The strongest winger

Chapter 574
After Abramovich announced the huge championship reward, he did not leave the restaurant immediately. Instead, under the attention of all the players, he went to a separate box in the restaurant with Mourinho and Aiello for nearly half an hour. As for what he said, no one knew.

Of course, except for the parties.

Since there will be a 19th round match with Aston Villa at home tomorrow, the players who come to the restaurant for dinner are not allowed to drink alcohol. Therefore, after eating and drinking, the Chelsea officials, coaching staff members, medical team members and players who had dinner left the restaurant in batches and returned home.

It is worth mentioning that after the players returned home, they basically suffered from insomnia collectively, but Zi ah thought of playing a league game at Stamford Bridge the next day, so he forced himself to fall asleep.

However, Ai Luo embraced the beauty in her arms and fell asleep early, because she had exhausted too much the night before and didn't have enough sleep time.

With enough sleep and the help of his girlfriend in the stands, Aiello is in excellent condition. After defeating Blackburn with two goals in the last away game, he scored a hat-trick against Aston Villa at home. His excellent condition surprised other Premier League powerhouses.

Aiello scored an astonishing five goals in the first two games of the devil's schedule during Christmas. This also made the media who had doubts that Ailuo could not adapt to the cold weather in England completely shut up. Two games in three days, this is no longer whether he has adapted to the British weather.

You must know that Cristiano Ronaldo scored two poor goals in these two rounds of the league, but if it is normal, the Devils scored two goals in a row can be said to be a very good answer, but in front of Ai Luo, it is not enough.

But the headlines the next day were not for Ai Luo.

It was... Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

"According to reliable sources, during the Chelsea club's Christmas dinner, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich announced a huge bonus that is hard to calm down..."

The "Daily Mirror" once again broke the amazing inside story. Below the headlines are the specific huge bonus data of Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich.

Immediately, it caused a wave of accusations from the British media, especially the media supporting Arsenal, which is currently relatively short of money.

"Football is originally the purest sport, but with the development of the times, today's football has become full of copper smell, especially since the Russian rich man Roman Abramovich took over Chelsea in 2003, he began to spend money like water. There are only players that he doesn't like, and there are no players who can't buy. This disrupts the original order of the football world, and the value of the players has skyrocketed, indirectly making many teams unable to survive. A huge bonus of 5000 pounds, which is enough to support the financial expenditure of the Premier League team hovering in the relegation zone for three years..."

"...For those who disrupt football order, we can only say to this kind of behavior as a football match report-please get out of the Premier League! We don't need people who disrupt football order to appear in pure football matches, games are games!"

The Guardian's headline selection: Let the gold dollar who disrupted the football order get out of the Premier League!

Then Arsenal coach Wenger also severely criticized Chelsea's behavior in an interview: "This behavior is completely an insult to football and is unforgivable!"

Following the "Guardian" report and Wenger's publication in England, other media and fans were instantly divided into two factions.

One faction believes that with the formation of the football market, it is inevitable to increase investment. After all, there is a saying that is very good-if you fall behind, you will be beaten. When it is used in football games, you will be eliminated if you have no money.

The other faction believes that although increased investment is indispensable in football games, it is an unfeasible policy to use huge rewards as motivation, because players are fighting for honor, not money!
However, after hearing a few words from Chelsea coach Mourinho, this faction completely subsided, and even the "Guardian" didn't mention it at all.

"It's true that professional players eat their youth, right? It's right to make more money while they're young, right? Since there's nothing wrong with it, why don't team owners be allowed to use bonuses to motivate the team? It's not like they don't pay taxes, what's wrong with it?"

After spending Christmas with Aiello in London, Taylor Swift boarded a flight back to Los Angeles on the second day after Chelsea's home game against Aston Villa. After all, she is also in the period of rapid career growth. Although the relationship between children and daughters is important, Taylor does not want others to think that she is just a vase. Therefore, when Aiello becomes a world superstar, she will also work hard to make some achievements and prove herself!

Regarding Taylor's thoughts, Ai Luo can only choose to shake his head. Facing a girlfriend with such a strong personality, sometimes he has to go along with it, otherwise it is easy to encounter a relationship crisis.

In the last two games of the Christmas Devils League, Chelsea faced Newcastle and Fulham and achieved one win and one tie. It is a very good result to achieve three wins and one tie in all four Devils League games.

Aiello scored two goals and assisted one in two games.

The number of personal goals in a single season has reached 24 goals, 4 goals ahead of the second-ranked Cristiano Ronaldo.

切尔西在联赛的积分榜上依旧是高居榜首，在过去20轮的联赛当中取得了惊人的16胜4平积52分，领先排名第二的曼联5分。

But it is regrettable that the team also suffered from injuries, and both Malouda and Sidwell suffered from muscle fatigue.

After the end of the league with Fulham, it means that the Africa Cup of Nations is about to start. Chelsea's Côte d'Ivoire internationals Drogba and Kalou, Ghana internationals Essien, Mikel and others will return to the national team to start the Ghana Africa Cup of Nations competition.

That is to say, before the end of the Africa Cup of Nations, Chelsea will lose Drogba, Essien and Mikel, the three absolute main players!
But fortunately, the situation of participating in the Africa Cup of Nations is not on the Chelsea team. The other top three Premier League teams also have the same problem, which means that each other's combat effectiveness will be weakened.

Of course, this is the best way for the team coach Mourinho to comfort himself.

The schedule in January is also relatively intensive for Chelsea. From the third round of the FA Cup match on the 5th to the league game against Reading on the 31st of the month, there are a total of seven league games, which means one game every four days on average.

For Chelsea, which has lost three absolute main players, it is undoubtedly the most difficult time.

But... Fortunately, the team has a healthy Aiello.

At the same time, Chelsea made moves in the winter transfer window. They first sold Robben to Real Madrid for 2500 million pounds, and then used real money from Real Madrid to buy Anelka and Ivanovic, which cost 1500 million pounds and 1000 million pounds respectively.

The first thing that started at home in January was the third round of the FA Cup of the 2007-2008 season, with a home game against the League One team Royal Park Rangers.

In view of the fact that Chelsea and the Royal Garden Rangers are too different in level and strength, Mourinho did not send the main lineup in order to stay in the first round of the League Cup semi-final against Everton.

This momentum of winning continued well into the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals. In addition, the boss Abramovich promised that if he won the quadruple this season, he would have a reward of 5000 million pounds.

The first round of the League Cup semi-finals ended in the middle of the week, and the next step is the league game against Tottenham Hotspur at home. The players have been a little tired in the continuous campaign, but fortunately Chelsea is still a home game, eliminating the need for travel and fatigue.

In the pre-match warm-up, the team's starting center Shevchenko was injured, and Peruvian striker Pizarro was also in a sluggish state, so Mourinho had to risk using the newly joined French striker Anelka.

But let’s not say it, this employment is really brilliant, and it has immediate results. It opened the scoring for Chelsea before the end of the first half, and then assisted Aiello to score a goal that sealed the victory in the second half. Anelka also became the best player in this league with one goal and one assist in this game.

It is worth mentioning that there was a big score in another focus match at the same time. Manchester United bloodbathed the home team Newcastle United 6-0 at St. James' Park. Among them, Cristiano Ronaldo once again staged a hat-trick and assisted.

At the same time, both Arsenal and Liverpool drew with their respective opponents. That is to say, only Manchester United is biting the top Chelsea and is slightly behind by five points. The third-ranked Arsenal is already nine points away from Chelsea, and Liverpool is ten points behind.

After the end of this round of the league, the Premier League teams also temporarily breathed a sigh of relief, because the continuous week of double matches was finally over and began to have a week of rest.

As a result, Mourinho gave the team a rare two-day vacation to give the players a good rest. The continuous week of double matches has caused great fatigue to the players, both physically and psychologically. It is necessary to leave some time for the players to rest.

The next day, Ai Luo made an appointment with Ashley Cole, Barack and others to go to the London Motor Show, but a phone call from the Chinese manager Li Shiyin forced Ai Luo to change the schedule.

Because... Tang Shun, the new chairman of the Football Association, and Lin Yao, the vice chairman, who had been appointed earlier, have come to London.

PS: Thanks to Nangua for the two monthly tickets, continue to ask for tickets, and recommendations are also welcome!
