The last pride!

Martin Samuel, a well-known columnist for Ukraineland, featured prominently on the front page of the Daily Mail in his latest column about the contract renewal conflict between John Terry and Chelsea.

In this column, Martin Samuel talks about John Terry's past achievements at Chelsea and speaks highly of his role as a backbone of the team over the past few seasons when results have slipped and the squad has been in turmoil.

Martin Samuel, meanwhile, believes it is indeed quite unkind for Chelsea to force John Terry in this way.

"If the club is serious about renewing the contract, then the player should be informed in advance."

'But now, with less than half a year to go before John Terry's contract expires, Chelsea have so far not informed whether they have decided to renew his contract, but want to continue to delay the time, which is clearly irresponsible.

In the article, Martin Samuel sees John Terry's fight back and determination to buy out the remaining six months of his contract as a sign of pride in defending the Blues captain's heritage, as Chelsea have been dislodged by the likes of Roman Abramovich and Granovskia.

At the end of the article, Martin Samuel also said that John Terry had decided not to stay in the Premier League, "He said that it would be difficult for him to face the team he loved and was willing to give everything for, and he would leave the Premier League." ”

As soon as Martin Samuel's op-ed was published, it immediately attracted a lot of attention around the world.

As a well-known columnist in the UK, Martin Samuel has always been known as the mouthpiece of Chelsea, always able to get some Chelsea insider information, and has a very good relationship with the Blues.

But now, with Frank Lampard leaving the United States and John Terry set to leave Stamford Bridge, Martin Samuel's link with Chelsea has faded, and now he is standing up for Terry, no doubt to bolster his old friend.

However, what he said resonated with countless fans and football journalists.

It's no secret that Chelsea are unkind to their heroes.

Carlo Ancelotti was announced to be out of class on the bus, which directly led to the European coaches staying away from Chelsea.

Abramovich begged to invite Pep Guardiola to coach, but why did the Spaniard never nod? It's because what the Chelsea managers did back then was so chilling.

Now that Chelsea are starting to get rid of their former heroes, does that mean Chelsea are going to further ruin their image in the minds of the players?

You know, with the decline of the club's performance in the past two years, it has been difficult for Chelsea to invite European first-line stars to join, if there is such a fuss now, not only will the club's players be disheartened and disheartened, but it may even bring huge damage to Chelsea's future recruitment.

Stephen Howard, a well-known columnist for The Sun, pointed out in his article: "The old and the old are the inevitable problems of all teams, but Chelsea's approach has always been criticised for being too simple and crude. ”

"Now, the news of John Terry's again is definitely another painful blow to Chelsea's already poor image, which makes it even more difficult for Chelsea to bring in strong reinforcements in the future."

In the face of the flood of comments and criticism from the outside world, under pressure, Chelsea officials also had to come forward to explain, saying that the club did not want to renew Terry's contract, and even the club would consider renewing Terry's contract.

But such remarks have pale in the face of Terry's agent's public statement that his players will buy out the remaining six months of their contracts.

All Blues fans have also said that the official Chelsea behaviour is chilling and excessive.

It is only when he has really gone too far and is chilling that Terry would be so determined to leave the team he has played for all his career.

As the British media began to pay attention and report, the news spread quickly, and the follow-up quickly brought a chain reaction.

First of all, a British media reporter asked Bayern Munich manager Diola in Munich, Germany, what he thought about Terry's departure from Chelsea.

Pep Guardiola initially refused to answer, but then he was pestered to have no choice but to express his opinion, and he also felt that Chelsea had been a little too hasty and less than ideal in dealing with the issue of John Terry's contract extension.

As a professional footballer, Pep Guardiola also faced Terry's current problems.

At that time, Barcelona's approach was also quite rough, forcing Guardiola to leave Serie A, and even bearing the biggest shame in his life, that is, the drug test scandal in 2001.

Pep Guardiola, who had just switched from Barcelona to Brescia, was banned by the Italian Football Federation for four months after being found to have used doping during a post-match drug test, followed by a seven-month suspended prison sentence by the government.

This is regarded by Guardiola as the biggest shame of his life, because he has never used doping at all.

So, after the penalty was handed down, he kept appealing, accusing the Italian Football Federation of a problem with the testing equipment.

It took eight years for him to truly declare his grievances and get his innocence.

It is precisely because of this tragic history that Pep Guardiola is sympathetic to Terry's plight, and he believes that Chelsea could have done a better job of dealing with the issue of veteran contract extensions.

However, when asked by reporters if Pep Guardiola would be interested in coaching in the Premier League, the Spanish boss smiled and said that he sees coaching in the Premier League as the biggest and most interesting challenge of his life.

To say that before, whenever asked about it, Guardiola refused to answer, but this time he took the initiative to answer, it can be seen that he is full of expectations for coaching the Premier League.

This time, reporters and fans all over the world are fried.

Could it be that Pep Guardiola is really going to coach Chelsea?

The whole world knows that Chelsea's Pep Guardiola has been pursuing it for many years, and Roman Abramovich even came to Munich to invite Pep Guardiola.

A lot of people are starting to look for a whole bunch of evidence to prove this argument.

First of all, of course, it is Pep Guardiola's rare comment on Chelsea's contract extension with John Terry.

What's more, in the past six months, Guardiola has only been linked with Chelsea, and considering that Abramovich has been tirelessly pursuing Guardiola for many years, it is not surprising that the Spanish male god is excited.

As a result, the media immediately got excited and began to concoct a lot of news.

For example, Abramovich launched a great blueprint, claiming to invest hundreds of millions to bring in Neymar to form a strong squad for Guardiola that is capable of competing for the Premier League title in the short term and competing with Southampton.

But soon news came out that the team that Guardiola could really go to was Manchester City.

Manchester City have also been pursuing Pep Guardiola, and manager Manuel Pellegrini's results in the team are not satisfactory, but Manchester City's relatively more patient management style is also more in line with Guardiola's requirements.

But the real exciting news came from the Manchester Evening News, which publicly stated that Manchester City's top management has drawn up a plan that if Guardiola is in charge of Manchester City, they will give an unlimited transfer budget, in order to bring in strong reinforcements to compete with the invincible Southampton!

It is clear that the mighty Saints are invincible in the Premier League, constantly making history, and have become the target of all Premier League teams, who are proud to beat the Saints.

In this case, all teams have also made strange moves, hoping to bring Guardiola, the world's top coach, under their command to create a tactical system that can compete with the Saints.

With the attention and reports of the media, the German media also quickly dug up the news, that is, Bayern Munich has long confirmed that Guardiola will leave the team after the end of this summer and will not stay in Munich.

"During his time at Bayern Munich, Pep Guardiola found his disagreements growing with management, especially with his top boss Summer, and everyone in football knows that these two are notoriously strong and difficult to pee into a pot, and their differences have long been revealed with the big quarrel a year ago."

"In the list with Pep Guardiola's departure, Spanish midfielder Xavi Alonso ranks first, Sameer believes that although Xavi Alonso still maintains the strength and condition of the world's top midfielder, it is not in line with the club's business policy in the next few years, and he has basically decided to leave the team when his contract expires in the summer, and he does not even rule out selling it for a good price during the winter break."

"The other possible departure is Bernate, and with Pep Guardiola's departure, Bernate, who is in an awkward position, is likely to return to La Liga."

As for the other main midfielder, Guardiola's favorite Thiago, whether to stay in the team depends on the ideas of the new Bayern Munich coach, if it is not in the plan, Thiago is basically sure to leave, especially possible to return to Barcelona.

As the media dug deeper, it was initially nothing more than a contract renewal conflict between John Terry and Chelsea, but gradually, it was drowned out by discussions about Pep Guardiola's new club next season.

At the end of the day, the media and fans are very forgetful, and they will naturally pay more attention to Guardiola, who is more well-known and hype-worthy, and more and more teams are linked to Guardiola.

Even in the end, even Real Madrid and Manchester United were involved, and it almost became a topic of national concern.

It is in such a trend that the European winter transfer market is also quietly kicking off.

However, compared with the booming winter transfers in the past, in recent years, with the economic depression, winter transfers have gradually declined.

Local tycoons led by Southampton, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have all announced that there will be no reinforcements during the winter break, which has also set the tone for the transfer market early.

Without the intervention of local tyrants, how can the transfer market be lively?

But just when everyone thought that the European winter transfer market might be tepid, the local tyrant from the Chinese Super League quietly made a move.

First of all, Elkeson, the main striker of Yangcheng Hengda, switched to Longhai Longgang at a high price of 18.5 million euros, which detonated the passion of the transfer market during the winter break.

Immediately afterwards, the Chinese team from the Chinese Super League brought in winger Gervinho from Roma for 18 million euros.

This transaction is once again a big surprise, you know, Gervinho's performance in Rome is quite outstanding, even if you want to transfer, it is quite sought-after in Europe, but you turned to the Chinese Super League?

This Chinese Super League team is too tyrant, right?

But that's just the beginning.

After Gervinho, Huaxia were clearly not satisfied, and continued their fierce pursuit of Chelsea striker Remy with the intention of bringing the Blues striker under his wing, which left the whole of Europe amazed by the deep pockets of the Chinese Super League side.

However, there has been no progress in the poaching of Huaxia here, but Su Ling has already poached midfielder Ramires from the Blues at a high price of 28 million euros, and won the position of the king of the transfer market in one fell swoop.

However, Su Ling's banner of the king has not yet been held firmly, but the banner of the king has changed hands again.

After selling the leading striker, Yangcheng Hengda announced the introduction of Porto striker Jackson Martinez for 42 million euros, cutting the banner of the transfer market king during the winter break in one fell swoop.

The whole world was shocked!

What are these Chinese doing?

I've really seen a local tyrant, but I've never seen such a local tyrant!

It's outrageous, right?

Are they going to buy all the stars in Europe to China?

But when all the teams in the Chinese Super League are making great noise and introducing strong reinforcements at sky-high prices, Young Master Huan, who is highly anticipated by domestic fans, and his capital Guoen, have not progressed for a long time.
