, wonderful and free of pop-ups! PS1: Thank you all book friends for your strong support. I am really grateful. Today’s update will be delivered on time~ Also, by the way, please collect, click and recommend here...
PS2: We have to start work again today, and we will work hard to ensure continuous updates... Of course, if we are suddenly sent out on a business trip by the unit, then we can only say sorry at that time. But I always feel that discontinuing updates is really unrealistic for me.
Zahavi, who had already left George's residence, would naturally not know at this time that the "certain things" George said were not the same thing as what he understood. But one thing the Israelis know very well is that George, whom he is optimistic about, will definitely not agree to his invitation to replace Ranieri, who Abramovich looks down upon, as Chelsea's head coach in the new season.
Although there are countless lies in this world, and the football world is a place where smoke bombs are frequent, Zahavi believes that the authenticity of what George said is still guaranteed. On the one hand, it is because with George's current identity and status, there is no need for him to lie to Zahavi, who has only developed in the field of football agents; on the other hand, it is because such lies can be easily exposed, and once exposed, If it is proven that George was lying at that time, neither party's faces will look good.
Therefore, after George said that he had already had considerable contact with Tottenham and it was inconvenient to discuss with Chelsea, Zahavi decisively gave up on recruiting the other party and turned to other candidates.
Of course, although in Zahavi's view, George is indeed the best candidate to lead Chelsea, which is currently only a member of the second tier of the Premier League, into a top club, this does not mean that George is the only target on his candidate list. For example, Valencia coach Rafael Benitez, Deportivo La Coruna coach Irueta, Dutch coach Louis van Gaal, who has been unemployed since being fired by Barcelona, etc., these are famous names in European football. Head coaches are all on Zahavi’s contact list.
"However, if Chelsea wants to become the third pole of the Premier League, or even surpass Manchester United and Arsenal, and become the new king of English football, the difficulty may be much higher than previously expected." Zahavi thought worriedly as he entered the car. Obviously, the news that George revealed in previous exchanges about his intention to coach at Tottenham gave the Israeli agent a lot of sense of crisis, and he was not as optimistic about Chelsea's future prospects as before. .
Zahavi has witnessed the abilities of the Premier League's number one young coach with his own eyes over the past six months. Therefore, Israelis have the feeling that it may be much more difficult for Chelsea to rise as quickly as Abramovich envisioned. Because Tottenham Hotspur got George, it is very likely that they will soar in the Premier League like Manchester United did when they got Alex Ferguson 17 years ago.
"Fortunately, it seems that the butterfly effect I brought has not had much impact on the world. Abramovich chose to join Chelsea at this time just like in his previous life." On the other side, Zahavi sent away George lay facelessly on the sofa, lamenting that Abramovich was about to become the owner of Chelsea, "If he had chosen Tottenham instead of Chelsea, then I would have to go and talk to that greedy guy Ken Bates right now. Discussing the acquisition of Chelsea."
Compared with the ENIC Group, which has just entered the football world and currently only owns 29.9% of Tottenham's shares, Bates, who has been at Stamford Bridge for 21 years, has much greater control over Chelsea, and Chelsea's debt problem is also More serious than Tottenham. This means that if George wants to win Chelsea, he will have to pay a higher price than acquiring Tottenham. Therefore, the person who is most fortunate that Abramovich purchased Chelsea instead of Tottenham, which is also located in London, must be George.
While he was thankful that the wheel of history had not changed much, George was also using his brain rapidly, thinking about how to avoid a collision with Chelsea in the transfer market, that is, he and the other party were interested in a certain player at the same time. This has led to the phenomenon of both parties raising prices wildly from each other during transfers. This is not to say that George is worried that he will not be able to compete with Abramovich financially, but because in this way, even if he gets the players he wants, he will definitely have to spend more budget in the transfer market, and as a result, he will get a better deal from the seller. .
When you clearly know that you can acquire a certain player for 10 million US dollars, but because of the price increase of your competitors, you have to spend twice as much to get the transfer. It must be difficult for anyone. Something you hope to encounter, right? What's more, even if George is really cruel and lets Tottenham and Chelsea compete for financial resources in the transfer market, I am afraid that players will be more willing to choose Chelsea, which is qualified for the Champions League, rather than not even getting a European Cup berth. Tottenham's.
And if he fails to get the target player, then George will face more serious consequences-at that time, George, whose transfer target is snatched away by Chelsea, will have to change the plan he has made and look for other players who meet his requirements. of players. As a result, Tottenham's pre-season preparations and running-in will be greatly affected, which will have a negative impact on the results of the new season.
Therefore, how to avoid a head-on conflict with Abramovich, who is waving rubles to enter the football world, in the transfer market is what George needs to consider most now.
But having said that, even if the world has a variable like George, after Abramovich successfully takes over Chelsea, he will probably be like in his previous life, frantically attacking Manchester United and Arsenal on all fronts, two of the top teams in English football. Club's. After all, compared with Tottenham's tepid performance, challenging the first-tier clubs in the Premier League such as Manchester United and Arsenal is the primary target that Abramovich needs to deal with after winning Chelsea.
Therefore, Ferguson and Wenger should be the ones who have the biggest headache about Chelsea's imminent evolution into a Ruble Army. Because if Chelsea wants to become the hegemon of the Premier League, they will definitely spare no effort to cause trouble for them, such as snatching their favorite targets in the transfer market, or even more ruthlessly, directly poaching players from Manchester United and Arsenal!
Chelsea had done this kind of thing quite well in their previous life. From Robben and Cech at the beginning, to Mikel, Wright-Phillips and Ashley Cole later, to Juan Mata and Pedro, Manchester United and Arsenal were intercepted by Chelsea midway. Hu’s examples are countless.
It can be said that on Chelsea's road to the top giants, the blood and tears of veteran Premier League giants such as Arsenal and Manchester United are all at their feet. But then again, if one general succeeds, thousands of bones will die. If Chelsea did not rely on this kind of forced robbery and crazy spending of money, it would be impossible for Chelsea to become a recognized top powerhouse in just two years.
George doesn't think that the managers of other Premier League clubs really know nothing about Abramovich's arrival at Chelsea. Even if they don't know the details, they will know that a Russian tycoon who doesn't care about money as much as Moratti is about to enter English football and intends to change the main theme of the Premier League from a two-person team to a three-person team.
However, both Ferguson and Wenger underestimated Abramovich's impact on the Premier League structure, and also overestimated the attraction of Manchester United and Arsenal to players. In other words, they have not fully adapted to the era after the emergence of the Bosman Act. They think that they can easily recruit good players by relying on the reputation of traditional giants as before. They have not realized that today's players pay more attention to individuals. Treatment and development prospects, rather than just a sign of a wealthy family.
It was precisely because of these negligences of Ferguson and Wenger that they did not respond quickly enough to the issue of the Russian taking over at Stamford Bridge. As a result, Manchester United and Arsenal suffered a lot in the transfer market, and the backbone of the team was also eliminated. The Blues poached quite a few. Especially Arsenal, under the targeted attacks from competitors such as Chelsea and the huge financial pressure brought by the construction of a new stadium, the Gunners, who suffered serious blood loss, were reduced from a championship team to a top-four monster in the eyes of the media and fans. People are frustrated.
In this way, although the news of Abramovich taking over Chelsea has not yet been made public, a super storm from Russia has quietly taken shape over London without Ferguson and others noticing, and is preparing to sweep across England and even the rest of the world. All of European football!
Of course, what is even more unexpected is that the storm caused by Abu is not the only thing that exists in the sky above the foggy city at this time. George is also making preparations secretly, looking for an opportunity to win the Tottenham Hotspur Club in one fell swoop! And this opportunity is getting closer and closer to George.

Trafalgar Square, Westminster, London.
This is one of the most famous squares and tourist attractions in the UK. It was completed in 1805 at the beginning of the last century. Its purpose was to commemorate the Royal Navy admiral who died in the Battle of Trafalgar Head and was a symbol of the maritime supremacy of the British Empire. National hero Horatio Nelson. Over the past two hundred years, the square has gradually evolved into a gathering place for London citizens to hold celebrations or demonstrations. The victory of the Napoleonic War, the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne, the Chartist Movement... almost all the major events of the empire in the past two hundred years were witnessed by this square, so that unknowingly, this square It has occupied a very important position in the hearts of the British people.
The square is located on the main traffic thoroughfare of Westminster. It is connected to the government office area "Whitehall" and the Parliament Building of Westminster Palace to the south. To the southwest is the famous Admiralty Gate, and behind it is the Royal Guard of Honor Boulevard leading to Buckingham Palace. To the north is the British National Gallery... In the middle of the square to the south, the most eye-catching building in the square - the 53-meter-high Nelson's Column - is standing there. At the top of the memorial column is a statue of Viscount Horatio Nelson made from French firearms captured during the Battle of Trafalgar Head. This statue majestically overlooks Trafalgar Square below, showing off the hegemony that once belonged to the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets."
"Long time no see, my lord ancestor." Standing in front of the memorial column, George looked up at the statue of the first Viscount Nelson, filled with emotion in his heart, "Although I don't have as strong a patriotism as you, I can't never set the sun again. The empire dominates the world, but I still ask for your blessing so that I can make my dream come true, successfully complete this acquisition, and fulfill my dream of building a football version of the Royal Navy."
"Boss, I finally found you." Just as George secretly prayed to his cheap ancestor, a very familiar voice came from behind, "Everything is done, we have successfully acquired the stock from the stock market. Now that we have acquired 9.9% of Tottenham’s shares, will you take the next step as planned?” (Note: British law stipulates that once the holding of a company reaches 10%, the shareholder or company must disclose this to the outside world. information.)
"Oh? It's so fast..." George said as he threw out the last handful of birdseed in his hand and walked out of the flock of white pigeons that had gathered in an instant. "In that case, we only need to wait for another one. People, you can officially start taking action!”
