Chapter 528: Book the St. Bride Cup
Facing the main stand at Stamford Bridge, there is a makeshift table with all the trophies Chelsea have won in their history, which is the equivalent of taking all the trophies from their honour room and placing them on the pitch for the Blues fans in the stands to experience the team's rich history once again.
Three top-flight trophies, two European Winners' Trophies, one UEFA Super Cup, four League Cup trophies, four FA Cup trophies, two Charity Shield trophies, one Community Shield trophie and two FA Members' Cups, for a total of 19 trophies.
The 19 silver trophies are missing, but the European Champions Cup, which proves its status in European football!
Coincidentally, the 19 trophies were separated on either side, except for the empty middle, which confused the reporters at the scene, but the Chelsea fans at the scene knew that this was to wait for the most important European Champions League trophy!
Spending £60 million to buy the top scorer of the new European Champions League is not only because he can score, but more importantly, it is more important to continue his championship luck and bring new trophies to Chelsea!
Bill Chapman walked up to the podium, and he began to talk about the team's history.
As for why the history of the team is being introduced, the biggest reason is to attract new Chelsea fans, especially Chinese fans who are watching live TV, which is an area that Chelsea is focusing on.
Kenyon's promise to buy out Iello's contract for 60 million pounds is not entirely due to Iroh's competitive reasons, but also has a lot to do with the Chinese market behind it.
The hundreds of millions of Chinese fans behind Iello are the areas that Chelsea are desperate to develop!
With the country's economy growing rapidly, more and more young people are able to understand English, so Bill Chapman will be able to understand Chelsea's history and culture in English.
What happens if I don't understand?
Don't forget, CCTV's commentators are all living English-Chinese translators, and they can play temporary roles as temporary translators, so that more fans who don't understand English can understand the history and culture of Chelsea Football Club.
Bill Chapman was very efficient, explaining the history and culture of the team in a very concise manner, and then began to introduce the 19 trophies that the camera was directly on.
Immediately, the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge began to reach its first high of fan arrivals.
Then there were seven new signings joining the squad in the summer transfer window, including Belletti, Alex, Malouda, Ben Haim, Pizarro, Sidwell and Felice, who waved to the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge.
However, the fans in the stadium instinctively applauded the new signings who made their debut on the field, and did not have the frenzied atmosphere that Bill Chapman had when he introduced the team's history and trophies.
How could Bill Chapman, who has been a live DJ at Stamford Bridge for nearly 20 years, not know the mentality of the fans? However, he did not stir up the atmosphere of the scene, because the best are often left at the back, and the fans in the stands came to see the style of Spain's treble champion Elo, and the previous qiē was all foreshadowing.
As the seven new signings moved to the sidelines, Bill Chapman began to adjust his tone, taking his habitual deep breath and looking up at the main stands, his passionate voice emanating from the stadium announcement: "You can be at Stamford Bridge at this time today, I am convinced that everyone is waiting for someone!" ”
The sound stagnated, and the atmosphere in the stands was obviously strengthened.
Bill Chapman's voice suddenly rose an octave: "That's right! Now we have our sixty million gentlemen—"
"- Ai!"
At the same time, 40,000 Blues fans in the stadium shouted out Elo's last name in a hoarse voice.
The stadium's director also intriguingly focused the camera on the empty space between the nineteen trophies before switching to the open space in front of the players' tunnel.

With the eruption of chanting in the stands, Iro, wearing the No. 9 blue jersey, jogged out of the players' tunnel, and all the focus was focused on him.
After a while, Iroh ran to the podium, and the cheers in the stands gradually subsided.
Bill Chapman seized the moment and began to speak: "Now that our Mr. 60 million has made his debut, would you like to hear his thoughts on coming to Stamford Bridge? ”
"-I want to~!!"
The 40,000 Blues fans chanted in unison, and Iello, who was standing in front of the podium, was moved as if he had returned to Mestalla.
He paused: "Ahem, it's a great honor to be part of the Chelsea family, since I joined, I've been learning about the culture and history of this club, to be honest, I've been very surprised by the team's struggles, but it is undeniable that this club has a deep cultural heritage, and it is all about their own efforts to become one of the top two giants now......
Speaking of which, Iroh pointed to the nineteen trophies in front of the main stand, and the camera was also very cooperative with the trophies, and then switched to Iro's body, everyone knew that Iroh still had something to say.
Really!
"I counted, we have nineteen trophies, basically all the trophies that can be obtained, but I know that the only one that is missing here is the most important trophy - the St. Bride Cup! I believe the owner, Roman Abramovich, paid 60 million pounds to buy me over to make up for this shortcoming, here! I promise all the Chelsea fans here!! ”
Iroh's voice suddenly rose an octave higher, and the Blues fans in the stands also expressed their excitement, and hoarse shouts rushed from the stands, making Iroh even more passionate.
At this moment, he seemed to have become a demagogue, constantly inciting the atmosphere of the fans.
"Me! Iroh !! I came to Chelsea to bring you the trophy you have always dreamed of!! St. Bride's Cup!! We booked !!! for Chelsea ”
"--Scheduled !!"
The fans in the stands repeated very cooperatively with Iroh's tone!
At this moment, both supporters and opponents of Iello are selfless and immersed in it, because they love Chelsea as a club!
And love deeply!
The reporters who came to the scene all looked at each other, they knew that this was the real Iro!! There is an infinite desire for championships and honors!!
At the same time, they know that tomorrow will be full of headlines!!
Immediately afterwards, the camera showed Abramovich in the VIP seat, he was very happy, smiling, and applauding very hard.
Didn't I buy Iroh just to win the Champions League?
At this moment, Abramovich felt that this time he bought the right person!
After speaking, the scene was arranged for Iroh to stand on the court - performing a trick juggling.
It's a tradition for every player to move to a new club, so Chelsea is no exception.
With the climax of Iello's previous speech, when he performed the fancy juggling, the atmosphere was quite frenetic, and there was hardly a single fan in the stands who was not in shape.
In the two seasons of Iroh's rapid growth, he gave people the impression that he was very practical, not fancy, and every touch was very reasonable, but few people knew that Iroh's freestyle bouncing ball was also very good.
Of course, Chinese fans are excluded, because it was revealed that Ielo had competed with the fancy prince Cristiano Ronaldo on the streets of Chang'an, Beijing, and it ended with Ielo winning.
And this performance at Stamford Bridge also made the fans feel the fun of freestyle football.
Iroh is like being one with the football, and every movement and touch the ball gives people a very harmonious feeling, as if he is not dancing on the pitch instead of the football, which is very beautiful.
The reporters on the sidelines were not idle, and kept pressing the shutter in their hands.
Five minutes later, Iroh ended a series of fancy juggling performances with a very pleasing chest stop, followed by a chest shake and the ball flew forward, with his left foot on the ground and his right foot on it, kicking the ball towards the stands.
The 40,000 fans in the stands erupted in a tsunami-like chant again.
At the same time, the fans in the main stands are also vying for the football that Iroh kicked out, and they all know that the meaning of this football will be incomparably great!
Boss Roman Abramovich, chief executive officer Kenyon and manager Jose Mourinho all smiled with satisfaction at Aylo's debut.
The shouting volume of the fans means that they are satisfied with Ello.
※※※
The next day, the headlines of the mainstream European media were all about Ielloh's bold debut at Stamford Bridge yesterday afternoon: St. Bride Cup, booked??
"Carrying the greatest contribution of the Spanish club's first treble, moving from Valencia to Chelsea for £60 million, the place of struggle has changed, but the fighting spirit has not changed, there is a world away from many successful young players, he has not enjoyed life because of it, and his heroic feat at Stamford Bridge has told everyone that he, Elo, is still the same player who desperately pursues the title glory! Players who fought until the last moment for the honor of the team!! ”
From the headline of the newspaper Marca.
'There has never been a young player who has won so many trophies at such a young age, league titles, domestic cup titles, UEFA Cup winners, Champions League top scorers, top scorers in the league, top scorers in the Champions League...... It is really unbelievable that countless honors are gathered in a player from a football desert country, but it is because he is from the football desert that he happens to have his infinite pursuit of championship honors, so he will continue to fight for the championship after changing places! Come on! Lad!! ”
Excerpt from Torino Sport
Of course, there will be support and disapproval.
Just like "World Sports", which has been at odds with Iroh for several seasons, they will always subconsciously be cheap, plus Barcelona and Chelsea also have a lot of grievances, it is normal to disagree at this time.
"It's unbelievable! Is next season's St. Bride Cup booked? It's the funniest joke I've ever heard! It's funny that we think his brain is funny, we don't think Chelsea will become so strong with him joining, we really hope that next season's Champions League will draw Barcelona and Chelsea together, and then tell the arrogant Chinese that the Champions League title is not so easy to get! ”
