Even though it is a Saturday, London is still bustling with people since early in the morning. People who are busy with their careers rush to work. There are also many street newspapers selling and distributing for free.
Most Londoners know that there will be a major Premier League game today.
If fans who watched last night's football program are not particularly looking forward to today's football news, it will probably be the war of words between the two young coaches, or the game preview and result prediction of the London rival Derby.
However, when countless people were enjoying breakfast in the subway station, enjoying breakfast in restaurants, or sitting in the bus and browsing the news, everyone was attracted by the headlines of football newspapers in various sections today.
"Chelsea star Mutu is taking drugs, the evidence is conclusive!"
"The FA confirmed that Mutu's urine test report after the game was positive. The penalty was announced today. Mutu was suspended for two years! He was fined 200,000 pounds!"
“Romania’s rising star may lose his job in England!”
Chelsea striker Mutu is the news star on Fleet Street today!
Almost all newspapers are reporting on his scandal.
The tabloids that could not obtain confidential information followed the trend and dug out Mutu's past dark history to review, including the exposure of a video of him and a third-level actress in an apartment six months ago, which was filmed by the heroine of the party.
In today's newspapers, serious major newspapers focused on the penalties announced by the Football Association.
Mutu's urine test was positive and his suspension was inevitable, especially since it was confirmed that he was involved in drugs. This may be more serious than Ferdinand's missed urine test. Moreover, Ferdinand was punished. The English Football League finally showed mercy and changed to other industries. Ferdinand at least had to
Banned for two years. Or even for life!
And Mutu was banned by the Football Association for two years. This can almost declare that Mutu has no room for survival in England. The forward signed by Chelsea at a high price more than a year ago is useless!
Tabloids, which are less rigorous than major newspapers, published the testimony of "witnesses". The 24-year-old Australian Monica confirmed that Mutu took drugs during the sex transaction with her!
The news hit Stamford Bridge like a bolt from the blue.
When Mourinho got up early in the morning and left his house, he was surrounded by reporters, asking him for his response to the Mutu scandal.
Abu was also furious!
In Abramovich's office at Stamford Bridge. He was furious!
Players have money, pick up girls, and gamble for money. Although this is not worth advocating, it is not illegal!
Taking drugs is not only illegal, but people who take drugs are emotionally unstable. God knows whether such a person will become a bomb!
Will he seduce his teammates to take drugs together?
Will he get into trouble when he becomes addicted to drugs?
God knows...
Kenyon looked sad outside Abramovich's office.
When Mourinho came over, Kenyon raised his head to look at him, then lowered his head again and sighed.
Mourinho plans to meet with Abramovich and ask him for his opinion on Mutu. What kind of response the club will make.
Kenyon stopped him and said: "The boss is on the phone with Mutu. Mutu is finished at Chelsea. The club will fire him and sue him at the same time. We have lost at least 20 million pounds on Mutu."
Transfer fees plus wages, as well as high signing fees.
Mourinho originally wanted to discuss it with Abramovich, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
As he prepared to leave to stabilize the locker room, Kenyon muttered to himself: "That's not his style..."
Mourinho turned and asked: "What did you say?"
Kenyon looked up at Mourinho with a frown and said: "I said, this is not like Aldrich Hall's style."
Mourinho was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Kenyon smiled bitterly and said: "Don't you think today's media attack seems to have suddenly exploded? The FA seems to have announced the urine test results a little late. After announcing the results, they did not inform our club and directly announced the penalty clause. We did not accept it.
When I heard the news, everyone in Fleet Street knew it! Today is all about Mutu, what are you supposed to be doing today?"
Mourinho bit his lip and said solemnly: "Going to the Lion King Stadium to challenge Millwall, do you mean that Aldrich Hall will use this matter to influence us?"
Kenyon raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "You have underestimated Aldridge Hall. You only regard him as a head coach, but he is not just a head coach. Now the most concerned person in England
What was the game? It was Chelsea versus Millwall, it was like Milan derby, El Clasico, and I
We, Chelsea, should have taken the opportunity to challenge Millwall to increase our popularity and expand our influence! To put it bluntly, we have benefited from Millwall. How many fans around the world are paying attention to our relationship today?
match? Hahaha, what now? Chelsea’s player scandal has become the head of the football section
Article! If we were not playing Millwall today, if we were playing against an unknown opponent, this scandal would be sensational, but the negative impact is within control, because fans in England, Europe, and even many regions and countries around the world
Everyone is paying attention to today's game, so, hahaha, Chelsea club
Our reputation has been hit to the freezing point! So what if you lead the team to win against Millwall today? Countless fans around the world may say: Chelsea may have players who take drugs, otherwise how could they beat Millwall? Hahaha, I
Now I have to deal with the club’s sponsors, fuck Mutu!”
After Kenyon's explanation, Mourinho finally understood the overall negative impact of this incident.
Objectively speaking, Chelsea must be taking advantage of Millwall by playing against them.
Just like when Atlético Madrid plays Real Madrid, the attention the game receives and the attention and benefits Atletico Madrid obtains naturally benefit from Real Madrid.
It happened that on this day, a scandal broke out for the party that was supposed to take advantage!
This has caused serious damage to Chelsea in terms of the reputation and influence of a specific club that has nothing to do with competition itself.
Normally, Chelsea would not be the team that receives the most attention in Europe or even on the world stage.
They have money, that's true.
But the money is not for the fans.
Fans only care about achievements in the competitive field.
Chelsea cannot be said to have a good foundation. After Mourinho took over, they did not show any outstanding and beautiful football magic. Their overall attention has increased, but it has not yet reached the top level.
So at other times, when Mutu's drug abuse incident broke out, that was it, and it faded away over time.
But today, when it received more attention than usual, this incident caught Chelsea off guard and caused immeasurable damage to their image.
The person who suffered the most damage was not Mourinho, but Kenyon.
He is in charge of the club's publicity, promotion and management affairs. When this negative incident broke out, Chelsea's commercial development will face unprecedented resistance.
When Mourinho came to the club, reporters blocked his door. At the club's door, not only was he harassed, but Chelsea's first-team players were also harassed.
The reporters were outside the club, asking questions about Chelsea players.
Some were just doing it as a matter of routine, asking them if they knew about Mutu's drug use.
Some of them had bad intentions and asked them directly if there was any accomplice of Mutu who took drugs.
Chelsea players were given a gag order by the club and were not allowed to speak a word to the outside world. Mourinho hoped that the team could spend the morning peacefully and go to the Lion King Stadium for the game after noon.
Mutu's drug abuse incident was like a surprise attack. Chelsea itself was fully prepared to go to the Lion King Stadium to fight Millwall.
But under the siege and harassment by media reporters, they all felt a little numb.
Although the focus is on Mutu's drug abuse, who can guarantee that he is absolutely clean?
It’s not that there are definitely people like Mutu who are taking drugs, but they are not role models in daily life, so they can’t help but feel uneasy, fearing that the fire of public opinion ignited by the Mutu incident will burn themselves down, and they will be burned by Fleet Street.
Paparazzi unearths own dark history.
At noon, Mourinho led the team to East London by bus.
As soon as we entered East London, we were greeted by Millwall fans!
Compared with the fiery chaos of the east London derby with West Ham United, Millwall fans were extremely "gentle and polite" today. They sang loudly or held up slogans on the way to the Lion King Stadium.
"Chelsea is so rich, so rich. The players take drugs and have no shortage of money. They take drugs and have sex for six hours. They take drugs and can't score goals while playing football..."
Among the slogans held up to show the Chelsea bus, there were many hand-drawn mocking images.
For example, the player wearing a Chelsea jersey lying on the ground with a runny nose and making a drug-taking gesture.
The Chelsea players sitting in the bus tried not to look at the scene outside, they were so confused!
The closer you get to Lion King Stadium, the more people are around.
Some die-hard fans of Millwall players began to attack Chelsea's bus with stones, grinning ferociously as if they were watching Chelsea go to the execution ground to die!
The weather conditions are good in the afternoon after autumn, with bright sunshine and gentle breeze.
The Lion King Stadium was already packed, and only one box was empty. Originally, it was reserved for Abramovich, who paid to reserve a box to watch the game. Unfortunately, he didn't show up, so he was probably in a bad mood.
Chelsea also cut the knot quickly and did not give Mutu any chance. They officially announced Mutu's dismissal before the game and would later pursue Mutu's liability for breach of contract and sue Mutu to the Swiss Court of Arbitration for Sport.
This is a reflection of Chelsea's public relations capabilities. If a player takes drugs, the club cannot protect it. Once it is protected, the reputational damage will be immeasurable.
The game is about to begin.
Aldridge accompanied the players in the locker room until the last moment. When the team needed to leave the locker room, he shouted to the team loudly and loudly: "Millwall, let's teach Chelsea a lesson!"
"Uh-oh!"
The players roared in unison.
The locker room door opened, and Aldrich walked out first, leading the way with his head held high! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
