The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 231 I am the boss
As players such as Glenciel, Hasselbaink, Pettit, Desailly, and Zola left Stamford Bridge one after another, the remaining few people obviously felt a wave of panic. , they will inevitably be a little worried.

Who will be the next to leave?

Ye Qiu has already made full preparations on this point. He successively gave Terry, Lampard, Gallas, Cudicini, Gudjohnsen, Hasselbaink, Robert Huth, etc. Call people and have some simple communication with them.

That is, in this phone call, Hasselbaink asked Ye Qiu to promise to give him the main position, but Ye Qiu couldn't help it. In the end, the Dutchman decided to leave after negotiating with his agent, and Ye Qiu was also very straightforward. He didn't keep him, just let him go.

This incident fully demonstrated Ye Qiu's control and management of the team, and also made the players familiar with the inside story feel the authority of the head coach, that is, anyone can leave, just a word!

Landing at Stamford Bridge with the halo of Champions League champions, Ye Qiu has enough bargaining chips to hold back this group of stars.

Both Terry and Lampard ended their holidays early, returned to London, and attended the team's press conference announcing the joining of Makelele. The French star switched to Chelsea at a sky-high price of 2400 million euros. Big news in European and world football.

With the money from selling Makelele, Real Madrid is now attacking Arsenal's Vieira with all their strength, and strives to win the French midfielder superstar within two months, while Vieira, Henry, Ashley ?The three players of Cole have been arguing with the club over contract renewal and salary issues. It is uncertain whether they will leave or not.

The joining of Makelele, coupled with Deco, Edgar Davis, Scott Parker, Lampard felt a pressure, because he knew very well that these players had positional differences with him Competition, and they are all powerful factions, especially Makelele and Edgar Davis, who are well-known players in Europe.

Thinking of this, Lampard seemed a little depressed, not as happy as Terry.

The latter returned to London one day earlier than Lampard. He had already had a detailed discussion with Ye Qiu in Harrington yesterday. The latter not only promised him the highest weekly salary of 9 pounds in the Premier League, but also Hand over the captain's armband for the new season to him, and hope that he can lead by example and play the role of team captain.

"Don't worry so much, Frank, the head told me that you are in his plan, and it is very important!" Terry patted Lampard on the shoulder and comforted him. He is now the captain of the team and needs Lampard's support. assist.

Lampard nodded, but he couldn't hide the worry on his face, because since there are Makelele and Davis in the midfielder position, what do you need Lampard for?
At the press conference, Ye Qiu publicly stated that he is very satisfied with the team's current lineup, and that he was able to complete this series of transfer matters before the training camp. He is proud of the club's ability to operate, unless the transfer market Otherwise, Chelsea's transfer this summer will be closed.

This is also tantamount to a signal that Chelsea will use this lineup to attack the Premier League championship.

No one can deny that Chelsea has built a lineup after investing more than 1 million euros. Almost every player has proven their strength. The key lies in the tactics and combination ability of the head coach Ye Qiu.

And at this press conference, Ye Qiu also made no secret of his ambition for the Premier League title. He said that the team has invested so much, and there is only one goal, and that is the championship. He wants to hit the Premier League title and break Manchester United. And Arsenal's monopoly!
These words sound very exciting to Lampard, Terry and others. After all, every player hopes that he can play under a coach full of ambition and pursuit, not in a lifeless team. playing in the team.

Ye Qiu also noticed Lampard's appearance, so after the press conference, he walked towards him, greeted him, and went to Ye Qiu's office at Stamford Bridge.

This office is very simple and empty, with only a set of desks and chairs, a set of sofa and TV, and nothing else.

After walking in and turning on the central air conditioner, Ye Qiu asked Lampard to sit down wherever he wanted, and he sat down opposite Lampard.

"First of all, Frank, I have to say that you don't need to worry about your position in the new season. If you can, I hope you can play every game because of your role in this team. It's going to be huge!"

Ye Qiu likes to get straight to the point, and doesn't like those twists and turns, it's a waste of time.

Lampard didn't expect Ye Qiu to be so straightforward, but from Ye Qiu's tone, he could tell that the head coach wasn't fooling around.

"Perhaps you think that your position will be shaken by the team's introduction of Edgar Davis, Makelele, Scott Parker and other outstanding players. Then you are wrong. In my position, you , your position is no longer a defensive midfielder, but should be advanced!"

When he said this, Ye Qiu smiled, took out a stack of documents from the briefcase beside him, handed it to Lampard, and saw Lampard's data and photos on the cover of the document , the following is his game analysis for each season.

"I know you, and Terry, I have a very detailed report and information on every player left, left, and introduced by the team, and many people define you as omnipotent, in fact , you are really comprehensive, both defensively and offensively, but more importantly, you have the will of an England player."

When Ye Qiu said this, he smiled, "You know, I was contacted by teams from Spain, Italy and Germany this summer, but I ended up in England. Maybe you will think that Chelsea is more sincere and the salary is lower. Higher, but not only that, because if I didn't go to Chelsea, I might go to Tottenham!"

"Tottenham?" Lampard spoke for the first time, a little surprised.

"Yes, I remember, you almost went to Tottenham once, right?" Ye Qiu asked.

Lampard completely believed it, because almost everyone thought he made his debut from West Ham United, but in fact, he once wanted to go to Tottenham very much, because in the early 90s, Tottenham football was represented in England It is sexy and gorgeous, which is equivalent to the current Arsenal. Many people are eager to go to Tottenham, such as his good friend Jamie Redknapp.

"You know, I have always felt that football is not only about technology, not only about tactics, but also from the level of spirit and will. I even think that spirit and will are more important, because in a game, there is a long period of time. You're fighting against your own body here, you know what I mean?"

Lampard kept nodding, I believe all professional players understand, because with the exhaustion of physical fitness, you will find that your biggest enemy is not the person standing opposite you, but yourself.

"So I really like the environment in England that is full of the will to play. Of course, I am not belittling other leagues, but I think this is more suitable for me, so I came to England. In my opinion, you still have to play. With John Terry, who will be the backbone of our team and the spokesperson of our English football spirit at Chelsea!"

Hearing what Ye Qiu said, Lampard couldn't help but believe his words, because at least he knew English football.

"Of course, I also have to say that the current English football environment is not very good, because there are great deficiencies in terms of skills and tactics, such as the control of the rhythm of the game, the control of the ball, the spirit and The control of excitement, these must be well controlled, so that a team can achieve better results."

"So we have to make some changes, Ronaldinho, Deco and other new players come in to achieve this, and it's not enough for me to think like this, I need all of you to think like this, because we are A whole!"

Lampard nodded heavily again after listening, "I see, head!"

Ye Qiu is satisfied with his attitude, "I have two main hopes for you. First, John will be the captain of the team, and you will be the vice-captain. I hope you can lead by example, play the role of captain well, and maintain Good order in the locker room, what I hope to see is a disciplined and team fighting force!"

After Lampard nodded, Ye Qiu continued: "Second, regarding you personally, I hope you can better integrate into the team's technical and tactical system. Regarding these, I will tell you in detail in the next training camp. Talk, but I can tell you very clearly that my requirements for you have changed, and I need you to be more forward!"

More forward, which is definitely a big temptation for Lampard, because who doesn't want to be more forward?
"Your duty will no longer be from the penalty area to the penalty area, because we have a very clear division of labor and cooperation, I will shorten your coverage and running range, but I hope you can focus more on the game, in possession of the ball, support, In terms of offense, defense and oppression, give full play to your strengths, your versatility!"

When it came to this point, Ye Qiu smiled and patted Lampard on the shoulder, "I have enough confidence that if every player keeps enough focus and goes all out, we can win the championship after the end of the season." everything!"

win everything? !

Lampard looked up, a longing he'd had but never had, or even hoped for.

But now, he really saw hope.

The arrival of Abramovich changed Chelsea's situation and injected more funds into the team, while the arrival of Ye Qiu brought the halo of the European Champions Cup and also introduced a group of players to the team. The outstanding star, coupled with his words, made Lampard see the hope of the championship for the first time in his heart.

"I promise, head!" Lampard stood up and promised solemnly.

…………

…………

Although the first game of the new Premier League season will be played on August 8, Chelsea's first game is away to Anfield to challenge Liverpool, which can be described as the highlight, but this is not Chelsea's first official game of the new season.

Because on August 8, Chelsea is going to play the third round of the European Champions Cup qualifiers. Only by winning this game can they advance to the official group stage, and this season's Champions League will only take one round of group matches. The new competition system.

Ye Qiu has no way of saying who the opponent will be in this game, and has to wait for the draw, but Chelsea's pre-season preparations have to be advanced because of this, so the team assembled on July 7th, and the whole team arrived in Kazakhstan. The Linton Training Base reported that after conducting a series of physical tests, holding an internal team meeting, and letting Ye Qiu meet with each player, they will fly to Austria.

This time Chelsea chose the training location not in the highlands of Austria, but in the small town of Irdning near Graz, which is about 700 meters above sea level. Because they chose to train here, firstly, the altitude will not be too high, and secondly, It is also convenient for the team to play warm-up matches, and it can also avoid external disturbances.

Whether the high-altitude training is good or bad is hard to say, because football is a team sport. The high altitude may be a good thing for one player and bring great help, but it may not be for another person, because the players are physically weak. All the same, someone might even have altitude sickness.

Because of this, Ye Qiu finally chose Yidening, because there is a well-equipped holiday house here, which gathers a series of sports equipment such as a hotel, a gym, and a swimming pool, as well as two high-standard full-size training grounds. , so some teams often choose to train here.

The altitude of Irdning is not high, and it has the effect of high-altitude training. There is no need to worry about the players' overreaction, and it is quiet. It is indeed an ideal training environment.

After careful testing, the team sent a test report to each player. Who was overweight, how much was overweight, and some physical injuries were clearly listed, so that all players They can understand their physical condition.

When Ye Qiu met the players for the first time, he directly stated his request.

"I like to pay attention to details. Many times, my attention to details may even be difficult for you to accept, but from now on, you should learn to accommodate me, otherwise, you will feel very uncomfortable, such as diet and daily life. Habit."

"My requirements in this regard have been clearly expressed through the locker room discipline manual, and I believe you can all understand that during the team training period, everyone eats together, and the recipes are determined by us. The same is true for the time, and for the work and rest time during the league in the future, I will require the day before the game, and you can figure out the rest!"

After a pause, Ye Qiu reminded again with a smile, "But there are two issues I want to remind everyone, no matter who they are, their weight and work and rest cannot meet the requirements, or it affects their game status, they will all sit on the bench! "

"I heard that in the past, after each training session of the team, players were free to accept interviews with reporters. From now on, I will re-adjust this rule. All reporters who want to interview players must first After the application is approved and approved by the coaching staff, 15 minutes will be allocated after each training session."

"Remember, guys, without an application, or if the time exceeds the limit, it is not allowed!"

This item is also included in the disciplinary manual, because Ye Qiu has a deep understanding of the development of the British media, and he also knows very well that the media cannot invade his team too much.

London is a decadent paradise in a colorful world. It couldn't be easier to change a person.

"There is also about the team. I like players with a sense of team responsibility. I don't deny that some players are indeed talented, but trouble you, remember to integrate your talent and performance into the team as a whole. In my team, there will be no one person who can surpass the whole and break away from the team, and it is impossible for me to let that kind of person who has no team and no sense of responsibility represent my team to play."

Integrity is the most typical sign of Ye Qiu coaching Ajax. Many people are amazed by the integrity of this team, and admire Ye Qiu's ability to blend so many players together and be inclusive.

But Ye Qiu himself knows very well that there cannot be a black sheep in a team. As long as one player's heart is loose, it will immediately spread to every player's heart like a cancer cell. It's hard to control anymore.

So Ye Qiu likes to put the words first, write those disciplines into the handbook, and let them all know their requirements.

"I also think that those players who focus on the game and try their best every minute and every second, even if their strength is weaker, even if their talent is weaker, it doesn't matter, because hard work can make them perform better. Excellent, a player like that should get more chances."

"In my team, all players are equal, no matter where you are from, no matter how much you are worth, no matter what you have achieved in the past, when you come to me, you are all just players, competing with each other. Players, there is no absolute distinction between the main force and the substitute, and there is no indispensable role, you are just players, that's all!"

"I have to remind you two things. First, in my team, I am the boss, and I have the final say!"

"Second, let me remind you again, I am the boss of the team, the only indispensable person!"

Ye Qiu expressed his attitude and position so strongly at the first internal team meeting, making everyone present feel his authority, so no matter what they do next, they must at least weigh whether they have enough strength. The weight to challenge the prestige of the head coach.

"Finally, what I want to say is that I know that many of you have many, many honors, and some people may even look down on me in their hearts, thinking that I am young and have won a Champions League. To me, how do you Look at me, I don't care, as long as you obey, I don't care, but I want to remind everyone sincerely, think about it, you came to Chelsea just to get a higher salary? Better treatment? Or, On this basis, what do you want to win and prove?"

"You all think about it carefully!"

In this way, Ye Qiu ended his first internal meeting at Chelsea, and after the meeting, I believe many players will be thinking about Ye Qiu's words in their minds.

Everyone is aggressive, whether they are big-name superstars or little-known little people, they will all have aggressiveness. When they come to Chelsea or the Premier League, they naturally want to win and prove something.
