Mudryk and the ‘dirty game’

The letter Mudryk‘ used by Chelsea has alarmed the English football market. The owners of the London club do not care about the way or ways to snatch from Arsenal the signing of the Ukrainian winger, one of the promises in Europe, where the ‘gunners’ sighed for a long time. Chelsea put together a whole strategic operation, albeit with dark skills that have little to do with football, to convince Shakthar Donetsk and the player to break the verbal agreement that Mudryk he caught up with his rival in London, with whom he had been talking for months.

The desperation and the crisis of results caused unexpected rushes, and unethical practices, in a very hectic market, after the World Cup in Qatar. Liverpool opened it by buying, also in a hurry, the Dutch international Gakpowhere Manchester United and its coach, there is a hagThey are very interested. We are faced with intense economic competition between the big English clubs to strengthen themselves before their rivals with a potential diversity of players, such as Mudrykattackers where the level will increase.

When Mudryk was about to sign and convince Shakhtar to accept Arsenal’s conditions, it was an unusual lightning trip to Antalya, where the Donetsk team was doing the winter phase, which radically changed the course of the operation. The always unclear negotiations between mediators, clubs and players have been highlighted at this time in Chelsea’s movements, due to paying more, improving Arsenal’s payment commitments (70 million and 30 in variables) extended to a very long contract (seven and a half years ), and design an efficient marketing operation that is almost extra-soccer.

An unusual image clause in defense of Ukraine, and to help those affected by the bloody war with Russia, became, in the end, the key to convince Shakthar and also the player. The trip to Turkey of the co-owner of Chelsea, the American Behdad Eghbali, change of destiny is false for Mudryk. The operation carried out by the owners of the ‘blues’ goes beyond football, and uses the context of the war in Russia to put Mudryk as a banner of the Ukrainian cause, playing in Chelsea, and in London.

American owners, English club, Ukraine. The triangle worked, unfortunately for Arsenal. From now on, the unknown knows where the limits are for English football contracts. Pending ‘January window’ moves, most clubs. Some, ready for anything, like Chelsea. And others, betting on financial control and pondering how to invest the income from television, in search of some opportunity, in a rising and highly inflated market.

In some cases, pressure from the fans themselves can lead clubs to attempt disproportionate transfers. This is the case of Everton, who fell this year in the relegation places, with fans blaming the leaders for mismanagement, for not knowing how to sign on time or strengthen the team. A banner at Goodison Park illustrated this week’s social divide: “A football giant owned by a clown. Everything you achieve it comes down to us. Something similar is happening at Tottenham Hotspur, which is also involved in a very bad climate.

Tired of receiving criticism from ‘Spurs’ fans, their coach, the Italian Anthony Conte, asked the board of directors for explanations why it does not strengthen the team to have options to fight for everything: “I have never seen the club or the sports director come here to explain the strategy or the club view. The situation must be explained by the club”. And it is Chelsea’s play, and its massive investment, that has generated some envy among English clubs, but also imbalances, and disrupts well-designed goals.

This is not the case of Arsenal, despite recognizing the wound left by the signing of Mudryk for Chelsea, as this is a blow to their planning for the season. His trainer Arteta He discovered that the rivalry also had foul play. Now, at the moment of truth in the fight for the title, he must decide whether to let himself be swept away by the paradox of buying his west London neighbors, or continue to bet on prudence and what he calls “club discipline”, which is what gives you the best results.
