Super Marshal

Hiss... with a snap, a newspaper that had been freshly baked in the morning and still had a strong aroma of ink was torn into two halves by Abramovich, and then he slapped it hard on the table next to him.

"Who is Gao Han? Do I still need him to worry about what I want to do?"

Abramovich angrily yelled at Granovsky in front of him. The female assistant stood there, not daring to move, because she knew her boss's temper, and staying still was the best way to calm down.

The crux of what makes the Russian oligarchs so angry is that the major newspapers published this morning all reprinted Gao Han's words. The latter expressed his support and solidarity with Rijkaard in a high-profile manner and believed that Chelsea's The approach showed a lack of respect for Rijkaard.

As a result, as soon as Gao Han expressed his stance, famous European coaches including Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Benitez, Guardiola, Heynckes and other European coaches came forward to support Rijkaard, believing that Chelsea's behavior was against the head coach. Serious humiliation.

Even the good old Carlo Ancelotti complained for Rijkaard, saying that the dismissal was okay, but it could be negotiated and communicated in private, and there was no need to go so far as to fire him in front of the players on the team bus. This was simply unbelievable. .

As soon as many famous European coaches expressed their opinions, the entire European media also expressed their support, almost all of them blaming Chelsea one-sidedly.

When has Abramovich ever been pointed at and scolded like this?

What has ever caused such outrage?

Even when he waved the check in his hand and offended the G14 group headed by Real Madrid, he was never criticized by all the media like he is now.

And all this is because of that damn Gao Han!

At this moment, the doorbell rang outside, and the servant came out of the kitchen and walked quickly to open the door.

Chelsea FC chairman Bruce Buck and chief executive Peter Kenyon rushed in from outside.

As soon as they entered the living room, they saw a newspaper that was thrown on the table and torn into two halves. Then they looked at Granovskya standing beside him. They didn't know what happened?

However, at least with them around, Abramovich also restrained some of his temper.

"What's the matter?" Abramovich asked in a deep voice, his tone still filled with anger.

Bruce Buck and Peter Kenyon both looked at each other, obviously aware that Abramovich was angry, and did not know whether they should report the latest situation, so they hesitated.

Seeing their appearance, Abramovich's heart suddenly became angry again, "What on earth is going on?"

"Uh...that's it." Bruce Buck finally said, "Early this morning, many fans came to Stamford Bridge to gather, and they all chanted Rijkaard's name, as if..."

"What?" Abramovich said in a bad tone.

"At... a protest demonstration."

After hearing the last two nouns, Abramovich clenched his fists with both hands, obviously feeling extremely angry inside.

"They just shouted names?"

Bruce Buck glanced at Peter Kenyon, hesitated, and shook his head, "More than that."

"What else can you say?"

"They said... they said..." Bruce Buck took a deep breath and finally made up his mind, "They also said that Chelsea has always respected the head coach for more than 100 years, and nothing like this has ever happened. For things like this, they want the management to come forward and give an explanation.”

"They also said that what happened this time was a great damage to Chelsea's century-old brand and seriously violated the club's tradition. They... they... they even shouted..."

When Chelsea fans protested, they shouted that Abramovich should get out of Chelsea with his dirty capital. Bruce Buck would not dare to say it under any circumstances, but what kind of person is Abramovich? , where can’t you guess?

Originally, everyone thought that he would become furious after hearing this, but unexpectedly, he became completely silent.

The living room suddenly became eerily quiet, and then there was a burst of laughter.

"Okay, okay. When Bates put the club in debt, they didn't tell Bates to get out, but now they want me to get out? How many championships have I brought to Chelsea in the past few years? What have I done for this club? How much money did the club invest?”

"Without me? How could they be where they are now? How could they have so many championship trophies in their honor room? Without me, they would still be training in a dilapidated football stadium next to Heathrow Airport!"

"Without me, how could they still hold flags and shout slogans and come to Stamford Bridge to protest?"

At the end of the sentence, Abramovich's face turned red, but he still laughed. It was obvious that he had great contempt and sarcasm for this group of protesting fans, "I think they have completely forgotten, who is it?" He is the owner of this team!”

The living room fell silent again.

The three of them stood there, not daring to move, because they all felt Abramovich's anger.

At this time, whoever moves will be unlucky.

The man in front of him was an oligarch who had been fought out of Russia's corpses and sea of ​​blood, and there was no need to doubt his methods.

"What else?" Abramovich turned to look at Peter Kenyon.

He will arrive at the same time as Bruce Buck, and it will definitely not be just for the fans to protest this matter, especially looking at his face, it is very unnatural, there must be something else going on.

"You can tell me anything, good or bad. Just say it. I want to hear today how many people there are and what other things can make things difficult for me."

Peter Kenyon hesitated and took a deep breath, "Wilkins called me this morning. He told me that the club's actions made him feel ashamed and that he could not accept the position of interim head coach. He chose to resign."

Abramovich's hand shook slightly.

Wilkins is the club's dedicated assistant coach for Rijkaard because he is familiar with Chelsea and the Premier League.

Last night, Abramovich dared to fire Rijkaard on the spot. One of the important reasons was that he was convinced that Wilkins could take over the team until the end of the season. But now, even he has resigned. .

But Abramovich's expression quickly returned to normal and he waved his hand, "Okay, if he wants to leave, let him go."

Peter Kenyon secretly raised his head, looked at Abramovich, and hesitated again, "Boss, after Rijkaard resigned, his team basically left, including Tenkat. Wilkins has left the team, then..."

The entire core coaching staff of the first team is gone, not a single one is left.

I have to say, this is indeed quite a troublesome thing.

Those who can serve in Chelsea's first team are basically elites in the field of European professional coaches. Such people are not afraid of losing their jobs or having no place to live. The only difference is which team they go to and whether they have more money or less money. question.

Firing Rijkaard in front of everyone is undoubtedly a humiliation for all professional coaches. This means that in the eyes of Chelsea management, professional coaches are a group of people who come and go when they are called. piece.

In fact, today, when capital is in power, coaches and players do not have a high status in front of capital. But the problem is that everyone is guarding the last bottom line, the last trace of balance, and taking care of each other's face.

At that time, Moratti frequently changed coaches, and Real Madrid's Florentino fired Del Bosque, which all damaged their reputation. But no matter what, they did not break through the last and most basic bottom line, and they are still there. Try to save each other's face and maintain each other's dignity.

But this time, Abramovich ruthlessly tore away the last fig leaf.

This is like a company where the boss offers high salaries but treats employees like cattle and horses. Employees may choose to endure it for money, future, or other reasons.

But if, one day, the boss pointed at this person's nose in front of the entire company and said that he was a dog under his hand, would anyone be able to bear it? Who else is willing to work in such a company?

Peter Kenyon, who has been immersed in professional football for many years, saw this early on. He tried his best to persuade Abramovich, but the Russian was angry at the time and would not listen at all.

At this point, things are simply irreversible.

…………

…………

Faced with the turbulent public opinion from the outside world, Chelsea finally chose to remain silent.

In fact, this is also the wisest choice at the moment. After all, neither fans nor the media can focus on Chelsea for a long time because the major European leagues are still going on.

It was only when Wilkins announced his resignation that the media and fans once again made a sensation, but soon their attention was gradually diverted as the game began.

After Gao Han criticized Chelsea's actions and gave Rijkaard a sigh of relief, he also no longer focused on Chelsea, but returned his attention to Bayern Munich.

After returning to Munich from London, the team did not have much rest time and soon set off to challenge Werder Bremen away from home.

This is the twenty-second round of the Bundesliga.

Werder Bremen's performance this season is not ideal, but their home results are quite strong. Gao Han did not dare to be careless. This game was appropriately rotated, but the performance of the team's frontcourt players was still affected.

However, at the critical moment, the two full-backs played their role.

In the 28th minute of the first half, Bayern Munich launched a wave of attacks. The front trident suppressed Werder Bremen's defense. Marcelo got the ball from the left and suddenly cut to the center and passed it across. After catching Vidal, the latter broke into the penalty area and scored, opening the scoring for Chelsea.

Just eight minutes later, this time Marcelo still intervened in the attack from the left. He crossed the ball from the side and Klose headed the ball towards the goal. The opponent's goalkeeper flew to save and let go. Vidal stepped in and picked up the miss, and scored another victory. Scored twice.

After leading by two goals, Bayern Munich played more relaxedly. Gao Han also made substitutions during the halftime break to let the main players rest. In the second half, after changing sides and fighting again, Lahm on the right gave an assist. Robben Cut to the center and shot a long left-footed curve ball, once again breaking through Werder Bremen's goal and rewriting the score to 3-0.

After that, Gao Han replaced two players in one go, giving the main players a rest and training new players.

It wasn't until the 83rd minute that Werder Bremen scored a goal.

In the end, Bayern Munich defeated Werder Bremen 3-1.

Three days later, in the quarter-finals of the German Cup, Bayern Munich challenged Bayer Leverkusen on the field. In the end, with the goals of Modric, Vidal, Aguero and Thomas Muller, they defeated their opponents four to two and successfully advanced to the fourth round. powerful.

The other three teams that entered the semi-finals are Mainz, Werder Bremen and Hamburg.

Bayern Munich was lucky enough to draw Mainz.

On the weekend, back at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich once again played an offensive storm, beating Hannover 96 6-0 at home. Demichelis, Klose, Ribery, Robben, Lucio and Bi Dahl scored successively, while Bastian Schweinsteiger and Modric both assisted and scored twice.

This big victory completely demonstrated Bayern Munich's dominance and won the praise of the media and fans.

It also casts a thick shadow over Chelsea, who will come to challenge the Bundesliga giants in midweek.
