I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 194: Overstepping the line! No where to go! Tell me, which bank in the world makes as much money as I do? [Subscribe]

March 1st afternoon, Wembley Stadium, London.

In the 24th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese played against Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Redknapp's team used a 442 double defensive midfielder tactic away from home.

The main defensive midfielder is former Bayswater Chinese player Huddlestone and Palacios.

The two wingers are Kranjcar and Bentley.

The central defenders are Michael Dawson and Ledley King.

Tottenham Hotspur has been performing well recently, and this central defender combination on the back line has made a huge contribution.

Especially Ledley King.

If it weren't for injuries, the central defender's achievements would have been much greater.

The forward line is a combination of Defoe and Crouch, one tall and one fast.

Redknapp's tactics are very British, which is defensive counterattack.

Especially the two side lanes.

Compared with the well-staffed Tottenham Hotspur, Yang Cheng's Bayswater Chinese are short of manpower.

Including Gareth Bale, Modric, Thiago Silva and others, all missed the game due to injuries.

Plus there is Andy Carroll who was banned by Yang Cheng.

The Chinese influence in Bayswater is huge.

Over the past few days, with someone deliberately spreading the rumor, fans across the UK and even the world know that Andy Carroll is determined to switch to Chelsea.

This also somewhat shook the Chinese dressing room in Bayswater.

But even so, after the opening, the Chinese in Bayswater still adopted their best offensive tactics as always and took the initiative.

In just one minute, Walcott seized an opportunity in the frontcourt and quickly moved forward to have a one-on-one opportunity.

Unfortunately, the linesman raised his flag to signal offside.

The little tiger's penetration won thunderous applause from Wembley Stadium.

But Tottenham Hotspur is not willing to just passively take the beating.

The North London team tried more to find Crouch with long passes and launch attacks around the tall English player.

Defoe's speed has become Tottenham's killer weapon.

For example, in the 10th minute, it was Crouch who headed the ball towards the far post and created Tottenham's first shot of the game.

In the 21st minute, Crouch headed the ball after receiving a long pass, and Defoe broke into the penalty area, but Matic returned to defense in time and decisively tackled the ball to clear it.

Tottenham Hotspur quickly launched a tactical corner kick, hoping to catch the Chinese players in Bayswater off guard.

Unexpectedly, Kompany intercepted the ball and passed it to Marcelo on the wing.

Marcelo passed the ball forward and it reached Hazard's feet.

The Belgian dribbled the ball and broke into the left side of Tottenham's penalty area.

When Lewandowski had already run to the front to receive the ball, he suddenly made a reverse triangle pass to the unguarded middle.

At this time, Aaron Ramsey, who had rushed over, met the ball and shot directly.

The ball went straight into the lower right corner of the goal.

Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez dived sideways and blocked the ball with one hand, barely averting a goal crisis.

But the ball still fell on the right side of Tottenham's penalty area.

Walcott quickly got in and after receiving the ball, he first pretended to shoot directly, fooled center back Michael Dawson, dribbled the ball back, and then made a horizontal pass.

Lewandowski got the ball in the middle of the small penalty area and kicked it forward.

Before Gomez could fully stand up, the ball had already gone into Tottenham's goal.

The entire Wembley Stadium suddenly erupted with unprecedented passion!
……

After taking the lead, the Bayswater Chinese continued to launch attacks on Tottenham.

Tottenham continued to defend and counterattack.

In the 41st minute of the first half, there was a throw-in opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt. After Tottenham threw the ball out, Huddlestone made another long pass.

Crouch overpowered Kompany and headed the ball behind him.

Defoe quickly moved forward, caught up with Crouch's header on the right side of the penalty area, and calmly shot the ball into the goal, which went past Neuer's goal.

1 is better than 1!

The two sides are back to a draw again!

But no one expected that just as Tottenham equalized the score and Sky Sports hadn't even finished broadcasting the live replay of the goal, the Chinese from Bayswater took the lead again.

After the restart, Lewandowski did not pass the ball back to his own half, but kicked it directly to Hazard.

The Belgian dribbled forward and wanted to pass the ball back to Lewandowski, but the opponent's defender Ledley King kicked the ball out.

Aaron Ramsey came from the back row, received the ball, used his speed to successfully break through between Palacios and Huddlestone.

After breaking through two Tottenham midfielders, the Welshman continued to dribble forward along the left-center rib area.

Lewandowski and others in front were all cooperating with Aaron Ramsey to pull away the defensive players for him.

At the front of Tottenham's penalty area, Aaron Ramsey faced Ledley King's defense. He first made a clever emergency stop, then suddenly started, dribbling the ball past Ledley King and into the left side of the penalty area.

As soon as he entered the penalty area, Ledley King's defensive movements were restrained.

Aaron Ramsey seized this godsend opportunity and shot decisively with his left foot.

The powerful shot once again broke through the goal guarded by Gomez and scored another goal for Bayswater Chinese.

2 is better than 1!

The first half also ended with this score.

But after the change of sides in the second half, the Chinese in Bayswater continued to put pressure and created continuous shooting opportunities.

In the 53rd minute, after a series of passes and cuts in the midfield, Tottenham's defense was constantly stretched.

Piszczek made a long pass from behind the ball outside the 30-meter area of ​​Tottenham. Walcott moved forward at an extremely fast speed, shook off Tottenham's left-back Hector, and successfully made an offside.

On the right side of the penalty area, Walcott received the ball and had a one-on-one opportunity. He dribbled into the penalty area and faced the attacking goalkeeper Gomez. He calmly shot the ball into the Tottenham goal.

3 is better than 1!

Just 6 minutes later, there was still cooperation from the right.

After Walcott retreated to receive the ball, he passed the ball behind his back under the close defense of Hector before falling to the ground. Piszczek quickly moved forward and passed a low ball to the middle from the right side outside the penalty area.

Lewandowski calmly shot the ball into Tottenham's goal.

The Polish center forward scored twice.

4 is better than 1!

But before the Chinese in Bayswater had time to be happy, Walcott fell to the ground.

The little tiger lay flat on the grass, waiting for the team medical team to come in.

He must have been injured when he was fighting with Hector just now.

Yang Cheng had no choice but to make the first substitution.

Di Maria came on and replaced Walcott.

Just 7 minutes into the game, Aaron Ramsey made a through ball, helping Di Maria get a one-on-one opportunity.

It's a pity that the Argentine had just come on the field and had not yet fully released his form. His shot hit the post and went out of the bottom line.

Before the end of the game, Bayswater Chinese had another chance to fight back with more people against fewer.

Unfortunately, there was a mistake in the pass when the players were cooperating. Lewandowski stopped the ball too far and was saved by the goalkeeper Gomez.

The Polish center missed a great chance to score a hat trick.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 at home with Lewandowski's two goals.

……

"Looking at this situation, Walcott will be injured for at least a while!"

At the end of the game, in the stands of Wembley Stadium, Andy Carroll was watching this London derby accompanied by his agent Mark Curtis.

Bayswater Chinese beat Tottenham 4-1 at home.

But what really made them happy was Walcott's injury.

Getting injured in a cold winter game is never easy.

The injury to the little tiger has made the forward line of Bayswater Chinese even more critical.

"He received so much praise when he sent Lambert away, but now he's suffering!" Mark Curtis said sarcastically.

On the contrary, Andy Carroll still had a serious look on his face.

After all, he was young and had never experienced anything like this.

But since his parents and agent agreed, he had nothing to say and could only cooperate.

"Don't worry, Andy. Think about it, how many strikers do the Chinese in Bayswater have now?"

Without waiting for Andy Carroll to answer, Mark Curtis spoke first.

"Gareth Bale is injured, Walcott is injured again, Lambert has been sent away, Harry Kane is only 16 years old, and now the only Chinese player left in Bayswater is Lewandowski."

"Di Maria is also injured and Hazard is still very young. How long can they last like this?"

The Chinese in Bayswater are not the only ones suffering from the wave of injuries brought on by extreme weather.

Almost the entire Premier League is facing the pressure of injuries.

For example, at Tottenham, Bassong and Robbie Keane were both absent due to injuries.

"You're right to listen to me. Leave Bayswater Chinese now and go to Chelsea. You can get better development opportunities and even become a top star like Drogba, with a weekly salary of up to 9 pounds."

The weight and status of a player in the club can be seen from how much money the club is willing to pay.

Andy Carroll also believes that a team like Chelsea would never blindly offer him such a salary.

The fact is, the Blues are very optimistic about him!

In contrast, the Chinese in Bayswater are paid pitifully little!
Of course, when he joined Bayswater Chinese from Newcastle, the contract made him very satisfied.

But compared with Chelsea's contract, it's too different.

Even though it was only half a year.

But the Andy Carroll six months ago is completely different from the Andy Carroll six months later.

"Let's take a step back and say that even if we don't get to Chelsea in the end, think about it, given the current situation of the Chinese in Bayswater, if they keep us, we will have enough confidence to talk to them."

"A more lucrative contract and more playing time."

"I believe, Andy, you are definitely better than that Pole!"

When Andy Carroll mentioned Lewandowski, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

He thinks so too!

He is no worse than Lewandowski. Why does Yang Cheng trust Lewandowski so much?

Why does he come on the field just to compete for headers and create scoring opportunities for Lewandowski?

He is obviously an England international and a local player, how could he be worse than a Pole?

"Let's go, Andy, Yang Cheng asked me to meet him!"

Carroll said nothing, stood up and left Wembley Stadium with his agent.

He did not plan to go to Brent, but went straight back to his rented house to rest and wait for news from his agent.

……

The distance from Wembley Stadium to Brent Training Center is actually very close.

It is only 4 kilometers by car.

But since it was after the game, the roads were crowded.

In addition, many fans who drive themselves will follow the team bus all the way to Brent, causing traffic congestion.

Mark Curtis, along with Andy Carroll, had a bite to eat at Brent Cross before driving to the Brent Training Centre alone.

By this time, it was already dark.

In winter, it always gets dark earlier.

But the lights were still on at the Brent Training Center.

Everyone only saw the 90 minutes of the game, but outside the game, hundreds of people in the club were busy.

Mark Curtis is no stranger to this kind of situation.

After saying something to the security guard at the door, he drove directly into the training center and parked in the ground parking lot.

The Bayswater Chinese training center has an underground parking lot, but only players, coaches and other internal personnel can park there.

As soon as I got off the car and walked in, a staff member came to greet me.

After informing his name and appointment, he was taken to a small, bright meeting room.

"Boss and the others are in a meeting, please wait here for a moment."

Mark Curtis didn't care either.

Just as he was about to sit down, his phone rang.

People who do business like theirs receive a lot of calls.

There were calls from players, coaches, and even many familiar media reporters.

Otherwise, where would all the intelligence come from?

This time the caller happened to be a reporter from a media outlet, who brought him a piece of news.

It has just been confirmed that Bayswater Chinese spent £150 million to sign a 23-year-old French center forward from French Ligue Tours.

Olivier Giroud!
As soon as Mark Curtis heard the name, his brows immediately frowned.

Never heard of it at all.

"What's the story?" Mark Curtis asked.

He instinctively sensed a hint of threat.

"Our newspaper has specifically checked and found that the top scorer in the French Ligue 2 is also the best performing player in the French Ligue 2 so far this season."

"So far, he has never played for any level of the French national team, nor has he played for some strong teams. In fact, no one has even heard of this person before."

After hearing this, Mark Curtis immediately relaxed his vigilance.

How could such a number one figure threaten the current Andy Carroll?
"Are you sure it's only 150 million pounds?" Mark Curtis asked again.

"It's absolutely true. Tours is a small team. When they signed Oliver Giroud in 08, they only spent 15 euros. Now they have made more than ten times the profit. How can it be false?"

“How strong is this player?”

"I don't know. We are contacting our counterparts in France, but several major newspapers are not familiar with him. We only know that he is quite tall, 1 meters, left-footed, and a center forward. We don't know anything else."

"Yeah." Mark Curtis nodded.

On the football field, if even the media reporters are not clear about it, it just proves that the player does not have much strength.

Of course, it may also be that small teams are not attractive and media reporters don’t pay attention to them at all.

But anyway, it really doesn't pose a threat.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you. I'll treat you to a meal later!"

After hanging up the phone, Mark Curtis sneered in his heart.

Yang Cheng, ah Yang Cheng, is this your trick?
Want to put pressure on others by signing this kind of rubbish?

Even if it is, you should at least find a more reliable player, right?
For example, Suarez from Ajax, or Aguero from Atletico Madrid, and David Villa from Valencia, so we would be more threatening.

Find an unknown little guy and say he can threaten Andy Carroll?

Although Yang Cheng is well-known, Mark Curtis is Sam Allardyce's agent. Having been influenced by him, he never believes in Yang Cheng's so-called ability to judge people.

These are all fabricated lies to scare people!

Only when you have the money and contract in your hands can you feel safe and secure!

……

Yang Cheng is a very punctual person.

He entered the meeting room at the agreed time.

In fact, Mark Curtis only waited for less than 5 minutes.

We also made several phone calls in between.

He was accompanied in by Chief Talent Officer Mike Rigg and Assistant Coach Brian Kidd.

The only thing missing is director of football Dan Ashworth.

This made Mark Curtis think of the Frenchman.

Dan Ashworth is probably still in France and hasn't had time to come back.

After all, it's already the night of the 30th.

There is only one day left until the transfer market closes.

Although it is a signing of an unknown little person, the necessary procedures must be completed and the necessary processes must be followed.

It's still quite troublesome.

Mark Curtis' mind raced, but he did not show it on the surface, still looking arrogant.

He took the initiative in this transfer!

No matter whether he goes or not, he won't lose anything anyway!

Yang Cheng didn't care. After sitting down with Mike Rigg and Brian Kidd, he looked deeply at Mark Curtis in front of him.

I have to say, he really hates his agent.

Especially a dumb and stupid agent like Mark Curtis!
Of course, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

Some people have a long-term vision, while others are more short-sighted.

"Mark, I asked you to come here today mainly to talk about Andy Carroll."

Mike Rigg spoke first and stated his intentions.

Mark Curtis laughed after hearing this and said, "I know."

As he said this, he looked at Yang Cheng with a smile, "Mr. Yang, Andy and I respect you very much, and you Chinese people in Bayswater. It's not what we wanted for things to turn out like this."

"The Chinese fans outside Bayswater kept scolding my players, and the media rarely showed any kindness. This made Andy feel very sad. He didn't deserve such harsh treatment!"

"We are very disappointed with the Chinese in Bayswater's behavior!"

Mike Rigg became angry when he heard this.

It was clearly the agent who instigated the player to transfer, but then it becomes the player's fault and not the club's?

As expected, the agent is really good at speaking!
"What's happening outside has nothing to do with our club. We don't know how the news leaked out, and we are not interested in knowing. We will never use such means on our players!"

Mike Rigg spoke openly and confidently.

This was certainly not revealed by the Chinese in Bayswater.

Mark Curtis certainly didn't believe it.

Mike Rigg wanted to say something, but Yang Cheng reached out and tapped the table lightly.

The chief talent officer paused.

Mark Curtis also felt that the air seemed to become tense.

After all, he is a world-famous coach and the boss of Bayswater Chinese. He still has this aura!

"Mark, I haven't had much dealings with you."

Yang Cheng's words surprised Mark Curtis. He thought that Yang Cheng wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he was about to take over the conversation.

But unexpectedly, Yang Cheng did not give him such an opportunity and immediately changed the subject.

"But please understand, we just played a game this afternoon and our upcoming schedule is very tight. My colleagues and I have very valuable time, so I don't intend to waste even one minute on you and Andy Carroll."

These sharp and rude words made Mark Curtis pause.

What do you mean?
"Isn't Andy Carroll going to transfer?" Mark Curtis nodded mechanically, but still didn't understand Yang Cheng's intention.

"Very good, then let's be straightforward. I'll make an offer, and you go find a club. If you can find a club that's willing to pay for him, you can take him away. From now on, we Chinese in Bayswater won't want any of your players!"

Yang Cheng said it with absolute certainty.

This made Mark Curtis feel a little uneasy.

He has had arguments with many head coaches, football directors or club executives, but no head coach has ever said such things to him.

Even though these people were mad at him in their hearts, they still tried to be friendly to him on the surface.

We are all in the same circle, who can guarantee that there will be no involvement in the future?

But Yang Cheng has now made his words completely final!

"Don't waste your time, and don't guess. I'll tell you directly that our asking price is 4000 million pounds!"

"4000 million pounds? Are you crazy?"

Mark Curtis jumped up on the spot, "Why don't you rob a bank?"

"Isn't it better for me to make money now than to rob a bank? In half a year, I signed a player for 300 million pounds and sold him for 4000 million pounds. Tell me, which bank in the world makes as much money as I do?"

Mark Curtis was speechless.

He clearly felt something was wrong, but he really couldn't refute it.

"Don't think it's expensive, this is my price. I won't sell it for a penny less!"

Yang Cheng's words were particularly harsh and would not tolerate any questioning.

If he was just a head coach or a senior executive of the club, these words would not scare Mark Curtis.

But he is the head coach and the boss, and what he says is like an imperial decree to the Chinese in Bayswater!

For the first time, Mark Curtis realized that he seemed to have made some mistake.

He hadn't had time to think about exactly where he had gone wrong.

"This is the first thing I want to tell you. When you find the money, you can take the person away!"

Mark Curtis was a little afraid to look directly at the aggressive Yang Cheng.

"The second thing is that I am now officially informing you on behalf of our Bayswater Chinese that Andy Carroll has been absent from training without reason and has violated the club's relevant regulations. From now on, we will impose an internal ban on him!"

"That is to say, from now on, as long as I am the head coach of Bayswater Chinese and the owner of the club, he will not be able to play for even 1 minute. If he dares to miss training without reason again, I will punish him according to the team's internal regulations!"

"So, I advise you to persuade him to come back for training, but he is under contract, so don't even think about playing in the game!"

Having said that, Yang Cheng also stood up from his seat.

Mike Rigg and Brian Kidd on both sides also stood up to cheer Yang Cheng.

Both of them looked excited.

It’s so fucking satisfying!

"Don't you want to play? I'll play with you. There are still 4 and a half years left on the contract. Let's play slowly!"

"It's just 300 million pounds, right? I can afford it!"

"That's all I want to say, get out of here!"

After saying that, Yang Cheng turned around and left without any courtesy.

Mike Rigg and Brian Kidd followed suit.

Mark Curtis was left standing there alone, feeling confused and a little shaky.

He found that he had underestimated Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater.

Isn't it rumored in the industry that this club can buy players as long as they pay enough money?
Why are you so tough now?

Mark Curtis suddenly realized something extremely terrifying.

This made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

……

"No, absolutely not. How can I go back when you've made such a fuss?"

At Andy Carroll's house, the situation changed completely when he heard Mark Curtis' words, and considering that Olivier Giroud had already confirmed his transfer to Bayswater Chinese.

"I told you, Mark, Yang Cheng is the god of the Chinese in Bayswater. If he says that, I will be banned to death by him. I am only 20 years old. If I lack playing time for a long time, I will be useless!"

Andy Carroll was also completely anxious.

This concerns his future!

Even his parents and family members became anxious.

"Mark, you said at the beginning that there would be no problem. Now that things have turned out like this, what should we do?" Carol's father asked harshly.

Mark Curtis was also very confused and he really didn't know how to deal with it.

"We shouldn't have listened to him in the beginning. He had just joined the team for half a year and now this happened. What would other clubs think? A bright future was ruined." Carol's mother cried in anxiety.

Carol's father stared at Mark Curtis with his eyes like lightning, "Mark, you should contact Chelsea right now and see what they are thinking now. You promised that Chelsea would sign Andy no matter what."

"Now, the Chinese in Bayswater have made their conditions, and you have to convince Chelsea!"

At this point, Carol's father also got angry, "Andy is about to join the national team. At this critical juncture, there must be no mistakes. I don't care what method you use, you must get the transfer for me."

"If my son's future is ruined, just wait and see who will dare to hire you as their manager in the future!"

Mark Curtis had already thought of this when he was at the Brent Training Center.

Is Yang Cheng just punishing Andy Carroll?
No, it's also revenge on Mark Curtis.

What has happened now will definitely be reported in all major newspapers tomorrow.

The Chinese in Bayswater don't need to disclose the information deliberately. There will always be some insiders who will secretly disclose it to the media reporters. By that time, will Mark Curtis still be able to survive in the British football world?

Want to save your career as an agent?

Yes, as long as he finds the right team willing to pay for Andy Carroll.

He is certainly notorious, but at least his abilities are still there.

As for agents, which one of them doesn’t bear the stigma?
But if he doesn't handle it well, his career as an agent might be over.

Thinking of this, Mark Curtis wanted to slap himself twice.

Why were you so obsessed with money before and didn't take the Chinese in Bayswater seriously?
At the same time, he also crossed the line!
After all, he underestimated his opponent.

Now, he has been completely pushed to the edge of the cliff.

No choice!

Besides, he didn't have time.

Andy Carroll's move must be finalised before the transfer market closes.

……

Ron Gourlay was at Stamford Bridge when he received a call from Mark Curtis.

Chelsea's game is at 5:30pm.

Away challenge to Burnley.

In the end, thanks to goals from Anelka and Terry, they defeated Burnley 2-1.

This made everyone at Chelsea breathe a sigh of relief.

So, Ron Gourlay was in a good mood.

When Mark Curtis said he wanted to come over, Gurley didn't stop him.

Soon, the two met in the CEO's office at Stamford Bridge.

When Mark Curtis picked out and told him everything about his meeting with Yang Cheng, Ron Gourlay slammed his desk on the spot.

"Is he crazy? £4000 million?"

After that, Ron Gourlay waved his hands again and again, "We at Chelsea can't possibly pay such a high transfer fee for Andy Carroll. You should know that Ajax's asking price for Luis Suarez is only 3000 million euros."

"Atletico Madrid's offer for Aguero is about the same amount."

"Do you think we would pay such a high transfer fee for Andy Carroll?"

Ron Gourlay really wanted to say, are we stupid, or are you crazy?

Mark Curtis did not tell anyone about Yang Cheng's threat to ban Andy Carroll, because he knew that once this matter was made known, Chelsea would probably be even more reluctant to intervene.

It is very common for clubs to intrigue with each other and compete for players.

Once something goes wrong, the players or their agents are always blamed.

On the surface, the club is still all about you, me, and everyone else.

For example, when Real Madrid poached Figo from Barcelona, ​​wasn’t it the agent who took the blame?
When Chelsea tried to recruit Ashley Cole, wasn't it also because of Arsenal's anger that his agent was banned?

But smart agents often know where the bottom line is and must not cross it.

Mark Curtis accidentally crossed the line this time.

Because he underestimated the Chinese in Bayswater and also underestimated Yang Cheng.

But now, there is no regret medicine to take.

The most important thing is to think about how to solve this problem first.

Andy Carroll must move to Chelsea!

But Ron Gourlay was very determined that Chelsea would never pay the money.

"We are not fools. We can't just say, 'We'll give them whatever they want. Do they really think we are idiots?'"

Mark Curtis also begged desperately, and his lips were almost worn out.

But Ron Gourlay still said that Chelsea would offer a maximum of £2500 million.

There can’t be any more!

£4000?
"Let Yang Cheng rob a bank!"

After hearing this, Mark Curtis almost cried.

I let him grab it!

But he said that he made less money from robbing a bank than from selling Andy Carroll!

"Mr. Gourlay, we really don't have time. Why don't you go and ask Mr. Abramovich again? Andy Carroll really wants to join Chelsea. You want him too, don't you?"

"It's just 1500 million pounds. It's a drop in the bucket for him!"

Ron Gourlay looked at Mark Curtis like he was a fool.

He even doubted how such a guy could survive in English football.
Abramovich is rich, but does being rich mean he should be treated like a fool?

"Mark, I don't know what exactly you negotiated with the Chinese in Bayswater, but I can tell you with certainty that we can't meet the demands of the Chinese in Bayswater unconditionally."

After Ron Gourlay finished speaking, he stood up from his chair and was about to leave.

Mark Curtis is really anxious!

If Ron Gourlay walks out of this office, if Andy Carroll cannot successfully transfer to Chelsea before midnight on February 2, then he will be in trouble!
When he thought of this, Mark Curtis's already confused emotions became completely out of control.

The British agent also got angry and slammed the desk in front of him, scaring Ron Gourlay.

"Well, since you don't have moral principles, don't blame me for not being polite!"

Ron Gourlay frowned immediately, "Mark, what do you mean?"

"It's meaningless. I'm just a small agent. I don't have any big skills, but I'm also played around by you big teams. You really push me into a corner. No one can get away with it!"

"Are you threatening me?" Ron Gourlay also spoke in a bad tone.

"It's not a threat, but I'm desperate now. If there is really no other way, I can only go to Bayswater Chinese or the media and tell them the whole story of Andy Carroll's transfer from beginning to end. I believe they will be very interested."

Mark Curtis pulled out all his last cards and became very angry.

"I don't care. At worst I'll just quit being a football agent. As for any other consequences, I don't care about them anyway!"

"But I heard that UEFA and FIFA have regulations on what the punishment is for illegal contact with players? What is the punishment for you instigating us to make a transfer?"

Transfer prohibited!

How long the ban lasts depends on how serious the matter is.

If it really becomes a big deal, Chelsea will definitely suffer.

With the fierce competition in the Premier League now, once the transfer ban is imposed, it won’t take long for Chelsea to suffer heavy losses in both the summer and winter transfer periods!

Not to mention, this is the lightest level, and the youth team players’ levels are much higher than this.

If the Chinese in Bayswater had exerted more pressure, Chelsea would have been in even worse shape.

"What evidence did you hide secretly?" Ron Gourlay felt a little guilty.

If the fight really gets out of hand, he, as the CEO, will be the first one to be pushed out by Chelsea to take the blame!

From now on, he will not be involved in European football.

Even other industries will be affected as well.

"Don't worry about what I'm hiding. In a nutshell, if Andy Carroll can join Chelsea before the transfer market closes, everything will be fine. Otherwise..."

Mark Curtis didn't finish his harsh words. Instead, he glared at Ron Gourlay fiercely and turned away.

The little agent didn't know where he got the courage from.

It was a freezing winter with temperatures below zero, and when he walked out of the Stamford Bridge office, his entire back was soaked.

Ron Gourlay stood there in a daze.

As smart as he is, he has been thinking over and over again, which link went wrong that allowed Mark Curtis to catch him?
But he never found it.

At this moment, he really regretted it.

I should have brought in a counsel lawyer from the beginning.

In this way, you will have a better idea of ​​what you can do and what you can say.

But I forgot about it at that time because I wanted to keep it secret.

He even had some doubts as to whether Mark Curtis really had the so-called evidence.

If there is no substantial evidence and it is just a fuss in the media, it will not have much impact on Chelsea.

Anyway, the whole world knows now that Chelsea is interested in Andy Carroll.

Contacting the agent privately is actually not a big problem.

The premise is that no substantial evidence can be found.

Chelsea has done this kind of illegal things many times in the past few years.

Why did they pay such a high compensation to Manchester United when Mikel was transferred?
Why did Frank Arnesen's move from Tottenham cause such a stir?

Why was there such a stir when Ashley Cole moved from Arsenal?

Why was agent Jonathan Barnett banned?
Others may not know, but Ron Gourlay knows it very well.

Ultimately, it’s because of a lack of awareness of rules.

Thinking of this, Ron Gourlay didn't care about anything else. He immediately took out his mobile phone and called Abramovich.

……

Knightsbridge.

Abramovich put down the phone helplessly.

The good mood brought by the team's away victory over Burnley was completely wiped out.

Then, he smashed the Nokia flagship phone in his hand with great force, and actually smashed the phone, which was known for its durability, into pieces.

"They are all a bunch of fucking losers!"

Abramovich was rarely so angry that he started to curse.

4000 million pounds to buy a player who was only sold for 300 million pounds half a year ago?

If this gets out, fans and reporters all over the world will laugh their heads off!

Do I have too much money?
Sometimes Abramovich really wants to pry open the heads of these idiots under his control to see if there is straw inside?
Peter Kenyon was hired from Manchester United at a huge price. He made a promise himself that he would lead Chelsea to generate revenue in three years and achieve profitability in five years.

But the result?

What a profit!
As soon as I stop spending money, the team's performance immediately plummets!
When I was still doing internal management, I caused a lot of trouble.

Now, Peter Kenyon is gone and Ron Gourlay is in, also a fool!

I was actually played by a small agent!

Everyone in European football knows that agents are the white gloves of the club.

Fight to the death, let the agent rush forward.

Something went wrong?

The club withdrew gracefully and the agent took the blame.

Isn't this what happened with Ashley Cole?

Now Ron Gourlay has been forced out by Mark Curtis!
This little agent is so cruel that he actually dares to force Chelsea?

Is he tired of living?

If it were in Russia, I would have plenty of ways to kill him!
But after calming down, Abramovich had to face a cruel reality.

Pay for it?

Or take a gamble?
Abramovich thought about it all night, but he couldn't come up with any good ideas.

The next morning, he called Pini Zahavi, Peter de Visser and others to his yacht at Canary Wharf.

Plus Ron Gourlay and Marina Granovskaia.

When everyone came, they all noticed the red bloodshot in Abramovich's eyes.

When Ron Gourlay told Mark Curtis what he had said, Pini Zahavi kept his head down and said nothing.

This cunning agent has some serious conflicts with Mark Curtis.

Lewandowski is his player.

Pete Devisser shook his head and sighed, "Ron and Marina have crossed the line in this matter!"

This kind of gives the whole thing a certainty.

Chelsea cannot escape blame.

"If I'm not mistaken, Mark Curtis must have been under pressure from the Chinese in Bayswater. He probably angered Yang Cheng, and then was defeated by Yang Cheng. He was left with nowhere to go. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so brave!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

What Pete DeVisser said was reasonable.

"There are two ways to solve this problem now."

When Abramovich heard this, he immediately nodded at Pete DeWeiser and said, "You go ahead."

"One is to find the Chinese in Bayswater to reconcile, buy the player, and discuss the transfer fee. Our two clubs have cooperation in many areas. I believe that it can still be discussed."

This is also the norm in European football.

I don’t know how many transfers are negotiated every year.

"But in this way, we will inevitably be inferior to them. After all, we are asking for help from others."

At this point, Pete DeVisser sighed softly again.

"The second option is that we don't get involved and let the agent do the work. We paid £4000 million and we will calm things down as soon as possible before public opinion gets heated up. Nothing will happen."

"People outside would say that we, Chelsea, were taken advantage of and spent too much money."

"Once the player is transferred, it's a done deal and everything that happened before is null and void."

Having said that, Pete DeVisser looked deeply at Abramovich, Ron Gourlay and others.

"No matter which one you choose, after this incident, the club's compliance must be put on the agenda."

"I heard that the Chinese at Bayswater take compliance very seriously. They even have a dedicated legal department at their headquarters, and they assist with every decision and negotiation made by the club."

"Not to mention things like transfers and poaching."

This is a consensus in modern management enterprises.

But in European football, it is rarely seen.

This is still a wild world!
