Chapter 1190 Close the door and release Abu! (2)
PS1: I caught a cold last Christmas Eve, so I got a cold worse today. So I went to the hospital for an IVF in the morning, so I updated late. I hope all book friends will forgive me...
PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.
PS3: Here I would like to thank the book friend "Pastor Zhudao" for his reward.
In addition to the announcement that Lazio has been successfully acquired by him, at this press conference, Abramovich, who looked full of energy, promised in front of all the media reporters present that he would invest huge sums of money this summer to introduce strong aids and enhance the team's strength, so that Lazio, who is already in decline, will return to the ranks of championship contenders!
Most Lazio fans were extremely excited about this statement from the new boss. After experiencing the Kranioti Golden Yuan era, they have long been accustomed to watching many big-name stars wearing sky blue robes to fight for Lazio, and Abramovich, who is capable of doing this, was naturally welcomed by them.
Of course, there are also some extremist fan organizations who oppose foreign capital entering Lazio, believing that Lazio is an Italian, should not be taken over by a foreigner. However, since Berezovsky's case of acquiring Samp, their opposition and threat did not contain much effect. Instead, they were later banned by the Italian police for some extreme actions and illegal acts, and their members were also arrested under the police's thunder. This is a later story, so I won't mention it here.
With the news of Lazio's change of ownership being recognized by Abramovich himself, this means that from this Italian Capital Club officially bid farewell to the era of Cranioti that has brought them countless glory and joy, and entered the era of ruble under the control of this Russian oligarch!
Let me explain here that Abramovich originally planned to acquire a Premier League club, such as Tottenham and Chelsea, which have a considerable influence in the British football industry, and then increased their popularity by investing heavily in football and became a guest of honor for the British government, thus achieving the goal of avoiding disasters and protecting themselves. However, under the persuasion of his staff, the Russian tycoon who had the upper hand in businessman nature eventually gave up Chelsea with poor "money prospects" and Tottenham Hotspur, who held his own identity and asked for too high prices, and instead chose Lazio, who was heavily debted due to the fall of Kranioti and the crisis of the Chirio Group.
After all, compared with two clubs, Chelsea and Tottenham, who missed the league championship for many years and could only play in domestic cup games, Lazio is much better than these two teams in terms of player configuration and popularity. In any case, the Blue Eagles have been a strong contender for the Serie A championship in the past few seasons, and even defeated the high-spirited Fiorentina in the 199-00 season to successfully win the league trophy. Moreover, in the past few years, Cranioti's successive actions in the transfer market have accumulated a lot of popularity for Lazio, and its influence around the world is also quite huge, which are incomparable to Premier League clubs such as Chelsea.
The most important thing is that although Italy, which is full-time and cute, is far less powerful than the UK in terms of influence, this does not mean that there is no force in Italy that can help Abu.
Indeed, from a national perspective, Abu's choice to invest in Italy rather than the UK was a perfect trick. However, considering that Abu's former business partner Berezovsky was still able to live a very comfortable life after he went into exile to Italy, and he had no risk of life or food and clothing. The implicit meaning of this is that an old fox like Abramovich who is both in politics and business will certainly not ignore it.
The talk is too far, and now it gets back to the point. When news of Abramovich's acquisition of Lazio spread throughout Europe, the major European clubs' reactions to this can be said to be different. Big clubs outside Italy, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, have recovered from their calmness after being surprised. In their opinion, although this Russian tycoon is very powerful, it is still difficult to do if he wants to poach their corners or compete with them for players. After all, Lazio's current attractiveness to players is no longer as good as that of the past, especially after the fall of Mendeta, many stars are afraid of Lazio's recruitment, fearing that he will repeat the mistakes of the former Spanish national team core.
Compared with the giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, Juventus seemed much more nervous. Especially when the old fox learned from the Agnelli family that Abramovich and Zhuang Mingge had had a very close cooperation experience in Russia and had a good personal relationship between the two, Moji immediately classified Lazio as a Fiorentine faction and decided to guard against it and never let Florence provide another strong support in the country!
In addition, Moji also focused on Sampdoria. Because he knew that Sampdoria's boss Berezovsky and Abramovich had a big holiday, so his Sampdoria would inevitably be in the same position as Lazio. In this way, Juventus had the opportunity to bring Sampdoria into their trenches. After all, there is a saying that the enemy's enemy is a friend...
It has to be said that compared with last year, 2003 can really be called a turbulent autumn. First, David Beckham, known as the "football heartthrob", and Sir Ferguson jointly staged a flying boot incident. Then Real Madrid unexpectedly announced on the second day after winning the La Liga championship that he did not renew his contract with the team's head coach Boske and captain Jero. Barcelona chairman Gaspart's term was not over, and he stepped down due to a series of mistakes in the transfer market and the team's sluggish record. Now, Russian tycoon Abramovich publicly announced his entry into Lazio, making the already storm European football world even more confusing. I can't guess what else will happen next.
That's right, although European football has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the previous life under the promotion of Zhuang Mingge, the little butterfly, the flying boot gate incident still happened as scheduled in this world. After Sir Ferguson lost to his arch rival Arsenal at Manchester United, a sensational foot hit Beckham's eyebrow. With this as the fuse, the relationship between this pair of masters and apprentices who were once close to father and son has now completely broken down!
Since Ferguson's authority in the team was unshakable, Beckham's departure was almost certain. Manchester United had to give up the money tree of Beckham and put him in the transfer market, intending to make another final profit after mediation.
