Chapter 282 Icelanders' Pledge of Allegiance

Many of the news in these reports are obviously false.

In the eyes of Chelsea players, even if Eidur Gudjohnsen is somewhat dissatisfied with losing his starting position and not getting a chance to play in the game, at least they are all at peace with each other in normal times, and even have some fights occasionally. This is definitely not what The Guardian said, "the conflict has been laid out on the table."

Due to Wang Li's outstanding performance this season and his good popularity in the England national team, Wang Li's influence in the locker room is almost the same as that of the team captain John Terry. He has no need to have conflicts with the Icelander.

However, the players have no way of knowing the truth about the reports in the West London media, because even if Gudjohnsen himself applied for a transfer, he would not tell his teammates about this news.

Although Chelsea players can tell which of the news is true and which is false, the fans obviously don’t know that Gudjohnsen has played for Chelsea for more than four seasons. In previous games, his performance was affirmed by all Blues fans. It can be said that he still has a certain influence among Blues fans.

When the fans learned the news, many of them expressed in media interviews that they hope Gudjohnsen will stay at Chelsea and that head coach Mourinho can give him more opportunities. For the fans, no matter where Gudjohnsen goes or what the future holds, who doesn't want outstanding players to stay in their team?

Therefore, in the afternoon when these reports appeared, many media also flocked to the news. Although Eidur Gudjohnsen was not very outstanding in Chelsea, he was a rare striker for other teams. If he were to leave Chelsea, it would definitely be a heavyweight transfer. Moreover, some media reports also mentioned the conflict between Wang Li, Drogba and Gudjohnsen. This seemed very likely to them, and the fans all hoped to get accurate news---

Of course, this is a major selling point for the media.

As public opinion became more and more heated, the parties involved had to clarify the matter in front of the media.

In an interview, Wang Li spread his hands and asked in response to the recent rumors: "Where did you hear these things? How come I don't know? Eidur and I have a good relationship. Last time we scored a goal, we hugged each other. You can see all this."

"Arsenal are Chelsea's league rivals, and Fulham are Chelsea's sworn enemies. I think this is very likely to be a mess created by them just to cause trouble for the team. This is nonsense."

As the protagonist, Gudjohnsen said that he had no intention of leaving Chelsea. Facing the media's skeptical eyes, he said: "Chelsea's performance this season is ridiculously good. I will definitely win the championship here. There is no reason to leave."

"But the coach rarely gives you playing opportunities. Don't you want more opportunities?"

Gudjohnsen spread his hands and said: "Since the start of the league, I have had many opportunities. Although it is a little worse than last season, I have never considered leaving Chelsea. Over the years, I have fallen in love with this club, Stamford Bridge and the fans here. As long as the club still needs me, I will not leave."

Eidur Gudjohnson's words really sounded touching, and they lowered the tone of the media's high-sounding arguments a lot. The Fulham Post even regarded it as a pledge of allegiance by Icelanders.

Of course, there are still many media who are not giving up. They interviewed Chelsea's head coach Jose Mourinho...

"What? Eidul is leaving? Where did you hear such a ridiculous statement? I think the person who asked this question should go see a psychiatrist. If he believes such a ridiculous thing, there must be something wrong with his brain."

"By the way, I know an expert in this field in Portugal. He has been working in a psychiatric hospital for more than 20 years. He is a very good doctor. I can introduce him to you..."

After Mourinho's remarks, the media immediately gave up hope of prying anything out of him. The first reporter from The Guardian who asked the question had a gloomy face, his hands were entangled in anger, and he almost dropped the camera on the ground.

………

The next day, Chelsea first team training ground.

The players are doing some pre-match adaptation training. Everyone is doing some small warm-up exercises. The purpose of this training is to adjust the body to the best condition in order to cope with the afternoon game.

"Alan, here I am." When Wang Li walked onto the court, Gudjansen raised his hand and greeted him.

Wang Li turned around and smiled, then ran forward a few steps, turned around and kicked a football in front of the former, saying, "Go ahead."

Gudjohnsen was stunned for a moment, grinned, kicked the ball hard towards the goal, then turned around and gave Wang Li a thumbs up.

"Fuck you, this is training, do you want me to get injured and leave the field?" At this time, a discordant voice came from in front of the goal.

Wang Li and the other man were stunned and turned to look towards the goal.

At this time, Cech was standing there, covering his forehead with his hands, looking at Gudjohnsen with a sad face. It turned out that he was discussing the experience of goalkeeping with Thomas just now. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, the football hit him directly on the forehead.

"SorrySorry" Gudjohnsen hurried over to comfort Cech.

………

After the media broke the news, Gudjohnsen felt more or less embarrassed when he saw Drogba and Wang Li again. In fact, although he had some thoughts of leaving the club, that would be at least after the end of this season.

The so-called revelations in the media were nothing more than his cousin's agent spreading the news everywhere, with the purpose of increasing Chelsea's attention to Gudjohnsen.

Of course, it would be best if the Icelander could get more playing time at Chelsea.

Gudjohnsen's statement of loyalty to the club yesterday, coupled with his active adaptation and friendly relations with Wang Li and Drogba in the past two days, has made everyone return to their previous attitude.

In the locker room and on the training ground, calm and harmony once again became the theme.

………

Soon, it was 4:30 in the afternoon. The Chelsea players were still on the field, but the surrounding background had turned into a blue ocean.

That's right, the Champions League group stage is about to begin.

The media did not pay much attention to this game. Instead, many Russian media came to England to follow the performance of their country's top team, but in fact they did not have much hope, because the opponent was Chelsea: the Russians were very confident in the strength of CSKA Moscow. Even if they fought against Barcelona, ​​they dared to say with confidence that we will work hard to win, but they really had no confidence in this private club of Abramovich.

Not to mention the Russians, even FIFA knows that there will definitely not be a big fight between the two teams, and there must be some fishy stuff involved. But, so what? They don't have any evidence, and Mr. Abramovich is not the boss of CSKA Moscow now.

Anyway, this match is also Chelsea's first home match in the new season of the European Champions League, so the Blues fans still flocked to the game. They all hope that the team can fight hard in the European arena and show Chelsea's style of "the first team in the Premier League" in front of many foreign media. Of course, this is just their own evaluation...

After the players did some warm-up exercises, they returned to the locker room together, ready to go out until the game was about to start.

At this time, the Chelsea fans who had just entered the stadium were not lonely either, because many beautiful Chelsea cheerleaders appeared on the stadium. They danced beautiful football dances for no reason, which made the Chelsea fans in the stands appreciate and talk about it. After a while, the chairman of the fan association came and led the fans to sing Chelsea's team song together. Of course, the loud voice of Reed Pesvak in the broadcasting room was also a way for the fans to relieve their boredom.

After a long wait, time finally passed slowly, and soon, players from both teams were about to enter the field.

"Edur Gudjohnsen No. 22"

Creed was introducing the team's starting lineup in the broadcasting room. When he read Gudjansen's name, the Blues fans in the stadium burst into huge cheers.

During the years he played for Chelsea, Gudjohnsen has indeed accumulated a lot of popularity with his goals, and many Blues fans admire this Icelander.

Hearing the cheers of the fans, Gudjohnsen felt excited.

This season, although his salary has increased a lot, the outstanding performance of his teammates has made his time at Chelsea not smooth. Amid the doubts about his transfer from various media yesterday, the Icelander even felt that the club no longer needed him.

And now, these lovely fans have given him a reason to stay here, 'At least, the fans haven't forgotten me.'

"Alan Wang"

When Wang Li's name came out of Creed's mouth, the cheers of the entire Stamford Bridge reached a peak. This was by no means comparable to the effect brought by the Icelander just now. This also made Gudjohnsen feel sad that his four and a half years at Chelsea were not as good as the ten league games of this black-haired boy.

This also illustrates the difference in performance.

………

After introducing Chelsea's starting lineup, Creed quickly introduced CSKA Moscow's starting lineup: "Goalkeeper No. 35 Achinfev, defenders No. 4 Ignasievich, No. 2 Sembras, No. 6 Berezots, midfielders No. 15 Odia, No. 22 Aldonin, No. 7 Carvalho, No. 18 Zirkov, forwards No. 8 Gusev, No. 11 Love and No. 17 Krasic."

"It is obvious that CSKA Moscow has arranged a 343 formation. It seems that they want to have an offensive battle with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. I really admire the fighting spirit of these Russians. Although their strength is not outstanding, they are courageous."
