Chapter 434 The turbulent English football world

Duff's transfer has a huge impact.

32 million pounds also let everyone see Abrahimovic's ambition. So far, he has spent more than 70 million pounds in the transfer market. The current English football world is really shocked.

Because it seems that this Russian tycoon has a lot of money. And it's like his money is water, there is no end at all.

The most important thing is that Duff is the most famous and strongest player in Chelsea's transfer market.

Although Chelsea had bought Veron from Manchester United before Duff. But Veron failed in the Premier League. When Manchester United bought Veron, Veron was a famous Italian player. He was also an excellent midfield conductor in European football.

But after arriving at Manchester United, Veron has never adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League.

So although Chelsea bought Veron, it was not shocking that they bought Duff. Duff is one of the best right winger in the Premier League and has made great contributions in Blackburn's Champions League and league championships.

More importantly, Duff is a product of Blackburn's youth training camp. Although he is not a native English player, he is no different from a native player.

He has been influenced by English football since he was a child. He is completely at ease in the English football world. When he arrived at Chelsea, he did not need to adapt.

Chelsea is also very generous. As soon as Duff arrived at Chelsea, he was given a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds. This salary is definitely the highest in the entire European football world. Even the salaries of Raul, Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham, Figo and others from Real Madrid are no more than that.

It can even be said that most of their salaries are not as good as Duff.

For example, the salary of Raul and Zidane is only 6 million euros per year. But Duff's annual salary has reached more than 5 million pounds.

Duff is very strong. This is recognized by everyone in European football. But Duff's fame is definitely not comparable to those superstars of Real Madrid. Don't say Ronaldo and Zidane are compared, the two of them are players who are chasing the king of football.

Let's talk about Figo, that is the core of Portugal. He was once the captain of Barcelona and the best right winger in the world. He has also won the Footballer of the Year.

Raul is the Prince of Madrid and the Prince of Spain. Many people say that Raul is lucky to be born in Madrid. But from another perspective, being able to play as a main player in Real Madrid at a young age shows his strength.

But the salaries of these world-class superstars cannot be compared with Duff.

This also makes many people see Chelsea's generosity. Chelsea is not short of money.

Seeing Duff's weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, George was very angry. When facing reporters, he was very dissatisfied with Chelsea's approach.

"Chelsea's approach is completely disrupting the normal football market. And it will also cause chaos in the transfer market. They all use high salaries to lure players, so they will definitely not be able to control the growth of players' salaries. We welcome normal salary increases, but unrestrained salary increases like Chelsea will increase the burden on the club."

George is really dissatisfied with Chelsea's random salary increase.

Duff 100,000 pounds. What would players like Pires, Klose, and Miku think?

If there is no idea, George will never believe it. Thinking of these gives George a headache and also makes George angry.

Because this is an increasing burden for teams like Blackburn. If you don't raise salaries, you can't keep the players. If you raise salaries, the club can't afford it.

Many media outlets find George's criticism of Chelsea extremely funny.

When Abrahimovic first came to the English football world, George welcomed him. Now that Chelsea has extended its hand to his territory, George has begun to criticize him.

Criticizing him for salary problems?

Normal people will know if they think about it. Why can Chelsea compare with Real Madrid? What can it use to attract players?

Chelsea is just a strong team in the upper middle of the Premier League. If it weren't for money, high transfer fees and salaries that exceed other clubs, how could it attract high-level players? Didn't you Blackburn do the same thing back then?

George's criticism is definitely not the first, nor the last.

Many people in the English football world instinctively reject Abrahimovic. At first, it was because the English football world was conservative and they didn't want outsiders to get involved. But later it was because of a panic.

The Premier League has already had a precedent of buying a championship with money, and that was Blackburn. But now Chelsea's Abrahimovic is obviously crazier than Jack Walker. This is a person who doesn't take money as money.

70 million pounds, he throws it out without blinking.

How could such a rich man come to the Premier League without causing panic in other clubs.

So it is normal to denounce Chelsea's blind salary increase. There are definitely many media in England that accuse Chelsea.

But no matter what outsiders say, Chelsea doesn't care. Duff's transfer is not the end.

Just bought Duff from Blackburn, Chelsea poached from Blackburn again. This time they want to poach Klose, and the first offer is 30 million pounds. But after George asked Klose, he directly refused.

Although once Klose transfers, the salary will be more than 100,000 pounds, but Klose did not choose to leave like Duff. George is very satisfied, worthy of being his own direct player.

In addition to Klose, Chelsea is targeting Gallas who is frustrated in Blackburn.

Although Gallas was a substitute in Blackburn, he played a lot of games. Because he was an all-around player in Blackburn's defense, he had a lot of opportunities to play. Gallas also contributed to Blackburn's outstanding performance in recent years.

In the end, Chelsea bought Gallas for 9 million pounds.

Of course, Chelsea's crazy transfers are not over yet.

They first bought Mutu from Parma for 15 million pounds, and then bought Crespo from Inter Milan for 17 million pounds.

Although these two transfers were not as shocking as Duff's transfer, they still shocked the European football world.

Crespo has been famous for a long time. As early as 1996, when Crespo was in Argentina, he scored ten goals in 13 games in the Copa Libertadores and helped River Plate win the Copa Libertadores.

And after Crespo came to Italy, his performance was also very good.

Especially in the 00-01 season, Crespo was completely a god. He not only became the top scorer in Serie A in Parma, but also scored 50 goals in 56 games throughout the year. This performance allowed Crespo to join the ranks of world-class shooters.

Although he failed to become Inter Milan's main striker last season because of the many good players. But Crespo still played 12 times in the Champions League and scored 9 goals. What kind of performance is this.

Therefore, Crespo's arrival at Chelsea shocked everyone.

If Crespo is a world-class player who has been famous for a long time. Then Mutu is a player who has performed very well in the Italian football world in the past two seasons.

Of course, it does not mean that Mutu is very young or that he became famous very late. In fact, Mutu became famous very early. As early as his teens, he had already become famous as a teenager. He was already spotted by Inter Milan at the age of 20.

However, Inter Milan is not a place for young people. At that time, Inter Milan did not even have a place for players of Recoba's level. As for Mutu, it can only be a tragedy.

Mutu had to leave Inter Milan and start wandering. Until he arrived in Parma, the striker combination formed with Adriano was invincible in Italian football. Therefore, it attracted the attention of European football.

The arrival of Crespo and Mutu attracted the attention of all European football. Because Abrahimovic has spent more than 110 million pounds on Chelsea's transfer fee.

At this time, many people in the English football world began to think of a little story.

I don't know who spread it.

It is said that when Abrahimovic just took over Chelsea, Ranieri came to Abrahimovic's office very nervously, because everyone was too unfamiliar with the new boss. Unexpectedly, Ranieri just came to Abrahimovic's office, and Abrahimovic gave Ranieri a blank paper.

Then told Ranieri to write down what players he wanted.

As for the money issue, Ranieri didn't need to consider it. This is almost like Abrahimovic gave Ranieri a blank check and told Ranieri to fill in the transfer fee casually.

I don't know if this story is true. Anyway, it is said with nose and eyes, but now everyone believes it. What is a blank check? This is a blank check. In a transfer period, he invested more than 110 million pounds without blinking.

Who has such courage in today's football world?

Florentino, the most powerful player in European football in recent years, can't do it. Of course, even Moratti of Inter Milan doesn't dare to spend so much money.

…………

Chelsea is getting stronger and stronger in the transfer market.

But George has a headache. Now Duff is gone, Gallas is gone, Hakan Suk has retired, Henning Berg has retired, and Blanco is going to be a full-time coach. With so many players missing at once, George has to consider supplementing the team's lineup.

Duff, this is Blackburn's main player.

Even if Kaka rose strongly last season, Duff's playing time was almost the same as Pires and Miku. Now that Duff has left Blackburn, George has to find a replacement for him. Who should he find?

Now Blackburn's wingers only have Pires and Hleb.

Ribery may be able to become a regular player in the first team this season. But even so, Blackburn is still short on the wing. It is the safest to get four wingers.

Gallas, the all-around defender, also left. In addition, Henning Berg and Blanco have also left. Now Blackburn's defense line is obviously short of people.

There are only Lucio and Campbell as central defenders, and only Riise as left back. There is no worry about the right side, because there is no problem with Sagnol and Sun Jihai. But central defenders and left backs need to find people.

George has a headache just thinking about it.

Hakan Sukur retired from the forward line. A backup striker is also needed.

While George was thinking about it, other strong teams in English football had already started their transfers.

Manchester United has already lost two world-class stars this summer. Veron is easy to say, after all, Veron is a marginalized star in Manchester United. Because he has not been able to fully integrate into the rhythm of the Premier League, Veron's departure is not a big deal.

But Beckham is different.

Since 1995-1996, Beckham has always firmly controlled Manchester United's right side since his sudden rise. He is the absolute main force of Manchester United's right side. Now Beckham is gone, Manchester United lacks a right winger.

Ferguson has his eye on Sporting Lisbon's Cristiano Ronaldo. It cost 12 million pounds to grab the Portuguese star. He also bought Kleberson, the first Brazilian star in Manchester United's history, for a transfer price of 6.5 million pounds.

There are also some small transfers, including French forward Bellion and American goalkeeper Howard.

Compared to Chelsea, Manchester United's transfer actions are much simpler.

Of course, this is especially true for Arsenal transfers. Arsenal only have two transfers this summer, which would definitely make other strong teams laugh out loud. Because their biggest transfer was actually buying Dortmund goalkeeper Lehmann for 3.5 million.

In addition to this transfer, there is also the purchase of Clichy for 250,000.

This is not a transfer from a wealthy club. Even the Premier League's relegated teams' actions in the summer were much better than Arsenal's.

Liverpool's movements are also much smaller.

Liverpool have only made one move this summer. That was spending £4 million on right-back Finnan.

Arsenal and Liverpool's actions are not as good as Tottenham, another strong team in London. Tottenham spent more than £10 million on Zamora, Postiga and Kanoute this summer. Although it is not much, it is much more generous than Liverpool and Arsenal.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, their actions in the summer are simple. Compared to the excitement of Chelsea, they seemed to be doing nothing.

As for Blackburn, there has been no action so far.

Because George is waiting.

Or George was thinking about how he should add it. Thirty-two million pounds, nine million pounds, that's 40 million pounds of revenue. George didn't know how to respond. It is to buy some powerful generals to supplement the team's strength.

We should still buy some veterans or talented players to enrich Blackburn's bench.

Forty million pounds?

If you use this money, you should be able to buy some good players.

"Laurent, Karl, what do you mean?"

Blanco looked at George and asked: "George, are you satisfied with the current main lineup, or do you want to..."

George pondered for a moment.

"The main lineup should be said to be satisfactory. Even if Damien leaves, the main lineup can still handle it."

Blanco smiled when he heard George's words.

"That's easy. George, your request is for the bench. Then before I want to buy players, you should take a look below."

"Down below? You mean the youth team?"

Blanco nodded.

"Yes. We still have a lot of good prospects in our youth team. It shouldn't be a problem to be a substitute."

George looked up at Karl.

Carl saw George's eyes and already understood what George meant. Karl usually not only takes charge of the team's training, but is also the most familiar with the youth team. Carl nodded. Then he took out some information and gave it to George.

George picked it up and looked at it. They were all the youth team player lists recommended to George by Karl.
