Twenty-eight million pounds, when Lin Yi's transfer price was made public by Porto and Chelsea at the same time, everyone might have been stunned.

This is definitely a blockbuster bomb in the summer transfer market. Chelsea used a lot of pounds to create this explosive news.

"The world has gone crazy, that Russian is destroying the transfer market!" This is the loud cry of the Times in the sports section.

This is indeed crazy. When Ferguson bought the ownership of Ronaldo for 17 million euros last year, people once said that the old Sir Alex was impulsive this time, but this time they can't say that Chelsea is impulsive, because no one will take nearly 35 million euros to experience impulse.

It took Chelsea only one month to break the record of the highest transfer in the summer. Drogba's 32 million euros is outdated.

The Ivorian elephant stayed on the throne of the highest transfer for less than a month, and was robbed of all the limelight by his future teammates.

This is Kenyon's second Chelsea spree in England after last year's big plunder, and he has become the target of journalists.

When Kenyon repeatedly tried to buy big-name stars but failed, many people were waiting to see this guy's joke, but now they are all shocked.

The one who dares to spend such a large sum of money on a child who is not even 17 years old is either a pure lunatic or a genius.

I don't know how others will comment on Kenyon's crazy move this time, but the Russian tycoon is obviously very satisfied with the reaction of the league opponent.

Lin Yi signed a contract with Chelsea for four years, with an initial annual salary of 2.5 million euros, which will increase by 500,000 every year, and the championship bonus will be calculated separately.

In fact, Kenyon had prepared a six-year contract to tie this kid down, but Mendes did not agree, and he was even prepared to sign only three years.

For Mendes, he knew Lin Yi's value very well, and his contract had too much room for improvement, so he didn't need to limit him with a long contract.

He believed that Lin Yi was not the kind of meteor that would become popular overnight and then quickly fade away. It was very stupid to tie him to one place so early.

If there is a good thing, it is not afraid that no one will recognize it. Now Mendes signed this contract with this mentality, and Lin Yi also expressed no doubt about it.

Lin Yi believed in Mendes' judgment and had confidence in his ability. This was his first big contract in England, but it was definitely not the last one.

This salary was not considered high in the Premier League, and Mendes knew this, but he did not care about it. Because he got what he wanted most, about Lin Yi's personal image rights, which was more valuable to him than those visible salaries.

As long as there was a performance on the field as a support, he believed that the benefits brought to Lin Yi by this image right would definitely make Peter Kenyon regret it.

Because within a month when Lin Yi lifted the Champions League, Mendes had signed three commercial contracts for him, each of which was higher than his annual salary.

"If players in the 21st century still have to rely on their game salaries to make a living, then after retirement, the only way waiting for them is bankruptcy. This is a society full of business opportunities. We must learn to develop everyone's greatest value, rather than relying on the salary earned from playing football for a lifetime."

Mendes chose Chelsea not because of how high the salary was, but because he believed that Lin Yi and Mourinho's partnership would win more championships and attention.

The Premier League is a platform that attracts people's attention, which is why Mendes chose it as Lin Yi's next stop.

The world of football is so realistic. As long as there is a higher level of attention, this person has infinite value, and this is what businesses look at.

Otherwise, no one can explain why Beckham is not a World Cup champion, but his income is several times or even dozens of times that of Zidane.

That guy may be one of the few football players in this football circle who can be on the list of sports figures. This is the magic of attention.

Football is a way to become famous, and the remaining opportunities to make money depend on everyone's luck and opportunities. Mendes trusts his vision very much.

Therefore, Kenyon's idea of ​​signing a long-term contract was rejected by Mendes. He believed that Lin Yi's value would explode exponentially.

"The world's most valuable player, the most commercially valuable player in the world, this is the goal I set for that kid." Mendes said.

Now everyone feels the Russians' desire for the league championship, and his move is undoubtedly a challenge to the traditional giants.

"Chelsea just wants to make the Premier League more interesting. After all, no one wants to watch Manchester United and Arsenal take turns to lift the trophy every year."

When Kenyon was interviewed by reporters, his words were quite straightforward. He was telling the other championship rivals that Chelsea was eager for the championship.

In the summer, he spent nearly 100 million euros again. This is Kenyon's fatal threat to Manchester United and Arsenal. The championship is determined by Chelsea!

But now Ferguson has no time to trouble Kenyon, because this old man who is almost crazy knows who to find to settle the account.

When it was learned that Lin Yi would sign with Chelsea, the most unlucky person was not the fans of Porto, but Mendes, who planned all these transactions.

Because this guy's phone was almost blown up by the rampaging Ferguson. The old Scottish man now wanted to kill Mendes. If Mendes appeared at Old Trafford at this time, Ferguson dared to bet that he would bury that guy under the grass of the stadium.

Compared with Ferguson's irritability, Wenger just expressed his regret politely. The Frenchman was really sorry for missing Lin Yi.

The main reason was that Ferguson and Wenger knew very well that Lin Yi's joining Chelsea could indeed bring a change to Stamford Bridge.

The opponent's strength has been enhanced, which is the fact they least want to see. It seems that the Premier League next season will be a cruel battle between dragons and tigers.

Not only will the struggle between Arsenal and Manchester United continue, but the sudden rise of Chelsea has seriously affected the dominance of the two powers.

"When I saw the news that the boy joined Chelsea, I felt as if a rib had been pulled out. Those damn Londoners robbed Manchester United of its future!" This is what Ferguson said to his old friend in private. It can be heard that the old guy is really sad.

But sadness can only make Ferguson more angry, but he can't change this fact. The gap of 8 million pounds is indeed beyond his imagination.

But he can't blame Mendes for anything. After all, Lin Yi is his client, and the biggest role of the agent is to help the players get the most benefits.

This time Chelsea used money to get everything, at least Ferguson thought so. After all, he was not crazy enough to spend 28 million pounds on Lin Yi, but the old Scottish man would soon give up such an idea, because there was more news about Chelsea.

The CEO of Chelsea will not pay attention to the outside world's opinions. Anyway, he has got the result he wanted, so let others say whatever they want.

And less than two days after he released the news of Lin Yi's transfer to Chelsea, he attracted everyone's attention to Stamford Bridge again, because Chelsea had officially announced that Mourinho had decided to coach at Stamford Bridge, and the contract between the two parties was just signed 24 hours ago.

The annual salary of 5 million pounds, not only the news of Mourinho's joining shocked many people, but also the annual salary offered by Chelsea made everyone stunned.

You know, Ferguson, the old Sir Alex who once brought countless honors to Manchester United, now has an annual salary of less than 3 million pounds. How can this be compared?

A guy who has just entered the professional head coach circle for less than three years, has become so valuable after winning the League Cup and the Champions League!

And this guy can also bring his own coaching team from Porto, including Brito, Faria, and goalkeeper coach Loro.

Chelsea will pay a lot of money for Mourinho's coaching team, but Kenyon seems to be indifferent to it and does not even bargain.

In addition to Lin Yi, who has already confirmed his transfer, and Carvalho and Ferreira, who are still in negotiation according to gossip, Mourinho has almost moved in a whole team.

"A big gamble by the Russians!" This is the title added by BBC TV when reporting this news, and it also represents the views of many people.

Anyway, many Manchester United fans are not optimistic about the guy who eliminated them from the Champions League quarterfinals, and they all hope that Mourinho will fall.

"I really don't know what magical ability the guy who has only won the Champions League once has to dare to say that he is more valuable than our old Sir Alex."

This kind of doubtful voice is not only from the fans, but also from the mouths of many media people. Five million pounds, this is really crazy.

"This is an era where the value of trophies is magnified. Who can imagine that a Champions League can bring a young coach an income of five million?"

Mourinho's high salary has attracted a lot of criticism, but Chelsea people don't think so, because they just have money and are willing to invest so much.

"We must give a coach who can win the UEFA Cup and the Champions League consecutively a contract that matches his status. This is Chelsea's recognition of his value."

Kenyon is not afraid of the stronger explosion effect of this news. He even publicly pointed out that if Chelsea can win the league championship or the Champions League trophy, Mourinho can get an additional bonus of 2 million pounds, and the players are the same. Chelsea is willing to pay this money.

This guy is clearly going to compete with Manchester United for the dominance of the Premier League. This open confrontation will start this summer and will continue.

A four-year contract is the contract Chelsea offers Mourinho, but Mourinho himself knows that he actually only has one season.

The pressure of championship will accompany him throughout the season until the end. Either he will become the ruler of the Premier League, or he will become the next Ranieri.

However, this feeling did not make Mourinho feel uneasy. Instead, it made this guy feel excited. He is very happy to accept such a challenge.

Last season, the two real fights with Ferguson made his blood boil. It seems that he will have more such experiences this season.

Ferguson, Wenger, Houllier, these famous guys in the Premier League, are all waiting to compete with me. Just thinking about it makes people excited.

"A belligerent fighting dog, this kind of crisis-ridden environment is what he likes most." This is Mendes' evaluation of Mourinho. Of course, the kid taught by Mourinho is more belligerent than his mentor. This is a pair of standard lunatics.

In fact, many La Liga teams have contacted Mendes, but the feeling of being a ruler in Chelsea will make Mourinho feel comfortable.

Everything here will be built by him, starting from bit by bit. Chelsea will belong to his team from now on, and he will be the decision maker.

The most important thing is that those opponents will make him full of fighting spirit. If there is a chance to overturn those people, Mourinho will spare no effort.

However, what others see is not Mourinho's desire to fight with his opponents. They are more focused on the high annual salary that Chelsea pays Mourinho. For some traditional forces, Chelsea's approach is to wantonly destroy the salary structure of the Premier League.

Now many teams' main cores are a little bit tempted, and many people also take this opportunity to threaten the team to give themselves a substantial salary increase.

Otherwise, the agents of those players would occasionally combine their agent's name with Chelsea in newspapers and media.

There are quite a few people who do this, and Kenyon is happy to see this situation. When more and more people want to use Chelsea's name, he did not choose to oppose, but always maintained an ambiguous attitude in front of the media, as if every business was planned by him.

This makes the nerves of those reporters always in an excited state. Now Kenyon has successfully become the focus of the entire English media.

Even when this guy goes to a restaurant for a meal, there will be reporters following him, because no one knows whether he is going to meet with the agent of some player.

There is no need to be low-key and pretend to be a good person. This is the decision made by the Russians after acquiring Chelsea. There is no need to talk about those hypocritical etiquette with competitors.

Now Chelsea has become the enemy of the entire Premier League management. The teams they stir up are not at peace. Many team owners have to spend a lot of money to adjust the salary structure of their clubs, which makes many small clubs feel the pressure of survival.

But in order to maintain the internal stability of their team, they have to pay this money, otherwise the players and fans will point the finger at the club.

"That damn Kenyon messed up everything. He destroyed the business model of our small and medium-sized clubs. He should be responsible for all this!"

This dissatisfied roar was not made by one person, but many team CEOs and owners have made dissatisfied accusations against Kenyon.

But Kenyon no longer cares whether he is a hated character or not. Let everyone start to fear Chelsea. This is what he wants to do.

Mourinho signed with Chelsea. This combination was described by AS as a combination of two nouveau riche, without any foundation and without any stability.

Can a young coach with only three years of coaching experience manage such a money team? Is he really qualified to get such a high salary?

These issues have been constantly discussed in newspapers and on TV. Chelsea has been very successful in becoming the protagonist of the transfer market this time.

Anyway, many media have such an attitude towards Chelsea's big move this time. They don't think such a crazy transfer can bring a championship.

"The army is always changing, and I don't know where the courage comes from for such a team that has no stability to speak of, to say that it can win the championship!"

Ferguson was the first to fire at Chelsea. This was not only because he was angry that Lin Yi was taken away by the opponent, but also because Mourinho was the coach this time. The bad feeling of losing to the opponent twice last season made the old Sir Alex intend to start a media war of words from the beginning.

Even if the league has not started yet, he does not want his opponent to have a peaceful life. If he can mess up the opponent's psychology, it is his biggest goal.

Especially, Chelsea is not only buying people now, but they are also dealing with those who can't play as the main force, and the team is in turmoil.

Glenchar was the first to be cleared out of the team. Although this guy was very resistant, the annual salary paid by Chelsea was indeed not low, and he could also participate in the Champions League in Porto. This is not a bad choice for Glenchar, not to mention that he can still play as the main force.

If he stays at Chelsea, he will have to sit on the bench for another depressing season, which is a fact he cannot accept.

There are many people like him. Many of the players selected by Ranieri are not what Mourinho needs, and a big purge is inevitable.

Kenyon's busy work is far from over. He has just ignited the transfer market. England will be very lively this summer.

After signing, Mourinho began to open his transfer list. He didn't want many people, but each of them was worth more than 10 million euros.

However, Abramovich only told Kenyon one sentence, "Do your best to meet Jose's needs. I just need to see the final result."

With this imperial decree, Kenyon only had one thing to do, that is, to wave his checkbook again at Mendes and wait for the knife.

The pounds that have been spent in large quantities are now quickly building a complete outline for Mourinho's Chelsea team. . .

The bloody storm in the Premier League is about to begin. . .

(The Lakers have been really restless recently... all kinds of gossip, all kinds of bloody headlines, alas...)
