There was a lot of commotion in the home dressing room at Stamford Bridge, with all the players looking in a good mood and looking very excited as they had just beaten Arsenal outside to progress to the Champions League semi-finals.

The players were screaming and celebrating wildly inside, and Ye Qiu, who was standing in the corridor outside, could hear it clearly, but he wasn't going to go in, because now it belonged to the players, and it was a locker room, there was nothing, and he didn't have to worry about anything going to happen at all, unless it was a group of big men with bare butts who wanted to do something.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu tilted his head, feeling a little funny, his thoughts were spoiled by that group of media.

"I used to be very simple," Ye Qiu suddenly muttered to himself for no reason, followed by a big laugh.

Reaching the semifinals of the Champions League again, this is the third consecutive year that Ye Qiu led the team to the semifinals, and won the championship last year.

It can be said that with this honor, he is worthy of the title of European famous coach, and no one can doubt him.

Just as Ye Qiu was smiling, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate, and when he took it out, it was a text message.

The text message came from his wife Huang Chu, and nothing was written in it, just an emoji with tears of excitement, and a lot of exclamation points, which made Ye Qiu couldn't help but smile, he would receive a text message from his wife after every game, but he didn't know where Huang Chu was sitting.

"I can't guarantee that I'll go to watch every game, so in order not to affect your mood, I won't tell you, you don't have to look for it, and then you just watch every game when I do."

Not to mention, this kind of slightly covering her ears and stealing the bell works really well, and she sends text messages in almost every game, and occasionally misses it a few times, all because she is operating on a patient, and in return, Ye Qiu will also send her a text message after each of her operations.

Thinking of Huang Chu, Ye Qiu felt warm in his heart, this feeling is really good, because you will always know that there is such a woman in the family waiting for you and supporting you, and you will never feel lonely.

It's still a private phone, it's still a text message, but this time it's not an expression, it's a sentence.

"10 games left"

There are very few people who know his private mobile phone number, they are all family, wife, and his best friend, but now it is Eliza Moon who is far away in the United States, and there is no need to guess, this text message is sent by Eliza, she should be watching the live broadcast.

"You wait, I won't lose" Ye Qiu smiled and pressed the keyboard back.

Soon, a cute expression with a smile sticking out his tongue appeared on Ye Qiu's mobile phone screen, which made him laugh along, this disgusting expression of pretending to be kawaii was only made by Eliza, it was too shameless and skinless.

Just as Ye Qiu put the phone back in his trouser pocket, another phone rang.

"Ye Qiu, are you in the locker room?" Peter Kenyon's voice came over the phone.

"At the door, something?"

Peter Kenyon smiled, it seemed that even if something was going on, it would be a good thing, "My boss and I will be there soon"

It didn't take long to see Peter Kenyon and Roman Abramovich, as well as the Russian's always-on bodyguards, appear in the players' tunnel, laughing and talking all the way to the door of the dressing room.

"Thank you, Ye Qiu, we won" Abramovich looked excited, opened his arms from afar, and hugged Ye Qiu, such an intimate action came from a man, Ye Qiu was a little unaccustomed, but he didn't dodge, just responded politely.

"Why are you here?" Ye Qiu asked.

The locker room has always been the manager's territory, without Ye Qiu's approval and promise, even Abramovich would not have trespassed casually, and the Russian has always adhered to this gentleman's agreement, and even so far this season, he has never appeared in the locker room.

Abramovich seemed to have expected Ye Qiu to ask this, and immediately nodded to Peter Kenyon and motioned for the latter to speak.

'The owner was very happy with the two games against Arsenal and he was very, very happy with the performance of the team, so he decided to come to the dressing room himself to congratulate the players and at the same time advance the prize money for the team to reach the semi-finals.'

Ye Qiu understood, but he still didn't understand, because according to the contracts signed by the team with the players and coaches, they are basically linked to the team's results, and in this kind of cup competition, especially in a large cup competition like the Champions League, every time the team takes a step forward, the bonus will be directly cashed out

As the team decided before, every player can get a bonus of 50,000 euros after successfully advancing to the group stage, and when the group stage is advanced early, the bonus has been paid in advance, and the 100,000 promotion bonus for the round of 16 knockout stage is also paid.

It's all under contract, and Abramovich doesn't need to come to the dressing room in person at all, unless ......

"Double" Peter Kenyon also expected Ye Qiu to guess, and said directly with a smile.

Not only did the players double, but everyone in the coaching staff doubled their bonuses, the club's staff, and even everyone in the administration department and the Stamford Bridge stadium management department.

Ye Qiu was a little dumbfounded, 150,000 euros doubled again, isn't that 300,000?

Although this is only the bonus for the main players, the bonus for substitute players is very small, such as Joe Cole and Son Jihai and other substitutes, before the double, it was only 50,000 euros, and the doubling was about 150,000, and young players such as Fabregas and Messi were even less, and some did not even have them.

That being said, it's a lot of money, and the prize money alone is enough to bring in a strong star.

Seeing Ye Qiu's tongue-stinging appearance, Peter Kenyon shrugged his shoulders, and he was also helpless.

"Wait" Ye Qiu suddenly shouted to stop, "This is not in accordance with the rules"

Abramovich was stunned for a moment, "How is it not in accordance with the rules?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the Premier League has a very clear rule in the rules that all Premier League football clubs must pay bonuses according to the amount specified in the contract signed with the player, and must not exceed one cent, otherwise, you will face fines, demerit points and even disqualification of the player."

Peter Kenyon has been in the Premier League for many years, and he is very clear about the terms of the Premier League, but he didn't think about this obviously relatively cold clause for a while, but now that Ye Qiu mentioned it, he couldn't help but suddenly realize.

"yes, good thing you remember," Peter Kenyon panicked.

The Premier League has drafted such a clause to avoid tax evasion and evasion by clubs, and also to prevent some teams from taking advantage of the bonus loophole to evade taxes, that is, to set the basic salary very low and then pull the bonus very high, so as to avoid some taxes.

If there is no reminder from Ye Qiu, it will be true, once the news is leaked, Chelsea will be very troublesome.

"So what now?" Abramovich was very depressed, it was obviously his own money, and he was willing to give money for anything, but he still had to be so troublesome?

Ye Qiu and Peter Kenyon looked at each other and smiled, they both knew in their hearts that it would be no problem to pay for taxes, but in this way, Abramovich's blood would have to vomit more, and it would no longer be just a matter of doubling.

"Don't worry, you still promise to double the bonus to the players when you go in, Peter will have a way, this kind of thing is a big trouble for others, but for him, it's easy, it just takes some time" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Almost every Premier League club has its own set of ways to evade taxes, and even many players, such as David Beckham, really think that so many of his companies are from here? Isn't it just for tax evasion and tax avoidance?

"I'll leave it to you," Abramovich smiled and patted Peter Kenyon on the shoulder.

The bald head smiled bitterly depressedly, if he had known that he had said it, he should have directly rejected Abramovich's proposal to double the prize just now, because in this way he could save himself a lot of trouble, but he was an expert in this area, and he had already figured out how to complete this matter in his mind.

"On behalf of the players, and all the staff, thank you, the great Mr. Peter Kenyon" Ye Qiu did not forget to hit the bald gentleman.

Abramovich's generosity is indeed commendable, not only doubling the prize money for reaching the semi-finals, but also doubling the prize money for reaching the final, and even doubling the prize money for the team to win the championship, after which the prize money of the main players will exceed 1 million euros, which is a record in the entire European football world.

It's not hard to see how excited Abramovich is about his team's performance this season.

Of course, the bonuses for the players and staff were doubled, and Ye Qiu's bonuses were also doubled, but not including additional bonuses.

You must know that the huge bonus he promised to Ye Qiu before was paid in addition, in the hope that Ye Qiu could do his best to lead the team to win the championship, and now it seems that if Chelsea can go to the bottom in both the Premier League and the Champions League, then Ye Qiu will be able to get an additional 10UU million euros in an amazing bonus.

For Roman Abramovich, the deal is not worth it, as he paid 100,000 euros for a Premier League title and a European Champions Cup, which has boosted his Chelsea prestige, and the players are worth a hundred times more than a hundred.

In addition to this bonus, Ye Qiu can also enjoy a series of bonuses and benefits stipulated and listed in the contract like other head coaches, and Abramovich also told Ye Qiu with great certainty when talking to Ye Qiu in the locker room that the club will conduct a new round of contract negotiations with Ye Qiu after the end of this season.

It has been revealed that Barcelona's performance this season has been very bad, and even almost fell into the relegation zone in the first half, and although Rijkaard's team has improved in the second half and has been affirmed by Laporta, many Barcelona fans have said that the team should change the coach, and the most popular candidate is undoubtedly Ye Qiu, who is the most popular in European football this season.

Real Madrid are also preparing to change their manager, unless Queiroz wins the Champions League, he will also be forced to step down, and the person Florentino wants to invite to coach at the Bernabeu Stadium is also Ye Qiu.

La Liga's two giants wanted to poach Ye Qiu last summer, but they were unsuccessful, and now Ye Qiu's prestige has been further enhanced, if he can lead Chelsea to win the Premier League and Champions League double, then he will undoubtedly become the hottest top coach in Europe, for Barcelona and Real Madrid, a membership-based club without salary pressure, high salary is not a problem, and results are the most important.

In Serie A, Inter Milan's mood for a change of coach has been revealed, according to the Milan Sports Newspaper report, if Ye Qiu wins the double in Chelsea, it is likely to retire in a hurry, Moratti hopes to poach the young Chinese coach to the Meaza Stadium to lead the revival of the Nerazzurri.

Juventus' Lippi is also likely to be out of class, although Moggi never mentioned the question of Lippi staying, and there are many indications that Moggi prefers Capello to be in charge of the Bianconeri, but there are many signs that Ye Qiu is likely to become a dark horse and enter the Alp Stadium strongly.

But everyone knows that with Ye Qiu's consistent style, joining Juventus represents Moji's loss of power.

Bayern Munich is also actively preparing for a change of coach, and Beckenbauer has always said that Ye Qiu is a head coach who is very suitable for Bayern Munich from tactical concept to overall operation, and he even feels that Ye Qiu was born a gold medal coach tailored for Bayern Munich.

There is no doubt that in the summer of 04, Europe will usher in a wave of coach changes, and regardless of whether Ye Qiu can win the Champions League and the Premier League, he will definitely become the target of all giant teams, because he no longer needs to rely on trophies to prove his strength.

It is precisely because of this that after Abramovich asked, Peter Kenyon also suggested that he should re-sign a contract with Ye Qiu, although he felt that Ye Qiu's salary was ridiculously high, but according to the regulations, the salary would be increased if the contract was renewed.

Not to mention, Ferguson has spent decades, and his salary is now only half of Ye Qiu's, Peter Kenyon feels that Ye Qiu's salary is too early, which is reasonable, but the problem is that Ferguson and Wenger were unwilling to come to Chelsea, otherwise, their salaries would be higher and more outrageous than Ye Qiu.

The management doubled the prize money, which boosted the morale of everyone in the team, even the youngsters such as Cesc Fabregas and Lionel Messi, who also received a symbolic bonus, but not much.

But when Chelsea's morale was boosting, the second leg of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League was an unbelievable turn of the road, and the upsets continued.

In the other game in the top half of the same day, Real Madrid suffered a surprise 3-3 defeat at Monaco, with Didier Deschamps' side beating the visiting Galacticos at home with excellent overall football.

It is important to know that the most discussed in the media before the game is not the match between Real Madrid and Monaco, but how Real Madrid will play against Chelsea in the semi-finals, and coach Queiroz is even more confident that Real Madrid will defeat Chelsea with gorgeous offensive football and reach the final again.

After 90 minutes, Queiroz's words sounded more like a joke, because they couldn't even get past Monaco, so how could they talk about reaching the final? What to talk about losing to Chelsea?

Real Madrid's upset is shocking, and the Spanish media frequently asks, why will this Real Madrid team lose to Monaco? Especially when you have the advantage in the first leg and lose away?

The newspaper even published a sarcastic and sarcastic headline on the front page of the headline "Welcome back to Earth", but if you carefully taste this newspaper that supports Real Madrid, it is not difficult to feel a trace of sourness and bitterness from it, because Real Madrid is a galaxy battleship, but it lost the game on Earth, which is indeed a disappointment for all those who are confident in Real Madrid.

Marca also said that the defeat of the Galaxy has been foreshadowed since the summer transfer period, and Morientes's rebellion has made all fans who like Real Madrid taste what retribution is

"At the most critical moment, Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo failed to save the team; At the most critical moment, only Raul was still desperate; At the most critical moment, our once most loyal fighters broke our goal"

If Real Madrid's upset is still apprehensive, then on the second day, AC Milan, which defeated Deportivo La Coruna 4l at home in the first leg, suffered a big collapse away from home, and the unexpected 04 defeat to Deportivo La Coruna directly caused a major earthquake in the entire European football world.

Match-fixing?

I believe this is the first reaction of all those who hear this scoreline, because it is simply too fake

defeated the opponent in the first leg 4l, everyone, including AC Milan himself, had already won the game, but he didn't expect that he lost a 04 away and was directly eliminated from the Champions League. How is the game played?

After this game, AC Milan general manager Galliani said in an interview with the media that this defeat will bring lessons for AC Milan and what can be learned from it can benefit AC Milan a lot in the next few years.

However, AC Milan's leading scorer Shevchenko was extremely disappointed that the team was unexpectedly eliminated from the Champions League in an interview with the media after the game, thinking that such a collapse was unbelievable, and when the English media asked him about Chelsea, Shevchenko first vaguely expressed his appreciation for Chelsea and his disappointment with AC Milan.

Even if this is just a small detail, but I believe that in the eyes of some well-intentioned people, Shevchenko's position and attitude are no longer firm, after all, Chelsea has performed too well this season, even in the Europa League, it can be said that it is invincible, and all the players in the team have become prestigious.

Jose Mourinho's Porto drew away to Lyon without danger and reached the semi-finals.

As a result, the Champions League semi-finals are also freshly baked, Ye Qiu's Chelsea meet Didier Deschamps' Monaco, Mourinho's Porto meets Irueta's Deportivo La Coruna, and none of the four teams are traditional giants.

However, because of the emergence of Ye Qiu and Chelsea, this year's Champions League has become more attractive and has attracted more attention from fans.

But just as public opinion was supporting, Chelsea suddenly ushered in a wave of slumps.
