A plane returning to London, England from Istanbul, Turkey, overnight, flew at an altitude of 10,000 meters

The sun was rising, and there were thick clouds below the plane, and behind it was the morning sun that dyed a small patch of red in the sky.

"Ding-dong, ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to arrive in London, we will land at Heathrow Airport, please return to your seat, fasten your seatbelts, put away the table in front of your seat, and turn off all electronic devices, thank you for your cooperation"

With a reminder from the cabin attendant, the players, staff and staff of Chelsea, who had been asleep in the cabin, suddenly woke up one by one, and the originally quiet cabin was suddenly full of movement.

Because the due date is approaching, Huang Chu did not come to Istanbul, Turkey, but Eliza, who made a special trip back to Europe from the United States to watch the Chelsea game, but she didn't expect the worst result to be a loss, and now she is sitting next to Ye Qiu, covered with Ye Qiu's coat.

The sleepy insect was on the brain, this Nizi opened her eyes slightly, made sure that the seat belt on her body was not loose, and closed it again, but she casually pulled Ye Qiu's blazer, and always felt a little cold, so it was better to cover it warmly.

Ye Qiu sat on the side, seeing that she didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, turned her head sideways, and looked out from the window.

"Wow, rainbow," said a sleepy-eyed Eliza, sleepy.

"Don't you sleep?" Ye Qiu looked at her and asked with a smile.

"When I'm a pig?" Eliza sat up straight angrily, took off the suit on her body, and gently put it next to Ye Qiu, "But I still have to make up for sleep after I go back, a woman's biggest natural enemy is lack of sleep." ”

It seems to be a woman's nature to love beauty

When Ye Qiu was smiling, he clearly felt that the plane was slowly falling into the clouds, and the huge London finally appeared in front of him.

Looking at London from above, the most conspicuous thing is the meandering River Thames and the dense urban area, although there are no skyscrapers in the western half of London, but the buildings here are very dense, which can be described as a real inch of land.

As long as I think of it, I live and work in this city on weekdays, but at this moment, looking down like this from mid-air, I feel that it is so small, and the whole person's mood has become different, and the depression of losing has also swept away most of it, replaced by a renewed fighting spirit.

Hearing Ye Qiu exhale heavily on the side, Eliza laughed, not speaking, but very relieved

Ye Qiu has never been a person who needs to be comforted, this Huang Chu understands him, and she knows him very well, but sometimes, Huang Chu will take a more gentle way to explain him, and she likes to quarrel with him.

But this time, she rarely didn't say much.

"After thinking about it for more than four hours, have you figured it out?" Eliza asked with concern.

After hearing this, Ye Qiu turned his head sideways and glanced at her, "You've been pretending to be asleep and looking at me?" "That smile is indescribably playful.

Rao is Eliza is well-informed, and she boasts that she is thick enough, and when she was teased by him like this, her pink face turned red at the root of her ears, "You stink, right?" Who pretended to be asleep watching you? I think that with your dead personality, eighty percent of you can't sleep. ”

Ye Qiu didn't say much after hearing this, and smiled, "You still know me."

Eliza spat at him angrily, but she could see that he had already made up his mind

And in fact, no matter what Ye Qiu decides to do, she will definitely support him

It's not that she is blind and lacks assertiveness, but because she knows very well that what Ye Qiu has decided will not be easily changed, and once Ye Qiu decides to do something, then he will definitely do everything possible to do it well, and he will definitely succeed.

The team's bus was just outside the departure hall at Heathrow Airport, and the players, coaching staff and staff all got on the bus, while the players' families, relatives and friends got on other shuttles, or some of them drove their own cars and left Heathrow Airport in separate ways.

The journey back from Heathrow Airport to Cobham is relatively quiet.

Today's weather is not very good, the clouds are very thick, a little overcast, especially out of London, there is a feeling of after sunset in the evening, but the golden sunlight penetrating through the gaps in the clouds makes people feel a vigorous vitality, as if hope.

"Wait a minute, I have something to say"

When the team arrived at the Cobham training base, Ye Qiu said to the players in the parking lot.

The players didn't pay too much attention to it, all the games of this season were over, maybe Ye Qiu just wanted to say a few parting words, cheer for the team, and prepare for next season, so they dispersed.

The coaching staff was also disbanded subsequently, but Ye Qiu explained to Roland, and ten minutes later, let his core coaching staff come to his office for a meeting, which made Roland a little surprised and asked what was going on?

"It's okay" Ye Qiu patted Roland's shoulder, his expression seemed to sigh, Luo Fat Man is really getting fatter and fatter.

If there should be a fat man in every story who can always help the protagonist and selflessly support the protagonist, then there is no doubt that Roland, who has followed him all the way since the Ajax youth team, is the fat man in his own story, so Ye Qiu can't hide anything from Roland.

When he arrived on the second floor, he entered the office, washed his face and brushed his teeth, took a cold shower by the way, and shaved his beard, when Ye Qiu came out again, the members of the core coaching staff had already arrived, and they were sitting on the sofa in the hospitality area of his office.

"Sit more, you always say that the sofa in my office is not soft or hard and very comfortable, sit more, otherwise" Ye Qiu walked over and closed the door, but said with a smile in his mouth.

Speaking of sofas, it is indeed the most expensive set in Ye Qiu's office, it is not too soft, it is not too hard, and it is just right to sit up.

But his sudden words made the six people present show a look of surprise that could not be concealed

"What? Are you really " Although Tengkat has only worked with Ye Qiu for two seasons, he is considered a latecomer, but Ye Qiu relies on him very much, and his ability is beyond doubt, he quickly established his position in this coaching staff, and he is not stupid, he should be aware of the rumors from the outside world for a period of time.

As soon as they heard Tengkart say this, the other four people except Roland immediately became concerned.

They and Ye Qiu are grasshoppers on the same rope, and they are both prosperous, if Ye Qiu really can't shake his hands, then they will also be laid off.

"I'm tired," Ye Qiu sighed softly, "In the past year, I found that I couldn't put all my energy into football, I had to be careful to deal with some pressures that I didn't need to deal with, and I had to be ready at any time, I don't know what the reporter will tell me that I don't know about the road at all." ”

When he said this, Ye Qiu smiled, as if he was very open, "Since everyone no longer trusts each other, then it doesn't make sense for me to continue to stay, so I decided, I will go to Stamford Bridge later, and I will terminate the contract with them." ”

Everyone present was not too surprised, but a little surprised.

From the outside world to rumor that Abramovich privately signed an agreement with AC Milan on the introduction of Shevchenko, Ye Qiu was destined to make a choice, either he took the initiative to give in and let Shevchenko join the team, or he left, because Abramovich could not break the contract, then he had to compensate AC Milan UU 10,000 euros for breaking the contract.

This is actually a move, a move in which Abramovich coerced Ye Qiu to make concessions

But the problem is that Ye Qiu has always been a person who eats soft rather than hard, and the reason why he decided not to throw off the giants after deciding to leave Ajax is because he is not used to seeing the arrogant behavior of the giants, so he shouted to give money and time, he wants to build another giant, and he has also brought Chelsea to the point where it is today in the past two years.

Now, in addition to the accumulation and heritage of time, it is basically correct to say that Chelsea are giants

Abramovich has one more move, and that is Avran Grant.

The Israelis ostensibly just came to be a short-handed technical director, but this position has already caused a lot of controversy in the Premier League and even in various European clubs, and many teams, even the big ones, have such power struggles.

From the day Afran Grant came to Cobham, this matter was destined to have a result as soon as possible, and it was able to drag on until now, it was because Ye Qiu took into account the team's preparation for the whole season and withheld it, otherwise, he would have resigned on the spot at Stamford Bridge that day.

The coaching staff was not surprised by what Ye Qiu wanted now, but surprised that he was not willing to wait even for a moment.

"What are you going to do? Leaving Chelsea, where to go? "Roland had never heard Ye Qiu mention this.

Ye Qiu shook his head, "Don't get me wrong, I never thought of hiding it from you, what I think, you all know Lu Dao, I haven't decided where to go yet, but I want to take a break, maybe a year, maybe shorter, maybe longer, I don't know what to do." ”

Hearing Ye Qiu say this, the six people present immediately looked at each other, and each of them could see the loss in their hearts.

Even if they were like Tengkart, they used to coach independently, but after becoming Ye Qiu's assistant, they have gained significantly more, whether it is in terms of salary or fame and fortune.

At the very least, when he was a head coach before, who knew Ten Carter? But now when everyone talks about Tengkart, they all know that he is Ye Qiu's right-hand man, and if Ye Qiu resigns now and he gets a free body, he should not worry about not having a home, and there should be an invitation from the club.

The likes of Roland, Moniz, Muhrenstin, Frans Hawke and Peter Brandt will all be without nowhere to go, and even Chelsea are likely to keep them because they are all sought-after talents right now.

At the end of the day, football, like all walks of life in other societies, is the most scarce talent.

"It's okay to take a break" Roland nodded uncontrollably, a little disappointed, in the past few years, he has been fighting side by side with Ye Qiu, and now that Ye Qiu said that he wanted to rest, he didn't know what he was going to do.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back, and when I come back, I will not go to anyone, any team, even if he is a good team, I will not go to work for them again"

When Ye Qiu said this, the eyes of the six people present lit up when they heard it, as if they were all stimulated by Ye Qiu's words.

"I decided to buy a football club of my own," Ye Qiu said with great confidence.

"Buying your own football club?" Rowland was a little silent, how much does it cost?

After Ye Qiu came to Chelsea, the salary and bonus alone are a lot of money every year, Abramovich gave Ye Qiu more than 10 million euros last year, because Ye Qiu led the team to win the Premier League and the Champions League, and this year it is relatively small, but also won three crowns, and the bonus will not be less.

But for Ye Qiu, what he really earns the most is not only bonuses and salary income, but also some advertising and sponsorship contracts that Eliza has received for him outside, and it is expected that the income in this area will not be less than what he received from Chelsea in a year.

But even so, if you want to buy a football club, it is not a simple matter, it is definitely an astronomical amount.

For this point, Ye Qiu himself is also very clear that if at the beginning of the century, the Premier League was not as loud as it is now, a Premier League club at that time might have been tens of millions of euros, but at that time he had no money at all, and he was still accumulating his experience at Ajax, but when he wanted to make a move, a Premier League club would at least exceed 100 million now.

What is the purchase price, the investment must not be less than the purchase price, that is, if you take 100 million to buy a football club, then you have to be ready to invest another 100 million to operate and support the team to strengthen its strength, and this does not take into account the club's debt problem.

A few hundred million, in the opinion of Roland and others, that is absolutely astronomical.

"Don't worry, in a year or two, I will definitely come back" Ye Qiu patted Roland's shoulder with confidence, "So, when you negotiate contracts with others, you have to leave a back door for me, and when I come back, we will have another career and build a giant team that is completely our own."

Everyone is used to this combination, and they all know each other, Ye Qiu really hopes that when he comes back, they will still be able to gather around him and fight side by side with him.

Of course, Ye Qiu also said that if they have a better opportunity to give full play to their abilities, then they should also find their dreams and fulfill their wishes, and Ye Qiu will definitely give support and blessings.

The coaching staff and Ye Qiu are all close friends, they have phones with each other, and they have made an appointment to keep in touch at all times, and when Ye Qiu mentioned that if any of them wanted to stay at Chelsea, he was willing to help talk about it, and none of his core coaching staff chose to stay, but advanced and retreated with Ye Qiu, which made Ye Qiu quite moved.

Because at Chelsea, they are led to other teams may not be able to get a high salary, especially like Roland, who said he wants to return to Ajax, but the salary that Ajax can pay him may not be half of Chelsea.

Friends make friends, no need to say more.

After Ye Qiu told the coaching staff about his idea of leaving, he took the coaching staff to the conference room again.

The players all gathered here, and when they saw Ye Qiu and the coaching staff all appear with solemn expressions, many people felt that things were very wrong, and Ye Qiu did not hide his thoughts about leaving Chelsea to them.

"It's a great honour to coach this team and lead all of you, I'm very happy and proud of the last two seasons, and I'm proud to have spent these two years with you because you're always the best and the best in my mind."

After a pause, Ye Qiu showed a hint of a smile, somewhat bitter, "I used to think that I would be here for a long, long time, and I would always fight side by side with you, but I'm really sorry, I can't continue to accompany you forward, but please believe that I will always be your most loyal fan and friend." ”

"I hope that this departure will not affect our friendship with each other, and I also hope that you will still be able to call me for anything in the future, as you have done in the past, or ask me out for tea and dinner."

Ye Qiu stood on the podium at the end of the year, bowed deeply towards all the Chelsea first-team players present, "Thank you for your support and affirmation of me in the past two years, without you, I would not be where I am today, and I would not be Chelsea today, thank you."

"Head" Drogba was the first to run out, his leg injury was not yet healed, and he walked a little strangely.

Ye Qiu patted Drogba on the shoulder, "It has nothing to do with you, it's my own decision." ”

said that, but in fact, everyone understands that the disagreement between Ye Qiu and Abramovich started with Shevchenko, and after Afran Grant came to Cobham, everyone was mentally prepared for this.

"This earth will not stop rotating because of the lack of anyone, I am gone, there will definitely be another famous coach in the world soon, you all have to be careful, work hard, don't smash my signboard, and don't let people laugh at the strength of the players I brought out, do you know the way?" Ye Qiu said it very freely.

Seeing Ye Qiu leave the conference room, all the Chelsea players present showed a trace of confusion in their eyes.

Perhaps, many of them are mentally prepared for Ye Qiu's departure, after all, even the technical director has been parachuted, with their understanding of Ye Qiu, it is impossible for Ye Qiu to endure this breath, and it is already good to be able to endure it until now.

Their confusion is more about their future, Ye Qiu, who trusts and supports them, is gone, the new head coach will definitely bring his new tactical ideas and ideas, and will introduce a group of new players, what should they do when the time comes? Where do we go from here? Will he be able to continue to be a regular at Chelsea?

Including Drogba, Davies, Ribery, Messi, Fabregas, Van Persie and other players trusted and cultivated by Ye Qiu, it is inevitable that they will be a little apprehensive and uneasy in their hearts.

Of course, there will inevitably be a few substitutes waiting for the arrival of a new manager, who will bring them new opportunities and even take on the role of the team.
