The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 310 Broker Disturbance

Sometimes things really take a turn for the worse.

Before Arsenal went all the way, leading Chelsea by as much as 5 points, it seemed to many people that it was possible to go away, but they encountered a draw when they met Manchester United, while Chelsea lost to Ye Qiu. After the team's first league game, it ushered in a full-scale explosion.

The 7-0 victory over Blackburn seems to have injected a strong sense of self-confidence into Chelsea.

Three days later, in the round of 32 knockout rounds of the League Cup, Chelsea faced West Ham United in the English Championship. Ye Qiu still arranged Fabregas, Messi, Van Persie and other young players to start the game, plus Essien, Sun Jihai, Hein As a result, the team defeated the visiting West Ham United 2:1 at home and successfully advanced to the next round.

But this is not the point, because no one will care about a League Cup match, even if Chelsea is eliminated, it doesn't matter. The real focus is on the Premier League and the Champions League, which is the focus of everyone's attention.

On the weekend again, Chelsea played away against West Bromwich Albion in bloomers.

In fact, West Bromwich Albion was obviously under the pressure of Chelsea's big win over the opponent in the last round. After the start, they put on a posture and determination to stick to the end. This also made Chelsea's offense once contained, and even the entire team In the first half, Chelsea could only rely on Deco's corner kick at the last moment, and Gallas, who replaced Cannavaro as the starter, scored with a header.

But in the second half, the situation turned around, and Chelsea obviously played more openly, especially in terms of tactical width, widening and thinning West Bromwich Albion's defense as much as possible, and then making use of the players' personal abilities and the team's skilled Running without the ball, interspersed back and forth, creating opportunities, and disintegrating the overall situation after a partial breakthrough.

In the 51st minute, Drogba finally scored with Chelsea's attack after the opening.

In the team's victory over Blackburn, Ronaldinho, Lampard and Rooney all scored twice, but only the unlucky Ivorian didn't score, which made Drogba very depressed After a while, but this time, he finally scored.

In the 59th minute, after leading by two goals, Chelsea played another offensive storm. Ronaldinho made another victory for Chelsea, 3:0!

In the 76th minute and the 81st minute, Drogba and Lampard both scored goals, and finally helped Chelsea beat West Bromwich Albion 5-0 in the away game. An astonishing record of 12 clean sheets in rounds.

After the team beat Blackburn, many media and professionals questioned Ye Qiu and Chelsea's approach and self-confidence. They believed that the game was a coincidence, and felt that Chelsea might just perform better in one game. .

But now, Chelsea completely defeated all doubts with a 5:0 away victory.

Ferguson's Manchester United was unlucky, losing 0:2 away to Portsmouth.

As Ye Qiu said, in the professional league, as long as any team has obvious tactical loopholes, professional coaches can catch them, unless it is the kind of head coach with poor tactical quality, and as long as they can Grasping the fatal weakness, coupled with the right players in the team to attack, even the mighty Manchester United may lose to the relegation team.

Portsmouth defeated Manchester United at home in this game. The best thing they did was to suppress Manchester United's midfield, isolate Manchester United's forwards, and lost the pass from the midfield, even if it was Manchester United's extravagant striker. It looks like a ranger.

After Arsenal drew with Manchester United, they once again drew with Southampton at home.

Yes, you heard it right, it was a draw, because although Arsenal scored first, they were quickly reversed by Southampton with two goals in a row, and then they evened the score at the last minute, and finally drew with Southampton 2:2 at home.

What's more, from the perspective of the game process, Henry's game seemed invisible, Reyes' performance was not as eye-catching as at the beginning of the season, Vieira was also useless, Arsenal seemed to have encountered problems, and it was surprising Surprisingly, the two conceded goals were all headers, which also exposed Arsenal's problems in defense against high balls.

After the 11th round of the league, Arsenal's previous lead of 5 points was quickly recovered by Chelsea to 1 point. The situation can be described as precarious, especially when Chelsea kept beating their opponents by a large score. The state of the Gunners It seems to be declining rapidly, which has to be said to be very worrying for Arsenal.

The Guardian made a special comment, thinking, "Although Wenger kept emphasizing that Arsenal will inevitably decline after experiencing a round of state peaks, we still have a good opinion of Arsenal in the last two rounds. In addition to being disappointed with the performance, I also have an extra layer of worry about this team."

"We all know that defense is crucial for any team to succeed, and someone even once described the relationship between defense and offense like this, that is, excellent defense can make your offense the cherry on the cake, bright and dazzling And it’s sweet and delicious, but the offense without defensive support is like stepping on the edge of a cliff with one foot, you don’t know when you will fall, and you are worried!”

"Manchester United's loss this round is actually not surprising. Ferguson's team is a typical top-heavy team. Last season's loss, Ferguson can find many excuses for the team, such as injuries, such as the absence of Ferdinand, but Now, they have no injuries, Ferdinand is back, but the result? United are fifth, worse than last season!"

"The biggest problem for Manchester United now is not their offense, but the defense and organization of the midfield. Keane is obviously old. The midfield he sits in no longer has the dominance of the past. With Beckham With James gone, there is a huge vacuum in Manchester United's midfield and no one can fill it."

"On the defensive line, Ferdinand is really good. After his comeback, Manchester United's ranking has steadily improved, but the problem is that Sylvester has become the most unstable bomb in Manchester United's defense. Ferdinand needs an excellent partner, such as John Terry. !"

"Imbalance is the biggest problem for Manchester United, and it is also the biggest challenge that Ferguson will face next. If he can't solve this problem during the winter break, then there is still no way for Manchester United to make a difference this season!"

"On the contrary, Arsenal's lineup is very balanced and stable, but they have always faced a problem, that is, the protection of the two ribs, because we all know that Vieira is getting better and better. The joining of Berto Silva and Edu, the French midfielder, oh no, it should be said that the performance of the French midfielder is getting more and more amazing. He doesn't want to be a midfielder, but hopes that he can be both offensive and defensive. The midfield commander, this is what Wenger wants!"

"But the problem is that when Vieira goes up, there is a defensive player behind him. The protection of the two ribs is a big problem, and once the two ribs are broken and used, such as this game, Southampton will be in trouble. They made full use of Arsenal's protection on both ribs, adopted a 45-degree cross, used the high altitude to resolve the battle, and completely captured the Highbury Stadium!"

"Actually, this problem is not impossible to solve, just like the combination of Chelsea, Cannavaro and Terry is a bit like the combination of Kolo Toure and Campbell. Chelsea's two wingers are even more eager than Arsenal. attack, but Ye Qiu made targeted arrangements for the defense and midfield."

"Only one of the left and right wingers can go up at any time, so as to ensure the number of people invested in the defense, while Makelele always sits at the front of the defense line, and Deco also provides assistance and support anytime and anywhere, ensuring that it is effective for both flanks protection of."

"But many times, such a seemingly reasonable defensive layout will still have problems. For example, when Terry is pulled away and the opponent throws the ball into the penalty area, Cannavaro's height disadvantage becomes the team's biggest problem. hidden danger."

"Seeing this, do you think that the two goals conceded by Arsenal against Southampton are similar to this routine?"

"So, how did Chelsea solve it? It's very simple, boldly expand the goalkeeper's defensive area and area, encourage Van der Sar to leave the goal line, seize the opportunity to attack decisively, and use the goalkeeper's decisive attack to block the defense line. This loophole is why Chelsea's defense has been so solid in the past two seasons, and why Cannavarona's height disadvantage, which was originally thought to be blown away by the Premier League's high ball, has not been revealed at all. s reason!"

"Many people say that Ye Qiu is world-class in terms of offense, but in fact, Ye Qiu is also absolutely world-class in terms of training offense and organizing defense. At least in terms of introducing players and arranging team tactics, It’s not enough to be really unadmirable, but just look at Lehmann’s frequent mistakes at Arsenal, and Van der Sar’s role in filling Chelsea’s defense, we have to admit that Ye Qiu has obviously done better in this respect. Ferguson, better than Wenger!"

"After the downturn after the start of the season, the unbeaten record was ended, and the performance was questioned and criticized, but Chelsea withstood the pressure and ushered in an explosion. We can even make a judgment. Unless there are major changes, otherwise , with Chelsea's balance and huge substitute lineup, this year's Premier League is still in the hands of Chelsea!"

The long-form report and analysis of the Guardian is well-founded. It not only provides very detailed game data, but also combines professional tactical analysis. Among them, the analysis of the two defensive lines of Chelsea and Arsenal is even more penetrating. .

Even former Arsenal coach George Graham repeatedly reminded Wenger in an interview with the Guardian, "Once Chelsea regains the confidence and rhythm to win, then this Chelsea team will become unstoppable!"

But sometimes, it's one thing to know, it's another thing to want to stop it, but it's another thing to be able to do it.

In the middle of the week ushered in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Chelsea went to the icy Moscow. Ye Qiu adopted a safe tactic and arranged for Heinze, Sun Jihai, Joe Cole, Davis and many other players to start. The difficult 1:0 defeated the opponent and successfully won four consecutive victories from the Champions League group stage.

Chelsea's previous matches in the Premier League have been questioned, causing many people to mistakenly believe that Chelsea's performance is poor under the exaggeration of the media, but in fact, Chelsea's performance is very stable no matter whether it is in the Premier League or in the Champions League The omissions, even in the Premier League, are only slightly inferior in comparison to the crazy Arsenal.

Returning to London from Moscow, Chelsea ushered in Moyes' Everton, and Rooney ushered in his old owner.

Before this game, the Liverpool City Echo published a news that Rooney's former agent Mike Shkin accused the current agent Stretford, thinking that this famous super agent in England In the process of recruiting Rooney under his command, he used many unfair competitive methods, which harmed their interests.

This was originally just a piece of inconspicuous news, but there are many people who are popular. Rooney is so popular now that all boats are rising. Even his agent Stretford is also popular. Naturally, there are more rumors, which is very impressive Surprisingly, this piece of news was quickly reprinted and reported by the media, and a lot of inside stories were even gradually unearthed.

For example, McShkin said that not long ago Stretford had invited him and his assistants to a small restaurant near Cheshire for negotiations, hoping that they would not disclose the process of Rooney switching agents, and expressed his willingness to pay 25 yuan for this. [-] pounds of hush money, but this proposal was rejected by McShkin and his assistants.

At the same time, the media also reported that after Wayne Rooney joined Chelsea, another assistant of McShkin chased him to Heathrow Airport, arrested Stretford, and demanded half of Rooney's transfer proceeds, otherwise he would be killed. The news broke out to the outside world, but the talks between the two sides collapsed again.

Stretford has an extraordinary influence in English football, and McShkin and others are unknown. If Rooney were not famous, they would not be known, so in the past period of time, they It can be said that there is no way to accuse.

After media rendering, Stretford reacted quickly. On the day Chelsea faced Everton, the England super agent said in an interview with the media that the accusations made by these people were obviously false accusations. When I first recruited Rooney, the procedures were reasonable and legal. On the contrary, after seeing Rooney's popularity, they were jealous of their achievements and wanted a piece of the pie, and they even blackmailed and threatened themselves.

"I have evidence of their extortion and intimidation here, and I will file a complaint with the police!"

This wave of disputes did not affect Chelsea's game against Everton. The Blues defeated Everton 2-0 cleanly at home, but Rooney was obviously affected in the game. He had no goals or assists and performed very well. generally.

On the second day after the game, the London police received a complaint from Stretford, believing that McShkin and others had threatened and blackmailed him, and hoped that the police could stop this gang of rogues from attacking him and Harassment by his players.

The police responded quickly. They summoned Stretford, McShkin and several of his assistants for questioning. But at this moment, the police received a report. A case, and is willing to help the police crack this seemingly confusing case.

Ye Qiu didn't care about the police's handling of the case and the media's attention. He only cared about his players, and he didn't know what was going on. The only thing that was certain was that Stein Retford is definitely not clean, but he doesn't want to affect Rooney.

So, on the second day after playing Everton, Ye Qiu called Rooney to his office and had a round of conversation with him, in which he talked about the impact of this turmoil on him.

"Don't worry, head, I promise, I won't let this matter affect my game and training!" Rooney calmly assured Ye Qiu, and said that the reason why he was in poor form when he played Everton More or less because of facing his old club.

After Ye Qiu talked with Rooney, he was still very satisfied with his mental state, and he immediately accepted the media interview, appealing to the media not to put too much pressure on Rooney, after all, he is only an 18-year-old kid.

"What I want to say is that the duty of an agent is to serve the players, so I don't think that the dispute between Stretford and Rooney's former agent has anything to do with Rooney, but I think the judiciary should really take care of it." Just take care of these things, and the media shouldn't hype them too much, so as not to affect my players."

"As Rooney's head coach, all I need to do is to help him when necessary. I have always said that excessive media attention is not a good thing for a young player. This time the thing is A good example, and all I have to do is protect my player so that he can keep his feet on the ground and not be influenced by the outside world."

"Rooney is indeed a very good player, but he is still a child. When he performed well, we should give praise and affirmation, but not too much. When he performed poorly, We should also give objective criticism, help him progress and improve, and give encouragement, this is the best environment for a young player!"

"This is also the last time that Chelsea and I will answer the question about the agent dispute. From now on, the players, the club and I will not express our opinions on this matter. Everything will be resolved by the police!" Ye Qiu expressed his opinion again. view.

His impression of Stretford has not been good, but it is not bad, but he has also heard some disputes between Stretford and the black gold case, but now these things have come to an end Ye Qiu didn't even think about what to do.

However, vaguely, he heard some clues from Peter Kenyon and some other people in the club. It seemed that they were all suspecting that someone was going to attack Stretford. And Ye Qiu immediately thought of a person, Pini Zahavi, this person had long wanted to swallow Rooney, and he even wanted to monopolize Chelsea.

Could it really be him?
