‘The most expensive guard of honor in history.’ It’s Chelsea’s tears.
Chelsea played the 37th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-2023 season with Mantic City at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 22nd (Korean time). My fate was strange.
Chelsea, who is having the worst season, had to ‘ceremony’ towards Man City, who had confirmed the EPL championship. Manchester City have already confirmed their third consecutive EPL title, as second-place Arsenal lost 0-1 to Nottingham Forest the previous day.토토사이트
The Chelsea players appeared first and lined up in two lines. Then, as the Manchester City players entered, they congratulated the winner with applause. It was a supporting role in ‘Guard of Honor’.
However, Man City started on the bench with key players such as Elling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan that day. It is to prepare for the FA Cup and European Champions League (UCL) finals.
Instead of them, manager Pep Guardiola used backup players such as Stefan Ortega, Sergio Gomez, Rico Luis and Cole Palmer as starters. For them, ‘Guard of Honor’ was a greater honor.
But Chelsea’s pride was cracked. Chelsea invested 600 million pounds (about 1 trillion won) in the two transfer windows this season. The results were the worst. Chelsea are in 12th place in the Premier League.
Some Chelsea fans were outraged. One fan said, “The most expensive guard of honor in history for the Man City B team.”
Of course, there were also objections. It was a request not to forget ‘Guard of Honor’. Another fan said, “Gives Rico Lewis and Cole Palmer Guard of Honor. That’s at least for our players next season’s ‘Big 4’.
