Chapter 1079: Two names

In the eyes of Fleet Street, Chelsea boss Abu is certainly not a patient boss.
The Russian rich man who was exposed to learn from Inter Milan boss Moratti seems to be similar to Moratti, that is, if he is not satisfied with the record, he will fire the coach.
After he bought Chelsea, he fired the opponent without meeting Ranieri, and then chose Eriksson. In the first season coached by Eriksson, that is, last season, the league was not over. When Chelsea was eliminated from the Champions League, Eriksson's fate was decided.
Now, one of the hot topics in front of Fleet Street is whether Mourinho will be out of class.
That's why I learned about the exploratory dialogue between the combination of Martin Taylor and Andy Gray.
"Martin, we must look at Mourinho's record in coaching Chelsea. Now, we just see that Chelsea led by Mourinho can't shake Millwall's rule. However, looking at it from another angle, Chelsea leads Manchester United. Arsenal, Liverpool, and the gap is very big, at the same time, Mourinho also brought Chelsea this season, the Champions League."
"Oh, Andy, you mean, Manchester United did not fire Ferguson, Arsenal did not fire Wenger, and Mourinho should actually not be fired, right?"
"There are factors in this area, but not exactly. You know, a coach will give a team his personal color. Even if Chelsea cannot win the league title this season, they are tough and tenacious, pragmatic football. The style has begun to penetrate the hearts of the people. If Chelsea invited a coach with a very different style to coach this team, then the new coach may make a very significant transformation of the team. First of all, Mourinho must be erased. The trace of this is just this, which will take a lot of time. The price of this time must be the record! Secondly, this may not only be the change of the head coach. Changing a head coach will inevitably further the team lineup. The impact of today’s main force may be swept out tomorrow. Chelsea’s staff has changed too much in the past two seasons. The locker room should be very turbulent. This development will inevitably violate the rules of football. Chelsea has the financial resources to accelerate them. To succeed, but if you violate the rules of football to build a team, you will not have good fruit."
...
Coincidentally, when the commentator was discussing whether Mourinho's could still sit in the position of Chelsea coach, Abu was also communicating with Kenyon in the stands of Stamford Bridge.
After Chelsea were tied by Arsenal at home in the last round, Abu almost did not expect the Chelsea league title this season.
It is not that his enthusiasm and support for Chelsea is not enough. After spending a lot of money for two consecutive years, no one can question his enthusiasm for running Chelsea. However, he is more realistic and will not dream with empty idealism.
For example, Fleet Street made a probabilistic prediction before the start of the round. The probability of Millwall winning the championship is as high as 93.7%, and Chelsea winning the championship is only 6.3%. I don’t know how they count or make such a prediction, but, just Such an almost one-sided prediction coincides with Abu's inner thoughts.
If Chelsea can win the championship, then the is a miracle!
In the first three matches of this season, Chelsea suffered a defeat. At the most crucial time, Chelsea suddenly showed power. Who believes!
It's been almost two years since we really entered the football circle. During these two years, Abu has gradually become an amateur scouting from the "amateur scout".
He didn't seem so surprised and lost that Mourinho couldn't win Aldridge.
The reason is simple.
How strong Aldridge is, just look at the championship record in his honor book.
Why can't Chelsea beat Millwall?
It's also very simple.
Lack of strength.
Abu will not think about how profound or complicated the problem is, the facts before him are clear at a glance: our strength is not as good as the crazy lion!
In the fantasy lineup he originally envisioned, it was a team of eleven world-class superstars starting!
But in the process of implementation, he embarrassed him: a quotation of 100 million euros for Raul, but no one can buy it!
At the level of superstar players, money, although a very important part, but there are still other factors affecting the player transfer, and may play a key role, such as Raul, unwilling to go to Chelsea, even with Flo Lentino is unhappy, he still wants to stay in Bernabeu, and even sacrifices himself for the team's technical and tactics, this is the loyalty of the players.
Chelsea's attraction to superstars is not enough. Abu can only accept the compromise of reality. His biggest resource: wealth, can't play a role. Then, take the second place, buy some first-class players, and have the potential to grow into a world-class superstar. After a period of waiting, the new Chelsea can reach world-class standards.
So only looking at the lineup, Chelsea lost to Millwall, Abu has nothing to accept. Last season, he will be furious because of the fiasco at home led by Eriksson. Now, it is probably that the entry time is long. I find it unacceptable.
Millwall's star group is divided according to strength. It seems to be weaker than before, because they used to have half of the world-class stars. Only 3 players are on the field today.
Ronaldinho, Henry, Nesta.
But there was still a Nedved on the bench.
Other players, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Alonso, are already first-class players, and like De Rossi, who grew fast last season and tends to be stable this season, is considered by the outside world to be the Premier League. Two stars like Vieira, even Ram and Silva, have made great progress this season, and the growth rate is amazing.
And Chelsea?
Can be regarded as a world-class superstar by the outside world, there is only one now, Lampard!
The midfield superstar who helped England get the World Cup and the European Cup, if there is nowhere to go back to the Premier League from Inter Milan, I am afraid that he will not come to Chelsea, but just like his worth, he is now Chelsea’s highest paid Star.
But what about others?
Makelele is underestimated and not considered world-class, but it should be at least half.
Originally Ashley Cole was absolutely world-class, but this season, his worth fell!
Because he did not have a better performance on the offensive end, a defender who relies on defense alone, no matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to enter the world class!
Other players like Robben, Ribery, Drogba, Essien, Carvalho, etc. Although they look very good, compared with Millwall players in the same period, they always feel like a little worse.
So in terms of overall strength, Millwall is stronger than Chelsea, but it is not necessarily much stronger, so Millwall can leave Manchester United and Arsenal in the league without a trace, but in the penultimate round. Let Chelsea retain hope for the championship.
Abu is not satisfied or satisfied with Mourinho's work.
Mourinho didn't surprise him. A League Cup champion won the championship the next day, so there is no satisfaction.
However, Mourinho did not lead the team to a bad record, Chelsea played a valuable strength, ranked second in the league, ranked second in the standings, it is quite satisfactory, if the Champions League is not against Millwall, it may be Will go further.
Kenyon suggested that Abdo give Mourinho some time, just as the reason stated in the exchange between Martin Taylor and Andy Gray.
Chelsea can't afford it!
Who do you invite again?
Please come to a coach who has not coached in the Premier League, then this coach should be familiar with the Premier League, understand Chelsea, and put his own set into practice, even if everything is going well, when it is on the right track, the Premier League may have finished playing next season 1/ 3. Then? Chelsea may have said goodbye to the champion.
In the fierce and brutal competition of the Premier League, which is so outrageous, there is only one opponent you want to stare at: Millwall.
If the opponent does not make a mistake, you cannot make a mistake!
Abu didn't want to perform another major operation on Chelsea.
That would put the team into turmoil, and the record must be paid.
But his patience is limited, he will only give Mourinho another season.
It's not okay if your work results are just pressing the target line. Should you do something extraordinary?
At the same time, in order to narrow the gap between Chelsea and Millwall, Abu hopes to bring Chelsea one or two world-class stars in the summer!
In this way, the weak gap between Chelsea and Millwall may be able to be filled, because Chelsea's current main lineup also has room for growth. After this season, it should be stronger by next season.
In terms of player selection, the first target is naturally Millwall's players. If they can succeed, it is equivalent to directly reducing Millwall's strength.
Hearing Abu's question in a low voice, Ken Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, but did not answer. In fact, everyone knew the answer.
It is a great success for Chelsea that the three Millwall players were poached last summer, but it is impossible for the players who want to dig Millwall this summer and even continue to work in this area in the future!
why?
Because of Ashley Cole they set an example.
They didn't have such an influential success in Chelsea, which made Millwall's star unless there was nothing other than money in his eyes that would be tempting, and other stars might avoid Chelsea.
Go to Chelsea?
Looking for bad luck!
Abu probably knew that it was not realistic, so he didn't continue this topic.
Subsequently, he mentioned two names.
Kenyang showed a thoughtful expression when he heard the names of these two world-class stars.
Finally said to Abu: "We show the greatest sincerity and do our best to bring them to Stamford Bridge in the summer."
The two names mentioned in Abu's mouth are also related to Millwall.
One is Shevchenko who is AC Milan's leading shooter and has a good personal relationship with Abu.
The other is the midfielder Barack with only one year left in the Bayern Munich contract period.
