Chapter 241: Achievements that Shock the Master

"This Ye Qiu is indeed amazing. Looking at today's European football, who can do better than him?"

In one of the VIP boxes at Highbury Stadium, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich smiled from ear to ear when he heard the referee blow the whistle at the end of the first half. He didn't even think about it. , in just a few months, Ye Qiu brought him such a huge surprise.

The 12-game winning streak at the beginning shocked the whole of Europe, no, the whole world. Who else can compare with Chelsea?

Thinking of Ye Qiu's confidence that he could build a wealthy family with money and time, he was so arrogant. Although Abramovich was optimistic about him at first, he didn't think it would be so fast. But in the blink of an eye, he Just did it.

Today's Chelsea is not a wealthy club, but it is the most eye-catching team in Europe, better than countless wealthy teams!

Abramovich originally gave Ye Qiu a transfer budget of 300 million euros, but in the end he kept more than half of it, saying that he would support the team in building the Cobham training base. This base was completely in accordance with Ye Qiu's plan. The requirements and plans for construction will benefit Chelsea's future.

"Ye Qiu is indeed outstanding, but that's because Roman, you had the vision in the first place. You chose him without choosing him among so many famous coaches!" Pini Zahavi, who was sitting next to Abramovich, smiled. While talking to the side, especially when talking about Ye Qiu, what was in his eyes was not kindness and approval, but a deep hidden hatred.

"Don't praise me. I know my own business. When I said I wanted to buy Veron, Ye Qiu refused. He felt that Veron was not suitable for his tactics, so he just decided to bring in Deco. Look, Deco's performance now But he is much better than Veron, and sometimes we have to admire the professional coach’s vision,” Abramovich praised with a smile.

He didn't notice that when he mentioned Veron, Pini Zahavi's eyes obviously looked gloomy.

Israelis now have a very sad and angry but helpless feeling. He feels as if he has worked hard to pick up girls and finally succeeded in proposing, but in the end, another man entered the bridal chamber and robbed the bride, but he hadn't yet. A place to cry!

He had tried every means to please and encourage Abramovich before, just hoping to use the strength of the Russian tycoon to raise his influence to a higher level. He did not think that being an agent was a promising thing, because Things are changing, and this industry is always coming back again and again.

At the beginning, Figel of Brazil was known as the godfather. Almost all Brazilian players came out through his relationship. Almost everyone thought that he would never fall like the Argentine agent Mascati, but what about now? Figel is obviously no longer popular. In a few years, Figel may follow in the footsteps of Muscati.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. This is a football trend and a tragedy for agents.

Pini Zahavi just wants to be on Abramovich's thigh. He has upgraded from buying and selling players to buying and selling teams. After Abramovich buys Chelsea, he hopes that he can become Chelsea's transfer player. He is the only partner in this critical position of buying and selling players.

Therefore, after Abramovich bought Chelsea and hired Ye Qiu to coach, he took the initiative to propose to Abramovich the introduction of Veron and Crespo. These two players now have a very good relationship with him. , the former Abramovich has also seen.

Unexpectedly, after convincing the Russians, Ye Qiu directly told him to stop. Veron went to Inter Milan, and Crespo did not come to Chelsea. Instead, they introduced a dark and unknown Drogba. There is also Deco from Porto.

If Chelsea's performance was worse, Pini Zahavi would have felt better. But what's terrible is that, as Ye Qiu said, Chelsea has swept the entire Europa League and won 12 consecutive victories in all competitions. , based on this amazing record, who dares to question Ye Qiu?

Pini Zahavi could not benefit from the formation of Chelsea. Instead, it was Ye Qiu's beautiful agent, Eliza Moon. This young woman was indeed powerful enough and was directly involved in every deal made by Chelsea. Transfer, not only reaping the benefits, but also further expanding her business. Although she is not famous on the surface and is generally unknown to fans, in the circle, she is already one of the most famous agents in Europe. One.

In the end, the foundation he had worked so hard to lay turned into someone else's wedding dress. One can imagine Pini Zahavi's mood, if it weren't for the two transfers of Joe Cole and Scott Parker. If he can talk to masturbate, he has simply been excluded from Chelsea's inner circle.

However, Pini Zahavi is a human being. His ability to survive today is not due to luck. He knows how to observe people's emotions and how to get along with others. When should he tolerate it and when should he retaliate? very clear.

"Roman, don't be too humble. Although Ye Qiu is indeed a very good head coach, you are not bad either. You have boldly delegated power and entrusted him with important responsibilities. Without your trust and support, he would not be where he is now. The momentum!”

After a pause, Pini Zahavi smiled, "Now when talking about Ye Qiu's Chelsea, almost everyone in Europe doesn't give a thumbs up. If he wins another championship, his reputation will be even greater than it is now." Bigger!”

Abramovich's originally smiling expression became a little stiff after listening to Pini Zahavi's words, especially when he heard the sentence "Ye Qiu's Chelsea", which made him feel his heart sinking as he was very possessive. I just feel uncomfortable.

"We still need him very much now!" Abramovich quickly showed a smile again, but the smile was somewhat without the joy from the bottom of his heart before, because he knew very well that now everyone only I know Ye Qiu, but I don’t know Abramovich.

This is not because Ye Qiu is trying to steal the spotlight, but because the media likes to chase him, and the Premier League has always valued head coaches.

Pini Zahavi knows how to observe words and expressions, and he has always been paying attention to Abramovich's expression. This shrewd businessman knows Abramovich very well, even better than those professional managers. This is why The reason why he was able to accompany Abramovich to the VIP box at Highbury to watch the game, while the club's acting CEO Paul Smith could only sit outside in the business seats, even if Peter Kay, who was poached from Manchester United in the future, Nin, it’s hard to sit in here.

As a successful person like Abramovich, he has a strong possessive desire, and his purpose of coming to the Premier League is also very obvious, which is to boost his influence in the European place, but the current situation seems to be On the contrary, although his popularity has soared, when most people think of Chelsea, they think of Ye Qiu.

This is a very contradictory complex. On the one hand, Abramovich does not want to be in the public eye all the time, but on the other hand, he wants everyone to know him, know him, and even appreciate him.

High achievement will definitely shock the master!

This is why everyone will say that there is no room for the second Ferguson in today's football world!

"I think that after Peter Kenyon arrives, the power structure of the troika we planned before will still have to be implemented. You know, when power is vested in one person, especially when this person can leave anytime and anywhere. Man, this is a big deal for you and the team!" Pini Zahavi said lightly.

Abramovich looked down at the court, his brows furrowed and expressionless. He just showed a hint of indifference. He couldn't tell whether it was a sneer or a joking smile. "You are too worried, Pini. Ye Qiu said, He will stay at Chelsea for a long time, and look, he has hired two young players from Barcelona. The meaning cannot be clearer. I believe he will not leave."

Zahavi accepted it as soon as it was good, he just wanted to plant a seed in Abramovich's heart, "That's naturally the best!"

The topic ended here, and neither of them said anything more.

"By the way, Pini, have you gotten to know Everton's Rooney recently?" Abramovich asked.

Pini Zahavi nodded. If an agent in the Premier League doesn't pay attention to him, it is definitely a failure, because after Owen gradually lost his golden boy halo, Rooney took advantage of the trend and became the new hope of English fans. Manchester United and Arsenal, the two giants, are vying for him, and it depends on who gets it.

"It is estimated that it will cost about 35 million pounds to get him." Pini Zahavi said.

"So high?" Abramovich was a little surprised, because he recently went to Juventus through Pini Zahavi to learn about Nedvěd's situation. Although Moji denied talking to Abramovich on the surface, There have been contacts, but an Italian agent revealed that if the price is 30 million pounds, which is about 45 million euros, Juventus will release him.

AC Milan's Shevchenko is Abramovich's fellow countryman. He also wants to get Ukrainian nuclear warheads. AC Milan refuses to negotiate, but Pini Zahavi said that if the price is suitable, it is not completely out of the question. , but the price will definitely be 50 million euros higher.

If you calculate it this way, wouldn't Rooney be worth about the same as Shevchenko?

"You know, a local household registration in England is so valuable!" Pini Zahavi said with a smile.

After hearing this, Abramovich shook his head helplessly and amusedly, "Damn and cute Englishman!"

…………

…………

The start of the second half still maintained the deadlock of the first half.

But there is an obvious sign that Chelsea's defense is no longer as high as it was in the first half, but Arsenal still shows no signs of counterattack, and their offense still lacks a fatal threat.

But when Chelsea wanted to slow down the pace appropriately, Arsenal suddenly launched a wave of offense, directly speeding up the pace and creating two kicking opportunities, in the 54th and 57th minutes respectively. , Gilberto Silva and Pires' long-range shots all went directly into Van der Sar's arms and failed to create a threat.

But this moment made Ye Qiu feel bad.

This group of Chelsea players are all international players, and they have all participated in two national team games during the two-week national team match day. Coupled with traveling back and forth and training with the national team, their condition is not considered good at all.

Of course, Arsenal and Chelsea are both big players in the national team, but the problem is that Arsenal's players obviously have a better understanding. They have played together for longer and are more skilled in cooperation. However, Ye Qiu's Chelsea has just been formed. Once their physical fitness declines, The shortcomings of insufficient tacit understanding will be magnified, and problems will easily arise in their cooperation with each other.

"Looks like he's got us by the tail!" Tenkat said with a smile.

"If you haven't seen it yet and haven't found a countermeasure, then Wenger is no longer Wenger!"

Ye Qiu has never regarded Wenger as a fool. On the contrary, Wenger is definitely a respectable opponent. Even though on-the-spot command has always been his weakness, that is compared to the top coaches. Everyone else, Wenger was outstanding.

"Let Galas warm up, Maicon's physical fitness is obviously not good enough!" Ye Qiu shook his head.

Sun Jihai also played in the national team games, running back and forth, and his physical fitness was also not good. Ye Qiu did not intend to use him in this game. French defender William Gallas can play in multiple positions on the left, center and right of the defense at the same time. It just so happens that he is going now Hit the right wing.

But not long after Ye Qiu asked Gallas to go out to warm up, Arsenal launched an attack from the left.

After Pires caught the ball on the left sideline, he kicked the ball forward. Henry, who was pulled to the side to prepare for the response, retreated from the front, leaving Maicon behind who was not physically fit and could not keep up with his own rhythm. , after receiving the ball, he knocked back to Pires who ran towards the gap in the middle, and then quickly inserted into the penalty area.

After getting the ball, Pires did not stick to the ball and pushed it directly to Bergkamp's feet. The Dutch ice prince passed it to Ljungberg on the right. The Swede inserted into the penalty area and shot low without stopping the ball. .

Van der Sar has always been shifting and changing his position in conjunction with Arsenal's passing and receiving. His performance in this game was very stable, resolving Arsenal's offensive crises many times, but this time Arsenal's The pass-and-receive coordination was so fast that Chelsea's left and right ribs were left open once.

When Ljungberg kicked off, Van der Sar instinctively made a flying save, and indeed saved the ball, but failed to save it far. The ball fell to the left side of the penalty spot. At this time, Henry, who just sprinted in from outside the penalty area, directly missed the ball and shot it into the empty goal.

Maicon, who was chasing Henry, was panting. He stared at the Frenchman who succeeded in the supplementary shot and cheered. He had the urge to collapse on the court because he chased very hard, but he just Can't catch up with Henry's speed.

"1:1!!! Henry, the King of Highbury, equalized the score for Arsenal!!!"

The on-site commentator shouted excitedly and excitedly.

"Arsenal's offensive coordination was very beautiful this time, and it quickly moved from the left to the right. Chelsea, who had defended Arsenal impregnably throughout the game, finally showed a flaw this time. Strictly speaking, this It was one of the few mistakes Chelsea made in this game, and it was also the only fatal mistake, but it was caught by Arsenal. "

"Looking at the whole game, Arsenal and Chelsea did not make many mistakes in this game. Chelsea only made one fatal mistake and Arsenal made two. But both teams seized the opportunity, but Chelsea wasted one. The current situation It is obviously more detrimental to Chelsea because their players are obviously lacking in physical fitness.”

"Of course, Arsenal players also face the problem of insufficient physical fitness, and the impact on them on national team match days is still very obvious. This is why the G14 recently collectively put pressure and complaints on UEFA."

After seeing Arsenal equalize the score, Ye Qiu let out a heavy breath, because he could see that the team had lost the ability to beat Arsenal, so he quickly replaced Mai with Gallas. Kong, and then replaced Deco with Ribery, bringing Lampard back a little bit.

After two consecutive substitution adjustments, Chelsea's overall formation gradually shrank.

This is Ribery's first appearance in such an important game. He has played several times this season, basically as a substitute. His performance is average, neither good nor bad. He is very excited about his appearance this time. , but Arsenal is not a fuel-saving lamp. Ye Qiu asked Ribery to pull to the wing to get the ball, but the Frenchman failed to create a threat in the end.

The only bright spot was in the 82nd minute, 8 minutes after Arsenal equalized the score, when Ribery used Arsenal's left-back Ashley Cole to attack on the right. In the neutral position, after Chelsea intercepted the ball, he quickly made a diagonal pass behind him, creating an anti-offside situation.

In this quick counterattack, Ribery's explosive power was very obvious, but immediately after, Ribery was obsessed with dribbling the ball from the wing and failed to cut inside to respond to Drogba, thus wasting a God-given opportunity. .

The French scarface made a pass from the right, and Drogba was attacked by Kolo Toure and Campbell in the penalty area. Although he got the point, he was blocked by goalkeeper Lehmann in time and failed to make any impact.

This made Ye Qiu on the sidelines want to scold him because such an excellent opportunity was wasted by these two guys.

But Ye Qiu was not discouraged and immediately replaced Gudjohnsen with Joe Cole and continued to strengthen the offense.

Chelsea's players lack physical fitness, and Arsenal's players are not much better. Both teams are making mistakes at every step, and no one takes advantage. On the contrary, Chelsea's players are obviously more advantageous in terms of physical fitness, so in After replacing Joe Cole, Chelsea began to regain the advantage in the game.

On the contrary, Arsenal, playing at home, saw that Chelsea still did not give up the offense and began to strengthen their defense. Sigan replaced Pires, Parlor also replaced Ljungberg, and Edu also came on...

In the end, Chelsea failed to break through Arsenal's goal. The first direct dialogue between Ye Qiu and Wenger ended in a 1:1 draw, which made both sides satisfied, because Chelsea played away, and Wenger stopped Chelsea's 8-game winning streak, curbing the momentum of Chelsea's heavy tank.

I just believe that after the game, the media will definitely hype the Premier League's monthly best coach curse and Chelsea's 13-year unbeaten curse against Arsenal.
