Episode【522】: A Blacksmith Needs to Be Tough

Carlo Ancelotti's office at Chelsea's training base in London, England.

Carlo Ancelotti called his assistants over for a meeting.

Now the Premier League has reached the most critical final round of games. This last game is related to whether Chelsea can win the Premier League championship this season. This is an issue that must be taken seriously.

To be honest, Abramovich originally invited Carlo Ancelotti to coach Chelsea for the UEFA Champions League title. But when they first arrived, the Chelsea team led by Mancini had problems in the Champions League and was eliminated early.

Carlo Ancelotti is not secure as Chelsea coach now.

Now Abramovich is no longer as steady and patient as he was in previous years. Now he is eager to see success. After all, it has been so many years since he took over the Chelsea club, seven years, but Chelsea still has not been able to win a Champions League championship. This makes him very dissatisfied, angry, and very anxious.

Look at that crazy Loya, how many years has it been since he joined Leeds United in 2004? How is the current performance of the club? Not only did they win three consecutive Premier League titles, they also won the UEFA Cup, the UEFA Champions League and the European Super Cup. This was a grand slam.

With comparison, there is harm!

No wonder Abramovich is so impatient and anxious now.

Even though Carlo Ancelotti is a world-famous coach, he is also a former European champion coach. As long as you don't meet Abramovich's requirements, you are ready to get out at any time!

It's hard to find a two-legged toad in this world, but a two-legged head coach is very easy to find. If you can't do it, of course there are others who can.

Therefore, it is now widely rumored that Carlo Ancelotti's career as Chelsea head coach is coming to an end, and Abramovich is preparing to fire him.

Of course, there are many outsiders who claim that this Premier League champion is Carlo Ancelotti's life-saving straw. If Chelsea can beat Leeds United to win the Premier League title, Abramovich may give Carlo Ancelotti another season. But if Carlo Ancelotti loses to Leeds United this time and loses the Primrose League championship this season, then Carlo Ancelotti will really be fired.

Regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, Carlo Ancelotti is in a very difficult situation.

Carlo Ancelotti attaches great importance to this Premier League championship. He must win at least one championship in his first year after joining Chelsea, so that he can reflect his value, and he also wants Chelsea people to show his The strength comes.

Only in this way can they cooperate better, if Chelsea really loses all four players this season. Even if Abramovich does not fire him next season, his full strength will definitely be reduced. At that time, Abramovich will even point fingers at the team. These are Carlo Ancelotti Don't want to see it.

Now Carlo Ancelotti is making the best preparations for this championship.

In this game, Carlo Ancelotti not only wants to win, but also wants to win beautifully and get more goal difference.

Of course, the good news now is that Chelsea's opponent is Sheffield Wednesday.

It is said that Sheffield Wednesday chairman Cramer and Zhong Cheng have a huge grudge and hatred. Kramer has made it clear that his club would rather not qualify for next season's European competition than prevent Leeds United from winning the Premier League title this season.

If Kramer's words are true, then Chelsea don't have to worry about this game. They are bound to win this game.

Carlo Ancelotti stared at the assistants in front of him and said: "Do you know why I called you here?"

Carlo Ancelotti's assistant Paul Clement immediately said: "Of course, it must be for this last round of the Premier League!"

Carlo Ancelotti nodded slightly and said: "Yes! What do you think of this game? Tell us!"

The coaches of the Chelsea team were different from the coaches of the Manchester City team. They all spoke enthusiastically and expressed their opinions. The atmosphere in Carlo Ancelotti's office was heated for a while.

Ancelotti nodded slightly, fully agreeing with his assistants' views.

Finally, Carlo Ancelotti looked at his right-hand assistant Paul Clement.

Paul Clement immediately said: "Boss, the atmosphere of this game is actually very complicated. This round of games involves many teams. In particular, we are also paying attention to the Champions League qualifications and UEFA Champions League qualifications. To qualify for the European League, I think we can’t trust others too casually!”

Carlo Ancelotti nodded slightly, stared at Paul Clement and said: "You mean Kramer can't be trusted?"

Paul Clement immediately nodded and said: "I think this is very likely that Kramer deliberately let us relax our vigilance, and then gave us a fatal blow to Chelsea, hoping to win and compete for the Champions League qualification next season. "

Carlo Ancelotti pondered slightly, seeming to be thinking.

Paul Clement continued: "Boss, you have to know that Kramer invested a lot of money in Sheffield Wednesday. And at the beginning, the slogan he shouted was to put Leeds United Step on your feet, become the only football representative of Yorkshire, and build Sheffield Wednesday into a giant, super giant!"

Carlo Ancelotti nodded slightly, he had heard of this matter.

Paul Clement immediately said: "Since he has such great ideals, it is obvious that he will not give up qualifying for the European War next season. Because obtaining this qualification is his best result since taking over Sheffield Wednesday. It can also bring Sheffield Wednesday's status to a higher level, get closer to Leeds United, and have a chance to surpass Leeds United. If they give up this qualification, then when will they be able to complete Kramer's Ambitious?”

Carlo Ancelotti kept nodding, thinking his assistant was right. This is to the point. For these people, personal hatred is not as important as the overall interests of the team. Not to mention a team chairman like Cramer, is personal grudges more important at this time, or is the team's interests and the team's ambitions more important?

It doesn't take much thinking to know that the team's interests and team's ambitions must be more important.

Carlo Ancelotti has figured it out. Kramer is really a cunning villain. He actually dug a hole for him at this time. Their Carlo Ancelotti really almost fell for it.

Carlo Ancelotti nodded slightly and said: "Paul's words make sense, and I agree with him. I also think that Sheffield Wednesday will not give up the opportunity to go to the Champions League so easily. This carat Mo is really a thoughtful guy!"

Other Chelsea coaches agree with Paul Clement.

Carlo Ancelotti immediately said: "Our opponent Sheffield Wednesday is still very strong. They can reach fifth place in the Premier League this season, which explains a lot of problems. Especially their Coach Di Matteo is the proud disciple of Crazy Loya, he has learned a lot from Crazy Loya, he is very difficult to deal with!"

Paul Clement also nodded slightly, feeling slightly envious in his heart.

Look, what are the guys who have been assistant coaches around Zhong Cheng doing now?

Brendan Rodgers left Leeds United very early and went to Leyton Orient, which was still in the English League One. He then led the team to successive promotions and then to the Premier League. This season, as a newly promoted team, they directly reached the fourth position in the league, which really shocked many people's attention.

Talking about Di Matteo, he left Leeds United at the beginning of this season and went directly to Sheffield Wednesday and became the team's head coach. In just one season, he has led the team to the fifth position in the Premier League. He and his fellow student Brendan Rodgers compete for qualifications for the UEFA Champions League next season. His strength is really extraordinary.

Looking at Albertini who is now next to Zhong Cheng, although this guy has not yet said that he will leave Leeds United. But now many clubs have extended an olive branch to Albertini, hoping that Albertini can come out to coach their teams.

Even Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is next to Zhong Cheng, has been booked, giving Van Nistelrooy one or two years, and then preparing to invite him to coach the team.

Seeing these assistant coaches of Leeds United, Paul Clement is really envious. When will he be able to have such treatment and coach a team alone?

Sure enough, Crazy Loya is not a good teacher, otherwise he would not be able to teach so many excellent coaches. It's a pity that due to bad luck, I couldn't become his assistant. Of course, Paul Clement is also lucky to be Carlo Ancelotti's assistant now. He believes that he will soon have such a day.

Paul Clement immediately said: "Boss, there is one more thing we cannot forget. That is that the head coach of Sheffield Wednesday, Di Matteo, was once a disciple of Crazy Loya, so we believe that at this time Di Matteo will definitely not cheat Leeds United. Even if Kramer wants to give up this game, Di Matteo will definitely not give up this game. This is not just a lunatic who helps Leeds United. Luo Ya, it’s for the ambition in his heart!”

Carlo Ancelotti nodded slightly, he understood what Paul Clement meant.

Carlo Ancelotti immediately said: "So, we cannot have any intention of slacking off in this game. At the same time, we cannot leave our destiny to others. We must rely on ourselves and everything must be done." The initiative is in our own hands. We at Chelsea must not be able to live on the advice of others, you know? To make iron work, we need to be strong ourselves!"

Carlo Ancelotti has been studying Zhong Cheng over the years, and it seems that he has studied Chinese culture a lot. Otherwise, how could he know these ancient sayings so clearly?
