Chapter 338 The Sad Tinker
In the sixth round of the Premier League, there is a focus battle, Notts County vs. Rubles Chelsea at home.
This is a direct contest between the top of the league standings and No.3, and it is also a touchstone to test the quality of Notts County's dark horse.
Of course, no one thinks that Chelsea is a dark horse in this position, because last season, they were able to rank in the top three, and after spending crazy money on signings in the summer, it would be strange if their results did not improve!
The other few games are strong and weak, and it is difficult to attract too much attention. Naturally, this game has become the focus of this round.
Naturally, there are many things to watch. After Abramovich took over, Chelsea introduced two players from Notts County at a high price, Di Natale and Meirelles. This game is also the first time for two players to face their old club. .
According to reliable sources, before Abramovich bought Chelsea, he also expressed his interest in Notts County, but he was directly rejected by Notts County chairman Pavis. Is this also the beginning of grievances?
As for the result of this game, it will also determine the changes in the standings. If Notts County wins, then this newly promoted horse will continue to sit firmly at the top of the standings, and Chelsea will also be broken. Will continue to keep pace with Arsenal, while Notts County may plummet.
Before the game, there was a lot of smoke, and the image of a fierce confrontation between the two clubs was also created.
Chelsea's current coach Claudio Ranieri is not a particularly strong coach, and his coaching career is more famous for saving fires. He has led the team through the entire season but has no special championships, especially the top league championships. There is even one who doesn't, and it's no wonder that Abramovich dislikes him for not having the temperament of a champion.
In fact, when he created miracles in Leicester City in his previous life, the tinkerer Ranieri was considered to have truly become a top coach, but now, without enough honors, he may not be able to hold back a group of proud soldiers like Chelsea. Will.
In fact, if David remembers correctly, Ranieri did not do well at Chelsea this season. He was runner-up in the league and broke into the semi-finals in the Champions League. , perhaps Abramovich has already tasted the sweetness of the league championship at the first thought of taking over.
Although to be fair, he did a good job, but for Abramovich, I invested so much money, so you handed me such a report card?
Then Ranieri was fired. It has to be said that Abramovich was still very eager for quick success in his first year in charge of Chelsea. Precipitate and accumulate steadily.
Before the game, Chelsea's overlord Abramovich has clearly told Ranieri that the game against Notts County must be won. He wants to show David that the team he bought will be a success. , Notts County's refusal to accept his shareholding is David's greatest stupidity. He will personally drag Notts County from the leading position, and he will make Notts County regret it.
For Abramovich's order, Ranieri is one head and two big. Although he knows that Abramovich's interference with the team will reach a heinous level, this kind of killing order is a bit nonsense.
Don't look at Notts County as a newly promoted horse, but they are the champions of the UEFA Cup and the top of the Premier League standings. Can such a magical team really look at them with the eyes of ordinary newly promoted horses?
Ranieri knows exactly what level Chelsea is at now. If it is an underdog, relying on a bunch of stars in the team can chop melons and chop vegetables, and once they encounter a team with very high tactical literacy, then Chelsea weaknesses will be exposed.
If he is given enough time, he will knead Chelsea's stars together and formulate suitable tactics. If he can avoid strong teams in front, it may not be a dream for Chelsea to reach the top this season.
But now that he had the unlucky encounter with Notts County so early, he had nothing to say.
He had to listen to what Abu said. If he didn't listen, he might lose his job in the next second. He knew that he was definitely not the champion coach in Abu's heart.
So Ranieri is really caught in a two-year situation.
He really wants to play a relatively conservative tactic in this game. At Notts County's home court, anyone who wants to attack Notts County is dead.
But the problem is that Abramovich doesn't accept the team's conservative tactics. He spent so much money, and in the end you tell him that the team still can't play against strong teams, especially the Notts County team that makes him feel thorny. Team, it's no wonder he didn't just fire you!
It’s so boring to live these days. The control of the team is not as good as the day. If Abramovich doesn’t buy so many stars, it’s better to watch the dishes by himself. Now that there are so many stars, whoever plays and who doesn’t Appear?
The back line and wing positions are better, and the competition is not particularly fierce, but in the forward position and the midfield, it is almost like a fight.
Hasselbaink, Crespo, Di Natale, Gudjohnsen, Mutu, these five first-class or even top forwards need to compete for two starting positions, and the others can only wait for their opportunities on the bench. Cruelty!
In the middle of the midfield, Lampard, Makelele, Meireles, Petit, Veron, Gremi, these players also need to compete for two positions, which is even more fierce and cruel.
Chelsea's first team is bloated to an exaggerated level, even if they are forming a club, they can play in the Premier League.
The depth of the bench is enough, but Chelsea's current problem is not the depth of the bench, but the team needs to form an overall combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
Ranieri feels that he has entered the most difficult period of his coaching career.
Before the game, he didn't want to say much in front of the media. As an old driver who has coached experience in many clubs, he knows a truth very well. Sometimes the more he talks, the more likely he will be slapped in the face in the end.
But often things are beyond your control, and journalists in England are the most difficult to deal with. Even if you don't want to speak, they will try to make you speak, and then turn the corner and lead you into the ditch.
When the reporter asked about his views on the game, Ranieri could not speak.
Then the reporter opened his eyes and started talking nonsense: Notts County said that this game will beat Chelsea to a pig's head at home.
Ranieri can also not speak.
But when the reporters continued to fabricate that Loew was interested in Chelsea's coaching position, and Abramovich and Loew had entered the substantive negotiation stage, Ranieri just exploded!
