Chapter 851 Infighting
The mood in the high-level boardroom at Stamford Bridge the day after the away defeat to Everton was dire.
Abramovich sat on the top seat with a livid face, looked at Granovskia here, then at Mourinho over there, and finally at Bruce Buck, who was purely soy sauce, he Immediately, I felt my head was as big as a bucket.
There have only been three rounds in the league now, but Chelsea have lost three games.
Although Abramovich rarely intervenes in the team, especially in terms of performance, he feels that he must come forward as soon as possible, at least to find out what the situation is now.
Why is the team performing so poorly?
Also, how long will this bad state last?
But what he didn't expect at all was that the atmosphere would become so bad, and it even turned into a fight between Mourinho and Granovskia in the end, which was not what he wanted to see at all.
He would much rather see everyone working together with one heart and one mind than what is happening now.
Granovskia has been his confidant for many years. Although there may be some problems in terms of ability, his loyalty is absolutely reliable.
At Chelsea, he must have someone he can absolutely trust.
As for Mourinho, he seems to want to vent all the anger he received on the court on Granovskia.
The cause of the matter is also very simple. Granovskia hopes that Mourinho will explain the current situation, and his tone is not bad.
This shouldn't be too much, right?
But the Portuguese stopped doing it, and directly choked with Granovskia, directly preventing Granovskia from stepping down.
There was no way, the senior management of the club was there at the time. If Granovskia did not resist, how could she lead the team in the future?
Therefore, the final result was that the two became more and more violent, and directly fell into internal squabbles, and in the end they quarreled even more.
In this matter, Abramovich felt that Mourinho was a bit spoiled.
But the Russians know Mourinho too well, and they know very well the current situation of Chelsea.
to be honest,
If Mourinho is really fired, Chelsea will not be able to invite a famous coach at all.
Perhaps, Hiddink, who has a close personal relationship with Abramovich, would be willing to fight the fire, but he has been away from the front line of European professional football for many years, and he is no longer used to this cruel battlefield.
This is why Abramovich had the cheek to invite Mourinho back.
In today's football, there are too few famous coaches!
Therefore, in order to prevent the atmosphere from deteriorating again, Abramovich interrupted the meeting and kicked out everyone except Mourinho, Granovskia, and Bruce Barker.
"Jose, I know that the team's performance is not satisfactory recently, and you are under a lot of pressure, but you don't need to be so angry. Marina just wants to know about the team's situation."
Abramovich said neither humble nor overbearing.
Although he has to rely heavily on Mourinho now, he doesn't want to boost the Portuguese's arrogance at all.
"Her? Hmph, even if she understands, how can she help? What does she understand?" Mourinho replied with a sneer.
Granovskia was upset when he heard this, and retorted: "Yes, I don't understand. Who in the world can understand football better than you, Mourinho?"
But soon, she changed the subject, "But what do the fans say now? Even if Chelsea's head coach is sitting on a dog, it is impossible to bring the team to the relegation zone, but you did it , Great head coach!"
When Mourinho heard this, he was immediately angry, "You should be responsible for why my team fell into the relegation zone. Let me tell you, Granovskia, because it was your bad signings that caused the ball to fall into the relegation zone. The team wanted to get none of the players, which affected my team plan, you dare to say me?"
"I'm not good at signing?" Granovskia was also angry, "If you want Falcao, we will give you Falcao, but the result? He sat on the bench for three games and didn't play for a minute. , That’s a transfer worth tens of millions of pounds!”
When Abramovich heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched, it was indeed a mother's cheating.
Falcao, who was introduced with a lot of money, didn't play even a minute in the three games after he came.
But what happened?
Mourinho told the media that the team's offense is weak!
"Yes, I want Falcao, but when did you introduce him? When the season was about to start, he didn't even have the chance to train with the team, and he didn't even have time to participate in the training camp. His condition was so bad. How do you ask me to use him? You said, isn't it your responsibility? "
Mourinho also asked confidently.
"Also, I want a midfield playmaker, I want Fabregas, but what about you? Just give me a Charhanoglu, what the hell is that? It's not as good as De Bruyne, I want With this type, why would I let De Bruyne go?"
"Where's the winger? Where's Pedro? He's shining in Atletico Madrid now!"
Granovskia felt depressed, and glanced at Abramovich, no problem, this blame has to be borne.
However, her mouth was not subdued at all.
"Yes, I didn't bring in Fabregas, but we brought in Rakitic, strengthened the team's midfield, we lost Pedro, but we brought in Cuadrado, but you? You used Do they? How do you use Quadrado?"
"When you face the reporters and the media, you put it nicely, and you are all shirking responsibility, but have you ever thought about why the team spent so much money to bring in these players, why didn't you use them?"
"You can't look down on Lukaku, even if the striker is in short supply, you can't look down on him, but he has performed so well outside; and De Bruyne, you also didn't look down on him back then, But what about now? He went to Inter Milan, and immediately flourished, played well for half a season, and was the best player in three consecutive games in the new season."
"Now it's Cuadrado, right?"
Abramovich felt a pain in his heart when he heard it again, it was indeed cheating.
In the case of Lukaku, why Falcao must be introduced is a very puzzling question.
But if you want to introduce Falcao, the players come and help the team, then forget it.
But the question now is, after Falcao came, you let him sit on the bench?
Dude, are you rich and willful? Or are you playing me on purpose?
As for letting De Bruyne go, Abramovich is so regretful now that his intestines are green!
Quadrado, who was expected to be high before the season, came to Chelsea and played three consecutive games as a substitute. The total game time was just half an hour, and he made no contribution at all.
If he was bought for more than three million pounds, then Granovskia can't say much.
But Cuadrado was bought for more than 30 million pounds, so why can't you use it and give him some trust and support?
Mourinho looked at Granovskia with a gloomy face, and then at the ugly Abramovich, Huo Di stood up immediately, "Then you mean, I am not worthy of coaching This team, right?"
Granovskia was at a loss for words, unable to answer.
Abramovich also jumped in his heart, Mourinho was his last resort.
Just when the Russian wanted to come forward to resolve it, the Portuguese waved his hand, "It's okay, you can do whatever you like, you can figure it out yourself!"
After speaking, the Portuguese madman turned and left.
"He...he...he is confident!" Granovskia was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
And Bruce Buck, who hadn't spoken all this time, said calmly, "His contract has three and a half years left!"
This is like a basin of cold water poured on the head of the angry Abramovich.
is not that right?
At the beginning, Chelsea invited Mourinho back and entrusted him with important tasks, hoping that he could transform Chelsea, so they gave him a five-year long contract with an annual salary of up to 10 million pounds.
If he is fired at this time, in addition to paying a liquidated damages, he will have to pay his salary.
That's more than 30 million pounds!
The cost of firing a head coach is too high!
Abramovich feels very sad now, and really feels like he has put a magic spell on himself.
He never thought that Mourinho would toss Chelsea to this point.
What's even more frightening is that he is now making enemies everywhere. The Premier League professional football has offended a lot of people. Even the players in Chelsea's dressing room are very dissatisfied with him, making it unclear whether the team's performance can improve.
Regardless of the fact that Chelsea is now ranked second to last, it is still one rank higher than Liverpool.
However, in the eyes of professionals, the current Chelsea is a veritable deputy squad leader.
Liverpool played against the top three teams in the Premier League in the first three rounds. Losing is not a big deal. As long as Rodgers scores as many points as possible against weaker teams, the top four in the league may not be able to win. , but at least the middle and upper reaches are no problem.
But what about Chelsea?
Among the teams that played against each other in the first three rounds, there were no strong teams in the top four.
According to the normal plan, these three games should all be won.
But now, not only did he fail to win, but he even lost.
It's so fucking cheating!
In this comparison, Chelsea's situation is much worse than Liverpool's.
Abramovich has an urge to go berserk, he is even wondering, what can he do to help the team get out of the current predicament?
"By the way, Marina!" Abramovich turned to Granovskia.
"Today is the last day of the transfer period, how did your talk with Everton go yesterday?"
Granovskia shook his head, "Elstone still hasn't let go, and has repeatedly said that Stones is not for sale."
After a pause, Granovskia said again: "However, I received news that Everton has loaned midfielders Prouse and Andres Pereira from Southampton. Stone talked with Yang Huan personally."
"They really want to introduce Stones?" Abramovich frowned.
It was published in the newspaper before that Yang Huan had a meal with Elstone. At that time, the media believed that Southampton wanted to attack Stones after selling Harvey Martinez.
This is not surprising, because after leaving Harvey Martinez, the Saints are left with three central defenders, Varane, Laporte and Nastasic, and there is only one Varane in the right central defender. The introduction of Stones is undoubtedly a great addition.
"This... I'm not very clear about it, but it is indeed possible!" Granovskia said worriedly.
The player Stones has been highly praised, and many people think that he is very similar to Ferdinand back then.
In today's Premier League, local players are generally not as popular as foreign players, so local places are very important.
For a star like Stones who has the strength to be the main force and support the local banner, but also can occupy the number of local players, has a certain appeal in the country, and is even the future core main force that the national team will focus on training. give up easily?
Chelsea has been operating Stones' transfer throughout the summer. It can be said that for this transfer, the team has invested a lot of effort.
If at the last moment, he was cut off by Southampton, it would be really cheating!
Thinking of this, Abramovich waved his hand, "Marina, make arrangements for me immediately. I will go to Liverpool this afternoon and talk to them in person!"
