Chapter 294 The only decision maker

The training camp for the new season was actually well prepared, but Ye Qiu was still very busy.

A very important reason is that he must appease all the players as soon as possible.

Three players were introduced this season, Heinze, Essien and Rooney. All three players will inevitably have an impact on some players in the team. For example, the most obvious one is that both are left backs, so Evra and Heinze will inevitably compete with each other. In addition, Heinze can also play as a central defender and Gallas can play as a left back, so the competition pressure is very high.

Although Heinze will participate in the America's Cup, and then participate in the Olympic Games and the European Cup qualifiers, so the initial return time will be at least in mid-September, there is no way, who made the national team events so dense this summer?

Before and after announcing the introduction of Heinze, Ye Qiu had to take time out to communicate and exchange with players such as Gallas and Evra. He repeatedly emphasized that Chelsea's battle line in the new season will still be a two-line battle mainly in the Champions League and the Premier League. At the same time, with the addition of the League Cup and the FA Cup, Chelsea's game tasks are very heavy. Heinze's joining is to ensure the depth of the team's lineup.

What he didn't say is that he also wanted to use Heinze to put some pressure on Evra and Gallas, so that they can better show their state to participate in the game and obey the command of the head coach.

The introduction of Essien has impacted more players, including Davis, Fabregas, Deco, Makelele and others. Ye Qiu must also communicate and exchange with them one by one. Among them, Ye Qiu mentioned to Davis that the team will make appropriate adjustments and changes in tactics in the new season, hoping that he will be mentally prepared, and the Dutch veteran also said that he will continue to stay and participate in the competition.

Frankly speaking, Ye Qiu still admires Davis very much. He also believes that this midfielder who can play multiple positions will definitely help Chelsea in the new season, so he also gave Davis great encouragement and promises.

The biggest impact of Rooney's joining is Ribery.

Originally, Ye Qiu had planned to promote Ribery to play as a starter this season, but now Rooney's joining has changed this plan. Ye Qiu can't make a promise about who will become the team's main starter.

Ribery didn't know Ye Qiu's plan, so he felt threatened by Rooney's joining, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, to be honest, he has only played in the professional league for one year. Although he has a Premier League title and a Champions League title in his hands, he doesn't have the capital to be proud now, especially in front of Ye Qiu, who he regards as his mentor.

Ye Qiu also made a promise to Ribery. He hopes that Ribery can adjust his state well, avoid encountering the rookie wall, and continue the excellent performance of last season. Then the Frenchman must be the most important member of Chelsea's lineup.

The competition in the team is so fierce that young players such as Fabregas, Messi and Robert Huth also feel the pressure. Ye Qiu said frankly in the communication that they will not be able to start in the new season for the time being, but Ye Qiu will continue to give them opportunities in the cup and substitute seats to let them get exercise and accumulate more experience.

"You are only 17 years old. For you now, the most important thing is not the main position of the first team. The competition pressure in the Premier League is very high. It may not be a good thing to play the main position of the Premier League too early. I believe you should also be mentally prepared for this. So now the most important thing for you is to learn."

This is also what Ye Qiu has always asked Fabregas and Messi. He hopes that they can learn as much as possible from their teammates' playing style and consciousness. Whether it is Ronaldinho, Davis, Deco, Makelele, Lampard and other players, or others, they have a lot of things worth learning for young players.

Without saying anything else, after coming to the Premier League for a year, Fabregas and Messi's physical fitness has obviously improved a lot. This is partly due to Ye Qiu's special request to Peter Brandt to prepare a physical training for them, which not only ensures their delicate skills and sensitivity, but also improves their physical fitness and confrontation ability.

But the body is actually only a part. What is more important is to learn how to compete with opponents on the field intelligently. In this regard, Ronaldinho, Davis and Makelele have done a good job, especially Davis and Makelele. They are both short players, but they are not at a disadvantage in the confrontation.

All along, Fabregas and Messi have a deep feeling for Ye Qiu's cultivation, so when Ye Qiu took the initiative to communicate with them, the two young players also gave understanding and promised to continue to work hard and strive for progress in the future.

After this round of measures to appease the players and stabilize the atmosphere within the team, the first week of training camp passed like this.

Because the main players were not there, Ye Qiu's training camp was more focused on physical reserve, but even so, he still focused on ball training. Different from the previous emphasis on pressure, Ye Qiu now emphasized more on passing and receiving the ball based on pressure.

Passing and assisting became a very important topic in training, which made Rooney, who participated in Chelsea's training camp for the first time, feel very fresh, because before in Everton, the team's pre-match training was always spent in running circles, but now Ye Qiu obviously did not advocate running circles, but replaced the traditional physical reserve training with high-intensity ball training.

Chelsea's arrangement this summer is to train in London for two weeks, play a warm-up match with Oxford United of the English League Three, and then go to the United States to participate in the Champions League, facing Celtic and Roma, and then return to Europe to participate in the Netherlands. Amsterdam Cup, and finally return to London to play a warm-up match with Zaragoza from La Liga.

The entire schedule is very tight. Ye Qiu's idea is to adjust the team's condition, fine-tune the new season's tactics and determine the main lineup before the new season arrives, and continue to attack the championship from the beginning of the new season.

With the additions of Heinze, Essien and Rooney, Ye Qiu is very confident in Chelsea's strength in the new season, but a season is very long and anything can happen, so he still dare not be careless.

Perhaps because many of the main players were absent, the substitutes wanted to work hard to show their strength and level in front of the head coach at the beginning of the season. Therefore, after a week and a half of training, when the team welcomed Oxford United, Chelsea won a 10-0 victory that shocked the whole of England.

Ye Qiu's starting lineup for this game is goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, and the defense is Evra, Galas, Cannavaro and Sun Jihai. Because Italy only played in the group stage in the European Cup, Canna Varro started taking leave early after that, so he returned to the team a few days after the training camp.

The midfield has been adjusted, Deco is absent, Ye Qiu has deployed the double midfielder combination of Davis and Makelele in this game, Ronaldinho on the left side of the frontcourt went to participate in the America's Cup, Lampard Just after returning to the team, Ye Qiu lined up a frontcourt lineup of Ribery, Joe Cole and Rooney, with Drogba as the lone forward.

This is actually a set of changes that Ye Qiu is brewing. He wants to see if Joe Cole can play the core of the midfield when Deco and Ronaldinho are both absent. effect.

The results proved that Joe Cole was in excellent and amazing form. He got full opportunities to display his delicate skills and creativity in the game, because Ribery and Rooney were frequently active on the wings, and Drogba was very active on the wings. Er blocked the defensive pressure in front, and with Davis and Makelele behind him, Joe Cole showed his strength unscrupulously.

The 10:0 victory was indeed surprising. Chelsea showed excellent offensive capabilities in this game, especially on the two wings. Evra on the left was in excellent form, and Ribery Their partnership is the source of Chelsea's offense, and the combination of Sun Jihai and Rooney on the right is no less impressive, especially Rooney. He and Drogba in the frontcourt are like two rampaging bulls, causing chaos in Oxford United's defense. The wind roared.

Ye Qiu was full of praise for this warm-up match, thinking that the team had shown a good momentum, and more importantly, the results of training were shown in the game, which was more satisfying than anything else.

"After hard training and physical reserves, the players were able to perform so well, which really surprised me and made me very satisfied, because I could feel their fatigue before the game, but I asked them We worked harder and showed our spirit and fighting spirit. As a result, they showed me the hope that we can continue to challenge for various championships in the new season. I firmly believe that in the new season, we will still be the most powerful contender for all championships! "

Ye Qiu's statement also won the recognition of the players. Among them, captain Terry said, "After the outstanding performance last season, we have obviously become more confident. If anyone asks, what is the double champion of the European Championship and the Premier League? What we have brought, there is no doubt, it must be confidence. The two championships have allowed us to see our strength and level more clearly.”

"In the new season, we have received outstanding reinforcements. We have become more mature and stronger. We will launch a new round of impact on every championship. No one will be satisfied with last season's results. Double champion, we hope to create an even better peak under the leadership of the leader!”

But just when Chelsea defeated its opponent and was about to leave for the United States, the English media suddenly broke the news that Abramovich would not accompany the team to the United States. So some media broke the news that this was because of Russia People are dissatisfied with Ye Qiu, and there is news that at the critical moment when the team is preparing for the game, Abramovich has not appeared at the Cobham training base for a long time.

"It is revealed that Abramovich had already finalized the transfer of Shevchenko with AC Milan, and he hoped to use Davis as a transfer bargaining chip to let Nuclear Warhead join Chelsea, but Ye Qiu strongly opposed it. With this transfer, he believes that Drogba will be a vital member of the team, and Davis is also indispensable to the team.”

"According to the reporter's internal contacts at Chelsea, after Ye Qiu won the double, his status in the hearts of London and Chelsea fans was at its peak. Even Abramovich would find it difficult to shake Ye Qiu's role in the team and the Chelsea fans. Influence in the hearts of fans, so when Ye Qiu vetoed the transfer, Abramovich went on vacation in anger and did not come back after the team training. "

After this piece of news was published, the outside world immediately started talking about it, because the news was all about the details and content, and in the past year, Abramovich has indeed been constantly linked to Shevchenko, and even some Reporters photographed Shevchenko and Abramovich watching the Champions League final together.

But suddenly, both Abramovich and Shevchenko disappeared, and Ye Qiu suddenly announced the introduction of Rooney. This was considered a compromise to Abramovich's superstar strategy, and the club owner and head coach This resulted in an irresolvable conflict between them.

Regarding this piece of news, Chelsea officials immediately responded. Peter Kenyon, who will accompany the team to the United States, clarified that there were no problems between Abramovich and head coach Ye Qiu, and that all aspects were well coordinated.

"In fact, Ye Qiu's contract renewal was decided and supervised by the boss himself!"

As for Rooney, Peter Kenyon also said that Chelsea has long been interested in this young English genius, but it has always been relatively low-key and not too public. It is definitely not the result of compromise as the outside world said.

But it is obvious that the rumors are so realistic that many of the details and inside stories make people feel that this is not a rumor at all, because many things in it are too coincidental and even so convincing that it is too hard to believe that this is fake news. .

Later, the media revealed that in the contract Ye Qiu signed with Chelsea a year ago, and in the terms of the contract he renewed with Chelsea, there is also a secret clause, that is, at any time and under any circumstances, Ye Qiu will The right to unilaterally terminate this contract without paying Chelsea liquidated damages.

In addition, it was revealed that a very important reason why Ye Qiu has not been able to finalize this year's contract renewal negotiations is that Ye Qiu needs to get a guarantee, that is, he will be responsible for the team's signings and transfers. decision-making power, while ensuring the stability of the team's lineup, and this is precisely the biggest difference between him and Abramovich.

"We can analyze that Ye Qiu is very satisfied with the players he has cultivated and promoted, and Chelsea's strong combat effectiveness has been very obvious last season. Everyone can see that Chelsea is already the best player in today's football team. One of the strongest teams in the world.”

"In this case, we have reason to believe that when Ye Qiu feels that his players and lineup are threatened, he will definitely stand up to protect his players and rights, but for Abramovich as the boss For example, after the team won the double championship, his ambitions became obviously greater. As early as when he acquired Chelsea, he said that his biggest wish was to build Chelsea into a galactic battleship like Real Madrid. With the momentum of the double championship, he has every chance to achieve this.”

"From our understanding of Chelsea and interviews with Chelsea players, it is not difficult to conclude that Ye Qiu is deeply loved and supported by players and fans. He is the well-deserved king of Chelsea. Don't forget that the owner of Chelsea is Abramovich. Vicki, he is the only decision-maker to decide Chelsea’s fate!”

The rumors have been analyzed more and more, and more and more media have dug up some insider information. For example, Shevchenko has appeared in Chelsea games many times, and Abramovich and Pini Zahavi are good friends. , but Pini Zahavi has contacted Shevchenko many times, and even the relationship between Pini Zahavi and Frank Arneson was exposed.

Frank Arnesen, everyone knew that he and Ye Qiu were mortal enemies. Their feud was still a hot topic in the Netherlands back then.

So, after combining so much information, everyone came to the conclusion that it seemed that Abramovich was going to fire Ye Qiu for not obeying his will and orders!

As the rumors grew more and more, and they had obviously affected the players, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Ye Qiu had to accept a pre-season interview with Martin Samuel of The Times the night before leaving for the United States, and once again made it clear that he His ability to control the team and his determination to stay at Chelsea. At the same time, in order to appease Rooney and the players, he repeatedly stated that Rooney was the player he personally requested to introduce.

"I can reiterate once again that in Chelsea's current lineup, the person who makes the decision to stay, leave or introduce every player is me and only me. No one can change my opinion. The responsibility of this team, and no one knows the strength of this team better than me, we will continue to achieve our glory!”

"I can't say much to those who think I'm leaving Chelsea, but I can say for sure that if I do leave Chelsea one day, it will be because some people want to force me to leave. That won’t be now!”

When Martin Samuel asked who wanted to force Ye Qiu away, Ye Qiu chose to remain silent, but he denied that it was Abramovich, "I still have a good relationship with Roman. Communication, we just had a phone call yesterday, and he also told me that he was on vacation and could not accompany the team. I hope that our new season can continue the glory of last season. "

Ever since, the media have believed that the person who really wants to force Ye Qiu away is probably Abramovich's good friend Pini Zahavi. This Israeli has always been regarded as having a decisive influence on Chelsea. A powerful person, because he was the one who single-handedly facilitated Abramovich's acquisition of Chelsea.

Now, the new season is about to come, and the competition is about to come out, but at this time, such news comes out, which shakes the morale of the army. The only one who can do such a thing is obviously Pini Zahavi.

As the truth gradually unfolded, more and more Chelsea fans joined the ranks of those who denounced Pini Zahavi, believing that the Israelis wanted to disrupt Chelsea's morale because he was a good friend of Manchester United and Ferguson, and that they had other purposes.

It was amid such a wave of voices that Chelsea left London and arrived in the United States.
