Ye Qiu has always felt that there are two kinds of head coaches.

One is to consider the team's problems from the perspective of the club's interests, just like Arsene Wenger of Arsenal; The other is to think in the interests of the team, like Alex Ferguson.

It is believed that many Manchester United fans will be dissatisfied with Ferguson's support for the Glazer family to buy Manchester United, but Ye Qiu is not surprised that he did this, because Ferguson first thinks about the team itself, not the club.

If a team is compared to a sandwich cake, the manager is the cream in the middle of the two pies, the players and the management are two pieces of cake, both sides want to squeeze towards each other, and the manager is sandwiched in the center, so he can only withstand the pressure from both sides and keep each other in a state of balance.

He can't say which one Ye Qiu belongs to, but it is obvious that he has a clear distinction between the team and the management, so the conflict between him and Abramovich will not affect his coaching of the team, which is his work ethic.

As long as he is the manager of Chelsea one day, then he will try to lead this team well, do his best to win every game, and will not be like some managers, hoping to use the team as a weapon to blackmail the management and coerce the management to comply, which is not only a betrayal of his own work ethic, but also a betrayal of all the players who trust him.

Ye Qiu always remembered very clearly that Bobby Harms once told him that if you want to manage a team well, you have to treat your players sincerely, get to know them carefully, figure out what they want, and then guide them according to this and try to meet their needs.

In fact, this sentence can also be generalized, that is, as long as Ye Qiu understands what the club management wants, and he can bring what Abramovich wants, then his position will be very secure.

Of course, if one day, he feels that he can't do it, then he will choose to leave without hesitation.

That's why he always asked for a clause in his contract to be free to rescind

The turmoil of the Premier League black and gold case has had a little impact on Chelsea, but Ye Qiu has controlled the dressing room very well and has not been affected too much, after all, Pini Zahavi has never been able to reach into Chelsea's dressing room in the past year or so, so his accident has little impact on the dressing room.

On 8 October, Chelsea ushered in the FA Cup round of 64 knockout round, and the opponent was Scanthorpe from League Two, but the result was 3l to the third division team in England and successfully advanced to the next round.

In this game, Ye Qiu still used a large number of newcomers and substitutes, but Robert Hutter performed badly in the game, the German central defender who has been frequently involved with Bayern Munich recently is obviously not in good shape, and the goal conceded has something to do with him, but Ye Qiu is not harsh.

To be honest, Ye Qiu has always been very tolerant of the mistakes of young players.

Rather than Chelsea's easy victory, Manchester United were held to a 00-match draw at home by an amateur league team, much to the fury of the Red Devils fans at Old Trafford, who went straight to the game to boo their frustration with the team, believing that this was definitely not the performance of the Red Devils.

Many fans know very well that in the Premier League, if Manchester United wants to say goodbye to the embarrassment of not having a title, it can only make a difference in the cup, and the Champions League is a rare but unattainable one, and the FA Cup and League Cup have undoubtedly become the most important place for the team.

Ferguson was clearly on the same mind, clearly not giving it his all when he played the FA Cup, but four days later in the first leg of Chelsea's Carabao Cup semi-final he did his best to try to take advantage of home advantage over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.

Perhaps it was because of the feeling that the team has been under a lot of pressure recently, or perhaps because of the team's tactical targeting, Manchester United played a tough game, even brutal and unscrupulous.

Beep~~~

With a crisp whistle from the referee, the ball was ruled off the boundary line and was close to the United's penalty area

Drogba didn't earn this point just now, he looked a little depressed, and without waiting for his teammates to catch up, he rushed out of the boundary line and came to the billboard as soon as possible, wanting to send a throw-in as soon as possible and resume the game as soon as possible.

Recently, the outside media has begun to hype the news of Shevchenko's joining Chelsea again, and rumors about his lack of goals and unworthy of Chelsea have also appeared on the media pages, which has become the most eye-catching focus in addition to the black gold case.

Although a few days ago, Ye Qiu personally called him to the office and promised him in person that he was still Chelsea's central striker, and as long as he was still at Chelsea, no one would be able to shake Drogba's position, and this promise made Drogba feel reassured.

But he himself knows very well that when the head coach promised him, Ye Qiu himself was also under a lot of pressure, so Drogba kept telling himself that he must score more goals and work hard to score goals, so as to resolve suspicions and suspicions from the outside world.

It has to be said that the Ivorian is a bit naïve at this point, because he doesn't know what to do, even if he scores more goals than Shevchenko, the Ukrainian is still a superstar, and he Drogba will still be questioned.

Cristiano Ronaldo just rushed out of bounds in order to fight for the ball, failed to grab the ball, gave Chelsea a chance to get close to the penalty area, he was also very depressed, and directly kicked the ball out of the air, hit the billboard, and bounced back, and at this time Drogba ran over quickly, bent down to pick up the ball.

Cristiano Ronaldo saw that Drogba was about to pick up the ball, and the Chelsea players were already pressing quickly, so he immediately stepped out to pull the ball behind him and let Drogba save into the air.

This obviously provocative move annoyed the Ivorian a little, and after getting up from the ground, he pushed Cristiano Ronaldo to the ground with both hands, and the Portuguese was caught off guard, and he pushed it on his back, while the ball was picked up by Drogba and grabbed in his hands.

"Useless guy," Drogba scolded indignantly, turned and left.

But just as he turned around, Xiao Xiao Luo also got up from the ground, rushed over, and pushed Drogba in the back.

The Ivorians were not mentally prepared for this sneak attack, and were directly pushed to a stumbling point, almost falling headlong, and immediately turned around, glaring at Xiao Xiao Luo like an enraged tiger, and were about to rush forward.

At this moment, Fuqiong rushed into the middle of the two, and the South African player was abused by Drogba in this game, and at this moment he blocked in front of Xiao Xiaoluo, stretched out his hand and pushed Drogba again, "Hey, don't fucking be arrogant, this is Old Trafford, not you Stamford Bridge"

Drogba was on the fire, and was pushed again, and immediately became furious, went up to the nearest Fuqiong, slapped his hands away, and then reached forward with both hands, and directly grabbed his throat, "Fuck your Old Trafford"

Fortunately, at this moment, Frank Lampard, Ronaldinho and many other Chelsea players rushed up for the first time and pulled Drogba away, and Keane also broke Drogba's fingers for the first time.

It was only then that Fu Qiong, who was reborn, realized that not everyone was able to stand up for his teammates

The referee quickly ran over and immediately separated the players of the two teams who gathered together, and called Keane and Terry respectively, "You all go back and watch your teammates well, especially Manchester United" probably saw Keane to argue, the referee shook his head and said: "I see it very clearly, I don't need to argue, OK?" ”

Keane and Terry both nodded in agreement, and then the referee walked over and showed a yellow card to Drogba, Xiao Xiaoluo and Fuqiong respectively, and specially left Fuqiong, "I didn't give you a red card, it doesn't mean anything, I hope you can restrain your temper, and next time, I will give a red card"

Drogba and Xiao Luo are obviously excited, at this time anyone should be stopped, not to add fuel to the fire, if Fu Qiong rushed up to just block the two, or to separate the two, he would not get the card at all, but he obviously went up to push Drogba, which caused his foul.

However, it is obvious that Manchester United fans are not satisfied with the referee's decision at all, they feel that the referee deliberately favors the away team, so in a dead ball, the fans directly confiscated the game ball and refused to return it, and even when the Chelsea players went up to ask for the ball, the home team fans in the stands reported insults and boos, which really made people cry and laugh.

Ye Qiu kept signaling the players on the sidelines to be calm and not to be provoked by the opponent, and at the same time asked the team to add two more flanks to attack, which quickly opened up the situation for Chelsea.

Ronaldinho quickly dribbled inside from the left side after winning the ball, but Manchester United seemed to have been prepared for this, Keane was here to block him, but it was not so easy to cut off the Brazilian's ball, Ronaldinho saw Keane, and immediately chose to make an emergency stop and distribute the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Didier Drogba quickly pulled down the flank to receive the ball and then suddenly started to go down, breaking through Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand before crossing, Lampard cut in quickly and headed home from close range, neither Sylvester nor goalkeeper Howard could react, 0

After the goal, Frank Lampard and Chelsea's players rushed out of the United penalty area and ran around the stands at Old Trafford to cheer in return to the boos and invectives that the United fans had just given them.

"We scored and we saw clearly, we scored"

Drogba and other players rushed to the sidelines of the camera, poked the Chelsea badge on their chests, and shouted loudly, and this scene was also captured by the big screen at the scene, presented in front of Manchester United fans, and immediately caused a wave of boos and abuse from Red Devils fans.

But Chelsea was obviously unmoved, after taking a temporary lead of 0 in the first half, they fought back again at the beginning of the second half, among them, in the second half, Fu Qiong also had a malicious flying tackle Drogba, but luckily escaped the referee's punishment, so angry that Ye Qiu kept waving on the sidelines, protesting the referee's care for the Manchester United player who already had a yellow card.

If you follow Fuqiong's action, at least it will be a yellow card, that is, a red card.

However, Ye Qiu also felt that Ferguson was really playing with himself in this game, because Manchester United was hopeless in the league, and the opponent in the Champions League was AC Milan, and the possibility of winning the championship was not very likely, so they now want to compete for the League Cup and the FA Cup, especially the League Cup that has reached the semifinals.

What Ferguson didn't expect was that Ye Qiu was also determined to win the League Cup

Last season, because of the lack of bench thickness of the team, coupled with the newcomer, Ye Qiu had to shrink the front and strategically stay in the League Cup and FA Cup, but now that the Chelsea people are strong and the bench thickness is abundant, Ye Qiu naturally wants to fight on multiple fronts.

The competition between the two sides, in terms of strength, Manchester United is indeed inferior to Chelsea, but the Red Devils are playing at home, showing great tenacity, and the action is relatively large, but Chelsea is not bad, and it was aroused by Manchester United, and it was also followed by death.

The two sides lost their minds a little, became full of gunpowder, and the game was out of the manager's control.

Eventually, in the first minute, Didier Drogba beat Silvestre and Fortune in the box and headed McCann's cross into the United goal to give Chelsea another goal, 0

But not long after, United pulled one back, and Ryan Giggs' goal changed the score for United

Ye Qiu and Ferguson both obviously saw that it was not possible to continue like this, especially Ye Qiu, who immediately replaced Drogba with Gudjohnsen, then replaced Ronaldinho with Joe Cole, and replaced Rooney with Messi, completing the replacement of the offensive combination in the frontcourt.

Alex Ferguson also made the same substitutions, bringing on Fortune Qiong, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

After a series of substitutions, neither side was able to find the back of the net as Chelsea beat Manchester United away to win the first leg of the semi-final and lay the groundwork for the final.

But what is surprising is that at the press conference after the game, both Ferguson and Ye Qiu chose to treat the clashes in the game coldly, and they both attributed the clashes in the game to the clashes caused by too much pressure on the players, and the referee's decision was no problem and respected.

This also made the media who were expecting to see the two managers fight each other felt extremely disappointed.

But Ye Qiu and Ferguson have their own considerations, even if Chelsea are in good shape now, but the players have just experienced the Christmas devil schedule, and the games are so dense throughout the winter break, and the pressure on the players is very high, so it is useless to provoke such unnecessary disputes at this time.

Ferguson's team hasn't been in great form lately, and he doesn't want to get into trouble now, so it's better to be cold.

As it turned out, Ferguson and Ye Qiu made the right choice.

After the first leg of the Carabao Cup, the Premier League ushered in the first round.

Alex Ferguson took his Red Devils to Anfield to take on Rafael Benitez, only to see Manchester United beat Benitez's Liverpool 0 away to Rafael Benitez in recent times, with the exception of the defeat to Chelsea throughout the Christmas season, and they have all gone up the table.

Ye Qiu watched this game, but he was even more firm in his opinion of Liverpool, that is, Benitez's team is afraid of counterattack.

Or rather, there is no team that is not afraid of counter-attack, but the problem is that Liverpool's attack is not very good, and the problems in the advancement of the ball have caused the Reds' attack to be greatly limited.

Playing a strong team, they can use the long passes of Xavi Alonso and Gerrard to counterattack, plus the counterattack of strikers such as Pongele, Cisse and Baroshe, to cover up the problems and defects in the advancement of the ball to the greatest extent.

However, when playing a weak team, the problem of poor offense caused by broken ball advancement will be exposed by teams with excellent defense.

In this game, Manchester United was shrinking the defense, and as a result, Liverpool failed to win Manchester United throughout the game, and was finally attacked by Manchester United's counterattack, which has to be said to give Ye Qiu a great warning.

There is a saying that is very true, the clay pot is difficult to break from the well, and the general will inevitably die in battle.

The good swimmer drowned, and Liverpool's defeat was not only a warning to the Reds, but also to Chelsea.

Don't look at Chelsea's current prosperity, all fronts are going hand in hand, it's not good, but in fact, the scenery has covered up a lot of problems in the team, often the more in this situation, the more you need to keep a calm and rational, otherwise, once the problem is exposed, it may be a fatal injury.

Shortly after Manchester United's win over Liverpool, Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 0 away, with goals from Frank Lampard and Ronaldinho helping the Blues capture White Hart Lane as they equalled Arsenal's all-time best of 14 consecutive Premier League wins.

On the other hand, Arsenal lost 0l away to Bolton, although the Gunners still maintain the second place in the league, but the gap between them and Chelsea quickly widened to 14 points, and everyone knows that this is already an unlikely gap to catch.

Provided, of course, that Chelsea don't capsize in the gutter because of carelessness.

After playing Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu said in a high-profile interview with the media that the team will continue to work hard.

'I have made no secret of my desire to make a winning streak in the history of the Premier League, and I believe the players are too, we want to make history and we want the team to continue this winning streak and unbeaten streak.'

'A lot of people have said that our unbeaten season is a coincidence, and I won't argue with that, but now that we're on a 14-game winning streak, we're not just going to hit the all-time winning streak, we're going to hit Arsenal's record of 57 games as well.

'It's one of the goals I'm looking for, and it's one of the things that all our Chelsea players are looking for'
