Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 71—New Season Budget

    With the defeat of Stoke City FC in the final game, he pressed Chelsea to become the last English Premier League team to participate in the Europe Champion Cup.  Toni Twain has become a news person who has received much media attention.  His radiant smile appeared on a number of media. His phrase "Telling the guys of Europe, your old friends are back" has even become the favorite quotes of Nottingham Forest FC fans in these days.

    But some people are happy, and naturally someone is lost.

    On the second day of the league's end, Chelsea officially announced the removal of Manager Scolari.  The statement thanked Scolari for his contribution to the team and affirmed his achievements – in fact, there is nothing to be sure, one of the two seasons that Scolari led the team, a Champion did not get.  However, the kind words on the surface still have to be said.  The statement did not point out the reason why Scolari was dismissed. Scolari, who left the club, did not accept any interviews and refused to comment.

    But everyone knows it.  This season stopped at the Champion Cup semi.finals and lost the season Champion Cup qualification, which is the main reason for Scolari's class.  Don't look at Abramovich's money, you can buy a lot of players for Chelsea.  But the pressure to do Manager at Chelsea may be greater than in Manchester United FC and Arsenal FC.

    The same person who is as sick as Scolari is Mark Hughes, former manager of Manchester City FC.  Hughes must have a good understanding of Scolari's mood at the moment – ​​he was fired from the Manchester City FC Arab Boss after the end of the season, and Manchester City FC, who invested a lot of money, did not achieve matching results. The UEFA Europa League is their only reward.  Mark Hughes said a word after being dismissed, causing embarrassment.  He said: "I can finally sleep well.  ”

    As for Hughes' successor Kevin Keegan, he is still suffering in this position.  The reason for not being willing to resign is to let Club and him cancel the contract, in order to get a lot of money.  Today, the location of the Manchester City FC Manager has become a hot potato.

    compare to.  Chelsea's situation is slightly better.  After all, starting from Hoddle, after the inheritance of Gullit, Viali, and Ranieri, to Mourinho, Chelsea is considered to be a strong team of English Premier League, and they are attractive to excellent players and excellent coaches. A lot bigger.

    So I just fired Scolari.  Chelsea officially announced the successor –

“……We have already been with Frank Rijkaard Mr.
Agreed On  He is very willing to take up the role of Chelsea Manager.  Abramovich Mr.
Also looking forward to Rijkaard Mr.
Bring a delightful football to Chelsea's fans…"

    Those who are familiar with Abramovich will not be surprised by this candidate.  Rijkaard, who is currently at home, is indeed the most suitable for Abramovich.  Think of the Artistic Football he played in Barcelona. If you want to watch beautiful football, then Rijkaard is the best candidate.

    Rijkaard quickly responded.  He accepted the invitation of Chelsea Club.  And see it as a new challenge.

    Previous rumors that Rijkaard will replace Ancelotti as acMilan Manager are not ruined.

    On the second day of the press release, Rijkaard appeared in London and officially took office.  Some media mentioned this when interviewing Twain, hoping to hear his views on Chelsea's new Manager.

    Twain felt very strange: "Chelsea Club personnel changes, why come to ask me? I am not the director of their personnel department…"

    The journalist smiled and said: "But the person who caused their personnel changes is not you, Twain Mr.?"

    Twain was asked to stop.  He thought so carefully, and this is really the case.  If he didn't push Chelsea from the league's fourth to the league's fifth, then Scolari might not have finished class.  After all, this kind of early termination.  In terms of Club, it is a loss for Chelsea Club to compensate the Dismissed Manager.  If it is not the results that really can't let Abramovich accept, who has nothing to do with the dismissal?

    “Fine.Twain sighed. "I appreciate Rijkaard's achievements in Barcelona.  ButHe thought that this former Barcelona Manager could be a bit of a personal grudge, "…You must know these things.  So the English Premier League of Season has another topic that can be hyped for you.  For me, nothing has changed.  My goal is Champion and victory, I only care about these two things, other things…I don't care.  ”

    Although he said rhetoric in front of the journalist, this gesture was still considered by the "Twain Black" to be "swollen and fat."  Take the situation of the Forest team now.  It is a great achievement to be able to guarantee that each season is in the top four in the league.  Twain, this guy actually wants to win the championship…

    Since it is necessary to make great achievements in the new season, it is certainly not enough to rely on these people now.  Nottingham Forest FC must look for players from the Transfer market to enhance the team's strength.

    This requires money.

    Twain knows that the team can't get too much money for him to spend now.  But he still intends to go to Evan with a scalp, hoping that he can give himself more money…

    He thought that this kind of thing would be difficult, but the result surprised him.

    “I decided to set aside the plan for the new Stadium indefinitely before the economic environment improved.  In the office of the President of the Club, Evan Doughty smiled and said to Twain, who was surprised.  "So now I have money to buy you.  ”

    "Allen…do you know? ”Twain's first thought was not happy, but what Allen Adams would think.

    "This is his proposal.  Evan laughed.  "And our huge new Stadium project needs to be revised…In short, these things make him a headache.  Toni, you only need to lead the team to get the results. I have read about your interview. I hope that you are not talking.  He stepped forward and patted Twain's shoulder.

    "Yes, Champion…I never talked empty.  Empty talk can't help me get Champion.  New season, how much budget are you going to give me, Evan? ”He asked the most critical questions.

    "How much do you need.  Toni? ”

    Twain pondered.

    Every summer, the team is interested in several players in their lineup.  But it is always those people.  He will not consider selling the land.  Such as George Wood, Gareth Bale and Pepe.

    If you want to expand your strength this summer, you can't basically sell the team's pillar player.  And Twain can accept that the players who sold this reality can't actually sell a few dollars.  Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect to sell the ball in exchange for the transfer of funds.  Now the team's weakest relief is in the striker and midfield.  Van Nistelrooy has returned to the team, he got a two-year contract, but the salary is much lower than his previous contract.  This is also the price…

    His body is recovering well, and the new season can re-run for the team.  But who is in the state is not in the heart.

    Niklas Milan and Víctor Moses are still young and still need to exercise.  The new season forest team will be fighting in two lines and the team will be rotated.  Don't worry about their chances of playing.  The only worry is whether their ability can keep up with the needs of the European arena.  It seems that Milan may not have any big problems, and Moses still needs to hone.

    As a high center, Zikiqi will definitely occupy a place in the Forest team, although the performance is not eye-catching.  But it is very practical.

    Agbonlahor's speed is a new weapon in Twain's hands, and his presence can make the team's play more varied.

    Needless to say, Eastwood is the best performer since he debuted.  As long as he is not injured, he must be the team's starting Striker, and he and Van Nistelrooy are currently the most experienced players in the Championship team in the Champion Cup.

    But such frontline strength is still not enough.  Need to add enough level of Striker.

    Midfielder…George Wood and Lennon are trustworthy players, but Lennon has only one person on the right, and the season team only focuses on the domestic league, which is naturally not a problem.  Now that a two-line battle is needed, one must not be able to stick to the entire season.

    Sha Xin’s performance is not bad.  After a season of exercise and running-in, he made progress.  Being re-invited into the Turkey National Team may be a proof.  Thiago Mendes is also the team's rotation player.  John Bostock Twain wants to go out of his Loaned for a year, he still needs to hone, and Adriano Mok is also going to be Loaned.

    Cris Cohen's performance is quite good, and is a good complement to the midfield lineup.  He must also stay, and there will be no less chances for him to play in the two-line battle.

    Petrov Twain intends to sell him.  On the one hand, the Bulgarians are old, the speed is not as good as before, and the state is gradually declining. On the other hand, there are still people who have to hurry out of the gloves now – it is said that the first two seasons Bundesliga, the number one black horse, Hoffenheim caught up with him.  I want him to go to Germany to play the heat.  Petrov is now moving this mind. After all, he was famous in Bundesliga, and it is not unfamiliar to go back now.

    In this way, the two sides of the midfield continue to complement the powerful player.

    The Defender line is not so much worried.  Gareth Bale's performance is very stable, and there are a few chances to play in Seasons Barnes, but with the arrival of the new season, his chances will be less and less.

    Rafinha has grown up on the right Defender, and he has sharply attacked and actively defended on the sidelines.  Let him sit on the top of the Forest team's right Defender.  There are also a lot of teams that are interested in him now.  But Twain won't consider selling it.

    Chimbonda is a special case.  He is thirty-one years old, and Twain thought about finding a suitable candidate a few years ago to let him go.  But until now he still stayed in the team, the performance is very good.  I need him to go all out and go to the bench and there is no complaint.  The season team can finally qualify for the Champion Cup, and he has contributed.  In the right Defender position, his defense is much better than Rafinha.  When Twain needed team defense, he was more trustworthy than Brazil.  Twain also rediscovered the value of this Frenchman – he is not a star player.  But he does have the kind of "role player" that no team can afford.  They have their own roles and have their own responsibilities.  They are the foundation of a team.  Twain needs such a "role player".  This summer, Club is negotiating a new contract with his Agent for a four-year period.  Once signed, it will almost be a life-long contract: after four years, Chimbonda is over thirty-five years old and can basically consider retiring directly.

    Due to the shelving of the new Stadium construction plan, it was not successful to go to China to find sponsorship activities.  Twain decided to put Sun Jihai on the Transfer market, whether it is China's Club.  Still the British crown, the League of England Club, as long as they can afford to sell, they will sell.  Although the sale is now impossible to sell at a high price, there is a big gap between the four million pounds that he bought at the beginning, but if he waits another year, Sun Jihai is free to transfer, and Club will not be able to get a penny.

    In the case of Defender, Pepe is the main force of the thunder.  Unless he is injured.  Otherwise must start.  Kompany and Woodgate will belong to the rotating Defender in the new season.  After all, Woodgate's body is not as strong as Kompany, and the minor injuries are slightly more frequent.  Weismogan is a good addition.  But in the game of Europe, Mogan is not expected.

    Five Defenders are enough, and more is wasted.

    The young left Defender Jomatock struggled to adapt to his new position in the last season – Middle Defender.  The new season will be tested by Loaned for a practical workout.

    "I think, about 50 million…Pounds.  Twain estimated it quickly in psychology.  A rough estimate was made.

    Evan frowned. "Not too little, but I will find a way…"The frowning expression only appeared for a few seconds, and he smiled again. "Go to Shania for a happy holiday."  Don't think about anything.  The matter of money has been implemented, I will inform you, Toni.  Where are you going to play? ”

    "China.  Twain shrugged.  "Going to see the parents of Tang Dynasty, it is also my…PARENT(S)  In addition, I have an endorsement commercial contract there, to talk about.  ”

    When I heard Twain mention “China,” Evan remembered the trip to China in the summer of 2008.  At that time, Nottingham Forest FC had just defended the Champion Cup and won the season's Double Crown.  For a time, there was no wind in the limelight.  When they went there, they set off a storm of The Reds, watching the fans and businesses in East Asia feel good about their worship.  Unfortunately, this is all gone now.  Allen Adams went to China in China for almost half a year. When the companies heard that they were going to throw money into the new Stadium, they all shook their heads and lamented the economic crisis. The current situation was difficult and there was no money in hand.  The wealthy big riches are all state-owned enterprises.  Even if someone wants to invest in the real estate market in United Kingdom.  They are also afraid to act rashly because of their own identity.

    Later, UAE was suggested to be able to inject capital, but not to invest in the Stadium project.  Instead, it is invested in the Club, which is equal to the acquisition in disguise.  Evan categorically refused – even if the sale of Nottingham Forest FC is not the case.  Now the other party can unscrupulously suppress the price, and the fool will sell it.

    Evan Doughty stunned and found Twain still standing in front of himself.  Then I smiled apologetically: "I wish you a good time, Toni.  If possible, give me and Allen a gift from China to come back…"

    Twain nodded. "Then I have to take a good idea and think about what kind of gift I can bring to satisfy you."  ”

    "Haha, don't bother! Just do whatever you want.  We are not waiting for the children who are turning gifts from the socks during Christmas.  ”
