Chapter 249 The Curse of the Best Coach of the Month
It was almost noon, 10 o'clock.
On the training ground of the Harrington Training Base, Ye Qiu blew the whistle at the end of the training on time. More than 20 first-team players were all sweating profusely and breathing heavily. He bent under the hazy British sky and gasped heavily.
Some people say that it is difficult to see the sunshine in London in winter, and it is the same today.
As Chelsea's performance gradually improved, some Chelsea fans began to come to the Harrington training base. Although Ye Qiu made special arrangements, they could not see the training situation of the first team, but they could hear some sounds. After each training class, the team will arrange players to come out to receive the fans.
Usually, big-name stars come from this kind of thing, so those who follow the first team to train! The young players are all very conscious. After the training class, they pick up the things and walk into the locker room.
I heard from the two captains of the team that they were lucky. If they were put a few years ago, they would have to help the old seniors shine their shoes.
"Robin, Sesque, Leo, Frank"
As soon as I walked out of the training ground, I heard head coach Ye Qiu shouting the names of four players on the sidelines.
All the players who were originally planning to walk to the locker room stopped and wanted to hear what Ye Qiu said.
"You four go to the fan reception area." Ye Qiu arranged the task.
"We?" Messi and Fabregas were both a little surprised. Relatively speaking, Van Persie was already used to it.
When Feyenoord was at the team, he was the hope star of the team. He even won the title of the Dutch New Three Musketeers who were on par with Van der Fate and Robben. Therefore, he received no less fans in the Netherlands. However, after coming to Chelsea, the team gathered in big names, and any one of them picked out on the bench was better than him, so he rarely participated.
"Yes" Ye Qiu smiled. After the team played the League Cup strong knockout round, young players including Messi, Fabregas, Van Persie and Ribery became famous all of a sudden. Many British and European media wanted to interview them, but Ye Qiu refused such an arrangement with the power of the head coach.
Without Ye Qiu nodding or acquiescating, players are not allowed to accept interviews in private. This regulation and discipline manual contains it.
But Ye Qiu also knew very well that they were all young people, especially Ribery. This guy was so angry that he was crazy about becoming famous and refused to accept interviews. The players must have some knots in their hearts, so he used this method to compensate and let them establish some influence in the hearts of the fans.
Don’t underestimate these diehard fans who come to the Harrington training base. Now is the information age. Once they spread, they will soon spread in Chelsea’s fan group.
"From today, you have to start learning to be professional players in the Premier League, especially you, Frank, you are one of our iconic characters now. Pay attention to your image and don't scare those little girls, do you know?" After saying that, Ye Qiu couldn't help laughing.
Ribery has a close relationship with Ye Qiu. When he came to the Premier League, Ye Qiu came to find him personally. Later, he found a house and took his wife to live in the Premier League. Ye Qiu helped everything, so he naturally felt close to Ye Qiu and was able to make jokes on weekdays, even if it was a scar on his face.
This also made Ye Qiu admire Ribery's character very much, open-minded and cheerful, and not care about details.
The so-called iconic Chelsea figure starts with the nickname given to Chelsea by the English media. They say that Chelsea is the ugliest team in the Premier League and even Europe, and then teases several scary players in Chelsea as ugly as the Blues, including Ribery, Ronaldinho, Drogba, Davis and others.
The first team players generally had not left the training ground. When Ye Qiu teased Ribery, they all laughed one by one. Ronaldinho, who was also quite amazing, but had a very open personality, whistled directly, copied what Ye Qiu had said before, and sang in a sarcastic tone: "I'm ugly, but I'm gentle."
Seeing that this guy was actually dancing with a samba, everyone burst into laughter.
"Battle Tooth, where are you going?" Ribery's fearless personality was cursing.
Ronaldinho clenched his fist and picked his teeth with his thumb, "I am a cute tooth, you are a scary scar."
This immediately caused the French to have a shadowless leg, but the Brazilians directly avoided it.
"I'm thinking about it. Another day, Yu Qian finds an opportunity to put you out and make all the reporters enjoy it. What do you think? Maybe you can become famous in one fell swoop, and there is also a nickname called the Four Ugly in the Premier League." Ye Qiu smiled from ear to ear. He likes to take this opportunity to joke with players and make relationships.
"Head, just put the three of them, don't count me." Drogba was more loyal and shook his head and refused immediately.
Edgar Davis is a relatively withdrawn person and is not sociable. He just stands aside and listens without talking. He basically doesn't participate in the affairs between his teammates, but everyone knows that once he walks onto the court, he is the one who works hardest.
"Okay OK, go, future stars." Ye Qiu smiled and clapped his hands, signaling Messi and Ribery to go.
Ye Qiu pays great attention to communication with players. He refuses media interviews with several rookies. He just refused here, but he asked the players to tell them about this matter, and then expressed his intentions so that they all understand that they do not want them to be influenced by the media more, and also take this opportunity to hit and beat these guys who performed well.
Young players must not be complacent as soon as they perform slightly
Ye Qiu has always believed in a principle. The world now has passed the so-called era when the wine is not afraid of deep alleys. It is like Eason Chan's song "Bicycle" sang: Don't assume that I know that everything is done for me, why is it so great and so unsatisfied.
It means that you have to say your mind. If you don’t say it, others can’t feel it, and you don’t know at all. Do you have to let others guess everything? And you have to know that guessing is actually a rift, and doubt itself represents a kind of barrier.
Taking advantage of the League Cup, the main lineup was rested. On Saturday, the team went north to Liverpool and challenged Everton away.
David Moyes' first season in charge of Everton was undoubtedly very amazing. He ranked 15th in the Premier League in 0 seasons, and brought Everton, who was nearly relegated, to the Premier League first and even entered the European competition qualification zone for a long time. He can be said to be the most outstanding dark horse in the Premier League last season, and the other is Blackburn, whose performance has gradually improved by Sones.
But a very important reason for the so-called dark horse is that the opponent does not understand him. You should know that in the fiercely competitive league, the competitiveness of professional club teams is like sailing against the current, and if you don’t advance, you will retreat. Especially for such teams that strive to rank high, signings and investment are even more necessary.
Everton has no idea to strengthen the team's strength this summer. Whether it is Chinese player Lu Tie or Nigerian player Yabo, they were loaned last season and bought out this season. The team's lineup has basically remained unchanged. They are also the only team among the top ten teams in the Premier League last season with almost no changes in the lineup.
This makes it possible that even though Moyes has enough strength to ensure that the team's combat effectiveness is not inferior to last season, the problem is that with other opponents making large-scale signings, Everton's strength is on a downward trend, so the team's performance in the new season is very bad and always hovering around the relegation zone.
Moyes still ranks 44 tactics when he faces Chelsea at home. Chinese player Lu Tie did not appear on the roster, which also shattered the wishes of those Chinese who hope to see three Chinese appear in the Premier League at the same time, but Ye Qiu's Chelsea performed well as usual.
At the 8th minute of the game, Lampard took the lead in breaking Everton's goal and opened the first record for Chelsea.
Less than 10 minutes later, Ronaldinho received another assist from Drogba and won another goal, 0
After scoring two goals in a row, Chelsea's morale is more strong and the players' performance is more patient. On the other hand, Everton began to counterattack. In the 33rd minute, Ronaldinho and Evra from the left hit a counterattack. Evra got the player from the middle to follow and then made a cross from the left side of the penalty area. Lampard headed the ball near the goal post.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Everton still did not show enough competitiveness when facing Chelsea, which was like a wolf. In the 50th minute, Deco shot from behind and shot Yabo in the penalty area, turning into Everton's goal, and finally locked the score at 40.
The team's young forward Wayne Rooney ran all over the middle and frontcourt, as if he had endless physical energy, almost chasing Chelsea's pass. The fighting spirit even Ye Qiu nodded in the sidelines.
But one person could not stop a team in the end, and Chelsea eventually crushed Everton 40 away games.
After the 1st round, Chelsea led Arsenal, which ranked second, with many U points, because in the 10th round of the league, Chelsea defeated Manchester City, but Manchester United lost to Fulham three times, and Arsenal also drew Charlton away, which expanded Chelsea's lead to U points.
Seeing that this round of away game defeated Everton again, the entire Premier League was surprised by Chelsea's outstanding form and stable results.
The English Guardian used the word "light" to describe the gap in strength between Chelsea and Everton in this game, believing that Moyes's team will find it difficult to compete with Chelsea, which is determined to compete for the league championship.
"Today, Abramovich went to Goodison Park Stadium with the team. From his departure with a satisfied smile, we can see his satisfaction with the Blues. After the game, our reporter met the rich Russian in the VIP lounge. The three bodyguards around him stopped the reporter from approaching, but the Russians took the initiative to say hello to our reporter."
"In an interview, Russian rich people highly praised this Chelsea, believing that this Chelsea performed very well in this game, creating a lot of opportunities, but also wasted a lot of opportunities. He felt that this was not the most perfect Chelsea. He hoped to bring the most perfect and strong team to all the Blues and Premier League fans."
"We have to sigh at Abramovich's big moves and have to be amazed by Chelsea's strength. At the same time, we have reason to believe that the resources Ye Qiu has in Chelsea are enough for all the head coaches in the world to feel envious and jealous, because he has so many outstanding stars at the same time
"It is revealed that Chelsea next aims at three lines of signings. The defense line hopes to introduce a central defender, targeting AC Milan's Nesta, and the midfielder hopes to get Nedved of Juventus's Nedved, and the forward line is still struggling to pursue AC Milan's Shevchenko, Arsenal's Henry and Everton's Rooney."
"When our reporter asked a question, the Russian rich man obviously did not deny this news, but he also made it very clear that what the team needs to introduce is not the final word, and the head coach has the final word, but he promised that as long as the team needs it, Ye Qiu believes that it is necessary to introduce it, no matter who it is, Chelsea spends no matter how much or the price it costs."
"Excellent main lineup, a bench lineup composed of top European and Premier League players, and a talented and talented rookie, such a Chelsea team does have the ability to sweep the Premier League and even make a big splash in the Champions League."
Ye Qiu's comment on this report from the Guardian was not very high, because he vaguely noticed that the real purpose of this report was to weaken Ye Qiu's role and focus on the team's strong lineup.
In fact, there is another subtext for this report, that is, such a strong lineup, if anyone is the head coach, it will be enough to achieve the current results. Isn’t this obviously a suppression of Ye Qiu?
Of course, no matter what the reporter media said, Ye Qiu was not interested in taking care of it, and he couldn't control it, so he just cared about his team.
After playing Everton, the team challenged Lazio away.
At the Olympic Stadium in Rome, both sides played in a stalemate in the first half. Although Chelsea took the lead in the first minute with Ronaldinho's goal, their performance was not very good. Lazio's defense was very steady and did not give Chelsea too good a chance.
However, before the first half was about to end, Mihailovic's foul on Drogba made him sent off by the referee's red card, which directly led to Ye Qiu's heavy pressure on the attack in the second half. This time, Ye Qiu replaced Parker, who replaced Marc Lele's starting lineup, and went up to play on the right.
Chelsea's overall lineup then became 3I Davis and Deco formed a double midfielder, Ronaldinho, Lampard and Ribery formed a frontcourt, and Evra, Cannavaro, Terry and Macon in the back line.
In the entire second half, Lazio, who had one person missing, obviously could not withstand Chelsea's massive pressure. In the UU minute, Drogba, Macon and Lampard scored three goals in a row for Chelsea, respectively, and finally helped Chelsea beat Lazio 40 away games.
In this way, Chelsea advanced from the group stage with an outstanding record of four consecutive victories in the first round of the group stage and won the first place in the group, which also made Ye Qiu decide to arrange substitutes to play in the remaining two rounds of the Champions League group stage, and the team is doing their best to compete in the Premier League to prepare for the upcoming winter break.
Back in the Premier League, Chelsea welcomed Newcastle.
Many media once again exaggerated the curse of the best coach of the month before this game, but it was not aimed at Ye Qiu, but at Newcastle's Bobby Robson. The old coach just won the best coach of the month in October, and the team's number one star Hiller also won the best player of the month.
Throughout October, Newcastle won four consecutive victories and chased after the top three Premier League, and is currently ranked fourth in the Premier League. With the fourth consecutive victories in October, although his condition has declined after entering the 1st month, he still tied with Aston Villa, which made many people have high hopes for Newcastle's trip to London, hoping that the Magpie can snipe the Blues.
Ye Qiu is the best coach of the month in September, but when he met the best coach of the month in August, he was tied by Wenger, ending the team's winning streak. Now it is October's best coach of the month, Bobby Robson, meets the best coach of the month in September, and many people are curious whether the curse of the best coach of the month will continue?
The entire British media are hyping this topic, and even on the Internet, the fans of both teams are crazy, some support and some deny it, but no one expected that the final result of the game would be so amazing.
The game started as always with Ye Qiu style. After the opening, Chelsea took advantage of his home advantage to attack, while Newcastle was forced to retreat. However, in the first minute, right back Maicon made a big shot at the front of the penalty area, opening the first record for Chelsea and opening the door to victory.
But just after conceding the ball, Newcastle was not firmly established, in the minute, Drogba received a cross from Evra from the left in the penalty area, headed the ball, Newcastle goalkeeper Jiwen missed the save, Ronaldinho followed and scored a shot from the chaos, further expanding the score to 0
After that, Chelsea's offensive relaxed, but when the time entered 40 minutes, Chelsea launched another round of attack. Davis intercepted the ball in the frontcourt, Deco passed the ball over the long pass and fell straight behind Newcastle's defense line. Lampard inserted it and shot directly, expanding the score to 30 again.
The game has been held at present, and there is no suspense at all. Even the famous Sky TV station's famous speaker Andy Gray, who was in charge of the on-site commentary, couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that the curse of the Premier League's best coach of the month has come true again, because no one can explain it. Why did Newcastle, who was in a hot state before, lose so miserably at Stamford Bridge Stadium?
In the second half, when Ronaldinho scored another goal and Drogba followed him and received Evra's cross from the left and headed the ball, the score was finally locked at 0.
The Blue Army Storm also completely shocked the entire Europa with the victory of this powerful dialogue. Many media even exclaimed, quoting a sentence Ye Qiu had said in the past, and then he would create another wealthy family if he gave money and time.
Chapter completed!
