Chapter 133 Abu and Thaksin

Chapter 133 Abu and Thaksin

After the game, the German media, who refused to admit defeat, pointed their fingers at Richards' small moves.

They all believed that if Richards hadn't used "improper" means to anger Kuranyi, causing Kuranyi to be sent off, then the result of the game might have been another result.

In this regard, Duncan expressed deep unremitting.

In the game field, doing everything you can is the root of winning.If you still have to tell the other party how you want to defeat the other party, isn't that just stupid chivalry?

As long as you win, who cares what method you use to win?

In football, only the winners are remembered.

What makes Schalke 04 even more crazy is that the group stage is a single round-robin match between five teams, that is to say, the two sides only play against each other once.

Schalke 04 wanted revenge, but couldn't find a chance, so they had to suffer from being dumb.

All they could do was to spread their grievances on the remaining four opponents.

Back in the UK, after a short rest, the team began to prepare for the next game.

Four days later, the team will go to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea.

The latter just defeated La Liga powerhouse Valencia in the Champions League midweek, and their morale is high.

Under the leadership of Grant, after the team survived the blank period left by Mourinho, the record has risen.Although Grant did not completely control the team, relying on a strong foundation of strength, Chelsea has begun to get out of the quagmire and once again become the feared Premier League overlord.

They urgently need to prove themselves and let themselves regain the points they lost before.

So during Chelsea's rising period, Manchester City has become a good touchstone...

Others are afraid of Manchester City, but Chelsea are not.

Although Manchester City is said to be an upstart, in terms of the degree of rise, Chelsea is ahead.

Chelsea has had the big boss Abramovich a few years ago, and the money spent over the years is only a lot more than Manchester City.Manchester City relied on foreign capital injection this season and invested so much money, but it is still not as good as Chelsea.

This game has also become a competition between two "golden dollar teams".

As the two teams that spend the most money in recent years, this game will be a focus battle to prove "whose money is spent wisely".

In such a game, players and coaches have become supporting roles.

Instead, the two chairmen have become the most concerned figures.

This kind of attention is definitely what Thaksin dreamed of. He came to the UK to increase his attention.How could he miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

"Abramovich is a very successful businessman. I have been famous for him in China for a long time. And his case of investing in Chelsea is also something I admire. In the process of running Manchester City, I will always learn from his management model. It has to be said that Mr. Abramovich's management of Chelsea is a successful case of capital getting involved in football."

Unlike the gunpowder smell that the media tried to create, Thaksin's attitude was very kind.

Soon, Abramovich gave Thaksin a positive response.

"Mr. Thaksin's words are also what I want to say. I think modern football will be more interesting only when it enters the market. The football world without capital is boring. At first I was alone in this world, but Mr. Thaksin But let me know that this path is correct. I sincerely hope that more big companies can participate in football..."

What Abramovich published is also a well-intentioned statement like Thaksin.

Now, it was the English media's turn to be dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that the pre-match battle, which was supposed to be full of sparks and drooling, would be so peaceful?

The two sides are friendly, as if they are old friends who haven't seen each other for many years.It makes people wonder if Thaksin met Abu, would he still hold his hands and call his fellow with tears in his eyes?

It stands to reason that the two sides have invested so much money in football, and they are definitely not here for a friendly match, but for the championship.

Since the goals are in conflict, how can there be harmony?

In fact, this kind of result is accidental and inevitable.

As typical representatives of "capital invasion", Abramovich and Thaksin seem to have a lot of glory on the surface, but in fact, it is difficult for them to be truly accepted by the chairman circle of English clubs.

"Outsider" is like a shining label, which goes with you wherever you go.

Even if they have achieved really good results, how many people will sincerely come up to express their congratulations?

It's nothing more than saying a blessing when they meet, and scolding behind their backs, "It's just a few stinky money"

It can be said that, to some extent, they are alone.

When a lonely person meets a lonely person, there will always be a little sympathy for each other.

Thaksin and him are not like this, two people can feel each other's sad mood behind the scenes, so naturally they won't really fight.In the Premier League, only chairmen like them who have similar experiences will become friends.

With such a background, it's not hard to understand why the two couldn't fight.

However, although the two chairmen are harmonious, it does not mean that the team will relax.

This game cannot afford to lose for both sides.

As the head coach of Chelsea, Grunt still has the title of "acting head coach". If he wants to win a contract, then he needs to claim credit with enough weighty victories.

As the head coach of Manchester City, Duncan has no reason to lose.In the previous day's match, Arsenal had unexpectedly drawn a draw.In other words, as long as Manchester City wins this game, they can overtake Arsenal by 1 point and take the top spot in the standings!

This is definitely a stimulus for the Manchester City generals!

How many years has Manchester City not been at the top of the standings?

Faced with such an opportunity, who can give up?

So before the coaching staff mobilized, the players were already gearing up and ready to teach Chelsea a lesson.

On October 10, the game at Stamford Bridge can be said to have twists and turns.

Heinze, who had just returned from injury, couldn't hold his foot in a tackle in the 12th minute of the first half, and sent his ankle under Drogba's big ass. The old injury recurred and was replaced by Sun Jihai in advance Down.

Heinze is a defensive champion, but his style is brave and he doesn't know how to protect himself, so the Argentine is frequently injured.If it were not for this reason, he would not lose his main position at Manchester United.

Then Manchester City's left side became Chelsea's main attack direction.

Fortunately, the defensive five-element formation played an active role, blocking Chelsea's attacks one after another.

Instead, Ljungberg scored a goal through a counterattack.Help the team score goals away from home.

After conceding the ball, Chelsea aggressively counterattacked, but Manchester City couldn't hold on and played a defensive counterattack.

In such an encounter, the two sides did not hold back, but tried their best to give each other a fatal blow.

Chelsea, who were constantly on the attack, equalized the score in the 34th minute. Essien dribbled the ball forward and saw that the surrounding spaces were blocked by Manchester City, and there was no passing angle at all.In desperation, Essien crossed the ball to Lampard.

Lampard has no doubts, he plugs in from the back, and the ball is a high-quality long shot!

Now the Manchester City players are a little staring. They can defend the space, but they can't do anything about such a long shot.

The football hit the crossbar and bounced into the net.

1:1

Chelsea equalized at home.

At the beginning of the second half, Duncan replaced Hargreaves with Mido, and the substitution worked wonders.Manchester City still concocted Chelsea and scored a long-range goal similar to theirs.

The one who scored the goal was naturally Mido.

They overtook the score again.

In the ensuing game, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

With Ballack, Lampard, Essien and other strong players, Chelsea manages the midfield like an iron bucket without leaving any gaps.

Barton of Manchester City is a master who is not afraid of anything.

Not only will he not be afraid, but he will go forward bravely.

But his fighting style was obviously wrong.

In the 72nd minute of the second half, Barton kicked Ballack's leg while defending.

The live footage showed that Barack's calf and ankle were bent at a weird angle at that moment...

In the end, both sides ended up.

Button because of the red card, and Ballack because of the injury...

Because of this malicious foul, the gunpowder between the two sides became stronger.

In the ensuing game, both sides focused on the physical confrontation, but ignored the game itself.

In the final score, Manchester City defeated Chelsea 2:1.

They won this game, surpassing Arsenal and taking the top spot in the standings!

In the VIP box, as a loser, Abu took the initiative to shake hands with Thaksin very gracefully, expressing his congratulations to them.

Thaksin smiled brightly, and he was proud of his wise investment.

But after turning around, Abu's smile disappeared.
