I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 99 Brendan Rogers

The opening three-game winning streak is not the best result in the history of Chelsea. Just scoring 10 goals in three games is really the best start in Chelsea history and the best start in the Premier League.

There is no need to choose the best coach of the Premier League in August, there is only one Yunqiao, and Joe Cole, who scored 8 goals in the first three rounds, is the best player of the month in the Premier League.

Except for the delay of Manchester United's game in the third round, after the others are played, Chelsea will naturally be ranked first.This round of Liverpool and Aston Villa played 0:0, Arsenal relied on Van Persie's brace and Denilson's goal to beat Newcastle 3:0.

It is rare to have time to rest in September, and the next round will not start until September 9th.Yunqiao also took advantage of this time to plan the next game.

As early as August 8th, the grouping and schedule of the 28-2008 UEFA Champions League came out. In Monte Carlo, Monaco, UEFA drew lots and the first team was Chelsea (defending champion), Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Lyon, Inter Milan, Real Madrid.The second tier is Bayern, PSV, Villarreal, Roma, Porto, Bremen, Sporting Lisbon, Juventus.

And Chelsea were divided into Group A, the specific grouping situation:
Group A: Chelsea, Roma, Bordeaux, Cluj (Romania).

Group B: Inter Milan, Werder Bremen, Panathinaikos, Anorthosis (Cyprus).

Group C: Barcelona, ​​Sporting Lisbon, Basel, Shakhtar Donetsk.

Group D: Liverpool, PSV, Marseille, Atletico Madrid.

Group E: Manchester United, Villarreal, Celtic, Aalborg (Denmark).

Group F: Lyon, Bayern, Steaua Bucharest, Fiorentina.

Group G: Arsenal, Porto, Fenerbahce, Dynamo Kiev.

Group H: Real Madrid, Juventus, Zenit St. Petersburg, Borisol (Belarus).

皇马遭遇“克星”bai尤文。新世纪两次淘汰赛交锋中，尤文都淘汰了皇马(2004-05赛季1/8决赛总比分2比1、2002-03赛季半决赛总比分4比3)。曼联抽到老对手比利亚雷亚尔，2005-06赛季小组赛，双方两场交锋均以0比0结束，不过他们携手出线的可能性是最大的。

This time there is no obvious group of death. Basically, after the group is divided, the strength is more obvious. Chelsea and Roma in Group A, Inter Milan and Bremen in Group B --- the only difficult group is Group D, Liverpool and Eindhoven , Atletico Madrid, the strength of these three teams may be relatively close, and it is hard to predict who will qualify.

Yunqiao glanced at the other teams in Group A. It’s not that he is too confident. As long as Chelsea play normally, except for Roma, which is more difficult, there must be no problem qualifying. Bordeaux and Bruges, these two teams can only be Be the point boy for Chelsea and Roma.

Chelsea's first Champions League game will be on September 9th, when they will face the Ligue 17 team Bordeaux at home. The opponents in this game are not strong, but Yunqiao is also very worried, that is, on September 9th. In the fourth round, they will challenge Manchester City away. On the 14st, the main event will be played. The fifth round of the Premier League will face the Red Devils Manchester United led by Ferguson at home.

The match against Manchester United is the top priority. This is the first contest between the two sides in the new season. Both Yunqiao and Ferguson will go all out. This season's championship battle may also be between their two teams. contest.

Therefore, the first battle between the two sides naturally became the focus.

The media has already started warming up. Yunqiao has not met an opponent this season, and no one in Manchester City or Bordeaux thinks they are capable of challenging Chelsea.

For the time being, Yunqiao hasn't thought about it so much, he is now trying to find a way to keep the person in front of him.

Brendan Rogers, who came to Chelsea earlier than Yunqiao, had become Chelsea's reserve team coach in 2006, when Clarke recommended it to Mourinho.

Rogers is only 35 years old, not much older than Yunqiao. He was born in Northern Ireland and was also in Reading, England when he debuted. However, he did not play in his playing career and retired from Reading at the age of 20. In 1995, he became the coach of the Reading Academy team and played football with a group of young children. After coming to Chelsea, he sometimes even had stars like Sheva.

Yunqiao held Rogers' resignation letter in his hand, and looked at Rogers' personal information. In fact, Yunqiao didn't know too much about him, but he knew that he would become the head coach of Liverpool in the future, and he seemed to be good at leading the team. With such a talent, Yunqiao doesn't want to give up on him now.

But people have also said that the Championship team Watford wants to hire Rodgers as the head coach. This is the head coach of the first team. Although it is the Championship team, it is much better than being the reserve team coach at Chelsea. .

"Brendan, are you really thinking about it?"

Yunqiao didn't want the other party to leave very much, and wanted to drag him into his coaching team, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Yun, I have already thought about it. If there is no accident, I will go to work at Watford." In other words, Watford is not a small club, and it is also a team that has been in the Premier League and the Championship for many years. The head coach is also good, especially Rodgers' first head coaching job.

"Actually, I have always wanted you to come to the first team. Can you think about it now?" Yunqiao invited him with a little selfishness. Whether it is Pochettino or Rogers, he will definitely take the position of head coach in the future Well, when people say that they went out from Yunqiao's men back then, they will lose face.

Hearing what Yunqiao said, Rogers was also stunned. It is also a very good position for Yunqiao to be on the coaching staff, and now it is a good opportunity.It is said that Chelsea's coaching staff is not too many. The important thing is that Yunqiao has been harvesting championships from the very beginning. He is very attractive to people like Rodgers who have not been a head coach. How Yunqiao kneaded the team and how to arrange tactics, these are what many people want to know.

No one believed what the media said, Yunqiao didn't care about anything, everything in training was arranged by the assistant coach, and he didn't do anything himself, just arrange the starting players.

Whoever believes this, even if it comes from Yunqiao and Pochettino, the fans may believe it, but as a professional football coach, how can they believe such words.In their view, Yunqiao must have his own way, at least there should be a complete scouting system. None of the players introduced by Yunqiao after he took over the position have passed Chelsea's scouting system, which shows that he himself has a The scouting system is still extremely powerful, after all, he has introduced many young players.

This is a fatal attraction for many teams, especially some small clubs.And this, Yunqiao did not deny it when he came back, let them say, could it be that I have traveled from the future, I know they are good players, or others will treat him as a fool, or he will be caught and sliced .It's better not to say anything and let people guess.

Rodgers also has his own ideas. He is diligent, studious, and unconstrained in his work, otherwise he would not be favored by Mourinho. If he has the opportunity to study with a head coach like Yunqiao for a period of time, it will definitely be beneficial to his career. great help.

"Yun, are you sure you want me to join the coaching staff?" Rogers couldn't believe it.

It's easy if you move!

Yunqiao said happily: "Of course, Brendan, if you are willing to join my coaching staff, I will be very happy."

Don't think that the assistant coach is inferior to the head coach, let alone a rich coach like Chelsea, who will definitely have more contacts in the future.

Rogers thanked Banyun Bridge: "Thank you, I will definitely do this job well."

Yunqiao got up and hugged Rogers, "Go to Kenyon for a new contract, you won't be disappointed."

On the same day, Chelsea's official website announced the news of Rodgers and Chelsea's coaching staff.
