In early 2009, Zhang Lihua transferred 1.2 million pounds in cash and bought a traditional French-style mansion with a long history on the banks of the River Thames in London's old wealthy district. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis place is undoubtedly a landmark project in South West London – the residence is located in the heart of London's riverside area, just a few minutes' walk from Chelsea Harbour.

The accommodation that Chelsea FC rented for An Shuai was very close to Zhang Lihua's bungalow.

Because Zhang Lihua is a loner, he rarely lives in a house for a long time. Because of his loneliness, he prefers the night view and atmosphere of the hotel. Therefore, the house is empty, except for the parking room, and the rest of the decoration in the house is very simple. There was only a Porsche and a cruising motorcycle parked in the garage.

Fran Marco knew that Zhang Lihua's purpose in coming to London was not just to pay homage to Carlo Ancelotti.

Sure enough, while handing over the key to the mansion and a check from a London bank to Marco, Zhang Lihua also deployed some ulterior things to him. At this point, Marco officially became an important informant under Zhang Lihua.

In the secret letter that the big guy Wang Di attaches great importance to, there are also some secrets that even Fei Mo can't ask about - a total of three documents are actually written in Baguwen!

In addition to participating in the Italian Football Special Association and GEA's peripheral organizations, Zhang Lihua will also interact with some international personalities outside the football circle with the assistance of Wang Di. In the Fulham area, it is convenient to carry out confidential business, both large and small. There are many powerful club owners in London, most of whom have settled in Fulham and Chelsea.

As for the other property that Zhang Lihua bought in North London, written in Suna's name, it was the wedding house he really bought for himself and Suna, a feng shui treasure away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Presumably, the reason why Zhang Lihua bought a lot of real estate in London also lies in the consideration of future development. For the time being, he is thinking about building Newcastle into a giant, and at the same time gaining fame and fortune, he will lay out the entire European football circle and become a veritable football boss - this is already his subconscious ambition.

Now that he has taken the first step towards the peak of his career, he has too many patterns to review and plans to deploy, and he is not even sure of driving with peace of mind. The capable Kiki sat in the driver's seat and personally drove a Porsche to An Shuai's house. And what he really thinks about in his head, even he himself is tired of outlining. In short, Phila and Fran Marco had to go about the special business he had given him first. Kiki appears to have gone to Mr. Ancelotti's house as Zhang Lihua's partner.

Zhang Lihua didn't say it explicitly, and Qiqi concentrated on driving. After a while, it was transferred from the mansion in Zhang Lihua's name to the Chelsea manager's apartment.

- Garden-Apartments-West is the first phase of the Fulham Riverside project. There are 34 individual residences to choose from, ranging from one-bedroom – four-bedroom boutique apartments, to two- – four-bedroom duplexes, with prices ranging from £800,000 to £1.5 million.

An Shuai lives in Garden-Apartments-West (No. 36 in Zone D).

District D is no worse than District K where Zhang Lihua's house is located, and these are the two most expensive districts. Presumably, Abramovich's mansion is also here.

Since it is a place for life and entertainment in Anshuai, the swimming pool and garden in Area D are the latest styles. In winter, the park is provided with underfloor heating, which means that there will be no snow on the snowy world.

Zhang Lihua led Qiqi to wait at the gate of the mansion without saying a word. Only when Kiki held his palm could she feel his nervousness or excitement.

It seems that in the last round of the league, Newcastle and Chelsea had a direct confrontation. After the game, Zhang Lihua had a brief greeting with An Shuai, but he had not officially taken office at that time. An Shuai is very unfamiliar with him and doesn't attach much importance to him.

In this round of the league, Newcastle's tactics played very reasonably. The 4-3-1-1 that was practiced by one person at the end was simply godly.

You must know that An Shuai recognized Edward Rohn's figure at a glance from the broadcast video, but he definitely didn't think that this style of play had anything to do with Eddie Rohn. Ron's actual combat level alone is not enough to design an offensive and defensive system of "wingback and midfielder switching". There is only one explanation for Anshuai, and that is that Newcastle's new manager is very likely to be a tactical genius in the true sense of the word.

In this way, Zhang Lihua appeared in front of An Shuai's house at 17:30 in the afternoon as agreed in advance. An Shuai and his old partner Tasotti came out to open the door together.

"Oh, Mister Zhang, hello." An Shuai said in not very fluent English.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lihua actually replied in skilled Italian: "Carlo, my master." It was my pleasure to meet you. ”

"Oh, Zhang, you're a genius! Have you ever lived in Turin? An Shuai asked kindly.

"In the United States, I learned Italian from a female classmate from Turin. I took Latin at Harvard, as well as the history of the European Middle Ages. So, Carlo, we can communicate with Italy. ”

"Anyway, please come in. This is the one you should have seen on the broadcast in Serie A, Mauro Tassotti (Mauro · Tassotti）。 And him, the same tactical genius as you, Massimiliano Allegri. Allegri）。 ”

An Fat's voice is soft when he speaks, similar to the tone of Fat Mo's jokes. There's a lot of visitors right now. In addition to AC Milan coach Allegri and assistant coach Tassotti, there is also the famous Italian legend Paulo Rossi.

It seems that Paulo Rossi is now the ambassador of the Italian Football Federation - apparently meeting with An Shuai on behalf of the Italian Football Federation.

Zhang Lihua came with his partner, which would make An Shuai misunderstand. So An Shuai said hello to Qiqi: "Mrs. Zhang, do you also know Italian?" Would you like some coffee? ”

"No, no, no. Carlo, she's still a child, how can I have such a young wife. Zhang Lihua hurriedly explained.

"Oh, when Kaka got married, Caroline was 18 years old. Okay, then she's supposed to be your girlfriend, I'm not wrong, right? ”

"You're wrong again, she's nominally my niece, but she just happened to let me bring her to London. Oh, London is so big, I'm not familiar with it as a countryman from China. Zhang Lihua has always been humble in seeing people gossip, and from time to time he observes the expressions of Allegri, Tasotti and Paolo Rossi.

Allegri had a pen and a hard-shell notebook in his hand, as if Tassoti was talking to him about something. Paul Rossi wore a suit and leather shoes, sipping coffee with grace, and his demeanor and spirit were worthy of the reputation of the "golden boy" of the year.

Enter a large living room with an Italian closet, a neat room with a screen that plays highlights from Benitez's Inter Milan period. Benitez is out of class. Inter, who won the European treble last season, have changed their manager, and the team's tactical reform has been a mess, and it has also injured sharpshooter Diego Milito.

Unexpectedly, Ancelotti told Zhang Lihua directly: "Zhang, can you understand?" The decline of the Inter was expected by the Italian Football Federation. It won't be long before the Moratti family will be gone. Milan's two giants no longer have an absolute say in European football. Only Juventus still have the financial support of the Agnelli family. Now we are going to discuss how to stop the situation in Serie A as a whole. Are you interested in participating in the discussion? ”

"Oh, I'm honored. I don't know much about Italian football, though. Zhang Lihua and Qiqi sat side by side in front of the sofa, their hands pressed on their laps, sitting in an extremely upright posture, looking serious and meticulous.

Then let Paul tell you directly. Paul, this is Mister Zhang, who speaks the dialect of Turin. ”

"Hello, Zhang. We know that you know the chairman of FSU. The Italian Football Federation also knows that you have been involved in the investment of Fiat-owned club Ferrari. It stands to reason that you must have some connection to a large domestic conglomerate. We want you to attract investment directly and take over several of Italy's biggest clubs. ”

Paul Rossi's tone of voice was very humble, as if Zhang Lihua was deeply surprised to hear his "analysis of power". Then he denied:

"I'm just a rookie coach of England's declining team. Who knows any Chinese consortium? Oh, and if you guess I've invested in Ferrari, I'm not going to tell you, I've worked on Wall Street, and everything is for banks and investment banks. ”

"No, no, no. We don't ask you to make a decision so quickly. We are also not familiar with Chinese buyers, so we don't have to rush to agree or reject our requests. In conclusion, on behalf of the Italian Football Federation, I would like to submit a formal application to you. You will be an overseas advisor to the Italian Football Development League. It is a ten-year contract with an annual salary of 200,000 euros. Please take a look at it. ”

"Let me be a consultant...... All right. I'll seriously consider it. Mr. Carlo Ancelotti. You're not going to call me, you're just going to meet Mr. Paul Rossi and have dinner with you or something, are you? I'd like to ask you some questions about the technical and tactical style of football. Of course, I also want to know about the so-called pattern of Italian football. It just so happened that Mr. Allegri was there. ”

Zhang Lihua took the initiative to say his request, and Ancelotti did not refuse.

Newcastle then stood up and looked at Allegri and shook hands. Allegri, nicknamed "Ayi", really looked cute and nodded.

"Haha. Zhang, you're interested in Italian football, right? ”

"Yes, Mr. Rossi. I miss Serie A a lot. There are Piero, Zidane, Ronaldo and Vieri in Serie A. ”

"Okay. Carlo, it's time to tell this Mr. Zhang what you plan to do in the Premier League. With that, Paolo Rossi and Allegri said goodbye. Taking advantage of the slowing rain, take a direct flight to Milan and return to Italy early.

The purpose of this group of people to visit An Shuai has not been disclosed for the time being. The purpose of inviting Zhang Lihua to An Shuai's house for a party is definitely not simple.

"Zhang. I was invited by Mr. Abu to coach in England somewhat out of desperation. Milan's finances are terrible. Massimiliano revealed to me that the team is paying Ibrahimovic's maximum salary on the premise of the title. If the league title is lost and the European competition is blocked, Ibrahimovic will definitely change hands. In the summer transfer window, Milan sold Thiago Silva for 30 million, was it just to ease the financial crisis? I'm not going to stay long at Chelsea and sooner or later I'll have to play in other leagues. If I could, I would like to get acquainted with you as a genius. Ancelotti said without reservation.

"Why? Why, you say you won't be at Chelsea for long? ”

"Not why. Zhang, the revival of Italian football is my goal. Even if I win a trophy for Chelsea, that's not enough to comfort me. ”

"Oh. Yes, I also want the revival of Chinese football. Zhang Lihua smiled and shook hands with Ancelotti.

Now, Kiki and the two of them are left in the living room, and the atmosphere of the conversation is a little awkward. An Shuai looked at the "Biren" who was holding hands, and said with envy: "It's good to be young." ”
