Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

"Haha, I know everyone is waiting for me to continue announcing the transfer news. So..."

At this point, David Dein paused for a moment to create a little suspense.

But the irrepressible smile on his face "betrayed" him. Obviously, there was big news.

Without continuing to whet everyone's appetite, David Dein announced cheerfully: "Fifty million euros, Beckham!"

When announcing the news, he didn't even bother to introduce it. He just mentioned an amount and a name.

But that's enough!

Perhaps in the eyes of professionals, Buffon and Nesta are more important than Beckham.

But in England, Beckham is undoubtedly the "darling" of fans and reporters!

Don't forget, this is a local star in England, so he is naturally higher than the "outsiders".

In the Premier League, it has long been everyone's consensus that local players of the same level are worth more than foreign players. After all, the British "household registration book" is valuable.

Foreign fans will naturally prefer local players.

Ordinarily, with Beckham's level and fame at the time, it was definitely not worth the sky-high price of 50 million euros.

But there was no way, he was the most "red" player in England in those years, bar none.

In addition, he transferred from Manchester United to Arsenal. The two clubs are "old enemies". How could Ferguson agree to let him go without giving him a hard "bite".

When David Dein originally inquired about the price, Ferguson immediately refused, saying that even if Beckham was sent to the reserve team, he would never sell it to Arsenal!

But when faced with the check with an astonishing amount written on it in the hand of David Dein, Ferguson's opinion is no longer so important. After all, he is not the owner of the club...

Therefore, in the end, Beckham was sold to Arsenal for a transfer fee of 50 million euros, which was considered a "rip-off price".

…………

David Dein has announced a total of three transfers so far.

Buffon, 58 million euros.

Nesta, 56 million euros.

Beckham, 50 million euros.

This adds up to 1.6 billion euros.

The three of them are all worthy of the new team introduced by Chelsea...

This is the worth of a superstar!

Under the huge shock, the reporters in the audience went blank.

Over the years, there has never been such a "generous" club in the Premier League!

In previous years, Manchester United occasionally made big moves, but other clubs were not so generous, so they have always been suppressed by Serie A.

Even La Liga, because of the two giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​seems to be better than the Premier League!

In recent years, Manchester United has only been able to take action in the Premier League.

But from now on, the Premier League will obviously turn around!

Chelsea and Arsenal, these two clubs are definitely going to rise.

Especially Arsenal, judging by their willingness to spend money on transfers, their sights must not only be limited to the domestic market, but also heading towards the Champions League!

…………

Everyone looked up at David Dein dumbly, as if they were still waiting for him to announce the next shocking transfer.

David Dein grinned, spread his hands and pretended to be helpless and said: "Hey, I have announced today's news. You don't think we want to buy any more stars? Arsenal's current team structure is already very complete, so we What needs to be done is just reinforcements, not a major replacement.”

The reporters in the audience burst into laughter.

Indeed, the situation at Arsenal and Chelsea is completely different.

Originally, in the season that just ended, Arsenal almost won the championship, but because the bench was not deep enough and the team struggled in the second half, they were overtaken by Manchester United.

But no one dares to deny that Arsenal was already a strong team.

Therefore, as David Dein said, Arsenal does not need to introduce too many players this summer. As long as they introduce a few superstars in a targeted manner to strengthen the relatively weak positions in the team, the team's strength will be strengthened. Go to the next level!

Perhaps there will be some transfers in the future for Arsenal, but they will no longer be superstars, but some substitute players in case the team has enough players to use when fighting on both fronts.

The Premier League schedule itself is very intensive. If the team plays domestic cup competitions and European competitions, it will be almost a third-line battle.

Therefore, a very deep bench strength is needed. At critical moments, the main players can be rotated and rested.

Otherwise, even tough players will not be able to withstand two or even three games a week. Such high-level competitions are very, very exhausting of physical energy.

This is why teams that win double or even triple crowns are rare.

That not only requires you to have a team of outstanding main players, but also good enough substitute players. It also requires the coaching staff to plan in advance so that the players can rotate on the field and maintain good competitive condition without exhausting their physical strength.

The difficulty can be described as hell level...

…………

After the press conference, the news spread all over the world in an instant.

Arsenal's transfer caused a bigger sensation than Chelsea's, because these three superstars have such great backgrounds!

Of course, the extremely high transfer fee is also the main reason for the sensation...

Many people in the football circle exclaimed "Wolf is coming"!

Looking at Chelsea and Arsenal's lavish spending, other club managers, owners and even fans all feel quite complicated.

It can be described as envy, jealousy and hatred!

At the same time, some so-called football legends jumped out to accuse Chelsea and Arsenal of starting a bad trend and giving the football world a "smell of copper".

If things go on like this, then it will be better than any other club is richer and more willing to spend money in the transfer market.

Those stars that small and medium-sized clubs have finally cultivated are bought by wealthy clubs with checks in the blink of an eye. Isn't it true that the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker...

Most people won't take such criticism seriously.

Because Chelsea and Arsenal were not the first to start this trend. If we really want to trace its roots, does the period of the Seven Sisters of Serie A count?

Does Real Madrid's superstar strategy count?

Now Chelsea and Arsenal are just richer than those wealthy clubs and more willing to spend money!

By now, many people have fully understood the value of the "oligarch" title of the new owner of Chelsea and Arsenal...

When the transfer window first opened, the two clubs held press conferences and announced a series of signings.

Other clubs are still in the process of negotiating, but the two of them have already finalized various transfers, each of which has spent more than 100 million pounds!

Looking at the various transfers worth tens of millions of euros between these two companies, many clubs have an illusion.

That is, when everyone sold stars in the past, the price was always low...
