No one expected Chelsea to lose against West Ham United, who are league leaders and West Ham are third from bottom in the league, with so far apart from the results that the media simply didn't expect West Ham to stop a Chelsea side who had just beaten Watford.

West Ham United have been the talk of the Premier League this season, but not because of their results, but because they are being bought by foreign capital as a whole.

The deal was completed just before the match between the two teams.

The West Ham takeover has been in the thick of the summer, with a consortium led by Iceland's Magnussen and Iran's Hobrachin.

The Hobrachin consortium, which financed the transfer of the Argentine duo to West Ham United, seemed to have more hope, but when the two sides speculated on West Ham shares at £4.21 per share, Hobrachin was defeated, and Magnussen's Icelandic consortium had the last laugh – after taking an 83% stake in West Ham United, the Icelanders bought the 111-year-old Premier League club for £85 million.

However, the consortium will also take on West Ham's current debt of up to £22.5 million.

At the same time, West Ham United Club of the English Premier League officially announced that they have reached an agreement with an Icelandic consortium led by Eggert Magnussen, who will buy the club as a whole for 85 million pounds (about 161 million US dollars) and become the new owner of the "Hammers".

West Ham United also became the sixth English football club to fall into the hands of foreign capital, after Chelsea, Manchester United, Portsmouth, Fulham and Aston Villa.

Once the takeover is complete, Magnussen will replace Terry Brown as West Ham's new chairman, after he must resign as president of the Icelandic Football Federation and a member of UEFA's executive committee.

In fact, Magnussen was not the main force in the acquisition, at the press conference. He admits that he has the tremendous support of his friend, Icelandic billionaire Goodmanson.

According to the UK's ranking of the richest expatriates living in England released last year, Goodmanson is ranked 103rd with £598 million in assets, which is not enough to compete with Chelsea owner Abou, but is enough to run a football club.

'Mr Goodmanson's input is very important and West Ham will enter a new phase. Magnussen said with pride.

However, judging from the past situation of foreign intervention in Premier League clubs. Only if Abou's Chelsea are said to be successful, for the Icelandic consortium led by Magnussen and Goodmansen, how to change the situation of the Hammers hovering near the Premier League relegation zone is the real problem.

Magnussen says he has been waiting for this day for a long time and wants to lead the team back to the 60s, despite the £85 million purchase price, as the club now owes debt. Magnussen actually ended up contributing £100 million, but he thinks the effort was worth it.

But when Magnussen stepped in, West Ham United had suffered seven defeats in 12 games of the new season, and manager Padieu was questioned, but Magnussen said he would support Padieu in upholding the club's tradition of selecting and developing young players. Magnussen also plans to move the club's current home stadium, Upton Park, to the Olympic Stadium after the London 2012 Olympic Games.

All of this news has made West Ham United a team in the spotlight for England. Perhaps England fans are used to clubs in their own countries being injected with foreign capital, when Chelsea succeeded. I don't know how many fans are angrily accusing Chelsea of being a 'pound team', but if their favorite team also becomes a pound team, and they bring big stars to play for their team, no fan will refuse.

Therefore, West Ham fans are looking forward to the club being injected into the club and becoming a foreign club. West Ham's record has been up and down in the past, and with a big investment, they could have risen to the top of the game.

It was against this backdrop that the match between Chelsea and West Ham United unfolded.

Due to the next game against Manchester United, Zhang Tiehan and Drogba and Claude Makelele were not in the squad. Grant used a team of other players to deal with West Ham.

He thinks it's enough.

The media also thinks that enough, the current Chelsea is strong enough, even if there is no Zhang Tiehan, Makelele, Drogba, they have other excellent players, and they are absolutely overwhelming against West Ham United, but in the end Chelsea drew at home to West Ham United, and in the second half of the game, Chelsea almost attacked around the West Ham United goal, but still failed to score.

The match ended 1:1.

It was Chelsea's second winless run in three games.

After the game, it was difficult for the Chelsea media to find excuses, and there were many 'excuses' for those outside of Chelsea.

'When Zhang doesn't play, Chelsea almost change as a team, they lose their goalscoring efficiency, they lose their subtlety, they lose what they are good at, they just have rough football ......'

In this analysis, Zhang Tiehan is elevated to a certain level, and Chelsea as a whole is degraded to a certain level, and at the same time, this argument is very marketable, at least the teams that lost to Chelsea think that the analysis is correct.

When Zhang Tiehan didn't play, Chelsea could score two more goals on average, and he directly helped Chelsea to win, Zhang Tiehan didn't play, and Chelsea became the real Chelsea, a Chelsea without Mourinho's defense, and the offense couldn't play.

That's what Chelsea are.

As a result, some football commentators said that Chelsea without Zhang Tiehan would fall into a second-rate team, and at the same time, Zhang Tiehan was also the only right choice Abramovich made in the summer.

This argument is undoubtedly quite marketable.

But no matter what the media says, Chelsea is still Chelsea, and Grant's transformation of Chelsea is not something that can be done in a short period of time, it may take a season or even longer, after all, he has not managed the team well enough, and he has not proven himself to anything, and his authority in the team is not enough. Even if the Chelsea players listen to him, it is definitely a huge project to transform Chelsea. It's still a busy league schedule, and he can't do it in a short period of time because he's coming to Chelsea too late, and by the time he arrives, the summer transfer is coming to an end. So it's really hard for Grant to want to do something.

After the match against West Ham United, many media outlets were talking about Chelsea, and they also began to talk about the next round, the 'English derby' between Chelsea and Manchester United, and the news that Chelsea Club broke was related to winter transfers.

The first to break the news was not to buy people, but to sell people, and the Chelsea team revealed that West Ham had approached them a few days ago. Inquire about buying Wright-Phillips.

Wright-Phillips has rarely been able to play in the main team since joining Chelsea, and his position in the team is also in jeopardy, and West Ham have been financially boosted after the arrival of a new owner, and Icelandic Magnussen has promised manager Padu £20 million in winter transfer funds, and West Ham have begun to look around for targets.

In the summer, Chelsea refused to let Wright-Phillips go. Instead, he sold Duff to Newcastle, though. Rumours of a Wright-Phillips transfer have been ongoing and now Chelsea have finally admitted that they could consider selling Wright-Phillips if the offer is right.

Chelsea FC chief executive John Kenyon said in an interview: 'West Ham have expressed interest in us, but there is no formal bid yet and we will not be considering selling the player for the time being. But if we get a formal offer, we'll consider it, and that's how we process transfers. ”

'They were actually interested in Wright-Phillips before West Ham was acquired, as to whether a transfer was likely to happen in the future. It depends on the transfer funding. Any negotiations on the price have not yet begun, and there is no formal offer. ”

While Wright-Phillips himself wants to stay at Chelsea and continue to work hard, there are plenty of calls for him to leave.

England boss McClaren is concerned that he will not be able to play, and if Wright-Phillips continues to do so, he cannot guarantee that Wright-Phillips will still have a place in the England team, and Phillips will indeed have a hard time competing for Arjen Robben if he stays at Chelsea.

Although the transfer has not yet been finalized, in the eyes of the media, Wright-Phillips' departure is already a foregone conclusion.

Soon Wright-Phillips transfer talks are about to begin, and West Ham's new chairman, Icelandic Magnussen, has even personally inquired into the matter.

"I know Kenyon, and we're going to sit down and negotiate a price that's right." Speaking to the BBC, Magnussen said: 'Wright Phillips can't play at Chelsea, but he's brilliant and capable of playing well at West Ham. ”

West Ham had a transfer fee of more than £20 million in the winter after the Icelandic consortium injected capital, and they offered Wright Phillips a price of £10 million, although this is a lot less than the 24.4 million that Chelsea bought him in 2005, but the Chelsea sale is not once or twice, and they are likely to deal with the players that the team does not need.

Wright-Phillips has only started 10 times for Chelsea in more than a season, with a further 23 substitute appearances, and his role is a bit of a shame on his wages.

That was the biggest news after the game, as the media had already begun to cover the upcoming Chelsea-Manchester United clash when Wright-Phillips' transfer opened.

Every season, the Premier League features two teams competing against each other.

Before 2004, it was always Manchester United and Arsenal that were in contention, and the other teams were not a threat at all.

After 2004, Chelsea joined the fray.

The year followed was a clash between Chelsea and Arsenal, then between Chelsea and Liverpool, and this season, between Chelsea and Manchester United.

Chelsea were the winners because of their good results, but now Manchester United have another chance, because Chelsea have just experienced two defeats, and Chelsea's two defeats have added to the excitement of the game between the two teams. (To be continued......)
