The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 619 Who dares to poach Chelsea?

In mid-July 2018, the British Isles fell into an unprecedented festive atmosphere.

It has been 52 years since England last won the World Cup.

In 52 years, for some football backward deserts - such as the United States, China, and India - this data is meaningless.

But for England, the birthplace of modern football, it is really shameful to be unable to win a major championship for half a century.

The British government even temporarily ordered that after the World Cup final (Sunday, July 15th), factories, companies, schools, banks, shops, hospitals... across the country can take a day off according to actual conditions to welcome this day of universal celebration.

.

The England national team also plans to spend a whole week holding a grand championship parade across the country!

Departing from London, first go to Brighton (Seagulls) in the south, then go north along the eastern coastline, passing through Norwich (Canary), Leicester (Blue Fox), Nottingham (Forest), and arrive in the north.

North Yorkshire (Members), Newcastle (Magpies), then turn around from the border, pass through Manchester and Liverpool in sequence, and go all the way south, passing West York (Leeds United), Stoke (Potters), Birmingham (Second

Ayutthaya, Birmingham and Villa), then detours to Southampton, Bournemouth, Portsmouth on the south coast, and finally returns to London.

Considering that players have precious rest time, the Football Association is also very humane and allows players not to participate in the whole process and can choose to only participate in the parade and celebration held in their hometown or club location.

This arrangement not only saves players time, but also prevents Henderson from getting an egg thrown at him when celebrating in Manchester, or Lingard from having his leg broken after dancing wildly in Liverpool...

According to this arrangement, Lee Polo only showed up at the London celebration on the first day, and then took his wife and children to a small island in the Mediterranean for vacation, officially ending his first World Cup trip and setting the stage for the past season.

It came to a successful conclusion.

The 2017-2018 season is undoubtedly the peak of his career for Lee Polo.

He transferred to Chelsea for a huge sum of 180 million, and then swept across England with this blue tank!

Not only did they successfully defend the Premier League title, they also won the League Cup, FA Cup, Community Shield, and the second Champions League trophy in team history!

Of course, it must be mentioned that it was also in this season that he won the first Golden Globe Award and the first World Footballer trophy in his career!

From August 2017 to the end of July 2018, for a full year, Lee Polo played 52 games for Chelsea Club, scoring 173 goals and 19 assists; played 15 games for the England national team, scoring 84

ball, plus 5 assists.

Taken together, in the past year, he played a total of 67 games, scored 257 goals, and had 24 assists!

Average 3.8 goals per game!

Of course, behind this horrific data, Lee Polo must thank his opponents such as China, South Korea, Panama, and Tunisia. Without the warmth they sent, his scoring efficiency would have dropped by at least 20%!

Due to the effect of the World Cup, this year's summer transfer market has become more lively.

For example, Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker switched from Roma to Liverpool for more than 70 million euros. This price directly made Alisson the most valuable goalkeeper in football history. Klopp is obviously going to be ruthless to solve the problem that troubles the ball.

The team has had goalkeeping issues for many years...

Midfielder Lucas Torreira, who reached the quarterfinals with Uruguay, joined Arsenal for more than 35 million, which is regarded as the Gunners' first important signing after Wenger retired.

Brazilian flying wing Douglas Costa left Bayern completely and was bought out by Juventus for 46 million.

French midfielder Lemar left Monaco for a transfer fee of 70 million and joined Atletico Madrid, which ended the transfer ban.

However, it is not only players who have performed well in the World Cup that can be sold at high prices. Many players who have not been selected for the main roster have also attracted the attention of the entire transfer market.

For example, Fred and Fabinho, the two major midfielders who were not selected for Brazil's main lineup, joined Manchester United and Liverpool at high prices of 59 million and 50 million euros.

Defender Lenglet, who was not selected for the French squad, moved to Barcelona for 36 million.

Along with Lenglet, there is also a little-known Brazilian forward, Malcom. He spent 41 million on the Dream Team and became Barcelona's top bidder this summer...

As for some players who had no chance to participate in the World Cup, their transfers were confirmed earlier.

For example, Dutch center back Van Dijk did not stay in Valencia in the end, but was forcibly poached by Liverpool for nearly 80 million, and the world line returned again.

After successively buying a defensive midfielder, defender and goalkeeper, Liverpool originally wanted to buy Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita for another 60 million, but Klopp looked at the Fenway Group's money bag and could only

Give up reluctantly.

——Save it for Boss Henry to exchange for the yacht!

Mahrez, who was also not eligible to participate, left the Blue Fox for 50 million and joined Guardiola's Manchester City.

Real Madrid has successively signed several little-known young players: full-back Odriozola for 35 million, forward Mariano for 30 million, goalkeeper Lu Ning for 8 million, and Vinicius for 40 million, which are for the future.

invest.

While enjoying family happiness on a small island in the Mediterranean, Lee Polo read transfer rumors every day and spent the most leisurely time since 2014.

In the past four summers, he has either been training hard or running around for transfer matters. It is true that he rarely has such a relaxing moment.

Chelsea, the hottest team this season, has been very quiet during this transfer window.

This is completely understandable. As the double champions of the Champions League and the Premier League, the players have received unprecedented satisfaction with their honor. The salary offered by Abramovich is also generous enough. Unless they want to get more playing opportunities, the average player is really unwilling to leave.

Throughout July, only the first team couldn't get the position they wanted, so defender Zouma could only be loaned out, and he finally decided to leave the team.

Due to the existence of the World Cup, it is obviously impossible to have any commercial competitions in the International Champions Cup this summer, and since the opening game of the new season - the Community Shield Cup has been determined to start on August 5, leaving Lee Polo with some rest time

It's only half a month.

The reporting time agreed by Conte for most players was July 26. For players such as Lipolo, Cahill, Hazard, and Courtois who participated in the final, it was postponed to the last day of July.

Lee Polo did not pretend to be arrogant and refuse the coach's humane care, but went to the Cobham training base on time to report.

"A warm welcome, our world champion!"

As soon as he entered the training ground, he received a wave of cheers.

The "Four Guardians" of the "Pineapple Hall" - Remy, Fabregas, William, and Louis immediately surrounded him, while Cahill, who stepped onto the turf almost at the same time, was completely ignored.

"Hahaha."

Hazard, who was standing next to Cahill, laughed and then noticed something:

"Gary, the atmosphere at the head coach's side... seems a little off?"

Cahill was an experienced vice-captain after all. He nodded slightly and glanced at the teammates around him to rule out the possibility of someone being injured.

Then he thought for a few seconds:

"Tebow...he didn't come to report?"

Azar was stunned for a moment.

He was very familiar with this name because half a month ago, they participated in the World Cup final together...

Thibaut Courtois, the best goalkeeper in the World Cup, has received a high-paying offer from Real Madrid.

After peaceful negotiations with the club failed, he flew directly to Madrid and expressed his attitude by refusing to participate in Chelsea's training camp!

Courtois is only 26 years old, and he only has the last year of his contract left. Chelsea, who are completely passive, are now facing a difficult situation!

After understanding the situation, Li Polo sent a message to Chelsea’s general manager Marina:

"Let this guy go!"

Marina quickly replied to him:

"We have launched Plan B to introduce Kepa from Athletic Bilbao, but we are very passive in terms of transfer fees."

The whole world knows that Chelsea wants to buy a goalkeeper. Of course Bibao wants to open his mouth!

Li Polo shrugged his shoulders:

"Then negotiate a deal with Real Madrid and ask them to give Navas to us."

Chelsea is willing to let go of the world's number one goalkeeper who is on the rise at a low price, and Real Madrid sends over for free a veteran they don't want to reuse. Is this reasonable?
