Volume 1 Chapter 241 Gemini

Morning, cloudy, West London U, West Drayton.

West Drayton is already out of central London, west of the River Thames, north of Heathrow Airport and less than two kilometres from Chelsea's Harrington training base.

Because it is away from the city center, the houses here are generally single-family, double-storey red brick wall tile houses, typical British style, a bit old, because the people who live in this area are generally some middle-class people who can't enjoy it, and they can't afford to spend money to build a luxury villa for themselves like those rich people

"Morning, Mrs. Landlady" Fabregas walked out of the room just in time to see Mrs. Fabregas preparing breakfast.

"Morning, Sesk" The landlady was a very fat middle-aged woman, but she was very friendly, and she casually stuffed a large ball of toast bread in his hand, "Take it with you on the road, when I am for Tottenham Hotspur"

This is the house that Ye Qiu's agent named Eliza Moon found for them through the relationship of Chelsea Club.

Originally, they all thought that the owner of the house would be a loyal Chelsea fan, because there has always been a tradition of living in the fan's house in the English academy, but on the first day of living in this house, the fat landlady told him very seriously, "Our family loves Tottenham Hotspur"

So why do you want to join Chelsea's academy and community planning? What about having Chelsea's Academy players live in their homes?

'The subsidy is only part of the equation, our ultimate goal is to want you to play for Tottenham'

Fabregas has not even figured out which of the two different purposes is heavier, but he heard from the fat landlady that the real Tottenham fans live in the vicinity of Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea; Real West Ham fans live in Cambridge; The real Chelsea fans live in Millwall.

Finally got a map of London, only to find out that Tottenham was far north of London, and Arsenal was in the northwest of London, no wonder the game between Arsenal and Tottenham was called the North London Derby.

Because she likes the relationship with Tottenham, the fat landlady said directly, don't put the memorabilia of teams such as Chelsea and Arsenal in a conspicuous place for them to see, otherwise...... The consequences are not guaranteed

Lovely, friendly family, isn't it?

Out the door, there was a bicycle outside, which they bought yesterday.

Yes, they, apart from Cesc Fabregas, also have Leo Messi, who lives next door, just across the wall.

"Morning, Sesk" Don't look at Messi's short stature, but this kid rides a bicycle very quickly, and a gust of wind passes in front of Fabregas, leaving a coquettish back, and a distant greeting.

Cesc Fabregas pouted, got on the bike, and quickly caught up, but his mood was full of anticipation for his first Chelsea training, just three days ago, they signed a professional contract with Chelsea for five years, and Ye Qiu promised that they could train directly with the first team and guarantee to play in the first team for a year.

Simple, humble promise, isn't it?

But Barcelona can't give it

Thinking of this, Fabregas, who felt a little bitter in his heart, couldn't help but think of the jersey that was hidden at the bottom of the duffel bag in the dormitory, signed by Guardiola, with a sentence left to him by Guardiola, "One day, you will become Barcelona's No. 4"

This is when he went to La Masia and said goodbye to youth coach Rudolfo Borrellt, the youth coach personally handed it over to him, saying that this shirt pinned on Guardiola's expectations for Cesc Fabregas, but ironically, it was Guardiola's support that finally made Cesc Fabregas decide to leave Barcelona.

Is it complicated?

Not at all, because Pep Guardiola and Cesc Fabregas are well aware that there is no way out of staying at Barcelona.

Just imagine, even youth players like Xavi can only barely gain a foothold in the first team now, and Iniesta can't guarantee his position, clamoring to leave the team and move elsewhere, let alone a young man like Cesc Fabregas.

Not only him, but almost all of La Masia's fellow players are thinking about leaving Barcelona.

From the age of 10 to now, Fabregas has become accustomed to everything Barcelona has to offer, including a one- or two-hour drive from the city every day back to his hometown, as there are no dormitories in La Masia.

But on the first day they arrived in London, and on the first day, they moved into the landlady's house.

The same difference is that when Cesc Fabregas was invited by Arsenal and Chelsea, he took the initiative to find the club and only asked for a promise to stay, but in the end they still had no way to give, just blindly asked him to be patient, but no matter how good his patience was, it would be stifled by that insincere remark.

Whether it is the new chairman Laporta or the new head coach Rijkaard, they are obviously not ready to pay attention to the academy

They should now be having a headache with a poor start to the new season with one draw and one defeat, right? Cesc Fabregas thought to himself with embarrassment, because many people felt that Rijkaard could not bring a revival to Barcelona at all.

Everyone, especially the rookies of La Masia, is really optimistic about Ye Qiu.

This Chinese is known for his youth training at Ajax, and he has led a team with an average age of about one year to be invincible in Europe, which has long become the expectation of La Masia's youth players, especially when they received the news from Cruyff and from all parties that Ye Qiu will be at the helm of Camp Nou, they all seem to see tomorrow and see hope.

But in the end, Ye Qiu went to Chelsea, Barcelona invited Rijkaard, and the walls everywhere in the transfer market made many people feel that Barcelona's revival will once again become an unattainable fantasy.

It was in this context that Cesc Fabregas and Lionel Messi chose to leave, and between Arsene Wenger's famous red card team in the Premier League and Chelsea, Ye Qiu's strong arrival, they did not hesitate for long to choose the latter.

At the very least, the current Arsenal is not appreciated by Fabregas in terms of style of play or youth training, but it is Ye Qiu's achievements at Ajax that make them feel that Chelsea is more worthy of trust.

Thinking of this, Fabregas raised his head and looked at the little sunlight that appeared in the gloomy sky in the distance, which seemed to represent the dawn, and also made Fabregas see his hope for the future, and all this was pinned on Ye Qiu.

"Sesque, you hurry up" Messi in front slowed down and shouted loudly.

This kid is not as old as Cesc Fabregas, a bit of a teenager, and in a little while, his parents and family will also leave Barcelona for London to take up a role at Chelsea Football Club, and at that time, Cesc Fabregas will also move in with them, who will make them a dead friend?

"Here it is" Thinking of this, Cesc Fabregas picked up his speed and the bike rushed up quickly.

The two men and two cars soon turned into Harrington and arrived at the remote Chelsea training base.

"Wow, it's all a good car"

As soon as I entered the training base, I saw that the parking lot opposite the training building was full of two rows of cars, all of which were good cars, either sports cars or luxury cars.

"You're Sesk and Leo, aren't you?" A tall, muscular white man walked out of the training building with a training uniform that they all recognized, John Terry, the new captain of Chelsea.

"I'm Captain John Terry, you can come to me anytime and anywhere for anything, but now, hurry up and put the car in the parking lot and go to the locker room to change clothes, your cupboards are all arranged, with your names on them, hurry up, I don't like people being late."

"Oh," Fabregas replied.

But Messi was looking around over there, "The car is parked here, what about the bicycle?" Looking at his cute appearance, he seemed to hesitate, should his brand-new phoenix twin bones be put together with this group of luxury cars? Wouldn't that be too unkind?

Terry was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Whatever, if you don't put it in the corner."

This time, the two boys had no opinion, and quickly pulled the bicycle and ran quickly to the corner, put it against the wall, and went straight to the locker room.

Ye Qiu stood in the corridor on the second floor, taking in all the scenes, and shook his head and smiled vigorously, young is good, he likes young people, especially young people like Cesc Fabregas and Messi.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, these two people represent the superstars of the future, but in Ye Qiu's eyes, they have a deeper meaning, that is, moldability.

Cesc Fabregas and Lionel Messi are in a stage of rapid growth, and the current group of outstanding stars in the Chelsea squad is undoubtedly their best teachers, allowing them to train with the first team, which means allowing them to learn and observe how this group of teachers play anytime and anywhere.

The experience drawn from Ajax made Ye Qiu very clear that the future of the star is actually not completely fixed.

Just like Robben, his current right foot is better than in his previous life, because Ye Qiu has focused on carving his right foot, if he can persevere, then the height that Robben can reach will exceed Ye Qiu's previous life.

In addition, like Van der Vaart, the Dutchman is still very sharp without suffering injuries, coupled with his creativity, skill and ability to hold the ball, making him and Robben very lethal on the left and right wings, and it is reported that Real Madrid even sent UUUU million euros to pack them, but they were rejected by Ajax.

There are also the likes of Ibrahimovic, whose shooting skills have been honed and honed by Van Basten himself, although they cannot be compared with goalscorers like Huntelaar and Ruud van Nistelrooy, but they are still very good.

All this proves one thing, that is, the future superstars can become stronger in Ye Qiu's hands.

"Genk, Ricciardo, RenΓ©, I'll give you these two treasures" Ye Qiu said with a smile to the assistants beside him, because he is the head coach, and the matter of training and cultivating young players can only be handed over to the assistants.

"Ronaldinho, Deco, Lampard, Davies, Makellele, these people are all very good teachers, don't waste it" Ye Qiu is not afraid of being greedy and chewing, because in his opinion, each of these people has an amazing skill, which is scarce in the world of football, and he can learn as much as he can.

Tengkater, Moniz and Mulenstin all smiled and nodded, the former is the chief assistant coach and is responsible for training and coordination, Ye Qiu's words naturally mean that he should focus on these two young players, while Moniz and Mulenstin are in charge of technical carving, and they have long been accustomed to Ye Qiu's requirements and ideas.

Familiar teams have such benefits, needless to say, and know each other.

Ye Qiu also confessed to Eliza before, asking her to fight to kick the Spanish agent of these two young players, the agent called Jose Diaz is always a hidden danger, God knows when he will hook up with Barcelona again and encourage these two boys to jump ship?

"It seems that it is not easy to be so valued by you, I will pay attention to it" Ten Carter agreed with a smile, "but you also have to be careful, Barcelona was poached by you two players in one go, they will definitely retaliate." ”

Ye Qiu shook his head after hearing this, "They don't have that mind now, besides, what revenge?" Are we in violation? ”

In Spain, you can't sign a professional contract at the age of 16, but you can't in England, so Ye Qiu's introduction of Cesc Fabregas and Messi is at best just taking advantage of this loophole, and it's really a big deal.

Now for Barcelona, the most important thing is how to stabilize their position, the promise made by Laporta during the campaign, Ye Qiu and Beckham have not been fulfilled, Barcelona fans have long been dissatisfied, and then Rijkaard's entry into the house is also full of controversy, Cruyff directly said that failing to invite Ye Qiu will be Barcelona's biggest mistake.

In his previous life, Rijkaard led Barcelona to revival, and Ten Carter contributed a lot, but now the Eredivisie coach is here in Ye Qiu, as well as Ronaldinho and Deco, and now they are also here in Ye Qiu, he is thinking, will Rijkaard's Barcelona continue to revivenation?

As it turned out, Barcelona eventually sued Chelsea.

In the fifth round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 4L at home, and there were two pieces of news.

One is that through the joint appeal of Premier League managers such as Ferguson, Ye Qiu and Arsene Wenger, the English Football Association said that it will seriously consider the requests from Premier League managers, and will negotiate with the Ministry of Labor, hoping that the rules for the introduction of young players will be properly taken care of and modified according to the particularity of football.

This statement undoubtedly opened up a direct lane for the birth of the special genius clause, but with the grinding efficiency of the British, it is estimated that it will be difficult to introduce it in a short period of time, and it can be calculated in months at the earliest.

There is also a case that Barcelona sued Chelsea to UEFA, believing that Chelsea robbed Barcelona's talent in improper ways, and club president Laporta publicly bombarded Ye Qiu as a thief, and poaching players is an act of stealing, "They are preying on our talents, UEFA should do justice and let the two players return to Spain." ”

And in interviews, Barcelona kept repeatedly emphasizing their investment in players, especially Messi, who believes that the club has invested a lot in Messi over the years, and now that they have been poached, they have gained nothing.

Ye Qiu refuted this, "Strictly speaking, they are exactly the same as us, there is no difference, because all the players are not regular Barcelona descendants, many of them are poached from other small clubs, Fabregas, Messi and Iniesta, aren't they all like this?" And even now, they're still doing the same thing. ”

"If I'm a thief, are they just a thief?"

"I don't think Barcelona should have any resentment at all, because we didn't do anything illegal, every step was in accordance with the procedure, we didn't threaten Barcelona and the players with a gunpoint, the truth is that Barcelona can't give the players commitments, but we can promise them a future, so they chose us, not Barcelona"

For the bombardment from Barcelona, UEFA did not actively accept it, and the matter was too involved.

On the surface, this is a dispute between Chelsea and Barcelona, but in reality, it is not a dispute between the upper teams and the middle and lower teams. Can anyone guarantee that their youth players are all self-trained and not poached from other teams?

Cruyff said fairly, he believes that Laporta should not be locked with Ye Qiu and Chelsea, such bombardment and accusations are useless, and he thinks that the most important thing Barcelona should do is to close the gap of brain drain, that is, Spain's rule prohibiting signing players under the age of 18.

Facts have proved that UEFA did not intend to arbitrate this matter, and they quickly faxed a document to the two clubs the next day after the media disclosure, asking the two sides to negotiate on this, and Ye Qiu also gave the club's attitude and paid a training fee, and the matter was abandoned.

This is something that is acceptable to both parties, as if the trouble continues, the player may be banned from playing.

Back then, Ronaldinho, Juninho Jr., Mexes and other players were banned for a short period of time because of transfer problems, which is obviously not what Ye Qiu wants to see, paying Barcelona hundreds of thousands of euros in exchange for two players and calming this matter, Ye Qiu also feels that there is no problem, not to mention, Chelsea doesn't care about such a small amount of money, does it?

The matter finally came to an end with such a result, Chelsea negotiated privately with Barcelona, and after paying UU 10,000 euros for training, the other party withdrew the lawsuit, and the transfers of Cesc Fabregas and Messi were settled.

Ye Qiu's Chelsea is triumphant in the Premier League and Champions League
