The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 243 Looking for a relationship

Perhaps it was because he had tasted the sweetness when he played Lazio. When Ye Qiu followed up with Manchester City, he made appropriate adjustments and rotations to the team's starting lineup, and arranged for Joe Cole to replace Deco in the starting lineup.

However, the effect of the England midfielder's first start was not satisfactory. Under the joint suppression of the two midfielders of Manchester City, Barton and Reina, Joe Cole did not show a satisfactory state, but was a little depressed.

Finally, in the 38th minute of the first half, Davis stole the ball and passed it to Ronaldinho. After the Brazilian passed two players in the penalty area, he made a low pass to the penalty area. Seaman Scrambled for the ball with Drogba at the same time, but in the end the Ivorian scored the ball, 1:0.

Chelsea have not been able to score against City since then.

Everyone can see that after the frantic start, Chelsea has been in a downturn recently, especially after the consecutive national team games in September and October, the physical fitness of Chelsea players has been obviously consumed, and the team's The control is also far less eye-catching than the start of the league.

However, Ye Qiu has already been mentally prepared for this. He knows that the league is a protracted game, so his strategy is also very simple. To win and get points, he doesn't mind the team performing worse.

After all, this is the first year after Chelsea's reorganization, and it is also Ye Qiu's first season in the Premier League. He lacks experience in many things and needs to explore and adapt slowly, so he is not in a hurry.

And judging from the performance of the past two months, Ye Qiu has already gained a very in-depth understanding of Chelsea as a whole. The team's overall framework and main lineup have basically taken shape. , Davis and Makelele will both play, Deco is obviously more stable than Joe Cole, and it is more reasonable to sort out and distribute the ball.

As for the frontcourt, Drogba didn't score many goals, but his tactics played a huge role. Ronaldinho and Lampard have become the most eye-catching players on the team, and their performances are indeed outstanding. The cooperation is also tacit enough.

Although Lampard scored more goals, in the offensive system, Ronaldinho is the most threatening player in the frontcourt. The role of the Brazilian is not possessed by the Brazilians. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish the role of the two players, but they are both important.

But rotation is still needed, so after playing Manchester City, although the League Cup ushered in the middle of the week, Ye Qiu still gave the core players including Ronaldinho and Lampard a day off, so after playing Manchester City The next day, there were only substitutes on the first-team training field at the Harrington training base.

…………

…………

Although a dozen or so people were suddenly missing from the training ground, the training intensity Ye Qiu had arranged was not reduced at all.

After every training session, Messi was drenched in sweat, feeling as if he had been drained of energy.

Although his body is very tired and tired, his heart is very full. He feels that every training session will have some new discoveries and some special gains, but what exactly he discovered and what he gained? Can't say.

There are many things that cannot be described in words. It takes a long time to accumulate slowly, precipitate slowly, and slowly absorb them for your own use. Then you will suddenly realize that what you have gained is all It comes from so-and-so's performance in training. Only then will you understand the value of participating in the first-team joint training.

Chelsea's youth training camp is terrible, as you can see from the Harrington training base, so it is the privilege of Messi and Cesc Fabregas to participate in the first team training. Played in the reserve team with many players, but looked different from other young players in the academy.

Everyone knew that the two of them were poached by Ye Qiu at the expense of Barcelona, ​​representing the hope of the club.

Judging from the performance of the reserve team, both of them basically showed their strengths, and their performances were good or bad. They can't be said to be particularly eye-catching, because the Premier League's reserve team matches are very fierce, and sometimes they can even be said to be rough. West and Cesc Fabregas have been injured because of this, which caused their debut in the team to be delayed again and again.

But this time, they all clearly sensed a sign that Ye Qiu planned to boldly use substitutes and young players in the midweek League Cup, which meant that this group of young people would have the opportunity to appear in the professional arena.

But after the training, Messi still seemed to lack interest, on the one hand because the training intensity was not small, but more importantly because he had little hope of whether he would be able to play in the League Cup in the middle of the week.

Just a few days ago, the British Ministry of the Interior agreed to the joint application of the head coaches of many Premier League teams, as well as the support of the Premier League and the Football Association, and issued a special talent clause, allowing each Premier League professional club to have a special referee for a year. Aid quota, but must pass the hearing organized by the Ministry of Labor.

Messi's first reaction when he heard the news was joy, because he got an affirmative answer from Ye Qiu, that is, Chelsea are already seeking special talent clauses for Messi, but whether they can make it to the League Cup or not is anyone's guess. have no idea.

Therefore, unlike Cesc Fabregas who is full of expectations for the midweek League Cup, Messi's mood is a bit low, and after coming to the Premier League, his performance is not as good as in La Liga.

Here, especially in the reserve games, physical confrontation and fierce fighting abound. The short and thin Messi is not suitable for such an environment. His body prevents him from bringing out his best side at all. Only occasionally when the opportunity is seized, there is a flash of inspiration, but that's all.

"Don't worry, Leo!" Of course Fabregas knew why his friend was depressed, but he didn't know what to say.

Chelsea's youth training is relatively poor, but Ye Qiu attaches great importance to them. In addition to arranging Messi's father to work in the club and arranging a house for Messi's family, he is also very concerned about their training.

Even, during the first team training breaks, Ye Qiu would go to the side to communicate with them, point out and correct their problems in training, and remind them to pay more attention to the performance of their teammates.

For Cesc Fabregas, Ye Qiu reminded him to pay more attention to Deco and Lampard, even though Lampard's technique is relatively simple, but his sense of scoring from behind really makes the same player in the National Youth Team Cesc Fabregas, who is the shadow front, admires him very much, and Deco's overall view and strategizing also make Fabregas, who has a certain Barcelona No. 4 blood, admire him.

In addition, Ye Qiu also focused on telling Cesc Fabregas to pay more attention to Edgar Davis. He reminded the Spaniard of Edgar Davis' support for off-ball running and his support for his teammates. Wisdom is worth learning for any player.

Messi admires Ronaldinho very much. He admires the Brazilian's use of technology very much, which is almost like magic.

In addition to studying and observing their teammates in training, the two also received intensive training from Moniz with Van Persie. After a very detailed and tedious test, a physical strengthening training was planned for them.

Because they are only 16 years old, it is impossible to achieve it overnight, so the goal of this physical strengthening training is to enable them to better strengthen their physical strength and functions in the next three to four years without affecting their physical development and various functions. Confrontation, better adapt to the Premier League environment, and avoid physical injuries.

Although they have only been at Chelsea for two months, they have already felt the importance that Ye Qiu attaches to them. The only regret is that they were not able to play in the game. hide disappointment.

"Didn't the head say it? Anyway, you will be there sooner or later, don't worry!"

Messi could only respond with a bitter smile for the comfort from his friend. He can do nothing now but wait.

The two walked to the training base side by side, and saw the chubby assistant coach Roland Shepas coming down the stairs. When he saw them, his chubby face smiled like a sunflower.

"Ha, I found you!" Roland walked over with a smile.

I don't know if all fat people like to laugh and use their smiles to enhance their affinity. Anyway, Roland is such a fat person. He is very easy to eat in the locker room, and everyone likes him.

"Here you are!" Roland actually didn't talk much nonsense, and he was still very reliable and capable in handling things.

The two young men looked at each other, took the stack of things from Roland's hand, and saw that it was a football ticket.

Chelsea's home atmosphere has always been poor. Even in the Champions League, the Stamford Bridge Stadium, which can accommodate more than 4 people, is not full. The reason is also very simple. Chelsea's Champions League tickets are the cheapest. Not to mention the most expensive tickets.

It is reported that the head coach Ye Qiu is not satisfied with the club's home business strategy. For this reason, at the club's high-level meeting in October, he once expressed his opinion on this, thinking that the club should focus on the long-term and appropriately lower the ticket price. price, to create an atmosphere for watching football at home, and to attract more fans in their 10s to 20s to enter the stadium, but this time Abramovich, who has always been obedient to Ye Qiu’s words, did not support Ye Qiu’s proposal, but said that the club needs Has its own financial hematopoietic function.

The head coach didn't get too entangled in this issue. After all, he was in charge of sports and was not familiar with operations, so he couldn't intervene. However, Messi noticed that the attendance at Stamford Bridge was really not high, and it was foreseeable that the Champions League It's the same with the league, and the League Cup is even worse.

Because of this, every game, the team is very generous when giving tickets to those players who have entered the big list.

This time, Messi and Cesc Fabregas each got 5 tickets, and Roland even generously said with a smile, if not enough, you can ask him for it again, that fat guy seems to have a lot of money .

"You don't look very happy, Leo!" Roland knew how to read words and expressions.

Messi hesitated to speak, thought for a while, and shook his head, "It's okay, thank you, Roland!"

Roland guessed for a while, and understood why the Argentine boy was worried. "If you are worried about labor certification, I have a piece of news that I can sell you!"

"Oh? Really?" Messi's eyes lit up when he heard it, and his expression became concerned.

Fabregas on the side also heard it, and immediately urged the smiling fat man, "Speak up, Roland!"

"Of course, but in exchange, you have to laugh for a while to see, I don't like to see a frowning Leo all the time!" Roland was obviously joking with Messi.

After hearing this, the Argentine laughed, just a little bit reluctantly.

"Well, you laughed!" Roland muttered, "I just confirmed his plan for tomorrow from our head coach. He will go to the Premier League headquarters in the morning and attend the hearing in person."

Messi was a little surprised when he heard that. You know, he is just a 16-year-old, little-known little guy. A young rookie like him dare not say that he can crawl around. They were all a lot, but Ye Qiu missed the team's training and went to the hearing for him, which shows how much Ye Qiu attaches importance to him.

"You know, Leo, our Mr. Ye Qiu is good at cultivating young people!" Roland gave a thumbs up, "In Ajax, the people he brought in are the most discerning and the most discerning. Sinister Rick Link and Bobby Harms both raved about it and never got it wrong."

Speaking of this experience, Roland was also very proud, because he had always been by Ye Qiu's side, and he could be regarded as Ye Qiu's most capable and senior assistant, what an honor.

"Ye Qiuzhen went to the hearing. He said that you meet the special genius clause, so you must meet it. Just wait for the good news!" Roland patted Messi on the shoulder reassuringly, "On the contrary, don't worry about it too much, kid. If you accidentally perform poorly and make Ye Qiu unhappy, you won't have a chance to play, you know?"

Seeing what Roland said so easily, Messi and Cesc Fabregas, who were not deeply involved in the world, were also happy, because Ye Qiu's reputation for training players was already famous in Ajax, Robben, Ibrahimo Wei Qi, Lucio, Maicon, Gilberto Silva, all of them were excavated and cultivated by Ye Qiu himself.

At the beginning, the group of young Barcelona players in the La Masia youth training camp were eagerly looking forward to Ye Qiu taking charge of the Nou Camp, or they were looking at his piercing eyes, thinking that as long as Ye Qiu came, his group of talented geniuses would be able to Being spotted by him, and then playing in the first team, to shine?
For teenagers like them, who wouldn't want to meet a head coach who is astute and good at discovering and promoting young players?
"Okay, I'm leaving, don't be so sad, you know?" Roland waved goodbye to them with a smile.

"Thank you, Roland!" Messi and Fabregas both took the tickets and said goodbye to Roland.

This Dutch fat man can always say a few words, which makes the originally uneasy things completely unnecessary.

"If the head really sticks out for you, then there must be no problem!" Fabregas seemed really confident in Ye Qiu.

Messi also nodded, "I hope!"

But no matter what, with Ye Qiu personally appearing for him, it would be considered as this hearing. However, Messi also felt that there was no big problem. At least through this incident, he saw that the head coach treated him well. The emphasis has also further determined his future at Chelsea.

After understanding this point, the mood of the two teenagers seemed much more relaxed. After returning to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes, they pedaled their bicycles and went back to the dormitory.

On the contrary, Ye Qiu in the upstairs office is anxiously waiting for a phone call, because tomorrow is the hearing. Although he said that it will have little impact on the main lineup of the first team, he still hopes that Messi can pass, so that the young Argentine You can also get more opportunities to exercise and urge him to make better progress and development.

With the entry of Abramovich, Chelsea's management has been reshuffled to a large extent. Betts's vote has left a lot, and those who remain are some grassroots staff and employees. They were all replaced, which led to many problems in Chelsea's management.

Just like this hearing.

The so-called hearing is like going through the motions for many teams. As long as you use your contacts and relationships to do a good job in public relations, the hearing is very likely to pass, especially for the rich. It is explained that the club does not pay enough attention to this player, or has other arrangements.

For example, Arsenal and Manchester United, many times the hearings are not successful, it is their reason and excuse, the purpose is to loan players out for exercise, but they don't want to chill the players' hearts, so there is a reason to say, I fought for it, But can't pass.

Of course, there is also the possibility that public relations may fail because the hearing of the Ministry of the Interior will arrange six judges, at least one of whom is from the football industry. If it is a Manchester United player to hear, but unfortunately, the Ministry of the Interior I'm sorry if you arrange for a former star of the arch-enemy Liverpool to be a hearing judge, but basically you will be very sad.

This may seem like a joke, but it is what it is.

For Ye Qiu's hearing this time, the management couldn't help, and Paul Smith didn't have enough contacts in the industry, and Pini Zahavi ignored it. On the contrary, Eliza, through her own relationship, finally helped Ye Qiu. After figuring out the origins of these 6 judges, one of them is a celebrity in the English football circle.

Chris Waddle, who once played for Newcastle, Tottenham Hotspur, Marseille and Sheffield Wednesday, is recognized as one of the most technical wing attackers in the history of English football. Many people say that Papin The reason why he was able to perform so well in Marseille was because there was a Chris Waddle beside him.

Ye Qiu filled in Messi's characteristics as an offensive genius with exquisite skills and outstanding dribbling ability, while the Ministry of the Interior selected Chris Waddle's general, which was obviously targeted.

And now that he knew that Chris Waddell was the key person in the hearing, Ye Qiu naturally had to start a targeted public relations strategy.
