Chapter 998 Don’t come in again!
Abramovich sat in the stands of Stamford Bridge, watching his team being slaughtered in silence.
Yes, it was a massacre!
After scoring the opening goal, the Saints seemed to have no desire to stop attacking.
Especially for Messi on the right, Chelsea's defensive system was completely useless to him.
He broke through Chelsea's defense time and time again and provided his teammates with wonderful assists time and time again.
The first three goals of the game all came from Messi's assists.
The third goal occurred in the 37th minute of the first half, with Messi assisting Hazard to score.
Then in the 42nd minute, Messi got the ball on the right and attracted the attention of the defensive players. Fabregas suddenly moved to the left, and Hazard assisted Di Maria and scored a goal.
Conceding four goals in the first half was definitely a disaster for Chelsea.
The more terrifying nightmare is that this disaster has not ended yet and is still continuing.
After the kick-off of the second half, the Saints launched a fierce attack and in the 56th minute, they broke Chelsea's goal again. This time the attacker was Toni Kroos.
Abramovich was watching with great excitement in the stands, because it was he who paid for the German midfielder to be poached by the Saints from Bayern Munich. But now, this heartless guy is rubbing salt into Chelsea's bloody wound and celebrating wildly after scoring a goal.
That's too much, isn't it?
In the game, the Saints continued their excellent performance and amazing competitive form in the past few games, and Messi's joining gave the Saints great threat and lethality in the frontcourt.
He and Hazard's dribbling on both sides of the field is a nightmare for almost all defensive players.
It is impossible to defend against one-on-one, two-on-one, and even three-on-one in many cases, we have to use them to limit these two players.
But when these two stars were restricted, Suarez exploded.
In this game, the Saints players missed at least three great scoring opportunities.
The reason for this is not because the Saints' players are not capable of scoring, but because they want to help Messi score goals.
If he hadn't intentionally helped Messi score a goal, the score would probably have been seven or eight.
In the words of the Sky TV commentator, Chelsea's greatest defensive achievement in this game was preventing Messi from scoring!
There was still half an hour left, the game was still going on, and the nightmare was not over yet. Abramovich was watching in fear in the stands. He even thought, how nice it would be if this was just a dream?
The dream is over and everything is over.
But this is the fucking reality!
Abramovich looked at the home team's coaching seat next to the player's tunnel. Mourinho had been sitting in the coaching seat almost from the start of the game to now, except for returning to the locker room during the half-time break.
It seemed that he himself felt that there was no need for on-the-spot command anymore.
This made Abramovich annoyed. As the head coach, shouldn't he do something at this time?
"Marina!" Abramovich shouted in a deep voice.
Granovskia, who was sitting next to him, came over and said, "Boss."
"Let him go!" Abramovich said with a gloomy face.
Granovskia frowned, "Boss, at this time?"
"Yes, fire him now!" Abramovich repeated heavily.
At this point, Granovskia realized that his boss was determined this time.
"Then how do we deal with the termination compensation?" asked Granovskia.
Abramovich glanced at the home team's coaching bench, and suddenly an indescribable disgust surged up from his heart.
These guys, whether they are the head coach or the players, all say that they love the club and the team, but when the time comes, everyone becomes so damn snobbish.
If you really love the team, just resign voluntarily if you have the guts!
"You go talk to him and Mendes and tell them that we will pay them one year's salary at most. If they are not satisfied and want more, then we will sue them. I don't mind making the team doctor incident a bigger fuss!"
Granovskaia understood that what his boss meant was that no matter how bad Chelsea's situation was, it was as bad as it was now.
According to the market situation in European football, if both parties negotiate amicably to fire a head coach, it can be a good parting, usually with a season's salary.
However, if the club unilaterally fires the head coach, it will have to pay the contract termination fee.
However, this termination fee is not paid in full immediately, but will be paid in installments within the contract period as agreed upon by both parties. However, during this period, the head coach is not allowed to engage in coaching work.
In other words, if the club pays the buyout fee, it means that the club will keep the head coach for the remaining years of the contract until the head coach returns to his post.
Therefore, generally speaking, first-line head coaches are not willing to accept the latter option. They will try their best to obtain a more generous compensation based on the former approach.
Chelsea did not fire Mourinho before because he and his agent Mendes had some requests in this regard.
Now, the boss has said that he will only give one year, otherwise he will sue.
Mourinho's handling of the female team doctor issue clearly violated the club's regulations. If Chelsea uses this as an excuse, it is still unknown who will win or lose, but it is conceivable that neither side will end up well.
If Mourinho wants to continue coaching and maintain his image in the future, he should accept Chelsea's request.
"Boss, after that..." Granovskia asked.
Firing Mourinho now seems to be a matter of course, but the key question is, what happens after the firing?
Abramovich sighed in frustration. He had to admit that it would be difficult for Chelsea to hire a top-notch coach, let alone a first-tier coach.
Over the past few years, Chelsea's image in European football, especially in the European coaching circle, is really not very good. The main reason is that the club is indeed too careless in handling the relationship with the head coach.
For example, when Ancelotti and Villas-Boas came to coach and promote continental reforms, these were all unanimously agreed upon, and even instructed and supported by Abramovich and the management. However, when problems arose, the club immediately shirked responsibility and pushed the head coach to take the blame, which made the coaches in European football feel disheartened.
Therefore, when Abramovich tried every means to invite Guardiola to coach Chelsea, the Spaniard rejected it sternly.
At this moment, Abramovich couldn't help but feel helpless again.
Because he found that after firing Mourinho, he really didn't know who else to invite.
"Huss has been unemployed recently. I will call him and ask him to help put out the fire." Abramovich said helplessly.
The Huss he mentioned is the famous Dutch coach Huss Hiddink, who has a very good relationship with Abramovich. Therefore, he was able to serve as the interim head coach of Chelsea while becoming the head coach of the Russian national team.
Granovskia had no choice but to think that this was the only solution.
Just when the two of them had agreed on the matter, there was a sudden uproar in the stadium.
This made the two people in the stands' eyelids jump. They stood up from their seats and looked down.
I just happened to see Southampton intercept the ball in the backcourt and quickly launch a counterattack.
Danilo passed the ball to Fabregas, and the Spanish midfielder made a lob pass without stopping the ball.
The ball fell behind Chelsea's defense line. Messi quickly chased after it and got the ball before Baba Rahman. He made an abrupt stop and Baba Rahman jumped too hard and went too far.
Messi is very flexible and he immediately changes direction and cuts inside after an abrupt stop.
Although Baba Rahman reacted quickly and followed up quickly, and Terry immediately rushed forward, Messi still got a chance to kick the ball with his left foot and pushed it to the lower left corner of the goal.
The ball went in a straight line to the lower left corner, and goalkeeper Begovic was powerless to do anything.
But at the critical moment, there was a bang, and the pillar worked!
Messi grabbed his head hard on the court, looking very regretful because he was too focused on the angle.
If I had moved it a little bit further inside, I would have the ball!
Abramovich and Granovskaia both breathed a sigh of relief. The score was already 5-0, so they must not score any more goals!
But after the game resumed, the Saints' offensive continued.
When retreating from the frontcourt to defend, Suarez stole the ball from Rakitic's feet, turned around and quickly passed it to Messi.
The Argentine occupied the middle and was immediately blocked by Mikel after getting the ball. He had no choice but to turn around and protect the ball.
But Chelsea's defense was well organized this time. As soon as Messi turned around to protect the ball, Mikel and Ranocchia immediately came up.
But how easy is it to steal the ball from Messi's feet?
The Argentine was very skilled and bold. He dribbled the ball expertly with his feet, made a 360-degree turn similar to Xavi, and quickly got rid of Mikel and Ranocchia, rushing forward with the ball.
Terry rushed forward to stop Messi, but the Argentine quickly passed the ball to the left.
Hazard had already quickly moved forward along the left and finally received the pass from Messi in the penalty area, but at this time, Ivanovic had already returned to defense and the two formed a one-on-one situation on the left side of the penalty area.
The Belgian paused after receiving the ball, and Ivanovic immediately pounced on him, but Hazard suddenly started, trying to use his own speed to get rid of Ivanovic.
But Ivanovic was no pushover either. He immediately started to try to stop Hazard.
The terrible thing was that just as Ivanovic started, he saw Hazard suddenly dribble the ball. It turned out that it was just a feint by Hazard.
Damn, it's too realistic, isn't it?
I have to say that Ivanovich was really hardworking. As soon as he realized he had been tricked, he slammed on the brakes, turned around and kept chasing again.
But in this short second, Hazard did not adjust the ball and just made a low pass.
The ball came to the front of the small penalty area.
Messi, who had just rushed to the front of the penalty area, was lying in ambush here. Without waiting for the ball to land, he supported the ground with his right foot and volleyed the ball with his left foot.
The shot was simple and fast, and it hit the right side of the goal directly.
Begovic, who was standing on the left, could only watch helplessly as the ball went into the net.
Six to zero!
Begovic was stunned!
All Chelsea players were stunned!
They could never have imagined that they would encounter such a massacre at Stamford Bridge!
Messi finally scored a goal!
After the excited Argentine superstar completed the shot, it seemed as if he had already known that there was a chance or he was going to chase and wait for an opportunity for a follow-up shot. In short, he rushed towards the goal quickly. The moment the whistle sounded, he grabbed the ball in the goal, turned around and rushed out of the court.
This is his first goal in the Premier League!
This is also a goal worth remembering!
