Chapter 239 The Tragedy of the Rebels
When Ye Qiu appeared outside the Grimalti Convention Center in Monaco, a burst of cheers from fans suddenly rang out of the scene.
This season just joined Chelsea in the Premier League. At the beginning of the season, he scored the best four-game winning streak in Chelsea's history, shocking the entire English football world and making the whole world feel his excellent coaching ability.
Although many people admit that Chelsea's strength comes from the strength of the players, as Martin Samuel of the Times said, "We should not forget that Ye Qiu brought this group of players to Chelsea, and he also combined the team into such a strong whole."
The four major leagues are the four major leagues, and their influence is completely incomparable to the time when they were in the Eredivisie. Ye Qiu's current popularity and influence have long been with the wedding this summer, the competition between the wealthy families, and the ups and downs of Chelsea in the transfer market, which has completely entered the ranks of famous European coaches.
Even if someone questioned him, he was still rising too fast.
It has only been more than four years since his debut, but he has been vaguely entering the ranks of famous European coaches. It is indeed fast. It should be considered that even now he is only P-year-old and is too young.
But nowadays, the fans don’t care about you. The most important thing for them is novelty. Isn’t it good to be young? There is only one person in the world. For fans who like Ye Qiu, what they like is a unique person, which is very good
Ye Qiu kept dealing with the enthusiastic fans and walked into the Grimalti Conference Center, where the head coaches and club management of European football teams participating in the Champions League group stage and 8 teams participating in the first round of the League Cup knockout round were already gathered. The entire venue was crowded with people and was very lively.
Although Ye Qiu has risen rapidly in Europe in recent years, when it comes to influence and interpersonal relationships, he is far inferior to an old fox like Ferguson and others. So as soon as he entered the venue, he immediately looked around and thought that he should look for an acquaintance.
After finally seeing Van Basten in the crowd, Ye Qiu also planned to talk to him about the matter of Marcelo and Thiago Silva's two Brazilian defenders in Ajax. You should know that Eliza bought out the ownership of these two people, so he naturally had to talk to Van Basten, otherwise Eliza would have to trouble Ye Qiu if she lost money.
"Ye Qiu, here"
Just when Ye Qiu was about to walk over to find Van Basten, he heard someone calling him not far away, and Ferguson raised his hand and shouted.
Ye Qiu frowned. Is this old guy looking for him for no reason? And it's not just Ferguson, Wenger and Newcastle's Bobby Robson, Liverpool's Hollier, Blackburn's Sones and Manchester City's Keegan are all there.
This is because all the head coaches who participated in this lottery ceremony in the Premier League this season actually met here. Ye Qiu instinctively realized that something must have happened.
When he walked over, Ye Qiu also felt that these guys looked at him in different ways, envy, jealousy and resentment. For example, Ferguson was snatched away by Ye Qiu and was very angry now. There were also people like Sonez, who had just been slaughtered by Ye Qiu, and now he wanted to kill him.
As for Wenger's neighbor, Ye Qiu had a premonition, and he probably would have the urge to stab him to death with a knife soon.
"Everything is here," Ye Qiu smiled faintly, saying hello together.
Ferguson and Wenger are vaguely the bosses of all the head coaches in the Premier League, which is also related to their deepest qualifications and the strongest team they are in. The other is Bobby Robson, who is also a veteran, but unfortunately, Newcastle finally defeated Liverpool and qualified for the Champions League, but could not pass the qualifiers. Sometimes it makes people feel sad when they think about it.
"We want to take this opportunity to discuss something. If everyone has no objection, then I will initiate it and send appeals and applications to the Premier League, Football Association and the Ministry of Labor." Ferguson became the leader unswervingly.
This old guy likes to seize the initiative in everything, but it is undeniable that Wenger really can't compete with him in this matter.
"I think the current labor certificate regulations are too strict and are very unfavorable to us, because the current football environment will pay more and more attention to youth training players, and the signs of internationalization are becoming more and more obvious, but the existence of labor certificates has become our biggest restriction and constraint."
When Ferguson said, Ye Qiu immediately understood that this was to apply for a special genius clause.
He also heard of this in his previous life. Everyone said that after Ferguson failed to introduce players such as Ronaldinho, Macon, Kaka, etc., he directly bombarded the Football Association and the Ministry of Labor, believing that it was the damn labor certificate that caused the Premier League team to lose Ronaldinho, Macon and Kaka, which restricted the development of the Premier League, and finally gave birth to a special genius clause.
The so-called special genius clause is very heavy. A Premier League team only allows one place in a year. Whether you can pass a hearing will also test the team's public relations level and the prestige of the head coach. It is not that anyone who says he is a genius, but those men admit that he is a genius and need a hearing.
But for strong teams, there are basically no problems. For example, Wenger, almost every year, relies on special genius terms.
This also reminded Ye Qiu that he had heard in his previous life that some Premier League teams wanted to introduce domestic players, but were limited by labor certificates. To put it bluntly, they still didn't pay enough attention to you. If they really valued it, they would use special genius terms for you.
It's like De Nelson Jr., this Brazilian midfielder hasn't played any game at all in China, but Wenger likes him and takes him to the Premier League directly without a labor certificate. He directly uses special genius terms, uses relationships, and makes public relations around, and passes directly. It's so smooth that it's outrageous.
Of course, this is a wealthy family, and it will be relatively difficult for mid- and lower-level teams, but it is still OK if you really pay attention to it.
In general, Ye Qiu felt that having such a clause was indeed a good thing, and he could use it.
"What do you think?" Ferguson asked Ye Qiu.
He obviously had communication with Wenger. These two guys are definitely not as bad as the outside world said. At least they are both Premier League giants and still have many common languages. Many things need to be communicated and coordinated with each other. Ferguson asked Ye Qiu's opinions at this moment, which obviously recognized Ye Qiu and Chelsea's status in the Premier League.
Anyway, they are now winning four consecutive games, ranking first in the standings, and just won the Champions League, and are in the limelight.
"I fully agree, but I think it will be very troublesome if I ask for a change in the labor certificate. It would be better to call on them to establish a special genius clause that allows us to absorb players with excellent potential from outside and have not proved their strength to join." Ye Qiu suggested according to his memories of his previous life.
The problem of labor certificates involves a very wide range of issues, not only football and the Football Association, but may even affect the British government. Maybe it will cause even more trouble by then, which is impossible. It is better to be realistic and stop when the goal is achieved.
"Special genius clause?" Ferguson and Wenger both moved.
Ye Qiu talked about the terms according to his memories of his previous life, and then introduced the process, such as hearings.
"This is very likely to be achieved," Bobby Robson nodded in agreement.
To be honest, everyone said they wanted to modify their labor certificates before, but they were not sure. They just wanted to make a sound and make a fuss to prove that children who would cry and make a fuss have milk. But now if they really follow Ye Qiu's statement, the possibility of success is very high.
Besides, Premier League teams now attach importance to youth training | The players introduced are gradually getting younger. There are so many players of low-age age groups introduced every year. Give one quota a year, which can also ensure that the team will not waste it casually and ensure the potential and talent of the players introduced.
"Okay, if everyone has no objection, then we'll just say that." Ferguson is also a very fragile person.
After the negotiations were made, everyone dispersed.
Almost every time these people meet, they are opponents. With you and without me, who will really have a heart-to-heart relationship with each other?
Originally, Ye Qiu wanted to go to Van Basten to talk about it, but the lottery ceremony began at this breakup meeting.
Like in previous years, the Champions League group draw, the knockout draw of the League Cup, and the UEFA annual awards were all achieved tonight. As Chelsea, whose results have been firmly at the forefront of the Premier League in recent years, UEFA's points ranking is good and was ranked in the second level.
Even though Ye Qiu just won a Champions League last year, he did not hide his covetousness for the Champions League, because he had already tasted the sweetness of winning the Champions League, which almost made his influence soar like a Rockets.
Without further ado, just for those sponsors who are following his name, it is enough for Ye Qiu to receive a huge amount of sponsorship income every year. Moreover, he does not usually do anything, just authorize his name, which is really a huge profit.
However, it is hard to say that you want to win the Champions League at any time. The right time, place and people are indispensable, and you have to have some luck.
The teams in the first place are Real Madrid, AC Milan, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Ajax, Juventus and Lazio. Lazio beat Inter Milan to enter the first place seed team, which is indeed a bit surprising. The latter's strength in recent years has obviously not been as strong as the beginning of the century. Stam left this summer, and his strength has been greatly weakened and is regarded as the weakest team in the first place.
Ye Qiu's luck is undoubtedly excellent, because Chelsea, who is the second-level team, was directly drawn to Lazio.
This made the guy who took advantage of the situation laugh from ear to ear and did not hide his satisfaction with the sign.
The third team draws out Sparta Prague, which directly avoids teams with strong strength such as Marseille, Celtics, Eindhoven; the fourth team avoids Stuttgart, Real Sociedad, Monaco and other teams, and draws Besiktas. Such a good draw really makes Ye Qiu dream.
"We are so cheap?" Ye Qiu asked himself in his heart.
From the perspective of the cards, Chelsea is definitely the undisputed strongest team in this group. Unless Ye Qiu capsizes in the gutter, it is almost certain to qualify from the group.
Sparta Prague and Besiktas are not strong enough to shake Chelsea. Lazio's strength has been greatly weakened in the past two years. Compared with Chelsea, which is strong, there is no doubt that it is at an absolute disadvantage, so Chelsea's first group can almost be said to have been booked.
Of course, this is just from the perspective of the cards. The game is very complicated and you must not be careless. But this draw is indeed the lucky draw in all groups, so everyone shouted that Chelsea was lucky.
Ye Qiu was really flattered by this, but he quickly calmed down his mood. Anyway, the lottery had already come out and there was no way to change it. What was going on? I'll talk about it if I encountered it.
After the lottery ceremony, the next thing that will be held is UEFA's best selection of the year.
This award has always been a ban on major wealthy families. Even though Ajax won the Champions League last year, it is still impossible to change this situation. The biggest winner is still the group of wealthy families.
The striker of the year was given to Manchester United's Van Nistrui. He scored a goal in the Champions League last year and became the Champions League best scorer. He also won the award for the best striker in Europe this year. Even if Manchester United does not have much persuasiveness in the Champions League, Van Nistrui's strength is still worthy of recognition.
The best midfielder of the year gave Juventus' Nedved, which was expected. The Czechs performed very well last season. They were very good in the Champions League or in the club, and they were very strong. It can be said that it was his peak year.
Some people may question whether Manchester United and Juventus did not reach the finals in the Champions League, and it is unreasonable for players to win awards, but in fact, the performance of Real Madrid players in the two teams that reached the finals was generally not very eye-catching, especially in that final, which was very deducted points. In addition, the team's offense and weak defense always gave people a feeling of not being steady enough.
The biggest obstacle for Ajax is that the team is all small-branded stars, and there are no big-branded stars. Usually, those who win these awards are basically big-branded. UEFA rarely awards these awards to stars who are not famous. This is Ajax's biggest weakness, and in the end, Ajax only won a fair competition award.
The best defender of the year is Real Madrid's Robert Carlos, which is also controversial, because the performance of the Brazilian left-back last year was not satisfactory, but his winnings of this award in succession is indeed a bit of objection.
The goalkeeper of the year is Real Madrid's Casillas, but the most valuable player in Europe is given to Juventus's Buffon, AC Milan's captain Martini won the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Makai, who transferred to Bayern Munich, won the European Golden Boot Award. However, Makai's popularity is still under Van Nistruei, which is a temporary highlight.
The competition for the best coach of the year is also fierce. Ye Qiu, Bosque, Mourinho, Ancelotti and Lippi are all popular candidates.
When it comes to Ye Qiu, the most prominent results are the UEFA Champions League champion, the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup champion. Moreover, this championship of Ajax is not a prank. He defeated a group of giant teams along the way and ended up. There are even media rumors that UEFA's plan to kill Ajax has been declared unsuccessful.
The results are enough, but the problem is that Ye Qiu, the disruptor, doesn't seem to be favored by the award.
Mourinho's performance is also very good, the League Cup champion, Portugal's double champion, and the same triple champion, but Mourinho's weight is obviously inferior to Ye Qiu. How can the League Cup be compared with the European Champions League?
Bosque and Lippi are also very popular, but Ancelotti is empty-handed, but AC Milan's performance is indeed good. From this point of view, it seems that Ye Qiu is more likely to win the award, because according to the principle of looking at the Champions League in odd years, Ye Qiu should indeed win it.
But in the end, this award was given to Jose Mourinho, who won the League Cup. This not only surprised and disappointed Ye Qiu, but also caused an uproar among everyone in the audience. No one expected that he would give it to Mourinho.
The only thing Mourinho can do now is the League Cup championship. But the problem is that when Ye Qiu won the League Cup, the best coach of the year gave Heathfield, the European Champions League champion. Now the situation is the opposite. It is also a few years, the League Cup and the Championship Cup, but UEFA gave the Best Coach of the Year to the League Cup champion.
There are indeed many interesting places here
When Ye Qiu heard the host shout out Mourinho's name, he smiled bitterly because he felt that the good sign just now might be the carrot thrown out by UEFA. He would first give you a taste of the sweetness, but now he would give you a blow to let you understand what rules are.
As rule makers, executors and arbitrators, they can play whatever they like, and who can say no?
Ye Qiu has always had a broad mindset about whether to win the prize or not. But it would be too hypocritical if he didn't want to win it, so he wanted to win it, so he obviously should get it now, but in the end he couldn't get it. Naturally, he wouldn't be happy and his face was a little heavy.
So much so that after the award ceremony, Ye Qiu left the conference center directly and did not accept interviews from those reporters as usual. He is not very happy now and does not like to be entangled by reporters.
It’s very simple. Now the gossipers must ask him about the awards. Don’t you point to the monk and scold the bald man?
Ye Qiu didn't have the tendency to make himself unhappy, so he left the conference center directly.
Fortunately, just as he returned to London from Monaco overnight, Eliza Moon finally brought him two people he had always wanted to meet.
After Eliza took them to visit the Stamford Bridge Stadium, Ye Qiu met the two people at the Harrington Training Base and had an in-depth conversation in the office.
