The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 327 The First Crown

"..Chelsea steals the ball, Deco makes a long pass, looking for Ribery on the right!"

"The Frenchman is very fast, Liverpool's wing defense is very weak, Ribery drove straight in, to the right side of the penalty area!"

"Franck Ribery made a cross, the ball fell into the penalty area, Dudek abandoned the goal and hit the ball with one punch!"

"The ball still fell into the hands of Chelsea, Gudjohnsen stopped the ball and passed it into the penalty area"

"Ronaldinho stepped forward to respond, the goal is scored!!!!"

"My God, Chelsea finally scored again in the 87th minute!"

"Two goals from Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho. After Dudek hit the ball out of the penalty area, Gudjohnsen stopped the ball and passed it low into the penalty area. Ronaldinho then inserted a calm grasp Take advantage of this opportunity and score!"

"The game has basically come to an end now, with Chelsea leading 2-0, it is difficult for Liverpool to reverse the situation!"

"The Chelsea players looked very excited, they danced around the sidelines and they had reason to be happy, because this was their first trophy in 2005, which also set them on the road. This is the first stop to compete for the quadruple crown!"

"This is indeed a very outstanding team. Ye Qiu, Chelsea's head coach, is a very young coach who has been the hottest top coach in European football in the past few years. He has been praised by many media as a professional champion. Because he led the team's performance has always been excellent and stable, leading Chelsea to win the Premier League and Champions League double in the first year, and he is also the first head coach to successfully defend the Champions League since the restructuring of the Champions League!"

"Yes, although he led two teams, he has completed the defense of the Champions League in personal honor, and now he is even ambitious to lead Chelsea to complete the defense!"

In the live TV footage, Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines and applauded with a smile. He was proud of the team's performance.

The current Chelsea is very mature. The players in the team are all old players with rich game experience. Their tactical execution ability is unquestionable. Whatever Ye Qiu wants to do, they can give the best and most perfect presentation. This is undoubtedly It is the championship team that any head coach can only dream of.

As an opponent, Liverpool is also very good. The biggest feature of this team's players is practicality. Except for Gerrard, there are no big names, but the players are very good, which can make the head coach Benitez very good. Mix it up and play the tactical style that the Spaniard wants.

This is a team that completely belongs to Benitez and has been branded with Benitez's mark.

Playing against a team like Liverpool, you have to worry about it all the time, because this team is too targeted. Benitez may be lacking in training the offense, but in terms of restraining the opponent's defensive arrangement, that is really true. As an opponent, Ye Qiu had to give a thumbs up, feeling admiration.

Therefore, encountering such a team often makes people feel extremely tricky, and they dare not relax in the slightest.

Even if there were only a few minutes left in the game, Ye Qiu still kept urging the players on the sidelines to maintain their concentration, and at the same time began to make substitutions to kill some time, and finally successfully dragged out the last few minutes of the game .

Following the referee's whistle, all Chelsea's substitute players, staff and coaching staff rushed into the Millennium Stadium with a single mind. Tens of thousands of Chelsea fans stood up from their seats one after another to win the victory for the team. The League Cup presented the warmest applause and cheers.

Ye Qiu felt a sigh of relief. Standing on the sidelines, exhaling lightly, he was now in the mood to take a good breath of the air in Cardiff. Yes, it smells like sea water, hot sweat, and male hormones.

The Chelsea fans in the stands took out the ones they had prepared before the game. The team celebrated after winning the championship. With the sound of bang bang bang, broken confetti slowly fell like petals in the sky, and the atmosphere on the scene was very warm.

At the same time, some fans took out cardboards and put together photos of players and coach Ye Qiu in the stands to show their gratitude to the coach and players, because this is the first time they won the League Cup after a long absence champion.

The live TV camera also kept revolving around Ye Qiu, and Andy Gray was also full of sighs and admiration.

"In the summer of 2003, Ye Qiu can be said to have arrived in the Premier League accompanied by controversy. At that time, Chelsea was called an upstart. Ferguson, Wenger and other famous coaches all questioned Chelsea's strength. No championship, but Ye Qiu obviously doesn't believe their reasoning."

"I still remember that when Ye Qiu was being interviewed by the newspaper, he used to shout out his own slogan and declaration, saying that as long as you give him trust, money, and time, he can build a wealthy family!"

"In fact, in the past two years, Chelsea has indeed been the most eye-catching team in European and even world football. Not only have their performances been outstanding, but their performance on the pitch has also conquered the fans. Many people even think that Ye Qiu's Chelsea will not lose to Arsene Wenger's Arsenal at all in terms of football, their offense and defense are even better than Arsenal's."

"Last season, Chelsea won the Premier League title with an unbeaten record. So far this season, Chelsea have only lost one game, but they are on the same level in the Premier League, the League Cup, the FA Cup and the Champions League. This is true. It is a very, very good team, and it can also be said that it is a brand new peak of Ye Qiu's coaching career. If they can win the quadruple championship this season, then this team will be recorded in the history of the Premier League!"

"Oh no, actually even if Chelsea don't win the quadruple this season, they will go down in the history books because of their unbeaten title, because of their Premier League and Champions League double, and because of their excellent performances on the pitch. and grades."

"I still remember that before the professionals drew the signs of the great teams that dominated the Premier League era, a Champions League and a successful defense of the Premier League, and these are currently being done by Chelsea. They are the most powerful contenders for the Premier League title this season. In one game, we are still as many as 14 points ahead of Manchester United and Arsenal."

"This season they have already won the Community Shield Cup, the European Super Cup, the Toyota Cup, and now there is another League Cup. The results of this team are indeed enough to disdain the Premier League and make all competitors look up."

While Andy Gray was praising Chelsea, Ye Qiu slowly walked towards Liverpool's players and coaches' benches.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ye Qiu!" Before Ye Qiu approached, Harvey Alonso, who was the closest, offered to extend his hand.

Back then, Ye Qiu had contact with Harvey Alonso, they knew each other, and now they are rivals in the Premier League, but on the football field, the winners and losers are divided, and when everyone meets off the football field, they should still maintain their gentlemanly demeanor .

It's a bit unnecessary to bring the confrontation and mortal enemy complex on the field to the field!
"Thank you, Harvey!" Ye Qiu maintained this proper relaxation. After shaking hands with Harvey Alonso, he patted the Spaniard on the shoulder. He actually admired Harvey Alonso very much. This is Redon Many of the successors who were personally named were regarded by Redondo as the players closest to him in style, but it was a pity that Ye Qiu always missed it.

As the head coach, Ye Qiu himself is very clear that the selection of players should be based on the needs of the team, not his own feelings, so even though he admires players like Harvey Alonso and Kaka, he can't help it. It is more or less a pity to bring them to Chelsea, to bring their own team.

But whose life is perfect?

"Congratulations!" Seeing Ye Qiu approaching, Gerald offered to extend his hand.

"Thank you. You performed very well. You are worthy opponents. This match doesn't explain anything!" Ye Qiu said politely to Gerrard.

The captain of the Red Army responded with a slightly embarrassed smile and didn't say much. He is now regarded as one of the three superstars that Chelsea most wants to acquire. He talked too much with Ye Qiu and got too close, isn't it? a good thing.

"Hello, Rafael!" Ye Qiu walked up to Benitez and shook hands with the Spaniard.

"It's a bit useless to lose!" Benitez was very direct, without any concealment.

In fact, Ye Qiu understands the Spaniard's personality more or less. He belongs to the kind of head coach who is obsessed with it. Apart from football, he has almost no other interests. The way he feels, but in football, he is outrageously stubborn.

It's as if now, he could have said some superficial words like congratulations, but he didn't, but instead revealed that he was unwilling to lose. foot, but Ye Qiu did not do so.

"You still have a chance to take revenge!" Ye Qiu smiled generously.

Benitez listened, nodded seriously, and looked at Ye Qiu, "Yes, there is a chance. We will meet again next time. You won't have the chance to fight like today!"

Ye Qiu also has to admit that Benitez's ability to learn and improve is indeed very good. He will definitely study the problems exposed by Liverpool in this game. If he meets Chelsea next time, he will definitely Will improve and maybe even use this in turn to hit Chelsea.

Of course, football tactics are like this, he can improve here, but he will also expose new flaws in other places.

"I'll wait and see, I hope to have a chance to fight again!" Ye Qiu stretched out his hand again.

After shaking hands, he greeted the Liverpool players and walked back to his coaching bench, where the Chelsea players were already waiting for him to celebrate the team's first championship trophy this year.

After the organizing committee finished arranging the podium, the lights of the Millennium Stadium were turned off one after another under the advance notice of the on-site commentator. Conflict, after all, which team in England does not have football hooligans?

But fortunately, the fans of both sides were obviously more restrained, and there was no conflict. Or, Chelsea's performance convinced Liverpool fans, so the scene was just a little noisy.

When Chelsea's team anthem sounded and Captain Terry led the players onto the podium one after another, there was a burst of applause at the scene, even Liverpool fans cheered for them.

Ronaldinho was the first to receive the trophy, but it was not the championship silver trophy, but the trophy representing the best player in the game, followed by Terry, the captain of the blue team raised it high on behalf of the team The Champions League Silver Cup, roaring crazily, made everyone feel the excitement and joy of the Chelsea players after winning the championship.

In the eyes of many Chelsea fans, especially the local fans, Terry is the person who best embodies the soul of the team. Therefore, they agreed with Ye Qiu's decision to appoint Terry as the captain of the team.

Terry grew up in Chelsea's youth training camp since he was a child. He has been here since he was a child. He started from the bottom and worked as a ball boy for the Blues. And the shortcomings of the Premier League team at that time were still there. They have to shine the shoes of the first-team players and clean the toilets. These are the things that best reflect the English football tradition, and they all exist in Terry.

Now, this little devil has grown up, and this troublemaker who caused troubles for the club when he was young has finally matured. The moment he lifted the trophy, all the Chelsea fans in the audience were chanting special At this moment, Chelsea fans only have him in their hearts, only this captain with blue blood!

In the two seasons Ye Qiu came to Chelsea, Terry and Lampard, the souls of the two teams, performed better and more maturely, which became the biggest affirmation of Ye Qiu from Chelsea fans.

After the team won the championship silver cup, all the players took turns touching one and holding a championship silver cup. When the family portrait was taken at the end, Terry, Lampard, Ronaldinho and others But he pushed Ye Qiu to the most conspicuous position among the players, put his hands on the silver cup, and asked all the reporters to take pictures.

This represented Ye Qiu's status in this team, there was no need to fight for it, no need to grab it, it came naturally!
Although happy to win the League Cup, Chelsea did not specially arrange celebrations for this championship trophy.

To be honest, the weight of the League Cup and the FA Cup is not as good as it used to be. Although they are both traditional cups in England, their influence has not been as great as before. Even the FA Cup, which is known as a hotbed of unpopularity, has little influence force.

For all participating teams, the biggest value of these two major cups is the UEFA Cup qualification, but the problem is that the influence of the current UEFA Cup is obviously not as good as before, so these two major cups are even more tasteless.

As for bonuses, it makes the FA feel even more sad. For relegation teams, staying in the Premier League is the first priority. There is no need to say more about it. For those who cannot qualify for European competitions, there is no worry about relegation For the mid-range teams, instead of trying their best to compete for the cup championship, it is better to compete for the league rankings. If they rise one place, the bonuses and benefits they can get will be more rewarded by the cup champion.

Therefore, for the Premier League teams, the League Cup and the FA Cup are more symbolic than practical. To celebrate, that would be laughable and generous.

After returning to London, Chelsea can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

From the Christmas schedule to the present, Ye Qiu's team has always been tense, playing one game after another, so now they can get a week's rest time, and the first thing Ye Qiu does is to give the team a day off.

There is a saying that is right, rest is to go further.

Ye Qiu also played the role of a good husband during the day of rest. After taking his wife to the hospital in the morning, he even accompanied her for a pregnancy test, because Wellington's obstetrics and gynecology department is also well-known in continental Europe. In addition, Huang Chu works here, so they decided to welcome the birth of their child in this hospital.

But originally he just wanted to play the role of a good husband, but he was noticed by fans and reporters, and the photo of the potbellied Huang Chu was exposed directly. The news of Ye Qiu's wife's pregnancy spread in a very short period of time. all over the world.

Beckham's third son, Cruz, was born in a private hospital in Madrid not long ago, which made the newspapers in England as lively as if it was a festival. They even behaved crazier than the Spanish media, because they relied on such news to conduct Hype and make sales.

Now, the news of Beckham's son had just faded away, and the news of Ye Qiu's wife's pregnancy immediately became the target and focus of hype in major newspapers in England. Ye Qiu had just led the team to win the League Cup, and he was England's most famous head coach in the past two years, so he was not badly attractive.

Facing the attention of the outside media, Ye Qiu specially held a press conference at noon on the first day back to Cobham after vacation, and admitted to the media that his wife Huang Chu was indeed pregnant, but he also hoped that the media would give more support. Have some space between yourself and your wife, and don't cause trouble to your wife.

Regarding the attention caused by her pregnancy, Huang Chu is relatively indifferent. This may have something to do with her personality that has always been relatively indifferent to fame and fortune. She has an elegant nature and doesn't care about others at all. She always only cares about her husband. , as well as relatives and friends, she doesn't care about the rest.

The news comes and goes quickly, and within two days, everyone is like a normal person, going their own way.

After regaining his calm, Ye Qiu also put all his energy into preparing for the battle, because his mother and Huang Chu's parents were taking care of Huang Chu, and Huang Chu himself was a doctor, so he had no worries about this aspect .

After a week of rest, Chelsea challenged Norwich away. With the goals of Joe Cole, Lampard and Cannavaro, they defeated Norwich 3:1 in the away game and continued to maintain 14 points against Arsenal. Advantage.

Arsenal defeated Portsmouth 3-0 at home, while Manchester United also fell behind this round, tying Crystal Palace 0-0 away, while Liverpool failed to get out of the shadow of losing the League Cup final, losing 0-1 away to Newcastle.

After finishing the 29th round of the Premier League, the second round of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds ushered in midweek.
