Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"This big-eared trophy is so fucking beautiful!"

At the award ceremony that night, Ibrahimovic stared at the Champions League trophy while receiving his medal.

The sudden expletive made other Chelsea players and award presenters laugh out loud.

However, everyone at the scene could understand Ibrahimovic's excitement at this time.

Besides, except for Leon and Kroos, the other players in the Chelsea team have never tried to win the Champions League trophy.

Are they not in agitated moods at this moment and unable to control themselves?

What Infantino and Platini said on the podium could not be heard clearly by the Chelsea players. At this moment, they only had the desire for the championship trophy in their eyes.

Finally, after completing all the pre-award ceremony, Terry was surrounded by other Chelsea players, stood in the center of the team and raised high the St. Bradford Cup that had frustrated Chelsea several times!

Colorful ribbons all over the sky spurted out from around them, and then fell down one after another.

And this time, Li Ang saw clearly the tears falling from the corners of the eyes of the old captain Terry when he kissed the Champions League trophy affectionately!

Not just him, Lampard, Drogba, Cech, Torres...

Almost all Chelsea veterans had tears in their eyes at this moment!

They burned out the afterglow of their careers, and in the final and most brilliant light, they finally ushered in their happy ending.

Li Ang was not in the center of the team at this time, but stood aside, smiling and contentedly watching his teammates celebrate excitedly.

After celebrating in the stands, Chelsea's generals did not let go of their coaches.

Holland, Ruiz and finally Mourinho.

When the Chelsea team carried Mourinho and threw him into the air again and again, the countless fans who were still watching the live broadcast couldn't help but sigh.

When Mourinho entered Chelsea for the second time, many people asserted that he would lead Chelsea to start another Premier League dynasty.

But at the time, absolutely no one could believe that in just two seasons, Mourinho led Chelsea to complete the great feat of winning two consecutive Premier League titles and winning the Champions League for the first time!

Four Premier League titles and one Champions League title!

Throughout the Premier League era, Mourinho's achievements are second only to Ferguson.

He also successfully brought Chelsea into the palace of European giants tonight!

Abu has already received congratulations from too many people in the box in person or on the phone.

His brain was still a little dizzy, and a huge sense of joy and satisfaction filled his heart.

However, in his excitement, he still did not forget to remind his assistants to call several senior leaders of the club at this time and ask them to seize the time to negotiate contract renewal with the important players in the team and Mourinho!

In recent seasons, Chelsea have been very generous in the transfer market, but the price/performance ratio is also very high.

Apart from the signings of several veteran players, the value of each of the young players in the Chelsea team has skyrocketed!

At this time, we must pay attention to the contract renewal work.

Not to mention young players such as Li Ang, Cross and Hazard who have already become the main force of the team.

Even young substitutes from teams like Maguire, Karas and Ake would feel pain if they let go of Abramovich for nothing.

After being patiently trained and taught by Chelsea's coaching staff, these young players have grown at an astonishing rate that is visible to the naked eye.

They are all talented young players. Even if some of them cannot play the main role in the current Chelsea, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the future of Chelsea.

Whether they will continue to play at Chelsea next season is a question that must be evaluated and dealt with by Mourinho and his coaching team.

But their contract renewal must be arranged first, and they can be rented out to practice. If they become famous in the future, they can return to Chelsea!

Abramovich has already begun to think about the future of the team.

And he has never been stingy with material rewards for the current meritorious officials.

At the celebration banquet that night, Abramovich showed up and directly handed out generous Champions League winning bonuses on the spot!

Club executives have already distributed bonuses for winning the previous league and two English domestic cups in advance.

Chelsea never defaults on giving money. As long as they can win the championship, the reward will be generous enough!

The atmosphere of the celebration dinner reached its climax at this moment.

Personal honor and material needs were met at the same time. The double happiness made every Chelsea player present have a great impression of the club again!

It was very rare for Ibrahimovic to get drunk.

He was so happy that he even fell asleep in the hotel holding the Champions League trophy that night.

After waking up the next day, feeling the texture of the Saint-Bride Cup in his arms, Ibrahimovic lay in bed having fun for a while.

But while he was happy, Ibrahimovic finally made the next decision about his career.

The afternoon after winning the Champions League, Ibrahimovic told Leon and Mourinho about his future decision in person at the celebration hotel.

"If I were 5 years younger, I would definitely want to continue working with you. I like Chelsea, I like the feeling of working with you, and I also like the current group of young people...

But I am no longer young. I have been very happy in the past two years, but my body is very honest. It has been telling me: I need to stop and take a rest.

I haven't decided yet which league I will play in next season, but what I am sure of is that the possibility of staying in the Premier League is very small, so..."

Mourinho seemed to have expected this day to come. He showed a warm smile on his face, patted Ibrahimovic on the arm, and comforted him:

"I understand, Zlatan, you have reached the age to enjoy football. Just follow the guidance in your heart and make decisions. I will inform the club and cooperate with your subsequent transfer matters."

Li Ang didn't say anything. He just stood up and opened his arms generously towards Ibrahimovic.

"Thank you, little lion, for that phone call."

"The fact that you are here has already explained everything. There is no need to say thank you between us, Zlatan. I will always miss the time of playing with you. Enjoy football. No matter where you are, you will always be unique." of…"

The two hugged each other tightly, which was considered a formal farewell for the two brothers.

Afterwards, Ibrahimovic also found every teammate who was still in the hotel and said goodbye to them in person.

That night, Ibrahimovic invited all his teammates and coaches to dinner.

Li Ang specially took a photo of the three Milan brothers at the dinner, and then made a social media update.

At this time, Chelsea fans had no idea that Ibrahimovic had decided to leave Chelsea.

They all left messages on Li Ang's social media, praising the good relationship between the three brothers and asking them to continue working hard next season.

Chelsea fans who had just experienced winning the Champions League were still immersed in endless joy.

But the wave of departures within Chelsea began to surge shortly after the successful season.

Ibrahimovic first revealed his intention to leave the team, followed by Drogba and Ashley Cole who also revealed their desire to leave the team to Mourinho and the club's senior management.

Drogba originally only signed a one-year loan contract with the club. After realizing his dream of the Champions League this season, he has no regrets.

Galatasaray will basically not renew his contract, so he and a few old brothers discussed going to the MLS to get the last contract together and prepare to "retire".

Ashley Cole's plan is the same as Drogba's, only Lampard is still hesitant.

Although Shen Deng will be 37 years old soon, he feels that his playing condition is still good.

He will definitely not be able to play as the main force at Chelsea, but if he goes to the other mid- to lower-tier teams in the four major leagues, he should be able to play for one or two more seasons.

Therefore, he may also ask the economic team to contact the other four major league teams, and it does not necessarily mean that he will go to the Major League to retire.

Mikel and Ramirez received invitations from the Chinese team one after another.

Originally, they planned to refuse directly at first, but after seeing the huge contract amount, they took the initiative to find Li Ang to learn about the team that had extended the invitation to them.

At this time, almost six Chelsea first-team players have expressed their attitude and want to leave the team this summer.

Ivan, who has been completely pushed to the bench by Azpilicueta, seems to be thinking of leaving the team.

With so many first-team players likely to leave this summer, Chelsea's management dare not ignore this situation.

Fortunately, Mourinho had already made enough mental preparations, and he didn't feel there was anything to panic.

Their coaching team basically has a good idea of ​​the new signing targets. When the time comes, the management will take action in advance and complete the negotiations early, so that preparation training for the new season can be started smoothly.

Generally speaking, there will be no major changes to the main structure of Chelsea's first team.

The biggest change is the first team's substitute rotation.

There are many veterans leaving. Among the young players, except for Lukaku who has the main appeal, the rest will basically choose to renew their contracts and stay with the team.

So judging from the current situation, Chelsea's front office team will not encounter any big problems in their summer recruitment work.

However, Ibrahimovic's departure still has a great impact on the construction of Chelsea's offensive system in the new season.

The recruitment of substitute players in other positions can be done step by step, but Mourinho is very urgent in recruiting the starting center position.

The first choice is of course Suarez, who was unhappy with Liverpool last season.

With Li Ang's bridging contact, after the end of the season, Chelsea Club successfully started negotiations with Suarez's agency team and Liverpool Club at the same time.

Suarez's agent is easy to talk to. As soon as Chelsea approached him, he very enthusiastically expressed that he would definitely bring Suarez to Chelsea.

But on Liverpool's side, Chelsea received a big rejection first.

Liverpool's attitude is very tough and they continue to show that Suarez is not for sale.

Mourinho has no doubts about Liverpool's rhetoric.

After all, what the entire Liverpool team can do now is these brothers on the front line, and Suarez single-handedly supported Liverpool's offensive system last season.

Liverpool's head coach for the new season has not yet been decided. If Suarez leaves, the team's performance will collapse and the losses will be even greater.

Besides, Liverpool is not a small club short of money. The big boss behind them is very rich, but being rich and being willing to invest heavily are two different things.

Liverpool may think they can continue to persuade Suarez to sign a new contract.

Mourinho saw that his club's negotiation team kept getting rejected, so he was not in a hurry.

While he signaled Li Ang to continue to keep in touch with Suarez, he sent a scouting team to Chile to observe Suarez's performance in this year's America's Cup.

As a result, Suarez was injured and left the field in the first round of the Copa America group stage due to a reckless foul by his opponent.

Although it was just a sprain and he would be fine after two or three weeks of rest, Suarez was still very frustrated that he could not continue to represent the national team in this year's America's Cup.

At this time, Li Ang immediately called him to express his condolences.

During the phone call, Li Ang did not discuss any transfer matters, but was only concerned about Suarez's physical condition, and also comforted him and asked him to relax.

Anyway, the America's Cup will be held enough times in the next few years, and he will have many opportunities to play in national events...

As soon as Li Ang finished comforting Suarez, the management of Liverpool called and tried to persuade Suarez to renew his contract with Liverpool.

Boy, the contrast is so stark.

Suarez originally had a hard time playing in Liverpool last season. Now that Liverpool's senior management is trying to persuade him to renew his contract, his inner resistance is getting stronger and stronger.

In addition, Gerrard has left Liverpool in this summer window and joined MLS.

Suarez doesn't even want to stay in Liverpool and waste his career.

Within two days, the news that Suarez's contract renewal negotiations with Liverpool had broken down was suddenly revealed by major European sports newspapers.

This is not a trick done by Chelsea, but Suarez's economic team revealed the news to the media.

For a while, Liverpool's top management was in disarray. While refuting the rumors, they tried to re-open contract renewal negotiations with Suarez.

But Suarez has now received Mourinho's promise to give him the main center position next season, so he naturally once again expressed his decision to leave the team resolutely.

Seeing that Suarez is determined to leave, it is impossible for Liverpool to make the decision to keep him for one year and then lose both manpower and wealth.

At this time Chelsea sent an extremely sincere first offer.

Barcelona heard the news that Suarez was leaving the team. Naturally, they were short of a center and rushed over to step in.

But after Chelsea made its second offer, Barcelona's top brass fell silent.

After Liverpool saw the amount of Chelsea's offer, they were shocked!

On July 6, just two days after the end of the Copa America in Chile, Chelsea and Liverpool announced at the same time that they had reached an agreement on the transfer of Suarez!

A few days ago, Chelsea fans were a little worried and uneasy because the team announced the departure of six players one after another.

I am afraid that the club will suddenly take some frugal transfer path and ruin the great situation created in the past two seasons.

But as soon as Suarez's signing was announced, they immediately felt relieved.

Neither Chelsea nor Liverpool disclosed the specific transfer amount, but Sky Sports still got "exclusive news."

"The estimated one-time transfer fee is 88-92 million euros, and with floating clauses, it can reach up to 110 million euros..."

As soon as this news came out, the European transfer market once again experienced a big earthquake!

The summer transfer window belonging to Chelsea has come once again with a familiar...
