Chapter 212 Di Matteo Arrives

It has been several days since I came to London, because it is early July now, and most of Chelsea players are still enjoying their rare holidays, and there is at least half a month left before the club's training camp next season.

Qin Tian has moved into a small villa arranged by Abu for him. The appearance is not particularly luxurious, but it meets Qin Tian's requirements. It is close to the training base and the environment in the community is relatively quiet. Qin Tian doesn't care much about other things. When he saw this villa on the first day, Qin Tian was already very satisfied.[]

While Qin Tian was busy decorating his place to live, Chelsea club completed several more transactions in the past few days. Bosinva on the team's defense line transferred to Valencia for 10 million, Paul Ferreira transferred to Porto for 5 million, and Joe Cole transferred to Premier League for 11 million, and Chelsea's changes this summer are also quite big. Of course, except for Qin Tian's deal that attracts attention, nothing else is considered heavyweight.

Of course, these things are not about Qin Tian. After sorting out his residence, Qin Tian had moved in from the hotel. Everything was still good, but now there are many long spears and short cannons outside the house all day long. Now the most important thing Qin Tian does at his home every day is to pull the curtains. Otherwise, Qin Tian would not have any doubts in the newspaper the next day that he would see photos of himself wearing his pants on the front page headlines, which made Qin Tian helpless and unhappy.

Before coming to England, Qin Tian had heard friends talk about the name of the English paparazzi. If there is a country in Europe that has the most professional football media, I believe that one hundred people have 100 answers, but if you ask which country’s football media is the most unreliable, there is only one answer: the British media.

Because what they care most about is the gossip news of the players. In order to attract readers' attention, increase newspaper sales, and TV ratings, even if it is fake, it is still a waste of time. Look at the countless news and friends' news of Premier League players. Qin Tian sometimes admires how these Premier League players play football with peace of mind on the court.

Now, as long as Qin Tian poked his head out of the window or walked out of the door, the reporters waiting outside pressed the camera in their hands, and the crackling sounds quickly sounded. Qin Tian also knew that his every move would attract everyone's attention now, and this would also become his living conditions for at least five years in the next.

Well, although I feel very unhappy, Qin Tian still waves to these reporters every time he goes out. After all, he is also working and he needs to maintain a good relationship with them. This is what Jessica has repeatedly reminded.

Perhaps due to the influence of Qin Tian’s transfer incident, time gradually moved towards mid-July, and almost all clubs in the five major leagues in Europe were ready to move.

First of all, it is in the Premier League, but unlike everyone imagines that Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and other giant clubs not only did not have any big transfer incidents, but the stars in their own team were frequently poached by other clubs, and the three teams looked like they were sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, which puzzled the outside world. The pseudo-giant Manchester City team set off a round of bloody storm in the Premier League, and made crazy purchases from various clubs according to Manchester's needs.

After Qin Tian joined Chelsea, Mancini readjured his acquisition plan, first of all, slimming the team, sending Elano to Galatasaray in Turkey for 8 million, Sturric transferred to Chelsea, and some other young players also rented out. They increased their efforts, which can be said to be crazy. They bought Adebay from Arsenal for 25 million pounds and brought Toure to his command, and 25 million pounds to poach Tevez from Manchester United. They are still in talks with Lescott of Everton, Santa Cruz of Blackburn and Barry of Aston Villa.

Turning his eyes to the Iberian Peninsula, Real Madrid club Florentino, who was unwilling to fail, walked out of the Qintian incident and continued to wave the checkbook in his hand. This time his target was Alonso and Aberoa of Liverpool in the Premier League. Never question Florentino's determination, which can underestimate the fatal attraction of Real Madrid to players.

35 million euros allowed Alonso to the Bernabeu Stadium, and 4 million took Aberoa into his pocket. Florentino's pace did not stop, and he took his eyes from the foreign leagues, and the next round of the goal was aimed at the clubs in the La Liga. The World Sports also kept reminding Barcelona to be careful of every player in the family and poachers.

When Barcelona faced the strong Real Madrid, they would not be willing to let the other party keep playing the solo show. The Swedish Demotayib came to Iberia for 68 million euros. The Catalans were prepared for it.

After experiencing a comprehensive failure of last season, the club's senior executives were also quite dissatisfied. Purchasing players and integrating the team became their choice. First, they stabilized Frenchman Ribery, and then spent 25 million euros to bring Robben from Real Madrid to Allianz Stadium. This series of actions also made Bayern fans happy and satisfied. After all, the team has not made such a big deal for a long time, and many fans have begun to look forward to the arrival of their new season.

The entire European football world is full of news because of this transfer from Chelsea, and the entire European star shines. The new season of the Champions League will undoubtedly be a battlefield where many heroes compete and are excited. No wealthy family is willing to become a laggard and become a stepping stone for others at this time.

At this moment, in the office of Chelsea boss Abu, several team executives were also having the final discussion of the head coach. Abu had already decided to decide the candidate, but there were still many senior executives who were optimistic about Ancelotti. Everyone had a very fierce discussion. Abu kept listening but not speaking.

"No matter what, we must determine the head coach as soon as possible. Without a head coach, the team cannot even determine the training time. The team has changed a lot this summer. Prepare as soon as possible to better integrate the team and improve combat effectiveness. You must know that this summer, Manchester United and Arsenal have changed very little. Judging from the team's cooperation, they are undoubtedly stronger than us, so determining the head coach as soon as possible is the top priority," said Kenyon.

Kenyon's opinion was pertinent, but the differences could not be fully reconciled for a while. Looking at everyone's discussion, Abu remained silent. Ancelotti had experience and reputation, but the key was to be obedient. The main problem was that he had never coached teams in other leagues. Logically, Abu liked such a coach, but Qin Tian's words were always recalled in his mind.

DiMatio DiMatio! Abu's eyes lit up and decided, "Just DiMatio. Since the biggest job of our team in the new season is running-in, then try DiMatio. Maybe this coach with little experience will surprise the team."

"But his lack of qualifications will make him insufficient control over the locker room?" Someone raised a practical question, after all, there are many thorns in the locker room in Chelsea.

"If she can't handle this well, then winter is the time for him to leave," Abu spitted out a cigarette ring and said firmly.

I have to say that Abu is gambling. Since he wants to play, he will play big things, and some people can't understand them.

On July 7, Chelsea announced another news on its official website that the club has signed a 1+1 short-term contract with Italian Di Matteo, and the club will also hold a formal press conference for Di Matteo on July 9.

Di Matteo, is he OK? This is a question surrounding the minds of the English media and Chelsea fans. As one of the best midfielders in Chelsea's history, the midfield composed of Di Matteo, Poyette, Wise, and Peterscu is also a very classic lineup of Chelsea.

As a player, Di Matteo has played for Schaffhausen, Zurich, Arrow, Lazio and Chelsea. In 2002, he ended his career as a serious injury and returned to the football world as a head coach in 2008. He was loved by fans no matter which team he left Lazio in 2019. When he left Lazio in 2019, fans surrounded the club's headquarters and demanded the cancellation of the transfer contract. When he retired, countless fans sent him emails and gifts.

In July 2008, Di Matteo began his head coaching career and won third place in the League One last season. He finally lost to Scanthorp in the play-offs and failed to advance to the English Championship.

Di Matteo is successful as a player. As a coach, he has just started on the road. His coaching career at Chelsea was as outstanding as Mourinho back then. Or he was fired by Abram midway through the season. Everything will be revealed one by one in the new season.

Regarding Di Matteo's arrival, the reporters also interviewed Qin Tian at the first time. Qin Tian gave clear support to the new Chelsea coach, "Yes, he is a newcomer, and lack of experience is the main problem, but so what? Which famous coach did not start from scratch, and being young means he dares to fight and fight. I believe this is also the reason why Chairman Abu chose him.

Coach Dimateo has played for Chelsea and has feelings for it. In comparison, I am a newcomer, so we should all give him enough time to prove himself. I personally support him for his arrival." Qin Tian also saw Dimateo coaching the team online. He is very passionate, has excellent tactical qualities between the teams, and he pays more attention to cooperation between the players. He is still a very capable coach.

On the second day after Di Matteo took office, he contacted Qin Tian and just chatted for a few simple words. The main content was to confirm the team's concentration time with Qin Tian: July 15th, this is also the day when Qin Tian met his Chelsea teammates for the first time.*************************************************************************************************************** I thought about it and I think Di Matteo is good and doesn't like Fatty An. What's more, Chelsea's first Champions League was completed at Di Matteo's office, so I pulled him in in advance.
