Volume 1 Chapter 288 The Best Twelfth Twelve
Ribery stood up from the bench, clenched his hands into fists, and fought all his might, and immediately the sound of bones came from his elbows.
Taking a deep breath, he turned and ran towards the clearing on his left, warming himself up.
He had forgotten that this was the first time he had run out to warm up in this game, and he had always kept his body in a state of readiness, because at halftime, Ye Qiu told him that he was a killer in this game.
The best twelfth person, this is not Ye Qiu himself, nor is Ribery boasting, but the media and reporters.
At the beginning of the second half, Porto counterattacked a little fiercely, at that time Ribery thought he was going to play, and hurried to warm up, but he didn't expect that a counterattack by Chelsea directly beat Porto to a mess and scored another goal, and there was not much suspense in the game.
"Is there still a chance for me to play?" Ribery was jogging when he looked up, looked at the glare of the stadium lights, and thought.
Above him, his parents, family, relatives and friends all came to the scene, dozens of tickets, and his father, who likes to show off, actually sent them all away, and they came to the scene, obviously not to see Ribery sit on the cold bench, but to see Ribery have the opportunity to appear on stage.
If he didn't play, then my father would be very disappointed, right?
Running back and forth, until his body was warm and he was sweating, Ribery returned to the coaching area, took a few breaths, and walked to his position.
"Frank"
At this moment, assistant coach Roland Shepas quickly ran over and beckoned to him, "Head calls you"
Ribery immediately turned around, took two quick steps and made a step, and he knew that it was time to play.
"Head" Ribery walked to Ye Qiu's side, his head was a head shorter than Ye Qiu's.
"Go warm up, three minutes, fast" Ye Qiu always said quickly when arranging things in the game, because all his mind was on the game, and he had to grasp every detail and change that happened in the game.
Roland on the side was used to cooperating with Ye Qiu, and after listening to Ye Qiu's words, he put his arm on Ribery's shoulder and was about to take him away.
"I just came back from warming up, head, you can get on at any time" Ribery didn't follow Roland, but said to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu only turned his head at this time, glanced at Scarface, and smiled, "It seems that you are prepared, kid"
Roland laughed on the side and patted Ribery on the shoulder, feeling that this kid was informed, interesting and promising.
"Did you notice the left-back in Porto?" Ye Qiu asked Ribery to come to his side.
"Well, Nuno Valente" Ribery is no stranger to him, because before the game, Ye Qiu had handed him a detailed information about Nuno Valente, and attached a video, asking him to study Nuno Valente thoroughly, so he is no stranger to this person.
Nuno Valente, who is about to be 30 years old, belongs to the kind of full-back that Mourinho prefers very much, and his defensive ability is very stable, but his side assist ability is average, and his speed is not fast, he is the kind of team-type defensive player, and he has followed Mourinho since Leiria, and he can be regarded as a defender trusted by the Portuguese madman.
"Yes, he already has a yellow card on him," Ye Qiu reminded succinctly.
This yellow card was obtained not long after the start of the first half, and from the moment Valente got this yellow card, Ye Qiu knew with certainty in his heart that Porto's left side would become the target of Chelsea's key attack, which was his killer feature.
If the score is still 0 now, Ye Qiu will use this killer move to directly defeat the opponent, but since he is now 0 ahead, Ye Qiu doesn't mind coming to a icing on the cake to completely defeat Porto, saving him more effort.
"I know how to do it," Ribery nodded.
Ye Qiu never encourages players to foul or create fouls, his meaning is obvious, Valente already has a yellow card, and Porto has used up 3 substitutions, so Valente's next move will be as small as possible, and even if he encounters some actions that are vaguely defined between fouls and no fouls, he will try to avoid them.
A shrunken defender encounters a player with super one-on-one individual ability, and the result can be imagined.
If Ye Qiu didn't have Ribery, he would have changed Ronaldinho to the right side and pressed McConn up, but now that he has Ribery, he doesn't have to do anything at all, he directly presses Ribery up, and lets him and Ronaldinho fly left and right.
Ribery quickly went through the process on the side of the fourth official, stood on the sidelines, and in the first minute, waited for a dead ball chance for him to finally get his chance to play.
The moment he stepped on the field, he felt as if he had stepped into a vast ocean, and the feeling of being surrounded by tens of thousands of fans and tsunami was something that you could not feel from the sidelines, and only when you walked into this stadium in such a high-profile situation, you can feel this feeling.
It will make your heart beat faster, it will make your blood heat up rapidly, and it will make your whole being feel a burning urge.
Looking back, he glanced at the crowd of Chelsea fans, he didn't have enough time to take a closer look at where his parents, his wife, his family, his friends and relatives were sitting, but he had a feeling that they were all staring at him and that they wanted to see him do well
"Don't worry, I won't let you down," Ribery prayed, tilting his head and praying.
"Chelsea made a substitution after taking a 0 lead, Ye Qiu replaced Edgar Davies, who was only l years old, with French teenager Frank Ribery, who performed well in this game"
"After joining Chelsea this season, Davies performed very well, he was defined by Ye Qiu as a vital member of the team's midfield, and Davies also passed this season's outstanding performance, completely proved his strength, I don't know if Moggie and Lippi will regret sending the Dutchman to Stamford Bridge at such a low price after seeing Davies's excellent performance, but there is no doubt that the person who should be thanked most for Davies' rebirth is Ye Qiu"
"Franck Ribery, an amateur player from Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, according to the French journalist, Ribery had no professional league experience before, came from Lille, but was swept away, and then played in the third division of France, once unemployed, forced to return to his hometown Boulogne to work as a brick move."
"When he was most embarrassed, Ye Qiu personally came to the door and invited him to Stamford Bridge, and then heard from the security guard of Stamford Bridge that Ribery ran to Stamford Bridge alone in the middle of the night to find Ye Qiu, and then successfully became a Chelsea signed professional player, and his performance this season was very good, and he was praised by the outside world as Chelsea's best 12th man"
"We have to see, Ye Qiu replaced Davis and replaced Ribery, is it necessary to continue to strengthen the wing attack? And will it bring anything to Porto?"
"Oh, Deco splits the ball, Ribery pulls to the right to get the ball and face the Valente defence"
'Pretty Ribery got out of turn after a very nice stop, left Valente behind, his explosiveness was very fast, he was close to the penalty area, and Carvalho came up to block it at the first time.
"Sudden stop, sudden acceleration, Ribery forced his speed advantage past Carvalho and crossed the bottom"
"The ball fell to the front point, Drogba, the ball went in"
'Oh my God, Franck Ribery, the first touch of the ball after coming on the pitch was the third Chelsea goal of the game, a close-range header from Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba, 0"
'Porto simply couldn't withstand the intense attacking pressure from Chelsea, Valente was to blame for the goal he conceded, he let Ribery get out of his defence too easily, and he looked like he had his hands and feet tied.
"We noticed that Valente already had a yellow card in this game, he was obviously affected by this yellow card, Ye Qiu's substitution was very targeted, he obviously saw this, the current situation is very unfavorable for Porto, they have used up 3 substitutions, but now Valente is burdened with a yellow card, obviously in a very embarrassing situation"
"Franck Ribery, after coming on the pitch, was very eye-catching, from stopping the ball to getting rid of the turn, the whole process showed his skillful foot skills, and the acceleration after that surprised people with his explosiveness, Carvalho was directly passed by his emergency stop acceleration, he involuntarily reminded us of a person, Arjan Robben"
Chelsea's players hugged and cheered on the sidelines, and it was clear that 30 games were over
The Chelsea fans in the stands were all very surprised and full of surprises, if they only watched the first half hour, they would not have guessed that the course of the game would be so full of twists and turns, and they must not have imagined that Chelsea would be so explosive.
"This is Porto manager Jose Mourinho, he swore before the game that he would be able to beat Chelsea, but judging from the process of the whole game, he is obviously not as experienced as Ye Qiu.
"Both are famous young coaches in Europe, relatively speaking, Ye Qiu is younger, but when it comes to leading the team to play in the Champions League, Ye Qiu is obviously more experienced, because he already has a Champions League trophy at Ajax, this is the second time he has reached the Champions League final in two consecutive years, and may even become the first manager to defend the Champions League since the Champions League was restructured, although with two different teams."
After Drogba celebrated on the sidelines, he got down on one knee, pulled Ribery's right foot, put it on his other thigh, and used his shirt to wipe Ribery's boots, obviously thanking Ribery for the assist he had given him, so that the Chelsea main centre-forward could resolve his embarrassment.
In recent times, the outside world has been rumoring that the team wants to introduce Shevchenko to further strengthen the attacking power of the striker, among which Drogba's low scoring efficiency is the reason why many Chelsea fans are dissatisfied, but in this game, Drogba wasted several opportunities, until this time, he used his best header to knock on Porto's goal.
The goal in the Champions League final, I believe this should be able to alleviate Drogba's dilemma
"0Although there are still minutes in the game, we can already judge in advance, if there is no accident, Porto has no possibility of reversing the situation, and the possibility of Chelsea winning the Champions League is very high" The on-site commentator gave his own judgment.
Jose Mourinho's face was a little intimidating on the sidelines, as he found that he had made a few mistakes, the obvious of which was that he had gone too fast and exposed his cards to his opponent too early, which was tantamount to self-defeat.
On the other hand, Ye Qiu, from patience in the second half of the game, to the most reluctant moment to break out, to the counterattack in the second half, and to put the most reluctant killer Ribery at the back, and now there are two substitutions in the hands of Chelsea, if the situation changes again, Ye Qiu can also adjust the situation.
But now, I can't adjust
At the end of the day, from the very beginning of the game, I was more or less spirited
"This Ye Qiu is indeed a natural winner, a genius"
In the VIP box at Schalke Stadium, Abramovich was inexplicably happy after scoring the third goal in Drogba, when the team had already won the Premier League championship, he was already very satisfied with the team's results this season, but what he didn't expect was that Ye Qiu brought him more than just the Premier League championship.
The Champions League is the first in the history of London football
It is conceivable that the whole of London will go crazy because of Chelsea's Champions League
Pini Zahavi's smile was a little bitter, because the more beautiful Ye Qiu is, the more lost he is, because Abramovich will rely on Ye Qiu more, and sometimes he even thinks that he would rather Ye Qiu be unlucky, then he will be happier.
Andriy Shevchenko was also present in the box, he watched the game with obvious excitement, he didn't have as many complicated thoughts as Pini Zahavi, he was more envious, if he was a Chelsea player at this moment, then he would get his first Champions League title, then he would be closer to his dream.
He is paying more and more attention to Chelsea, and under the attention, he has to admit that Ye Qiu's team is very combative, if he goes to Chelsea, and there are teammates such as Ronaldinho, Deco and Lampard behind him to guide and pass the ball, then his performance will definitely be better than in AC Milan, and his goals will definitely be comparable to Ruud van Nistelrooy, Henry, the top scorers of the Premier League.
But now he can't reveal this kind of thought, and even when he came to the Schalke Stadium to watch the final, he didn't dare to let people know, because he still belongs to AC Milan for the time being, so even if Abramovich does everything possible to show Chelsea's good impression of him, he still has to maintain a kind of reserve and distance.
However, the situation of the other person in the box was very different, without him, Abramovich would have arranged the place to watch the game in the business seat, but because of Frank Arneson's offer, he chose to be in the box.
Because he was not willing to let Ye Qiu find out for the time being, he had too much contact with Frank Arneson, and he heard that the two were mortal enemies and had a deep grudge against each other.
"He's a great genius indeed, but he's also an unruly horse, untethered by the reins."
Frank Arneson sneered and said after receiving Pini Zahavi's hint.
"You know, a lot of managers like to come to the Premier League, feel that the clubs here give the manager a lot of authority, but I don't know, this is an illusion, now more and more teams in the Premier League have opened a new position, technical director, this position itself is to supervise the manager, share the power of the manager"
"Oh?" Abramovich had also heard the technical director's statement, but he didn't know much about it yet.
"In recent years, there have been some scandals in the Premier League almost every year, and the content is very cookie-cutter, that is, the manager is too involved in player transfers, and takes commissions from them, of course, if the players brought in are good for the team itself and can help the team strengthen its strength, then there is nothing wrong with that, but who dares to guarantee this?"
"The previous Premier League manager was a manager, and now more and more clubs are weakening the power that originally belonged to the manager and turning it into a coach, even if it is in Manchester United and Arsenal, Ferguson and Wenger want to buy people, they have to negotiate with David Gill and David Dunn first, Manchester United lost Ronaldinho a year ago, that's the reason."
"And even if you put aside the head coach's commission, everyone's ability is limited, Ye Qiu sees people very accurately, he is very good at choosing Ribery, but what about Drogba? The striker's ability to score goals is limited, and who can guarantee that his vision will not go wrong in the future? And is it really wrong, or is it a fake mistake? ”
Frank Arneson's words are obviously implying that when a person has too much power, it is often easy to breed corruption, which is difficult to avoid no matter who it is, and Abramovich, as a person with a very strong desire to control and possessiveness, his principle of treating his subordinates is, what I give you, no matter how much, you can ask for it, don't I am unhappy, and I don't give it to you, you don't give me even a little bit of greed, even if you are greedy for a trivial point, I will let you learn a lesson
I have to admit that Pini Zahawi and Frank Arneson have very well understood this aspect of the character of the Russians.
"Winning this Champions League will make Ye Qiu's fans in London and Chelsea have a growing reputation in the team, and his agent is also the agent of Ronaldinho, Van Persie, Franck Ribery, Drogba, Davies, McConn, Van der Sar, Evra, Sun Jihai and others, and recently I heard that Deco, Terry and Lampard are also involved in this company, as well as several young players in the youth team." The more Pini Zahavi spoke, the more he hated it.
These players are all invested in the company of Eliza Moon, a Dutchwoman, but he, the founder of Chelsea, is empty-handed, with only a handful of players such as Joe Cole, Parker, Robert Hutter and Gudjohnsen.
But there are some people who will never clearly analyze why so many players would switch to someone else instead of him?
But it is clear that the words of Pini Zahavi and Frank Arneson once again planted a seed in Abramovich's heart.
