Chapter 246: Poison Scheme
Portsmouth suffered their first defeat of the 2012-2013 season in China, drawing with Arsenal only to be crushed by three sharp counter-attacks by an obscure Chinese Super League club in Nanjing, and the news returned to England, leaving a number of English media outlets with a big question mark over the prospects of the once Premier League powerhouse for the new season. The relegation odds offered by the major markets, Pompey's army is second, and the first is Wigan Athletic, which is deeply involved in club transfer rumors.
On the contrary, in terms of the odds of the coach leaving class, Heideward is indeed at ease, a good English media from the record, background, fans and other angles of the analysis of the Premier League's youngest coach in the history of the new season prospects, Heideward's team style of play, discipline, the record of the superbank is beyond reproach, after Portsmouth completed the asset restructuring, a large number of fan shares were acquired by several investment funds in the United States, Europe and even China last year, the largest of which is said to have an inextricable relationship with Hydward's father, and even Ward married the daughter of the team's biggest sponsor, the boss, and the gossip newspaper asserted that with such a deep background, Hydward would never be at risk of being out of class in a year or two. But in the end, Ward can be in Portsmouth, but it is inseparable from the support of the fans, taking over a team that may overturn at any time at a critical juncture, quickly improving the record, reorganizing the club within half a year, rushing to the Premier League, just as the fans hung a banner at Fayton Park: "One of us", we refer to the fans, the other refers to Ward, the home coach has never received a lot more cheers than the players, and this will soon be verified in the Premier League.
Whether it is the domestic praise or the defeat in the warm-up game, Ward has no time to take care of it.
A few days ago, he rushed from Lazio to Sassuolo Football Club in Serie B overnight, and after some negotiations, he spent 350,000 euros to buy out the youth team youngster Berardi, and rushed back to Lazio from Sassuolo overnight to meet Klose and his agent Schute, Milo only stayed for a short time, he already knew that Lazio did not plan to renew his contract, and he also knew that the team he was about to join was a Premier League promoted horse, and he knew that it was Icardi from Portsmouth who replaced his place. Klose still has training tasks in the morning, but he also took the initiative to come over to say hello, and Hydward is too satisfied to be satisfied, he praised Milo as a big-name star, and he can definitely improve Portsmouth's influence, Klose just laughed, and said that he has played football for 20 years, but he deserves to be diligent, and he is not a star.
Hydward invited the two to dinner, and during the dinner he talked about his understanding of the players and the club's planning, and then Klose went back to training, and the barbecue, beer, and sausages ordered at the lunch table were not eaten by Milo, and he was self-disciplined to the extreme. It was another two hours to continue to discuss the details of the contract with the agent Schutte, Portsmouth really wanted it, and naturally gave enough sincerity, the three-year contract, the salary is given according to the limit of the club's salary structure, portrait rights, appearance fees, goal bonuses, substitute non-appearance bonuses, loyalty bonuses, international event bonuses, all the core players should have, Schutte is not the kind of insatiable agent, it can be seen from Klose that he handed over all his affairs to him, and the agent did not make it difficult, Just asked for a full 700,000 euros in the signing fee.
Ward was also taken aback by his preparations, when he bought Drinkwater from Manchester United, the signing fee was just three months of the player's salary plus bonuses, and it was not known how many times it had been for a player like Klose, of course, he also knew the market, and the 30% of the transfer fee under the unspoken rules of the industry was naturally nothing to talk about.
In the evening, Klose, dressed in casual clothes, came to sign, and everything was settled.
And it was at this moment that Hydward saw the news of the team's warm-up game losing to the Chinese Super League, which had little impact on his side, but made Tom, who was far away in Chelsea, suffer enough, De Bruyne did not get a chance in the Blues, Tom persuaded him many times before he moved the idea of leaving, and the news of the defeat came, and people saw at a glance that Portsmouth's strength was not good, and the heart that had been moved was put back in the stomach.
Tom was so angry that calling back to the coaching staff was a scolding call, and Ward made a phone call like this, which may not change anything, but one thing is for sure, the first-team players are having a hard time.
................
The other side
Things dragged on long enough, and Tom, who knew that he couldn't wait, found a group of friends to get drunk that night, and accidentally revealed a little secret. Chelsea's attitude, De Bruyne's inaction, has finally worn out the last of his patience.
By the time Tom woke up the next day in the arms of the beautiful woman, peachy news full of malice had spread all over England.
For example:
Friends and wives continued! Chelsea's new stealing teammate woman!
Ex-girlfriend said De Bruyne had an unforgettable one-night stand with Courtois
Another example:
Surprise! Chelsea's goalkeeper is afraid of being returned by Atletico Madrid!
The new Champions League champion may fall off a cliff in the new season, and the reason is him!
Today, after all, it is a world of media explosions, and it is still such a powerful news that spreads all over Europe in just one night.
Tom is a lawyer, and investigating a person is just a professional instinct, but this investigation doesn't matter, but it is to find out a friend's wife for Chelsea. In 2010, John Terry was revealed to have cheated on teammate Bridge's girlfriend Vanessa Peroncel, and the England captain even arranged for the woman to have an abortion and gave him a hush money of £20,000.
Courtois also came to match the old captain's side this time, but Bridge was replaced by a former brother, who and De Bruyne were teammates from their time at Genk in Belgium and helped Genk win the Belgian league title in 2010/11 before joining Chelsea. According to the media, Kevin's girlfriend Caroline was tired of living with him, so she secretly got along with Courtois, and the two exchanged that kind of photo on the Internet, after Courtois went to Atletico Madrid on loan, she also secretly came to Madrid in the name of tourism and spent night after night with Atletico Madrid, and the travel time was not less than a month.
Tom only revealed that there was such a thing, but he didn't want the media to blow up more and more exciting, and two days later, Caroline, who knew that she couldn't hide it, publicly sprayed De Bruyne for cheating, and Chelsea fell into a public relations crisis up and down. In addition to deleting the news, the Blues urgently recalled Courtois, inquired about the situation, and brought Kevin to appease, but with the Belgian's deeply devastated and resentful eyes, Chelsea already knew that the choice was coming!
