The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 321 Who Is The Master?
San Siro Stadium, Milan, Italy.

When Shevchenko received a pass from Thomason from the right and dribbled the ball past the opponent's two defenders, he sent it forward lightly. When Mi Chu pushed his right foot into the net, the crowd was a sensation!

All the fans in the entire San Siro stadium were chanting Kaka's name. The Brazilian superstar who scored twice in this game led AC Milan to complete an amazing reversal with a shocking performance, and finally Successfully helped the Rossoneri get a valuable three points.

Kaka, the Brazilian star who joined AC Milan in less than two years, has now become the darling of Rossoneri fans, and through his outstanding performance on the court, he has become one of the most dazzling stars in the world one.

There are a total of 15 VIP boxes at the San Siro Stadium, and in one of the boxes, Abramovich smiled and gave his applause after AC Milan scored a goal, but he and other AC Milan fans shouted Kaka His name is different, his laughter and applause are dedicated to Shevchenko who contributed an assist.

After the Ukrainian won the European Golden Globe Award, his performance is indeed getting better and better. In the first game after the winter break, he passed and shot. The kick just now was an assist. He also scored an equalizer for AC Milan before. It can be said that he is the biggest contributor to AC Milan's reversal of the opponent in this game.

If someone sees other people in the box at this time, I believe they will be a little surprised, because there are not only Abramovich and his best friend Pini Zahavi in ​​the box, but also two people, one It was Galliani, the general manager of AC Milan, and another middle-aged man of about half a hundred.

Galliani was also very satisfied after seeing the team scored the third goal and successfully reversed Udinese 3:1. After all, no one wants to lose face in front of friends, right?

"Okay, Roman, you can sit here for a while, I have to go down to do something!" Galliani stood up.

Although he knew very well in his heart that the reason why Roman Abramovich often came to the San Siro Stadium to watch football was to target Shevchenko, but he knew even more clearly that the relationship between AC Milan and Abramovich In the meantime, there is no deep hatred.

Even if Chelsea wants to poach people, Shevchenko has a contract with AC Milan, and as a shrewd businessman who has been involved in football for many years, he not only believes that there is no player in the world that cannot be sold, He believes even more that the poaching and seduction of the opponent is only an external factor, and the internal factor that really determines a player's transfer is whether you have the ability to retain people.

If you have enough ability to keep people, then no matter how high the price offered by the other party is, you have nothing to do. On the other hand, if you don't have the ability to keep people, then even if you treat the other party as a father-killing enemy, it will not help.

The football circle says it's not big, it's not small, one more friend is one more way, and AC Milan has always wanted to get Wild Boar Davis, after all, there is only one midfielder Gattuso, a little thin, Wild Boar now He is not young, and he will not be the main force this season. The price will not be high, but the quality is cheap.

In many cases, the rumors and speeches in the transfer market cannot be trusted. On the contrary, almost most of the transfers are carried out under your own will, no matter how fiercely the two sides scold in the newspapers. It's just a way to pretend to deceive the fans. Who will really tell the fans that I want to sell the star?
Pini Zahavi stood up to send Galliani out, and when he came back, he was praised by Abramovich.

The ability of the Israelis is indeed good. Now there is a lot of rumors about the black gold case in the UK, but in fact there is not much to do about him, because he is an Israeli, not an Englishman. At best, it can only be said that he has lost some face.

But Pini Zahavi is very concerned about Abramovich's affairs. Not only through his own relationship, he made friends with Frank Arnesen, and the latter also recommended Abramovich to meet Juan Arnesen. A football bigwig like Figel.

Juan Figel, that is a powerful figure that even a predator like Florentino treats as a guest of honor. He single-handedly created Leverkusen's Sanya King, which made him influential in European football The power has become in full swing, and now Real Madrid is almost all recommended and handled by Juan Figel from the head coach to the players.

Not only Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Porto, Barcelona, ​​AC Milan, Inter Milan and other clubs have close cooperative relations with Figel, but the Brazilian boss has no more involvement in the Premier League, and he has been They all want the opportunity to develop the Premier League market.

Therefore, the relationship between Abramovich and Figel is the combination of the interests of both parties.

But what made Abramovich most satisfied was Pini? Zahavi introduced him to Galliani.

Frankly speaking, as a Russian, Abramovich has always had an inexplicable love for Shevchenko, perhaps because they all come from the same place, so for Abramovich, no matter how much he buys, No matter how good the team's performance is, without Shevchenko, it is inevitable that there will be regrets.

"Andre's current limelight seems to be suppressed by Kaka!" Abramovich felt a little aggrieved for his compatriots.

Pini Zahavi nodded, "This person likes the new and dislikes the old, so do the fans. When they find out that the newcomer can bring them victory, how can they miss the old one?"

This can be described as a pun, and Abramovich listened to it in his heart, thinking that although Pini Zahavi was talking about Kaka and Shevchenko, he was actually talking about the head coach, implying that as long as the new head coach It can also lead the team to victory, so no one will care about how the previous head coach stepped down.

"Kaka's type of player is indeed very rare. His quick breakthrough in the middle and attacking, formed a very strong visual impact on the court, and from a tactical point of view, it is absolutely priceless, so Ancelotti The tactical arrangement of AC Milan will revolve around Kaka, and even Shevchenko will serve him."

In the box, the middle-aged man who had not spoken all this time stood up slowly, walked to the front, accompanied Abramovich on the left and right with Pini Zahavi, and listened to his analysis of Kaka The tone of the tactics with AC Milan can be said to be very calm, clear and logical, like a knowledgeable university professor.

"Afran, do you like him too?" Abramovich asked with a smile.

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, "I heard that Ye Qiu asserted before he even played a game in a professional league that this person would become the best and most outstanding superstar in the world in the future, and he clearly knew that Realizing the value of Kaka's technical characteristics, at this point, there is probably no one in the world today who can compare to Ye Qiu!"

When the middle-aged man mentioned Ye Qiu, Abramovich and Pini Zahavi were obviously a little embarrassed. The latter's face changed and he hit this friend named Afran Grant. With a wink, he signaled that he had better not mention that damn Ye Qiu in front of Abramovich.

"However, now Chelsea has Lampard in the middle of the midfield. Lampard's tactical characteristics are different from Kaka's. His ability to drive the ball is poor, but he wins because of his diligence and excellent defensive ability. It fits Ye Qiu's tactical positioning. Therefore, Kaka has no place at Chelsea."

There are gains and losses. Abramovich has been in the political and business circles for many years, so he naturally understands this truth, so when Grant said that, he couldn't help but believe it a little more, and he also knew this man for two or three years deep in his heart. Israelis are very trusting.

"What about Shevchenko?" Abramovich asked.

Grant looked down the court. The game was over. Players from both sides were leaving the field one after another. However, there were still many fans clinging to the stands, refusing to leave for a long time.

"Shevchenko has changed a lot in the past few years!" Grant had already prepared for this, "I still remember that when Dynamo Kiev swept Europa and was invincible, Shevchenko was the best player in that team. A dazzling star, his technical characteristics are a bit like the current Henry, his speed is as fast as the trend, his technique is simple, solid and deadly, he can create opportunities by himself, and he can also have a stable scoring ability, very comprehensive."

"After switching to AC Milan, he came to a giant, and the support given by the midfielder was obviously more than that of Dynamo Kiev. Shevchenko no longer needed to create opportunities by himself like he did in Dynamo Kiev, so he began to change. Becoming a stable scorer, he is good at grabbing points with headers, coupled with speed and technique, he can be said to be the most outstanding, stable and comprehensive scorer in world football in recent years."

"And in the last year, I noticed that Shevchenko's style has changed again. With the improvement of age and the accumulation of experience, the player's quotient will also improve, and the awareness of playing football will gradually help players change. His own style, and with the arrival of Kaka, and Ancelotti's reuse of Kaka, Shevchenko must make way for Kaka in front, all of which force him to change own tactical style."

"Now Shevchenko not only has efficient and stable scoring ability, although his speed has declined, but he plays smarter and more creatively, especially now he is more for Kaka. At the same time, he is responsible for withdrawing and participating in the connection between the midfield and the striker, which makes Shevchenko's assist ability also improved."

"Shevchenko is the striker with the most assists in Serie A so far this season, and his goals have not been cut much, so he is undoubtedly in his golden age now, and it is definitely a real achievement to win the European Ballon d'Or. Well deserved!"

This round of analysis by Grant not only has enough evidence to support his remarks, but also speaks eloquently. From Shevchenko's debut to the present, his analysis is very detailed and immediately won a burst of applause from Abramovich .

"Well, you really deserve to be a talented coach from Israel!" Abramovich applauded.

Pini Zahavi also looked at Grant approvingly, nodded and said: "Afran is definitely the No. The performance of the team has always been excellent, whether it is the youth training or the adult team, he is very good at it, and he is an all-rounder with rich tactical knowledge!"

Grant didn't seem to be disgusted by Pini Zahavi's admiration, he just smiled, nodded and said nothing.

Abramovich had an exchange with Grant in Israel long before the acquisition of Chelsea. At that time, he was full of praise for Grant's rich tactical knowledge. Now after hearing Grant's evaluation, he immediately became interested. .

"Afran, tell me again, can my Chelsea accommodate Shevchenko?"

Grant glanced at Pini Zahavi, who remained calm.

"Of course!" Grant nodded without hesitation, "Anyone who can become the world's top star often has wisdom that ordinary players don't have. The same is true for Shevchenko's level. His current technical characteristics are actually very good. In line with Chelsea's tactical requirements."

"We can look at it this way. Chelsea's midfield is very good. Lampard's offensive ability is very similar to that of AC Milan's Kaka. And Shevchenko can cooperate with Kaka so tacitly. Naturally, he can also cooperate with Kaka. Lampard has played well together."

"Actually, many people are worried about players' ability to adapt to the new environment. They are often concerned about some players with relatively simple technical characteristics, but Shevchenko is very comprehensive. He is on the front line with Ronaldinho and Rooney will form a cooperation, which will definitely boost Chelsea's attack power to the maximum."

"Shevchenko is not only capable of scoring, he is also very good at heading and grabbing points, so that we can maximize the attack power of Chelsea on the two wings, with Ronaldinho and Rooney at Shevchenko. With Coe beside him, Lampard, Deco and Makelele in the midfield, Chelsea's frontcourt attack ability will definitely be improved to a higher level than it is now, enough to disdain Europa!"

Thinking of this, Grant thought for a while and said: "However, the attack in the frontcourt is so good, the backcourt must be adjusted. For example, Evra and Maicon are the two full-backs. It is best to keep only one. Van der Sar is the goalkeeper. Although it is stable, it should be adjusted at such an age."

"But, no matter what, I can guarantee that the joining of Shevchenko will definitely allow Chelsea to play more hearty offensive football, and will create a blue offensive storm in the Premier League and European competitions!"

"Well said! Well said!!!" Abramovich pointed at Grant and kept praising him.

Turning around and facing the San Siro Stadium, he felt as if he had met a confidant and a right-hand assistant, because what he wanted was the kind of football that destroys opponents with offense, although Ye Qiu's football has been called by many people. It is a model of offensive football, but he is still not satisfied, because what Ye Qiu wants in his football is balance and control.

If Ye Qiu really wanted to let go of his hands and feet to attack, why didn't he let Shevchenko go for Drogba?
"Afran is right, but the problem is, it won't work!" Pini Zahavi laughed at the side at this critical moment.

"Why doesn't it work?" Abramovich asked, frowning.

Pini Zahavi smiled, "I still remember that when we met Ye Qiu in China, he put forward a two-year plan and guaranteed to lead the team to the Premier League championship within two years. In fact, he has already It has greatly exceeded my expectations, not because of his excellent coaching ability, but because of your continuous high investment in the team over the past two years!"

Abramovich was also noncommittal after hearing this, which made Pini Zahavi, who is good at observing words and expressions, secretly smile.

"A lot of times people are lazy. When he has managed to build a strong and stable tactical structure, no one will break this stability casually, which will affect the results. They want to do it more. The most important thing is to use inertia to maximize the success of the team.”

Abramovich couldn't help nodding. Whether it's business and marketing, or football management, such an approach is understandable and human.

"Of course, if it is for some other teams, there is nothing wrong with it, everyone is like this, but for Chelsea, a team that has a high investment every year, this approach is too cautious, and it can even be said Conservative, because with the current Chelsea tactics and lineup, unless the head coach is too bad, otherwise, winning the championship is a matter of course."

Chelsea's current lineup is so strong, looking at today's European football, perhaps there are many main lineups comparable, but if you bring a substitute lineup, who can compare with Chelsea?

"I have always felt that managing a club is the same as managing a large company. If the leader is too weak, the people under him will inevitably be lazy and have the mentality of muddling along. The same is true in Chelsea today. If you put pressure on Ye Qiu, he will not easily seek changes and break the pattern he has built up with great difficulty."

When talking about this, Pini Zahavi smiled, "Chelsea is already the top team in Europe, and it is the sweet spot in the eyes of any head coach. No one is willing to leave, even Ye Qiu, I believe he will not easily give up the team he has worked so hard to build."

After a pause, Pini Zahavi said again: "Of course, we still need to respect his authority as the head coach of the team, but I still think, Roman, you need to use some means and methods to take care of yourself." Remind him, who is the master!"

Abramovich looked at Pini Zahavi again, but he didn't see any expression on his indifferent face.

He is not an idiot, he sees clearly the contradictions among the people under him, but sometimes, as a leader, all you have to do is coordinate instead of intervene, keep yourself out of it, and be in a detachment This is the means that a good leader should have.

However, he also felt that Ye Qiu's reputation and influence had become more and more out of control, and even in the hearts of the Blues fans, it had reached a point where they only knew Ye Qiu and did not know Abramovich. up.

Abramovich remained silent all the time. After thinking for two or three minutes, he sighed lightly.

"I'll think about it again!"
