Ye Qiu: The Premier League is just the beginning, let's put the Blue Lion Flag on the top of Europe
The next day, the front page headlines of major British newspapers were undoubtedly reporting on Chelsea's unbeaten record and successfully won the Premier League championship. Although everyone was mentally prepared for this, many people even believed that if they had not insisted on fighting on two fronts, Chelsea would have won the championship earlier, but they are still excited about this matter.
In the words of Times columnist Martin Samuel, "All fans who truly love football should be proud of their ability to experience such a season in their lives, not only for Chelsea's unbeaten championship, but also because Arsenal also ended this season with an unbeaten record but ultimately missed the championship."
"It's an epic season. You know, in the history of English football, before this season, only one team had an unbeaten record, that is, in the 18RR1889 season, the first season of the English Football League, it was a league composed of teams that seem to be very low in professionalism. Princeton won the league championship that season with an unbeaten record and won the FA Cup and achieved a double championship."
"It was only after 115 years that England football once again had an unbeaten record in the season, and what shocked everyone was that two teams had unbeaten records in this season, which was enough to be the most legendary season in English football history this season."
"For this Chelsea who can complete this season unbeaten and successfully reach the Champions League final, anyone will find it difficult to use effective adjectives to describe this team with almost no shortcomings, because even as an opponent, it is difficult to find shortcomings in this team, so Ferguson said that only natural disasters and major accidents can stop Chelsea."
"I still remember that when answering reporters' questions before the game, Ye Qiu refused to call the team immortal. He thought such an adjective was a bit too much, and he even felt that the team was not invincible. But in fact, it is not difficult to find that whether it is a professional, a newspaper reporter, or a fan, they will not be stingy with praise for Chelsea."
"When I asked some senior journalists who have been in the industry for many years how they evaluated Ye Qiu's first season in Chelsea, they thought for a long time, and finally said it was difficult to describe it in simple words. In the end, they used many different words to express their meaning."
"The subversive, the challenger, the god, the immortal, the invincible"
Not only the Times, but also in the Daily Telegraph, the well-known columnist Jill also highly praised Ye Qiu, who led Chelsea to the Premier League in his column. He said, "When writing this article, I went to read the [Oxford Dictionary] and found that the word phenomenon was defined as an unusual or unexplainable fact, so in the end, I found that I could not describe Ye Qiu with phenomenon, because it was not enough to prove his greatness."
The Guardian also wrote an evaluation on its front page of Chelsea and Arsenal, two teams that have also remained unbeaten this season, with many spicy comments.
"Many people regret Arsenal's unbeaten record but ultimately missed the championship. They believe that Chelsea's luck is better, but in fact, if you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that Chelsea's winning of the championship is truly fair."
"Arsenal's unbeaten record this season is mainly reflected in the league, and their performance in the cup is not satisfactory. For example, in the Champions League, they lost two by Chelsea, and later lost to Manchester United in the FA Cup. The Red Devils finally won the FA Cup championship, which is enough to prove that Arsenal's absolute strength is not as strong as the outside world imagines."
"From the schedule, many people think that the Arsenal schedule is more difficult because they are very concentrated against strong teams. The most famous one is that devil schedule. But all professionals engaged in football know that the so-called devil schedule is not as terrifying as the outside world imagines. Because the schedule is concentrated, it helps the coaching staff to adjust the player's condition well, concentrate on playing a certain period of games, and then pay attention to maintaining physical energy consumption when playing against weak teams."
"In other words, the schedule is always just a part, both good and bad. Chelsea's schedule against strong teams is relatively scattered. The advantages are there, but the disadvantages are also obvious, because this requires very strict conditions for the team. Ye Qiu has to keep the team in a stable state anytime and anywhere. Otherwise, Chelsea will suffer a loss when encountering the strong team."
"Any factor has two sides. If you judge which Chelsea or Arsenal is greater by the schedule, it is completely untenable, but one thing is very obvious. Chelsea reached the Champions League final and the possibility of winning the championship is very high, but Arsenal is empty, which is enough to illustrate the problem."
But as a rigorous newspaper, the Guardian did not easily deduct a lot of praise such as so-called immortality and other newspapers. They believed that if a team was to be defined as immortal, then this team would at least win the league championship once in a row and win the European Champions League Cup.
Oliver of the Observer also believes in his column that Chelsea is still a distance away from immortality.
"I noticed that some newspapers simply define what Ye Qiu said as Ye Qiu's saying that Chelsea is stronger than AC Milan, which is inappropriate, because I was there when Ye Qiu said that, and what he meant was that AC Milan's unbeaten record in Serie A was an extraordinary and great feat. He personally admired it very much, but he believed that Chelsea could do better."
"From beginning to end, Ye Qiu was unwilling to let the outside world put all kinds of hats on Chelsea. He refused to accept the so-called immortality and invincibility. He felt that Chelsea still has a long way to go and still has great potential to explore."
"If the reborn Blue Lion has a fantastic start after winning the championship with an unbeaten record, then the calmness and rationality that Ye Qiu still maintained after winning the championship without defeat makes people look forward to the future of Chelsea. Perhaps Chelsea is not immortal now, but Chelsea will not know the future."
While the media was hyping Ye Qiu and Chelsea, the Premier League also announced the best team of the season this season.
The goalkeeper is Chelsea's Van dersar. The Blues' only 14 goals conceded this season shocked everyone. Van dersar's performance has also won everyone's recognition and is hailed as the most stable goalkeeper in the Premier League this season.
There is no doubt that the central defender combination of Van der Sar, Terry and Cannavaro entered the Premier League season's best. These three players are the core defensive cores who can win the championship unbeaten, while Ashley Cole beat Evra to win the best season with the left-back. Gary Neville also beat Macon and advanced to the best team of the season.
In the midfield, Davis, Vieira, Lampard and Gerrard all won the All-Season seats. Although many people regretted and puzzled that Marklele and Deco were not shortlisted, the performance of these two players was also very outstanding and stable. After Ye Qiu won the championship, he also highly praised Marklele and Deco.
On the front line is a combination of Henry and Ronaldinho. Although Hiller performed well and Fanny also performed well, as the Premier League’s chief scorer, Henry, who entered the roster of 30-goal legendary scorers in the season, and Ronaldinho, who is the core of Chelsea’s offensive this season, has entered the best team of the season.
Because the team won the Premier League championship and occupied half of the best team in the season, Ye Qiu naturally won the Best Head Coach award selected by the Premier League, which is also a recognition of his outstanding performance in the past season.
In addition, major newspapers such as the Sun and Daily Mail have also reported on what happened before and after Chelsea won the championship. Two of them have attracted attention. One is that Ye Qiu did not appear on the team's parade bus. Instead, the team's boss Abramovich celebrated with the players on the bus.
Another protagonist is Ye Qiu. After the team won the League Championship Gold Cup, all the Chelsea players hugged Ye Qiu tightly, and some staff claimed that in the locker room, Ye Qiu was taken with champagne by the crazy Chelsea fans, and he missed the team's parade celebration.
However, as compensation, during the parade and celebration, many Chelsea fans held Ye Qiu's avatars and photos high, and some fans used poor Chinese to write Ye Qiu's name to celebrate. From this, we can see Ye Qiu's status in the minds of Chelsea fans.
Peter Kenyon has the habit of reading newspapers while eating breakfast every morning, but this morning, he only reads newspapers and does not eat breakfast. Finally, he stares at the cover of the Sun. On the cover, Ye Qiu raised his hands high to celebrate the arrival of the team's championship moment, and the title is immortal.
In the same scene, Abramovich opened his arms in the stands and welcomed the arrival of the championship moment with a flaunt. He seemed to be embracing the championship gold cup, but he only appeared in a very small and inconspicuous corner of the sports page. The difference in treatment between the two can be said to be a world of difference.
Just as Peter Kenyon was in deep thought, the phone on the desktop rang out of place. The bald man looked at the screen of the phone. It was Ye Qiu, which made him pause halfway through his hand, but finally got it over.
Ye Qiu's tone on the phone "Peter" was not very friendly and a little stiff, giving people the feeling that after getting drunk last night, he woke up this morning and was angry, "I want to know, what else is there that I don't know?"
This question came a little inexplicably, and Peter Kenyon was stunned. Then he immediately realized what Ye Qiu was talking about, so he was very embarrassed. "I only knew about this yesterday."
"Is that true?" Ye Qiu's tone on the phone was full of suspicion.
"I don't think I need to lie to you, right?" Peter Kenyon was also angry. To be honest, he felt uncomfortable about this matter. What else is more important than a transfer that is so embarrassing to be kept in the dark as the club's chief CPO?
"Then tell me, how far has it been made?" Ye Qiu finally believed Peter Kenyon's words.
In fact, after a year of getting along, Ye Qiu and Peter Kenyon both found that the two had great similarities in the development direction of Chelsea, that is, they both hope that Chelsea can embark on a healthy development path rather than always relying on Abramovich's blood transfusions.
Moreover, Peter Kenyon himself is very clear that continuing to poach European giants will eventually lead Chelsea to a more embarrassing situation. The influence of those giants is definitely not just measured with money.
Just imagine, what would happen if there were no giants such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus in the Champions League? Don’t say anything is impossible. When the situation really develops to a certain level, everything is possible.
"I don't know what the specific progress is, but I received news that Shevchenko is willing to join Chelsea, but he will not intervene in the transfer negotiations. AC Milan currently wants the most to retain the Ukrainians, so he refuses to negotiate with us, even if our transfer offer has been raised to 70UU,000 euros."
"What?" Ye Qiu on the other side of the phone was obviously a little surprised, "70UU million? Is he crazy?"
He obviously refers to Abramovich here. This is the first time Ye Qiu said this to his boss in front of others.
As a person with professional ethics, Ye Qiu never comments on his boss in front of others, nor does he say bad things about Abramovich. At most, he just mentioned his hidden worries to Eliza, but this time, he was obviously angry.
Zidane's transfer record is 73.5 million euros. Even now, it is the world's first sky-high price. Especially in recent years, the transfer market has been sluggish, and major clubs have tightened their money. No one will spend such money. As long as you take out this amount of money, Ye Qiu can be sure that anyone can buy it.
AC Milan's rejection is actually because Chelsea may just convey their wishes through intermediaries, such as asking Pini Zahavi to test, and did not really offer sincere chips. Otherwise, she would give out 70UU million euros. Needless to say, Shevchenko announced the transfer the next day.
Peter Kenyon was obviously a little embarrassed on the phone, and he only found out about this yesterday afternoon.
"By the way, who told you about this?"
"Pini Zahavi" Ye Qiu said angrily.
"Damn vampire" Peter Kenyon immediately cursed. Of course he wanted to get it. This was deliberately used by the Israelites to attack Ye Qiu. In fact, he had long seen Pini Zahavi's attitude towards Ye Qiu, but Abramovich believed in the Israelites and was heartbroken.
Ye Qiu on the other side of the phone was obviously calming down and got angry early in the morning. You can imagine how bad his mood was.
"Peter, I don't want this incident to spread. You must block all the news immediately," said Ye Qiu.
Peter Kenyon is sure of this, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away"
"In addition, tell him again, I don't want Shevchenko, Nedved, Gerald, Barack, I want Drogba, Davis also has to leave it to me. The transfer power is in my hands, and I have the final say on who will go. If he wants to intervene, we can, so we don't have to discuss renewal."
Ye Qiu's clear statement has actually blocked all the retreat, that is, if they come, he will leave.
Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Peter Kenyon was also in a dilemma.
He is not a fool, of course he could see that Abramovich was regretting, regretting giving all the power to Ye Qiu.
To be honest, if Chelsea's performance is not so good and the limelight is not so big, things will be easier to solve. But now Chelsea won the championship unbeaten and has the opportunity to reach the Champions League final, Ye Qiu's reputation has increased greatly. Not only Chelsea, but even the entire English football world almost treats him as a god.
In this case, Abramovich regretted it. He felt that he was the owner of Chelsea, not Ye Qiu. If the team had good results, showed off and attracted attention, he should be the one who had a big rise in reputation, not Ye Qiu.
Of course, the cunning Pini Zahavi was definitely behind this, but Abramovich's nature is indeed the case. He is a very possessive and controlful person who cannot tolerate Ye Qiu stepping on his head.
If Peter Kenyon knew Chinese, he should be moved at this time, it is easy to share hardships and wealth.
"What's wrong?" His wife sat opposite him. She had watched him dazed at the newspaper before, but now she was talking about this to others on the phone. Then she looked sad again, a little strange.
"It's nothing, it's just that there are some things that can't be held back." Peter Kenyon said in a dilemma.
Chelsea's original power structure was a three-legged carriage, and Chairman Booker belonged to an extension of Abramovich, but Booker was a lawyer who helped Abramovich settle the deal a year ago and became the chairman. He didn't know much about football business. Abramovich himself was not very familiar with football. Therefore, in fact, Chelsea's greatest core power lies with Peter Kenyon and Ye Qiu, the former is responsible for management and the latter is responsible for competition.
But now, Abramovich obviously wants to change this situation. There was news before that he went to the Netherlands to meet Eindhoven's general manager Frank Aneson. The latter is famous for his scouting network and youth training system, but the most famous is his grudge with Ye Qiu in Dutch football back then.
