Chapter 930: The Choice of the Blue Army
Notts County played against Manchester City at home in the penultimate round of the league. The championship competition between the Magpies and Chelsea has entered the final fierce stage. Perhaps, the two games in this round are called the Battle of Tianwangshan.
If Notts County can no longer narrow the gap, then even if Chelsea can't get cheap from Manchester United, there will not be many opportunities left for Notts County.
However, when the two games ended, the Notts County fans still felt a burst of frustration. Although the Magpies won Manchester City, Chelsea also won. There is a gap of 4 points.
It's not hopeless, but hope seems really slim.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Notts County for making too many mistakes.
Well, since there is nothing we can do about you in the league, let's deal with you in the Champions League to soothe our wounded hearts.
Notts County fans can only comfort themselves in this way.
This time Notts County finally took the initiative in the schedule. They can be a guest at Stamford Bridge first, and then return to the Magpies Stadium.
David didn't know that within Chelsea, several senior executives were really studying countermeasures because of the conflict between the Champions League and the league.
It is difficult for Klinsmann and even the team's current ability to attack both the Champions League and the league at the same time, especially at this most critical juncture. There is also a league game with Manchester United between the two Champions League semi-finals with Notts County , If there are no two contests with Notts County, he is still confident to clean up Ferguson, but let the players play three tough battles in a week, even if there is a rotation, I am afraid it will be difficult for Chelsea.
First of all, facing Chelsea, Klinsmann is not sure that he can eliminate his opponent. After all, although Notts County has not been able to continue to dominate Chelsea this season, Chelsea has not been able to take advantage of Notts County. Especially now that Chelsea still has an Achilles' heel, and this Achilles' heel will directly lead to Chelsea not having any advantage in the penalty shootout, so now Chelsea may find it difficult to eliminate their opponents in the Champions League.
And once they use too much force in the Champions League and stumble on Manchester United, then Chelsea is very likely to have a tragic loss of all four at the last minute, which is by no means the result they want.
The reason why Klinsmann was able to sit firmly in the coaching position is precisely because Chelsea has been overwhelming Notts County for a season, and once Chelsea repeats the mistakes of the past two seasons and ends up empty-handed, then he and Mourinho What's the difference?
Klinsmann explained the team's current situation to Abramovich in detail, and Abramovich and several executives were also lost in thought. The situation is a bit tricky!
I think that Abramovich has devoted himself to English football back then. Since the acquisition of Chelsea, he has been spending a lot of money. Chelsea has also become the top European team that everyone is afraid of. Since then, Chelsea has not had a champion that can be won, and it is really a bit embarrassing, giving people the feeling that the name is not worthy of the name.
No way, who made them meet an equally awesome Notts County at the wrong time!
Maybe Abramovich once hoped for the Champions League champion, but after several seasons, he has gradually realized the essence of football. Sometimes it is really not a strong team that can win the championship. There are so many top giants in Europe. Only one club can reach the top this season. Whether it is a manifestation of strength, it requires luck.
So Abramovich will not force the Champions League title now. After all, Chelsea haven't even conquered the Premier League yet, so why are they talking about conquering the Champions League.
Now, what Chelsea need is a champion who can justify their name. At present, the Premier League champion is obviously more secure, and there is absolutely no room for loss.
Of course, Abramovich is still not reconciled. The Champions League has broken into the semi-finals, which has already tied Chelsea's club history record. Of course, this record was only created in the last few seasons. The key problem is that Notts County is like a mountain. Standing in front of Chelsea, trying to get past them,
It's really not easy.
"Jurgen, can you see if this can be done like this? The first away game against Notts County is to minimize consumption, and then a proper rotation can also have enough energy to clean up Manchester United in the league. Finally, in the battle against Notts County. As for the next two opponents, I really don’t think they can cause us too much trouble.” Abu thought for a while and asked Klinsmann.
Klinsmann had already expected that Abramovich would not give up a game easily. As the actual owner of the club, although Abramovich's words were a questioning gesture, they were not much different from the decree, and Klinsmann had to agree.
"Maybe I can try, but I can't guarantee the effect! If the consumption is too high after playing Manchester United, then I will properly consider giving up the second game against Notts County!" Klinsmann replied.
Abramovich nodded. He knew Klinsmann's difficulties. Maybe any coach would not be better than Klinsmann. Haven't they been able to snatch a championship from Notts County?
Therefore, the tone of Chelsea's game has been completely established. Although Klinsmann may not be willing, but at this level, he has no choice.
He doesn't want to lose his current job. Although Abramovich interferes with his actions from time to time, when he was coaching the German team, there was still the German Football Association, the overlord. He couldn't let go of his hands and feet completely. There are a lot more than in the German team.
"Away games are not easy to play, but often difficult times also mean opportunities. In away games, we will completely let go. Under the current rules of the Champions League, an away goal often plays a huge role, and can even determine who can advance. The final, so Chelsea will go all out to attack in this game, strive for victory, and strive for away goals!"
During the interview, the expression on Klinsmann's face was smug.
The reporters didn't expect that Klinsmann would reveal Chelsea's grand strategy. Chelsea will fight against Notts County at the Magpie Stadium?
It seems that this possibility is not impossible!
Under the current rules of the UEFA Champions League, the home and away two-round knockout match is indeed quite strange. When there is no huge gap in strength between the two teams, the visiting team will often attack desperately, while the home team will often be very conservative. The ball is more valuable than a home goal.
The match between Chelsea and Notts County has always been very dull. Although the technical and tactical content is high, the game scene is not exciting. Is this game going to break the rules? (To be continued.) Browse and read address:
