1011 Only allowed to win, not allowed to lose!
Unlike the Spanish media focusing on Barcelona's turmoil, the British media pays more attention to the news that Chelsea and Ancelotti gathered in the Champions League final, and whether the Blues' miserable Yang Yang will score another goal in the final.
A year ago, Ancelotti was disgraced from Chelsea. He didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to the players in the locker room. After the team played away, they returned to London on the bus and received a dismissal from the club's management.
This incident caused a stir at that time. Everyone was angry at Chelsea's behavior, believing that they lacked the minimum respect for the head coach, and even Ferguson publicly stood up to criticize Chelsea's approach.
At that time, the reason why Abramovich fired Ancelotti was that he felt that under Ancelotti's coach, he could not see that Chelsea had hope of winning the championship, especially the Champions League championship.
Times changed, and a year later, Ancelotti led Real Madrid to the finals.
Of course, Chelsea also entered the finals, but the team was led by Ancelotti's successor Boas, but Italian head coach Di Matteo who put out the fire in midway in March. More importantly, Chelsea currently ranked sixth in the Premier League, and it can be said that it has basically lost the qualification to compete for the Champions League next season.
In other words, unless you win the Champions League, Chelsea will not even be able to play in the Europa League next season.
This is also the reason why Chelsea has tried their best to compete for the Champions League in recent times.
Moreover, as a group of players such as Drogba grew older, Chelsea's reorganization this summer is imperative, but at this critical moment, Abramovich began to tighten his money and refused to increase investment in the team's lineup. This is undoubtedly quite worrying. Many media even revealed that this will be Chelsea's last chance to strive for the Champions League.
...
The Guardian has published a special topic to explain to readers the grudges and entanglements between Abramovich's Chelsea, Yang Yang and Ancelotti in Real Madrid, and revealed many truths that were not familiar to the outside world before.
Needless to say, the entanglement between Yang Yang and Chelsea. When he chose Liverpool, he has always been evidence that fans used to criticize and mock Abramovich. This time, the one who really attracted the attention was Ancelotti.
According to a reporter from the Guardian, Chelsea had two meetings with Ancelotti as early as 2008. At that time, the Blues had just fired Mourinho, but interestingly, this was supposed to be a confidential meeting, but it was quickly revealed by the media after the meeting. Then Chelsea used this as an excuse to refuse to contact Ancelotti again and chose Scolari.
In the summer of 2009, Chelsea fired Scolari and contacted Ancelotti again. However, Ancelotti was always concerned about Real Madrid and wanted to coach the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship. Unfortunately, Real Madrid chose Benitez at that time, and Ancelotti finally went to Chelsea. For this reason, he also went to the Netherlands to study English.
In everyone's eyes, Ancelotti's first season coaching Chelsea was undoubtedly successful because of the double championship, but the Guardian revealed that this was not the case, because as early as the beginning of the season, Ancelotti's team lost to Vigan Sports 1-3 away after five consecutive victories. As a result, the next day, Abramovich publicly put pressure on Ancelotti on the training ground and asked for an explanation.
Subsequently, similar things happened repeatedly, especially after Chelsea was eliminated from the Champions League, Abramovich put huge pressure on Ancelotti. In the end, the team won two trophies in the Premier League and the FA Cup, becoming one of the few double champions in English football history, but still failed to gain Abramovich's heart-to-heart trust.
"The boss always feels that the team can win the double championship after the season is more due to his supervision, and Ancelotti is just providing some help." An internal manager who did not want to be named revealed.
This unstable relationship became more and more intense in the second year of Ancelotti's coaching. First, the summer transfer requested by Ancelotti was not supported, while the team's aging became more and more serious. By November, Ancelotti was still at the top, but after losing to Liverpool by zero to two, assistant coach Wilkins was ordered to be dismissed by Abramovich.
"Ancelotti believes that this is the boss' warning to him to express his dissatisfaction with the loss to Liverpool." An insider revealed, "because Ancelotti was completely kept in the dark during the entire process of firing Wilkins. Then, the club management arranged for Emerallo to join Ancelotti's coaching team to play a supervisory role."
"In fact, Emeralo was a scout before, good at examining players and opponent analysis, but never worked as an assistant coach. His appearance made Ancelotti and all the first team players uneasy."
But Abramovich obviously became increasingly disrespectful to Ancelotti. He even showed that before the game, he left Ancelotti specifically after he gave a lecture to all the players and told him directly, "If you can't win this game, you don't have to come back to work."
"The boss said this in a joke-like tone, but everyone knew it was his last warning, and he always did because he was the boss of the team."
Unfortunately, Ancelotti's team lost to Manchester United in the subsequent game.
...
The Guardian finally believed that firing Ancelotti was not a smart decision, especially in this way, but this is not the first time Abramovich has done this, so far, that no well-known coach is willing to take over Chelsea.
After Chelsea was dismissed, Ancelotti immediately switched to Real Madrid, leading Real Madrid to beat Barcelona in La Liga this season, leading the way, reaching the finals in the Copa del Rey and reaching the finals in the Champions League, with great hope of winning the triple crown.
"The Italians use iron scores to tell the world that it is not that his coaching ability is not good, but that there are too many other factors that have influenced his coaching at Chelsea, especially Abramovich."
The Guardian also said that this would be a wonderful Champions League final as Ancelotti will lead Real Madrid to revenge on Chelsea.
"Yang Yang, will this [first love] that Abramovich wants but cannot get, once again cruelly hurt the Russians?"
…………
…………
"fart!"
On the top of the luxury cruise ship at Canary Wharf in London, Abramovich lined up the newspaper in his hand on the table with force, and he seemed to be furious.
Marina Granovskiya, the personal assistant sitting opposite him, was also trembling and did not dare to show off.
At this time, whoever comes forward will be unlucky.
"How could the Guardian know so much? Even all the details are reported clearly. Where did they get the information?" A sharp look flashed in Abramovich's eyes, "There must be an insider in our club. Someone must be informing the media. Check it immediately. I must find out the truth."
Granovskiya looked at the nose and the nose, but he still didn't say a word, but his brain turned quickly.
Check out the inner demon?
This is not a good idea.
Modern football and the media are like twins, interdependent. Although the media is highly dependent on club news to promote sales, clubs often need to use the media to achieve some goals, such as transfer temptations, or other pressures, and cover up some news that they do not want to be known to the outside world.
The British media is highly developed, and Premier League players have close contacts with media practitioners. This is no longer a big secret. It is like Lampard having a close relationship with Martin Samuel of the Daily Mail, and Terry, who is also a close friend of a large number of media practitioners.
To check who leaked the news, it is to doubt everyone. In the end, the result is often that nothing can be found, and instead offends the players in vain. This is always the stupidest decision in internal management.
Of course, Granovskiya would definitely not dare to say that in this case, she could only be obedient. This is the reason why she was able to stay with Abramovich for so many years and her status was still rising.
Abramovich is undoubtedly an extremely domineering and highly controlled person. Anyone who can become a world-class rich man like him has a strong personality, but this does not mean that he will lose his mind.
The reason why Mourinho was fired, Ancelotti, Boas and others was fired, was just because in his eyes, these people were nothing. He believed that in the world of professional football, what he could not buy without money is the only thing he wanted to buy.
Now, he was just angry and venting his mind, and soon he regained his rationality.
"Marina." Abramovich turned his head and shouted.
"Boss." Granovskiya quickly got out of the statue and replied immediately.
"You go to the club first, and tell them that you can't lose this Champions League final no matter what. I want to win. If they dare to lose, they don't have to go back to Chelsea!" Abramovich said gritting his teeth.
"I understand." Granovskiya agreed.
This is indeed Abramovich's style. He has said such things to more than once, and has not only one person.
It’s like the boss of a company, it’s normal to say this to a department manager who can satisfy him in his performance.
The only difference is that the team's head coach and players are more resounding.
But sometimes, it is actually a very pleasant thing to fire these unattainable stars in the eyes of fans in minutes.
"Tell Buck again, let him keep a close eye on me. I will supervise the Champions League finals myself and cannot lose no matter what. I will see the team defeat Real Madrid at Allianz Stadium!" Abramovich said ruthlessly.
He never mentioned Yang Yang or Ancelotti from beginning to end, but Granovskiya knew very well that Abramovich was angry because of these two people.
But the encounter in the finals made the British media hype. If Real Madrid really got three consecutive championships on Chelsea's body, wouldn't Abramovich always be the laughing stock of others?
This is something that the Russians cannot accept anyway.
Chapter completed!
