Chapter 1 (Transitional Chapter)

On 5 July 2004, the 12th edition of the European Championship in Portugal finally came to an end. Hosts Portugal defeated the Czech Republic 2:1 in the final to win the final crown of this European Championship, completing their zero breakthrough in football history. The outside world generally gave a very high evaluation to this European Cup, although there were also scandals in which Italy was eliminated by the black ball, but this did not prevent this European Cup from becoming a classic. Attacking football, once again victorious in this European Cup. And the victory of offensive football often means a carnival of fans around the world. While it's not all about the excitement and excitement, it's the one that catches the eye.

For the final between Portugal and the Czech Republic, the final carnival of this European Cup, the German newspaper "Kicker" has a very high evaluation. They wrote: "It may not be the most scored goal and the most exciting game of this tournament, but it is definitely the most classic game. Both sides presented us with almost all the elements of a football match, brilliant goals, intense scenes, fiery clashes, indomitable spirit, teamwork and perfect individual heroism. If a soccer match includes this qiē, what more could you ask for? ”

Portugal has finally achieved its pre-European goals and managed to reach the top on home soil. As the biggest winner of this European Cup, the whole country was in an unstoppable carnival in the following days. All the Portuguese people are frantically celebrating this historic day. In the final awards after the game, Portugal also made a big splash. Cristiano Ronaldo, old Ray. Carvalho and Valente, all four of them made the best team. Thereinto. Lao Lei also successfully won the European Cup Golden Ball Award and became the most energetic person of the day.

For Lao Lei. He managed to reach the pinnacle of his career at this European Championship, and his personal popularity was once again raised to a new level. As the biggest contributor to Portugal's championship, Lao Lei has become the hottest player in the world for the time being. His news and reports flooded all the sports media for a while. In Portugal, there was even more admiration and admiration for him, and there was not a bad word to say about him. In this regard, some Portuguese media even quipped: "If Reima conducts the presidential election at this time." Then he will definitely succeed in becoming the youngest president of Portugal with an unprecedentedly high approval rating. ”

But. It is Lao Lei, who is in the most proud state of his life, but he has not been able to enjoy the joy of success. Because of the injury to his right calf, he is currently unable to move freely or even travel. I had to stay at home, and I had to worry about how to deal with the reporters gathered outside my home. However, now those reporters are no longer Lao Lei's biggest trouble, and this biggest worry has become the two young women in his family.

Shortly after the European Championships, Avril took on the role of Kayla's best friend. temporarily lived in Lao Lei's house. God knows what Kayla thinks, she actually lets her rival live in her boyfriend's house. Anyway, Lao Lei himself can't understand it, and in the past few days, he has been facing these two women all the time. It's already made his head bigger. In particular, Kayla looked at him from time to time with a look that seemed to be nothing, and it always made him feel like he was on pins and needles. Don't know what Kayla means exactly.

Looking at the two girls sitting on the sofa together, talking and laughing. Lao Lei silently picked up the gamepad and tried not to pay attention to them. Do more and do more wrong. See more and make more mistakes, say more and make more mistakes, this is the code of conduct that Lao Lei is now pursuing, and he must do "less" every qiē. Just when he was really bored, someone came to the door and rescued him, it was Mourinho, Mendes, Kenyon and Abu.

The second daughter tacitly went upstairs and left the living room to Lao Lei and them to talk about things. "Reima, how are your injuries?" Mourinho spoke first, asking with concern.

"Nothing, head. In another week, you will be cured. Lao Lei, who knew the purpose of their trip, was not in a hurry, so he chatted with Mourinho sentence by sentence, waiting for the other party to speak first.

After some pleasantries, Abu finally got straight to the point and said: "Reimaa, we hope to see you at Stamford Bridge next season. There was no doubt in his tone, the classic Abu's domineering style. Kenyon on the side, although he was dissatisfied with this, could only endure it temporarily on this occasion. After all, the introduction of Reima has already achieved unanimous approval within the Chelsea hierarchy. As long as Lao Lei can be successfully introduced, the process is not important to Kenyon. It's just that Abu's increasingly obvious strong style and arbitrary style of acting make him feel more and more uncomfortable.

"Why? I need a good reason. Chelsea is not the best option for me at the moment. In the face of Abu, Lao Lei was also very frank and asked his own questions very confidently. In fact, he has never had a final absolute in his heart about his transfer. Admittedly, Chelsea are on his list of options, but it's not the only one, nor is it the best. Chelsea's biggest attraction for him is nothing more than two, financial strength and Jose Mourinho. Among them, working with Mourinho again is the most attractive to him. In addition to a series of factors such as the relationship between the two, Mourinho's own coaching ability and so on, it is Mourinho who knows him best and is also the manager who gives him the most freedom in terms of tactics.

Although, in the Portuguese national team, Lao Lei still enjoys the highest treatment of the command core, but it is a little worse than the complete freedom in Porto, and absolute freedom is addictive. If he goes to another club, will he still be treated like this? For this problem, Lao Lei knew very well in his heart that it was almost impossible. In those big clubs, it is almost impossible to give a player the absolute core treatment, even if it is, it will not be a recruit, even if it is a famous recruit. As things stand, Ray knows that this absolute freedom is most likely to be available at Chelsea. However, that alone was not enough, he needed more.

For Lao Lei's question, Abu and Kenyon did not answer, but looked at Mourinho together with a tacit understanding. The two of them can promise questions such as salaries. But what Lao Lei is asking now is obviously not this. In that case, it is up to Mourinho as a manager to answer. Look at the situation. Mourinho also knows that it is time for him to play. He cleared his mouth and began to speak.

One hour later, Mourinho and his party left Lao Lei's house with a smile on their faces. "Mr. Mourinho, are you here to discuss a transfer with Remaiah?" 'As a result, did Chelsea become Remaier's new owners?' "How much money are you going to pay?" … Escorted by bodyguards, the group finally got into the car and left in the frenzied siege of reporters.

And the next day, the front pages of the major newspapers made headlines. There was a photo of Mourinho and his party coming out of Lao Lei's house with a smile on their faces. For a time, the rumors of "Godzilla coming to Stamford Bridge" were noisy. The British newspaper "The Sun" even swore that "there is no doubt that with Mourinho's relationship with Remaiah." Chelsea have come to the front in a transfer battle for the hottest player in world football at the moment. From this as a starting point, a series of transfer rumors around Lao Lei began to spread everywhere, and the popularity remained high.

The heat of the European Cup has not yet subsided. The transfer news of the best players in the European Championship is what fans like to watch. And as long as the fans like it, the reporters will write it one after another, of course, with the accuracy of the content. It's not their concern. The major giants in Europe have begun to have a relationship with the old Leila, Manchester United. Real Madrid, Barcelona and so on are all here.

Thereinto. Some of them are imaginary, but some of them are real. Real Madrid, for example. Florentino has spoken openly that the old ray will be the focus of Real Madrid's work this summer. And like Arsenal, who takes a fancy to Lao Lei, it can't be fake. Because according to Arsene Wenger's transfer tradition, Arsenal will generally not make a move on a spicy chicken like Lao Lei, who is destined to be worth a lot of money. One after another transfer rumors that seem to be true and false have made fans dizzy.

Just when there was a lot of speculation from the outside world, Lao Lei's family, Kayla and Avril were already the first to know Lao Lei's choice, and his next stop will be Chelsea in the Premier League. In this regard, Kayla, who has long been dissatisfied with the long-term separation of the two places, raised her hands and feet in favor. Joining a London football club was a great decision for her. Looking at his jubilant girlfriend, Lao Lei was also more satisfied with his choice, which was an unexpected joy. Originally, he didn't think about this layer, but looking at Kayla with a sweet smile on her face, he wasn't stupid enough to say it.

In addition to Lao Lei, most of Porto's main squad has already been rumored to be transferred, Maniche, Deco, Ferreira and others are included, seeing that the Porto supermarket has opened. In this regard, Lao Lei can only be helpless, although the departure of himself and others is inevitable. But seeing Porto, the strongest team in history, being dismembered so quickly, as one of the participants, Lao Lei still has some regrets.

However, it is not without good news. That is Pacos Ferreira and Carvalho, who are likely to be brought to Chelsea by Mourinho along with the elder Rai. It's also nice to be in the company of someone familiar in another completely unfamiliar environment.

One day, after the calf injury was almost healed, Lao Lei and his teammates in the Porto team all came out to have a party. In the face of separation, Lao Lei, who didn't drink much, also drank happily until he drank almost a short story. It's a farewell to this period of Porto career.

Looking at the brightly lit Porto, Lao Lei felt a little nostalgic for a while, and then began to look forward to his career at Chelsea. New opponents, new leagues, this qiē made him slightly sentimental, and looked forward to it. At this time, he remembered Mourinho's words that day.

"Reima, I know there are a lot of big clubs that will also be your choice. I'll also admit that Chelsea isn't a big club right now, it's just an emerging club. But Reima, what are you going to do with those big clubs? To win the championship, to open up a dynasty? And even if you do, so what? You can only share the glory with those legendary superstars, and you will never be the only one.

At Chelsea, you have a chance to be the only one. We have the funds, the strength, and the ambition to build a new wealthy family and a new dynasty. When the time comes, Reima, I hope you can be the founder of this wealthy family, the king of this dynasty, and you are the one and only one! “

"Being unique is the way you should go, Reima."

Looking at the night sky, Lao Lei's eyes were full of heat.

One and only?!!
