After two weeks of closed training, the team finally ushered in its first premiere on the evening of L.

This time, the opponent is Freiburg from the Bundesliga, whose strength is not very good, and it is the promotion horse of the Bundesliga this season, but Ye Qiu intends to use this game to test the performance of the players and the team.

The starting goalkeeper was Edwin van der Sar, with Patrice Evra, Gallas, John Terry and McCone at the back, Edgar Davies, Claude Makelele and Deco in midfield, with Ronaldinho and Frank Lampard behind Drogba in an irregular 43l position.

This game is Ye Qiu's first game in charge of Chelsea, Ye Qiu has spent two weeks instilling his own tactical ideas in the team, and now it is time to inspect the results, so Ye Qiu didn't say much, just told the players to keep the overall formation compact, and use the team's passing and receiving coordination and game control to suppress the opponent.

Chelsea started the game well, with the crowd cheering on with around 4,000 Austrian and two teams in attendance, keeping the game firmly in control.

Freiburg had wanted to capitalise on their opening game and had prepared specifically for Chelsea, but when it came to the game, they had to break down and find that Chelsea were so controlled that Chelsea were able to control the surrounding area almost no matter where their ball was shifted.

Ye Qiu kept shouting and adjusting on the sidelines, because this kind of game can make him find the omissions in the cooperation between the players, and also allow him to adjust the responsibilities and positions of the players, so that the players and the team can play better and run in more harmoniously.

Throughout the first half, Freiburg did not play the slightest threat, and they were more likely to create a slight threat through long balls and long-range shots, but it was difficult to shake Chelsea's tactical foundations.

John Terry and Edwin van der Sar firmly controlled the team's air supremacy, while the midfielders were desperately suppressing Freiburg, and the team's entire defensive line was boldly pressed forward, even if Freiburg clearly saw that there was a large gap behind Chelsea, but what could they do? Counterattack? All right?

They don't have a speedy striker, but the problem is that their strikers can't be offside, and as long as Chelsea's two centre-backs, Gallas and John Terry, are focused and controlled at all times, so that the opposing strikers can't pull into space to sprint, then the speed of the strikers will be difficult to use.

Speedy strikers don't have an effect, and the threat of counter-attacking is small.

In this game, Ye Qiu was more about adjusting the team's midfield and the run-in of the backline, and the adjustment of the attack was not very obvious, so Chelsea's attack never threatened, which made the whole team take advantage of it and created a lot of opportunities, but there was no way to score.

In the second half, when Ye Qiu was at halftime, he replaced Van Persie, Gudjohnsen, Joe Cole, Ribery, Parker, Sun Jihai, Robert Hout and Cudicini and other players in one go, so that everyone understood that this was just a warm-up game.

Because of such a large substitution, Chelsea still did not score in the game, there were many opportunities, but they did not take advantage of them, and in the end they could only let their first warm-up game debut draw at 00.

All the media, reporters and fans in attendance will not be satisfied with this warm-up match, because they were expecting it to be a hearty victory, a typical Ye Qiu-style offensive football style, but at the end of the day it seems to be a bit dull and a little lacking in eye-catching performances.

Regarding this, Ye Qiu said in an interview with The Times and other reporters after the game that he was not worried.

"We have been through two weeks of intensive training and the players are generally tired, lacking excitement and excitement, and this is just one part of our preparation for the league, the real game will not be until mid-August, and we still have plenty of time to adjust slowly."

As for his performance of the players in this game, Ye Qiu gave a high score of 90 points.

"I told the players before the game that the warm-up game is a game where the process is more important than the result, we can score a lot of goals in the game, but the process does not meet my requirements, this kind of game is zero points for me, and like today, the game process played my requirements, played our new style, even if there are no goals, it is a high score."

A keen reporter at the scene immediately noticed the meaning of Ye Qiu's words, and immediately asked with a smile: "Mr. Ye Qiu, we have all noticed that Chelsea's performance in this game seems to be more in overall defense, or control of the game, many people say it is very dull, but we have all noticed that the opponent even has only 5 chances to get off the ground, all of which are long-range shots, is this what you call the tactical effect?" ”

Ye Qiuha laughed, "You can look at it this way, but I want to say that it's not just that, it's complicated to say. ”

He spent two weeks instilling in the players, almost every requirement in every position, he laid out very carefully, but it was not the kind of dogmatic request that the players do, but he pointed out to the players their own requirements and tasks, how the players arranged, how to complete, let them do it themselves.

'All I can say is that I want Chelsea to be an invincible and invincible team on any pitch and we won't give our opponents a chance because we're going to crush them before they get a chance'

Ye Qiu's words spread through the media, and immediately attracted a burst of attention, and many people were full of curiosity about this Chelsea team, but it was obvious that in the eyes of everyone, even Chelsea fans, the debut of this team with a total value of more than 100 million was not a success, and it could even be said to be a failure.

The opponent is a promotion horse in the Bundesliga, but Chelsea did not show commendable strength throughout the game, although they controlled the situation, but it was more because the opponent was too weak, so Ye Qiu's debut was a failed work.

But just four days later, in Graz, Chelsea welcomed a local amateur team.

Even if it's just a contest with an amateur team, there are still UU fans who come to the scene.

This time Chelsea did not disappoint those who came to the scene, and Ye Qiu's team completely dominated the game.

The starting line-up is still the same as the previous game, but it is clear that the players' form has improved, and the range and position of the players in the game have been adjusted, and the players have improved their coordination with each other.

In just the opening minute, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball on the left side and broke through the inside cut and crossed low into the penalty area, Drogba carried two defenders with his body and volleyed through the opponent's goal, 0

A typical Ye Qiu attacking style, a typical Premier League-style start, the game was completely taken into Chelsea's control.

Frank Lampard doubled the lead in the second minute, before Ronaldinho also scored in the 28th minute.

In the 34th and 39th minutes, Frank Lampard scored twice and scored a hat-trick in the first half to give his side a 0-0 lead, while McCone and Ronaldinho also scored again in the 43rd and 44th minutes to end the first half.

This made the Chelsea fans who came to the scene excited, in their opinion, this is Ye Qiu's football, the offensive is like a tide, Yu is neat, hearty, and full of praise.

What is even more remarkable is that Chelsea made 15 shots on goal in the first half, all of them from within 30 yards, and scored seven goals, which was very efficient, but their opponents only had L-footed shots, still the kind far from the goal, and did not pose a threat at all.

Judging from the performance in the first half, Deco was very big in the organization and strategy of the midfield, of course, this may have something to do with the harassment and pressure he received; Ronaldinho's ability to handle the ball up front was absolutely impressive, even if it was Frank Lampard who scored the most goals, but the Brazilian was the most eye-catching, and almost every time he got the ball, he was cheered on by the fans.

But the goal performance only lasted for half time, and in the second half, Ye Qiu made a large number of substitutions and tried different lineups, even if Joe Cole, Van Persie and Gudjohnsen all scored successively to help the team defeat the opponent 10-0, but this is still unconvincing in the eyes of many people.

There is only one reason, the opponent is too weak

Ye Qiu did not deny this, but he also mentioned that this game for Chelsea is still only a warm-up game, focusing on the team's tactical coordination routines, as well as the offensive and defensive system, and he thinks the result of the game is not important at all.

'For me, it doesn't matter how many points you score, the important thing is that I see that the players are gradually recovering, I see the effort and focus of each player, and I see that we are more and more like a unit.

'Ronaldinho is really a phenomenal player, and more importantly, he knows how to help himself and his team-mates to score goals and play his tactical role in the team, which I think is more important than anything else; Players such as Frank Lampard, Davies, Deco, Drogba and Claude Makelele are all very important members of the squad. ”

'We were solid at the back, I thought they were very good, Cannavaro came on in the second half and he was out for a long time and I'm confident that he will help the team more and make a bigger impact when he comes back from injury.

Although it is said that it won the game, the outside world still has praise, worry and doubt, which is not surprising, after all, it is only the preparation stage, and the team has not really played satisfactory results, so it is difficult to be convincing.

No, just a 10:0 victory over the opponent, followed by an embarrassing 0 victory.

The opponent was Stuttgart from the Bundesliga, the defense was very good, although Chelsea firmly controlled the game, but Stuttgart did not show any negligence in the defense, and the most difficult thing was to rely on a combination between Ronaldinho and Deco in the first half, and the Brazilian relied on his personal skills to dig a hole in the opponent's defense and score.

The score of 0 is hardly satisfactory, but Ye Qiu is still satisfied with the team's performance, as he said in an interview with reporters, "In the past three games, we have never allowed the opponent to shoot more than 5 times, which is very revealing. ”

However, some media refuted that it was because the opponent was too weak, but the media that supported Chelsea believed that Chelsea was also not in the best condition, and believed that when Ye Qiu adjusted the team to the best state, Chelsea would be stronger than now.

The club's official also expressed its satisfaction with the team's current situation, unbeaten in three warm-up games, if there are any opinions on this, it is really a bit too much to say, Abramovich reaffirmed his trust and support for Ye Qiu through the official.

Entering August, Chelsea had their last warm-up game in Austria against Roma from Serie A.

Capello's team is also currently training in Austria, and the two sides hit it off and played a warm-up game.

As a result, Ye Qiu's Chelsea L defeated Fabio Capello's Roma in this game, and Capello's team became the only team to break through the Chelsea goal since the warm-up game, but unfortunately, Roma only had 5 shots on goal, and still failed to break Ye Qiu's statistics in the first game against Freiburg.

Fabio Capello expressed his praise for Chelsea after the game, believing that this is a team that is very game controlling.

"It's hard for me to describe the feeling, because they are in control so strong, it's like a strong arm is around our neck, and we try to break free, try everything we can to get rid of it, but we can't do it at all, and we can only watch ourselves suffocate little by little."

'Chelsea are judged wrong, it's a very strong team and I think they can win something this season'

Ye Qiu also responded to the praise from Capello, believing that Roma's attack made him a little unexpected, Capello proved his coaching ability in Rome, and he is indeed one of the best managers in European football today.

The managers of both teams flattered each other and complimented each other, but the media was not interested at all, just that neither team performed as well as it should, and it was clear that both sides were adjusting.

Ye Qiu and Chelsea also returned to London the day after the warm-up match.

The opponent for the third round of the Champions League qualifiers came out, and it was Slina from Slovakia.

According to the information obtained by Ye Qiu's scouts, Slina is a strong team in the Slovak Super League, and has won the Slovak Super League championship for two consecutive years.

Although it is only a team in the Slovak League, Ye Qiu does not dare to be careless at all, and is preparing carefully, after all, this is the first game of the new season, and it is going to be an away game, and Chelsea has to be careful to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

After returning to London, Ye Qiu focused on the team's performance in the warm-up match in Austria, as well as the training camp! The situation was analysed and sorted out, and then through meetings and reports, a copy of their information during the training camp was distributed to each player! Performance data and analytics reports that hopefully help them make improvements and adjustments.

For this, the players are generally satisfied, because the head coach's work is very meticulous, similar to this kind of things that can make them more aware of their performance and shortcomings, other teams are not very good, but Ye Qiu is very hard, and even pointed out the direction for them in the report through the coaching staff.

From returning to London at the beginning of August to playing in Slovakia on the 13th, Ye Qiu arranged a warm-up match against Reading from League One, who was near London, and Chelsea went to play away.

This is also due to the need to adjust the state of the team, after all, after the high-intensity training camp in Austria and! Ye Qiu knows very well that the Premier League is different from other leagues, and it is necessary to enter the state as soon as possible to ensure that he can stand on his feet more steadily.

Remember Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said, "In the Premier League, you have to start well because the fans can't allow you to play poker for 30 minutes slowly and then get to the point, and they like to enjoy the excitement from the start." ”

For Ye Qiu, the journey to win the Premier League is the same.

Many people say that around the Christmas holiday is the devil's schedule, and no winter break is also the biggest challenge to win the Premier League, Ye Qiu has no experience in this, and his coaching staff is the same, he can only learn some information left by the previous coaching staff through Chelsea, such as Ranieri's preparations for the Christmas holiday and winter break schedule, from which to gain some insights.

Therefore, according to Ye Qiu's idea, he must fight for the advantages of Renneng before the winter break and Christmas holidays, so as to avoid being left behind by the more experienced Manchester United and Arsenal in this period of the devil's schedule.

Therefore, Ye Qiu needs the team to enter the game as quickly as possible after the start of the season.

In the away game against Reading, Ye Qiu no longer insisted on the previous way of playing the main and substitute lineups, but disrupted and divided into two halves to play, but the performance of this game was not very satisfactory, although Chelsea finally won 0, but let Reading create a lot of threats.

The latter also became the team with the most chances to get off the ground against Chelsea this summer, with a total of nine shots on target.

Ye Qiu was not satisfied with the game process, but it was obvious that there were many reasons for this, both player factors and tactical reasons, among which Sun Jihai, who replaced McConn as a right-back, seemed to be a little unconfident in front of his big-name teammates, and he was not decisive enough to handle the ball several times, and there were mistakes, which really made Ye Qiu a little disappointed.

After returning to Harrington, Ye Qiu immediately found his compatriots, and after beating him hard, he encouraged him greatly, hoping that he could be more confident.

And at this time, Eliza brought back a message to Ye Qiu, which made Ye Qiu very happy.
