The biggest fanatic in football

June 21st, summer solstice.

There is no feeling of heat in the midsummer in London. The highest temperature on this day was only 22 degrees.

At 10 a.m., Lee Polo arrived at the Arsenal Club's office building upon invitation.

Before he even walked through the door of the office building, the first reports were already out:

"I'm obsessed with guns! The Champions League mvp arrived at the arsenal today!"

"Is the statue at Emirates Stadium ready? The king of guns will be him from today on!"

"Ye Qingjie! Henry the Great has been relegated to second place in history!"

"Sanchez lined up to welcome him! Mustafi welcomes his old partner!"

…

"I hope it didn't disturb your vacation."

Wenger, who is nearly 70 years old, is standing there, smiling gently.

Li Polo also responded to him politely:

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Wenger."

After Ferguson retired, Wenger became the most senior and influential head coach in the entire Premier League, even though he is a Frenchman.

In this small living room, only two people from Arsenal came forward. In addition to Wenger, there was also their transfer director (chief negotiator) Dick Lowe.

As for Lee Polo, there are Barnett and his sons - Jonathan and Alan.

After shaking hands and greetings, representatives from both sides sat down seemingly casually on a set of circular sofas.

Jonathan was the first to speak:

"Arsene, Arsenal is the first club we visit."

Wenger smiled and nodded:

"I know that your player is the hottest commodity in the entire football world, and everyone is staring at him. Sorry, I used the word commodity."

Li Polo shrugged indifferently.

In the transfer market, players are of course commodities.

As an agent, Jonathan smiled proudly:

"I have always respected you, Arsene, so we will not deceive our friends. Judging from today's prices, it is difficult for Arsenal Club to afford a price that satisfies Valencia."

Wenger relaxed his posture slightly:

"You may have some misunderstandings. Although Arsenal has always been cautious, that is only because we do not have the need to spend money. If we need to compete with other teams, Arsenal will never be short of money."

This was said with such confidence that even Lee Polo almost believed it.

Even though they knew that Arsenal was strong on the outside but capable on the inside, everyone chose to laugh tacitly, and no one jumped out to expose it.

Next, Wenger talked with Lee Poirot about the team's development philosophy, and Allen talked with Dick Law about the players' contract benefits. The two sides ended this pleasant meeting.

When Lee Polo and Wenger shook hands at the door of the office building, the flash lights outside could already be connected into one!

"Wenger is all smiles! The negotiations between the two parties went smoothly!"

"Arsenal is expected to welcome the first superstar in team history!"

"Kroenke reluctantly smashed the piggy bank!"

"The pigs in the village can be slaughtered!"

“The end of White Hart Lane!”

-

When the car door closed, Allen couldn't help but complain:

"Arsenal obviously can't afford the money, so why do they want to get involved?"

Jonathan glanced at him and said softly:

"You are still young. If they want to maintain the dignity of a wealthy family, they cannot remain indifferent at this time."

The agent, who has been in football for decades, added:

"Wenger is also an old fox. He knows that the club cannot really spend money to bring in Polo, but he still wants to use this gesture to force the club to invest more money in the transfer market."

Li Polo nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

[If the boss doesn’t pay, then not only will we lose the top four this season, we won’t even be able to keep the top four!]

[Don’t blame me for not reminding you then!]

[Professor Wen is putting pressure on others and saving the country through curves!]

He asked again:

"Going to Chelsea now?"

Barnett shook his head:

"Go meet the people from Liverpool first."

-

Peter Moore, a local resident of Liverpool, just took over the position of CEO of Liverpool on June 1.

Before this job, his resume can be said to be quite rich:

He was once an ordinary British physical education teacher, and then changed his career to become a salesman for Patrick Company. After selling sneakers for 18 years, he switched jobs to Reebok, and then by chance entered Sega Company, and gradually became Sega Company.

The president of the U.S. branch later moved to Microsoft as vice president of the interactive entertainment department and overall director of the R&D and operations of the Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles. In 2007, he joined ea as chief operating officer and fully managed the sports game department easports.

At EA, he single-handedly transformed the FIFA series of games and launched a new UT mode, which gave this originally very simple football game the ability to ruthlessly harvest players' money, bringing billions to the company within a few years.

excess profits in U.S. dollars.

He is better at business operations than football competition.

Therefore, the discussions between him and the Barnetts were more about how to develop the commercial value of Lee Polo.

But unfortunately, half an hour later, another boss easily defeated him.

Ed Woodward, the "Sand Son" from Manchester.

This has nothing to do with Peter Moore's own ability. Whether it is the club's global influence, fan base, the team's performance in the past 10 years, the size of the city itself, or its development potential, Manchester United and Liverpool are not on the same level.

On the platform, Moore, who had just taken office, did not lose unfairly.

If other teams would still talk to Lee Polo about team tactics and football concepts, then the third Manchester United CEO who came here was full of beauty:

"Manchester United will make you the most profitable player in football."

"Your sponsorship contracts will come one after another, even if Ronaldo and Messi combined don't have as many as you!"

"Britain, Europe, the United States, and Asia, you will become a truly world-class superstar!"

"We are going to Asia this summer for a business competition. This is your first step to becoming famous in the world!"

-

"God, I'm going to faint from the smell of money on him!"

After sending San Dezi away, Jonathan shrugged slightly relaxedly.

It can be seen that he does not like this negotiating opponent.

But he turned to his employer players:

"What do you think of these two teams?"

Li Polo didn't think too much:

"Liverpool is still in the rebuilding period, and Klopp's coaching ability is very strong. In the next few seasons, they will be challengers for the Premier League championship and even the European championship."

"As for Manchester United... they will continue to be in chaos. Mourinho is also very strong, but he cannot control this team. The Glazer family..."

He shook his head and did not continue.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary fan, and his impression of Glazer only remained the abuse of some Manchester United fans.

Jonathan was a little surprised by his calmness and rationality, but he was quickly relieved.

After all, this is not the first time.

"Let's go to Stamford Bridge."

-

On the way to the fourth destination, Allen conveyed a message:

"Last time, the request you made... was to change the Japanese sponsor. Chelsea also responded. They understand your national sentiments, but they also hope that you can understand their contractual spirit. To compensate, they I am willing to further increase your salary."

Li Polo nodded slightly:

"I see."

Allen breathed a sigh of relief.

He has dealt with people from some East Asian countries, and there are indeed some extreme thinkers among them.

He was worried about his players and turned down a big deal for a seemingly insignificant sponsor.

Fortunately, this young player... is very calm.

Li Polo is indeed very calm.

He is just a player, and no matter how good he is, it is not enough to change a club's operating strategy.

After all... there is only one Mbappe.

-

"Nice to meet you, dear Polo!"

In the Chelsea office building, the graceful and beautiful general manager Marina Granovskaya reservedly stretched out her right hand:

"I've been looking forward to your arrival since morning."

——Since this manager’s name is too long, in order to avoid overwriting the number of characters, he will be referred to as “Sister Nuo” or Marina from now on.

She wasn't exaggerating, because that was Barnett's strategy.

In England, where paparazzi are everywhere, it is absolutely impossible to keep a secret about which club representatives a superstar like Lee Polo meets.

From the moment Lee Polo stepped into Arsenal's office building, the female manager received first-hand information.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United...

Having experienced too many transfer turmoils, she certainly knows that players also have the power to choose and raise prices.

But every time Lee Polo and his agent met with a club representative, "Sister Nuo" became more cautious.

After head coach Conte took the initiative and expelled Diego Costa, the hero of last season's championship, Chelsea is in urgent need of a strong forward.

The scouting director once wanted to intercept Humorata from Manchester United, but owner Abramovich disagreed.

[As the Premier League champion, why do you want to spend a high price of 70 to 80 million pounds to buy Real Madrid’s backup forward? 】

[Since you want to spend money to buy someone, why not add hundreds of millions of dollars and buy the most expensive one? 】

Although Chelsea's transfer strategy has gradually gotten rid of the inherent impression of "burning money" after winning the Champions League in 2012, Abramovich is still unambiguous when it comes to spending money.

"You are the most charming general manager I have ever seen in my playing days, dear Marina."

Lee Polo also sent the rainbow fart without any shame, not to mention what he said was true.

"Thanks."

Sister Nuo smiled lightly and then got straight to the point:

"As we all know, Chelsea needs a strong striker right now, so we have to get you. I don't like to waste time, so let's talk more directly:

You have a great say in the core of tactics, status in the dressing room, 100% image rights, and even... the choice of coach, as well as suggestions for recruitment work. Chelsea will only provide you with better treatment than other clubs can give you. many."

Li Polo just nodded. With two agents present, he did not need to express his position personally.

Revealing your attitude too early may put you at a disadvantage in negotiations.

The Barnetts and her went back and forth for nearly 20 minutes, one asking for a high price and the other paying back the money. Finally, Sister Nuo's cell phone vibrated.

She took a look, and her two curved eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

Jonathan noticed her look, smiled slightly, and prepared to get up from the sofa:

"Marina, I can see that you are a busy person. Transferring is a major decision. There is still a lot of time this summer. You can think carefully before giving me an answer. I also look forward to meeting you next time."

Sister Nuo stretched out her hand to stop his next move:

"Jonathan, my friend, I need you to wait a little longer."

Jonathan asked with some confusion:

"wait?"

Sister Nuo subconsciously glanced at the scenery outside the window:

"...He's coming."

There was a fleet of cars coming quickly.

Li Polo also looked over.

There were two pure black BMW 7 Series sedans in front and behind, and a total of 12 bodyguards wearing sunglasses and unsmiling black clothes stepped out.

In the middle is an ordinary-looking Mercedes-Benz.

When the car door opened, the man with gray hair, surrounded by 12 bodyguards, walked towards the office building.

Just 3 minutes later, the owner of Chelsea Club, Roman Abramovich, walked into the small living room.

Everyone stood up.

"I'm Roman."

He only used one sentence to introduce himself, then glanced at Allen next to him, but his eyes fell on Lee Polo:

"Young boy Allen, tell me you don't like the sponsor's name on our team jerseys?"

He turned his head slightly and looked at his secretary:

"Marina, then terminate the contract with them."

Then, he extended his right hand to Li Polo:

"On behalf of myself, I would like to extend an invitation to you, welcome to Chelsea."
