In the eyes of Fleet Street, Chelsea owner Abou is certainly not a patient owner.

The Russian billionaire, who has been exposed to have learned from Inter Milan owner Moratti, also looks like he is becoming similar to Moratti, that is, he will fire the coach if he is not satisfied with the results.

He sacked Ranieri without meeting him after buying Chelsea, and then chose Eriksen, whose fate was decided when Chelsea were out of the Champions League in his first season in charge, last season, before the league ended.

Now, one of the hot topics in front of Fleet Street is whether Mourinho will be sacked.

That's why there is an exploratory dialogue between the interpretive duo Martin Taylor and Andy Gray.

"Martin, we have to look at Mourinho's record in charge of Chelsea, now, we just see that Mourinho's Chelsea can't shake Millwall's rule, but, from another perspective, Chelsea are ahead of Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and there is a big gap, and at the same time, Mourinho has also brought Chelsea the title this season, the League Cup."

"Hehe, Andy, you mean, Manchester United didn't sack Alex Ferguson, Arsenal didn't sack Arsene Wenger, and Jose Mourinho didn't actually deserve to be fired, right?"

'There's an element of that, but not exactly, you know, a manager gives a team his personal touch, and even if Chelsea don't win the league this season, their tough, tenacious, pragmatic style of football is starting to take root. Chelsea have brought in a manager with a very different style to take charge of the team. So. The new manager may carry out a very heavy transformation of the team, first of all, to erase the traces of Mourinho, just this, this will take a lot of time, the price of this time, must be the record! Secondly, it may not just be a change of manager, a change of manager. It will inevitably have a further impact on the team's squad, today's main team, tomorrow may be swept away, Chelsea have changed too many personnel in the last two seasons, the dressing room should be very turbulent, such a development, it must be against the laws of football, Chelsea have the financial resources, which can accelerate their success, but if the laws of football are violated to build the team. There will be no good fruit to eat. ”

Coincidentally, when the commentator was discussing whether Jose Mourinho's ass could still sit in the Chelsea manager's position. In the stands at Stamford Bridge, Abu was also communicating with Kenyon.

After Chelsea were held to a draw at home to Arsenal in the last round, Abou has all but failed to hope for Chelsea's league title this season.

It's not that he doesn't have enough enthusiasm and support for Chelsea, and after two years of spending money in a row, no one can question his passion for running Chelsea, but he's more realistic and doesn't dream of idealism.

For example, Fleet Street made a probability prediction before the start of this round, Millwall's probability of winning the championship is as high as 93.7%, and Chelsea's winning the championship is only 6.3%, and I don't know how they counted or based on what to make such a prediction, but it is just such an almost one-sided prediction, but it is secretly in Abu's inner thoughts.

If Chelsea win the title, it will be a miracle!

In the first three meetings of the season, Chelsea was defeated, and at the most critical time, Chelsea suddenly became powerful, who believes it!

It has been almost two years since he really entered the football circle, and in the past two years, Abu has gone from being an "amateur scout" to gradually understanding the doorways of this circle.

He didn't seem so surprised and disappointed that Mourinho couldn't win against Aldridge.

It's very simple.

Just look at how strong Aldridge is and look at his championship record in the honor books.

Why can't Chelsea beat Millwall?

It's also very simple.

Lack of strength.

Abu doesn't think about how profound or complex the problem is, and the facts presented in front of him are clear at a glance: our strength is not as good as that of the Wild Lion!

The dream lineup he originally envisioned was a team of eleven world-class superstars!

But in the process of implementation, there was an embarrassing situation for him: 100 million euros was quoted for Raul, but he couldn't buy anyone!

When it comes to players at the level of superstars, although money is a very important part, there are still other factors affecting the transfer of players, and they may play a key role, such as Raul, who is unwilling to go to Chelsea, even if he has an unpleasant quarrel with Florentino, he still wants to stay at the Bernabeu, and even sacrifice himself for the team's skills and tactics, which is the loyalty of the player.

Chelsea's attraction to superstars is insufficient, Abu can only accept realistic compromises, his greatest resource: wealth, can not play a role, then, retreat to buy some first-class players, and have the potential to grow into world-class superstars, hoping that after a period of wait, the new Chelsea can reach world-class standards.

So just look at the line-up cards, Chelsea lost to Millwall, there is nothing unacceptable to Abu, last season, he would be furious because of Eriksen's team at home defeat, now, probably after a long time in the industry, I don't think this is how difficult to accept.

Millwall's star group looks a little weaker than before in terms of strength, because they used to have half a team of world-class stars, and today there are only three on the field.

Ronaldo, Henry, Nesta.

But there was also a Nedved on the bench.

Other players, like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Alonso, these three players are already first-class stars, and De Rossi, who grew rapidly last season and tends to be stable this season, is considered by the outside world to be the second star like Vieira in the Premier League, and even Lahm and Silva, both of whom have made great progress this season, and the growth is breathtaking.

And what about Chelsea?

There is only one person who can be recognized as a world-class superstar by the outside world, Frank Lampard!

The midfielder, who helped England win the World Cup and the European Championships, probably wouldn't have come to Chelsea if he hadn't returned to the Premier League from Inter Milan, but he is now Chelsea's highest-paid star for his value.

But what about the others?

Makelle is underrated and not recognized as world-class, but should be at least half-counted.

Originally, Ashley Cole was absolutely world-class, but this season, his value has dropped instead!

Because he doesn't have a better table on the offensive end, a full-back who relies on defense alone, no matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to step into the world!

Other players such as Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Didier Drogba, Essien, Carvalho and many others, although they look very good, always feel like they are a little bit worse than Millwall's players in the same period.

So in terms of overall strength, Millwall is stronger than Chelsea, but not necessarily much stronger, so Millwall can leave Manchester United and Arsenal without a trace in the league, but in the penultimate round, Chelsea still retains the hope of winning the championship.

Abou is not dissatisfied or satisfied with Mourinho's work.

Jose Mourinho didn't surprise him, a League Cup title was forgotten the day after winning the title, so there was nothing to be satisfied with.

But Mourinho didn't bring the team to a bad record, Chelsea played with value, in the league, the strength is second, the standings are second, it is considered decent, the Champions League if it is not against Millwall, may go further.

Kenyon said Abdo to give Mourinho some time, just as Martin Taylor did in his exchange with Andy Gray.

Chelsea can't afford it!

Who will you invite again?

Invite a manager who has not coached in the Premier League, then this manager must be familiar with the Premier League, understand Chelsea, put his own set into practice, even if it is smooth, when he is on the right track, maybe next season the Premier League has finished 1/3, and then what? Chelsea may have said goodbye to the champions.

In the competitive and outrageous league of the Premier League, there's only one opponent you'll have to keep an eye on: Millwall.

If the other person doesn't make mistakes, you can't make mistakes!

Abu doesn't want another major surgery on Chelsea.

That would send the team into turmoil, and there would be a price to pay for the results.

However, his patience is limited and he will only give Mourinho another season.

It's not okay to just press the standard line for work performance, and you should always make some extraordinary performance, right?

At the same time, in order to close the gap between Chelsea and Millwall, Abu hopes to bring one or two world-class stars to Chelsea in the summer!

In this way, the slight gap between Chelsea and Millwall this season may be filled, because Chelsea's current main squad also has room to grow, and after this season, it should be stronger next season.

In terms of player selection, the first target is naturally Millwall's players, and if it can be successful, it is equivalent to directly reducing Millwall's strength.

Hearing Abu's whispered question, Kenyan shook his head and smiled bitterly, but did not answer, in fact, everyone knew the answer.

If it is said that poaching three Millwall players last summer was a huge success for Chelsea, but it is unlikely that they will want to poach Millwall players this summer, or even continue to work hard in this area in the future!

Why?

Because of Ashley Cole, they set an example.

Their lack of impactful success at Chelsea has tempted Millwall players who have nothing but money in their eyes, and other stars who may shy away from Chelsea.

Going to Chelsea?

Look for bad luck!

Abu probably knew that it was not realistic, so he did not continue the topic.

Subsequently, he mentioned two names.

Kenyon had a thoughtful look on his face when he heard the names of the two world-class stars.

Finally, he said to Abu: "We are doing our best to bring them to Stamford Bridge in the summer. ”

The two names mentioned in Abu's mouth are also related to Millwall, once.

One is AC Milan's leading goalscorer, Shevchenko, who has a good personal relationship with Abou.

The other is midfield core Ballack, who has only one year left on his contract at Bayern Munich. (To be continued......)
