Chapter 571 Dong Fangzhuo’s Prophecy

"We want to surpass Manchester United. We will definitely win this weekend's game. Chelsea has grand plans, but we must first achieve some small goals, such as buying some good players and building a new stadium."

It’s great to have money!

Teams all over the world must be envious of Chelsea's wealth, getting excellent players, playing great results, changing stadiums? It's not a difficult task. In the eyes of Chelsea CEO Kenyon, these are small goals.

Reuters quoted an interview with Kenyon from a British newspaper. The Chelsea helmsman said that the team will become the world's No. 1 recognized team in 2014. However, the specifications of Stamford Bridge seem to be inconsistent with this title. Nien said the team may move out of the stadium at a later date and find another home.

Kenyon said: "In 2014, if we want to become the world's recognized No. 1 club, we need a bigger stadium, but it will be very expensive."

At the same time, Kenyon also said that the team has a good cooperative relationship with Mourinho, and Mourinho is also a "key" figure in Chelsea's long-term planning. Reports of him leaving the team are untrue.

The Champions League has already qualified, and Chelsea is fully committed to the league title battle with Manchester United. At this time, Kenyon comes out to speak, which is undoubtedly a kind of stability for the team. Although the game did not start, the psychological battle never stopped.

Sooner or later, Chelsea chose to announce their future plans the day before their visit to the Dream Theater. People have reason to believe that this is a means of demonstrating to their opponents.

When asked whether Manchester United represented the past and Chelsea represented the future, Blues chief executive Kenyon burst into laughter and said: "I don't think that can make a headline."

But clearly Chelsea bosses hope to make it a reality in the near future. Their ambition is to build Chelsea into an internationally recognized club as the world's No. 1 club by 2014.

Manchester United is a hurdle the Blues must overcome if they are to realize their ambitions. As the former CEO of Manchester United, Kenyon has a clear understanding of the two clubs.

He said Chelsea is clearly more "motivated" than Manchester United, both as a club and as a brand. But Kenyon emphasized that what he said was not a criticism of Manchester United, but a true reflection of reality.

Of course, he admitted that just using the league championship trophies in the past two seasons is not enough to surpass the traditional force of English football.

"We're not overpowering Manchester United now," he said.

"They have a bigger fan base than we do, they have done more historically than we have. But I think what makes us happy is that our fan base is growing faster than other football clubs and our revenue is growing very quickly. , now level with Manchester United. There are many factors, but the key is the victory the team has achieved."

More trophies will be a key part of measuring whether they are among the top international clubs.

But now, a Champions League championship trophy is still outside Chelsea's honor showroom, and Kenyon obviously realizes the importance of changing this situation: "It's not to underestimate the Premier League, but to be fair, I think winning the Champions League is The biggest thing a European club can achieve, it takes you to a completely different level."

The Chelsea CEO admitted that Manchester United's glorious past has made his club's small achievements worth mentioning.

"Chelsea is a spiritless place, so now is the time for us to start over and create our own glorious tradition from now on."

When Chelsea's eight-year revitalization plan reached the ears of Manchester United coach Ferguson, he was immediately scorned by the Scots: "We are about to be shaken by these words. They are intimidating us."

Sir Alex quipped: "Now is a good time to say this, isn't it? But it won't bother me at all. Remember, I know very well what Peter is like."

Before Abramovich used money to lure him to Stamford Bridge, Kenyon had worked with Ferguson for a long time: "I'm not very sure about the numbers. I don't know whether we have 50 million fans or 500 million fans, but I know one thing. Everywhere we go we see people wearing Manchester United shirts chasing our players and we get those supporters because we entertain them and we will never change that."

Ferguson also hinted that as long as Mourinho is the coach of Chelsea, they will never surpass Manchester United: "I believe that a team's performance on the field faithfully reflects the coach's thinking. We play in our own way, which makes our team better." The work was a success.”

"We'll see who is the winner of the Premier League this weekend."

Dong Fangzhuo also holds the same view. He said in an interview with The Times: "It is impossible to surpass Manchester United. Manchester United will always be Manchester United. Mourinho is very good, but he cannot win every year. The championship, this year’s league championship belongs to Manchester United and no one can take it away from us.”

"Manchester United will only win more and more championships and will not be surpassed by any club. However, while I am still at this club, I and my teammates will not bring disappointment to everyone."

Dong Fangzhuo seems to have been discussing the matter as the captain of Manchester United and chatted with the head coaches of both sides.

"There will no longer be coaches like Ferguson and Wenger who can stay at the club for more than ten or twenty years and build dynasties, and neither can Chelsea. Once Chelsea's performance is not good, I believe the Chelsea boss will fire Mourinho immediately. Oh, if you don’t believe it, let’s wait and see. One day, when Manchester United ascends to the championship, that’s when Mourinho leaves, because this is cruel professional football.”

Dong Fangzhuo's prediction was subsequently reprinted one after another, and finally fell into the ears of Mourinho.

"Is this kid going to destroy the empire I built with his own hands?"

"One day, you will come into my hands and serve me."

Mourinho smiled and said, "However, he is right. Once Manchester United wins, I will definitely leave. Therefore, Chelsea must not lose."

Mourinho admires Dong Fangzhuo very much. Now he is willing to exchange Dong Fangzhuo for Shevchenko plus 20 million, but Manchester United is a bitter rival and cannot poach him.

Maybe in a few years, it will be time to go to Real Madrid, right? This guy will definitely be bought by Real Madrid, but I don’t know if he will still be at Chelsea by then?

He wants to compete with Dong Fangzhuo...
