"I'm very happy to receive this award because it's a testament to my hard work over the past year."

At the FIFA awards ceremony held at the Zurich Opera House on the 1st of the month, Ronaldinho, who won the World Footballer of the Year, stood on the stage with the gold trophy in his hand and said to everyone emotionally.

"This is a very special moment in my career, and this award is very important to me because it proves that all the sweat and hard work I have put into it in the past is worth it, and it will motivate me to continue to stand here again and have the opportunity to win another award like my predecessors."

Ronaldinho's speech was met with a round of applause and a warm hug from his team-mate Frank Lampard, who finished second despite the England star not winning the World Footballer of the Year award, while Shevchenko fell to fourth and failed to finish in the top three.

"It's a really wonderful feeling to win the award, I want to thank my family and friends here, in my difficult time, it was their hard work and support, and it is also their trust and affirmation that have allowed me to survive to this day, I have succeeded, so I want to share the joy of this success with them"

"I would also like to give special thanks to our head coach, Mr. Ye Qiu" Ronaldinho stood on the stage, "It's a pity that he couldn't be there to see me receive this award, but I'm sure he must be watching live TV, so I would like to take this opportunity to tell him, head, in my mind, you are the best in the world."

The live TV broadcast also gave Ronaldinho a big close-up, apparently to capture the Brazilian's serious expression.

'I've been in Europe for many years but I've never won the title and I've had a lot of difficulties, but it all ended when I joined Chelsea'

'A lot of people ask me why I joined Chelsea in the first place. Actually, it was because there was a guy who, when I was wondering what to do, told me that he had promised me personally, come to Chelsea, you would be the best player in the world, and you would have the chance to win the highest honours in football like your predecessors Ronaldo, Romario and Rivaldo."

"This person is our head coach, Mr. Ye Qiu, and it was his words that made me finally firm in my determination to join Chelsea, so I have to thank him here, without his support and encouragement, I would not have been able to get to where I am today."

'I would also like to make it clear here that Chelsea are a very good team for me because there is the best manager in the world and the best team-mates in the world, so I have no reason to leave, and I want to say to my team-mates that this trophy is not only mine, but all of you'

Ronaldinho's words earned a nod of approval from Frank Lampard, who was standing next to him, and it was clear that the Chelsea vice-captain felt the same way, because without the rest of the Chelsea players, they wouldn't be where they are now.

And this past summer, and in the past six months of the season, there have been constant rumors that Ronaldinho may leave Chelsea, and there have been rumors that Real Madrid and Barcelona both want Ronaldinho.

But I believe that all this will now come to an end with Ronaldinho's statement, he has no idea of leaving Chelsea, and Chelsea cannot easily let go of the world footballer of the year cultivated by the club himself.

In particular, the last sentence of his speech, "Everyone at Chelsea has given me far more than I have given to them, and I will do everything I can for Chelsea"

Ronaldinho's words really touched a lot of Chelsea fans, and they all believe that the club should sign a lifetime contract with Ronaldinho, leaving the first world footballer in the history of the club and even the Premier League.

Ronaldinho can get the World Footballer of the Year, even if it is himself, he knows very well that all this depends on Chelsea's overall tactics, and all this is driven by Ye Qiu behind it.

However, it is regrettable that Ye Qiu once again failed to be selected as FIFA's Coach of the Year, and Rehhagel won this award, which led Greece to miraculously win the European Cup, beating Ye Qiu to win the award, and coincidentally, the UEFA Coach of the Year award was also given to Rehhagel.

Once again, tragically became the second in the millennium, Ye Qiu was helpless about it, fortunately, he didn't use his hot face to stick to other people's cold butts, so he didn't go to those activities of FIFA and UEFA.

But obviously, Ronaldini, who just won the World Footballer of the Year, is really good, and at the Christmas party, when everyone started to draw lots, this guy actually won the Mercedes-Benz sports car sponsored by Ye Qiu.

This made the others very unhappy, everyone booed him, and the new footballer felt that he was indeed a little unkind, so he directly opened his mouth and shouted to take out the Mercedes-Benz again, and all those who did not draw the prize can draw again.

This time there was an uproar in the audience, and all the players who had just not drawn the prize were happy at this time, but they were drawn again, but the young player Leo Messi was cheaper, and the audience suddenly booed again, because Messi didn't even have a driver's license.

In the UK, you need to be at least 17 years old to get a driver's license, Messi's age has just arrived, and he also applied for a driver's license, but the difficulty of the Premier League driver's license test is famous in the whole world, so Messi has studied for three months, but he has not yet obtained a driver's license, but he just drew this Mercedes-Benz sports car.

The price of this Mercedes-Benz is actually not high, only more than 50,000 euros, Chelsea's main first-team team basically has a good salary, no one cares about this money, booing is more to set off the atmosphere, no matter who gets this award, they have to be booed, which is a bit like the beggar gang leader has to be spitted on when he takes the position.

After the lottery, many people licked their faces and came up, wanting to pass the prize from Messi at a low price, but the Argentine teenager is also very ambitious, even if he has not taken the driver's license for more than three months, he is still full of confidence that he will definitely pass the test, and he has been defeated and fought repeatedly, and his fighting spirit is commendable.

Although professional players are a group of young rich and rich people, everyone has a trace of hope that they will become lucky people, so in this lottery, everyone in the team was encouraged, and after the lottery, Ye Qiu and Peter Kenyon came out and gave each player a small gift of great value.

Although the gift is small, it also soothes the injured hearts of the players who failed to get the Mercedes sports car, and Ye Qiu's cleverness lies in the fact that he draws the lottery first and then gives gifts, so as to avoid the disappointment of the players.

The main reason why the Premier League's Christmas schedule is considered the devil's schedule is because it is too dense.

There is a Premier League on the day of the month, P day, 05 l l and 3 days, and there are 4 games to play in just 9 days, this schedule is a bit scary to put in any league, and all of them are the most competitive Premier League competitions, which shows how difficult the schedule is.

In the past, the Christmas schedule of the Premier League basically arranged 3 rounds of the Premier League, but now it is arranged 4 rounds, and one more round is not just as simple as one more game, but directly compresses the preparation time for the other three games, which is a huge test for any Premier League team.

Although the Premier League official did not say, but in fact, everyone knows that this is a promotion strategy of the Premier League, when the other three major leagues have entered the winter break, the Premier League has ushered in a period of fierce battles, almost to enjoy the entire Christmas holiday.

Just imagine, a Hollywood blockbuster enjoys the summer prime time, how spectacular the box office will be?

As a Premier League team, it is true that it has profited from the successful operation of the overall promotion of the Premier League, the most obvious is the sharing of broadcast fees, and now the Premier League has also begun to promote pre-season warm-up games, which have benefited the Premier League teams a lot, and as a manager, this Christmas schedule is definitely the biggest test.

Ye Qiu knows very well that to cope with this period of Christmas schedule, giving full play to Chelsea's generous bench depth is the team's biggest bargaining chip, so in the first game against Aston Villa at home, he arranged for Ronaldinho, Rooney, Cannavaro and other players to rest on the bench.

Lack of major generals, Chelsea played a little hard at Stamford Bridge, Aston Villa's squad is not as thick as Chelsea, but after a week's rest, they are the full main lineup, which inevitably brings some difficulties to Chelsea, coupled with Aston Villa manager O'Reilly after the opening full attack, so that Chelsea fell into a passive situation for a while.

O'Reilly has recent years of experience in the English professional league as a player, and as a manager, he was the manager of Leeds United's youth guards, leading Leeds United to the pinnacle of glory, and he is experienced in dealing with the winter break.

Unlike Chelsea, who are determined to win every game in the title and inevitably want to win every game, Aston Villa have significantly fewer goals, so they can fight for as many games as they need.

It was clear that O'Reilly was just looking to give his all against Chelsea in the first game and get off to a good start.

Chelsea's start was a little conservative, Ye Qiu's winter break schedule was still firmly established, so it seemed a little passive, but the team's defense was very solid, Aston Villa couldn't attack for a long time, and gradually retreated, but Chelsea played a counterattack in the 33rd minute of the first half.

Ribery broke through on the left and crossed diagonally to the right, Lampard cut into the box with the ball after being offside, and knocked it back to Van Persie, who followed behind him, and the Dutch striker easily pushed it in front of the goal, 0

It was a goal that kept Chelsea's advantage at its best, as the Blues beat Aston Villa 0 at home.

In his post-match press conference, O'Reilly was slightly sarcastic and sarcastic, believing that Chelsea's tactics were too conservative and not victorious, while Ye Qiu countered by believing that Aston Villa's target was Chelsea, but Chelsea's goal was the whole season.

"We Chinese have a saying, the swallow bird knows the ambition of the bird, which means, how can swallows and sparrows know the great ambition of the swan? In the same way, Aston Villa simply don't understand our goals and pursuits"

O'Reilly was obviously angered by Ye Qiu's sarcasm and sarcasm, he left the venue on the spot a little angrily, and Ye Qiu was indifferent to this, because it was purely O'Reilly's own boring, if he lost, he lost, what are you sarcastic about me, right?

However, it can also be seen that O'Reilly was a famous coach in Europe back then, but after leaving Leeds United, he was Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year was not as good as a year, and it was inevitable that there would be some imbalance in his heart.

While Chelsea beat Aston Villa hard, Arsenal beat Fulham 0 at home and Manchester United beat Bolton Wanderers 0 at home, both teams are clearly not left behind and are still chasing behind Chelsea, while Everton, who are currently third in the Premier League, narrowly beat Manchester City.

David Moyes has become famous this season, and after Everton sold Wayne Rooney, many people thought that the team would be greatly reduced, but what they didn't expect was that after last season's slump, Everton's current performance is shocking.

But it is not without hidden dangers, it is rumored that Real Madrid wants to strengthen the midfield, so it has set its sights on Everton's Danish midfielder Gravesson, who has been very eye-catching this season, and Moyes is now trying his best to keep the Danish midfielder.

The team that stood out the most in the first round after Christmas was Rafael Benitez's Liverpool.

The Reds had fallen to seventh place ahead of this game, but they were beaten away to West Bromwich Albion to overtake Charlton Athletic and move into the UEFA Cup qualification zone.

After this round of battles, all the British media were a little surprised, because the situation of the big clubs they had high hopes for did not appear, on the contrary, all the strong teams won one after another, and there was even a big victory like Liverpool.

However, everyone knows that the real test has just arrived.

On P day, Chelsea travel to Portsmouth.

Portsmouth has been plagued by disasters this season, and after leading the team to promotion and successfully staying in the Premier League, Redknapp and the board of directors have become increasingly conflicted, and in October this year, Redknapp announced his resignation, and the technical director Zayic took the position of head coach for the time being, with Joe Jordan as deputy.

Speaking of which, this is also a major trend in the Premier League at present, more and more teams are beginning to add the position of technical director, obviously to weaken the power of the manager, after all, in the past few years, Premier League football can be described as a frequent black and gold case, almost every local manager has been affected, including Ferguson.

In this case, Premier League teams that are increasingly focused on management have begun to add technical directors, and this position is basically occupied by foreign monks, such as Tottenham Hotspur recently appointed Frank Arneson as technical director, and Portsmouth also appointed Croatian Zajech as technical director.

There will certainly be some power conflicts between the head coach and the technical director, because the line between the two is already blurred, even in other leagues on the continent where the framework is already very mature.

Therefore, Redknapp also left in anger, and the first thing Zajech had to do after taking charge was to stabilize the team's morale and situation, and he did well, the first league game was the 19th round of the winter break, they beat Crystal Palace away, which also made Zajech and his assistant Joe Jordan full of confidence.

Portsmouth's home side host Chelsea, the team's strategy was clearly to defend and counter-attack, and they carried the momentum of beating Crystal Palace, and they played with high morale at home, putting up a very solid defensive position in the game, plus arranging two fast horses up front to partner in the front, obviously trying to use them to harass Chelsea's defence.

Chelsea, who were unable to play at full strength, were locked in a tough battle in the first half, and with Portsmouth's all-out defence, the Blues were slow to find an effective way to break the opposition's goal, and the busy schedule during the winter break meant that the pressure on the players was already high, and it was inevitable that they would be a little impatient.

At halftime, even if the team entered the locker room with a score of 00, Ye Qiu still encouraged the team, and kept reassuring the players, asking them to play more patiently, he believed that the team would be able to win.

After the start of the second half, Chelsea's performance still did not improve much, but Ye Qiu kept calling on the players on the sidelines to calm down, which obviously played a certain role, especially in the UU minute, Ye Qiu replaced Drogba, who did not perform well in this game, with a more physical Gudjohnsen, and the team's front court became more dynamic.

In the 74th minute, Frank Lampard broke the ball in front and stabbed Ronaldinho, the Brazilian kicked directly from the left side of the penalty area, the ball hit the leg of the Portsmouth defender, turned in one direction and folded into the goal, 0

Just five minutes later, Chelsea had another chance when Gudjohnsen won the ball in front of the ball and crossed back, and it was Ronaldinho who fired a powerful shot from the corner of the net from the goal to break past Portsmouth again, 0

The Brazilian scored twice and became the best player of the match and was a big contributor to the team's winning streak

To the disappointment of many Chelsea players, in the same round, Manchester United beat Aston Villa 0 away, Arsenal beat Newcastle 0 away, Liverpool beat Southampton 0 at home, and only Everton, who lacked bench depth, really fell behind, they lost 0 away to Charlton Athletic, but still maintained the third place in the league.

Such fierce competition not only surprised the fans, but even the media and reporters were amazed, because after two rounds in a row, no one was left behind, and the rankings of the traditional giants were climbing steadily, which has to be said to be a collapse for the middle and lower teams.

And with this victory, Chelsea's winning streak quickly extended to ll, and it was only one step away from Arsenal's 14-game winning streak.

But just two days after the first round of the Premier League, on 1 month, Chelsea visited Anfield.
