The Godfather of Football

"Welcome to the BBC Morning News!"

"In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final the night before yesterday, Chelsea played against Porto at home. In this game, Chelsea's main player Ronaldinho suffered a serious foul from the opponent's player Pepe and left the field due to injury, but the referee did not punish Pepe at all, which made Chelsea's head coach Ye Qiu very dissatisfied and collided with the referee on the spot."

"Yesterday evening, the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland officially issued a penalty for this incident, sentencing Chelsea's head coach Ye Qiu to a two-match ban and a fine of 20,000 euros. These two bans will include all events organized by UEFA. In other words, even if Chelsea reaches the final, Ye Qiu can only sit in the stands in the end!"

"The official spokesperson of UEFA said that the UEFA Referee Committee accepted the match report of the referee Sarr and the fourth official and believed that It is inevitable that the referee will make mistakes in his enforcement, but Ye Qiu's collision with the referee is of a bad nature and must be severely punished, so he was given a heavy fine of two games and a fine of 20,000 euros. "

"At the same time, the official spokesperson of UEFA also mentioned that after Ye Qiu was sent to the stands, he still used his mobile phone to remotely control the game and remotely controlled the assistant coach to adjust the tactics. He criticized it and believed that this violated UEFA regulations. UEFA also stated that if Ye Qiu continues to use mobile phones and other methods to contact the team in the next game, he will be given additional punishment! "

The news of BBC TV also broadcast the video and clips of Ye Qiu using his mobile phone to remotely control the game in the stands, and even reprinted some opinions of netizens on the Internet. Almost all of them were praising, either praising Ye Qiu for not needing to go out in person, and being able to kill Mourinho's Porto with a mobile phone remote control, or praising his mobile phone.

This made Ye Qiu, who was sitting in the living room and watching the morning news, laugh helplessly. His only reward was that his phone became very popular. I believe that the whole world is paying attention to this phone now. Many newspapers have said that if Chelsea reaches the final, this phone will bring Chelsea more than 10 million euros in revenue.

Some professionals even came out to comment that Ye Qiu's phone can still maintain stable calls at Stamford Bridge with so many fans. The signal and quality of this phone are very good. In addition, some newspapers and media have published some photos of this phone, and found that there is only one physical button on the phone, and the rest are all touch-sensitive.

For Ye Qiu, this is more or less a blessing in disguise.

He was not surprised to be banned for two games. Just because he was sent off with a red card, and now UEFA intends to prevent Chelsea from defending the title, it will definitely not be a light punishment. Although Ye Qiu and Peter Kenyon had a phone call before and said that they would appeal, Ye Qiu felt that the possibility of success was very low.

Now for Chelsea, it is really raining on the roof.

Ronaldinho, Makelele and Van der Sar are all out due to injuries. Ronaldinho and Van der Sar have already been confirmed in advance and are unlikely to catch up with this season's games. Makelele needs further observation. Even if he catches up, it should be the last one or two games.

And Ye Qiu got the statistics from the coaching staff yesterday. Chelsea now has many players facing the risk of yellow card suspension, including Lampard, Terry, Gudjohnsen, Deco, Evra and Cannavaro. If they get cards again at the Dragon Stadium, even if Chelsea advances, they will miss the final.

Now it is really a road of no return for Ye Qiu. He can only take one step at a time, because with the absence of players such as Ronaldinho, Makelele and Van der Sar, Lampard, Terry and other players must play. Gudjohnsen has been the main center after Drogba was injured, and he must play, no choice!

"Don't be so sad all the time. Come, let me massage you!" Huang Chu, who was pregnant, walked to Ye Qiu's side, sat down, pulled Ye Qiu, let him rest his head on his legs, and gently massaged his temples and eyebrows with his hands.

Looking up at his wife from this angle, Ye Qiu felt that Huang Chu was more beautiful than ever before, especially after she got pregnant, the whole person had a bit more maternal nature. If his parents were not there, he would really consider hugging his wife and kissing her.

However, the tender time always passed quickly, and Ye Qiu's mobile phone on the table soon rang.

Huang Chu took it and handed it to Ye Qiu. At a glance, it turned out to be Ten Cate.

Ye Qiu rarely came to the administrative office of Stamford Bridge. Except for attending some regular meetings every month, he almost never set foot here. This was the tacit understanding and division of labor between him and Peter Kenyon.

Therefore, when Ye Qiu appeared at Stamford Bridge, not only the security guards were surprised, but also the administrative staff. Especially when they saw him heading straight to the chairman's office with obvious anger, they immediately felt that something was wrong.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu!" The secretary outside the chairman's office stood up and greeted politely, but when she saw Ye Qiu trying to go over and knock on the door, she immediately blocked Ye Qiu, "Sorry, Mr. Ye Qiu, Mr. Abramovich said that he is in a meeting and will not see guests for the time being!"

As expected, Ye Qiu smiled, "Then please go and tell him now, I'm in a hurry and can't wait!"

Although it was a smile, it made the secretary feel a kind of majesty that could not be refused.

Soon, Peter Kenyon also appeared, and he directly grabbed Ye Qiu, "What happened?"

Ye Qiu looked at Peter Kenyon, as if he was observing whether this person was worthy of his trust, but in the end, what he saw was surprise, "Do you know Avram Grant?"

"Afran Grant?" Peter Kenyon frowned and nodded: "We know each other, what's the matter?"

Ye Qiu couldn't help but nod, "When did he become our technical director and run over early in the morning to take over the team?"

"I don't know!" Peter Kenyon was stunned. He, the CEO, didn't even know about such a big thing.

Ye Qiu saw that Peter Kenyon's surprise was not fake. He had seen many people with his eyes. Peter Kenyon couldn't deceive him, because the bald man's surprise was not fake. Even a blind person could see it, especially when He immediately realized that it was impossible to fake his surprise when he realized the meaning behind the fact that he had been kept in the dark.

"So, I want to get an answer!" Ye Qiu looked towards the chairman's office.

At this moment, the door to Abramovich's office was finally opened, and Abramovich walked out with a smile. He stretched out his hand towards Ye Qiu from a distance along the way. The person following behind him was not the recent one. Pini Zahavi, who has been close to Abramovich for a while?

"Ye Qiu, you have misunderstood this matter!" Abramovich walked up to Ye Qiu and took the initiative to hold Ye Qiu's hand.

Ye Qiu looked at Abramovich with a kind smile on his face, as if he wanted to find something on Abramovich's face, and soon, he also smiled, "Really? I misunderstood. ?”

"Of course!" Abramovich replied without hesitation, "Come on, let's go inside and talk!"

With that said, Abramovich took Ye Qiu's hand and walked into the office. Pini Zahavi followed behind, while Peter Kenyon clearly saw something on the Israeli agent's face. He was so proud, which made him feel bad.

Ordinary employees are not qualified to know about high-level affairs. They close the door, leaving a group of employees outside who still don't understand.

"Afran and I have been good friends for many years. He has decades of independent coaching experience in Israel. He is very rich and has high tactical literacy. This time he happened to come to London and you were suspended. I know very well. The head coach is the core of a team, and as you Chinese say, a snake cannot survive without a head, so I hope he will join your coaching staff to help you.”

After Abramovich comforted Ye Qiu and sat down, he spoke kindly to the side and introduced his good intentions.

"You know, UEFA has issued a fine. You will be suspended for two games. Of course, the club will unswervingly support you, help you appeal, and support you. The club will also be responsible for the fine, but we must also prevent it. In case, if you are suspended, who will direct the team's games? "

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled and said, "This is not a problem. Tenkat also has many years of independent coaching experience, and he has coached in the Eredivisie before. I think he is fully qualified for this position."

"Mr. Ye Qiu, the media previously revealed that Tenkat replaced Ronaldinho with Joe Cole when Ronaldinho went off due to injury and you were kicked off the field. This was regarded by professionals as A failure also proves that his experience and ability are not enough to take over a giant like Chelsea!" Pini Zahavi said on the sidelines.

Ye Qiu turned his head and looked at Pini Zahavi, "Then I really want to ask Mr. Zahavi, why did Grant take over Chelsea? Is he familiar with and understands Chelsea? He knows the skills of the players. Tactical characteristics? Does he understand my tactical system? Does he know when to replace him?

"Or do you think he is an all-powerful genius who understands this team better than those of us who have been with the players day and night in the past two years after watching a few games? If he is really such a genius, then I am so ignorant that I have never heard of such a number one person in Europe!”

Ye Qiu's words were also very targeted, directly hitting Grant's weakness, which was that he was not familiar with Chelsea at all.

Pini Zahavi was really unable to explain the reason for Ye Qiu's rebuttal. Grant's weakness was very clear to him himself. In the past two years, the core circle of Ye Qiu's coaching staff was all monolithic, and it was all Ye Qiu himself. Man, now finally seizing an opportunity, told Abramovich that he should take the opportunity to insert Grant.

"Ye Qiu, I have absolutely no intention of letting Grant take over the team, nor do I have any intention of letting him control and direct the team for you. I originally wanted him to help you. If you feel it is inappropriate, then In this way, I have already issued an appointment to him, and there is no reason to withdraw it. I will let him take the title of technical director and stay in Cobham and do nothing. Do whatever you want. Treat him as if he does not exist at all. This can always be done. Already?"

Ye Qiu looked deeply at Abramovich, and then glanced at Pini Zahavi. He had to admit that this move was indeed very beautiful. He really couldn't refute it, because his boss had already made so many concessions. If you continue to insist on it, it will seem a bit unkind, and you will deliberately let him, the boss, lose face.

As for Grant, will he just sit back and do nothing?

He is now like the eunuch who supervised the army in ancient times. The emperor sent him to supervise the army. On the surface, it sounds good and he doesn't care about anything, but in fact, he really doesn't care about anything? How many battles were ruined by the supervisor?

"This division of labor is the best!" Ye Qiu smiled and nodded in agreement.

Abramovich was also afraid that Ye Qiu would turn hostile on the spot. After listening, he laughed, "Ye Qiu, I just discussed with Peter, and I have decided that no matter whether the team can complete the feat of winning the quadruple championship this year, we will renew your contract after the end of this season. This time I hope to extend the contract period. By the way, I hope we can discuss your previous terms again."

Before, Abramovich and Chelsea had no bargaining chips. On the contrary, Ye Qiu had the aura of the European Triple Crown, so Abramovich agreed to the terms that Ye Qiu had the freedom to terminate the contract, but now the situation is different. As Pini Zahavi said, Chelsea is now a wealthy club. How can they not accept such terms?

"Of course, we will raise your salary again this time. What I said before is absolutely true. No matter what happens in the future, I sincerely hope that you can stay at Chelsea and continue to coach!" Abramovich reiterated this point again.

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll think about it and talk about it after the season!"

Abramovich nodded, "Okay!"

At this point, Ye Qiu said nothing, stood up and left Abramovich's office.

Peter Kenyon was a little depressed because Abramovich had never talked to him about Ye Qiu's contract renewal, but he would never say that in the situation just now. And cleaning up the boss's ass is undoubtedly one of the duties of employees.

Peter Kenyon can conclude that re-signing the contract with Ye Qiu must be Abramovich's temporary decision. This is a typical boss's style. On the one hand, Grant was inserted into Cobham with the title of technical director, and he could seize power anytime and anywhere, dividing the power in Ye Qiu's hands. On the other hand, he renewed Ye Qiu's contract to stabilize Ye Qiu's mind.

Being experienced and decisive is indeed not simple!

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first!" Peter Kenyon stood up and said goodbye in frustration.

He now really found that not only himself, but even Ye Qiu, were nothing in Abramovich's eyes. It could be solved by throwing out millions or tens of millions casually. For Abramovich, who was rich as a mountain, millions or tens of millions were just a fraction, and he didn't care at all.

After Peter Kenyon left and closed the door again, Pini Zahavi laughed. He felt very happy to retaliate against Ye Qiu now, because this was the first step in his plan.

"Roman, as I told you before, Ye Qiu is still reluctant to leave Chelsea, leaving this wealthy team that can bring him incomparable glory and success. No head coach in the world will refuse such temptation, because coming to Chelsea means moving towards the peak of success!"

Abramovich also laughed after hearing this, and he also felt that it was a wise choice for Ye Qiu to hold back.

After all, in front of a huge wealthy team, what is the head coach?

Fans? What are fans?

How can fans know what happened inside the team?

Isn't it from the media? The media and the team are a community of interests. What the team says, the media will report it. Who would offend a wealthy team for a fired head coach?

So, many times, whether it is a player or a head coach, for a team, they are all weak!

"Pini!" After laughing, Abramovich also became a little serious, "Tell Avran not to care about the team's affairs. Ye Qiu is a very opinionated person. He doesn't like others to interfere in his team. He has already reluctantly accepted Avran as the technical director. If Avran interferes in the team more, he will not be polite."

The first thing for a boss is his eyes. How can he not know what his subordinates are thinking?

The most important thing for controlling subordinates is to check and balance. If one side dominates, it is inevitable that it will lose control because of its superiority. Therefore, it is inevitable to attack one side and pull the other side, but there must be a scale. It is impossible to defeat the strong side and immediately cultivate another force, right? Why suppress him?

Pini Zahavi listened, put away his smile, nodded and agreed. He was also very good at observing people's words and expressions, and immediately knew what Abramovich meant. He also knew that Abramovich let Grant enter Cobham just to check and balance Ye Qiu, and had no intention of driving Ye Qiu out of Chelsea.

In the final analysis, it was still the desire for control. Abramovich hoped that Chelsea would be completely controlled from any angle and any field, and everyone would obey his orders. This was what he wanted.

The smart and cunning Jews immediately thought deeper. If he really got rid of Ye Qiu, Abramovich would definitely not let Grant take office as he thought, because Grant was a good friend of him. Abramovich would definitely not let him become too powerful, and would definitely find someone else to be the head coach.

Thinking of this, Pini Zahavi suddenly realized that he was just a pawn manipulated by this rich man.

But he soon figured it out. He is a businessman. Businessmen pursue profits. He will chase after whoever can bring him more and higher profits. This is a matter of course!

After figuring this out, Pini Zahavi couldn't help but smile happily again.
