Volume 1 Chapter 311 If I Don't Win, I Ate the Ball!
Entering the late autumn of October, the weather in London is also getting colder rapidly, and this year there is more rain, at least two of the three days are rainy weather, especially recently, it is not stopping.
Mother Zhang Yuxiu is no stranger to this kind of weather, and said with a smile that it is a bit like a typhoon day in her hometown of Xiamen.
After his father came to live in London for a while, he went back, while Huang Jinsong and his wife traveled around Europe, and from time to time they would come to visit their daughter, and they planned to stay in Europe, and there were many places that were attractive to them.
Ye Qiu has not been in a very good mood recently, after eating breakfast, standing in front of the balcony sliding door, looking at the rainy and hazy courtyard outside, a little distracted, although his team has just defeated the visiting CSKA Moscow 0 at home in the third round of the group stage of the Champions League, winning three consecutive group wins, but still under great pressure.
Their league point with Arsenal quickly expanded to five points, and they lost to the likes of Manchester City.
To be honest, Ye Qiu was a little worried, when playing CSKA Moscow, the team's performance was not ideal, and in the past few days, the training base always seemed to be filled with a depressing atmosphere, and the players seemed to be still immersed in the shadow of losing the game and ending the unbeaten record, which is definitely not a good thing.
Next up is Mark Hughes' Blackburn, which is also a tough team, and although Blackburn is currently in the relegation zone, this team is still very tenacious once it starts to go crazy.
Arsenal also ushered in a college entrance examination, they are going to Manchester to challenge Manchester United, Ferguson's team is now in 8th place in the league, and it is indeed time to need a victory, but Ye Qiu does not know whether Ferguson's team has enough strength to beat the overwhelming Arsenal.
The Gunners' form this season has been a bit frightening, surprising indeed, not just by Thierry Henry, Pire, Reyes and others, but also by Patrick Vieira, with the French midfielder quickly coming out of the summer transfer storm and showing surprising form.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have been frustrating so far this season, with intermittent form and no continuity, and every time they play for the national team, the team will encounter some setbacks, either draws or losses.
Fortunately, October has passed, and there is no national team competition task in the future, so it depends on how Ye Qiu and the coaching staff adjust the state of the players and attack Arsenal around the winter break.
In fact, as early as after negotiating a tacit understanding with the national team coaches, Ye Qiu has already begun to adjust the state of the players, and a very important factor in the loss of Manchester City is that most of the main players are not on it.
Now Ye Qiu's strategy is also very clear, the Champions League group has won three times in a row, and there is no big problem in qualifying from the group, all that remains is to go all out to impact the league, plus it is not affected by the national team competition, if Chelsea does not exert its strength, then this year's league championship may be no play.
Looking at the hazy sky outside the house, Ye Qiu felt that the current situation in Chelsea was the same as the weather in London, it was a sunny rainbow, and if it couldn't survive, maybe it would be a majestic rain.
"Okay, I can go" His wife Huang Chu also finished the nutritious breakfast specially prepared by her mother-in-law Zhang Yuxiu, packed up her things, changed her clothes, walked out of the room, and said to Ye Qiu.
In fact, she has only been pregnant for a long time now, and she can't see that she is pregnant at all, but her waist is a little fatter, and she begins to wear looser clothes, which has a different moving charm, but Zhang Yuxiu is very stubborn about nutrition, and always wants to stuff all the nutritious good things into her daughter-in-law's belly.
Ye Qiu also made a joke about his mother for this, saying that if his daughter-in-law was so fat that he couldn't lose weight, then he would have a hard time in his life
Of course, this is a joke, in fact, from the moment they got married, no matter whether Huang Chu was fat or thin, Ye Qiu would never give up, this was not only a promise when they got married, but also because he really loved Huang Chu very much.
"Okay" Ye Qiu smiled slightly and nodded.
When he arrived in the living room and took the key, Ye Qiu walked to the entrance of the dining room, "Mom, let's go to work"
"Hmm" Zhang Yuxiu was busy in the kitchen, "Eh, Ye Qiu, remember to bring a fish back at noon, and make soup for Achu at night"
"Zhilu Dao" Ye Qiu nodded, smiled at his daughter-in-law, and pursed his lips, as if to say, still drink, you are already fat enough.
Huang Chu looked helplessly aggrieved, took Ye Qiu's coat in his hand, handed it to him, and let him put it on, it was cold outside, but his expression seemed to say, you think I am happy, it's not your mother.
"You two don't rub around over there, you must be talking about me again, hurry up and go to work, drive slower on the road"
Don't listen to Zhang Yuxiu's hard tone, in fact, she is out of concern, which means that if you go to work early, the time on the road can be longer, if it is late, the road must be very rushed, but she speaks very quickly and straightly, and sometimes she can't express it clearly.
However, Ye Qiu and Huang Chu knew her, and they both laughed and went downstairs to the garage.
Originally, there was only two Ferraris with an extra Porsche Cayenne in the garage, and it was brand new, and Ye Qiu only went to buy it not long ago.
To be honest, driving a supercar used to be very cool and enjoyable, but now he has to pick up his daughter-in-law to and from work every day, Ye Qiu wants to be safe, and when Huang Chu's belly is big in the future, it will definitely not be very convenient to take a sports car, so he made a special trip to buy a Cayenne, which is specifically responsible for transporting Huang Chu to and from work.
"You sit in the back" Ye Qiu pointed to the back row, but he got into the car.
Huang Chu grimaced at him, didn't say much, and went directly to the back row, because Ye Qiu said that it was safer to sit in the back row.
Ye Qiu was very fast when he drove alone, but now that there is more Huang Chu, he has become cautious, even if the garage and courtyard at home are relatively large, and it is very convenient to reverse, he is still cautious.
When I got out of the house, I drove easily all the way, even if I was on the highway, it was kept at about 100.
"You've been under a lot of pressure lately, haven't you?" Huang Chu sat in the middle, looking at Ye Qiu from the middle of the two seats in the front row.
"It's okay" Ye Qiu looked ahead and replied, "Losing is not necessarily a bad thing, there is a lot of mental pressure to remain undefeated for a long time, and now that I have lost, it is a big deal to start all over again, it is not a big deal, but it is easy." ”
It's really hard to say, it's all about how your manager directs it.
Recently, Ye Qiu has asked the psychologists on the coaching staff to go all out to provide psychological counseling to the players and relieve their pressure, hoping that they can try to avoid depression caused by conceding goals, on the contrary, he wants to turn the loss into the motivation for the team to rise again
Staying undefeated is like adding luggage to your body, the more undefeated games, the heavier the luggage, now that you lose, throw away these luggage, you can easily go on the road, and Ye Qiu is also fully prepared for this.
It can be said that since the team's long-term undefeated, Ye Qiu has been preparing a pacification plan after losing, but last season was undefeated and won the championship, the team has never lost, and the League Cup and FA Cup are not taken seriously by the team, so this set of plans has never been useful, and now that he has finally lost, it is not necessarily a bad thing.
"Yes, I see you, there was a lot of pressure in the past, and now you are starting over, Yu Crisp just let go a little, don't care what those people say, you just do what you want to do and think you should do." Huang Chu also heard some news.
Ye Qiu nodded gratefully at his wife, although he didn't need others to explain many things, but in the final analysis, it was always a good thing for someone to explain, at least let him know that no matter how big the difficulties he encountered, someone would accompany him to share them.
After Ye Qiu sent Huang Chu to Wellington Hospital, he drove back to the Ring Road, all the way south, straight to Cobham, and soon came to the training base.
Cobham's security team is still very conscientious, even if it is raining, they are still on duty at the sentry, and when they saw Ye Qiu coming, they did not forget to wave at Ye Qiu from the window and send him in.
I parked the car, trotted all the way into the training building in the rain, and went straight to the second floor.
"It's really punctual, 8:30" Roland and they had already arrived, and when they saw Ye Qiu rushing over in the rain, they said with a smile.
According to Ye Qiu's plan, after sending Huang Chu to work, he will come to Cobham, no more, no less, exactly half past eight, of course, sometimes a little blocked, he will drive faster on the highway to make up for it, anyway, the time is about the same.
"It's hard to do a morning training session outside," Tenkart sighed as he looked at the heavy rain outside.
It's been raining for the past few days, but it's basically light, but today it's raining heavily, and it's not as big as a torrential rain, but heavy rain is certain, and if you really want to train in such a heavy rain, it's still more dangerous, such as injuries.
"Outdoor training in the afternoon, in the morning, have a meeting first, and then go to the gym" Ye Qiu immediately made arrangements.
Now this kind of training during the league is more about adjusting the condition of the players for Chelsea, so it can be done on the pitch, it can be done in the gym, and even the players can be rested, it is not a problem.
"By the way, what about the psychiatrist's evaluation report?" Ye Qiu asked casually.
Roland nodded: "It's not bad, at least I didn't find anyone crying"
When these words were spoken, Ye Qiu, Tengkat and others all laughed, because the previous media reported that many players cried after Chelsea's loss, and the source of the news was insiders, which seemed to want to show Chelsea's weakness and vulnerability.
'But we really need a win now,' said Ten Carter.
Ye Qiu nodded, he knew very well that the victory that Ten Carter was talking about was not the kind of 0, but a victory with an absolute advantage, because only in this way can Chelsea's morale and fighting spirit be restored to the greatest extent.
"How's the player recovering?" Ye Qiu asked again.
'Ronaldinho has had two games off, Manchester City and CSKA Most, as well as Deco and Drogba, both two games, I tested Drogba yesterday and he is as strong as an elephant now,' laughed Peter Brandt, who is in charge of the team's medical and fitness.
Every day, before each training session, the coaching staff has the same meeting, where they talk about their respective projects, talk about their situation, and after the exchanges, the head coach makes decisions and coordinates.
It can be said that since the loss to Manchester City, Ye Qiu and everyone have been waiting for this game in the past week
Blackburn Rovers are winless in three games and Hughes' side are clearly at rock bottom, which is undoubtedly very much in line with what Chelsea want right now, which is to play a big win, preferably a hearty one, to rebuild morale
In the first two years of Souness's tenure at Blackburn, because of the club's investment and Souness's tough management, Blackburn's performance has increased year by year after promotion, and even won the League Cup once, which is also the only championship that Souness won at Blackburn, and immediately after, Blackburn's results deteriorated.
Blackburn Rovers almost fell into the relegation zone last season and finished in 15th place, and Blackburn have not strengthened their squad this season, because Souness suddenly switched from Blackburn Rovers to Newcastle, which caught Blackburn off guard, although Mark Hughes rushed to take over, but many things were delayed.
Speaking of which, Souness's transfer to Newcastle is also an open case, because with Souness's performance at Blackburn last season, it is absolutely impossible to call it outstanding, and he can't even get a passing grade, many people think that whether it is Steve Bruce, or Venables, or even Shearer, they are more suitable than Souness to take over the Magpies, but in the end it is Souness.
Ye Qiu can't understand this phenomenon, he believes that even many local football people in England can't understand such a choice, and they even let a better manager choose Souness.
Who is Souness?
As long as you are familiar with English football, you will not forget how he brought Liverpool to a slump back then, if the Heysel tragedy and the Hillsborough tragedy are external causes, then Souness in the UU era is the number one sinner of Liverpool's decline from prosperity, even now, he is still the most unpopular former Liverpool player in the eyes of Liverpool fans.
You know, he is a famous person who has brought supreme honor to Liverpool, and there is no monstrous anger, will this be the case?
Regarding the affairs of Newcastle and Blackburn, Ye Qiu was not bored to the point of getting involved, he wanted to take care of his own home, and he was targeting Mark Hughes's Blackburn, which had just been slaughtered by Middlesbrough 04 at home, and its morale was plummeting, and there were signs of slumping.
After choosing the opponent and strategy, Ye Qiu then began to talk about the game with his assistants in the office, and as time passed, the players also arrived at the Cobham training base one after another.
It was raining heavily, and the coaching staff's notice was quickly transferred to the dressing room, and everyone knew that they would not train in the morning, and instead went to the tactical preparation room for a meeting, obviously to study the weekend game against Blackburn, and it may be possible to have some specific tactics to arrange.
But when the players were sitting in the tactical preparation room, waiting for the head coach Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu was empty-handed and didn't bring anything.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Qiu walked up to the main podium with a smile, took out the chair and sat down.
"Oh, I kind of get it, you must be thinking it's strange that I don't take a lot of materials and some analysis data like I usually do, do I?" Ye Qiu still had a calm and calm face, with a confident smile.
He knows very well that the more critical the moment, the less he can show the slightest panic, and this kung fu that can show a confident smile at any time is something he has learned hard in the past few years, and he himself is indeed confident enough.
Without self-confidence, what is he fighting with Blackburn?
"I'm curious, to fight a Blackburn, do you need to be all like a great enemy? Isn't it just a Blackburn? As for it? When did you have to be so cautious about a group of strong Chelsea players against a Blackburn Rovers side that might be relegated? Ye Qiu asked the player funny.
If Ye Qiu always keeps telling players to be careful and cautious on weekdays, then now, his words are undoubtedly much unexpected to the players, but he just wants to do it.
What could be more convincing and morale-boosting than a manager who is always cautious and tells you that we will be able to beat our opponents with ease?
And if Ye Qiu just talks, it's, because if you lose, you're finished, but Ye Qiu said here that he was constantly studying Blackburn's tactics behind his back, and he was analyzing how to play Blackburn with the coaches all morning.
This is the same meaning as Chairman Mao said, despising the enemy strategically and attaching importance to the enemy tactically.
"I'm telling you, we don't need any targeted tactics against Blackburn, it's at Stamford Bridge, on our turf, even if he Blackburn is a Raptors crossing the river, he's going to have to lie down like a dog."
"You don't care how they fight, how they do it, in short, you go up directly to attack me"
"Afraid of what? Are we still afraid of them in our territory? Do you think we can't break the Blackburn Rovers goal? ”
"Oh, Maga, don't make me laugh, even Middlesbrough can score 4 goals against them, if you don't score 4 goals too, it would be embarrassing in my opinion, at least 5, or even U, so it makes sense"
Ye Qiu's words are a bit bragging, because no one dares to say that he can attack the opponent's U goal, but he pulled out Middlesbrough to make a comparison, and this person is often comparative, even Middlesbrough can score 4 goals, why can't we do it? How could it not be?
"Head, are we really going to attack in this game?" Captain Terry stood up and asked with concern.
"Yes, don't doubt it, I know better than you the difference in strength between us and Blackburn, so I want you to attack me from the beginning of the game, and I don't need to have the slightest concern, because we will win"
When he said the last sentence, Ye Qiu gritted his teeth, and he couldn't express his confidence, and he believed that this could also infect the players
"If I don't win, I'll eat the ball when I turn around"
