When Ye Qiu appeared outside the Grimalti Convention Center in Monaco, the scene suddenly resounded with a burst of cheers from fans.

The new Chelsea who joined the Premier League this season started the season with the best four-game winning streak in Chelsea's history, shocking the entire English football scene and making his excellent coaching ability felt by the whole world.

While many admit that Chelsea's strength comes from the quality of the players, as The Times' Martin Samuel put it, "We should not forget that it was Ye Qiu who brought this group of players to Chelsea, and it was he who made this team such a strong whole." ”

The four major leagues are the four major leagues, and the influence is completely different from when he was in the Eredivisie, Ye Qiu's current popularity and influence have already been with this summer's wedding, the competition between the giants, and the subsequent Chelsea in the transfer market, so that he has completely stepped into the ranks of European coaches.

Even if there are still people who question him, it is more that he has risen too fast.

From his debut to now, it has only been more than 4 years, but he has faintly entered the ranks of European famous coaches, which is indeed fast, especially considering that he is only P years old even now, too young.

But today's fans don't care about you, the most important thing for them is novelty, isn't it good to be young? There is such a number one person in the whole world, for fans who like Ye Qiu, what they like is a unique character, which is very good

Ye Qiu kept dealing with the enthusiastic fans and walked into the Grimalti Convention Center, where the head coaches and club management of the teams from European football who participated in the Champions League group stage and the first round of the League Cup were already gathered.

Although Ye Qiu has risen rapidly in Europe in recent years, when it comes to influence and interpersonal relationships, he is far inferior to an old fox like Ferguson, so as soon as he walked into the venue, he immediately looked around, thinking that he should find an acquaintance.

finally saw Van Basten in the crowd, Ye Qiu also planned to talk to him about Marcelo and Thiago Silva, two Brazilian defenders in Ajax, you know, these two people were bought out by Eliza, he naturally had to talk to Van Basten well, otherwise Eliza's guy would have trouble Ye Qiu if he lost money.

"Ye Qiu, here"

Just as Ye Qiu was about to walk over to find Van Basten, he heard someone shouting not far away, and it was Ferguson who raised his hand and shouted.

Ye Qiu frowned, is this old guy looking for himself for no reason? And it's not just Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Newcastle's Bobby Robson, Liverpool's Houllier, Blackburn's Souness and Manchester City's Keegan are all there.

This is all the managers of the Premier League who participated in this draw ceremony this season, and they all met here, Ye Qiu instinctively sensed that something must have happened.

When he walked over, Ye Qiu also felt that this group of guys looked at him differently, there was envy, jealousy and resentment, such as Ferguson, who was snatched away by Ye Qiu Ronaldinho, and now he is very angry in his heart, and there are people like Souness, who was just slaughtered by Ye Qiu, and now he wants to kill him.

As for Wenger's neighbor, Ye Qiu had a hunch that he would soon have the urge to stab himself with a knife.

"It's all here" Ye Qiu smiled faintly, and it was a greeting together.

Ferguson and Wenger are faintly the bosses of all the managers in the Premier League, which also has a certain relationship with their seniority, as well as the strongest and most influential team they are in, and the other is Bobby Robson, who is also an old qualification, but unfortunately, Newcastle finally pressed Liverpool and qualified for the Champions League, but they couldn't pass the qualifiers, and sometimes it makes people feel sad when they think about it.

"We would like to take this opportunity to discuss one thing, and if there is no opinion, then it is up to me to initiate an appeal and an application to the Premier League, the Football Association and the Department of Labour." Ferguson deservedly became the leading boss.

The old guy likes to get ahead of everything, but there's no denying that Arsene Wenger can't compete with him on this matter.

"I think the current labor certification regulations are too strict, which is very unfavorable to us, because the current football environment will pay more and more attention to youth training players, and the signs of internationalization are becoming more and more obvious, but the existence of labor certification has become our biggest restriction and constraint."

When Ferguson spoke, Ye Qiu immediately understood that this was to apply for a special genius clause

He had also heard of this in his previous life, and everyone said at the time that after Ferguson failed to introduce players such as Ronaldinho, McConn, and Kaka, he directly bombarded the Football Association and the Ministry of Labour, thinking that it was the damn labor certificate that caused the Premier League team to lose Ronaldinho, McCone and Kaka, which limited the development of the Premier League, and finally gave birth to the special genius clause.

The so-called special genius clause is very heavy, a Premier League team is only allowed one place a year, and whether it can pass the hearing has to test the team's public relations level and the prestige of the manager.

But for strong teams, there is basically no problem, such as Arsene Wenger, almost once a year, relying on special talent clauses.

This also reminded Ye Qiu of what he had heard in his previous life, some Premier League teams wanted to introduce domestic players, but they were limited by labor certificates, to put it bluntly, people still don't pay enough attention to you, if they really do, they will use a special genius clause for you.

It's like Denilson Jr., the Brazilian midfielder hasn't played any games in China at all, but Wenger took a fancy to him and took him directly to the Premier League, without a labor certificate? Go directly to the special genius clause, use the relationship, and go around for public relations, and it will pass directly, and it will be outrageously smooth.

Of course, this is a giant, and it will be relatively difficult for the middle and lower teams, but if you really pay attention to it, it is still okay.

In general, Ye Qiu felt that it was indeed a good thing to have such a clause, and he could use it.

"What do you think?" Ferguson asked Ye Qiu.

He obviously communicated with Wenger, these two guys are certainly not as bad as the outside world says, at least they are both Premier League giants, they still have a lot of common language, and many things need to be communicated and coordinated with each other, and Ferguson asked Ye Qiu's opinion at this moment, obviously recognizing the status of Ye Qiu and Chelsea in the Premier League.

Anyway, people are now winning four in a row, ranking first in the standings, and just won the Champions League, and they are in the limelight.

"I couldn't agree more, but I think it would be very cumbersome to ask for a change in labor certification, so we might as well call on them to create a special talent clause that allows us to recruit players from outside who have great potential and haven't proven themselves yet." Ye Qiu suggested according to the memories of his previous life.

The issue of labor certification is very wide-ranging, not only in football and the Football Association, but also in the UK government, and maybe even bigger at that time, which is impossible to achieve, but it is better to be realistic and stop when the goal is achieved.

"Special genius clause?" Ferguson and Arsene Wenger were both moved.

Ye Qiu explained the terms according to the memories of his previous life, and then introduced the process, such as hearings and the like.

"It's quite possible," Bobby Robson nodded in agreement.

To be honest, everyone said that they wanted to revise the labor certification before, and they didn't know the bottom of their hearts, but it was just to make their own voices, make a fuss, and prove that the children who could cry and make trouble had milk to eat, but now if it is really according to Ye Qiu's words, the possibility of success is very high.

Besides, the Premier League team now attaches importance to youth training丨The players introduced are gradually younger, and there are so many young players introduced every year, and giving a place a year can also ensure that the team will not waste it casually and ensure the potential and talent of the introduced players.

"Okay, if everybody's okay, then we'll settle it" Ferguson is also a very brittle person.

After the negotiation was settled, the crowd dispersed directly.

Almost every time they meet, they are opponents, with you and without me, who will really have a heart-to-heart relationship with each other?

Originally, Ye Qiu wanted to go to Van Basten to talk about it, but after this meeting, the lottery ceremony began.

As in previous years, the Champions League group stage draw and the UEFA Cup knockout stage draw, as well as UEFA's annual awards, were all decided tonight, and Chelsea, who have been firmly at the top of the Premier League in recent years, are in good standings and are placed in Pot 2.

Even though Ye Qiu just won a Champions League last year, he made no secret of his coveting of the Champions League, because he had already tasted the sweetness of winning a Champions League, which almost made his influence soar like a rocket.

Not much else, just for those sponsors who came after his name, it was enough to ⊥ Ye Qiu to get a huge amount of sponsorship income every year, and he usually didn't use it for anything at all, just authorized his name to go out, and it was really a million profits.

However, it is difficult to say that any time you want to win the Champions League, the right time and place are indispensable, and you have to be a little lucky.

The teams in the first pot are Real Madrid, AC Milan, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Ajax, Juventus and Lazio, Lazio beat Inter Milan to enter the first seeded team, which is indeed a bit surprising, the latter has been significantly less strong in recent years than at the beginning of the century, and this summer has left Stam, the strength has been weakened very much, and is regarded as the weakest team in the first pot.

And Ye Qiu's luck is undoubtedly excellent, because Chelsea, as the second gear, was directly drawn in front of Lazio.

This made the guy who took advantage of it smile from ear to ear, and made no secret of his satisfaction with this sign.

The team in the third pot drew Sparta Prague, directly avoiding Marseille, Celtic, PSV Eindhoven and other teams that are not weak; And the fourth gear avoided Stuttgart, Real Sociedad, Monaco and other teams, and drew Besiktas, such a good sign really made Ye Qiu a little dreamy.

"Are we really so cheap?" Ye Qiu was asking himself in his heart.

Judging from the cards, Chelsea are definitely the undisputed strongest team in this group, and unless Ye Qiu overturns in the gutter, it is almost certain that they will qualify from the group.

Sparta Prague and Besiktas are not strong enough to shake Chelsea, and Lazio has weakened greatly in the past two years, and compared with the strong Chelsea, there is no doubt that they are also at an absolute disadvantage, so Chelsea's group first can almost be said to be booked.

Of course, this is just on the cards, the game is complicated and there is absolutely no room for carelessness, but the draw was the luckiest of all the groups, so everyone shouted Chelsea luck.

Ye Qiu was really a little flattered by this, but he quickly calmed down, anyway, the lottery had already come out, and there was no way to change it, what was the situation, and then he would talk about it.

After the draw ceremony, the next step was UEFA's Best of the Year awards.

This award has always been the taboo of the major giants, even if Ajax won the Champions League last year, but in fact, there is still no way to change this status quo, and the biggest winners are still that group of giants.

The striker of the year went to Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy, who scored a goal in last year's Champions League and became the top scorer in the Champions League, and also won this year's European striker of the year.

The midfielder of the year went to Juventus' Nedved, which was to be expected, and the Czech's performance last season was very impressive, both in the Champions League and at the club, and it was arguably his peak year.

Some people may question that Manchester United and Juventus did not reach the final in the Champions League, and the players can't win the award, but in fact, the performance of the Real Madrid players of the two teams that reached the final is generally not very eye-catching, especially in that final, which deducts points, coupled with the team's strong attack and weak defense, it always gives people a feeling of not being stable enough.

The biggest obstacle for Ajax is that the team is all small stars, no big stars, and usually the people who get these awards are basically big names, UEFA rarely awards these awards to stars who are not famous, which is Ajax's biggest weakness, and the most reluctant, Ajax only won a fair play award.

The Defender of the Year is Real Madrid's Roberto Carlos, which is also very controversial, as the Brazilian left-back's performance last year was not satisfactory, but his back-to-back winning this award is indeed a bit controversial.

The goalkeeper of the year is Real Madrid's Casillas, but Europe's Most Valuable Player is given to Juventus' Gianluigi Buffon, AC Milan's captain Maldini won the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Mackay, who transferred to Bayern Munich, won the European Golden Boot.

The competition for Coach of the Year is also fierce, with Ye Qiu, Bosque, Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Lippi all favourites.

If you want to say Ye Qiu, the most conspicuous achievement is the European Champions Cup, the Eredivisie championship and the Dutch Cup Triple Crown, and Ajax's championship is not blown out, defeating a giant team along the way, and hitting the worst, and even some media rumors that UEF's plan to kill Ajax has failed.

The results are enough, but the problem is that Ye Qiu, a spoiler, doesn't seem to be liked by the awards.

Mourinho's results are also very good, the winner of the League Cup, Portugal's double, and the same treble, but Mourinho's weight is obviously inferior to Ye Qiu, how can the League Cup compare with the European Champions Cup?

Bosque and Lippi's calls are not small, but it is Ancelotti, empty-handed, but AC Milan's performance is indeed good, from this point of view, it seems that Ye Qiu is more likely to win the award, because according to the principle of watching the Champions League in odd-numbered years, Ye Qiu should indeed win.

But in the end, this award was given to Jose Mourinho, who won the League Cup, which not only made Ye Qiu a little surprised and disappointed, but also made everyone in the audience in an uproar, no one expected that it would be given to Mourinho.

The only thing Mourinho can get is the League Cup championship, but the problem is that when Ye Qiu won the League Cup, the best coach of the year was given to Heathfield, the champion of the European Champions Cup, but now the situation is the other way around, the same odd-numbered years, the same League Cup and Champions Cup, but UEFA gave the best coach of the year to the winner of the League Cup.

There's a lot to do here

Ye Qiu smiled somewhat wryly when he heard the host call out Mourinho's name, because he felt that the good sign just now might be a carrot thrown by UEFA, let you taste the sweetness first, and now it is to give you a slap in the face, so that you can understand what the rules are.

As rule-makers, enforcers, and arbiters, they can play as much as they like, and who can say no?

For a long time, Ye Qiu has a relatively wide mentality about whether to win the award or not, but if he doesn't want to take it, it would be too hypocritical, he wants to take it, so he should get it now, but in the end he can't get it, his mood is naturally not happy, and his face is a little heavy.

So much so that after the award ceremony, Ye Qiu left the conference center directly, and did not accept interviews with those reporters as usual, he was not in a very happy mood now, and he didn't like to be pestered by reporters.

It's very simple, now that group of gossip must be asking him about the award, doesn't this point to the monk and scold the bald?

Ye Qiu didn't have the masochistic tendency to find himself unhappy, so he left the conference center directly.

Luckily, when he returned to London from Monaco overnight, Eliza Moon finally brought him the two men he had always wanted to meet.

After Eliza took them on a tour of Stamford Bridge, Ye Qiu met the two men at the Harrington training base and had an in-depth conversation in the office.
