Chapter 427 If not killed now, when?
Abramovich has been in a very low mood recently, even very bad.
The reason was that he found that many things did not develop as he expected.
He had previously planned to sign Tottenham Hotspur's top Premier League midfielder Modric, and had made a lot of efforts to this end.
Unexpectedly, Modric did transfer, but not to Chelsea.
If Modric went to Real Madrid or other top teams, he would feel more balanced.
But unfortunately, Modric went to Southampton
This is simply a slap in the face of Abramovich.
He hated Yang Huan and Daniel Levi.
Later, he planned to use the jersey advertising incident and the Premier League to put pressure on Southampton.
Unexpectedly, Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United betrayed Chelsea one after another, leaving them alone.
In the end, Southampton escaped.
After this incident, it will be even more difficult for Chelsea to sign Strootman.
Let me ask, given Yang Huan’s character, would he swallow his anger and sell his players to Chelsea?
When Abramovich thought of Yang Huan, he wanted to skin him alive.
This bastard first snatched away Lille's Belgian genius Hazard, and then snatched Modric, which made Abramovich so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He just couldn't understand why Yang Huan liked to go against him so much?
Just when he was feeling seriously unbalanced, Marina Granovskia, who was tiptoeing outside, finally knocked on the door of Abramovich's office.
"Come in." The Russian's tone seemed to tell everyone that I'm in a bad mood.
As soon as Marina Granovskia opened the door and saw the boss's face, she immediately had an urge to leave.
How could the poor Russian woman not see the boss's mood at that moment?
Abramovich raised his head, glanced at Granovskia, then lowered his head again and asked in an unfriendly tone.
"What's up?"
Granovskia had no choice but to come over and said, "Boss, there's news from Brazil."
Abramovich then raised his head, staring at Granovskia with eyes as bright as lightning, but said nothing.
Granovsky Asia Pacific learned about Abramovich and reported it immediately.
"We spoke to Oscar's agent Carlos Neto of Internacional on the phone. He said that Tottenham Hotspur had also contacted them and the price they offered was very attractive. In addition, he would rather discuss Oscar's transfer after the London Olympics."
Abramovich got angry immediately after hearing this
"Tottenham? F**k Levy"
After a pause, he stood up and said, "Olympic Games? Let's talk about it after the Olympics. It will be too late."
After venting for a while, he still seemed unsatisfied.
"Carlos Neto is clearly raising the price. He has seen our current situation and is asking for a high price."
Who says it’s not?
Who in Europe doesn't know that Chelsea's top midfield target is Modric?
But where are the Croatians now?
In Southampton
Who is the second target?
Kevin Troman
The latter is now the vice-captain of the Dutch national team and is currently leading the Dutch in preparation for the European Cup.
He is owned by Southampton
If they want to bring in the Dutchman, they not only need Southampton's approval, but also face strong competition from Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Real Madrid and other teams. Even if they get him, I'm afraid it will be a high price.
Not to mention that Chelsea’s relationship with Southampton is so bad now, how could it be sold to Chelsea?
Therefore, almost the whole world knows that Chelsea is not good at recruiting midfield players.
In this case, let alone the Brazilian rookie Oscar that Chelsea is eyeing, even if he is a nobody, his value will skyrocket immediately, especially with the nature of those vampire agents, raising your price by 10 million pounds is considered a face-saving move.
If you have the ability, don't buy it.
"Damn it, damn it!" Abramovich was so angry that he almost went crazy.
But there is nothing we can do
After losing his temper, Abramovich quickly calmed down, looked at the frightened Granovskia again, and asked calmly, "How much does he want?"
'30 million pounds'
"I..." Abramovich was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Thirty million pounds?
Bring in a Brazilian player who has never proven himself in the European league?
If this gets out, I'm afraid the whole world will laugh their heads off.
But there is no way. This is the number three recruitment target listed by Chelsea scouts. If they still can't bring him in, they can only bring in the next one, and the price will definitely not be cheap.
Chelsea's fourth signing target is Moutinho from Porto, whose agent is Mendes, you know
It's rare that Chelsea has such a need. If they don't kill him now, when will they?
"Agree to it," Abramovich sighed helplessly.
Granovskia was stunned. "Agree?"
"Yes, I agree. Isn't it just 30 million pounds?" Abramovich said generously.
But it is not difficult for people who are familiar with him to see that at this moment, his heart is bleeding.
Thirty million pounds to bring in Oscar?
It's even worse than signing Modric for 50 million pounds.
At least, the latter has proved his strength
But what can we do about it?
Who made Chelsea lose to Southampton in the battle for Modric?
"There is one more thing," Granovskia hesitated and said.
Now, at best you will get scolded.
But if I don't tell it now, and my boss finds out later, I'll be finished.
"It is said" that Abramovich was in a very bad mood.
"I just received news from France."
Abramovich raised his eyebrows and looked at Granovskia.
He had a bad feeling. Could it be...
"Marseille has signed a contract with Southampton, Azpilicueta will transfer to Southampton"
Sure enough, even though Abramovich had been mentally prepared, he still felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue.
That damn Yang Huan is just trying to make things difficult for me.
He would poach whoever I took a fancy to. He was just trying to cause trouble for me.
It's true that the aunt can tolerate it but the uncle can't
Granovskia stood aside, silently waiting for the boss's roar like a volcanic eruption.
Bosingwa has moved to Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer.
Because Chelsea was originally determined to get Azpilicueta.
The player himself is not very famous and not popular, and no other team is interested in him, so Chelsea can be said to have no pressure.
But who could have thought that Southampton would suddenly appear out of nowhere and make another attack.
No matter who it is, how could they not be angry?
But after waiting for a long time, Granovskia did not receive Abramovich's anger.
Veins even popped out on the Russian's face.
But his tone was surprisingly calm.
"You, get out"
Granovskia understood what was going on, nodded, and quickly left the office.
As soon as she closed the door, she heard a burst of crazy banging and noise coming from inside, which stunned everyone in the Stamford Bridge office.
The boss's anger is really scary.
Yang Huan didn't know that his move to bring in Azpilicueta made Abramovich so angry.
But he really had no choice.
Clini is facing poaching from Manchester United, and Spain's Marca newspaper also said that Real Madrid is interested in Carvajal.
Given the nature of Spanish players, Carvajal will definitely be tempted as long as Real Madrid extends an olive branch.
From Yang Huan's perspective, he would definitely take down Azpilicueta first.
Besides, this player is really cheap, 7 million euros, done.
After introducing Azpilicueta, Yang Huan felt relieved.
No matter who stays and who leaves between Clini and Carvajal, or even if both of them leave, he feels that it is not a big problem and can be easily dealt with.
But as per convention, Yang Huan still needs to communicate this matter with the team's head coach Bielsa.
By the way, there is something else I need to ask Bielsa for his opinion on.
So, as soon as Yang Huan returned to London, he immediately ran back to Southampton and came to the Staplewood training base.
The European Cup is about to begin. Southampton has many international players in the team, and the Olympics are also about to begin, so Staplewood is very deserted and there is not even a soul to be seen.
Only the diligent security guard Peter guards the team's gate day after day.
As soon as Yang Huan got out of the car, he went straight to the second floor and came to the head coach's office.
After two knocks, Bielsa's voice came from inside.
"Come in"
As soon as he saw it was Yang Huan, Bielsa smiled, "Master Huan."
"Well, Lao Bei" Yang Huan walked in.
He noticed that Bielsa was watching the game video on the computer.
It is said that this guy asked the club staff to collect the game videos of the Premier League from last season and even the season before last half a year ago, and threatened to spend one summer watching all the Premier League games of the past three years.
This made Yang Huan feel very impressed.
Only crazy people can do such crazy things.
"Master Huan, is there anything I can help you with?" Bielsa asked while still staring at the computer monitor.
Yang Huan had long been accustomed to this fellow's behavior. It was said that he called this multitasking.
"What do you think of Koke of Atletico Madrid?" Yang Huan asked straight to the point.
When Bielsa heard this, he tapped on the keyboard, paused the video, clicked his tongue twice, and started thinking.
"I have studied Atletico Madrid's games, Koke is a good player"
Atletico Madrid is Southampton's opponent in the Europa League final, and Bielsa must have studied them carefully.
Maybe this guy has watched all the videos of Atletico Madrid in the past season.
"Bring him in as a midfield substitute?" Yang Huan suggested with a smile.
Schneiderlin has already gone to Tottenham Hotspur. If Stroman leaves too, Southampton's midfield will be a bit thin.
Modric, Toni Kroos, Matic, Pogba, Vidal and Isco, James Rodriguez can play as attacking midfielder, seven players are still not enough, after all, they have to fight on multiple fronts.
Besides, who can guarantee that the players will not get injured?
"If you're a substitute, that's fine," Bielsa said bluntly.
If there were outsiders present, I would definitely be depressed.
Damn it, do you think Atletico Madrid is your Southampton's backyard?
Buy whoever you want?
Don't mention it, Yang Huan now really treats Atletico Madrid as his own backyard
Especially after he reached an agreement with Qin Yongming.
"I'm in France and I brought in right-back Cesar Azpilicueta from Marseille. When you have time, have someone look for his video."
After hearing this, Bielsa nodded directly.
He didn't interfere much in transfer matters.
According to the division of labor between him and Yang Huan, he would generally only tell Yang Huan which players could not be sold.
As for the rest, he had little interest.
He is more concerned with tactics and competitive aspects.
Of course, Yang Huan will also fully consider Bielsa's requirements when recruiting players.
This is a kind of tacit cooperation.
"By the way, Lao Bei, I need your help with something."
Only after the team's affairs were settled did Yang Huan tell the purpose of his trip.
