Chapter 276 Lavinger Launches
“How long does it take to transform a team?”
"Ferguson has been used for 7 years, Wenger has been used for 1 year and 9 months, but Ye Qiu has been used for half a year."
"When the Scots took over Manchester United, the Red Devils were at the lowest point, and they were in trouble, but they gave him the greatest room to play; Wenger took over Highbury, and George Graham left him a world-class defense line, and two world-leading shooters, and David Dunn did not give him time and power constraints."
"But when Ye Qiu entered Stamford Bridge, Abramovich took his checkbook and squandered his oil ruble. At that time, Chelsea even made a bold statement to sign all the superstars who could sign, and Abramovich did not hide his ambition to use money to build an invincible championship team in the shortest time."
"Many people know that Abramovich didn't know football before and didn't have much interest in football, but it was Pini Zahavi's lobbying, coupled with the Russian domestic environment, which made him want to come to the UK, so he acquired Chelsea. But because he didn't know football, he needed someone who knew football to help him build a championship team."
"Someone once said that Abramovich's first choice is Ferguson and Wenger, but this rumor was denied by Abramovich. He made it clear that Ferguson and Wenger were just his idea when he wanted to acquire Manchester United and Arsenal, but his acquisition of Chelsea, from beginning to end, the head coach he wanted to recruit most was Ye Qiu. It was Ye Qiu who made him move on to acquire Chelsea, and Ye Qiu made him have a beautiful hope, that is, to use money to build a strong Chelsea and build the Blues into a new Premier League giant."
"It can be said that from the beginning, Ye Qiu came to Stamford Bridge Stadium under the pressure of being highly expected and considered to be the winner. The transfer fee is as high as 300 million euros, an unlimited salary structure, and unrestricted transfer and life-and-killing power. All of this allowed Ye Qiu to get the power that Ferguson and Wenger had won many years at Chelsea."
"Many people naturally came to the conclusion that when they saw such a huge lineup of Chelsea during the season, they had a natural conclusion that if anyone who was the head coach could win the championship, they should win the championship. When these fans said these words, they always had a tone of disdain and relaxation."
"Disdain is aimed at Ye Qiu, thinking that Ye Qiu's success is because of the huge team's lineup, and it is easy because they feel that it is natural for them to build a large number of stars to achieve good results, and the latter makes it easy for us to think of teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Inter Milan this season."
"These giant teams have proved one thing with facts, that is, with a huge star lineup, they may not be able to get corresponding results. No one in the football circle dares to equate these two options, even world-renowned coaches such as Capello, Lippi, and Ferguson cannot do it."
"Looking back, how did Chelsea's huge lineup come from?"
"Drogba is unknown in Ligue 1, Ronaldinho is famous, but he has no top league resume. Davis was thrown into the cold palace by Lippi. Everyone thinks that the Dutch has passed its peak period. Marklele is despised by Real Madrid, and no one recognizes the contribution of French midfielder. Deco is the most outstanding thing about a UEFA Cup, and he assists twice in the final."
"Evra's performance in Monaco is pretty good. Cannavaro has experienced a season of slump in Inter Milan and was questioned by Serie A team. The only ones who can be regarded as first-class stars are Macon and Van der Sar, Lampard, Terry, Jokore, Parker and other local stars from Ajax are all young people who are emerging."
"A such a lineup was not as good as this season, but not as good as this season. Who would have said that this lineup is huge and powerful? At the beginning of the season, who was not mocking Chelsea, thinking that this team spent more than 100 million euros, but in the end it formed a team that is difficult to win the championship?"
"Now, when we look back at the summer a year ago, we have to find one thing that is that Chelsea's more than 100 million euros were spent on the blade and on the practical side. Every player they brought in has contributed their own strength to the team's outstanding performance this season."
"We can't just think that it's the players' credit because of Chelsea's outstanding performance, and think that Ye Qiu is lucky. He has encountered such a huge lineup. On the contrary, we should be clear-headed. If Ye Qiu hadn't advocated introducing this group of players, would Chelsea still be today?"
"The media always likes to be sensational and always likes to provoke arguments, but we just need to take a look. Last night, the team defeated Monaco and successfully became the first team in London football history to reach the finals. All the fans were shouting Ye Qiu's name. This is enough to prove one thing. The fans' eyes are bright. They know clearly what changes have happened to the team and who brought these changes to the team."
"Last night, in downtown London, countless fans took to the streets and celebrated the team's history. This is not only a grand event for Chelsea fans, but also a grand event for London football, because Ye Qiu led Chelsea to fill the shortcomings of London football. If he can lead the team to win the championship, he will definitely become the hero of the city."
This column by Times reporter Martin Samuel was published in the Times page, and news related to Ye Qiu directly occupied the entire football front page of the Times, which shows how much this newspaper attaches importance to Ye Qiu.
In another report, Martin Samuel also mentioned some things that Ferguson said after leading Manchester United to the triple-champion, believing that Ferguson and Manchester United's experience should bring good alert to Ye Qiu and Chelsea, that is, how to adjust the team after the peak and usher in a new round of peak.
"When summarizing the reasons for Manchester United's failure this season, Ferguson mentioned that the team did not receive strong supplements in the transfer market, which led to problems in Manchester United's overall metabolism, which led to omissions in some links, and eventually led to Manchester United losing its combat effectiveness and losing the right to compete for the championship early."
"Ferguson also reminded Ye Qiu that Chelsea's peak state this season is also unsustainable, because once a team reaches its peak, it will inevitably usher in a trough. How to effectively adjust the team's structure and lineup and introduce the stimulation of fresh blood is the biggest test for Ye Qiu next."
As soon as these two reports of The Times were released, they immediately caused a huge response in London and English football. As an authoritative newspaper in the UK and Europe, the Times' analysis of Ye Qiu is fair, and it also hit the nail on the head of the question that might arise in Chelsea, which caused deep thoughts from many Blues fans.
Ye Qiu did not give his own opinions on the Times' comments. He firmly believed in doing his own thing and allowed others to comment on it.
On the contrary, on the third day after playing Monaco, the team went to Manchester and challenged Manchester United away. As a result, Chelsea, who played in half-main and half-substitute, had a tie with Manchester United away.
Even though Chelsea did a good job in ball control in this game, firmly grasped the initiative in the game situation and controlled the situation, it was still difficult to defeat Manchester United away.
Ferguson wanted to get it, but he couldn't get it. He also watched as he joined Chelsea. Ronaldinho, who showed amazing magic, used a direct arc free kick to penetrate Howard's goal. The American goalkeeper's performance in the second half was far less eye-catching than his first half.
Manchester United took advantage of an omission between Galas and Terry to equalize the score in the second half, and the two sides finally tied the l draw. In another highlight of this round, Arsenal narrowly defeated Fulham away. In the end, the Gunners successfully narrowed the gap in points, which immediately made the Premier League championship situation turn around again.
In the last round, Chelsea faced Leeds United, which had been relegated at home, while Arsenal faced Leicester City, which was also relegated at home. Neither team seemed to have much suspense, after all, the opponent's strength was indeed too weak.
Chelsea's Champions League final will be held on May, so Ye Qiu will play with all his strength in the last round. The possibility of capsizing in the home gutter is very small, so Chelsea is still the number one favorite to win the championship, while Arsenal is likely to become the most tragic runner-up in the Premier League with an unbeaten record.
And this gave Ferguson some comfort in suffering.
"You know, when a person is in trouble, as long as he sees someone more unlucky than him, he will be in a good mood." In the coach's office at Old Trafford Stadium, Ferguson made a special trip to invite Ye Qiu over for a drink.
Ye Qiu was not interested in drinking, but Ferguson invited him warmly, and it would be too disrespectful to refuse. However, he always felt that Ferguson, a cunning guy, had a terrible eyeball, as if he was playing some conspiracy.
"Don't worry, I will convey this to Wenger knows," Ye Qiu said for granted.
Ferguson wanted to laugh out loud, and wanted to scold Ye Qiu for being so flirting with him, but in the end he held back and nodded, "Okay, don't let Arsenal turn over, remember, you have to win the last round."
Manchester United's performance this season is indeed very bad. Many people even say that this is the worst year for Ferguson's coaching performance in more than ten years since the 1990s season, because they lost too many games, which led to them losing the right to compete for the championship early on.
However, Martin Samuel of the Times defended Ferguson, believing that Manchester United is in the adjustment stage and it is understandable that it is bad, but the problem is that the performance of the two major competitors Chelsea and Arsenal are too eye-catching and outstanding. One rises and the other falls, which makes Manchester United look too bad.
Ye Qiu didn't expect that Martin Samuel was quite fraternal, not only supporting himself, but also supporting Ferguson, but this is very consistent with his impression in the minds of English fans. He is neutral and speaks frankly.
Maybe it was because Manchester United's performance was too bad, so Ferguson was trying to pull his arch-rival.
Of course, there is another reason here, that is, the two of them have been fighting for Barcelona's young midfielder Gerald Pique recently, and in the end it seems that Manchester United has gained the upper hand, as if they are about to reach an agreement with Pique.
Ye Qiu has a good impression of this young player. Although he thinks that Pique is more suitable for the Barcelona ball-controlling genre in Guardiola in his previous life, in general, he is a star of hope. However, there is already Robert Hut in Chelsea, and it is not very effective to introduce a new star in the central defender.
Although Ye Qiu knew very well that Robert Hutt in his previous life failed to play the level that everyone expected, this does not mean that he is not good now. Besides, from Ranieri to Ye Qiu, Robert Hutt was all hoped and got a lot of opportunities for training. His level improved very quickly. If Pique is introduced now, it will damage Hutt's confidence on the one hand and will also bring some unnecessary ideas to other young players in the team.
Even if Pique's friends Messi and Fabregas are not worried that one day Ye Qiu will introduce another rookie who is in the same position as them, and he may follow Hute's footsteps?
Based on many factors, Ye Qiu finally decided not to take action against Pique, otherwise he would have taken action long ago.
"You made a special trip to invite me to drink. You probably wouldn't just want to tell me this, right?" Some thoughts flashed through Ye Qiu's mind and sorted out his thoughts. He felt that Ferguson wouldn't just want to invite himself to drink.
Ferguson smiled after hearing this, "You know, I want a right winger. Cristiano Ronaldo has talent, but there are many problems. I want to know, have you ever considered transferring Ribery?"
Frank Ribery was still moving bricks a year ago, and a year later, he was already a well-known player in the Premier League. Although he couldn't be said to be very famous, he still couldn't reach the reputation of Joe Cole and Parker for the time being, in the eyes of many people, Ribery is undoubtedly a type of good quality and cheap. He is not very famous, but has strong strength and excellent talent.
It's not a big deal for Ye Qiu, because the team's 43l game this season was smooth, and Ribery is more like a substitute in Ye Qiu's hands. Although she performed well, she also entered the national team training camp, but that is more of the purpose of examining the players. So overall, Ribery is not very famous in Chelsea.
Generally speaking, the transfer fee for this type of player is at most three to five million euros.
"Do you think it's possible?" Ye Qiu wondered, is Ferguson so stupid? He poached directly in front of him?
According to Ye Qiu's transfer ideas, even if the player transfer is let go, he will basically not be allowed to transfer to the Premier League competitor. What's more, Ribery is always the best candidate for the right winger in his heart. He is even considering giving Ribery more burdens in the next season.
Ferguson is a savage. When he heard Ye Qiu's voice over, he immediately guessed Ye Qiu's thoughts and got the answer he wanted. He nodded and smiled and said, "It seems that the news about you want to introduce Robben and Rooney is fake."
Ye Qiu was stunned and immediately realized that he was being trapped by Ferguson.
Chelsea's midfield lineup is actually quite good. Drogba, Goodjohansen and Van Persie can all play in the middle, and the two players behind are also versatile. Ronaldinho, Ribery, Messi and Joe Cole can play on both sides, and there is also Davis who can play on the left and right sides.
The midfielders include Marklele, Deco, Lampard, Fabregas, Davis, Parker and Jocole, who can also play in the middle of the midfield. In addition, Chelsea has a loan at Paris Saint-Germain for one year, Garner's midfielder has a labor certificate to join the Premier League. In this way, Chelsea's midfielder is full of talents.
There have been media reports that Chelsea wanted to get Irving Hargreaves. The midfielder performed well in Bayern Munich and hoped to return to the Premier League. Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool were interested in him, but as long as he saw Chelsea's midfield lineup, he basically wouldn't expect Ye Qiu to continue to sign.
A team does not mean that the larger the lineup, the better, but that it needs to have a rationality, because your lineup is too large and players don’t get the chance to play, then they will feel dissatisfied. Over time, they will be mines in the locker room.
Ye Qiu always felt that the first team's player lineup is the most reasonable, and each position is guaranteed to compete with two players. In addition to two or three versatile players, the overall lineup of the team is already very large.
It is because of this that Ye Qiu never thought of Pique. But now it seems that Ferguson seems to want to attack Robben. As for Everton's Rooney, he has long been Ferguson's Chinese food in his eyes. Manchester United almost introduced this genius last year.
"You said it right. I really didn't consider Robben, but I would like to advise you, don't be stingy if you want to get Robben." Ye Qiu said with a smile. Now there are many teams that like Ajax and Barcelona. Real Madrid and Barcelona are undoubtedly the teams that most eager to get Robben and Van der Fate. Real Madrid's body proposed to directly package them and Sneijder.
Of course, Ferguson knows it is not easy. Not to mention that Manchester United is in a bad situation now, just the transfer fee is enough for Manchester United to prepare for a while. This is also why Ferguson was petty about Ronaldinho's transfer issue last year.
But as long as Chelsea’s idea is clear, he will lose a strong rival.
You know, Ye Qiu is Robben's mentor. If Ye Qiu calls Robben at Chelsea, then with the master-disciple friendship between Ye Qiu and Robben, the latter will almost certainly join the Blues.
But what Ferguson didn't know was that Ye Qiu himself knew very well that there was already a Ronaldinho who was not very active in counter-attack in the frontcourt. If Robben, who was not very active in pressing, then after losing Davis, Chelsea's midfield and frontcourt alone would be a bit weak based on Lampard, Deco and Marklele.
Ribery is not as strong as Robben now, but his victory lies in his fighting spirit, willingness to fight and tenacious enough, so the French are the best candidates. After all, a truly powerful team is a reasonable team, not a team with a huge star lineup.
Otherwise, Real Madrid would not have fallen to this level this year, and Inter Milan would not have been called a star black hole.
