Chapter 094 The Died of Fish in the Pool

Just as Benitez was considering how to limit the publicity threat in the game against Manchester City, in London, another big team, Chelsea, was in chaos and stormy.

The league played 25 rounds with 47 points, the same points as the upstart Manchester City, and the net goal difference was less than that of Manchester City. In the end, it ranked behind Manchester City and ranked fifth in the league.

This is obviously unacceptable to Chelsea boss Abramovich! In particular, Chelsea has just got rid of the hat of 'starts', but its current record is not as good as that of 'newly released upstarts' Manchester City, which is even more tolerable by the Russian oligarch.

Once Abramovich is dissatisfied with the team's performance, what will he do? Naturally, it's the head coach's operation!

Just after Valentine's Day, Abramovich flew directly from Moscow to London by private plane, and then accompanied by his cronin Tenambam and club president Buck, he went to the training base of the Chelsea team, the Kobam training base.

When Abu and his party appeared at the training base, the staff of the base found that the bosses looked wrong, as if they were wearing a "death mask", and they were so scared to sit upright.

Abu went straight to one of the conference rooms and immediately summoned Scolari for a meeting. Scolari was discussing the tactics of the away game against Aston Villa on the weekend with his assistants. Although Chelsea had a poor record, ranked fifth in the Premier League table in the 2008/2009 season, and was even overwhelmed by Manchester City with a goal difference. However, Chelsea, who scored 47 points, Manchester, was at the top of the list. The point gap of the League is only six points. For the head coach who has just taken over a team for less than a year, this result is not good, but it is definitely not very bad. Moreover, Scolari does not think that Chelsea has left the championship team. There are 13 rounds left in the league, and Chelsea have no possibility of reversing the championship in the league. Besides, Chelsea is still alive in the FA Cup and the Champions League. It can be said that there is hope of winning the championship in the third line. Obviously, 'Big Phil' for The future of himself and Chelsea is still very optimistic. He doesn't know that his 'big limit has come'.

When he was told that the big boss was called, Scolari asked his assistants to continue the discussion. He got up and went to Abramovich's office to meet his boss with a smile.

In fact, although he has been the head coach of Chelsea for more than eight months, Scolari has not dealt much with Abu since he took office, that is, he has only met three or four times. This is the result of his new requirements: please do not interfere in team affairs. Unfortunately, it is obvious that this is only Scolari's wishful thinking.

After entering the conference room, Scolari immediately understood that everything was over. Abu told him with a solemn look, "It can't go on like this. Changes must be made!"

Scolari immediately understood what the Russians meant by 'change must be made'. He was fired.

To the surprise of Abu and others, Scolari was just a conster astonishment when he heard that he was fired. Obviously, he himself did not expect that he would be fired like this. However, after astonishment, Scolari reacted calmly, shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and accepted fate with great grace.

Seeing that Scolari calmly accepted the fate of being fired, Abu was also very satisfied. This man was still familiar with current affairs. This made him feel quite good about Scolari's last impression.

In fact, it has been brewing in Abu's mind whether to fire Scolari for a long time. He had exchanged views with Buck, Tennbaum and Kenyon in private before. Kenion seems to want to make it clear for Scolari. However, Scolari's team has been unlucky recently, losing to Liverpool in the away game, and then At home, he was tied by Hull, the second worst defensive player in the Premier League, with 5 draws and 2 losses in 13 home games. After the New Year, he lost 8 points in five rounds and fell to the fifth place. What made Abu unbearable was that Chelsea's ranking was actually behind Manchester City.

After Manchester City's points ranking surpassed Chelsea, even Kenyon, who wanted to protect Scolari, did not say anything. He knew that being weighed on by Manchester City, the 'new upstart', was Abu's reverse scale, and Scolari's fate was doomed!

Subsequently, Chelsea's official website issued a statement announcing Scolari's dismissal, while the assistant coach Wilkins was in charge of the team until the new coach took office: "The club has made a decision, and now, the removal of Scolari's head coach will take effect immediately. We thank him for his efforts during his coaching. Scolari has brought a lot of positive things to the team since he took office. We feel sorry for the premature end of a friendship. Unfortunately, the recent results are not ideal. Now is the critical moment of the season, and changing the coach is the only choice. The selection of the coach has begun.

Later, Scolari also publicly thanked Chelsea for giving him the opportunity to coach: "This experience is very valuable. I'm sorry that it didn't last longer. I wish Chelsea good luck in the three events."

This is also considered to be the most peaceful breakup between Chelsea in Abramovich's hands and the dismissal of the head coach so far.

After Scolari's class, Wilkins acted as the head coach, and the Chelsea veteran also became the focus of media attention again.

Wilkins was the favorite of Stamford Bridge when he was a player. He signed as an apprentice and served as the head of the Blue Army at the age of 18. He was the youngest captain in the team's history. This man is an evergreen tree in English football. He has footprints all over large and small clubs such as Manchester United, Glasgow Rangers, Crystal Palace and Millwall. He has also played for AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, represented England 84 times, participated in two World Cups and one European Cup, and did not hang his boots until the age of 40.

However, in the eyes of the media, Wilkins is not very lucky whether he is a coach or a teaching assistant. The only coach was to take Fulham to take the team to the eve of the League Two play-offs and was fired by Fayettes. He followed Viali to Chelsea and Watford, and was fired by the club on both occasions. In 2003, he served with another Chelsea host Wise to serve Millwall. Two years later, he left with Wise and assisted Peter Thai in 2007. He led the England youth team and abandoned halfway. He worked as a teaching assistant at Chelsea for the second time last year, and Scolari was down.

Scolari had nothing to do with Zhang Yang after class, but the two were still connected by the media.

"Scolari was completely lost his job by Zhang Yang." The BBC said when it reported that Chelsea's head coach was dismissed from class.

Obviously, in the view of the BBC, the reason why Scolari is dismissed is most directly related to Manchester City's overtaking Chelsea in the table, and the reason why Manchester City can enter the top four in the league is the greatest contribution!

The Chinese striker, worth 75 million pounds, is the flag of Manchester City, the core of Manchester City's attack, the number one scorer of Manchester City, and the most goal star in the league. Zhang Yang has scored 22 goals in the league so far! And more than 60% of the team's attacks and goals are related to him! This is a horrible data!

The current good situation of Manchester City is created by Zhang Yang, so the BBC said that Zhang Yang dismissed Scolari, which also seems to make a point.

However, the most exciting news is later. The Guardian later revealed that Scolari said that he would not leave England for the time being after being fired by Chelsea, because there may be a new job waiting for him in a few months. The Guardian then made an in-depth analysis of Scolari's statement. They believed that Scolari's new job was the head coach of Manchester City!

"Although Manchester City is now ranked fourth in the league, this is quite a great achievement, and Mark. Although Hughes is also questioned, Manchester City's performance and ranking also show that the Welshman is credited, but there seems to be no sign of easing the conflict between the Welsh and the Chinese, and once the club is in the head coach Mark. If you make a choice between Hughes and Scolari, the Welsh will definitely leave. As for Manchester City's new head coach? Arabs are very interested in the former world champion coach who just lost his job in London... The excellent results that Zhang Yang led Manchester City are the direct reason for Scolari's dismissal, and interestingly, the Chinese striker and the Brazilian coach may cooperate together in the future..."

On February 20, the whole Manchester City team arrived in Liverpool by bus.

At the door of the hotel, they were surrounded by reporters who had been waiting there for a long time.

What makes Manchester City's players curious is that they are surrounded by Mark in front of the hotel. The number of reporters interviewed by Hughes actually exceeded the number of reporters around Zhang Yang. This is the first time that it has been over the world.

At the beginning, Mark. Hughes is also very happy. It seems that the team is now back to the top four, which makes its market soar, and the reporters have paid a lot of attention to themselves.

However, after the reporters asked questions, Mark. Hughes's face slowly became ugly.

"Mr. Hughes, what do you think of Scolari's absence from Chelsea?"

"Mr. Hughes, may I ask if Scolari is idle at home now. Do you have a sense of urgency?"

What do you think about peat! Urgent peat!

Mark. Hughes wants to beat people. Shit, Scolari was fired, and the Brazilian lost his job. It's none of my business! Why are you asking me this question all the time!

The implied meaning of the reporters' words, Mark. Hughes naturally knew it. It was because of it that he felt aggrieved. I'll do it to you. I'm now leading the Manchester City team to the top four, and you always shout that I will be out of class! Damn, the class is over like this. Is there any reason?! Change someone to take the Manchester City team to have a try?!

Mark. Hughes felt that he was very wronged and aggrieved. He felt that these reporters were against him. No matter what achievements he had made, these annoying reporters would still look at themselves with colored glasses!

"I am the head coach of Manchester City, not Chelsea, so I have no comment on these issues." Mark. Hughes said with a gloomy face. Then, the crowd squeezed out and entered the hotel.

Not far away, Zhang Yang, who was also surrounded by reporters, looked at the head coach's back and said in his heart, 'It's really gutless.'

If he were Mark. Hughes's words have been questioned and even ridiculed. He has been scolded for a long time. He doesn't care what to do. If he is angry, he can't hold it. If he is not happy, he will vent. I'm not easy to bully.

Maybe this kind of personality is destined for Mark. Hughes's coaching style is a little swinging and relatively conservative.

This is also the biggest discord between Manchester City's flag and the head coach.

Scolari's class is over, which affects Chiyu, Manchester City's head coach Mark. Hughes is the fish in the pond.

PS: The first update. This month's arrears are still two times, and I will make up for it in the next two days.
