On a summer morning, Theobold's air is filled with the faint scent of herbs and flowers.

Early in the morning, some staff members cleaned the asphalt road of the training base, as if it had been washed by heavy rain.

Although the Tottenham Hotspur first team was given a morning break after playing the league and completing the fourth consecutive Premier League title, the Theobald staff did not take a break from the rest and still came to the training base to work.

Therefore, walking along the asphalt road from the gate of Theobald, you can see that there are security guards on duty at every sentry box, either sitting inside or standing upright outside, they are the most loyal and diligent guards of Theobold.

When you come downstairs to the training building, you can clearly hear the discussion coming from the second floor, and it can even be said that it is the sound of argumentation.

"Judging by the performance in the German Cup, their defense is a very serious problem, it is absolutely unthinkable that they should be scored five goals by Borussia Dortmund!" The voice of the man who said this was not loud, but it was very strong.

Familiar people know, this is Mauro? Tasotti's voice, he stayed up late at home last night to watch the German Cup match between Bayern Munich and Dortmund in Berlin, and at this moment, sitting in the coach's room are Ye Qiu's specially arranged to go to Germany to watch, including scout Peter? De Visser, as well as three of the two tactical analysts.

They flew back to London from Berlin overnight for this coaching staff meeting.

"Alaba, Bad Stuber and Gustavo at the back are all in a slump, if you look at the staffing, the wide players are the most lacking for Bayern Munich, Contento may play, Lahm can also play on the left, let Raphinha play on the right, but the central defender problem may be more serious."

With the introduction of the people from the tactical analysis team, Mauro? Tasotti spoke again, "Lahm will not go to the left side, Bayern Munich's most stable attack line this season is the right side of Lahm and Robben, if Lahm now goes to the left side and dismantles this strongest attacking line, then their attack will be difficult to play effective." ”

"That's right!" Peter? Devisel also spoke out, his voice was softer, typical of the tone of an old man, "Bayern Munich has conceded twenty-two goals in the Bundesliga, and the defense is indeed good, but it is only limited to the Bundesliga, in fact, the performance of this team in the Champions League is not as strong as it seems on the surface, especially the defense." ”

In the group stage, met Napoli, Villarreal and Manchester City, Bayern Munich conceded five goals in six games, lost 0:1 to Basel in Switzerland in the first leg of the round of 16 knockout round, but beat the opponent 7:0 at home, and met Marseille in the quarterfinals home and away 2:0, and then won Real Madrid 2:1 at home in the semifinals, but it was also more dangerous, and the away team lost 1:2, and finally defeated the opponent on penalties.

This flurry of stats suggests that Bayern Munich are at least not as strong as they seem, and their ability to reach the final has a lot to do with their luck in the draw, while their home form is quite good, but their away results are not ideal.

So far in this season's Champions League, Bayern Munich have won all six games at home, while two wins, one draw and three defeats have lost six games away.

If, as some fans and media have said in the past, the Champions League will only come to teams that have not lost, then Bayern Munich have already been eliminated, so the poor away record makes Bayern Munich's reach for the final not very convincing.

"I have to remind you that the Champions League final is being played at the Allianz Arena!" Luo Fatzi usually doesn't speak, but when he saw the coaching staff analyzing Bayern Munich's home and away bugs, he smiled and reminded that the final was played at home.

Everyone was also angry about this, and they took advantage of the home field.

"Actually, Bayern Munich doesn't necessarily have to be on the defensive in the final!" René? Muhrensteen also voiced a possibility.

Mauro? Tasotti nodded, "That's right, in fact, looking at all of Bayern Munich's home games, they insist on taking the initiative to win, including the game against Real Madrid, where they have 9 more possession than Real Madrid." 4% of the time spent on the ball, both in terms of pass success and the intensity of the attack, is significantly higher than away from home. ”

"So, I think Bayern Munich may not be able to contain our attack defensively, but they may turn around and take advantage of their home advantage to attack us and take over the initiative!"

It should be said that the final is only 90 minutes, any possibility of the two sides has a chance to appear, and even the tactics of this game may take some surprising new elements, Heynckes's coaching level is still quite good, in this kind of key battle, what kind of tactics he will adopt, no one knows.

Just as the coaching staff and the tactical analysis team were discussing, Ye Qiu walked up to the second floor, stood at the door of the coaching room, lightly clicked the door of the open coaching room, and smiled at the assistants, "Don't be so nervous, Bayern Munich is just that, it's nothing big!" ”

Everyone saw him say so easily, and they all laughed along, their team has a lot of experience in the Champions League, especially in the finals, at least two or three finals, with successes and failures.

"The people in the analysis team will give me the most detailed analysis report of Bayern Munich before today, as well as a list of their most likely starters, as well as the technical analysis of each player, and make an analysis video as soon as possible, and in the next few days we will focus on Bayern Munich to analyze and train in a targeted manner!"

"Understood!" Several members of the analysis team nodded in agreement, which was also their most important job on weekdays.

In the end, no matter how nervous you are, it's the Champions League final, only once a year, and many managers of many teams can't even play a final in their lifetime, and their assistants are happy that the team can participate in the final, can they not pay attention to it?

In Ye Qiu's words, the Champions League final is the kind of game where you don't need to mobilize at all, you don't need to motivate, everyone will pay enough attention.

"Roland!" Ye Qiu looked at Roland? "Give all the players and the youth team, even our players on loan, a ticket to the Champions League final, plus tickets to Didier Drogba and Nesta, and they will be our players next season!" ”

When everyone heard the news, they were surprised at first, but soon they were happy.

Didier Drogba has been in excellent form at Chelsea this season, particularly in the second half of the campaign after deciding not to renew his contract, while Nesta is AC Milan's main centre-back but is currently struggling with a contract extension.

Both of these players are very good veterans, not too young, but they can be used again and, more importantly, Raul has decided to move to Qatar, with the addition of Didier Drogba to ensure the quality of the team's central striker position, while the arrival of Nesta gives the team's central defenders a stable third man.

Of course, everyone knows very well that Ye Qiu has another level of consideration for introducing these two veterans, that is, data.

There is no doubt that the veterans are really bad physically, and some of their skills have deteriorated, but they are the smartest and smartest players to play, and their awareness of playing is undoubtedly the pinnacle of their careers.

"Mauro!" Ye Qiu looked at Mauro again? "From this afternoon training session, we will be training behind closed doors and no one will be allowed to enter the first team training area at the Theorebald training base, I want to give the team a peaceful preparation period and we need to lose everything we have achieved in the past season, including the title! ”

Mauro? Tassotti knew the necessity of this and nodded in agreement.

If the players are still basking in the joy of winning the league title, if they are still basking in the surprise of the team's 9-0 thrashing of Barcelona over two legs, then they will be in a fog of not being able to see the situation in the Champions League final, and only by letting go of what they have achieved in the past will they be able to know what they are facing next and how they will face it.

After explaining these things, Ye Qiu exhaled deeply, "Everyone, for an event of this level in the Champions League final, tactics, technology and personal strength are not the key factors that determine the outcome of the game, the key to the real decision of the game lies in the passion and willpower of the players, we need to stimulate the passion and will of the players in the next five days, and let them regain their hunger for the Champions League title, this is our next focus!" ”

Ye Qiu's experience in the Champions League final is too rich, and he knows better than anyone that tactical, technical and personal strength are indeed some important factors for the team to win, but these are not the point, because it is the Champions League final, a decisive battle of Tianwang Mountain.

In such a game, the difference in strength between the two sides will not be too big, because those who can pass five levels and six generals appear in the Champions League final, you say that the strength is poor, who believes it? Therefore, the outcome of this kind of game will not depend on tactics and the strength of the team, but on who is more passionate, who is more combative, and who is more tenacious.

Because of this, Ye Qiu specially arranged for Roland to prepare a killer move.

"I'm looking forward to winning the third Champions League in the team's history with you!"

…………

Many people say that Drogba has become Chelsea's biggest and biggest headache.

For this, the elephant king of Côte d'Ivoire is proud and proud of himself, because there are not many people who can do it.

As early as six months ago, Drogba suspended contract extension talks with Chelsea, but it was more of a negotiation tactic to show his dissatisfaction with the terms offered by Chelsea, but Chelsea also decided to stop renewing Drogba's contract and instead plan to bring in Drogba's successor, especially when he went to the Africa Cup of Nations in January.

But with the return of Drogba, he began to rely on his own hard work and diligence, as well as his own good form, although often not playing the main force in the league, but in some key games, it is by relying on the power of the monster to let Chelsea win the game, for example, Chelsea can beat Liverpool to win the Europa League, relying on Drogba's frequent goals in the knockout rounds and finals, this championship has also become Chelsea's fig leaf this season.

Countless Chelsea fans have publicly appealed on their official website and at Stamford Bridge to renew Drogba's contract and keep the Ivorian elephant king instead of letting him leave, and many even believe that Drogba's current form is even more reliable than that of Torres, who was brought in at a high price.

But after the team won the Europa League, CEO Pini? Zahavi has announced that Drogba has refused to negotiate a contract extension with Chelsea, while Drogba's agent has also said that Warcraft will leave the club this summer.

This has also become the most interesting news in European football, Drogba's free body will undoubtedly trigger a battle for many teams in the transfer market, and for the previous media disclosure, Drogba and Chelsea have a clause not to switch to the rival team was finally proved to be false rumors, Drogba has also publicly declared more than once that he hopes to return to play under his mentor Ye Qiu.

"Being able to play for Ye Qiu is the most honorable thing in my career, even if I don't want money, I'm willing!"

Drogba's public overtures were also seen as a positive sign, but Chelsea, including Frank Lampard and John Terry, were calling on the hierarchy to keep Drogba, but unfortunately, the persuasion of these players was ineffective.

At the end of the season, it was announced that Jose Mourinho had returned to Stamford Bridge, and the latter had met with Didier Drogba on the day of his return to London, and the two sat down in the manager's office at the Cobham training base to talk face-to-face.

"Didier, I hope you can stay, I have already agreed with the management, I can give you a two-year fixed contract and a one-year floating contract, and we can also talk about the salary, what do you think?"

Coaching Inter Milan in Serie A has put Mourinho under tremendous pressure, his hair and beard have become gray, and he looks much older, but it adds a bit of old charm, especially when he speaks, he does not have the sharpness of the past, but adds a bit of restraint and maturity.

Drogba has played under Mourinho, and his relationship with Mourinho is not bad, and Mourinho knows how to use him, but he still shook his head, "I'm sorry, Jose, I can't promise you!" ”

"I know!" Mourinho nodded, "You agreed with Ye Qiu, but that's just a verbal promise, if you are willing to stay, we can give you all the conditions that Tottenham Hotspur promised you, including salary and contract years, I believe that with their style in the past few years, it is impossible to give you a high salary, which is a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, oh no, it must not be that high." ”

Drogba smiled bitterly, I have to say that Mourinho knows Ye Qiu very well, and he also knows Tottenham Hotspur very well.

It is true that after switching to Tottenham Hotspur, Drogba's salary has dropped a lot, but that is what he willingly wants.

"If you are willing to stay, I will do the bad guys, I will talk to Ye Qiu personally, I believe he will not object!" Mourinho thought that he would be able to convince Drogba with such a high salary.

But who knows, after he finished speaking, Drogba shook his head, "I'm sorry, Jose, I can't agree!" ”

After a pause, the Ivorian smiled innocently, showing his white teeth, "You know, I respect Ye Qiu very much, I said that even if I don't give money, I am willing to play in his team, so, for me, to be able to end my career at Tottenham Hotspur, it is a very wonderful thing." ”

He will never forget that it was Ye Qiu who brought him from Ligue 1 to the Premier League, and again and again, when he was under pressure, he always believed in him, helped him get rid of his own faults and defects one after another, and finally made him the world's top center forward and a nightmare monster in the eyes of all defenders.

Without Ye Qiu, there would be no Drogba!

"Of course, I also have a lot of respect for you and I have a lot of pleasure working with you, but, Jose, if you had come to the team six months ago, I would have promised you to stay, but unfortunately, now I have only one thought, and that is to go to Tottenham Hotspur."

Mourinho was so resolute when he heard Drogba say this, he knew it would be difficult to make Warcraft change his mind again.

He knows Drogba very well, this person is very bold, very big, and his body is very hard, but his heart is very fine, every time he makes a decision, he must think it through, and once he makes a decision, then he will not easily change his decision, especially when it comes to Ye Qiu, whom he respects.

Jose Mourinho is well aware of Ye Qiu's place in the minds of some Chelsea players, such as Frank Lampard and John Terry.

The reason is very simple, it was a preconceived complex, it was Ye Qiu who led a group of second-rate players who were originally in the eyes of everyone to complete the transformation from second-rate to first-class to top superstar, so they were very grateful to Ye Qiu in their hearts, and even regarded him as their lifelong mentor.

In this case, no matter how well Mourinho does later, no matter how good he is to them, it is difficult to change this complex in their hearts, so for this, Mourinho has a deep understanding of this when he was in charge of Chelsea, so he will say to Boas that his biggest regret is that he arrived late to Chelsea.

Although Mourinho doesn't know why Ye Qiu uncharacteristically wants to bring in several veterans, such as Raul before, Andrea Pirlo last season, and now Drogba and Nesta, he is well aware that veterans can also play a huge role in Tottenham Hotspur, with such a young average age.

So his first thought was that after leaving Drogba, Ye Qiu must not be allowed to have a chance to convince Frank Lampard and Terry, so he decided that the first thing he would do after taking charge of Chelsea must be to stabilize the two veterans, who are the cornerstone of Chelsea.

"Didil, remember to help me tell Ye Qiu when you see him, and I will challenge him for the supremacy of the Premier League next season!"

After a pause, Mourinho added: "Also, remember to tell him not to leave the manager's position so early, otherwise the Premier League will not be fun!" ”

"Oh, by the way, help me get a few tickets for the Champions League final!"

After saying that, Mourinho smiled a little.

Monk Drogba and Zhanger couldn't touch his head, is this still the Mourinho who never dies with Ye Qiu? Autumn time.
