The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 292
"Peter!"

After seeing Stretford, Ye Qiu called Peter Kenyon who was far away in London.

"I'm about to call you!" Peter Kenyon on the other side of the phone obviously returned to a quiet place from a noisy place to talk to Ye Qiu, "I've already mentioned it to the boss, and he hopes to be able to Do everything you can to get Rooney."

Ye Qiu was not surprised by this result. To him, buying Rooney was not a problem. Ribery only played in the professional league for one year. No one is sure that the excellent performance of the first season can not be continued in the second season. The introduction of Rooney is an extra guarantee.

The rookie wall, this is not just talking about it. Many players are amazing in the first season, and then gradually slump.

"I didn't see Rooney, but I saw that vampire-like Stretford!" Ye Qiu shook his head.

Peter Kenyon on the phone was obviously laughing, "This is a guy that even Ferguson feels a headache about. Even the Sun newspaper, which is praised by many football people as having no bottom line, uses hooligans, liars and blackmailers. Such a title to describe this outstanding agent, you can think for yourself."

Ye Qiu couldn't think of any good solution to this except for a wry smile. He really wasn't good at dealing with these people. If he hadn't come to Portugal to watch the football and wanted to meet Rooney by the way, He would never want to see Stretford, deal with these fellows, and his hair is gray.

"What about Everton?" Ye Qiu asked.

Peter Kenyon shook his head, "They are obviously adopting delaying tactics, because they are sure that Manchester United will make a move, and Rooney will continue to appreciate during the European Cup. If England can win the championship, maybe..."

"Fucking to win the championship!" Ye Qiu cursed angrily, "If England can win the championship this year, I will twist my head off and use it as a chair for you to sit on. This team obviously lacks the ability to control the midfield. I can't think of it at all. The reason why they can win the championship!"

"Ahem, please respect me, I'm also from England!" Peter Kenyon coughed twice as a reminder.

"I'm sorry!" Ye Qiu also felt that he had lost his composure, that damned Stretford wouldn't even let him see him once.

"Actually, although they called out a sky-high price of 5000 million pounds, in fact, no one believes this, even they themselves. I think the most important thing now is to confirm this transfer as soon as possible." Peter Kenny En did not pursue it.

After Ye Qiu clicked his tongue twice, he thought for a while, "Then stop dawdling with Everton, just be more aggressive, pay in cash, 3500 million euros, instant kill!" Sometimes, you are the one who negotiates the transfer fee It's a tug-of-war, but often times, the longer you talk, the higher the transfer price.

If Ferguson had settled on Ronaldinho earlier, it would have been a matter of several million euros, and if they had settled on Rooney earlier, it would have been estimated to be around 1000 million pounds. high.

Ye Qiu is very aware of Rooney's value. In his previous life, Manchester United finally got Rooney for about 3700 million euros, and it was paid in one year. This is actually not very satisfactory to Everton, because it is equivalent to paying in installments. It will pass, and Manchester United may delay the payment in the future.

Therefore, relatively speaking, if Chelsea directly cash out, the competitive advantage is still obvious.

And now Chelsea has a Champions League and Premier League champion in hand, and this season is also a big favorite team to win the Champions League and Premier League again. On the other hand, Manchester United, as a traditional giant, Manchester United's performance last season was indeed unsatisfactory, so in comparison, Chelsea There is no disadvantage at all.

"Still the old rules, get it done before the training camp?" Peter Kenyon already knew Ye Qiu's habits well.

"Yes!" Ye Qiu nodded.

"Well, I'll talk to Everton again and give you an answer as soon as possible!" said Peter Kenyon.

Facts have proved that England did not have the last laugh.

On the second day after Ye Qiu arrived in Portugal, England still stopped at Portugal's feet and was unfortunately eliminated from the European Cup.

Eriksson's team played some very different styles in this European Cup, holding high the banner of offensive football, but it also exposed the shortcomings and shortcomings of the English midfielder in controlling the scene.

Although Eriksson's England team seems to be playing very unrestrained now, it is still difficult to conceal his slightly conservative mentality. Ten Carter described the scene to Ye Qiu in the first round of the group against France. , England played too conservatively after taking the lead and shrank too much, which directly led to being reversed by France.

Of course, England conceded a goal in the final stage, and England's defensive attention was indeed a problem, but in the final analysis, it was caused by the conservative tactical mentality, which gave the players a psychological hint that it would be better to end the game as soon as possible and get 3 points as soon as possible.

On the one hand, you have to play offensively, and on the other hand, you have to play conservatively. It is really difficult to have the best of both worlds.

There is another problem. England's midfield seems to be very strong, but in fact there are many problems. Beckham has outstanding long pass scheduling, Sneijder and Lampard have excellent scoring ability from the back, and this In the first game, Eriksson dragged Lampard behind and played the midfielder to intercept, which obviously directly exposed the coexistence problem between Lampard and Gerrard.

Rooney's route is actually to retreat to help the midfielder to get the ball. Although he looks like a forward, he is actually a midfielder, and this feature is very good in the group stage. After the injury, England clearly lost control at this point.

Scolari is an old fox, and he clearly saw through this point, so on the one hand, Deco was allowed to firmly grasp the control of the midfield and possession of the ball, and on the other hand, Rui Costa was replaced. Further strengthen the control of the midfield, and this directly caused Portugal to score two goals in a row.

It can be said that at this moment, England is dead. Even if Lampard equalized the score later, in the penalty shootout, England obviously lost that spirit, and the goalkeeper problem has always been England's weakness.

Ye Qiu watched the match live, and he felt that the reason Eriksson lost was that he actually made two fatal mistakes, one long-term and one short-term.

The so-called long-term is because he did not draw up a perfect offensive routine for England, which is too monotonous. This is the problem of weak offense exposed after England played offensive football. The core of true attacking football is something that Eriksen, a defensive coach, has clearly missed.

The short-term problem is that after scoring the lead in the game, Rooney went off due to injury. Eriksson let the midfielder retreat to the front of the penalty area early and gave up all his 30-meter area to the opponent. Portugal's possession of the ball is basically here. One by one.

The core of the defense is the 30-meter area, because in possession of the ball at 30 meters, every pass of the opponent may turn into the last pass, which may create murderous intentions, and even most of the time, Portugal creates murderous intentions. The chances were not outstanding, but Scolari immediately replaced one of the deadliest passers, Rui Costa.

This is a logical result. I have already completed the possession of the ball in the 30-meter area, but there are not many opportunities created, so I will replace a player who is good at delivering deadly passes in this area.

The mystery and interestingness of tactics is that any head coach not only has a long-term strategic vision, but also needs to have on-the-spot response and quick wit in the face of immediate difficulties.

After Ye Qiu watched the England game, he couldn't help but reflect on what he had been thinking about for a long time. He also felt more and more that Rooney might be a very good candidate on the right flank, and he could follow Chelsea's tactics this season. Berry formed a strong competitive force, urging the Frenchman to continue to improve.

how to say?

Ye Qiu is going to play 4231 this season, but in fact it can't be said to be 4231, because he wants the two left and right wingers to attack the opponent's defensive junction more, that is, the two ribs, because Drogba is in front of him. Suppress the opponent's two central defenders. In this way, unless the opponent is willing to use two midfielders to defend, otherwise, one side of the two ribs will always show flaws.

And Ye Qiu's tactic is to use Ronaldinho, Ribery or Rooney with super personal ability and outstanding individual players to attack the opponent's two ribs, and through the echoes between the two attacking players Come break the line of defense.

Ronaldinho is very good at dribbling the ball in the left rib, and after breaking through, he passes diagonally to find his teammates on the right rib. This is also a set of offensive routines that Chelsea was very good at last season. If the right rib is added this season , That is bound to bring a more painful blow to the opponent, and Chelsea's offense will also have a leap forward.

However, Ye Qiu also has balance considerations, so Lampard and Drogba are very important on the tactical level. They are the first link in the team's defensive system. Coupled with Ribery, they may be willing to fight and fight hard. Wayne Rooney, Chelsea's entire central and frontcourt pressure may decline compared to last season, but the offensive power will be greatly improved.

Ye Qiu's strategy last season was to seek stability, so he used the combination of Davis and Makelele, but this season his team has been well-formed, and if he wants to improve and go further, he must To take one, it will almost certainly be Davis.

With such a large lineup and bench thickness of Chelsea, and such rich offensive routines, as long as the team's entire offensive and defensive system is well-rounded, Ye Qiu is fully confident that he can beat all opponents again.

Of course, this is also affected by various factors such as player injuries and adaptability after tactical adjustments.

But Ye Qiu is very ambitious now, and wants to rely on this set of lineup and tactics to reach the top of Europe for the third time!

The final result of the European Cup was not too surprising. Just like Ye Qiu's previous life, Rehhagel's Greece unexpectedly defeated all opponents and won Greece's first European Cup championship in history. The dark horse miracle that was even darker in Denmark at that time won the admiration of the whole world.

Otto the Great Rehhagel, the German coach who led Kaiserslautern to create the miracle of a newly promoted team, now once again leads the Greeks to create a mythical team with impeccable overall defense and iron-like tactical discipline. miracle.

This was something no one could have imagined before the game, but after the game, everyone had a very strong interest in Rehagel's Greece, and many people began to discover that Rehagel's tactics are to some extent , has a lot in common with Ye Qiu, and even Rehhagel himself admitted that he did get some inspiration from Ye Qiu's Ajax and Chelsea.

The German coach's sincere explanation to the media made Ye Qiu quite ashamed, because he is still studying Rehhagel's overall football philosophy through the learning room of the godfather's training system, but he did not expect that Rehhagel Geer in turn learned from him. Who is the cause and who is the effect?

However, almost all the media believed that Ye Qiu was the cause.

The reason is very simple. Almost all the media believe that the Champions League is gradually becoming the wind vane of world football tactics, and Ye Qiu, who has led the team to the top of Europe in the past two years, undoubtedly represents the wind vane.

Integral football, meticulous teamwork, and a front-to-back defensive system are the foundations of Ye Qiu's tactics, and they have all been verified by Rehhagel. When the world discusses football, it must talk about Ye Qiu, Rehhagel, and overall football.

In the European Cup's best team, Chelsea, the new European champions, encountered embarrassment and doubts, because they only had Lampard selected, while Manchester United had Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Liverpool had With Barosch selected, Arsenal is even more embarrassed, and no one is shortlisted for the best team list.

However, this list obviously does not explain the problem. For example, the best goalkeepers are Cech of the Czech Republic and Nicopolidis of Greece. But in fact, if you look at it as a whole, Isaacson from Sweden is the best performer. The most stable goalkeeper, the 22-year-old goalkeeper currently playing in the Swedish Super League has attracted the attention of many top European league teams.

With the end of the European Cup, the transfer flames of the four major European leagues have also begun to become intense, and the major giants have also sounded the clarion call to snatch the stars who performed well in the European Cup, including several popular players Such as Baros and Rooney.

The first to ignite the wave of Premier League transfers was Newcastle. The Magpies announced the introduction of Kluivert from Barcelona. But let go of striker Kanu, who went to West Bromwich Albion.

Wenger's transfer strategy is obviously to further reform the team's youth, and Manchester United is also thinking about it.

Ferguson announced the introduction of the young teenager Herald Pique from Barcelona, ​​and then introduced the talented striker Rossi from Serie A Parma. Rossi, and his performance in the Italian national team at all levels is also very eye-catching.

In addition, Leeds United, which has been relegated, has become the target of the major teams in the Premier League. Players in this team, including famous players such as Alan Smith and Viduka, have been targeted by Manchester United and other major teams. Gouging and seducing.

There is a saying that is true, the wall is overthrown and everyone is pushing, and the drum is broken by thousands of people. Even West Ham United, which has already been relegated, is also doomed. The main midfielder Michael Carrick switched to Tottenham in north London. prick.

Liverpool also made a big deal. With the dismissal of the famous Marshal Houllier, Rafael Benitez from Valencia took charge of the Anfield Stadium, and his arrival also made Liverpool panic. The golden boy Owen May switch to Real Madrid, Daniel Murphy will also vote for another team, and the arrival of Benitez also makes Liverpool's signings biased towards Spain, including Aimar, Luis Garcia and other players have been involved with the Red Army. .

While the main Premier League opponents are sounding the horn of the arms race, there is not much movement in Chelsea's signings. Ye Qiu returned to London after the European Cup. The media also knew that Ye Qiu had returned, but Chelsea did not make too much noise. The big move, so far, is just to announce the rejection of Paris Saint-Germain's proposal to buy out Michael Essien and to recall the Ghanaian midfielder.

Ye Qiu commented on the official website announcing the return of Michael Essien. He believed that Michael Essien would become an important member of the team. He had enough strength and potential to compete for a place in Chelsea's midfield.

At the same time, some media in the transfer market broke the news that Chelsea had proposed a transfer offer of up to 3500 million euros to Everton's golden boy Wayne Rooney. If Everton agrees, Rooney will After becoming Saviola, the youngest player with the most expensive transfer fee.

This news quickly attracted the attention of the whole world, because all the fans are paying attention to whether Chelsea will continue to sign big money this summer like last season, and will Rooney be one of them?
In an interview with The Times, Ye Qiu said that Chelsea will no longer blindly spend a lot of money in signings, but will only properly strengthen the weak positions of the team in a targeted manner.

"We have a group of very good players and a group of talented potential rookies. I don't think it is necessary for us to continue to spend a lot of money. Therefore, all the news from the outside world that Chelsea will introduce superstars is false!"

Ye Qiu's statement is also tantamount to putting an end to the rumors of Chelsea introducing superstars including Andriy Shevchenko.

And he knew very well in his heart that this news must have been leaked by Everton or Rooney's agent, and the meaning was obvious, which was to attract as many potential buyers as possible. Deny, stand still.

With Chelsea's denial, many people thought it was Everton's unilateral hype, and the price of 3500 million euros was indeed expensive. How much did Beckham and Irving cost?A Rooney will be 3500 million?
Manchester United also seemed to be affected, and continued to stand still, using the introduction of Rossi and Alan Smith to create pressure.

Ferguson also knew very well in his heart that Rooney's such a heavy transfer would not be settled overnight, it would definitely be a long-term battle, so he was not in a hurry, but set his sights on the left back that he had always wanted to strengthen on the signings.

But at this time, Chelsea suddenly held a press conference to announce the transfer results, and said that the summer transfer door is closed!
