After the news of Kenyon's dismissal from Chelsea spread through the media, the English football world suddenly burst into applause. No one said a word of regret for Kenyon who ended up like this. Even George chose to add insult to injury by not offering a position to his former colleague and friend after Kenyon was laid off. It can be seen from this that in the past few years as Chelsea CEO, Kenyon's behavior of poaching people and arbitrarily cutting off competitors has caused many people to be dissatisfied and hostile towards him!
In this regard, Manchester City in the previous life obviously did much better than Kenyon. Despite the fact that Blue Moon has been playing a role in the transfer market since the Arab tycoons took over, Manchester City has done the best and the shrewdest thing in the transfer market. It has spent money on purchases during its rise. Most of the players are the main players of non-rich clubs (such as Kompany, De Jong, Lescott, Gareth Barry, etc.). As for those players who transferred from wealthy clubs, they are basically stars who have clearly shown their willingness to leave the team before Manchester City made the move (such as Robinho, Yaya Toure, Kolo Toure, Adebayor wait). ===『The new book of beacon fire opera princes:
Tiandao Library』 ===. Therefore, even if Manchester City finally pays a high price to successfully take away a certain star from these wealthy clubs, it will basically not affect the relationship with the other party!
This approach of not directly harming the interests and face of other wealthy clubs as much as possible gave Manchester City a more relaxed space for growth, and ultimately allowed it to successfully break the "BIG4" monopoly on Champions League seats and become another powerful team. The team that aspires to win the Premier League title!
Maybe some people will point out that Manchester City has poached Adebayor and Kolo Toure, two Arsenal generals, and think that the above paragraph is nonsense. Sorry, Arsenal at that period could basically be said to be in a state where anyone could sell it except Fabregas and Wenger themselves, so Adebayor and Kolo Toure insisted on jumping ship to join Manchester City. It made the Gunners extremely angry, but it didn't actually make Arsenal and Manchester City become sworn enemies. Not to mention, in the eyes of most people, Arsenal sold their captains and main players every year (Vieira in 2005, Ashley Cole, Pires and Campbell in 2006, Henry and Forla in 2007). The behavior of Mini, Hleb and Gilberto in 2008, etc.) has made it difficult to call it a wealthy club!
Chelsea, on the other hand, not only intercepts the prey that the giants (especially Manchester United) have been watching for a long time, but also always openly uses some unsightly tricks. For example, in the Mikel incident this time, even if Kenyon relied on Abramovich's financial resources to defeat Manchester United head-on and forcibly spent a lot of pounds on the Nigerian youngster, it would not have caused such strong dissatisfaction from Ferguson. As a result, the former Chelsea CEO chose the easiest way to intensify conflicts. When Mikel had already initialed a contract with Manchester United, he forcibly intercepted Mikel and took the Nigerian to Stamford Bridge!
Too domineering and arrogant in the transfer market, leaving no room for error. With this method, although Chelsea was able to win the Premier League championship in the second year after Abramovich took over at Stamford Bridge, it also laid the foundation for the future - Tottenham refused to sell Modric to Chelsea, but they were willing to sell Modric to Chelsea. It was sold to Real Madrid at a similar price; Everton also tried every means to block Stones' transfer and eventually sold him to Manchester City; in the ensuing Southampton carve-up, Chelsea failed to get a piece of the pie. , can only watch the Saints being carved up by other Premier League powers... From these transactions, we can vaguely see the tough attitude of other English clubs towards the Blues!
When the economy is in recession, if you wave money to poach people without showing any mercy, then don't blame your opponents for regaining their composure and then joining forces to stage a joint siege!
"Alex, that guy Peter (Kenyon) has left Chelsea." After learning the news of Kenyon's dismissal, George immediately made a phone call and told Ferguson the good news, "Yes. Having learned the lessons from this time, I believe Chelsea will be more restrained in the transfer market in the future."
"Thanks, George. For me, the dismissal of that bastard Kenyon is the best news." After receiving George's notice, Ferguson's mood instantly improved a lot, and he smiled on the phone and replied, "No. With this traitor’s advice, it’s impossible for Chelsea to cause so much trouble for me in the transfer market like they are now!”
Ferguson wasn't talking nonsense. In fact, it was Kenyon's presence that made several of Ferguson's reinforcement actions so easily detected and intercepted by Chelsea. Since he served as CEO of Manchester United, Kenyon's recruitment ideas and specifics for the Red Devils were The process is so familiar that he can analyze the Red Devils' recruitment plan by tracking the actions of Manchester United scouts or other staff, and thus launch a highly targeted attack on the Red Devils in the transfer market!
And that's exactly what happened. After Kenyon resigned, although Chelsea could still make waves in international football with the strong financial resources of their own boss, the Blues' recruitment level dropped a notch compared to Kenyon's period - Kenyon's period , Chelsea’s bench is the deepest in Europe, and there are a lot of elite players sitting on the bench. After he left, Chelsea's lineup deteriorated from strength to strength. By the time George crossed over, the Blues even had a shortage of personnel at positions such as center back and forward!
Just when George finally settled the conflict between Manchester United and Chelsea and warned Abramovich with practical actions, the English football world was plunged into turmoil because of another person's death-seeking behavior. ——Under the careful planning of the "News of the World", the head coach of the Three Lions and the famous Swedish coach Eriksson broke the "Chiefsgate" incident that shocked the entire English football world!
Yes, although most of the English media are quarreling with their counterparts in Catalonia due to George's relationship, the "Chiefgate" incident still happened as in the previous life, and the famous Swedish coach was completely cheated. !
Mazhar Mahmoud, a journalist who specializes in using disguises to get close to his targets and extract news, once again became famous with this incident. He disguised himself as a sheikh from Dubai and sent Eriksson and his The agent deceived everyone and got a lot of information from the Swedes!
Of course, to reach this point, it can only be blamed on Eriksson himself for being too complacent. If the Swedes could still maintain the same cautious style when they first took office, and would not make any negative comments when faced with temptations from all sides, instead of showing a mercenary face like this time and commenting on their international players, So how could he create such a big trap? !
no Zuo no Die. This time, Erikson used practical actions to personally verify the correctness of this sentence!
