It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 320: Golden Invincible Universe Armstrong Spiral Ascension Fair Cat
On January 3th, Chelsea visited Everton and won 1:.

Four days later, Chelsea continued to play away, this time their opponent was the Black Cats Sunderland. In the end, Chelsea won again 4:2, with Charles scoring with an assist.

At the same time, the Premier League transfer window officially closed.

In this winter window, there were also some very important signings.

Manchester United bought Lindegaard, who looks very similar to Lin Huang, but he is actually a goalkeeper.

Liverpool also had their own major signings, spending 2280 million on Suarez and 3500 million on Carroll.

The reason why they were able to spend so much money to buy two forwards at once was because Chelsea used its money power to buy Torres from Liverpool for 5000 million pounds.

The transfer fee of these two forwards is approximately equal to Torres'.

In addition to Torres, Chelsea also bought a defender from Benfica, David Ruiz, for half the price of Torres.

Charles had already met all three of these people, and they were all easy to get along with.

However, although Torres is at Chelsea, he said he would never celebrate against Liverpool.

Charles felt that this was nothing. If he really celebrated, or even slid on his knees from a long distance, such players were the ones who should be despised the most.

As for why Ancelotti chose to sign Torres, perhaps it was because Drogba had always wanted to return to his old club.

It is estimated that Drogba will leave Chelsea in one or two years.

When people have enough wealth, what they pursue will change.

Drogba is not short of money now, and what he probably wants is to satisfy the Marseille fans who have always been obsessed with him.

In addition to the three clubs, Arsenal also made relative reinforcements and bought a shadow striker Ryo Miyaichi from the Chukyo High School Club affiliated to Chukyo University through a free transfer.

However, we will not be able to see him in the Premier League for the time being because he has been loaned out like seven other Arsenal players.

February 5th.

"Decoration platform, decoration second child, you are now watching the 26th round of the Premier League, Chelsea will face Liverpool at home."

"This round of matches is also the focus of the Premier League."

"Liverpool just changed its coach not long ago. Under the leadership of the new coach, Liverpool has won three consecutive games and has now escaped the shadow of the relegation zone."

"In the last ten games Liverpool played at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool only won one game, so this game is a very severe test for Liverpool."

"This game is also the first game that Torres, who has just become the most expensive transfer target in the Premier League this season, will start against his former club. He will form a trident with Charles and Drogba at Chelsea."

"Joe Cole, who once played for Chelsea, also missed this game again due to a knee injury."

"Poulsen was on the bench due to back spasms, and Liverpool's latest signing Suarez also got the starting position in this game."

"Here are the match rosters for both teams:"

“切尔西(4-3-3)：1-切赫/17-博辛瓦、26-特里、2-伊万诺维奇、3-阿什利·科尔/8-兰帕德、5-埃辛、37-拉米雷斯/11-德罗巴、9-托雷斯、7-夏尔。”

“利物浦队（3-4-2-1）：25-雷纳/23-卡拉格、37-斯科特尔、5-阿格/24-凯利、2-格伦-约翰逊、21-卢卡斯、4-梅雷莱斯/8-杰拉德、17-马克西-罗德里格斯/7-苏亚雷斯。”

"Chelsea have continued to spend lavishly in this winter transfer window."

"A striker and a defender cost 7500 million euros, but compared to Chelsea's extravagance in the summer, this amount of money is not so surprising. At present, the highest transfer fee in the history of the Premier League still belongs to Charlton with a transfer fee of 1.2 million euros."

"According to British media reports, Torres' weekly salary at Chelsea is as high as 20 pounds, and some say it is 17.5 pounds, which is much higher than his original 11 pounds."

"Chelsea spent £1m on Torres in terms of transfer fee and contract salary alone."

"According to British media The Sun, Chelsea's salary expenses will rise again after signing Torres and David Ruiz, just like Charlton's sky-high transfer fee, and it is expected to become a new record that is difficult to break in the Premier League."

"At present, The Sun has not obtained the exact salary expenditure statistics. It only has a salary expenditure statistics before Torres and David Ruiz joined. This data shows that Chelsea's total salary in 2010 was as high as 2 million pounds, making it the club with the highest salary expenditure in the Premier League."

"At the same time, The Sun also calculated the salary expenses of the other three Premier League clubs: Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City."

"Manchester City's salary expenditure ranks second in the Premier League, second only to Chelsea. In 2010, the total salary was 1.33 million pounds, but it was nearly 7000 million pounds less than Chelsea's million pounds."

"Manchester United ranked third in the 2010 wage bill, £100 million less than their city rivals Manchester City, with a wage bill of £1.32 million, £8000 million less than Chelsea."

"Although Arsenal invested less in the transfer market, their total wages in 2010 also broke the 1 million pounds mark, reaching 1.1 million pounds, ranking fourth in the Premier League. They are 9000 million pounds less than Chelsea."

"Among them, Chelsea has not officially announced Charles' salary, but according to the salary of Torres and others, it is estimated that Charles' salary is 2000 million. Of course, only the parties involved can determine the exact amount."

"Chelsea's next big expense was releasing Scolari, but that also cost £1260m."

"Chelsea can pay its players so high salaries, in addition to Abramovich's willingness to invest, another very important point is that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the abolition of the salary cap in English football."

"In 1901, the maximum weekly wage a professional footballer could receive was £4."

"In 1905, a player was worth £1000. At that time, Middlesbrough took a fancy to Alf Common. In order to get him, Middlesbrough paid Sunderland £1000. Now it seems very little, even ridiculously little, but at that time, it was a sky-high price."

"But seven years later, the first £10,000 player was born."

"David Jack was the first player to be worth £8 and was on £416 a week, but he didn't earn £6 a year because he was only paid £ a week in the summer.

"At that time, the loyalty bonus was also born, as long as a player stayed in the same team for more than five years, he could get a reward of £5."

"In 1947, the salary cap was raised again, but not by much, to just £8 in the summer and £12 the rest of the year."

"Johnny Haynes was the first player to earn £100 a week."

"Forty years after the first £40 player was born, and in the second year after the salary cap was abolished, Manchester United spent £11 to sign Denis Law from Torino."

"Eighteen years later, in 1979, Nottingham Forest signed Trevor Francis from Birmingham for a record transfer fee of £100 million; Hilton, who signed a new contract with Forest, became the highest-paid player in the UK, with a weekly salary of £1200."

"As football becomes more and more standardized, the value of players is increasing faster and faster."

"In 1988, Tottenham spent £200 million to bring Gascoigne from Newcastle United, once again breaking the transfer fee record in British football."

"Just six years later, Chris Sutton became the highest-paid player in the Premier League when he moved to Blackburn Rovers, earning £10,000 a week."

"In 1995, the Bosman Act was introduced and restrictions on foreign athletes were repealed, allowing English football to develop further."

"Five years later, Manchester United captain Roy Keane became the first player to earn more than £5 a week. After successfully renewing his contract with Manchester United, his weekly salary reached £5.2." "Just a year later, Campbell became the first Premier League player to earn £10 a week after moving from Tottenham to Arsenal."

"In the same year, Manchester United signed centre-back Rio Ferdinand from Leeds United for £3000 million, once again setting a new Premier League transfer record."

"And just last year, in 2010, when Charles moved to Chelsea, although his salary was not announced, almost all media judged that his salary exceeded Tevez's, making him the first Premier League player to earn £100 million a month."

"It is said that he can earn £28.6 a week at the club."

"However, after Rooney successfully renewed his contract with Manchester United, some British media reported that his salary reached 32 pounds a week."

“However, it is currently recognised as the highest paid player in the Premier League, with some media speculating that Charles’ weekly salary is as high as £40.”

Chelsea dressing room before the game.

Ancelotti has gone to the pre-match press conference.

Chelsea's players were all chatting and very relaxed.

Torres joined Chelsea a few hours before the transfer window closed, so he hasn't been there for long.

All in all it took less than a week.

However, since we are old acquaintances, there is no obstacle in getting along with each other.

Neymar was holding a book and studying it carefully. "Charles, why do you think the fish would jump onto the shore when they are fine in the water?"

"What are you reading?" Charles was sitting in his seat, trimming his nails.

"I was reading a textbook on early childhood education, and it said that everything evolved step by step from a few cells, and humans evolved from fish."

Neymar said.

"I know the air on shore was sweeter then!"

Terry stood up from his seat and began to imitate the posture of a fish jumping out of the water.

"Hey, Terry, do you think you could speed up the evolution process if you turned into a fish?"

"That's definitely impossible. Not to mention that fish only have seven seconds in their memory, even if it's more than seven seconds, as long as it's a fish named Terry, it will definitely only think about picking up other fish, not evolving!"

As soon as Kerr finished speaking, the entire locker room erupted in thunderous laughter.

Terry, who was still playing the role of a fish in the water, swam towards Cole with his teeth bared and claws bared. "Aww - you damn bad guy, you dare to slander the first fish I evolved, the ancestor of mankind, I will eat you now!"

"I'm so scared—"

"Hahaha--"

Neymar continued to flip through the book, "I think we can let Charles be the fish."

"Why?" Charles asked with a smile.

He felt that whether being a fish or promoting evolution was too far-fetched for him.

It’s like they are still human beings, but can people who grew up in the tribal period perfectly adapt to and integrate into modern society?

Just like when using some smartphones, some elderly people often encounter various small problems that they cannot solve.

People in primitive tribes may find it difficult to understand even basic hygiene issues.

Humans are, after all, social animals.

Neymar turned the book over and pointed to a picture on it for everyone to see. "It takes 5 million years for humans to become fish. There is no way to play football in million years. I think you will go crazy, Charles."

"Maybe just like this, the evolution has been completed ahead of time?"

Charles didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

"But a fish can't live that long."

Cole jumped up suddenly, "I know. We can let Terry become a fish with you, because his memory is only seven seconds. In this way, you will live in his memory forever, and you can complete 5 million years of evolution in advance!"

"Hahaha--"

The visiting team's locker room is not as cheerful and lively as the home team's locker room.

Liverpool's assistant coach walked quickly into the head coach's lounge and then slammed the door shut.

"Kenny, guess what I got?"

Dalglish looked up suddenly and saw dark circles under his eyes.

"What good stuff? Why did you close the door?"

The teaching assistant swallowed his saliva, looked around, and put his index finger on his lips, "Shh - keep your voice down."

Dalglish was also made nervous by his actions and frowned: "What is so mysterious?"

The teaching assistant slowly unbuttoned his suit, and the things he had hidden so well inside finally revealed their true colors.

The teaching assistant carefully placed the object wrapped in white cloth on the table, and then tremblingly untied the cloth under Dalglish's curious gaze.

Finally, the true identity of the thing inside was revealed: a golden lucky cat.

The teaching assistant pressed it a few times, and soon the lucky cat's arms began to move.

Dalglish looked at the assistant coach in confusion.

The assistant coach carefully wiped the golden lucky cat with a white cloth. "This was taken from the head coach of Bolton. It is said that he invited it from Big Sam of Blackburn."

"This cat is called the 'Golden Invincible Universe Armstrong Spiral Ascension Justice Cat'. It is a divine artifact from China."

"What's the use?"

"I heard it can balance luck. When it's full, water overflows. When the moon is full, it loses. Complacency leads to failure. Self-discipline leads to stupidity. In other words, it can balance luck. Chelsea has won so many games. As long as it has it, Chelsea can lose this game."

Does anyone remember which competition this cat is from?
