Chapter 404: Meritorious Shock

Chelsea, a traditional Premier League powerhouse, have not won a top-flight trophy for half a century, most recently in the FA Cup from 99 to 00. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In contrast, the Carabao Cup has been slightly less influential than the FA Cup.

This is also a well-established fact in English football.

However, Chelsea fans are still ecstatic about the team's Carabao Cup triumph.

After winning the title in Cardiff in the afternoon, thousands of Chelsea fans took to the streets to welcome their triumphant return, along with those who followed them on their way to the West End.

In fact, the Metropolitan Police had to urgently dispatch to maintain order along the way and escort the winning team to Stamford Bridge.

As captain, John Terry presented the trophy in the honour room at Stamford Bridge, while manager Gao Han also expressed his confidence in his team's victory in the league title amid the overwhelming demands of the fans.

"I promise that in a month's time, we will have another championship trophy in our honor room!"

Gao Han's resounding promise won the cheers of all the fans in the stadium.

'On behalf of the team, I also promise that we will focus all our energy on the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup, we will win all the trophies, not only this season, but next season, and I hope to lead Chelsea to the top of European football!'

Including the 100,000 fans at the scene, including all the media reporters who chased the scene, including every player and employee from Chelsea, they could deeply feel Gao Han's strong self-confidence.

The team's successive victories gave him confidence, gave him confidence, and made him dare to put forward such a goal.

The passion of the fans was also ignited in an instant.

The shouts of long live the cold resounded throughout Stamford Bridge, and the momentum even swept the entire West End of London.

All the players also supported the head coach Gao Han, and proved their support for the manager with practical actions, so that everyone could feel the unity of Chelsea.

The scene was not only captured by all the fans and media reporters who came to the scene, but also by Roman Abramovich at Stamford Bridge.

…………

…………

The next day, almost all of the British and European media were furiously reporting on Chelsea's triumph.

Although it is only a League Cup, because of Gao Han's winning streak, the media around the world are crazy.

The winning manager, who has not been beaten or even drawn since his debut, has not been crushed as the outside media speculated after landing in the Premier League, but has successfully continued his glory in Atletico Madrid.

The league title is basically in the bag, and the next step is the FA Cup and the League Cup.

Even more long-term, next season's Champions League!

Some British media even shouted for fear that the world would not be chaotic: "All the European giants are crying, because Gao Han has booked the Champions League championship next season in advance!"

"Istanbul, it belongs to the cold, it belongs to Chelsea!"

In order to confirm the strength of Chelsea, the media reporter even quoted the best player of the final, Ibrahimovic in his post-match interview with the media, and the Swedish center sincerely said that he wants to play for Alpine forever.

"He's the best, the best and the most charismatic manager I've ever had. ”

Ronaldinho, the team's number one superstar, also said, "He is a convincing and trustworthy manager. ”

Eto'o, the team's top scorer, also praised Gao Han, "The League Cup winner? ”

Captain John Terry also said publicly: 'Our boss is a natural winner and I am confident that under his stewardship Chelsea will reach the pinnacle of history and everything we do now will go down in history. ”

Even Frank Lampard, who was rumored to have some discord with the alpine before the winter break, made the rumors clear.

'What? I have a problem with the manager? Absolutely not, I am willing to play any game for him, even on the bench, and I am sure he will be the right person to lead Chelsea to glory. ”

With so much unity from Chelsea to the head coach Gao Han, all the Blues fans also spoke highly of the manager, believing him to be the best and most perfect manager in the world today.

The British media was equally appreciative.

For the past game, they agreed that the spell is just an excuse, and strength is king.

One of the important reasons for the shattering of Arsenal's dream of being the king is that the Gunners are not strong enough.

However, some media believe that the most important thing that Gao Han brings to Chelsea is confidence, and throughout this game, Arsenal lost precisely in confidence, especially in the second half, and did not even have the fighting spirit to recover the score.

Even manager Arsene Wenger said in an interview with the media after the game, "We have to regain our confidence, losing the League Cup final is not the end of the world, losing confidence is!"

For a while, about the cold and about Chelsea, it immediately became the focus of attention of fans all over the world.

…………

In a townhouse in London's West End at Eton Square, Abramovich is sitting on a sofa in the living room, with a stack of newspapers that just went out this morning on the table in front of him.

Reading the newspaper every morning has been a habit of Abramovich for many years, even when he came to London.

So, every day, newspapers from all over the world would be delivered to his doorstep, thick stacks.

But today it's different.

His expression was very serious, his heart was very heavy, and he couldn't relax the whole person.

It's not that there's any rumours in Russia that won't work against him, it's that Chelsea won the Carabao Cup last night.

It's a good thing for the fans, for the players, for the staff, but not necessarily for Abramovich.

He has always wanted to change his impression of the upper class and the media in London and even the United Kingdom, so he bought a mansion and bought Chelsea, and invested a lot of money.

There is only one purpose, to take the opportunity to get closer to each other.

Just like his bold style of making good friends in London for some time in the past, he even lent his luxury yacht to the two princes William and Harry for free.

But the result?

The yacht was borrowed, but the relationship was still so rusty.

Originally, he thought that investing in Chelsea would allow him to rank among the British upper class, but in fact, in the past six months, more and more upper-class people have come to Stamford Bridge, but his position as Abramovich is still embarrassing.

If everything before made him feel difficult, then last night, he experienced a very cruel truth.

Brits love football, but not investors!

Everyone attributed Chelsea's success to Gao Han's skill and coaching, but no one noticed that he was quietly investing €200 million behind the scenes.

Without this money, would we have the Chelsea we have today?

But last night, at the Millennium Stadium, in the live broadcast in front of fans and viewers all over the world, everyone chased Gao Han and left him, the boss, directly aside.

Although Gao Han quickly ran to his side, thanked the management for their support in front of the media, and pulled him back into the camera, what kind of charity is this?

Abramovich deeply felt that he was gradually reduced to a supporting role in this game.

Although there has always been a tradition of managers playing leading roles in the history of the Premier League, this is clearly a departure from Abramovich's original plan.

This is his team, the team he spent 200 million euros to build, and Gao Han was also invited by him, why did he give up the position of the protagonist and become a foil for others?

Nowadays, when everyone mentions Manchester United, they think of Ferguson, Arsenal, and Arsene Wenger.

Roman Abramovich felt he had to do something, at least to make everyone realise that he was the real and only owner of Chelsea!

As for the high cold, as for the players...... He remembered the two words that Pini Zahavi had said.

"With the strength of Chelsea's squad, even if you have a dog on a leash in the dugout, you can win!"

Thinking of this, Abramovich had a decision in his mind.

Just when the doorbell rang, the nanny went to open the door, and saw Granovschia, Bruce Buck, and Pini Zahavi walking in one after another through the bodyguards at the door.

"You have come just in time, I have something to tell you to do. ”

As soon as the three of them heard this, they immediately quickened their pace and walked over.

"Marina, I remember, you said before that we need reinforcements in two positions, right?"

Granovskia nodded, "Yes, I have a preliminary discussion with Gao Han, he wants to bring in reinforcements in midfield and left-back, and he has to think about specific goals." ”

Abramovich snorted, "Pini, who is the strongest left-back in football today?"

"The strongest?" Pini Zahavi was taken aback, but quickly reacted with surprise on his face, "The biggest card is of course Robert Carlos of Real Madrid, and Juventus' Zambrotta is also very good, but ......"

"But what?"

"Arsenal's left-back Ashley Cole is also very strong and a homegrown England star, so he has a lot of influence. ”

Abramovich's eyes flashed with joy, "Is there a way to communicate?"

"Yes, but it's a bit of a problem to convince Arsenal. ”

"I'm not afraid of trouble, I just want results. Abramovich made a quick decision.

Pini Zahavi didn't understand and nodded immediately.

'In midfield, I think Arsenal's Patrick Vieira or Liverpool's Steven Gerrard are very good, Pini, you move around and work. After Abramovich finished speaking, he gave the Israeli agent another look, "Money, it's not a problem." ”

The Israelites were overjoyed and said, "Understood." ”

"Marina, you contact Shevchenko again, and say that I will invite him to dinner. ”

"Okay. "Granovskia knew Abramovich well and quickly guessed what the boss meant.

In Russia, the most taboo thing for oligarchs is to be high-achiever.

"I've also heard that a lot of people are not very happy with Arjen Robben and that the team lacks a winger, so ......"

Pini Zahavi rolled his eyes and took over with a smile: "How is Figo?"

"Figo?"

"Yes. Pini Zahavi smiled and nodded, "After Beckham went to Real Madrid, Figo's status was affected, and there were rumors of his departure, and I know his agent, Jose Vega. ”

After a pause, the Israeli sneered sarcastically: "This is now, if it were two years earlier, Jose Vega would have been the master of European football who could stomp his feet, both in terms of contacts and channels, better than Mendes." ”

After listening to this, Abramovich was thoughtful.

"Okay, let's have a meal together. ”
