Chapter 403: Winning the League Cup

Although Abramovich, the boss in the stands, was ambitious, the offensive on the court had to come to an end for the time being.

Chelsea finally entered the break with a two-goal lead.

But in the second half, the Blues took advantage of the kick-off and took the initiative in the game from the beginning. On the other hand, Arsenal didn't know if it was because of the recurrence of the old injury. Central defender Campbell did not appear in the starting lineup in the second half, and was replaced by French central defender Sigan.

As soon as the French central defender, who was 1.92 meters tall and weighed 87 kilograms, he seemed even more helpless when facing Ibrahimovic. He was fooled by the opponent once, almost causing a foul in the penalty area.

Fortunately, the referee showed mercy and allowed him and Arsenal to escape.

But Chelsea caught the weakness of Arsenal's central defender and immediately increased the offensive, especially Ibrahimovic. Facing the double central defender composed of Kloe Toure and Sigan, he made full use of his own advantages, making Arsenal's defensive players unable to resist.

When the game reached the 64th minute, Ibrahimovic suddenly retreated and received the ball and passed it to Ronaldinho. The latter skillfully caught the ball and swung past Lauren, and passed it behind him. The Swedish center shot and scored twice.

During the entire goal, Toure and Sigan both became excellent foils.

Three to zero, the game has ended early.

The remaining nearly half an hour was almost completely garbage time, and Gao Han even replaced two young players, Van Persie and Fabregas, which was very meaningful to use Arsenal to train.

But just when the winner and lose on the court have been decided, the stadium stands have become the biggest highlight.

From the beginning of the game, the fanatical Blues fans included the entire Millennium Stadium in their own sphere of influence, as if they wanted to turn it into Stamford Bridge Stadium. The excitement and excitement of each of them was beyond words.

Throughout the game, they supported their team with singing and shouting, creating a blue frenzy in the Millennium Stadium, sweeping the entire stadium and infecting everyone present.

Although they are evenly matched in terms of numbers, Arsenal fans are relatively gentlemanly.

They don't have the hoarse shouts of Chelsea fans, nor the unscrupulous catharsis of Blues fans. They often carry drinks and snacks, sitting in the stands and chatting with their friends beside them, as if they are not watching a tense football game, but are coming to relax.

It even makes people feel that they seem to have nothing to do with this football game.

He fell behind two goals in the first half, but Arsenal's performance in the second half still did not improve at all. The Gunners fans were expressionless in the stands, not even at least anger, but they were just booed, but were soon overwhelmed by the voices of Chelsea fans.

And when Chelsea scored the third goal, we could see that the area where the red fans were located was constantly leaving early...

"They charge the most expensive tickets in the Premier League, but are the fans entering the venue really loyal?"

Cantalero is a conservative person, and he is also concerned about football feelings, so he has always been very dissatisfied with Arsenal's super high ticket prices, believing that this will keep some fanatical but not enough spending power out.

Not only him, Manchester United's Ferguson and captain Keane have also repeatedly criticized the fans at Old Trafford Stadium not strong enough, thinking that they are just a group of gentlemen gnawing steak and drinking red wine.

Gao Han is also very conflicted about this.

With the development of professional football, the contradiction between interests and emotions has become increasingly strong.

Arsenal fans are like their team. They lack the ability to withstand pressure and are prone to fall off at critical moments. So last season, they forced Ferguson, a fierce horse that was honed from the north, to counterattack when they were so much ahead.

Arsenal at that time left the field early like the fans in the stands at this moment.

Even to enlarge, Wenger and Arsenal are very similar to London, and are good at computing, but they are only good at computing.

But football, even professional football, cannot rely on smart calculations if you want to win.

When it comes to this game, Wenger's abacus is smart and his strategy is correct.

Arsenal played against Chelsea, and both sides thought from their perspective, Gao Han also felt that the Gunners could only fight a defensive counterattack.

Vieira and Gilberto Silva's double midfielder configuration was created to defend and counterattack.

But the Gunners' lineup is not thick enough, which is definitely not a problem this season. It has been exposed before, but Wenger's approach to this is to not sign a player, or to introduce a group of young players with good quality and low price.

This certainly reduces the team's expenses and allows the club to withdraw more funds to invest in the formation of new stadiums, but don't expect these young players to take on heavy responsibilities at critical moments.

Campbell was forced to substitution in midfield, and Sigan was difficult to partner with Daren, and even Kloe Toure himself was very problematic.

You know, two or three years ago, he was still playing wild football on the street. No matter how talented he is, don’t expect him to play solidly like a regular youth training player.

But why did Wenger reuse him?

No one anymore!

Henry performed well in the first half, which made Ferreira feel a little embarrassed. Gao Han even considered whether to use a defensive card to strengthen Ferreira's defense, but in the second half, he had no idea about this at all.

Judging from the entire second half, Henry could not keep up with the pace of the game at all, and it was obvious that there was a physical problem.

Arsenal has proved something with tragic facts that if you want to achieve results in the professional league, you must be willing to invest.

Since the gunman chose to reduce his clothes and diet, he could only sacrifice his grades.

"You see, it will be difficult for other teams to challenge our rule in the Premier League within three years." Gao Han said confidently.

Manchester United faces restructuring and metabolism. Arsenal has been flipping and dieting for the new stadium. Liverpool has been weak for a long time, and Newcastle is no longer the same as it used to be. Looking at the entire Premier League, Chelsea can be said to be a standalone player.

The problems faced by these teams cannot be solved in a short period of time, so Gao Han is confident that he can dominate the Premier League within three years with the team he formed.

"Next season, let's go to the Champions League to have fun!" Gao Han patted Emery on the shoulder and laughed.

The assistants around them also showed excitement.

A year ago, they just won the Champions League at Atletico Madrid. If the team can continue to dominate the Premier League next season and concentrate on dealing with the Champions League, Gao Han's coaching results will definitely be unpopular again. By that time...

It feels exciting to think about it!

…………

…………

The game ended in a drizzle.

The rain is very thin, but it is very cold, dripping on the body and mind, causing people to feel cold.

The moment Gao Han sounded, he stepped into the stadium and shouted loudly. Whenever he passed by a player, he would take the initiative to hug him, encourage and congratulate him.

Arsenal players all had their heads hanging down, looking very excited.

In the stands, the Gunners fans scattered at extremely fast speed, as if they were going to catch the subway, and as if they were unwilling to see their mortal enemies on the stage to receive the trophy.

The entire Millennium Stadium has completely become a celebration stage for Chelsea!

The Blues fans were all particularly excited and celebrated in groups around the stadium.

For many of them, this is the first championship trophy in their careers, especially worth remembering.

The Blues fans in the stands were also excited because they really felt that the team they loved was rising at an extremely astonishing speed.

This league cup championship is just the beginning.

Naturally, they will not forget the team's number one hero. When the Blues players surrounded the head coach Gao Han in the middle, ignoring the head coach's stern refusal, strictly following the tradition, and throwing Gao Han into the sky, tens of thousands of Blues fans in the audience shouted the head coach's name in Chinese in unison.

They all knew that without high altitude, there would be no Chelsea today.

After a crazy celebration, everyone began to wait for the award ceremony to arrive.

Gao Han also took the time to go to the northern coaching area and shook hands with Wenger and his assistants one by one. This was also a politeness and respect for each other as the head coach.

Although Wenger lost, he still congratulated Gao Han very gracefully.

However, he still said very stubbornly that Arsenal has not given up yet and will continue to maintain pressure on Chelsea.

But Gao Han laughed at this sentence.

March is about to enter. With Arsenal's current state, it may soon usher in a losing streak.

The players are not Iron Man. Even Vieira and Gilberto Silva, who are known for their outstanding physical fitness, are probably unable to bear it now, let alone others.

Is it possible to catch up with Chelsea in this situation?

Just when he said goodbye to Wenger and was about to enter the comprehensive interview area, he saw Abramovich walking out of the player channel accompanied by Granovskiya and Bruce Buck.

As soon as the Russian saw Gao Han, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Thank you, Gao Han, thank you very much for everything you did for Chelsea."

From his hands tightly clenched, Gao Han could feel the excitement in his heart at this moment.

"This is what I should do." He replied with a smile, "Actually, I should thank you for your trust in me."

The rare scene between the two immediately welcomed the attention of the reporters waiting on the sidelines, and all rushed over.

"Mr. Gao Han, I am a reporter from the Sun. I won the championship in my first season in the Premier League. What do you think?"

"This season, Chelsea continued your brilliant record at Atletico Madrid, and has maintained a winning streak. Now it has defeated Arsenal and won the League Cup. I wonder if you have anything you want to tell the fans at this moment?"

"Mr. Gao Han, the Chelsea fans were shouting in Chinese in all the games. I wonder how you are feeling?"

"We all know that you are the number one hero of Chelsea to get to where they are today, and we all want to know, after winning the League Cup, what is Chelsea's goal next? League? FA Cup? League Cup?"

"Mr. Gao Han, I am your fan, but I want to ask you curiously, when do you think you will lose?"

More than a hundred reporters rushed over and immediately surrounded Gao Han and all the microphones pointed at Gao Han.

Gao Han was helpless about this and could only respond patiently.

Especially at the end, the Blues players who celebrated their return rushed over to join in the fun and rushed towards Gao Han.
