After the end of this crucial battle between Chelsea and Manchester United, the whole of England and even Europe have begun to talk about the collapse of Manchester United, among them, Ye Qiu's comments on Manchester United have been widely disseminated and affirmed by countless professionals, who believe that Ye Qiu's views on Manchester United are to the point, and Ferguson has no way to refute them.

But sometimes you know the weaknesses and flaws of your opponent, but that doesn't mean you can beat them.

There is a saying that is very true, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, Manchester United is no longer good, the absolute strength is still one of the best in the Premier League, and it is not a strong role that any relegation team can lose.

Ye Qiu also saw this very clearly, so having said that, he believed that it would be effective sooner or later, so he didn't care about whether Manchester United would be doing or not, which was completely useless for Chelsea, because only playing his own game was serious.

If you don't play well in your own game, what can you get even if others make mistakes?

In midweek, Chelsea face their last-16 opponents in the Carabao Cup at Reading.

Although it was an away game, it was not far from London, but Ye Qiu had already arranged a substitute and a lineup of young players, and Van Persie's goal helped Chelsea beat Reading 0 away to advance to the next round against West Bromwich Albion.

Back in the Premier League, Chelsea travel to Leeds United.

Just experienced a summit battle with Manchester United, the team was affected a little, as a result, this round Manchester United beat Aston Villa 40, Chelsea was away to Leeds United, and it was Pennant who helped Leeds United score first, and Ronaldinho equalized later.

Luckily, Arsenal also drew the game, so Chelsea's lead is still U-points.

Ye Qiu was also very dissatisfied with this, and after returning to London, he held an internal meeting of the first team, and beat this group of players who thought that after beating Manchester United, they could easily beat other teams, and he used the fact that they were forced to draw by Leeds United away to tell them that there is no weak team in the Premier League.

On 9 June, Chelsea continued to play against Turkey as a substitute, with goals from Robin van Persie and Son Je-hae helping the team to beat Besiktas 0 away and finish top of the group.

As a result, all competitions in all eight Champions League groups have come to an end, with Chelsea and Sparta Prague finishing top two in the group.

Among all the groups, Ye Qiu also pays attention to another team, which is his old club Ajax.

Van Basten is still a little tender in the end, although Ajax has let go of a number of outstanding stars this season, including McConn, Van der Sar, Ibrahimovic and many others, but Ajax's Dutch squad is still there, with players such as Mascherano, Yaya Toure, Van der Vaart, Robben and Sneijder still in the team.

However, Ajax was eliminated in the competition with AC Milan, La Liga Celta and Belgium Club Brugge, and fell to the fourth place in the group, and even failed to qualify for the League Cup, which has to be said to be a very regrettable thing.

Ye Qiu didn't care who won the first place in the group, he cared about the second place in the group.

Bayern Munich and Deportivo La Coruna are second in the group, and Lyon and Monaco, the two French teams, have beaten the Bundesliga and La Liga giants to win the first place in the group, which has to be said that the giants in Europe seem to be in trouble this year.

But even so, no one wants to meet such a strong opponent, and Heathfield is also very good at playing the knockout round.

The draw was held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, Ye Qiu was busy with the league and did not participate, and Peter Kenyon, who had just taken up his post at Chelsea, went to Switzerland, and as soon as the bald man came out, he immediately brought good luck, and Chelsea drew Stuttgart, who were in the same group as Manchester United but were relegated to second place in the Bundesliga.

Manchester United met Porto, Real Madrid were more unlucky, they met Bayern Munich, and Arsenal met Celta.

After learning the results of the draw, a reporter from England interviewed Ye Qiu as soon as possible, and the latter gave Stuttgart a high evaluation, believing that the strength of this team is very good, "They are now the leaders of the Bundesliga, beating Bayern Munich, which shows that the strength of this team is extraordinary, and they are very good at playing at home"

Alex Ferguson's Manchester United suffered a big loss away from Stuttgart, a team that played attacking football in the Bundesliga, but they also made the same mistake as Ye Qiu did when he coached Ajax in his first Champions League appearance, and was overly obsessed with attacking, which is difficult to eat in the Champions League.

Ye Qiu is not worried about meeting an opponent like Stuttgart, on the contrary, he thinks that this draw is good, if he is unfortunate enough to draw Bayern Munich, then he will definitely cry miserably.

The good fortune of the Champions League draw did not carry over to the team, and in the 16th round of the Premier League, Chelsea hosted Bolton, and as a result, the Blues seemed to have exhausted all their energy in the game against Manchester United, ushering in two consecutive draws, and the opponents Arsenal and Manchester United both beat their opponents in succession, and the lead was reduced to four points

Ye Qiu has his own views on his team's sluggish performance in the last two rounds, he believes that this is the price that the team must pay in order to adjust their physical fitness, and adjusting their physical fitness is to better cope with the schedule during the winter break, but he believes that this will definitely not affect the team's stable performance on the road to winning the Premier League.

"We're still four points ahead now, aren't we?"

In midweek, Chelsea travelled to West Bromwich Albion Albion in the Carabao Cup, with goals from Cesc Fabregas and Franck Ribery helping Chelsea make it to the last four against Middlesbrough in the Premier League.

It has also given Chelsea the depth of the bench and the young talent in the youth team to be recognised by everyone, with the likes of Robin van Persie, Franck Ribery, Cesc Fabregas, Lionel Messi and Robert Hutter all excelling in the Carabao Cup, and they are now part of the squad as part of the squad.

Almost everyone believes that over time, this group of Chelsea rookies will become the backbone of the team.

In the 17th round of the Premier League, Chelsea welcomed Fulham.

This is a derby between London teams, the home stadium of the two teams is not far apart, with the rise of Chelsea this season, as a neighbor Fulham is very unwilling, and the young coach Chris Coleman, who previously helped Ye Qiu snipe Arsenal, is trying to snipe Chelsea in every possible way.

Admittedly, it was difficult for Chelsea to make a difference when Fulham played a stubborn counter-attack, but in the end, it was Didier Drogba's 71st-minute goal that helped Chelsea win 0 away.

Feng Shui takes turns, this time Arsenal drew with Bolton Wanderers, who is now in the limelight, directly becoming a sniper for the Premier League title contenders, specifically playing these strong teams, Wenger felt helpless about this, and watched his league points once again being stretched by Chelsea to U points, so angry that he almost vomited blood.

After this round, the Premier League ushered in a short week of Christmas break.

How do you spend Christmas and winter breaks?

This is obviously a problem for players in La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga, but they are having a headache over where to go on holiday.

But for the Premier League teams, this is not a problem at all, because they have played the 17th round of the Premier League on Sunday, ushered in the 18th round of the Premier League on Sunday, and the next is the most intensive winter break schedule, they simply don't have the kind of mind to think about vacation.

But almost all Premier League teams have Christmas and winter breaks scheduled for the Christmas and winter breaks, as it is a good opportunity for clubs to communicate with their players and to showcase themselves to the outside world during the holiday season.

Chelsea did not miss such an opportunity, so after the 17th round of the league, the team went to St Mary's Hospital, one of London's most famous hospitals, to visit the hospitalized children and presented them with a small Christmas gift from the club, hoping that they would recover and be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.

Considering that the players have to spend Christmas with their families, and from L day to day, the team's training camp will continue, so after Ye Qiu negotiated with the club, he decided to hold a routine dinner party in the afternoon.

This kind of dinner party will be held once a month in Chelsea, Ye Qiu saw the effect of this kind of dinner party during his previous Ajax coach, so after he came to Chelsea, he still implemented such a player dinner, once a month, the location is not necessarily, it can be arranged randomly, it can be in the hotel and restaurant, or it can be the player's home.

Because Ronaldinho had always hoped to invite the players and coaching staff to his home, it was finally agreed that the Christmas Eve dinner before Christmas would be held at Ronaldinho's villa in Cobham.

The villa is not far from Chelsea's new training base, so after training that morning, after changing clothes and showers, after lunch, everyone boarded the team bus and first arrived at Cobham, where the team had been working for a few months.

In order to be able to put it into use more quickly, Chelsea listened to Ye Qiu's suggestion and divided the whole project into two phases, the first phase is based on the team's training building and football field, and the goal of this phase is to try to complete it before the start of next season, that is, the team will start daily training at the Cobham training base next season

Ye Qiu had to admit that it was really easy to do things in this world with money, even in London, England.

Abramovich is not short of money, and the request is fast, so in just over three months, the first-team training building of the Cobham training base has been capped, and the surrounding walls have been completed, and the rest is to renovate and add equipment, I believe it will be completed within half a year, and there is no big problem.

The entrance of the gate is divided into two roads, go straight to the first team training ground, and go south to the youth training camp, the latter is along the Moore River all the way to the river, the entire training base covers an area of up to 150 acres, very large, and one-third of them are used by the first team, and the rest is all for the youth team training area.

The first team's training ground is also very spacious in terms of courts, in addition to the regular stadium for the first team, there are also small courts, a large range of comprehensive training grounds, and unlike the Harrington training base, each training ground here has advanced drainage and geothermal systems.

This time the first team came to the Cobham training base to observe Ye Qiu's meaning, he hopes to make the players feel the club's intentions for them, so don't look at the youth training camp is still yellow earth, but the facilities on the first team side are very perfect, the scenery of the entire training base is very beautiful, and the club even introduced river water from the Moore River to create an artificial lake.

In addition, the facilities of the training building are also luxurious, all the players' dormitories are built according to the standards of five-star hotels, in order to give the players the best training environment, and a series of facilities such as medical room, gymnasium, swimming pool, media room and so on, are very functional.

Coupled with the fact that the training ground is large and located on the outskirts of Cobham, there is a well-established security team at the intersection that prohibits anyone from entering, and through the greenery, it is difficult for anyone to spy on the team's training inside.

Ye Qiu is very satisfied with this training base, and through this trip, he can clearly feel the shock and admiration of the players for the club's big money, because whether it is from the players' dormitories or from the software and hardware facilities of the training base, Chelsea strives for the best and most perfect.

To put it bluntly, this training base, once completed, will be far from Arsenal's A.T. Kearney training base.

Ye Qiu also took this opportunity to encourage the players, after all, the team has invested so much money, and the purpose is also very clear, that is, I hope to create the most comfortable and best training environment for the players, and the players can also give the team a return on the results and better defeat the opponent on the court.

Amid the constant admiration of the players, the team boarded the bus and left the Cobham training base for Ronaldinho's mansion in Cobham.

Cobham is a place where London's wealthy like to live, it is relatively close to London, and the transportation is also very convenient, the houses are basically single-family villas, each with its own courtyard and garden, and it is also the most British architectural design, the only drawback is that it is old.

Ye Qiu also came to see the house here, but in the end he didn't choose to be in Cobham, but went to Totridge, because the house he chose later was newly built, the architectural style was more modern, and many facilities were more perfect, after all, it could keep up with the times.

This villa in Ronaldinho has a large garden and an excellent home theater, which is simply perfect for Brazilians who like to listen to songs and watch movies.

The house is not small, two and a half floors typical of a British mansion, without a garage, the first floor is the living room and the residence of Ronaldinho's mother, the second floor is for his brother and sister and their family, and the second and a half floors are for the home theater and Ronaldinho's bedroom.

In Brazilian parlance, the only regret of this house is that there is no swimming pool.

Because there is no garage, Ronaldinho and his family's car is parked in the garden behind the house, which is connected to the road, which is equivalent to an open-air parking lot, and their real garden is in front of the house, a large piece, because it has been prepared, so when the team bus arrives and the players are noisy, it is already full of the smell of Brazilian barbecue.

Ronaldinho's mother and sister are both masters, and they have been preparing this dinner together, and as soon as the players arrive, they can enjoy the most delicious food, and in order to accommodate the dining habits of professional players, they have made a very careful selection of food, many of which are still given by the club

It wasn't just the Chelsea players who were invited to the dinner by the neighbours, who had been invited to the dinner by the neighbours, who had been invited to the dinner by the club, and many of them were chasing to take pictures with the Chelsea stars.

Ye Qiu also met his fans, but he was more out of the players and got together with his coaching staff.

Because he knows very well that no matter how close the attitude of the head coach is, he must still have the authority of the head coach in front of the players, so as long as he is there, it is difficult for the players to let go of their hands and feet to have fun, so every time he has such a dinner, he will keep himself away from the players.

Ronaldinho's brother Assis is in charge of greeting Ye Qiu and the coaching staff, plus the children who adjust the atmosphere, they are happy.

"By the way, Mr. Ye Qiu, is Miss Moon here?" Ronaldinho's sister Daisy came over and asked, if she remembered correctly, Eliza Moon was also Ye Qiu's agent.

"Did you invite her?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile, he didn't know about it, so he didn't ask her.

"Of course, when we were picking a house and moving, she gave us a lot of help, I told her a few days ago, but today the phone always can't get through, it's all turned off, will something happen? It's really worrying" Daisy seemed to have a very good impression of Eliza, and her face was worried.

"It's okay, I'll give you a call to ask." Ye Qiu said with a smile.

He took out the phone and first called Eliza's private mobile phone, just like him, Eliza also has two mobile phones, one for business and one for private affairs, but what surprised Ye Qiu was that the mobile phone for private affairs was also turned off, which was a bit unusual.

Ye Qiu frowned, and made another call to the company, but the person on the other side of the company told him that he hadn't seen Eliza's shadow all day, and the phone calls were all turned off, and he had lost contact all day, which made Ye Qiu feel strange, it stands to reason that it would not be like this.

After thinking about it, Ye Qiu felt that there was no need for him here, there was Ronaldinho's family to entertain him, and the coaching staff was watching here, so he told Assis about it, and then told the players to leave Ronaldinho's house early.

When he arrived at Cobham and waited for a taxi to come, Ye Qiu went straight to Eliza's house.
