Chapter 571: Dong Fangzhuo's Prophecy

'We're going to get past Manchester United and we're going to win this game at the weekend. Chelsea have big plans, but we have to achieve some small goals first, like buying some good players and building a new stadium. ”

It's good to be rich!

Teams all over the world must be envious of the wealth that Chelsea have, getting good players, playing well and changing stadiums? It's not that difficult, but in the eyes of Chelsea CEO Kenyon, these are small targets.

Reuters quoted a British newspaper as interviewing Kenyon, who said the Chelsea helmsman said that the team would become the world's No.1 in 2014, and Stamford Bridge's specifications seemed to be a bit out of line with that title, and Kenyon said the team could move out of the stadium at a later date and find another home.

Kenyon said: "In 2014 we are going to be the number one club in the world, we need a bigger stadium, but it will be expensive. ”

At the same time, Kenyon also said that the team has a good working relationship with Jose Mourinho, who is also the 'key' figure in Chelsea's long-term plans, and any reports that Mourinho is leaving the team are untrue.

The Champions League has been qualified, Chelsea are fully engaged in the league title battle with Manchester United, and Kenyon has come out to speak, which is undoubtedly a kind of stability for the team. Although the game did not start, the psychological battle never stopped.

Neither sooner nor too late, Chelsea chose to announce their plans for the future the day before their visit to the Theatre of Dreams, and there is reason to believe that this is a means of demonstrating to their opponents.

Asked if Manchester United represents the past and Chelsea symbolizes the future, Blues chief executive Kenyon burst into laughter: "I don't think that's a big headline. ”

But it is clear that the Chelsea hierarchy want to make it a reality in the near future. Their ambition is to establish Chelsea as the world's number one club by 2014.

To realise their ambitions, United are an obstacle that the Blues must overcome. As the former CEO of Manchester United, Kenyon has a clear understanding of both clubs.

He says Chelsea are clearly more 'motivated' than Manchester United, both as a club and as a brand. But Kenyon stressed that he was not saying this as a criticism of Manchester United, but as a true reflection of reality.

Of course, he admits that league trophies from the past two seasons alone will not be enough to overtake the traditional power of English football.

'We're not overpowering Manchester United right now,' he said, 'they have a bigger fan base than we have, they've got a bigger history than we are. But I think it's pleasing to us that our fan base is growing faster than other football clubs and our revenues are growing very quickly and are now on par with Manchester United. There are a lot of factors that go into this, but the key is the team's victory. ”

More trophies will be a key part of the measure of whether they are among the top international clubs.

But now, with a Champions League trophy still outside Chelsea's Hall of Fame, Kenyon is clearly aware of the importance of changing that: "Not to underestimate the Premier League, but to be fair I think winning the Champions League is the biggest achievement a European club can achieve, and it takes you into a completely different realm. ”

The Chelsea CEO admits United's glorious past has made his club's modest achievements unworthy of a beating.

'Chelsea is a place without spirit, so it's time for us to start over and we have to create our own glorious tradition from now on.'

When Chelsea's eight-year revitalization plan reached the ears of United boss Alex Ferguson, it was met with immediate scorn from the Scotsman: "We were shaking the tide because of those words, they scared us." ”

The lord sarcastically said, "It's a good time to say this, isn't it?" But it definitely doesn't bother me. Remember, I know exactly who Pete is. ”

Kenyon worked with Alex Ferguson for a long time before Abou lured him to Stamford Bridge with money: "I don't really know the numbers, I don't know if we have 50 million fans or 500 million fans, but I do know that everywhere we go, we see people chasing our players in Manchester United shirts and we have these supporters because we entertain them, and we're never going to change that. ”

Ferguson also hinted that as long as Jose Mourinho is Chelsea manager, they will never overtake Manchester United: "I believe a team's performance on the pitch is a faithful reflection of the manager's thinking, we play our way and that makes our job successful. ”

"We'll see who is the king of the Premier League at the weekend."

Dong Fangzhuo also held the same view, he said in an interview with The Times: "It is impossible to surpass Manchester United, Manchester United will always be Manchester United, Mourinho is very good, but he can't win the title every year, this year's league title is Manchester United, no one can take it from us." ”

'Manchester United will only win more and more titles, and we will not be overtaken by any club, but I will not disappoint everyone with my team-mates while I am still at this club.

Dong Fangzhuo seemed to have discussed the matter as the captain of Manchester United, and talked about the managers of both sides.

'There is no manager like Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger who can stay at the club for a decade or two and build a dynasty, and neither can Chelsea. If Chelsea's results are not good, I believe that the Chelsea owners will immediately sack Mourinho, believe it, we will see, one day, when Manchester United ascend to the title of champion, it will be when Mourinho leaves, because this is brutal professional football. ”

Dong Fangzhuo's prophecy was subsequently reprinted and finally fell into Mourinho's ears.

"This kid wants to destroy the country I laid with his own hands?"

"Someday, you will come to my hands and work for me."

"However, he is right, once Manchester United wins, I will definitely leave." So, Chelsea can't afford to lose. ”

Mourinho admires Dong Fangzhuo very much, and now he is willing to let him add 20 million to Shevchenko in exchange for Dong Fangzhuo, but Manchester United is a sworn enemy and can't dig it.

Maybe in a few years, it's time to go to Real Madrid, right? This guy will definitely be bought by Real Madrid, but I don't know if I will be at Chelsea at that time?

He's going to be tougher than Dong Fangzhuo......
