The League Cup semi-finals are two rounds, so in the 77th minute of the game, after Chelsea was tied by Wycombe, Jose rejected Wang Ai's initiative to fight and sent the eager youngster Sinclair on. Due to the large lineup
The team changed and the cooperation was unfamiliar, so the final score was locked at 1:1.
When Wang Ai left the court, he was still thinking that this was probably Jose's demonstration to the board of directors with practical actions: You asked me to use teenagers, okay, I did, one played for an hour and the other for 15 minutes, but you guys
See it?
Wang Ai did nothing but ask Xu Qinglian to go shopping with Mathilde after the game.
However, Wang Ai's small move obviously could not quell Jose's accumulated anger. After the game, he applied to the board of directors again to buy players. It may be that the fact that young players are not useful has offset the Dutchman's slander. The board of directors said: they will seriously consider it.
However, the real response of the board of directors has a bit of British black humor: it is planning to hire Portsmouth's technical director Avram Grant. This Israeli can speak Russian and can help Sheva get back to form... The board of directors is also plausible:
This is called revitalizing existing assets! Activating a Sheva is equivalent to spending 4,000 euros to buy new people!
Jose is not opposed to the board of directors helping Sheva, but what he wants is not a forward, but a central defender. Especially since the board of directors hired Grant as his assistant at the cost of demanding the dismissal of his close assistant Clark!
In fact, although Jose also said a lot of good things about Sheva in the summer, Chelsea does not need Sheva. The rotation of Drogba + Crespo is enough to solve the problem, not to mention that behind them there is Lampard +
The arrival of Wang Ai and Sheva, a powerful attacking combination, did not help Jose's tactical vision. It was just out of respect for the boss, or force majeure, that he expressed his support against his will.
But what he really wants has always been full-backs and central defenders, and strengthening defense is also in line with his football aesthetics.
However, the arrival of Sheva is very important to the club. His commercial value alone can rival Drogba + Crespo. His style of play and even himself are Mr. Roman's Chelsea "from victory to elegance"
The strategic goals of the second stage are based on the gathering of wealthy people in West London, and only elegant playing style can win their appreciation.
The conflict between Jose and Mr. Roman gradually became irreconcilable around the use of Sheva. In the winter when a special case was injured and the central defender was in urgent need of reinforcements, this conflict suddenly intensified.
If the previous conflict about Sheva was just about Chelsea's tactical adjustment, then at this stage, the conflict surrounding Sheva is his transfer fee of up to 46 million euros. Jose's idea is: With this 46 million, he can buy it
Three central defenders! You said there was no money in the winter. If you hadn't bought Sheva, how could you have no money? It was your tactical mistake to use up the scheduled transfer fee and buy such a useless person.
You don’t respect my opinion as a professional who built Chelsea’s tactical system!
In other words: You insist on going your own way and act recklessly, and you are responsible for the current team's poor record!
Of course the board of directors understands what Jose means. Objectively speaking, not all of them regret buying Sheva. However, the workers want their bosses to bow their heads... What are they thinking? All socialist countries that emerged after the color revolution
Which of the richest people is not stained with the blood and tears of the proletariat?
Jose’s annual salary is 7.5 million euros, which is also a proletariat!
Mr. Roman will not admit his mistake, but blames Jose for not using Sheva well. The same person was the Ukrainian nuclear warhead last season and is "Mr. 67 Minutes" this season. What is the problem? I spent so much money to buy it for you
Man, if you don’t use it well, you blame me for buying the wrong one?
Okay, okay! I think your assistant didn’t help Sheva properly, so I’m going to fire your assistant and replace him with an active Sheva who understands Russian! I don’t believe that Slavs can’t play football, I’m... Slavic
Long live!
Mr. Roman, who had lost his temper, was still very angry even though he still did not curse openly like ordinary Russians.
In the four days between the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals on January 9 and the 23rd round of the Premier League on January 13, the interactions between Chelsea's various factions dazzled the outside world. Jose wanted to buy someone; the board of directors agreed; and then the board of directors decided
Want to "buy" assistant coach; Jose...
Jose gave the board an ultimatum: buy me players or fire me!
Jose signed a five-year contract with the club. If the club fires him early, he will pay Jose a liquidated damages of 36 million pounds! Jose's agent is the famous Portuguese agent Mendes, and this guy will squeeze the most out of him!
At one time, he tried to be Wang Ai's agent, but Wang Ai politely declined. Because although this guy partially controlled the European transfer market, had a large number of strong men under his command, and made a lot of money, he and various wealthy clubs
The relationship between them is very bad. Wang Ai, a Chinese under his command, might become a typical example of "profit-seeking" in football. Jose is not afraid, and Ronaldo is not afraid either. Wang Ai is afraid!
After Jose issued the ultimatum, news spread that he was leaving, which also caused a series of shocks inside and outside the team. Externally, Ferguson and Wenger gave speeches at the same time, expressing their approval of Jose; internally, with special
Led by Terry, Drogba publicly spoke to persuade Jose to stay. Terry even said: I will hate the person who drives him away! Terry even went so far as to sign a collective signature to express his opinions to the board of directors.
Such a massive move frightened the board of directors. They probably didn't expect Jose to be so popular. His two old rivals, Ferguson and Wenger, who had had several wars of words with him, came out to express their respects. It was unimaginable.
Training product Terry's jump and general Drogba's resistance were both unexpected. What's more serious is that Lampard, who received a souvenir of 300 appearances in the FA Cup, refused the club's invitation to renew his contract, even if the club opened
A condition of a weekly salary of 121,000 pounds was given.
It is said that Calderon of Real Madrid is preparing to invite Jose to the Bernabeu with him. Although he still has not participated in the recent ups and downs of the club like Wang Ai, his refusal to renew the contract is the strongest statement in itself!
Mr. Roman backed down, and he instructed the board of directors to withdraw the decision to fire Clark and instead agreed to find new foreign players. This allowed Chelsea to survive the biggest crisis since he took over and be able to welcome the 23rd round of the Premier League in a smooth manner.
However, his relationship with Jose has deteriorated beyond repair. What restricts Jose's departure is not liquidated damages, but time. Mr. Roman entered the football world and learned a new lesson: to successfully dismiss a highly respected head coach
, don’t be in a hurry, take your time.
