58-year-old Abu gave up completely! 2.5 billion pounds were frozen for three years, and he angrily criticized the British government: No more buying teams

58-year-old Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, the legendary boss who once led Chelsea from mediocrity to the top, has now completely given up. He no longer fantasizes that the "Blue Bridge Empire" he once built will come back to his own hands one day.

In May 2022, Abram was forced to sell Chelsea, with a transaction amount of up to 2.5 billion pounds. This huge sum should have belonged to him, but to this day, three years have passed, and Abu has not received a penny! The reason is well known - after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the British government quickly took action, freezing Abu's entire UK assets, including the Chelsea club, and forcing it to sell. The 2.5 billion pounds of transfer proceeds were also frozen by the British government and said they would be "used to help the Ukrainian people."

And this "help" has remained in the verbal stage. For three years, the British government still cannot use the money. The reason is that Abu refused to sign and release it - he insisted: the funds should be used "fairly" to help all victims of war, not only Ukraine. In other words, he asked that the money also assist Russian civilians affected by the war. This obviously touches the political sensitivity line. The British government has firmly refused to agree. The two sides have been stalemate until now, and £2.5 billion has been put on hold in the "freeze account" and no one can move.

Recently, Abu finally broke his silence and was interviewed rarely, and publicly talked about the past of Chelsea for the first time. The first sentence he said broke countless Chelsea’s hearts: “I am not interested in playing any role in a football club now. I will never buy a team again in my life.” As soon as this was said, it was officially announced that Abbott completely withdrew from the football world. This behind-the-scenes trader who once made the rise of the Chelsea dynasty was completely expelled from the green world he loved after encountering a political storm. All of this is not because of football, not because of failure, but because of "politics".

Faced with the recent news of "possible prosecution" released by the British government, Abu did not show weakness. He responded directly and with a hint of sarcasm: "We in Russia have an old saying, "The dog is barking, and the caravan continues to move forward. ”

A boss who truly loves clubs and has spent nearly 20 years was pushed to the stage of "forced to leave the field". Abu is one of the most important figures in Chelsea's modern history. In 2003, he acquired Chelsea for 140 million pounds, kicking off the era of "gold-yuan football". Since then, Abu has fulfilled his promise with practical actions - spending money, inviting famous coaches, and introducing top stars. Under his leadership, Chels West: Winning 5 Premier League championships and winning 2 Champions League trophys (2012 and 2021) has one of the most stable performances in the European arena and has become the top giant in the world football world. All of this came to an abrupt end in 2022.

When asked if it is possible to return to Stamford Bridge, Abram did not completely close the door. He said lightly: "Maybe one day, they will allow me to watch a game on site and give a formal goodbye, that's all. ”
