Chapter 1021: I'm Going to China!
Having just survived the Christmas Devils schedule, England's squad is starting to enter a busy recovery phase. One to read a book??· 1?k?a, n?s?h?u, c?c?
Teams with a relatively large personnel reserve will usually arrange a substitute squad to play in the FA Cup, or even the League Cup, in January, leaving more time for the main players to rest.
But that clearly doesn't include Chelsea.
After the Blues changed managers, Guus Hiddink put out the fire on a temporary basis, and one of the important tasks was to salvage the team's decline.
Therefore, in the formulation of the team's season plan, the original ambitious plans at the beginning of the season have now been lost one by one, and the team's goals have been constantly changing, from the original European qualification, to the League Cup, and then to the current FA Cup.
For Chelsea, there is no hope of European competition, and the Carabao Cup has been eliminated, leaving only the FA Cup.
Hiddink has said in a meeting before that all the main players of the team are on it!
This means that after a hard time playing the Christmas Devils' schedule, the team will also face the FA Cup, against a League One side Scunthorpe.
You know?
This team is ranked lower in the League One than Southampton's second team, and this season it has been slaughtered by the second team of the Saints, but Chelsea should use the full main squad to play a team that is far inferior to the second team, isn't it a joke?
But in this case, everyone is in danger, who dares to say anything?
At the end of the day, in the dressing room at the Cobham training base, the players silently showered, changed their clothes, put on their shoes, and then walked away, almost no one could speak.
Even if there is something to say, it is more about making eye contact.
Ever since the incident forced out midfielder Oscar, Chelsea's internal management has been problematic.
So much so that now, when seeing that Oscar is not the main force in the Saints, but he is a powerful substitute in the midfield, and often has outstanding performances, everyone is happy for him.
How could this seemingly literary Brazilian player be an internal ghost?
Captain John Terry sat in front of his closet, watching his teammates go about their business, and he didn't know what to say.
The former Friends and Wife Gate incident was indeed a big damage to his personal image, but it did not affect his status in the team.
Those who know him know that he just made a mistake that all men make. One Reading Book·1?k?an?s?h?u?· c?c?
He is silent because he is also one of the people who are in danger.
He has only half a year left on his contract, but the club has never said anything.
Is it a continuation or not a continuation?
This is obviously a problem, but some people feel that it is not.
If Terry were five years younger, it would be in his favor to continue dragging it out, and he would be happy to do so.
But now Terry is thirty-five years old, and it will be very bad for him to drag it out any longer.
He was clearly aware that the club were putting pressure on him.
Although he is not young, Terry's form has remained quite good, he was still one of the outstanding central defenders in England last season, even if the team's overall performance is sluggish this season, Terry is still the anchor of the team's backline.
What's more, John Terry knows his level well and he knows he can keep playing and he wants to keep playing at Chelsea and it's better to retire from this team.
But it's clear that someone doesn't think so.
This made Terry feel helpless.
After changing his clothes and putting on his shoes, he had just stood up and sorted out his clothes in front of the mirror in the closet, when he saw a coach walk into the locker room and shout inside, "John! ”
Terry turned his head away because there was only one John in this locker room.
He saw a coach waving at him and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Come out for a moment!"
Terry was about to go out, so he closed the closet, and when he turned around, he saw that his teammates were all showing doubts, and even a little fear, and smiled slightly, "It's nothing, maybe I want to talk about the FA Cup prize money." ”
A teammate in the locker room suddenly showed a smile on his face, but it was more like self-comfort.
With Chelsea's poor performance this season, the owner paid a large amount of liquidated damages after sacking Jose Mourinho, and in this case is still counting on bonuses?
Terry himself didn't believe it.
But when he walked out of the locker room, he saw Executive Officer Marina Granovskia standing in the distance, and suddenly, Terry's heart was worried. One to read? · 1?k?anshu·cc
Because he knew that Granovskia represented Abramovich, and she would not have come to Cobham without a big event.
"Hello, Marina!" Terry walked over, squeezed out a smile, and shook Granovskia's hand.
"Hello, John!"
"Is there something wrong?" Terry asked.
Granovskia nodded, "You shouldn't be interviewed by the media after the game, it should be left to the press officer, you make it difficult for us to do that, especially what you said." ”
Terry is a smart guy who deals with management a lot, and he understands what Granovskja means.
The problem is not that he gives interviews to the media privately, because that's nothing.
He was interviewed after the match, in the mixed interview area, so there would be no problem at all.
The problem is in what he says.
John Terry says he wants to stay at Chelsea, but the club have not offered a new contract and have been slow to negotiate a new contract, so he could leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
This has caused quite a stir among Chelsea fans, as John Terry is so important to Chelsea these days.
However, anyone who has watched Chelsea play is not hard to see that John Terry is still in good form, and with Chelsea now lacking a major general, all Blues fans believe that Terry should be retained.
But the management is hesitant to renew the contract, which is puzzling.
'Marina, even though I'm a Chelsea player, I think everyone should have the right to express their position, shouldn't they?' Terry shook his head at this.
"Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with what I said, I'm just telling the truth."
"But you should know that it's causing problems for the operation of the club, you put pressure on us, we were already planning to renew your contract, but now it's ......"
Before Granovskia could finish speaking, Terry couldn't help but wave his hand, "Are you sure you mean what you're saying?" ”
Granovskia was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said slowly: "We are indeed studying whether to renew your contract. ”
"And the result?" Terry waited for an answer.
Granovskia shook his head, "We can't give you an answer at the moment, you know, we are in contact with Pep Guardiola, we want him to take over at Chelsea in the new season, we need to confirm the manager first, and then negotiate with the manager about your contract extension, you have to have confidence in the club." ”
When Terry heard this, his heart was happy, "What if you decide not to renew my contract then?" ”
Granovskia was speechless.
At that time, Terry only has two options, if he still wants to play, then he can just choose a team to play for, and if he really can't, he will retire directly.
Of course, with Terry's influence in the team, if he takes the initiative to bow his head and give in, he should be able to ask for a contract extension, but the salary must be up to them.
"Marina, I received the news that you are contacting the American central defender Mizga, and you are still renewing the contract with Ivanovic, I wonder if these two transactions have been approved and approved by the new coach?"
Terry's rhetorical tone made Granovskia very uncomfortable, especially the thick irony in his words, which made Abramovich's cronies feel humiliated.
"John, the club has a club way of doing things, if you insist on thinking like this, then we can't do it."
Terry knows the answer, in fact, they may not even have even looked into whether to renew their contract at all, they just want to delay time, and as for how long, then let's talk about it.
"Ok, Marina, I see what the club means, because you guys are insincere!" Terry's tone intensified.
'I've been here at Stamford Bridge since I was 14 years old and it's been 21 years now and I'm not here because I'm compromised, I know it's never going to be respected.
Granovskia was also a little nervous, knowing that John Terry was the team's banner and the team's current defensive pillar, but his contract extension was not in the club's plans.
If she is not careful, she will be charged with forcing away the club's exploits and will be scolded by all the Blues fans.
"Marina, frankly, I don't expect you to respect me, but now I want to tell you solemnly that I want to be able to buy out my own contract and leave on my winter break!"
"What?" Granovskia was taken aback and left during the winter break?
"How can this be?"
Terry smiled coldly, "Why not?" ”
The Chelsea captain glanced around at the familiar Cobham again, and suddenly felt so strange and unfamiliar.
"I love Chelsea, but I don't love your Chelsea!"
With that, Terry turned and walked away, not looking back.
Granovskia was a little at a loss, she never imagined that Terry would suddenly offer to buy out her contract.
According to the rules, he could have done that, but ......
If John Terry leaves now, how will Chelsea's backline play?
Despite the introduction of Mizga, the American centre-back has yet to be tested by the British in a real way, so who can take Terry's place in this situation? Playing Terry's role in the team?
No, no, you have to keep him!
Granovskía turned around and was about to shout, when he heard the roar of a car, and Terry had already sped away, leaving Granovskia standing there, smelling the smell of gasoline all over the floor.
At the door of the dressing room, some of the Chelsea players who had just come out of the dressing room saw the scene and heard their conversation, and they all knew that John Terry was leaving and probably would never return.
A famous player who has played in the club for more than 20 years has left like this.
It's frustrating, it's disappointing.
Granovskia was completely panicked, she didn't expect that things would unfold to this point, and the club was already upset enough, but what would happen if there was a fuss about Terry now?
Is Chelsea really going to chill all the players?
But Terry, who was driving on the road, obviously ignored the thoughts of the others behind him, he had already made a decision, he felt a sense of relief all over his body, and the mood that had been suppressed for a long time was completely cheerful.
Driving the car, I suddenly remembered, took out my mobile phone, and made a phone call.
"Young Master Huan, it's me, John, I've decided, buy out my contract, I'm going to China!"
Yang Huan on the other side of the phone looked very happy and laughed constantly.
After finally hanging up the phone call of Young Master Huan, Terry called his agent again and told him his decision.
After thinking about it, I made a phone call to my good friend, Martin Samuel, a well-known columnist in England.
After doing these things, he was truly relieved.
He's free!
