Football giants

Chapter 348

When the Southampton team returned to Southampton, carrying the honor of the first League Cup champion in the club's history, to accept the cheers from the fans of this harbor city, a flight back to London from Naples, Italy seemed lifeless and unspeakably depressed.

This is the plane of Chelsea's expedition to Italy.

When they went there, everyone was full of confidence, but when they came back, they all looked like defeated roosters.

Napoli are sixth in Serie A this season and Chelsea are fifth in the Premier League this season.

Logically speaking, the two teams are pretty much the same.

But the problem is that now the Serie A league has declined, and the Premier League team has always had a certain advantage against the Serie A team, but now, the away game was slaughtered [-]-[-], what is this?
It's a shame!

What a shame!

Not only a disgrace to Chelsea, but also a disgrace to the Premier League!

Captain Terry sat in his seat with a cold face and did not speak.

Lampard sat next to him, equally silent.

The two souls in the team have such expressions, which makes everyone feel a little cold.

Chelsea had an advantage on the scene in this game, with a possession rate of 50.00%, which was enough for Chelsea to take the initiative, but in the link of converting the advantage into a shot, the problem was exposed.

Torres was stared at by Naples players throughout the game. Not only did he not contribute, but he wasted time and time again the chances created by Adam Lallana.

Naples' [-] tactics put Chelsea's midfield in trouble.

The weak midfield defense gave Naples offensive players the opportunity to face the defense line again and again.

If it weren't for Terry and Benatia's outstanding performance, they would definitely not only concede three goals!

They lost [-]-[-] in the away game in the first round. Everyone knows what this means.

In the dead silence, a heavy cough woke up all the players.

I saw the team owner Abramovich leading the crowd into the cabin where the players were.

The Russian was followed by Granovskia and chairman Bruce Barker.

"boss!"

"boss!"

Everyone immediately stood up one by one, including the players.

It's just that the yelling sounded very weak.

The Russian raised his right hand and waved it a few times in the air, trying to say something, but couldn't.

Everyone present could feel his mood at this moment.

He is about to go crazy!
"Can anyone tell me why this is happening?"

Finally, he said it, but his tone was calm instead of the volcanic eruption that others expected.

But there seemed to be a knife hidden in the words, and he wanted to cut through the fog one by one.

"Before the game, everyone said that we can win, but why did we lose so badly instead of winning? Why?"

Abramovich pointed at everyone present, slamming each word with special force.

"tell me why?"

Everyone present remained silent, and many even lowered their heads.

They have a guilty conscience!

Such as Spanish striker Torres!

Since joining Chelsea, he has completely fallen into a downturn just like Shevchenko before him, and he has never been able to regain the invincible scoring momentum he had when he was in Liverpool.

A striker who can't score goals but has a high salary and is worth as much as 6000 million, can he not feel guilty?
The head coach Boas looked at the players. He felt that at this time, as the head coach, he should stand up.

Protecting players is also one of the responsibilities of the head coach.

"Boss, in fact, we still have to go..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Abramovich roared!

"You fucking shut up right now!"

This burst of roar not only frightened all the players in the cabin to raise their heads suddenly, they looked at Abramovich with a twisted and hideous expression in disbelief, and also looked at Boas who was stunned by the roar.

"From now on, you, stop stepping into Cobham and Stamford Bridge, I don't want to see you again!"

Abramovich pointed to Boas and continued to growl.

His voice echoed throughout the cabin.

Boas is very young, but he has been coaching for many years. He was shocked by Abramovich's roar at first, but soon he woke up, turned around and walked out of the cabin without saying a word.

Obviously, the moment the plane landed, that's when he left Chelsea's coaching position!
Everyone was frightened by this sudden change.

Is this going to fire the team's head coach?
It is not surprising that Boas dismissed get out of class. The question is, who will take over the team in the future?

"I'm ashamed of you!"

After Abramovich dropped such a sentence coldly, he turned and walked out.

The Chelsea players who were left in the cabin hadn't completely recovered from the shock just now.

Terry and Lampard were the first to react because they are the soul of the team.

No matter who Abramovich touches, he will not easily touch the two of them.

They also know the problems of the team better than anyone else.

After all, Torres didn't adapt, and it didn't just happen now. It already existed after the transfer in the second half of last season.

But why, during the summer transfer, do everything possible to force Drogba away?

Look at the state of World of Warcraft in Southampton, he is in full swing with Zlatan Ibrahimovic playing a scoring game!
Even if Drogba is sent away because he thinks he is old, what about Sturridge?

Why can't this star of hope be kept?

Everyone knows that there is a problem in the midfield, but why not keep Matic?
The performance of the Serbian midfielder in the Netherlands is obvious to all. Keeping him can strengthen the strength of the team. Why not?
It is understandable to say that you have sold someone.

But after you sell, you have to bring in reinforcements!
You are not!
After all, the reason why the team is today is because the operation of the transfer market is too bad!
The players in the cabin were full of criticisms, but they dared not speak out.

Abramovich, who walked out of the cabin, was also furious, but he had nowhere to vent.

Of course he knew what the problem was, but he couldn't admit it.

He also knew that after sending away Drogba, Matic and Sturridge, Chelsea should sign up.

But the problem is, he has no money!
He was hollowed out by that damn bastard Yang Huan!
Adam Lallana and Benatia cost him 7000 million pounds, a Toni Kroos cost him 6000 million pounds, plus the salaries of Drogba, Sturridge and Matic.

Calculated to be close to 5000 million pounds!

Damn, no matter how fast he digs oil in Siberia, he can't keep up with the speed of spending money!

Not to mention last year's summer transfer, and this year's winter break transfer, there was no money invested.

There will also be no funds to invest in the next two seasons!

Yang Huan's move was not only sucking his blood, but also cutting his flesh!
But what can he do?
I can only keep regretting, regretting how I was kicked in the head by the donkey, lost my head, and ran to bet with him!

"Yang Huan, sooner or later, I will strangle you to death!"

Abramovich gritted his teeth and shouted in his heart.

…………

…………

Chelsea coaching change!
This sudden news shocked the entire European football world and even fans all over the world.

Boas didn't say anything to the outside world, and Chelsea just announced that Boas was dismissed from get out of class, and the position of head coach was temporarily held by assistant coach Di Matteo.

As Chelsea's acting coach, Di Matteo made it clear at the first press conference.

"The team will work hard to adjust in the next half month, and strive to reverse the situation in the second round of the knockout round of the Champions League round of [-]. We believe that we will be able to defeat the opponent at Stamford Bridge!"

But actually?
On March [-]th, Chelsea sat at Stamford Bridge and ushered in Mazzarri's Naples.

Make bricks without straw!

Di Matteo's team is still unable to get rid of the embarrassment of weak front.

Although the referee gave Chelsea a penalty, Lampard made the penalty and took the lead.

But Naples quickly equalized the score, and in the end the two sides drew one to one.

In this way, Naples eliminated Chelsea with a total score of four to one.

At the same time, in another round of sixteen knockout match, Arsenal ushered in AC Milan at home.

Back at home, Wenger changed his mind and reused the local winger Chamberlain who was introduced at a high price from Southampton this season.

It was precisely this teenager who led Arsenal's counterattack horn.

Two assists helped Arsenal beat AC Milan [-]-[-] at home.

But in the end, the Italian Rossoneri still eliminated Arsenal with a total score of four to three.

The UEFA Champions League has reached the top [-], and the four teams in the Premier League have declared annihilation!

Early the next morning, almost all the authoritative newspapers in England were filled with mourning.

The authoritative Times even used a black and white page to show its condolences for the annihilation of the Premier League.

What is the reason that the tyrannical Premier League has fallen into a state of collapse that is not even as good as Serie A?
Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, these are the most powerful teams in the Premier League in the past ten years.

Why did you lose so embarrassingly?

What happened to the Premier League?
The news spread through newspapers and the media, and the whole of Britain was suddenly filled with gloom.

Countless fans even cried bitterly.

They were all in their hearts and couldn't help crying.

Could it be that English football is really going to decline from now on?

Is the Premier League, which claims to be the most profitable football league in the world, really dead?
No, there is still a chance!

There's still a fig leaf, isn't there?

Europa League!
Are Manchester United and Manchester City still in the Europa League?
Since you can't get the Champions League, then get a Europa League, at least it can cover your shame!

As a result, countless Premier League fans turned their attention to the second round of the Europa League round of [-] knockout matches the next day.

In the first round earlier, Southampton was tied [-]-[-] by Valencia at home, Manchester United was defeated by Athletic Bilbao [-]-[-] at home, and Manchester City lost [-]-[-] away to Sporting Lisbon.

Judging from this score, Southampton has the least hope, and its opponent is also the strongest.

Because of the strength of the Bat Corps, everyone knows that it is difficult to win the opponent at home, and it is even more hopeless to go to the away game.

Although Manchester United lost at home, but with the strength of Manchester United, the away game may not be hopeless.

As long as Ferguson and the Red Devils can adjust up and down, it will not be difficult to kill Athletic Bilbao.

As for Manchester City, it is normal to lose [-] to [-] away. Returning to the home court to reverse the opponent has the greatest hope.

Three teams, three fates.

Southampton has the least hope of advancing, and it is the Championship team, followed by Manchester United and Manchester City.

Therefore, the entire English football world began to pay attention to this round of the Europa League knockout round, which was not taken seriously.

Many fans even appealed, hoping that Manchester United and Manchester City can show their best form, can do their best to compete for the Europa League, and stop the decline of the Premier League.

The media also paid unprecedented attention to the match between Manchester United and Manchester City. Almost all newspapers, TV stations and radio stations, large and small, sent delegations to the match.

Countless fans are also sitting in front of the TV, waiting for the latest progress and results of the game!
March [-], [-], at [-] o'clock sharp.

Manchester United challenged Athletic Bilbao away, and Manchester City played against Sporting Lisbon at home.

The two games ignited the flames of war at the same time!
