After playing the fourth round of the Premier League, Su Yun went to participate in the draw for the Champions League group stage.
Starting from this season, the Champions League has undergone new reforms.
Until last season, the Champions League had always played two rounds of group stages, and then directly entered the quarterfinals. But starting from this season, the group stages of the Champions League have been reduced to one group stage.
This made many wealthy and powerful teams ecstatic.
Because in the past two group stages, the competition was too difficult.
It's not that difficult to fight.
In the group stage of every season, especially in the second round of the group stage, there will be a group of death. And once the second round of the group stage is passed, the remaining teams will be strong teams.
The important thing is the two rounds of the group stage, there are too many games.
The two group stages are twelve games.
Now it has been reduced to a group stage, and then directly entered the top 16.
The wealthy families are very happy.
Su Yun was also very happy.
The two group stages of the Champions League are really not something that ordinary teams can compete in.
Look at Real Madrid.
It has been so strong in recent years, winning three Champions Leagues in five years. It can almost be said to be the strength of a dynasty.
But they were also dragged down by the Champions League.
Every time they win the Champions League, they lose the league title. And every time they win La Liga, they don't win the Champions League. This is the drag of the Champions League.
Even Real Madrid is like this, and other clubs are even more difficult.
It is precisely because of this that Manchester United's Triple Crown deserves so much respect.
This Champions League reform was successful with the help of European giants. Those European giants joined forces and put huge pressure on UEFA. Especially after the establishment of G14, led by giants such as Real Madrid, Milan, and Bayern
Strong teams constantly put pressure on UEFA.
If the interests of their wealthy clubs are not protected, they will form a league of their own.
In the end, UEFA took measures to reform the Champions League under their pressure.
It can be regarded as a concession from European football to these European football giants.
Su Yun was very happy.
A group stage is good.
Chelsea, who had been placed in the group of death for two consecutive seasons, had unexpected luck this time. Of course, it had something to do with the fact that there were a lot of bad guys in the first round of the group stage.
Chelsea came up against a very weak group.
Placed in Champions League Group G.
Lazio, Besiktas, Sparta Prague.
And Chelsea.
Even the previous Chelsea would not be afraid of such a group, let alone the current Chelsea.
The media's prediction is simple.
Beşiktaş and Sparta Prague are rivals, and the media predicts that Chelsea and Lazio will appear.
…………
Su Yun was in a good mood.
It's really cool.
This group will definitely be able to appear. As long as Chelsea appears in the first round of the group stage, then Chelsea will be in the top 16 of the Champions League. If they cannot appear in this group stage, then it will be Su Yun's problem.
This group stage is really easy to appear.
After returning to England, Su Yun immediately prepared for the fifth round of the Premier League.
This is a more important game.
Chelsea challenges Arsenal away.
If there is one thing that I dislike the most about Chelsea, it is definitely Arsenal. In recent years, Chelsea's performance is not inferior to Arsenal, and even surpasses Arsenal in terms of the number of championships.
This makes Arsenal fans very dissatisfied.
Arsenal is the representative of London.
For more than a hundred years, Arsenal has been the leader in London. When it comes to London football, Arsenal is the representative.
What is Chelsea?
Not even as good as archrival Tottenham. (First.)
Now here comes another Russian guy.
British football is very conservative. They exclude foreign things, including foreign coaches, players, and of course bosses.
It is very difficult for outsiders to integrate into British football and succeed in British football.
Just like coaches such as Su Yun, Wenger, and Houllier, none of them are more difficult than local coaches. They are discriminated against and looked at differently by others. If they had not succeeded, they would have been thrown out long ago.
Abu is the same now.
Not only fans of other teams ridiculed the Russians. Even Chelsea fans themselves did not like many of Abramovich.
Moreover, many coaches criticized Chelsea for disrupting the transfer market.
The representative figure among them is Wenger.
Wenger has always spent a small amount of money to achieve big things. But Chelsea's actions in the transfer market this time caused the value of players who had started to stop to rise again. This was all caused by Chelsea.
That's why Wenger criticized Chelsea's policies at the beginning of the season.
Same goes for Arsenal fans.
But Su Yun didn't care.
Because now Chelsea is completely targeted by the public
Both the media and the fans are ridiculing Chelsea. Whether it is the home team fans when they go to the away game, or the away team fans at Stamford Bridge, they all shout the slogan "nouveau riche" towards Chelsea.
Su Yun was used to this.
Therefore, Su Yun didn't care at all about the abuse and sarcastic voices at Highbury Stadium.
Su Yun just stared at the court.
Look at Joaquin.
This is Joaquin's appearance in four consecutive games. Although his performance in the first three games was very poor, Su Yun still gave him a vote of confidence. During training, Su Yun told him a lot about playing in the Premier League.
Things to note about the ball.
And how to deal with the English defenders and so on.
Su Yun hopes that Joaquin is just temporarily unable to adapt to the Premier League.
But Su Yun really thought wrong.
Joaquin has only been in England for a few days and has only played a few games. He was completely unable to use his advantages in the game. His speed and skills are actually a nightmare for English defenders.
But he didn't know how to take advantage of them.
On the contrary, I am afraid.
Fear of the England defender's body.
"Su, what should I do?"
Clark also frowned. During this period, Su Yun and Clark thought of many ways to help Joaquin, but they still did not make any change in Joaquin.
"We can't continue like this. Su, your performance is under great pressure. You can't let the team's performance be affected for the sake of Joaquin. Karel is very good."
Clark advised Su Yun.
Killing everyone in the transfer market is indeed very glorious.
But behind the scenery is pressure.
It cost the new boss 90 million pounds. This is pressure. A lot of pressure.
Even though Su Yun is the most successful coach in Chelsea's history, he is almost a god-like presence at Stamford Bridge. But if the results this season are not satisfactory, the new boss will definitely not tolerate Su Yun.
Because Su Yun is under great pressure to achieve good results.
Clark doesn't want Su Yun to lose this season because of Joaquin.
When playing against weak teams like Leicester City and Blackburn, there is no problem if one side is missing. Because Chelsea's overall strength is strong, they can defeat them with one leg and the middle.
But once you face a strong team like Arsenal, missing one side is a suicide move.
Joaquin can't fight.
To be continued...
