It's May, and transfers in Europe are in full swing.

In European football, the most eye-catching is still Chelsea, but they have confirmed only Kaladze, the left-back who has been between the substitute and the main player at AC Milan for the past few years, and is not lacking in quality, but not famous enough, and the English media believe that Kaladze is 'far from Abu's appetite'.

Abramovich told everyone with a check - and this was just the beginning.

Chelsea brandished a cheque early on, and almost all of them were sky-high prices of more than 40 million, and the purchase list included superstars such as Henry, Shevchenko, Zhang Tiehan, Gerrard, Adriano, and even Ronaldinho, who played for Barcelona.

It's so domineering!

It's a pity that it has just begun, Chelsea has frequently hit a wall, Arsenal will not sell their king, Inter Milan will not sell their king, Gerrard is as important in Liverpool as Totti in Rome, AC Milan has no plans to sell Shepchenko for the time being, as for Ronaldinho, the Catalans will definitely not sell their core.

Chelsea have spent a lot of money in the past two years, but they have also recruited players such as Drogba and Carvalho who are difficult to be classified as superstars.

Among the many stars who have come to Stamford Bridge, only Robben can really support the façade of the giants, or from Manchester United. Chelsea were unbeatable in the Premier League last season, with the individual highlights of the stars coming in two homegrown players, John Terry and Frank Lampard, the former of whom came through the Chelsea Academy. The latter only broke out after joining Chelsea.

To be sure, Chelsea's plans to buy superstars this summer won't stop. First, Abu needs big names to decorate the façade of the aristocracy, and second, the team's attack relies too much on two wingers. The wings are often helpless when they are contained, and there is an urgent need for a talented player to revitalize the attack, and many more attacking points to support the team, otherwise Mourinho's defensive counter-attacking thinking will not change, which makes Abou very unhappy, and he does not want fans to say that his team is a utilitarian team that wins by defending.

But Chelsea had to look at the 'second-rate'.

'Chelsea have always bought second-rate stars with first-class money, it's their 'tradition' because no first-class star would choose Chelsea.' So said the newspaper "Milan Sport".

Zhang Tiehan is also attributed to the 'second-rate' stars, which is not an exaggeration. After all, he has only been a season, and he is far from reaching the influence of a world superstar.

The difference is that among the 'second-rate' stars, Zhang Tiehan's table is the best, compared to the forward stars, he can barely compare with Parma's Gilardino, but it is only barely comparable, and the two can't be compared at all, after all, Zhang Tiehan is likely to be the top scorer in the Champions League.

Zhang Tiehan didn't care about this. He is also not averse to joining Chelsea.

He almost joined Chelsea when he left Wigan Athletic last season, but he didn't know why Chelsea had halted his transfer, and he felt like he was being teased. But that's the way it is to transfer, and it's likely that Chelsea have finalised Drogba and it feels bloated up front. gave up on his transfer.

At that time, he was not very famous.

It's also a good option to go to Chelsea now, and that team will definitely offer you a big contract. Bigger contracts than other players, which Zhang Tiehan is still very satisfied with.

One year in Rome. He only earned about 4 million euros, which also included various bonuses and commercials, which is much better than the average person, but compared to his peers...... For example, there are really not many teammates such as Totti and Montella, and the salary income of Montella and Totti is higher than this in the club alone.

Zhang Tiehan's requirements are not high, and a contract with an annual salary of about five million euros is worthy of his watch.

This is equivalent to Totti, Montella and others, such a contract weekly salary is about 90,000 euros, which can barely be regarded as the top salary in world football now.

It's just a little bit of a stretch.

Not to mention the big-name stars of Real Madrid, the core of the general giants, including outstanding players, has this value, Zhang Tiehan will definitely become the main force no matter which team he goes to, and he is an excellent main player. It would not be an exaggeration if Zhang Tiehan went to Chelsea to get this salary - you must know that the salary of Chelsea players is often 100,000 pounds a week, which is almost equivalent to 140,000 euros, compared to 90,000 euros a week.

……

Chelsea's cheque strategy has proven to be very attractive to 'second-rate' stars.

On 1 May, the day of the match between Roma and Brescia, Chelsea's official website announced that Manchester City's big Wright Phillips would join Chelsea for a fee of £21 million.

25 million pounds, which is roughly equivalent to 36 million euros......

Big Wright-Phillips is not bad at Manchester City, he has scored 26 goals for Manchester City in 153 appearances, and is a very good front-court player, but this alone is too far from 36 million euros, such a high transfer price, let the world see that Chelsea is wronged, but also see the richness of their wallets.

After the match against Brescia, Zhang Tiehan learned the news.

Because the name is always associated with Chelsea, Zhang Tiehan also pays special attention to Chelsea's transfer news, after all, he is likely to become a teammate in the future, and it is good to know in advance.

But he didn't know the implications of the incident.

In London, at Roman Abramovich's estate, Roman Abramovich was having dinner with Jose Mourinho, who was joined by Frank Lampard and John Terry, two of Chelsea's best players in the season, and Roman Abramovich loved to entertain the team's best players.

They are also talking about a transfer job in the summer.

Chelsea are not going to let go of their colourful players, Frank Lampard is one, John Terry is too, they are the pillars of Chelsea's midfield, and Roman Abramovich and Jose Mourinho have not shied away from talking about these at all. This made the two more happy with the team.

Abramovich chatted casually, "I would have liked to bring Ronaldinho to Chelsea. Back in '03, when he was going to Barcelona. I've done that, but I'm still failing. ”

Mourinho shook his head, he knew that Roman Abramovich admired Ronaldinho very much, but it was no longer a matter of money to take their core away from Barcelona.

'In midfield, Ronaldinho doesn't know what he has to do, I also need a good defensive midfielder and I think Essien can play that position. ”

Abramovich nodded.

Chelsea's transfer work. Usually Abramovich mentions, Mourinho to decide, he rarely interferes in the team's affairs, but some extremely good world superstars, such as the pillars of various giants, he still hopes to bring to Chelsea, that will make Chelsea fans very satisfied, this is the effect he wants, under the star effect. Chelsea fans will naturally be pleased with his cheque-wielding chairman.

After thinking about it, Abramovich suddenly asked, "How is Zhang?" I was optimistic about him last season when he was still in a small team. I've asked Kenyon to negotiate his transfer, and a double Serie A and Champions League goalscorer will certainly make Chelsea stronger. ”

"I would have liked Sheva more. It's just a pity that AC Milan won't sell him. ”

Mourinho has heard the news about this, and the transfer of Zhang Tiehan is Abramovich's own decision. If Abramovich insists on buying Zhang Tiehan, he will not object. After all, that's the double shooter king...... But when asked for his opinion, he still thinks it's better not to buy it.

The double goalscorer is very good, but his team already has Drogba, and the transfer of Wright Phillips has also been finalized, plus Crespo, who will return to Chelsea in the summer, Chelsea has five players in the forward line alone, and in terms of midfield, plus Essien, who is coming to Chelsea, Chelsea's midfield also has Makelele, Maniche, Lampard, Cole, Duff, Geremi, Robben, Diarra, Thiago, Grant, Moraes, Smith and other fourteen players, and the front and midfield are a little bloated.

What's more, when Zhang Tiehan went to Chelsea, Drogba played the main force or Zhang Tiehan played the main force.

These are all questions.

He doesn't want his team to have Real Madrid's problems - a bunch of superstars are disturbing the dressing room, everyone wants to play, and if the table is not good, he blames too few appearances...... It can't be like that, it can't be like that, his team has to be in full control of him!

Mourinho groaned and said, "The front of the team is a little bloated, Zhang ...... It will be difficult for the team to squeeze a place for him unless Didier is sold. ”

Abramovich's brow immediately furrowed.

Drogba's table is still quite good, he has scored 16 goals in 26 appearances this season, which is quite high in the Premier League, especially in Chelsea, where there are many big names, it is really not easy to have this kind of table.

So......

Abramovich thought for a long time before looking at Mourinho again. Mourinho's decision made him not very satisfied, but the team's results this season are very good, and they are about to win the Premier League title, Mourinho's ability is worthy of recognition, and for a star he is optimistic about, questioning Mourinho is a bit worth the loss.

In the end, Abramovich shook his head, "You decide." But in fact, he was still very dissatisfied.

Mourinho didn't know what Abramovich was thinking, and he liked the feeling that he had convinced the Russian tycoon, who had decided for himself.

After eating, Mourinho left the estate with John Terry and Frank Lampard.

Abramovich looked at Mourinho's back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face suddenly became a little ugly, while Mourinho also had other thoughts in his heart - the reason why he opposed Zhang Tiehan coming to Chelsea was not only for those superficial reasons, but also related to himself.

When he arrived at Chelsea last summer, Chelsea were in the midst of transfer talks for Zhang Tiehan, and he simply announced that he had halted the negotiations that were about to go through.

At that time, he said, "Zhang, who is it?" ”

Although there are not many people in the know, but now spending another 50 million euros to bring in Zhang Tiehan, isn't that the same as suing those who know that his decision has cost the boss Abramovich 35 million euros in vain? Loss of 35 million euros a year...... That's seven times more than his salary.

When the time comes, when Zhang Tiehan joins Chelsea, what will insiders think of themselves?

In case the news gets out...... He, Jose Mourinho. This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen, so. Zhang Tiehan, you must not come to Chelsea!

……

What happened on this small estate. No one else knows.

The Italian side also didn't know, their reports still frequently linked Zhang Tiehan with Chelsea, Chelsea and Roma were about to finalize the transfer, Zhang Tiehan also asked his cousin to come to Rome, ready to negotiate his contract with Chelsea.

Zhang Tiehan stepped into the Chelsea door......

But the next day, the Italian media received strange news - AS Roma announced that Chelsea had unilaterally suspended negotiations with AS Roma regarding the transfer of Zhang Tiehan.

Why?

A group of people speculated.

The Club of Rome is also speculating that the 'fat sheep' in their hands have slipped away, giving them the urge to vomit blood. A lot of people regret that they didn't have such a big appetite when they knew they wouldn't have had that much, and when Chelsea offered 50 million euros, they should have agreed directly, and that would not have been the problem now.

But it was useless to regret it, Chelsea suspended the negotiations and made it clear to AS Roma that Chelsea did not want to bring in Zhang Tiehan.

Many have speculated that Roman Abramovich is suddenly reluctant to pay for it, or that Chelsea have found a better frontcourt player than Zhang...... But that's almost impossible, even if they sign Big Wright-Phillips, who is a wing-back. Instead of a striker, he can only be regarded as an offensive midfielder, and when it comes to strength and appearance, the two are also very different.

But there has to be a reason!

A number of Italian media outlets immediately contacted their counterparts in London. Let them get the first-hand information quickly, and as a result, many reporters dig up the news, and the most direct is to interview Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.

The impact of this incident is still very large.

Mourinho also had to come forward and say something. To tell the reporters why, "Chelsea have a lot of good players up front. We don't need anyone else anymore. ”

He said so.

However, this statement is hardly satisfactory to the journalists, given the fact that Chelsea have initiated negotiations. And Chelsea haven't brought in any other good strikers recently.

Pressed by reporters, Mourinho mentioned Drogba's new contract, "We wanted to add players to the team's frontcourt, but the negotiations with Didier went well, so there was no place for anyone else in the frontcourt. ”

One journalist asked, 'Didn't Mr Abramovich claim to do everything he could to bring the best players to Chelsea fans? Mr. Mourinho, do you think Drogba is better than Zhang? ”

'Of course, Didier's appearance is obvious to all, Zhang is outstanding, but Didier is better suited to Chelsea.' Mourinho said without hesitation.

This made the reporters in the audience noncommittal.

Whether it is an English reporter or an Italian reporter, they are all on the same front this time, even those media reporters who support Chelsea, they are also united with them, because Zhang Tiehan's table is obvious to all, he is the top scorer in Serie A, and has scored forty goals in a single season, such a terrifying number of goals, especially in Serie A, which is known for its defense, his table is too amazing, so amazing that other strikers can't compare at all.

Drogba is good, but he has only scored seventeen goals in the league, Zhang Tiehan has more than doubled his goals, not to mention that Zhang Tiehan is likely to be the Champions League scorer, while Drogba has only scored one goal in the Champions League.

The two, do you compare?

As long as a sane person can judge the difference between the two tables, but Mourinho insists that Drogba is more suitable for Chelsea, and they can't refute it, after all, Zhang Tiehan is good at Roma, and Roma and Chelsea are not the same team.

It's very far-fetched to say that, and it can only be regarded as barely passing.

At the same time in Rome, Italy, Zhang Tiehan also knew what Mourinho said in an interview, for the comparison with Drogba, Mourinho said that Drogba is more suitable for Chelsea, he doesn't feel anything, but he thinks that Chelsea stopped negotiating, it must be related to Mourinho, otherwise how could he suddenly suspend negotiations?

It was like this last time, and it's still like this this time.

This must have nothing to do with Abramovich, who has praised him in public many times, and Zhang Tiehan believes that Chelsea is good and has something to do with Abramovich's appreciation.

And Mourinho ...... He has never publicly praised himself, and he has not commented on his performance like other coaches, which is not normal, after all, he is currently extremely good, and many coaches will receive similar questions, such as 'talk about Zhang's table' and so on.

Then the reason must be on Mourinho.

Zhang Tiehan looked at Mourinho on the TV screen, his eyes narrowed slightly, but the anger in his heart also rose a lot.

You say Lao Tzu is not as good as Drogba?

You let Chelsea run a transfer and both abruptly stopped playing tricks?

What about him!

If you go to the Premier League, you will definitely kick your Chelsea off the championship!

In the future, as long as you are a coach, no matter how much you ask Lao Tzu and how big a contract you offer, Lao Tzu will not go!

Zhang Tiehan suddenly had an urge to return to the Premier League.

The Premier League, where you have Manchester United, where you have Arsenal, where you have Liverpool, where there are a lot of really good teams, where football has nothing to do with politics, players just need to play football, don't have to worry about other problems at all, and there are many friends of their own......

England, what a nice place to be.

Ac milan...... Serie A is really boring, and if you win the opponent in the future, you may be told by the opponent, "The referee is biased towards AC Milan." ”

Real madrid?

Is that place full of big names really suitable for you? Competing with Ronaldo, Raul and others, even if he looks good, can he really play?

None of this is good.

Only England, no matter which team you go to, is much better than staying in Italy, or going to Spain! (To be continued......)
