Chapter 170 The Dust Settles (2)
Rafael Benítez, the 44-year-old head coach, helped Valencia win two La Liga titles in the first three years of the 21st century. His achievements were very remarkable, so Liverpool, which had been performing poorly, took a fancy to him.
After Benítez came to Liverpool, he carried out drastic reforms on the team. A large number of players such as Heskey, Gillespie, Murphy, etc. were cleared out. In response to the team's insufficient offensive ability, he specifically requested the introduction of some young stars to supplement the team's strength.
Therefore, Xabi Alonso and Luis Garcia came here one after another, but this could not meet his tactical requirements. At this time, Wang Li's outstanding performance in the European Cup attracted the attention of Benítez, and he decided to introduce this strong young man to consolidate the team's strength.
However, due to the poor performance in recent years, the club's finances are already stretched. If Wang Li is forced to be introduced, the club will have no other funds to buy other players. You know, the transfer window has just opened for less than a month. Therefore, Benitez decided to sell Michael Owen. He believes that the role of such a heavyweight star in the team is not proportional to the salary he receives.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he made this decision, he also lost the opportunity to get Wang Li forever.
In any case, Rita has returned to London and started formal negotiations with Chelsea regarding Wang Li's transfer.
With a boss who can spend money at will, Chelsea is indeed confident enough. The transfer fee and player treatment proposed by Chelsea are much better than those of Liverpool. They offered a transfer fee of 15 million pounds, which would allow Wang Li to transfer out of Wolverhampton in a grand manner, and they also promised to prepare a big contract for Wang Li with a weekly salary of more than 80,000 pounds. You know, in Liverpool, Owen's weekly salary is only 70,000 pounds.
Moreover, they also promised that after the contract was signed, Rita could get a 2 million pound "signing fee"...
However, the main position cannot be guaranteed, and the stubborn head coach Mourinho will not agree to such relevant terms. However, Wang Li does not care about these at all. He has enough confidence in his personal ability. Although he is still dissatisfied with his current strength, as long as he can break through the bottleneck in his heart in recent years, at least in football, he will never be worse than any star.
Of course, the main position must be won by relying on one's own strength. Without strength, no matter how good the terms are, they will be of no avail. He understands the principle of the survival of the fittest, although this statement is a bit serious.
In general, Chelsea gave almost all the approvals in terms of player treatment, which made the negotiations go very smoothly and were completed in almost two hours. Rita couldn't help but sigh at the difference between the 'rich' and the 'poor'. She vowed to only deal with such 'real' wealthy families in the future!
One can’t help but sigh that in modern football, the pound is king!
…………
On July 10, Chelsea’s official website released another explosive news: Wolverhampton superstar Alan Wong officially joined Chelsea with a transfer fee of 15 million pounds!
One stone can cause a thousand ripples!
What surprised the media was that Miss Andrea, who was negotiating with Liverpool yesterday, suddenly changed her attitude and reached an agreement with Chelsea. However, these smart reporters immediately linked this matter to Michael Owen's transfer. Although they did not know the personal relationship between Owen and Wang Li, this did not hinder their wild ideas.
Why did Miss Andre go to negotiate with Liverpool? You know, Allen is a loyal Arsenal fan!
Why did Owen transfer to Real Madrid and Miss Andre quickly changed her attitude and reached an agreement with Chelsea!
The answer is obvious!
Liverpool lost England's golden boy for pounds, and now, they have missed the chance to play with the 'Dancing Master'. It's really ironic!
Such remarks have made the situation even worse for Mr. Moores, the notorious club chairman in recent years. The fans of the city of Liverpool are already on the brink of a volcanic eruption. Fans can be seen demonstrating in front of the Liverpool club every day, which constantly frightens Moores' nerves.
Perhaps the team that most hopes to see this situation is their city rivals Everton. Although they have been boycotted by fans this year for wanting to sell the team's rising star Wayne Rooney, they seem to be doing pretty well compared to Liverpool.
…………
Now, England's superstar has also joined the 'pound team', which makes Chelsea's lineup seem even stronger.
Looking at this team built purely with British pounds, the media were all amazed: Didier Drogba, Paulo Ferreira, Arjen Robben, Ricardo Carvalho, Alan Wong, plus Frank Lampard, John Terry, Claude Makelele, Joe Cole, Wayne Bridge...
Generally speaking, the current British team is no worse than the England team!
This made the media exclaim, "The evil wolf is really coming!"
Regardless, the fate of England's 'Dancing Master' has finally been settled!
Perhaps, this is good news for all three parties: Chelsea got the players they wanted and they don't care about the pound; Wolverhampton got an extra 5 million pounds and they don't care about the fans' reaction; Wang Li got a good contract and a group of good teammates.
Rita...received her first large sum of money - 2 million pounds.
Rita was certainly not the kind of black-hearted agent who would do anything for money. Besides, she liked Wang Li, so on the day of signing the contract, she went to Wang Li’s parents’ villa, told Wang Li about the matter in person, and wanted to return the money to him.
However, for Wang Li, this was nothing. She would be his woman in the future anyway, so he could just regard it as the 'price' he paid in advance.
"If you really feel guilty, then... stay tonight." Wang Li looked at Rita expectantly, holding her little hand, and said attentively.
As Wang Li said this, the atmosphere in the room became ambiguous. Rita collapsed on the sofa with a blushing face. She wanted to pull her hand out, but was reluctant. She seemed to be moved by Wang Li's eyes.
Just when Wang Li was laughing in his heart and thought he had succeeded this time, Rita suddenly became ashamed and angry. She picked up the cushion on the sofa and threw it directly on Wang Li's head, "Do you think I'm a prostitute? You bastard!"
"No, that's not what I meant." Wang Li was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly explained.
"What does that mean?"
"That's right. Well, think about it. Is there anything in the world that expensive...?"
"What?"
“…”
"Oh, you're saying I'm not worth the price?"
"It's definitely worth it! Not to mention two million, it's worth twenty million!" Wang Li waved his hands, sweating all over.
"So I'm still a whore?"
“…”
Wang Li looked at Rita helplessly. He felt that arguing with a woman was a mistake, so he decided to respond with silence.
"So? You have nothing to say, right? You just think about these things all day long!" Rita let out a long sigh, and looking at these silly guys, she put her hands behind her back and secretly made a 'V' sign.
"By the way, here is the card. The password is your birthday. I'm leaving now."
………….
"Oh, women are all inexplicable creatures." Before entering the training, Wang Li murmured to himself with emotion.
So, Wang Li spent this beautiful night practicing alone, even though he knew that this would not help him break through the mental barrier at all...
