Vol 5 Chapter 243: 1 surprise

Next is the 21st round of the league, Chelsea ushered in the North London Derby.
This season, a coincidence happened. Fulham's advanced ball game was undefeated. Chelsea never conceded the ball and never lost. The result was 2 to 2 in the field.
Chelsea faced a crisis of difficulty in winning!
What made Mourinho even more worried was that the staff was in disorder. John Terry had the operation and Cech could n’t come back. Robben was recovering. What ’s more, Joe Cole ’s injury changed and he might be absent. All season.
After the draw with Fulham, Mourinho revealed the bad news, "Joe Cole, I think his injury may not be old, at least not this season. He has a severe fracture, I have n’t decided whether to have surgery or not. I do n’t know what he thinks, but time is pressing. Our doctor ’s advice to him is surgery, and we still have to wait for his own decision.

The news hit Chelsea not badly.
Joe Cole ’s technical characteristics are unique in Chelsea. He is the slowest among the wingers but the best in-situ protection and control of the ball. It does not require too much space and can stabilize the ball even if a multi-person is included. There was a chance inside, there were players like Chelsea with such characteristics as Good Jansen, but now Mourinho has lost both of them.
If Joe Cole is absent for the entire season, it means some kind of imbalance in Chelsea's attacking lineup.
For Fulham, Mourinho may have no choice but to restore the diamond 442 formation. Joe Cole and Robben are injured, Wright Phillips is not as good as the bench in the starting lineup, Shepchenko's state is difficult to gain trust, Drogba Kakarau is a forced combination.
After two consecutive draws, Mourinho could no longer say something like "We are still strong contenders" after Arsenal. In fact, the media believe that Chelsea have also lost hope of competing for the championship.
Chelsea and Manchester City already have a difference of 7 points, but the important thing is not 7 points, but Chelsea's lineup, injury to each general, so Mourinho can not even discharge a strong starting lineup. The team has problems both in defense and offense. It is a continuous game with the small ball and a tie. The situation and results are frustrating.
Simultaneously. Perhaps another issue is also an important reason for Mourinho and even Chelsea's low profile.
During the Christmas period, Russia's political situation has undergone tremendous changes. Due to government policy adjustments, Russia has begun to strengthen the liquidation of some remaining oligarchs in the country.
Abramovich is one of Russia's oligarchs, even though he is an old friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin. But he understands that ‘there is no eternal friend, no eternal enemy, only eternal interests’. When liquidation was to be carried out in Russia, Abramovich ’s industry in Russia was greatly affected.
There are many requests in Russia to denounce him and to "examine" his old accounts.
At this moment, Abramovich must keep a low profile, he does not want to enter the footsteps of his two "comrades".
Khodorkovsky, the former richest man in Russia and an oil and banking oligarch in Russia, was sentenced to 8 years in 2005 for four counts of stealing state property, fraud, maliciously violating court rulings and tax evasion, and now Still squatting in a Russian political prison.
Berezovsky is also an example. Since the new Russian President Putin took office in 2000, Berezovsky immediately became the target of the Putin regime.
Berezovsky was charged with a number of financial fraud and corruption charges. In desperation, he resigned from the State Duma, a member of the lower house of parliament, who was granted criminal immunity, and went to France. He settled in the United Kingdom last year and continued Engaged in activities against the Russian government.
Berezovsky refused to succumb and formed the political party "Free Russia", carrying allegations of theft of the country and embezzling huge amounts of property of the enterprise, and Berezovsky sold the property. To avoid prosecution, he immigrated to the UK in 2001 and sought political asylum.
Since then, Berezovsky has been wanted by the Russian police.
Just a dozen days ago, a major event happened. A close friend of Berezovsky and former Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko died after drinking a cup of tea believed to contain a large amount of radioactive substance polonium-210 at a hotel in London, which further deteriorated the relationship between Russia and the United Kingdom. .
This news also caused Abramovich to have to 'be a low-key person'.
After Christmas, Abramovich was openly interviewed by media reporters for the first time.
He mainly talked about three points. First, the Chelsea club is about to adopt a fiscal austerity strategy.
It ’s hard to say, maybe our policy is too aggressive. Our investment in the transfer market will be reduced in the coming years. Is the main policy. "
In the understanding of the British media, it is believed that after selling the Siberian oil company and resigning as Governor of Chukotka, Abu must give Putin a clear impression: he is still a patriotic Russian.
Therefore, Abu's holding of state-owned steel companies, investment and sponsorship of the Russian national team, and reduced investment in Chelsea are the inevitable result of this thinking.
After the treason Litvinenko was executed by Russian agents "radioactive", Putin's warning was obvious: Although most of Abu's assets are abroad, there is no doubt that investment must be based on domestic. At this time, Abu Ramovic ’s fiscal austerity strategy is to give Putin a clear stance.
At the same time, Abu also publicly denied for the first time that Chelsea would initiate or participate in the so-called "European Super League" plan. This is a clear signal: just like Chelsea's austerity transfer to the money, it shows that the Chelsea people, who have always been arrogant and surly, began to seek to follow the existing rules.
At least, no new challenges will be launched against the current order.
The second point, Abramovich emphasized that he is not a ‘chao Qin Mu Chu’ club for Chelsea.
I am a born fan and I am very interested in every game. Trophies are not as important as the process.

Abu has spoken tirelessly through a spokesperson of his continued policy towards Chelsea. Now speaking by myself, it is not only a counterattack against the ex-employee's disclosure of his old and new hate, but also the best comment on the previous establishment of a risk fund for Chelsea. He even ridiculed the reporter of the Observer newspaper: "As a bystander (same word as the observer), bringing fans happiness will make him happier."
Finally, Abramovich talked about the most important ‘philanthropy’,
This must not be neglected.

Is charity the duty of Russian oligarchs?
"Charity is not as simple as feeding pigeons in the square. Charity is a very complicated business that requires career planning."
Both the reporter and Abramovich used the most space to prove their charitable investment in Chukotka. How important it is. Abramovich's metaphor is vivid: charity is not about feeding pigeons in the square, it is a complicated professional management.
"I will increase my investment in charity in Russia. The Russian people have given me everything. I should also use charity to reward the people."
Abramovich made his attitude clear.
Abramovich's attitude also affected the entire Chelsea club. After Christmas, even the coach Mourinho changed his high-profile, and the voice was lowered, so the voice of the Premier League transfer market has followed a lot of calm.
—
The changes in the Russian political situation have affected the Chelsea club. Both have nothing to do with Manchester City Club and Wansheng, but a very important point is that Wansheng can be sure that there will be fewer opponents this season.
Chelsea is completely hopeless in the second half of the schedule.
If it was Chelsea before, the lack of lineup will definitely increase investment in the winter transfer, then they may spend huge amounts of introducing stars to supplement the lineup, and in the second half, they can still compete for the league championship.
It is different now.
Abramovich was temporarily unable to increase investment, and the Chelsea team continued to suffer injuries. Bringing a lot of crises to the team, then it is very difficult for them to want to guarantee the results.
Now Chelsea and Manchester City have opened a gap of 7 points, 7 points is enough to become an insurmountable gap!
So Manchester City has only one opponent left in the league, Manchester United.
Soon into January, the 22nd round of the league also followed. Manchester City ushered in Everton at home. After a 90-minute contest, Manchester City defeated Everton 2: 1 and successfully scored three points. .
This is just a very ordinary game, but after the game, Manchester City media started to overwhelmingly report. Because Manchester City won the league's "seven consecutive wins" after winning.
At the same time, Wan Sheng was also elected as the ‘Best Coach of the Month’ in December due to his performance of leading the team in December.
This is more than happy.
What's more surprising is behind. On the second day of the 22nd Premier League, they competed on the second match day. In the end, Manchester United drew 2: 2 away with Newcastle United and only took one point at St James Park Stadium.
Manchester City's advantage over Manchester United has expanded to 6 points.
After this round, the Manchester City media overwhelmingly reported on Manchester City, and also talked about Manchester United's draw. They used an excited tone to tell the readers how Manchester City achieved a 'seven straight win'. How Manchester City surpassed Manchester United by 6 points, it looks like Manchester City has won the league title.
Manchester United Media is completely different.
Manchester United actually performed well, but Manchester City performed better, so by comparison, they are nothing.
So the Manchester United media can only lament Manchester United's achievements, help Manchester United find various reasons for losing and tying, while constantly picking Manchester City's problems, and talk about the negative attitude and 'utility' of Manchester City's victory over Manchester United. In appearance, they even called on all England to boycott Manchester City and Mansion ~ EbookFREE.me ~ They seem to want to sweep the Premier League and every team needs to be vigilant. This young China will do whatever it takes to win! "
This kind of criticism and boycotts have no effect at all, because even if they prove that Wan Sheng is ‘utilitarian’, they will not be able to obliterate Manchester United ’s loss of Manchester Derby, and they will prevail in the league ’s top competition.
Wan Shengcai no matter how the media reported it, now Manchester City occupy the top spot, pulling down the second place Manchester United 6 points, no matter what the media said is useless.
He is the winner.
The victor should be demeanor. Others will scream desperately and say something that defames Manchester City or defame him, but it is just the anger of the loser. He does not have to argue with them.
So whenever faced with the media, or even with Manchester United media, Wan Sheng just smiled, not moving at all, he enjoyed the feeling of making the other party's media angry.
Wansheng is now qualified. (To be continued.)
