Recently, an authoritative sports financial analysis center in Europe released a report, which pointed out a huge crisis facing European football at present, that is, the bursting of the football economic bubble!

Strictly speaking, the bubble can be traced back to the most glorious era of the Seven Sisters in Serie A, when Serie A teams were heavily recruited, and even the middle and lower teams were full of first-class stars, which greatly improved the overall competitiveness of Serie A, thus creating the most talked-about Seven Sisters era in football history.

However, in contrast, it has brought a serious mismatch between the input and output of all clubs, and under the huge investment, it has not been able to get the corresponding return, which makes investors have to redefine football clubs.

At the turn of the century, Lazio and Roma have sought new development through listing and other means, and they have raised funds through listing, obtained large sums of money, and invested in the transfer market, bringing star-studded stars to their teams, which also gave Rome a taste of league championships.

But just two years later, both Lazio and Roma are now in deep bankruptcy crisis, and the former is forced to rely on selling off their star players to survive, so it is conceivable that they are now in a difficult situation.

Similar to Serie A, all four major European leagues are in a money crisis, with all but a handful of teams, such as Real Madrid, which has run very well in La Liga, and the only three teams in the Premier League to make even payments, Manchester United, Newcastle and Charlton, all of them are heavily in debt.

It has long been rumored that Manchester United's Alex Ferguson wants to send away Beckham, because he wants to get Paris Saint-Germain's Ronaldinho, and the transfer fee is expected to be 8 million pounds, that is, 12 million euros, which is a huge gap compared with the transfer value of Ronaldo Jr. a year ago, which was close to 30 million euros.

However, everyone predicts that this transfer, if it can go through, could even become the transfer bid of the Premier League.

10 million euros, this is the dividing line set by this company, they believe that the vast majority of transfer fees will be lower than this figure, all clubs will give priority to players under this figure before recruiting, once it exceeds this number, they will reconsider the feasibility, which is why Ferguson has coveted Ronaldinho for so long, but has never been able to get it.

Leeds United have £77.8 million in debt, Chelsea have £79 million in debt, and they owe £300 million in bank loans because of the Chelsea resort project.

Arsenal are building a new stadium but have not started construction, the debt has reached 42 million pounds, West Ham United have lost 47 million pounds, Sunderland are facing liquidation, and Everton have even had to mortgage their players to banks in exchange for loans......

This is undoubtedly a great opportunity to buy the bottom, so some of the rich people who salivate for football have jumped into it.

Roman Abramovich is one of them.

At this moment, he was sitting in the stands of the San Siro Stadium, and he saw with his own eyes the scene of Yang Cheng leading Inter Milan to beat AC Milan, especially when he saw Yang Cheng's team almost invincible defeat the opponent, booked the Italian Cup in advance, and won the double, his heart became fanatical.

"I want him to coach my future team!" Abramovich excitedly stood up from the stands.

Sitting next to him is Pinny Zahavi, a well-known agent in the Premier League who has directed a number of transfers for Manchester United, and who was also the intermediary between Rio Ferdinand and Veron's transfer to Manchester United.

A cunning Israeli!

This is Ferguson's evaluation of him, which proves that the old Ferguson loves and hates him.

"I support it!" Zahavi smiled and stood up, "He's the best manager in football today, young, handsome, stylish, full of charisma, almost God's perfect favorite, but I have to warn you, Roman, he's not an easy guy to convince. ”

After a pause, Zahavi shook his head with a wry smile, "At least Real Madrid has pursued him for several years, but has never been able to get him to nod and agree, so I think that if you want to convince him, you must come up with a more sincere price than Real Madrid!" ”

Abramovich frowned and looked at Zahavi, who smiled. "I've heard Ferguson talk about him in private, he's doing well at Inter Milan, but he hates Serie A, he almost left last year, it's an opportunity, but he's a big person, money and reputation are not the most important thing to him, and the other thing is that once he takes over a team, he must get the most power, just like Ferguson did at Manchester United." ”

"Yes, normal!" Abramovich waved his hand, "Anyone who has the ability will be full of arrogance in his character, I like such a person, as long as he can bring me the victory I want!" ”

When Zahavi heard this, he immediately burst out laughing.

Roman Abramovich is currently in private talks to buy Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, after he wanted to get Manchester United, but Zahavi's attempts hit a wall, so Abramovich had no choice but to turn the gun.

Speaking of which, Abramovich's passion for football comes from the strength of Inter Milan, which was sparked during the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, and then met Zahavi through a friend's introduction, and then Zahavi took him to Old Trafford to watch the game between Inter Milan and Manchester United, and the idea of buying Manchester United was directly born.

Although the acquisition of Manchester United failed, Abramovich never gave up the pursuit of buying the club, but he shifted his choice to other teams.

Zahavi is a very clever man, even Ferguson is right, he is a cunning man, he knows very well that buying and selling players can only make a fortune, but helping a rich financier, buying and selling a football club, is the same as getting a coffer.

Therefore, he finally spared no effort in the affairs of Abramovich and was very enthusiastic.

Today, he took Abramovich to watch the first leg of the Italian Cup final between Inter Milan and AC Milan, and it was obvious that he wanted to recommend Yang Cheng to take over Abramovich's future team, because he knew very well that in today's football world, whoever falls next to Yang Cheng will rise to the top.

If he can get close to the two big coffers of Yang Cheng and Abramovich, then even if he breaks his leg in the future, he will be able to sit and count the money, and he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

"Perhaps, Roman, we should study a set of rhetoric!" Zahavi suggested with a smile.

…………

…………

On the third day after the first leg of the Coppa Italia final, the entire city of Milan was still immersed in the atmosphere of Inter Milan pre-booking the Coppa Italia title, and the Rossoneri fans were grieving to lose the title, but Abramovich met Yang Cheng in Isola Bella.

"Wow, Miss Aniston!" Abramovich's eyes lit up, and he immediately recognized the person sitting next to Yang Cheng as Hollywood sweetheart, Jennifer Aniston.

He knew Yang Cheng and knew that Yang Cheng had scandals with many world-famous beauties, but now he was surprised and amazed to see Aniston and Yang Cheng sitting together eating and joking very well.

Aniston is really beautiful!

"Hello, Caesar!" Zahavi smiled and stretched out his hand, "I'm an Israeli agent, my name is Pinny Zahavi, and I'm also the agent of Peron and Ferdinand!" ”

Yang Cheng nodded, although Yang Cheng was a little unhappy about the Israeli's operation of Veron's transfer to Manchester United, he did not blame it, after all, everyone is his own master, which is inevitable.

"Is there something wrong?" Yang Cheng recognized Roman Abramovich, and he looked directly at the Russian.

"That's right, I appreciate Mr. Yang Cheng's coaching level very much, and I want to buy a team......"

"Chelsea?" Yang Cheng blurted out.

Abramovich was stunned, shook his head and said: "It's not confirmed yet, but I'm very interested in this team." ”

He also thought that Yang Cheng was very optimistic about this team, and immediately took Chelsea's name to heart, but Arsenal, who had a good talk before, was put aside by him.

"Oh, is it? Congratulations! Yang Cheng responded politely.

"I hope Mr. Yang Cheng can be the head coach of my team." Abramovich said confidently.

Confident, even a little arrogant, this is Yang Cheng's view of this Russian, he does not deny that Abramovich has a very good personal charm, but his words are more or less a little condescending. This is very similar to Florentino, except that the Russians are overflowing, while the Spaniards are more reserved, but they are not the type that Yang Cheng likes.

"You don't even have a team, so you're in a hurry to find a manager?" Yang Cheng smiled.

Zahavi also laughed and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Abramovich can be said to have decided to invest in football under the influence of Mr. Yang Cheng, he is a novice who has just joined the fan family, so he hopes to get Mr. Yang Cheng's help." ”

Speaking of this, Abramovich looked serious.

"Yes, Pinny is right, I have liked football since the beginning of 2002, when I went to a familiar restaurant to eat, with some friends, but the owner of the restaurant had a bad attitude that day, so I asked him, why, and he scolded me, but at the same time he scolded another team, Inter Milan!"

Speaking of this, Abramovich laughed, "It turns out that the team he supports is AC Milan, he hates Inter Milan for beating the team he loves, for which he even sulls for several days in a row, and he doesn't want to do business, I was thinking, what kind of thing can make a person obsessed with this?" ”

"So, I decided to go to the football game, I watched the games of Inter Milan, I watched the games of many other teams, and then I went to South Korea and Japan to watch the World Cup, and I gradually understood that I like the world!"

Abramovich opened his arms wantonly, unspeakably bold.

Even if you hate Abramovich, you have to admit that he is really charismatic and his words are very convincing.

"I'm a rich man, and they call us oligarchs, but I can tell you that my best friends are not the people who help me make and manage my wealth, but the brothers who lick every last drop of vodka with me, and I decided to go into the world of football because I think there will be a little more people like that here."

Yang Cheng couldn't help nodding, "Indeed!" ”

"It's harder for me to spend money than how to make money, because every time I spend money, I measure whether I'm spending it or not. But in my credo, there are two ways to spend money that I don't care about, one is for love, and the other is for hate. ”

"I love football, so I'm willing to put in more."

Indeed, Abramovich's words immediately made Yang Cheng, who has a deep passion for football, feel very touched after listening to it, and feel that he seemed to be prejudiced against this Russian before.

Thinking back to the report he had seen before, he had to admit one thing.

After 03 years, European football began to fully bear the bubble crisis created by the previous large investment, and almost all clubs were in financial difficulties, so Real Madrid was able to frequently wave the euro cheque in their hands to buy other people's superstars, because they were the few financial owners on the continent who could afford to spend money.

And the appearance of Abramovich at this time, coupled with his huge investment, made him indeed save a lot of endangered teams to some extent, at least those teams that were poached by him have benefited, right?

Speaking of the savior, it passed, but at least he did contribute.

Zahavi saw Yang Cheng's movedness, so he said with a smile on the side: "In addition to preparing to buy a team, Mr. Abramovich is also preparing a transfer fee of 200 million pounds, and he is ready to make a big splash of reinforcements this summer. ”

After a deliberate pause, the cunning agent immediately laughed and reminded: "Caesar, you should know very well that this money can definitely create the most luxurious team in today's transfer market." ”

Yang Cheng agrees with this analysis, because today's transfer market is indeed very sluggish, and all clubs are short of money, so it is very easy to poach people.

"In addition to the huge transfer fee, Mr. Abramovich will also provide Mr. Yang Cheng with the highest salary in the world as a manager, you can get a salary of £6 million after tax, as well as a huge bonus of five years and liquidated damages of £20 million." Zahavi threw out another bombshell temptation.

The salary of 6 million pounds is about 9 million euros, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the annual salary of Yang Cheng's world's top head coach, breaking the current annual salary of 5.5 million euros for the world's top head coach at Inter Milan, which is a huge temptation for anyone. By Zahavi's standards, whoever refuses this temptation is a fool and an idiot.

Even Aniston felt that Yang Cheng should be unlikely to refuse, because this was almost a sky-high price.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "Give me some time to think about it!" ”

He did think about leaving Inter Milan at the end of the season, provided that he could win the Champions League and complete the unprecedented treble, as long as he achieved the goal, he would go, and neither Moratti nor Facchetti would stop him, which was their previous agreement.

But when he joined Chelsea, he really didn't think about it, not that he wouldn't go without thinking about it, but he always felt that Abramovich's words were not honest enough, and he was worried about Abramovich's character.

After all, he is a rich man, once Chelsea becomes his bag, then Yang Cheng is his employee, even Mourinho is difficult to avoid, Yang Cheng does not feel that he will not be disturbed, and it is precisely he who hates it the most is to be disturbed. Yang Cheng has a quirk, or sense of self-preservation, that is, he would rather not go than regret it in the future.

Zahavi and Abramovich glanced at each other, neither of them thought that Yang Cheng would agree at once, so they also expressed their understanding and exchanged a few polite words with Yang Cheng.

"Anyway, I'm really happy to know you, Mr. Yang Cheng!" Abramovich smiled and held out his hand.

Yang Cheng stood up and nodded, "Me too, Mr. Abramovich, whether there is a chance to cooperate or not, I hope we can all become friends!" ”

"Of course, we're already friends, so please call me Roman in the future, I like my friends to call me by my name!"

"Me too!" Yang Cheng responded with a smile.

Abramovich is a very neat person, and he failed to get Yang Cheng's promise, but he still didn't have nostalgia and left directly with Zahavi.

It wasn't until they got out of Isola Bella and sat in Abramovich's car that the Russian sighed deeply.

"He's such a careful guy!" Abramovich shook his head and said helplessly.

Zahavi smiled, "That's natural, Caesar's nickname is not called for nothing, but I'm very confident that you have given him such a huge temptation, I don't think he will refuse, not to mention, I have accurate information, there was an agreement between him and Moratti." ”

"Leaving Inter Milan after winning the Champions League?" Abramovich also heard about this agreement from newspapers.

Although it has not been recognized by the parties concerned, there is no doubt that everyone knows that Yang Cheng, who almost left Inter Milan last summer, is very likely to leave Inter Milan if he wins another Champions League, because he is completely tired of losing Serie A, and he hates this league.

"The only reason he stayed at Inter was that he didn't keep his promise, but if the team wins the treble this season, that promise will be fulfilled, he won't stay, everybody knows all this, so you can see that Real Madrid, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and other teams are in close contact with him, and even Barcelona, Juventus, AC Milan are considering putting him on the shortlist."

"He's like a phenomenon, a phenomenon that is unique in today's football, and everyone wants to get him!" Zahavi touted it.

Abramovich smiled and said confidently: "So, I will do everything possible to get him!" ”

There was a wave of fervor and determination in his eyes! ）
