Red Rebels

65 Copy Red Rebel

The 6th round of the UK was a round with many upsets.

First, Aston Villa lost to Portsmouth at home, Arsenal also lost to Middlesbrough away from home, then Manchester City also lost to Tottenham away from home, and Bolton Wanderers beat Droyden at home.

But the real upset was at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea drew with Sunderland at home.

Roy Keane's team even outperformed the home team at Stamford Bridge. Ancelotti looked a little distracted throughout the game, and everyone in the Blues was a little unmotivated, although they scored an early goal. ball, but ultimately failed to keep the score.

At the press conference at Stamford Bridge after the game, all the reporters were anxiously waiting for Ancelotti to appear. They had even thought about how to embarrass Ancelotti later.

But it’s true. The Italian originally had the title of Confucian and Commander-in-Chief, but his temper has become increasingly violent recently. Last time he even scolded reporters angrily and left the field angrily in advance. This kind of thing rarely happened to him before. Usually, Only that arrogant guy from the Red Rebels would do such a thing.

Could it be that because Ying stayed for a long time, he became irritable?

Roy Keane was already waiting at the press conference. Being able to defeat the powerful Chelsea away from home, everyone at the Black Cats was extremely satisfied, especially Chris Taylor, the best player in the game, who performed an excellent performance. , became the patron saint of the Black Cats, with high blocks and low passes, defusing countless Chelsea attacks.

Although relegation is still far away, Sunderland is currently ranked No. 1 and is still far away from the relegation zone. Roy Keane is already very satisfied with this, and the team is becoming more and more confident in relegation.

Keane, who was born as a player, knew very well that the protagonist of this press conference was destined not to be him or Sunderland, but only Ancelotti and his Chelsea.

The media is like this, they will always only focus on the brightest star.

About ten minutes passed, and many reporters at the scene were already impatient with the wait. Ancelotti arrived belatedly.

His eyes were red and his face looked tired, as if he had not slept well last night. This was completely different from the image of an Italian handsome man who usually pays great attention to appearance, and it immediately attracted the attention of all reporters present.

"what happened?"

"Maybe something happened?"

There was a lot of discussion at the scene,

Especially when they noticed that Chelsea's general manager Kenyon also came to the scene, they were all surprised and had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

You know, Kenyon has never appeared at the press conference of the game. Now that he is here, it must be extraordinary, otherwise it would be impossible for the Blues boss to come forward.

After Ancelotti sat down, the press officer announced the official start of the press conference.

But just when the reporter was about to ask, Ancelotti suddenly raised his hand and signaled the reporter not to ask.

The reporters below were in an uproar at first, but quickly calmed down.

Ancelotti glanced at the reporters below. He still remembered that when he came to Stamford Bridge, there were not as many reporters as there are now. At that time, he had not proven himself, and Chelsea had not proved themselves at that time. Everything is so beautiful and worth remembering.

Two hearts full of fighting spirit and youthful vitality met together, and sparks immediately flew out. Chelsea at that time was really strong. Although it was not perfect, compared to the seemingly perfect Chelsea now, Ancelotti I prefer the Chelsea team at that time, after all, everyone had the same goal at that time.

But now, everyone is in danger, everyone only cares about their own jobs, and no one cares about the overall situation.

"The first sentence is a question," I still remember, the summer of two years ago, I sat here. That was the first time I saw many of the people here. I am very happy that you are all here today. . "

After saying that, Ancelotti seemed to be smiling, but anyone who knew him well could understand that there was bitterness in his smile.

Yes, it has been more than 10 years, and Ancelotti has become more gray than before. During the more than a year of coaching Chelsea, he has almost become so old that it is hard to accept.

I believe that those who don’t meet Ancelotti almost every day or see recent photos of Ancelotti in newspapers every day will be surprised when they look at Ancelotti after three years. Is this still an Italian handsome?

"Mr. Ancelotti, what happened?" a reporter asked cautiously.

In fact, everyone had vaguely guessed it, because not long ago, the media began to leak gossip.

Didn't someone say that? If the news comes too suddenly and you are afraid that people will not be able to accept it, then reveal it to reporters and media you are familiar with in advance and spread it through gossip. When everyone is used to these gossips, then once the news comes, they will not be able to accept it. Some people can't accept it anymore.

In the past few seasons of coaching Chelsea, Ancelotti has turned the Blues into a strong English team. Although they still lack a Champions League, and although they have only won one English championship, no one can deny the strength of Chelsea. It is the best in Britain and even in Europe.

What excites Chelsea fans is that in addition to the results, Chelsea's games are also very enjoyable to watch. Ancelotti has added an elegant simplicity to Chelsea's tactics, playing offensive football, especially in the game. , Chelsea is one of the most popular teams in the UK.

With the rise of Chelsea, Ancelotti has become Europe's top coach.

But gradually, I don’t know when, the outside world began to spread the news that Abramovich was dissatisfied with Ancelotti. The Russian rich man was dissatisfied that Chelsea invested heavily every year, but never received corresponding returns. He was even more dissatisfied that Chelsea could never defeat the Reds. Jun made it impossible for him to raise his head in front of Xiao Yu.

This situation is especially true this season. Even as early as the summer, news has spread. It is said that Abramovich has contacted many head coaches, including Hiddink, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Hitzfeld, Capello and other world-renowned coaches. Famous coaches, especially the Red Rebels coach Mourinho, whom he has been chasing after.

Abramovich's wish has always been simple, that is, he hopes to recruit Mourinho and replicate the success history of the Red Rebels

Now it seems that it is finally time for the gossip to come out of the spotlight.

"I thought about it for a long time. I thought about it for a long time and a lot. I also had in-depth consultations with the club, and finally I made a decision."

At this point, Ancelotti suddenly paused, "Before I say my decision, I have to say sorry to everyone present because I was late. I was in the locker room with my friend. "When the players say my decision, I have to be the first to let them know what I think and that's the trust we've built over the years."

"I have decided to resign as Chelsea coach. Maybe this is a bit difficult for some people to accept, but I must clarify that this has nothing to do with the club, nor does it have anything to do with the chairman. They gave me Enough respect, but I feel that I am really not suitable to continue to stay at Stamford Bridge, even if I have had a very pleasant experience here."

Although they already knew the outcome of the matter, when it happened, all the reporters were panicked and confused, and no one could believe it.

Ancelotti was hired by Chelsea from AC Milan with a lot of money. At that time, Abramovich even asserted that Ancelotti would create a dynasty at Chelsea. But now, just over a year later, Ancelotti has dismissed class, whether willingly or not. , or is it forced, there must be problems between him and Chelsea.

It is foreseeable that the media will exaggerate this matter the next day. It will be difficult for Chelsea fans to accept this matter, because they respect Ancelotti so much and support Ancelotti's football.

"Maybe... I'm not suitable to sit here anymore." Ancelotti stood up from his seat, smiled stiffly, looked at Roy Keane, and reached out his hand, "Your team Well done Roy, you deserve a draw."

Roy Keane also stood up and took the initiative to hug Ancelotti, "Wish you good luck."

"Good luck to you too, Roy," Ancelotti said. "Good luck to all of you, and good luck to Chelsea. Good luck to all the Chelsea fans. Goodbye."

After saying that, Ancelotti left the press conference directly and walked backstage.

The reporters at the scene suddenly became a mess, and they were all still accepting Ancelotti's resignation.

"Quiet, friends from the media." Kenyon wanted to retain Ancelotti, but the latter left very decisively, and he could only step out to save the situation.

"Mr. Kenyon, can you reveal the reason why Ancelotti left?" A reporter immediately grabbed Kenyon and asked.

Kenyon shook his head, feeling helpless. "What I can reveal is that it has nothing to do with other aspects. The main reason is that Carlo feels that he is not suitable to continue to be Chelsea's head coach. He feels tired and wants to take a rest."

"But we heard that Mr. Abramovich has never been very supportive of Ancelotti's work," a reporter reminded.

Unexpectedly, Kenyon immediately shook his head, "No, it has nothing to do with the chairman, I can guarantee that."

But everyone could tell that he was defending Abu. No one would know what was going on.

In fact, even Kenyon himself feels a little puzzled. You must know that Chelsea is currently on the right path. The results in the past few seasons cannot be said to be bad. After all, the team has always been ranked at the top. Last season, they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. In this season's Champions League group stage, Chelsea currently has 5 wins and 4 draws, and has firmly qualified, but Abramovich is still not satisfied.

The reason why Chelsea's strength has fluctuated this season is more due to the team's personnel adjustments. Cannavaro is old, Carvalho has taken over, and formed a defender partner with Alex. Ancelotti wants to find a suitable one. As a substitute, Shevchenko's condition declined quickly. Ancelotti wanted a shooter. He couldn't get Torres before, so he wanted Anelka.

Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with this kind of adjustment. Moreover, Ronaldinho is not the person he wants. However, after coming to Chelsea, Ancelotti just catered to the chairman's request and changed Chelsea's tactics. Camorane West also didn't fit Ancelotti's style, but he also came, and Crespo, who Ancelotti wanted, ended up being sold.

Tactics need to be adjusted once a season, and Chelsea have to re-adjust them almost every season. If it was in the Premier League a few years ago, this would not be a big problem, but now, there are many heroes, even the newly promoted Portsmouth Teams such as Sunderland and Sunderland are all strong, so it is normal for Chelsea's performance to be affected.

Kenyon's original idea was to stabilize the main lineup, introduce Torres, and introduce a young and capable substitute in the defense to maintain stability on the three lines as much as possible. I believe that giving Ancelotti a year or two, he can help Chelsea is embarking on a healthy path. By then, even if Chelsea cannot be as strong as the Red Rebels, they will at least be able to guarantee their dominance in Europe for many years.

But now, Abu has lost his patience and wants to see results faster.

Anelka has been booked, and the price is high, but Ancelotti, who appointed him to join, has left London. I don’t know whether this is a blessing or a curse for Chelsea.

"I would like to ask Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Ancelotti's departure is a foregone conclusion. I wonder if Chelsea has a suitable head coach candidate?"

Kenyon's face darkened after hearing this, but he immediately regained his energy and said confidently: "For the time being, Grant, the assistant coach of the first team, will serve as the head coach of the first team."

In other words, Chelsea simply did not find a suitable replacement for Ancelotti.

Capello was originally very popular. He resigned from Real Madrid in the summer of 2007 and is now idle at home. He is considering several invitations, including the position of head coach of the England national team. However, Abramovich is not very interested in him and thinks that Capello Ronaldo is incompatible with Chelsea's current style of play.

God, he probably never thought that Chelsea’s sexy football was brought about by Ancelotti, which happened in more than three years, but he asked Chelsea’s head coach to be the same as Real Madrid’s head coach, and he had to play The performance must be good, and the scene must be beautiful. Does he think Chelsea has the same tradition as Real Madrid?

Thinking of this, Kenyon felt depressed that his ambitions were unreachable. In the past few years at Chelsea, he had formulated many business strategies, including how to develop the Asian market and how to develop the American market. These were all his efforts over the years. It is a meticulous masterpiece that he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to make.

But Abramovich has no interest in this at all. On the surface, he wants Chelsea to operate independently and have a healthy finances, but privately he wants to make Chelsea a puppet, a puppet that allows him to satisfy his desire to surpass Xiao Yu, so He began to become more and more eager for quick success.

As a result, Kenyon's authority has been increasingly restricted.

Now, seeing Ancelotti leaving, Kenyon seems to have seen his own tomorrow. Sometimes he is so impulsive that he wants to tell Abramovich.

It’s still the same sentence they said when they first met, football will always depend on people who know the ropes to play well.
