The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 278 It's Not Time Yet!
Ye Qiu called Peter Kenyon from his garden. He was reluctant to let his wife know about his troubles, but as the closest person and the person who knew Ye Qiu best, it was impossible for Huang Chu not to Know what your husband is thinking.

She didn't disturb Ye Qiu's phone calls, nor did she disturb her husband's thoughts, she stood quietly behind him, watching him silently, as if she watched him silently from the stands every game.

Seemingly aware of it, Ye Qiu turned around and saw his wife who was concerned, squeezed out a blunt smile, and waved at Huang Chu. Anyway, today is a holiday, and the team is also on holiday, so he is enough Spend time with your wife.

Huang Chu showed a smile like a blooming flower, walked to Ye Qiu's side, sat next to him on a long stone chair in the garden, gently tapped his shoulder, and said nothing Said, just leaned quietly and accompanied him silently.

She knew Ye Qiu very well, and knew very clearly that what Ye Qiu needed at this moment was not advice and explanation, but listening.

"I'm a bit tired of living involuntarily!" Ye Qiu said with a sigh.

In the eyes of many people, Ye Qiu controls everything in Chelsea and holds the power of life and death, but only he knows that in fact, all of these cannot give him a sense of security, because all of these do not belong to him, and It belongs to Abramovich.

Ye Qiu has never been a person who would choose to bow down for the sake of power. He has never flattered Abramovich, and he has never flattered the Russians. On the contrary, he has always dared to argue hard, which even Even Peter Kenyon was inferior to him, but the facts proved that Ye Qiu was right even up to now!

Comparing his heart to his heart, Ye Qiu can also understand that it takes a lot of courage and tolerance for a boss to hire such an employee and tolerate such an employee, so Ye Qiu has always been conscientious. He always feels that Abramovich treats him Trust, then he will make achievements and give rewards. This is his professional ethics.

But he will not change some principles. For example, he absolutely does not allow anyone to dictate his locker room. Therefore, even if Abramovich wants to go to the locker room, he must call Ye Qiu in advance.

Everything has been going well since coming to Chelsea, but just yesterday afternoon, the words of Pini Zahavi sounded a wake-up call to Ye Qiu, that is Abramovich's will Really decide the key to Chelsea's fate.

If you use Microsoft's Windows operating system to describe it, Ye Qiu is the user who has obtained the maximum authority of the system, but Abramovich has the authority of the system administrator. He can use the authority of the administrator to intervene in Ye Qiu's affairs anytime, anywhere. Power, even directly delete the user Ye Qiu, and create a new user ID.

This made Ye Qiu feel a sense of fatigue. Maybe he didn't feel much when the wind was going smoothly, but now, he obviously felt threatened. At least Abramovich actually managed Shevchenko's transfer behind his back. This made him unhappy.

Of course, the matter is not serious enough to resign directly, because at least Abramovich has not admitted anything to him personally, nor has he said anything to him personally. It is too early and too hasty to react now.

Although Ye Qiu is young, but after being in professional football for a long time, he has also become mature.

"I've heard Eliza say it several times, and I think she's right. If you think it's not good to work for others, then buy a team yourself!" Huang Chu suggested in a soft voice.

Eliza has mentioned this proposal many times. She also suggested that Ye Qiu buy a League One team, or a Dutch team, but Ye Qiu has his own ideas, because he is very clear about the future trend of football. how is it like.

It’s like Leeds United, which was relegated this season. It’s too cheap to buy Leeds United now, but the problem is, if you buy this team, you have to bear all the debts of Leeds United, which is as high as 1 million pounds. Nearly 1 million euros, and after the team is relegated to League One, the situation will become even more embarrassing.

According to Ye Qiu's estimation, to lead Leeds United to rise again, at least 2 million euros will be needed in the early stage, and most of the team's main players must be guaranteed to stay, while the subsequent late stage investment is the key.

One must know that Leeds is not a big city. The northern part of England is full of former heavy industry bases, which have long since declined. Even Manchester is now trying to transform itself. Therefore, Ye Qiu bought Leeds United, and it would be difficult for him to make a big difference.

Of course, if you just want to get a mid-table seat in the Premier League, occasionally play a dozen European matches, and lead the team to appreciate before selling it, that's fine, but Ye Qiu wants to buy a club for business management, then you have to Pick and choose.

Looking at today's football, almost all the giants have one thing in common, that is, they are all in big cities.

Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle in the Premier League, Manchester, Liverpool, London and Newcastle are all big cities, and even Birmingham, where Birmingham and Aston Villa are located, is also a big city with a large fan base and wide influence. The online business is relatively developed, which is far beyond the comparison of small and medium-sized cities such as Nottingham and Leeds.

Looking at La Liga again, Real Madrid and Barcelona are located in the two largest cities in Spain, while Italy is located in Rome, Milan and Turin, and Germany is located in Munich, Berlin, Hamburg and so on.

Of course, there are also some teams from small places. This is more obvious in Germany, but it also has its particularity, that is, many small teams are supported by large companies, such as Philips in Eindhoven, Juventus The Agnelli family in Tus, the Bayer pharmaceutical factory in Leverkusen and so on.

There is no need to count on the Bundesliga, the teams in this league will not be sold to foreigners like Ye Qiu, and there is no need to think about the La Liga, aside from the two giants with a membership system, it is difficult for other teams to compete with the two giants Competition, because before you stand up, you will be divided up by others.

The decline of Serie A has become a fact, and the business management of Italian teams is very bad. They don't even own the stadium. It is difficult for such a league to be self-financed in terms of team management, so Ye Qiu is not interested. He has always set his goals on Ready for the Premier League.

The big cities in the Premier League are nothing more than London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle, but the prices of teams in these cities are not cheap, and the later investment has to be considered. Not to mention, the financial expenditure of a football club in a season is at least Over [-] million, even if you live frugally, tens of millions of euros are always needed, right?
"It's not the time yet!" Ye Qiu lightly patted his wife's fragrant shoulders, turned his head to the side, sniffed greedily the refreshing fragrance of her hair, felt the warmth from her forehead against his cheek, The restless heart gradually calmed down.

That's right, it's not the time yet. For him now, the most important thing is to show off his qualifications!
The football circle is actually very strange. You say that he has a prosperous business and everyone is chasing fame and money. This is true, but the problem is that he is also a very human circle. Playing football under his command, he even did not hesitate to transfer to follow for it.

If Ye Qiu was an unknown person, even if he bought a Premier League club, no star would be willing to join him, but if he were the world's top coach, the situation would be completely different. I believe that with his Fame and status are enough to attract a group of outstanding and potential stars to join, which will save him a lot of trouble and investment.

It can be said that if Chelsea hadn't invited Ye Qiu this season, Abramovich would not have expected to be able to attract players including Davis, Cannavaro and Ronaldini with a transfer investment of around 1 million euros. The joining of stars such as Austria, because no player is willing to play football purely for money, at least these players are not yet of that age.

No matter what Ye Qiu said, he has the glory of Ajax in the past, three years of Ajax's first-team resume, a UEFA Cup, two Eredivisie titles, a Champions League semi-final and a Champions League title, and the most important thing is the last one. The Triple Crown in [-], these are his qualifications, and everyone has to admit it.

Even so, Ye Qiu is still very clear that Chelsea can't really recruit the top stars. Henry and Shevchenko refused to come to Chelsea before, and now the Ukrainian has agreed. The reason is also very simple. , Chelsea is very hopeful to win the Champions League this season, and if they continue to invest more next season, they will still be the most popular candidates to win the Champions League.

If there is no Champions League this season, will Shevchenko nod?

"Do you think I'm useless? I can't help you with anything?" Huang Chu asked sadly on Ye Qiu's shoulder.

She can't help Ye Qiu's career, she can't do anything to help him coach, she is not good at helping him go to America to manage business, she doesn't even care about Huangtian Group at home, but Chen Zhong, always If there is anything to do, call or come to see Ye Qiu in person, and she is just a bystander.

Sometimes when I think about it, Huang Chu feels that Eliza is much more capable than himself. She is in the United States, but she can still manage the brokerage company in the United Kingdom in an orderly manner, and the operation of Leaf Technology in the United States is gradually improving. Some websites have been launched one after another, and they are also very popular and respected, and the company's performance is booming.

She even foolishly thought that if she hadn't met Ye Qiu earlier, maybe Ye Qiu would have liked Eliza, a great helper, instead of herself?

Ye Qiu has guessed what his wife is thinking, this man must not think that once married, he does not need to coax women, that is wrong, married women should continue to coax, it is best that you can coax her for the rest of his life.

"That's right, if you don't tell me, I don't know yet. Think about it carefully, you are really useless, and you can't help me with anything!" Ye Qiu deliberately didn't speak nicely, and deliberately wanted to tease her with words. , stimulate her.

Huang Chu pouted cutely, "You really think so?"

"Of course!" Ye Qiu nodded with a smile, "Don't deny it, let me do the math for you, what will you do?"

Not to mention, Huang Chu really opened his eyes wide to listen to him, with a look of concern on his face.

"Uh, what you are best at is cooking. I eat your cooking for three meals a day, and I can eat your cooking every day when I get home. Well, this is your credit; and, You have a good massage technique, you massage me every night, you can activate your muscles and bones, um, this is another one."

"Also, I think your medical skills are good. You do regular physical examinations for me. You worry that I will have a heart attack like Ferguson and Houllier. You seem to be more worried about this than I am. This is another one; oh, yes Alright, the psychiatrists we have this season were all introduced by you, they are very capable, let’s count them as one more.”

"and also.."

On the surface, Ye Qiu was saying that he didn't have many advantages, but in fact he said it smoothly, without any hindrance, and directly said a lot, coaxing Huang Chu to be coquettish again, but in his heart he was flattered, I just blamed this guy for deliberately teasing me just now, making me think it was really so useless.

"The most important thing is, you are so beautiful, I will be honored to take you out!" Ye Qiu finally squeezed Huang Chu's cheeks annoyingly, as if pinching a baby's pink. The face is the same, it hurts to death.

Unwilling to be pinched, Huang Chu reached forward with both hands and pinched Ye Qiu's face, and the two competed in strength like this.

"It hurts, take it easy, I earn my living with this face!" Ye Qiu exaggeratedly shouted.

"I'll crush you to death!" Huang Chu was filled with righteous indignation.

The two were arguing on the long stone chair, wrestling and entangled. Anyway, there were only the two of them in the whole villa, and there were no outsiders, let alone worrying about being seen. They could do whatever they wanted, and in the end it was Huang Chu. Being tightly hugged by Ye Qiu, he was still struggling desperately, but he was finally appointed.

"Let me tell you, it's one thing for me to be able to do it, but what I want is a wife who can always stand behind me, and I can see her encouraging smile when I look back, so, always Don't doubt your importance to me, and don't doubt your own ability, you know?"

Being coaxed by him like this, Huang Chu was completely moved, and she was as obedient as a little sheep, letting him be slaughtered.

On May 5, after the 15th round of the Premier League, Chelsea ended the league.

On the evening of May 5, the UEFA Champions League final was held at the Schalke Stadium in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

There were 11 full days between these two games, so Ye Qiu had plenty of time to prepare for this important final. However, Ye Qiu didn't give the team too much vacation. Day off in the morning and resume training in the afternoon.

From the training, it is not difficult to see that Ye Qiu's entire training arrangement revolves around the UEFA Champions League final 10 days later.

Chelsea's 11-day preparation time seems to be ample, but Porto is more ample than Chelsea in this regard, because Mourinho's team has ended 5 rounds of the Portuguese Super League since May 5th. There are 34 days to calmly prepare for this game. It is foreseeable that the Portuguese will definitely make targeted arrangements for this game.

Mourinho is a very difficult opponent. Even if Chelsea poached Deco this season, Mourinho introduced Cardoso Mendes Thiago from Benfica. The midfielder forms Porto's defensive midfield with Maniche, Costinha and Mendes.

But don't think that Mourinho's lineup has no counterattack. Although Porto's tactics this season are biased towards defense, even in the Portuguese Super League, their offensive ability is not obvious. A total of 34 goals have been scored in 53 rounds of the Portuguese Super League. Few, but the defense is very solid, with only 17 conceded goals and an average of 0 conceded goals per game, which is indeed very good.

Ye Qiu can be sure that Mourinho will not easily change his tactics. That is to say, defense will still be the main theme of Porto in the final, because there is a huge gap between Porto and Chelsea in terms of strength. If Rinho blindly chooses to fight, it will undoubtedly fall into Ye Qiu's hands.

Of course, he is also very clear that it is impossible for Mourinho to just defend, because for a team like Chelsea, which has a superior ability to press the midfield and control the game, being passive means death. difference.

Therefore, during training, Ye Qiu kept instilling in the players various possible changes in the game. For example, Porto seized the initiative after the opening game. You must know that seizing the initiative does not mean that you must rush to attack. To achieve their own strategic goals by disrupting Chelsea's rhythm and control.

Of course, there may also be a more extreme scene, that is, Porto puts up an iron bucket formation and defends to the end, but this possibility is not very high, because Chelsea's main center forward in this game is the tall and mighty Drogba, a native of Ivory Coast. With superior dominance in the penalty area, the Portuguese will definitely be afraid of this.

Porto's ace central defender this season is Carvalho, and the other partner is to adjust between Angola's central defender Pedro Emmanuel and Jorge Costa. Among them, Emmanuel is only 1 meters tall , playing in the Portuguese Super League can also be handled, but to deal with Drogba, the partner Carvalho is too weak.

Ye Qiu can be sure that Mourinho's main central defenders must be Carvalho and Jorge Costa, and he will definitely make a fuss about Chelsea's Drogba, while restricting Ronaldinho and Lampard plug it in.

In this way, there are not many choices for Porto, and it is necessary to tighten the three lines, otherwise, it will give Ronaldinho and Lampard room to play, plus a Deco scheduling, Mourinho No matter how good Ao is, he can't keep it.

Sometimes, the coach's tactics in arranging football games are to be bold and careful.

Looking at those head coaches who do not have the appearance of champions, such as Ranieri and Cooper, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are not courageous enough, and when encountering problems, they think about being cautious, thinking about safety, and thinking about how to solve problems. Can firmly control the opponent.

But this is impossible on the football field, no team can completely control the opponent.

Therefore, in many cases, the more cautious you are, the easier it is to backfire, especially when you have a certain advantage.

The so-called advantage, from Ye Qiu's point of view, is that you have a greater ability to take risks. Therefore, the advantage will only come into play when you take risks. If you dare not take risks, what's the use of any advantage?
