Kevin De Bruyne still remembers the day the Blues spent €8 million to bring him from Genk to England to sign a player's contract. That year, the trumpet-mad Villas-Boas advocated high pressing tactics at Chelsea, but this could not match the fitness of the team's veterans and the usual style of the Blues, who were unable to keep a clean sheet in games for five months in a row, and on the other hand, the Champions League group stage was also stumbling, relying on Drogba's outburst to ensure group qualification. At that time, the three consecutive draws in the Christmas Devils schedule lost to Napoli in the first leg of the Champions League 8/1, coupled with the arrogant young marshal to catch the veteran who attempted a coup d'état to the stands, "Little Bird" held the bridge for eight months and left in hatred.

The team is in turmoil, the Blues are in turmoil, the names of new managers, new players and new staff are appearing on the desk of the president one after another, and who will bother with the name of an insignificant youngster in distant Belgium. On a cloudy, stormy morning, Dutch scout Wessel took a well-crafted video screen and took advantage of the storm to risk skipping all his superiors and finding Abu, the big boss, the Russian oligarch with a lot of enthusiasm and words.

Abu watched the video very carefully and listened to Weisel's reasoning, he rubbed his fingers, thought for less than half a minute, and then picked up the phone to inform the transfer department to buy De Bruyne...... But he also made it clear that in order to make up for Wesel's overstepping, the opposition must leave the team. The Dutchman relented, but on the condition that his boss write the paperwork himself to get him out, and he felt the rest of the Blues didn't qualify. Abu picked the best pen and gave it to him with signed letterhead, and since then the Dutch scout has been touting Chelsea as the best club Abu is the best owner, and there will be a title to be won this season.

It's just that no one expected that in the words of this bragging old man, Chelsea assistant coach Robert Di Matteo was appointed as the firefighting coach, and this firefighting made the team burst out with huge energy, turning over Napoli, the majestic Messi could not cross Cech's ten fingers, and the final was defeated by Bayern Munich with a lack of four main players, and the Blues officially stepped into the ranks of the world's giants after this battle.

"Kevin, Chelsea will give you an explanation!" Wesel stood beside De Bruyne, holding a stack of papers with the Blues medal in his hand, "Abu wants to see you." ”

De Bruyne looked at the old man with silver hair and a smile in his eyes, and unconsciously clenched his fists.

No, he thought to himself, a man like me would never give false hopes, and he would certainly not hide the cruel truth. The Blues' strong public relations skills have made it almost impossible to find any trace of this incident in the mainstream media online, except for a few obscene newspapers such as The Sun that published some unsightly photos of his girlfriend.

Is that thing fake online? Is this a rumor? Didn't his childhood girlfriend get involved with her teammates?

Kevin actually knew that it was true, it was all true, he knew it was true from the first time his girlfriend sent a breakup text message, his first love, the Caroline who was not good-looking but still made him love miserably, the woman who stayed dormant day after day with him in Belgium, and wanted to marry her in the future, but in just a few months, he rolled the sheets with "good brothers" and "good teammates".

On the way to Abu's office, De Bruyne unexpectedly only had peace left, and he couldn't afford to have even the slightest hatred for the pair of dog men and women, recalling Caroline's fat appearance, and Kevin actually had a smile on his face at the door of the office, what kind of taste is Courtois? Repaired a tank?! Thinking about it, he actually felt a little sympathy for this pick-up man.

His academy coach taught him from a young age that being able to judge the right passing route quickly and consistently doesn't make you a great footballer, but if you can't judge the right passing route quickly and consistently, you can never be a great player. There are always all kinds of gaps on the field, between players and players, between players and sidelines, football is a dynamic game, these gaps, appearing, disappearing, appearing, real players can always capture the gaps between people, people and balls, people and lines.

He can capture these gaps, but why can't he capture the cracks of life?

……………

Abou spends more than eight months a year in England and he barely wins a home game at Chelsea, which how many owners in the world can do? He sat quietly in his office, his computer still playing the Blues' Champions League goals, he was born with broad shoulders, strong limbs, a tense face, Abu had a short and straight beard, and his eyes were like two wounds, like the ocean of night.

This is an innate, powerful and majestic face, a Russian oligarch, who dies, flees, and closes, and there are few people who live as nourished as him.

"Old man, I knew that whether I called you or not, you would come." He was in a good mood and said.

"Kevin is a player I recommend and I wouldn't have come if I wasn't sure he's going to be one of the great players." It was an ugly face that Tom hated, says Wessel, "I met De Bruyne on my way upstairs. ”

Abu couldn't help but complain: "Look, I'll just say, you shouldn't have been allowed to stay in the club in the first place, whether it's the Netherlands or Italy, where you like to go, then you can't be a good envoy." ”

He flipped through several documents on his desk, and De Bruyne noticed that one of them was a sample of his incident, and another he vaguely saw the words Atletico Madrid and Courtois.

"Thibaut Courtois played well at Atletico Madrid, he started in Spain, I watched the Europa League final and played really well, Maria did a good job for me," Abu commented lightly, Maria is now Chelsea's sporting director, and his friend and secretary for many years, and the two have worked together for more than 15 years.

Kevin is slightly disappointed, now Courtois's achievements are incomparable to him, the same age little lion is already the main force of La Liga giants Atletico Madrid, a Europa League trophy in hand, clean sheets in the final, what does he have? The champion of the competition? Heh, Courtois has it too.

No wonder the woman had a crush on him.

"I want to go ......"

Before Kevin could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Abu, "How do you want me to clean up Courtois?" Does the team terminate his contract or sue him? Chelsea don't mind sacking a player, Kevin I'm absolutely satisfied. ”

“……”

The office was so quiet that it was audible to the ground, Abu was smiling, Weisel was full of pride, and De Bruyne felt as if he had been beaten from behind. What did he hear? Abou told him that Chelsea could fire the rising supernova Thibaut Courtois for him, treating a player worth tens of millions of euros as nothing.

Is this the boss of Chelsea? Abramovich, who spends a lot of money and treats the madman Munirio as a toy.

Kevin almost opened his mouth to say something, but the cursed Courtois sentences couldn't get out of his throat, "Are the days still long?" He sighed, not wanting to ruin his former friend's future, "Boss, I want to accept Portsmouth's contract and let him stay at Chelsea." ”

At this moment, there was an angry cry and curse from Weisel in his ears, and Abu stood there without any care, and Abramovich smiled at the corner of his mouth, patted Kevin's shoulder, and encouraged: "Then kick well." ”
