Chapter five hundred and twenty-eight of the chaos (4)
The "Spanish bearded man" may not think anything after reading such reports. Compared with Jose, Benitez is actually more maverick. Not only can he not get along with the media, he can't even get along with the players.
Go together, so he doesn’t care what others say. However, this report is serious for Jose. Although Wang Ai also agrees with some of the views: For example, after unsuccessful professional players become coaches, their desire for honor
It will add to the regrets of their professional player days.
But this matter must be looked at in reverse. It is much more difficult for unsuccessful professional players to become coaches than successful professional players. They have no reputation and can only rely on results; they do not have strong support from teammates and can only rely on results.
They are walking around the world alone, with only the trophy in their hands as their support.
It would be fine to criticize Jose like this in normal times, but now we are on the eve of the start of the "Second Phase of Chelsea" within Chelsea. Mr. Roman spent nearly 300 million pounds to build "Champion Chelsea" and wants to become "Champion Chelsea".
"King of Chelsea", what I fear most is being criticized for "ugly style of play". How can an ugly person be the king?
Indeed, compared with Real Madrid, Chelsea is indeed less "kingly" now. But to a large extent, this is because Madrid, the Spanish capital, only has two top teams, while London, the British capital, has more than six: Chelsea,
Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham United, Fulham, Charlton! And that doesn’t include Queens Park Rangers, Wimbledon, Crystal Palace, etc. who often jump up.
Compared with Real Madrid's advantage of absorbing almost all the resources in the capital, London's football market is too crowded and has too many teams. Chelsea has been so successful that they are often even dissatisfied with their home games. The entire London football market has been developed to the limit, and Chelsea
It is simply incomparable to the resources that Real Madrid has in almost the entire capital. In other words, Real Madrid can be rich enough to buy whoever is famous, and can be willful enough to cause chaos in the locker room and still gain externally. But Chelsea is different, one-sixth
The small football market in the capital determines that the resources it absorbs are far less than those of Real Madrid, which has two-thirds of the resources in the capital.
In other words, if Chelsea wants to imitate Real Madrid, it is easy for them to die as soon as they learn it. Unless they retain an extremely utilitarian coach like Jose, who will continue to win major honors for many years and slowly squeeze the market and resources of other capital teams, at least
Only by squeezing the nearby Fulham into the English Championship, and thus making Chelsea the dominant player in the capital London, can we talk about the kingly demeanor.
Even Manchester United, which Mr. Roman often talks about, is what it is today because it has almost exclusive access to the resources of Manchester, an old industrial city.
But now Valdano's criticism of Jose plays into Mr. Roman's hands and will surely further escalate the civil strife in Chelsea.
Wang Ai was so angry after reading this report that he couldn't eat. It was almost the same as eating horseradish just now. A wave of resentment rushed straight into his brain. Is this because he thought Chelsea wasn't chaotic enough at the moment? I wanted to write something to counterattack, but I didn't want to.
He thought about it, then gave up. He alone could not change the direction of Chelsea, a huge interest group. Moreover, Jose himself basically let it go, so what was the use of his efforts?
Maybe only pure-minded people like Lampard and Drogba in the team would want to try to save the situation.
To put it figuratively speaking, Chelsea and Jose are now "lucky at each other". Both of them know that their relationship has come to an end, and leaving will be sooner or later. They just hope to find a way that is acceptable to fans, advertisers, media and both parties.
In the face of this kind of "big right and wrong" issue, it cannot be said that competition is not important, but it is certainly not the first factor to consider.
For example, after this game, the boss's subordinates frequently appeared in the locker room and tried to attract players. The priority order of their efforts was: Terry, Lampard, Joe Cole, Drogba, Essien...
...As for Wang Ai, he is recuperating at home and is basically done with this season. No one is paying attention to him for the time being.
Of course, Wang Ai himself thinks that the club has received Schlapner's transfer opinion. In view of Wang Ai's friendly relationship with Jose and Wang Ai's squeeze on Sheva, the club is likely to go along with the situation. So, whoever wants to leave
Now, who is trying to win you over?
In Wang Aile's free time, he exchanges emails with a few familiar teammates every day, and even goes to Cobham's recovery room for a walk to observe the club's turmoil up close.
Equally "laid back" as Wang Ai is Jose's assistant Clark. Normally Jose would hand over many tasks, but now many people are forcing themselves to be Jose's assistants. So Clark has a lot of free time, but unlike Jose, he is
The old man of the club was once the main defender in the 1990s, so even if he is removed from his position as assistant coach, the club will have other arrangements. At the same time, the contract he signed with the club does not have as exaggerated liquidated damages as Jose.
.
As a result, Jose refused to leave and competed with the club with liquidated damages. Clark actually liked the current situation of being deprived of power and could stay out of it. Let's see what benefits can be gained after this trouble is over. If it doesn't work, he can still follow Jose.
, in short there are many choices.
After two or three days of turmoil, the aftermath of the Champions League defeat has dissipated. In the 37th round of the Premier League, the same-city battle with Arsenal is about to begin. Last season’s Champions League final was fought between the two sides. After a season, the two sides
There are not many changes in personnel.
Arsenal, who feel that they are in a hurry, are no longer as powerful as they used to be, but they cannot be underestimated. In the 24th round of this season, they defeated Manchester United at the last moment of the game, which did Chelsea a big favor. Now Arsenal
The long-term combat effectiveness is insufficient, but in terms of individual games, it is still one of the most powerful teams in the world.
On May 5th, in the Manchester Derby, Manchester United won 1:0, temporarily leading the standings. Then, Chelsea arrived at the Emirates Stadium with a sigh of relief. Drogba was injured by Liverpool in the last game.
However, Wang Ai and Sheva reluctantly played when they were unable to play. After only playing 45 minutes, the injury worsened. Not only was there no performance in this game, but it was also dangerous for Manchester United in the next game.
Jose had no choice but to send Drogba's Ivory Coast national team teammate Kalou as the lone forward.
In the end, Chelsea, who tried their best, played Arsenal 1:1 at the Emirates Stadium. Professor Wenger, who was not good at words, finally used actions to teach Ferguson and Jose a lesson one by one, and defeated them one by one in key matches.
beat.
As a result, with two rounds left in the league, the balance of victory began to tilt towards Manchester United.
