Chapter 279 King and Domineering

"Look at that slogan, you will understand how excited we are at this moment."

After the game, amid the cheers of the sky, as the team's captain, John Terry and Lampard came to the comprehensive interview area to be interviewed by media and journalists from all over the world gathered here, and now they are pointing at a slogan pulled out from the stands opposite the home team's coaching seat.

"All Blues fans, have any of you seen Chelsea win the league with your own eyes?"

This slogan is full of bitterness, tears, and full of all Chelsea fans' love for this team. Even though half a century has passed, even if more and more new fans have been in the arms of this team, no one has changed their enthusiasm and support for Chelsea.

"This game does not require mobilization for all Chelsea players. We didn't even mobilize before the game. We just said, I believe that you can create history today and win the championship. This sentence makes all of us feel that the blood is constantly heating up, boiling, and burning."

John Terry looked very excited. This was his first season as the captain. After becoming the captain, he led the team to the league championship and even had hope to compete for the European Champions League. All of this was like dreaming for him, and the one who gave him the right to dream was Ye Qiu.

"I remember that when the game was about to end, a very touching scene appeared on the scene. All Chelsea substitutes and players who failed to appear on the roster stood in a row on the sidelines, all wearing scarves. Did you arrange this before?" asked a British reporter.

Terry and Lampard can be said to be inseparable friends in Chelsea, and they are the team's chief and deputy captain. Both of them smiled after looking at each other, and Lampard will answer this question.

"Yes, but there was no force, but all the players participated because it was a very dreamy occasion for us. We all hoped that all our teammates would be together because we fought side by side to this day."

"Where is your head coach, Ye Qiu?" another reporter asked with a smile.

Terry and Lampard looked at each other again, Terry said: "Ye Qiu is a very magical person. We don't know how to praise him. He was very great to us all the season, we all respect him very much, and he is also very smart. He can always remove pressure for us and lead us to solve all difficulties."

"To be honest, we knew nothing about him before the season, we didn't know him at all, we just knew that he led Ajax to the Champions League, but when I first met him, I knew that he was a very good head coach. He was different from all the head coaches we used to be. He was full of desire for victory and championships."

"What do you say?" asked the reporter who asked.

Terry shrugged, "I remember when I first saw him, he asked me what honors I hope to win. I told him that we have not won the Premier League in many years. He told me that we will win this season and that I hope I can convey his words and his confidence to the players."

"So, look, what an incredible thing we have won the Premier League title now"

"What about you? Frank, what did you say when he first met Ye Qiu?"

Lampard smiled, "He told me that he had the confidence to win everything, but we needed our full support, and I promised him that I would do my best to cooperate with him, so we cooperated well throughout the season and finally we won the Premier League championship."

The reporters carefully recorded every word that the two captains of Chelsea said, because these will become tomorrow's newspaper news. It is expected that tomorrow, almost the entire European and even the whole world will publish news that Chelsea won the Premier League championship with an unbeaten record.

"This season's Premier League is called the most competitive season in recent years by many people. Chelsea and Arsenal remain unbeaten, but Chelsea won the championship with one more victory. In the eyes of many people, what makes Chelsea better than Arsenal is that your psychology and condition are adjusted better. Is there any way?"

Terry and Lampard thought about it and thought they could answer the question appropriately, so Terry came forward.

"What impressed me deeply was that in September, we were running back and forth between the national team games, and the two-line battles between the league and the Champions League, and we were very tired. At that time, we told us that for professional players who have experienced sufficient physical reserves before the season, fatigue is a psychological problem, not a physical problem."

"He told us that if you have faith in victory and desire for championships, you will think about trying to win every game without having extra thoughts to think about fatigue. So, when you feel tired and want to rest, tell yourself that if you stick to it, we can win everything."

Lampard nodded, "In fact, I have played almost all the games this season. I think physical fitness is not a problem. The real problem is indeed psychology. As long as we can overcome this aspect of psychology, we can persevere."

Just as the two captains answered reporters' questions, Chelsea's players' families walked into Stamford Bridge Stadium one after another. This is also a routine for the team to win the championship, that is, let the players' families accompany the players to share the joy of winning the championship.

Lampard and Terry's relatives and friends all came to the scene, and the interview was almost done, so they accused the reporters, left the comprehensive interview area, and walked towards their families.

The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge Stadium has become very warm because of the appearance of the family members of these players. The stadium staff are speeding up to build the podium. At that time, two Chelsea veterans will come out with the trophy and present it to the team's captain Terry. After that, everyone will celebrate the championship in this stadium.

Because after the last round of Premier League, there is still a lot of time to go to the Champions League, Chelsea will hold a grand championship parade in the evening. This is the result of the club's discussion with the London Council, as well as several district councils such as Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea. The team will hold a championship parade around Stamford Bridge Stadium.

In the downtown London, where every inch of land is valuable, it is not easy to find a space that enough teams can celebrate. Moreover, as an international metropolis, London's traffic is already congested. If Chelsea wants to march to celebrate, the road will have to be closed. Both the city council and the district council have to consider the impact.

But in the end, after Chelsea's coordination, the team's championship celebration parade will be relatively small, limited to the surrounding areas such as Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea. Departing from Stamford Bridge and ending at Parsons Green Park, the team will hold celebrations at Parsons Green Park. The city council and district council have determined the parade route table in advance and announced it to the public.

And this celebration will undoubtedly be a festival for Chelsea fans

Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines and silently watched the players celebrating wildly on the stadium. The players' families and children also became a unique landscape on the stadium, which made Ye Qiu involuntarily think of Huang Chu and Eliza. Huang Chu came to the scene tonight, but she refused to enter the venue. Ye Qiu didn't even know where she was sitting, and he couldn't find it after looking up several times.

Eliza is busy in San Francisco. She wants to participate in the Champions League final, so many things have to be arranged in advance. In addition, there have been many things recently, so she can only choose one of them and choose to participate in the Champions League final and give up this game.

Perhaps because of standing on the sidelines, Ye Qiu felt like a bystander, so he could see more clearly.

Chelsea, from the boss to the fans, are hungry for the championship, but from this point, we can see that there is still a big gap between Chelsea and Manchester United and teams like Arsenal, especially in software.

With Abramovich's assets and big investments, Chelsea was able to form a powerful lineup in a short period of time and quickly build the most advanced hardware equipment, but some things are not enough for money.

From China, Ye Qiu knows the difference between kingly and domineering.

The so-called dominance is somewhat similar to a peasant uprising. It has more or less a revolutionary temperament, kills people and bleeds, and takes it as its responsibility to subvert order. However, in the end, such a role will not end up in the end without changing one's image and strategy. This is also the reason why many famous uprisings in history fail in the end.

Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang were able to go from the uprising to the establishment of a dynasty because they both chose another path in the end.

It can be said that they started their business by domineering and presented themselves as subversive people, but that was just an early accumulation, because using this method of despising authority can adopt a more rapid, direct and brittle way to commit bloody killing without moral constraints.

But after they accumulate to a certain level, they will have to transform from domineering to a kingly way.

The world is the world of most people. If you want long-term stability, you must integrate into the world of most people, win the recognition and affirmation of most people, bid farewell to the wild grassroots of the domineering period, put away the spirit of contempt for authority, and cultivate your own moral integrity. This is the kingly way.

Domineering is very happy, but it cannot last. The kingly way sometimes looks depressed and the road is even more difficult to walk, but the advantage lies in sustainability.

The path Chelsea has taken this season is domineering. From poaching by any means to creating disputes and discussions between Chelsea and giant teams, these are all methods that domineering is good at. Inevitably, these have also made Chelsea the target of many giant teams competing for attack.

Not long ago, Peter Kenyon wanted to bring Chelsea into Gl4 but ended up in vain.

Although Chelsea attracted sponsors like Samsung and became a big income player with sponsorship fees exceeding Manchester United and Arsenal, the club's business is not as good as the outside world imagined. Peter Kenyon once mentioned that real big brands will seriously consider the influence when sponsoring Chelsea, so their jersey is still Umbro.

If Chelsea wants to integrate into European football and English football, they must change their arrogance of nouveau riche image, establish their own image as a wealthy family, and persist in protecting and enhancing this image.

It was like Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty. If there were no three rules when he entered Guanzhong, and if he had not tried hard to shape his positive image in the middle and late periods, it was still unknown whether he could defeat Xiang Yu in the end.

This principle also applies to football. When you offend all wealthy families, it is difficult for you to gain a foothold.

Maybe you can say, I have money, what are you afraid of? But the question is, do you have a way to ensure that Abramovich keeps investing like last year? Who can guarantee that Abramovich will not suddenly announce his intention to lock down money?

By then, what should Chelsea do? How to gain a foothold?

Ye Qiu and Peter Kenion have both clear and consistent ideas, that is, after winning the championship, Chelsea must change its transfer strategy and recruitment practices, no longer poach from the giant teams, try to introduce some powerful potential stars, get rid of Abramovich's blood transfusions, and improve its own hematopoietic function. This is the basis for building Chelsea into a giant.

But the problem is, his thinking does not mean that Abramovich also thinks so.

When Ye Qiu saw Abramovich and Pini Zahavi walk out of the player channel together, his original good mood plummeted. He didn't like to see the Israelis, and believed that the latter's view of Ye Qiu was the same.

"Congratulations, our champion coach" Abramovich looked very happy and spoke with a little alcoholic smell. "I just drank a whole bottle of champagne in the private room. We will continue to drink later. Remember, don't run away."

It seemed that he was a little drunk, Ye Qiu smiled and nodded in agreement. Anyway, everyone knew that he couldn't drink much wine and wouldn't deliberately feed him, even though he agreed, it would be fine.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ye Qiu, you are really the veritable godfather of the champion. You will win the championship as soon as you come." Pini Zahavi stretched out his hand to Ye Qiu without a smile, and Ye Qiu shook hands politely.

Ye Qiu himself didn't know when the two started to have a quarrel. Perhaps it was when Pini Zahavi revealed in private that he hoped Ye Qiu could support him in introducing Peron and Crespo. The Israelis did not serve at Chelsea at all, but he was Abramovich's close friend and would have a certain influence on Chelsea's transfer.

But Ye Qiu finally rejected his suggestion and did not introduce Peron and Crespo. However, for all reasons, Ye Qiu finally introduced Jokol and Parker, which was also a little compensation for Pini Zahavi. But it was obvious that the Israelis were not satisfied with Ye Qiu's compensation and concessions because he did not get anything from the transfer of the two.

"This championship is the beginning of the Chelsea era"

When Ye Qiu shook hands with Pini Zahavi, a reporter appeared from somewhere and found Abramovich, who rarely appeared in public, and interviewed the Russian rich man.

"We have a long-term plan for the club. In the past, many people have paid too much attention to Chelsea's investment and fiscal expenditure, but this is a pre-stage plan, just to allow Chelsea to compete with the Premier League and the top teams in Europe as soon as possible. But it turns out that we have the best players and the best head coach, so we won the championship."

"Here, I can also assure all fans that we have waited for this championship for 50 years, but I am confident that the next championship will not be so long. We will continue to make high-quality signings to the team's weak position. We will continue to invest in the team. I hope to build the team into an invincible lion in the shortest time."

Perhaps because of drinking, Abramovich spoke very imposingly, domineeringly and resoundingly today.

When the reporter asked about the signing positions Abramovich was interested in, the Russian pointed out two positions, one was the center and the other was the central defender, and he promised that the signings in both positions would be world-class superstars.

For a long time, not only Abramovich, but also many Chelsea fans and some professionals have complained about Drogba's scoring ability, but also many Chelsea fans and some professionals, believing that Ye Qiu should not have such high expectations for this brave but insufficiently accurate Côte d'Ivoire, but should introduce a more powerful and productive scorer.

Ye Qiu defended this, saying that Drogba is a very important part of the team's tactical system. Although he has some shortcomings, it is not enough to be fatal. Moreover, Drogba is also constantly improving, but other scorers do not have some of Drogba's tactical characteristics, such as his diligence and courage, and his forward dominance.

As for the central defender, Davis' form has declined, while Ye Qiu's plan is to change the lineup and straighten Ribery. With Messi and Joe Kerr and other substitutes, Chelsea is fully capable of continuing to fight in the Premier League and European arenas.

But the outside world is more about connecting stars such as Barack, Nedved, Gerrard and Chelsea, believing that introducing these stars can fill Davis' flaws, but in Ye Qiu's opinion, let's put aside whether this problem can be filled, just for one thing. If Chelsea still plays 4I, will the effect be as good as this season?

You know, in the first year, people are not familiar with each other, and in the second year, you still fight like this, and there is no change or progress at all, so people will understand you

Moreover, Ye Qiu arranged for Davis, Deco and Marklele to form three midfielders, in fact, for safety and security. However, after a season of exploration and familiarity, Ye Qiu deeply believed that Deco and Marklele, plus Lampard and Drogba in front, Chelsea's midfield and frontcourt compression tactics are fully capable of adding a wing assaulter.

But Ye Qiu's idea is obviously different from Abramovich's idea. The latter's idea is obvious, that is, to replace Drogba with Shevchenko or Henry, and then choose one between Barack, Nedved and Gerrard to fill Davis' gap. In this way, Chelsea's lineup will be larger than this season.

But Ye Qiu knew very well that the tactical system was not so simple to play filler games, but to consider more and more complex relationships.

Now, after hearing Abramovich's statement in an interview with reporters, Ye Qiu frowned and felt that the differences between him and Abramovich seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. The latter is moving further and further on the road of domineering, enjoying the pleasure brought by domineering and squandering money, but forgetting to deploy the future.

"By the way" Pini Zahavi took Ye Qiu's expression and felt very comfortable, because this encounter between Abramovich and the reporter was actually arranged by him. "Shevchenko has personally promised and agreed to Roman that as long as he negotiated with AC Milan, he would transfer to Stamford Bridge."

"What?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised. Why didn't he know?
