Chapter 159 The Premier League Years End, New Beginning?
On May 2008, 5, London, a city full of costumes, turned into a sea of ​​joy. Nearly 24 million Chelsea fans flocked to the streets to celebrate the first time in the history of the team standing on the top of Europe a feeling of! !
The whole city has been caught in a carnival.

Returning to London from Moscow, the Chelsea players took a special plane specially arranged by club chairman Abramovich.

When the special plane of Chelsea players arrived at London Heathrow Airport, Chelsea captain John Terry couldn't wait to open the window, waving a big Chelsea team flag in the air...

The crazy celebration started as soon as we stepped off the plane. Xiang Nan was even a little dizzy. No one could hear what the reporters were talking about, and no one paid attention to it. During the whole time, everyone's heart hadn't changed from the "big one" Earcup's passionate nostalgia to get away.

Everyone tried to hold this glittering trophy for a while longer, the feeling of holding the glory of the champion in their arms was great.

*******
The double-decker celebration float bus was driving slowly on the streets of London.

For this kind of parade after winning the championship, Xiang Nan is no longer a stranger. This is already the third time for the Chelsea team to parade with floats this season.

However, all of these are so crazy and different, because this time is different, no one can refuse the convulsive feeling brought by the 'big ear cup'...

Almost all the streets were fluttered with blue flags, and the faces of the fans were also covered with blue paint. The whole city was also decorated with the color of the sky, the color of the heart of the ocean! !
"Ashley, the feeling of being a champion is great." The big buffalo waved his jersey and roared.

"Better than that 36-D chick you met in Moscow?" Ashley Cole said immeasurably.

"Of course, the girl can date again, the champion may be unattainable in a lifetime!!"

In a sense, to be able to say such words from the mouth of a "big breast lover" buffalo is really a "fearless" spirit! !

*******
The cheers of the fans, as every player raised the championship trophy high, fell into a new round of madness.

Xiang Nan felt as if he was in constant orgasm, taking the trophy from Lampard's hands -
Hold it high! !
The setting sun was setting, and a ray of the setting sun cast golden sunlight on Xiangnan's cheeks. His black hair was already a little messy. Under the golden sunlight, the lines of his face became more and more rigid. , but there is no lack of feeling...

"AND—REA!!!——WINNING!!!!"

"AND—REA!!!——WINNING!!!!"

Responding southwards was the tidy chants of cheering fans as 'Song of Andre' circled the skies over London...  

The parade float went all the way from Hamilton Road, went around a circle, and finally reached Charlton Road, then made a big turn, and finally reached the final point——
King's Road! !

At the end of the road, behind is a magnificent place...

Stamford Bridge! !
On May 2008, 5, Stamford Bridge fell into a carnival, and this day was recorded in Chelsea's history after all...

On the home stand of Stamford Bridge, a big banner appeared——
"There is only one, Your Highness Andre!!"

The European Champions Cup final battle has come to an end, and it has also drawn a big exclamation point for the 2007-2008 season of the European continent! !

The picture on the front page of England's "Daily Mail" is Xiangnan's crazy celebration after scoring Chelsea's third goal and beating Manchester United. Heart trembling out of the eyes...

The Times used a picture of Chelsea captain John Terry holding up the 'Big Ear Cup' from Platini.

Here, it is worth mentioning that "The Sun", the famous three-page tabloid in England, used a picture of Cristiano Ronaldo crying in Scholes' arms after the defeat, accompanied by a big picture title---
Who will soothe, the tears of the Portuguese! !
Uh... I have to say, the Manchester United number 7 will not like this report...

The "Daily Mirror" used a lot of space to praise Chelsea's head coach Avram Grant. In this commentary-
Very pertinently commented on the performance of the Israelis at Stamford Bridge. It is rare not to exaggerate because of the newly-baked championship coaching status of the Chelsea coach. There have been some obvious mistakes, and the Israelis' on-the-spot command problem, which has been criticized by others, has not improved much. However, at such a time when they rushed to the top halfway, Chelsea, who led the distracted people, could finally win the 2007-2008 The English League Cup, the FA Cup, and the more important European Champions Cup this season have achieved the honor of the Triple Crown, which is also a great contribution! !

In this European Champions Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United won the top scorer of the European Champions Cup with 8 goals.

It is worth mentioning that the second place is 'His Royal Highness Andre' from Chelsea, Stamford Bridge! ! !
However, Xiangnan's 7 goals were scored in the knockout round after the winter break, and scored in half a season. This also surprised the official UEFA judges. They have almost the same problem. Haunting in the minds of the media and various clubs, according to this terrifying goal rate——
'If it is a full season cycle, how many goals will Chelsea's No. 9 score? '

Among them, Xiang Nan's goal in the final was marveled as, 'Andre Ronaldinho' way goal, was named the best goal of this season's European Champions Cup! !

After the final, this goal was broadcast repeatedly on major sports portal platforms around the world...

More than 100 Andre clubs appeared overnight around the world;

An astrologer from Athens, Greece claimed that before the final, he predicted that Chelsea would win this year's championship, just because he used the constellations of ancient Greece to calculate that Chelsea No. 9 would be in May 2008. On the 5rd, I was possessed by Ares, the god of war, for 23 minutes...

The image of sunshine, a strong fighter, a proud prince...

The image of facing south, through the night of Moscow, quickly became known to more people...

According to the latest statistics from the headquarters of DOLCE&&GABBNA, after Chelsea won the championship, the global sales of DOLCE&&GABBNA increased by 11.00%. The limited-edition DOLCE&&GABBNA underwear has been auctioned on e-buy and has been fired up to 5800 pounds...

Uh...this could definitely claim the Guinness record for the most expensive underwear in the world...

However, according to gossip, a certain rich woman who is willing to disclose her name is willing to bid 100 million euros to spend a good night with Xiang Nan. Liven up...

In this regard, the newly released 'love-number-9' club of a certain three-page star in London issued a statement, strongly condemning this serious act of blasphemy against Andre, and declared on behalf of the female compatriots in London that Andre belongs to Sexy London girl's…

Well...this...exclusive? ....

*******
At this time, less than three days after Chelsea won the championship, an explosive news without warning was released on Chelsea's official website——
After the final retention, Mr. Chairman of the club agreed to the resignation request of the head coach Avram Grant. The club thanks Avram Grant for his contribution to the club during his 8 months in the team I have made a significant contribution, and Mr. Chairman also wishes Avram good results in his new work...

This is tantamount to a blockbuster. When they just won the 'Triple Crown', they changed the head coach. Although, the elites on Fleet Street have been cursing and even asserting that the Israelis will be fired. However, the Israelis are like Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death. Instead, they work harder and better, and lead Chelsea to win the "Triple Crown" of the League Cup, FA Cup, and Champions League. What you want, the dream of standing on top of Europe! ! !

In the eyes of Fleet Street or European football analysts, Avram Grant's coaching position will be more secure. He will realize a new era at Stamford Bridge after Mourinho...

*******
Time back to 12 hours ago.

On May 2008, 5, Chelsea's Cobham training ground was in chaos, full of reporters.

Today is the day when the team is disbanded, and Xiang Nan came to Cobham base early in the morning.

He received a call from Terry in the middle of the night yesterday, and the captain of Chelsea told him that he had just received the exact news that the head coach, Mr. Avram Grant, had formally submitted his resignation to the chairman——
After thinking for 10 seconds, Mr. Chairman agreed to Avram's resignation. '

'Handshake, friendly handshake, dinner together...'

Hanging up the phone, Xiang Nan couldn't hide his shock. He didn't expect his brother Grant, who won the European Champions Cup, to resign. Xiang Nan guessed from the phone that Terry must have known about Grant's resignation in advance. Whether it is Grant as the head coach or Abramovich as the club's biggest power owner, they have to take into account the mood of the Chelsea captain.

That night, Xiang Nan didn't fall asleep again. If it was because of the excitement after winning the championship two days ago, then he was completely shocked by this sudden news, and a 19-year-old boy was involved A faint worry about my future...

After all, who will the new head coach be?How to treat yourself, this is not sure...

Now, early in the morning, the noise of the Cobham training base completely made Xiang Nan feel bad. He could even hear the sound of helicopters flying around his head. This is the reporter of "Sky Sports", who was at the scene Live broadcasting all that happened at the Cobham base, this scene, Xiang Nan once heard Makelele say that when Mourinho was fired, the Cobham training base was also in such a mess.

At that time, the French also joked that when Grant was fired, there must not be such a big fight...

The appearance of Xiangnan made the reporters outside the gate of the Cobham training base frantically surround them as if they had discovered a newt with fresh blood.

"Andre, may I ask, did you know about Grant's resignation in advance?"

"Andre, do you have anything to say?"

"Andre..."

The security guards at the Cobham training base had to move out quickly to protect the south into the base, and then, immediately, closed the gate...

Chelsea players, when they came in, were all chased and intercepted by the reporters. They finally entered the base. When they were about to disband and entered the holiday, when they just stood on the top of Europe, no one was there. Too much excitement, and a worried expression on his face...

*******
Xiang Nan met physical coach Faria in the weight room, and Xiang Nan, who still couldn't believe what happened, asked Faria about the reliability of the news.

The old man's face could not conceal his worry, "Andre, the rumors are true, the news has been announced, and the boss has been fired..."

After the news was finally confirmed, Xiang Nan was a little distracted, and didn't notice the wrong language in Mr. Faria's mouth. It was 'fired', not 'resigned'! !

The reporter did not get any valuable news from Chelsea players or staff. The gate of Chelsea's Cobham training base is closed. Even the security guard at the gate has received a gag order from the club and is not allowed to have any communication with the media. touch…

In desperation, the elites of Fleet Street had no choice but to mobilize all forces to find new news points from other places as supplements.

Some reporters even interviewed Chelsea's former head coach Mourinho by phone, trying to find inside information about the resignation of the Israelis. 'Magic Bird' just asked the reporter, "Can he finally bear it?"

*******
Xiangnan and Sinclair were together, chatting every sentence in the bar on the second floor of the Cobham training base. At this time, half an hour had passed, and no one from the club had come to announce the concentration.

At this time, Frank-ARNESEN, the Development Director of the Youth Department, walked up to Xiang Nan, whispered something, and left.

Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, talked to Sinclair, and walked towards the testing building at Cobham Training Base.

This is where Chelsea's administrative management is located. Just now Frank-ARNESEN, the director of youth development, told Xiangnan that the club's CEO, Peter Kenyon, wanted to see Xiangnan.

The Chelsea CEO who was waiting for Xiang Nan in the office first gave Xiang Nan a gentle hug, "Andre, your performance is amazing."

"Thank you, Peter, don't forget, you brought me to Cobham Base!!"

Xiang Nan's meaning is obvious, my performance is good, and it is also thanks to you.

Obviously, the CEO of Chelsea was very satisfied with Xiang Nan's answer, and an undisguised smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After taking his seat, Kenyon also said straight to the point, "Andre, you already know everything that happened outside, right?"

Xiang Nan nodded, indicating that he already knew, "Yes, Peter, I heard that Avram has resigned."

Kenyon smiled. "Yes, Andre. Avram is a successful coach, he has his own choices. Do you know what I asked you to do?"

Xiang Nan looked at Kenyon with a little surprise.

"Andre, I came to you to tell you not to be affected by this incident. You are very important in the club's future plans."

Perhaps because he felt that there was something to add, the CEO of Chelsea went on to say, "As important as John!!"

While speaking, Ken Yang got up and walked towards the coffee machine behind him, "Andre, would you like a cup?"

"Uh... no, Peter, I don't like strong drinks."

"Forget it, I'm here by myself, you know, work pressure is high." Chelsea CEO raised the cup in his hand.

Xiang Nan didn't speak, with a thoughtful expression on the corners of his brows, he knew that Kenyon must have something to say to him, not simply chatting with him...
