Chapter 591

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!"

In his mansion in the West End of London, just after returning home from Wembley Stadium, Abramovich turned on the TV and heard the news that Southampton finally defeated Chelsea with a score of [-]-[-] and successfully defended the FA Cup.

Two more goals than when Abramovich left Wembley Stadium!
This made Abramovich feel extremely annoyed!
why?
Why invest so much money every year, but suffer such humiliation in the end?

Oscar?Benitez?

Don't these bastard commentators know that the most indispensable person in Chelsea is me?

If it weren't for me, who kept pouring money into it every year to support the team's operation and transfers, would Chelsea be where it is today?
Marina Granovskia has been standing by, not daring to breathe.

She knows better than anyone that as a boss, she will never make mistakes.

If there is a mistake, it must be that the people below are not doing their job effectively!

Therefore, at this time, as the CEO of Chelsea, if she does not want to become a victim of Abramovich's anger, it is best to choose silence and keep her mouth shut.

At this moment, another piece of news was broadcast on the TV.

"The latest news, at Manchester's Old Trafford Stadium, just ended a match in the seventh round of No.30 in the Premier League."

"In the Red Devils Manchester United's home game against Swansea, Ferguson's team performed very sluggishly, and they were in a rather disadvantageous situation throughout the game."

"The first goal of the game happened at the beginning of the second half. Swansea relied on Pablo to assist Michu and opened the scoring!"

"This goal is just a small microcosm of the game process. In the whole game, Manchester United only got 30.00%[-] ball possession rate. This is really quite embarrassing for the Red Devils Manchester United, who are fighting at home and aiming to compete for the Premier League title."

"United improved after the Swansea goal, but were never able to create a threat."

"Until No. 905 minutes of extra time, Manchester United entered the Swansea penalty area once. When Swansea defender Chico was fighting for a header with Rooney, Rooney fell to the ground. The referee gave a very controversial penalty."

"In the end, Rooney scored a penalty kick and equalized the score for Manchester United!"

"Because of Southampton's participation in the FA Cup final, the Saints' No.30 league round was postponed, and with Wayne Rooney's controversial penalty, Manchester United successfully expanded the points gap to two points!"

"Swansea's head coach Michel Laudrup directly pointed the finger at the referee in the post-match press conference, thinking that the referee saved Manchester United, otherwise Swansea would take away three points from Old Trafford!"

"And Manchester United coach Ferguson refused to talk about the controversial penalty in an interview with the media!"

Abramovich sat on the sofa in the living room, watching the news on TV.

The screen cut back to Wembley Stadium again, and the awards ceremony was being prepared at this time.

Southampton's players were celebrating wildly, and the live TV shots were frequently shown to the Royal Box at Wembley Stadium.

Yang Huan, Zhuang Ziqing, Prince William and Princess Kate, and the FA's David Bernstein were all there, everyone was smiling, and they all looked excited for Southampton's victory.

But in the eyes of Abramovich, it is...

"Hypocritical! Extremely hypocritical!"

Abramovich was furious, "Manchester United is taken care of by the referee? Isn't Southampton not?"

After a pause, Abramovich seemed still perplexed.

"Damn it, before Suarez transferred, there was a burst of publicity, as if Suarez was going to be banned for life, but when Suarez transferred to Southampton, damn it, he was banned for four games?"

"Do you dare to say that there is no shady here?"

Marina Granovskia stood aside, looking at her nose, her nose at her heart, her heart at...

In short, don't talk!

But I was thinking in my heart, there is really no way to say what is shady.

It is quite normal for the club to deal with the suspension of players.

For the smallest one, such as accumulative yellow card suspension, almost all teams will try their best to deal with it, adjust the suspension time, and try to stagger some important games. Could it be that this is also a shady scene?

Speaking of long-term suspensions, just like the Ferdinand drug test incident back then, didn't Manchester United also devote all their efforts to the team and do everything possible to deal with it?Even tried every means to delay the suspension period?
Therefore, it is really unnecessary to use this to attack Southampton.

Of all the Premier League teams, which one doesn't do this?
It can only be said that Southampton has a better relationship with the FA and the Premier League!
However, Southampton's suspension of Suarez this time allowed everyone in the entire Premier League to see the overall strength of the Saints. This is not the kind of upstart team.

How much influence does such a team have in English football that can make the law enforcement sticks in the hands of the FA and the Premier League swing high, but then fall gently, saying that it is a small punishment and a big warning, but in fact it is lenient.
Even Chelsea and Manchester United may not be able to do it!

Speaking of Manchester United, this game was really lucky.

6 minutes of stoppage time, the penalty kick at the last critical moment, if there are no other factors, who would believe it?

When Granovskia laughed secretly in his heart, Abramovich also began to calm down and fell silent.

The Russian woman understood Abramovich's temper very well and spoke up immediately.

"Manchester United really can't support the wall with mud, and even tied Swansea!"

These words somewhat shift the suspicion of contradictions.

You think, Manchester United is a championship contender. At the critical moment of winning the championship, even Swansea could not win, and finally tied the score with super long stoppage time and controversial penalties.

From this point of view, isn't it normal for our Chelsea to lose to Southampton?

Abramovich really got on the road, and snorted coldly, "Damn Xipi, it's a good thing we didn't give them three points before, otherwise, it would be a big loss now!"

Granovskia was secretly amused, probably thanks to Yang Huan, right?

But she could only think about it in her heart, and dared not say it.

"With Manchester United tied, the situation in the Premier League has completely changed!"

Who said no?
Don't look at Manchester United is still at the top of the list, now leading Southampton by two points, but the problem is that Southampton has one less game.

With Southampton's consistent performance, whether it is Sunderland or Stoke City, it may be difficult to stop the Saints.

As long as Southampton wins these two games, the championship belongs to the Saints!

The Premier League has progressed to this point, what else is there to say?

It can only be said that Manchester United did not live up to it!
"Manchester United's current predicament actually illustrates very well that a reasonable team lineup configuration is very important."

Marina Granovskia jumped at the chance to show off to her boss.

At the very least, he had to prove that he was not the CEO for nothing.

"There are so many veterans over 30 in the Red Devils team. In the first half of the league, they didn't have a strong momentum. There was no big problem. But after the winter break, in the second half of the league, the weaknesses of the veterans were exposed."

"In addition, Manchester United's current new generation of players is too obsessed with England. Players such as Phil Jones, Smalling, Evans, Cleverley and Ashley Young, whether in terms of overall strength or future development potential, are far behind young rookies on the European continent."

In recent years, Chelsea has been unswervingly taking the route of mainlandization.

Not only the tactics and management of the first team are being mainlandized, but even the selection and training of the youth teams are being mainlandized.

However, because Chelsea changed coaches too frequently, the youth team's ladder to the first team was cut off, so it was difficult for many outstanding young players to gain a foothold in Chelsea's first team.

For example, Moses, who was reused by Benitez before, is estimated to come to an end after Mourinho takes office next season.

From the perspective of team formation strategy, Granovskia has to admire Yang Huan's Southampton.

The average age of this team is the lowest in the Premier League. Although the team has veterans like Ibrahimovic and Drogba, it also has young players like Pogba, Ravel Morrison, and Laporte.

Among the signings this season, players like Hazard, Danilo, Alex Sandro, Azpilicueta and other players have proved their contribution to the team with their performance, while Gareth Bale and Modric have become the team's midfielders.

In addition, Luke Shaw, Chambers, Kovacic, Januzaj, who have been promoted to the first team by Bielsa this season, and other young rookies who have shined in the UEFA Youth League, all make people look forward to Southampton's future potential.

It can be said that the Saints are definitely the most reasonable team in the Premier League this season.

Even, it is so reasonable that it looks like it has been configured by computer science, which is amazing!
While Granovskia was thinking, Abramovich was also thinking about another question.

"Marina!"

Granovskia was startled reflexively, and immediately agreed, "Boss!"

"Go, tell Zenden that if you lose the FA Cup final, you will lose, but as long as he wins the Europa League, I will let him stay in the team, and then tell the players, if he wins the Europa League, I will be rewarded a lot!"

After Granovskia heard this, he asked cautiously, "Boss, how many can you have?"

You can't go to the players and say that the boss will reward you a lot for winning the Europa League, but don't say how much?
Isn't this a blank check?Draw big cakes?

The players are not so stupid, they won't be determined just because of your words!

Who made you shout out that even if you win the Europa League, there will be no extra bonus?

"What do you think, one hundred thousand pounds per person?"

One hundred thousand pounds?

The corners of Granovskia's eyes twitched, and he wanted to cry!
My boss, don't you see the current situation clearly?

One hundred thousand pounds, is that a lot?

When the Premier League relegation team shouted the relegation slogan this season, as long as the relegation is successful, each person will be paid 20 pounds.

In this case, if you win a Europa League championship, you will be given [-] pounds, are you embarrassed?

The combined bonuses of the whole team are not enough for you to squander overnight!

Boss, this kind of money cannot be saved!
But soon, Abramovich's next sentence made Granovskia shut up.

"Well, the main players will be given [-] pounds, and the substitutes will be given [-] pounds. That's it!"

Hearing the boss's decision, Granovskia really wanted to cry.

Southampton doesn’t talk about winning the Premier League or the FA Cup, but the bonus for winning the Europa League is as high as 1000 million euros. After conversion, the team’s first team is about 30 pounds per person, and the rest is for the team’s coaching staff.

But we, Chelsea, only give one hundred thousand pounds, which is only one-third of others...

I rub!

It looks like it's already bleeding a lot!

But what can Granovskia say?

The money is in other people's pockets, but if the boss doesn't give it to him, is it still necessary to grab it?
