Chapter 402: The World's No. 1 Marshal
"I'm sorry, our boss asked me to kill you!"
The two met again, and Ibrahimovic stared at Campbell defiantly, feeling like a hunter eyeing his prey, pulling the trigger at any moment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Then you can just give it a try, stinky boy!" Campbell was also really angry.
Ibrahimovic ignored him and turned to Kolo Toure next to him.
The Ivorian defender, who was nearly a head shorter than him, flickered in his eyes and winced when he noticed his gaze.
This immediately made Ibrahimovic know in his heart and smiled.

After the resumption of the game, Chelsea remained firmly in control.
Although Arsenal conceded a goal, this was also in the plan of Wenger and the coaching staff, and even responded to this point, which is to continue to insist on defending and counter-attacking.
The two teams seem to be close in quality, but their styles are very different.
Arsenal is good at counter-attacking defensively, but Chelsea is good at pressing and passing high posts, which in itself is doomed to the situation when the two teams face off, so if Arsenal takes the initiative because they concede a goal first, it is to blindly play up their weaknesses and avoid their strengths.
The Gunners are full of experienced players and are well aware that Chelsea are now finding their form and Arsenal's best strategy is to avoid them and wait for their chances.
There's still an hour left in the game, so there will definitely be plenty of chances.
However, Chelsea did not seem to have paid any attention to the Gunners' calculations, and after the restart, they continued to take the initiative, continued to play high pressing and pressing, and continued to control the tempo of the game.
After scoring a goal, Ibrahimovic also became more and more active.
With a height of 1.95 meters and a weight of 95 kilograms, if the Swedish center originally looked like a heavy armored tank, then with the blessing of the five-star confrontation card, this heavy armored tank is almost like incarnating a Gundam.
In the words of Gao Han's original description of Marchena, it is, staring at whoever is pregnant!
Whether it is Campbell, Vieira, Gilberto Silva, or Kolo Toure, they all fell behind when facing Ibrahimovic, especially the shorter Kolo Toure, who was crushed by Ibrahimovic.
What's even more terrifying is that this Swede seems to be a master who likes to pick soft persimmons, and specializes in looking for Chloe Toure.
With passers like Deco and Veron behind him, Ibrahimovic crushed Kolo Toure again and again, almost as if he was trying to abuse Arsenal's defenders out of the psychological shadow, and snatched the first spot again and again.
With the resurrection of Ibrahimovic, Chelsea's entire attack in the front court has also come to life, and all kinds of combinations have become smoother and smoother, especially under the stimulus of the opening goal, Arsenal soon exposed another hole.
Robben, who was originally on the right side, suddenly ran to the left, after receiving a pass from Veron, forced a break through Lauren, went down to the bottom line and passed into the penalty area, Ibrahimovic in the chaos, squeezed Campbell and Gilberto Silva with his body, and grabbed the first point with a header, and gave the ball to Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho followed up with a direct volley.
German goalkeeper Lehmann flew to save the ball, but before the ball flew away, Lampard, who followed behind, pushed the ball directly and sent the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal, 2-0!
In just eight minutes, Chelsea scored twice in a row!
After the goal, the Chelsea players were so excited that they all pounced on Frank Lampard, who even rushed to the corner flagpole and yelled at the Chelsea fans in the stands.
It was a goal that almost established Chelsea's advantage!
Chelsea fans are also chanting Frank Lampard's name, and the player, who was rumoured to leave Chelsea during the winter break, went from strength to strength after the winter break, helping the team to back-to-back cup victories and finally scoring a second goal in tonight's final, earning the hearts and minds of all the fans.

"The cold is really powerful!"
In the VIP box of the Millennium Stadium, Abramovich praised repeatedly.
At 2-0, Chelsea had basically won the trophy with one hand, and the Russians were equally relieved.
But more than that, I still admire.
According to his plan, he didn't demand much from Chelsea's results this season, he just wanted the team to consolidate well, return to the top four, enter the Champions League next season, and then slowly try to win the title.
Unexpectedly, Gao Han brought him a huge surprise.
Not to mention the unstoppable wins in the league, even the performance in the cup is so good, the results are so good that he can't be faulty.
What can he say about such a manager other than support?
"That's good, this is the number one coach in the world!" Abramovich said vigorously in a happy mood.
In his opinion, only a coach like Gao Han is worthy of his Chelsea.
"Yes, this League Cup champion is basically stable. Pini Zahavi, who was sitting on the sidelines, also laughed.
It seems that he is also happy for Abramovich.
The Russian pointed to the Israeli broker, smiled and nodded.
"Gao Han's vision for selecting people is really powerful, and the ability to manage the team should not be underestimated, Lampard used to make a fuss about leaving, but now he has become the team's champion, and I am afraid that there are few people who can do this. ”
Everyone in the box nodded.
"Needless to say, Eto'o is competing with Thierry Henry for the top scorer, and all of us, including those who don't know each other, are probably going to lose. Abramovich said this, looking down the pitch and smiling.
"I didn't expect that even Ibrahimovic was so good, this guy really couldn't even defend himself. ”
Everyone nodded again, judging from the game, Arsenal really had no one to defend against Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho.
"Eh, Pinny, you don't have anyone like that, do you?" Abramovich asked with a chuckle.
Pini Zahavi smiled stiffly and waved his hand in embarrassment.
"Between you and Mendes, there is only one high cold. Abramovich laughed casually.
But when Pini Zahawi heard this, his heart moved, what did he mean by that?
Since Gao Han came to the Premier League, as the British media dug deep into the ground, many insiders have gradually surfaced, and many people have realized that Mendes was just a little-known agent a few years ago.
However, since he went to Atletico Madrid to deliver player information and got to know Gao Han, everything has changed.
Not only did he quickly turn the situation around, suppressing his rival Jose Vega and becoming the number one agent in the entire Iberian Peninsula, but he also took advantage of the high cold and the big sales of Atletico Madrid players to sweep the entire European professional football scene.
If nothing else, Chelsea's blockbuster signings this summer, as well as Kaka's record transfer to AC Milan, are enough to make Mendes a lot of money and the envy of agents all over the world.
Today's Mendes not only has many football talents in Portugal, but also the agent of many Atletico Madrid stars, and even many well-known stars in the Chelsea team have transferred to him.
For example, the big three of Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Ibrahimovic, not to mention Deco and Ferreira, who are already his players, and it is said that several youngsters Van Persie, Robben, Messi, Cesc Fabregas and Pique have also moved to Mendes.
Among them, Robben's situation is more special, he is run by his father Hans and Mendes, which is the same as Kaka.
In contrast, Pini Zahavi is much less impressive.
So, the Israelis also have to guess in their hearts, what does Abramovich mean by this?
Did he want to imply that he befriended Gao Han?
"Marina. Abramovich said as if casually, and quickly looked at his close aides.
"You and Bruce go back and talk to Gao Han and ask him to draw up a summer transfer plan, the team is so good this season, next season must be a big go, try to make a difference in the league and in Europe. ”
"Understood. Granovskia nodded in agreement.
"You tell Gao Han, no matter what he wants, if he wants to bring in anyone, I will agree, and there is no upper limit on the transfer budget!"
Everyone present was shocked by Abramovich's sonorous words.
Last summer's transfer was operated by Gao Han, and it cost 200 million.
Chelsea's current squad looks strong, but in reality it is not entirely without weaknesses, such as the left and right wing-backs.
If right-back Ferreira is conscientious and Glen Johnson has unlimited potential and is quite satisfying, then Bridge, left-back, is a bit lonely, and there is still a certain distance from Gao Han's requirements.
There is also the midfield.
Since the beginning of this season, Parker has played a lot of games, and he has started for Makelele many times in the cup, but in this key final, Gao Han would rather discharge the combination of Deco, Veron and Lampard, rather than arrange Parker to start, and it is estimated that he is not at ease with the youngster.
There are a couple of other areas that need to be tinkered with, or properly strengthened, and it really costs money, and Chelsea still have a lot of room for improvement.
It was the team's successive victories on the field that gave Abramovich confidence, and at the same time made him change his original plans and goals, and began to have ambitions to compete on the European stage, especially in the Champions League.
You know, in Chelsea's 99-year history, the only three European trophies were the European Cup Winners' Cup in '70-71 and '97-98, but everyone knows that it was the equivalent of a chicken cup competition, and it has now been cancelled.
The other one is the UEFA Super Cup winner in '98, which is a little weighty.
But so far this season, Chelsea are the favourites to win the UEFA Cup, and that title alone is enough to make Abramovich proud of Chelsea's nearly 100-year history.
Not to mention, the team's success in the league, League Cup and FA Cup this season has made Abramovich even more complacent and in high spirits.
If the iron is hot and the team can win a Champions League title in the time of the team's centenary* celebrations, it will undoubtedly give Abramovich the highest prestige in the team.
I'm sure all the Chelsea fans will be submissive to me by then, right?
When the time comes, those people outside won't dare to laugh and sarcasm anymore, right?
At the thought of this, Abramovich's whole heart boiled hot.
