Volume 1 Chapter 242 Wife Slave
Ye Qiu really felt that his luck this season was very good, so good that it was a little unbelievable.
In the past, when I was at Ajax, needless to say in the Eredivisie, I was suppressed by Eindhoven for a long time, that is, I turned around and suppressed the opponent in the last year, and in the European arena, Ajax met strong opponents as soon as they went out.
But now in the Premier League, Chelsea's new season has started surprisingly well, except for a Liverpool who are no longer in the limelight, Chelsea have not faced strong opponents in the first few rounds, so that Chelsea can not only use these opponents to run in the team, but also ensure the stability of the team's results.
In the 5th round of the league, they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4L at home and won this battle of London's sworn enemies.
In the U round of the league, Wolves beat promoted Wolves 0 away, Frank Lampard, Drogba, Deco all scored, and Ronaldinho scored a brace, which made Chelsea in the Premier League limelight for a while.
Chelsea hosted Aston Villa at home, Frank Lampard scored a hat-trick, Didier Drogba scored the third goal, and the team beat their opponents 40, and Aston Villa were helpless and lost in disarray.
In the eighth round of the league, Chelsea beat Middlesbrough away, substitute Didier Drogba came on to help Gudjohnsen score in the 17th minute, but Middlesbrough equalised just before the end of the first half, but Ronaldinho's individual performance at a crucial moment in the second half assisted Frank Lampard to score the winning goal, and Chelsea started the game on an eight-game winning streak
But not only in the Premier League, in the Champions League group stage, Chelsea faced Sparta Prague in the first leg, and thanks to goals from Ronaldinho and John Terry, Chelsea won 0 away from home.
In the second leg, he returned to Stamford Bridge and ushered in Turkey's Besiktas, Ye Qiu pressed the attack after the opening, respectively in the 7th minute, Drogba and Ronaldinho scored goals, and before the end of the first half, Ronaldinho scored another goal to help the team lead 0.
In the second half, Chelsea were still firmly in control, with a midfield of Davies, Deco and Claude Makelele squeezing Besiktas to make the victory a thrilling one, and Drogba's header in the first minute extended the score to 40
The Premier League started with eight consecutive wins, the Champions League started with a winning streak, and Chelsea started the new season with 10 consecutive wins, which immediately caused an uproar in the entire European football world, not only across the United Kingdom, but even the Europa League sky has poked a big hole.
Everyone was shocked by Chelsea's amazing fighting power, especially the suffocating control of the game displayed by this team, and almost no one could easily get a bargain from Chelsea, because even if they have played a total of games until now, including qualifying, they have only conceded a goal, which has to be said to be a surprising result.
The captain of the Italian national team, Cannavaro, also raised his eyebrows with this shocking result, and in an interview with the media, he spoke highly of his partner John Terry, thinking that he was very surprised by the level of England's central defender.
"When I first came to England, there was a serious problem of adaptation, I had to re-adapt to the football here, the weather and the environment here, and the familiar team became unfamiliar, and it took a process to re-adapt, but I think I survived this period very well."
"Last season wasn't a memorable one for me, I was the protagonist of the game a lot, which was a lot of excitement for me, but I knew exactly what to do, so I desperately wanted to get revenge, I wanted to be successful and I was willing to work hard for it."
"Mr. Ye Qiu is a very special manager, on the first day I came to the team, he met me in the office, talked to me a lot, and then he told me that there must be some reason for the poor performance last season, I told him that he had a tibial injury, and then he arranged for me to train alone for a long time, which allowed me to finally get out of the shadow of injury this season."
"Many people's impression of Mr. Ye Qiu is offensive football, and they think that his defense is not very good, which is a big mistake, on the contrary, I think his understanding of defense is not lost to any Italian coach, he has his own unique understanding, he attaches more importance to defense than everyone thinks."
'I'm not surprised at all that the team has had this season because I've found out in training that Ronaldinho is really an unbeatable talent, and Didier Drogba, he's very strong and a nightmare for all defenders, Frank Lampard, I've never seen players who work so hard, and players like Davies, Deco, Makelele, Evra, McConn, they're very, very good.
'My partner John Terry is the captain of the team, very young but very strong and I think he can be one of the best defenders in Europe and the world in the future, and I have formed a strong centre-back combination with him and we are working together more and more together.
"Mr. Ye Qiu is a very good head coach, I even think he is the best coach"
This is how Cannavaro explained the reason for Chelsea's outstanding performance when he returned to the Italian national team training camp and was interviewed by the Italian newspaper Milan Sport, and he believes that the best coaches and the best players make up the best team.
"Mr. Ye Qiu said he wanted to win all the championships?" Cannavaro smiled in support, "I don't think it's an exaggeration, it's entirely possible for us to do it because we're already one of the strongest teams in Europe"
Cannavaro's high praise has caused a lot of controversy, but it is undeniable that Chelsea do occupy the top spot in the Premier League, because relatively speaking, Arsenal have two draws, Manchester United is one loss and one draw, and only Chelsea have 24 points from eight consecutive wins, leading the Premier League standings, four points ahead of Arsenal and five points over Manchester United
In the Champions League group stage, Chelsea's two consecutive wins are also the first in the group, Lazio is second in the group with one win and one draw, Sparta Prague is third in the group, and Besiktas is at the bottom of the group.
If there were still people who doubted and worried about Chelsea's strength at the beginning of the season, then two months later, everyone has completely changed their opinion of Chelsea, thinking that although Ye Qiu spent more than 100 million euros, he has formed a top team with excellent combat effectiveness in one summer.
Now, who would dare to say that Chelsea do not have the quality to win the Premier League and compete for the Champions League?
When the media in Europe and the world praised Ye Qiu and Chelsea, the domestic media also gave Ye Qiu a very high evaluation, and always maintained a huge attention to Chelsea, because there are two Chinese in this team, in addition to head coach Ye Qiu, is the substitute Sun Jihai.
After joining Chelsea, Son Jihai seemed to be a very conspicuous part of the star-studded squad, but in the game against Middlesbrough, he became the team's starting right-back and played at a very high level.
The English media generally gave him a high rating, with the Sun giving him an 8 and the Times giving him a 5, both of which were high praises, even high marks for the team's best performance, but the gap between him and McCone was still obvious.
As Ye Qiu said when communicating with Sun Jihai in private, in terms of offensive threat and personal strength, he is not as good as McConn, or even as many defenders, his biggest bargaining chip is tireless running and hard work, which makes his defensive completion rate very high, plus Chelsea's overall tactical layout is very reasonable, and he plays a great role in defense.
Sun Jihai also had to admit that Ye Qiu's positioning of him was very accurate, he really had no advantage at all compared to offense and personal ability, he should integrate himself into the team, and his versatile characteristics were also very important to Ye Qiu.
The partnership of the two Chinese has attracted great attention and repercussions in the world, and the domestic media have also given high attention and evaluation, believing that they will be very likely to continue to carry forward this Chelsea storm, and if Ye Qiu can continue his glory at Ajax, then Sun Jihai will not only be the first Chinese player to play in the Champions League, but may even become the first Chinese player to meet the St. Pauled Cup.
Of course, among all the voices of praise in the media, there is also a voice of skepticism and apprehension.
For example, Chelsea's opponent in the next round, Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger, in an interview with the media, mentioned Chelsea's recent glory and the team's excellent record, on the one hand, he expressed his recognition of Chelsea's strength and affirmation of Ye Qiu's coaching ability, but also said that Chelsea is not omnipotent.
"There is no doubt that the outstanding performance of this team has completely established the strength of Ye Qiu's top coach, and many people feel that he spent more than 100 million euros to smash such a team with a money offensive, which should not be recognized, but the people who said these words are obviously biased, how much did Real Madrid and Barcelona spend? The result? ”
'Of course, a team like Chelsea is not without its hidden dangers, maybe they are so strong that people don't see anything wrong with it, but once they lose a game, then all the crises will erupt, and they may even be defeated, because at the end of the day, they are just a bunch of mercenaries piled up with money'
In response to the provocation from Wenger, Ye Qiu fought back.
'Whether it's a mercenary or not, I don't count it, Wenger doesn't count, I think it's still a matter of consistent results on the pitch, but I'm pretty sure that Saturday's game away to Arsenal is very important for us because it will be a good chance for us to get past Arsenal in the table.
However, Ye Qiu also gave high praise and affirmation to Arsenal's strength.
With Ashley Cole, Campbell, Chloe Toure and Lauren at the back, Pire, Gilberto Silva, Patrick Vieira and Ljungberg in midfield, Thierry Henry and Wiltord in front, Arsenal's lineup is very balanced, both offensive and defensively very stable, and it can even be said that there are no too obvious flaws.
Kolo Toure shined in Ye Qiu's hands, but after joining Arsenal, he was directly sent to the main position by Wenger, and his partner with Campbell quickly established a tacit understanding, and his performance was also very good, coupled with the combination of midfielder Vieira and Gilberto Silva, Arsenal's lineup is enough to cause headaches.
The previous game between Arsenal and Manchester United was 00, and neither side was able to take advantage, although Chelsea was in the limelight, but in the end it was an away game, and just experienced two weeks of national team breaks, Ronaldinho, McConn, Drogba and other players have returned to the national team to play, and the long journey has a great impact on the team.
What's even worse is that on the day Ye Qiu returned to London after the Premier League's two-week national team break, the Premier League officially announced that Chelsea's head coach Ye Qiu was elected as the Premier League Coach of the Month in September, and Chelsea's star Ronaldinho won the title of Player of the Month.
On the one hand, Ye Qiu felt very happy, but on the other hand, he smiled a little bitterly, saying that the Premier League was helping Arsenal.
Because in the Premier League, there has always been a saying that the magic curse of the best coach of the month, that is, after being elected as the best coach of the month, the results of leading the team often drop sharply, and this curse has been verified again and again.
Just like in September, although Arsenal and Chelsea both performed well in August, Wenger was finally elected Coach of the Month, which was controversial, but the Frenchman finally won the award, but soon he ushered in two draws, which made Wenger have the urge to cry.
Entering October, Chelsea maintained an amazing record of winning all in September, and it is natural for Ye Qiu to win the Coach of the Month, but the next game will meet Arsenal.
But what is even more fatal is that the blessing is unparalleled, the disaster is not a single line, and it is just to get the best coach of the month, followed by the Swiss Tissot Group sponsoring the Premier League, and the best coach of the league 4 schedule was also freshly released, and it was given to Ye Qiu, on the same day, Ye Qiu won two awards in a row, but he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
"Frankly, I don't believe in magic spells"
In his office, Ye Qiu was playing with the two trophies on his desk, although at first glance it seemed to be well designed, and the photos taken were also very good, but in fact, there was no gold content, if it was made of pure gold, it should be better.
"But now it's hardly optimistic about your fight to Highbury," Eliza said, sitting across from him, smiling.
The so-called Coach of the Month curse, this is more the result of media hype, for no reason, Ye Qiu doesn't believe it at all, he prefers to believe that this is the normal result of the ups and downs of the team's state, because no team can maintain its peak condition for a long time, and there must be ups and downs.
It's like Chelsea's now, the beginning of the season has been winning all games until now, this state even Ye Qiu feels a little surprised, and he has always been worried, and has been urging Peter Brandt to better detect and control the physical condition of the players, because he doesn't know when the trough will come.
From the point of view of physiology and kinematics, there are high and low, even if Ye Qiu and Peter Brandt's concept is to adjust everyone's state into a straight line as much as possible, but this is impossible, it must still be a curve with high and low.
Therefore, Ye Qiu has been preparing for the worst, especially considering that there are two weeks of national team matches in September and October, which will have a huge impact on the fitness and condition of many players, who dares to say that the curse of the best coach of the month will not appear on Ye Qiu?
"Unlucky, he won such an award before the competition" Ye Qiu sighed, he didn't give the UEFA Coach of the Year he wanted, but he didn't want the best coach of the month but took the initiative to send it to the door, what could he say?
"You don't have to get cheap over there, and you're good, how many people dream of winning a Premier League monthly award" Eliza was not angry and directly tore off this guy's hypocritical mask, obviously happy in her heart, but she still had to pretend to be wronged, it was too shameless.
Ye Qiu smiled and didn't refute.
"Tissot's prize is a Tissot sports watch, and the people on their side have approached me to talk about the possibility of cooperation," Eliza joked and got down to business.
Tissot has always sponsored the Premier League, and the previous spokesperson was Michael Owen, but since the injury, Owen's strength and performance are not as good as before, but Ye Qiu is now in the limelight, and he can even be said to be the most influential person in the Premier League at the moment, and his attention even exceeds those stars.
"Cooperation? Is it sponsored? Ye Qiu asked.
Eliza nodded, glanced at Hamilton on Ye Qiu's left hand again, and said a little helplessly: "The sponsorship conditions they offer are good, and they will also use you as a global spokesperson to promote, which is good for you, but the disadvantage is also obvious, you will not be able to wear Hamilton in the future." ”
This is also the intention of endorsement and sponsorship, Tissot wants to completely monopolize Ye Qiu's wrist, let Ye Qiu wear their watch, and publicize and promote it, but this watch was given by Huang Chu, and Eliza has no bottom in her heart.
"Do you want to think about it?" Eliza asked with a smile.
Ye Qiu shook his head and sighed, "This person, how can he want to make any money?" ”
looked at Hamilton again, "Wear it and wear it, I still like Hamilton the most, I really don't wear it, I'm afraid Achu will let me sleep at the gate tonight, and I have to kneel on the washboard all day, believe it or not?" After saying that, he didn't believe it himself.
Of course, Eliza wouldn't believe his nonsense, and glared at him with funny eyes, thinking that he was too terrible to say about his wife, and that Achu, such a gentle person, would be so cruel to him?
"You're a slave to a wife," but she still decided to fall into the trap for Ye Qiu, as for Tissot's side, she already wanted how to refuse.
She knows Ye Qiu very well, and naturally knows that some things, some people, and some things are more important to Ye Qiu than anything else
