Chapter 434 The Turbulent English Football World
Duff's transfer has a huge impact.

3000 and two million pounds also let everyone see Abrahimovic's ambitions.So far he has spent more than 7000 million pounds in the transfer market.The current English football world is really shocked.

Because it looks like the Russian billionaire has plenty of money.And it's as if his money is water, with no end in sight.

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

Although before Duff, Chelsea had bought Veron from Manchester United.But Veron was a failure in the Premier League.When Manchester United bought Veron that year, Veron was a famous Italian player.He is 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 shocking that they didn't buy Duff at all.Duff is one of the best right midfielders in the Premier League, and he has made great contributions in the process of Blackburn winning the Champions League and the league championship.

What's more, Duff is a product of Blackburn's academy.Although he is not a local player in England, he is no different from a local player.

Influenced by English football since childhood.In English football, it is completely at ease.At Chelsea, it didn't take much to get used to.

Chelsea is also very generous.As soon as Duff arrived at Chelsea, he gave Duff a weekly salary of [-] pounds.This salary is definitely the best in the entire European football.Even the salaries of Real Madrid's Raul, Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham, Figo and others are no more than that.

It can even be said that most of them are not as well paid as Duff.

For example, the salaries of Raul and Zidane are only 600 million euros per year.But Duff's annual salary has already reached more than 500 million pounds.

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

Just talk about Figo, that is the core of Portugal.He used to be the captain of Barcelona and the best right midfielder in the world.Players who have also won Mr. Football.

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

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

This also made many people see Chelsea's boldness.Chelsea are not short of money.

Seeing Duff's £[-]-a-week salary made George angry.When facing reporters, I was very dissatisfied with Chelsea's approach.

"Chelsea's approach is completely disrupting the normal football market. It will also cause chaos in the transfer market. They all use high salaries to lure players, so it must be impossible to control the increase in player salaries. We welcome normal salary increases , but unrestrained salary increases like Chelsea's will add more burden to the club."

George is really dissatisfied with Chelsea's behavior of raising salary indiscriminately.

One hundred thousand pounds for Duff.So what would Pires, Klose, and Micoud think?
George wouldn't believe it if he had no idea.Thinking of all this gave George a headache, and it made George angry as well.

Because the burden on a team like Blackburn is getting heavier.Without an increase in salary, players cannot be retained.The club cannot afford to raise wages.

Many media found it extremely funny that George came out to criticize Chelsea.

When Abrahimovic first came to English football, George welcomed him.Now that Chelsea have put their hands in their own turf, George is criticizing others.

Is there a problem with criticizing other people's salary?
Normal people just need to think about it.Why should Chelsea be compared to Real Madrid?What does he use to attract players?
Chelsea is just a strong team in the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League. If it is not for money, high transfer fees and salaries that exceed those of other clubs, how can it be possible to attract high-level players.Didn’t you Blackburn do the same back then?
George's attack is definitely not the first, nor will it be the last.

For Abrahimovic, many people in English football instinctively reject him.In the beginning, it was because English football was conservative and they didn't want outsiders to get involved.But then it was because of a panic.

There has been a precedent in the Premier League for money to buy a championship, and that is Blackburn.But now Chelsea's Abrahimovic is obviously crazier than Jack Walker.This is a man who doesn't take money for money.

7000 million pounds, thrown out without batting an eyelid.

How can this kind of rich man not make other clubs panic when they come to the Premier League.

Therefore, it is normal to condemn Chelsea's behavior of blindly raising wages.There are definitely not a few media in England who have accused 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 dig Klose, the first offer is 3000 million pounds.But after George asked Klose, he refused directly.

Although once Klose transfers, the salary will be more than [-] pounds, but Klose did not choose to leave like Duff.George is very satisfied, he deserves to be his direct player.

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

Although Gallas was a substitute at Blackburn, he played a lot of games.Because he is an all-around player in Blackburn's defense, there are still many opportunities to play.Gallas also contributed to Blackburn's outstanding performance over the years.

In the end Chelsea bought Gallas for £900 million.

Of course, Chelsea's crazy transfer is not over yet.

They first bought Mutu from Parma for 500 million pounds, and then bought Crespo from Inter Milan for 700 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, helping the River Plate team win the Copa Libertadores.

And after Crespo came to Italy, he performed very well.

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

Although he was in Inter Milan last season, he was not able to become Inter Milan's main striker because of his many players.But Crespo still played 12 times in the Champions League and scored 9 goals.What kind of performance is this.

Therefore, Crespo came to Chelsea, which shocked everyone a lot.

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

Of course it doesn't 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.At only 20 years old, he was already spotted by Inter Milan.

But how can Inter Milan be mixed by juniors.At that time, Inter Milan didn't even have a player of Recoba's level.As for Mutu, it can only be a tragedy.

Mutu had no choice but to leave Inter Milan and start wandering.All the way to Parma, the striker combination with Adriano is invincible in Italian football.It has also attracted the attention of European football.

The arrival of Crespo and Mutu immediately attracted the attention of all European football.Because Abrahimovic has already spent more than 1000 million pounds in transfer fees for Chelsea.

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

I don't know who passed it on.

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

Then tell Ranieri, what player you want, write it there.

As for the issue of money, there is no need for Ranieri to consider it.This is almost what Abramovich gave Ranieri a blank check and told Ranieri to fill in the transfer fee at will.

I don't know if this story is true or not.Anyway, it is said that there are noses and eyes, but now everyone believes it.What is a blank check, this is a blank check.In one transfer period, without blinking an eyelid, he invested more than 1000 million pounds.

Who has such courage in today's football.

Florentino, who has been the fiercest in European football in recent years, can't do it either.Of course, even Inter Milan's Moratti would not dare to spend such money.

…………

Chelsea are getting better and better in the transfer market.

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

Duff, this is Blackburn's main player.

Even with Kaka's strong rise last season, Duff's playing time is almost the same as that of Pires and Micoud.Now that Duff has left Blackburn, George has to find a replacement for him.Who should I contact?
Now Blackburn's wing, only Pires and Hleb are left.

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

The all-round defender Gallas also left.In addition, Henning Berg, Blanco and several defenders have left.Now Blackburn's defense is obviously short of people.

There are only Lucio and Campbell at the center back, and Riise is the only left back.There is no need to worry about the right side, because Sagnol and Sun Jihai have no problems.But the central defender and the left back need to find someone.

Just thinking about it gives George a headache.

Forward Hakan Suker has retired.Also look for a backup striker.

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

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

But Beckham is different.

Since 95-96, since Beckham's sudden emergence, he has always firmly controlled Manchester United's right wing.It is the absolute main force of Manchester United on the right.Now that Beckham is gone, Manchester United lacks a right midfielder.

Ferguson has his eye on Sporting Lisbon's Cristiano Ronaldo.It took a price of 1200 million pounds to grab the Portuguese star.And also bought the first Brazilian star Kleberson in the history of Manchester United, the transfer price is 650 million pounds.

There are also some small transfers, French striker Berlyon and American goalkeeper Howard.

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

Of course Arsenal's transfer is even more so.Arsenal has only two transfers this summer, and if it is said, it will definitely make other strong teams laugh.Because their biggest switch was to buy Dortmund goalkeeper Lehmann for 350 million.

In addition to this transfer, there is another one that is to buy Clichy for 25.

How could this be a transfer from a wealthy club.Even the actions of the relegated Premier League teams in the summer are much better than Arsenal.

Liverpool's movements are also much smaller.

Liverpool also have only one move this summer.That is to spend 400 million pounds to buy right-back Finnan.

The actions of Arsenal and Liverpool are not as good as Tottenham, another strong team in London.Tottenham spent more than £1000 million on Zamora, Postiga and Kanoute this summer.Although not much, it is much bolder than Liverpool and Arsenal.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, their actions in the summer are very simple.Compared with Chelsea's excitement, they seem to have no action.

As for Blackburn, there has been no action yet.

Because George is waiting.

In other words, George was thinking about how to add it.Thirty-two million pounds, nine million pounds, that's £200 million in revenue.George didn't know how to respond.It is to buy some powerful generals to supplement the strength of the team.

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

£4000?
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 the bench lineup. Then before I want to buy players, you should take a look below."

"Next? You mean the youth team?"

Blanco nodded.

"Yes. Our youth team still has a lot of good seedlings. It shouldn't be a problem to play as a substitute."

George looked up at Carl.

Karl saw George's gaze and already understood what George meant.Karl usually not only focuses on the training of the team, but is also most familiar with the youth team.Carl nodded.Then he took out several documents and gave them to George.

George picked it up and saw that it was all the list of youth team players recommended by Karl to George.
