The Carabao Cup semi-final was a two-legged affair, so after Chelsea were levelled by Wycombe in the 77th minute, Jose rejected the unsolicited offer of Wang Ai and sent the eager youngster Sinclair onto the pitch.Due to the overhaul of the lineup and the unfamiliarity of the cooperation, the final score was locked at 1:1.When Wang Ai left the stadium, he was still thinking, this is probably Jose demonstrating to the board of directors with practical actions: You asked me to use the youngsters, okay, I used them, one played for an hour, the other played for 15 minutes, and you saw it?
Wang Ai did nothing but ask Xu Qinglian to go shopping with Mathilde after the race.However, Wang Ai's small gesture obviously could not calm Jose's accumulated anger, and he asked the board of directors again after the game to buy him, perhaps the reality that the young players are not useful to offset the Dutchman's slander, and the board said that it would seriously consider it.However, the board's real response was tinged with a bit of British black humor: it was ready to hire Portsmouth's technical director, Avram Grant, an Israeli who spoke Russian and could help Sheva get back into shape......
The board of directors also said: this is called revitalizing stock assets!
Activating a sheva is equivalent to spending 4,000 euros on a new purchase!
Jose is not opposed to the board helping Sheva, but he does not want a striker, but a central defender.Especially the price for the board of directors to hire Grant as his assistant was: to demand the dismissal of his close assistant Clark!
In fact, despite Jose's good words about Sheva in the summer, Chelsea don't need Sheva.The rotation of Drogba + Crespo is enough to solve the problem, not to mention the powerful attacking combination of Frank Lampard + Wang Ai behind them.Sheva's arrival did not help José's tactical vision, but he showed his support out of respect for his boss, or force majeure.But what he really wants has always been a full-back and a centre-back, and strengthening the defence is also in line with his footballing aesthetic.However, Sheva's arrival is very important for the club, his commercial value can be compared to Drogba + Crespo, his style of play and even he personally is the basis of Mr.
Roman's "from victory to elegance" Chelsea's second phase strategic goal, west London is full of rich people, only elegant style of play can win their appreciation.Around the use of Sheva, the contradictions between José and Mr.
Roman gradually became irreconcilable.In the winter when he was injured in this special case and urgently needed reinforcements from the central defenders, this contradiction suddenly intensified.If the previous conflict about Sheva was only a conflict in Chelsea's tactical adjustments, then at this stage, the conflict around Sheva has become his transfer fee of up to 46 million euros.Jose's idea is: With these 46 million, you can buy three central defenders!
Say that there is no money in winter, if you didn't buy Sheva, how could you have no money?
Squeezing out the scheduled transfer fee and buying such a useless person is completely your tactical mistake and your disrespect for the opinion of me, a professional who builds Chelsea's tactical system!
In other words: you are obstinate, you are doing whatever you want, and you are responsible for the current team's poor performance!
The board of directors could certainly understand José's meaning, and objectively speaking, it was not that none of them regretted buying Sheva.However, the part-time worker wants to make the boss bow his head......
What do you think?
Of all the tycoons who rose from the color revolution in a socialist country, who did not have the blood and tears of the proletariat on their hands?
José has an annual salary of 7.5 million euros, that's also the proletariat!
Instead of admitting his mistake, Mr.
Roman blames José for not using Sheva well.The same person, who was a Ukrainian nuclear warhead last season, is "Mr. 67 minutes" this season, what's the problem?
I spent so much money to buy you people, and you blame me for buying it wrong?
Ok, good, good!
I think your assistant didn't help Sheva well, so I'm going to fire your assistant and replace it with an active Sheva who understands Russian!
I don't believe that Slavs can't play football well, I tm......
Long live the Slavs!
Mr.
Roman, who had lost his temper, was still angry and puffed up his anger, although he still did not openly curse the street like ordinary Russians.In the four days between the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final on 9 January and the 23rd round of the Premier League on 13 January, the interaction between Chelsea's factions was dazzling.José wants to buy people; The Board of Directors agreed; Subsequently, the board of directors decided to "buy" the assistant coach; Jose......
Jose issued an ultimatum to the board: either buy me players or fire me!
Jose has signed a five-year contract with the club, and if the club is dismissed early, Jose will pay £36 million in liquidated damages!
Jose's agent is the well-known Portuguese agent Mendes, and this guy will squeeze the crown to the limit!
At one time, he tried to be Wang Ai's agent, but Wang Ai politely declined.Because although this guy partially controls the European transfer market, he also has a large number of strongmen under his command, and he also earns a lot of money, but the relationship between him and various big clubs is very bad.Wang Ai, a Chinese under him, will become a typical example of "mercenary" in football, Jose is not afraid, Ronaldo is not afraid, Wang Ai is afraid!
After Jose issued the ultimatum, the news of his departure spread all over the world, which also caused a series of shocks inside and outside the team.Externally, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger spoke at the same time, expressing their approval of Jose; Internally, led by Terry, Drogba has publicly spoken to keep José, and Terry even said: I will hate the people who drove him away!
Terry even went so far as to ask for a collective signature to express his opinion to the board.Such a stirring of the board of directors frightened them, and they probably didn't expect Jose to be so popular.It is inconceivable that his two old rivals, Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, who have had several verbal battles with him, stood up to pay their respects, and the backlash of his own Academy product John Terry and the resistance of great Didier Drogba were unexpected, and more seriously, Frank Lampard, who received 300 appearances in the FA Cup, turned down the club's offer to renew his contract, even though the club offered a £121,000-a-week salary.It is said that Real Madrid's Calderón is preparing to bring Jose to the Bernabeu with him, although he is still not involved in the recent ups and downs of the club like Wang Ai, but his refusal to renew his contract is the strongest statement in itself!
Mr.
Roman backed down, instructing the board to reverse the decision to fire Clark and instead agree to find new foreign help.As a result, Chelsea survived the biggest crisis since he took over, and was able to welcome the 23rd round of Premier League matches relatively smoothly.However, his relationship with José has deteriorated beyond salvage.It's not the liquidated damages that constrain José's departure, it's the time.Mr.
Roman has learned a new lesson when he stepped into football: if you want to fire a respected manager, you can't rush, you have to take your time.()
