Volume 1 Chapter 299 Positioning: Substitute!
Frankly speaking, Ye Qiu has always felt that he definitely does not look like a businessman, because he lacks the character of a businessman.
Determination, courage, commitment, courage, and risk-taking all these spiritual temperaments that a businessman should have, but there is one thing that a businessman must have, but he does not have it, that is, ruthlessness
For the sake of interests, he can sacrifice everything at critical moments, even including the people around him, which Ye Qiu can't do.
For Ye Qiu, feelings are very important things, not only family, love, and friendship, but even his feelings for the team, players, fans, staff, etc., as well as his treatment of employees and subordinates in the company.
If you look at it from the perspective of being a person, although Ye Qiu is not a good person, at least he is affectionate and righteous, but from a business point of view, Ye Qiu belongs to that kind of emotional thing, which is not only not a good thing for the leader of a company, but a bad thing.
So all along, Ye Qiu has not been involved in the company's operation, he clearly knows his weaknesses and shortcomings, so he never points fingers, and leaves everything to Eliza, and the latter did not disappoint him, keeping both companies in order, and the business is developing bigger and bigger.
And now, after a long talk with Eliza, he also feels that further formalizing the company is absolutely beneficial to the company, and the joining of professionals can further improve the company's shortcomings and weaknesses.
With Ye Qiu's approval, Eliza also decided to let it go, and she also wanted to use the money that Ye Qiu had earned from speculating in oil futures before, plus the money that Ye Qiu injected into the company, in addition to leaving a part of the company's business needs, there was still more than 100 million euros left, and she was ready to use it all for short-term investment.
Now Ye Qiu's assets have a lot, aside from a few places in China, in London and Dubai, he has Ye Technology, now the scale of this company is not small, if the mobile phone is made, if it can really cause hot sales, the market value must be dozens of times higher than now, or even more than a hundred times.
In addition, he also has stocks invested in Apple, which was bought when it was 7 yuan, with a total value of more than 100 million, and now Apple's IpOD can be said to dominate the rivers and lakes, and even computers are selling very well, and the stock price is also rising, but in the past two years, because of Jobs's cancer, Apple's stock price has plummeted, and Ye Qiu is still holding it in his hand.
Jobs has decided to undergo surgery, if according to Ye Qiu's previous life, Jobs returned to the company at the beginning of 05, and then Apple split the shares, one or two, then Ye Qiu's current shares will become more valuable because of this, because at the beginning of the UU year, Apple's single share price is close to RU yuan.
In other words, by that time, the share price of Apple in Ye Qiu's hands will likely exceed 100 million euros.
Of course, this is the history that Ye Qiu is familiar with, and it is still impossible to say what the situation will be when the time comes, but Ye Qiu already has his own ideas, and he decided that he can't wait for Apple's stock price any longer, after all, he is going to engage in smart phones now, and the scale is so large, no one knows what will happen when the time comes.
So he decided that when Apple's stock price had recovered about the same, he would sell the stock, so that even if he was lame in his life, he would no longer have to worry about eating, drinking, and having fun.
And he also decided that after selling Apple's shares, he would buy a football club of his own, and then rely on his own strength to bring this team step by step to become the top giant in Europe
The day after Chelsea's arrival in Seattle, the squad played their first warm-up game in the United States.
To Ye Qiu's surprise, the fans on the American side didn't seem to react too strongly to such a football game, and the crowd he was expecting did not appear, and the stands were a little empty, and it didn't seem to be enthusiastic enough.
Against Martin O'Neal's Celtics, Ye Qiu didn't dare to be careless at all, the strength of this team is not bad.
Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, Patrice Evra, Cannavaro, John Terry and Gallas at the back, Davies and Makelele at the back, Ribery, Joe Cole and Rooney in attack, and Drogba as the lone striker.
This line-up was also the starting line-up for the first warm-up game, except that right-back Son Jihai was replaced by Gallas.
Although Davis and Makelele are both defensive players, Davies actually has a strong impact, a large defensive area, and certain characteristics of advancing with the ball, while Makelele is very good at dividing the ball, especially on the two wings.
Without Deco, Chelsea's midfield has obviously become faster and more impactful, but it lacks the calmness and urgency of Deco, so Chelsea launched a fierce attack on Celtic from the beginning of the game.
In the 16th minute, Ribery broke through on the left side and passed to Drogba, who knocked back, Davies got the ball and quickly inserted it, and shot directly into the Celtic goal from the goal, 0
Celtic were overwhelmed by Chelsea's attacking prowess and O'Neal had to adopt a strategy of shrinking defence, and in this case, the lack of variation in Chelsea's attacking routine was revealed.
In this game, O'Neill specifically arranged Petrov to suppress Joe Cole, whose range of movement was limited, making Chelsea's entire attacking routine unable to do whatever he wanted in the same way as he did against Oxford United, and lacking Deco's ability to move the ball and comb the ball in midfield, Chelsea's midfield was a bit chaotic.
The first half ended at 0 minutes, and Ye Qiu made a large number of substitutions in the second half.
Cesc Fabregas replaced Joe Cole and formed a midfield three with Davies and Claude Makelele, Son Jihai replaced John Terry on the right, bringing Gallas back to the middle to join Cannavaro, and Van Persie replacing Rooney up front.
This series of changes made Chelsea's attack more dangerous in the second half, especially in the midfield led by Cesc Fabregas, the Spanish youngster completed the combing of the midfield very well, although young, but very general, with the ball and passing are very steady and calm, which allowed Chelsea to break the Celtic goal quickly after the start of the second half.
In the 50th minute, Ribery continued to dribble on the left side to change speed and direction, passing through the knockback between the two defenders, Drogba stopped the ball and carried the opponent's central defender with his body, and volleyed into the net, 0
The Ivorian has improved a lot in his shooting skills under the tutelage of the coaching staff, especially in terms of consistency.
After taking the lead, Ye Qiu continued to make substitutions, Gudjohnsen replaced Drogba, Parker replaced Makelele, Essien replaced Davies, Robert Huter replaced Cannavaro, and Messi replaced the best performer Franck Ribery.
Continuous substitution adjustments, but Chelsea's offensive power does not seem to be weakened by this, when Messi came on the field, formed a breakthrough on the left side of the cross, Gudjohnsen stopped the ball in the penalty area and passed diagonally to the right, Van Persie inserted into the penalty area with his ribs, formed a single knife, pushed into the net, 0
But successive substitutions also caused instability for Chelsea, and Celtic soon took advantage of a missed corner in the UR minute for Beattie to score a game-changing goal
But in the 87th minute, Fabregas in the middle of Chelsea sent a scalpel-like through ball, Van Persie cut into the penalty area from the right rib again, and scored a single knife again after the offside, 4L
The Dutch striker, who scored twice, was very emotional, rushed directly to the sidelines, cheered loudly, this brace showed his excellent competitive form, and in Van der Vaart, Sneijder and Robben and other peers have been selected for the national team, and played the European Cup, he obviously felt the pressure, whether it is training or playing, more fighting spirit.
4I Chelsea's first game in the United States was off to a good start
Pittsburgh, USA, Champions Tour Match 5, Chelsea vs. Roma.
Ye Qiu continued to make changes to the team's starting lineup in this game, Cesc Fabregas started for the first time in the warm-up game, partnering Makelele, while Davies, who started in succession, was left on the bench by Ye Qiu, and Joe Cole, Rooney and Robin van Persie formed an attacking phalanx behind Drogba.
The defensive formation is Evra, Cannavaro, John Terry and Son Jihai, and the goalkeeper is still Van der Sar.
Cesc Fabregas, who was very eye-catching in the last game, was obviously not excited enough in this game and performed very sluggishly, but it was Joe Cole, who was pulled to the left, in the 10th minute, in the face of two defenders at a time, he passed continuously, successfully broke through, and hit a left-footed volley in the small penalty area, 0
Seeing Joe Cole score a goal, Ye Qiu really wanted to ask, what does this guy mean?
I want to give him a chance, but after his eye-catching performance in the first game, he was completely sluggish in the second game, and now he is pulled to the side, and he has shown his strength again, is he suitable for playing on the side?
Ye Qiu will definitely not think so, because Joe Cole lacks speed and impact on the wing, which is not a good thing.
However, after scoring a good goal, Joe Cole also seemed to be on the definite, and Chelsea's performance was disappointing afterwards.
In the second half, Ye Qiu directly replaced Frank Lampard, who had completed physical reserve training, replaced Joe Cole, and replaced Van Persie with Franck Ribery, the Frenchman went to play on the left, Lampard sat in the middle, and Rooney went to play on the right.
After Frank Lampard returned to the team, Chelsea's attack was clearly more layered than before, after all, the combination between Frank Lampard and Drogba was better than with Rooney, and in the first minute, it was Ribery's breakthrough on the left, Lampard cut in and received Ribery's cross, and the near post headed home, 0
In the first minute, it was Frank Lampard who volleyed hard in front of goal, bumped into Roma goalkeeper Zotti and got out of his hands, and Drogba followed up with a follow-up shot to easily extend the score to 0
In the three warm-up games, Chelsea won all the opponents, and they were all victories, which made many people see Chelsea's strong strength, but after the game with Roma, Ye Qiu said in an interview with the media that he was not satisfied with the current situation of the team, because the current Chelsea is far from the best state.
"We've just finished a high-intensity buildup in London, a lot of the players have just gone through the European Championships, which makes all of us tired, and after coming to the United States, in just five days, we have crossed the whole of the United States from Seattle in the west to New York in the east, which also caused difficulties for our players."
'Yes, I'm happy with the performance of the players, but I'm sure we're nowhere near fit until now because we still have some players who haven't come back and we've got some players who are trying to adjust to their form and I'm sure we'll be the best Chelsea can be before the season starts.'
And many media have also analyzed, thinking that Chelsea's two warm-up games in the United States, after losing Deco and Ronaldinho, the team's control has obviously declined, especially in the control of the rhythm, Deco's absence still has a great impact.
"Cesc Fabregas is a very talented teenager, I am very optimistic about him, he will be the top midfielder in the future, but now he is still young and needs to hone and improve his level, so we should not ask for him higher because he is already very good, and the same is our Messi and Hut, they are both great and good" Ye Qiu continued to defend his players.
The Daily Telegraph also commented that Chelsea are clearly different from last season, and now seem to be consciously pursuing a more attacking style of play, no longer focusing on high-intensity pressing as in the past, which is reflected in more through and forward passes in the game.
"Maybe because of Ye Qiu's adjustments and changes to Chelsea, but because of the absence of Ronaldinho and Deco, Chelsea exposed a lot of problems in the game, such as passing and receiving the ball too fast-paced, resulting in more mistakes, if it weren't for the team's excellent defense, Chelsea would have conceded more goals."
But they also believe that those situations could be well improved with the return of Deco and Ronaldinho.
Of course, Chelsea are not without their problems, most notably Joe Cole and Wayne Rooney.
If Wayne Rooney's adaptation to the team and integration into the tactical system can be solved over time, then Joe Cole's problem has always been there, and that is that he seems to be a mix of good and bad for the current Chelsea team, sometimes too good to be amazing, and sometimes so bad that you want to sell him on the spot.
This problem has been around for a long time, and Joe Cole's performance last season had some ups and downs, and many people had opinions on Ye Qiu's attitude towards using Joe Cole, believing that England's talents should be given a better environment to give full play to their talents.
In the first game against Oxford United, Ye Qiu gave Joe Cole absolute freedom, and his performance shocked the whole of England, and everyone shouted that this season's Chelsea midfield will be the show of Joe Cole and Ronaldinho, the two great talents, who will make Chelsea's attacking power more amazing.
But after coming to the United States, the second round played the Celtics, the same tactics and the same lineup, the difference is that the opponent is stronger and more targeted, and then Joe Cole is directly invisible, and in the third game, Joe Cole is lackluster except for that impressive opening score.
Everyone can see clearly, this is not Ye Qiu's problem at the tactical level, but it should be Joe Cole's problem.
"He still has to go to the wing" Ye Qiu made his own judgment on Ten Carter and the coaching staff when he summed up after the game.
"The middle is often densely defended, and it is easy to be pressed and caught by the opponent, and the weakness of physical fitness and physical fitness makes it easy for him to disappear once he falls into the opponent's key marking."
Ten Carter also noticed this, and everyone was still wondering if Joe Cole could be improved, but the Englishman didn't seem to have much interest in it, and his defense has not improved significantly even now, and his fitness has not improved much, and many people laughed at it because of this, Joe Cole is the type who panted in the middle of the game.
'But his lack of pace on the wing, his skill and his ability to combine the ball allowed him to move from the wing to the middle, which was very good, and the goal against Roma was clearly the same pattern, but we couldn't afford a second Ronaldinho up front,' Ten Carter expressed his concerns.
The line-up of a team needs to be weighed by the head coach from front to back.
There is already a Ronaldinho in the front, if there is another Joe Cole, then Chelsea's frontcourt pressing and defense will completely collapse, and then the team's entire offensive and defensive system will have to take a big break, which is too costly for Chelsea.
So many times, the manager also needs to make a choice, either let the players change themselves to adapt to the team, or the team adapts to the players tactically, there is no doubt that with Ronaldinho, Lampard, Drogba, Deco and other players in charge, Joe Cole is not important enough for Ye Qiu to change the team to accommodate him.
After hearing Tenkart's words, Ye Qiu smiled, although he was very reluctant, he still had to admit that this talent, who is known as the most delicate skill in England, may only be able to play as a substitute in his own team, as a substitute for Ronaldinho.
The game that played Oxford United's front midfielder was more because Oxford United's loose formation did not put much pressure on Joe Cole, which led to the excellent performance of the English, but there was no way to play the Premier League and the Champions League, so Ye Qiu could be regarded as a new round of positioning for Joe Cole, that is, Ronaldinho's substitute.
After coming to this conclusion, Ye Qiu also completed the preliminary investigation of the team, except for the competition between Ribery and Rooney on the right wing, Ye Qiu has his favorite candidates in other positions.
The next step is to return to Europe from the United States and go to Amsterdam to participate in the Amsterdam Cup, Ye Qiu will continue to use two Amsterdam Cup games, as well as three warm-up matches with Zaragoza after returning to London, to further investigate the team's main lineup.
Deco and Ronaldinho and McCone will also join Chelsea in the Netherlands, and when everyone in the squad is in place, Ye Qiu can further examine the main squad and make adjustments to the tactical details.
