    Although Stamford Bridge is located in the West End of London, where wealthy people gather, it is surrounded by old traditional houses.  Everyone knows that Abramovich actually suffered a big hidden loss when he bought Chelsea.  Why do you say that?  The ownership of the home stadiums of most Premier League teams is controlled by the clubs. However, the ownership of Chelsea¡¯s Stamford Bridge stadium is controlled by a company called the Chelsea Owners Committee.  This requires mentioning a piece of history.  The Stamford Bridge stadium was first built to be leased to Fulham, but Fulham did not use it, so the owner of the stadium established Chelsea Club to use this stadium.  In the 1970s, Chelsea was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to transfer the ownership of the Stamford Bridge stadium to the famous London real estate developer Mahle Real Estate, and later to Kafra Real Estate.  When it was in the hands of real estate companies, the Stamford Bridge stadium even came close to being turned into a shopping mall and department store.  It was not until Ken Bates purchased Chelsea for a symbolic pound that he cooperated with the bank to redeem Stamford Bridge Stadium in 1992, and in 1997, through the establishment of the Chelsea Owners Committee,  Raised money from fans to buy outright the ownership of the Stamford Bridge stadium.  In other words, after Abramovich bought Chelsea, he was depressed to find that the stadium was not included!  This is simply more disgusting than a man marrying a woman, only to find out that they are buying one and getting one free.  At that time, Chelsea¡¯s training ground was just north of Heathrow Airport, a shabby place that was almost like an amateur team.  This incident has always been a warning throughout the Premier League.  That is, the water for investing in football is too deep!  Now, eleven years after acquiring Chelsea, Abramovich has been dealing with this owners committee all the time.  He wanted to buy back the ownership of the Stamford Bridge stadium, but the owners' committee wouldn't sell it. ? Okay, you won¡¯t sell it, right?  Isn¡¯t it okay if I move?  If you can¡¯t afford to offend me, can¡¯t you still afford to hide?  Therefore, Abramovich wanted to "open Stamford Bridge. He found the land of the original power plant on the south bank of the Thames River and wanted to buy it and build a new stadium. However, the owners' committee said that they had signed a contract with the club.  According to the agreement, if Abramovich moves out of the Stamford Bridge stadium, he will no longer be able to use the name Chelsea. This is not only a scam for his father, but also for his ancestors! Okay, if you don¡¯t sell it, that¡¯s okay, if you don¡¯t move it, that¡¯s okay.  , Sir, can I expand it? Sorry, no! Why? First of all, Stamford Bridge stadium is surrounded by residential buildings. There is no place to expand unless the residential buildings are relocated. But in the West End of London, how much will it cost?  How much money can it take to acquire such a large piece of land? Besides, although the Chelsea Stadium is here, the surrounding area is not a gathering place for Chelsea fans. If there are fans of your rivals, it will be really  Well, think about the scene where Manchester City demolished the training base right in front of the homes of Manchester United fans. And the most important point is that it is surrounded by residential areas. The expansion is too big and not environmentally friendly, so it will definitely not be approved.  Therefore, the expansion and relocation of Chelsea's Stamford Bridge stadium has been proposed almost every year, but it has been shelved every year. In addition, the transportation in the surrounding area is not very convenient, and it is not even as good as Fulham's Craven Farm subway.  You don¡¯t have to think about standing there. Even the bus station is far away. It¡¯s really inconvenient for fans to come to watch the game. In addition, Chelsea¡¯s results have not been ideal in recent times, and now they are in the rankings.  Downstream, Mourinho's coaching style is not pleasing to the eye, and the Blues' home attendance is also declining. So far this season, Chelsea has played seven rounds of the Premier League, with two wins, two draws and three losses, ranking first in the Premier League.  Fourteenth place. This kind of record is indeed quite bad compared with the glory days of the Blues, but if compared with the past two seasons, it is considered normal. After all, Chelsea has been in the middle and lower reaches in the past two seasons.  Ranking. The only gratifying game this season was the 2-0 victory over Arsene Wenger at home, but if we go back further, it was the 1-2 upset at home by Crystal Palace and the 2-0 defeat at home.  The two-game draw against Swansea was a stark defeat, as was the 0-3 loss to Manchester City and the 1-3 loss to Everton.After experiencing a bad season, Rinho once again had a miserable start. Almost at the beginning of the league, he was greeted by boos from the fans at Stamford Bridge.  There is news that Abramovich finally can't stand it anymore and Mourinho may be dismissed at any time.  But, who knows?  With Chelsea¡¯s current defeated army, facing the wolf-like Saints, fans all know how likely they are to win.  So, even though it was a home game, in fact, on the day of the game, Stamford Bridge looked deserted.  It¡¯s not that there is no one, it just doesn¡¯t look like the football market is hot.  Even if someone counts them specifically, they may find that there are not necessarily fewer Saints fans wearing red and white arrow striped jerseys than Chelsea fans wearing blue jerseys.  Everything that happened in front of the Stamford Bridge Stadium was just like any normal home game. The fans may be happily discussing the arrival of the Saints. They may not be Blues fans, but just come for the Saints where stars gather.  Or maybe they just walk into the stadium mechanically and care about the lack of interest. They are the Saints' hardcore. Watching football is a habit, and losing has become numb.  ¡°According to the data we have obtained from Stamford Bridge, stimulated by the 2-0 victory over Arsenal at the last home court and the star-studded Saints, the home court of this game may reach the level of the last two seasons.  A new high, more than 30,000 fans will enter the stadium. "The Sky TV camera crew was filming the pre-match warm-up, and reporters appeared at the entrance to the Stamford Bridge stadium.  "Now, Chelsea has arrived at the stadium early and started to warm up. Mourinho said that the team will continue its unbeaten record in the past two rounds and will attack the Saints at home." "But according to the feedback from fans before the game  , and looking at the odds offered by bookmakers, it is obvious that most people are not optimistic about Chelsea, because the Saints' performance this season is really outstanding. " "However, two or three days ago, there were media reports.  , Messi, who just joined the Saints this summer, wants to return to Barcelona before the winter break because he has not been able to get a chance to play. Barcelona's media also said that they are ready to take Messi back.  "Although the Saints have repeatedly refuted the rumors, for the Saints who are now in turmoil, there is really not much difference whether there is Messi or not. Many Saints fans even feel that spending a lot of money to bring in Messi is just pure.  It¡¯s just for business reasons.¡± At this moment, the camera focused on the narrow road at Stamford Bridge.  "We saw the Saints' bus coming." "Southampton is about an hour's drive from London, so this time, the Saints did not arrive in London in advance, but arrived at the game time from Southampton.  Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look now!¡± As the most important broadcaster of the Premier League, Sky TV has a privilege that other media does not have, which is to enter the player tunnel and even follow them outside the locker room.  As the bus with red and white arrow stripes slowly stopped at the player tunnel at Stamford Bridge, the door slowly opened, and head coach Carlo Ancelotti got out of the bus.  "This is the head coach of the Saints, the famous Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, with a pair of glasses hanging around his neck. It's really worrying. When he is directing the game, can he see clearly what is happening on the pitch?"  As Ancelotti got out of the car, the players also walked out of the car one after another.  Many Saints fans at the scene had already formed a circle, chanting the name of each player despite the security barriers at Stamford Bridge. After hearing the news, the players also paid tribute to the fans.  The players got out of the car one after another and all went directly into the player tunnel.  But just when everyone thought they were done, suddenly a figure flashed in front of the car door, and a short figure stepped out of the car. Everyone on the scene was stunned when they saw it.  They were stunned for two or three seconds, and then the audience burst into thunderous cheers.  "Messi! Messi!! Messi!!!" Sky TV's location hosts were also dumbfounded, "Oh my God, Messi, we saw Messi!" "Viewers, have you seen it?  We saw Messi stepping out of the car! "This means that Messi has entered the eighteen-man roster for this game. This will be the first time this season!" "Messi, the number one in the world!"  Superstar, after moving to Southampton, he has been kept in cold storage by the Saints. There have been rumors from the outside world. There are even rumors that Messi was unable to getHe wanted to return to Barcelona for the chance to win the competition.  " " But now, we see that Messi has finally entered the game squad!  " "The Saints fans at the scene were shouting Messi's name crazily. Oh my god, this is surprising. There was no news at all before, but Messi actually entered the squad!  " "The fans are crazy. Messi is as shy as ever. He greeted the fans and then got into the tunnel, but we can all clearly see that the fans are very excited.  "Yes, Messi will finally play on behalf of the Saints. After fans around the world have been waiting for three months, Messi will finally play on behalf of the Saints after a long absence. This will be his first appearance in the Premier League."  A game.  " "Oh my God, Messi has entered the players' tunnel, but the fans at the entrance still refused to disperse for a long time. Many fans who came after hearing the news crowded at the entrance. They wanted to see Messi. Argentina  Will the superstar really show up?  " "If Messi plays on behalf of the Saints in this game, will he make the already unstoppable Saints even more powerful?  Or will it disrupt the Saints' original winning streak and pace?  " "No one knows the answer!  " "It seems that countless people are doubting that Messi will follow in the footsteps of superstars such as Veron and Shevchenko and become another bright superstar who has sunk in the Premier League. But regarding this issue, the Saints  He appears confident. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti once said that Messi will succeed in Southampton.  " "Now that Messi is about to play for the Saints, perhaps the questions that we and the fans are concerned about will soon have answers.  ¡± As the Southampton players arrived at Stamford Bridge, the game was about to begin. More and more fans gathered at the scene. When they heard that Southampton had arrived, Messi would play on behalf of the Saints.  At this time, everyone rushed into Stamford Bridge.
