Chapter 247 An unexpected encounter

As Chelsea slaughtered the visiting Newcastle 5:0, causing great controversy throughout Europa, the schedule was suspended again, ushering in two weeks of national team match days, but the discussion about Chelsea has not stopped at all.

Whether the emergence of Chelsea is good or bad for European football and the Premier League has aroused great controversy among all professionals, journalists, media and fans. Those who think it is good and those who think it is bad are almost the same, and the attitudes of both parties are similar. They are all very tough and powerful.

The good side believes that Chelsea's signings seem to have spent a lot of money, creating a bubble in the transfer market, but in fact Abramovich's transfer of more than 100 million euros has injected into the European football market, directly driving This has created an economic effect on the entire market, benefiting all the teams poached by them.

"Between the weakening of strength and the bankruptcy of the team, the former is undoubtedly less harmful!"

But there are also many people who believe that the emergence of Chelsea has directly created a bubble in the football market. They waved their checks and paid astonishing sums for Makelele, Ronaldinho, Deco, Cannavaro and others. High salaries and transfer fees have directly led to the rapid spread of bubbles in the entire football industry.

"There is no doubt that Arsenal is one of the victims. In order to keep Vieira and Henry, Wenger had to raise his salary with Chelsea. At present, Vieira has signed a contract extension with Arsenal. The French back "

"It would be fine if it was just like this, but after renewing the contracts of Vieira and Henry, as another core member of the French gang, Pires' contract renewal is also imminent, and Ashley Cole, as an Arsenal youth Typical representatives who have been trained will also be included in the contract renewal list, which will undoubtedly greatly increase Arsenal’s operating pressure.”

In a recent interview with the media, Wenger criticized Chelsea's poaching as a crazy and stupid act. When Arsenal had to tighten money to prepare for the construction of a new stadium, it had to increase player salaries significantly. Salary, which makes Arsenal feel conflicted.

Without a salary increase, players will undoubtedly leave, and the team's competitiveness will be affected as a result. They may even lose qualifications for the Champions League. Without being able to participate in the Champions League, Arsenal's overall losses will be greater. But the problem is, if you increase your salary, The team's operating pressure is also very high. It is unknown where the Champions League will go, but the players' salaries are fixed expenses.

Because of this, Arsenal has become the biggest victim of Chelsea's poaching.

Of course, many people who support Chelsea also point out that Chelsea is not the only one waving checks, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also poaching everywhere. Real Madrid's pursuit of Vieira appears in almost every transfer period, and Henry has recently been involved with Barcelona Linked together, it's not just Chelsea poaching.

"While attacking others to disrupt the market, should Arsenal also reflect on themselves? Why are Henry and Vieira's salaries so low? But Campbell's salary is more than their combined salary? The French gang is so shocking to Campbell. I have long been dissatisfied with the high salary, but now I just found an opportunity to break out. Is this also due to Chelsea? "

The two groups obviously couldn't convince each other, because the world is so strange. It's harder to convince someone than to kill someone, especially when that person has a very firm stance.

After the England national team training camp, some media soon criticized the top three teams in the Premier League. A very important reason is that among the three strongest teams in the Premier League, there are only seven local England internationals. Even if Including Ferdinand, who was suspended due to a drug test, there are only 8 people, which is really too few.

Among these eight players, Chelsea has four international players including Terry, Lampard, Parker, and Joe Cole. It can be said that apart from Liverpool, Chelsea has the largest number of international players among the Premier League teams. This has once again caused controversy. The media and professionals reflect on the Premier League and believe that the excessive introduction of EU and foreign international players has greatly reduced the living space of local Premier League players.

Afterwards, the media and writers on both sides of the debate naturally came up with evidence to compete, and the entire British Isles became very lively. This has also become the trick that the British media is best at using, which is to stir up trouble and topics to create news.

In such a storm, the news about French Football announcing the results of the annual best coach selection in advance was not taken seriously by people, because in the past few years, FIFA has focused on promoting the annual awards conference, French Football The influence of magazine awards has been greatly weakened, and now it has even reached the point where it has to be moved forward to stagger the time.

Perhaps, in the minds of many senior fans and media, the awards of French Football Magazine are more authoritative, but no matter from the perspective of market influence or star influence, the awards of French Football Magazine are becoming more and more embarrassing, and are gradually being regarded as Marginalization.

This year, in order to stagger the annual awards conference with FIFA, French Football Magazine advanced the awarding of the European Ballon d'Or to early December, while other awards such as the Best Coach of the Year were awarded even earlier. The Best Coach of the Year The awards were even brought forward to mid-November.

Although it is called an award ceremony, in fact, due to the funding problem of French Football Magazine, they cannot host a grand award ceremony like FIFA. Their award ceremony is mainly in cooperation with CANAL+ TV station, inviting winners to the Paris headquarters, holding a simple award ceremony, doing an interview and a special program, that's all.

Perhaps because of the authority, Ye Qiu did not miss this time. With the triple crown last season and the outstanding performance of Ajax, Ye Qiu finally defeated all opponents including Bosque and Mourinho and won this heavy award for the first time.

This is also the first authoritative personal award Ye Qiu has won in his life. In addition, he was more free during the national team competition, so this time he cooperated with the arrangements of French Football Magazine and CANAL+ TV station, flew to Paris to accept their interview, and participated in the recording of a special program on TV.

…………

…………

The recording site was arranged in one of the studios at the CANAL+ headquarters, which will also be the recording site for the European Golden Ball Awards ceremony. The difference is that the European Golden Ball Awards ceremony will also arrange some fans to witness it, while the annual best coach award ceremony will not have this set, but many media are still invited to report on the scene.

Ye Qiu came to Paris this time accompanied by Eliza. He had just won the most important award in his life. Ye Qiu was in a good mood. When the TV station was recording the program, the host was also very friendly to Ye Qiu. Although he also asked some questions about political beliefs and childhood in China, he was generally respectful.

This is also an inevitable experience for a Chinese person coming to Europe. Sometimes Ye Qiu even thought that for those media, this is also a very strong attraction, because don’t they just like to hype these things?

Of course, Ye Qiu doesn’t like to mention these, because he hopes that everyone will pay attention to his football, not his background.

After all, it is an authoritative magazine, and the background is only a small part of it. More of it is focused on football, including the controversy about Chelsea in the outside world. Ye Qiu also gave a very frank answer during the recording. He thinks that everything has two sides. While Chelsea's rise brings benefits to European football, it will definitely bring some impact.

"Just like the championship, everyone knows that there is only one championship. If we win it, others will definitely not win it. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing for our competitors?"

Ye Qiu's answer obviously shifted the controversial topic to another angle, that is, why so many people only care about the disadvantages brought by Chelsea's rise? Is it because they have lost benefits from Chelsea's rise?

A further answer is that many fans sympathize with Arsenal and think that their operating pressure has risen sharply because of Chelsea's rise. This is to think about the problem from Arsenal's perspective, and their butts are crooked. So have they tried to use another idea, why are Arsenal players so easily seduced by Chelsea?

It is because Arsenal's salary structure makes them feel unfair, which has been a problem for the past two or three years. The arrival of Chelsea has given players the opportunity to have enough bargaining chips to fight for the salary they feel satisfied with. If Arsenal feels that the players are not qualified for such a high salary, you can refuse.

"I find it very strange, because you promised the players a salary increase, but you criticized Chelsea for it, and blamed us for the increase in the salary pressure of your club. I find it hard to understand. What does your salary pressure have to do with us? You don't have the money to pay such a high salary, so you blame us?"

In Ye Qiu's view, Chelsea is a latecomer. To rise, it must pay more and higher prices. With the same salary and conditions, players will definitely choose the giants instead of Chelsea, so Chelsea will pay more. The attraction of the giants is their own status and influence, as well as their achievements. These are all risks for players joining Chelsea.

"I think this is a deal that we both agree on, but everyone has different choices!"

This can be regarded as Ye Qiu's explanation of his views and opinions on the recent Chelsea debate. In the end, he concluded that the existing beneficiaries in European football, that is, the giants, suffered losses due to Chelsea's rise, so there are so many media attacks on Chelsea.

Ye Qiu is quite understanding of this situation. Football is very realistic and cruel. Like other walks of life in society, it is pyramid-shaped, and a few giants occupy the vast majority of the benefits. However, the difference between football and other industries is that football has obvious rankings and seats.

This makes the competition in football more intense and more cruel. The rise of one team will inevitably lead to the decline of another team. Therefore, the rise of Chelsea is something that many giants do not want to see. Even the rise of Ajax was also unacceptable to these giants.

Of course, considering that this is an interview program facing the whole world, Ye Qiu did not say many serious words, but just avoided the important and said some of his own views. Wenger attacked Chelsea, and he also fought back by the way to avoid being accused of being too weak.

Because of this series of hype, CANAL+ TV station was also very satisfied with Ye Qiu's cooperation. The whole recording process went very smoothly and ended soon.

When Ye Qiu walked off the stage, Eliza, who was as beautiful as a fairy, smiled and gave him a thumbs up. It can be seen that she was very satisfied with Ye Qiu's performance in the interview. His response and conversation represent Ye Qiu's character, and Eliza promoted and publicized him based on Ye Qiu's character.

"I guess Wenger will be mad if your program goes out again!"

"Who told him to bombard me all day long?" Ye Qiu looked like a hooligan.

For his neighbor, Ye Qiu had a little respect, but more of a challenge. The same complex emotions also included Ferguson, as if he wanted to lead Chelsea to challenge Manchester United and Arsenal's monopoly on the Premier League.

Eliza held her bag in one hand and held Ye Qiu's hand in the other. Through the sleeve of her casual suit, she smiled and pinched him hard. She was indeed amused by Ye Qiu's hooliganism that he didn't know where he got from.

She also realized that Ye Qiu was no longer the little man who hesitated and couldn't speak when he met reporters and media in Ajax, and finally had to go to the rescue himself. At that time, Ye Qiu was not as smooth as he is now, but he was more genuine.

Eliza was in contact with Ye Qiu almost every day. She had already accepted Ye Qiu's changes as usual, and even Huang Chu was the same. It was only when they occasionally recalled the past that they were surprised to find that Ye Qiu had changed so much, but they were just surprised for a while, and it was over, and no one took it to heart.

The two walked out of the studio, talking and laughing. Ye Qiu was in a good mood, and kept saying something to make Eliza laugh. The latter had been friends with Ye Qiu for many years, and was also a good sister to Huang Chu. She didn't have as many taboos and customs as outsiders, and directly held his arm and played there, just like a couple in love.

This scene was seen by a man who walked out of the next studio, "Eliza?"

There were not many people in the corridor, and his shouting with a variety of complex emotions such as surprise, panic, and confusion was loud and far away, so Ye Qiu and Eliza heard it clearly. The two thought it was the recording team calling them, and they turned around quickly.

When Ye Qiu turned around, he noticed that the person who spoke was a man wearing a very fashionable, but frankly speaking, for Ye Qiu who had no artistic cells, it was weird, and even a little sissy. The suit and shirt, especially the feminine lace on the cuffs and collar, but he looked very handsome, so handsome that Ye Qiu, as a man, felt that he was not as good as him.

She is not tall, and should be slightly shorter than Ye Qiu, but she has a unique charm when she smiles. Or it can't be said to be unique, but a little weird, yes, a very strange feeling.

"Eliza?" Seeing the two people turn around, the man shouted again, his eyes wide open, looking very surprised.

But just as he was about to walk up, Eliza said in a deep voice, with a very heavy accent, "You recognized the wrong person!" After that, she pulled Ye Qiu's hand hard, walked quickly around the corner of the corridor, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The man stared at the corridor in front of him, which was empty, with a complicated mood, and murmured: "Did he recognize the wrong person?"

"Did he recognize the wrong person?" Ye Qiu frowned and let Eliza hold his hand. This was the first time he held Eliza's hand, but he didn't have any evil thoughts, because he already had Huang Chu, but he felt that Eliza's palm was full of sweat.

Just when he felt strange, he looked up at Eliza, only to find that this beauty who would not change color even if Mount Tai collapsed was pale and a little scary at this moment. Rather than saying that she was holding Ye Qiu's hand, it would be better to say that she was borrowing Ye Qiu's hand to keep herself from falling.

"I don't know him!" Eliza said a little weak and tired after hearing Ye Qiu's words, but very sure.

Ye Qiu's intuition told him that there must be something wrong. He was fine just now, but suddenly became like this. Even if he was sick, it wouldn't be so fast. It must be that man, but who is he?

Perhaps it was because of curiosity. Everyone has a strong gossip gene in their bones, so Ye Qiu really wants to know.

"But he knows you and calls you by name, you... don't know him?"

Eliza looked up at Ye Qiu, holding his hand with obvious force, but it looked very weak, "I'm very sure, I don't know him, and there are so many people named Eliza, who knows which one he is looking for?"

After a pause, she seemed to be still worried that Ye Qiu would not believe it, and explained again, "Besides, you saw what happened at the beginning, there are no shortage of crazy people among my suitors, if I don't deal with all of them, do you think I have the time?" At the end, Eliza more or less recovered her usual confident and calm nature, the sweat on her palms also dried, but she didn't seem to want to let go of Ye Qiu's hand.

Ye Qiu remembered that he had just moved to Amsterdam and met the guy in the cow costume. Thinking about the experience of those who came to his door later and pretending to be Eliza's boyfriend to scare them away, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and he actually agreed with Eliza's explanation in his heart.

"Well, sometimes, being too beautiful is also a very hard thing!" Eliza shook her head and sighed, saying this sentence that almost made Ye Qiu spit out his food.

"You are too beautiful?" Ye Qiu kept shaking his head, "Oh my god, among the most shameless people in the world, you are ranked second, and no one dares to be the first. With your appearance, you still dare to say that you are beautiful. My God, are there still dinosaurs in this world?"

The blow was satisfying, but Ye Qiu soon met Eliza's tyrannosaurus anger and malicious eyes. He was so scared that he hurried to explain, and regarded the incident in the corridor just now as an accident and didn't take it to heart.

But soon, he found that he was very wrong.
