Chapter 12: Local Tyrants in Action (Happy Chinese New Year!) )
Chelsea Football Club has captivated supporters with its elusive charm over the years, and Stamford Bridge has become the scene of some classic competitions. Chelsea Football Club was founded in 1905 and they insisted on playing beautiful football to delight their fans, but they never won the title. In 1955, Chelsea won the top flight for the first time in their history, making it the only league trophy in the Chelsea Hall of Fame.
In the 60s and 70s, Chelsea enjoyed their golden age, winning the League Cup, FA Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup. In the 90s, Chelsea distinguished themselves in the Premier League by recruiting a large number of talented foreign players, and soon added trophies from the 1994 FA Cup, 1998 League Cup, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Super Cup to their home cabinet. In 2000, they won the FA Cup again, the most recent of their reign.
Before the 2003/04 season, Russian Roman Roman Abramovich took charge of Chelsea Football Club and set off a takeover storm in the European transfer market, with Chelsea overpowering Manchester United to win the league runners-up and a historic semi-final in the Champions Cup.
In addition, Frank Lampard's stability, the addition of new signings such as Kezman, Robben and Drogba have made the Blues squad stable and rising, and the Premier League Blue Revolution storm will launch a new round of impact on the traditional two giants.
Before the start of the season, Chelsea's golden storm that swept through Europe was still not over.
Jose Mourinho has said he wants to "see all the players" before going to the United States for the Champions World Series. But he broke his promise, and Chelsea's gluttonous feast in the transfer market is not over.
On the evening of July 26, 26-year-old Portuguese central defender Carvalho flew to London. On the 27th, he underwent a medical examination at Stamford Bridge and negotiated personal terms before joining Chelsea. Previously, Carvalho's agent Mendes, who is also Mourinho's agent, revealed that the two clubs had agreed on a transfer. Porto claim that Carvalho has a transfer fee of £19.9 million (€30 million) and that Carvalho has also become the third most expensive defender in the world, behind Rio Ferdinand and Thuram.
Together with the previously bought Robben, Cech, Kezman, Paulo Ferreira, Drogba, Thiago, and Jonker, Chelsea's transfer expenditure this summer has been close to 140 million euros, and the total expenditure of the traditional European nine, including Real Madrid, AC Milan, Manchester United, and Bayern, has just reached 150 million euros so far this summer! It is no exaggeration to say that Abramovich's money bag alone can almost rival the coffers of the G14 giants. He has spent more than £210 million in the transfer market since taking over Chelsea.
Carvalho has excellent headers and assists. In May this year, he won the Champions League with Jose Mourinho. He only failed to start in the opening game against Greece at this summer's European Championships, and was a regular for Portugal for the rest of the game, eventually making the all-star squad for the tournament. Mourinho was pleased with Carvalho's arrival: "We need to strengthen in the centre-back position, we only had Hut and John Terry in that position, which is unthinkable at a high level of play today. ”
Carvalho's arrival has put an ounce of pressure on the Blues' defenders. Captain John Terry said: 'With Desailly gone, we do need a centre-back because there have been a lot of games this season. I don't think as captain I'm going to be the manager's automatic choice. I need to work hard to win the start. ”
Chelsea's lightning takeout of Carvalho prevented Real Madrid from making a half-way move, having earlier been rejected by Porto for an offer that was too low. Jose Mourinho's side beat Celtic 4-2 in Seattle on Saturday and the result was certainly gratifying, but in the face of the embarrassment of conceding two goals in a row, it was necessary to add a central defender.
Carvalho's arrival will bring the number of Chelsea first-team players to exactly 24, the maximum number of players Mourinho has always insisted on. Chelsea's summer burn campaign has come to an end.
Chelsea's madness seems to be aimed at only one person, and that person's name is Mendes, and every Chelsea transfer in the new season seems to be inextricably linked to this name, what made the Portuguese agent big man conquer Chelsea so quickly?
If nothing else, the madman Mourinho, most of the transfer lists he handed over to Chelsea are his old department in Porto, plus all the popular new stars on the Internet, Chelsea's new young squad is beginning to take shape.
The money is smashed by 24 or 5-year-old players, this set of young squad is enough to support Chelsea's glory for 4 or 5 years, it seems that Chelsea is a crazy buy, but everyone knows that Chelsea's owner Abu is an ambitious owner, the money is not spent indiscriminately, he is investing in the future.
Chelsea's sideways appearance has made Manchester United and other Premier League giants feel extremely pressure, although the traditional giants are satirizing Chelsea's golden offensive, saying that the local tyrants are coming, but in the eyes of the British media, the rise of Chelsea is not necessarily a good thing, all know that the Premier League has fallen into a Manchester United and Arsenal hegemony situation this year.
The Blues Chelsea have suddenly joined the ranks of the title race, which is bound to make the Premier League title pattern more intense, and the situation of the two giants and local tyrants can attract fans more.
Jonk is in the Chelsea team, no matter when, it has become very inconspicuous, the big-name players have arrived one by one, what yacht has been signed, and the giants have been entertained at night dinners, all of which cannot have any connection with him, and they both belong to Mendes, why is there such a big gap?
No way, who called him the most uneasy one for Mendes, a simple signing ceremony can have an accident, and now Mendes is still glad that Abu didn't come to that signing ceremony, or the cooperation in the future, it is likely that there will be no more!
IT'S JUST THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT AS GOOD AS HEAVEN, BEFORE THE START OF THE NEW SEASON, ABOU WILL HAVE A BIG PARTY FOR THE CHELSEA GENERALS ON HIS LUXURY YACHT, AND JUNK WILL STILL MEET CHELSEA'S OWNER ABOU.
Mendes, as the agent of many players, is also in the ranks of the invitation, but he knows that there is Jonk to attend, why does his heart always tremble inexplicably?
