In the fifth round of the Premier League of the new season, Millwall drew with Manchester United at Old Trafford. This focus of the strong dialogue is the first game of this round, because both teams have to play in the European War in midweek. (
)
In the later game, Chelsea defeated Sunderland 2-0 at Stamford Bridge without a fight.
In the Stamford Bridge stands, the Blues fans celebrated with forgetfulness and roared to vent their anger.
It’s like declaring war on the mad lion in East London!
Mourinho has become very low-key this season.
To fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. Chelsea is seen by the outside world as a group of fierce generals with strong soldiers and horses, and is the biggest challenger to the throne.
But as the coach, Mourinho understands what kind of hidden dangers exist in the team.
He really didn't know how to arrange Shevchenko and Ballack.
Maybe Barak is better.
In most games, Chelsea can make the muscular midfielder stronger, and Ballack can replace Makelele or Essien.
But on the front line, Shevchenko was very embarrassed.
At this time, although Drogba is already known as a monster, he is not a forward with extremely high scoring efficiency. In Chelsea's tactical system, he mostly contributes as a bridgehead and fulcrum.
In other words, Shevchenko and Drogba are different types of players and are not suitable candidates for Mourinho's ideal tactical design.
However, at the beginning of the season, Shevchenko just arrived as a newcomer. Mourinho put Shevchenko on the bench, let him play in garbage time to find a feeling, and appeared on the stage to show comfort.
People accept it, Shevchenko can accept it. Fans also accept it.
But I don’t know how it will develop in the future.
The Chelsea fans' outburst in the stands was justified.
The Blues led by Mourinho seemed to be more stable and stronger in the second year. While the team was steadily improving, Millwall's poor start in the league gave the Blues enough room for fantasy.
on the standings.
Manchester United shake hands with Millwall and make peace, which benefits Chelsea.
Not only did he leave Manchester United behind by 2 points.
It even left the defending champion Millwall by 9 points!
Abramovich is very satisfied with the current situation of the team.
He desperately wants to see the team sweep across Europe this season!
In the past two years, his hostile behavior towards Millwall has made the "hatred" between the two incompatible.
In addition to Millwall suppressing Chelsea in terms of record, in addition, in Abramovich's hope that Chelsea will be recognized as a status symbol in Europe and the world, Millwall has become Chelsea's biggest obstacle!
Abramovich wants to take Chelsea to G14!
The recruitment of Kenyon was also due to such factors.
You know, when Kenyon was working at Manchester United, he was always a representative of Manchester United at the G14 summit four times a year. He was a good dancer within the G14 and his network of people was not trivial.
However, with Kenyon leaving Manchester United, this relationship network will be weakened to a certain extent.
In the first two G14 summits in 2005, Millwall representative Carter acted as a staunch resister of Chelsea in these two closed meetings. He took the lead and received majority response and support from G14 members.
In addition to Millwall itself having allies within the G14, secondly, there is a key factor that Millwall can absolutely veto Chelsea from joining the G14!
G14 is considering military expansion. However, whether the applicant can enter G14 requires a vote by all members. If there are more than 3 votes against, then the applicant will not be approved!
However, if the majority of G14 members agree that Chelsea will join, and only a minority led by Millwall opposes it, this may put Millwall into a situation of betrayal and alienation.
Because the core interests of this organization are inviolable, if Chelsea's joining is beneficial to everyone and can make g14 stronger and compete with external forces, instead of forcing a powerful ally into the arms of its opponents, then,
For the sake of profit, personal grudges should be ignored!
Fortunately, from the standpoint of this core interest, Carter lobbied internal members and successfully created an atmosphere of "fear" and "anger" against Chelsea within G14.
The fear is that Chelsea is rich and wealthy.
The core interests of g14 are the interests of wealthy families, but the second level is naturally their own interests.
Will Chelsea replace it? Will it shake the status of traditional giants in Europe and the world?
To suppress Chelsea is not only the wish of Millwall, but also the wish of many clubs with ambitions in Europe. They are afraid of the speed of Chelsea's growth.
In the past, the growth of the club was gradual and relied on one generation, two generations, or even more people and more time.
Now, Chelsea's growth has shown that in this era, gold dollars can be a powerful catalyst for the club's growth.
The anger stems from Chelsea's "forced buying and selling" in the transfer market, which subverts tradition. They can offer players the highest salary in the world and make irresistible offers.
Just like AC Milan, they can't refuse Chelsea's financial temptation, but after selling out, they will still angrily say that Chelsea is messing around!
Maybe Chelsea didn't directly poach many stars from the g14 team.
But a wealthy family is a place, a place at the top of the food chain in the world.
The foundation for the survival of wealthy clubs also includes squeezing first-class teams and demanding resources.
Just like a star trained by a first-class team, wealthy clubs have been following him for a long time and are ready to acquire him.
Chelsea came out halfway!
Give Chelsea a run for their money?
Doesn’t this increase the cost?
Someone who originally could get 10 million, but Chelsea messed up the situation, and it became 20 million, which may not be possible. How can the wealthy clubs be happy?
Being wealthy does not mean being generous.
In the first year after Abramovich took over, Chelsea attacked from all sides and cast a wide net. Even if they couldn't buy anyone, they invisibly disrupted the market. This made the G14 internally very dissatisfied with Chelsea.
If Chelsea is allowed to enter the G14, Chelsea will be legitimately recognized, which will be even more detrimental to the interests of these giants in the future.
Abramovich knows that according to Chelsea's practice of making enemies on all sides in Europe in the past two years, it will be extremely difficult for Chelsea to join the G14 according to the formal procedures, because Chelsea is an outlier and has offended the interests of many European giants in the past two years!
We must know that Millwall could become one of the founders of G14. Looking back on that period of history, it is a bit "losing power and humiliating the country"!
Because before Millwall became a member of G14, they had always been unable to hold their head high in front of the giants!
Let others slaughter you!
Sold key players to wealthy clubs for many years in a row to build good club friendships!
And under such circumstances, only by showing a record that impresses the European giants can we be qualified to be on an equal footing with them.
At that time, most giants believed that Millwall would become the underlings within G14.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to win over Millwall, Millwall will become a "talent base" for giants.
After all, in 1998, Millwall sold half of the team's main players. Everyone believed that Millwall's strength would drop significantly and it would not be able to threaten anyone's status.
Unexpectedly, Millwall's success was not a flash in the pan.
Now, Millwall is on the verge of becoming the internal leader of G14!
This change is also the progress that Carter strives to achieve after taking office!
In the past, Aldrich was only interested in the identity of g14 and did not care about the power of g14.
Because in his memory, g14 was disbanded in the end and compromised with UEFA!
So, what’s the point of spending energy here?
However, Carter hopes that Millwall can occupy a dominant position within the G14. After all, the G14 is a representative of the "European Elite" and actually has a strong influence. The changes in European football are almost all due to the will of the G14.
With Millwall's superb record and strong ability to attract money, in the golden era after the economic crisis and the bursting of the football development bubble, many members within the G14 were happy for Millwall to take charge of the overall situation. To put it bluntly, they just wanted to be with Millwall.
Cooperate more and make big money!
In the past, Millwall played commercial games with clubs such as Inter Milan and Ajax, and the commercial returns were considerable. However, Millwall went out for a tour on its own and could earn "half a billion", not counting the cooperation contract.
The long-term benefits it has brought have made G14 allies jealous, eager to make big money with Millwall.
Therefore, since Carter took office and began to attend the G14 summit on behalf of Millwall, Millwall began to transform from a "spectator" in the past to a "leader" in G14, and encountered very little obstruction in the process. This also stems from
The weakening of representatives of previously strong internal forces, such as Real Madrid president Florentino who was on the verge of self-destruction at the Bernabeu
Guaranteed, Manchester United’s representative Kenyon defected within two years, and then the club owner changed hands. In addition to Juventus in Italy, the relationship between Milan and Millwall has always been good, and many Serie A teams have gone bankrupt.
, the economy is worrying, and the influence is declining. All of these have allowed Millwall to rise rapidly within G14 and gradually become a leader.
Abramovich wants Chelsea to enter G14 through formal channels, which is simply impossible!
But there is no sure path, Chelsea still has a chance!
Then, Chelsea needs to sweep across Europe!
As long as Chelsea can become the most eye-catching team in the modern era and establish a real and huge influence, instead of making waves in the transfer market to gain attention, Chelsea will have the opportunity to break through with its own ability.
The gate of g14 forced the g14 bosses to let Chelsea sit with them.
And Abramovich hopes that such an idea will be realized this season.
After all, Chelsea already looks very strong. I can’t say that the strength of the lineup is the best in Europe, but the value of the team is already in the top five or even the top three in Europe! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
