Chapter 721 The Heart of Warcraft

In Theoborde on a summer morning, the air is filled with a faint fragrance of fragrant grass and flowers.

Early on, some staff cleaned the asphalt roads of the training base, as if they had been washed by heavy rain.

Although Tottenham Hotspur's first team won a morning rest because of the league and the four consecutive Premier League championships, the staff of Theoborde were unable to take a break because of this, and they still came to the training base to work on duty.

So, walking through the asphalt road from Theobord's gate, you can see that there are security guards on duty at every booth, either sitting inside or standing straight outside. They are the most loyal and diligent guards of Theobord.

When you come downstairs of the training building, you can clearly hear the discussion coming from the second floor, or even the voice of argument.

"From the performance of the German Cup, their defense is a very serious problem. Dortmund scored five goals, which is absolutely unimaginable." The person who said this was not loud, but was very thick.

Everyone who is familiar with it knows that this is the voice of Mauro Tassoti. He stayed up late at home last night to watch the German Cup between Bayern Munich and Dortmund in Berlin. At this moment, there were three people sitting in the coaching room, including scout Peter De Viser and two tactical analysts who were specially arranged to watch in Germany.

They flew back to London from Berlin overnight to attend this coaching staff meeting.

"Alaba, Badstuber and Gustavo both performed poorly. From the perspective of staffing, wing players are the ones Bayern Munich are the most lacking. Contento may go on, and Ram can also play on the left and let Rafinia play on the right, but the problem of central defenders may be more serious."

With the introduction of the tactical analysis team, Mauro Tassoti spoke again, "Ram will not go to the left. This season, Bayern Munich's most stable attack line is the right side of Ram and Robben. If Ram goes to the left and dismantle this strongest attack line, then their attack will be difficult to achieve results.

"That's right" Peter de Wiesel also spoke. His voice was softer, typical of the old man's tone. "Bayern Munich conceded twenty-two goals in the Bundesliga, and the defense is indeed good, but it is only limited to the Bundesliga. In fact, the performance of this team in the Champions League is not as strong as it seems on the surface, especially the defense."

In the group stage, we met Naples, Villarreal and Manchester City, Bayern Munich conceded five goals in six games, and lost 0l away to Switzerland's Basel in the first leg of the quarterfinals, but defeated our opponents 0 at home. In the quarterfinals, we met Marseille at home and away, and won 0 at home in the semi-finals, but we also lost to Real Madrid at home, but we lost away, and finally defeated our opponents by penalty shootout.

From this series of data, Bayern Munich is at least not as powerful as it seems. Their ability to reach the finals has a lot to do with their luck in drawing lots. At the same time, their home court is quite good, but their away results are not ideal.

So far in this season's Champions League match, Bayern Munich won all six home games, and away games with two wins, one draw and three losses.

If, according to some fans and media in the past, the Champions League championship will only appear on teams that have not lost, then Bayern Munich has been eliminated, so the poor away record has made Bayern Munich reach the final without much persuasion.

"I have to remind everyone that the Champions League final is held at the Allianz Stadium." Fatty Luo usually doesn't speak, but when he saw the coaching staff analyzing Bayern Munich's home court, he smiled and reminded him that the final was played at home.

Everyone was also smiling at this, because they took a big advantage in the home court.

"In fact, Bayern Munich may not necessarily take a defensive position in the final." René Murenstin also expressed a possibility.

Mauro Tassoti nodded, "That's right, in fact, looking at all the home games of Bayern Munich, they insist on winning with active and active offense, including against Real Madrid. They have more ball possession time than Real Madrid in terms of ball possession, and whether it is the passing success rate or the strength of the offense, they are obviously higher than the away game."

"So, I think Bayern Munich may not be able to curb our offense in defensively, but they may, in turn, take the offensive, use their home advantage to attack us and take the initiative in taking over the game."

It should be said that the final is only ninety minutes, and any possibility of the match against both sides has a chance to appear. Even the tactics of this game may adopt some unexpected new elements. Heinx's coaching level is still quite outstanding. No one knows what tactics he will adopt in such a critical battle.

Just as the coaching team and the tactical analysis team were discussing, Ye Qiu walked up to the second floor, stood at the door of the coaching room, gently stroked the door of the coaching room, and smiled at the assistants, "Don't be so nervous, Bayern Munich is just nothing great."

Everyone saw that he spoke so easily, and they all laughed. Their team has very rich experience in Champions League competitions, especially the finals, and at least two or three finals experience, with success and failure.

"The people in the analysis team will give me the most detailed analysis report of Bayern Munich before today, as well as a list of their most likely starting positions, and also have technical analysis of each player, and make an analysis video as soon as possible. In the next few days, we will focus on Bayern Munich for analysis and targeted training."

"Understand" several people from the analysis team nodded and agreed. This is also their most important job on weekdays.

After all, no matter how nervous it is, it is the Champions League final, only once a year, and many head coaches of many teams cannot even play a final in their lifetime. And their assistants are all happy that the team can participate in the finals. Can they not pay attention to it?

In Ye Qiu's words, the Champions League final is a game where you don't need to mobilize or motivate at all. Everyone will pay enough attention to it.

"Roland" Ye Qiu looked at Rolander Shepas, "I will send a ticket to all the players and youth teams, even those who are loaned outside, and also send tickets to Drogba and Nesta. In the next season, they will become our players."

When everyone heard this news, they were surprised at first, but soon they were delighted.

Drogba performed very well in Chelsea this season, especially in the second half after confirming that he would not renew his contract, he played another outstanding form, while Nesta is AC Milan's main central defender, but he has also encountered the problem of renewal.

Both players are excellent veterans, not young, but can still be used again. And more importantly, Raul has decided to play in Qatar. Drogba's joining can ensure the strength of the team's center position, while Nesta's joining gives the team's central defender a stable third player.

Of course, everyone knows that Ye Qiu has another consideration on introducing these two veterans, that is, data.

There is no doubt that veterans have bad health and some skills have also deteriorated, but they are the smartest and smartest in playing football. Their sense of playing football is undoubtedly the pinnacle of their careers.

"Mauro" Ye Qiu looked at Mauro Tassoti again, "From this afternoon's training class, we will adopt closed training, and no one will be allowed to enter the first-team training area of ​​Theobord training base. I hope to give the team a peaceful preparation period. We need to lose everything we have achieved in the past season, including the championship."

Mauro Tasotti knew the necessity of this, so he nodded and agreed.

If the players are still immersed in the joy of winning the league, and if they are still immersed in the surprise of the team's 0-winning victory over Barcelona in two rounds, then they will be in a fog in the Champions League final where they cannot see the situation clearly. Only by letting go of everything they have achieved in the past can they be clear about what they will face next and how they will face it.

After explaining these things, Ye Qiu breathed a deep breath, "Everyone, for events of the Champions League final, tactics, technology and personal strength are not the key factors that affect the outcome of the game. The key to truly determine the outcome of the game lies in the passion and willpower of the players. We need to stimulate the passion and will of the players in the next five days, and let them regain their hunger for the Champions League championship. This is our next focus."

Ye Qiu has a lot of experience in the Champions League final. He knows better than anyone else that tactics, skills and personal strength are indeed some important factors for the team to win, but these are not the key points, because it is the Champions League final, a battle of Tianwangshan with a certain victory.

In such a game, the gap in strength against both sides will not be too big, because those who can pass five levels and win six players appear in the Champions League final. Who believes that you have poor strength? Therefore, the outcome of such a game will not depend on tactics and the strength of the team, but to see who is more passionate, more fighting spirit, and more tenacious.

Because of this, Ye Qiu specially arranged for Roland to prepare a killer move.

"I sincerely look forward to being able to win the third Champions League in the history of the team with you."

Many people say that Drogba has become Chelsea's biggest and most troublesome problem.

For this, the Ivorian elephant king is proud and proud of himself, because not many people can do this.

As early as half a year ago, Drogba suspended the contract renewal negotiations with Chelsea, but that was more of a negotiation strategy to express his dissatisfaction with the conditions offered by Chelsea. However, Chelsea decided to stop the contract renewal with Drogba and instead planned to introduce Drogba's successor, especially when he went to participate in the African Cup in January.

But with Drogba's return, he began to rely on his own hard work and diligence, as well as his own good form. Although he often cannot play as the main player in the league, in some key games, Chelsea won the game with the power of Warcraft. For example, Chelsea was able to defeat Liverpool and win the UEFA Cup championship because of Drogba's frequent goals in the knockout round and finals. This championship has also become the fig leaf for Chelsea this season.

Countless Chelsea fans have publicly called on the official website and Stamford Bridge Stadium, hoping that the team can renew Drogba's contract and retain the Ivorian elephant king instead of letting him leave the team. Many people even believe that Drogba's current state is even more reliable than Torres, who was introduced at a high price.

But after the team won the UEFA Cup championship, CEO Pini of Li Xavi announced that Drogba has refused to negotiate with Chelsea on a contract renewal, and Drogba's agent also said that Warcraft will leave the team this summer.

This has also become the most eye-catching news in European football. Drogba's freedom will undoubtedly trigger a battle between many teams in the transfer market. As for the previous media disclosures, the terms between Drogba and Chelsea are not allowed to transfer to the arch-rivaled team, which was eventually proved to be false rumors. Drogba has publicly claimed more than once that he hopes to return to his mentor Ye Qiu to play football.

"Being able to play football for Ye Qiu is the most honorable thing in my career. I am willing to do it even if I don't have money."

Drogba's public favors were also seen as a positive signal by the outside world, but Chelsea, including Lampard and Terry, are calling on top leaders to keep Drogba, but unfortunately, the persuasion of these players has no effect.

After the season, Chelsea announced that Mourinho had returned to Stamford Bridge Stadium, and the latter met Drogba on the day he returned to London. The two sat down in the head coach's office of the Cobham training base and had a face-to-face conversation.

"Didil, I hope you can stay. I have agreed with the management that I can give you a two-year fixed contract and a one-year floating contract. At the same time, we can also discuss salary again. What do you think?"

Coaching Inter Milan in Serie A put Mourinho under tremendous pressure. His hair and beard turned gray and looked much older, but it added a bit of old charm, especially when he spoke, he no longer had the sharpness of the past, but added a bit of restraint and maturity.

Drogba played under Mourinho's account, and his relationship with Mourinho is quite good, and Mourinho knows how to use him, but he still shook his head, "I'm sorry, Jose, I can't promise you."

"I know," Mourinho nodded, "You agreed to Ye Qiu, but that was just a verbal promise. If you are willing to stay, we can give you all the conditions that Tottenham Hotspur promised you, including salary and contract years. I believe that with their style in the past few years, it is impossible to give you a high salary. The maximum salary is only 100,000 pounds a day. Oh, no, it must not be that high."

Drogba smiled bitterly, and I have to say that Mourinho knows Ye Qiu very well and Tottenham Hotspur very well.

Indeed, after switching to Tottenham Hotspur, Drogba's salary dropped a lot, but that was what he was willing to do.

"If you are willing to stay, I will do the bad guys. I will talk to Ye Qiu in person. I believe he will not object." Mourinho thought that he would definitely convince Drogba if he offered such a high treatment.

But no one knew that after he finished speaking, Drogba shook his head, "I'm sorry, Jose, I can't agree."

After a pause, the Ivorian smiled silly and showed her mouth full of white teeth, "You know, I respect Ye Qiu very much. I said that even if I don't give money, I am willing to play football in his team. So, for me, it is a very wonderful thing to be able to end my career at Tottenham Hotspur."

He will never forget that Ye Qiu brought him from Ligue 1 to the Premier League, and again and again, while under pressure, he always believed in him without doubt, helping him get rid of one problem and flaw in his own way, making him eventually become the world's top center and the nightmare monster in the eyes of all defenders.

Without Ye Qiu, there would be no Drogba

"Of course, I respect you very much, and my cooperation with you is also very pleasant, but, Jose, if you came to the team half a year ago, I would definitely promise you to stay, but unfortunately, now I only have one idea, that is, to go to Tottenham Hotspur."

Mourinho heard Drogba say this and his attitude is so firm that he knows it will be difficult to change the monster's mind.

He knows Drogba very well. This man is very brave, big, strong, but his heart is very delicate. He will definitely think carefully before making a decision. Once he makes a decision, he will not easily change his decision, especially when the matter involves Ye Qiu, whom he respects, whom he respects,

Mourinho knows very clearly that Ye Qiu's position in the minds of some Chelsea players, such as Lampard and Terry.

The reason is very simple. It was a preconceived complex. Ye Qiu led them, a group of second-rate players who were originally seen by everyone, to complete the transformation from second-rate to first-rate and then to top superstars. So they were very grateful to Ye Qiu and even regarded him as their lifelong mentor.

In this case, no matter how good Mourinho did and how good he was to them, it would be difficult to change the complex in their hearts. So Mourinho had a deep understanding of this when he coached Chelsea, so he told Boas that his biggest regret was to arrive at Chelsea late.

Although Mourinho didn't know why Ye Qiu wanted to introduce several veterans, such as Raul, Pirlo last season, and now Drogba and Nesta, he knew very well that the veterans could also play a huge role in Tottenham Hotspur, who is so young at an average age.

So the first thing he thought was that after leaving Drogba, Ye Qiu would never have the opportunity to convince Lampard and Terry. Therefore, he decided that the first thing he did after coaching Chelsea must be to stabilize the two veterans, and they are the cornerstone of Chelsea.

"Didill, when I see Ye Qiu, remember to tell me that I will challenge his position as the Premier League overlord next season."

After a pause, Mourinho said again: "Also, remember to tell him not to leave the head coach so early, otherwise the Premier League will not be fun."

"Oh, by the way, I'll ask me for a few tickets to the Champions League finals"

After saying that, Mourinho smiled a little.

Monk Drogba was unable to touch his head. Is this the Mourinho who never ended with Ye Qiu?
