In ancient poems, it is said that the spring river plumbing duck prophet.

If you put this sentence in a football club, as long as there is a little bit of wind and grass at the top, the players are the first to feel it, so now the players of Chelsea have all felt the changes in the club.

It should be said that since Chelsea won the Premier League and the Champions League a year ago, there have been rumors of discord between Ye Qiu and Abramovich, a very important reason is that Abramovich wants to introduce Shevchenko, Ballack, Nedved and other superstars, while Ye Qiu insists on reusing the players in the existing team.

Although Chelsea officials, Roman Abramovich and Ye Qiu have denied this on a number of different occasions, the players at Cobham have clearly felt the change in Abramovich's attitude towards the team, and he is now basically not in the dressing room, does not come to Cobham, and the original act of violating the contract to give bonuses to players has never happened again.

Abramovich and Ye Qiu are at odds, which is not uncommon in Cobham, but everyone is in their hearts and refuses to say it, and they can't say it, because it is a matter of internal secrets within the team, and whoever says it will die.

But by noon today, when they arrived in Cobham, they found that Cobham had one more person.

Avran Grant, a man he had never heard of before, was coming to Cobham as Director of Technology.

No one will be unfamiliar with this position, including Redknapp and many other Premier League coaches have announced their resignation and resignation because of the technical director, this position in the eyes of many people, is to represent the will of the management, and the role of the manager.

Suddenly, for no reason, a technical director was parachuted, and everyone knew what kind of signal this represented.

So, all afternoon, the Cobham training base looked very depressed, not the laughter of the past, but a little more worried, they were all worried, will the head coach be like Redknapp, as soon as the technical director takes office, he will announce his resignation?

"No" In the players' entertainment area, captain Terry stood up, "the head is not an irresponsible person, the team is now at a critical juncture, we are only one step away from the top honor, he will not give up at this time"

"Yes, and a big reason for Uncle Harry Redknapp's direct departure from Portsmouth is the lack of support, but now it shouldn't be enough for our team, at least, the club's top priority now must be to support the team to go all out to attack the FA Cup and the Champions League."

Frank Lampard and the Harry Redknapp family are world friends, and have their own sources of information about Redknapp's departure from Portsmouth, so he knows very well why Redknapp is leaving Portsmouth in the first place.

"But it's hard to say, I always didn't like management meddling in Cobham's affairs, and now suddenly there is a technical director for no reason" Joe Cole is very worried, he is already a little sensitive, and his agent is Pini Zahavi, "I know Avran Grant, he is a very good friend of Pini Zahavi. ”

When it came to Pini Zahavi, almost everyone present was silent, because almost every one of them had been poached by Pini Zahavi, so they were very aware of the influence of the Israelis on Chelsea, so when they heard that Afran Grant was a friend of Pini Zahavi, they suddenly became worried again.

In the past two years, more and more people have invested in Eliza Moon's brokerage company, not because Ye Qiu also belongs to this company, but because this company can bring them more benefits and benefits.

If Pini Zahavi, as an agent, fights for the interests of the player by fighting for the contract, and then he takes commission from the contract, and even he will not hesitate to encourage the player to transfer in order to fight for the benefit, of course, this kind of means and tricks are already well-known in the agent world.

But Eliza Moon earns commissions from players in a different way, although her company also takes commissions from players' contracts, but does not force them, such as Ronaldinho, whose agent is his brother, just gave the image rights to Eliza Moon's company to operate, and she can bring Ronaldinho at least 30 million euros a year.

As for the players who have licensed contracts and transfers to her, the company only takes the minimum commission, and more through commercial operations to complete the development of the commercial value of the players, so although there are not many players under Eliza Moon, each of them is a very influential first-class star.

Rooney also switched to Eliza not long ago, and the horror is that after switching to the company, Rooney signed several blockbuster contracts one after another, Nike sponsorship fee of 1.5 million euros a year, Coca-Cola 1 million euros a year, and sponsorship contracts with many well-known brands in the United Kingdom, as well as autobiographies signed with well-known publishing houses, these commercial operations will bring Rooney more than 10UU million euros of income every year, making Rooney the highest-paid players in world football.

This is Eliza Moon's method, she does not suck blood from the player's salary and contract, but actively opens up new income channels and business operations for the player, and then takes a cut from it, and this part of the commission is generally kept in the reasonable range of 10, which is impossible to enjoy under other agents.

Of course, not everyone can enter this company, Eliza Moon is more strict in the selection of players, and it is rumored that this company only signs first-class or future first-class stars, so in the past two years, many players have joined this company proudly.

The players in the Chelsea team are basically divided into two factions, especially with the collapse of Paul Stretford due to the black and gold turmoil, Rooney switched to Eliza Moon, Chelsea's players are basically Eliza Moon and Pini Zahavi's players, of which Pini Zahavi is trying to poach Eliza's players in every possible way.

However, the players are not stupid, Pini Zahavi is like a vampire, attached to the players, does not make blood, only sucks blood, but Eliza is trying to make blood for the players, and then profit from it, in contrast, who wants to switch to Pini Zahavi?

But they also know very well that Pini Zahavi has the trust of Abramovich, and the Israelis have long wanted to remove Ye Qiu from power, but they have never been given the opportunity, and this time they sent Afran Grant to Cobham, maybe it was he who did it secretly.

Thinking of this, all the players present were worried.

At this moment, I saw someone push open the door of the players' entertainment area, walked in, and greeted all the players present with a smile on his face, "Hello, it's all there, what about a meeting?" ”

In Avlan Grant's eyes, this should be a very friendly greeting, and he also tried his best to reassure the players, so that these players at least could not accept, but at least they should not resist, and it was best to be friends, but he did not expect that the most friendly gesture he tried to put on made all the players present change their faces.

"How did you get in?" Lampard was the first to stand up, "Were you just eavesdropping outside?" ”

was drunk like this by the vice captain of the team, and Afran Grant was immediately stunned, "No, no eavesdropping"

John Terry also stood up, "Then who allowed you to walk in?" This is the players' entertainment area, don't you know the rules? ”

"What rules?" Avlan Grant only felt his legs tremble, and his heart was a little weak.

Rules, yes, Cobham's rules are his deadliest weakness

"The rule of Cobham is that no one in the player entertainment area stops except the players" Ye Qiu's voice sounded behind Afran Grant, and when the Israeli turned around and looked at him, he stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, "Including me"

Looking at the players glaring at him angrily, Afran Grant immediately realized that he had broken the rules and offended the privacy of the players, and the mood in his heart that originally wanted to please the players was suddenly thrown out of the clouds, where can he still take care of it, and the first thought is to quickly save the situation.

But just when he was about to explain, Ye Qiu waved his hand, "Forget it, Mr. Grant is here for the first time, he doesn't understand the rules, don't blame him, don't worry about it, just your little, who wants to eavesdrop?" ”

Ye Qiu's words made many players present laugh.

"Head, what you said is not right, you are not uncommon to hear, it is difficult to guarantee that others are not interested" Ribery was most familiar with Ye Qiu, joking.

Grant stood in the middle, feeling very embarrassed, he couldn't go, he didn't go, he couldn't dig a hole in the ground.

"Okay, clean up and go to the conference room for a meeting" Ye Qiu explained, turned around and left.

From beginning to end, he didn't take a straight look at Afran Grant, much to the Israelis' embarrassment.

In fact, he didn't want to offend Ye Qiu, but he just wanted to get the opportunity to work at Chelsea, because this kind of resume in Europe's top teams can make him better accepted by other teams in Europe's mainstream leagues, and he also hopes that he can one day stand on the top stage in Europe, just like Ye Qiu.

But it's a pity that from the moment he entered Cobham, the relationship between him and Ye Qiu was destined to be incompatible.

Just how disciplined Chelsea's players really are is evident from the amount of time they have been playing.

Ye Qiu said that he was going to have a meeting, and Afran Grant followed him out of the players' entertainment area, hesitating along the way whether to go to the auditor as well, and then answered a phone call from Pini Zahavi, and the Israeli agent on the other side of the phone told him to participate in more affairs and not express his opinions, and then he decided to go to the audit.

When he came to the conference room, he saw that all the players had arrived, and in the originally noisy conference room, the players were talking and laughing, but as soon as he appeared, the whole audience was silent, which made Grant who walked into the conference room even more embarrassed, and he wanted to leave directly on the spot, but in the end he resisted this urge and sat down in the most remote position.

Ye Qiu walked into the conference room with his assistants, and all the players in the audience immediately looked at Ye Qiu, which made Grant, who was sitting on the side, both admired and worried, he admired Ye Qiu's influence and status in the minds of the players, and worried that the higher Ye Qiu's status, the more difficult it was for him to integrate into this circle, because he knew very well what he represented.

"I'm sure you've all received the news" Ye Qiu's opening remarks were very direct, without the kind of roundabouts of others, "I will be banned for two games in the Champions League, but I tell you, even if I am banned, I still have enough confidence and certainty to defeat any opponent, no matter who he is"

Ye Qiu's words received a nod of support and affirmation from almost all the players present.

"We've got a lot of work ahead of us, we have to play Porto away in midweek next week, I said, this game is not only going to win, we're going to have to bloody the Dragons, I want you to completely crush Porto and avenge our team-mates, can you do that?"

"Yes"

"I can do it"

As soon as the players think of the game against Porto, the fire in their hearts can't help but go up, too depressed

"We've already won the Premier League and I'm going to think about putting more young players on the pitch in the next few rounds, and I'm going to rotate the squad because we have a lot of injuries in the squad at the moment, but don't think I'm going to give up on the game, on the contrary, I always have one goal."

"Victory" the players shouted in reply.

"Yes," Ye Qiu nodded.

Ye Qiu then arranged for the team to face Bolton Wanderers in two days' time, including Van Persie, Cesc Fabregas, Messi, Parker, Robert Hutter and other players have been qualified, and Chelsea can almost be said to play with substitutes and youth team players.

According to Grant's observation, the Chelsea players do not seem to despise this game at all, on the contrary, when Ye Qiu analyzed Bolton, they all seemed to attach great importance to it, which made people feel that they were not going to give up this game, but only the players who played were different, but the goal remained the same, and they still had to do their best to win.

'It's going to be difficult to play Porto next week, I'm going to have to sit in the stands and not be able to give you instructions at the first time, so it's going to take all of you to be more proactive than usual and work harder than usual'

Ye Qiu's words were once again nodded and agreed by the players present, and they all had resolute looks on their faces

'Porto are at the bottom and I'm not there, so they will feel like they have an opportunity, and if I were Mourinho, I would have taken the opening attack and directly disrupted our tactical deployment, so that our on-the-spot adaptability that has become sluggish due to the loss of the manager is completely exposed."

Ye Qiu was analyzing the tactics and deployment that Porto might adopt, Grant listened and couldn't help nodding, this is indeed a very effective method, because without a head coach, on-the-spot command is a problem, once the deployment of Chelsea is disrupted after the opening, then Porto will likely take advantage of the chaos to break down Chelsea.

"But if Porto thought they could do that, then they would be underestimating us Chelsea" Ye Qiu stepped off the main podium and walked in front of the players.

"What are we? We are Chelsea, a team of experienced winners, what difficulties have we had, what storms have we not seen? A tiny Porto just dare to be presumptuous in front of us, I'll fuck it"

Ye Qiu burst into a foul mouth at this time, not only did it not make people feel vulgar, but it aroused the blood of everyone present.

"We don't care what tactics they adopt after the opening, we don't care whether they want to attack or defend after the opening, in short, we have only one choice, which is to attack the Dragons in Portugal, we have to be bold from the beginning, and if Porto also chooses to attack, then let them see what is the sharpest attack in Europe."

"If that Portuguese doesn't have the eggs and doesn't dare to press out, then we're going to show them how fragile and vulnerable their proud defence is in front of our attack

Ye Qiu's words immediately aroused a round of applause from the players present, and even Grant couldn't help but nod his head secretly in admiration, bold, very bold, when the head coach was banned, he even adopted such bold offensive tactics, which shows that Ye Qiu has a very strong confidence in his team, and this confidence is also infected and instilled in the players of Chelsea.

Therefore, when Ye Qiu decided to play like this, there was no one in the Chelsea team to refute it, which shows that this team is already Ye Qiu's team alone, and it is difficult for anyone, including Abramovich, to get involved

"I can also expect that Porto will definitely use their home advantage in this game, to adopt more brutal and brutal tactics, and I can even predict that the UEFA referee in this game will likely continue to favor them, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that we have to win this game, we have to win, even if it costs more, we have to win, because we have to use this game to prove one thing, no one, no means, can break us Chelsea"

When he said this, Ye Qiu gritted his teeth and looked at his players, passing by them one by one.

"We don't care about the future, no one knows what will happen in the future, we don't care about the future, no one knows what will happen in the future, we will grasp the present, our present is to be desperate, even if it costs more and more painfully, we must defeat Porto, capture the dragon stadium they are proud of, and avenge our teammates who fell on the field"

'If any of you can't do it, then you don't deserve to be a Chelsea player because we are Chelsea, a team that only accepts men'

'So, in the next few days, we're going to do our best to play on our attacking tactics, and at the Stadio de Dragons in Portugal, I'm going to see a Chelsea team that is attacking all the time, and I'm going to see a good Chelsea game of Porto

There was a round of applause in the room, and all the players stood up and applauded to assure the manager of their support and support for him, while at the same time, every player had a resolute look on their faces, and they were ready to do everything they could for the away game against Porto.

There is no foresight, no hesitation, just an uncomfortable bloody nature and tenacious fighting spirit

This is a real iron army
