Chapter 095 Anfield Stadium (1)

Scolari's dismissal was not only affected by Manchester City coach Mark Hughes, but as the hype of this matter became more and more powerful.

The Times used the front page of the February 20th title, "Scolari was dismissed, the Chelsea crisis has just begun!" to report it.

"It is not too unexpected that Scolari was dismissed. After all, just by his performance, he was indeed the worst helmist in the Abu era. Even the madman who won multiple championships and Grant, who led the team to runner-up, were not spared, and Chelsea may not even be able to touch the league championship now.

Abu is not short of money. In order to play the game of football, the dissident never fears being the sucker and spends huge wages to speculate. If a team has poor performance, the first thing to be unlucky is the head coach. But the problem is that if the change of coach can have a real effect, it is naturally a wonderful move. However, Chelsea now seems to be full of dangers. In fact, this has already started when the madman was dismissed.

When he first arrived, he won several very important trophys for Chelsea. The madman was very rewarding, but Abu was still not satisfied, so he replaced the former with Grant. However, everyone knows that Grant is just a transitionalist.

Imperatism is a major feature of Abram. But facts have long proved that quick success and instant benefits are obviously undesirable. Abram should have thought that Ferguson ruled Manchester United for more than 20 years, and there were also troughs during this period. Wenger, Benitez and others are typical examples of long-term coaching. Changing coaches is definitely a double-edged sword. If it is handled improperly, it will only be a backfire. Frequent change of head coaches is not a good thing for a team's long-term development.

It is of course an honor for the head coach to be able to hold a luxury battleship like Chelsea today, but Abram's paranoia is likely to hurt those masters who swear to build a championship teacher. Mourinho was so arrogant at the beginning that it made people believe that he had absolute authority in the team. It was not until one day that he was suddenly declared unemployed, and the public found that he was fooled again. That's why the madman later began to expose his shortcomings after leaving: In fact, at Chelsea, the head coach is just a puppet of the boss, and many things

It may be a bit exaggerated to say that Abu doesn't understand football, but at least he can't know more than the head coach, and it's impossible to know which players the team needs and does not need than the head coach. At that time, Sheva almost became a major catalyst for the conflict between Abu and the madman. Later, the situation also proved that Chelsea did not need such a sky-high substitute. As the boss of a team, it is obviously unreasonable to buy people completely according to his own preferences. This is a bit like Moratti in the past.

Needless to say how big the gap between Chelsea and the Madman era is now. The fifth in the league, behind Manchester City, is such an exaggerated enough. And in such a crisis moment, Abraham still chose not to give Scolari more time.

Can the problem be solved by changing the head coach? I'm afraid it's difficult. The current situation seems to show that Hiddink is a popular candidate. The Dutch coach can definitely be called a master, and it can also be said to have a special relationship with Abram. Scolari's successor may be him. But don't forget that Scolari is still the one who has won the World Cup championship. Not to mention whether Hiddink, who is also known for coaching the national team, can be at ease in the club? Who can guarantee that Abram will not turn against others one day?

The glory of the Madman era has become a thing of the past. As long as Abram continues to interfere in the team, Chelsea's crisis will be difficult to resolve within a period of time. Staying away from the league championship may be just a clue of the Blues' crisis.

Changing a head coach may not be a good way to achieve immediate results.

However, we can give Mr. Abramovich a constructive suggestion, that is, buy a player!

Who to buy?

Of course it is Manchester City's No. 10!

Let’s see what Zhang Yang brought to this team after coming to Manchester City, and you will know how rare and precious such a player is! With Zhang Yang, Mark Hughes can bring Manchester City to the fourth place in the league, and even topped the league list for a time. With Zhang Yang, Chelsea can reach what height can they reach? Just imagine.

Of course, for Mr. Abramovich, the biggest problem now is that the Arab boss of Manchester City is even stronger than him. It is too difficult to poach Zhang Yang from Manchester City... The only possibility is that there is a quote that even Arabs who are not short of money will find it difficult to refuse..."

In this report, The Times criticized the actions of Chelsea's Russian boss, and then teased Manchester City coach Mark Hughes, but at the end, the topic suddenly changed, and suddenly linked Zhang Yang with Chelsea.

This seems to be just an analytical report, but it immediately caused a lot of discussion in the English football world. Is the role of a player more important than the role of the head coach? Also, this is just the suggestion of the Times, and it is true. Will Chelsea really pursue ostentatiousness with unimaginable quotes?

In football today, nothing can attract the attention of the media and fans as a transfer from superstars.

Although Zhang Yang has just arrived in Manchester City for only one season, Zhang Yang has repeatedly stated that he has a goal and a dream in Manchester City, which makes it impossible for Zhang Yang to transfer and leave Manchester City in a short period of time.

However, although Zhang Yang said it ten thousand times and he was happy at Manchester City, the hype and rumors about Zhang Yang's possible departure from Manchester City have never stopped.

Why is this happening?

Nothing! In everyone's eyes, Zhang Yang and Manchester City are really incompatible. Even now, Manchester City has entered the top four in the league under Zhang Yang's leadership!

It's like a marrying a beautiful princess. When the moment they were united, people kept guessing and waiting for when the princess would leave the marry and pursue her pearls and gems!

After the Times report came out, Manchester City's club responded very quickly. In the afternoon of the same day, the club's official spokesperson said that Zhang Yang will definitely have a great legend in Manchester City!

This statement was not stated explicitly, but it has already declared Manchester City's sovereignty to Zhang Yang. Since it is a legend, how could it be possible to leave?!

In fact, after signing Zhang Yang, Manchester City's senior executives were still worried while being happy. Of course, they knew that the mismatch between Manchester City and Zhang Yang was not matched, and they were worried that all the powerful people would come to poach!

This situation will always exist now, and will not be less in the future, but will become more and more serious. Whether Zhang Yang can achieve good results at Manchester City or not, if he finds his expectations in Manchester City, other giants will definitely come to persuade Zhang Yang to transfer. If Zhang Yang can still help Manchester City achieve great achievements, there will be more people coming to poach. Imagine that he can succeed in Manchester City, let alone the wealthy families with many experts!

Let's go back to this focus game between Manchester City and Liverpool for the time being.

Benitez is a master of tactics.

Regarding this, we have long talked about the consensus in football.

Benitez made his fortune from La Liga, and his path to fame is perfect. Since 2000, La Liga has broken Real Madrid and Barcelona's rule for only two seasons (not counting Super Laco in 2000). Benitez, who led the Spanish Second Division to upgrade and moved to Valencia, achieved these two icebreaking paths in 2002 and 2004!

In 2004, Valencia won the League Cup, and then Benitez came to Liverpool. In his first season when he arrived at Liverpool, he helped Liverpool win the Champions League title.

When it comes to Rafa Benitez, he still has to talk about the magical reversal of Liverpool on Istanbul Night on May 25, 2005. Coach Bernard has never been an inspiring master, but after he made a three-and-five move on the blackboard, he allowed the Reds to redeem the subsequent games. Liverpool, who was attacking with great strength, turned the situation around within 15 minutes and sent Benitez to the palace of tactical masters.

In the 2004-05 season, Benitez's Liverpool set sail in Europe, eliminating Juventus in the quarterfinals, eliminating Chelsea in the semi-finals, and reversing AC Milan in the finals to win the championship; in the 2006-07 season, Liverpool won the runner-up, and everyone remembers the feat of Liverpool eliminating Barcelona and Chelsea.

It can be said that in Liverpool, Benitez's name as a tactical master began to resound throughout Europe.

During Liverpool's period, he met the arrogant Mourinho, but Liverpool in that era was always a contender for the championship and showed the temperament of a strong team. He reached the Champions League final twice and won the cup once. Such a European record was also achieved in history that Liverpool in the Golden Age of 84 and 85.

It is precisely because Benitez brought Liverpool the expectation of a championship that Benitez also faces a higher goal, that is, to win the championship! If you don’t win the championship, you will fail!

This season, Liverpool's performance is quite eye-catching, which also made Liverpool's media extremely excited. Phillips, a reporter who has reported to the team for twenty years, said in his column, "Look at Liverpool's current performance and look at their performance in this season, I seem to have smelled the Premier League championship trophy..."

Now, Liverpool ranks second in the standings, and they are only one point less than Manchester United. A point difference also means that the competition for the league championship will be quite tragic.

For Liverpool, every game is a decisive battle. Facing Ferguson's Manchester United competition, Liverpool must maintain consistency, which is what Liverpool has always lacked the most.

In this round of the league, Manchester United faced Blackburn at home. Facing a weak team, Manchester United has almost been considered to have locked in three points.

This means that if Liverpool does not want to be widened by Manchester United, they must win Manchester City at home.

Winning Manchester City at Anfield Stadium at home was not a difficult task in the past, but now, no one in Liverpool dares to say that they can guarantee to win the game!

Because Manchester City has a show of excitement!

For Liverpool, how to limit the performance of Zhang Yang is undoubtedly the most important task for Benitez now.

However, after watching the earth-shaking 5-5 game video of both sides this season, as well as the video of Manchester City's recent games, Benitez has watched at least ten times, but he still has not been able to find a safe and feasible way to limit the publicity.

The crazy performance of that Chinese shooter made the tactical master helpless.

"Forget it, try to use two players to block his position." After thinking for a night without any results, Rafa Benitez could only comfort himself like this.

The question of ‘How to limit Zhang Yang’ has troubled almost all head coaches who play against Manchester City. Ferguson and Wenger are temporarily at a loss when facing this problem. Arsenal was even massacred by Manchester City 6-2, and Manchester United was also killed by Manchester City. In his first season in the Premier League, Zhang Yang stepped on the bodies of these giants and famous coaches and led Manchester City to a bloody road. It was said that it had attracted worldwide attention, but at least it shocked the English football world and shocked the European continent!

Both Ferguson and Wenger had no choice but to do something about Zhang Yang, and Benitez had no idea for the time being.
