The Godfather of Football

The season is over, and the players have begun to return to the national team to prepare for this summer's World Cup in Germany.

Originally, this should be the World Cup year. After the major leagues and the Champions League, the most eye-catching thing should be the upcoming World Cup in Germany, but the current situation is completely different.

The two most eye-catching events at the moment are the Serie A phone-gate incident. There are rumors that Juventus and other teams will suffer painful penalties or even relegation, but the matter has not yet come to a conclusion, and everyone is paying attention to the latest developments.

Another major event is Ye Qiu's strong entry into Tottenham Hotspur.

In May, the British media had already released the news first. It was heard that Ye Qiu had returned to the Premier League strongly and swallowed up all the shares of Tottenham Hotspur in one breath, becoming the sole owner of Tottenham Hotspur. Although the matter has not been announced to the public, and Ye Qiu himself has not made any statement on this, but Ye Qiu's right-hand man Eliza Moon has already served as the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur, which has undoubtedly confirmed the speculation and rumors from the outside world.

In the past few days, some Tottenham fans have been running to White Hart Lane to welcome Ye Qiu, because after the outside world exposed Ye Qiu's identity as the boss of Leaf Technology in the United States, with the listing of Zeus mobile phones and the exposure of many industries of Leaf Technology, Ye Qiu's net worth is said to exceed 10 billion.

In addition, in the past few years, Ye Qiu's coaching ability is obvious to all. In the face of his strong financial resources and his outstanding coaching ability, all Tottenham fans are looking forward to the re-emergence of this former Premier League powerhouse.

However, so far, Ye Qiu and Tottenham's management seem to have no intention of giving the outside world a definite answer on this matter.

But also in London, Mourinho clearly felt the influence brought by Ye Qiu. Almost everyone everywhere was discussing his return to the Premier League, and discussing what changes his arrival would bring to the Premier League, and whether it would break the situation of London football, or even the Premier League football.

To put it bluntly, this is just a piece of news, but relying on this piece of news, Ye Qiu quickly attracted the attention of fans all over the world, and even the attention of the world's media. This is his influence, which is unmatched by other football coaches and top superstars, including Beckham.

Because he had to wait for his children to go on vacation, Mourinho did not take a vacation immediately after the end of the season. He continued to go to the Cobham training base every day to work, busy with some plans for the team's next season and summer transfers.

Chelsea's current situation is actually good. Although it is being chased by opponents, the team's strong strength can still ensure Chelsea's competitiveness next season, but the team still has some weaknesses and shortcomings.

First of all, Ferreira. Mourinho overestimated Ferreira before. This right-back performed well in the Portuguese Super League, but in the Premier League, he obviously could not adapt to the sharp and fast breakthroughs on the Premier League wing, which made him make frequent mistakes. Bosingwa also had the same problem, which made Chelsea, which was supposed to be a strong right side, have to adopt conservative tactics now.

Now, Mourinho regrets his actions. He was too anxious and wanted to break Ye Qiu's shadow as soon as possible, which made him adopt overly impatient strategies in many things, such as letting Maicon go, which was definitely a mistake.

In fact, even Mourinho himself must admit that he wanted to break Ye Qiu's shadow, but in fact he still couldn't do it, because his current entire central axis from front to back is still the configuration of Ye Qiu's period.

Drogba, Rooney, Lampard, Makelele, Deco, Terry and Van der Sar, this is Chelsea's entire central axis, all of them are Ye Qiu's former veterans. All Mourinho did was to replace the aging Cannavaro with Carvalho, who is still in his prime, so many people still attribute this year's championship to Ye Qiu.

Van der Sar also needs to be replaced. The Dutchman performed poorly last season and made many mistakes, causing the team to lose points in many games that should have been won. This is also the reason why Chelsea is constantly being chased by opponents. In addition, the Dutch goalkeeper is indeed old. He should have been replaced long ago.

As for the left back, Heinze's performance is very good, but Ferreira and Bosingwa are brought by Mourinho himself and are also players of agent Mendes. They cannot be moved. However, when the right back cannot play a wing attack, the left back should become the team's source of attack.

Speaking of this, Mourinho almost regretted twisting his head off, because he let Evra go at a low price, but now in order to pursue a wing attack, he has to do everything possible to poach Ashley Cole. This matter has become a laughing stock for everyone, because if you want to introduce Ashley Cole, why did you let Evra go in the first place?

Many newspapers and professionals have given two-word evaluations on Mourinho's transfer operations after taking office: poor!

People who are more objective would think that this was a decision made by Mourinho in order to get out of Ye Qiu's shadow as soon as possible and build a team of his own. Although it led to waste and squandering, it was not without reason.

If we talk about the strongest, then Chelsea's strongest point must be in the midfield. Ballack, Makelele and Deco have become the core of the team's midfield. Mourinho's three-midfielder tactics have achieved very good results. Even though many people think that it is somewhat similar to the midfield configuration of Ye Qiu's first year as Chelsea coach, it has achieved very good results.

With Duff and Joe Cole on the left and Rooney and Wright-Phillips on the right, Chelsea's counterattack tactics are also very effective.

As for the forwards, this is another controversial point for Mourinho, because Shevchenko, who was brought in with a lot of money, performed poorly, but Drogba later became the main force of the team again. Many people miss Ye Qiu, because Ye Qiu fully supported and trusted Drogba at the beginning, and was unwilling to bring in Shevchenko.

Now it is proved how wise and sensible Ye Qiu's decision was at the beginning.

And the better the predecessor is, the worse the current one will be.

Thinking of this, Mourinho's face was full of sorrow, because he found that if he wanted to transform Chelsea into a team that belonged to him completely, he still needed to do a lot of things, and it was not that easy.

Just as Mourinho shook his head in distress, his mobile phone rang. He saw that it was his agent Jorge Mendes.

"Hello, Jorge!" Mourinho had a headache because he always felt that Mendes was looking for him for no good, but he still had to answer the phone, because now the two of them were grasshoppers on a rope and no one could do without the other.

"Let me tell you something!" Mendes on the other end of the phone still had obvious anger in his tone, "Just now, that bastard Pini Zahavi told me that Abramovich has already reached an agreement with Ye Qiu!"

"Agreed?" Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became strange again, "Abramovich personally came out?"

"Yes, and I heard that he suffered a big loss!"

Mourinho was a little surprised here, because who is Abramovich? From the time he decided to coach Chelsea till now, he has only met Abramovich once, but this wealthy Russian went to meet Ye Qiu in person and personally dealt with Frank Arnesen's matter, which shows that he still can't let go of Ye Qiu.

This also made the arrogant Mourinho feel very uncomfortable.

"I heard that Pini Zahavi was scolded by Abramovich after returning to Stamford Bridge. This arrogant Israeli deserved it. He was stupid enough to contact the opponent's player Ledley King privately and left him with a handle. Now, he contacted the opponent's senior management and the opponent's star privately. These two crimes are enough for him to suffer!"

Speaking of this opponent, Mendes obviously did not hide his gloating mood at all, because since he came to Chelsea, the two have been desperately trying to fill the vacancy left by Ye Qiu and Eliza Moon.

But speaking of that Eliza Moon, she is indeed very powerful. Even though Ye Qiu has left, many players still choose to follow her. Mendes has been here for so long, but he only managed to dig up Deco, and this was done through many relationships and connections.

The agent of stars such as Drogba, Makelele, Rooney, Lampard, Terry, and Van der Sar is still Eliza Moon, while Pini Zahavi has dug up Cudicini, Heinze and others. However, the Israeli has gradually extended his hand to Mendes' core players such as Ferreira and Maniche, which is a taboo for Mendes.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Mendes is now adding insult to injury.

"What is the result of the discussion?" Mourinho's tone was not very good.

Mourinho himself is very clear about the problem between Pini Zahavi and Mendes. He can only choose to stand on Mendes' side. He is very clear about the dispute between the two sides, and he also knows that this has caused some differences among Chelsea players. After all, agents will also affect players, but he has no way to solve it.

Ye Qiu couldn't handle it at the beginning, let alone him. It can even be said that no team in the world can handle it.

Mourinho is now a big name. After leaving Portugal, he won the Premier League championship in the first season after coming to the Premier League. Even if many people attribute the credit to Ye Qiu, Mourinho is also famous, so he has the confidence to speak now.

Mendes is also used to the attitude of equal cooperation between the two sides, and replied: "I heard that Chelsea wants to introduce Ledley King for 30 million euros!" After saying that, he couldn't help but add, "Damn, with this kind of money, it's better to introduce Pepe!"

Mourinho's face sank after hearing this, because although he was optimistic about the player, he was not aware of the transfer and was kept in the dark.

In fact, he was anxious to leave Portugal and leave Da Costa, which led him to make concessions on many things, such as transfer rights. Abramovich has learned the lesson of his predecessor Ye Qiu. Now the power of the club is relatively balanced, and the greatest voice is always in the hands of Abramovich, including player transfers.

Of course, Chelsea also spent a lot of money on players like Ferreira, Carvalho and Maniche when they wanted to bring in Mourinho.

"Is that all?" Mourinho didn't react much, because he knew that 30 million was just a small amount of money for Abramovich, and the Russians wouldn't take it seriously, and Ledley King was indeed a player he was optimistic about.

"No, he also agreed to Ye Qiu, Robin van Persie, Messi, Cesc Fabregas and Ribery. These four players will go to Tottenham Hotspur on free transfers in exchange for Tottenham Hotspur." Tottenham dropped the lawsuit regarding Frank Arnesen and agreed to the transfer of Ledley King.”

Mourinho on the other side of the phone listened and unknowingly clenched his teeth and gritted his teeth because he found that he was completely excluded from this matter. At least the transfer of these four players was the most important. At least you should respect him as the head coach, right?

"The situation is stronger than the people, Jose, we have to endure it!" Mendes naturally heard Mourinho gritting his teeth. He knew Mourinho too well, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, Pini? Zahavi also told you that he has already found a goalkeeper for you, the Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech from Rennes in Ligue 1."

After a pause, Mendes said again, "I also recommend one, the goalkeeper Hilario of Funchal Nacional in the Portuguese Super League who performed well last season. Although 30 years old is a bit high, he is very good. ”

Needless to say, the Portuguese goalkeeper must be another player under Mendes, and the price must not be too low.

But Mourinho has no interest in any of these. His only thought now is to hate, hate Pini Zahavi, hate Ye Qiu, hate all the people who did not give him respect and made him feel despised!

When Mourinho felt that he was not valued in London, there was also a person in Italy who also felt that he was not valued, because he found that he seemed to be trapped in an environment with no way out and no hope.

Mauro Tassotti, anyone who is familiar with AC Milan will know him, because he is known as the best right back in the history of AC Milan, and he was also the player of the two Milan dynasties of Sacchi and Capello. The main star is also a former teammate of current AC Milan head coach Carlo Ancelotti when he was in Milan.

Some people say that English football is very rigid, stubborn, and full of various traditions, but no one knows that Serie A is also rigid, stubborn, and has a lot of unspoken rules, one of which is very important. It’s all about seniority in terms of capital allocation.

"Never doubt my love for AC Milan!" Tassotti often said this, but sometimes, time will gradually dilute this feeling, which will make people feel not only not beautiful, but also a little resistant. Negative emotions, especially when you are losing hope.

If you ask Mauro Tassotti, what is your goal?

Then he will tell you without a doubt, "Like Sacchi, Capello, Maldini, or even Ancelotti, coach AC Milan and lead this team to achieve outstanding results." This is why he After deciding to retire, he continued to attend coaching training courses and later entered the youth training until 2001, when he served as Ancelotti's assistant and entered the first team.

In just a blink of an eye, nine years have passed in the blink of an eye!

He has been at AC Milan for nine years, but he still cannot see hope and future. Sometimes he is thinking that maybe he should bravely go out, leave this place, and make a career elsewhere. Come back after the show.

But the problem is, no one invited him to coach. When everyone mentioned AC Milan, they only knew about Ancelotti, Galliani and Berlusconi. Who knew that Mauro Tassotti was on the coaching staff of this team? What did you do?

Now many Milan fans have begun to hype Maldini. They are even looking forward to Maldini joining the coaching staff after retiring and becoming the head coach of AC Milan like his father in the future, leading this team to the top. .

But this is definitely not good news for Mauro Tassotti, who also wants to get ahead in AC Milan.

Another thing that makes him a little depressed is that AC Milan has begun to gradually lose its combat effectiveness, especially with the outbreak of the Calciopoli this season, coupled with the previous transfer of Shevchenko to Chelsea, many teams are now poaching Kaká. , these all make people worried about the future of AC Milan.

If it were just the latter one, Tassotti would not be shaken by his feelings for AC Milan. But coupled with the psychology accumulated over a long period of time, such emotions would inevitably arise in his heart, but he would not express or explode them. That’s all.

In fact, instead of performing or breaking out, he actually did a good job and fulfilled his duties as an assistant coach as a foil for Green Leaf, because he knew very well that this was the only way he could stand out in the Serie A football world where seniority is considered. Chance.

After Capello retired from Milan, he waited for more than ten years to cultivate a golden generation such as Maldini for AC Milan. After experiencing the two tactical masters Liedholm and Sacchi, he accumulated a lot of experience , and finally became a world-famous coach, and created the myth of being undefeated in 58 games.

Although Ancelotti is only one year older than Mauro Tassotti, he has significantly more experience in coaching. He started out as an assistant coach to Sacchi, and later worked for Reggina, Parma, etc. He coached a downstream team, then gained experience coaching Juventus, and finally came to AC Milan, where he became famous.

Seeing that Ancelotti has become the world's first-class coach, Mauro Tassotti, who is only one year younger than him, feels admiration and envy in his heart, but at the same time he is also competitive because he also hopes One day I will be able to coach alone.

But, he hasn't waited for the opportunity yet!

But when he decided to stay in AC Milan and wait for his chance at the end of the season, someone suddenly called him and told him that there was someone who had admired him for a long time and wanted to find a chance to talk to him. This person was called Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu, this name must be familiar to everyone, whether fans or non-fans, because some people say that with the promotion of Zeus mobile phones, he has become one of the most famous people in the world in the past six months, and he is also an outstanding head coach.

Why did he come to me? What to talk about?

With such questions, Mauro Tassotti decided to go to the appointment, because he always wanted to see what Ye Qiu wanted to do!
