Chapter 59: A Place of Familiarity
Stamford Bridge!
Fiorentina visited the city last season, also in the semi-finals of the Champions League, a match that ended in a draw between Fiorentina and Chelsea, with Deegan and Didier Drogba becoming key players in their respective teams.
However, the most interesting thing about that game at that time was that Deegan refused to shake hands with Terry, and after the game, he also appeared to mock Terry.
At the time, it was not known what had happened, but now that it was all known, Terry brought his teammate Bridge a brightly colored green hat.
Originally, in the previous life, the outbreak of the Friends Wife Gate was in 2010, but the powerful English reporter began to suspect the abnormal performance of Degan, and gradually peeled off the cocoon, and finally dug out this big hole.
Bridge transferred to Manchester City in a fit of rage, and Capello was also under heavy pressure to announce that he would strip Terry of the captain's armband of the national team.
It is reported that after Terry had an affair with Vanessa, the latter became pregnant, in order to cover up the truth, Terry paid for Vanessa's abortion surgery, and also gave her 20,000 pounds as compensation.
Now that the two teams are meeting again, before the game starts, Terry said that he wants to make Degan look good in the game, to which Deegan responded: "That guy can't take care of his belt, and now he is shifting the blame to someone else, it's just inexplicable!" ”
When the reporter asked why Deegan was able to predict the prophet, Deegan just smiled mysteriously: "I don't know anything, I just hate that guy!" ”
Stamford Bridge is not an unfamiliar place to the Fiorentina players, and it is also a familiar place for Beckham, who has just joined Fiorentina not long ago.
The day before the game, the Fiorentina team arrived in London and went to Stamford Bridge for training, and it has to be said that this stadium has been transformed by Roman Abramovich, and it is indeed different.
Last season, when Fiorentina came to play here, the turf was in terrible condition, but now, it's absolutely top-notch.
"It's a lot better here than it was back then!" Beckham gently stepped on the turf and felt it carefully.
It is very important to train on the field before the game, which can avoid accidental injuries caused by unfamiliar fields during the game.
Digan laughed when he heard this: "David! When you were at Manchester United, you beat Chelsea a lot, so I hope you can bring us good luck tomorrow! ”
Beckham smiled and didn't speak, the current Chelsea is completely different from when he played in the Premier League, when Chelsea was owned by Bates, now the Russian oligarch Abramovich, the original Chelsea manager was Ranieri, and now after Mourinho, Grant and Scolari, it has become Hiddink. Most of the players from Chelsea have now left.
Although he has returned to the familiar England, Beckham can be said to be very unfamiliar with Chelsea.
The only thing that remains unchanged is probably the attitude of the fans towards him, as the original generation of Manchester United's standard-bearer, Beckham can be said to be shouted by everyone in London, who made Manchester United where he played at that time the hegemon of the Premier League, people hate the house and Wu, and treat Beckham, the British idol, the fans are quite unbuying.
So much so that Pacini teased: "David! Now that you're here, Rhodes doesn't have to worry about someone scolding him in the stands when he plays! ”
Of course, if it weren't for Terry's, Deegan would have really been able to clean his ears, and now that Terry's flower thief has spoken, Chelsea fans are the same enemy, and it is estimated that by the time the game starts, nothing will happen.
Sure enough, on the day of the game, as soon as Deegan appeared, the deafening boos of the fans at the scene could almost knock Deegan into slag, looking at the triumphant appearance of Terry next to him, Deegan was amused and speechless.
What are you proud of?
A brute who stabbed his brother twice for a woman!
When shaking hands, Deegan ignored Terry, and Terry was ready this time, floating directly in front of Deegan like a gust of wind.
The referee on duty sighed in his heart: It's not easy again!
Digan is not worried about Chelsea's players on the pitch, the people are still those people, the only difference is that Serbian Branislav Ivanovic has replaced Carvalho as the main force in Chelsea's defence, and he has partnered John Terry at centre-back.
Other positions are still the old faces, Drogba, Malouda, Ashley. Cole, Ballack and Frank Lampard are not much new.
The only thing that put an exclamation point on Deegan was Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink.
Hiddink's predecessor was Brazilian Scolari, who lost his job by failing to lead Portugal to the main draw of the European Championships, but he soon found a new job at Chelsea, who started the season unbeaten in 13 games in all competitions and finished first in the Premier League.
However, from late October 2008, the team's unbeaten streak of 86 home league games was ended with a home defeat to Liverpool, and the team's form began to decline.
In the Champions League group stage, Chelsea are in danger of being eliminated if they fail to win before the final round.
After that, the team failed to win at home in the league and lost to Arsenal while taking the lead. Since the beginning of the new year, the team's form has not improved. After successive away defeats to Manchester United and Liverpool, Chelsea have largely said goodbye to the league title race.
On the building side of the squad, Scolari has on more than one occasion raised objections to the club's management's inadequacy in acquiring players, while within the squad, his feud with key striker Didier Drogba has become public.
Finally, just after the new year, Chelsea announced that Scolari had been terminated from his contract, and from his official appointment on 1 July 2008 to today's departure, the Brazilian coach Scolari was Chelsea's head coach for a total of 224 days.
Scolari spent half a year at Chelsea, but in the end, he failed and left in disgrace, replaced by the head coach of the Russian national team, Guus Hiddink.
Not the former head coach of the Russian national team, because now Hiddink is also the head coach of the Russian national team, coming to Chelsea, to put it bluntly, the Dutchman is a short-term McKee, and he will leave after the end of this season.
Everyone says Hiddink is magical, but unfortunately in the European Cup, Hiddink's Russian team lost to Spain in the semifinals, so that Degan missed an opportunity.
The results achieved by coaching the team are magical, and Hiddink's style of action is also a bit fairy, with the national team on one side and the club on the other, Hiddink can still play well.
In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the European qualifiers, the Russian team is now in a good situation, and Chelsea is gradually recovering under his leadership.
It was previously revealed that Abramovich very much wanted Hiddink to stay at the end of the season, but Hiddink's answer was very simple: no way!
People are playing unfathomable, what is a master, you have a problem, I will come to help, and I will go to the laundry, and hide the merit and fame, this is called a master.
Lai Lai Baba's begging for a high salary and begging for support is something that no one can do, and Hiddink disdains it.
Of course, a head coach can't decide the outcome of a game, football is played by players, no matter how clever the tactical arrangement is, the players' execution ability is not strong, and they still can't play.
However, from the very beginning of the game, Deegan felt that the current Chelsea people were still the same as before, but they gave him a completely different feeling.
Beckham made a long pass in the middle, if it was in the past, this ball must have been Degan's, he was also careless, he had already stood in position, but he didn't expect Terry to suddenly rush out, a scramble, and pushed the ball out.
After landing, Terry also raised his head at Degan very arrogantly, two big nostrils, and even the nose hair was clearly visible!
There are two hits!
Deegan was not distracted by a failed attack, and immediately picked himself up and continued the game.
But gradually, Digan realized that something was wrong, Fiorentina seemed to have been completely cut by Chelsea, and the forward line formed by him and Mutu was completely unsupported by the midfield.
Under the repeated impact of Chelsea, the formation of the midfield has also become a little messy, especially the positions of Modric and Montolivo, which are completely out of order.
Fortunately, Marchena and Beckham performed well and were able to support the team's midfield defence, with two centre-backs, Kompany and Thiago. Silva also performed very well, allowing Drogba to make several head-on strikes to no avail.
After a few fruitless attacks, Hiddink waved his hand and Chelsea immediately changed tactics, moving away from attacking the middle and switching to two flanks, especially on the right side of Maggio's play.
Frank Lampard, Ashley. The continuous onslaught of Kerr and Kalou made Maggio obviously unable to support it.
At this time, Fiorentina's biggest problem appeared, Maggio's physical fitness, because of Abate's transfer, Maggio did not have a full-time substitute at all this season, and the young player Desiglio was still very immature, and most of the time, Bonucci could only be used to rotate Maggio's position.
But as the season drew to a close, the competition became more and more intensive, and the opponents became stronger and stronger, Maggio could only fight continuously, and he didn't see anything before, so today's problem broke out.
Was it arranged before the game?
Deegan looked at Hiddink on the sidelines, and he realized that this old man was really a little divine!
