Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Helen, a reporter from The Times, arrived at the press conference early.

Last time she stayed in the hotel for two or three days, and finally "caught" Mikhail and conducted a simple interview.

After returning home, I published a special report introducing the legendary experience of the new Arsenal boss, which indeed attracted the interest of many British people and became very popular.

After all, a young man in his early twenties has achieved such great achievements. It is hard not to be curious.

After tasting the sweetness, Helen set her sights on Arsenal Club because she clearly remembered that when she interviewed Mikhail, the other party told her that they would bring several real superstars!

Now that Chelsea's report card has been released, it's eye-catching, but not shocking enough.

Because although the money spent is a lot, a truly heavyweight superstar is one who has no...

This obviously cannot attract too much attention from fans, which means people in the football circle understand that Chelsea will be more difficult to deal with next year.

Ordinary fans don't care about this. What they want to see most is one superstar after another!

Now the hope lies with Arsenal. Judging from the current foundation of Arsenal's team, it is impossible for them to make a major change like Chelsea.

The transfer strategy must be less but more refined, which means that every player introduced may be a superstar!

There is no need to guess at the press conference held today, the transfer news will definitely be announced.

I just don’t know which superstar is coming to Arsenal…

…………

David Dein personally presided over the press conference. He walked onto the podium with a cheerful face and strong steps.

Recently, David Dein has been in a very happy mood, and everything he does goes very smoothly.

Even the transfers that were expected to be difficult became less difficult after waving huge checks, and the opposing club began to become easy to talk to...

Of course, David Dein also understands the reasons for all these changes.

Without the huge financial support of new owner Mikhail, there would be no Arsenal today!

"Dear journalist friends, welcome to Arsenal's press conference..."

After a simple opening statement, David Dein did not beat around the bush and directly released a piece of big news that shocked the audience.

"After friendly negotiations, we have reached an agreement with Juventus to bring goalkeeper Buffon to Arsenal for a transfer fee of 58 million euros!"

It started boiling with a "boom" below!

Fifty-eight million euros!

Buffon!

Whether it's the transfer fee amount or the player's name, it's enough to shock everyone.

You know, in recent years, there have been only a handful of transfers worth over 50 million euros, and they may not happen once in two or three years.

Before this year, the last transfer that exceeded 50 million euros was Zidane's transfer to Real Madrid in 2001, with a transfer fee of 65 million euros!

The highest transfer market record in 2002 was Ferdinand's transfer to Manchester United, with a transfer fee of 30 million pounds, approximately 46 million euros.

Today, Arsenal's purchase price is 58 million euros. This "standard king" level super transfer has brought Buffon, the undisputed number one goalkeeper among active players, back from the Italian giant Juventus... …

The reporters below all raised their hands, eager to ask questions.

"Mr. David Dein, is this news confirmed? Have the two parties signed a formal transfer contract?"

The reporter still couldn't believe it.

"Is Buffon really worth such a high transfer fee? He is just a goalkeeper..."

Some reporters may be biased against the goalkeeper position, thinking that Buffon is not worth that much money.

However, no reporter questioned whether Arsenal's introduction of Buffon was inappropriate, because Buffon's strength is recognized by anyone who knows a little about football!

A goalkeeper in his early twenties, with first-class physical fitness, extremely high competitive level, and a steady style of play.

How important this is to a team can only be said to be understood.

Because such a goalkeeper can last at least ten years if his competitive level does not suddenly drop.

It “preserves value” more than any other position!

This is why the first transfer candidate Wang Ye proposed was Buffon.

…………

Facing the many raised hands below, David Dein smiled slightly and did not rush to answer reporters' questions.

Because he still has news to announce.

Clearing his throat, he continued: "I know everyone is anxious and want to ask questions, but don't worry yet, because I still have transfer news to announce."

"Similarly, after friendly negotiations, we have reached an agreement with Milan Club. Center defender Nesta will be transferred to our club for a transfer fee of 56 million euros!"

Another super shocking news!

After the first transfer news was released, everyone thought that this would be Arsenal's big deal this year, and any other transfers would probably be small-money transfers.

But everyone never expected that not only was there, but it was no less than the first transfer!

Nesta!

Super central defender!

The player known as the "strongest central defender" has been selected into the UEFA Best Team for many consecutive years.

Regardless of whether it is selected by coaches, evaluated by reporters, or in the minds of fans, Nesta is one of the best at the center back position at this time!

Definitely not inferior to Ferdinand, who just transferred to Manchester United for 46 million euros last year.

Two super big moves in succession made the reporters in the audience feel numb.

All of them are worth more than 50 million euros. Any one of them would have been a king-level transfer in previous years, and would only happen once in several years.

As a result, two of them came as soon as Arsenal made a move...

First, Chelsea directly introduced a "new team", and then Arsenal successively introduced superstars in a big way, which made all reporters present feel confused.

Everyone vaguely feels that the future of professional football seems to be changing...

What kind of historical heritage, what kind of inheritance from a wealthy club, what kind of fan base, these things that everyone valued most in the past may not be as good as a rich and willful club owner!

As long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy any superstar!

With a superstar, are you still worried about not being able to perform well?

In the final analysis, professional football is just a business. As long as you have enough money, you can have everything you want...

…………

Now, everyone no longer dares to speak rashly.

Because no one knows if David Dein has any big news that he hasn't announced yet.

The reporters in the audience raised their faces and looked at David Dein eagerly, expecting to hear another shocking news from him.

As a result, David Dein really did not disappoint everyone...
