Although Stamford Bridge Stadium is located in the West End where wealthy people gather in London, it is surrounded by old traditional houses.

Everyone knows that Abramovich actually suffered a big loss when he bought Chelsea.

Why do you say so?

Most Premier League teams have their home ownership in the hands of the club, but Chelsea's Stamford Bridge Stadium is controlled in the hands of a Chelsea owners' committee.

This requires a period of history.

The Stamford Bridge Stadium was first built to be loaned to Fulham, but Fulham didn't use it, so the owner of the stadium set up a Chelsea club to use this stadium.

In the 1970s, Chelsea was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to transfer ownership of Stamford Bridge Stadium to Mahler Real Estate, a famous London real estate developer, and later to Kafra Real Estate.

When it was in the hands of real estate companies, Stamford Bridge Stadium almost turned into a shopping mall and department store.

It was not until Ken Bates acquired Chelsea for a symbolic pound that he cooperated with the bank to redeem Stamford Bridge Stamford in 1992. In 1997, he raised funds from fans by establishing the Chelsea owners' committee and fully purchasing ownership of Stamford Bridge Stamford Bridge Stamford.

In other words, after Abramovich bought Chelsea, he was depressed to find that it didn’t include the stadium!

This is simply more disgusting than a man marrying a woman, but finding that buying one gets one get one get one get.

At that time, Chelsea's training ground was in the north of Heathrow Airport, a ragged place that was almost the same as an amateur team.

This incident has been taken as a warning throughout the Premier League.

That is, the water for investing in football is so deep!

It has been eleven years since the acquisition of Chelsea, and Abramovich is always dealing with the owners' committee.

He wanted to buy back the ownership of Stamford Bridge Stadium, but the owners' committee did not sell it.

OK, don’t sell it, right? Can’t I move it back?

I can't afford to offend me, can't I still afford to hide?

So, Abramovich wanted to "Car 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 an agreement with the club that if Abramovich moved away from Stamford Bridge Stamford Bridge Stadium, Chelsea's name would no longer be used.

This is not just a scam, but even a ancestor!

OK, if you don’t sell it, okay, if you don’t move it, it’s okay, you uncle, can I expand it?

Sorry, no!

Why?

First of all, Stamford Bridge Stadium is surrounded by residential houses and has no place to expand unless it is relocated. But in the West End of London, where every inch of land is valuable, how much does it cost to collect such a large piece of land?

Besides, although Chelsea Stadium is here, the surrounding area is not a gathering place for Chelsea fans. Who will bird you?

If there is a mortal enemy fan, it would be...

Well, think about the scene where Manchester City demolished and demolished the homes of Manchester United fans in order to train the base.

Also, the most important point is that the surrounding area is residential areas, and the expansion is too disturbing and not environmentally friendly, so it will definitely not be agreed.

Therefore, the expansion and relocation of Chelsea's Stamford Bridge Stadium is being raised almost every year, but it is stranded every year.

In addition, the surrounding area is not very convenient, and it is even worse than the Craven Farm Stadium in Fulham.

There is no need to think about subway stations, even the bus stops are far away, so it is really inconvenient for fans to come and watch the field.

In addition, Chelsea's performance has not been ideal in recent times, and now it ranks in the middle and lower reaches. Mourinho's coaching style is not pleasing, and the Blues' home occupancy rate is also declining.

So far this season, the Premier League has played seven rounds, with Chelsea winning two wins, two draws and three losses, ranking 14th in the Premier League.

Such a record is indeed quite bad compared to the Blues' glorious period, but it would be normal if compared with the past two seasons. After all, Chelsea has ranked in the middle and lower reaches in the past two seasons.

The only gratifying game of the season was the last home game, defeating Wenger Arsenal 2-0.

But if we trace it back, it would be that we would be upset by Crystal Palace 1-2 at home, and draw Swansea 2-2 at home.

As for the away game, losing to Manchester City by 0-3 and losing to Everton by 1-3, they were all naked defeats.

Mourinho once again had a tragic start after a bad season. Almost at the beginning of the league, Stamford Bridge Stadium welcomed him with booing from fans.

There is news that Abramovich finally couldn't stand it anymore and Mourinho might be dismissed at any time.

But, who knows?

With Chelsea's remnants defeated players, fans know how much chance of winning against the saints who are like wolves and tigers.

So, even if it was a home game, in fact, Stamford Bridge Stadium seemed deserted on the day of the game.

It's not that there is no one, it just doesn't seem to be a hot market.

Even if someone counts it out, they may find that Saints fans wearing red and white arrow shirts may not be much less than Chelsea fans wearing blue jerseys.

Everything that happened in front of Stamford Bridge Stadium is just like the usual home game. Fans are happy to discuss the arrival of the Saints. They may not be Blues fans, but just for the Saints gathered with stars.

Or they were walking into the court with uninterested machinery. They were the Saints' hardcore, watching the ball was a habit, and losing the ball became numb.

"According to the data we got from Stamford Bridge Stadium, the 2-0 win over Arsenal in the last home court and the star-studded Saints, the home court of this game will likely reach a new high in the last two seasons, with more than 30,000 fans entering the stadium."

The crew of Sky TV showed up before the pre-game theme, and the reporter appeared at the entrance of Stamford Bridge Stadium.

"Now, Chelsea has arrived at the stadium in advance and started warming up. Mourinho said that the team will continue the unbeaten record of the past two rounds of the game and will snipe the Saints at home."

"But based on the feedback from fans before the game and the odds offered by the 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, media reported that Messi, who just joined the Saints this summer, was reluctant to get the chance to play and wanted to return to Barcelona before the winter break. The Barcelona media also said that they were ready to take Messi back."

"Although the Saints repeatedly deny rumors, for the saints who are now unstoppable, there is actually not much difference between having Messi or not. Many Saints fans even think that the introduction of Messi is purely for commercial considerations."

At this moment, the camera was aimed at the narrow road of Stamford Bridge Stadium.

"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 early, but instead set out from Southampton at the time of the game."

"Let's take a look with me now!"

As the most important broadcaster in the Premier League, Sky TV has a privilege that other media do not have, that is, to enter the player channel and even follow outside the locker room.

As the bus with red and white arrow stripes slowly stopped at the player passage at Stamford Bridge Stadium, the door was slowly opened and head coach Ancelotti got out of the car.

"This is the head coach of the Saints, the famous Italian coach Ancelotti, with a pair of glasses hanging around his neck. It's really worrying. Can he see clearly what's happening on the court while directing the game?"

As Ancelotti got off the car, the players walked out of the car one after another.

Many Saints fans at the scene had already formed a circle, and under the obstruction of the security guards at Stamford Bridge Stadium, they shouted the names of each player. After hearing the movement, the players also greeted the fans.

The players walked out of the car one after another and all got into the player's passage.

But just when everyone thought they had finished walking, suddenly a figure flashed in front of the car door, and a short figure walked out of the car. Everyone at the scene was stunned when they saw it.

He was stunned for two or three seconds, and then there was a burst of cheers like thunder in the audience.

"Messi! Messi!! Messi!!!"

The outdoor host of Sky TV was also stunned, "Oh my God, Messi, we saw Messi!"

"Dear viewers, have you seen it? We saw Messi getting out of the car!"

"This means that Messi has entered the 18-man roster of this game, and this will be the first time this season!"

"Messi, the world's number one superstar, has been kept cold by the Saints since he transferred to Southampton. There have been rumors outside that Messi wants to return to Barcelona because he doesn't get a chance to play."

"But now, we see Messi finally making it to the roster!"

"The Saints fans at the scene were shouting Messi's name wildly. Oh my God, this is a surprise. There was no news before, and Messi was actually on the roster!"

"The fans are crazy, Messi is still as shy as ever. After greeting the fans, he entered the player channel, but we can all clearly see that the fans seem very excited."

"Yes, Messi is finally going to represent the Saints. After fans around the world have been looking forward to it for three months, Messi, who has been missing for a long time, will finally represent the Saints. This will be his first game in the Premier League."

"Oh my God, Messi has entered the player channel, but the fans at the entrance still refuse to disperse for a long time. Many fans who heard the news are crowded at the entrance. They want to see Messi, will the Argentine superstar really appear?"

"If Messi appears for the Saints in this game, will he make the already unstoppable Saints even more powerful? Or will it disrupt the pace and pace of the Saints' original winning streak?"

"No one knows the answer!"

"It's like countless people are doubting that Messi will step into the back of superstars such as Peron and Shevchenko, becoming another brilliant superstar who has fallen in the Premier League. However, the Saints are full of confidence in this issue. Head coach Ancelotti once said that Messi will succeed in Southampton."

"Now, Messi is about to appear on behalf of the Saints, and perhaps the questions we and the fans are concerned about will soon have answers."

As Southampton players arrive at Stamford Bridge Stadium, the game is about to begin.

More and more fans gathered at the scene. When they heard that Southampton had arrived and Messi would play for the Saints, they all rushed into Stamford Bridge one by one.

Even media reporters who were not very concerned about the first time came to Stamford Bridge Stadium to buy tickets and enter the venue.

Messi's Premier League debut is rare and will definitely be the front page headline tomorrow. Who would like to miss it?
