Episode [175]: Victory Often Comes From Change
In a VIP box at the Emirates Stadium, Abramovich looked very ugly.
This Abramovich really did not expect Jose Mourinho to be so stubborn and so bold that he dared to go against his wishes and not let Shevchenko play.
Before the game, Abramovich said in front of the whole world that Shevchenko must play. Today, this guy let Shevchenko sit on the bench. Isn't this slapping Abramovich in the face in public?
It's no wonder Abramovich is not angry at this time.
Kenyon, the CEO of Chelsea, immediately whispered next to Abramovich: "Boss, this Portuguese is too rampant, and he doesn't take your words to heart, what audacity!"
Abramovich stared at the court with a gloomy face.
Suddenly, Abramovich said in a low voice: "Is he always like this in the team?"
Kenyon immediately said: "Yes! In the team, everything about the team is controlled by him, and no one is allowed to interfere, not even my executive CEO. The team is him Jose Murray Neo wants to speak out, we are all for him!"
Abramovich raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you going to help him too?"
Kenyon nodded and said, "Yes, he has a strong desire to control the team. However, our results have indeed improved a lot in the past two years, and he is still a relatively talented person!"
Abramovich snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! If I spend so much money and he can't do anything, then he's just a waste!"
Kenyon chuckled and said, "Hehe, that's that!"
Abramovich pondered for a while, and then said: "After going back, the team can't continue like this. Some things can't be controlled by him. We indulged him too much before!"
Kenyon immediately said: "But once he takes back some power, will this cause him to rebound?"
Abramovich snorted coldly: "It's up to him. Besides, it's uncertain whether he can stay in our Chelsea team for a long time!"
Kenyon was startled, his eyes widened. It seemed that Abramovich was really planning to change coaches.
Prior to this, there have been rumors that Chelsea will change coaches. But Kenyon, as the team's executive CEO, has never heard of this, and these are all speculations by media reporters. But today he heard the news from Abramovich. It seems that Abramovich really wanted to replace Jose Mourinho.
Kenyon is a little worried. To be honest, Jose Mourinho's ability is still very strong. If he stays, Chelsea's results are guaranteed. If he leaves, Chelsea will be in a bit of limbo.
But Kenyon didn't make it clear to Jose Mourinho, because he could tell that Abramovich really wanted to change coaches this time.
Abramovich is also a person with character. It is difficult for anyone to change the decisions he makes. Therefore, Kenyon did not ask for trouble, and after sending Jose Mourinho away, no matter who comes, he will definitely have more power in his hands.
Because Abramovich will definitely not let what happened to Jose Mourinho happen again, so the departure of Jose Mourinho is very beneficial to Kenyon.
Kenyon has no need and right to make life difficult.
Kenyon turned his head to look at Jose Mourinho in the stadium, and thought to himself: "It seems that you don't have many opportunities, I hope you can seize the opportunity yourself!"
━━━Separation line━━━
Inside the pitch, Jose Mourinho stands on the sidelines, arms folded.
Jose Mourinho in a suit stared at the stadium, chewing gum slowly in his mouth, he didn't yell like other coaches, he just stood there quietly.
At this time, Jose Mourinho's attention was all on the game, and he would not think of Abramovich's mood at all. His eyes are only on the game, only goals.
The tactics of Chelsea and Leeds United are all defensive counterattacks as imagined.
However, Chelsea's defensive counterattack is more about the high-position press, and the counterattack directly and quickly after stealing the ball. Leeds United's defense lies in oppression and strength, just like a meat grinder.
The two teams met together, and Jose Mourinho made a slight change to his tactics, that is, to attack and storm Leeds United.
Chelsea's offense is more on the two sides. Their wide players are fast, have excellent ability to hold the ball, and have strong breakthrough ability. Therefore, when they come up, Chelsea's offense is very impressive.
Chelsea's central attack was full of impact. Lampard and Michael Ballack escorted Drogba in front. This impact really caused Leeds United to be late.
Now, in the stadium, the Chelsea club has a certain advantage.
Therefore, Jose Mourinho will be so calm at this time.
Zhong Cheng was dressed in formal attire, standing on the sidelines, constantly playing with a piece of green grass in his hands, staring at the court, observing the trend of the game.
In the current situation, Leeds United are at a disadvantage, but Zhong Cheng is not worried at all.
Because as long as Leeds United chooses a defensive counterattack game, Leeds United will be at a disadvantage. You can see that Leeds United are at a disadvantage. In fact, their goals are not threatened much. Although the defense line looks a bit chaotic, it is chaotic and orderly. This confuses Chelsea.
Just now, Drogba received a cross from Arjen Robben from the wing, kicked a heavy shot, and was directly blocked by Pique out of the bottom line.
Leeds United's defense seems to be in a mess, but Pique's blocking looks very calm and not messy at all. In key positions, Leeds United are still standing firmly.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng turned his head and glanced at Jose Mourinho.
Unexpectedly, Jose Mourinho's eyes were also projected over, and when the eyes of the two met, sparks flew all over the place.
Zhong Cheng's heart trembled, Jose Mourinho really deserved his reputation.
In the pitch, the corner, Chelsea's corner.
Arjen Robben of the Chelsea team sent the football into the Leeds United penalty area with a curved ball. Drogba rushed forward in the middle of the penalty area. Jump high and get ready to head the ball. It's a pity that the football was held in his arms by Zhong Zheng who rushed out.
The Chelsea fans at the scene suddenly became tense and dangerous.
Hugging the football, Zhong Cheng rushed out quickly, and then threw the ball viciously to Bresciano, who was running forward from the side, with a strong hand. A man came over with a sliding shovel and directly shoveled the football out of the sideline.
Leeds United's counterattack was disintegrated without a fight.
Bresciano was slightly startled, and looked down, it turned out to be Makelele, why is this guy so fast, shouldn't this guy be fighting for points in the penalty area? How did you come to this position?
Bresciano frowned tightly, thinking carefully in his heart.
Zhong Cheng immediately turned his head and looked at Jose Mourinho. Unexpectedly, Jose Mourinho was nodding slightly to him with a smile on his face.
Zhong Cheng's heart trembled again, this Jose Mourinho really lived up to his reputation.
━━━Separation line━━━
Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson sit in a corner of the stands at the Emirates Stadium.
If the media reporters see it, they will definitely go crazy. These two big shots are sitting here! It's incredible, it's shocking.
But at this moment, the two were sitting here very quietly, watching quietly.
Suddenly, Arsene Wenger asked: "Who do you think will win this match?"
Alex Ferguson stared at the court, shook his head and said: "These two boys are not easy to deal with. Can you see that, this game has been at a stalemate from the beginning. These two boys prepared before the game. It's very full!"
Arsene Wenger also nodded, and said: "Now it depends on which of the two prepares more changes and surprises. This match is almost down to whom!"
Arsene Wenger can naturally see that the two teams seem to be playing fiercely now, but they are actually just testing. These are their regular styles of play. Now everyone knows that it is not realistic to rely on things to win. Now it is mainly the changes of the two teams.
Alex Ferguson said with a chuckle, "Mr. Wenger sees it very clearly. But I want to know, who do you think is more optimistic? Who do you think will win?"
Arsene Wenger's eyes were also turned to the stadium, watching steadily.
Suddenly Arsene Wenger said: "To be honest, I am more optimistic about that lunatic. This guy is often unexpected, and he always has endless tricks. Moreover, Leeds United were well trained by him, and the current Chelsea team There are still some problems inside!"
Arsene Wenger's meaning is obvious. He is optimistic about Zhong Cheng's Leeds United in this game.
Alex Ferguson kept nodding and said, "Yes, you are right. Jose Mourinho is going to suffer this time!"
Although both of them seem to be optimistic about Zhong Cheng, they both know that it will be very difficult for Zhong Cheng to win this game, and maybe they will be backlashed by Chelsea.
Suddenly, Arsene Wenger asked: "Do you think it's true that Jose Mourinho is going to be fired?"
Arsene Wenger can naturally see that Jose Mourinho is a very characteristic and capable head coach. If he were the chairman of Chelsea, he would never send Jose Mourinho away. But, alas, he is not the chairman of Chelsea.
Alex Ferguson said with a smile: "I think you know about Abramovich. Although what we see now are some rumors from the outside world, there is no confirmation. But, I think, as long as Once you see Abramovich's character clearly, you can see through the essence of this matter!"
Arsene Wenger nodded and sighed: "Sure enough, those of us who are head coaches are not the kind of people who control everything. We are just part-time workers!"
Alex Ferguson turned to look at Arsene Wenger. This is no ordinary Arsene Wenger, what does this guy mean by saying that? Could it be that Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho have the same fate and are about to be fired?
Alex Ferguson was startled, if this was the case, something big would happen.
