Chapter 281: Contradictions in the Locker Room
The next day, the Chelsea club was filled with jubilation, almost everyone laughing and motivated:
The ordinary staff were full of enthusiasm, and each of them had a smile on their faces, and of course, Mr. Abu was happy, and each of them gave out a lot of bonuses...... The janitor at the door, Mr. John, is really the old man of the club, he has been with Chelsea Football Club for more than 30 years, and today John drank a lot of alcohol, and even used the strength of the wine to have a lot of wine with his wife in the doorman's room...... CEO Peter. Mr. Kenyon has received a lot of phone calls, all of them are senior executives of multinational companies, asking for sponsorship contracts or renewals, and although Mr. Abu is rich, he will never object to it if he has income......
In short, Chelsea's prestige has exploded, and it can be said that the victory in this game is worth a thousand dollars!!
In the past, even if Chelsea won 9 in a row, the fans still only thought it was an upstart, and it was normal for a few consecutive wins to break out once in a while, but now, Chelsea has become the banner of the Premier League, and is moving towards the model of the giants!!
The FA would certainly like to see this happen, and they can only make more money if the Premier League is hot, so they have spared no effort in promoting Chelsea.
Among them, especially the dance master Wang Li is the worst, perhaps, the FA's biggest headache now is the contradiction between Eriksen and Wang Li, the Swedes still have not shown favor to Wang Li, that is, in the next national team competition, Wang Li is likely to not be in the England team.
If this continues, even if England's results do not fall, FA officials will still consider a change of manager, because they believe that England's results will definitely rise after they have Wangli.
Even the Times Weekly declared: "The arrival of the Swede Eriksen has hindered the development of English football!" ”
All things are summed up, and in the eyes of the media, it is only a matter of time before Eriksen's position is not guaranteed.
That's what it makes when a star becomes a superstar!!
Although the Chelsea players, in their rejoicing, were planning to celebrate with a patty, this could only be delayed until a few days later as manager Mr Jose Mourinho stopped them.
Even if they win against Manchester United, it's not a time to be at will, because in two days' time, they will welcome another foreign team, CSKA Moscow, at Stamford Bridge.
CSKA Moscow Football Club is a well-known Russian sports club, and it is nicknamed "Red Army" because in Soviet times it was directly affiliated with the Soviet Army.
In recent years, the club's main source of finance has been Russia's richest man, billionaire Roman Brown. In 2003, the amount paid by Abramovich's Siberian Oil Company even reached $10 million a year, which is among the top sponsorship fees even among the biggest clubs in Europe.
Unfortunately, Mr. Abu is not the direct owner of CSKA as he is now the chairman of Chelsea Football Club, and according to UEFA regulations, only one of the different teams owned by the same owner is allowed to participate in European competitions.
Therefore, this match between Chelsea and CSKA Moscow has been nicknamed "Abou Derby" by rivals, because Mr. Abramovich has a huge influence on both clubs, and it can be said that even one of the teams is very likely to release water in the game.
Of course, these are the things that Mr Abou should be concerned about, and for the Chelsea players, they just need to play well, and even if it is a normal game, they will not be afraid of the Russian team.
The next day, all the players came to the club to participate in the regular training despite great reluctance, but most of them were talking about yesterday's game and today's report.
Thankfully, thanks to the win over Manchester United, Jose. Mr Mourinho kept a smile on his face and he didn't reprimand the players for their out-of-form behaviour
The atmosphere at Chelsea is relaxed.
There's nothing more inspiring for the team than a back-to-back victory.
However, this is just a performance phenomenon, in fact, these players are more or less burdened with a kind of pressure, even Wang Li is the same.
What are Chelsea's goals for this season?
It is clear that Mourinho's goal for the team is to win the league and the European Cup, and if he can, the Football Cup, which has an important place in the hearts and minds of English fans, will also be in the bag.
This is also the reason why Abramovich recruited championship coach Jose Mourinho, simply because he has a championship heart. If you want to become a giant, honor is absolutely essential, and in the past ten years, Liverpool's results have not been very good, and they have not even been able to win a league trophy, but fans still call them 'giants'. It's all because they've won a lot of Champions Leagues and league titles.
Therefore, if Chelsea wants to become a giant, it is a real result to win two or three crowns first.
Of course, Wang Li joined Chelsea for the title.
Although it is a bit utilitarian to say this, the world of professional players is not the world of utilitarianism, a player wants to become famous, and the championship is absolutely indispensable, and the main reason why Maradona was canonized is that he led Argentina to win the Hercules Cup
After returning to the club after the Premier League derby against Manchester United, Mourinho began to study Chelsea's tactical issues.
In the hearts of the Portuguese, Wang Li undoubtedly has a very important position, his strength has been confirmed in the first 10 rounds of the league, and what makes him both happy and troubled is that the team's attacking line is full of talent.
Joe. Kerr has already shown his level this season, and he is more than capable of playing in the main position, both in terms of tactical support and goal-scoring for the team. Ireland international Damien. Duff has also been in excellent form and is now almost an indispensable member of Chelsea's touchline, and his alongside the same left-footed player, Dutch star Altyn Brown. Robben's performance also pleased 'Madman'.
With the addition of Geremi, the Cameroon international's performance gave Mourinho no reason to put him on the bench, while up front, Eduar. Goodjanssen's performance on the field was no worse than Drogba's.
Together, how to get Chelsea to find the best squad has become a difficult problem for Mourinho.
Maybe one game doesn't tell the story, Mourinho had planned to try a few more games, but the team's performance was really satisfactory to him, he didn't want to give up these players, for now, he can only use rotation to find a balance in the team, but this way must not last long, players who play well and play a few times will definitely be dissatisfied in their hearts.
Edur. Gudjanssen is one such player.
Gudjanssen moved to Chelsea from Bolton Wanderers in 2000 and has scored 61 goals for Chelsea in just over four seasons.
And this season, Gudjanssen's performance is even better, this year 26 years old, after so many years of experience, strength, technology has reached a peak, the goal efficiency has not decreased but improved.
However, this season the team has brought in the likes of Drogba, Arjen Robben and Wang Li, which has made Gudjanssen's appearances extremely limited.
Although Goodjanssen didn't say much, his teammates could still see the dissatisfaction on his stiff face, and even every time Wang Li took the initiative to greet him, the latter would not pay much attention to it, just grinning politely and responding slightly.
That's the case with the professionals, and the arrival of Wang Li and Didier Drogba has really left Gudjanssen unable to find a place in the team, and no matter how good Chelsea are, he has no reason to be happy
There are a lot of media outlets in the Premier League that are 'opposition' to Chelsea and they are happy to add to Chelsea's problems.
Just one day before the match against CSKA Moscow, a media outlet from West London broke the news: "...... Edur. Gudjanssen could no longer stand the prospect of being on the bench at Stamford Bridge and his agent, Mr Felik, is in contact with other clubs and has made a transfer request to the club's hierarchy in the hope of leaving Chelsea this Christmas. ”
"At the moment, Mr. Mourinho clearly has more trust in Robben, Allen Lee, who have performed very well. Wang and Drogba and others, and this Icelander already felt that he was no longer competitive. Now, there are many clubs interested in him, and Arsenal, which has always lacked a central striker, has also offered him an olive branch. ”
The article seems to be true, and everyone knows that Drogba, Wang Li squeezed out the Icelanders' positions, and Edul. It's also normal for Gudjanssen to want a transfer.
In the game against Manchester United, Gudjanssen thought he was likely to come off the bench, but even when the team was behind, Mourinho still did not choose him, and did not even get a minute to perform.
Subsequently, more exciting news was unearthed by the Guardian, who claimed that there was a serious problem in the Chelsea dressing room, and that the conflict between Wang Li and Gudjanssen was already on the table, and due to Wang Li's excellent performance at Chelsea, it was only a matter of time before Gudjanssen left Chelsea.
In addition, there were also various negative remarks against Chelsea in other tabloids, and they waited to see Chelsea's jokes.
