"Luther, I really thank you this time, but don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who turns around and doesn't recognize people. I also said before your arrangement. I hope you can become a player and the first assistant coach and help saki manage the team well. Similarly, I won't let you down in terms of salary. "
"Then I'll thank the boss." Gullit shrugged.
"Luther, my friends call me John. You can also call me John. In private, we can be friends. By the way, try the new red wine of Kangdi winery this year. This year's Kangdi is said to be the best quality over the years. If you like, you can take a box to collect." Li Feng said to Gullit, holding his glass and shaking it gently.
Although Li Feng is not a professional in tasting red wine, he has gradually learned something about red wine. After all, this is also the need of high-class social networking in Europe and America. Under the guidance of Uncle Wang, the top private British housekeeper, Li Feng can also pretend to be forced in front of ordinary people.
"Then I'm welcome. I hope Chelsea will get better and better. Cheers!"
Gullit also felt that Li Feng was a good boss at this time. Although his position as head coach was gone, it seemed good to be the first assistant coach next to Sacchi. Besides, he was also a team player.
Thinking of these feelings, I completely calmed down, tasted the best red wine such as Romani Kangdi, looked at Li Feng's top luxury Boeing aircraft and enjoyed it.
Yes, Li Feng is already on a private plane. To show his sincerity, Li Feng is ready to invite him in person.
……
In Milan, Italy, after a three hour flight, Li Feng's private plane arrived at the airport in the urban area of Milan. When Li Feng and his party arrived, thanks to Li Feng's top users of express, there were reception vehicles waiting long ago.
When Li Feng and his party left the airport, they immediately got into the waiting motorcade and headed for Sacchi's residence in Milan. In the 96-97 season, Sacchi coached AC Milan, so he is now living in Milan city.
The luxury manor around Lake Como has been one of the most famous gathering places of celebrities in Italy since ancient times. Lake Como is also known as the "most beautiful lake in Italy". Saki's residence is also on the Bank of the famous Lake Como. Although it's not the top luxury house, it's good.
When Li Feng and his party arrived at saki's villa under the guidance of the team leader, it was only the evening of that day. At this time, looking at the beautiful Como lake and the reflected glow, Li Feng officially enjoyed the famous beauty of Como lake.
Seeing the beautiful scenery of Lake Como, Li Feng couldn't help thinking of those famous Lake Villas in the future, such as the "house of the future" of Mr. Gates, as if it were just over Lake Washington. The scenery was very good.
Li Feng thought that he is also a super rich. There are still too few luxury houses in the world. It seems that he should take time to find them. This villa on Lake Como is good.
Thanks to the previous pseudo fans, the villa by Lake Como began with the stars of the two major teams in Milan.
Anyway, most of the big stars of the two giants in Milan live in luxury houses in Como Lake area. From time to time in previous lives, you can hear about so and so star entering the main Como lake villa or trading villa.
……
Leaving all the security personnel such as Joseph and the reception personnel arranged by express, Li Feng took gulit and walked into a two-story villa with a small garden covering an area of about 300 square meters by Lake Como.
As soon as he approached the gate, Li Feng saw a familiar face in his previous life. It was the iconic bald head and smiling face looking at Li Feng and Gullit.
"Arigo, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you recently?" Gullit went in that day, hugged saki warmly, and then greeted him with a smile.
"Not bad, Luther. Welcome." Saki and Gullit also hugged and then said to him in English.
Obviously, considering Li Feng's presence, saki greeted him in English. From this little detail, we can see how smart people like saki are.
"This is Mr. John Lee, a business genius from Midea. John, nice to meet you here. Welcome to Milan." Saki said hello to Gullit, then looked at Li Feng and smiled.
"Hello, Mr. Sacchi. I'm St. John Lee, the new owner of Chelsea in the Premier League and a football fan. Italy led by you is my favorite national team.
In 1994, I went to the world cup and watched all the matches in Italy's knockout stage. Unfortunately, I fell short at the last minute. It's a pity, but it almost made me cry. "
……
"Really, I didn't expect such an opportunity for us. Unfortunately, I knew you had such business talent. I must have found a way to get to know Mr. John. Maybe now I may become a super rich man." After listening to Li Feng's words, saki joked happily.
"Ha ha... Maybe, who knows." The three joked and walked into the villa, including saki's family.
"Mr. saki, as a champion coach like you, I think I should not worry that there is no invitation from the club, but please believe my sincerity and enthusiasm for football.
I want to build Chelsea and make it a big team in Europe. It's not a temporary preference. Here I sincerely hope you can coach Chelsea. " After chatting and tasting coffee, Li Feng finally spoke directly.
"That's true. There are many invitations from teams on my desk. I haven't made a final decision yet. That's why I promised to see you."
"Since that is the case, I will say frankly that for Chelsea, I have my own plan. I believe that professional things should be done by professional people. Therefore, for the team, I also believe in one thing, that is, the development foundation of the team is based on the achievements of the team.
When the team always wins the championship, the rest of the development of the team will be more and more smooth, such as commercial development and so on.
For Chelsea, I have a short-term three-year plan. For example, in the first year, I just want to ensure that Chelsea can enter the Champions League and the knockout.
At the beginning of the second season, he began to attack various champions. After 2-3 years, he hopes to become a long-term favorable contender for the league championship. If he can enter the top 8, top 4 of the Champions League, or even the championship, it is naturally the best. But I hope the team can participate in the Champions League every year, which is the basis for increasing the team's heritage.
……
Of course, I also know that this requires the team to have enough strength. At present, Chelsea is obviously lacking. I think Luther should know this very well.
Although Chelsea achieved good results last year, it was only sixth. It was a pity that it was not the Champions League. In the Premier League, Manchester United is the boss, Liverpool is beginning to decline and Arsenal is rising.
Including Chelsea, Leeds United and other teams, it can be regarded as a second gear team, but in fact, everyone knows the operation of the team, whether Chelsea or Leeds United.
Although the team's performance looks good and occasionally can enter the Champions League, the previous bosses are operating in debt. Since the Bosman act, the value and salary of players are getting higher and higher. These teams may not be able to afford those high salaries in the future.
Perhaps in a few years, these suddenly rising teams will eventually collapse because of their financial problems.
Football in the future will show a phenomenon more and more. I call it the "golden age". If you have money, you can hire champion coaches and buy superstars. A strong team can be established in a short time.
If we can have continuous highlight performance and even win several important titles in a row, a rich team will rise. At least for now, first, I don't lack wealth and have enough financial resources to ensure the development of Chelsea. Second, I won't be eager for quick success and instant benefit and have my own plan.
I think this is an opportunity for Chelsea, for me, and for the team members. Maybe when the team really rises into a powerful family, the team members at that time will become meritorious members in the history of the club.
Here, I sincerely invite Mr. Sacchi to coach Chelsea. I appreciate your regional defense and the ambiguity of future player positions. In the new season, I promise at least US $100 million transfer funds to let Mr. Sacchi strengthen the team according to your vision. "
……
"100 million dollars?" After listening to Li Feng's final transfer funds, Sacchi asked in surprise.
"At least 100 million, no upper limit." Li Feng replied definitely.
