Chapter 234 I'm the Boss

As Glenshare, Haselbaink, Petit, Deselli, Zora and other players left Stamford Bridge one after another, the remaining people obviously felt a panic, and they were inevitably a little worried.

Who will become the next person to leave?

Ye Qiu had already made full preparations at this point. He called Terry, Lampard, Garras, Kudicini, Goodjohansen, Hasselbaink and Robert Hut, and had some simple communication with them.

It was during this phone call that Haselbaink asked Ye Qiu to give a promise to the main position, but Ye Qiu had no choice. In the end, after negotiating with the agent, the Dutch decided to leave. Ye Qiu was also very frank and did not try to keep him, so he let him go directly.

This incident fully demonstrates Ye Qiu's control and management of this team, and also allows players in the team who are familiar with the inside story to feel the authority of the head coach. That is, anyone who wants to leave can do it.

Landing at Stamford Bridge with the halo of the Champions League championship, Ye Qiu had enough chips to defend this group of stars.

Terry and Lampard both ended their holidays early and returned to London, and attended the team's press conference to announce the joining of Marklele. French star turned to Chelsea at a sky-high price of UU,000 euros, which has become a major news in European and even world football in the past two days.

Real Madrid is taking the money to sell Marklele and is now attacking Vieira, who is striving to win the French midfielder superstar in two months. Vieira, Henry and Ashley Cole are also always quarrel with the club over contract renewal and salary issues. Whether to leave or not is certain.

Marklele's joining, plus Deco, Edgar Davis, Scott Parker and Lampard felt a pressure because he knew very well that these players were in a positional competition with him, and they were all powerful players, especially Marklele and Edgar Davis, who were famous European players.

Thinking of this, Lampard seemed a little depressed, not as happy as Terry.

The latter returned to London one day earlier than Lampard. He had already gone to Harrington to have a detailed discussion with Ye Qiu yesterday. The latter not only promised to give him the highest weekly salary of 90,000 pounds in the Premier League, but also handed over the captain's armband for the new season to him, hoping that he can set an example and play the role of the team captain.

"Don't worry so much, Frank, tell me personally that you are in his plan, and it's very important." Terry patted Lampard on the shoulder and comforted him. He is now the team's captain and needs Lampard's help.

Lampard nodded, but could not hide the worry on his face, because since there were Marklele and Davis in the back midfielder, what else did Lampard want?

At the press conference, Ye Qiu publicly stated that the team's current lineup has made him feel very satisfied. He is able to complete this series of transfer matters before the training camp. He is proud of the club's operational ability. Unless there are another moving players in the transfer market, Chelsea's transfer this summer will be closed.

This is also a signal that Chelsea will use this lineup to strive for the Premier League championship.

No one can deny that Chelsea has established a lineup after investing more than 100 million euros. Almost every player has proved his strength. The key is the tactics and ability of the head coach Ye Qiu.

At this press conference, Ye Qiu did not hide his ambition for the Premier League championship. He said that the team invested so much and only had one goal, that is, the championship. He wanted to strive for the Premier League championship and break the monopoly of Manchester United and Arsenal.

These words sounded exciting to Lampard and Terry, after all, every player wanted to play under a head coach full of ambition and pursuit, rather than playing in a lifeless team.

Ye Qiu also noticed Lampard's appearance, so after the press conference, he walked towards him, said hello, and went to Ye Qiu's office at Stamford Bridge Stadium.

The office was very simple and empty, with a set of desks, chairs, sofas and TVs, and nothing else.

After walking in, turning on the central air conditioner, Ye Qiu asked Lampard to sit casually, while he sat down opposite Lampard.

"First of all, Frank, I have to say that you don't have to worry about your position in the new season, and if you can, I hope you can play all the games, because your role in this team will be huge."

Ye Qiu likes to be straight to the point and doesn’t like those twists and turns, it’s just a waste of time.

Lampard didn't expect Ye Qiu to be so direct, but from Ye Qiu's tone, he also heard that the head coach was not fooling him.

"Maybe you will feel that the team has introduced excellent players such as Edgar Davis, Marklele, Scott Parker, etc. Your position will be shaken, and then you are wrong. In my position, your position is no longer a midfielder, but should be in advance."

When he said this, Ye Qiu smiled, took out a stack of documents from the briefcase beside him, and handed them to Lampard. He saw Lampard's data and photos posted on the cover of the document, and below is his analysis of the game every season.

"I've known you, and Terry, every player the team stayed, left, and introduced, I have a very detailed report and information on my hand, and many people define you as omnipotent. In fact, you are really comprehensive, whether it's defense or offense, it's very comprehensive, but more importantly, you have the will of an English player."

Ye Qiu said this and smiled, "You know, teams from Spain, Italy and Germany contacted me this summer, but I finally came to England. Maybe you will think that Chelsea is more sincere and has a higher salary, but not just that, because if I didn't go to Chelsea, I might go to Tottenham."

"Spurs?" Lampard spoke for the first time, a little surprised.

"Yes, I remember, you almost went to Tottenham, right?" Ye Qiu asked.

Lampard completely believed it because almost everyone thought he had made his debut from West Ham United, but in fact, he once wanted to go to Tottenham because in the early 1990s, Tottenham's football represented sexy and gorgeous in England, which is equivalent to the current Arsenal. Many people are eager to go to Tottenham, such as his good friend Jamie Redknapp.

"You know, I always feel that football is not just about technology, not just about tactics, but also about spiritual and will. I even think spirit and will are more important, because in a game, you are fighting against your body for a long time. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lampard nodded constantly, believing that all professional players understand, because as the physical energy is consumed, you will find that your biggest enemy is not the person standing opposite you, but yourself.

"So I like the environment in England that is full of will to play. Of course, I am not derogating from other leagues, but I think it will be more suitable for me, so I came to England, and in my opinion, you and John Terry will be the pillar of our team and the spokesperson for our Chelsea English football spirit."

Hearing Ye Qiu say this, Lampard couldn't help but believe what he said, because at least, he knew English football.

"Of course, I must also say that the current environment of English football is not very good, because there are great shortcomings in the technical and tactical level, such as controlling the rhythm of the game, controlling the ball, controlling one's own spirit and excitement, all of which must be well controlled so that a team can achieve better results."

"So we have to make some changes. The joining of new players such as Ronaldinho and Deco is to achieve this goal. It is not enough for me to think so. I need all of you to think so because we are a whole."

After hearing this, Lampard nodded heavily again, "I understand, head."

Ye Qiu was satisfied with his attitude, "My hope for you is mainly two points. First, John will be the captain of the team, and you are the deputy captain. I hope you can set an example, play the role of the captain, and maintain order in the locker room. What I hope to see is a disciplined and team-oriented combat force."

After Lampard nodded, Ye Qiu continued: "Second, about you personally, I hope you can better integrate into the team's technical and tactical system. Regarding these, I will talk to you in detail in the next training camp, but I can tell you clearly that my requirements for you have changed, and I need you to be more advanced."

Going forward, this is definitely a big temptation for Lampard, because who doesn't want to be ahead of himself?

"Your duty will no longer be from the penalty area to the penalty area, because we have a clear division of labor and cooperation, and I will shorten your coverage and running range, but I hope you can focus more on the game, and play your strengths and your versatility in ball control, support, offense, defense and oppression."

When he said this, Ye Qiu smiled and patted Lampard on the shoulder, "I have enough confidence that if every player maintains enough concentration and gives his all, we can win everything after the end of the season."

Win everything?

Lampard looked up. This was his previous desire, but he had never realized it, and had not even seen hope.

But now, he really saw hope.

Abramovich's arrival changed Chelsea's situation and injected more funds into the team. Ye Qiu's arrival brought the halo of the European Champions League championship, and also introduced a group of outstanding stars to the team. In addition, his words made Lampard see the hope of the championship for the first time.

"I promise, head" Lampard stood up and agreed seriously.

Although the first game of the new Premier League season will be held on August 17, Chelsea's first game is to challenge Liverpool at Anfield Stadium away, which is the highlight, but this is not the first official game of Chelsea's new season.

Because on August 13, Chelsea will play the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, and only by winning this game can we advance to the official group stage, and this season's Champions League will only adopt a new competition system of one round of group stages.

Ye Qiu can't say who the opponent in this game is yet to be drawn, but Chelsea's pre-season preparations have to be advanced. Therefore, the team gathered on July 7 and the whole team went to the Harrington Training Base to report, conduct a series of physical tests, hold an internal team meeting, and let Ye Qiu meet each player and fly to Austria.

This time, Chelsea selected training camps are not the plateau area in Austria, but in the small town of Ildenin near Graz, which is about 700 meters above sea level. Because we chose to train here, the altitude will not be too high, and the second is that it will facilitate the team to play warm-up matches, and it can also avoid external disturbances.

High-altitude training | Whether it is good or bad, it is hard to say, because football is a team project. High-altitude may be a good thing for this player and bring great help, but it may not be necessary for another person, because the players' bodies are different, and some may even have altitude sickness.

Because of this, Ye Qiu finally chose Yildenin because there is a vacation house with very complete facilities, which combines a series of sports equipment such as hotels, gyms, swimming pools, etc., as well as two high-standard full-size training grounds. Therefore, some teams often choose to train here

Yildening is not high at altitude and is a bit like a plateau training! The effect is, there is no need to worry about the players' excessive reactions. It is quiet and it is indeed an ideal training environment.

After careful and careful testing, the team sent each player a test report, saying who is overweight, how much he is overweight, and some physical injuries are clearly listed, so that all players can be clear about their physical condition.

Ye Qiu directly expressed his request when he first met with the player.

"I like to focus on details. Many times, my attention to details may even make it difficult for you to accept, but from now on, you should learn to accommodate me, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable, such as diet and daily routines."

"My requirements in this regard have been clearly expressed through the locker room discipline manual. I believe you can understand it. During the team training, everyone eats a unified meal, and the recipe is determined by us, and the work and rest time is the same. In the future, I will ask you to do the rest day before the game, and you will do the rest yourself."

After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled and reminded him, "But there are two questions. I want to remind you that no matter who it is, your weight and work and rest do not meet the requirements, or if it affects the game status, you will sit on the bench."

"I heard that in the past, players could accept interviews from reporters at will after each training session of the team. From now on, I will readjust this regulation. If all reporters want to interview players, they must first pass the application. After approval by the coaching team, 15 minutes will be allocated after each training session ends."

"Remember, guys, it's not allowed to apply, or if the time is out of range."

This is also included in the discipline manual, because Ye Qiu has a deep understanding of the development of the British media, and he also knows very clearly that the media cannot invade too much of his team.

London is a decadent paradise in the world of flowers. It would be easier to change a person.

"There is also the team. I like players with a sense of team responsibility. I don't deny that some players are indeed talented, but please remember to integrate your talents and performance into the overall team, because in my team, there will be no one who can surpass the overall and leave the team, and I cannot let those who have no team or sense of responsibility go on the game on behalf of my team."

Integrity is one of the most typical symbols of Ye Qiu coaching Ajax. Many people are amazed at the integrity of this team and admire Ye Qiu for being able to combine so many players together and be compatible.

But Ye Qiu himself knew very well that there could not be a bad sheep in a team. As long as one player's heart was distracted, it would immediately spread to the hearts of every player like cancer cells. By then, the team would be difficult to control it anymore.

So Ye Qiu likes to say things first and write all the disciplines into the manual so that they can all understand their requirements.

"I also think that players who focus on the game and try their best to fight every minute and every second, even if their strength is worse, even if their talent is worse, it doesn't matter, because hard work can make them perform better and better, such players should get more opportunities."

"In my team, all players are equal. No matter where you come from, no matter how much you are worth, or what kind of achievements you have achieved in the past, when you come to me, you are all just players, competing players, there is no absolute division between main players and substitutes, and there is no indispensable role. You are just players,"

"I have to remind you two things. First, in my team, I am the boss, I have the final say."

"Second, I will remind you again, I am the boss of the team and the only indispensable person."

Ye Qiu expressed his attitude and position so strongly at the first internal team meeting, so that everyone present could feel his authority. No matter what they had to do next, at least they had to consider whether they had enough weight to challenge the head coach's prestige.

"Finally, what I want to say is that I know that many of you have many honors, and some may even look down on me in their hearts, think that I am young and have won a Champions League. To me, I don't care, as long as you obey, I don't care, but I want to remind you sincerely, think about it, you came to Chelsea just to get a higher salary? Better treatment? Or do you want to win something on this basis, and prove something?"

"You guys think about it carefully."

In this way, Ye Qiu ended his first internal meeting at Chelsea. After the meeting, I believe many players will be thinking about Ye Qiu's words in their minds.
