The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 236 The Tragedy of the Rebel
When Ye Qiu appeared outside the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco, there was a burst of cheers from the fans.

This season has just joined Chelsea in the Premier League. At the beginning of the season, he played the best four-game winning streak in Chelsea's history, which shocked the entire English football world and made the whole world feel his excellent coaching ability.

Although many people admit that Chelsea's dominance comes from the strength of the players as the basis, but as Martin Samuel of The Times said, "We should not forget that it was Ye Qiu who brought Chelsea this batch of players. The player, and he, is what makes this team such a strong unit."

After all, the four major leagues are the four major leagues, and their influence is completely different from when he was in the Eredivisie. Ye Qiu's current popularity and influence have already followed this summer's wedding, the competition between the giants, and the following Later, Chelsea's ups and downs in the transfer market made him completely step into the ranks of European coaches.

Even if there are still people who question him, it is because he has risen too fast.

From his debut to the present, it has only been more than 4 years, but he has faintly entered the ranks of European coaches. It is indeed fast, especially considering that he is only 28 years old even now, which is too young.

But the current fans don't care about you, the most important thing for them is novelty, isn't it good to be young?There is only such a number one character in the world. For fans who like Ye Qiu, what they like is a unique character, which is great!
Ye Qiu kept dealing with the enthusiastic fans, and walked into the Grimaldi Conference Center, where 32 European football teams participating in the UEFA Champions League group stage and 128 teams participating in the UEFA Cup first knockout round had already gathered here. The head coach and the club's management, the entire venue was crowded with people, and it was very lively.

Although Ye Qiu has risen rapidly in Europe in the past few years, when it comes to influence and interpersonal relationships, he is far inferior to old foxes like Ferguson and the others. So as soon as he walked into the venue, he immediately looked around, thinking that he should look for acquaintances .

After finally seeing Van Basten in the crowd, Ye Qiu planned to have a good talk with him about Marcelo and Thiago Silva, the two Brazilian defenders in Ajax. Eliza bought out the ownership of the two of them, so he naturally had to talk to Van Basten, otherwise Eliza would definitely trouble Ye Qiu if he lost money.

"Ye Qiu, here!"

Just when Ye Qiu was about to go to look for Van Basten, he heard someone calling him not far away, and it was Ferguson who raised his hand and called.

Ye Qiu frowned, why did this old guy ask him for no reason?And not just Ferguson, Wenger and Newcastle's Bobby Robson, Liverpool's Houllier, Blackburn's Souness and Manchester City's Keegan are all there.

This is the meeting of all the Premier League head coaches participating in the draw ceremony this season. Ye Qiu instinctively sensed that something must have happened.

When walking past, Ye Qiu also felt that this group of guys looked at him differently, with envy, jealousy and hatred. For example, Ferguson was robbed of Ronaldinho by Ye Qiu, and now he is very angry. Little ones, like Souness, who was massacred by Ye Qiu just now, can't wait to kill him now.

As for the neighbor Wenger, Ye Qiu had a premonition that he would soon have the urge to stab himself to death.

"They're all here!" Ye Qiu smiled lightly, as if they were saying hello together.

Ferguson and Wenger are vaguely the bosses of all the Premier League head coaches. This also has something to do with the fact that they have the deepest experience and that the team they are in is the strongest and most influential. The other is Bobby Robson , He is also a veteran, but unfortunately, Newcastle finally suppressed Liverpool and qualified for the Champions League, but failed to pass the qualifiers. Sometimes it makes people feel sad to think about it.

"We want to take this opportunity to discuss one matter. If everyone has no opinion, then I will initiate it and send an appeal and application to the Premier League, the Football Association and the Ministry of Labor." Ferguson took the lead without hesitation boss.

This old guy likes to seize the first opportunity in everything, but it is undeniable that Wenger really can't compete with him on this matter.

"I think the current labor certification regulations are too strict, which is not good for us, because the current football environment will pay more and more attention to youth training players, and the signs of internationalization are becoming more and more obvious, but the existence of labor certification has become a problem for us. Maximum restriction and restraint."

When Ferguson was talking, Ye Qiu immediately understood that this was an application for a special talent clause!

He also heard about this in his previous life. At that time, everyone said that after Ferguson failed to introduce Ronaldinho, Maicon, Kaka and other players, he directly bombarded the Football Association and the Ministry of Labor, thinking that it was the damn labor certificate. As a result, the Premier League team lost Ronaldinho, Maicon and Kaka, which restricted the development of the Premier League, and finally the special genius clause was born.

The so-called special talent clause is very serious. A Premier League team only allows one place a year, and whether it can pass the hearing depends on the team's public relations level and the prestige of the head coach. It's not any of you. If he is said to be a genius, the gang of gentlemen will admit that he is a genius, and he must be heard.

But for strong teams, there is basically no problem. For example, Wenger, almost one every year, is based on the special talent clause.

This also reminded Ye Qiu of what he had heard in his previous life. Some Premier League teams wanted to introduce domestic players, but they were restricted by their labor permits. To put it bluntly, they still didn’t pay enough attention to you. If they did, they would use special talents for you. terms.

Just like Denilson Jr., this Brazilian midfielder has never played any games in China, but Wenger took a fancy to him and brought him directly to the Premier League without a work permit?Go straight to the special genius clause, use your connections, go around with public relations, and pass it straight away, which is outrageously smooth.

Of course, this is a giant, and the middle and lower teams will be relatively more difficult, but if you really pay attention, it is still possible.

Generally speaking, Ye Qiu felt that having such a clause was indeed a good thing, and he could use it.

"What do you think?" Ferguson asked Ye Qiu.

He has obviously communicated with Wenger. These two guys are definitely not as bad as the outside world said. At least they are both Premier League giants, and they still have a lot in common. Many things need to be communicated and coordinated. And Ferguson asked Ye Qiu's opinion at this moment, which obviously recognized the status of Ye Qiu and Chelsea in the Premier League.

Anyway, they have won four consecutive victories, ranked first in the standings, and just won the Champions League, so they are in the limelight.

"I completely agree, but I think it will be very troublesome if the labor certification is required to be amended. It is better to call on them to establish a special talent clause, allowing us to absorb players with excellent potential from outside who have not yet proven their strength to join." Ye Qiu suggested according to the memory of his previous life.

The issue of labor certification involves a wide range of issues, not only football and the Football Association, but may even affect the British government. Maybe there will be even bigger troubles at that time. This is impossible. It is better to be realistic and achieve the goal. Close hand.

"Special talent clause?" Ferguson and Wenger were both moved when they heard that.

Ye Qiu explained the terms based on his memories from his previous life, and then introduced the process, such as hearings and the like.

"This is very possible!" Bobby Robson nodded in agreement.

To be honest, before everyone said that they wanted to revise their labor certificates, they didn't know what to do, but it was just to make their own voices, to make a fuss, and to prove that crying and fussy children have milk to eat, but now if they really follow Ye According to Qiu, the possibility of success is very high.

Furthermore, the Premier League teams now attach importance to youth training, and the players they bring in are gradually getting younger. There are so many players in the lower age group that are brought in every year. Giving one place a year can also ensure that the team will not be wasted casually, and the cost of bringing in players will be guaranteed. potential and talent.

"Okay, if everyone has no objections, then we'll make a deal!" Ferguson was also a straightforward person.

After the negotiation was settled, everyone dispersed immediately.

Almost every time these people meet, they are rivals. With you but without me, who would really have a heart-to-heart relationship with each other?

Originally, Ye Qiu wanted to talk to Van Basten, but after the meeting ended, the lottery ceremony began.

…………

…………

As in previous years, the Champions League group stage draw, the UEFA Cup knockout draw, and UEFA's annual awards are all drawn tonight. As Chelsea, whose results have been steadily at the forefront of the Premier League in recent years, UEFA's points ranking is not bad, and it is placed in the second tier.

Even though Ye Qiu just won a Champions League last year, he did not hide his covetousness for the Champions League, because he had already tasted the sweetness of winning a Champions League, which almost made his influence soar like a rocket. .

Not much else to say, just looking at those sponsors who came after his name is enough for Ye Qiu to get an incomparably rich sponsorship income every year, and he usually doesn't have to do anything at all, he just needs to put his name on it. It's enough to authorize it, and it's really a lot of money.

However, it is hard to say if you want to win the Champions League at any time. The right time, place and people are indispensable, and you need a little luck.

The teams in Pot [-] are Real Madrid, AC Milan, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Ajax, Juventus and Lazio. It is a bit surprising, the strength of the latter has been obviously not as strong as the beginning of the century in recent years, and this summer he left Stam, his strength has been weakened even more, and he is regarded as the most powerful in the first tier weak team.

And Ye Qiu's luck was undoubtedly very good, because Chelsea, who was in the second tier, was directly drawn in front of Lazio.

This made the guy who took advantage of it grin from ear to ear, making no secret of his satisfaction with the lottery.

The team in the third tier is Sparta Prague, which directly avoided Marseille, Celtic, Eindhoven and other teams that are not weak; while the fourth tier avoided Stuttgart, Royal Societies, Monaco and other teams drew Besiktas. Such a good draw really made Ye Qiu dream.

"It's really so cheap to us?" Ye Qiu asked himself in his heart.

Judging from the cards, Chelsea is undoubtedly the strongest team in this group. Unless Ye Qiu capsizes in the gutter, otherwise, qualifying from the group is almost a certainty.

The strength of Sparta Prague and Besiktas is not enough to shake Chelsea, and Lazio's strength has weakened greatly in the past two years. Compared with Chelsea, which is strong and strong, it is undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage, so Chelsea's The group first was almost booked.

Of course, this is only from the face of the cards. The game is very complicated and you must not be careless, but this draw is indeed the luckiest draw in all groups, so everyone shouted that Chelsea was lucky.

Ye Qiu was really flattered by this, but soon calmed down. Anyway, the lottery has already been drawn, and there is no way to change it. What is the situation, we will talk about it when we encounter it.

After the draw ceremony, the next thing is UEFA's best selection of the year.

This award has always been the taboo of the major giants. Even if Ajax won the Champions League last year, there is still no way to change this situation. The biggest winners are still the group of giants.

The best striker of the year was given to Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy. He scored 12 goals in the Champions League last year and became the top scorer in the Champions League. He also won this year's European best striker award. Even if Manchester United does not have much persuasiveness in the Champions League, Van Nistelrooy's strength is still worthy of recognition.

The best midfielder of the year was given to Nedved of Juventus. This is also expected. The performance of the Czech last season was very eye-catching. Whether in the Champions League or in the club, his strength is very good. It can be said that he The most peak year.

Some people may question that Manchester United and Juventus did not reach the final of the Champions League. It is unreasonable for the players to win the award, but in fact, the performance of Real Madrid players in the two teams that reached the final is generally not very eye-catching, especially in that final , Very points deducted, coupled with the team's strong offense and weak defense, it always gives people a feeling of not being stable enough.

The biggest obstacle for Ajax is that the team is full of small-name stars, and there are no big-name players. Usually, those who receive these awards are basically big-name players. UEFA rarely awards these awards to stars who are not well-known. This is Ajax's biggest weakness, and in the end, Ajax only won a fair play award.

The best defender of the year is Roberto Carlos of Real Madrid, which is also very controversial, because the performance of the Brazilian left-back last year was not satisfactory, but he won this award consecutively, which is indeed somewhat objectionable.

The best goalkeeper of the year is Iker Casillas of Real Madrid, but the most valuable player in Europe is given to Buffon of Juventus. The captain of AC Milan, Maldini, won the lifetime achievement award and moved to Bayern Munich. Ma Kai won the European Golden Boot, but Ma Kai's limelight still has to be inferior to Ruud van Nistelrooy, which can be said to be bright for a while.

The competition for the best coach of the year is also fierce. Ye Qiu, Del Bosque, Mourinho, Ancelotti and Lippi are all popular candidates.

As far as Ye Qiu is concerned, the most conspicuous achievement is the triple crown of European Champions Cup, Eredivisie League and Dutch Cup. Moreover, Ajax's championship was not blown out, they defeated a team along the way. The giant team has reached the end, and there are even media rumors that UEFA's plan to kill Ajax has failed.

The results are enough, but the problem is that Ye Qiu, the spoiler, doesn't seem to be pleased by the awards.

Mourinho's results are also very good, the UEFA Cup champion, Portugal's double crown, is also a triple crown, but Mourinho's weight is obviously inferior to Ye Qiu, how does the UEFA Cup compare with the European Champions Cup?
Bosque and Lippi's voices are not small, but Ancelotti, empty-handed, but AC Milan's performance is indeed good. From this point of view, it seems that Ye Qiu is more likely to win the award, because according to The principle of watching the Champions League in odd-numbered years is indeed that Ye Qiu should take it.

But in the end, this award was given to Jose Mourinho, who won the UEFA Cup. This not only surprised and disappointed Ye Qiu, but also caused an uproar in the audience. No one thought that it would be To Mourinho.

The only thing that Mourinho can win now is the UEFA Cup, but the problem is that when Ye Qiu won the UEFA Cup, the best coach of the year was awarded to the European Champions Cup champion Heathfield, but now the situation is different. It is the other way around, the same odd-numbered year, the same UEFA Cup and Champions Cup, but UEFA gave the best coach of the year to the winner of the UEFA Cup.

There are indeed many places worth pondering here!
When Ye Qiu heard the host call out Mourinho's name, he smiled wryly, because he felt that the good signing just now might be the carrot thrown out by UEFA, let you taste it first Sweetness, and now I will give you a blow to the head to let you understand what is called rules.

As the makers, executors and arbitrators of the rules, they can play however they like. Who can say no?
For a long time, Ye Qiu has been relatively lenient about whether he will get the award or not, but it would be too hypocritical to say that he doesn't want to get the award. He wants to get it, so now he should get it, but in the end he can't get it. Naturally, he was not happy, and his face was a little gloomy.

As a result, after the awards ceremony, Ye Qiu left the conference center directly, and did not follow the usual practice to accept interviews from those reporters. He is not in a very good mood now, and he doesn't like being pestered by reporters.

It's very simple, the gang of gossips must be asking him about the award now, isn't this pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man?

Ye Qiu didn't have the tendency to masochistically find himself unhappy, so he left the conference center directly.

Fortunately, when he returned to London overnight from Monaco, Eliza Moon finally brought him the two people he had always wanted to meet.

After Eliza showed them around the Stamford Bridge Stadium, Ye Qiu met the two at the Harrington training base and had a round of in-depth conversations in the office.
