Li Ang felt a little helpless.

He didn't suspect that Lafayette deliberately released a transfer scandal after he rejected it.

Real Madrid's top management is not so unsophisticated.

Nine times out of ten, it was the transfer news that Marca newspaper got through their "informants" in Real Madrid.

When Mourinho was still coaching at Real Madrid, he would be annoyed every season because the team's internal information was revealed by the newspaper "Marca" or "As".

These two Madrid newspapers and periodicals have always been traffic-oriented, and they don't care about the situation of Real Madrid's public opinion.

Now the news that Real Madrid's top management wants to try to reintroduce Leon is making a lot of noise in the world sports arena.

Li Ang was also plagued by the sudden trouble, and before he could explain to the team's coaching staff and the club's hierarchy, the phone calls from both sides were already coming one after another.

"Is it really just the unilateral will of the Real Madrid hierarchy? Leon, tell me honestly now, what do you think yourself? I don't mean to blame you, no matter what decision you make, I will respect it. ”

After listening to Leon's general description and explanation of this matter, Mourinho did not choose to reveal it, but went straight to the knife and asked Leon what he thought.

No way, this is a call from Real Madrid, of course, there are some active players in the four major leagues who are not interested in Real Madrid, but the number is too rare.

Not to mention that Real Madrid is still Leon's parent team.

Now that Leon has proven himself at Chelsea, if Galeries Lafayette really promises to give him the status and treatment of the team's top name, will he be able to resist the temptation to stay at Chelsea?

Mourinho thinks that if he were Leon, he would at least be tempted to consider the feasibility of facilitating a transfer.

After all, he had already achieved great success at Inter, but the invitation from Galeries Lafayette still made him tempted.

This is a very realistic question, and his relationship with Li Ang is close enough, so he can not be taboo, go straight to the point, and ask Li Ang what he really thinks at this time.

"Honestly, sir, Real Madrid has a special place in my heart and I can't say for sure what will happen in the future.

It's like you told me before: anything can happen in the transfer market.

But at least in this summer window, my answer is that I will stay at Chelsea!

We have unfinished business, and I wouldn't choose to betray my coach and team at such a juncture, you know me, and you can trust me in this matter. ”

Leon gave his own answer, he did not deceive Mourinho, and his reply was quite sincere.

And Mourinho heard him say this, and finally let out a long breath on the other end of the phone.

Mourinho was very pleased with Leon's sincerity, and the two ended the call after a few more brief conversations.

However, shortly after Mourinho hung up, Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich also called Leon personally.

"Hello, Mr. President......"

The personal relationship between Abu and Leon is not as close as that between Leon and Mourinho.

But in the past two years, Abu has indeed been very good to Leon, and the two can at least be called close friends in private.

So after a brief polite sentence, Abu also went straight to the point, like Mourinho, asked Leon about Real Madrid's contact with him.

Naturally, Leon took the trouble to explain it to Abu again.

After receiving Li Ang's affirmative reply, Abu also put his mind at ease and began to let the club's public relations department vigorously refute the rumors.

At the official level of the club, Real Madrid at this time had little movement, and did not take the initiative to clarify or rush to explain in the face of the transfer scandal.

Chelsea have issued several press releases in quick succession and have also contacted the mouthpiece newspaper to help clarify.

However, the more anxious Chelsea seemed at this time, the more neutral fans speculated that Leon and Real Madrid had really reached a transfer agreement.

After all, in recent years, the real and false news in the transfer market are often mixed, and the transfer involving superstars is always endless.

Seeing that the heat of public opinion had not subsided, Li Ang cooperated with the club on his personal social media.

He said that he has not discussed any transfer matters with the Real Madrid management at all, and he is now actively preparing for the new season of the Premier League.

He personally stood up to speak, and the Chelsea fans were finally relieved, and they still believed in Leon's character very much.

is that a large number of Real Madrid fans are not reconciled, and they are still repeatedly pushing Real Madrid officials to confirm the authenticity of the club's news of welcoming back Li Ang.

This transfer incident has reached this point, and it is not far from subsidence.

Leon also repeatedly promised his teammates that he would not leave Chelsea this summer window, which finally calmed the doubts in the hearts of his teammates.

But just as calm was gradually returning to the Chelsea first team, and the new and old players were preparing to travel to the United States with the coaching staff to start training, another transfer rumor related to Leon once again detonated the football world.

This transfer rumor has nothing to do with Real Madrid, but suddenly intervened, revealing that he was going to introduce Leon's big Paris!

Good guys, Leon doesn't know what the top brass of Grand Paris thinks.

He only explained the transfer turmoil in many ways on the front foot, but the upright big Paris back foot put him on the hot search in football again!

He also doesn't know if Nassr saw the transfer rumors that Real Madrid wanted to welcome him back, thinking that he really wanted to leave Chelsea.

Frustrated, he called Mendes directly and asked Mendes to tell Paris clearly that he would stay in the team this summer.

However, the text message Mendes sent back to Leon later made Leon cry and laugh.

'Al-Nasser asked me to convey his apologies to you, he thought you wanted to leave Chelsea this summer, and he told you that if you want to try a new challenge one day, Paris will always be open to you.

Paris will make you an offer with an absolutely sincere offer, and he will ask the club to build a new team around you that can compete for the Champions League. ”

This......

Well, Leon can be regarded as experiencing Paris Saint-Germain, or Nasser's "sincerity" towards him.

When he decided to leave Real Madrid, Paris made a very high offer for him as one of the contenders.

He also heard Ibrahimovic later say that at that time, Nasser wanted to directly smash the liquidated damages to negotiate with Real Madrid.

But the rest of the Parisian hierarchy decided not to rush so much, so in the end Chelsea got the lead.

He didn't know the truth of this matter, after all, Ibrahimovic had only heard about it.

But now it seems that Grand Paris is indeed full of sincerity, and as soon as it hears the slightest bit of wind and grass, it immediately comes to offer again.

It's a pity that Li Ang has no interest in going to Paris to be Director Li and get the highest salary in football.

He could only say sorry to Nasser from the bottom of his heart......

On July 20, Li Ang boarded a plane to New York, USA.

After the departure of many veterans, Chelsea now officially complete the transfer of only one Suarez.

In addition to the promotion of Loftus-Cheek and Kurt Zouma from the second team, several other transfers are still under negotiation.

So Chelsea's first-team squad now looks leaner and not as big as last season.

After arriving at the temporary training base, the whole Chelsea squad also seized the time to continue to work on the fine-tuned new starting line-up and tactics.

Compared to last season's starting line-up, Chelsea will see changes in both the forward and defensive line-ups.

First and foremost is the center forward position.

After Ibrahimovic left the team and moved to Milan, Suarez, who Chelsea spent a lot of money to bring in, is naturally the team's main center forward in the new season.

At the back, it was John Terry who voluntarily chose to step aside, and Mourinho finally decided to promote Harry Maguire to the starting line-up.

John Terry was undoubtedly solid last season, with his centre-back partnership with Thiago Silva putting a hard time on both the Premier League and Champions League pitches.

With no problems with his fitness and form, he was able to secure a starting spot at Chelsea and Jose Mourinho didn't want to put him on the bench so early.

It was Terry himself who suggested to Mourinho to fix Maguire for the new season and see how effective Ma Datou and Thiago Silva's starting partnership were.

His current game form is relatively stable, but after all, as soon as the new season starts, he will be 35 years old.

Chelsea played on four fronts last season, and despite the coaching staff having been doing a scientific rotation, he felt inadequate at the end of the season.

Playing as a heavy and sluggish centre-back in a league like the Premier League is very physically draining and dependent.

He seems to be okay now, but as long as he declines in the next season or two, he will basically fall off a cliff.

Vidic's example is there.

Vidic, who is a year younger, was still able to play a good quality game for Manchester United in the 13-14 season.

As a result, as soon as he transferred to Inter Milan last season, he did not adapt to the rhythm of the new league and his own form declined, and the former captain of Manchester United directly sat on the bench and became a marginal man of Inter.

That's a big gap!

John Terry has now fulfilled his Champions League dream at Chelsea, and he still hopes to have a successful end at Chelsea rather than a bad end in his later years.

So slowly stepping out of the current Chelsea first-team starting line-up and continuing to shine on the bench is a very smart choice for Terry.

Of course, given the opportunity to Maguire, he must also use his strength to prove that he can seize it.

Otherwise, Gary Cahill on the bench would still be trying to get back into the starting line-up.

The capable, the mediocre, Chelsea in the new season can also plan to complete the dynasty of three consecutive Premier League titles, and the starting positions in the team are all strong.

Maguire has worked hard in training during this time, and in order to strengthen his flexibility, he has lost a lot of weight.

However, Li Ang could see that he was a little nervous, and usually comforted him.

In contrast, Suarez, who has already secured the main starting position when he first arrived, looks much more confident.

He's not a high-school striker in the traditional sense.

However, his wider range of activities and more aggressive defensive attitude than Ibrahimovic are more in line with the current trend of football for a new type of center forward.

And his role as a fulcrum in the front court is not bad, even if it is not as good as Ibrahimovic after the transformation of his style of play, but it is completely sufficient.

Coupled with the keen sense of smell in front of goal and the all-round technical attributes shown in training.

Now Suarez has already conquered his new teammates in terms of strength.

Chelsea's coaching staff is just waiting to see how much Suarez could reach in the game.

In the past, it could be said that Liverpool's squad was a drag on Suarez, but now there is no such thing in Chelsea's midfield configuration...

On the afternoon of 23 July, the Chelsea squad travelled to Red Bull Park in New Jersey for a pre-season friendly against the New York Red Bulls.

Chelsea are now star-studded, and their appearance at Red Bull Park as the new Champions League champions was immediately greeted with enthusiastic cheers from a large crowd.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the appearance of Chelsea's entire team online~

In particular, when the live broadcast camera switched to the pre-game ceremonial procession, and when it was aimed at Leon and Kroos standing together, the scene burst out with huge screams and cheers!

This friendly match against Chelsea was all about validating the progress of the run-in up front.

So from the very beginning of the game, the whole Chelsea team pressed heavily and launched a strong siege on the New York Red Bulls.

Leon and Kroos once again almost pressed to the opponent's doorstep to organize the attack, and Suarez also enjoyed the joy of eating cake today.

After only half an hour or so of the first half, both teams contributed a full four goals.

On Chelsea's side, Luis Suarez scored twice and Leon scored from distance, but it was also because of the heavy pressure that Chelsea were seized by the New York Red Bulls to score a goal on the counter-attack.

Suarez scored an early hat-trick in the 53rd minute in the second half before being replaced by Jose Mourinho with Romelu Lukaku.

Chelsea also made a massive substitution, with Ake, Karas, Mohamed Salah and even Kurt Zouma and even Loftus-Cheek all getting time in the small half.

Chelsea got the United States off to a flying start to pre-season with a 3-6 win over the New York Red Bulls.

In order to achieve the purpose of verifying the degree of run-in of the front, it also gave the host face.

Suarez lived up to the expectations of his Chelsea supporters and was impressive in this friendly match, scoring a hat-trick in just 50 minutes and scoring with great efficiency!

Li Ang only received the statistics of passing today, but he also only played half a friendly before being substituted, and his performance was normal.

After returning to the hotel, Leon and Mendes, who had travelled to the United States in person, waited for Chelsea's contract renewal negotiation team.

This is not the renewal negotiations that Leon has requested, but rather the needs of the Chelsea hierarchy.

Abu is also determined to complete the renewal of his contract with Leon.

He now wonders what Real Madrid will do when Chelsea offer Leon his first annual salary in football.
