Professional players, especially professional players in the four major European leagues, are a very special group.

Why is it special?

They can earn money and status that others may not have made in their entire lives when they are very young, so they can already have the conditions to start enjoying their lives when others may have just started to enter work.

There are many such professional players, they are very rich, and as long as they have money, everyone wants to live a more comfortable life. In the early stages of their career, they can have a lot of excitement and desire, such as winning the championship, proving their strength, etc., which can stimulate them to maintain self-discipline and perform.

But the problem is that in the middle and late stages, if the championship is obtained, there is no need to prove his strength anymore. The whole world knows that he is a superstar, and no one will doubt his strength anymore. At that time, he lost his excitement, his desire, and his goal is gone.

Transfers are a good excitement, because when you reach a new environment, you can find new goals more or less. But Ye Qiu is very clear that if you want a team to become more motivated and more combat-oriented, you must find a new direction and goal for everyone in the team.

Some head coaches will choose to be gentler and take it slowly. It may take a few months to do this, but Ye Qiu has never been so patience. He likes to be fast, so he takes the simplest and most direct way to tell his players that if you make so much money, you should make corresponding efforts and responsibilities.

The players felt the head coach's tough attitude and differences from the first day. There were several players who had doubts about what Ye Qiu said before, and now they completely believed it.

Ye Qiu not only set a strict diet and work and rest time for the players, but also turned all the players into professional soldiers and militarized them. Everything from eating, resting to sleeping is strictly stipulated.

For example, some players like to eat sweet bread or milk for breakfast, but Ye Qiu strictly prohibits these things from appearing in club restaurants and training camps. What's more, Ye Qiu has given the strictest dietary restrictions for some players who are already obviously overweight, and some even can only eat dough and salads.

The maximum temperature in Ildenin, Austria reached 30 degrees at noon, which is not too high for Ye Qiu, who was born in southern China, but for this player living in London, it is not low. If it is normal, the amount should be reduced, but Ye Qiu not only did not reduce the amount, but practiced three times a day, and it was not discounted.

Get up at half past U at the morning, and the whole team had breakfast at 7 o'clock. After a while, they warmed up. They started their first event on time at 8 o'clock, and completed a 00-meter running test. He asked every player to try to dribble as stably as possible, and the last 0-meter sprint was required.

After completing the ball running, the team went to the gym and the swimming pool to conduct stretching training.

One class lasts for 90 minutes, and then physical training will be conducted on time at 1 o'clock in the morning.

Physical training is more about physical enhancement events such as short-distance sprints, back-runs, and bypassing obstacles. These are all to ensure the players' physical fitness reserves, but Ye Qiu has limited the time to this and requires everyone to complete it within the specified time. Once it exceeds it, it will be punished.

At the same time, Ye Qiu will also bring some training events and games that he had been doing when he was in Ajax, such as the wall-to-wall game that he thought was very effective. This game has a very obvious effect on the players and the effect is excellent.

But these games and training programs have one feature, that is, compactness, compactness means high intensity.

After the second 90-minute training class, have lunch at 1:30 noon, have an hour off, and then hold a tactical discussion. Ye Qiu and Tencart will instill Chelsea’s tactical ideas this season and the tactical responsibilities of each player in the meeting, so that they can understand their role positioning on the court.

The third training class in the afternoon was held at half past U.S. It was still 90 minutes, and it was more about tactical drills and group confrontation training.

Ye Qiu kept emphasizing that whether it was a game or a training, he required 100% concentration, and passing and receiving the ball should be simple and fast, and touching the ball with one kick. Therefore, in some group confrontation events, he clearly stated that once he got the ball, he would complete an attack within 10 seconds.

The coaching staff specially held the stopwatch on the side, and whistled in more than 10 seconds, and the ball was replaced.

Moreover, in order to encourage players to fight with real swords and guns, Ye Qiu asked everyone to show off the fighting spirit of treating training as a formal game. Everyone must do their best for every opportunity, but what's more serious is that he asked all players not to wear leg guards.

The players are not used to Ye Qiu's request, because on the one hand, they are asked to fight fiercely, and on the other hand, they are not allowed to wear leg guards. Isn't this a slap? What should I do if I get hurt?

But Ye Qiu did not make any corrections to this, but said that to make everyone die, it is necessary to improve in training, and to maintain fighting spirit, but not wearing leg guards, but to remind all players that the confrontation and movements in the Premier League are very intense. On the one hand, all players must learn to protect themselves and also know how to control their movements.

"I don't want you to always hope to have more physical contact with each other. My requirement is to minimize physical contact and achieve the purpose of attack through quick passes and receiving. You don't have physical contact with each other, so why do you still need leg guards?"

Faced with Ye Qiu's aggressive responsive questioning, the players were speechless, and Ye Qiu was all following this hell-style training.

However, Ye Qiu was not completely unconsidered for the players. He was targeting healthy players. For Cannavaro, the captain of the Italian national team was detected on the first day of his arrival at the team. After that, Ye Qiu specially arranged for the coach to train him alone without having to follow the team.

This also allowed everyone in the team to see Ye Qiu's protection of the players, and the subsequent training camps Ye Qiu also adopted two completely different attitudes, practicing hard without injury, and recovering after injury.

There will be no player who wishes he was injured. After all, there are still team doctors who are undergoing tests. As long as their bodies recover and meet the training requirements, they will immediately practice with the team.

Of course, in order to control and avoid players from getting injured due to training, Ye Qiu's whistleholding during training was also very strict. He made clear his attitude to everyone in advance and prohibited vicious fouls. He did not restrict other physical contact and confrontation.

Therefore, players often get overwhelmed on the training ground, but very few are injured, that is, Joe Cole is training in the team! The next day, Davis kicked the calf and rested for two days.

As the training progresses, the players gradually become numb to this situation and get used to it. Gradually, the team's training becomes very cruel. Everyone must do their best and keep their focus. Otherwise, they may be thrown away by their teammates anytime and anywhere, and then make a fool of themselves, which directly promotes the team's training effect.

Ye Qiu is not idle at ordinary times and communicates and contacts with players every day. He always maintains an attitude. If the team is compared to one person, the player is the team's body, and the head coach is the team's brain. If the brain wants to control the body, it must be closely connected with every part of the body.

Cannavaro is the biggest player of all players. He is the captain of the Italian national team, but he performed poorly in the year in Inter Milan, and he has not yet obtained enough to prove his strength in the club, so Ye Qiu used this as an entry point to stimulate the Italians.

Marklele has achieved success. Although the national team has always been suppressed by Vieira and has never achieved any decent achievements, he won a Champions League in the club and reached the final last season. However, Ye Qiu used Vieira's results at Arsenal to stimulate him.

Ronaldinho is very talented and indeed a genius. Even in training, he showed his outstanding skills and was the World Cup champion. However, he had never proved himself in the four major leagues. Ye Qiu kept encouraging him, believing that if he could stand out in this Chelsea team, he would have the qualification to challenge others like Ronaldo and Rivaldo, otherwise no one would recognize him.

As for Edgar Davis, Drogba and others, Ye Qiu didn't need to stimulate him, especially the Dutch. He is now the hardest and hardest-working one on the training ground. He is full of anger and wants to prove his strength and prove it to everyone. At least he is not old enough to wipe the bench for Lippi.

Another thing that makes Ye Qiu feel relieved is Ribery.

The French Scarface Man is also very hardworking in training. Ye Qiu was a little worried that Ribery, who had never played in the French National League, would find it difficult to adapt to Chelsea's training intensity and planned to give him some special care. However, he did not expect that Ribery performed very hard after this training.

"He is very fast, especially explosive power." Tencart had a good impression of the Frenchman who ran directly to Stamford Bridge to find Ye Qiu. He was a little ugly, but his strength was indeed good. Whether it was speed or foot skills, they were very good.

Ye Qiu certainly knew that Ribery was good. The French Scarface sprinting speed was indeed fast enough, and his flexibility and balance were excellent, which made him very skilled in using technology. There was no problem in a small range and could still exert threats. You must know that his left and right feet were very good.

This reminded Ye Qiu of his proud disciple Luo Ben.

Simply put, Robben's speed and pace are better than Ribery, but Robben's technology is more practical and concise, and he relies more on changing rhythms and steps to win, which makes everyone know how to prevent him, that is, positioning.

Of course, the card may not necessarily work, but it can limit Robben's performance.

But Ribery is different. The Frenchman is very fast in movement, and they are skilled in fake movements, speed change and direction change. In addition, his feet are very good at taking and controlling the ball, making his dribbling more confusing.

From the perspective of defensive players, you must be careful when defending Ribery and Robben. There is still some way to defend against Robben. You can defend against Ribery. You don’t know what he will do next because he is very comprehensive.

Because of its comprehensiveness, Ribery is not as good as Robben in simple assault.

From a tactical perspective, Ye Qiu's arrangement for Robben was Abidal. The reason is very simple. The full-back cannot press too much, which will compress Robben's sprint space, so Ye Qiu chose the supportive Abidal to assist Robben.

But Ribery is different. He can perform even on a small scale, so there is no problem at all, so the team's defense line can boldly push forward.

Of course, for the time being, Ribery is just a miracle move in Ye Qiu's hand, and he really relies on Ronaldinho.

Chelsea's 43-foot Ancelotti's 43l is very different, that is, Chelsea's 43l looks more like a 44-diamond midfielder's move, while Ancelotti's 43-foot plays the Christmas tree.

When attacking, Drogba was at the forefront, and Ronaldinho was like a shadow striker. He could find the opponent's loopholes based on his own observations, and more of a pulling edge and cutting into the two ribs, which could also give full play to the advantages of the Brazilian.

If these two players are double strikers, then Lampard is the front midfielder, specifically lying behind Drogba, Edgar Davis and Deco behind Lampard, and Marklele dragged at the end. This is a typical midfield diamond position.

Just like Ye Qiu's initial impression of AC Milan, the diamond position has a big disadvantage, which is the protection of the full-back.

The reason why AC Milan introduced Kafu was that it lacked the offensive methods on the wing. What they needed was a player who could eat the whole wing alone, similar to Kafu and Robert Carlos.

The full-back's forward attack threat is very powerful, especially for the full-back with excellent personal abilities. If he partnered with a scorer in the penalty area like Fanny or a frontcourt tactical fulcrum like Drogba, it would be a big killer.

But the problem is also very big, because the forward pass of the full-back will definitely bring about the problem of assisting defense and protection behind the back, as well as the problem of too large coverage of the full-back. Because the diamond midfield position will inevitably lead to insufficient coverage and control of the midfield side road, and this requires full-backs to make up for it, so sometimes they even need to cover more than 70 meters of running, usually running back and forth about 40 meters.

This is a huge test for any full-back.

But Ye Qiu has his own understanding of this point, because Chelsea is not AC Milan, and Chelsea can completely reduce the pressure on full-backs by more active midfield and frontcourt, with large-scale running and coverage, and after the front pressure on the defense line, the coverage area of ​​full-backs can be further shortened.

Not to mention anything else, the midfield combination of Lampard, Davis, Deco and Marklele will definitely defeat AC Milan's combination of Rui Costa, Sidov, Gattuso and Pirlo in seconds from the running and coverage area.

In terms of technology, Chelsea is not as good as its opponent, but in terms of control, it is definitely capable of defeating AC Milan.

The midfielder is Ye Qiu's confidence. He can't think of any team that has the ability to directly fight against Chelsea's powerful midfielder?

And you should know that Chelsea's midfield is not just hard enough. If you carefully analyze this midfielder of Chelsea and the so-called meat grinder midfielder of Mourinho's era, it is not difficult to find that Ye Qiu's set is more controllable and creative, and every player is in his year of playing.

In fact, since Mourinho's time, Chelsea's midfield has always given people a sense of muscle toughness. Everyone has a comprehensive tactical execution and strong execution. They are like iron men, giving people a suffocating pressure, but why can't they just make a suffocating attack?

The reason is simple, oppression and coverage do not equal control.

Or, so, what is control?

Control is based on me, and I can do whatever I want; can it be compressed and covered?

That is the enemy. Whether it is oppression or coverage, the initiative is controlled by the other party. I am passive

Therefore, Mourinho's style during his time was actually a defensive counterattack, using this kind of oppression and coverage to complete the ball's rights conversion, and then using Robben, Duff and Drogba to fight against the defense.

But Ye Qiu is not going to do this now. What he wants is control, not control.

Of course, it is undeniable that Chelsea, who adopted such a tactical approach in his previous life, adopted a very effective and effective feature of Chelsea in his previous life, is stability, because they are a kind of anti-reversal in their bones, so they are very stable and conceded few goals. However, in the Champions League, such a team often has a headache when encountering teams with strong control.

Perhaps, some people may think that Mourinho's failure to win the Champions League at Chelsea is because of various factors, but one thing cannot be denied, that is, Mourinho's Chelsea only showed dominance in the Premier League, but this is not the case in the Champions League, because the European continental team has stronger and better control.

This is why Ferguson tried every means to guide his team to the mainland-based style of play.

Ye Qiu will not pursue Mourinho's muscle midfield style, either from his own style or from the team's goals, because he is very clear about the shortcomings of this style of play. No one can make the meat grinder gentle. It is difficult to make a difference in UEFA Champions League stadium by blindly pursuing toughness and muscles.
