Chapter 577 Helping Manchester United

While Yang Huan was talking to Peter Kenyon at the Landmark Hotel, Marina Granovskia was also reporting intelligence to her boss in a mansion in West London.

"I just had a special chat with Ian Eyre after the meeting."

"Well, what did Ian Ayre say?" Abramovich asked with concern.

It's time for Chelsea's forward line to make adjustments!

Torres is a complete dud. Even after Benítez took over as coach, his form has improved to a certain extent, but he still cannot stand on his own. In addition, Mourinho has made it clear that Torres is not in his plans.

Demba Ba, who was introduced during the winter break, is obviously not worthy of the Blues' status as a top club and is destined not to be reused.

In this case, it is imperative to introduce a strong scorer!

Looking across Europe, how many scorers are there who are worthy of Chelsea's attention and have strong ability?

Under Mendes, there are Falcao who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, Cavani for Napoli, and Suarez for Liverpool.

These are the three players Chelsea is targeting, but the first two are very expensive and have great hidden dangers.

God knows if they can adapt to the Premier League?

Suarez, on the contrary, has no adaptability problems, and the player's technical characteristics and tactical adaptability are also quite perfect.

Therefore, Chelsea is determined to get Suarez!

But Marina Granovskia shook her head helplessly, "Ian Ayre's attitude is very tough, Liverpool will never sell Suarez to us!"

"Why?" Abramovich's eyelids jumped.

Ian Eyre's words really touched his sore spot!

What the general manager of Liverpool meant was that Suarez can be sold to anyone, but definitely not to Chelsea!

Marina Granovsky Asia Pacific understood her boss. She smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "When we tried to poach Torres during the winter break, Liverpool has always been upset about it. Plus, they tried to poach Gerrard before..."

Abramovich was at a loss now.

Even if the Russians are full of resentment now, is it possible for them to vent it?

From any team's perspective, who would be willing to let go of a team soul like Gerrard?

There are also players like Torres, who is Liverpool's pillar and a guarantee of goals. Before transferring to Chelsea, he had just scored twice. But on the last day of the winter break, he transferred to Chelsea.

This blockbuster transfer, which fans talked about with great relish, brought heavy losses to Liverpool.

Judging from the chain reaction, Carroll, who was introduced in a hurry, was not only expensive, but also completely unable to adapt to Liverpool's tactical system. In the end, the Reds had to suffer this loss.

Of course, Chelsea's introduction of Torres was ultimately not successful.

But from Liverpool's perspective, if Chelsea had not forced Torres to sign them, wouldn't this have happened?

Therefore, it is not surprising that Liverpool is unwilling to sell Suarez to Chelsea.

But who is Abramovich?

"Not selling?" The Russian snorted coldly, "We can use the termination clause, they have no say in that!"

Marina Granovskia immediately understood what her boss meant and started to dig the player out.

Anyway, as long as Chelsea is willing to pay Suarez's 40 million pounds buyout clause and the player nods, it will have little to do with Liverpool.

But in this way, Chelsea's image will definitely be further damaged!

But Granovsky Asia Pacific knows its boss.

These days, moral integrity is the most useless thing. How much is one pound? The more the better!

"By the way, Marina!" Abramovich seemed to remember something.

"Boss!" Granovskia quickly agreed.

"I just looked at the Premier League standings this season. Southampton is currently five points behind Manchester United!"

Granovskia had no idea what his boss was trying to say and could only nod.

"Yes, it is indeed five points behind."

"So what do you think about the future trend of the Premier League?" Abramovich asked.

Granovskia thought for a moment, "There are still four rounds left in the league, and a five-point gap is not completely impossible. In addition, Southampton has been winning one after another and Manchester United has been losing points in recent times. The situation may change."

Abramovich nodded calmly, "Does the Saint have a better chance of winning?"

The Russian woman shook her head. "Not necessarily. Southampton made it to the FA Cup final and the Europa League semi-finals. Fighting on multiple fronts means greater risks. If we're not careful, we could end up with nothing."

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, Manchester United is no pushover. After poor performance in the first few rounds, they have improved greatly in the last two rounds. Ferguson is experienced. As long as Manchester United does not make mistakes in the remaining four rounds of the league, Southampton will have no chance. Even if they win all of them, they can't win the championship!"

When Abramovich heard this, he couldn't help but smile and nodded.

I don’t know why, but the more he looked at Yang Huan, the more he disliked him.

He even didn't want to see Southampton win the Premier League.

Because that means that Yang Huan's Saints will create the club's history for more than a hundred years and usher in a brand new situation.

If one more team wins the championship, Chelsea will have one more powerful competitor.

"In the next round, Manchester United's opponent is Arsenal?"

"Yes!"

"Are you sure?"

Granovskia thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know. In the past five years, Manchester United's record at the Emirates Stadium is two wins, one draw and two losses. Even the Red Devils Manchester United, who swept across Europe that year, could not gain any advantage at the Emirates Stadium."

"But Arsenal's recent performance and strength are not satisfactory!" said Abramovich.

Granovskaia understood that it seemed that his boss wanted Manchester United to win.

The reason is, of course, that they hope Southampton ends up empty-handed!

“So, many people think that Manchester United is likely to get three points!”

Granovskia thought for a moment and said, "However, this game is the finale. Southampton's home game against West Bromwich Albion was held the day before, so..."

Now the points between the two teams are so close, and there are only four rounds left in the league, and every round is crucial.

Therefore, whoever strikes first and whoever lets go later, these all have advantages and pressures.

Previously, Manchester United's game was scheduled on Saturday and Southampton's on Sunday, but now it's the other way around.

Abramović nodded slightly and waved casually, "Marina!"

"Boss!" Granovskia immediately moved closer.

"I want to help Manchester United!"

As soon as Abramovich said this, Granovskia's eyes immediately showed a strange look.

What the boss meant by this is that in the 36th round of the league, Chelsea will give away points in their away game against Manchester United?

Not to mention that Manchester United is playing at home, Chelsea doesn't have much chance of winning when they challenge them away.

Besides, even if Chelsea loses, as long as they don’t lose too badly, who knows?

But what good will it do to Chelsea if it helps Manchester United?

The answer is, no!

On the contrary, there are many disadvantages!

"Boss, our current points situation is not optimistic. We are only two points ahead of Arsenal. If we lose the away game at Old Trafford, then the top four in the league..."

Granovskia said nothing, but the meaning was clear.

Chelsea is in an awkward situation now. The points gap between them and Manchester City is as high as five points, and the gap between them and Manchester United and Southampton is even bigger. There is no possibility of catching up.

But what about the future?

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are both eyeing the team covetously. If they lose points accidentally, these two London rivals may be able to make a successful counterattack and reach the top four of the league.

Especially at this final stage of the league, once you are kicked out of the top four, it will be difficult to get back into the top four!

But Abramovich shook his head after hearing this and said, "The specific result will be determined in the 35th round of the league!"

Abramovich's meaning is very clear. If Manchester United gets three points from Arsenal, Chelsea will give Manchester United a push.

Anyway, even though they lost the game, the Blues still have a points advantage over the Gunners.

But, in Granovskia's view, Abramovich's decision was risky.

The truth will not be exposed, but I am afraid that if I am not careful, Chelsea will lose to Manchester United. The Red Devils will win the championship, but Chelsea will lose points again in the last two rounds and eventually be kicked out of the top four of the league. That would be a big loss.

Participating in the Champions League can earn you tens of millions of pounds a year. Who would be willing to do that?

Looking at his boss again, he was obviously angry with Yang Huan from Southampton!

Isn’t it because the other team performed well and has a hope of winning the championship?

Why do you want to compete with him like this?

Is it necessary to even do such stupid things that harm yourself and benefit others?

You're using Chelsea's popularity to flirt with Manchester United's cold butt, and Ferguson won't be grateful to you, is it really that important?

Abramovich didn't seem willing to talk more about this matter, perhaps he himself found it difficult to talk about it.

But in his heart, no matter what, even if it means tampering or tripping others up, he must stop the Saints from winning the championship!

"Okay, that's it, I'll leave it to you!"

Granovskia was at a loss now. Could he go against his boss's wishes?

…………

…………

As the Premier League enters its final stage, especially the championship battle between Manchester United and Saints has become completely fierce, fans all over the world are paying attention to every move of these two teams.

When the 35th round of the Premier League kicked off, all the fans kept their eyes on the Saints.

At St. Mary's Stadium, Southampton first welcomed West Bromwich Albion, led by former Chelsea assistant coach Clark.

The Baggies are one of the most impressive teams in the Premier League this season. Some people even predicted that Clarke would be the strongest contender for Chelsea head coach next season, and he himself is full of expectations for it.

Therefore, Clark almost treated this battle as a life-and-death battle!

Southampton also has high hopes for this game.

Are you kidding? There are only four rounds left until the end of the league. Any round will be a final and we must win!

Therefore, Bielsa's team sent out all the main players, and the ace attacking lineup trident all started.

Just six minutes into the game, the Saints scored the first goal for Southampton with Gareth Bale assisting Neymar to score against the Baggies, which they took the lead and maintained until halftime.

But in the second half, Southampton's offensive continued, and with Neymar's wonderful assist in the 67th minute, Ibrahimovic broke through Foster's goal, making it 2-0!

This goal laid the foundation for the Saints' three-point victory!

But afterwards, Ibrahimovic assisted Gareth Bale to score again, making it three to zero!

The ace trident, one passing and one shooting, performed amazingly, and let everyone see Southampton's strength and determination to win the championship in the last four rounds!

Even Southampton head coach Bielsa said after the game that the team will win all the remaining games!

Southampton won!
