Chapter 328 Another gamble?

"Pogba takes the ball, passes it to Isco..."

"Isco had his back to Lampard's defence and was forced to knock it back..."

"Matic received the ball and raised his hand to signal his teammates to keep their composure..."

"Suddenly, a lob pass with the left foot went to the left."

"Nice, Neymar, you stop the ball very well, dribble past Ivanovic, cut inside, and pass into the penalty area"

"Drogba, Drogba, come on, grab the point"

"Oh my... Terry has done a great job."

The more than 40,000 people gathered at Stamford Bridge all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at the same moment.

"Corner kick, Southampton gets a corner kick opportunity"

"Isco ran to the corner area, it seems that he will take the penalty kick"

"Southampton didn't send out all their main players in this game, but the young players in the team performed very well and were eye-catching. They suppressed Chelsea from the beginning."

"Drogba was shouting something at Isco and his teammates, apparently planning a corner kick."

"He has a lot of experience in this area, and even if he faces Terry, he has the advantage of the high ground."

"Let's see how Southampton will take this corner kick"

"Isco takes a corner kick, Drogba goes to the front post, heads the ball, and it's dangerous."

There was a cry of surprise from the entire Stamford Bridge, followed by a sigh.

"At the crucial moment, Cech made a world-class save, holding back Sturridge's shot."

On the big screen in the stadium, Sturridge was squatting in the penalty area, holding his head, with an expression of regret that almost made him want to commit suicide.

How come his shot was so close to the goal that it went into Cech's arms?

This is a once-in-a-lifetime scoring opportunity.

He waited for so long and finally came to Chelsea. Although it was just an FA Cup game, he still put all his effort into proving his strength against Chelsea.

But who could have thought that when the opportunity came, his poor shooting skills would cause him to miss it.

"What a pity, Southampton got a very good chance, but young player Sturridge's long shot made Southampton miss the great opportunity to score and take the lead."

"However, whether from the situation on the field or from the game data, Southampton has clearly surpassed Chelsea. Boas' team has never been able to pose a threat to Southampton. If they cannot effectively reverse the situation, it is only a matter of time before they are scored."

"Haha, if you just look at the game scene, I'm afraid everyone will mistakenly think that Southampton is the Premier League giants, and Chelsea is the Championship team. The roles of the two teams are completely reversed."

"We can only say that the Saints are too powerful"

Southampton launched wave after wave of attacks since the opening.

But Chelsea's defense is not to be underestimated. The Blues have always been known for their defense and tenacity.

It won't be easy for Southampton to succeed in the short term.

However, being suppressed by a Championship team at home was such an embarrassing thing that made Abramovich look very embarrassed, especially when he turned his head and glanced at Yang Huan who was two or three seats away. The latter's smiling face immediately made him furious.

Damn it, you came to my territory and are still so arrogant and proud, you are really good

"Marina" Abramović raised her hand.

Marina Granovskia, who was sitting behind him, immediately leaned over and said, "Boss."

"Tell Villas-Boas that if he loses this game, he won't have to come to Cobham again."

Marina Granovskia was full of surprise. Are they going to fire the head coach again?

"Boss, this..."

"Go!" Abramovich stopped her from continuing. He had long been dissatisfied with Boas.

Marina Granovskaia knew the boss' temper and did not dare to persuade him any further. She could only nod and agree, left the chairman's stand, and went downstairs to convey the boss's instructions to Boas.

"Why are you doing this?" Abramovich's girlfriend, Daria Zhukova, who was sitting next to him, advised.

This is a very smart woman, known as Russia's number one socialite.

Her fame is not only because she has a father who is a wealthy arms dealer, but also because she is the ex-girlfriend of many celebrities, the most famous of whom is tennis superstar Safin.

Abramović couldn't get even a little angry with her.

But this time, there was still a hint of indignation in his tone.

"I can lose to anyone, but I can't lose to that bastard Yang Huan."

Daria Zhukova was puzzled. Who was this Yang Huan?

How could it make Abramovich so angry?

Following Abramovich's gaze, Daria Zhukova recognized Yang Huan at a glance.

Among the Europeans, the Chinese with black hair and yellow skin are particularly conspicuous.

What surprised Daria Zhukova even more was that next to the handsome boy Yang Huan, there was a stunningly beautiful woman. Even though she usually prided herself on her beauty, she couldn't help but feel ashamed when she saw this woman.

"Hi, Roman." Yang Huan didn't even glance at Daria Zhukova from beginning to end.

He has absolutely no interest in women who are older and have a whole company of ex-boyfriends.

Abramovich cursed in his heart, don’t call me Roman, do you think I know you well?

But he still nodded calmly, "Hello, Mr. Yang Huan"

There are so many people present. If someone greets you actively and you don't respond, you are a **

"Well, come to think of it, Matic's performance today was really good. He was the defensive midfielder and made people feel relieved."

Yang Huan said with a faint smile, and then added, "What do you think, Roman?"

Abramovich was so angry.

A very serious problem for Chelsea now is the defensive midfielder. Mikel has mixed reputation and there are almost no players in the defensive midfielder position.

He originally sent Matic to Southampton for free. As a result, in some cup matches and rotation games this season, the Serbian midfielder switched to play as a defensive midfielder, but performed very well and very steadily.

Now, when Bielsa plays offensive football, he will use Toni Kroos, and when he wants to play it safe, he will use Matic.

Sometimes two of them even played at the same time, plus Strootman, Isco, or Vidal, Southampton almost swept the entire Championship and various cup competitions, winning every game with an unstoppable momentum.

Therefore, the media all said that the most unprofitable deal Chelsea made was sending Matic to Southampton.

Some media even said that if Chelsea wanted to make some progress in the second half of the season, they would buy Matic back.

But could Abramovich do such a self-contradictory thing?

"Sturridge is also very good. It's a pity that the ball just now didn't go in. I have to let him practice shooting more. This kid has a bright future." Yang Huan was full of praise for Sturridge, who played as a right winger in this game.

"Who said it wasn't?" An English Football Association official sitting between the two said with a smile.

"I think this kid will definitely become our England's top striker in the future. What he lacks now is experience and polishing of details. With time, he will definitely complete the transformation."

Abramovich was filled with hatred.

Knowing that I suffered a huge loss at the beginning, could you please not brag about it in front of me?

Isn't this just pointing at a monk and calling him bald?

You are so outrageous and have no manners. You actually did such a thing as exposing someone's scars. Do you still have any shame?

But he had no other options and could only feel so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Because Yang Huan didn't say anything at all, he just praised his players.

Is it possible that it is a crime to praise your own players these days?

"Drogba was in good form in this game. He asked to play before the game. I think he should be able to score a goal."

When Abramovich heard this, his eyes widened and he got angry.

"fart"

At this moment, several people around him all looked at him.

Let's discuss it properly. If you have something to say, say it. Why are you swearing? Do you still have gentlemanly manners?

Also, who are you talking about?

Abramovich's face turned red and he was speechless.

"I mean, Drogba, don't even think about scoring a goal, there's no way"

Yang Huan was delighted. "How about we make another bet?"

Abramovich groaned in his heart. He already suffered from a phobia of gambling, so how could he dare to bet?

"If it really doesn't work, how about we bet a smaller amount?" Yang Huan had an expression that said, "I'm accommodating you."

Abramovich still doesn't dare to accept the challenge. Who made Chelsea so passive?

"Or should I give you a ball?"

Abramovich is really scared

When I made a bet with this guy, not only did I lose Matic and Sturridge, I also lost Drogba.

What is even more frightening is that this guy actually spent 60 million pounds to bring in a Toni Kroos, not including the player's salary.

My goodness, this is not just a waste of money, this is throwing money into the English Channel

I'm an oil miner, but I can't squander like you

"Hey, Roman, we Chinese have a saying that goes, if you gamble, you may not lose. Why don't you have the courage to do so?"

The eyes of the people around looked at Abramovich, and suddenly became a little disappointed.

Yes, they have invited you to your home, but you still don’t dare. It’s not worthy of your status.

Only Abramovich secretly groaned in his heart.

Damn it, you don't know how scary this guy is. If you want to gamble, you can gamble with him. I don't want to play anymore.

Yang Huan turned around with a regretful expression.

Zhuang Ziqing rolled her eyes at him in displeasure, her watery eyes seemed to be saying, look how proud you are!

Yang Huan was thick-skinned and went up to him with a smile, hey, aren't we playing the role of a responsible prodigal son?

A blond young man about 10** sitting further away gave Yang Huan a thumbs up with an admiring look on his face.

Boss, you are awesome

You are the only one in London who can make Abramovich like this.

Let's see if this Russian upstart dares to continue to show off in the future

Abramovich saw everything and kept swearing in his heart.

You keep being awesome, you keep being arrogant, but there will be a day when you will cry

You see, I will not only taunt you harshly, but also trample you to death.

Damn it, I've never been humiliated like this in my life. Just wait and see.

Boas, Boas, if you dare not win, I will make you go away

As if receiving instructions from Abramovich in the stands, Villas-Boas in the home team's coaching booth walked to the sidelines and shouted and waved at the players on the field.

His on-the-spot command immediately improved Chelsea's situation.

The Blues players began to hold the ball more often, began to plan attacks effectively, and began to press forward actively.

Southampton was unable to break through the defense for a long time and their morale seemed to have been frustrated. After seeing Chelsea turn the situation around and actively press forward, they retreated.

This immediately boosted the morale of Chelsea players.

But an interesting phenomenon is that the fans in the stands of Stamford Bridge did not seem to be very active. They did not cheer for the home team's players as usual, but seemed a little indifferent.

Even the fans in the Matthew Harding Stand in the North Stand, who are known as die-hard fans, are like this.

This is puzzling.

But some people are still looking for opportunities.
