Chapter 349: Fig leaf


When Southampton and his entourage, carrying the honor of the first League Cup in the club’s history, returned to Southampton to accept the cheers of fans in this harbor city, a flight from Naples, Italy back to London, but Looks lifeless, unspeakable depression.
  
   This is the Chelsea expedition to Italy.
  
When    went, everyone was full of confidence, but when they came back, one by one was like a rooster who had lost a fight.
  
   Naples ranks sixth in Serie A this season, and Chelsea ranks fifth in the Premier League this season.
  
   Logically speaking, the two teams are half a cat.
  
   But the problem is that Serie A has fallen, and the Premier League has always had a certain advantage against Serie A teams. But now, the away game is zero to three. What is this?
  
   This is a shame!
  
   What a shame!
  
   is not only a shame for Chelsea, but also a shame for the Premier League!
  
   Captain Terry sat in his seat, his face cold, and did not speak.
  
   Lampard was sitting next to him, also silent.
  
   The two souls of the team have such expressions, making everyone feel a little bit cold.
  
   Chelsea have the advantage in this game, with 58% possession rate, enough for Chelsea to take the initiative, but the problem is exposed in this link of turning the advantage into shooting.
  
   Torres was stared at by the Naples players throughout the game. Not only did he make no contribution, but also wasted the opportunity created by Adam Lallana time and time again.
  
   Napoli's 352 tactics put Chelsea's midfielder into trouble.
  
  Bó The weak midfield defense has given Napoli offensive players the opportunity to directly face the defense again and again.
  
   If it weren't for Terry and Benatia to play well, they would definitely not only lose three goals!
  
   Lost a zero to three away in the first round. Everyone knows what it means.
  
   In a silence like dead silence, a heavy cough awakened all the players.
  
   I saw the team owner Abramovich led the crowd into the cabin where the players were.
  
   The Russian was followed by Granovsky and Chairman Bruce Buck.
  
   "Boss!"
  
   "Boss!"
  
   Everyone suddenly stood up, including the players.
  
   It's just that the yelling sound seemed very weak.
  
   The Russian raised his right hand and waved in the air a few times, trying to say something, but could not say it.
  
   Everyone present can feel his mood at this moment.
  
  He is going to be crazy!
  
   "Who can tell me why this is happening?"
  
   Finally, he said it out, but his tone was not as expected by the volcanic eruption, but rather calm.
  
   But it seems that there is a knife hidden in the words, he wants to cut through the fog with one knife.
  
   "Before the game, everyone said that we could win, but why instead of winning, we lost so badly? Why?"
  
   Abramović pointed at everyone present and paused every word, particularly hard.
  
"tell me why?"
  
   Everyone in the room remained silent, and many of them even lowered their heads.
  
   They have a guilty conscience!
  
  For example, Spain striker Torres!
  
   Since joining Chelsea, he has been like Shevchenko before, completely plunged into a downturn, and has never recovered the invincible scoring momentum he had in Liverpool.
  
  A striker who can't score, but with a high salary and worth up to 60 million, can he not be guilty?
  
   The head coach Boas looked at the players. He felt that at this time, as the head coach, he should stand up.
  
   Protecting players is also one of the duties of a head coach.
  
   "Boss, actually we still have..."
  
   Who knows, as soon as he spoke, Abramovich roared!
  
   "You shut up immediately for me!"
  
   This roar, not only scared all the players in the cabin to raise their heads, they looked at Abramovich with a distorted expression in disbelief, and at Boas who was stunned by the roar.
  
   "From now on, you, don't step into Cobham and Stamford Bridge anymore, I don't want to see you again!"
  
   Abramovich pointed at Boas and continued to growl.
  
  His voice whirled through the cabin.
  
   Boas is very young, but he has coached for many years. First, he was shocked by Abramovich's roar, but soon he woke up, said nothing, turned and walked out of the cabin.
  
   Obviously, the moment the plane landed, it was when he left the Chelsea coach!
  
   Everyone was frightened by this sudden change.
  
   Is the head coach of the team to be fired?
  
  Boas dismissed get out of class. This is not surprising. The question is, who will take over the team in the future?
  
   "I am ashamed of you!"
  
   Abramovich coldly dropped such a sentence, turned around and walked out.
  
   The Chelsea players in the cabin were left behind, and they were not completely removed from the shock just now.
  
   Terry and Lampard were the first to react because they are the soul of the team.
  
  Abramovich would not touch anyone easily.
  
   They know the problems of the team better than anyone else.
  
   After all, Torres is not used to it, and it is not happening now. It has existed since the transfer in the second half of last season.
  
   But why, when the summer transfer, do everything possible to force Drogba away?
  
  Look at the state of Warcraft in Southampton, he is in full swing with Ibrahimovic playing a goal match!
  
   Even if Drogba was sent away, he thought he was old, but Sturridge?
  
   Why can't this hope star be kept?
  
   There is a problem in the midfield, everyone knows this, but why not leave Matic?
  
   The performance of the Serbian midfielder in the Netherlands is obvious to all. Leaving him can strengthen the team's strength, why not stay?
  
   If you say that you sold someone, that’s nothing wrong.
  
   But after you sell it, you have to bring in strong support!
  
   Are you wrong!
  
   After all, the team has come to today because the operation in the transfer market is so bad!
  
   The players in the cabin were full of controversy, but did not dare to say anything.
  
   Abramovich, who walked out of the cabin, was also furious, but had nowhere to vent.
  
   Of course he knew the problem, but he couldn't admit it.
  
   He also knew that after sending away Drogba, sending away Matic and Sturridge, Chelsea should sign up.
  
   But the problem is, he has no money!
  
   He was hollowed out by that Yang Huan!
  
Adam Lallana and Benatia cost him 70 million pounds, a Tony Cross cost him 60 million pounds, plus Drogba, Sturridge and Matic’s salary. .
  
   It is close to 150 million pounds!
  
   His mother, no matter how fast he digs for oil in Siberia, he can't keep up with the speed of spending money!
  
   Not to mention last year’s summer transfer, and this year’s winter break, there is no money to invest.
  
   In the next two seasons, there will also be no funds to invest!
  
   Yang Huan’s move is not only sucking his blood, but also cutting his flesh!
  
   But what can he do?
  
   can only be constantly regretting, regretting how he was knocked on the head by the donkey, fainted, and ran to bet with him!
  
   "Yang Huan, one day, one day, I will strangle you to death!"
  
   Abramovich gritted his teeth and shouted in his heart.
  
  …………
  
  …………
  
   Chelsea change coach!
  
   This sudden news shocked the entire European football community and even the fans all over the world.
  
   Boas did not say anything to the outside world, Chelsea only announced that Boas was dismissed from get out of class, and the position of head coach was temporarily held by assistant coach Di Matteo.
  
   As the acting coach of Chelsea, Di Matteo made it clear in the first press conference.
  
   "The team will work hard to adjust in the next half month, and strive to reverse the situation in the second round of the Champions League round of 16 knockout. We believe that we will be able to beat each other at Stamford Bridge!"
  
  How about actually?
  
   On March 14th, Chelsea was sitting at Stamford Bridge and greeted Mazzari's bliss.
  
Make bricks without straw!
  
   Di Matteo's team still can't get rid of the embarrassment of weakness.
  
   Although the referee gave Chelsea a penalty, Lampard made a penalty and took the lead.
  
   But Naples quickly evened the score, and in the end the two sides drew one to one.
  
   As a result, Naples eliminated Chelsea with a total score of 4-1.
  
   At the same time, in another round of 16 knockout, Arsenal ushered in Milan at home.
  
   Back at home, Wenger changed his mind and reused the local winger Chamberlain, who was introduced at a high price from Southampton this season.
  
   is precisely this young player, leading the horn of Arsenal.
  
   Two assists helped Arsenal beat Milan 3-0 at home.
  
   But in the end, the Italian Rossoneri still eliminated Arsenal with a total score of four to three.
  
  The UEFA Champions League has reached the top sixteen, and the four teams in the Premier League have been annihilated!
  
   Early the next morning, almost all the authoritative newspapers in England were full of sadness.
  
   The authoritative Times used a black and white page to show its condolences for the annihilation of the English Premier League.
  
   What is the reason that the tyrannical Premier League has fallen to a collapse that is inferior to Serie A?
  
   Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, these are the most powerful teams in England in more than a decade.
  
   Why did you lose so embarrassed?
  
   What happened to the Premier League?
  
   The news spread through newspapers and the media, and the whole of Britain suddenly became a cloud of gloom.
  
  Countless fans even wept bitterly.
  
   They were all in their hearts and couldn't help but wailing.
  
   Is it true that English football is really going to decline?
  
   Is it true that the Premier League, which claims to be the most profitable football league in the world, really does not work?
  
   No, there is still a chance!
  
   There is also a fig leaf, right?
  
   Europa League!
  
  Aren't both Manchester United and Manchester City still in the Europa League?
  
  Since the Champions League can't be won, then take a Europa League, at least it can cover up!
  
   So, countless Premier League fans have turned their attention to the second round of the Europa League knockout round of the next day.
  
   In the first round of the game earlier, Southampton suffered a 1-1 draw at home by Valencia, Manchester United was defeated by Athletic Bilbao in La Liga 2-3 at home, and Manchester City lost to Sporting Lisbon 1-1 at home.
  
   Judging from this score, Southampton has the least hope and the opponent's strength is also the strongest.
  
  Because of the strength of the Bats, everyone knows ~EbookFREE.me~ It is difficult to get opponents at home, and it is even more hopeless to go to the away game.
  
   Although Manchester United lost at home, but with Manchester United's strength, the away game may not have no hope.
  
   As long as Ferguson and the Red Devils can adjust up and down, it is not difficult to kill Athletic Bilbao.
  
   As for Manchester City, it's normal to lose a zero to one away game. Return to home to reverse the opponent, with the best hope.
  
   Three teams, three fates.
  
   Southampton has the least hope of advancing, and it is the British championship team. Manchester United followed closely, and Manchester City has the best hope.
  
   Therefore, the entire English football world began to pay attention to this round of the Europa League knockout round that was not valued.
  
   Many fans even appealed, hoping that Manchester United and Manchester City can come up with the best conditions, can do their best to compete for the Europa League and stop the decline of the Premier League.
  
   The media also paid unprecedented attention to the match between Manchester United and Manchester City. Newspapers, TV stations and radio stations of all sizes have sent teams to station.
  
  Countless fans also sat in front of the TV, waiting for the latest progress and results of the game!
  
   March 15, 2012, 18 o'clock.
  
   Manchester United away to Athletic Bilbao, Manchester City vs. Sporting Lisbon.
  
   Two games ignited the war at the same time!
