U/18/03, 10 a.m. sharp.

The Stamford Bridge press conference was attended by more than 100 media and journalists from the UK and Europe.

Just now, in the middle of the Stamford Bridge stadium, they personally received a Chelsea blue shirt with his name on the back from the new owner of the club, Roman Abramovich, thus officially confirming that Chelsea will officially enter the Yeqiu era from today.

After the signing ceremony, everyone moved to the press conference, and Ye Qiu quickly walked into the venue accompanied by Abramovich, and the scene suddenly flashed a dazzling magnesium light, and everyone's attention fell on Ye Qiu, and there is no doubt that he will also become the object of discussion among fans in the world in these two days.

With a black suit and a white shirt, with the iconic short hair, the whole person looks indescribably spirited, very neat, coupled with the smile that always hangs on his lips, it is easy to win the favor of everyone present.

'I'm very happy that Chelsea have just entered a new era, we have welcomed the best manager in Europe in the past few years, Ye Qiu has just won the European Champions Cup, he knows very well how to build a new and full of fighting team, and he is also very good at coaching a top team.

'I am delighted to announce to all Chelsea fans that today, we welcome Ye Qiu and I believe that in the next few years, he will bring us a beautiful football, bringing unprecedented results and glory to all of us, because he and I, and all Chelsea fans, have the same belief that we strive for the best."

"Finally, I'm here to represent Chelsea, to represent all Chelsea fans, welcome Ye Qiu"

After speaking, Abramovich turned to Ye Qiu, who was slowly on stage, and clasped his hands together vigorously, the applause at the scene became extremely warm, and everyone was taking pictures hard.

After shaking hands with Ye Qiu, Abramovich took the initiative to step aside, so that Ye Qiu could face all the reporters alone.

"I am very grateful to President Abramovich for the kind words he has addressed me, and I am very happy to be here." Ye Qiu politely turned around and expressed his gratitude to Abramovich.

'I'm going to start a new adventure at Chelsea today, and I know that there have been all sorts of concerns and doubts about us as a team over the last few years, but I can tell everyone with a lot of certainty that from today you will see a new Chelsea'

'Our goal is as clear as always, which is that we only do the best in the Premier League, we want to be the best, and in Europe we do the best we can be, I know it's not easy, but I'm confident that we can do it and make all the Chelsea fans happy.'

Ye Qiu's speech also received a round of warm applause from everyone at the scene, and then, Chelsea's press officer directly announced that the press conference entered the on-site question session, and suddenly more than 100 reporters on the scene raised their hands high, making the entire press conference scene like a forest, spectacular.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, I am a reporter for The Times, we all heard you say that you only do the best, so I believe that there are many readers and fans like me who will be interested, will you continue to insist on the attacking football you advocate at Ajax?"

Ye Qiu smiled and waited until the reporter sat down, taking the opportunity to think about the wording, "You know, the Premier League is different from other leagues, the competition here is more fierce than the Eredivisie, the pace here is faster than Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga, and the impact is stronger, this is a relatively unfamiliar league environment for me."

"I'm going to work hard to adapt to this environment, I'm sure I'll be able to adapt to it very quickly, but one thing I will never change, and that's my quest for attacking football, I want my team to play the most beautiful football and bring the most pleasing passion to all the fans who support me, and that's my belief that I won't waver."

'Of course, we will have all kinds of problems, we will have a lot of problems, for example, the football environment in the Premier League is completely different from the Eredivisie, Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga, but I am sure we will be able to overcome it'

Ye Qiu's answer was once again applauded, after all, in the current football environment, there are not many head coaches who dare to boast that they must insist on playing offensive football, and Ye Qiu has just won the European Champions Cup, which makes him undoubtedly considered by many fans to be a representative figure of offensive football.

Now, his answer has once again cemented everyone's view of where Chelsea are headed.

"Hello Mr. Ye Qiu, I'm a reporter for the Guardian, and we're all excited to hear your commitment to attacking football, and we're all equally curious to ask, what do you think of this current Chelsea team? When you take the helm of the team, will you make a major roster reshuffle, as the outside world speculates? And are you worried that this will affect your grades? ”

Ye Qiu couldn't help nodding, "This question is very good, the first thing I want to answer is that stability is the foundation for any team to achieve results and achieve brilliance, without a stable environment and long-term accumulation, no team can win the championship, so stability is very, very important." ”

'But we also have to see that whether it's the Premier League or European competitions, the competition is very fierce, and we have to keep up with the times and keep the team competitive at all times, so that we can make sure that we can compete with strong opponents, and that requires us to strengthen and improve in some weak areas, which requires reinforcements.

"Because I don't know much about the current situation of the team, I can't answer more detailed questions at the moment"

Next, Ye Qiu answered some questions from reporters one after another, basically revolving around Chelsea's plans for the new season, but Ye Qiu has long been familiar with how to deal with the media, he is no longer the chick when he first took over Ajax, in the past few years, after the tempering of the media, he has long been able to deal with it skillfully.

'Yes, Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are both very good managers in the world, Manchester United and Arsenal are the most competitive teams in the Premier League, but I don't think they are invincible, I'm confident that we can do better and better than them, and I'm personally looking forward to playing against Manchester United and Arsenal, it's going to be very interesting.'

"Mr. Ye Qiu, what do you think of your predecessor Ranieri?" The Sun's reporters ask questions in the same way as this newspaper, which likes to create contradictions and conflicts.

Ye Qiu smiled, "We have many, many differences, even complete opposites, but Ranieri is a very good manager, I think he is far underestimated by the outside world, and he deserves everyone's respect, including me." ”

And when another reporter stood up and asked Ye Qiu about the team's goals for the new season, Ye Qiu replied with a smile, "Champion"

The words were concise and to the point, but they made everyone present feel Ye Qiu's high fighting spirit.

Young and passionate have always been the two labels that the outside world appreciates most about Ye Qiu, the former gives Ye Qiu endless energy, and the latter allows Ye Qiu to maintain a strong desire to fight anytime and anywhere, he will never be willing to accept defeat, and will never give up the tireless pursuit of the championship.

Through this press conference, all the reporters on the scene can clearly feel that even if they have successfully won a Champions League trophy, Ye Qiu still has not let his passion fade, and he is still full of desire and pursuit for the future and victory.

Impeccable, this is everyone's impression of Ye Qiu's debut at Chelsea

At the end of the press conference, Ye Qiu discussed with the club's management non-stop.

After Abramovich entered Chelsea, Bates's old department left one after another, resulting in a power vacuum in Chelsea's management.

In the competitive field, Ye Qiu is in charge, and Abramovich has only one requirement for him, a championship

The meeting is actually communication, Ye Qiu said his thoughts and requirements to the management, and the management replied, which was very simple.

After the meeting, Ye Qiu returned directly to the Elizabeth Hotel, located in the heart of London.

By this time, at the Elizabeth Hotel, several assistants who had arrived in London from Amsterdam had already arrived.

With Van Basten coming to power, he will definitely want to have a coaching team of his own, and it turns out that Ye Qiu entered the Ajax club empty-handed, which makes not all the members of the coaching staff who have partnered with him before willing to leave Ajax, such as Bobby Harms, Rick Link and Blind.

Bobby Harms is still Ajax's high-ranking old courtier, Rick Link will become De Tokmost's youth director, and Blind is Van Basten's right-hand man, and all three have basically been heavily used by Ajax.

Ye Qiu was able to take away only Roland, Mulensteen, Moniz and Peter Brandt this time.

Roland has partnered with Ye Qiu for the longest time, and he understands Ye Qiu's needs best, many times even Ye Qiu doesn't need to say, he knows how to do it, maybe this Dutch fat man has such and such shortcomings, but another thing is lacking by other members of the coaching staff, that is, gregarious.

Sometimes Ye Qiu felt that gregariousness seemed to be the patent of all fat people, and Roland was a likable fat man.

Technique carving and technique analysis, these are Muhrensteen and Moniz's forte, these two disciples of scientific and chemical training have already classified themselves into Ye Qiu's faction as early as three or four years after partnering with Ye Qiu, and with Van Basten's coming to power, as the so-called son of heaven and courtier, they are definitely not as popular as Ye Qiu.

As for Peter Brandt, the man who is very good at physical training and targeted analysis is the focus of Ye Qiu, and he promises to give Peter Brandt more facilities, more advanced equipment and, of course, a higher salary package at Chelsea.

In this way, Ye Qiu's coaching staff is basically the same, but Ye Qiu still feels a little little.

"We also need a goalkeeper coach, and a chief assistant coach who specializes in first-team training and instilling tactics" Ye Qiu met this group of old partners in his room and directly said what he needed.

The goalkeeper coach has always been a flaw of Ye Qiu's coaching staff before, because he has always used Ajax's goalkeeper coach to preside over the work, but now as soon as Ranieri leaves, there is a vacancy in Chelsea's goalkeeper coach, and he needs to find someone to fill this vacancy.

In the past, when Ye Qiu was designing tactics, Bobby Harms and Rick Link were able to assist from the side, and these two people have always been Ye Qiu's right-hand men at Ajax, specializing in first-team training and targeted tactical drills and indoctrination, but now, they all choose to stay and help Van Basten.

In this regard, Ye Qiu is both understanding and sad, after all, in the eyes of Bobby Harms and Ricklink, Ajax is more important than anything, so they are not ready to leave Ajax, especially Bobby Hams, he has played for Ajax all his life, how can he leave when he is old?

"Goalkeeper coach, I have a candidate."

Ye Qiu looked at Roland, "Tell me, who?" ”

"Frans Hawke." Rowland said.

Ye Qiu frowned and shook his head, "I haven't heard of this name, who is it?" ”

Whether it was Mulenstin or Moniz, or even Peter Brandt, they all shook their heads vigorously, it was obvious that this was not a very famous person, at least not very famous.

"It's not surprising that you don't know him, because before you came to Ajax, he went to Barcelona with Louis van Gaal," Roland said with a smile, the fat man was a little proud, as if the whole world knew what he did, "He raised Van der Sar when he was at Ajax, and Stekelenberg was also influenced by him, and after he went to Barcelona, he trained Reyna and Valdés. ”

"Oh, I remember," Peter Brandt was the first to react, "he has written a lot of books, many of his books are considered official textbooks by the Dutch Football Association, UEFA and FIFA, and although he is only in his forties now, he has more than ten years of experience. ”

"Yes, that's him," Roland immediately smiled and nodded.

"However, he has always been Van Gaal's right-hand man," Peter Brandt also voiced his concerns.

Roland shrugged his shoulders, "Van Gaal has been out of class and is now at home, Frans Hawke is also unemployed now, he needs a job very much, you know, usually those of us who work as assistants are paid less"

"Is this a pretext to complain to me?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Everyone suddenly laughed, leaving Ajax and coming to Chelsea, Ye Qiu won a much higher salary for them than in Ajax, after all, this is the Premier League, one of the top leagues of the four major leagues.

"I've got a bit of a relationship with Frans Hawke, I know he needs to work now, and the way he trains is very different from other goalkeeper coaches, I think he's very close to your tactical characteristics, he doesn't just put the goalkeeper outside the team's tactical system, but thinks that the goalkeeper can contribute in defense and attack in addition to saving the ball."

Ye Qiu's tactics are to take a high position defense, adopt an active midfield pressing and pressing tactics, which will definitely bring omissions to the back line, which also requires the goalkeeper to expand his defensive range, so Ye Qiu chose Van der Sar because Van der Sar can adjust and change his position and touch the ball according to the actual situation of the team.

He can help defenders seal the space behind them, but also launch a counter-attack after holding the ball, and he is also the most important link in the team's possession system, which makes Van der Sar a goalkeeper with a great role in the overall defensive system.

Of course, fans generally don't notice this, and in their opinion, the return pass to the goalkeeper is just a choice that they are forced to make when the attack is ineffective, but they don't know that the goalkeeper is definitely the widest view of all the players on the pitch, and he can know the situation on the pitch better than anyone else.

Hearing Roland say this, Ye Qiu remembered.

In his previous life, he once read a piece of news, which mentioned the outbreak of Spanish goalkeeper talent, and believed that the Spanish goalkeeper talent reserve was the first in the world, so some reporters went to dig out the training methods of Spanish goalkeepers, but it turned out that a large part of the goalkeeper training methods in Spain were left from Van Gaal's time in Barcelona.

And in the end, according to the introduction of Sombard, the goalkeeper coach of Deportivo La Coruna, the head of the goalkeeper coach training course of the Spanish Football Association at that time, these are all learned by the Spaniards from Van Gaal's assistant Frans Hawke.

'He made us realize that goalkeepers can also play a big role in the team's attacking and defensive system, and his training method surprised us all and made us realize that goalkeepers can also train in the same way'

Later, Frans Hawke accompanied Van Gaal to Bayern, he has always been Van Gaal's right-hand man, and he has done a very good job, but due to the ups and downs of Van Gaal's coaching results, coupled with the lack of reputation for the position of goalkeeper coach, Frans Hawke has never been familiar.

But it can be said that his role in promoting the goalkeeper position to be more in line with the requirements of modern football tactics is very huge, at least the emergence of a large number of outstanding goalkeepers in Spain, including Casillas, Reina, Valdés, De Gea, etc., has his direct or indirect credit.

But more importantly, his style is very much to Ye Qiu's taste, and in this regard, Ye Qiu and Van Gaal are the same.

"Are you familiar with Frans Hawke?" Ye Qiu looked at Roland and asked.

"Okay," Rowland said with a smile.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Okay, you go to contact him, and say that I am willing to hire him to join my coaching staff at a higher salary than he has ever had, but there must be one condition, that is, before the contract expires, he must concentrate on staying and helping me, I don't want to see Van Gaal return to coaching, he will immediately switch to Van Gaal." ”

Roland thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll go talk to him." ”

After getting the goalkeeper coach, Ye Qiu also has a good candidate for his chief assistant, but it will take some time to convince this person, but if he is willing to join, the strength of his own coaching staff is only higher than that of Ajax in the past.
