Ancient poems say that the duck prophets of the spring river.

If this sentence is put into a football club, players will be able to feel it as long as there is a slight disturbance from the senior management. Therefore, Chelsea players now have all felt the changes in the club.

It should be said that since Chelsea won two championships in the Premier League and the Champions League a year ago, rumors of a disagreement between Ye Qiu and Abramovich have been constantly rumored to be the outside world. One very important reason is that Abramovich wants to introduce superstars such as Shevchenko, Barack, and Nedved, while Ye Qiu insists on reusing the existing players in the team.

Although Chelsea officials, Abramovich and Ye Qiu have denied this on many different occasions, the players in Kobham clearly feel the change in Abramovich's attitude towards the team. He basically does not go into the locker room and does not come to Kobham. The behavior of violating the contract to pay bonuses to the players has never happened again.

Abramovich and Ye Qiu are not at odds with each other. This is no longer a rare thing in Kobham, but everyone keeps it in their hearts and refuses to say it, and they cannot say it because it is related to the secrets within the team, whoever says it will die.

But at noon today, when they arrived in Kobum, they found that there was one more person in Kobum.

Avran Grant, a man I've never heard of before, is now coming to Cobham to serve as technical director.

No one is unfamiliar with this position. Many famous Premier League coaches including Redknapp announced their resignation and dismissal because of the technical director. In the eyes of many people, this position represents the will of the management and the role facing the head coach.

Suddenly, for no reason, a technical director was airborne. Everyone knew what kind of signal this meant.

So, throughout the afternoon, the Cobham training base seemed very depressed. There was no laughter from the past, but there was a bit of heavy worries. They were all worried that the head coach would announce his resignation like Redknapp, just as the technical director took office?

"Not" In the players' entertainment area, captain Terry stood up, "The head is not an irresponsible person. The team is now at a critical moment. We are only one step away from the highest honor. He will not give up at this time."

"Yes, and one of the important reasons why Uncle Harry Redknapp left the team directly at Portsmouth is that he did not get support, but our team should not be able to reach this point now. At least, the club's top priority must be to support the team in full swing for the FA Cup and the Champions League."

Lampard and Harry Redknapp's family are family friends, and they have their own news channels for Redknapp leaving Portsmouth, so he knows very well why Redknapp wanted to leave Portsmouth.

"But it's hard to say that the head has never liked the management to interfere with Cobham, and now there is a technical director for no reason." Joe Kerr is very worried. He is a little sensitive, and his agent is Pini Zahavi. "I know Avran Grant, who is a very good friend of Pini Zahavi."

Speaking of Pini Zahavi, almost everyone present was silent because almost every one of them had been poached by Pini Zahavi, so they were very clear about the influence of the Israelis on Chelsea. So when they heard that Avran Grant was Pini Zahavi's friend, they suddenly became worried one by one.

In the past two years, more and more people have invested in Eliza Moon's brokerage company, not because Ye Qiu also belongs to this company, but because this company can bring them more benefits and benefits.

If Pini Zahavi, as an agent, the way to fight for the players is to fight for the contract, and then he will draw commissions from the contract, and even encourage players to transfer in order to fight for the benefits, of course, this method and trick is already well-known in the agent industry.

But Eliza Moon earns commissions from players in different ways. Although her company also draws commissions from players' contracts, it does not force it. For example, Ronaldinho, whose agent is his brother, just gives Eliza Moon's company the right to operate, and she can bring Ronaldinho at least 30 million euros in income every year.

As for those players who authorize her contracts and transfers, the company only draws the minimum commission, and more of them are to develop the business value of the players through commercial operations. Therefore, although Eliza Moon has not many players, each of them is a very influential first-class star.

Rooney also transferred to Eliza not long ago. What's scary is that after he transferred to the company, Rooney signed several major contracts in succession, with Nike sponsorship fees of 1.5 million euros a year and Coca-Cola 1 million euros a year. In addition, sponsorship contracts reached with many well-known brands in the UK and autobiography with well-known publishing houses. These business operations will bring more than 100,000 euros in income to Rooney every year, making Rooney the highest-paid players in the world football world.

This is Eliza Moon's method. She does not suck blood from the players' salary and contracts, but actively opens up new revenue channels and business operations for the players, and then obtains commissions. Moreover, the commissions for this part are generally kept within a reasonable range of 10, which is impossible to enjoy under other agents.

Of course, not everyone can enter this company. Eliza Moon is very strict in the selection of players, and there are rumors that the company only signs first-class or future-class stars, so in the past or two years, many players have been proud of joining this company.

The players in Chelsea are basically divided into two groups, especially after Paul Stratford collapsed due to the black gold storm, Rooney turned to Eliza Moon. Chelsea's players are basically Eliza Moon and Pini Zahavi, among which Pini Zahavi tried every means to poach Eliza's players.

However, the players are not fools. Pini Zahavi is like a vampire, attached to the players, not producing blood, but only sucking blood. But Eliza is trying to make blood for the players and then profit from it. In contrast, who is willing to turn to Pini Zahavi?

But they all knew very well that Pini Zahavi was deeply trusted by Abramovich. The Israelis had long wanted to get Ye Qiu off the stage, but they had never gotten the chance. This time, he sent Avran Grant to Cobham, maybe it was his secret move.

Thinking of this, all the players present were worried.

At this moment, I saw someone pushing open the door of the player entertainment area and walking in, looking smiling, greeting all the players present, "Harrow, are you all here, are you having a meeting?"

In Avran Grant's eyes, this should be a very friendly greeting. He also tried his best to comfort the players and make them unable to accept them at least, but at least they had to refuse. It would be better to be friends. However, he did not expect that the friendly actions he tried to make all the players present changed their faces.

"How did you come in?" Lampard stood up first, "Did you eavesdrop outside just now?"

Avran Grant was stunned by the whisper of the team's deputy captain, "No, no eavesdropping"

John Terry also stood up, "Who allowed you to come in? This is the player entertainment area. Do you not understand the rules?"

"What rules?" Avran Grant felt his legs trembled and felt guilty.

Rules, yes, Cobham's rules are his most deadly weakness

"Cobham's rule is that no one stops except players in the player entertainment area." Ye Qiu's voice sounded behind Avran Grant. When the Israelites turned around and looked at him, they pointed at themselves, "Including me, too."

Seeing that the players were all glaring at themselves, Avran Grant immediately realized that he had broken the rules and offended the players' privacy. The mood that he originally wanted to please the players was immediately thrown out of the sky, and he could not care about it. His first thought was to quickly save the situation.

But just as he was about to explain, Ye Qiu waved his hand, "Forget it, Mr. Grant is here for the first time. I don't understand the rules. Don't blame him. Don't be petty. Just your nothing, who would like to eavesdrop on me?"

Ye Qiu's words made many players present laugh.

"Boss, what you said is wrong. You don't care about listening. It's hard to guarantee that others are not interested." Ribery and Ye Qiu are the most familiar, joking.

Grant stood in the middle and felt very embarrassed. He was not going to leave, nor did he not leave, and he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.

"Okay, clean up and go to the conference room for a meeting." Ye Qiu explained, turned around and left.

From beginning to end, he didn't look at Avran Grant directly, which made the Israelites even more embarrassed.

In fact, he didn't want to offend Ye Qiu, but he just wanted to get the opportunity to work at Chelsea, because this resume of working at the top European teams can make him better accepted by other teams in the mainstream European leagues. He also hopes that one day he can stand on the top stage in Europe, just like Ye Qiu.

But unfortunately, from the moment he entered Cobham, he and Ye Qiu were destined to be incompatible with water and fire.

How disciplined Chelsea players are can be seen from their preparation time.

Ye Qiu said he was going to have a meeting, and Avran Grant followed him out of the player entertainment area, hesitating along the way whether to listen to the audience, and then answered a call from Pini Zahavi. On the other side of the phone, the Israeli agent told him to participate more in matters and not express his opinions, and then he decided to listen.

When he arrived at the conference room, he saw that all the players had arrived. In the noisy conference room, the players were chatting and laughing, but when he saw him appear, the whole audience was silent, which made Grant who walked into the conference room even more embarrassed and wanted to leave directly on the spot. But in the end, he resisted the impulse and bit the bullet and found a position to sit down.

Ye Qiu walked into the conference room with his assistants. All the players immediately looked at Ye Qiu, which made Grant, who was sitting aside, admired and worried. He admired Ye Qiu's influence and status in the players' minds. What he was worried about was that the higher Ye Qiu's status, the harder it would be to integrate into this circle, because he knew very well what he represented.

"I believe you all received the news." Ye Qiu's opening remark was very direct, without the kind of roundabout way that others had. "I will be suspended for two games in the Champions League, but I tell you that even if I was suspended, I still have enough confidence and confidence to defeat any opponent, no matter who he is."

Ye Qiu's speech received support and affirmation from almost all the players present.

"We have a heavy task next week. We will challenge Porto away from home in the middle of next week. I said that in this game, we will not only strive to win, but also waste the Dragon Stadium. I want you to completely defeat Porto and avenge our teammates. Can we do it?"

"able"

"It will definitely be done"

As soon as the players think of the game against Porto, they can't help but get up. They're so depressed.

"We have won the championship in the Premier League ahead of schedule. In the next few rounds, I will consider arranging more young players on the court, and I will also rotate the team, because we have many injuries in the team now, but don't think I want to give up the game. On the contrary, I will always have only one goal."

The "Victory" players shouted and answered.

"Yes" Ye Qiu nodded.

Next, Ye Qiu arranged for the starting lineup of the team to challenge Bolton away in two days, including Van Persie, Fabregas, Messi, Parker, Robert Hutt and other players, who were qualified for the starting lineup. Chelsea can almost be said to play as a substitute and youth team player lineup.

But according to Grant's observation, Chelsea players did not seem to be despised by this game at all. On the contrary, when Ye Qiu analyzed Bolton, they all attached great importance to it, which made people feel that they were not going to give up on this game, but the players who played were different, but the goals did not change, so they still had to try their best to win.

"It will be very difficult to play Porto in the middle of next week. At that time, I can only sit in the stands and there is no way to give you instructions as soon as possible. This requires all of you to be more proactive than usual and to do more harder than usual."

Ye Qiu's words were once again nodded by the players present, and they all looked determined.

"Porto's strength is at a disadvantage, and I'm not here, they will definitely feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. If I were Mourinho, I would take the attack after the opening game to directly disrupt our tactical deployment, and completely expose our on-site response ability that has become dull due to the loss of the head coach."

Ye Qiu was analyzing the tactics and deployments that Porto might adopt. Grant couldn't help but nod after hearing this. This is indeed a very effective method, because without a head coach, on-site command will become a problem. Once Chelsea's deployment is disrupted after the start, Porto will likely take advantage of the chaos to defeat Chelsea.

"But if Porto thought they could do this, then they would underestimate us Chelsea too much." Ye Qiu walked off the podium and walked to the players.
