When Ye Qiu walked into the press conference hall of Cobham Training Base, a strong spotlight flashed at the scene.

Dozens of media outlets who received invitations from Chelsea attended the press conference. They not only came here to witness the results of Chelsea's transfer, but also witnessed the official launch of Chelsea's five-star Cobham training base.

Strictly speaking, the Cobham Training Base has only completed the construction of the first-team training area in the north, and will continue to invest in the construction of the youth training camp base in the south, but the facilities that should be available in various training bases such as parking lots, training buildings, training grounds, security rooms, etc. are very complete.

The first team's training ground has four pieces of training turf, two of which are standard-sized training grounds. There are also several small-sized training grounds around these two fields. In addition, the Kobham Training Base also has a large-scale comprehensive training ground, which is also the most used field for first-team training on weekdays.

There is a training building and a dedicated parking lot for the first team in the middle of the standard training ground and the comprehensive training ground. In the north of the training tower, there is a half-court training ground. The larger training ground has a total of 4 pieces, and all of them have geothermal and drainage systems. The only thing that Ye Qiu is not very satisfied with is that there is no indoor training ground.

You know, it is indeed inconvenient to have rainy London, snowy winters, and there is no indoor training ground.

Of course, there is the best indoor training ground, and there is no big problem if there is no, but considering that Manchester United's Carrington and Arsenal's Kearney are both, if Chelsea doesn't, it seems to be a bit inferior to their opponents.

Ye Qiu was very content with this because he had worked in the extremely bad Harrington training base in the past year, and the situation there was more like a nightmare than Cobham.

The team's training 丨 has begun. Except for those internationals participating in the European Cup, who are still on vacation, and those who participate in the Copa America are still playing in the national team, everyone else has returned to the team.

"It's hard to find the road here on Cobham?"

As soon as he walked into the press conference hall, Ye Qiu joked with all the reporters present, because he believed that many of them had been coming to the Cobham training base for the first time, which was definitely a bit troublesome.

The training bases of Premier League clubs are generally arranged in suburban areas, so it is generally difficult to find. Manchester United's Carrington and Arsenal's Kearney are all difficult to find. Now there is another Chelsea's Cobham.

"Today, we invited everyone to announce two transfer signings." Ye Qiu sat down and let all the reporters sit down, and he would take the lead in announcing. "First of all, we introduced Argentine left-back from Paris Saint-Germain with a transfer fee of 10UU,000 euros, Gabriel Heinze."

All the reporters at the scene were in an uproar when they heard it. Gabriel Heinze, the Argentine international, performed in the past year in Ligue 1. To be honest, not many people know because Ligue 1 has little influence now, but many people know him because of Manchester United.

Ferguson previously said that he would focus on strengthening the team's left-back. One of the signings he had appointed was to introduce Gabriel Heinze from Paris Saint-Germain. The purpose was to strengthen the team's left-side defense so that Sylvester could better sit in the middle and partner with Ferdinand.

Does this mean that the league starts early?

You should know that Chelsea and Manchester United are a pair of stalemates at the beginning of the season, because the Community Shield Cup is the league champion and the FA Cup, that is, Chelsea and Manchester United. The first round of the league is also coincidental, Chelsea and Manchester United, so the media have long been ready to build momentum for these two games.

Who knows that before the game started, the two teams started to fight to the death

The media on the scene only made a moment of movement, but soon they all spontaneously quieted down because they knew very well that this was Ye Qiu's first transfer, and there should be another one.

At this moment, Peter Kenyon and a young player in a suit walked into the press conference. When all the reporters at the scene saw the visitor, they all stood up one by one and took pictures at the two of them frantically.

Wayne Rooney

"Oh my god, Chelsea got Rooney"

"This is definitely a big transfer, so surprising."

"When did they get it done? Why did Everton agree so easily? How much does the transfer fee?"

The reporters on the scene were obviously very out of control, because this transfer may have limited influence on the European continent, but for English football, it is definitely a transfer no less than that of the world's superstars, because Rooney has been regarded as England's most talented top genius since Gascoin.

Ye Qiu and Peter Kenyon looked at each other and were both satisfied with each other's results. Now they are just press conferences. After the team's training, after participating in the Championship Tour from the United States, they will also bring out three players who joined the team this summer to meet the fans, but now they need the media to create momentum.

"This is the second transfer I want to announce. We have reached an agreement with Everton and signed a contract with Wayne Rooney. From now on, Rooney will belong to Chelsea in the next U-year period." Ye Qiu announced the transfer with a smile.

Rooney walked towards Ye Qiu, and the two shook hands in front of the media with smiles, because they had met once before the press conference, and many things were negotiated in that meeting, and then the transfer matters became very smooth.

Everton originally wanted to continue to drag, but Chelsea's attitude was very clear and decisive. If Everton cannot agree to Chelsea's transfer request as soon as possible, Chelsea will withdraw the transfer offer and will no longer send a quote to Rooney from now on.

35UU,000 euros, is definitely an undeniable transfer requirement for Everton. What's more valuable is that Chelsea promises to pay cash directly, which is more tempting than installment payments. So after weighing the pros and cons, Everton finally made a compromise and gave Rooney a green light to transfer.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, your secret skills are indeed very good, and they are very fast. When did you reach an agreement with Everton? How much is Rooney's transfer fee?" The Guardian reporter stood up and asked.

Ye Qiu smiled, "The agreement reached yesterday, so I can't wait to announce it to the public today."

Everyone present burst into laughter. Obviously, things were not as exaggerated as Ye Qiu said, but Ye Qiu used a joke to expose Rooney's transfer fee. Although it was 35UU, Ye Qiu and Peter Kenyon both felt that there was no need to announce it to the public and let everyone guess.

For Rooney now, it is not surprising that Chelsea won it at a high price, because his performance in the European Cup is indeed so outstanding that the whole of England and even the whole world regards him as the savior of England. For such a player, no matter how high the transfer fee is, it is not outrageous.

On the contrary, as Peter Kenyon said, Chelsea welcomes any exaggerated and outrageous speculation.

"I believe that Mr. Ye Qiu, it must be difficult to make such a confidential signing. Can you tell me about your evaluation of Rooney and how you plan to position his role in Chelsea? After all, everyone feels that Chelsea was already very strong and balanced last season."

Ye Qiu smiled at the camera, but was serious, "I want to say that neither my players nor me will lie on the credit book of the past and sleep with the championship trophy. That is not our style. We will continue to work hard, continue to surpass our past selves, and constantly strengthen the overall strength of the team."

"Although Rooney is only 18 years old, his personality and talent are surprising. We have been paying attention to him since his debut. He is very confident, mature and steady. He is a very good offensive player, but he is not a pure shooter or a center. He is best at free movement in both wings of the penalty area."

Whether in the England national team or in Everton, Rooney is not a single arrow, but more like a front midfielder. However, he runs very actively and has a large range of running. He often pulls to the two wings to find one-on-one breakthrough opportunities. Rooney now has a fierce momentum in playing football, and his breakthrough is very sharp and confident.

Of course, those who don’t like him will think that this kid is just a bull. He still has to live with him if he can pass by him, but he cannot. Anyway, it’s just this kind of temper. But what’s surprising is that even if it’s a difficult defense, he can make a gap for you.

"So, I believe there is no need to worry about Rooney's position and position at Chelsea. He will bring strength improvements to the team. I have no doubt about this."

"But, Mr. Ye Qiu" another reporter raised his hand and asked, "You know, there has been a saying in the Premier League in the past, that is, the midfield of the Premier League team is not allowed to appear at the same time, or even more than two players with a height of no more than 1.8 meters tall, but now Chelsea seems to have surpassed this point."

"Is there such a saying?" Ye Qiu shook his head. He had never heard of it, but judging from the nodding expressions of the reporters, this is a default unspoken rule by Ying Zhu to the head coach. "If there is, it must not be suitable for me."

"In the past, the traditional style of the Premier League was to pass the ball away, and there were many tall balls. If the player was shorter, he could only raise his head and watch the ball fly around in the sky." Ye Qiu's speech and the flying movement of his right hand made everyone present amused.

"But the Premier League is different now. It's like Chelsea. Our style of play is not a long pass to rush out. We pursue control, we pursue control over the rhythm, space and ball rights. So for us, the height of the player is not a problem, because control is in our hands, and the most important thing is that he meets our tactical needs."

Many people nodded when they heard this, and even applauded, because if you look closely, you will find that the midfielders of Arsenal and Manchester United are relatively tall, usually above 1.8 meters above 1.8 meters below, and few below 1. Those who play at the same time may even arrange a midfielder of only one player below 1.8 meters below 1.8 meters above 1.

But Chelsea are obviously more now. Last season, there were already Deco, Davis and Marklele, the three midfielders, both below 1.8 meters, and even the heights of the three of them are short in the Premier League. So before the start of last season, many people jokingly claimed that Chelsea's midfielders were short-legged tigers.

However, this pair of midfielders is indeed surprising and shows suffocating control. However, Davis and Marklele are both famously powerful midfielders. Deco's performance in the Premier League and this year's European Cup was also top-notch, so Chelsea has also broken the concept and perception of Premier League midfielders in the past.

But to a deeper level, this is not just height, but a style

To a certain extent, height is synonymous with strength and body confrontation, but Chelsea proves with facts that there is no need for strong physical confrontation and strength. As long as you can use holistic tactics to put strong control pressure on your opponent, you can still defeat any opponent. In this case, height and strength become a burden.

"Wayne, can you tell us what you feel when you leave Everton and join Chelsea?" A reporter turned the topic right. Ye Qiu is now an old man, but Rooney is only 18 years old.

"It made me sad to leave Everton, but when I learned that Chelsea and Mr. Ye Qiu wanted to bring me in, I thought about it for a long time, and finally I chose to join Chelsea because I hope to realize all my dreams here, including winning the UEFA Champions League and the League."

"Here, I have to say sorry to all the Everton fans who have supported and encouraged me, because the highest honor is too important and too tempting for a professional player to refuse."

"It's exciting to join Chelsea because there are a group of outstanding superstars here. I'm eager to work with Ronaldinho, Deco, Marklele, Lampard, Cannavaro, Terry and other world's best. I can't wait for this. I believe we will succeed."

Rooney is still very young, her hair is still thick, and her voice is loud, giving people a feeling of being full of energy.

With the joining of Rooney, Heinze and Essin, everyone once again realized that Chelsea seems to be stronger than last season, both in terms of strength and lineup thickness.

"Not good"

When Ye Qiu had just finished the press conference for Rooney and Heinzer to join the team in London, less than half an hour later, Queros, who was far away in Carrington, Manchester, broke open the door to Ferguson's office.

After a embarrassed season with Real Madrid, the Portuguese was disgraced and returned to Manchester United.

Although Ferguson was very dissatisfied with the Portuguese transfer to Real Madrid a year ago, he urgently needed a right-hand man because he already clearly felt that his mind and energy were no longer enough to maintain all the affairs of the team, and there was someone to share the burden for him. It was obvious that it was better to use it to be mature than to use it. Queros did not need to be able to get it done at all and was the ideal candidate.

"What's the matter?" Ferguson raised his head. He was organizing the team's summer training program, holding a pen in his hand.

"We received a call from a newspaper reporter. Just in London, Chelsea announced two transfers. They introduced Heinze from Paris Saint-Germain and Wayne Rooney from Everton. We were intercepted." Queiros was a little breathless after saying such a long passage.

"What?" Ferguson's pen fell on the table. Heinze and Rooney were both fond of him. "The news is reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable" Queros said with certainty.

"Fuck" Ferguson touched his forehead and cursed angrily, these two players were part of his plan. Rooney actually had no big impact because he was not in a hurry to plan. If someone robs him, he will do it this summer. If no one robs him, he will talk about it next summer, which can avoid Manchester United's transfer pressure.

But unexpectedly, that Chelsea bastard actually started without saying a word in advance. It's cruel enough

The transfer that really affects Manchester United is Heinze. The left-back is a player Ferguson attaches great importance to. He wants to introduce Heinze, liberate Sylvester, let the French concentrate on playing in the middle, and adjust and strengthen Manchester United's defense line. But now Heinze has also gone to Chelsea. Isn't this disrupting Ferguson's plan?

Since Erwin, Manchester United's left-back has never let Ferguson worry. From Phil Neville to O'Shea, it was difficult to get a Sylvester, but in fact, Sylvester is not from a regular left-back. He plays as a central defender. However, later he went to the left and performed better than the middle, so he was fixed on the left.

But Sylvester has a big problem. He has a lot of ups and downs. He is world-class when he performs well, and he will collapse when he performs poorly. Moreover, he is seriously short of people in the middle. Sylvester is a more reassuring player in the middle, so he wants to introduce a left-back to fill the loopholes in the defense.

There are too few outstanding left-backs in the transfer market now. Ajax's Abidal and Barcelona have been dating each other for a long time. They probably are going to Spain. With the relationship between Ajax and Barcelona, ​​no one can steal this person. Philip Ram, who performed very well in the European Cup, was loaned to Stuttgart by Bayern Munich, and it is difficult to dig. To be honest, Ram's body may not be able to adapt to the Premier League.

Ashley Cole, Zambrota, Risser, Robert Carlos

These powerful left-backs are either astonishingly valuable or unable to introduce them. Ferguson has no idea of ​​any suitable goal for a while and is a little confused, but he knows very well that if Manchester United cannot strengthen the left-back or central defender position this year, there will still be no chance to compete for the championship.

Seeing Ferguson's frowning look, Queros knew that he was in a bad mood at this time and quietly withdrew from the office. The moment he closed the door, he breathed a sigh of relief. Because he was not the head coach, the pressure was far less than that great.

But he could imagine that the new season was about to open fire, but the transfer has not made any progress. The opponents of the first two official games of the season were strong teams like Chelsea. You can imagine the pressure of Ferguson.
