The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Sunday, a little bit late, I hope readers don’t pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise not to stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

Ranieri led Chelsea to eliminate his former club Fiorentina, and the news of advancing to the UEFA Champions League final despite no one's expectations caused a magnitude [-] earthquake in European football!

The most successful European club in the past ten years, the defending champion of the Champions League, Fiorentina, was actually killed by a mere Chelsea team?How can this be? !After the vast majority of people heard the news, the shock in their hearts could not be increased.They never thought that Chelsea could actually kill Fiorentina in the semi-finals!

For this result, the English media was naturally extremely excited. Early the next morning, they wrote articles to praise Chelsea, proudly declaring that Chelsea was the strongest team in Europe—they All selectively forgot how one-sidedly looked down on the Blues just the day before the second round, thinking that Ranieri's team would not suffer a disastrous defeat in front of Fiorentina, even if it was the greatest contribution to English football .

This kind of argument from the English media made these non-English clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and the Milan duo, deeply dissatisfied.After all, the map shot released by the English media this time is a bit too big: Chelsea only won once against Fiorentina and dare to blow it up as the strongest in Europe, so don’t you take us too seriously? up?

In fact, even England's domestic teams are very unhappy about this, especially the two clubs Manchester United and Arsenal, who also believe that the media's praise of Chelsea is too much.You know, in the current Premier League, Manchester United and Arsenal are the well-deserved top teams. Although Chelsea has achieved certain results in the past ten years, no matter from the historical background or the recent honors, The Blues are not worthy of the title of "Europe's strongest".

If Chelsea really don't know what to do and dare to respond to the media's flattery, then what awaits them next must be the tenacious resistance of countless teams.Because these Premier League teams usually play against Chelsea, they are naturally well aware of the true level of the Blues, so once they have the opportunity to expand their influence, and the price is only to beat Chelsea, then these teams will be very happy to accomplish this task.

Fortunately, it is Claudio Ranieri, a prudent good old man who is now coaching Chelsea, not a guy who is high-profile and arrogant or is not good at communicating with the media, so this did not cause more trouble.With the efforts of tinkerers, Chelsea successfully transferred these hatred values ​​to the English media in a very timely manner, so that they did not make themselves the target of public criticism and became the target of everyone's fire.

Along with this voice of dissatisfaction, there are countless coveted eyes.After all, these Chelsea players really stole the show in the Champions League this time, and the achievement of eliminating Fiorentina added a lot to their resumes.At the same time, this also made more teams have a strong interest in Chelsea players.

For most team managers, poaching a team like Chelsea, which has proven its own strength but is burdened with huge debts, is the most happy thing they can do.Because at this time, they can often complete one or more transfer transactions at a price much lower than the market price.

Poaching such a team can not only enhance its own strength and bench depth, but also save the club a sum of transfer funds. Who would not be willing to do such a good thing?

I believe that this summer, there will be countless teams aiming at Chelsea, which is suffering from financial crisis, and making ideas on them.Of course, the premise is that before the opening of this summer's transfer window, Chelsea do not find someone who is willing to wipe out their debts.

This is also the main reason why Chelsea's current boss, Bates, is not happy until now.Because until this time, he still has not received an offer with enough sincerity for the acquisition of Chelsea.In other words, the stingy boss thinks that those acquisition offers for Chelsea are "insufficient in sincerity".

Of course, what made Bates feel the most heartache was that he actually agreed to the Inter Milan club's offer of 1300 million euros for John Terry during the winter transfer period that just passed.According to the current market situation, the native England central defender who made Vieri mediocre in the two semi-final games can sell at least 500 million euros more!

500 million euros!Bates' heart bleeds with pain at the thought of the loss.Nothing keeps the notoriously penny-pinching boss up at night more than the loss of money.

By the way, even though Terry’s value is much lower than that of players like Ferdinand who also have an English registered permanent residence, in fact this is mainly due to the current economic situation, and Chelsea is indeed in urgent need of big money. A sum of money made up for the shortfall, which allowed Inter Milan to get Terry's transfer at a low price of 300 million euros.

After Fiorentina is out, the next is the contest between AC Milan and Monaco. The winner of these two teams will get another place in the 03-04 European Champions Cup final, and then on May 5. Compete with Chelsea for the final championship trophy.

Although Ancelotti made the team guarantee the league ranking and concentrate on the Champions League, the abacus was very good, but the final result was not so satisfactory-in this Champions League semi-final with Monaco In the second round of the final, AC Milan, which had a clear advantage in book strength, was successfully overturned by this Ligue [-] powerhouse under the excellent situation of winning [-]-[-] in the first round.Real Madrid abandoned player Morientes and Croatian center Pursau each scored a goal in the game to help Monaco beat the Rossoneri [-]-[-] at the Stade Louis II!

In the end, with the total score of the two rounds tied at [-] to [-], AC Milan was blocked from the Champions League final by Didier Deschamps' Monaco because of the lack of away goals!

In this way, when the curtain of the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup slowly fell, the two clubs that were considered the most promising to win the championship trophy, AC Milan and Fiorentina, both fell outside the final gate, while Monaco and Chelsea unexpectedly joined Gelsenkirchen, and they will start a fierce battle for the championship trophy that is already within reach at the Schalke Stadium!
