In the afternoon of the same day, Chelsea held a meeting with new signings open to the media at the Cobham training base, and the new signings led by Iello gradually appeared in the eyes of the public, and the reporter also pressed the shutter in his hand at the first time.

Of course, their attention is focused on Iello, the number one player in world football, and the players of Malouda, Pizarro, and Sidwell are like supporting roles that accompany the Oscar for Best Actor.

At the press conference, in addition to the reporter's desire to understand the goals and pursuits of Eyro's transfer to Chelsea, that is, his specific weekly salary, because he has spent a record transfer fee of 60 million pounds, so it will definitely not be bad in terms of personal treatment, because his annual salary after tax in Valencia is 7 million euros, which is converted into about 4.75 million pounds.

If you divide it by the 42-week work week, this means that his weekly salary after tax is £113,000.

The tax rate in England is as high as 39%, which means that Iroh's weekly salary before tax must reach at least £185,000.

This pre-tax weekly salary is far more than the 130,000 pounds a week salary received by captain John Terry, but the problem is that Ello's contract with Chelsea is five years, and he is a high-priced transfer, so the salary is definitely higher than before.

In other words, Iroh's weekly salary before tax will definitely reach more than 200,000 pounds, but the exact amount is unknown.

And this specific salary figure is like a bachelor seeing a naked goddess for the majority of media, and they can't help but want to understand and dig out the final number.

You must know that the average weekly salary before tax in the Premier League has not exceeded 30,000 pounds, but Chelsea has more than 200,000 pounds per week before tax, what will the other players think?

One person can be strong! But is it stronger than five or six people?

Therefore, the salary can be more than two to three times that of others, but once it exceeds six times, it is unacceptable.

is also playing in the top league, why can others get a weekly salary of more than 200,000 pounds, then why can they only get a weekly salary of 30,000 pounds?

People have the psychology of comparison.

What Iello didn't know was that his transfer and treatment had caused many Premier League players to express dissatisfaction with the treatment given by the club, just like Cristiano Ronaldo's agent Mendes, who only signed a five-year contract extension with Manchester United last season, and he approached Sir Alex Ferguson again in the hope of improving the treatment again.

The same problem has been found in other leagues, with agents such as Kaka and Ibrahimovic, who performed well in Serie A and the Champions League last season, approaching their respective clubs in the hope of improving their pay in proportion to the player's contribution to the team.

A day later, it was the Times, editor-in-chief Tony Evans's column that attracted the attention of the whole of Europe: "When the average weekly salary in the entire Premier League is only 30,000 pounds, there are already players whose weekly salary exceeds 200,000 pounds. We don't have a specific number, but we received it from a reliable source yesterday afternoon......"

“…… The specific weekly salary should reach a staggering £250,000 before tax! If this is calculated, after deducting the 39% tax rate, the weekly salary of Ai Pocket will be as high as 15.20,000 pounds, which is more than the 130,000 pounds before tax of Terry, who is currently the second highest weekly salary in the Premier League, and the 120,000 yuan of Leo Ferdinand, who is ranked third! ”

Tony Evans's column not only has the specific weekly salary figure of Iello, but also the amazing bonus figures, so to speak, Iroh's current salary is the highest in the whole world football!

The weekly salary of 15.20,000 pounds after tax will reach a staggering 9.4 million euros in euros, and if it is converted into yuan, it will reach 100 million!

The European media is constantly hyping Elo's sky-high weekly salary, and powerful player agents have begun to use Elo's sky-high weekly salary as an opportunity to negotiate with the club, asking for an increase in the treatment of players!

At this time, the sports media in China not only reported on the fact that Xie Yalong, the chairman of the Football Association, was shuanggui, but also reported on the sky-high weekly salary of Ailuo, which had just been exposed.

In the past, they were discussing on the Internet how high the weekly salary and annual salary of a certain player of a certain team in such a league was, but now it is different, and now everyone is discussing the sky-high annual salary of their compatriots!

The change of roles made the Chinese fans who participated in the discussion feel more refreshed!

When The Times exposed Eyro's sky-high weekly salary, Chelsea CEO Kenyon did not shy away from the issue, and did the same as when Iello moved to Chelsea at a sky-high price.

Knowing without speaking, words without words!

This has to make thoughtful reporters wonder if the Times exposed Eyro's sky-high weekly salary on the deliberate part of Chelsea FC.

Soon after, Kenyon made the announcement: "At 3pm on 31 July, Chelsea Football Club will be meeting the new signings at Stamford Bridge!" ”

Of course, it was not so much a grand meeting of new signings as Chelsea for Ello to personally hold a meeting with the Blues fans, and the choice of this time was also completely taking care of the work and rest time of the Chinese fans.

It was only then that the media realised that this was just a preparation for Airo to meet the Blues fans at Stamford Bridge two days later.

Or rather, build momentum!!

However, the Blues' Chelsea fans were divided at this time, with supporters believing that Elo's sky-high transfer fee and sky-high weekly salary must be worth the money, and that a grand meeting of new signings at the stadium was a matter of course.

The opposition believes that Iello has only proven himself in La Liga and the Champions League, and in their minds the Premier League is the best league in the world, and the level of physical confrontation is not at all comparable to the technology-based La Liga.

Is a player who hasn't proven himself in the Premier League worth the sky-high transfer fee and sky-high weekly salary?

So put a big question mark on that.

Besides, does it make sense to hold a meet-and-greet at Stamford Bridge?

For a while, neither of the two factions of Chelsea fans could convince anyone.

Because Valencia, led by Elo, eliminated Premier League teams Chelsea and Liverpool in the knockout round of the Champions League last season, it can be seen from these four games that Ailo is not the kind of player who cannot adapt to the Premier League-level confrontation, but is not good at using his body.

In other words, Iello still has the potential in the Premier League, but how big the potential is can only wait for time to verify.

The Chelsea fans calmed down, but their arch-rivals Fulham fans began to make trouble.

They see Chelsea as a complete wrongdoer.

Valencia is clearly a team that is about to go bankrupt, and the price of their players should be kept as low as possible, but Chelsea did the opposite, spending a record 60 million pounds.

And when the weekly salary of Premier League players is generally not more than 30,000 pounds, they give a weekly salary of 250,000 pounds, which is simply more advanced than the wronged head! Reached the stage of cerebral palsy!!

As a result, it has also provoked anger among Chelsea fans, with live-action brawls being the most common phenomenon.

However, the security measures in London were well done, and they were quickly stopped by the police.

The hatred between the two teams is so great that it has to start from the last century.

At that time, Chelsea was still poor, and the relationship with Fulham, which was also in west London, was not good, but west London was a rich area, and the fans of both teams were relatively high, unlike the blue-collar workers in east London.

Fulham fans joked that Chelsea fans were food stalls, and Chelsea fans also joked that Fulham was a farmer, but in fact, the two teams at that time were half-hearted, and over time, they became mortal enemies.

But now that Chelsea are rich, they don't take Fulham seriously at all.

But Fulham fans don't think so, they feel that Chelsea are just lucky, being favored by Russian oil tycoons, and the essence of the team is still the same as Fulham's, belonging to the category of the poor.

Now that you have this kind of opportunity, won't you laugh at it?

On the last day of July, the weather was very different from the usual London weather, with sunny and sunny weather with daytime temperatures reaching up to 20 degrees Celsius and low humidity, perfect for the races.

On this day, Iello will make his debut at Stamford Bridge in front of 40,000 Blues fans.

At 2:30 p.m. local time in London, at 9:30 p.m. Beijing time, the CCAV-5 was connected to the Stamford Bridge stadium to transmit the signal, and the stands facing the main station were slowly filling up with Blues fans.

What followed was as if it were a London derby rather than a meeting of new signings.

The staff at the scene were still busy, and a makeshift podium was set up in the middle of the court.

Although CCTV and the Premier League have reached an impasse in negotiations for Premier League rights in Chinese mainland, Chelsea's new signing meeting is not under the jurisdiction of the Premier League, so only Chelsea needs to buy broadcast rights.

The camera switches one after another, and a lot of huge posters of Iroh appear.

Many loyal fans of CVAV-5 always feel a little awkward to watch the Premier League live through CCTV, because they have become accustomed to watching Premier League games on the Guò Internet or other local stations, and it will take a little time to fully adapt to the broadcast footage of the Premier League.

The live broadcast at Stamford Bridge played the Chelsea anthem 'blue-is-the-colour'

Half an hour passed by, the stands became quiet, the anthem played on the radio at a much lighter volume than before, and at three o'clock, a bald man in a Chelsea shirt for the new season walked out of the players' tunnel and walked to the makeshift podium set up in the middle of the pitch.

Die-hard Chelsea fans recognise it as Carl Chapman, the on-site DJ who has quietly dedicated his youth to Chelsea FC for almost two decades.

The fans in the stands fell silent and the radio stopped playing "blue-is-the-colour", and Bill Chapman, who slowly walked to the makeshift podium, began to speak, and a passionate voice spread through the radio: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's meeting of new signings at Stamford Bridge, I am your old friend Bill Chapman......"
