With Glen Shire, Hasselbaink, Petit, Desailly, Gianfranco Zola and other players leaving Stamford Bridge one after another, the rest of the people are obviously feeling a lot of noise, and they will inevitably be a little worried.

Who will be the next to leave?

Ye Qiu had been fully prepared for this point for a long time, and he called Terry, Frank Lampard, Gallas, Cudicini, Gudjohnsen, Hasselbaink and Robert Hutter to communicate with them for some simple communication.

It was in this phone call that Hasselbaink asked Ye Qiu to give the main position a commitment, but Ye Qiu couldn't help it, and in the end, after negotiating with the agent, the Dutchman decided to leave, Ye Qiu was also very crisp and neat, and he didn't keep it, so he let him go.

This incident fully demonstrates Ye Qiu's control and management of this team, and also allows players who are familiar with the inside story to feel the authority of the head coach, that is, anyone who wants to leave can do it, in a word

Landing at Stamford Bridge with the aura of a Champions League winner, Ye Qiu has enough chips to hold down this group of stars.

John Terry and Frank Lampard both returned to London from early holidays and attended the press conference announcing Claude Makellele's arrival, while the French star's move to Chelsea for a whopping UU million euros has been a big news story in European and world football in the past two days.

Real Madrid, with the money from the sale of Makelele, is now attacking Arsenal's Vieira with all its might, striving to acquire the French midfielder superstar in two months' time, while Vieira, Henry, and Ashley Cole have been arguing with the club over contract renewal and salary issues, and it is uncertain whether to leave or not.

With the addition of Claude Makelele, Deco, Edgar Davies and Scott Parker, Lampard felt a pressure because he knew very well that these players were competing for positions with him, and they were all strong players, especially Makelle and Edgar Davies, who were both famous players in Europe.

Thinking about it, Lampard's mood was a little low, not as happy as Terry.

The latter, who returned to London a day before Frank Lampard, had already travelled to Harrington yesterday to speak to Ye Qiu, who not only promised to give him the Premier League's highest weekly salary of £90,000, but also handed him the captain's armband for the new season, hoping that he could lead by example and play the role of captain of the team.

"Don't worry so much, Frank, tell me personally that you're in his plan and it's important," said Terry, who is now the captain of the team and needs Lampard's help, patted Frank Lampard on the shoulder.

Frank Lampard nodded, but he couldn't hide the worry on his face, because since Makelele and Davies are in the midfield position, what else do you want Frank Lampard to do?

At the press conference, Ye Qiu publicly stated that he is already very satisfied with the team's current squad, and he is proud of the club's ability to operate before the training camp, unless there are more attractive players in the transfer market, Chelsea's transfer this summer will be closed.

It's also a sign that Chelsea will be aiming for the Premier League title with this line-up.

No one can deny that Chelsea has built up this set of squad after investing more than 100 million euros, almost every player has proven his strength, and the key depends on the tactics and blending ability of head coach Ye Qiu.

And at this press conference, Ye Qiu also made no secret of his ambition for the Premier League title, he said that the team has invested so much, there is only one goal, that is, the championship, he wants to impact the Premier League championship and break the monopoly of Manchester United and Arsenal

Those words sound very exciting for the likes of Frank Lampard and John Terry, after all, every player wants to play under an ambitious and ambitious manager, not a dead team.

Ye Qiu also noticed Lampard's presence, so after the press conference, he walked over to him, and after saying hello, he went to Ye Qiu's office at Stamford Bridge.

The office was shabby and empty, with a set of desks and chairs and a set of sofa TVs, and nothing else.

After walking in, the central air conditioning was turned on, and Ye Qiu beckoned Lampard to sit casually, while he sat down opposite Lampard.

"First of all, Frank, I have to say that you don't have to worry about your place in the new season at all, and if you can, I want you to be able to play all the games because your role in this team is going to be huge."

Ye Qiu likes to get straight to the point, he doesn't like those twists and turns, it's just a waste of time.

Lampard didn't expect Ye Qiu to be so direct, but from Ye Qiu's tone, he also heard that the manager was not fooling.

"Maybe you think that if you bring in great players such as Edgar Davies, Claude Makelele, Scott Parker, etc., your position will be shaken, then you are wrong, in my positioning of you, your position is no longer a midfielder, but in advance"

When he said this, Ye Qiu smiled, took out a stack of documents from the briefcase next to him, and handed them to Lampard, and saw that Lampard's data and photos were pasted on the cover of the documents, and below was his analysis of each season's games.

'I've gotten to know you, and John Terry, every player that the team has left, left, brought in, I have a very detailed report and information on it, and a lot of people define you as all-round, in fact, you're really well-rounded, both defensively and offensively, but more importantly, you have the will of an English player.

Ye Qiu said this and smiled, "You know, I was contacted by teams from Spain, Italy and Germany this summer, but I ended up coming to England, maybe you will think that Chelsea is more sincere and the salary is higher, but not only that, because if I didn't go to Chelsea, I would probably go to Tottenham."

"Tottenham?" Frank Lampard was a little surprised when he spoke for the first time.

"Yes, I remember, you almost went to Tottenham, right?" Ye Qiu asked.

Frank Lampard was convinced, because almost everyone thought he was starting from West Ham United, but in fact, he once wanted to go to Tottenham, because in the early 90s, Tottenham football in England was synonymous with sex and flamboyance, the equivalent of Arsenal now, and many people were eager to go to Tottenham, such as his good friend Jamie Redknapp.

"You know, I've always felt that football is not only about technique, not only about tactics, but also from the level of spirit and will, and even I think spirit and will are more important, because in a game, for a long time you are fighting against your body, you know what I mean?"

Frank Lampard nodded incessantly, believing that all professional players understand that as the fitness wears off, you will find that your worst enemy is not the person standing across from you, but yourself.

'So I love the environment in England where the will to play is, of course, I'm not derogating the other leagues, but I think it's going to be more suitable for me, so I came to England and I think you're going to be the backbone of our team and the face of our Chelsea spirit in England'

Hearing Ye Qiu say this, Lampard couldn't help but believe his words, because at the very least, he understands English football.

"Of course, I must also say that the current environment of English football is not very good, because there are big deficiencies at the technical and tactical level, such as the control of the pace of the game, the control of the ball, the control of their own spirit and excitement, all of which must be well controlled, and a team can achieve better results."

'So we have to make some changes, Ronaldinho, Deco and other new players come in to achieve that, and it's not enough for me to think like that, I need all of you to think that way because we are one'

Lampard listened and nodded again, "I see, head"

Ye Qiu was satisfied with his attitude, "My hope for you is mainly two points, first, John will be the captain of the team, and you are the vice-captain, I hope you can lead by example, play a good role as a captain, maintain order in the locker room, what I hope to see is a disciplined and team-oriented combat force"

After Lampard nodded, Ye Qiu continued: "Second, about you personally, I hope you can better integrate into the team's technical and tactical system, about these, I will talk to you in detail in the next training camp, but I can tell you very clearly, my requirements for you have changed, I need you to be more advanced"

Going further up is definitely a big temptation for Lampard, because who wouldn't want to be further forward?

"Your role will no longer be from the box to the box, because we have a very clear division of labor, I will shorten your coverage and running range, but I want you to be more focused on the game, in terms of possession, playmaking, attack, defence and pressing, play your strengths, your versatility"

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu smiled and patted Lampard on the shoulder, "I am confident enough that if every player keeps enough focus and gives it their all, we can win everything at the end of the season."

Win it all?

Frank Lampard looked up, it was a desire he had before, but it had never been fulfilled or even seen.

But now, he really sees hope.

Roman Abramovich's arrival changed Chelsea's situation and injected more money into the team, while Ye Qiu's arrival brought the aura of European Champions League champions and brought a group of outstanding stars to the team, coupled with his words, Lampard saw the title hope in his heart for the first time.

'I promise, head' Lampard replied solemnly as he stood up.

Although the first game of the Premier League season is due to be played on 17 August, Chelsea's first game away to Liverpool at Anfield is the highlight, but it will not be Chelsea's first official game of the new season.

On 13 August, Chelsea have a third-round European Champions League qualifier and only one win will be needed to qualify for the group stage, and this season's Champions League will be played in a new format with only one group stage.

Ye Qiu can't say who the opponent of this game is, and he has to wait for the draw, but Chelsea's pre-season preparations have to be advanced because of this, so the team gathered on July 7, and the whole team reported to the Harrington training base, conducted a series of physical tests, held an internal meeting of the team, and by the way, let Ye Qiu meet with each player, and then fly to Austria.

This time, Chelsea's choice of training camp is not in the Austrian plateau, but in the small town of Ildenin near Graz at an altitude of about 700 meters, because the choice of training here is not too high, and secondly, it is convenient for the team to play warm-up games, and at the same time, it can also avoid disturbance from the outside world.

It is difficult to say whether high-altitude training is good or bad, because football is a team sport, and high altitude may be a good thing for this player and bring great help, but it may not be for another person, because the players are physically different, and some people may even have altitude sickness.

Because of this, Ye Qiu finally chose Yierdening, because there is a holiday home with very complete facilities, a collection of hotels, gyms, swimming pools and a series of sports equipment, as well as two high-standard full-size training grounds, so there are often some teams who choose to train here

The altitude of Ildenin is not high, and it is a bit of a plateau training! effect, there is no need to worry about the players will overreact, and quiet, it is indeed a very ideal training environment.

After careful and careful testing, the team sent a test report to each player, who was overweight, how much overweight, and some physical injuries were clearly listed, so that all players can know their physical condition.

Ye Qiu directly said his requirements when he met with the players for the first time.

"I like to grasp the details, and many times, my attention to the details may even be difficult for you to accept, but from now on, you should learn to accommodate me, otherwise you will feel very uncomfortable, such as diet and daily habits."

"My requirements in this regard have been clearly expressed through the locker room discipline manual, I believe you can also see that during the team's training camp, everyone eats together, the recipe is set by us, and the same is true for the schedule and rest time during the league in the future, I will ask the day before the game, and you will do the rest by yourself."

After a pause, Ye Qiu reminded with a smile, "But there are two problems I want to remind you, no matter who you are, if your weight and work and rest do not meet the requirements, or if it affects the state of the game, you will sit on the cold bench."

"I've heard that in the past, players were free to be interviewed by reporters after every training session, but from now on, I'm going to readjust this rule, all journalists who want to interview players must first pass the application, approved by the coaching staff, and only after each training session will be allocated 15 minutes."

"Remember, guys, it's not allowed without an application, or if it's out of the range."

This is also in the discipline manual, because Ye Qiu has a deep understanding of the development of the British media, and he also knows very well that he can't let the media invade his team too much.

London is a decadent paradise of flowers, and it couldn't be easier to change a person.

"And about the team, I like players with a sense of team responsibility, and I don't deny that some players are indeed talented, but please remember to integrate your talent and performance into the team as a whole, because in my team, there will be no one who can transcend the whole and break away from the team, and I can't let the kind of people who don't have a team and no sense of responsibility play on behalf of my team."

Integrity is one of the most typical signs of Ye Qiu's coaching of Ajax, and many people are amazed by the integrity of this team, and they also admire Ye Qiu's ability to blend so many players together and be inclusive.

But Ye Qiu himself knows very well that there can't be a black sheep in a team, as long as a player's heart is scattered, it will immediately spread like a cancer to the heart of every player, and at that time, the team will be difficult to control.

Therefore, Ye Qiu likes to say the words first, and write all those disciplines into the manual, so that they are all clear about their requirements.

"I also think that players who are focused on the game and are fighting every minute and every second, even if they are less qualified, even if they are less talented, it doesn't matter, because hard work can make them play better and better, and such players should have more opportunities."

"In my team, all the players are equal, no matter where you come from, no matter how much you are worth, no matter what you have achieved in the past, come to me, you are just players, players who compete with each other, there is no absolute main force and substitute, there is no indispensable role, you are just players"

"I have to remind you of two things, first, in my team, I'm the boss and I have the final say"

"Second, let me remind you once again that I am the boss of the team, the only indispensable person"

Ye Qiu expressed his attitude and position so strongly in the first internal meeting of the team, so that everyone present felt his authority, so no matter what they wanted next, they must at least weigh whether they have enough weight to challenge the prestige of the head coach.

"Finally, what I want to say is that I know that many of you have a lot of honors, and there may even be people who look down on me in their hearts, thinking that I am young and have won a Champions League, for me, what you think of me, I don't care, as long as you obey, I don't care, but I want to remind you from the bottom of my heart, think about it, you came to Chelsea just to get a higher salary? Better treatment? Or do you want to win something and prove something on this basis? ”

"You all think about it"

In this way, Ye Qiu ended his first internal meeting at Chelsea, and after the meeting, I believe that many players will be thinking about Ye Qiu's words in their heads.

Everybody is ambitious, whether they're a big star or a little-known person, they're going to be ambitious, and when they come to Chelsea, they come to the Premier League, they naturally want to win something, prove something.
