Chapter 998: Don't Go Further!
Abramovich sat in the stands at Stamford Bridge, silently watching his team slaughter.
Yes, it was a massacre!
The Saints didn't seem to stop attacking from the opening goal.
Especially with Lionel Messi on the right, Chelsea's defensive system is completely like nothing to him.
Time and time again, he broke through Chelsea's defences and provided brilliant assists to his team-mates.
The first three goals of this game all came from Messi's assists.
The third goal came in the 37th minute of the first half, when Messi assisted Eden Hazard's goal.
Then, in the 42nd minute, Messi won the ball on the right and attracted the attention of the defenders, Cesc Fabregas suddenly moved to the left, and Hazard assisted Di Maria to score.
Four goals were scored in the first half, which was an absolute disaster for Chelsea.
The more terrible nightmare is that this catastrophe is not over and is still continuing.
After the kick-off of the second half, the Saints were bombarded and in the 56th minute, they broke through the Chelsea goal again, this time by Toni Kroos.
Roman Abramovich was in the stands as he pocketed the German midfielder to help the Saints poach from Bayern Munich, but now, the unconscionable man is rubbing salt in Chelsea's bloody wounds and celebrating after the goal.
It's too much, isn't it?
In the game, the Saints continued the excellent performance of the past few games, as well as the amazing competitive state, and the addition of Messi gave the Saints a great threat and lethality in the frontcourt.
His dribbling with Eden Hazard on both flanks is a nightmare for almost all defenders.
One-on-one can't be prevented at all, two-on-one, and even many times, three-on-one has to be dispatched to limit these two players.
But these two stars were limited, and Suarez broke out.
In this game, the Saints\ men have missed at least three great chances to score.
The reason why this is the case is not because the Saints' players are not strong enough to score, but because they want to help Messi score.
If it weren't for the deliberate effort to help Messi score, the score would have reached seven or eight now.
In the words of the Sky TV commentator, the biggest achievement of Chelsea's defense in this game was not allowing Messi to score!
With half an hour to go, the game is still going on, the nightmare is not over, Abramovich is also trembling in the stands, he even thinks, how nice it would be if this was a dream?
I woke up from the dream, and it was all over.
But this is a special reality!
Roman Abramovich looked at the home team's dugout at the edge of the tunnel, where Mourinho had been sitting almost since the start except for his half-time return to the dressing room.
It seems that he himself feels that there is no need for on-the-spot command.
This annoyed Abramovich, at this time, as a manager, shouldn't he do something?
"Marina!" Abramovich shouted in a deep voice.
Granovskia, who was sitting next to him, leaned over and said, "Boss." ”
"Let him get out of class!" Abramovich said with a sinking face.
Granovskia frowned, "Boss, at this time?" ”
"Yes, right now, let him get out of class!" Abramovich repeated heavily.
At this time, Granovskia also realized that his boss was iron-hearted this time.
"How to solve the termination compensation?" Granovskia asked.
Abramovich glanced at the home team's dugout, and suddenly an indescribable disgust welled up in his heart.
These guys, whether it's the head coach or the players, all of them keep saying that they love the club and the team, but when it comes to the end, everyone is very snobbish.
If you really love the team, if you have the ability, you can give me a special initiative to resign!
"You go talk to him, and Mendes, just say that we will pay them a maximum of one year's salary, if they are dissatisfied and want to scratch more, then we will go to court, I don't mind making the team doctor incident bigger!"
Granovskia understands what his boss means is that no matter how bad Chelsea's situation is, that's what it is.
According to the market in European football, the dismissal of a manager, if the two sides negotiate amicably, is a good reunion and a good breakup, usually a season's salary.
However, if the club unilaterally fires the head coach, then they have to pay a contract termination fee.
However, the termination fee is not paid in full immediately, but in installments during the term of the contract, according to the agreement between the two parties, but during this period, the head coach is no longer allowed to take up coaching work.
In other words, if the club pays a termination fee, it will be equivalent to releasing the manager for the remainder of the contract year, until the manager is reinstated.
Therefore, generally speaking, first-line managers are reluctant to accept the latter option, and they will try to obtain as much as possible a more generous compensation on the basis of the former treatment.
Chelsea did not sack Mourinho before because he and his agent Mendes demanded something in this regard.
Now, the boss has spoken, only for one year, otherwise there will be a lawsuit.
Mourinho has clearly violated the club's rules in dealing with the women's team doctor, and if Chelsea use this to play, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose, but it is conceivable that neither side will please anyone.
If Mourinho wants to continue coaching and maintain his image in the future, he should accept Chelsea's request.
"Boss, after that......" asked Granovskia.
The dismissal of Mourinho now seems to be a matter of course, but the key question is, what happens after the dismissal?
Abramovich sighed depressedly, and he had to admit that Chelsea is now not a top coach, and it may be difficult to hire a first-line coach.
Over the years, Chelsea's image in European football, especially in European coaching circles, has not been very good, and the main reason is that the club has been too hasty in handling the relationship with the manager.
For example, when Ancelotti and Villas-Boas came to coach and implement the mainlandization reform, these were unanimously agreed by Abramovich and the management, and even instructed and supported, but as soon as something went wrong, the club immediately shirked its responsibility and pushed the head coach out to take the blame, which made the managers of European football chill.
Therefore, Abramovich tried every possible way to invite Pep Guardiola to coach at Chelsea, but the Spaniards sternly refused.
And at this moment, Abramovich couldn't help but feel helpless again.
Because he found out that after sacking Mourinho, he really didn't know who else to invite.
"Huss has been at home lately, and I'll call him and ask him to help put out the fire." Abramovich said helplessly.
The Hus he refers to, that is, the Dutch coach Hus Hiddink, has a very good relationship with Abramovich, so he was able to become the head coach of the Russian national team at the same time as the interim manager of Chelsea.
Granovskia couldn't do it, and felt that this was the only way.
Just as the two were negotiating things, there was a sudden uproar in the stadium.
This meal made the two people in the stands jump their eyelids, and they got up from their seats and looked down.
Just saw Southampton break the ball at the back and quickly launched a counterattack.
Danilo passed the ball to Cesc Fabregas, and the Spanish midfielder didn't stop the ball and picked it up directly.
The ball fell behind the Chelsea defence, and Messi quickly chased after him, grabbed before Baba Rahman, unloaded the ball, and with a sharp stop, Baba Rahman suddenly oversave.
Messi is very agile and immediately changes to inward after the emergency stop.
Although Baba Rahman was quick to follow and John Terry was quick to get on the move, Messi still got a left-footed kick and pushed it into the bottom left corner of the net.
The ball was in a straight line and headed for the bottom left corner, and goalkeeper Begovic was already powerless.
But at the critical moment, I heard a bang, and the pillar made a meritorious service!
Messi grabbed his head the pitch, looking very remorseful, he was too much for the angle.
If you just put a little bit inside, then the ball is there!
Abramovich and Granovskia are relieved, they are already 5-0, but don't score again!
But after the game resumed, the Saints' offensive continued.
During a retreat from the front, Suarez stole the ball from Rakitic's feet and turned and quickly passed to Messi.
The Argentine occupied the middle and was immediately blocked by Mikel after winning the ball, so he had no choice but to turn around and protect the ball first.
But Chelsea's defence was also well organised this time, with Messi turning to protect the ball and Mikel and Ranocchia immediately sticking up.
But if you want to break the ball from Messi's feet, how can it be so easy?
I saw that the Argentine was bold, skillfully dribbling the ball with both feet, a 360-degree circle similar to Xavi, quickly getting rid of Mikel and Ranocchia, and rushing forward with the ball.
John Terry stepped up to stop Messi, but the Argentine quickly split the ball down the left.
Hazard had already inserted quickly along the left side and finally received Messi's pass in the big penalty area, but at this time, Ivanovic had already returned to the defense, and the two formed a one-on-one on the left side of the big penalty area.
Seeing that the Belgian received the ball, Ivanovic immediately pounced, but Hazard suddenly started and wanted to use his speed to shake off Ivanovic.
But Ivanovic is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately followed the start, wanting to stop Hazard.
What's worse is that as soon as Ivanovic started, he saw Hazard suddenly dunk the ball, which turned out to be just Hazard's feint.
Nimei, that's too realistic, isn't it?
To say that this Ivanovic is indeed hard enough, as soon as he found out that he was fooled, he immediately braked sharply, turned around and pasted it again.
But in this short period of one second, Hazard did not adjust the ball and directly crossed low.
The ball came to the edge of the six-yard box.
And Messi, who had just rushed to the front of the big penalty area, was ambushed here at this time, not waiting for the ball to land, holding the ground with his right foot, and talking about his left foot, it was directly a volley.
The shot was shot without any fancy, and with extremely fast speed, it crashed directly into the right side of the goal.
Begovic, who was standing on the left, could only watch helplessly as the ball went into the net.
Six to zero!
Begovic froze!
All the Chelsea players were stunned!
They could never have imagined that such a massacre would be encountered at Stamford Bridge!
Messi has finally scored!
The excited Argentine superstar seemed to know that there was a play or a chance to catch up and wait for a follow-up shot after completing the shot, in short, he quickly rushed to the goal, and at the moment of the whistle, he picked up the ball in the goal, turned and rushed out of the field.
It was his first goal in the Premier League!
It was also a memorable goal!
