In fact, Abramovich is a very temperamental club chairman, because many times he will unreasonably support Mourinho's reforms to the team and support the funds needed for the team's transfer, but sometimes he will be arbitrary and want to get his favorite players regardless of the consequences, such as

Andrey Shevchenko!

This Ukrainian super striker has always been the object of Abramovich's pursuit. He played 32 times for AC Milan last season and scored the top scorer! And Sheva is also a player that Abramovich has always wanted to introduce. Unfortunately, the opponent is the Serie A super giant AC Milan. Italy's richest man Berlusconi ignored Chelsea's transfer application.

However, Abrahimovic did not give up. He has been contacting his Russian-speaking "compatriot" privately, hoping that he would agree to transfer to Chelsea. He even declared to the media that as long as Sheva could come to Stamford Bridge, he would "spare no effort"!

But in the end, at least for this summer, he failed again.

At this time, Mourinho has set his sights on Chelsea's midfield. In a team, the midfield is the hub connecting the backcourt and the frontcourt. The quality of the midfielders directly determines the team's offensive and defensive capabilities. In the current Chelsea team, the midfielders are full of talents: French general Claude Makelele, the team's pillar Frank Lampard, young player Joe Cole, Irish international Damien Duff, Dutch rising star Arjen Robben, Scott Parker, Alexia Smerkin, etc., it is really a star-studded team. In addition, the English superstar Wang Li can also play as a guest midfielder. Chelsea's front line is definitely the most luxurious "international front" in the Premier League.

However, in the new season, Chelsea will face the pressure of fighting on multiple fronts. The only goal set by Chairman Abramovich for the team is to win the championship! Yes, more championships!!

Therefore, even though the midfield is already so luxurious, Mourinho is still somewhat dissatisfied, and he has set his sights on the Portuguese Super League, the second-tier league in Europe. This has always been a birthplace of potential stars and an important base for replenishing fresh blood in the top five European leagues.

Benfica's 23-year-old midfielder Thiago Mendes caught his eye. Mendes is a midfielder with balanced offensive and defensive abilities. Although he doesn't score many goals, his dribbling and passing are of great help to the team. His role in defense is also very important. Although his "presence" on the field is not very strong, Thiago Mendes often appears in the most needed position at critical moments.

These abilities are precisely why Mourinho values ​​them. Chelsea needs such a "blue-collar worker" on the field, just like Gennaro Gattuso of AC Milan. Players who are not outstanding in the eyes of fans are often favored by head coaches because such players are an indispensable and important part of the team. This is the cornerstone of the team.

In any case, Chelsea has joined the battle for Thiago Mendes. Faced with the pressure from many "powerful teams", Benfica has no ability to retain this outstanding new star. They can only hope that Mendes can bring more transfer fees to the team.

This may be the tragedy of small and medium-sized clubs. They can only watch the stars trained by their clubs leave one by one, but they can do nothing about it.

…………

While the media were still immersed in the hot transfer market, Wang Li had already arrived at No. 25 East Soho Square in London, the headquarters of the English Football Association. He came today to receive the honorary award for the European Cup top scorer awarded by FIFA.

That’s right, the top scorer!

Although England failed to win on penalties in the quarter-finals, it was definitely a success for Wang Li personally. He scored five goals in regular time in four games, which made him tied with Czech striker Baros for first place in the scorer list. However, due to his relatively short playing time, he won the top scorer of this European Cup.

He only played in four games and was even just waiting for opportunities on the bench most of the time, but he got this honor. Perhaps this is a kind of irony to other forward players?

Faced with this rare opportunity, the British media of course hyped it up. They are very proud of the "Great Britishism" spirit and the origin of football. However, the England team's performance has not been outstanding in history, and it has been scarred in the international arena in recent years, which makes these media feel powerless to praise it. But this time they have a chance to be proud: England was eliminated on penalties, so what? We have Alan Wang who is the top scorer as a substitute! !

For Wang Li, this is the first award he has won in the field of football since he came into this world. It is very memorable!

So, when he arrived at Chelsea Club the next morning, he was even in the mood to take photos with a few fans and answer a few questions from reporters.

…………

As time goes by, Chelsea Football Club has ushered in the team's first daily training. This is the first time of the new season. Compared with last season, the team has fewer people, but there are many new faces.

Wang Li is one of them, but he is not alone, because he participated in this year's European Cup and is familiar with several England players such as Terry, Joe Cole, Bridge, Lampard, etc. However, looking at his teammates with different skin colors and strange looks, Wang Li couldn't help but sigh at the differences between the top clubs.

This is not a Premier League team at all, it should be said that it is a world team. There are very few real English players!

"Hello, are you Alan Wang?"

Wang Li was standing in the stadium, looking around at his future teammates, when suddenly a slightly awkward English voice appeared in his ears. He turned around and saw a tall, "giant" black man with his hair tied back and a "strange" smile on his face. Perhaps the so-called "child crying at night" refers to this kind of person.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Wang Li's mind, but a friendly expression appeared on his face, "Yes, you are?"

"Didier Drogba, I've seen your game, it's great." Drogba does look scary, but he's actually a nice person, at least that's what Wang Li thinks.

Didier Drogba, of course Wang Li has heard of this name. It is said that he performed very well in Ligue 1 and is a strong center forward. Moreover, he joined Chelsea this season at the highest price in the history of the Premier League, 24 million pounds. Wang Li looked at his figure and thought that as expected, his nickname is called "Warcraft". He is indeed developing into a beast. Just looking at him gives him a sense of... "security"? ? Thinking that he may become his partner in the future, his figure and appearance are indeed very credible. At least when it comes to grabbing the ball, ordinary people will definitely not be able to compete with him...

"Oh, thank you, you too."

In fact, Drogba just ended his vacation yesterday and came to London. After stepping into the club, he saw many unfamiliar faces. So Drogba, who was eager to establish a good relationship with his teammates, was optimistic about Wang Li, because this kid was obviously also a newcomer, but he seemed to be very familiar with several teammates, so he thought Wang Li must be easy to communicate with.

"I heard that you are very good at long-range shooting. You scored several goals in the European Cup and won the top scorer. How about we have a competition?" Drogba said with a dazed smile. He knew that the best way to communicate in the team is strength. No matter how you performed before or how much the club paid for your transfer, it is irrelevant to these new teammates. Only by showing your strength can you get the recognition of the team.

Although this kid performed very well in the European Cup and even won the top scorer, his ability must be not too bad, but Drogba did not think that his long-range shooting ability would be that strong. "Look at his body! It's obvious how much strength he has!"

"Okay, I'll ask Thomas to guard the door."

Wang Li smiled and accepted the challenge from the dark-faced big guy, but he found it very interesting. In his previous life, only those low-ranking farmers would judge people by appearance, because such people usually didn't have a very bright mind, so their cultivation level would not improve. However, the black big guy in front of him was already among the top players, and his IQ would definitely not be a problem. In this world, the internal skills had not been passed down, so it was understandable that Drogba had such thoughts.

Seeing that the two men were going to have a shooting competition, the teammates gathered around with great interest: one was the 24 million man who had just joined the team. Drogba's value was obviously the highest in the team and it was also the highest transfer record in the history of the Premier League. They certainly wanted to see how capable this super teammate was; and the other was England's rising star, who was known as the other corner of the England double star combination together with Wayne Rooney and the top scorer of the European Cup. These two strong newcomers to the team would definitely become the backbone of the team's front line this season, so they were all interested in this kind of thing.

"You should come, Peter, you are stronger." Tomas stood helplessly in front of the goal and said to Cech sadly. When he was in Wolverhampton youth team, he had enough of Wang Li's "abuse". Until now, when he saw Wang Li standing in front of the ball, he was still full of worries about his body.

"No, come on, Thomas!"

On the sidelines, Cech waved his hand towards Thomas, which seemed like a sign of promoting a newcomer. But only he knew that Wang Li's consecutive powerful shots a few days ago had completely shocked him, and even made him feel that coming to Chelsea would be a tragedy and become the first goalkeeper to be injured by a ball on the training ground. For this competition, he was optimistic about both Wang Li and Drogba, but not about Thomas standing in front of the goal...
