Chapter 420 The Arrival of the Nuclear Warhead
Newcastle has indeed brought surprises to European football!
On the afternoon of January 1st, the three clubs of Newcastle, AC Milan and Chelsea simultaneously announced a three-party transfer that could shock the world——
"The club decided to terminate the loan contract with Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko, we thank him for his contribution to the team before that..."
"Newcastle player Nicolas Gigi joined the club on loan. The loan contract has been maintained until the end of the season. The loan fee is 100 million euros. The club pays Gigi 100% of his weekly salary..."
This is the announcement on the official website of the AC Milan club.
"Russian international Yuri Zhirkov joined the club. The price we paid for this was 1300 million pounds and the ownership of Ukrainian striker Andrei Shevchenko. The club firmly believes that Zhirkov is the kind of person who can bring changes to the team. We also thank Shevchenko for his contributions to the team in the past two years and wish him better development in the new environment!"
This is the announcement from Chelsea Club's official website.
"Today, we will usher in a great striker who will revolutionize the team - Andrei Shevchenko, the greatest striker in the history of Ukrainian football, joins Newcastle!!!"
This is the official website announcement of Newcastle Club.
……
Shevchenko is about to join Newcastle! ! !
As soon as this news came out, it really shocked the whole of Europe!
Judging from the entire process of this transfer, it is obvious that Newcastle has dominated from beginning to end!
To be able to complete a complex transaction involving three giants in such a short period of time, people have to once again lament the efficiency of Madman Li!
It's just that before that, almost no one could have imagined that Madman Li's first signing target this winter was actually Ukrainian striker Shevchenko.
If it were two years ago, such a transfer would have become the envy of everyone in the big clubs. At that time, Shevchenko still possessed the peerless lethality of a nuclear warhead, and he was omnipotent in attacking cities wherever he went...
At that time, there wasn't a club on earth that didn't want to have a striker like him!
But, now, times have passed!
The two years at Stamford Bridge proved to be a failed journey, and after returning to his old club AC Milan, he also maintained the downward arc of gravity acceleration... Obviously, in just 720 days, the Ukrainian nuclear warhead that everyone chased in the past has become a nuclear waste with infinite regret...
"...With Owen, Ronaldo, and Crespo already in place, Crazy Lee actually brought in Shevchenko. Two or three years ago, this kind of risk allocation can definitely be called the world's number one, absolutely fantastic lineup... But now, I have to doubt Crazy Lee's recruitment strategy. Does he want Newcastle to become another nursing home in European football?"
The chief football commentator of BBC TV and the steadfast [Li Hei] Mike Donald spoke with sarcasm in a TV talk show: "The experience of the Ukrainian at Stamford Bridge has long proved that he is not suitable for the Premier League. The three-party deal that Madman Lee painstakingly completed only brought a high-paying bench to the team..."
In European football, there are many people who hold the same views as Mike Donald.
Germany's "Kicker", "Bild", France's "L'Equipe", Spain's "Aspen", "Marca", "Mundo Deportivo" and other well-known media, almost none of them are optimistic about Shevchenko's transfer...
"The largest parallel importer in the history of the Premier League joined Newcastle"
Shevchenko and Newcastle, an elusive transfer combination
"Ukrainians' Parallel Import Tour of the Premier League, Next Stop - Saint James"
"Crazy Li's fan plot broke out again, sacrificing the interests of the team for a parallel importer"
"Ukrainian nuclear waste is happy to have a new owner, some are happy and some are sad"
Shevchenko, the beginning of a nightmare, or the rise of another Michael Owen? "
"Madman Li's Crazy and Crazy Actions, He Made All His Efforts Just for a Useless Person"
This time, even the editor-in-chief of England's "Observer", Paul Coentran, who had always been on Li Tongfan's side before, was concerned about the tone and wording when commenting on Shevchenko's transfer——
"... Yuri Zhirkov's transfer doesn't worry Newcastle fans, because at St. James, they have Marcelo and Gareth Bale, two younger great guys..."
"...The departure of the Russian brought 1300 million pounds to St. James. You must know that his worth was only 500 million six months ago. In this respect, Madman Lee has once again made a smart deal that makes all the club presidents think..."
"But Shevchenko, I'm sorry, I don't think he can return to his peak form in Newcastle, you must know that the Ukrainian is almost 32 years old this year..."
It seems that the views of the "Observer" seem to represent the general views of the English media.
In the opinion of many people, the introduction of Shevchenko should be a strategic decision of Madman Lee in building the Newcastle brand, rather than considering the competitive value of the Ukrainians... After all, although the competitive value has been declining, Shevchenko's influence in European football is still not negligible...
An outdated old star is eager to find his last stop in the five major leagues, and a new force that is trying to rise wants to establish its influence in the world...
The two hit it off, and things seemed that simple, nothing more!
Of course, there are not all doubts, and there are a few people who are optimistic about Shevchenko's transfer.
David Gilano, a former Newcastle legend who has become the owner of a winery, was asked by reporters about his views on the transfer when he attended an awards ceremony at a certain wine tasting conference. Gilano replied without hesitation——
"Mad Lee is always good at doing miracles, I'm looking forward to him bringing Shevchenko back to the top form... To be honest, if I wasn't so 'old', maybe I would go and beg Mad Lee to re-sign me..."
……
The controversy in the media continues.
To Li Tongfan's relief, Newcastle fans expressed their support for the transfer.Less than four or five hours after the transfer news was announced, more and more fans left messages expressing their support for the club's decision on the club's official website.
"Boring media, these bastards don't even think about it, has Mr. Rice Bucket ever made a wrong decision? Haha!"
"As a staunch Newcastle fan and fanatical Madman Lee fan, I, Kerikla, an ordinary fruit retailer, look forward to Shevchenko's return to the top like Beckham and Ronaldo, and look forward to the Ukrainian nuclear bomb bombing all opponents in St. James!"
"...[Flying Magpies] The fan association will organize fans to prepare for Shevchenko's joining ceremony. Please call the craziest 'magpies' to XXXXXX, so that the Ukrainian superstar can feel the enthusiasm of the Newcastle people!!"
"...Gossip, Shevchenko will wear the No. 99 jersey to fight for Newcastle. Our store is the first to launch a Shevchenko jersey pre-sale event. Don't miss this opportunity, first come, first served, and a mysterious gift...Remember, the order number-XXXXXXXX!!"
……
Time passed in the hustle and bustle.
According to the plan, in another five days, Shevchenko will come to Newcastle for a medical examination. If there are no major problems after the medical examination, the Ukrainian striker will officially sign the contract and join Newcastle.
The tide of controversy and criticism from the outside world cannot shake Li Tongfan's determination at all.
At this time, Senderos' agent, Shakman, had already begun to work hard for his client to join Newcastle. He must first meet Li Tongfan's request - to persuade AC Milan to "return" Senderos and return to Arsenal. Newcastle can make an offer to the Gunners, otherwise everything is empty talk!
At this time, the quality of a real broker is revealed!
Shakman did not achieve his goal by deliberately creating conflicts and letting players betray the club like the stupid Frenchman Quareos Rolla.
In fact, Lao Li didn't know what method the 50-year-old man with gold spectacles adopted. Anyway, the result was: Senderos broke up with AC Milan amicably on January 2009, 1, and returned to Arsenal on the second day after the transfer market opened!
"Arsenal's parallel imports were returned by the Rossoneri"
Senderos, the fall of a former defensive genius
"Even if he returns to Arsenal, there will be no place for the Swiss international"
"The Gunners secretly sold Swiss internationals to clubs, but today's geniuses no longer care about them"
"Senderos, a defective product from the Arsenal"
Media reports about Senderos are frequently seen in the newspapers, and Arsenal obviously do not want to keep the Swiss country at the Emirates Stadium... However, Li Tongfan did not immediately make an offer to Arsenal at this time.
Because Lao Li is not sure whether Professor Wenger will once again reject Newcastle's offer on the grounds that "the player cannot be sold to a competitor".
In Li Tongfan's view, the most sure way is to wait until Senderos is really 'rotten in the pot' and no one cares about it, which is the best time to make a move!
Senderos' agent, Shakman, did not urge Lao Li to make an offer immediately. Obviously, this shrewd man with gold-rimmed glasses also understands the joints.
In addition to player transfers, for Li Tongfan, there is another very important thing to do during this transfer period, and that is——
Invited to participate in the award ceremony of the 2008 World Footballer of the Year.
Due to some other reasons, the World Player of the Year award, which was supposed to be presented at the end of 08, was postponed to January 1, and the venue is still at the Big Brother Theater in Zurich, Switzerland!
Although before that, the "Manchester Post" and "The Times" have vowed to reveal that Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has locked the crown of World Footballer in advance...
However, many people are more willing to believe: this time the World Footballer selection is definitely the most suspenseful one in the past ten years!
Such suspense is mainly due to the existence of a person——
David Beckham!
