This is one of the prosperous areas of West London. In one of the apartment buildings that looks ordinary on the outside, the interior structure is extremely luxurious and magnificent.
This is one of the many residences of Chelsea's wealthy Russian owner Abramovich in London. He spent about 100 million pounds to buy these two adjacent apartments, and opened up the interior and renovated it to become his value.
One of many properties in Liancheng.
The Chelsea boss was watching a football match. However, his attention did not seem to be on the football match. He was a little distracted. After his press spokesman, John Manny, finished reporting his work, he sat down respectfully and then turned his attention.
On the TV screen, I happened to see Modric scoring for Inter Milan, and the Inter Milan people were celebrating the goal excitedly.
Yes, the Chelsea boss is watching the match between Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow. His Chelsea Champions League match had already been played yesterday. Chelsea was tied 0-0 by Schalke 04 away from home.
"Is this a lost ball?" John Manny muttered softly.
"What?" Abramovich came to his senses and saw the entire goal process replayed on TV. Inter Milan launched an attack from the backcourt. The entire attack process was smooth and smooth. CSKA Moscow's defense line was torn to pieces.
Terrible.
"What a loss..." Abramovich frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with CSKA Moscow's performance.
***********
Abramovich watches CSKA Moscow's games not just because it is the team of his native Russia. In fact, CSKA Moscow and Abramovich have a close relationship.
In 2003, Abramovich took over Chelsea and gradually turned the Blues into a Premier League giant and even a European champion. His takeover of Chelsea also increased Russia's interest in English football, and Chelsea became the favorite European club among Russian fans.
Although Abramovich took over Chelsea and made English football popular in Russia, not everyone supported his decision. Former Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov believed that his behavior was unpatriotic and even believed that he invested in Chelsea.
Rather than a certain domestic football club, this approach brings shame to Russia.
In view of this, Abramovich quickly responded.
Abramovich signed a three-year sponsorship contract with CSKA Moscow in the name of Sbi Company in 2004. At that time, CSKA Moscow won the Russian Super League championship under the leadership of head coach Valery Gasayev.
Five months after the sponsorship contract was signed, CSKA Moscow was drawn against Chelsea in the Champions League group stage, which led UEFA to launch an investigation into Abramovich’s relationship with CSKA, because according to relevant UEFA regulations, the club owned by the same owner
Two clubs cannot participate in the Champions League at the same time.
Fortunately, UEFA finally determined that Abramovich had no substantive relationship with CSKA Moscow and was just a pure commercial sponsor. The Champions League group stage continued, and Chelsea defeated CSKA twice, but the Moscow giants still owned Porto and Paris
Saint-Germain's team finished third.
Although according to the media, because of this UEFA investigation, in order to avoid suspicion, Abramovich's Sib's sponsorship of CSKA Moscow was terminated in 2005, and Abramovich sold his shares to Gazprom
Open Joint Stock Company, however, Abramovich still has great influence and control over CSKA Moscow, which is almost a semi-open secret in Russia.
That’s why Abramovich pays so much attention to CSKA Moscow and watches CSKA Moscow games in his spare time.
In the TV screen, the face of Inter Milan head coach Li Ang appeared. After finishing his goal celebration, the head coach had returned to the coaching bench and sat down, crossing his legs, looking relaxed and extremely confident.
On the other side, CSKA Moscow head coach Valery Gasayev seemed a little angry and yelled at his players from the sidelines.
"This goal is beautiful." Abramovich said suddenly.
John Manny didn't know what the boss meant, so he just nodded in agreement and said nothing.
***********
CSKA Moscow head coach Valery Gasayev kept waving hand gestures on the sidelines, indicating that his team should press out and put pressure on Inter Milan. This was not only the protection of their own defense, but also Gaza
Yev still hopes that his team can equalize the score as soon as possible.
However, the ideal is full and the reality is cruel.
After taking a one-goal lead, Inter Milan did not shrink its formation. Instead, it became more aggressive and continued to put pressure on CSKA Moscow's goal.
CSKA Moscow head coach Valery Gasayev's pre-match provocative behavior of "overestimating one's capabilities" not only angered Inter Milan head coach Leon, but also the Inter Milan players, who faithfully followed the coach's instructions
, vowing to teach CSKA Moscow a lesson.
This is another attack from Inter Milan.
Inter Milan originally made a fuss on the right, but the continuous passing and movement between David Silva, Maicon, and Aguero who dropped back to support CSKA Moscow on the left was like a formidable enemy.
Modric received Aguero's return pass, took a step forward, and suddenly passed it to Maicon. However, Maicon did not continue to move forward this time, but passed it back to Carlos, who pulled the ball and turned around.
Passed directly to the left wing.
The ball made a transition from Carlos to the feet of Mata on the left.
Mata directly dribbled the ball forward and broke through fiercely.
Inter Milan suddenly shifted the focus of their attack to Mata, and the Spanish teenager's sharp breakthrough immediately caught CSKA Moscow off guard.
Grigoriev quickly stepped forward to intercept.
However, the tall and powerful Russian international defender Mata looked a bit clumsy and embarrassed.
Mata directly moved the football to the side and accelerated past Grigoriev who was blocking the front like a wooden stake.
***********
Just when Mata was about to dribble the ball into the penalty area, V. Berezudski rushed out from the side and knocked Mata over!
"Oh! Foul! V. Berezudsky fouled! The referee showed a yellow card to V. Berezudsky, and Inter Milan got a chance to take a free kick..." Sky TV's British commentator
Mortensen said, "This foul was very timely. If V. Berezudsky did not foul, Matako would directly break into the penalty area... By then, even if you want to foul, it will be impossible! But, this
A yellow card will affect the CSKA Moscow captain's future matches."
