Since 2003, Arsenal shares have changed hands many times.
At that time, Usmanov had not yet gotten involved in Arsenal, and Kroenke did not own a dime of shares.
Abramovich was immediately attracted by the beautiful Gunners offensive football.
The Premier League season rankings are either first or second. There is no need to compete for fourth place. You can play in the Champions League every year.
He immediately asked Swiss bank UBS to investigate.
The result is: "No matter how much money you spend on Arsenal, you can't buy this club. It's not about money."
David Dein, the then vice-chairman of Arsenal, almost vomited blood when he heard the news and cursed the UBS investigators ten thousand times in his heart!
The whole world knows how terrifying Arsenal were in those two seasons, with undefeated golden goals.
If Abramovich's investment is added, a red and white terrifying monster will be born in the Premier League ahead of schedule!
late.
It only took Abramovich 20 minutes to spend £140 million to complete the acquisition of Chelsea.
You know, when Bates bought Chelsea in 1982, he only spent 1 pound.
The idea is wonderful.
In fact, Arsenal's original board of directors was a group of established aristocrats in England.
How could Abu have the patience to wait for their stinky and long discussion period?
Chelsea's board of directors is better, simple and crude.
Who should Chelsea thank?
Thanks to Glenchard.
In the last round of the Premier League in the 2002-03 season, this guy defeated Liverpool with one pass and one shot, allowing Chelsea to qualify for the Champions League, prompting Roman Abramovich to complete the acquisition, and start the wealthy model at Stamford Bridge. Since then, a blue giant has been born in the Premier League. beast.
However, Grenchar's subsequent fate was a bit bumpy.
Suffering from depression.
Rumors from teammates: The cause may be related to his liking to practice heading the ball. He is not a very good player at heading the ball.
FIFA has one more heading case, which indirectly prompted the youth academies of the five major leagues to ban underage players from practicing heading.
Forget the bloodbath that marked Wenger's thousand-game milestone.
At this point in time, although Arsenal and Chelsea are in the same city, the relationship between the clubs is not tense.
It was even jokingly called: a family in London.
There have been a number of transfers between the two clubs.
For example: Benayoun on loan, Petr Cech at a bargain price.
Fans on the Asian online forum also made more exaggerated remarks: "Cha Na's family is a family, sisters in London."
However, the golf course guides on both sides were still making fun of each other.
Pre-match press conference.
Reporters suddenly discovered that Chelsea's player representative had been replaced by Fabregas.
People gathered around and asked questions.
"Cesc, do you have anything to say about your return to the squad today? Are there any problems between you and Conte?"
Fabregas shook his head: "There is no problem between me and Conte. He is the same as Guardiola. You just need to strictly implement their tactical arrangements. You don't need to ask why."
"This style of manager will make you win championships before you know it."
The media room is very small.
It's not Abu Chi.
It was because Liverpool and Brighton complained that the visiting team dressing room at Stamford Bridge was too small.
In a rage, Abramovich expanded the area of the visiting team's locker room and reduced the area of the media room.
We also installed ten shower heads for the visiting team!
You know, there are only six shower heads in the home team locker room!
at the same time.
Wenger and Conte also came to the press conference.
The relationship between the two is very good.
In the early days of Conte's coaching, he was called the successor of Wenger.
And he himself often said: Wenger is one of the greatest coaches.
"Arsenal is a popular candidate for the championship. This kind of game does not require me to make a pep talk. Chelsea players will be full of motivation for the championship."
"Conte has led the craze for three-centre-back tactics, and Chelsea may be the strongest opponent Arsenal has faced this season."
Stamford Bridge Stadium.
Some Blues fans sang "Blue Is The Color".
The cheerful and naughty tune sounds like a children's song.
In the stands, the huge Chelsea flag Tifo suddenly fell down.
The Stamford Bridge Library also transformed into a blue giant at this moment.
“Keep the Blue Flag Flying High!!!”
The blue team flag flutters in the night wind.
Posters of the football stars were held high.
Chelsea fans in this historical period are happy.
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers."
"The live broadcast for you now is the 2016-17 season, the focus of the Premier League!"
"Chelsea v Arsenal at home."
“Four years ago, Wenger’s milestone of 1,000 games was exactly when he was slaughtered by Chelsea 6-0!”
"Can he avenge his shame tonight?"
"Let's wait and see!"
"The battle for the top of the Premier League is about to begin!"
A thousand celebrations were massacred, just like an eightieth birthday.
The thousand milestone games of that year confirmed another of Wenger's curses: every time he coached a hundred games, he could not win.
Lost to PSV in the 600th game.
Lost to Porto in the 700th game.
The 800th game was lost to Birmingham.
The 900th draw with Norwich City.
Slaughtered by Chelsea in the 1000th game.
certainly.
In recent seasons, Arsenal has not yet completed its revenge and only defeated Chelsea 1-0 in the Community Shield.
The best result for the rest of the games is a draw.
Last season, they were beaten twice by the opponent in the Premier League.
Player tunnel.
Cech subconsciously stood in the first row of Chelsea's queue.
He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Terry. Then he realized that he was in the wrong team.
He quickly scratched his tank hat and stood back in the Arsenal queue.
Players from both sides couldn't help laughing, but Courtois had a cold expression.
"plum"
Li Kang heard someone calling him, looked down and saw that it was the shy Kanter.
The two laughed and high-fived.
In the European Cup semi-finals, Shorty Little Black Egg left a deep impression on him.
In a sense, Kanter is the most suitable midfield partner for Li Kang in this era.
After a while.
The queue is moving.
The referee team led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.
Every Chelsea player reaches out and touches the Chelsea crest on the wall.
The meaning of this action is very simple: I love Chelsea deeply and hope that the team logo will bring me good luck.
Only Kante didn't touch.
It's not that he doesn't love Chelsea deeply.
It's just because I'm too short that I can't reach out and touch it.
"The following introduces you to the lineups of both sides!"
