The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 238 Gemini

Morning, overcast, West London 6, West Drayton.

West Drayton is already out of the center of London, west of the Thames River, north of Heathrow Airport, less than two kilometers away from Chelsea's Harrington training base, and it is very convenient to come and go.

Because it is far away from the city center, the houses here are generally single-family, double-layer red brick and tile houses, a typical British style, a bit old, because the people who live in this area are generally middle-class people who cannot enjoy themselves. They can't spend money to build a luxury villa for themselves like those rich people.

"Morning, landlady!" When Fabregas walked out of the room, he happened to see the landlady preparing breakfast.

"Morning, Cesc!" The landlady is a fat middle-aged woman, but she treats people very friendly, and stuffed a large ball of toast into his hand, "Take it with you on the way, when I want to eat it for Totna Mu Hotspur!"

This is the house that Ye Qiu's agent named Eliza Moon found for them through the relationship of the Chelsea club.

Originally, they all thought that the owner of the house would be a loyal Chelsea fan, because there has always been a tradition of living in a fan's house in the British youth training, but on the first day of living in this house, the fat landlady told them very seriously He, "Our family loves Tottenham Hotspur!"

So why join Chelsea's youth training community program again?What about letting Chelsea's youth players live in their home?
"The subsidy is only part of it. Our ultimate goal is to hope that you will play for Tottenham!"

Even now, Fabregas has not figured out which of the two different purposes is more important, but he heard a word from the fat landlady that the real Tottenham fans live in Fuzhou. Leham, Kensington and Chelsea; real West Ham fans live in Cambridge; real Chelsea fans live in Millwall.

After finally getting a map of London, he discovered that Tottenham was far north of London, while Arsenal was in the northwest of London. No wonder the match between Arsenal and Tottenham was called the North London Derby.

Because I like the relationship with Tottenham, the fat landlady said directly, don't put the souvenirs of Chelsea, Arsenal and other teams in a conspicuous place for them to see, otherwise... the consequences will not be guaranteed!
Such a lovely, friendly family, aren't they?

When they went out, there was a bicycle outside, which they bought yesterday.

Yes, they, besides Cesc Fabregas, and Leo Messi who lives next door, are separated by a wall.

"Morning, Cesc!" Despite his short stature, Messi was riding a bicycle very fast. He passed in front of Cesc Fabregas like a gust of wind, leaving behind a coquettish figure, and a distant cry. call.

Cesc Fabregas pouted, got on his bicycle, and quickly caught up, but he was full of anticipation for his first Chelsea training. Just three days ago, they signed a professional contract with Chelsea for a period of five years. Ye Qiu promised that they could directly train with the first team, and they were guaranteed to play in the first team within one year.

It's a simple, humble promise, isn't it?
But Barcelona can't give it!

Thinking of this, Cesc Fabregas, who felt a little bitter in his heart, couldn't help but think of the jersey that he had hidden at the bottom of the luggage bag in the dormitory, which was signed by Guardiola, and there was a sentence left to him by Guardiola on it. , "One day, you will become Barcelona's No. 4!"

This is when he went to La Masia to bid farewell to the youth training coach Rudolf Borelte. His expectations, but ironically, it was Guardiola's support that finally made Cesc Fabregas determined to leave Barcelona.

Is it complicated?

Not at all, because both Guardiola and Cesc Fabregas know very well that there is no way out in Barcelona.

Just imagine, even a youth player like Harvey can barely gain a foothold in the first team, and Iniesta can't guarantee his position, and wants to leave the team and switch to another place. Fabregas Not to mention such a young man.

Not only him, but almost the entire La Masia players who are in the same group as him are thinking about leaving Barcelona.

From the age of 10 to the present, it has been 6 years. Fabregas has become accustomed to everything in Barcelona, ​​including taking an hour or two from the city to return to his hometown every day, because there is no dormitory arranged in La Masia.

But when they came to London, they lived in the landlady's house on the first day.

The same difference is that when Cesc Fabregas was invited by Arsenal and Chelsea, he took the initiative to find the club and only asked for a promise to stay, but they still couldn't give it in the end, they just blindly asked him to be patient. Good patience will be killed by those insincere remarks.

Whether it is the new chairman Laporta or the new head coach Rijkaard, they are obviously not going to pay attention to youth training.

They should be suffering from a bad start to the new season with one draw and one loss, right?Cesc Fabregas thought with regret in his heart, because many people felt that Rijkaard could not bring Barcelona a revival at all.

Everyone, especially the rookies in La Masia, is really optimistic about Ye Qiu.

This Chinese is famous for his youth training in Ajax. He led a team with an average age of about 20 years old to be invincible in the European arena. This has long been the expectation of La Masia youth training players, especially when they come from Cruyff, after receiving news from various parties that Ye Qiu will be in charge of Camp Nou, they all seem to see tomorrow and see hope.

But in the end, Ye Qiu went to Chelsea, Barcelona invited Rijkaard, and the rebuffs in the transfer market made many people feel that Barcelona's revival would once again become an unattainable fantasy.

It was under such circumstances that Fabregas and Messi chose to leave, and between Arsene Wenger's famous red card team in the Premier League and Ye Qiu's powerful Chelsea, they hardly hesitated for too long I chose the latter.

At the very least, the current Arsenal is not appreciated by Cesc Fabregas and his youth training. On the contrary, Ye Qiu's achievements in Ajax make them feel that Chelsea is more worthy of entrustment.

Thinking of this, Fabregas raised his head and looked at the ray of sunshine in the dark sky in the distance. It seemed to represent the dawn, and it also made Fabregas see his hope for the future, and all this was pinned on On Ye Qiu.

"Cesc, hurry up!" Messi in front slowed down and shouted loudly.

This kid is not as mature as Cesc Fabregas, he feels a little ignorant of youth, and after a while, his parents and family members will also leave Barcelona and come to London to work in the Chelsea club. At that time, Cesc Fabregas will also move in to live with them, who made them best friends?
"Come on!" Thinking of this, Cesc Fabregas speeded up, and the bicycle rushed up quickly.

Two people and two cars soon turned into Harrington and came to the remote Chelsea training base.

"Wow, they are all good cars!"

As soon as I entered the training base, I saw two rows of cars parked in the parking lot opposite the training building, all of which were good cars, either sports cars or luxury cars. The eyes of the two boys were straightened, thinking about when Do you want one yourself?
"You guys are Cesc and Leo, aren't you?" A tall and strong white youth came out of the training building. He had already changed into a training uniform. They all recognized him, Chelsea's new captain, John? Terry.

"I'm Captain John Terry, you can find me anytime, anywhere, but now, put your car in the parking lot and go to the locker room to change your clothes. Your lockers have been arranged and your names are on it. Hurry up, I don't like people being late."

"Oh!" Fabregas responded.

But Messi looked around over there, "The car is parked here, what about the bicycle?" Seeing his cute appearance, he seemed to be hesitating, should his brand new Phoenix Twin Bones be placed with this group of luxury cars? together?Would this be too unkind?
After hearing this, Terry was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, "Whatever, you can put it in the corner!"

At this moment, the two boys had no objections. They quickly ran to the corner with their bicycles, put them against the wall, and went straight to the locker room.

Ye Qiu was standing in the corridor on the second floor, taking a panoramic view of this scene, he kept shaking his head and laughing, young is good, he likes young people, especially young people like Cesc Fabregas and Messi.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, these two people represent future superstars, but in Ye Qiu's eyes, they have a deeper meaning, that is, moldability.

Now Cesc Fabregas and Messi are in the stage of rapid growth, and the group of outstanding stars in the Chelsea team is undoubtedly their best teachers. Let them train with the first team, which means that they can be trained at any time. Go anywhere to learn and observe how this group of teachers play football.

The experience gained from Ajax made Ye Qiu clearly understand that the future of a star is not completely fixed.

Just like Robben, his right foot is better now than in his previous life, because Ye Qiu focused on carving his right foot. If he can persevere, then the height that Robben can reach will exceed Ye Qiu's previous life.

In addition, like van der Vaart, the Dutchman is still very fast even without suffering injuries. Coupled with his creativity, technique and ability to hold the ball, the left and right wings formed by him and Robben are very lethal. It is reported that Real Madrid even offered 6000 million euros to package them, but they were all rejected by Ajax.

There is also Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whose shooting skills were carved and polished by Van Basten himself. Although he can't compare with shooters like Huntelaar and Ruud van Nistelrooy, it is still very good.

All of this proves one thing, that is, future superstars can become stronger in Ye Qiu's hands.

"Henke, Ricardo, Rene, I'm giving these two treasures to you!" Ye Qiu said with a smile to the assistants beside him, because he is the head coach, and he is responsible for training and nurturing young players. Can only be handed over to the assistant.

"Ronaldinho, Deco, Lampard, Davis, Makelele, these people are all good teachers, don't waste them!" Ye Qiu is not afraid of chewing too much, because in In his view, each of these people has an amazing unique skill, which is scarce in the football world today, and he can learn as much as he can.

Ten Carter, Moniz, and Meulenstein all nodded with a smile. The former is the chief assistant coach and is in charge of training coordination. Ye Qiu's words naturally meant that he should focus on these two young players, while Moniz He and Mullenstein were in charge of technical sculpting, and they had already gotten used to Ye Qiu's requirements and ideas.

Familiar teams have such advantages. Needless to say, they know each other well.

Ye Qiu also told Eliza to try to get rid of the Spanish managers of these two teenagers. That manager named Jose Diaz is always a hidden danger. God knows when he will hook up with Barcelona again. Come on, encourage these two boys to quit?
"It doesn't seem easy to be so valued by you, I will pay attention to it!" Ten Carter promised with a smile, "But, you have to be careful, you poached two players in Barcelona in one go, they will definitely retaliate of."

Ye Qiu shook his head after hearing this, "They don't have that kind of thought now, besides, what is revenge? Have we violated the rules?"

In Spain, you cannot sign a professional contract at the age of 16, but you can in England, so Ye Qiu's introduction of Cesc Fabregas and Messi is at best just taking advantage of this loophole. The training of [-] euros took a lot of work, so could it be possible to have a mess?
For Barcelona now, the most important thing is how to stabilize their position. Ye Qiu and Beckham failed to fulfill the promises Laporta made during the election campaign. Barcelona fans have long been dissatisfied, and then Rijkaard The appointment of Ye Qiu was also full of controversy, and Cruyff even directly stated that failing to invite Ye Qiu would be Barcelona's biggest mistake.

In the previous life, Rijkaard led Barcelona to revival, and Ten Cate contributed a lot, but now the Eredivisie coach is here with Ye Qiu, and Ronaldinho and Deco are also with Ye Qiu now. I'm thinking, will Rijkaard's Barcelona continue to revive?

It turns out that Barcelona eventually sued Chelsea.

…………

…………

In the fifth round of the Premier League, after Chelsea defeated Tottenham Hotspur 5:4 at home, two news came.

One is through the joint appeal of Premier League coaches such as Ferguson, Ye Qiu and Wenger. The English Football Association stated that it will seriously consider the request from the Premier League coaches and will negotiate with the Ministry of Labor. It hopes that the rules for the introduction of young players will be based on football regulations. Particularity given due care and modification.

This statement undoubtedly opened up a direct lane for the birth of the Special Genius Clause, but with the slow efficiency of the British, it is estimated that it will be difficult to introduce it in a short period of time, and it can be calculated in months at the earliest.

Another one is that Barcelona sued Chelsea to UEFA, thinking that Chelsea stole Barcelona's talent by improper means. The club chairman Laporta even publicly blasted Ye Qiu as a thief, and poaching players is stealing , "They are exploiting our talent, UEFA should do justice and let the two players return to Spain."

And in the interview, Barcelona kept repeatedly emphasizing their investment in players, especially Messi. He believes that the club has invested a lot in Messi over the years. Now that they have been poached, they have gained nothing.

Ye Qiu refuted this, "Strictly speaking, they are exactly the same as us, there is no difference, because all the players are not regular Barcelona direct descendants, many of them were poached from other small clubs, Cesc Fabregas , Messi, Iniesta, etc., aren’t they all like this? And even now, they are still doing the same thing.”

"If I'm a thief, aren't they honest robbers?"

"I don't think Barcelona should have any resentment at all, because we didn't do anything illegal, every step was in line with the procedure, and we didn't threaten Barcelona and the players at gunpoint. The fact is that Barcelona can't make promises to the players, but we can. They promised a future, so they chose us over Barcelona!"

For the bombardment from Barcelona, ​​UEFA did not actively accept it. The involvement of this matter is too great.

On the surface, this is a dispute between Chelsea and Barcelona, ​​but in fact, isn't this a dispute between the upstream team and the mid-stream and downstream teams?Can anyone guarantee that their own youth training players are trained by themselves and not poached from other teams?

Cruyff said a fair word. He believed that Laporta should not fight Ye Qiu and Chelsea. Such bombardment and accusations are of no use at all. He felt that the most important thing for Barcelona is to block talents. The missing gap is Spain's rule that prohibits signing players under the age of 18.

Facts have proved that UEFA did not intend to arbitrate this matter. Soon after the media disclosed it, they faxed a document to the two clubs the next day, asking both parties to negotiate this matter, and Ye Qiu also Given the attitude of the club and paid a training fee, let this matter go.

This can be regarded as something acceptable to both parties, because if the trouble continues, the players may be banned from playing the game.

Back then Ronaldinho, Juninho Jr., Mex and other players were all suspended for a short period of time because of transfer issues. This is obviously not what Ye Qiu wanted to see, paying Barcelona hundreds of thousands Ye Qiu also felt that there was no problem with the exchange of two players for the euro, and the settlement. Besides, Chelsea didn't care about such a small amount of money, did they?

This matter finally came to an end with such a result. Chelsea negotiated privately with Barcelona. After paying 60 euros in training fees, the other party withdrew the lawsuit.

However, Ye Qiu's Chelsea played a triumphant song in the Premier League and Champions League!
