The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 256 I'm Not Rare!
Perhaps, the fate of rebels is never to get official recognition and affirmation.

As early as when UEFA announced the candidates for the 2003 Best Team of the Year and the Best Head Coach, the English media began to hype that Ye Qiu would be the number one candidate for the Best Coach of the Year, including the Guardian, Times The newspaper, the Daily Telegraph and other media all handed over the 2003 best coach to Ye Qiu.

Although the Premier League awarded the best coach of the month in December to Ferguson, who led Manchester United to five consecutive victories, Ronaldinho won the best player of the month, but in the following half of the Premier League's best team selection Among them, Chelsea can be said to have won a big victory, and the limelight was second to none.

The goalkeeper is Van der Sar. Although Howard performed well at Manchester United, Van der Sar is undoubtedly the most stable goalkeeper in the Premier League this season. Chelsea is also the team that has conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League. One of the most outstanding top goalkeepers in the world, and more importantly, Van der Sar made the fewest mistakes among all Premier League goalkeepers.

As the Premier League team with the fewest goals conceded, Chelsea's defense has naturally been greatly affirmed. Left back Evra, center back Terry, and right back Maicon have all been included in the list of the best defense. That is, the right center back is Arsenal's Kolo Toure, and this old Ye Qiu will be the core of Arsenal's defense this season.

But there are also some media who are puzzled by Kolo Touré's election and Cannavaro's loss, because purely from the performance point of view, the captain of the Italian national team has definitely played at his highest level in Chelsea. He and Terry The partner is a perfect match, and the combination of the two is very complementary.

However, some people think that it is impossible for the Premier League to hand over all four positions of the entire defense line to Chelsea, so Kolo Toure's controversial election is understandable, and the performance of this old Ye Qiu has once again made everyone wonder He saw the authority of Ye Qiu's piercing eyes.

Compared with the defense line, the competition in the midfield is very fierce, especially in the middle, Scholes, Lampard, Davis, Makelele, Roy Keane, Gerrard, Vieira The other players performed very well, but in the end it was Lampard and Roy Keane who were selected as the best team of the two central midfielders.

Affected by the renewal issue, Vieira's performance has been ups and downs, and he is far from his best form. If it weren't for Gilberto Silva beside him, his problems would have been exposed more clearly. As for Davis And Makelele, the former was assigned to the left by the best team, and the left midfielder was also the position Davis played when he debuted, so Makelele was defeated.

Scholes played too few games, and Gerrard was limited by Liverpool's sluggish performance this season, so neither of them was selected.

The left midfielder is Edgar Davis, and the right midfielder is the Brazilian Ronaldinho. The latter is regarded by many professionals as the source of Chelsea's offense, and Ronaldinho is believed to occupy Chelsea Half of the attacking firepower, goals and assists are very brilliant, as for Edgar Davis, more is squeezed to the left, otherwise he should have a place in the middle.

Pires and Giggs are both excellent, but the Frenchman is currently in conflict with Arsenal over salary issues, and his performance is not very good. Giggs has not been very important in the team, especially Manchester United this season. After Beckham left, Giggs did not show the kind of influence to turn the tide, and both of them are slightly inferior to Davis.

The double forwards are Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy. Drogba's tactical role is very great and has been affirmed by everyone, but there is no way. The top scorer in the Premier League, Shearer is the second, but Newcastle did not perform well, and Shearer has 6 penalties, and finally Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy entered the best.

Of the 11 best half-time lineup positions, Chelsea occupied 7 positions, which is enough to make everyone feel the strength of Chelsea this season, especially the group of players in the Chelsea team can be described as strong and strong.

The Premier League gave Chelsea a very high evaluation, especially for the head coach Ye Qiu. He thought that this group of Chelsea players would not have a good impression on everyone half a year ago, even Cannavaro and Davies. Such a player gives people a feeling of fading away. Although Makelele is in his prime, he has not received much recognition.

Although Ronaldinho, Lampard, Deco, Terry, Evra, Drogba and others have proven their strengths in other European leagues, they have never shown their strength like this season Excellent and astonishing state, the entire Chelsea team has reached a certain astonishing combat effectiveness under Ye Qiu's training.

"In today's world football, Chelsea is the one with the most control over the pitch. The kind of control that suffocates the opponent allows Chelsea to deal with any opponent with ease. Coupled with the outstanding personal ability of the players, this Chelsea team Both collectively and individually have very strong combat effectiveness."

In the end, Ye Qiu also relied on Chelsea's outstanding performance in the past six months to beat Ferguson, Wenger and other Premier League coaches, and won the best coach in the half of the Premier League. In the past few years, this honor has always been Wenger. and Ferguson's bag.

This time, Ye Qiu won the best head coach of the half-time, and Chelsea won the best team of the half-time, making everyone realize that the Premier League is about to change. In the past, Manchester United and Arsenal monopolized the Premier League. The strong rise and was broken.

In the words of Martin Samuel, as long as Chelsea continue to maintain their excellent performance in the first half, no one can take the championship away, and it will definitely fall at Stamford Bridge in the end.

With his excellent performance in the first half, Ye Qiu got the best head coach in the half of the Premier League and made a good start. This undoubtedly aggravated the affirmation of fans all over the world. Among the best lineups, Ye Qiu actually lost to Porto's Mourinho again, which caused controversy among many fans.

On the message board of UEFA's official website, a fan left a paragraph of analysis and doubts, suspecting that UEFA's selection was not fair at all. With three league championships and Chelsea's amazing performance in the second half of the year, Ye Qiu is undoubtedly the best coach of the year.

"A head coach who even gave affirmation and support to competitors such as Lippi, Del Bosque, Ancelotti, and Ferguson, but in the end lost to an unknown player from the Portuguese Super League? What does Mourinho have? Such a good result? How can he overwhelm Ye Qiu to win the UEFA Coach of the Season and Coach of the Year awards?"

This fan's message has been followed and supported by many fans, and the number of supporters exceeds [-]. Many people who followed said that UEFA obviously wants to suppress Ye Qiu and support Mourinho for many reasons. Simple, "Ye Qiu is not white!"

There were many such remarks, but they were quickly deleted. After all, it involved racial discrimination, and UEFA immediately gave an official response, thinking that the process and difficulty of Mourinho leading Porto to the UEFA Cup can be more reflected out level.

Schulder Mosel of the Dutch common daily gave satire and sarcasm in his column.

"When Ye Qiu led the youngest Ajax to win the UEFA Cup, UEFA said that the UEFA Cup was not enough, and it was only natural for the Champions League champion to win the best of the year, which was also accepted; the next year, Ye It’s fine for Qiu to lead the team to the semi-finals, but UEFA still refuses to give it to them, but now that Ye Qiu has won the Champions League, UEFA instead gave the award to the UEFA Cup champion, isn’t that self-deprecating?”

"That's right, the rules are set by UEFA. They are the players and the referees. They have the final say on how the game is played!"

Coincidentally, Ye Qiu also failed to win the World's Best Men's Football Coach award at the FIFA annual awards ceremony, but this time it was not Mourinho, but the boss from Boca Juniors. Coach Bianchi won the best coach because he led Boca to its 20th league title and won the Copa Libertadores and the Toyota Cup.

This result has just been announced to the public, and the media immediately created controversy again, thinking that the European Champions Cup is not as important as the South American Libertadores Cup and the Toyota Cup. Otherwise, with Ye Qiu's honors in Ajax and his achievements in Chelsea, who can say that he is more qualified to win this award than him?
In fact, it's not just the best coach that is controversial. As the only team that won the Triple Crown in Europe last season, Ajax was not selected in UEFA's best team. There are few, but no one has won the award. It has to be said that this award itself is unfair.

On the contrary, in Porto, Mourinho won the best coach of the year, and Ferreira beat Maicon to get the best right back of the year. This was hailed by many people as a dark horse, but it caused a lot of controversy.

For these, Ye Qiu responded at the press conference before the FA Cup away game against Watford. He believed that it was not important who the award was given to. Whether it was a player or a head coach, it was all about conquering the fans on the field. , won the recognition of the fans.

"I am very grateful to those fans who complained for me, and also to those colleagues who spoke for me, but I think the award has already come out, there is no need to change it, because I never live for the award, I will always Only fight for my team, players, fans!"

But Ye Qiu finally said, "Sometimes life is like this, maybe they don't want to give you an award now, you will feel a little regretful, but when they are willing to give it to you in the future, you don't want it anymore, who knows Woolen cloth?"

Although it was said as a joke, many people felt that Ye Qiu was preparing to fight against UEFA. The subtext was, it doesn't matter if you don't give it to me now, but even if you do in the future, I'm not so eager to ask for it!

The fans who supported Ye Qiu all affirmed his tough statement, thinking that Ye Qiu has already won and conquered all the fans with his performance on the court. The best of the year, in the future continue to use the team's performance and results to speak, there is no need to pay attention to the awards.

Amidst such turmoil, Chelsea started their first game in 2004.

Finally, in the away game, with the goals of Messi and Gudjohnsen, Chelsea defeated Watford 2:1 away.

In this game, Ye Qiu noticed that the young player named Ashley Young in the Watford team also took a closer look, but this young player's performance against Chelsea was obviously not good. Did not show eye-catching strength from beginning to end.

Ten Carter and Moniz didn't think highly of this player. His speed is very fast, and his skills are considered to be above-average among England's offensive players. It is indeed very fast.

Having successfully advanced from the FA Cup, Chelsea's next round opponent is Scarborough from the amateur league. It is still an away game, and the time is scheduled for late January.

The FA Cup is over, Chelsea ushered in the first league game in the second half, the opponent is still Liverpool, but this time it is at Stamford Bridge, but Houllier still puts on ugly defensive counterattack tactics.

Liverpool's recent record is very bad, the ranking fell to 6th in the Premier League, away to challenge Chelsea, which is ranked first in the Premier League, Houllier obviously did not dare to be careless, and with Owen and Gerrard missing due to injuries, Houllier's formation Formation is restricted.

Chelsea was also affected by injuries. Davis hadn't recovered yet, but Evra was injured again, and Cannavaro played in the FA Cup, so Ye Qiu was excluded from this match. The defensive combination of Sun Jihai, Gallas, Terry and Maicon, because he expected Houllier to stick to it.

Sure enough, Houllier used 451 tactics in this game. Goalkeeper Dudek, defense line Traore, Hyypia, Hencoz and Biscayne, midfielder Riise, Murphy, Hamann and Diouf, Kewell behind Husky.

In addition to adjusting the defense, Ye Qiu also changed the midfield in this game. Because the last game against Portsmouth, the team's performance was not very satisfactory, and the players obviously couldn't adapt, so this time Ye Qiu tried to let Makelele play a single midfielder, Joe Cole, Deco and Lampard formed a midfielder, and Ronaldinho and Drogba formed a double striker.

However, the team's performance in the first half was still unsatisfactory. Even though Ye Qiu adjusted the positions of Joe Cole, Deco and Lampard according to the situation in the game, they became a diamond-shaped midfielder. Still haven't played out the strong combination of the three creative players of Joe Cole, Deco and Ronaldinho.

The team did a good job in terms of ball possession rate. Liverpool was suppressed very embarrassingly, but Houllier's ability to adjust the defense is not ordinary. Although losing Owen, Liverpool's counterattack is not much threat, but Chelsea want to break the Red Army's defense Iron walls are not easy.

Ye Qiu made another adjustment in the 62nd minute of the second half. Franck Ribery replaced Joe Cole. Franck Ribery is separated on two sides, with Drogba at the forefront.

The attitude of Ye Qiu's change to 433 is very obvious, that is, to force the sideways, give play to Drogba's dominance in the penalty area, and the offensive ability of Ronaldinho and Lampard to crush Liverpool in one fell swoop.

This substitution adjustment soon received news.

Both Hyypia and Henkoz couldn't restrain Drogba. In the 71st minute, the Ivorian took advantage of Ribéry and Maicon's cooperation on the right and then made a cross to score Liverpool's goal with a header. 1:0!

This was also the only goal in the game, and Chelsea relied on this goal to beat visiting Liverpool at home.

Houllier looked very depressed, because he had put down his body to defend to the death, but in the end he was still unable to retreat from the Stamford Bridge. He even lost his old business, and the knowledge he left for the Red Army fans Helpless expression.

What is impressive is that Gerrard, who was absent due to injury in this game, screamed after being scored by Chelsea when he was serving as a commentator, because this goal dealt a heavy blow to Liverpool.

Everyone believes that after the end of this season, Houllier's journey to the Red Army will also come to an end.

In the same round, Manchester United challenged Bolton in an away game. The Red Devils did not fall at the feet of Bolton, a giant killer.

On the other hand, Arsenal drew Moyes' Everton 1:1 in an away game, which also caused the Gunners to lose their second place in the league and fell to third in the league. Chelsea once again defended their position as the league leader.

Three days later, the 21st round of the Premier League.

Manchester United was tied 0:0 by Newcastle at home, Arsenal defeated Middlesbrough 4:1 at home, the Gunners returned to second in the league, but on the same day, Chelsea beat Leicester City 4:0 away .

Chelsea dominated the game from the beginning to the end. Ye Qiu continued the previous 433-[-]-[-] tactic. Gallas, Cannavaro, Terry and Sun Jihai formed the defense line, and Makelele played as a single midfielder. Deco and Lampard formed a central midfielder, Ronaldinho and Ribery separated on the two sides, and Drogba stepped forward.

This set of tactics obviously allowed Chelsea to play better, especially the two wings, playing more actively. The team's four goals were all attacks from the wings, and then through crosses and diagonal penetrations. Waiting for a way to transfer to the middle, and finally broke through Leicester City's goal, all four goals were very exciting.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Ronaldinho got the ball from the left and passed three opponents in a row. In the area where Piero is best at the front of the penalty area, he scored a goal similar to Piero's. The ball won the house.

Before the Brazilian joined Chelsea, many people worried that he would not be able to adapt to the Premier League, but judging from the past six months, he not only adapted well, but also played at a very high level. After all, Chelsea has such a strong lineup As a support, and Ye Qiu gave Ronaldinho such a large degree of freedom in tactics, he got a loose space and environment to fully display his offensive talents.

With this big victory, Chelsea once again extended their league lead to 6 points.

The Christmas devil's schedule has passed, and most of the winter break schedule has passed. Chelsea does not seem to have the slightest ups and downs, and its performance is as stable as ever.
