Chapter 174 Chelsea in the new season (1)

The schedule of the Premier League has always been tight, and with the European Cup this year, the time left for these players to take a break is even more limited. On July 5, the European Cup final ended, and on August 14 was the first round of the Premier League. This intensive schedule forced these Premier League stars to end their vacation early and return to the club to report.

The same was true for Wang Li. More than a week after returning home, on July 27, he stepped into the door of Chelsea Club.

Today may be a memorable day. Not only did Wang Li officially enter Chelsea, but what mattered to him more was that from today on he had his own residence. Yes, his own residence.

Although Wang Li's parents live in a residential area next to the University of London, Chelsea still arranged a private villa for him, located next to the Stamford Bridge. Led by the staff, Wang Li walked into his new home. This is a luxurious villa with a European style, even more luxurious than Tina's house: a small back garden, swimming pool, gym, etc., excellent location, and very luxurious decoration.

Wang Li is very satisfied with this villa. Although he does not care too much about his daily life, he is not an ascetic. He will enjoy it if he can. Chelsea is indeed the richest club in the Premier League. He has received such good treatment just after joining the team, which makes Wang Li feel a little good about it. Although money is not omnipotent, no one will refuse a better life.

"Are you satisfied here?"

"Very good." Wang Li turned around and nodded with satisfaction.

"Mr. Abu specifically asked me to give you this house. He is very optimistic about your future."

"Mr. Chairman?" Wang Li was stunned, wondering if his transfer was due to this Russian tycoon? However, he did not show his doubts, but just politely replied: "I am very satisfied, please thank Mr. Chairman for me."

Wang Li was of course very satisfied. After all, getting a villa in a wealthy area of ​​London for free was a rare opportunity. He knew that this was the club's way of showing goodwill to him and also a treat for him. He hoped that he could show his strength to help the team achieve better results.

However, Wang Li is very confident in his own abilities. After nearly a year of Premier League, European Cup and other competitions, he is no longer a rookie and has a certain understanding of his own abilities. Coupled with a group of strong teammates in Chelsea, he can't wait for the new season!

…………

August is the hottest month in the European transfer market every year, because the big transfers in the summer usually happen during this period. This year's transfer market is even more hot, and frequent transfers have created many big deals. According to statistics, there have been 19 player transactions worth more than 10 million.

The European Cup has always been a booster for the transfer market, and this year is no exception. However, this year's transfer market is centered on the Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich. The powerful chairman of Chelsea has spent another 100 million euros without any hesitation, which has not only greatly enhanced the strength of Chelsea, but also stimulated the five major leagues, and made the Portuguese and Russian Premier Leagues leap to the top, becoming the most active growth point of the European football economy.

However, this has nothing to do with Chelsea. For Abrahimovic, the enhancement of the team's strength is what he most wants to see. Only in this way can he win more honors for the team and for himself.

It can be said that Abramovich's investment is a drop in the bucket for him, but it makes other clubs salivate. What can 100 million euros bring? A lot! You know, a medium-sized Premier League club is only worth tens of millions of euros.

Perhaps this is also Mourinho's luck. After two and a half seasons of tightening his belt in Porto, he finally made it and no longer has to worry about transfer fees. As long as he wants a player, Abramovich will write a check without hesitation. Even after the players arrive at the team, he still makes some personal extra rewards - Wang Li's villa is a good example.

Although many media and fans call Chelsea the "pound team", this may be a compliment, but more of a sarcasm, but it is undeniable that it is easy to hear some sour taste from their remarks. No matter which fan doesn't want the team they support to have endless transfer fees and to attract a large number of superstars?

Of course, the same is true for Chelsea fans. Now, most Chelsea fans are very satisfied with the team. Since the Russian tycoon took over the team, the team's performance has been steadily improving, and stars have come one after another, making them overjoyed. In this summer, a large number of stars including Drogba, Cech and even Premier League superstar Allen were introduced. With the current team configuration, in the new Premier League season, Chelsea fans don't have to worry about the team's configuration, European qualification, etc. Of course, Chelsea fans will certainly not be satisfied with the team fighting for European qualification. The passion in Chelsea's bones has been completely aroused, and they deeply desire the championship trophy. Yes, Chelsea's goal is very clear---

Dominate, England!

Conquer all of Europe!

Get all the honors you have the chance to get!

This is the common goal of Chelsea in the new season, Chelsea fans in the new season, and everyone in the Chelsea club from top to bottom in the new season!!

After more than a year of hard work, Mr. Abramovich, the Russian tycoon, has already won the support of most fans. His actions this season have been supported by almost all fans, and he has given fans great hope---

"Chelsea! Chelsea! Abu! Abu!"

The fans excitedly shouted the team owner's name to express their enthusiasm and excitement! This may be the hope that several generations of Chelsea have been looking forward to for a century, how can they not be excited, how can they not be excited! !

Winning a championship once every century may mean that many loyal Chelsea fans have never seen the team’s glory in their lifetime, but now, they have seen the dawn of light. This team with a century-old history but still full of vitality seems to be not far from glory. Yes, it is very close: we have a large group of superstars, we have a strong head coach who just won the treble, and we also have a club chairman who does not care about money. Can't this create glory?

Abrahimovic untied his scarf and waved to the fans, which caused a cheer. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the cheer. The reason why he bought Chelsea and spent hundreds of millions of euros without hesitation was just to allow himself to enter the British upper class in the beginning.

And now, he found that he had fallen in love with this feeling, in love with these lovely Chelsea fans. If he could lead the team to the championship, it would be an exciting thing even for the club alone, wouldn't it?

"I will succeed!" Abu muttered to himself while being embraced by his wife.

………..

"I admire him very much. He was able to lead the Portuguese Super League team Porto to win the treble. This achievement is really rare. His ability is unquestionable. Chelsea needs such a strong coach to lead. We need honors, yes, a lot of honors."

"I admit that Chelsea's performance in history is not very good, but this cannot be a reason to hinder the development of the club. Any honor is accumulated step by step. I believe that Mr. Mourinho will definitely lead Chelsea to glory!!"

This is what Abramovich said after Mourinho arrived at Stamford Bridge. With the financial support of this tycoon, Mourinho quickly showed that he was not only a championship coach, but also a coach who spent money well.

In early July, when other clubs were still waiting for the end of the European Cup, Mourinho had already made a strong move. His goal was obvious, which was to bring back his disciples from his old club Porto.

Paulo Ferreira, Ricardo Carvalho!!

Compared to Chelsea's frontcourt, Mourinho was obviously more worried about the team's defense, so he first chose the defenders he trusted.

Then there was midfielder Elgin Robben and super striker Didier Drogba. These players were all outstanding players in the league and also had outstanding performances in the European Cup. Mourinho urgently needed such strong players to support Chelsea's offensive firepower. At this time, Chelsea had invested nearly 70 million pounds in the transfer market without realizing it. This was really a big deal!

But this may just be the beginning. A few days later, England's "Dancing Master" Alan Wong announced that he would join Chelsea, which made many clubs that were interested in this rising player at a loss! Too fast! It was too fast!

The transfer fee of 15 million pounds may be Chelsea's most successful deal this year!

Who said Chelsea was a super 'sucker'? ?

They are smart enough!! This deal is proof of that!!

You know, until now, Manchester United is still worried about Wayne Rooney, and they have raised the price to 26 million pounds! ! The same English two stars, different prices, many people may attribute this to Wang Li's own contract problems, but if Mourinho had not met all of Wang Li's requirements, how could he have won so quickly in the face of competition from other big clubs? You know, Chelsea is not a big club, no matter how eye-catching it is in the entire European football world! !

Chelsea's move also led to a series of chain reactions - a general increase in the value of players.

Many teams that have listed players for sale are waiting for willing parties to take the bait: Want players? Then please make an offer, the price must satisfy the club! What does satisfying mean? You can refer to the price offered by Chelsea, as long as it is similar to this, we will sell it! !

This has also led to many clubs that want to acquire players starting to wait and see. They know that if they wade into this muddy water now, they will inevitably have to spend a lot more money. This has caused a very strange phenomenon in this year's transfer market. In early August, the few days with the highest transaction success rate have become the time with the lowest transaction volume in the summer transfer market.

But this could not stop Mourinho and the entire Chelsea from being strong---On August 2, the Czech team's 22-year-old goalkeeper Petr Cech announced that he would join Chelsea for a transfer fee of 1,030 euros! !

Without anyone noticing, Mourinho made another move and added another big player to the team!!

There is no doubt about Petr Cech's strength. When he was 20 years old, he represented the Czech team and replaced Srnicek as the No. 1 goalkeeper of the Czech national team. He showed himself in this year's European Cup and helped the Czech team achieve a good result of the semi-finals. With his performance in this tournament, Cech attracted the attention of the entire international football world!

In the negotiations between many clubs and Rennes, Chelsea won again with its money offensive! With Cech's goal, Chelsea's defense has a more solid foundation, and the strength of the entire back line has increased a lot! !

In this fierce transfer competition, let’s take a look at what the protagonist Wang Li is doing.

"Oh my god! Alan, you are so bad! Haha!"

Inside the Chelsea Club, on a small training ground, a tall man with short hair and wearing training clothes couldn't help but laugh. It was none other than Cech, the Czech national goalkeeper who had just announced that he would join Chelsea.

Wang Li, who was standing on the right side of the penalty area, waved his hands helplessly. He just wanted to imitate Beckham's arc free kick, but the result... as you can imagine, was horrible. After being provoked by Cech, he became even more angry, so---

With a sound of "boom!", the ball flew towards the goal like lightning! !

Cech watched the ball pass by his left ear, and it took him a long time to react. He said blankly: "You... this... is... murder!!"

"Haha, the shot is still so powerful! You know, Alan's 'super shot' was trained by my great Thomas!!" A big white man with a smug smile on his face slowly walked over to the sidelines, and his opening remarks were indeed very 'attractive'.

“Alan! Hahahaha…!!”

Thomas walked up to Wang Li, patted him on the shoulder, and then burst into laughter. The people around him broke out in cold sweats. It seemed that they had deep doubts about the IQ of this new teammate.

Wang Li certainly felt the same way, he had never trusted him. However, he still smiled and shook Thomas's right hand vigorously. Although Thomas was sometimes "retarded", it was undeniable that he was a good friend!

Following their youth team career at Wolverhampton, they stood together again, this time in the focus of the Premier League and a strong contender for the league title - Chelsea Club!

'In a few years, we, the Four Little Dragons of England, will surely make a name for ourselves and make the whole world tremble at our feet!'

Perhaps this oath, which seemed a bit funny at the time, will really become a reality in the near future!!
