The Young Lion

In the eyes of Fleet Street, Chelsea boss Abramovich is certainly not a patient boss.

The Russian rich man who was exposed to have learned from Inter Milan boss Moratti also seems to be similar to Moratti, that is, if he is not satisfied with the record, he will fire the coach.

After he just acquired Chelsea, he fired the other side without meeting with Ranieri, and then chose Eriksson. In Eriksson's first season in charge, that is, last season, the league was not over yet. Eriksen's fate was sealed when Chelsea were eliminated from the Champions League.

Now, one of the hot topics in front of Fleet Street is: whether Mourinho will dismiss get out of class.

Hence the exploratory dialogue between commentator duo Martin Taylor and Andy Gray.

Martin, we must rationally look at Mourinho's record of coaching Chelsea. Now, we just see that Chelsea led by Mourinho cannot shake Millwall's dominance. However, looking at it from another angle, Chelsea is ahead of Manchester United. Arsenal, Liverpool, and a big gap, and at the same time, Jose Mourinho has brought Chelsea a title this season, the League Cup.

Hehe, Andy, what you mean is that Manchester United didn't fire Ferguson, Arsenal didn't fire Wenger, and Mourinho shouldn't have been fired, right?

There are factors in this aspect, but not entirely. You know, a head coach will give a team his own personal touch. Even if Chelsea can't win the league championship this season, they are tough, tenacious, and pragmatic football. The style has begun to take root in the hearts of the people. If Chelsea invites a coach with a very different style to coach this team, then the new coach may carry out a very major transformation of the team. First of all, Mourinho must be erased. Only this point, it will take a long time, and the price of this time must be the record! Secondly, this may not only be the change of the head coach, but changing a head coach will inevitably have a further impact on the team lineup. Today's main force may be kicked out tomorrow. Chelsea has had too many changes in personnel in the past two seasons, and the dressing room should be very turbulent. If this continues, it must violate the laws of football. Chelsea has financial resources, which can speed them up. To be successful, but if you go against the laws of football and build a team, it won't go well.

Coincidentally, when the commentator was discussing whether Mourinho's butt could still sit in the position of Chelsea coach, Abramovich was also communicating with Kenyon in the stands of Stamford Bridge.

After Chelsea was tied by Arsenal at home in the last round, Abramovich has almost no expectations for Chelsea's league title this season.

It's not that he doesn't have enough enthusiasm and support for Chelsea. After spending a lot of money for two consecutive years, no one can question his enthusiasm for running Chelsea. However, he is more realistic and will not dream of idealism.

Like Fleet Street made a probability prediction before the start of this round,

The probability of Millwall winning the championship is as high as 93.7, while Chelsea's is only 6.3. I don't know how they counted or based on what they made such a prediction, but such an almost one-sided prediction coincides with Abramovich's inner thoughts.

If Chelsea can win the championship, it will be a miracle!

In the first three matches this season, Chelsea suffered a crushing defeat. At the most critical moment, Chelsea suddenly showed their power. Who would believe it!

It has been almost two years since he really entered the football circle. In these two years, Abramovich has gradually understood the ways of this circle from an amateur scout.

For Mourinho's failure to win Aldridge, he didn't seem so surprised and disappointed.

Very simple reason.

How strong Aldridge is, just look at the championship record in his honor book.

Why can't Chelsea beat Millwall?

It's also very simple.

Insufficient strength.

Abu doesn't think about how profound or complicated issues are, and the facts presented in front of him are clear at a glance: our strength is not as good as that of the crazy lion!

In the fantasy lineup he originally envisioned, a team composed of eleven world-class superstars will start!

But in the process of implementation, an embarrassing situation appeared for him: 100 million euros was offered to Raul, but no one could be bought!

For players at the level of superstars, although money is a very important part, there are still other factors that affect player transfers, and they may play a key role. For example, Raul is unwilling to go to Chelsea, even with Flo Lentino was unhappy, he still wanted to stay at the Bernabeu, even sacrificed himself for the team's skills and tactics, this is the loyalty of the players.

Chelsea is not attractive enough to superstars, and Abramovich can only accept compromises in reality. His greatest resource: wealth, can’t play a role. Then, the next best thing is to buy some first-class players who have the potential to grow into world-class superstars. After a period of waiting, the brand new Chelsea can reach a world-class level.

So just looking at the lineup cards, Chelsea lost to Millwall, there is nothing unacceptable for Abramovich. Last season, he would be furious because Eriksson led the team to a disastrous home defeat. Now, it is probably because he has been in the industry for a long time. How unacceptable this is.

Millwall's star group is divided according to strength, and it seems to be weaker than before, because they used to have half a team of world-class stars, but today there are only 3 on the field.

Ronaldinho, Henry, Nesta.

But there is still a Nedved on the bench.

And other players, like Ronaldo, Kaka, and Alonso, these three players are already first-class stars, while De Rossi, who has grown rapidly last season and tended to be stable this season, is considered by the outside world to be the first in the Premier League. Two stars like Vieira, even Lahm and Silva, both of them have made great progress this season, and the growth rate is amazing.

And what about Chelsea?

There is only one who can be recognized as a world-class superstar by the outside world, Lampard!

The midfield superstar who helped England win the World Cup and the European Cup, if he hadn't returned to the Premier League from Inter Milan and had nowhere to go, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come to Chelsea, but just like his worth, he is now Chelsea's highest paid star.

But what about the others?

Makelele is underrated, not considered world class, but should be at least half.

Originally Ashley Cole was absolutely world-class, but this season, his value has dropped instead!

Because he didn't have a better performance on the offensive end, a full-back who only relies on defense, no matter how good his defense is, it is impossible to enter the world class!

Other players like Robben, Ribery, Drogba, Essien, Carvalho, etc., although they look very good, compared with Millwall players in the same period, they always feel a little bit worse.

Therefore, in terms of overall strength, Millwall is stronger than Chelsea, but not necessarily much stronger. Therefore, Millwall can leave Manchester United and Arsenal without a trace in the league, but they are still in the penultimate round. Let Chelsea retain the title hope.

Abramovich is not dissatisfied or satisfied with Mourinho's work.

Mourinho did not surprise him, a Carling Cup winner was forgotten the day after winning it, so there was little satisfaction to be had.

But Mourinho didn't lead the team to a bad record. Chelsea played their worth and strength. In the league, they ranked second in strength and ranked second in the standings. will go further.

Kenyon suggested that Abdo give Mourinho some time, just as the reason stated in the exchange between Martin Taylor and Andy Gray.

Chelsea can't afford it!

Who are you going to invite?

Invite a coach who has never coached in the Premier League, then this coach must be familiar with the Premier League, understand Chelsea, and put his own set into practice. 3. Then what? Chelsea may have said goodbye to the championship.

In the Premier League, a league so fiercely competitive and brutal, you have only one opponent to watch: Millwall.

If the other party doesn't make a mistake, you can't make a mistake!

Abramovich does not want to perform major surgery on Chelsea.

That will plunge the team into turmoil, and the record will inevitably pay a price.

But his patience is limited, and he will only give Mourinho another season.

It's not enough to just press the standard line for work performance, so you should make some extraordinary performance, right?

At the same time, in order to narrow the strength gap between Chelsea and Millwall, Abramovich hopes to bring Chelsea one or two world-class stars in the summer!

In this way, the slight gap between Chelsea and Millwall this season may be able to be filled, because Chelsea's current main lineup also has room for growth. After this season, next season, it should be stronger in itself.

In terms of player selection, the first goal is naturally the players in Millwall's team. If they can succeed, it is equivalent to directly reducing Millwall's strength.

Hearing Abu's question in a low voice, Kenyon shook his head and smiled wryly, but didn't answer. In fact, everyone knew the answer.

To say that the poaching of the three Millwall players last summer was a great success for Chelsea, but if they want to poach Millwall players this summer, or even continue to work hard in this area in the future, I am afraid it will not be possible!

Why?

Because of Ashley Cole they set an example.

Their lack of impactful success at Chelsea has made it tempting for Millwall's stars, unless they have nothing else in their eyes but money, to avoid Chelsea.

to Chelsea?

Bad luck!

Abu probably knew that it was not realistic, so he didn't continue this topic.

He then mentioned two names.

Kenyon showed a thoughtful expression after hearing the names of these two world-class stars.

Finally said to Abramovich: We show the greatest sincerity and try our best to bring them to Stamford Bridge in the summer.

The two names mentioned in Abu's mouth are also related to Millwall, once.

One is Milan's leading striker and Shevchenko who has a good personal relationship with Abramovich.

The other is the midfielder Ballack, who has only one year left in the Bayern Munich contract. r1152
