Chapter 471 It's not easy to dig into the Soviet Union!
In the stands of the Stade de France, Abramovich's gloomy face was full of words.
Angry! He couldn't understand why he had invested so much money in Chelsea and brought in so many stars over the years, but in the end, he still lost to Barcelona?
Could it be that Chelsea is not strong enough?
Could it be that Chelsea's two consecutive Premier League titles, beating Manchester United and Arsenal, were all fake? This is impossible!
Abramovich knows better than anyone that Chelsea's invincibility in the Premier League is definitely not fake.
It’s not false that we can reach the Champions League final this season.
The strength of the team is there. He has invested so much money in the past three years, and the team he has built is there. The key is just a little bit missing.
It can be said that Chelsea is just one step away from the Champions League title! This made Abramovich wonder if this was Mourinho's problem? Didn't Mourinho lose to Valencia, coached by Benitez, in the Champions League final when he coached Porto?
Losing again now, is this a coincidence? This reminds Abramovich of the change of coach two years ago, wasn't it because Ranieri couldn't lead the team to win the championship?
As soon as the head coach was replaced by Mourinho, the team won two consecutive Premier League titles.
What if Mourinho was replaced? If Rijkaard, who won two consecutive championships, was brought in, would Chelsea be able to win the championship? A series of tempting ideas grew wildly in Abramovich's mind. He liked Rijkaard's offensive football very much.
The reason why he invested in football was because he watched the game between Real Madrid and Manchester United. At that time, Real Madrid was full of superstars and played the best and most gorgeous football in the world.
That was the team he wanted in his mind! But at Chelsea, neither Ranieri nor Mourinho could give him the kind of football he wanted.
Rijkaard can! …
"Peter, what do you think is missing from winning the Champions League?" Abramovich asked in a deep voice.
Peter Kenyon looked at his boss carefully, then looked back at the Chelsea players and coaches on the field, and sighed in his heart. He clearly sensed Abramovich's dissatisfaction.
This is not surprising. Anyone who invests so much money and finally makes it to the Champions League final, but loses the game in the end, will definitely not be in a good mood, and may even want to kill someone, especially someone with a personality like Abramovich.
But from the perspective of a professional manager, Peter Kenyon feels that Mourinho and the players cannot be blamed for this.
"I think we still lack some foundation and accumulation," Peter Kenyon replied.
"Foundation? Accumulation?"
"It can also be said to be experience. After all, most of our team members are playing in the Champions League final for the first time and have no experience of winning the championship, so it is inevitable that we may not cope with it as we wish. But I believe that after the defeat this season, the team lost the championship, but gained a valuable asset. When we enter the Champions League again, we will be more confident."
Abramovich listened silently, without changing his expression, but his heart became more determined about what he had just thought.
To put it bluntly, Mourinho can't win the championship! "Next season, Shevchenko will come. He will bring victory and championship genes to the team, and will also bring more goals. I believe that by then, we will definitely succeed!" Peter Kenyon said to please the boss.
AC Milan finally agreed to Shevchenko's transfer, and due to the contract, the transfer fee is much lower than before.
However, after the transfer fee was reduced, Shevchenko's salary package will increase to 10 million euros per year, which is higher than Su Dong's current annual salary and is considered quite generous.
Whether it is Abramovich or Peter Kenyon, everyone at Chelsea believes that Shevchenko's arrival can solve Chelsea's problem of weak offense and can form a good combination with Drogba.
The Ivorians are like a crude battering ram, powerful but not sharp enough.
Shevchenko is like a nuclear warhead. Once detonated, the destructive power is incredible.
Countless people, including Abramovich, have been unable to resist outlining Chelsea's beautiful forward line for the new season, with Drogba as the spearhead to attack the opponent's defense, and then Shevchenko running to score goals.
That scene is simply irresistible.
And Peter Kenyon believes that the new season will be Mourinho's last chance.
If Chelsea still cannot win the Champions League after making up for the shortcomings in the forward line, the Portuguese madman will probably have to leave.

On the field, Chelsea players retreated to the side early, while Barcelona players, led by captain Puyol, went to the stands where Barcelona fans were to thank all the fans who came to the scene for their support.
The fans at the scene also stood up and applauded and cheered for the Barcelona players, especially Su Dong.
Many fans were shouting Su Dong's name, which showed Su Dong's status in the hearts of Barcelona fans.
Naturally, this scene was watched by everyone in the venue.
In the presidential stands, legendary stars such as Beckenbauer and Platini were invited guests and participated in the pre-match celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the Champions League. Now, they have also seen Su Dong's status in the hearts of Barcelona fans.
"Franz, it seems that it is not so easy for you to poach Sudong from Barcelona!" Platini looked at Beckenbauer jokingly.
Beckenbauer reached out to support his glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled bitterly. It was indeed not easy.
With Su Dong's current momentum and influence, it is already very difficult to poach him. Now that he has won the Champions League, it is even more difficult to poach him.
But no matter how difficult it is, you must find an opportunity to give it a try.
"The current situation in the Bundesliga is a bit depressing. It is not a solution to continue like this," Beckenbauer said worriedly.
The Bundesliga has been in decline for many years now, and there are even signs that it will be surpassed by Ligue 1, which makes the Germans feel a sense of crisis.
If the Bundesliga does not develop further, it may really become a second-rate league in Europe.
And if the Bundesliga wants to regroup, the first to bear the brunt will be the leader Bayern Munich.
You know, when the Bundesliga swept the European football scene, Bayern Munich was the most powerful team in the Bundesliga and was nicknamed the Green Hollywood, which shows the influence of Bayern at that time.
In terms of the number of Champions League titles, which is the most prestigious among European giants, Bayern Munich is also among the best in Europe. And in terms of the number of Golden Ball awards, Bayern Munich players are also able to keep pace with top giants such as Real Madrid, AC Milan and Juventus.
It can be said that Bayern Munich is one of the top European giants in terms of influence and club performance.
Not to mention, among the economies of European countries today, Germany is unique.
In the EU, Germany and France are known as the two decision-makers of the EU.
With a strong national economy as support and the Bundesliga itself operating in a healthy manner, after several years of reform, Germany's youth training has gradually ushered in a harvest period. All these have made Beckenbauer and others full of confidence in the future of German football.
The 2006 World Cup was about to begin, and the football emperor was looking forward to the Bundesliga taking off as well.

Su Dong and his teammates celebrated on the sidelines, while also looking for his parents in the stands.
The first person he discovered was Wang Chuqing.
Even in the crowded stands, she was still the most eye-catching and stunning focus.
Su Dong's parents were sitting next to her, as well as Ma Dawei.
When they saw Su Dong, they all waved at him and were happy and proud of him.
"This kid..." Su Wenji's voice was a little choked.
He has come to Europe to watch the Champions League final for three consecutive seasons. He himself couldn't believe that Su Dong could reach the Champions League final for three consecutive years and win the championship for three consecutive years.
This is incredible!
As a father, he is proud of his son, and also proud of the decision he made back then.
He knew that Su Dong had suffered a lot, but to have come this far, all the hardships in the past were worth it.
…
After waiting for a long time until the podium was ready, UEFA staff called on the Barcelona players to gather and prepare to go on stage to receive the award. The guest of honor was UEFA President Johansson.
As this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Champions League, the stands are packed with superstars and guests at this moment.
The Barcelona players were all very excited. They couldn't contain their excitement and they wanted to rush onto the stage, snatch the St. Bledsoe Cup and take it home to sleep.
The runners-up Chelsea have also lined up their teams, and they all look a little uninterested.
How could they accept reaching the Champions League final but only getting runner-up?
But no matter how unacceptable it is, it is reality! Su Dong silently watched the Chelsea players walk up to the podium, especially Mourinho. He felt the reluctance of the Portuguese madman, and kept reminding himself in his heart that he must guard against arrogance and impatience.
Because he doesn't want to find himself in the role of the Chelsea player he is today.
He likes to win!
After the Chelsea players had received their medals, the Barcelona players, led by head coach Rijkaard, stepped onto the podium one after another.
As a legendary star of the past, Rijkaard has won the Champions League both as a player and as a head coach, which is also a legend.
Su Dong fell behind the team, only slightly ahead of captain Puyol and Ronaldinho.
This is also the norm, because the two of them are at the end and just in time to hold the championship trophy.
But along the way, Su Dong was the player who received the most congratulations.
Many legendary players, including Beckenbauer and Platini, congratulated Su Dong and praised his performance tonight.
After going up to the stage, bowing his head, and putting on the championship medal from Johansson, Su Dong stepped aside and stood with other teammates, standing between Puyol and Ronaldinho.
The two captains of Barcelona took the St. Bledsoe Cup from Johansson, one on the left and one on the right.
When they held the championship trophy high above their heads, everyone in the stadium, including Chelsea fans, cheered for Barcelona.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless legendary night!
