Volume 1 Chapter 260 Needle Tip to Mai Mang
It's opened, take a rest of your eyes, and it's not bad to listen to books!
Since the beginning of '04, Chelsea's training programme has been undergoing adjustments, and the squad has been constantly rotated.
Ye Qiu was very sure as early as the beginning of the season that his first season at the helm of Chelsea must be worthy of the investment, at least to ensure that he wins a weighty title, the Premier League or the Champions League, otherwise Chelsea will be a failure this season.
Judging from the current Chelsea lineup, Fabregas, Messi, Robert Hout and other young rookies are still difficult to use in the Premier League and the Champions League, Ye Qiu's idea is to arrange them to play in the League Cup and FA Cup, one to rotate the main team, and the other to give them exercise, while the Premier League and Champions League are substitutes.
All rotation systems have an axis, the stronger the team, the larger the squad, the bigger the axis, if Chelsea has two sets of excellent squads, Ye Qiu must put the league and all cup competitions into the plan.
However, at the beginning of the season, in order to ensure the team's run-in and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Ye Qiu did not form a huge lineup, but took the main lineup as the core, adding players such as Sun Jihai, Joe Cole, Parker and Van Persie to strengthen the team's bench depth.
Therefore, what Ye Qiu can ensure now is that the team will do its best in the league and the Champions League, and the League Cup and FA Cup are arranged for substitutes and rookies to play, so that the main squad can get a better rest.
And after entering 04 years, Ye Qiu began to adjust the physical fitness of the players, because whether it is from the information left by his predecessor Ranieri, or from Ye Qiu's understanding of the schedule, plus he bought Ferguson, Wenger and other Premier League coaches from the store of the godfather's cultivation system The experience and experience of the Premier League schedule are all told to him that the team's physical reserves must be adjusted in the month of l, otherwise it will be difficult for the team to stick to the next intensive schedule.
So, going into the month of l, Manchester United and Arsenal's performances have clearly fluctuated a lot, and so has Chelsea.
Just beat Leicester City, turned around 00 at home by Birmingham to draw, Manchester United was also away 0l lost to Wolves, lost Rio Ferdinand, coupled with the result of the imbalance in the midfield, is constantly affecting the results of the Red Devils, but Arsenal, Wenger's team beat Aston Villa 0 away, and the points behind were shortened to 4 points again.
It's also an interesting gap because throughout the season, Chelsea's lead has so far hovered between four points and a U-point, often just before Chelsea draw one game and then cut it down to four.
The same is true for Arsenal, the only two unbeaten teams in Europe so far, with both Arsenal and Chelsea in their ups and downs, both ensuring that they get points in every game, and interestingly, the gap between the two teams has never narrowed or widened.
After Arsene Wenger brought in left winger Reyes from Sevilla, the outside world linked Chelsea with superstars such as Robert Carlos and Ronaldo, but everyone knows that if you want to bring in these stars from Real Madrid, it is impossible to do so, how can Florentino release him?
So, it's more of a hype and pressure because Robert Carlos is currently facing a contract extension.
After playing the first round of the league, because of the League Cup in midweek and the FA Cup knockout round on the weekend, Ye Qiu trained a lot of the team after being forced to draw by Birmingham at home, and pulled a physical reserve, and at the same time he also decided to continue to arrange youth players to play in the FA Cup to ensure that the first-team players have up to two weeks of physical reserve.
In October, Chelsea hosted Bolton Wanderers, the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals, and Ye Qiu arranged substitutes and youth team players to play, and defeated Bolton Wanderers 0 at home thanks to Gudjohnsen's goal.
On 24 July, the team took on Scarbrauf away, and Chelsea played with all the youth team players, and finally beat the amateur side 0 away thanks to Robin van Persie's goal, and although the game was not satisfactory, they still qualified.
The team's last-16 knockout game against Premier League side Fulham was a tough battle for Chelsea.
However, in the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals in midweek, although Ye Qiu arranged a number of substitutes including Joe Cole, Ribery and Gallas, he still lost to the tenacious Bolton 3 away, and was finally eliminated by Bolton in the League Cup in two legs and stopped in the semi-finals.
Although Chelsea failed to reach the final, the performances of the substitutes and youth youngsters in the Carabao Cup won everyone's praise for the depth of the Blues' bench as they faced Bolton Wanderers, who were playing at their best.
This is also the practice of many teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, because in the face of strong teams competing in the league, they simply cannot qualify for European competitions, so they fight for European qualification through cup competitions that are not valued by strong teams, so many times, they have to play cup games more than the league.
However, the elimination from the Carabao Cup obviously did not affect Chelsea's overall strength, as Chelsea thrashed Blackburn Rovers with an almost astonishing 0 away to Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League game on 3 October.
Souness vowed before the game to avenge the early season at home, but in this game, he had to collapse to find that Chelsea were far more powerful than he imagined, and his team could not stop Chelsea's indiscriminate bombardment.
Because Ivory Coast failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations finals, Drogba, who did not need to return to the home court, performed brilliantly in this game, Davies, who returned to the main squad after returning from injury, also strengthened Chelsea's midfield, and the Chelsea stars, who were in good shape after a two-week break, finally directed a complete and perfect victory.
The performance that made Ye Qiu the happiest in this game was not Frank Lampard, who scored twice, nor Ronaldinho, who passed one or two times, but Davies, the Dutch boar.
Chelsea's start was actually very passive, Souness's Blackburn Rovers have always been known for their aggression, and they played at home, and they encountered a referee with a soft whistle, so Blackburn was ready to give Chelsea a slap in the face as soon as they came up and took the initiative.
Davies kept appearing at the front of the defensive line in the passive situation of the team, protecting the defense with Makelelele, and gradually stabilized the situation, and in the first minute, when the opponent's central midfielder got the ball, he directly tackled and dribbled the ball out of the chaotic midfield.
What counter-attack would be faster and more threatening than taking the ball forward as soon as you break it?
Davies disrupted Blackburn's defence with the ball, but the Dutchman showed his experienced and clever side when he drew out defenders and after Drogbara had opened a gap, he slotted a through ball behind the Blackburn defence, and Lampard cut in to hit it low.
This goal not only broke the deadlock on the field, but also turned the situation around Chelsea, and sounded the clarion call for Chelsea's counterattack, laying the foundation for the next continuous goals, and Davies's performance was also highly praised by Ye Qiu, he made an exception in the post-match press conference to praise Davies, thinking that the Dutchman's performance after returning from injury was impressive, and he was a vital member of the team's midfield.
Of course, Ye Qiu did not forget to praise the other players in the team, and he firmly believed that as long as the team continued to play according to the current situation, it would definitely be rewarded by the end of the season.
A week later, back at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea beat Charlton Athletic 0 thanks to Ronaldinho's personal skill to create a penalty for a foul in Charlton's box, which the Brazilian himself converted.
It was also surprising to many, given that Chelsea beat Blackburn Rovers a week ago, but a week later they were in a terrible performance against Charlton Athletic, especially as the team's attack seemed to lose its ability to score all of a sudden, which was puzzling.
But Ye Qiu said that he was not worried about this at all, because this was the result of ups and downs and adjustments in his state.
In midweek, Chelsea away to Portsmouth, the main defender Makelele was injured in pre-match training and missed the game, Ye Qiu arranged for Parker to start in place of Makelele, and the midfielder did not live up to Ye Qiu's expectations, taking advantage of a chance to cut back in the attack in the 17th minute to score the opening goal for Chelsea.
Parker and Makelele belong to two different types of backs, although the Englishman has a very good defensive ability, a large range of running, and is also very active in scrambling, but his longitudinal advancement ability is very strong, and the back insertion attack is also very distinctive.
Because of this, Ye Qiu kept reminding his back on the sidelines to pay attention to leaving one person on the sidelines, but the strange thing is that Davis and Parker, who are defensive types, often lose their positions, but Deco frequently returns to the back to protect.
This also made Ye Qiu feel funny and helpless, Deco is a really low-key player, but he is a vital member of the Chelsea team, if he is not in the midfield, I really don't know what this game will be like.
Didier Drogba added another goal in the second half as the team beat Portsmouth 0 away.
It was also this round that Manchester United, which had been clinging to Chelsea and Arsenal, finally began to fall behind.
Although Manchester United brought in Saha to alleviate the problem of ball progress in midfield to a certain extent, Rio Ferdinand's absence still had an impact on the Red Devils, and they have now clearly begun to fall behind, with a three-way home defeat to Middlesbrough in this round, and interestingly, all three goals were high.
After playing the first round of the Premier League, the national team was ushered in, but Chelsea still had to play an FA Cup last-16 knockout game against Fulham, but because the internationals were unable to play, Chelsea arranged for the rookies to play again, and finally lost 0 to Fulham and stopped in the round of 16.
At the end of two weeks of international fixtures, Chelsea host title rivals Arsenal
Standing in the office on the second floor of the Harrington training base, looking at the cloudy London sky, Ye Qiu's mood was the same as the current weather in London, yin was gloomy
Meeting Arsenal at such a time is definitely not what Ye Qiu wants to see, because the timing is very unfavorable for him.
First of all, just after the national team competition, Chelsea players are running back and forth, and their state must be affected, yes, Arsenal has also been affected, but the problem is that what Ye Qiu wants is not a draw, but to solve Arsenal.
With a win over Arsenal, the lead could be extended to seven points.
It is important to know that Chelsea's lead this season has been hovering between four points and U-points, and more importantly, Chelsea and Arsenal are the only two unbeaten teams in Europe at the moment, and it would be a terrible blow to the Gunners' morale to beat Arsenal in such a game.
The lead was extended to seven points, morale was weakened, and it will be difficult for Arsenal to regain that momentum.
Manchester United has now clearly fallen out of the title race, and the rest is the battle between Chelsea and Arsenal, if they can take advantage of this game and kill two birds with one stone, then Chelsea will be much easier in the next fixtures, at least Ye Qiu's pressure will not be so great.
But the problem is that this is just Ye Qiu's own idea, and Arsenal obviously has the same idea.
4 points behind Chelsea, if they win away, it will be shortened to L points, and they have lost their unbeaten record, and Chelsea's morale is very weak, which will be a huge test for Chelsea, who have just reorganized this season and then remained unbeaten in one go, and may even collapse directly.
Wenger's calculation is also very clear, and he also wants to kill two birds with one stone, so from the perspective of the strategic purpose of competing for the championship, neither side wants to lose, and no one can afford to lose.
Judging from the current cards of the two sides, Chelsea and Arsenal are evenly matched.
Don't look at Chelsea's squad with European stars such as Ronaldinho, Deco and Cannavaro, but Arsenal also have the likes of Pire, Patrick Vieira and Campbell, and with the tacit understanding they have accumulated over the years, they can keep up with Chelsea's quality.
Chelsea can crush Manchester United, that is because Ye Qiu anticipated Manchester United's dead holes and weaknesses, but the current Arsenal has almost no obvious flaws, with Ashley Cole, Pire and Henry on the left, Lauren and Ljungberg on the right, plus Campbell, Toure, Gilberto Silva, Vieira and Bergkamp, Arsenal's strength is very balanced.
The only weakness is goalkeeper Lehmann, the German goalkeeper has not been consistent this season, and is a landmine in the Arsenal backline, but the problem is that the goalkeeper's flaws are purely a matter of luck, who knows when he will be exposed?
Furthermore, Claude Makelle missed the national team and focused on recuperating from his injury, and now he is back from injury, but whether he can adjust his condition is still unknown, and if Makelele is not in charge, who will limit the retreating Bergkamp?
You know, the Dutch ice prince is very important in the current Arsenal attack, his running is very smart, and his awareness is a must, if there is no solid midfielder to limit Bergkamp, how can he limit Arsenal's attack?
Don't worry about the right side, Lampard, Deco and McCone can all suppress Arsenal's left attack on this side, Evra on the left side is not in very good shape, Gallas can play, although the Frenchman said to Ye Qiu that he is unwilling to play left-back, but he did not resist, after all, the team's main central defenders are Cannavaro and Terry.
Davies fights Vieira, Drogba suppresses the opponent's two central defenders, if Ye Qiu is not mistaken, Wenger will definitely let Vieira and Gilberto Silva limit Ronaldinho and Lampard, the reason is very simple, Ye Qiu is worried about Arsenal's attack, Wenger is not worried about Chelsea's attack?
On the contrary, Chelsea has scored 3 more goals than Arsenal and conceded fewer goals, so Ye Qiu is making defensive arrangements for Arsenal, and Wenger is also making defensive arrangements for Chelsea's offense.
"It's really a needle-to-wheat tragedy," Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled helplessly.
If this game is postponed for a week, Ye Qiu will have more options, because he can better adjust the physical fitness and state of the players, but now he obviously has no choice, so he can only seek stability.
The home team does not seek to win the opponent, this is indeed not Ye Qiu's style, and it also makes Ye Qiu feel a little depressed, but sometimes, for the sake of results, you just have to make such a choice, Ye Qiu is not stubborn about this at all, because he does not want to be fired.
Just as Ye Qiu was thinking, Peter Kenyon made a phone call.
"The plane that has been arranged to pick up Ronaldinho and McCone in Brazil has already arrived, and we have also arranged for people to pick up Drogba, and I believe that we will be able to arrive in London tomorrow" Peter Kenyon is still very efficient, not at all like the British.
This is also arranged by Ye Qiu, because if the players return to London slowly, they will not be able to train again before the game, but the club will pick them up and drop them off, and there will be adjustments for a total of two days, including the day of the game.
"I'm sorry for you, Peter," Ye Qiu said politely.
Peter Kenyon smiled on the phone, "It's nothing, it's just my duty, it's you, be careful Arsenal, Wenger, this old fox is even Ferguson's headache, you have to be careful of him"
Ferguson and Wenger have been fighting in the Premier League for many years, although Ferguson has the advantage of results, but everyone knows that he has not many ways to take Wenger, who can be said to be Ferguson's old enemy.
"He's an old fox, I'm not stupid, no matter what, we'll definitely be the best winners," Ye Qiu said confidently.
"Then you prepare well, we are waiting to see your performance, I wish you a successful start" Peter Kenyon hung up the phone with a smile, and Ye Qiu here was a little relieved.
In any case, the game hasn't started yet, no one knows the outcome, and besides, just because you play well doesn't mean you can't beat Arsenal, does it?
