Chapter 683 - Win first and then poach


"Ravel Morrison, who came on as a substitute, was very active and wanted to make a personal breakthrough on the left.

Ivanovic had no choice but to foul, giving Southampton a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt."

"The time has entered stoppage time.

The score is now 4-0.

Southampton is already guaranteed to win."

"The free kick was taken by Suarez.

The Uruguayan striker performed very well in this game and scored a goal."

"The other three goals came from his teammates, Kaká, Sturridge and Hazard.

Among them, Hazard scored the most beautiful goal.

After passing three Chelsea defenders on the left baseline, he fell to the ground.

The forward shot scored, which was quite exciting.”

"We can see that Chelsea's penalty area is already filled with all the tall players from Southampton."

"Drogba, Matic, Nastasic and Varane all came up."

"This is Drogba, the former Chelsea center forward who was ousted by Roman Abramovich three years ago and forced to join Southampton in the Championship.

Since then, every time he has returned to Stamford Bridge , will definitely be able to score goals.”

"We could hear his shouts, very lively and the goal was strong."

"It depends on how Suarez takes the penalty this time."

In the chairman's stand at Stamford Bridge, Abramovich was also very nervous.

It is not that Chelsea has not lost this season, such as losing to Everton 0-2, losing to Newcastle 0-2, losing to Sunderland 0-3, and losing to Stoke City 0-3, but that All on the road.

Chelsea remain unbeaten this season at Stamford Bridge This is what Mourinho is most proud of.

He has never been defeated at Stamford Bridge.

But now, this game has obviously been lost, and it will be a complete defeat.

Bielsa and Southampton used such a disastrous defeat to tell Mourinho that today's Premier League, with a hundred flowers blooming and a crowd of heroes vying for the throne, is no longer the Premier League when he left.

At the same time, it is also a lesson to Abramovich.

With Chelsea's current set of old and weak soldiers, if they want to compete in the Premier League, just dream.

It's not that Abramovich hasn't thought about this before, but he still has luck with Mourinho.

But now, being so humiliated by Southampton at home has once again revealed this bloody scar.

With the referee's crisp whistle, Suarez quickly ran towards the ball.

There was a bang, the ball was thrown out, and everyone in the audience held their breath.

Abramovich couldn't help but stand up, and kept thinking in his heart, God bless The penalty area was a mess, and everyone was entangled with each other.

But at the moment when the ball was about to fall, suddenly a red figure came out of the crowd and leaped high, like a head from the African grasslands.

The giant elephant raised its long trunk heavily, faced the ball, and slammed it down.

The ball bounced off the bottom, past Cech's hands and into the Chelsea goal. five to zero The moment Drogba scored, Abramovich seemed to have been drained of all his energy.

He sat back in his seat dejectedly and looked dejectedly at Drogba who was celebrating crazily on the court.

The Ivorian arrogantly rushed to the bottom of the chairman's stand and celebrated in front of himself in the stand.

In Abramovich's view, this seemed like a slap in the face.

He repeated this celebration for every goal he scored against Chelsea.

Drogba seemed to have become a revenge demon who only defeated Chelsea.

Oh, by the way, there's Sturridge, who has also scored in the last few games against Chelsea.

There are also Matic and Oscar.

When they encountered Chelsea, they performed as if they were beaten to death.

This made Abramovich feel very depressed and annoyed.

He even couldn't help but doubt himself for the first time in his heart and asked himself, "Marina, could it be that I did something wrong?"

Sitting next to Abramovich was his close confidant, Marina Granovsky, the CEO of Chelsea.

At this time, she also looked embarrassed and worried, for fear of being reprimanded by her boss.

After listening to Abramovich's words, she also felt a little worried.

"Boss, actually, it's hard to say this kind of thing.

Not every player who leaves Chelsea performs well."

After a pause, Granovskia added: "Besides, whether to transfer or stay, many times the hiring factor of the head coach is bigger.

Players come and go.

This is quite normal in professional football.

If If this is really the case, then teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United will regret it to death."

After hearing what Granovskya said, Abramovich felt better.

It makes sense.

After all, Chelsea was undergoing youth reforms in those years, and it was normal for Drogba to leave the team.

As for Sturridge and Matic, when they left Chelsea, who knew they would perform like they do today?

The only regret is Oscar, but this player leaked the secrets of the locker room.

Isn't it normal to leave the team?

Thinking of this, Abramovich felt much better.

But when he looked up at the red scoreboard at Stamford Bridge, the score was 5-0, he became clouded again.

"Let's go" Abramovich stood up feeling frustrated, took another look at the restarted game in the stadium, and walked to the exit of the chairman's stand without looking back.

Granovskia also quickly stood up, followed behind the boss, and left the chairman's stand.

The Chairman's Stand at Stamford Bridge has a passage leading directly to Chelsea's administrative offices.

After Abramovich passed through the passage, he went straight to his office.

His face was gloomy all the way.

All the employees looked at him and only dared to say hello from a distance, but no one dared to come close.

Granovsky followed him step by step and entered the office.

As soon as he sat down, the Russian sighed deeply.

"Marina, with this current lineup, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on."

Obviously, this 0-5 game forced Abramovich to face the current situation of the team.

Granovskia also nodded, "Yes, during our summer transfer, we spent so much energy on the center transfer that we missed out on signings in several other positions."

Who says it's not?

It was Suarez first, but the Uruguayan forward confirmed his move to Southampton early.

Later, he fell in love with Cavani, but Cavani was intercepted by Tottenham Hotspur, the London rival.

Later, Chelsea targeted Dortmund, but unexpectedly, even if Chelsea offered a high price and were willing to use De Bruyne as a bargaining chip in exchange, Dortmund still refused to let Lewandowski go.

In the end, after going around in the transfer market, it returned to Mandzukic, and even got ripped off by Atletico Madrid.

It’s depressing to think about it.

"What is the current financial situation of the team?"

Abramovich asked again.

Of course Granovskia understood what the boss meant, but she still considered it, "I'm afraid we won't be able to spare more funds to operate the transfer."

"Why?"

Abramovich was a little surprised.

"Our current liabilities are over £1.2 billion."

Abramovich was not too surprised by this number and seemed very calm.

Because he himself is Chelsea's biggest creditor "The team's current revenue last season was about 260 million pounds, but this year, it is likely to be reduced to less than 200 million pounds, or even around 180 million pounds, because we have lost the European competition."

Without European competitions, commercial revenue has been reduced, and ticket and match-day revenue has also been reduced.

Plus the most important TV broadcast revenue, all added up, tens of millions of pounds are not lost.

"However, our wage bill this season will exceed £250 million, ranking first in the Premier League."

If Abramovich was calm just now, now he is freezing.

"Why" "We sold away players such as Oscar, Adam Lallana and Romeu, and the salary was not high.

Added together, it is not as good as Mandzukic, but we also introduced other players such as Schürrle, so" "It can't be higher than Manchester City."

Abramovich was puzzled.

"You forget, there are also the salaries of Drogba, Matic, Sturridge and Toni Kroos" Hearing this, Abramovich immediately wanted to curse.

It was only then that he remembered that he had been raising these players for that bastard Yang Huan.

"With the combined salaries of these players, we have to spend almost 40 million euros more on high wages a year."

When Abramovich heard this, he couldn't help but want to curse the word starting with f.

The salaries of Matic and Sturridge are not high, but Drogba's annual salary is as high as 12 million euros, and it is after tax.

In other words, if Chelsea only supports Drogba, Chelsea will have to Paid almost twenty-five million euros.

There is also Toni Kroos.

When Southampton wanted to introduce him, they spent 60 million pounds, but the annual salary was not cheap.

In this case, an extra 40 million euros is not outrageous.

"Damn it, it's been two or three years.

Southampton has performed so well, but Yang Huan won't give them a salary increase or renew the contract."

Abramovich was a little annoyed.

Is Yang Huan really so stingy?

But then I thought about it, since there is an enemy who is asking for money and salary for the team, how could Yang Huan be so stupid as to renew the player's contract and increase his salary?

Even if there is to be an increase, it will definitely be done in other ways, such as bonuses, to complete the salary increase for players.

Granovskia shook his head, "No, boss, Mendes told me that Yang Huan registered a company in Monaco, and many Southampton players' salaries and bonuses were transferred through I don’t know how much tax this company has helped him avoid.”

"And although he didn't give players salary increases or contract renewals, he gave bonuses quite generously."

When Abramovich heard this, he almost burst into flames and cursed her.

This is to avoid taxes through operations.

This is what any club will do, but Monaco is a tax-free zone.

It is an advantage to operate through companies here.

No wonder Yang Huan wanted to acquire Monaco Besides, the bonus is generous, of course.

Damn it, I help you raise your players.

You don’t have to spend a penny.

How can you not be generous?

"With the current situation of our team, we will lose at least another nearly 100 million pounds this season, so" Granovskia's meaning is already quite obvious.

With Chelsea's current debt situation, I am afraid it is really not suitable for large-scale signings, even if Abramovich is willing to invest more funds to operate.

The reason is simple.

The more Abramovich invests, the higher the team's debt will be.

"That bastard seems to be planning to keep Drogba," Abramovich cursed angrily.

For Southampton, retaining Drogba is just taking up a first-team spot.

But Chelsea has to spend more than 20 million pounds a year.

Can you not feel distressed?

"Boss, maybe we should talk to him."

Granovskya suggested.

"Talk" Abramovich's face darkened.

He knew very well what Yang Huan was like.

This bastard was a ruthless person who could pluck out feathers.

If he took the initiative to talk to him, he would get some good results.

"The sooner this burden is thrown away, the better."

Granovskya sees this very clearly.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of choosing between long-term pain and short-term pain.

Abramovich is not a fool, and he knows very well how to make this plan, but he really wants to talk to Yang Huan Just as he was hesitating, there was a knock on the office door.

I heard the secretary push open the door and come in, "Boss, Mr.

Yang Huan, the boss of Southampton, is here."

"He" Abramovich glanced at Granovskya, who shook his head and said that he did not date Yang Huan.

"What is he here for?"

You really can't talk to people during the day, just say Cao Cao and Cao Cao is here.

"He said he came to poach people."

When Abramovich heard this, he couldn't sit still.

"Come here to poach someone.

Damn it.

He just beat us five to zero on the court.

Come back and poach my man."

How can you swallow this tone of winning first and then poaching people?

It's really unbearable for my uncle and aunt.

If the tiger doesn't show off its power, you think I'm a sick cat:
