Chapter 1013 Only Allowed to Win, Not Allowed to Lose!
Unlike the Spanish media that focused on the turmoil in Barcelona, the British media paid more attention to the news of Chelsea and Ancelotti getting together in the Champions League final, and whether the blues’ bitter master Yang Yang will score again in the final.
A year ago, Ancelotti was dismissed from Chelsea in disarray. He didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to the players in the dressing room. On the bus returning to London after the team's away game, he received a message from the club's management. get out of class dismissal order.
This incident caused an uproar at the time. Everyone was angry at Chelsea's behavior and believed that they lacked the minimum respect for the manager. Even Ferguson publicly criticized Chelsea's practice.
At that time, Abramovich fired Ancelotti because he felt that under Ancelotti's coaching, he could not see that Chelsea had any hope of winning the championship, especially the Champions League.
Times have changed, and a year later, Ancelotti led Real Madrid to the final.
Of course, Chelsea also entered the final, but it was not Ancelotti's successor Boas, but the Italian coach Di Matteo who put out the fire halfway in March. More importantly, Chelsea is currently ranked in the Premier League. The sixth place can be said to have basically lost the qualification to compete for the Champions League next season.
In other words, unless they win the Champions League, Chelsea will not even be able to play the Europa League next season.
This is also the reason why Chelsea have tried their best to hit the Champions League in recent times.
Moreover, with the aging of a number of players such as Drogba, the reorganization of Chelsea this summer is imperative, but at this critical moment, Abramovich began to tighten his money and refused to increase the team lineup. The investment is undoubtedly quite worrying, and many media even revealed that this will be Chelsea's last chance to hit the Champions League.
...
The Guardian published a special feature to explain to readers the grievances between Abramovich's Chelsea and Real Madrid's Yang Yang and Ancelotti, and revealed many things that were previously unknown to the outside world. the truth.
Not to mention the entanglement between Yang Yang and Chelsea, when he chose Liverpool, it has always been evidence that fans used to criticize and ridicule Abramovich. This time, it was Ancelotti who really caught the eye.
According to the Guardian reporter, as early as 2008, Chelsea had two meetings with Ancelotti, when the Blues had just fired Mourinho, but the interesting thing is that this should have been a confidential meeting. However, it was quickly revealed by the media after the meeting, and then Chelsea used this as an excuse to refuse to contact Ancelotti again and chose Scolari.
In the summer of 2009, Chelsea fired Scolari and re-contacted Ancelotti, but at that time Ancelotti always cared about Real Madrid and wanted to coach the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship, but it was a pity that Real Madrid chose Benitet at that time. In the end, Ancelotti went to Chelsea, for which he also went to the Netherlands to study English.
In everyone's eyes, Ancelotti's first season in charge of Chelsea was undoubtedly a success, because of the double, but the Guardian broke the news that this was not the case, because as early as the beginning of the season, Ancelotti's team After a five-game winning streak at the start, they lost 3-1 away to Wigan Athletic. As a result, the next day, Abramovich publicly put pressure on Ancelotti at the training ground for an explanation.
Subsequently, similar things appeared repeatedly, especially after Chelsea were eliminated from the Champions League, Abramovich put a lot of pressure on Ancelotti, and in the end the team won the Premier League and the FA Cup. He won a trophy and became one of the few double champions in English football history, but he still failed to gain the trust of Abramovich.
"The boss always feels that the team's ability to win the double after the season is more due to his supervision, and Ancelotti is more just to provide a little help." A Chelsea internal management source who did not want to be named revealed. .
And this unstable relationship intensified in Ancelotti's second year in charge. First, Ancelotti's requested summer transfer failed to be supported, while the team's aging became more and more serious. By November , Ancelotti has always been at the top of the list, but after the 0-2 loss to Liverpool, assistant coach Wilkins was ordered by Abramovich to sack.
"Ancelotti believes that this is a warning from the boss to express his dissatisfaction with the loss to Liverpool." An insider revealed, "Because during the whole process of firing Wilkins, Ancelotti was completely deceived. In the dark, and then, the club management arranged for Emenalo to join Ancelotti's coaching team to play a supervisory role."
"In fact, Emenalo used to be a scout, good at examining players and analyzing opponents, but never an assistant coach, and his presence has upset Ancelotti and all the players in the first team."
But Abramovich was obviously more and more disrespectful to Ancelotti, and even appeared before the game. After he trained all the players, he specially left Ancelotti and told him directly, "If this If you can't win a game, you don't have to come back to work."
"The owner said it in a sort of joking tone, but everyone knew it was his last warning, and he's always been like this because he's the owner of the team."
Unfortunately, Ancelotti's team lost to Manchester United in the subsequent game.
...
The Guardian concluded that sacking Ancelotti was not a smart decision, especially in this way, but this is not the first time Abramovich has done so, so far, no well-known coach is willing to take over. Chelsea.
After he was dismissed from Chelsea, Ancelotti immediately switched to Real Madrid. This season, he led Real Madrid to beat Barcelona in La Liga, leading the way. He reached the final of the Copa del Rey and the final of the Champions League. He is very hopeful to win the treble. .
"The Italian told the world with iron results that it was not his coaching ability, but that there were too many other factors affecting his coaching at Chelsea, especially Abramovich."
The Guardian also said that this will be a wonderful Champions League final, because Ancelotti will lead Real Madrid to take revenge against Chelsea.
"Yang Yang, will this [first love] that Abramovich wanted but couldn't get, will cruelly hurt the Russians again?"
…………
…………
"fart!"
On the top floor of a luxury cruise ship in London's Canary Wharf, Abramović shoved the newspapers in his hand onto the table, looking furious.
The personal assistant Marina Granovsky, who was sitting opposite him, was also trembling and didn't dare to let out the air.
At this time, whoever comes forward will be unlucky.
"How could the Guardian know such details? Even the details are clearly reported. Where did they get the information?" Abramović's eyes flashed a little bit, "There must be an insider in our club, Someone must be tipping off the media, check it out for me immediately, and you must find out the truth for me."
Granovsky looked at his nose and his heart with his eyes, and still didn't say a word, but his mind turned quickly.
Chaney ghost?
This is not a good idea.
Modern football and the media are like twins, interdependent. Although the media is highly dependent on the club's news to promote sales, in fact, the club often needs to use the media to achieve some goals, such as transfer testing, or other aspects. Pressure, and cover up some news that you don’t want to be known by the outside world.
The British media is highly developed, and it is no longer a big secret that Premier League players have close contacts with media practitioners. It is like Lampard and Martin Samuel of the Daily Mail have a good relationship, and Terry, who also has a lot of votes Best friend of media practitioners.
If you want to find out who leaked the news, you must suspect everyone. In the end, you often find nothing, and instead offend the players in vain. This is always the stupidest decision in internal management.
Of course, in this case, Granovsky would definitely not dare to say it, she only had to be obedient, which was the reason why she was able to stay by Abramovich's side for so many years and her status was still rising.
Abramovich is undoubtedly an extremely domineering person with a strong desire to control. Anyone who can become the world's top rich man like him has a strong personality, but this does not mean that he will lose his mind.
Fired Mourinho, fired Ancelotti and Boas, etc., just because in his eyes, these people are nothing, he believes that in the world of professional football, no money can't buy it Yes, the key is whether he wants to buy it or not.
And now, he was only in a moment of anger, and after venting, he quickly regained his senses.
"Marina." Abramović turned around and shouted.
"Boss." Granovsky hurriedly got out of the statue and replied immediately.
"You go to the club first and tell them, no matter what, you can't lose this Champions League final for me. I want to win. If they dare to lose, then they don't have to go back to Chelsea!" Abramovich gritted his teeth. said.
"Understood," Granovsky agreed.
That's really Abramovich's style, he's said that more than once and to more than one person.
It's like the boss of a company, it's normal to say this to a department head whose performance can satisfy him.
The only difference is that the team's head coach and player names are louder.
But sometimes, it is actually a very happy thing to fire these stars who are unattainable in the eyes of fans.
"Tell Buck and let him keep an eye on me. I will personally supervise the Champions League final, and I can't lose no matter what. I want to see the team kill Real Madrid at the Allianz Stadium!" Abramovich said fiercely.
He never mentioned Yang Yang or Ancelotti from beginning to end, but Granovsky knew very well that Abramović was angry because of these two people.
Just meeting in the final made the British media a lot of hype. If Real Madrid really stepped on Chelsea's corpse and won the three consecutive championships, wouldn't Abramovich be the laughing stock of others forever?
This is unacceptable to the Russians anyway.
In this battle, Chelsea can only win, not lose!
