After two weeks of closed training, the team finally ushered in its first premiere on the evening of the 1st day.

This time, the opponent is Freiburg from the Bundesliga. He is not very strong and is a newly promoted player in the Bundesliga this season. However, Ye Qiu plans to use this game to test the performance of the players and the team.

The starting goalkeeper is Van der Sar, the defense is Evra, Galas, Terry and Macon, and the midfield is Edgar Davis, Marklele and Deco, Ronaldinho and Lampard are behind Drogba, with an irregular 43l position.

This game is Ye Qiu's first game in charge of Chelsea. Ye Qiu has spent two weeks instilling his tactical ideas into the team. Now it is time to examine the results, so Ye Qiu didn't say much, just urged the players to maintain the overall formation and use the team's pass-and-receive coordination and game control to suppress the opponent.

Chelsea had a very good start after the opening. Amid the cheers of about 4,000 Austria and the fans of the two teams who came here specially, Chelsea firmly controlled the situation of the game.

Freiburg originally wanted to use the beginning to play his advantage, and they made preparations specifically for Chelsea before the game, but in the game, they had to collapse and found that Chelsea's control was too strong. Almost no matter where their ball was transferred, Chelsea could firmly control the surrounding area.

Ye Qiu kept shouting and adjusting on the sidelines, because such a game could make him discover the omissions of players' cooperation with each other, and also allow him to adjust the players' responsibilities and positions, so that both the players and the team can perform better and get in more harmoniously.

In the whole first half, Freiburg did not make any threatening attacks. They could only create some threats through long passes and long shots, but this was simply difficult to shake Chelsea's tactical foundation.

Terry and Van der Sar firmly controlled the team's air supremacy, while the midfielder suppressed Freiburg. The team's entire defense line boldly pushed forward. Even if Freiburg clearly saw that there was a large gap behind Chelsea, what could they do? Counterattack? Is it okay?

They are not without speed strikers, but the problem is that their forwards cannot be offside. As long as Chelsea's two central defenders, Galas and Terry maintain sufficient concentration and tight control at any time and anywhere, so that the opponent's forward cannot pull into the gap to complete the sprint, it will be difficult for the forward to perform the speed.

If the speed striker cannot achieve the effect, the threat of counterattack will be smaller.

In this game, Ye Qiu was more about adjusting the team's midfield and defense line running-in issues. The adjustment of the offense was not very obvious, so Chelsea's offense never threatened, giving the entire team an advantage and creating many opportunities, but they just couldn't score goals.

In the second half, Ye Qiu was off, and replaced players such as Van Persie, Goodjohansen, Joe Cole, Ribery, Parker, Sun Jihai, Robert Hutter and Kudicini in one breath, making everyone understand that this is just a warm-up match.

Because of such a large substitution, Chelsea still did not score in the game, with many opportunities, but they were not sure about it, and in the end they could only draw 00 in their first warm-up premiere.

All the media, journalists and fans present would not be satisfied with this warm-up match, because they were originally looking forward to it as a refreshing victory, a typical Ye Qiu-style offensive football style, but in the end it seemed a bit dull and lacked a dazzling performance.

Regarding this, Ye Qiu said in an interview with reporters such as Times after the game that he was not worried.

"We have gone through two weeks of high-intensity training丨The players' bodies are generally tired, lacking stimulation and excitement, and this is just one of our preparations for the league. The real game will have to wait until mid-August, and we still have plenty of time to adjust slowly."

Ye Qiu gave him a high score of 90 points for his performance against the players in this game.

"I told the players before the game that the warm-up match is a game where the process is more important than the result. We can score a lot of goals in the game, but the process did not meet my requirements. Such a game is zero points for me. Like today, the game process has all scored my requirements and played our new style. Even if there is no goal, it is a high score."

A keen reporter immediately noticed the meaning revealed in Ye Qiu's words and immediately asked with a smile: "Mr. Ye Qiu, we all noticed that Chelsea performed more in this game, as if they were in overall defense, or control of the game. Many people said it was boring, but we all noticed that the opponent even had only 5 chances to kick, all of which were long shots. Is this the tactical effect you mentioned?"

Ye Qiu laughed, "You can see this, but I want to say that it's not just that, it's very complicated."

He spent two weeks instilling in the players. He arranged every requirement in almost every position very carefully, but it was not the dogmatic way to ask the players to do what they did, but the requirements and tasks he pointed to the players, how to arrange and complete the players, and let them do it themselves.

"All I can say is that what I want is Chelsea is an invincible iron-blooded legion that can be invincible on any court. We will not give our opponents any chance, because we will completely defeat them before they get the chance."

Ye Qiu's words were spread through the media and immediately attracted a lot of attention. Many people were curious about this Chelsea, but it was obvious that in the eyes of everyone, even Chelsea fans, the premiere of this team with a total value of more than 100 million was not successful, or even a failure.

The opponent is a newly promoted Bundesliga, but Chelsea did not show praiseworthy strength in the whole game. Although it controlled the situation, it was more because the opponent's strength was too weak, so Ye Qiu's debut was a failed work.

But in just 4 days, Chelsea welcomed a local amateur team in Graz.

Even if it was just a contest with amateur team, UU fans still came to the scene.

This time, Chelsea did not disappoint those who came to the scene, and Ye Qiu's team completely gained the advantage in the game.

The starting lineup is still exactly the same as in the previous game, but it is obvious that the players' condition has improved, and the players' running range and position in the game have been adjusted, so the players' cooperation with each other has also been improved.

Just minutes into the game, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball from the left and cut inside and passed the penalty area low. Drogba used his body to withstand the two defenders and shot through the opponent's goal, 0

A typical Ye Qiu attacking style, a typical Premier League start, and the game was completely included in Chelsea's control.

Following closely behind, Lampard expanded the score in the 1st minute, and then Ronaldinho also scored a goal in the 28th minute.

In the 34th and 39th minutes, Lampard scored twice and scored a hat-trick in the first half, helping the team 0 to lead. In the 43rd and 44th minutes, Macon and Ronaldinho also scored again, and the team finally ended the first half.

This made Chelsea fans who came to the scene excited. In their opinion, this is Ye Qiu's football. His offensive was tide, and his neatness and excitement were endless.

What's even more rare is that Chelsea scored 15 shots in the first half, all of which were shots within the 30-meter area and scored 7 goals, which was very efficient, but their opponents only had l-foot shots, which was still far from the goal, and did not create any threats at all.

Judging from his performance in the first half, Deco has the style of a general in the organization and planning of the midfield. Of course, this may be related to the harassment and pressure he has received; Ronaldinho's ability to take the ball in the frontcourt is absolutely amazing, even if Lampard scores the most goals, the Brazilian's performance is the most eye-catching, and almost every time he gets the ball, he will be cheered by fans.

But the goal performance only lasted halftime. In the second half, Ye Qiu made large substitutions and made different lineup attempts. Even afterwards, Joe Kerr, Van Persie and Goodjohansen scored goals one after another, helping the team defeat the opponent 10-0, but this was still unconvincing in the eyes of many people.

There is only one reason, the opponent is too weak

Ye Qiu did not deny this, but he also mentioned that Chelsea is still just a warm-up match in this game, with the focus on examining the team's tactical cooperation routines and offensive and defensive system. He doesn't think the result of the game is important at all.

"For me, it doesn't matter how much score the game is. What's important is that I see the performance and condition of the players are gradually recovering, I see the efforts and concentration of each player, and I see that we are becoming more and more like a whole."

"Ronaldinho is indeed a phenomenal player. More importantly, he knows how to help himself and his teammates score goals and play his tactical role in the team. I think this is more important than anything else; Lampard, Davis, Deco, Drogba, Marklele and other players are all very important members of the team."

"Our defense line performed very steadily in this game. I think they are very outstanding. Cannavaro performed well after appearing in the second half. He has been absent from the team training for a long time. I firmly believe that after returning from injury, he will bring more help to the team and play a greater effect."

Although I won the game, the outside world still has praise, concerns and doubts. This is not surprising. After all, it is only the preparation stage and the team has not yet achieved satisfactory results, so it is difficult to be convincing.

Just now, I defeated my opponent 10:0, and then there was an embarrassing victory of 0.

The opponent is Stuttgart from the Bundesliga, and his defense is excellent. Although Chelsea firmly controlled the game, Stuttgart did not show any omissions in the defense. In the end, he relied on the cooperation between Ronaldinho and Deco in the first half. The Brazilian relied on his personal skills to dig a loophole in the opponent's defense line and scored a goal.

The score of 0 is hard to satisfy, but Ye Qiu is still satisfied with the team's performance. As he said in an interview with reporters, "We have never let our opponents shoot more than 5 times in the past three games, which is very telling."

But some media refuted that it was because the opponent's strength was too weak, but the media supporting Chelsea believed that Chelsea was not in the best state, and believed that by the time Ye Qiu adjusted the team to its best state, Chelsea would be stronger than it is now.

The club officials also expressed their satisfaction with the team's current situation and remained unbeaten in the three warm-up matches. If there is any comment, it would be a bit unreasonable. Abramovich reiterated his trust and support for Ye Qiu through the official website.

As time goes by August, Chelsea welcomes its last warm-up match in Austria, with the opponent from Rome from Serie A.

Capello's team is currently in training in Austria | The two sides hit it off and played a warm-up match.

As a result, in this game, Ye Qiu's Chelsea defeated Capello's Roma. Capello's team became the only team that has broken Chelsea goal since the warm-up game. Unfortunately, Roma's shots only 5 times, but still failed to break Ye Qiu's data when he played against Freiburg in the first game.

Capello expressed his high recognition of Chelsea after the game, believing that this is a team with great game control.

"It's hard for me to describe that feeling, because their control is very strong, as if we were strangled by a strong and powerful arm. We tried our best to break free and tried every means to get rid of it, but we couldn't do it at all. In the end, we could only watch ourselves suffocate little by little."

"The outside world's evaluation of Chelsea is wrong. This is a very strong team. I think they can win something this season."

Ye Qiu also responded to the praise from Capello, believing that Roma's offense made him unexpected. Capello proved his coaching ability in Roma. He is indeed one of the best head coaches in European football today.

The head coaches of the two teams flatter each other and compliment each other, but the media was not interested at all. They just thought that the performance of both teams could not be satisfactory. Obviously, both sides were adjusting.

Ye Qiu and Chelsea also returned to London the day after the warm-up match.

The opponent in the third round of the Champions League qualifiers came out, Slina from Slovakia.

According to the information obtained by the scouts released by Ye Qiu, Slina is a strong team in the Slovak Super League. She has won the Slovak Super League championship for two consecutive years. She currently has absolute strength to attack the three consecutive championships, so you can't be careless.

Although it is only a team in the Slovak League, Ye Qiu did not dare to be careless at all and prepared carefully. After all, this is the first game of the new season and he has to go away again. Chelsea must be cautious to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

After returning to London, Ye Qiu analyzed and sorted out the team's performance in Austria and the training camp. Then, through meetings and reports, he distributed a report on their performance data and analysis during the training camp to each player, hoping to help them improve and adjust.

The players are generally satisfied with this because the head coach's work is very meticulous, similar to things that can make them more clear about their performance and shortcomings. Other teams are not that bad, but Ye Qiu puts great efforts and even pointed out the direction for them in the report through the coaching staff.

From returning to London in early August to playing in Slovakia on the 13th, Ye Qiu arranged a warm-up match, with his opponent from the League One, Reading, who was near London, and Chelsea went to the away game.

This is also due to the need to adjust the team's condition. After all, after the high-intensity training and! After the reserves in Austria, Chelsea had to adjust the team's condition more. Ye Qiu knew very well that the Premier League was different from other leagues and had to enter the state as soon as possible to ensure that he could stand firmer.

I still remember Arsenal head coach Wenger said, "In the Premier League, you must start well, because fans cannot allow you to play 30 minutes of poker slowly while the game is in progress, and then get to the point. They like to enjoy the exciting climax from the beginning."

For Ye Qiu, the same is true for the Premier League championship journey.

Many people say that the devil's schedule is around the Christmas holiday, and the lack of a winter break is also the biggest challenge to win the Premier League. Ye Qiu has no experience in this, and the same is true for his coaching staff. He can only learn some information left by the previous coaching staff through Chelsea, such as Ranieri's preparations for the Christmas holiday and winter break schedule, and get some experience from it.

Therefore, according to Ye Qiu's idea, he must strive for as many advantages as possible before the winter break and Christmas holidays, so as to avoid being left behind by more experienced Manchester United and Arsenal in this devilish schedule.

Therefore, Ye Qiu needs the team to enter the game as fast as possible after the start of the season.

In this away game against Reading, Ye Qiu no longer insisted on the way the main players and substitutes played separately, but was disrupted and divided into the first and second half to play. As a result, the performance of this game was not very satisfactory. Although Chelsea finally won 0, it caused Reading to create a lot of threats.

The latter also became the team that won the most chances of playing Chelsea this summer, with a total of 9 shots.

Ye Qiu was not satisfied with the game process, but it was obvious that there were many reasons, both player factors and tactical reasons. Among them, Sun Jihai, who replaced Maicon to play right back, seemed a little unconfident in front of his teammates who gathered big names. He was not decisive enough in handling the ball several times, and made mistakes, which really disappointed Ye Qiu a little.

After returning to Harrington, Ye Qiu immediately found his compatriots, beat him hard, and then greatly encouraged him, hoping that he could be more confident.

And at this moment, Eliza brought back a message to Ye Qiu, which made Ye Qiu very happy.
Chapter completed!
