Chapter 376 The transfer wave on the last day
These days, Manchester United has been in a state of dying life, and even Ferguson, who has been in the football world for decades, is a little sick.
Quaresma's suspension is too heavy!
The appeal was rejected, which undoubtedly made it worse for Manchester United.
This winter, Quaresma joined the title of Manchester United's savior, trying to save the league's decline and was eliminated from the Premier League.
For this purpose, Manchester United paid a transfer fee of 35 million euros.
Unexpectedly, just two weeks later, a fine from the FA shattered all Manchester United's hopes. For eight months of suspension, Ferguson seemed to have returned to the moment he was worried about Cantona Laurie.
But he is now 65 years old and no longer like he did ten years ago. It can be seen from the photos published in the media that he seems to have grown a lot a little older.
"Oh, it's time to retire..." Ferguson thought powerlessly, what should I do if Quaresma is suspended? I can't continue to spend money on the transfer market, right? The stingy American will definitely not agree.
Compared to Manchester United's financial difficulties, Chelsea seems to be much richer.
Irving is suspended? Ribery is seriously injured?
It doesn't matter!
If we have money, we can buy someone to replace it!
On January 31, 2005, this was the last day when the winter transfer window was closed, and a blue whirlwind broke out in the European transfer market.
At two o'clock in the morning of London time, Chelsea officially released the first article "The Distant Winter, This is Warmth from Russia".
The content is simple and the meaning is clear. The Russian national team and the core player of Zenit, St. Petersburg, Russian footballer Andre Arshavin is heading to Stamford Bridge!
According to the exclusive disclosure of Football One Points, Russian "tsar" Al Shawen was extremely surprised and excited to join Chelsea. He was happy to be able to play football under Joe Dapao, and for him, this was the most exciting moment of his life.
The Times made a big deal on the transfer fee, saying that in order to get the No. 10 player from Zenit in St. Petersburg, Chelsea paid a transfer fee of 10 million euros to the Russian club. The two sides signed a contract for four years and their weekly salary increased significantly, reaching 70,000 pounds.
The Daily Mail wrote an article claiming that Arshavin's departure caused huge damage to Zenit's fans. Early this morning, countless fans gathered at the door of Zenit's club to protest, expressing strong anger at the club's hastily sold their favorite stars...
Just as the Englishmen were trying to analyze where Arshavin would play at Chelsea and what role he played, Chelsea official released another new news.
Ukrainian footballer, Donetsk Miners' main midfielder Anatoly Tymoshchuk joins Chelsea!
According to insiders, in order to join Chelsea, Tymoshchuk did not hesitate to stop training and threaten the game. In the end, Donetsk Miners Club had to accept Chelsea's transfer application and transfer to Chelsea for 12 million euros.
First, a Russian footballer came, and then another Ukrainian footballer came. Oh my God, Chelsea is crazy!
When these two transfers were announced, in England, except for the Blues fans, all the fans' eyes were red, envy, jealousy and hatred, and all of them surged in their hearts for a moment.
His grandmother's ruble is really useful!
Especially if Qiao Dapao waved Abu's ruble tickets and players he couldn't buy? This is simply unfair to other clubs!
After a storm, Irving was suspended and Ribery was seriously injured. Two more footballers came. How could they play this ball?
Of course, the Blues fans were immersed in endless joy and happiness. Although they didn’t know much about Arshavin and Tymoshchuk, at least they were also footballers from their respective countries, so their strength should not be underestimated!
You know, when Joe Dapao bought a group of players such as Ramos, Ribery, Cech, Torres, etc., he was definitely unknown, but he showed such top-notch strength. These two footballers... weren't that a replica of Maradona and Mattus!
However, the happiness of Blues fans is far from over, and the nightmare of fans of other teams is just the beginning.
In an interview, Chelsea's transfer director Jorisno said bluntly: "On the last day before the transfer window is closed, we will bring three players to the fans. Everyone has seen the first two, namely Arshavin from Russia and Timoshchuk from Ukraine. The third player... It is not convenient to disclose it now, but what I can tell you is that he is from La Liga."
Jorisno's words are like a deep water bomb exploding in the English Channel. The waves invade the British continent with great power, bringing great pressure to the people on this land.
The first one is the Russian footballer, the second one is the Ukrainian footballer... Could it be that the third one is the Spanish footballer?
Even Wenger, Ferguson, and Benitez, after hearing this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "No!"
Although Spain does not select a football player, this does not mean that Spain does not have the best player!
La Liga is not as low as the Russian and Ukrainian leagues. The best player here... he must be the world's top star!
Etoo in 2005, Diego Fran in 2004, Ronaldo in 2003, Makai in 2002, Raul in 2001... Which one is not famous!
Although Jorisno did not explicitly say who the player from La Liga was, everyone has basically confirmed that Chelsea's third signing will be Uruguayan striker Diego Fran!
People's analysis is not unreasonable. Now Chelsea's forward Irving is facing a long-term ban, which is the time to lack a striker.
Moreover, with Raul and Ronaldo's status in Real Madrid, it is impossible to transfer. Etoo is Rijkaard's favorite player, and Makai has already gone to Bayern Munich... In this way, there is only one Diego Fran left.
Everything seems so accurate.
The Sun, Daily Mirror, Morning Post and other newspapers have written articles and have published articles to recognize this view, believing that Diego Fran has entered the countdown to join Chelsea.
When Ferguson saw this report, he sat upright in shock.
Fran…Is he going to return to the Premier League?
Back then, it was Ferguson who brought Diego Fran from South America to the European arena and joined the Red Devils Manchester United. However, at Manchester United, Fran was suppressed by Van Nistrui and performed extremely poorly. He played 62 times and scored only 10 goals, and was eventually sold to Villarreal.
Unexpectedly, Diego Fran, who came to the yellow submarine, exploded in full swing, showed his super strong ball skills, forced breakthroughs, left and right shooting, heavy guns and other unique skills that stun La Liga, attracted the attention of many teams.
Only then did Ferguson realize how big a mistake it was to let Fran go.
If Diego Fran really returns to the Premier League and explodes against Manchester United, where will Sir Ferguson put his old face?
Ferguson was nervous and frightened!
Of course, it is not yet decided whether it is Diego Fran. At least on the online forum, everyone is still arguing about it.
"Past experience proves that Diego is not suitable for the Premier League, so I concluded that the person Qiao Dapao bought must not be Diego!"
"Diego? Nonsense! Maradona has been retired for many years, can she still make a comeback?"
"Since ancient times, many brainless people on the second floor!"
"Please, don't you read the news? They are talking about Diego Fran, not Diego Maradona."
"I also think it's not Fran. This guy is too ugly. I think with Qiao Dapao's handsome guy... it should be Raul, the Lord of the Rings."
"Raul? I like..."
"Haha, if it were Raul, I would like to let my girlfriend have a sleep with Qiao Dapao!"
"It's so beautiful!"
"It's so beautiful!"
"It's so beautiful!"
...
On this day, countless fans were waiting in front of the computer, constantly refreshing Chelsea's official website, waiting for the arrival of the mysterious La Liga player;
On this day, countless reporters were waiting outside Stamford Bridge, hoping to seize every opportunity to find out who the third signing was in advance;
On this day, Ferguson was dying and asked his assistant every five minutes whether Chelsea's new player was Diego Fran...
Chapter completed!
