After the end of this critical battle between Chelsea and Manchester United, the theory of Manchester United collapse began throughout England and even Europe. Among them, Ye Qiu's comments on Manchester United were widely circulated and recognized by countless professionals, believing that Ye Qiu's view of Manchester United was incisive and Ferguson could not argue.

But sometimes it is like this. You know the opponent's weaknesses and flaws, but this does not mean that you can defeat your opponent.

There is a saying that is right: A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If Manchester United doesn't do it, its absolute strength is still one of the best in the Premier League. It is not a powerful role that any relegation team can lose.

Ye Qiu also saw this very clearly, so after saying that, he believed that it would be effective sooner or later, so he ignored whether Manchester United would be like. This was completely useless for Chelsea, because only by playing his own game is serious.

If you don’t play your own game well, then even if others make mistakes, what kind of cheap can you get?

In the middle of the week, Chelsea welcomed its opponent in the quarterfinals of the League Cup and challenged Reading away.

Although it was a away game, it was not far from London. Ye Qiu had arranged substitutes and young players to play. Van Persie's goal helped Chelsea beat Reading 0 away and successfully advanced to the next round, with his opponent West Bromwich.

Back in the Premier League, Chelsea challenged Leeds United away.

He had just experienced a peak battle with Manchester United, and the team was affected somehow. As a result, Manchester United beat Aston Villa 40 in this round, but Chelsea drew Leeds United away. Pennant helped Leeds United first to score a goal, and Ronaldinho finally equalized the score.

Fortunately, Arsenal also drew in this game, so Chelsea's lead is still U points.

Ye Qiu was also very dissatisfied with this. After returning to London, he held a special internal meeting of the first team and beat the players who thought that they could easily defeat other teams after beating Manchester United. He used the fact that he was tied by Leeds United away and told them that there were no weak teams in the Premier League.

On the 9th of this month, Chelsea still played in Türkiye as a substitute. Van Persie and Sun Jihai's goals finally helped the team defeat Besiktas 0 away and finally qualify as the top spot in the group.

In this way, all the matches in the eight UEFA Champions League groups ended, with Chelsea and Prague Sparta qualifying as the top two in the group.

Among all the groups, Ye Qiu also pays attention to another team, his old club Ajax.

Van Basten is still a little bit tender. Although Ajax has let go of many outstanding stars such as Macon, Van der Sar, Ibrahimovic this season, Ajax's Dutch team is still there, and players such as Mascherano, Yaya Toure, Van der Fate, Robben and Sneider are still on the team.

But Ajax was eliminated in the competition with AC Milan, Celta of La Liga and Bruges and other teams, and fell to fourth place in the group. He failed to get the qualification for the League Cup, which is a very regrettable thing.

Ye Qiu didn't care about who got the first place in the group, he was concerned about the second place in the group.

I didn't know if I didn't look at it, but I was shocked when I saw it. Bayern Munich and La Coruña were both second in the group, while Lyon and Monaco, the two Ligue 1 teams, actually beat the Bundesliga class bullies and the La Liga giants, and won the first place in the group. This has to be said that the European giants seem to have encountered trouble this year.

But even so, no one wants to encounter such a powerful opponent, and Heathfield is very good at playing the knockout round.

The draw ceremony was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. Ye Qiu was busy with the league and did not participate. Peter Kenion, who had just performed his duties at Chelsea, went to Switzerland. As a result, the Bald Man made a move, which immediately brought good luck. Chelsea drew Stuttgart, who was in the same group as Manchester United but ranked second.

Manchester United encountered Porto, Real Madrid was in a bad mood, they met Bayern Munich, while Arsenal encountered Celta.

After learning about the draw results, an English reporter immediately interviewed Ye Qiu. The latter gave Stuttgart a high evaluation and believed that the team's strength was very outstanding. "They are the current leaders of the Bundesliga, surpassing Bayern Munich. It can be seen that the team's strength is extraordinary, and they are very good at home."

Ferguson's Manchester United suffered a big loss from Stuttgart away. The team played offensive football in the Bundesliga, but they also made the same mistake as Ye Qiu coached Ajax when he first participated in the Champions League. He was too persistent in the offensive, which is hard to gain in the Champions League.

Ye Qiu was not worried about meeting an opponent like Stuttgart. On the contrary, he thought the draw was good. If he unfortunately drew Bayern Munich, he would definitely cry miserably.

The good luck of the Champions League draw did not last until the team. In the 16th round of the Premier League, Chelsea welcomed Bolton at home. As a result, the Blues seemed to have exhausted all their strength in the game against Manchester United, and had two consecutive draws, and it was I again. The opponents Arsenal and Manchester United defeated their opponents one after another, and their lead was reduced to 4 points.

Ye Qiu has his own opinion on the sluggish performance of his team in the last two rounds. He believes that this is the price the team must pay to adjust their physical fitness, and adjusting their physical fitness is to better cope with the schedule of the winter break. However, he believes that this will never affect the team's stable performance on the road to winning the Premier League.

"We still have a 4-point lead right now, don't we?"

The League Cup knockout round was ushered in the middle of the week, with Chelsea challenging West Bromvic away, and the goals of Fabregas and Ribery helped Chelsea to successfully surpass the strong and reach the semi-finals, while the opponent was Middlesbrough in the Premier League.

This also made Chelsea's bench thickness and youth team rookies recognized by everyone. Van Persie, Ribery, Fabregas, Messi, Robert Hut and other players all performed well in the League Cup, and they have now become part of the team's substitute lineup and played their role.

Almost everyone believes that in time, this group of Chelsea's rookies will become the backbone of the team.

In the 17th round of the Premier League, Chelsea welcomed Fulham.

This is a derby match between London teams. The two teams are not far apart at home. With the rise of Chelsea this season, Fulham, as his neighbor, is very unwilling to accept it. Chris Coleman, the young coach who helped Ye Qiu snipe Arsenal, tried every means to snipe Chelsea.

It has to be admitted that when Fulham fought a tenacious defensive counterattack, Chelsea was difficult to make a difference, but in the end, with Drogba's goal in the 71st minute, he helped Chelsea defeat his opponent 0 away.

The feng shui changed. This time, Arsenal drew Bolton away. The latter is now in the limelight and has become a sniper for the Premier League championship contender, specifically playing against these strong teams. Wenger was helpless about this and watched his league points be pulled to U points by Chelsea again, so angry that he almost vomited blood.

After playing this round, the Premier League ushered in a short Christmas holiday.

How to spend Christmas and winter breaks?

This is obviously a trouble for La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga players, but they are having a headache about where to go on vacation.

But for Premier League teams, this is not a problem at all, because they finished the 17th round of the Premier League in Japan and welcomed the 18th round of the Premier League in the evening of the day, and the next one was the most intensive winter break schedule. They didn't have the intention to think about vacation at all.

But almost all Premier League teams will make arrangements for Christmas and winter breaks, because this is a good opportunity to communicate between clubs and players and take advantage of the festival to show their image to the outside world.

Chelsea did not miss such an opportunity, so after playing the 17th round of the league, the team went to London's most famous St. Mary's Hospital to visit the hospitalized children, and gave a small Christmas gift from the club, hoping that they could recover and be discharged as soon as possible.

Considering that the players all have to spend Christmas with their families, and the team's training has to continue from 1st to 2019, Ye Qiu negotiated with the club and decided to hold a routine dinner party in the afternoon of the day.

Chelsea has such dinner activities once a month. Ye Qiu saw the effect of this dinner activities during Ajax's coaching period. So after he came to Chelsea, he still promoted such a dinner party for players. Once a month, the location is not certain. Random arrangements can be made, either in a hotel or restaurant or at the player's home.

Because Ronaldinho had always hoped to invite players and coaching staff to his house to visit, the final agreement was that this Christmas Eve dinner before Christmas was placed in Ronaldinho's villa in Cobham.

This villa is not far from Chelsea's new training base, so the team's training ended that morning, changed clothes and took a shower. After lunch, everyone got on the team's bus and first arrived at the Cobham training base, which had been working for several months.

In order to be put into use faster, Chelsea listened to Ye Qiu's suggestion and divided the entire project into two phases. The first phase is mainly based on the team's training building and football field. The goal of this phase is to strive to complete before the start of next season, that is, the team will start daily training at the Cobham training base next season.

Ye Qiu has to admit that it is really easy to do things in this world with money, even in London, England.

Abramovich is not short of money, and the demand is fast. So in just over three months, the first-team training building of the Kobham training base has been topped off, and the walls around have been completed. The rest is the decoration and equipment purchase. I believe it will be completed within half a year, and there will be no big problem.

The entrance to the gate is divided into two roads. Walk straight to the first team training ground, and to the south is to the youth training camp training ground. The latter extends along the banks of the Moer River. The entire training base covers an area of ​​150 acres, which is very large. One third of them are used by the first team, and the rest are all for the youth team training areas.

The first-team training ground is also very abundant in terms of the stadium. In addition to the regular stadium, the first-team special venues also have small-sized stadiums and large-scale comprehensive training grounds. Unlike the Harrington training base, each training ground here has advanced drainage and geothermal systems.

This time, the first team came to the Cobham training base to observe it. Ye Qiu meant that he hoped that the players could feel the club's intentions for them. So although there was still yellow land on the youth training camp, the facilities on the first team were very complete, and the scenery of the entire training base was very beautiful. The club even introduced the river water from the Moor River to create an artificial lake.

In addition, the facilities of the training building are also luxurious. All players' dormitories are built according to the standards of five-star hotels, in order to give players the best training environment. In addition, a series of facilities such as medical rooms, gyms, swimming pools, media rooms, etc. are all available, and the functions are very complete.

In addition, the training ground is large and is located in the suburbs of Cobham. There is a complete security team set up at the intersection, which is prohibited from entering. In addition, through greening, it is difficult for anyone to spy on the team's training situation inside.

Ye Qiu was very satisfied with this training base. After walking through this trip, he could clearly feel the shock and praise of the players for the club's big money, because whether from the players' dormitory or from the software and hardware facilities of the training base, Chelsea strives for the best and most perfect.

To be honest, once this training base is completed, it will be no less than Arsenal's Kearney training base.

Ye Qiu also took this opportunity to encourage the players. After all, the team's investment is so large that it is very clear. It is hoped that in addition to creating the most comfortable and best training environment for the players, the players can also give the team a reward in performance and better defeat their opponents on the court.

Amid the players' constant admiration, the team boarded the bus again, left the Cobham training base, and headed to the mansion of Ronaldinho in Cobham.

Cobham is a place where London rich people like to live. It is close to London and has convenient transportation. Basically, the houses are single-family villas, each with independent courtyards and gardens, and they are all designed with the most British style architectural style. The only disadvantage is that they are old.

Ye Qiu had visited the house here, but in the end he did not choose to go to Cobham, but went to Totridge because the house he chose later was newly built, the architectural style was relatively modern, and many facilities were more complete, after all, it could keep up with the times.

The gardens in Ronaldinho are large and have a very good home theater, which is perfect for Brazilians who love to listen to music and watch movies.

The house is not small, a typical two and a half-story British mansion, without a garage. The first floor is the living room and Ronaldinho's mother's residence, the second floor is his brother and sister and their family, and the second floor is the home theater and Ronaldinho's bedroom.

In the Brazilian terms, the only regret of this house is that there is no swimming pool.

Because there is no garage, Ronaldinho and his family's cars are parked in the garden behind the house. The road is connected here, which is equivalent to an open-air parking lot. Their real garden is in front of the house, which is very large. Because it is prepared, when the team bus arrives and the players are noisy, it is already full of the fragrance of Brazilian barbecue.

Ronaldinho's mother and sister are both experts in cooking. They have been preparing for this dinner. As soon as the players arrive, they can directly enjoy the most delicious food. In order to accommodate the dining habits of professional players, they have carefully selected the food, and many of them are built by the club.

The guests are not only Chelsea players, but also several neighbors around them. I heard that they have helped them, and this time they were invited to have a dinner together. Many of them were chasing them to take photos with this group of Chelsea stars.

Ye Qiu also met his fans, but he was more likely to be away from the players and gathered with his coaching staff.

Because he knew very well that even if he was the head coach, he would still have the authority of the head coach in front of the players. Therefore, as long as he was there, it would be difficult for the players to let go of their hands and feet to have fun. Therefore, every time he had such a dinner, he would keep himself away from the players.

Ronaldinho's brother Assis was responsible for greeting Ye Qiu and the coaching staff, and the children who regulated the atmosphere were happy.

"By the way, Mr. Ye Qiu, is Miss Moon coming?" Ronaldinho's sister Daisy came over and asked. If she remembered correctly, Eliza Moon was also Ye Qiu's agent.

"Did you invite her?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile. He didn't know about this, so he didn't ask her.

"Of course, when we were picking up the house and moving, she gave us a lot of help. I told her a few days ago, but today the phone is always out of touch, and it's all turned off. Will something happen? It's really worrying." Daisy looked very good about Eliza, with a look of worry.

"It's okay, I'll call you to ask." Ye Qiu said with a smile.

He took out the phone and first called Eliza's private cell phone. Like him, Eliza also had two cell phones, one for business and the other for private matters. But what surprised Ye Qiu was that the mobile phone was also turned off for private matters, which was a bit unusual.

Ye Qiu frowned and called another phone to the company. However, the people from the company told him that they had not seen Eliza's shadow all day, and they were turned off the phone when they called and had lost contact all day. This made Ye Qiu feel strange. Logically speaking, this would not be the case.

After thinking about it, Ye Qiu felt that he didn't need himself here. Ronaldinho's family was entertained, and the coaching staff looked here, so there shouldn't be any major problems. So Yu Qian told Assis, then accused the players and left Ronaldinho's home early.
Chapter completed!
