Early in the morning, before it was time to go to work, media reporters from all over Europe and the world gathered outside the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, and they were blocked outside the UEFA headquarters, patiently waiting for the latest news.

Just yesterday, Porto president Da Costa held a press conference, saying that Porto has been involved in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and Chelsea manager Ye Qiu is suspected of directing the game in violation of regulations during the ban by UEFA, believing that UEFA should disqualify Chelsea from the final and let Porto replace him.

This is definitely the most exciting news yesterday, in less than a few hours, it quickly spread all over the world, and the media quickly dug up one after another fierce information, including UEFA's special arrangement of staff to keep an eye on Ye Qiu.

Alan Hansen joked in yesterday's HH match program that "even if UEFA specially arranged two defenders to keep an eye on Ye Qiu, the cunning stadium magician still connected the two and hit the volley"

Porto is not an unsubstantiated accusation, after the game, the cleaning staff of the Dragon Stadium found a note proving that Ye Qiu commanded the game, and the note wrote in Chinese what Ye Qiu had to say to the coaching staff, such as asking them to press the full-backs up, while letting the team attack more on the left side, staring at Ferreira and the like.

After da Costa held a press conference, which caused an uproar, UEFA also received evidence from Porto, but also received a self-defense from Chelsea's Ye Qiu, and UEFA also said that it would hold a special meeting this morning with members of the Control and Disciplinary Committee to discuss a decision on the matter.

Because of this, early this morning, media reporters from all over the world gathered outside the UEFA headquarters, and the number of people exceeded 100.

Chelsea can be said to be in a breakthrough in recent times, even if the semi-finals and Porto are constantly in turmoil, but still send the Portuguese Super League team out of the Champions League with a two-legged aggregate score of 0, especially in the game at the Dragon Stadium, which made Porto lose face, and was criticized by da Costa as Porto's biggest shame in recent years.

The FA Cup final, the Premier League's last three rounds are also unbeaten, first 0 away to Bolton, 0 at home to Charlton Athletic, away to Newcastle, but because Chelsea are all on the bench, so to be able to achieve such results, everyone is very happy with the Blues, and they all think they have a good chance of winning the quadruple.

But obviously, it also depends on UEFA's wishes.

At this very moment, the members of the Control and Disciplinary Committee, which will determine the fate of Chelsea, are meeting in special session in a conference room on the second floor of UEFA headquarters.

The meeting was chaired by the Secretary-General of the Disciplinary Commission, Sijevikin, but also participated in the special session by the President of the Disciplinary Committee, Jossef Luis Gayás, the Spanish President, Jacques Anternin from Switzerland, the Vice-President of Switzerland, Jim Stiejen Hansen from Denmark, and Sando Beltz from Hungary.

There was a lot of heated discussion and there were two factions of opinion, but the main thing was not to deprive Chelsea of qualification for the final, as Da Costa wanted, which was absolutely impossible, otherwise the Champions League would have lost its authority altogether.

The focus of the discussion was clearly on whether Chelsea manager Ye Qiu was operating in violation of the law.

"We have to be clear that this is a very obvious provocation to UEFA's authority, this is obviously not the first time, before he used his mobile phone to command the team, we let him go, but he is still here, without the most severe warning, we will have no prestige at all, and then who will follow the rules that we have set?"

Jacques Anternin is a very famous judge in Switzerland, with a strong voice and a serious expression, and although he is only the vice-chairman of this disciplinary committee, he has great prestige, because he is not only familiar with football, but also with the rules.

"But we must also be clear, and it is very clear in his self-defense, and we can clearly see from the supervisor's report that the note did not come out of his hand, and that there is clearly no restriction on the note in our rules," said Joseph Luis Gayas with a wry smile.

He received a call from UEFA President Johansson and CEO Olsen last night, this matter has attracted great attention, Ye Qiu has a very big influence in the current football world, plus in the past few years, the outside world has been rumored that UEFA intends to suppress Ye Qiu, and this year's Champions League is also seen by many people as UEFA will do its best to prevent Chelsea from defending the title.

If an inappropriate judgment is made on this matter at such a time, it will inevitably lead to an even greater crisis.

"That's where he's smart," Jacquet Anternin scolded indignantly, pointing indignantly at the self-defense, "but it's also his greatest provocation to us, and he treats us all like fools to play with, do you think you believe it?" ”

In Ye Qiu's self-defense, he denied that he had violated the rules by directing the game, he said that it was just a note that he wrote casually, but he threw it on the ground, and as a result, he didn't know who threw it off the field, and then was picked up by the cleaning workers, and Ye Qiu also said in the self-defense that he could ask the two supervisors for details.

In addition, according to UEFA rules, the head coach who was sent off the field with a red card is no longer allowed to participate in directing the game during the ban, and after Ye Qiu used his mobile phone to remotely control the coaching staff to direct the game, UEFA's rules added mobile phones and text messages, but in this game he played a new trick and even passed the note.

None of the members of the Disciplinary Committee had any objections to the rules, and they wanted to change them so that no one would be allowed to take advantage of them, so they decided to give a new interpretation to the rule, which was that the suspended manager was not allowed to have any form of contact with anyone in the team during the game.

This is indeed very domineering, but it can block this opening.

But the trouble is how to deal with the cunning Chinese, who almost gave UEFA a big problem.

Heavy fines, this is obviously unreliable, how much can it be? There is only one final left, and he is banned, how much more can it be?

Light punishment, this is obviously a bit unacceptable to UEFA itself, especially this group of officials who have always regarded the Champions League as their own ban is unacceptable, because Ye Qiu's actions are too slap in the face.

"Yakai, what do you think, how to punish it?" Joseph Luis Gayas asked.

"A one-year ban," Jacquet Atenning said.

"You're crazy," Jim Stellen Hansen slapped the table directly, "it's absolutely impossible."

"Why can't it be?" Jacquet Aantinn asked, glaring.

At this time, the secretary general Sievikin, who had been recording and did not speak, coughed and reminded: "I have to remind you that in general, unless there are particularly serious violations, such a severe fine will not be given, and the more famous long ban was Ferdinand's absence from the drug test, and AC Milan's boycott in the Champions League that year. ”

As soon as Sievigin said this, everyone present fell silent again.

It's not big or big, it's not small.

In the grand scheme of things, it's about tens of millions of euros in income and possibly a Champions League winner; To put it mildly, Chelsea's strength advantage is obvious, 0 wins, even if Ye Qiu does not command, Porto does not have many chips to advance, besides, there is no absolute evidence that Ye Qiu really commanded the game.

Just with a note written in Chinese, saying that Ye Qiu violated the rules and commanded the game? To disqualify Chelsea from the final? Are you going to ban Ye Qiu for a year? This is ridiculous to say

"I think so" Joseph Luis Gaias thought for a while and broke the silence, "an additional two-game ban and a fine of 10,000 euros, that's it, if you really want to impose a heavy penalty, we can't produce ironclad evidence, and he will definitely appeal at that time"

When he said this, Joseph Luis Gayas sighed secretly in his heart, this Ye Qiu is really a troublemaker, causing trouble everywhere, before he publicly refused to participate in UEFA's group stage draw and award ceremony, which has made UEFA feel a big disgrace, and now there is such a drama, sometimes think about it, it is better to really listen to Jacques, punish him for a year and a half, quiet

But if it is really punished like this, UEFA will definitely be in the whirlpool again, and many things are unknown to others, but as internal officials, where will they not know? It's just that everyone tacitly understands each other and doesn't say anything.

Of course, there are not many thorns in European football now, so UEFA can easily deal with it, but once it really encounters a thorn, UEFA really doesn't have much to do, just like meeting Ye Qiu this time.

"That's too cheap for him, isn't it?" Jacques Anternin was a little unwilling, but he didn't object.

Joseph Luis Gayas made a direct decision, and the matter was settled, and they immediately made a resolution, which was then handed over to Sijevikin, who immediately went to the presidents, Johansson and Olsen, who had also taken care of the matter before, and had to inform them as usual before it was announced to the public.

When UEFA press officer William Gaillard announced the punishment of Ye Qiu at a press conference at noon, the reaction of the media at the scene was relatively calm, because the fine was actually not serious.

Considering the wealthy Chelsea and the strong strength of the Blues, this fine has no impact on Ye Qiu, at best, he can't command the first two group games of the next season, but with Chelsea's strength, there is no problem with group promotion, so the impact is minimal.

Because of this, after receiving the fine from UEFA, Chelsea did not appeal to UEFA's punishment, and Ye Qiu also publicly stated that he would not appeal again, after all, even if he gets cheap, the most afraid of being a person is to get cheap and sell well, such a person is too much.

With the Premier League coming to an end, Chelsea are starting to focus all their energy on the two finals.

The FA Cup final on the afternoon of May and the Champions League final on the evening of May 25, the former at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and the latter in Istanbul, Turkey, are only three days apart, which is also very bad for Chelsea, especially in recent times, when Chelsea have suffered a lot of injuries.

On the contrary, as the opponent of the final, Liverpool has 10 days to prepare from the Premier League to the Champions League final, and I believe that Benitez will make good use of these 10 days to practice the tactical play against Chelsea in the Champions League final.

The most important thing is Ye Qiu, he will not be able to command this final, which is also regarded by everyone as an important factor in Chelsea's chances of winning, because without Ye Qiu's on-the-spot command, it will undoubtedly be very dangerous for Chelsea to encounter a master tactician like Benitez.

For Ye Qiu, the Champions League final is secondary, and his top priority now is the upcoming FA Cup final.

This year's FA Cup competition is not fierce, Manchester United and Arsenal are trying their best to get this trophy, and Arsenal has reached the bottom, Wenger is also bound to win this trophy, and made it clear in the pre-match press conference that Arsenal has only one idea in Cardiff, that is, to win the championship

Although Arsene Wenger himself is reluctant to admit it, the FA Cup has become Arsenal's only fig leaf with Chelsea already winning both the league and the League Cup, so the Gunners are also aiming for this game.

"I'm not going to think about the past record of our two teams, it doesn't make a difference for this game, we are thinking about trying to focus all our energy on the game and for my players we only want the title"

Wenger also congratulated Chelsea on winning the Premier League title, but said that Chelsea's success is unrepeatable by outsiders, "I don't deny the strength of Chelsea now, and even I think that under the leadership of Ye Qiu, this team has the ability to reach the status and influence of the Manchester United dynasty under Alex Ferguson in the nineties of the last century." ”

"But relatively speaking, I appreciate and admire Ferguson more, because Manchester United at that time still relied more on their own youth training and ! Chelsea, but now Chelsea is a team anesthetized by money, and they can only ensure that their performance on the pitch continues to climb by increasing their transfer investment. ”

'A lot of people ask me why I need to cut back on spending and help the team build a new stadium, I studied economics myself, so I know very well that Chelsea's finances that rely on massive blood transfusions are like drugs, you can't stop, and when you stop, it's easy to have problems, but the problem is that the money that keeps being invested is not earned by the club itself, they don't have the ability to do that."

'I'm never going to make my team like Chelsea, I'm going to respect Manchester United, I'm going to respect Liverpool, who have a long history and will come back to glory one day, but I'm not going to respect Chelsea'

Ye Qiu also countered the provocation from Arsene Wenger in his pre-match press conference, saying that he did not respect Arsenal at all, because this is a team that lacks courage and tenacity.

"You know, I've always been very disgusted with lethal tactics like Jose Mourinho's at Porto, but I'm also disgusted with Arsene Wenger's weak tactics, because I don't think any good professional player is afraid to fight each other, they have to adapt to some rough play."

'Of course, the roughness here refers to the level of technical and tactical level, not the lethal tactics aimed at hurting and intimidating the opposition, but for a long time in the past Wenger has always been making excuses for himself, saying that his team is often infringed, but statistically it is clearly not as frequent as ours, but we rarely complain about that.

According to the official statistics of the Premier League, the team with the most violations is Chelsea, among them, Ronaldinho is the player who has been violated the most, followed by Drogba, then Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Arsenal's Reyes is ranked fourth, and it is obviously not very high.

'I never make excuses for losing, in my opinion, if you lose, you lose, you should find the reason for it from yourself and not blame it on the opponent, so it will make us give our best every game and be braver, because no one wants to accept losing.

Compared with the absence of many of Chelsea's main players due to injury, Arsenal only Gilberto Silva and Henry are absent, the reporter asked whether Ye Qiu will feel that Chelsea is inferior in strength, Ye Qiu denied it.

'Frankly, I can't tell if Thierry Henry and Gilberto Silva will actually be out until I see the Arsenal players starting, and of course it will affect Arsenal's quality a little bit if they do, but for us the result will be the same.

'We've been hit hard by injuries but my players and I are confident that we'll beat them at Cardiff and win our third title of the season

If Chelsea wins the FA Cup again, it will be a treble, which is unprecedented in the history of the Premier League, because Manchester United's treble was the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, and now Chelsea is the Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup, and the weight is definitely a little inferior to Manchester United's treble that year, but if you can win the Champions League again and make up the quadruple, it will be really unprecedented.

Because of this, the outside media is full of expectations for Chelsea, and Chelsea fans have frantically gathered in Cardiff, hoping to come to the scene to witness the team make history.

It is with this confidence that Ye Qiu confidently said that the team will definitely win in the final.

'We have a number of players who have been sidelined by injuries and it will inevitably affect the quality of the squad, but we have a group of equally good players who can fill the void in the squad and I have a lot of confidence that my players will beat Arsenal in the FA Cup final.

'We're not going to be conservative in the game because we have the same attitude towards every game, which is to try our best to attack the opponent and take the initiative in the game, and we will continue to do that in this game.'
