Chapter 297 The only decision maker
The training camp for the new season丨In fact, there were already very complete preparations, but Ye Qiu was still very busy.
A very important reason is that he must appease all players as soon as possible.
This season, three players, Heinze, Essin and Rooney, will inevitably have an impact on some players of the team. For example, the most obvious one is that they are also left-backs, Evra and Heinze will inevitably compete. In addition, Shanghai Inze can also play central defender, and Galas can play left-back, so there is a lot of competitive pressure.
Although Heinze will participate in the Copa America and will participate in the Olympic and European Cup qualifiers, the initial return time will be at least mid-September, and there is no way to do so. Who made the national team competitions so intensive this summer?
Before and after Ye Qiu announced the introduction of Heinze, he had to take time to communicate and exchange with players such as Galas, Evra. He repeatedly emphasized that Chelsea's front line in the new season will still be a double-line battle mainly in the Champions League and the Premier League. At the same time, with the League Cup and the FA Cup, Chelsea's game task is very heavy. Heinze's joining is to ensure the thickness of the team's lineup.
One thing he didn't say was that he also wanted to use Heinze to put some pressure on Evra and Galas so that they could better form and participate in the game and obey the head coach's command.
With the introduction of Essin, there are more players. Davis, Fabregas, Deco, Marklelai and others, and Ye Qiu must communicate and communicate with them one by one. Among them, Ye Qiu mentioned to Davis that the team will make appropriate tactical adjustments and changes in the new season, hoping that he will be mentally prepared. The Dutch veteran also said that he will continue to stay and participate in the competition.
To be honest, Ye Qiu still admires Davis very much. He also believes that this midfielder who can play in multiple positions will definitely help Chelsea in the new season, so he also gave Davis great encouragement and commitment.
Rooney's joining has the biggest impact on Ribery.
Originally, Ye Qiu had planned to promote Ribery to play as the main player this season, but now Rooney's joining has caused variables to this plan. Ye Qiu could not make a promise for who can become the main starting member of the team.
Ribery didn't know what Ye Qiu was planning, so he felt threatened about Rooney's joining, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, to be honest, he had only played in a professional league for a year. Although he had a Premier League championship and a Champions League championship, he still did not have the capital to be proud, especially in front of Ye Qiu, who he regarded as his mentor.
Ye Qiu also promised Ribery, hoping that Ribery could adjust his form well, avoid encountering rookie walls, and continue his outstanding performance last season. The Frenchman must be the most important member of Chelsea's lineup.
The team's competition is so fierce, young players such as Fabregas, Messi and Robert Hut also felt the pressure, and Ye Qiu openly stated in the exchange that they are not able to start the main team for the new season, but Ye Qiu will still continue to give them opportunities in the cup and bench seats, so that they can get training and accumulate more experience.
"You are only 17 years old. For you now, the most important thing is not the main position of the first team. The competitive pressure in the Premier League is very high. It is not necessarily a good thing to play the main player of the Premier League too early. I believe you should be mentally prepared for this, so for you now, the most important thing is to learn."
This is also Ye Qiu's request for Fabregas and Messi, hoping that they can learn as much of their teammates' playing style and awareness as possible. Whether it is Ronaldinho, Davis, Deco, Marklele, Lampard and others, they have a lot of things worth learning from for young players.
Not to mention anything else, after a year in the Premier League, Fabregas and Messi's physical fitness has improved significantly. This is thanks to Ye Qiu's special request to Peter Brandt to formulate a physical training for them, ensuring their delicate skills and sensitivity, and improving their physical fitness and confrontational ability.
But the body is actually only part of it. What is more important is to learn how to compete with your opponents on the court. At this point, Ronaldinho, Davis and Marklele did a good job, especially Davis and Marklele. They are both players with low figures, but they are not at a disadvantage in the confrontation.
Fabregas and Messi have always had a deep understanding of Ye Qiu's cultivation, so when Ye Qiu took the initiative to communicate and communicate with them, the two young players also understood and promised to continue working hard in the future and strive for progress.
After this round of measures to calm the players and stabilize the team's internal atmosphere, the first week of training passed like this.
Because the main player is not present, Ye Qiu's training camp is more about physical reserves, but even so, he still focuses on ball training. Unlike the previous emphasis on oppression, Ye Qiu now emphasizes more about passing and receiving cooperation based on oppression.
Goals and support have become a very important topic in training, which made Rooney feel very new because in Everton, the team's pre-match training 丨 was always spent in running laps, but now Ye Qiu obviously does not advocate running laps, but instead uses high-intensity ball-held training to replace traditional physical fitness reserve training
This summer, Chelsea's arrangement is to train in London for two weeks, play a warm-up match with Oxford United in the British and C League, then go to the United States to participate in the Championship Tour, opponents are Celtics and Rome, then return to Europe, participate in the Amsterdam Cup in the Netherlands, and finally return to London to play a warm-up match with Zaragoza from La Liga.
The entire schedule is arranged very tightly. Ye Qiu's idea is to adjust the team's state before the new season arrives, run in the tactics of the new season and determine the main lineup, and continue to attack the champion from the beginning of the new season.
With Heinze, Essin and Rooney joining, Ye Qiu is very confident about Chelsea's strength in the new season, but a season is long and anything may happen, so he still dare not be careless.
Perhaps because many main players were not there, the substitutes wanted to work hard to show their strength and level in front of the head coach at the beginning of the season. Therefore, after a week and a half later, when the team ushered in Oxford United, Chelsea scored a 10-0 victory, which shocked the whole of England.
The starting lineups of Ye Qiu's game were goalkeeper Van der Sar, and the defenses were Evra, Galas, Cannavaro and Sun Jihai. Because Italy only played in the group stage in the European Cup, Cannavaro started taking vacation early after that, so he returned to the team a few days after the training camp.
The midfield was adjusted, Deco was absent, Ye Qiu arranged the double midfielder combination of Davis and Marklele in this game, and Ronaldinho on the left side of the frontcourt went to participate in the Copa America. Lampard had just returned to the team, and Ye Qiu arranged the frontcourt lineup of Ribery, Joccole and Rooney, and the single striker was Drogba.
This is actually a set of changes Ye Qiu is brewing. He wants to see if Jocco can play the role of the core midfielder in the absence of Deco and Ronaldinho.
As a result, Joe Cole played in a very outstanding and amazing state. He got the opportunity to fully display his delicate skills and creativity in the game. Because Ribery and Rooney were frequently active on both wings, Drogba blocked the defensive pressure in front for Joe Cole, and behind him was Davis and Marklele broke the back. Joe Cole unscrupulously showed his strength.
The 10-0 victory is indeed surprising. Chelsea showed excellent offensive ability in this game, especially on the two sides. Evra on the left was in excellent condition, and his partner with Ribery was the source of Chelsea's offensive. The combination of Sun Jihai and Rooney on the right was not inferior, especially Rooney. In the frontcourt with Drogba was like a bull rushing around, which made Oxford United's defense line panic.
Ye Qiu praised this warm-up match, believing that the team showed a good momentum, and more importantly, it showed training results in the game, which was more happy than anything else.
"I was really surprised and satisfied with the players who performed so well after hard training and physical fitness, because I could feel their fatigue before the game, but I asked them to work harder and show our spirit and fighting spirit. As a result, they showed me the hope of us continuing to hit the championships in the new season. I firmly believe that in the new season, we are still the most powerful contenders of all championships."
Ye Qiu's statement also won the recognition of the players. Among them, captain Terry said, "After the outstanding performance last season, we have obviously become more confident. If someone asks what the European champion and Premier League double champions have brought us, there is no doubt that it must be confidence. The two championships allow us to see our strength and level more clearly."
"In the new season, we have ushered in strong strong players, we have become more mature and stronger, and we will launch a new round of impact on every championship. No one will be satisfied with the double championship last season. We hope to create a better peak under the leadership of the head."
But just when Chelsea defeated his opponent and was about to set out for the United States, the English media suddenly broke a news story because Abramovich would not accompany the team to the United States, so some media broke the news that this was because of the Russians' dissatisfaction with Ye Qiu, and there was news that at the critical moment of the team's preparations, Abramovich had not appeared at the Cobham training base for a long time.
"It is revealed that Abramovich had already finalized Shevchenko's transfer with AC Milan, and he hoped to use Davis as a transfer chip to let the nuclear warhead join Chelsea, but Ye Qiu rejected this transfer with a very tough attitude. He believed that Drogba would be a crucial member of the team, and Davis is also an indispensable part of the team."
"According to the reporter's internal contacts at Chelsea, after Ye Qiu won the double championship, his position in the minds of London and Chelsea fans is at its peak. Even Abramovich is difficult to shake Ye Qiu's influence in the team and the fans. So when Ye Qiu rejected the transfer, Abramovich went on vacation in anger, and the team did not come back after the training camp."
After this news was published, the outside world suddenly talked about it because the news made the details and content very clear. Moreover, over the past year, Abramovich has indeed been connected with Shevchenko, and a reporter even photographed Shevchenko and Abramovich watching the Champions League final together.
But suddenly, Abramovich and Shevchenko disappeared, and Ye Qiu suddenly announced the introduction of Rooney, which was considered a compromise to Abramovich's superstar strategy, and a layer of irresolved conflict was formed between the club owner and the head coach.
Regarding this news, Chelsea official immediately responded and Peter Kenyon, who accompanied the team to the United States, clarified to the outside world, saying that there was no problem between Abramovich and head coach Ye Qiu, and that all aspects were well coordinated.
"In fact, Ye Qiu's contract renewal was made and supervised by the boss himself."
As for Rooney, Peter Kenyon also said that Chelsea had long been interested in this young English genius, but they have always been relatively low-key and not too ostentatious. It is definitely not the result of any compromise that the outside world said.
But it is obvious that the rumors are too realistic, and even many details and inside stories make people feel that this is not a rumor at all, because many things inside are too coincidental, and even have eyes and are too unbelievable that this is fake news.
Later, media revealed that there is also a secret clause in the contract Ye Qiu signed with Chelsea a year ago and the contract terms of the current contract renewal with Chelsea, that is, Ye Qiu has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract at any time and under any circumstances without paying Chelsea's liquidated damages.
There are also news that one of the important reasons why Ye Qiu was unable to finalize the contract renewal negotiations this year is that Ye Qiu needs to get a guarantee, that is, he has the right to decide on the team's signing and transfer, and at the same time ensure the stability of the team's lineup, which is exactly the biggest difference between him and Abramovich.
"We can analyze that Ye Qiu is very satisfied with the players he cultivated and promoted, and Chelsea's strong combat effectiveness was also very obvious last season. Everyone can see that Chelsea is already the most powerful team in football today.
"In this case, we have reason to believe that when Ye Qiu feels that his players and lineup are threatened, he will definitely stand up to protect his players and rights. But for Abramovich, the boss, the team won the double championship, and his ambitions have obviously become greater. As early as when he acquired Chelsea, he said that his biggest wish is to build Chelsea into a Galaxy battleship like Real Madrid. With the momentum of the double championship, he has a chance to achieve this."
"From our understanding of Chelsea and interviews with Chelsea players, it is not difficult to conclude that Ye Qiushen has been loved and supported by players and fans. He is the well-deserved king of Chelsea. Don't forget that the owner of Chelsea is Abramovich, and he is the only decision-maker who decides Chelsea's fate."
There are more and more rumors, and more and more media have dug up some inside stories. For example, Shevchenko appears many times at Chelsea’s game scene, and Abramovich and Pini Zahavi are friends, but Pini Zahavi contacted Shevchenko many times, and even the friendship between Pini Zahavi and Frank Aneson was revealed.
Frank Aneson, everyone knows that he and Ye Qiu are mortal enemies, and their grudges were still very sensational in the Netherlands back then.
So, combined with so much news, everyone came to a conclusion that it seemed that Abramovich wanted to fire Ye Qiu, who was disobeying his will and orders.
As rumors become more and more, it has obviously affected the players. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Ye Qiu had to accept a pre-season interview with Martin Samuel of the Times the night before heading to the United States, once again clarifying his control over the team and his determination to stay at Chelsea. At the same time, in order to appease Rooney and the players, he repeatedly stated that Rooney was a player he personally asked to introduce.
"I can reiterate that in Chelsea's current lineup, every player who stays, leaves or introduces, is me who makes the decision, and only me. No one can change my responsibilities to this team, and no one knows the strength of this team better than me. We will continue to maintain our glory."
"I can't say anything more to those who think I'm leaving Chelsea, but I can say with certainty that if I really want to leave Chelsea one day, it must be because some people want to force me to leave, but that's definitely not now."
When Martin Samuel asked who wanted to force Ye Qiu away, Ye Qiu chose to remain silent, but he denied that it was Abramovich. "I have good contact and communication with Roman. We just had a phone call yesterday. He also told me that he was on vacation and could not accompany the team. I hope our new season can continue the glory of last season."
Therefore, the media believed that the person who really wanted to force Ye Qiu away was Abramovich's friend Pini Zahavi, who has always been regarded as a person with a significant influence on Chelsea, because he was the one who helped Abramovich acquire Chelsea.
Now that the new season is coming and the competition is about to come, such news comes out, which shakes the morale of the army. It is obvious that only Pini Zahavi can do such a thing.
As the truth gradually unfolds, more and more Chelsea fans join the lineup against Pini Zahavi, believing that the Israelis are going to disrupt Chelsea's morale because he is a friend of Manchester United and Ferguson, so doing this has another purpose.
It was in such a rumbling voice that Chelsea left London and arrived in the United States.
