Chapter 403 Abu's Revelations

The game at Stamford Bridge was over, but all Bayern fans remembered this "humiliating" match deeply. In the end, the scoreboard clearly showed "5:1". Combined with the "2:5" in the previous round at the Olympic Stadium, Bayern lost the semi-final with a humiliating result of "3:10", a complete defeat! !

In the second half of the game, due to the weakness of Bayern's backcourt, they had to step up their attack, which allowed Chelsea to find many scoring opportunities in the counterattack. Wang Li alone scored three goals in 20 minutes, completely shattering the remaining fighting spirit of Bayern.

After that, in the final moments of the game, Arjen Robben received a pass from Lampard and scored a long shot, adding icing on the cake for Chelsea, and the game ended with 5:1.

Facing the fierce Chelsea, Kahn, the German goalkeeper, was beaten like a sieve. The shame of conceding 10 goals in 2 games was deeply imprinted in his career record.

After the game, Germany's Kicker newspaper commented that Bayern had experienced a humiliating semi-final, and the gap between German football and the world was getting bigger and bigger. As the banner of German football, Bayern Munich should clear their heads after the game and strive to do better next season. They also criticized the new head coach Felix Magath. They felt that this big defeat had a lot to do with Magath's tactical mistakes: "... We doubt Magath's coaching ability, especially his tactical ability. In the match against Chelsea, his tactics were completely suppressed by Mourinho in both games. Perhaps Bayern should consider changing the head coach..."

Bild believes that German football needs a reform. They believe that if it continues like this, German football will lag far behind the world: "We should learn from the successful experience of the Premier League. In Germany, there is only one top club, Bayern Munich. Such a non-competitive environment will cause German football to regress. No player likes to come to a non-competitive environment, because their abilities will not be improved. Now other leagues are increasing their investment, and we should also introduce foreign investment and learn from Chelsea's successful experience. You know, that club was only a strong team a few years ago, but now it has surpassed the top clubs."

The Italian media were very happy to see this result. Chelsea's strong victory over AC Milan made them very conflicted. But now, Bayern Munich, which eliminated Inter Milan, lost directly 10:3, which made them feel extremely refreshed. The team that beat AC Milan defeated Bayern in this way, which shows that the level of Italian football is still higher than that of the Bundesliga.

With this idea in mind, the Italian media were full of praise for Chelsea, especially for Wang Li, whom they did not hesitate to praise.

Gazzetta dello Sport claimed that Chelsea's success was not surprising. Seven of their 10 goals were scored by Wang Li, and the abilities of the other players were beyond doubt. It was natural for such a team to beat Bayern by a large margin. But in fact, they might have been thinking, "A team that can beat AC Milan can certainly beat any other team."

In addition to Gazzetta dello Sport, other Italian media expressed similar opinions. They felt that Chelsea was strong enough and the result was not unexpected.

The English media were the happiest, not only because Chelsea defeated Bayern by a large margin, but also because Liverpool defeated Eindhoven. What does this mean?

The Champions League final will be a civil war among English teams!!

What an honor for a league!!

The English media can confidently say 'the best team in the world is in England, and the second best team in the world is still in England'. Guided by this kind of thinking, one can imagine how crazy the always arrogant English people will report.

"England is experiencing a football boom, and the Champions League has become a civil war in England!!"

"Alan Wang is leading the English football world by storm. Who will become the supreme king between Liverpool and Chelsea?!"

"All the world's top clubs can only look up to England, where Chelsea and Liverpool are competing for supremacy!!"

…

In the first day's reports, the English media tried their best to exaggerate the facts. Bayern's failure was almost ignored by them. Who would care about a loser? What they needed to report was this super luxurious civil war in England.

At this time Fulham became a sea of ​​joy. Chelsea fans seemed to be celebrating a festival. They could be seen partying in the streets. Even the local government officials of Fulham modified a platform in the district hall. They planned to celebrate here after Chelsea won the European Championship trophy.

There are two teams in the Fulham area of ​​London: Fulham and Chelsea. However, these two teams have never won the European Championship in 50 years. This time they really caught up. In England, where the football atmosphere is strong, this is a great thing!

Many Blues fans think that it is no problem for Chelsea to win the Champions League, just because their opponent is Liverpool. Liverpool has lost to them three times in a row this season, so one more time is just natural, right? That old football aristocracy is outdated, and now English football is dominated by Chelsea.

Now, many English fans hope that time will pass faster. They want to see Chelsea win four more championships as soon as possible. Now is the beginning of May, and the FA Cup will start on May 21st. Their opponent is Arsenal from London, and May 26th is the date of the Champions League final.

In other words, as long as it comes to May 26, Chelsea will be able to win the quadruple championship! !

Four crowns!!

This was something that was unthinkable in the past. Haven't you seen that Manchester United fans are still reminiscing about the treble they won in 1999? If Chelsea can win the quadruple, what will that be like? It will at least make Chelsea fans proud for ten or even decades.

If a survey is conducted in Fulham now, asking "who is the most popular person", then Wang Li will undoubtedly be the first place. He will be the most popular person not only in Fulham, but in the whole of England. Whether it is his football skills, appearance or age, he is qualified to be everyone's idol. His reputation in England has even surpassed David Beckham.

The second place would undoubtedly be Chelsea's head coach Jose Mourinho. When the Portuguese first came to Chelsea, few people liked him, but now under his leadership, Chelsea has achieved the best results in history and even has great hopes of winning the quadruple championship. In the hearts of many fans, his position has become unshakable.

The third place will be Chelsea's chairman, Mr. Abramovich.

Like Mourinho, when he came to Chelsea, almost no one liked him. The fans thought that this Russian had only a lot of rubles but didn't know anything about football. Could such a person help Chelsea achieve good results? No one believed it, and they thought Abramovich was a black-hearted businessman.

But now, with huge investments of rubles, Chelsea has achieved one good result after another. The fans are the cutest people and they will not forget the role of this Russian.

Compared to the fans, the media are more concerned about which team, Liverpool or Chelsea, will win the Champions League.

It is undeniable that Chelsea is very strong. They have defeated Liverpool three times this season, but this does not mean that Liverpool has no hope of winning. If you think about it rationally, Liverpool's strength is not bad, they still have the possibility of defeating Chelsea. Although the probability is very small, hope is hope, and we can't ignore it just because the hope is small.

In the assessment of The Sun reporter, they felt that Liverpool's probability of winning was 5%, only 5%.

They believe that Liverpool's strength is at least one level lower than Chelsea's, and their victory over Chelsea was an upset: "Chelsea has Lampard, Terry, Drogba... and the most outstanding Alan Wong. What about Liverpool? Who do they have? Only one Gerrard... The gap in strength between the two teams is too big. It is a miracle that Liverpool can get to where they are now. We can only say that their luck is pretty good, but that's it."

The Sun fully supports Chelsea, so it is not surprising that they make such reports, but other newspapers are not very optimistic about Liverpool.

For example, The Guardian, which has always been against Chelsea, carefully analyzed the two teams' performance this season, head-to-head records, the abilities of the two teams' players, etc. in their reports, and finally concluded that "Liverpool has no advantage in any aspect. Perhaps the only thing they are better than Chelsea in is fighting spirit."

Although the Guardian's report seems to be more biased towards Chelsea, those arguments are all real data, which is very useful for reference. However, they emphasized Liverpool's fighting spirit in the end. It has to be said that Chelsea does not have an advantage in this regard. Compared with the Liverpool people's tenacious spirit of the game, Chelsea is more like an aristocrat who knows how to enjoy life, but is far behind in fighting spirit.

Many other newspapers in England also analyzed the comparison between the two teams, and the conclusions they reached were not much different from that of the Guardian.

However, Chelsea fans don't care about these comments. As long as they can win, no matter how much fighting spirit they have, those things are just talk. Victory is the most important thing.

Perhaps the odds offered by bookmakers are the most convincing. The famous London bookmaker RMC has offered odds of 5:1 for Chelsea, which means that if you bet on Chelsea to win, after deducting taxes, there will be basically no surplus. The odds for Liverpool are just the opposite, 1:5. As long as Liverpool wins you can get 5 times the profit.

Although many fans believe that Chelsea will definitely win, there are still some gamblers who like challenges and bet on Liverpool to win. After all, the 5 times odds are not just talk, they are real pounds.

…………

On the night after reaching the final, as there had been no important games recently, Mourinho was generous enough to let the entire Chelsea team party for the entire night. The next day, the entire Chelsea team took a two-day holiday to allow the players to rest, recover and prepare to return to training again, because the two tense finals would begin in a dozen days.

That night, everyone's tense nerves relaxed. Even Wang Li felt particularly relaxed during the past two days. He didn't have to think about the team's games and could enjoy his two-person world with Angela. These were truly wonderful days.

However, amidst the beauty, there were also some unsatisfactory aspects, at least that was what Wang Li felt, because on the second day of the holiday, Angela dragged him to Victoria Street. In fact, although Wang Li had come here to stroll around on weekdays, this was the first time he had actually entered Victoria Avenue.

This is the richest commercial street in London. Every house on this street can be sold at a high price of more than 5 million pounds. This is evident from the fact that their purpose of coming here is naturally to prepare gifts for meeting Angela's father, Sir Edward.

As the second in line to the throne, it is easy to imagine that Duke Edward is definitely very particular. Fortunately, Angela helped choose gifts, otherwise Wang Li would definitely not know what to buy.

In fact, his current wealth is not less than that of some royal nobles, but his "ideological realm" and the degree to which he enjoys life are still somewhat different from those of the English nobles. This can perhaps be described as a "nouveau riche".

After more than half a day's effort, the two finally chose a gift, which was an exquisite decorative item. Angela felt that by giving it to Sir Edward, she could win some favor.

But looking at the price tag above, even though Wang Li is now worth nearly 20 million pounds, he still feels dizzy - 890,000 pounds.

This was less than his monthly salary, but it was the first time for him to buy something so expensive. Even the super luxurious sports car at home was a gift from the club's chairman, Mr. Abramovich.

However, for Angela, Wang Li could still afford to spend this little bit of money. Although he was a little reluctant, he gritted his teeth and bought it.

Of course, this matter was not something that made Wang Li worry too much. What worried him most was that Angela wanted him to meet Sir Edward as soon as possible.

As the saying goes, 'an ugly daughter-in-law must meet her parents-in-law'. This is especially true for a man. When you meet your father-in-law for the first time, you will always feel conflicted. No matter how outstanding you are, you will still feel this way.

Fortunately, he has to go to training again tomorrow. At least before the Champions League final, Wang Li doesn't have to worry about this issue. Once he gets a Champions League trophy, he may have more confidence to meet Angela's father?

That's what he thought at this moment.

If the Blues fans knew that the so-called "Chelsea Centennial Hero" Alan Wong was working hard to win the championship trophy, more for the purpose of giving himself a higher value so that he could have face to meet his "future father-in-law", I wonder what they would think...

No matter what, Chelsea has entered the most important moment of the season. The two finals are only five days apart. In order to win the quadruple crown, they cannot afford to lose any game. Otherwise, Chelsea's season will not be perfect.

Mr. Abramovich thought so too. After Chelsea defeated Bayern 10:3 and advanced to the Champions League final with high spirits, the Russian has been smiling for days. He feels proud wherever he goes. After all, Chelsea is his private club and his property. As the boss, he is of course happy that the team can achieve this result.

So the reporters were also happy because Abramovich actually appeared in the public eye one day. Although the four fierce bodyguards around him looked difficult to deal with, there were still brave reporters who ran over to interview him.

Mr. Abu is in a good mood now, so he accepted the interview!

This is a reporter from the Fulham Post. He really didn't expect to get the chance to interview Mr. Abramovich. This kind of opportunity is very prestigious, so he was a little nervous at the beginning: "Please ask... Mr. A... A... B, how confident are you that Chelsea can win the quadruple this season?"

Fortunately, this reporter was not a rookie, and his speech became much more fluent after the interview began.

Mr. Abu looked at the young reporter in front of him and smiled calmly, saying: "Full of confidence! It's as easy as taking something out of my pocket!" As he said that, he actually took out a lighter from his suit, then took a cigar from the bodyguard, lit it and started smoking.

At this time, a reporter from the ancient oriental country happened to follow him. It was Xue Tao, a reporter from Sports Weekly who had interviewed Wang Li before. He almost laughed out loud when he heard what Mr. Abramovich said, thinking, isn't this just "taking something out of a bag"? However, Xue Tao held back, because he knew that laughing in front of the Chelsea chairman was not a good choice, as it would make him lose the right to interview.

As a reporter from an ancient oriental country, Xue Tao didn't care much whether Chelsea could win the quadruple championship. He only cared about Wang Li's performance, so he shifted the topic to Wang Li as soon as he opened his mouth. Little did he know that this touched Mr. Abramovich's heart. Mr. Abramovich has always been most proud of Chelsea having such an outstanding player like Wang Li. He felt that he was the one who poached Wang Li from that country club in Wolverhampton, but Mourinho's role in it was completely ignored by him.

"Hello, Mr. Abu. I am a reporter from the Eastern Ancient Country's Sports Weekly. What do you think of the young player Allen Wang? Can you predict how many goals Allen can score in the upcoming football cup final?"

After hearing Xue Tao's question, the reporters who had just arrived nearby immediately shut up. They all couldn't help but give Xue Tao a thumbs up. This question was definitely one that most people were concerned about, and asking the club chairman Mr. Abu to answer it added fuel to the fire of such revelations.

Mr. Abramovich seemed calm and composed. He smiled and said, "The opponent is that country boy team from North London? How can that team compare with Chelsea? They are no match at all. I think Alan can score at least three goals."

As he spoke, Mr. Abu also stretched out three fingers.

This performance stunned many reporters present. A reporter from North London forced a smile and said, "You...you are such a joke..."

“I’m not kidding!”

Mr. Abu glared at the reporter, turned and walked to the side. The four iron-blooded bodyguards immediately parted the crowd and made way for him.

Looking at the back of the Russian, except for the Arsenal supporters, all the reporters were very happy, thinking that this was really a big news - "Chelsea chairman predicts that Allen can score 3 goals at the Millennium Stadium". What a big revelation, it will definitely attract a lot of fans' attention! !
