It's not only the cold, but everyone on the Chelsea bus is surprised by the sudden change. They all realize that the problem seems to be very serious, with some ominous premonitions.
Rijkaard, in particular, got up from his seat.
"What are they doing?" The cold is not far from the bus, so you can have a panoramic view of this scene.
Green Wald kept shaking his head, and he was at a loss.
Peter Kenyon came under the bus, asked the driver to open the door and went straight up.
Inside the car, all the Chelsea players were staring at Peter Kenyon. Most of them couldn't believe it, but some of them realized something was wrong and put on a smile of schadenfreude.
For example, Anelka.
This game, he was not entrusted by Rijkaard, which was very dissatisfied. He felt that he was more worthy of a starting place than Drogba and Arshavin, but he could only sit on the bench for 90 minutes.
The car became silent. Many people didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere. They just looked at Peter Kenyon.
After getting on the bus, the chief executive of Chelsea hesitated at first, then shook his head at Rijkaard, who was sitting in the front row. "I'm sorry, Frank. I need to announce something."
Hearing this, everyone realized what it was.
Captain John Terry was the first to stand up. "Peter, as captain of the team, I don't think it's a good time."
"Yes, Mr. Kenyon." Lampard also stood up.
Obviously, they all know exactly what's going to happen.
As a player, many times, many things are not what they can decide or even influence.
But is it right to do this kind of thing in such a place, in such a situation?
"I'm..." Peter Kenyon himself is also a senior football player. He used to work in Nike football department, then came to Manchester United and then came to Chelsea. He knows how to play the rules of professional football.
It definitely doesn't include what he is going to do now, but
"I'm sorry, gentlemen." Said Peter Kenyon, gritting his teeth heavily.
Rijkaard grunted twice, gave a scornful smile, nodded and said, "it's OK, you can tell me."
Peter Kenyon was a little ashamed of his modest appearance.
"The boss and the board of directors are very grateful to Mr. Rijkaard for his contribution and achievements in the past two years..."
Peter Kenyon had to pause and calm down when he said that.
"However, it's a pity that the team's performance this season is much lower than expected, especially in the past game. Both the boss and the management believe that someone must take responsibility for the team's poor performance, and the team must make timely changes and adjustments before the second round."
Although everyone in the carriage had been prepared, they were still stunned and couldn't believe it.
"Now is the right time to make a change, so the boss and the management have unanimously decided that from now on, Mr. Rijkaard will no longer be the head coach of the team."
Every word of Peter Kenyon was floating inside and outside the car. Not only the players in the car, but also the cold and green Wald outside the car were stunned.
Everyone couldn't even hear Peter Kenyon's routine, but a cruel reality came to mind. Rijkaard is out of class!
It's hard to say whether it's the right decision, but it's absolutely ridiculous.
After the game, in the bus of the team, in front of all the players, mercilessly announce the coach's dismissal, which is a great shame for anyone.
This is not only a disgrace to Rijkaard, but also a disgrace to the professional coaches in Europe!
I'm afraid very few people can hear all Peter Kenyon's words, but when he finished, Rijkaard gasped, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
Finally, black swan turned around, looked at the players in the car, left a very bitter smile, turned and walked off the bus, obviously accepted his fate.
When he got off the bus, he saw the cold nearby and came over.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gao Han, I can't go to Allianz stadium to drink with you." Rijkaard chuckled.
Gao Han nodded, also nodded with a smile, "it's OK, any time in the future, as long as you want, call me."
"Good." Rijkaard's eyes turned red, obviously understanding the meaning of high cold, "I'll go first."
The last sentence, how pale and powerless, how helpless.
He was the top superstar in European football in the past, and he was once the hottest top coach in European football. But at this moment, in front of ruthless capital, he was mercilessly teased and humiliated.
Inside, the players of Chelsea watched Rijkaard leave.
"You're going to regret what happened tonight." John Terry cried in a deep voice.
Lampard was also staring at Peter Kenyon with hatred, and didn't take his eyes back for a long time.
Yes, if Rijkaard is to be fired, they will not object to it, nor can they object to it. But should there be at least respect? Anyway, he is also the head coach of Chelsea and a famous European coach. Should he give the other side a little respect and a little face?
Does it have to be so stiff?
Why do we have to leave class in front of everyone?
Can't you wait until tonight?
Peter Kenyon, aware of his fault, bowed his head, turned and got out of the bus.
As a matter of fact, as early as just now, he made an opinion with Abramovich, hoping to save some face for Rijkaard. Even if he is to be dismissed from class, he can call him privately after he leads the team and leaves, or contact him through his agent, and then announce it through the official website. There is no problem.
European professional football fired a head coach, most of them do the same.
But if it's face-to-face firing, especially in the team bus, in front of all the players, it's completely shameful. Although it makes Rijkaard disgraced, why not Chelsea?
Today, Chelsea can treat Rijkaard like this. What about tomorrow?
It's easy to take this breath, but what's the status of Chelsea in the eyes of the head coach of European football?
Even the players of the club, how do they think of the club's practice?
But Abramovich, in his anger, insisted that Rijkaard would not be allowed to stay until tomorrow. Class must end tonight.
Peter Kenyon had no choice but to come to the parking lot, stop the bus of the team and announce the decision on the spot, and everyone's reaction was basically within his expectation.
When Peter Kenyon got out of the bus, he waved to the driver without looking back, indicating that they could go. Then he looked up and saw Gao Han and green Wald standing in front of him.
Obviously, they saw what happened just now.
"Is that necessary?" Gao Han asked in a deep voice.
Peter Kenyon had nothing to say. He even turned his head and did not dare to look directly at the cold.
There are rules in European football. This is obviously a bad way for Chelsea.
Abramovich is happy now, but there are more troubles to come.
"You never really respect football, you never abide by the rules of football, you have money, you have capital, but that doesn't mean you can have everything, you can despise everything."
Gao Han's eyes were fixed on Peter Kenyon. He was really angry.
Not only for Rijkaard, but also for himself.
He has never forgotten how Chelsea framed themselves in those days, but now, how can they tolerate what they have done to Rijkaard?
"Professional football has the rules of professional football, which you know better than me. How did you treat me in those years and treat Rijkaard in this way today? What about tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow? "
When Gao Han said this, he suddenly sneered and called out: "you will pay the price, and it must be the most painful price!"
After that, Gao Han walked to the bus of Bayern Munich without looking back.
Before long, the bus turned around and drove away.
Peter Kenyon was standing in the parking lot with no one, and the cold words seemed to be floating in his ears.
Perhaps, after tonight, it will be very difficult for Chelsea to attract those famous European managers to take over. Unless they have to, they will not take over.
The name of the Blues will rot away with Rijkaard.
…………
…………
In the early hours of the morning, the official website of Chelsea announced the news of coach Rijkaard's dismissal.
The statement first expressed thanks to Rijkaard, and then explained that the team's performance was not good enough to meet the expectations of the fans and the management, so it finally decided to let Rijkaard go.
At the end of the statement, the official announced that the team has officially launched the selection process and will select an excellent manager to lead the team as soon as possible. During this period, assistant coach Wilkins will lead the team to participate in the game.
Although it was in the middle of the night, this sudden statement from Chelsea has caused a huge repercussion in the whole European football world. Everyone thinks that it is because Rijkaard's team lost to Bayern Munich 3-0 at home.
It's not new in the cruel European football world that class ends after a disastrous defeat.
But it was the guardian reporter green Wald's long story the next day that really ignited everyone's anger.
In this report, green Wald describes what he saw with his own eyes in the parking lot, and even adds a few photos to enhance his persuasion.
Through this report, everyone is shocked to find that Abramovich should humiliate Rijkaard in such a brutal way, which is simply unacceptable.
Not only the ordinary fans, but also the professional coaches, and even the Chelsea fans were enraged by the management.
It's too tasteless!
In this way to fire their own coach, there is no gentlemanly demeanor to speak of, or even brutal.
At the end of green Wald's report, there was a special record of the interview on the high cold.
Gao Han said that seeing this scene with his own eyes made him feel extremely angry. This is not only humiliating Rijkaard, but also humiliating all professional coaches and professional football.
"I've never been as angry as I am tonight!" Gao Han said with gnashing teeth.
"I don't know who else would like to coach such a team after what happened tonight. At least, I will not."
Today's high cold is no longer the high cold of 2004, now he, say a word, can arouse the attention of the whole European football.
What's more, it is true that Chelsea have gone too far.
So in just one day, many famous European coaches have come out to support Gao, denounce the barbarism of Chelsea, and even a lot of die hard Chelsea loyalists have come to Stamford Bridge to protest.
And everyone's goal is very clear, will point the spearhead at the backstage, Abramovich.
