Chapter 640: Returning to China (Changing at the End of the College Entrance Examination)
Chelsea's St Bride trophy was their first ever Champions League trophy, so it was a night of complete sleepless for Chelsea's die-hard fans.
The next day, when all the Chelsea members returned to Heathrow International Airport on Abramovich's private jet, the capital, London, was completely shaken.
As John Terry and Frank Lampard walked out of the plane with the Champions League trophy in their hands, countless fans in blue Chelsea shirts screamed and shouted a unified slogan: "European champions!!" Chelsea!!! β
Despite the number of professional clubs in London, the Champions League trophy was the city's first, and Chelsea fans and fans from other clubs rushed to the airport to catch a glimpse of the new Champions League winners.
Originally, the Chelsea club's hierarchy meant that the players would return to Stamford Bridge and then take the team's double-decker open-top bus around the stadium for a simple trophy parade, but now they had to change their plans and have to ask the logistics minister to drive the team's open-top buses directly to the airport.
Of course, this is not just about showcasing the 2007-2008 Champions League winners, but also the Community Shield, League Champions, League Cup and FA Cup trophies at the start of the season.
All five trophies sit on top of the heads of the double-decker open-top buses, which is eye-catching, especially the gleaming silver Champions League trophy in the middle.
Reporters who came to the scene took a wild shot at the Chelsea players in the double-decker open-top bus, especially Elo, who played a great role in Chelsea's title victory.
Everyone knows that without Elo, it is still unclear whether Chelsea will be able to win one of these trophies this season.
Chelsea fans also knew the title was hard to come by, singing the Chelsea version of the "Ai Song" in addition to the Chelsea anthem "blue-is-the-colour" as the open-top buses paraded to the town hall.
The singing continued until the London Municipal University.
To Eyro's surprise, in addition to the presence of the Mayor of London, the head of the Chinese Embassy in the UK also came to the scene to cheer him on.
What he didn't know was that the impromptu city-wide celebration at Chelsea was broadcast live in China.
The culmination was undoubtedly the display of the five trophies they had won throughout the 2007-2008 season by the entire Chelsea squad in the square next to City Hall.
Sue the whole England team - they are an unprecedented five-time champion!!
The chanting and screaming of the fans never stopped, and the frequency of calling Elloh's name was second only to Chelsea, with even manager Jose Mourinho and captain John Terry in favour of Cheng DΓΉ behind him.
So he had to wave at the enthusiastic fans frequently.
By the time the parade ended, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the players had a quick bite to eat before heading back to their respective homes to prepare for the club's intra-squad season awards in the evening.
The club's schedule is so urgent because the summer of 2008 is very tight, because this summer in addition to the European Championships in Switzerland and Austria and the Beijing Olympics, many players have to report to the national team or the national Olympic team for training.
In the evening, the club held an in-team season awards that were quite luxurious, and the owner Abramovich also invited the famous British U2 band and the world's three leading tenors to perform.
However, the climax of the game was Abramovich's announcement: "Guys, can you check your salary card now if the bonus has arrived?" β
After only half a minute, various screams erupted from all sides.
Iroh also looked at his mobile phone text message to remind him that the prize had arrived in a daze, a full five million pounds!
Although it still can't catch up with his annual salary, this bonus completely accounts for 1/10 of Abramovich's proposed bonus, which is too unexpected.
This was followed by the club's intra-squad awards this season, and there was no doubt that Iroh, who had contributed the most throughout the season, was the biggest winner of the evening.

The next day, before Iello had time to have a deep exchange with Taylor Swift, the reporter flew back to China, waiting for him to play never-ending games, the national team World Cup qualifiers and the Beijing Olympics National Olympic team training camp.
On this day, the news coverage of the whole world is still about Iro.
Although it has been two days since the 2007-2008 Champions League final, the news is still booming, and the Champions League has scored a staggering 57 goals in three seasons, which is really surprising, even if Raul, who is currently tied with Elo, and Shepchenko, who is second in the list, has not scored so many goals after almost ten seasons?
But Ielo has only relied on three seasons of performance to equal Raul's total Champions League goals, which is really incredible.
Italy's Torino Sport newspaper said: "The 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League season has come to an end, but the craze hasn't faded, and Chelsea's leading goalscorer has been miraculous, scoring a staggering 43 goals throughout the Premier League season, improving the Premier League's record of 34 league goals held by Cole and Shearer by a full ten, and he scored a hat-trick in the Champions League final and assisted Chelsea to win the Champions League against Manchester United." The three goals in the final also brought his tally to 20 Champions League goals this season, and the total number of goals scored in the Champions League increased to a staggering 57, surpassing team-mate Shepchenko and equalling Real Madrid captain Raul......
Later in the newspaper there was talk of the possibility of a summer transfer: "In the summer of 2007, Chelsea paid Β£60 million for Valencia's star Ai, who was thought Abramovich was crazy, but one season later, Chelsea won all the trophies they played in, causing countless clubs to regret not choosing to spend a lot of money on him...... So now they are not hesitating to suspend all transfer budgets and turn to the possibility of trying to bring in Ai, for these big clubs who are not short of money, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem at all, the problem is the possibility of Chelsea selling Ai...... How big is it? β
The well-known German newspaper Transfermarkt boldly predicted Iello's latest personal value: "After a season of solid performance throughout 2007-2008, Chelsea's leading goalscorer Ai has proven himself to be fully worthy of the price that Chelsea spent heavily on him, but over the course of the season, this value has also increased considerably...... According to Ai's table in all competitions throughout the season, the specific value has exceeded 80 million pounds, and the practicality has exceeded hundreds of millions of pounds......"
In addition to the practicality of the game according to Iroh himself, the value of "Transfer Market" also counts the Chinese market behind him, so the transfer value of the actual buyout will be higher!
Many clubs have withdrawn after seeing the analysis of "Transfer Market", but those clubs that never spend their money as money do not take this into account, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich......
Of course, this can only be achieved if Chelsea accept the offer, after all, Iello has four years left on his Chelsea contract.
What's more, there is no penalty clause in the contract, which means that unless Chelsea unilaterally agrees, it will not be possible to touch Arlo for four years.
Meanwhile, all the players and coaches at Chelsea Football Club are on holiday, but CEO Peter Kenyon is still busy in the club's office building.
Originally, he was patching the current Chelsea squad according to the list provided by Mourinho, and also contacted the agents of players who are not in Mourinho's plans for next season to ask them to find a home sooner.
But on his first day on the job, he received numerous offers, which gave him a huge headache.
90% of them are asking about the possibility of a transfer for Iroh.
There are 60 million pounds and 70 million pounds, and the most important of them is Real Madrid's offer, which reached a staggering 80 million pounds.
Of course, there are also offers to try your luck against the sky, such as 30 or 40 million pounds......
However, these were directly thrown in the trash by Kenyon.
As the most popular player in today's football, 30 or 40 million is embarrassing?
For Kenyon, who is the CEO of the club, the offer for the top two in La Liga can be said to be very impressive, the player who bought back for 60 million pounds last season not only recouped the cost but also netted five trophies and 20 million pounds after a season, which is a very good deal, but when you think of Abramovich's conversation at the end of the season, he has made it clear that he will not sell Aelo no matter how much money he has.
Because, he's not bad for money!
So...... Only faxes of all quotes about Iroh can be dropped into the shredder.
The focus then shifted to the people Mourinho wanted to bring in......
β¦β¦
On the other side of the world, when Iroh arrived in Beijing, it was already eight o'clock in the morning on the 26th.
In order to hide his eyes, he did not inform anyone that he would return to China.
The Champions League final is the last match of the Europa League, and all Chinese players in Europe have returned to the national team or the national Olympic team.
This summer will be very important for Chinese football, with back-to-back World Cup qualifiers against Australia on June 3 and 7, and the final two World Cup qualifiers against Iraq and Qatar on June 14 and 22.
After that, it was the training camp of the national Olympic team.
Iroh thought as he slowly walked towards the exit with the flow of people in front of him, but what he didn't expect was that there were already countless fans waiting for him at the exit of the international flight.
"Welcome home the European champions!" "The Olympics are up to you!" "Ai's thighs are mighty!! "Kneel and beg for a touch......
At the moment of his appearance, all kinds of strange slogans appeared at the exit of international flights.
Iroh really didn't expect that he had deliberately concealed his whereabouts, and he didn't expect that he would still be discovered by interested fans, so many fans were summoned to pick him up at the airport, sometimes ...... Being famous is really not a good thing.
Especially in China, which has 1.3 billion......
