v3 Chapter 1076： It’s not bad to buy a team to play

Seeing Henry's swearing appearance, as if he wanted to pull Xia Yu into the gang, and he really loved Chelsea, Xia Yu laughed blankly.

He and Elena looked at each other, then looked at Henry who looked expectant again, nodded and said: "Okay, I have come to the UK so many times and I haven't watched a football match yet!"

"I promise not to let you down, although Liverpool is very strong, but Chelsea will never lose!" Henry said in a spirited spirit.

"Well, Henry, if you want to always have the strength to cheer for Chelsea, then now you have to fill your stomach."

Hearing what his sister said, Henry calmed down a bit. He shrugged and said to himself: "Maybe, you are right!"

After speaking, he continued to enjoy breakfast.

...

After breakfast, Xia Yu and Elena accompany Henry to join his classmates, and then take a car to Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Stamford Bridge Stadium is the home stadium of Chelsea. It is located on Fulham Road in the west of Fulham, very close to the Thames and the famous King's Road.

This stadium was officially opened in 1877. In the first 28 years, it was almost exclusively used by the London Sports Club, as a venue for sports games rather than as a football field.

It was not until 1904 that HA Mills and his brother J.T. Mills obtained the ownership rights. Before that, they also obtained the land of a large market near the stadium. They planned to build on the 12.5-acre land. To build a football team. Initially this stadium was intended to be used by Fulham Football Club, but Fulham Football Club used a cheaper Craven Farm, so it refused this opportunity.

No way, the unwilling Mills brothers made up their minds to set up a football club.

Because the name of the "Fulham Football Club" that previously represented the Fulham area has been taken up, the Mills brothers changed from "Stamford Bridge Football Club", "Kensington Club", "Chelsea Club", "London Club", etc. The proposal was chosen, and in the end "Chelsea Football Club" became the name.

It is also interesting to say that the Kensington-Chelsea area is next to Fulham, which is also a wealthy area.

Therefore, if foreigners who are not familiar with English football come to London, it is easy to think that Chesil Football Club is located in the Chelsea area, but it is not known that it is located in the Fulham area.

Elena’s residence was in the Fulham area, so it took Xia Yu and others about five minutes to arrive outside Stamford Bridge.

At this time, there are already a large number of fans lining up to check the tickets to enter the stadium. Xia Yu, who is not bad for money, naturally bought the best seats, and even changed the tickets of Henry’s classmates, so that everyone can get together. Mainly for the sake of safety.

After checking the ticket, everyone took the ticket to find the location, and came to the entrance seat of the West Stand. Not far away was the sculpture of King Osgood of Chelsea.

Because the game hadn't started yet, Xia Yu and Elena were chatting together, while Henry chatted very happily with a group of classmates.

As time passed, more and more fans from both sides entered the stadium, and the Stamford Bridge stadium became more and more noisy.

When the Liverpool team in the red jersey and the Chelsea team in the blue jersey entered the stadium, as the music sounded, the whole stadium rang out with deafening cheers. In this atmosphere, Xia Yu had a feeling of blood spurting. .

After introducing the players, the players from both sides dispersed, and with a whistle, the game officially began.

Only a minute or so from the start of the game, the Red Army began a blast offensive. The 20-year-old Liverpool star Ian Rush showed his sharp edge and rushed to the Chelsea goal with the ball.

At this time, there were still many fans who hadn't even entered the stadium, they were attracted by the shocking exclamation, and urgently turned their eyes to the green stadium.

"Oh God, shovel him!"

"Come on, stop him!"

Henry and others beside Xia Yu hugged their heads and exclaimed, panicking at Chelsea's situation.

Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, staring at the red figure dribbling the ball, and a thought flashed in his mind.

Ian Rush, seems to be the super striker of the Red Army Liverpool, who also maintained Liverpool's scoring record, and was even hailed as the greatest striker in Welsh history by fans and the media.

While Xia Yu was thinking about it, Ian Rush and his teammates cooperated tacitly and broke into the Chelsea field. Then he faced the siege of the two and passed the ball to his teammate Kenny Dalglish, this Biye Enrush's more mature and stable super shooter volleyed directly after receiving the ball. The football was against the grass and rushed into the net bag before the goalkeeper fell to the ground to intercept!

The opening two minutes and thirty-two seconds, the Reds scored a goal!

The whole stadium was silent for a moment, and then the Red Army fans uttered a loud cheering, and the larger number of Blue Army fans hugged their heads and wailed, as if they couldn't believe that the team they supported lost the ball so quickly!

Suddenly, swearing, wailing, and even crying, one after another.

Glancing at Henry who was wailing, Xia Yu secretly shook his head.

He already remembered that in history, the late 70s and the entire 80s seemed to belong to Liverpool, which belonged to the legend of the Red Army.

Under the command of the famous Red Army marshals Shankly, Paisley, and Fagan, the Red Army is like a brutal red machine, quickly crushing all the obstacles that stand in front of them, and attacking the city all the way. In 17 years Won eleven league titles, four European Cups, four League Cups, three FA Cups, two UEFA Cups, and a European Super Cup, establishing the supremacy of British football in one fell swoop status.

Because of the Liverpool team, English football has rolled up a red storm in Europe, making many opponents frightened.

The famous Red Army coach Shankly also shouted out some classic words, such as:

"There is no best football team in the world, because the best football team in the world has been killed by Liverpool!"

"There are only two football teams in the world, one is called the Liverpool team and the other is called the Liverpool youth team!"

...

There are many other famous sentences like this.

It is only 1981, and the Heysel tragedy that interrupted Liverpool's glory four years later in history has not yet occurred. At this time, the Red Army is at its peak, and it is difficult for Chelsea to win!

Even occupy the home court advantage!

Suddenly, Xia Yu seemed to have thought of something, caressed Elena's hand, and asked in a low voice in her ear: "Elena, do you remember the current rankings of Chelsea and Liverpool in the league? It seemed to be listening in the car just now. Henry mentioned it, I didn't remember."

Elena smiled sweetly and said softly: "I remember Liverpool ranked first in total points, Chelsea ranked 19th, and only one goal difference from 20th."

"I know."

Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said.

Now there is no English Premier League that can be heard throughout the world, or even the English Championship. The top league in the UK is the English League. There are 22 teams in the entire English League, two more than the subsequent English Premier League.

According to the last three relegation rules, Chelsea are now ranked nineteenth, just on the edge of the relegation zone.

Like the 20th place score, there is only one goal difference, so after this game, it is estimated that you have to enter the relegation zone.

The facts are just as Xia Yu expected.

No matter how the Blues fans cheer for the rest of the time, and no matter how hard the Blues fight, they will not be able to beat the Reds Liverpool.

Throughout the game, the Blues' defense was sifted by Liverpool.

How can a group of blue-collar players of the Blues be opponents of this group of top players in Liverpool?

With a whistle, the game ended. Amidst the helplessness and wailing of the Blues fans, the score was fixed at 4-1!

Chelsea fell into the relegation zone and the situation is precarious!

After leaving the venue, Xia Yu sent Henry's classmates back home, and then together with Elena, took Henry to a high-end garden restaurant.

Looking at Henry who was still lost, Xia Yu and Elena looked at each other, he moved the stool, sat next to Henry, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hey, Henry, want to start. The league has only started for three months, and it’s still early in May. Chelsea still have a lot of opportunities. The low ranking now does not mean that it will continue to fall behind."

Henry raised his head, his eyes flickered, and tried his best to explain to Xia Yu: "Today is just good luck for Liverpool, in fact, Chelsea is very strong but..."

"Well, I can't make it up. Chelsea really sucks. The team I like has bad results. I am in a bad mood today!"

"I'm sorry for asking you to watch such a terrible game. I shouldn't have invited you."

Xia Yu smiled and patted Henry on the shoulder, and said again: "Henry, it's nothing. Chelsea's loss to Liverpool is not ashamed. Look at the number of European giants losing to Liverpool over the years? The score is bigger. There should be a lot of them. If you want to start something, it's nothing. As long as Chelsea continue to work hard, there is still a chance."

When talking about opportunities, Henry looked frustrated, shook his head and sighed: "The opportunity is too slim. Chelsea has no money. It has a problem with its funds. Now the results are so bad, it has entered a vicious circle."

"Maybe next year, Chelsea will be relegated to the second division. Hey...Chelsea is a rich team. In fact, the London market is very good. The market far exceeds Liverpool. It's just that the management is terrible. Mills The family heard that there was another problem with the funds, and there is no money to invest in the transfer."

"If you don't have a star to play, and you can't buy potential new stars, when will Chelsea be able to create its giants..."

Xia Yu's expression moved slightly and asked Henry: "Henry, Chelsea has a financial crisis?"

Henry did not notice the changes in Xia Yu, he subconsciously vomited: "Yes, the Chelsea club itself is in debt, and the Mills family has expanded the Stamford Bridge stadium, which has caused financial constraints. Now the stadium expansion projects have stopped."

Xia Yu looked inexplicable, nodded slightly, and a thought came to mind.

Maybe this is an opportunity.

It's not bad to buy a team to play...
