of small speedboats, the rear half of the yacht is also equipped with a submarine and submarine cabin, and the security facilities are also very tight, equipped with anti-missile systems, bulletproof glass and motion sensors.

This freshly baked world-class yacht, docked at Canary Wharf, seems to stand out from the crowd, attracting the attention of countless passers-by and even the whole of London, and media reporters are also vying to report on it.

In order to celebrate the receipt of this world's first New Year's gift, Abramovich decided to organize a lavish New Year's party on the Caribbean island of Toba Telemy, which will invite more than 250 distinguished guests, including Jude Law and other well-known European and American superstars and celebrities, as well as Abramovich's business partners.

The media broke the news that the party alone will cost 2 million pounds, the cabaret performance will also cost 1.5 million pounds, and all the guests will be transported by private jets, and the entire party will cost an astronomical amount.

But while Abramovich was splurging in the Caribbean, Chelsea in London was in such a quandary that even Martin Samuel, a columnist who is usually close to Chelsea, lamented helplessness in his column.

"Perhaps, Roman Abramovich really isn't thinking about shelling out for Chelsea in the transfer market this winter. ”

Chelsea officials have been tight-lipped about this, but there has been a lot of news from outside.

Speaking to the media on Christmas Day, Chelsea manager Luz Scolari reluctantly stated that the team would not bring in reinforcements during the winter break: "What I said is true, really, we certainly won't sign players this winter, and if I break my promise, I'm willing to run naked at Stamford Bridge." ”

Scolari's remarks immediately appeared in the major newspapers, and were seen as an indirect protest by the Brazilian boss to the Chelsea management and express his dissatisfaction with the operation of the team.

After 26 days of league play, Didier Drogba, Essien, Kalou and Mikel will all return to Africa for the national team's training camp in preparation for the Africa Cup of Nations, and will be sidelined until at least late January, during which Chelsea's personnel in the forward line and midfield can be described as stretched.

After Drogba and Kalou, Chelsea's attacking players are only Anelka, Malouda, Robinho and Arshavin, Scolari originally planned to use Anelka as a lone striker, but on Christmas Day, Chelsea's team doctor announced that Anelka has a muscle problem and will miss the Christmas schedule, and the return time may even be until mid-January at the latest.

This is undoubtedly worse for Chelsea.

In terms of midfield, Ballack is old and no longer trusted by Scolari, but now he has transferred the two main midfielders of Essien and Mikel to return to China in one go, which makes Chelsea's midfield how to arrange?

Scolari's complaints have also received sympathy from the media, as Chelsea are arguably the most affected and worst Premier League powerhouse affected by the Africa Cup of Nations, and almost all of them are regular players.

On the contrary, like Arsenal, there is only one Alexander Song, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool have no AFCA players.

In contrast, Scolari's team was stripped of three main players, which undoubtedly made Chelsea's already problematic situation even worse, and Scolari's complaints were justified.

…………

…………

Abramovich sat on the top deck of the Eclipse, flipping through the news from the major British newspapers.

He saw what Scolari said in an interview, he noticed Anelka's injury and a lot of comments in the British press, and he felt he should do something about it.

Toba Telemye Island is the top place for luxury parties held by the European and American high society, Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft, has always been a frequent guest here, and the world celebrities such as Hollywood director Spielberg also often appear here, which can be called an excellent place to break into the European and American high society.

Abramovich came to England with only one purpose, that is, to break into the upper class of Europe and the United States and become a part of it.

It's only now that he's been waiting for such an opportunity, and he doesn't want to be affected by what is going on at Chelsea.

He knew very well that among the two or three hundred VIPs he invited, fans accounted for the majority of them, and when they arrived on the island, football must be an essential topic, and even they arranged an important program to broadcast Premier League matches in the open air in the open area of the island.

Abramovich doesn't want the opportunity he has been waiting for years to slip under his nose.

Just as the Russians closed their eyes in contemplation, there was a sound on the stairs outside the deck.

Abramovich didn't even raise his eyelids to know who was coming.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" asked Granovskia politely.

"Well, sit. Abramovich gestured to the seat across from him.

When the cronie assistant came over and sat down, he saw the newspaper on the table, and his eyes swept over, and he probably knew what was going on.

'Boss, I spoke to Scolari and we all agreed to push more young players, and in Anelka's absence, we will put the youngster Borini in the first team, who is only 18 years old but has a lot of quality, and in midfield we also arrange the same and take this opportunity to promote young players. ”

When Abramovich heard this, his eyes opened slightly, and he suddenly smiled helplessly, "It seems that everyone has concluded that I don't plan to bring in reinforcements during the winter break." ”

Granovskia remained silent, but somewhat acquiescing.

The whole world knows that Chelsea are in dire need of strikers and midfielders, but apart from Falcao, who has previously pursued Chinatown, there have been no other transfer scandals or any movement, which in itself is a very clear signal.

"Do you have any recommendations from the scouting department?" Abramovich asked suddenly.

Granovskia was a little surprised, because she knew that Abramovich had no intention of bringing in reinforcements, had she changed her mind?

"The transfer market has been buzzing this winter, with Dzeko in the Bundesliga, Luis Suarez in Ajax in the Netherlands, and Falcao in Chinatown in La Liga all the big names in the transfer market, and each of them is worth a lot of money. ”

"Tell me about it. Abramovich said lightly.

"These three players are all in the eyes of fans after the outbreak last season, Falcao won the top scorer in La Liga, and this season is also leading the La Liga scorer list, Dzeko is performing well in the Bundesliga, as for Suarez, is another strong scorer cultivated by Ajax after Huntelaar's transfer to Real Madrid. ”

"How much is it worth?"

"It's not cheap. "Dzeko has attracted the attention of many teams, but Wolfsburg has made it clear that any team that wants to get Dzeko must come up with a high price, at least 30 million euros or more, to convince Wolfsburg." ”

Suarez has also received the attention of many teams, including Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool, and Ajax is also sitting on the ground, and the transfer fee is estimated to be no less than 30 million euros. Oh yes, his agent is Jorge Mendes. ”

When Abramovich heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

Today's European winter break transfer market is tens of millions of euros at every turn, which is outrageous, right?

Granovskia has followed Abramovich for many years and knows the temper of his boss well, and when he saw him frowning, he immediately said: "Actually, there is a good player in the Premier League, that is Blackburn's center forward Santa Cruz, but his performance in the last two seasons has not been satisfactory, and Blackburn's asking price will not be less than fifteen million pounds." ”

The corners of Abramovich's mouth twitched slightly, a center forward who had not shown his due strength for two seasons was still asking for fifteen million pounds, he really couldn't understand what was going on in the world?

"Marina, what do you think?" Abramovich asked again.

Granovskia didn't understand what the boss meant for a while, thought about it, and considered the wording.

"I think that judging from the current performance, Falcao is the most powerful and has the most potential, plus he is a player handpicked by Gao Han, and we all know that the players that Gao Han is optimistic about are basically not bad, so it is only a matter of one or two years for Falcao to become one of the top scorers in Europe, which is why all the big teams chase Falcao. ”

"Dzeko played in the Bundesliga and didn't play badly, but the characteristics didn't match our style of play, Suarez was invincible in the Netherlands, but Kezman had to be careful. ”

Granovskia's words irritated Abramovich.

Kezman also killed all sides in the Netherlands and became one of the top killer stars in Europe, but he didn't expect that after transferring to the top league, his performance immediately shrank significantly, far less than half of his original performance in the Netherlands.

The same is true of Huntelaar and Kuyt, the former having been sent to AC Milan by Real Madrid, while the latter has been reduced to a sapper within Liverpool, and Rafael Benitez is even chasing Falcao without considering correcting him.

After Shevchenko's lesson, Abramovich did become more cautious in terms of transfer investment, and it was only then that he really realized the importance of alpine.

Throughout the years, the most cost-effective transfer for Chelsea is undoubtedly the year when Gao Han was in charge.

Thinking of this, Abramovich's heart couldn't help but move.

"How's Falcao doing?"

"Two goals and two assists in the last two rounds, the performance is quite eye-catching. ”

"And what about Real Madrid?"

According to reliable sources, Real Madrid also seem to have their sights on Falcao, who are considering adding money to Higuain to talk about a transfer with Chinatown, and are said to have started working on a plan, while Florentino had another meal with Mendes two days ago. ”

When Abramovich heard this, his brow couldn't help but furrow tighter and deeper.

Judging by all indications, Falcao can be said to be closer to Real Madrid.

There is no doubt that Falcao is the best and most reliable option Chelsea can make, but he is also the most expensive.

You get what you pay for, and this is undoubtedly an iron law in the European transfer market.

As the Eclipse set sail for Canary Wharf to Toba Telemy was getting closer, Abramovich closed his eyes and pondered for several minutes before he suddenly let out a long sigh and reopened his eyes.

"Marina, give me a call to Mendes. ”
