Chapter 282 The Championship Is Engraved on Chelsea’s Forehead?

"That's not realistic."

When Dong Fangzhuo talked about Feng Xiaoting, Lin Xu flatly rejected Dong Fangzhuo's idea.

"This is simply impossible. You think that if a player is so good, you can buy them out. You are doing a thankless thing and end up making a mess. This is not a matter of one or two players. , let me put it this way, if all the players of the national youth team are purchased by the team, but all the clubs are aggressive, can you still pay for it..."

But Lin Xu did not directly extinguish Dong Fangzhuo's hope, but gave him new advice: "I think you can talk to Teacher Qu Youyuan. As the most authoritative and professional football newspaper in the country, its influence is huge. While this situation has not yet occurred in the club, "Sports Weekly" took the lead in breaking the news and blowing the news, so that other clubs may restrain themselves, and it may also have an impact on Chen Tao joining Anderlecht in the future?"

Dong Fangzhuo scratched his head, thinking that he was a football player after all, and his brain was still not strong enough. Unlike Lin Xu, who always thought about things very carefully and considered all aspects. It is indeed a good way to put pressure on the club through media reports...

Anyway, he couldn't just watch Feng Xiaoting and Chen Tao being buried.

While there is still time, other players may not have time to save themselves before they encounter these situations.

※※※※

Dong Fangzhuo later found Qu Youyuan and talked to him about the matter in detail. Unexpectedly, Qu Youyuan hit it off immediately and immediately wrote an article in the "Sports Weekly" published on Monday - "Accountability - Who is responsible?" Preventing young players from going global? 》

"It is rumored that the German football club Schalke 04 offered Dalian Shide 1 million euros, but Dalian Shide refused to let go of 3 million euros..."

Anyway, that's what it meant. Later, domestic online media reprinted this article one after another. For a time, Dalian Shide Club was immediately at the forefront. Anyway, everyone now believes that the reason why Feng Xiaoting was unable to join Schalke 04 was entirely because the club's lions were open and refused to let Feng Xiaoting go...

There is only so much that Dong Fangzhuo can do for the time being. At present, he can only wait for the direction in which the situation will develop.

And he himself has been at the forefront of the storm in recent days. The English media are still making a fuss about his affairs, including his acting behavior in the Chelsea game, bombarding Atkinson, and whether he can really withstand Manchester United's offensive banner, etc. etc., have become hotly reported topics in the media.

But as the Premier League opener approaches, his news is gradually replaced by other news.

Although they won against Chelsea in the Community Shield,

However, betting companies are still not optimistic about Manchester United's prospects in the Premier League this season. Their winning odds are still behind Chelsea, and even lower than Arsenal.

The Times published an article - repeating the same old story? Yes, the main theme of the Premier League in the 2005-2006 season is likely to remain the blues.

Before the start of last season, many experts predicted that Chelsea would win the championship. To a large extent, they were tired of the North-South confrontation for eight years and tired of other teams such as Adou who could not support them. Instead, they expected the charming Mourinho to break the binary. Monopoly to prevent the tragedy of the Scottish Premiership from happening again in England.

But if you continue to be optimistic about Chelsea this season, it is not an expectation, but a certainty and worry. There is no doubt about Mourinho's personal ability. Chelsea's lineup is stronger than a year ago, while the strength of the two major rivals Manchester United and Arsenal has not increased but declined. What else can stop Chelsea from immediately winning their third title? League trophy?

Mourinho led the team to win the league title in his first season in office, breaking the balance of North-South confrontation for many years. This is a good thing, but Chelsea has almost unlimited resources, and the Premier League may return to Liverpool. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, when one was alone, dictatorship was not necessarily better than dual monopoly.

The Times is quite pessimistic about Arsenal: "With Vieira leaving, the team's lineup aging, and young players unable to take over, Arsenal, led by Henry, still cannot see a future this season. The most direct manifestation is that They will suffer a lot in tough battles, and this season's Champions League trip will test them even more."

As for Manchester United, "The Times" is even less welcoming: "Although Manchester United purchased Vidic, which can strengthen the defense to the maximum extent, Manchester United's midfield and frontcourt are still no different from last season. They are counting on Park Ji-sung to save them. Manchester United? Or do you expect the front three to lead Manchester United to victory for a whole season without Ruud van Nistelrooy? Last season proved everything. If they can hold down Liverpool in third place this season, thank God."

"Manchester United learned a profound lesson last season. If unsatisfactory results in the game lead to concentrated conflicts, Ferguson's future may not be as secure as Glazer said before."

"Last season, Ferguson had hoped that the Western teams would stop Chelsea. However, Everton, Liverpool, Newcastle and Bolton all had their own plans and were afraid to move forward and failed to stop Chelsea. Ironically, Manchester United itself lost points to weak teams. The score is as high as 14, which shows that it is unreliable to expect others to draw chestnuts out of the fire for you."

"If you divide the probability pie of winning the championship, Chelsea easily accounts for half. The odds offered by William Hill are that Chelsea is the favorite, and the odds of Arsenal and Manchester United are three times that of Chelsea, which is only enough to share the rest equally. 90%, Liverpool’s odds are as high as 15 to 1, which is even more negligible.”

The Times also looked ahead to Manchester United's first away game against Everton: "Given Manchester United's away game and Rooney's return, Manchester United is likely to get a draw here."

Finally, The Times also announced the winning odds and top scorer odds from William Hill betting company.

"Dong, you are actually lower than Cisse."

"The guy who wrote this article must have had water in his head. Has the championship been engraved on the forehead of Chelsea people?"

"Chelsea, Chelsea, it's Chelsea every day. Didn't Chelsea just lose to us? What reason do they have to be the favorite?"

"Hey Wayne, why have you been so listless all day?"

"Because I have to go back to Goodison Park..."
