Chapter 285 Abu was stunned!

“I didn’t expect that the wine here is quite delicious.”

In the VIP box, Abramovich was sipping wine and chatting with Chairman Bruce Buck and CEO Ron Gurray.

The sound insulation of this VIP box is excellent. As long as the door is closed, you can basically not hear the noise outside, so whether the fans outside are singing or cheering, it will not affect their conversations.

The focus of their conversation was, of course, the coaching position at Chelsea Club.

"Otherwise, it would be better to continue with Mourinho." Bruce Buck took a sip of wine and said, "Although the third place result in the league is not great, it is still reasonable."

"But he only reached the quarterfinals in the Champions League." Abramovich shook his head. "This is far from my expectations. If this is considered a good result, then why should I replace Bennett?

Si?"

In the 2012-2013 season, Di Matteo was dismissed after his team was eliminated in the Champions League group stage, and Benitez immediately took over as the coach of the Blues.

In the end, Master Bei led the team to third place in the Premier League and made great progress in the Europa League, defeating Benfica 2-1 in the final.

In other words, if compared horizontally, Benitez's record is not worse than Mourinho.

The Premier League is also third, and the European competition is a Europa League champion versus a Champions League quarter-finals.

Although the Europa League is indeed a level lower than the Champions League, they are the champions after all, and when Master Bei came, he had no choice but to play in the Europa League.

Under such circumstances, Abramovich still fired Benitez!

This also shows that Abramovich has high requirements for the head coach.

In fact, he fired a total of 13 head coaches during his tenure at Chelsea, and the total cost of termination payments alone was more than 100 million pounds...

He really loves the club and is really not short of money, but working under him is really not possible without some real ability.

"Uh..." Bruce Buck, who knew the boss's temper well, quickly changed his goal, "There are indeed fewer good coaches on the market now. Klopp of Dortmund, or Tuchel of Mainz, these are all

He is a coach who has performed well recently..."

"But aren't they all Pan Yi's losers?" Abramovich snorted, "I don't even like him, so why would I choose them?"

After a pause, Abramovich suddenly said: "How about we try to contact Guardiola?"

"But..." Bruce Buck hesitated, "Isn't he also Pan Yi's loser? With Bayern, the Bundesliga championship was snatched away by Hamburg."

"After all, he won the Champions League with Barcelona." Abramovich flicked the wine glass in his hand, "This is the championship I want most..."

"I heard that Guardiola was not very happy at Bayern, and Bayern's senior management also intended to replace him." CEO Ron Guerray, who had been silent at the side, said.

"Is that so... do you know who Bayern's new target is?" Abramovich thought for a moment and asked, "If Bayern thinks the new target is better than Guardiola, wouldn't it be better for us to directly contact the other one?

"

This turn was a bit sharp, and both executives were stunned.

Ron Gurlay finally reacted, and then pointed out the window: "That's Hamburg's current head coach, Pan Yi."

"Oh." Abramovich shook his head, "As you can see today, he is still too young. Ancelotti is much more mature than him, otherwise we should let Ancelotti come?"

Ancelotti coached Chelsea for two years from 2009 to 2011, winning the Premier League and FA Cup double in his first year.

But in the second year, Anshuai led the team to the Premier League runner-up and only reached the quarterfinals in the Champions League, which eventually led to his dismissal by Abramovich.

This decision has been criticized by future generations, and many people believe that the Blues lost a master tactician as a result.

Looking back now, the results of Anshuai's leadership are actually very outstanding, so Abramovich wants to "turn back" - just like re-inviting Mourinho to return to Chelsea.

But Bruce Buck shook his head: "If Ancelotti leads the team to win the Champions League, it may not be that easy for us to pry Real Madrid's wall..."

In today's world football, when it comes to the team's attractiveness to players and coaches, Real Madrid says it is second, but I'm afraid no club dares to say it is number one.

People who want to poach Real Madrid, unless they don't want to, actually rarely take the initiative.

Even Chelsea and Manchester City, who have been waving checks in their hands in recent years, can't do it!

That's why Bruce Buck expressed his concerns like this.

Abramovich naturally understands.

He sighed and said: "You do your best. After the game is over, try to make contact. Offer a higher salary. Let's talk about our good cooperation three years ago. Maybe he will be tempted."

The two executives looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Then, Abramovich stood up and walked towards the box door facing the stadium:

"We're probably three or four goals ahead now, right? It's hard to say that Ancelotti will lead the team in the Champions League..."

Then, the door was opened, and the fans' singing and cheering suddenly entered the VIP box.

Then, Abramovich was stunned when he looked at the scoreboard above the court, and what he was saying suddenly stopped.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Bruce Buck and Ron Gourlay, who were behind Abramovich, thought something had happened to their boss and quickly followed him.

Then, the two of them stared at the scoreboard in stunned silence.

On the current scoreboard, it clearly says Hamburg 2, Real Madrid 2.

In other words, while they were drinking and chatting, Hamburg had already chased two goals in a row to tie the score!——

"It's already 75 minutes, aren't we going to make a substitution?"

In the Stadium of Light, Nagelsmann, who was sitting next to Pan Yi, tilted his head and asked softly.

Today is a bit unusual.

According to normal Pan Yi, at this point, it is almost time to change people.

Because at this point in the game, both the opponent's and our own players will be a little tired. Substitutions at this time will often have miraculous effects.

Pan Yi's on-the-spot command is comparable to art, and substitutions are magical. I don't know how many games have been played in which substitutions have changed the trend of the game.

But now he is just sitting there, eyes fixed on the court, and seems to have no idea of ​​substitutions and adjustments.

"We fought very hard today, especially in the second half." Nagelsmann felt that Pan Yi didn't hear what he said, so he leaned closer and said, "Look at Wu Lei, the distance he has run so far

It’s been eight or nine kilometers, and I feel like I’m going to get cramps from running.”

Wu Lei has always been regarded as a "physically challenged" member of the team. Even with Pintus' guidance and a lot of practice, it is still difficult to withstand the full-court running under high-intensity confrontation.

Of course, his "difficulty" is compared to those "beasts" in the Hamburg team, such as Kante, Paulinho, Robertson... who can run one after another.

If the Champions League was not about shooting the ball into the goal, but asking all players to run long distances, I am afraid that the championship would have been taken away by Hamburg.

In addition to his poor physical fitness, Wu Lei also has another characteristic, which is that he is particularly active when he is excited.

This will certainly allow him to cover a wider area of ​​the court, but it will also increase the consumption of his own physical fitness, because sometimes he will have more ineffective runs.

This is also an area where he needs to strengthen and improve in the future.

In short, whether from real-time data or naked eye observation, Nagelsmann could come to the conclusion that "Wu Lei can't run anymore", but Pan Yi was indifferent, so the Germans felt a little surprised.

Keen observation has always been Pan Yi's characteristic!

When Nargelsmann almost kissed Pan Yi on the face, Pan Yi finally responded.

He pushed Nagelsmann out slightly and said with a look of disgust: "There's no rush."

Nagelsmann was stunned: "No rush? But the game is over in only ten minutes? Real Madrid are warming up, and it feels like substitutions will be made soon."

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet." Pan Yi said lightly.

After a pause, Pan Yi seemed to have thought of something and smiled: "That's right. You can also let all the substitute players warm up first. This is a really good idea!"

"This..." Nagelsmann scratched his head.

He asked all the substitute players to warm up, and he didn't say whether or who to replace. He really didn't know what medicine Pan Yi was selling in his gourd today!

Inzaghi on the other side patted Nagelsmann on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's get someone to warm up. Don't guess what the boss is thinking!"

Nagelsmann had no choice but to take the order and leave.

Inzaghi was right. Sometimes it was really difficult for him to guess Pan Yi's thoughts, but in the end Pan Yi was often proved to be right...

So not long after, the players on Hamburg's bench, including substitute goalkeeper Drobny, put on training vests and started to warm up, looking as if they were ready to be replaced at any time.

This look was naturally seen by Ancelotti in front of the coaching bench on the other side.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.

Isn't this a trick some coaches often play?

Let a bunch of people warm up, and then you can't guess whether or who they will replace.

What use does this kind of trick have for an experienced coach like Ancelotti?

But soon, Ancelotti's eyes suddenly widened and turned into his classic style again0_o

Because he thought of a possibility, a possibility that he had to guard against.

That is--

Is Pan Yi preparing for overtime or even a penalty shootout?

After all, this is a final that determines the outcome. It is entirely possible to tie the game in regular time and then go into overtime and then take a penalty kick.
To be continued...
