Chapter 389

In the prime location of Eton square in central London, Abramovich has a set of townhouses which were bought in 1999.

But he only owns two of them, which makes him very dissatisfied with his palace in London. Recently, he is busy contacting other seven landlords, hoping to buy the whole townhouse and transform it.

As for how much it costs, that's not what he cares about.

At this moment, he is sitting in the living room on the second floor of the mansion, pointing to a newspaper on the desk, glaring at his assistant, Marina granovsky, and the club president, Bruce Barker.

"I need an explanation. What's going on?"

The newspaper is from the times. On the front page of the newspaper, there is a picture of Chelsea dining together in the Chinese restaurant. The scene seems to be very happy. Both the main players and the substitutes get along very well.

What really angered the Russians was what was reported in the second edition.

"Why don't we have a Christmas party?" Abramovich snapped.

Since he landed in London, he has always been known for his extravagance and generosity in spending money. But now the media say that he did not hold a Christmas Carnival Party, and even cancelled his regular dinner, which made the head coach Gao Han have to pay for everyone's dinner, which made Abramovich feel shameless.

The authority of the times has been affirmed all over the world. Looking at the posture, not only the times but also the British media have published it. Now I'm afraid the whole world knows it.

"Roman, we have been busy dealing with the internal affairs of the management before. Many employees have left their jobs and many posts are still being recruited. There is some confusion inside, so we have ignored the routine Christmas Carnival Party." Bruce Barker quickly explained.

"We were reminded when it was almost time, but it was too late, and we were going to play the League on the 26th, so we decided after the management meeting that since it was too late to do it, we would postpone it. But the schedule in January was also very tight, we had the League, Carling Cup and FA Cup to play, so we planned to postpone it to March."

Chelsea are doing well on all fronts. There are three matches to play in January and one more UEFA Cup in February, so the schedule for January and February is really tight.

Abramovich now has some experience in running a team and understands the difficulties of the management.

"Have you discussed this matter with Gao Han?"

Bruce Barker and Marina granovsky looked at each other in silence.

Indeed, from the time they made the decision to the final plan, they excluded the cold and the coaching staff.

"Well, boss." "Gao Han has been very busy since he was in charge of the team. He is in charge of all the big and small things of the team. We think that the management can make their own decisions, so we don't disturb him any more," granovsky explained

Abramovich is such a smart man. Hearing this reason, he immediately looked deeply at his trusted assistant.

In a short period of more than ten seconds, the air in the huge living room seemed to condense, not to mention Bruce Barker and granovskia, who were the first to bear the brunt. Even pini Zahavi, who was sitting on one side and had nothing to do with himself, was thrilled.

In the end, it is the oligarch killed out of the cruel competition environment in Russia, who is not angry and arrogant!

"This is the end of the matter. You go to apologize to Gao Han, the coaching staff and all the members, and each of them will get a new Christmas present." Abramovich gave a light explanation, which could not be discussed, but in the end, he accentuated his tone.

"But... I don't want to have another one."

Bruce Barker and granovsky both nodded their heads with a jump.

"I understand."

"I see, boss."

Abramovich took back his fierce eyes, raised his head and closed his eyes.

Seeing him close his eyes, the three people sitting opposite him were so nervous that they didn't dare to go out. Until he breathed heavily, everyone was relieved.

They know that he's down.

Pini Zahavi looked at Abramovich, whose eyes were still closed, and then at Bruce Barker and granovskia. Both of them looked at him as if they were waiting for him to break the silence.

"Haha, actually, Roman, they were wronged in this matter."

"Wronged?" Abramovich did not open his eyes, but returned lazily.

"As far as I know, this Chinese restaurant is invested by alpine, and it's also a major shareholder. It's newly opened and its business is mediocre. In my opinion, alpine invites players to eat in the Chinese restaurant, and I'm afraid it also hopes to make use of the team's reputation to advertise for the restaurant. This kind of thing is quite common in European professional football."

Pini Zahavi pointed to the newspaper on the desk and said with a smile, "you see, there are a lot of introductions about the restaurant in the report. It looks like a soft article written by a reporter after receiving benefits, and the cold weather is not at a loss."

Abramovich listened, his eyes suddenly opened, staring at pini Zahavi.

Although the Israeli agent did not directly point out every word, all of them together gave him an impression.

The management was intentionally or unintentionally put together by the high cold!

From the perspective of the whole thing, the management did make mistakes, but according to pini Zahavi, the cold invited a meal, but it was more than one stone, fame and wealth, but all the black pot was carried away by the management.

Just imagine, when the whole thing spread, the media and fans would only praise the cold and scold the management.

Is this intentional? Or not?

Is alpine so dark?

Just as Abramovich thought to himself, granovskia opened his mouth.

"Boss, I've tried to ask Gao Han if he can arrange another top center in the team's lineup. It's up to him to choose. We can consider Shevchenko, Henry, Crespo, even van Nistelrooy, truie and Ronaldo and try our best to bring them in."

Abramovich nodded. "Well, what did he say?"

"He refused without thinking about it."

"Oh?" Abramovich frowned.

"He said Eto'o and Ibrahimovic won't lose to any of the stars above and he has confidence in them

Abramovich heard this, opened the Premier League page of the times in front of him, looked at the list of strikers and found that Eto'o had caught up with Henry and van Nistelrooy, and Ibrahimovich's goals were no less than Owen's.

It is not difficult to see that the cold vision of screening players is very accurate.

Pini Zahavi saw that Abramovich's brow was loosened, and he had the answer in his heart.

"Ibrahimovic and Eto'o are both introduced by the high cold force. The former is the center cultivated by Ajax, and the latter is the forward cultivated by Aragones for many years. Moreover, after coming to Chelsea, they have become the players under Mendes. It is normal for the high cold to use them easily."

Abramovich frowned, but said nothing.

"In fact, it's not very difficult to score three goals per game with the opportunities created by the Chelsea midfield. The reason why many games have been played so hard is that in the final analysis, the attack is weak. Even goodjohnson's scoring efficiency has been greatly improved compared with previous seasons, which is enough to confirm a rumor in the media circle."

"What's the rumor?" Abramovich asked with concern.

Pini Zahavi laughs, "it's just a joke."

"Tell me." The Russians are more curious.

"The media said that the first sentence is that, with the luxury of the Chelsea midfield, even if it is tied to a dog in the front line, you can get a goal." Pini Zahavi said with a smile.

Abramovich heard a smile, praise Chelsea is also like praising him, "what's the next sentence?"

"Next..." pini Zahavi hesitated.

"What? Say it Abramovich urged.

"The next sentence is that with the huge squad of Chelsea, even if it's a dog in the coach's seat, you can still win

As soon as pini Zahavi's voice dropped, everyone in the living room immediately looked at Abramovich.

At first the Russians showed a thoughtful look, but then they burst into laughter.

"That's really a fart!"

Three people also immediately followed to laugh.

After laughing, Abramovich got up from the sofa and said, "let's go to the cold Chinese restaurant for lunch today."

December 26, boxing day.

The Premier League finally ushered in the traditional Christmas devil schedule.

In just two days, there will be 18 and 19 rounds of league matches. In January, the Premier League teams will officially participate in the FA Cup, starting from the third round of elimination.

The schedule is so close that all teams dare not be careless.

Gao Han arranged rotation in the 18th round of the away game against Charlton, but the opening effect was not very good. He took the lead in losing a goal at the valley stadium, but soon, Chelsea pulled four goals in a row and finally beat Charlton 4-1.

Ibrahimovic scored twice, Eto'o and Ronaldinho scored one goal each.

In the 18th round, Manchester United beat Everton 3-2 at home and Arsenal beat wolves 3-0 at home.

Henry finally broke the goal shortage, staged two goals and raised his goal number to 14.

Two days later, Chelsea played Portsmouth at home.

Pompeii were very tenacious in the first half. They defended the Trident very closely. They didn't give any chance to the attacking players. They received the half-time break 0-0.

However, after Yi Bian played again in the second half, Chelsea adjusted the team's tactics. Bridge, Joe Cole and Ferreira scored goals one after another, and finally beat Portsmouth 3-0 at home.

Manchester United and Arsenal also have a goal away to beat Middlesbrough and Southampton.

So far, the top three of the Premier League have won two games in a row and successfully passed the Christmas schedule.

After 19 rounds of the Premier League and more than half of the premier league schedule, Chelsea continue to lead the table, followed by Manchester United and Arsenal. These three teams are far ahead of the other 17 teams in the Premier League by 13 points. Everyone is convinced that the team that finally wins the championship will be born from them.

And the most promising is undoubtedly Chelsea.

With a total victory of 19 rounds and a remarkable record of 57 points, the team is 11 points ahead of Manchester United, and Chelsea has won the half title of the Premier League.

And whether it is from the number of goals, or from the average possession rate and passing success rate, or even the average steals, Chelsea are well deserved to be the first in the Premier League, leading the other opponents by a considerable distance.

With the exaggeration of the media reporters, it makes all competitors despair.

But Ferguson and Arsene Wenger also said they would not give up, because just last season, United reversed the situation and won the championship when they were far behind Arsenal in the winter break.

Last season was a success, this season will not give up.

In the shooter list, shearer still leads with 15 goals, Henry takes second place with 14 goals, followed by van Nistelrooy with 13 goals, Eto'o and Saha with 12 goals, and Ibrahimovic with 10 goals.

Then there are Ronaldinho, Anelka and Owen.

In the top ten of the scorers list, Chelsea even hit three in one breath, which shocked the whole British media.

For a time, the call for Chelsea to win the championship is also rising.
