Volume 1 Chapter 229 Yes, I'm an upstart!

It has been said that there is a group personality in every human being.

Fabio Cannavaro is convinced of this, because he and Chiro Ferrara have a distinctly Neapolitan personality in them, which is that they like chaos and noise, and they must choose to be in the lively city center because it is lively enough to be in the quiet countryside of their teammates.

But strangely, when they go on vacation every summer, their choice seems to be completely different, because they have chosen the beach and yacht for three or four years in a row, and they take the whole family to the sea on the yacht and spend their holidays on the yacht, away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

It has to be said that the Neapolitans have always retained the character of strong and unyielding sailors, even on the windy and rough seas, they still dare to jump off the yacht and act as the tide runners cheered by their sons and daughters in the rising and falling waters.

Even if Cannavaro's leg injury hasn't healed, it doesn't stop him from playing well on the surface, and Ferrara is no slouch in this regard, with two former Napoli team-mates having fun on the surface every day.

Perhaps, all Neapolitans are born to find happiness in the sea.

When they returned to the yacht after a swimming competition, both of them were out of breath, but they looked very excited.

"I won, Chiro," Cannavaro said smugly at Ferrara, "I may not be as good as you when it comes to playing cards, but when it comes to swimming, you're not as good as me, after all, you're in your thirties."

Ferrara's face was depressed, this guy is too shameless, but he can't refute it in terms of age, who made Cannavaro only old, and there are still more than a month to reach 30 years old?

I have to say that Ferrara's physical function has declined rapidly in recent years, especially at Juventus, gradually unable to play, and gradually reduced to a substitute, which makes it more and more difficult for his body to adapt to such an intense professional league, and retirement has been placed in front of him.

"I've heard that Cooper has a crush on Stam, will it affect you?"

The two of them sat at the end of the yacht, their feet soaked in the water, and in the distance, the wife and children were still playing in the water, and the two families were happy enough to envy the others.

"No, Mr. Moratti told me before that he would not let me go, and I promised him that I would give him some time, and the shin injury will heal soon, and I will be able to perform at my best," Cannavaro looked confident.

A cracked tibia bone is just a small injury, according to normal circumstances, as long as you pause a few games and do some low-intensity training, you can naturally heal, but Cannavaro's situation is more special, because after his injury, Cooper and Inter Milan's team doctors did not let him rest, but continued to play, which caused him to not recover even now.

Injuries also prevented him from showing the quality he should have in the game, and the constant change of Inter Milan's center-back combination at the time led to a controversial year at Inter Milan, especially last season, when Cooper repeatedly criticized Cannavaro by name, believing that his performance was very poor.

Because of this, many people are speculating that Cannavaro is likely to leave Inter Milan this summer.

But who will be Cannavaro's new destination?

There were rumours that it was Juventus, but what Moggi wants now is Chievo's central defender Lerotalje, and as for Real Madrid, their focus is on David Beckham at the moment, as well as this summer's trip to Asia, although there is news linking him to Cannavaro, but there has been no movement.

What's more, Florentino's most pressing task now is to find a new coach for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid and Barcelona were competing in the selection of coaches before, and they both wanted to get Ye Qiu, but what they didn't expect in the end was that Ye Qiu chose Chelsea, so these two giants are now starting to hurry up the pace of finding a coach.

However, this does not mean that Cannavaro is in a very optimistic situation at Inter Milan.

Last season, Inter Milan already had three central defenders, Cannavaro did not have an advantage in the competition with Córdoba and Materazzi, and now, Inter Milan are linked with Stam and Lucio, especially Stam, which is undoubtedly more disadvantageous for Cannavaro.

"Don't worry, it's okay," Cannavaro smiled a little reluctantly, patting his old friend Ferrara on the shoulder, not so much to comfort Ferrara as to cheer himself up, because he was well aware of his position at Inter.

The annual salary of 4.5 million euros after tax, which means that Inter Milan's annual expenditure on Cannavaro's salary package, plus taxes, will be as high as 9 million euros, which is definitely a huge pressure that any club can hardly bear.

It is important to know that the introduction of Cannavaro with such a staggering salary was a painful decision that Moratti had to make under pressure after the frenzied investment of Lazio and Roma, coupled with the craze of the World Cup and the transfer of Nesta to AC Milan that Inter Milan had been operating.

But nowadays, the Italian football market is generally pursuing thrift, if Cannavaro can play the strength of the core central defender, then the salary expenditure of 9 million euros is still acceptable, judging from Cannavaro's performance last season, this is definitely an expenditure that even Moratti feels distressed about.

And a very important factor is that Cannavaro has never healed from his leg injury, and he is about to turn 30, and everyone is doubting whether he will be able to return to his peak form.

Because of this, it has been revealed that Inter Milan's attitude towards Cannavaro is very vague, and if a team is willing to bid 150,000 euros, it will be able to take away the captain of the Italian national team, who was worth UU million euros a year ago.

But in the transfer market, there are very few applicants.

For Cannavaro, this is undoubtedly happy and sad.

Happy because no one is interested in him, he can continue to stay at Inter Milan and continue to live with his high salary; It is sad that the self pursued by countless teams a year ago has been ignored a year later, which has to be said to be a big humiliation.

Chiro Ferrara is of course well aware of the details, and he is also depressed for his friends, but there is no way, no matter how big the professional players are, they are far less powerful than the club, because the latter holds the ownership of the former, and you can sell it if you want, and it is difficult for you to refuse, unless you want to rely on it without dignity

Just when the two were silent, the phone on the yacht rang.

"I'll pick it up" Ferrara patted Cannavaro on the shoulder and climbed up.

It didn't take long to see him come out of the yacht, "Hey, Fabio, your phone, O'Liari"

Julian is the head of marketing at Inter Milan and is responsible for transfer operations.

As soon as he heard the name, Cannavaro's heart jumped, and he remembered this piece of information, transfer?

He paused visibly and was a little stiff, but he pulled his legs out of the water and climbed onto the yacht, but his movements were a little slow, as if each step was heavy.

Ferrara patted Cannavaro on the shoulder comfortingly at the door, turned and walked to the end of the yacht, leaving Cannavaro alone on the phone, believing that there must be many things that Cannavaro did not want to be heard.

"Hello, Fabio," O'Liari said on the other end of the phone, but he didn't have the usual laughter when he saw Cannavaro.

"Hello, is there something wrong with me?" Cannavaro had a hard time making his tone lighter.

"Yes, it's a bit of a thing," O'Leary was obviously hesitant to speak, but he decided to get straight to the point, "You know, the management of the club has decided to make some adjustments to the business strategy, we want to have a leaner, more competitive team, that's what the management, and that's what Cooper thinks. ”

After a pause, O'Liari continued: "We have always gotten along well with you, and there are some things that we don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so I decided to inform you personally......"

“…… Maybe in the eyes of a lot of people, we did a stupid thing, but we decided to sell you because Chelsea made a transfer offer of 100,000 euros, which allows us to invest in other places and we can't refuse'.

Cannavaro doesn't remember what O'Liari said in the end, the only thing he remembers is that he was like the walking dead, dealing with O'Leary, and his head was buzzing, he was only worth 10UU million euros, which was outrageous

Cannavaro's angry punch slammed into the table, as if to make the whole yacht feel the vibration, so Ferrara looked back at him, but didn't come over, just waited there, which was a kind of respect.

Soon, Cannavaro was calling his agent, Enrique Federer.

"I know you're going to call, Fabio," Enrique Federer's voice was loud.

'I just walked out of Stamford Bridge and I met their manager Ye Qiu and the agent who ran the transfer, Eliza Moon, and they all confirmed the transfer with me and told me that they had signed an agreement with Inter Milan and unless you refused, you belong to Chelsea now'

This undoubtedly made Cannavaro's heart, which still had a glimmer of hope, completely immersed in the bottom of the Mediterranean, and he felt as if all his strength had been drained, and he didn't know why it suddenly became like this.

Didn't Moratti promise him not to sell him? Didn't Cooper say he wanted wings and a back line that didn't move?

"Fabio's" agent finally found a quieter place to talk properly, "I talked to Ye Qiu, he is full of interest in you, he is also convinced that you can reach the top of your form again at Chelsea, and he promised that you will come to Chelsea without a salary cut, 4.5 million euros after tax, and if the team wins the honor, there is an additional generous bonus." ”

"It's a pretty good deal, Fabio," Enrique Federer summed up afterwards.

Cannavaro finally accepted the reality, "But, Enrique, I don't want to leave Serie A, I don't want to go to the Premier League"

In this regard, Enrique Federer has long expected that the captain of the Italian national team will run to the Premier League, which is too risky, and it is likely to affect Cannavaro's status and influence in the Italian national team.

Let's take a look at who goes to the Premier League, right?

Desailly, Zola, Vialli and others are all past their prime, and going to the Premier League is quite old-aged, but Cannavaro has not yet reached the point of retirement, and the other is like Veron, he went to Manchester United and collapsed, and now he is desperately trying to escape from the Premier League, and it is said that it is possible to join Inter Milan.

"Don't be so pessimistic, Fabio, Ye Qiu is right, many Serie A stars come to the Premier League to either retire or perform poorly, but you also have to see Henry and Vieira, they didn't play in Serie A, but when they arrived in the Premier League, they became superstars, and I can see that Ye Qiu and Chelsea are very ambitious."

Cannavaro shook his head vigorously, "I'm in a mess right now, I can't think, Enrique, I'm ...... Isn't there a team in Italy that wants to strengthen the central defence? Or La Liga, isn't it? ”

Enrique Federer on the other end of the phone hesitated, "Italy does have teams to strengthen the central defender, but you know, many teams are not financially satisfactory now, and they may not even be able to play European competitions, so you go, needless to say, a big salary cut, and there is no way to play European competitions."

"Real Madrid and Barcelona both want to strengthen the central defenders, but I have also had some contact with them, the most important thing for them now is the introduction of managers and front-court players, you know, this is a tradition in La Liga, Barcelona president Laporta vowed to bring in Beckham and Ye Qiu, but now Beckham has gone to Real Madrid, Ye Qiu has gone to Chelsea, he has to find a suitable replacement to appease the anger of the fans."

Having said all this, it is already clear that Cannavaro will have to wait for interested buyers to come to Inter Milan if he rejects Chelsea, which is likely to make him lose face.

Many times, professional players are so embarrassed, everyone lifts when the scenery is beautiful, and everyone falls when they are in trouble.

"Trust me, Fabio, I think you should talk to Chelsea and listen to Ye Qiu's thoughts." The agent gives his own advice, and there is both his plan for Cannavaro and his self-interest, because Cannavaro does not take a pay cut, and he can also get his own benefits from it.

"I'll think about it," Cannavaro sighed.

While Cannavaro was still hesitating, Chelsea finally announced two long-overdue transfers.

The official website announced that the team brought in goalkeeper Van der Sar and right-back McCone from Ajax for RU00000 euros and 15UU0000 euros respectively, both of whom are Ye Qiu's old players at Ajax, and now they are reunited at Stamford Bridge, and everyone is not surprised.

After the announcement of this transfer, the Italian Milan sports newspaper once again published strong news, Chelsea launched a strong attack on Pirlo and Nesta, the offer for Pirlo was increased to 30UU million euros, and Nesta's transfer offer was also increased to 55UU million euros, both transfers were surprising.

However, AC Milan's general manager Galliani announced that he rejected all offers for Pirlo and Nesta.

"Everyone knows that we are not short of money, we will not be lured by the money of the nouveau riche, and the most important thing for us this summer is to stabilize the squad, further improve the team structure and continue to attack the European competition and the Serie A title."

At the same time, Chelsea's offer for Arsenal's three stars has also been further increased, including Vieira's offer has been increased to 40 million euros, and Thierry's offer is as high as UUUU million euros, which makes Arsenal hateful, and Wenger directly scolded Chelsea's nouveau riche approach in the media.

"I'm sure everybody will slam Chelsea's approach to disrupting the transfer market, they're trying to put themselves in opposition to everybody, and I can't understand Ye Qiu's approach, it's like a nouveau riche."

Ye Qiu's counterattack to this is also very simple, you say that I am a nouveau riche, yes, I am a nouveau riche, so he offered Henry three times his salary at Arsenal, which will also make Henry's weekly salary as high as 10,000 pounds, and Vieira's salary is also as high as 10,000 pounds.

It is important to know that the Gunners have long been dissatisfied with Campbell's top salary of 90,000 pounds after joining the team, and Chelsea has now suddenly announced a salary increase, which is undoubtedly rubbing salt in Arsenal's wounds, so that Vieira, Henry and other leading stars will work hard for their treatment in the club's contract renewal negotiations.

Relatively speaking, it is natural for clubs to hate Chelsea, but players are not, and on the contrary, they will be clever enough to use Chelsea to exert pressure and increase their bargaining chips.

Manchester United's Alex Ferguson is now the most important thing to manipulate Ronaldinho's transfer, and when a reporter asked him about his approach to Chelsea, Ferguson also secretly mocked Wenger, thinking that he was too petty to do so.

'I would welcome more quality managers to the Premier League, such as Chelsea's Ye Qiu'

But in just one day, when the media broke the news that Chelsea switched to Rio Ferdinand after unsuccessfully pursuing Nesta, and offered the Premier League's top central defender a top weekly salary of 10,000 pounds, Ferguson was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and scolded in the newspapers, claiming that he was on the same side as Arsene Wenger and opposed this practice of disrupting the market.

It was in the midst of such a storm that Chelsea announced that Danish star Glen Schal had moved to Birmingham City for 00,000 euros, which was Chelsea's first income in the transfer market this season.

But soon, Ye Qiu made another move, bringing in French left-back Patrick Evra, who performed well last season, from Monaco, France for 3 million euros, and this transfer also announced that Ashley Cole was completely out of contact with Chelsea.

Because, Ye Qiu commented on the French left-back in the official news announcing the introduction of Evra, "He will be Ashley Cole at Stamford Bridge."

That is, when announcing this transfer, Ye Qiu also announced a real seismic reinforcement
