    Niites' arrival at Stamford Bridge did not cause much excitement in England, but it caused a huge response in faraway China.

    Among the four teams participating in the European Champions Cup in the Premier League this season, namely Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle, the top four teams in the Premier League last season, except for Manchester United's Ferguson, the other three head coaches have different nationalities and ages.  Different, different experiencesbut they have one thing in common, that is, they have all coached at Yunjia Tianyu for a long time!

    The head coaches of the three major Premier League clubs have all coached in the Chinese league for a period of time, which is enough to make the Chinese people proud. Especially after entering the 21st century, the number of Chinese Premier League fans has increased a lot, even more than the traditional number.  The trend of Serie A, which has the largest number of Chinese fans, and the increasing connections between the Premier League and Chinese football have also made Chinese fans pay more attention to Great Britain.

    Among the three coaches, Wenger stayed in China for the shortest time, only one and a half years, and one of the years was spent in the then second-tier League A B. However, in the hearts of Chinese fans, the personable Wenger  Wenger is more worthy of their liking, not only because he helped Yunjia Tianyu win the A-B championship and the FA Cup championship, but also because of his outstanding performance at Arsenal.

    In fact, in terms of results, Wenger's Arsenal are not particularly outstanding. They have won three Premier League championships and three FA Cup championships in ten years. However, in the Champions League, which is the most important thing for Chinese fans, Wenger's team's performance was lackluster.  The quarterfinals this season were Wenger's best result in the Champions League when he was at Arsenal.

    He is respected by Chinese fans mainly because of his insistence on offensive play, which turned Arsenal, a once rough and unattractive team, into the most beautiful football club on the European continent, even if it is not as good as Manchester United's Ferguson in terms of results.  .  But his reputation is even higher than that of the Scots.

    Chinese fans also have a very good impression of Benitez, but that is more due to the wonderful days when he led the Chinese national team, entered the World Cup finals for the first time, and scored a goal in the World Cup for the first time.  The first time he scored in the World Cup, the first time he won the World Cup Rafael Benitez has created so many firsts for Chinese football, which is enough for him to have a supreme position in the hearts of Chinese fans.  status.

    On the contrary, now he is in a club with two Chinese people - chairman Pei Wei and midfielder Fei - and led this club to win the European Champions Cup.  Mourinho, who achieved Nie Fei's honor as "the first player in Asia to win the Champions League".  But he is one of the three coaches who is not very popular among Chinese fans.

    Maybe it's because he's so handsome that his male compatriots are jealous, maybe it's because he never cooperates with the media and is hated by the media, maybe it's because his tactics are too utilitarian Anyway, Jose Mourinho is  Arthur Wenger and Rafael Benitez are not popular among Chinese fans.

    But does Mourinho care?  He doesn't care, that's just his character.  People who like him will only be fans of the team he coaches, because he can lead the team to victory, and can attack back with more harsh words when the team is attacked I made a mistake just now.  The majority of Chinese fans who don't like Mourinho are other Chinese fans besides Yunjia Tianyu fans.

    *********************************************

    The shock to Chinese fans that Benitez took over as Chelsea has not subsided, and then he gave Chinese fans an even bigger shock - on July 1, Chelsea announced that it had acquired a 1,800-dollar deal from Valencia, Spain.  The Chinese midfielder Deco was introduced for 10,000 pounds. The 26-year-old attacking midfielder signed a four-year contract with Chelsea. The annual salary was not disclosed, but it can be expected that it will definitely be better than the 2 million euros he received in Valencia.  Land salaries are much higher.

    ¡°The fourth Chinese to play in the top Premier League club!¡±

    The British media used this headline to introduce Deco, who joined Chelsea, while the Chinese media used an even more shocking headline: "The Chinese player with the highest net worth in Europe is born!"

    In the past, the most valuable Chinese player was Nie Fei.  When he transferred to Roma, he was worth 16 million US dollars, which at the time had already created a value for Chinese and even Asian player transfers. Three years later.  His value has increased again, and the price of 12 million pounds has once again set a new transfer record.  But this time, Deco improved his record by six million pounds in one breath!

    This probably has something to do with Abramovich being the one who took advantage of him. Originally, Valencia was unwilling to let go of Deco, the core midfielder, but Abramovich offered a price of 14 million pounds as soon as he came up. You must know that Deco was from  When Yunjia Tianyu transferred to Benitez, it only cost them 8 million euros and 20% of the secondary transfer share!

    Valencia hesitated, but Chelsea soon?The price was increased again by four million pounds to eighteen million

    The current exchange rate between the pound and the euro is 1:1.5, and 18 million pounds is equivalent to 27 million euros. In other words, as long as Valencia agrees, it will make a net profit of 10% from Deco.  Nineteen million euros, even if 20% of the share to Yunjia Tianyu is deducted, Valencia can still obtain more than thirteen million euros!

    This is a lot of money!

    Under Abramovich's gold and dollar offensive, Valencia succumbed. What's more, Deco also hopes to continue playing under Benitez. The new head coach may not value him, a confidant of the previous head coach, and leave.  Valencia is also what he hopes for.

    Once an emperor, there are courtiers, and this is also true in the world of football. Deco coming to Chelsea is beneficial to both himself and Benitez. Benitez has a trustworthy person, and Deco also has a trustworthy person.  There¡¯s no need to be pissed off by the new coach.

    Of course, Benitez cannot only buy one person during this summer's transfer period. From the day he was about to leave Valencia, Benitez, who made a decision before making any move, had made plans for several clubs that he might go to.  After careful study, in fact, there are only a few companies that have the ability to hire him and that he will be interested in. Chelsea, Liverpool and Real Madrid have fired their coaches in advance, Inter Milan is preparing to fire their coaches, and other giants either have coaching positions.  Very stable, or the league style is not suitable for him. As for other small and medium-sized teams, Benitez has no interest. After all, he is also the double champion coach of La Liga and the UEFA Cup. It is the hottest time, how can he surpass  I'm going back to Yue.

    He clearly sees Chelsea¡¯s shortcomings. Center forward, defensive midfielder, and organizational midfielder are the three positions Chelsea currently lacks.

    Crespo is an excellent shooter, but he is not the ideal center in Benitez's mind, and his style is incompatible with the Premier League. Benitez wants someone who is physically strong and can be at the forefront, and he does not hesitate to do so.  The center is just like Drogba of Yunjia Tianyu in the past.

    It¡¯s just that Benitez knows that Drogba can¡¯t even think about it. He is very familiar with Pei Wei. Marseille is destined to be just a springboard. He wants to snatch Drogba and Ribery from Newcastle without even talking about it!

    Deco is his ideal candidate for organizing the midfield. Although there is some conflict with Lampard in terms of position, he believes that the two can coexist on the court. Deco is responsible for organization and Lampard is responsible for offense.

    Only the defensive midfielder is difficult to choose. In Europe these days, not to mention offensive and defensive midfielders like Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira are difficult to find. Even pure coolie midfielders are difficult to choose.  Niites even believes that Chelsea's biggest failure in the transfer market last year was precisely their failure to compete with Newcastle for the transfer of Claude Makelele.

    Look, Newcastle, with Makelele, has completely stiffened up. With him running back and forth in the backcourt, blocking, and anticipating the ball, Nie Fei, Ibrahimovic, and Shearer in front can attack boldly with confidence.

    And what about Real Madrid who let Makelele go?  Although they received a transfer fee of 16 million pounds from Makelele's transfer, this money is nothing compared to what they lost - whether it was Beckham or Cambiaso  None of them can replace Makelele's role on the court. Losing the Champions League, losing the league, and losing the King's Cup - although losing these games is not just because of letting Makelele go, but the lack of such a capable defender.  The midfielder who built a solid barrier in front of him was definitely a big reason.

    In addition to Deco, he must at least find an excellent center and a defensive midfielder in the transfer market. This is his most basic requirement. Of course, if there are better candidates in other positions, he  I wouldn¡¯t mind letting Abu spend more money

    So after the introduction of Deco, Chelsea continued to attack in the transfer market. Their style has not changed. After they are interested in a player, they will immediately send a check to the opponent's club. If they don't agree, they will continue to send checks to the opponent's club until the other party agrees

    I have to say, this method is very useful.

    He bought Spanish goalkeeper Reina from the Barcelona youth academy from Villarreal for 8 million pounds. He snatched the 20-year-old wing genius Robben from Eindhoven from Manchester United for 12 million pounds.  Nine million pounds was used to buy the Portuguese international defender Carvalho, who shone in Portugal this summer, and five and a half million pounds was used to dig up Serbian and Montenegro forward Ke?man from Eindhoven, who has found no match in the Eredivisie.  In just ten days, before most European clubs started transfers, Abramovich once again went crazy and spent 62.5 million pounds on the transfer market, introducing a goalkeeper and a defender.  Two midfielders and one forward!
