"Chelsea have 700-800 employees and they have a lot of worries about the future. For the sake of the whole club, I think it's our responsibility for all of us to show a positive attitude and be tightly focused on everything. Instead of self-pity and resentment. —Thomas Tuchel
After the FA Cup quarter-final 2-0 victory over Middlesbrough, Chelsea manager Tuchel mentioned the team's goals in the post-match press conference, although there are many difficulties after being sanctioned, but the whole team has the responsibility to overcome everything and repay the staff and fans of the team with victory.
In this round of Chelsea's away game against Fort Mi, this Championship team has eliminated Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in succession, becoming the biggest dark horse in this year's FA Cup. Around 600 Blues fans travelled to Riverside Stadium to cheer on the team.
As is customary, Chelsea can allocate 4,600 tickets to the away team, but due to the sanctions imposed by the British government, Chelsea cannot sell any tickets, and 600 fans bought tickets in advance before the sanctions were issued on March 10, so they were lucky enough to get the opportunity to watch. Other tickets are recycled and sold by Miburg.
Chelsea had applied for an empty pitch, which was rejected by the FA, and Chelsea subsequently withdrew the application. Mühleborg officials said that the ticket proceeds of the game will be donated to Ukraine for humanitarian assistance.
Chelsea, who had just finished playing away from home in the Champions League in midweek, rotated some of the main players, with Kante, Havertz and Marcos Alonso not starting, and Gioginho was not in the squad. Lukaku, Sal and Cheek started.
In the opening 15 minutes, Chelsea counter-attacked and advanced, Mount crossed from the right, Lukaku ate a cake in front of the goal, Chelsea led 1-0!
In the 30th minute, Mount scored in midfield and Ziyehnecht, who was 29th birthday on the day of the match, fired a left-footed cannon to give Chelsea a 2-0 lead.
The suspense of victory and defeat was solved early, and the fans became the protagonists of the game. Although chelsea have few fans, the cheering position and momentum are not weak at all. Blues fans even put up banners in the stands that read "Tuchel for PM", praising the manager for stabilizing the squad during difficult times.
Miburg fans "fell into the well", singing to the Chelsea fans: "Where did your boss go?" When Chelsea died, we were all having a party. ”
Chelsea fans once again chanted Abu's name as an expression of support for the boss, while singing: "We all follow Chelsea, over land and sea. ”
Regardless of the recent turmoil, Chelsea and Fort Mi do have some bitter past in history, with Fort Mi beating Chelsea in the 1987-88 season leading to relegation for the Blues. In the 36th round of the 2016-17 season, Conte's Chelsea defeated Fort Mi 3-0, sending Fort Mi to two rounds of relegation in advance, and has not yet been able to return to the Premier League.
After defeating Miburg, Chelsea successfully advanced to the semi-final of the FA Cup, so far, Chelsea has played all the matches in March, and the FA Cup (2 games), premier league (3 games) and Champions League (1 game) have maintained full victory.
In these 6 games, Chelsea have 5 away games, 2 reversals, 1 kill, a total of 15 goals, only 4 goals conceded. In the last 13 games, Chelsea have a record of 12 wins and 1 loss, 8 clean sheets, the only loss is the 120-minute draw in the League Cup final, and the penalty shootout lost to Liverpool.
After the sale of the club in Abu and the sanctions imposed by the British government, Chelsea faced great turmoil and was caught up in a complex whirlpool, and the so-called "sport has nothing to do with politics" turned out to be a ridiculous joke.
But no matter how much difficulties and pressures he faced, Tuchel's players made an exemplary performance of 100 points, fully focused on the game, won the battle, did not complain or cowardly, and deserved to be hat-off.
Brother Meow repeated his previous conclusion: this Chelsea team is indeed an invincible and overwhelming iron-blooded division, and none of them are inferior.
In addition to the good news, Chelsea legend Terry has joined forces with the True Blue consortium to consider buying a 10% stake in Chelsea for £250 million. Terry has publicly confirmed: "Chelsea have occupied a very important 22 years of my life and I hope the club's history and legacy are preserved and our DNA is guarded together with like-minded people." ”
Hopefully, Chelsea's transfer of ownership will have a relatively good result, living up to Abu's enthusiasm, money and hard work in 19 years.
