The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 246 The Curse of the Best Coach of the Month

Near noon, 11 o'clock sharp.

On the training field of the Harrington training base, Ye Qiu blew the whistle for the end of training on time, and the more than 20 players of the first team all breathed a sigh of relief, bending over under the hazy British sky. waist, panting heavily.

Some people say that it is difficult to see the sun in London in winter, and it is the same today.

With the gradual improvement of Chelsea's performance, 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 voices, and every training session After class, the team will arrange players to come out to receive fans.

Usually this kind of thing is done by big-name players, so those young players who follow the first team training are very conscious. After the training session, they pick up their things and go to the locker room.

I heard from the two captains of the team that they were lucky. If it was a few years ago, they would still have to help the old-timers shine their shoes.

"Robin, Cesc, Leo, Frank!"

As soon as they walked out of the training ground, they heard the head coach Ye Qiu calling the names of the four players from the sidelines.

All the players who were going to the locker room stopped, just wanting to hear what Ye Qiu had to say.

"You four go to the fan reception area!" Ye Qiu arranged the task.

"Us?" Messi and Cesc Fabregas were a little surprised, relatively speaking, Van Persie is used to this.

When he was at Feyenoord, he was the star of hope for the team, and he even won the title of the new Dutch Three Musketeers on a par with van der Vaart and Robben, so he did a lot of receiving fans in the Netherlands. After arriving at Chelsea, there were many big names in the team, and anyone picked out from the bench would be bigger than him, so he seldom participated.

"Yes!" Ye Qiu smiled. After the team finished the round of 32 in the League Cup, young players including Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Van Persie and Ribery became famous all of a sudden. The European media wanted to interview them, but Ye Qiu rejected such an arrangement with the authority of the head coach.

Without Ye Qiu's nod or acquiesce, the players are not allowed to be interviewed in private, this rule is contained in the disciplinary manual.

But Ye Qiu is also very clear that they are all young at heart, especially Ribéry, this guy is so sloppy, he wants to be famous and crazy, and he refuses them to be interviewed. The players must be a little bit pissed, so He used this method to compensate and let them establish some influence in the hearts of fans.

Don't underestimate these diehard fans who came to Harrington's training base. Now is the information age. Once they spread, they will soon spread among Chelsea fans.

"Starting today, you guys have to start learning to be professional players in the Premier League, especially you, Frank, you are now one of our iconic characters, pay attention to your image, don't scare those little girls, you know? After finishing speaking, Ye Qiu couldn't help laughing.

Franck Ribery has a close relationship with Ye Qiu. When he came to the Premier League, Ye Qiu personally came to look for him. Later, he looked for a house and took his wife to live in the Premier League. Ye Qiu helped him with everything, so he naturally He felt close to Ye Qiu and was able to take jokes every day, even the scar on his face was fine.

This also made Ye Qiu admire Franck Ribery's character, open-minded and cheerful, not sticking to trivial matters.

The so-called iconic figures of Chelsea started with the nickname given to Chelsea by the English media. They said that Chelsea was the ugliest team in the Premier League and even in Europe, and then ridiculed several scary-looking players in the Chelsea team as Blue The army is ugly, including Ribery, Ronaldinho, Drogba, Davis and others.

The first-team players generally haven't left the training ground. When they heard Ye Qiu teasing Ribery, they all burst into laughter. They are also quite amazing, but Ronaldinho, who has a very open personality, even directly boasted Whistle, copied what Ye Qiu said before, and sang in a strange tone: "I'm ugly, but I'm gentle!"

Seeing that this guy was still dancing samba, everyone burst into laughter again.

"Boom, where are you going?" Franck Ribery laughed and cursed with his fearless character.

Ronaldinho simply clenched his fist and picked his fangs with his thumb, "I am the cute fangs, and you are the scary Scar!"

This immediately provoked a shadowless leg from the Frenchman, but the Brazilian avoided it directly.

"I'm thinking about it. I might as well find an opportunity another day to put you all out and let the reporters have a good time. What do you think? Maybe you can become famous in one fell swoop, and you have a nickname called the Premier League." Four uglies!" Ye Qiu laughed from ear to ear, he liked to take this opportunity to joke with the players and to improve relations.

"Head, just show the three of them, don't count me!" Drogba was more honest, and immediately shook his head and refused.

Edgar Davis has a withdrawn personality and doesn't fit in with others. He just stands aside and listens without speaking. He basically doesn't get involved in the affairs of his teammates. It is the most desperate one.

"Okay, okay, let's go, future stars!" Ye Qiu smiled and clapped his hands, signaling Messi and Ribery to go.

Ye Qiu is a person who pays great attention to the communication with the players. He refuses the media to interview several rookies. As soon as this side refuses, the other side finds all the players, tells them about this matter, and then tells his own The intention is to let them all understand that they don't want them to be influenced by the media more, and also take this opportunity to beat up this group of guys who have performed well.

Young players must not get carried away as soon as they perform a little bit!

Ye Qiu has always believed in one principle. The world now has long passed the so-called era when the smell of wine is not afraid of the depths of the alley, just like what Eason Chan sang in the song "Bicycle": Don't assume that I know, everything is too. It's all done for me, why is it so great, so unfeeling.

It means that you have to speak your mind. If you don’t say it, others won’t feel it, and they won’t know it at all. Do you have to let others guess everything?And you must know that guessing is actually suspicion, and suspicion itself represents a kind of estrangement.

…………

Taking advantage of the League Cup period, the main lineup was rested. On Saturday, the team went north to Liverpool to challenge Everton away.

David Moyes's first season in charge of Everton was undoubtedly very amazing. He ranked 01th in the Premier League in 02/15, brought Everton, which was about to be relegated, to seventh in the Premier League, and even entered the European qualification zone for a long time. It can be said to be the most successful dark horse in the Premier League last season, and the other is Blackburn, which is gradually improving under the leadership of Souness.

But a very important reason for the so-called dark horse is that the opponents don't know him well, and you must know that in the fiercely competitive league, the competitiveness of professional club teams is like sailing against the current. team, signings and investment are even more necessary.

Everton has no idea of ​​strengthening the team this summer at all. Whether it is the Chinese player Lu Tie or the Nigerian player Yabo, they were all rented out last season and then bought out this season. The team's lineup basically remains the same , They were also among the top ten teams in the Premier League last season, the only team with almost no changes in the lineup.

This makes, even if Moyes has enough strength to ensure that the team's combat effectiveness is not lost to last season, the problem is that Everton's strength is showing a downward trend when other opponents are signing up aggressively. , so this team's performance in the new season is very bad, and it has always been hovering around the relegation zone.

Against Chelsea at home, Moyes still used a 442 tactic. The Chinese player Lu Tie did not appear in the squad. Excellent performance as always.

In the 8th minute of the game, Lampard took the lead in breaking Everton's goal and opened the scoring for Chelsea.

Just less than 10 minutes later, Ronaldinho received another assist from Drogba, and made another victory, 2:0.

After scoring two goals in a row, Chelsea's morale was stronger and the players' performance was more patient. On the other hand, Everton began to counterattack, but in the 33rd minute, Ronaldinho and Evra on the left After a counterattack, Evra got a center player on the left to keep up with a cross from the left side of the penalty area. Lampard hit a header from the near post, 3:0.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Everton still did not show enough competitiveness against the wolf-like Chelsea. In the 50th minute, Deco volleyed in the penalty area and hit Yabo's leg. , turned into Everton's goal, and finally locked the score at 4:0!

After falling behind by a large score, Everton lost morale and the players were in a slump, but the young striker Wayne Rooney was running all over the field in the midfield, running non-stop, as if he had an inexhaustible energy. His physical fitness was average, he was almost running after Chelsea's pass, his fighting spirit made Ye Qiu on the sidelines nod his head.

But one person can't stop a team in the end, and Chelsea finally crushed Everton 4-0 away.

After 11 rounds, Chelsea led No.2 Arsenal by as much as 6 points, because in the 10th round of the league, Chelsea defeated Manchester City, but Manchester United lost to Fulham 1:3. Na also drew away at Charlton, which extended Chelsea's lead to six points.

Seeing another victory over Everton in this round of away games, the entire Premier League is amazed at Chelsea's excellent state and stable results.

The Guardian of England used the word lightly to describe the gap in strength between Chelsea and Everton in this game, and believed that Moyes' team would find it difficult to compete with Chelsea, which is aiming to hit the league championship.

"Today, Abramovich went to Goodison Park with the team. From the way he left with a satisfied smile, we could see that he was satisfied with the Blues. I met this Russian rich man in the lounge, and the three bodyguards around him prevented the reporters from approaching, but the Russians took the initiative to greet our reporters."

"During the interview, the rich man in Russia spoke highly of this Chelsea team, thinking that this Chelsea team played very well in this game, created a lot of opportunities, but also wasted a lot of opportunities, he felt that this is not the most perfect Chelsea, he hopes to bring the most perfect and strongest team to all Blues and Premier League fans."

"We have to sigh with emotion at Abramovich's generosity, and we have to marvel at Chelsea's strength. At the same time, we have reason to believe that the resources that Ye Qiu has in Chelsea are enough to make all the head coaches in the world like him." Feeling envious and jealous because he has so many outstanding stars at the same time."

"It is revealed that Chelsea will aim at the three lines of signings next. The defense hopes to introduce a central defender. The goal is AC Milan's Nesta, and the midfielder hopes to get Juventus' Ned. Wade, the strikers are still chasing Andriy Shevchenko from AC Milan, Henry from Arsenal and Rooney from Everton."

"When our reporter asked questions, the rich man in Russia obviously did not deny this piece of news, but he also made it very clear that who the team needs to introduce, he has the final say, the head coach has the final say, but he promises that as long as it is The team needs, Ye Qiu thinks it is necessary to bring in, no matter who it is, Chelsea will get it no matter how much or how much it costs."

"With an outstanding main lineup, a bench lineup of first-class players from Europe and the Premier League, coupled with talented rookies, such a Chelsea team indeed has the strength to sweep the Premier League and even make a big splash in the Champions League!"

For this report from the Guardian, Ye Qiu didn't think very highly of it, 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 in this report, that is, with such a strong lineup, if anyone were to be the head coach, it would be enough to achieve today's results. Isn't this clearly depressing Ye Qiu?

Of course, no matter what the reporters and the media said, Ye Qiu was not interested in taking care of it, and he didn't care about it. He only cared about his own team.

After playing Everton, the team challenged Lazio away.

At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the two sides played relatively stalemate in the first half. Although Chelsea took the lead in the 25th minute with Ronaldinho's goal, their performance was not too good. Lazio's defense was very solid. Did not give Chelsea too good a chance.

However, before the end of the first half, Mikhailovich's foul on Drogba caused him to be sent off by the referee, which directly contributed to Ye Qiu's aggressive attack in the second half. This time, Ye Qiu used Ribe Parker, who replaced Makelele in the midfield, replaced Parker in the midfield and went up to play on the right.

Chelsea's overall lineup then became 4231, with Davis and Deco forming a double midfielder, Ronaldinho, Lampard and Ribery forming the frontcourt, and the defense line consisting of Evra and Canna Varo, Terry and Maicon.

Throughout the second half, Lazio, with one less player, obviously couldn't stand Chelsea's heavy pressure. Finally, in the 60th, 65th and 72nd minutes, Drogba, Maicon and Lampard scored three consecutive goals for Chelsea. The ball finally helped Chelsea beat Lazio 4-0 away.

In this way, in the first round of the group stage, Chelsea got out of the group ahead of time with an excellent record of 4 consecutive victories, and won the first place in the group. This also made Ye Qiu decide that in the remaining two rounds of the Champions League group stage, all Arranging a substitute lineup to play, the team is doing its best to hit the Premier League and prepare for the upcoming winter break devil's schedule.

Back in the Premier League, Chelsea ushered in Newcastle.

Before this game, many media once again exaggerated the curse of the best coach of the month, but it was not aimed at Ye Qiu, but at Newcastle's Bobby Robson. This old coach has just won the Premier League monthly award for October. The best coach and the team's top star Shearer also won the best player of the month.

Throughout October, Newcastle has been chasing after the top three in the Premier League with 10 consecutive victories all the way, and is currently ranked 4th in the Premier League. With Aston Villa tied, many people have high hopes for Newcastle's trip to London, hoping that the Magpies can snipe the Blues.

Ye Qiu was 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 and ended the team's winning streak. Now he is the best coach of the month in October Bill Robson met Ye Qiu, the best coach in September. Many people are wondering whether the curse of the best coach of the month will continue?
The entire British media was hyping up this topic, and even on the Internet, the fans of the two teams went crazy, some supported and some denied it, but no one thought that the final result of the game would be so shocking.

The start of the game was as usual with Ye Qiu's style of opening. After the opening, Chelsea took advantage of the home court to attack aggressively, while Newcastle was forced to retreat. However, in the 25th minute, the right back Maicon scored a goal and then inserted into the front of the penalty area. The volley opened the scoring for Chelsea and opened the door to victory.

But just after conceding the goal, Newcastle's foothold was not stable. In the 29th minute, Drogba received a cross from Evra from the left in the penalty area and headed the goal. Newcastle goalkeeper Given made a save and Ronaldini Austria kept up with the chaotic army and scored a goal, further expanding the score to 2:0.

Afterwards, Chelsea's offensive slackened a bit, but when the time entered 40 minutes, Chelsea launched another round of attack. Davis intercepted the ball in the frontcourt. Go straight up and shoot, once again expanding the score to 3:0!

Up to now, the game has no suspense at all. Even Andy Gray, the famous Sky TV speaker who is in charge of the live commentary, can't help shaking 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. The previous state How did the fire-ridden Newcastle lose so embarrassingly at Stamford Bridge?

In the second half, when Ronaldinho scored another goal, and Drogba followed up with a header after receiving a cross from Evra from the left, the score was finally locked at 5:0!

With the victory of this powerful dialogue, the Blue Army Storm completely shocked the entire Europa, and even many media outlets exclaimed, quoting a sentence Ye Qiu once said in the past, if you give money and time, you can create another one. A wealthy family.

"In the past, all the professionals scoffed at Ye Qiu's words, but now, he uses Chelsea to tell everyone that he can buy success with money and build a wealthy family with money! "
