Volume 1 Chapter 301 Is 4:0 Good?
With the Community Shield approaching, a new season is about to kick off
London, the heart of English football and the city with the most Premier League teams, is also full of tension as the Premier League approaches, and the newspapers on the newsstand have become hot again, and many newsstands have even used the new season as the focus of publicity.
Following last season's unbeaten run of Chelsea and Arsenal, the biggest question this season is who will be the first to break the unbeaten streak between the two teams, and whether they will be able to extend the unbeaten streak?
Manchester United have run into trouble with transfers, with Heinze and Wayne Rooney moving to Chelsea, United have so far brought in Gerard Gerard Gerard and Alan Smith, the former is too young to be reused, and the latter is not yet known to have an effect, but Ferguson has also let go of powerful stars including Bart, Forlan and Butters, as well as some young players.
Although Ferguson vowed in an interview with the media before the season that Manchester United would return in the new season, no one dared to hope too much for the Red Devils, because in front of the Red Devils, there is also a significantly stronger Blues Chelsea than last season.
The additions of Wayne Rooney, Essien and Heinze have taken the overall strength of this Chelsea team to a new level, and many believe that this Chelsea team will not only successfully defend the Premier League, but even hope to become the first team to do so since the Champions League was restructured.
Many newspapers, including The Times, The Sun, The Guardian and many other newspapers, have shouted that the biggest suspense this season is who can snipe Chelsea, and many teams that are seen as promising to compete for the league title, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal, have all regarded Chelsea as their number one rival for the championship.
Rafael Benitez took charge of the Reds, bringing in a number of powerful stars such as Cisse, Josemy, Xavi Alonso, Luis Garcia, and although they also let go of players such as Husky, Owen, David Murphy and Diouf, Liverpool's overall strength is still on the rise, and many feel that Benitez's arrival will make Liverpool competitive again.
At the very least, the Spanish master tactician has thoroughly proven himself in the excellent performances of Valencia in the past few years.
Arsene Wenger's Arsenal continued to adopt a shrinking diet, 500,000 to introduce Almunia, low price to introduce Flamini, free transfer to Lupoli, Arsenal is obviously not ready to continue to spend big, and sold Parlour, Jeffers and Kanu and other players, terminated the contract Wiltord, so that Arsenal's strength has been somewhat affected, it has been revealed that Wenger wants to bring in Arteta from Ajax and let the Spaniard take charge of the core of the Gunners midfield to replace Vieira, but there is no result yet.
Looking at the top four of the Premier League, almost all newspapers must be Chelsea in first place when predicting the league title
This has delighted Chelsea fans, made Chelsea players feel confident, but also made some unhappy.
At least, on the second floor of a townhouse facing the street in Kensington, London, Frank Arneson viciously slammed a newspaper in his hand on the table to vent the anger in his chest.
"Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea, all the fucking Chelsea, did this group of bastard reporters all take Ye Qiu's money one by one? Why do you go to pat him on the back one by one? The Dane's face was clearly distorted by anger, a little hideous.
Not far behind him, Pini Zahavi was surfing the Internet on his desk to the computer, and he clearly didn't take Arneson's words to heart, because he could feel the anger and apprehension in Frank Arneson's heart.
Before the end of last season, Frank Arneson and Abramovich talked about it, and he was ambitious to join Chelsea this season, become Abramovich's spokesman for Chelsea, serve as the team's technical director, share the power in Ye Qiu's hands, and even control the team's transfer power.
In order to be able to come to London and come to this European championship team, Frank Arneson even resigned as general manager of PSV Eindhoven, but now it is good, Abramovich did not say anything, not only did Arneson not mention the entry into Chelsea, but even the Stamford Bridge stadium was not allowed to watch.
What is this? Is this a reversal?
Frank Arneson has never been a person who can think very calmly and rationally, especially when his temper comes up, which can be seen as a typical Nordic character, and at this moment he is as irritable as a bear.
"Pinny, what the hell are you thinking now?" Arneson looked at Pini Zahavi and asked angrily.
The personalities and resources of the two can be said to complement each other, Pini Zahavi is the agent, Arneson has the most complete scouting network in the world, and the combination of the two is enough to further expand Pini Zahavi's influence ⊥ the tide.
Unlike Frank Arneson, Pini Zahavi is better at reading words and feelings, because he himself eats from this bastard.
"What do you think?" Pini Zahavi asked, turning his head.
"Is that the end of the matter? I feel like I'm being toyed with, I can't swallow this breath" Arneson sat down on the couch in a rage, and let out a heavy muffled sound.
"Played with? By whom? Pini Zahavi asked, a little amused.
Arneson was a little angry, staring at Pini Zahavi, "You know, Pinny"
Pini Zahavi left the computer, stood up, and walked over, "Oh, I guess you said Abramovich, right?" ”
Arneson didn't say anything, but snorted coldly, and his expression of not turning his head away was obviously acquiescence.
Pini Zahavi smiled, he felt that Frank Arneson's character was really a failure, at least he was not a person who was good at big things, but this person's ability was still there, and it was not weak.
Sometimes some people are really good in some aspects, but personality becomes the biggest obstacle for them to go further.
Perhaps, these people themselves may not know this
"I don't think there's anything funny, Pinny, aren't you angry at all?" Arneson was clearly about to explode.
Pini Zahavi was still smiling, and his face was full of Jewish cunning and shrewdness, "What's there to be angry about?" You know, there is a saying in my hometown, the more you are eager to get an opportunity, the farther away it will be from you, calm down and sing a song, it will take the initiative to send it to the door"
After hearing this, Arneson didn't say anything, but he was obviously dismissive of it, and he was not in the mood to sing now.
'Do you think Roman Abramovich didn't let us go to Stamford Bridge and didn't keep in touch with us because he was annoyed by something we were doing?' Pini Zahavi asked, still smiling.
Arneson didn't answer, but his eyes already showed his attitude, didn't he?
"If you think so, then all I can say is, Frank, you underestimate him too much" Pini Zahavi shook his head with a smile.
"For a person who has gone from an orphan with nothing in less than 40 years to a well-known super-rich and oligarchy in Russia, who has eaten through both the political and business worlds, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the coming to power of Putin in 1999, he can still stand, do you think this kind of person will be what you think?"
Faced with Pini Zahavi's rebuke, Arneson was clearly unable to answer.
If you take a closer look at Abramovich's life, it is not difficult to see that his past is so legendary, and for such a man who has been able to develop from nothing to the present, it is impossible for anyone to believe that he would be so weak to compromise with a young manager.
Sometimes, some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface
As someone said, human beings are always in the relationship of using and being used, as long as you still have even a little bit of use value, then you still have the right to continue to live in this world
"I'm telling you, Frank, do you really think he's upset about what we're breaking the news about? Do you really think he's unhappy with our actions? Or, do you think he really cares about how this team is doing? ”
The more Pini Zahavi said that, the more Arneson found himself confused, and did Abramovich not care about Chelsea at all? If that's the case, then why does he have to invest so much money?
"Why do you think the rich people in the United States and Britain want to sponsor politicians to run for election?"
Pini Zahavi's question made Arneson's eyes light up, and he seemed to understand something.
"For him, Chelsea is also just a business, but what he wants to get from this business now is not money, for him now, money is no longer of the slightest use, there are no richer people in this world than him, but not much, do you think money is important for a rich person like him? It's just a bunch of numbers."
Frank Arneson was completely stunned by Pini Zahavi's words, and it was at this moment that he suddenly became sober and realized that he seemed to be thinking too much about Abramovich.
"Ye Qiu is a very backbone person, he will take what he should take, and he will not touch what he shouldn't take, Abramovich once wanted to give him a supercar, but he refused; Abramovich once offered to use a private jet to pick him up, but he also refused, and even he voluntarily rejected Abramovich's offer to lend the luxury yacht. ”
"The only thing that makes Abramovich dissatisfied is that he has a cooperative relationship with his agent Eliza Moon, and the latter's agent company has Ye Qiu's shares according to intelligence reality, but even if I am an opponent, I can't wait to kill them, but I also have to admire that woman's ability, her business methods are very clever, and Ye Qiu is not involved, so no one can say that Ye Qiu has a problem"
"To a certain extent, Abramovich admires Ye Qiu very much, not only his ability, but also his character, but from another point of view, he and Ye Qiu are like water and fire, maybe for the time being, they are very harmonious with each other, but in fact, they have never been harmonious, and even to some extent, Ye Qiu is Abramovich's biggest obstacle"
Arneson understands that Abramovich is investing in Chelsea, not money, not a big team, but fame and status, and he wants to use this platform to increase his popularity and influence.
But so far, Chelsea's success has contributed to Ye Qiu's prestige and status, and the most praised by the British and fans in the world is Ye Qiu, nothing to do with him Abramovich, which is the biggest contradiction between the two.
"I still remember that in the UU year when Putin just became president, he held an extremely important secret meeting, invited more than 30 oligarchs to attend, and ordered them not to use their political connections to seek economic benefits, and at the same time no longer participate in political activities, otherwise, they will be severely punished, but this meeting, as a Russian super-rich Abramovich, did not participate."
"Under normal circumstances, isn't this a blatant signal to hit Abramovich? But Abramovich was not worried at all, he felt that this was a woo for himself, so he began to sell his business, ran for state legislature, and invested l300 million in barren Siberia, and his relationship with Putin has become very good. ”
Frank Arneson listened with admiration, and at least from this point it is not difficult to see that Abramovich is a very vicious person, with a very keen sense of smell and a good sense of understanding.
"So, sometimes, it doesn't matter what he says, what matters is what he wants to do."
"Abramovich has been used to living in the spotlight over the years, which is a kind of protection for himself, but it also makes him have to be very careful to protect his image and hard-won status"
When he said this, Pini Zahavi smiled bitterly, "Sometimes, people who are bosses are like this, they want to be famous and profit, in their Chinese words, they want to be a bitch and build a chastity archway"
After Pini Zahavi finished speaking, he stood up and looked at Frank Arneson, "I know that you are in a hurry now, this matter has reached this point, I believe he didn't expect it, but I believe that it will be solved sooner or later, it is better to be like this, I introduce you to Tottenham Hotspur to work, they now want a technical director, you are just right"
Frank Arneson is the general manager of PSV Eindhoven, the salary is not high, and many of the scouts under him are actually dependent on him, in fact, there is a stake in it, if he is unemployed and leaves professional football, then these people are likely to fall apart because of this, and it will be very difficult for him to rebuild such a system in the future.
Thinking of this, Frank Arneson nodded and accepted Pini Zahavi's arrangement.
"Believe me, Frank, everything you lost today, he will send back tenfold and hundredfold every day," Pini Zahavi said with a smile as he patted Arneson on the shoulder.
In fact, he was also thinking in his heart that he had appeased Abramovich, a tiger general who was very valued by the Russians, and that he would definitely get more benefits in the future than anyone else.
Savvy Jews never do business at a loss
With the Community Shield, the Premier League is just around the corner.
As the curtain opens, English football has gradually become lively, and many familiar elements have returned.
Ye Qiu's Chelsea is extremely strong and ready to defend the Premier League title; Arsene Wenger's Arsenal are ambitious and vowing to blow up last season's humiliation; Rafael Benitez's Liverpool have been reborn in hopes of reinvigorating the Reds; Alex Ferguson's Manchester United are undiminished in their pride, trying to beat the Blues and lay the flag for the new season.
At the start of a new season, Ferguson has always attacked his main rivals, which has become a routine for him, and the media is very supportive of his approach, and every year, Ferguson attacks his strongest rivals
It used to be Arsenal, now it's Chelsea.
"It's really amazing to win the championship with an unbeaten record, but I don't think they are good at all, in fact, I think Ye Qiu has changed, he is no longer as passionate and full of attacking desire as the previous Ajax manager, now he has become very conservative, especially the so-called unbeaten record, which makes him and his team more conservative"
'We lost the league title early last season and a big factor was injuries, which is still a problem even now, we have eight players injured and another important factor is Rio Ferdinand's suspension, but luckily by the end of September my centre-back will be back and I'm sure we'll be able to show everyone what we're capable of in the new season.
As for new signing Alan Smith, Ferguson believes he is a player who was born to play for the Red Devils: "He has been full of energy and passion in training and in games, he has impressed us all, we have a very high opinion of him, he will be successful at Manchester United. ”
Regarding the provocation from Ferguson, Ye Qiu also told the media at the pre-match press conference after leading the team to Cardiff, "Winning the Premier League with an unbeaten record has earned us the respect of every fan, and I believe everyone knows how we play, but Sir Alex Ferguson obviously cannot accept the reality that he and his Red Devils no longer have the Premier League dominance, and since last season, the Premier League has been dyed blue by us"
"I don't know what Sir Alex Ferguson thinks we're conservative about, but I know that we beat Manchester United twice, and there's a 0 at Stamford Bridge, maybe he thinks it's still too conservative, then I'm sure my players will play a more attacking score in this Community Shield game.
"Is 40 good? If it's not good, we'll go for 0 or even 0 in short, and hopefully we can satisfy Jazz."
