Chapter 273 Welcome back to Earth!

The entire home team locker room at Stamford Bridge Stadium was noisy, and all the players looked in a good mood, all of them looked extremely excited because they had just defeated Arsenal outside and successfully advanced to the Champions League semi-finals.

The players were screaming and celebrating wildly inside. Ye Qiu, who was standing outside the corridor, could hear it clearly, but he was not going to go in because it was a player inside, and there was a locker room inside, and there was nothing. He didn't have to worry about what would happen, unless a group of naked men wanted to do something.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu raised his head and found it a little funny. His thoughts were all ruined by that group of media.

"I used to be very simple," Ye Qiu murmured suddenly for no reason, followed by a burst of laughter.

He reached the Champions League semi-finals again. This was Ye Qiu who led the team to the semi-finals for three consecutive years and won the championship last year.

It can be said that with this honor, he deserves the title of European famous coach, and no one can doubt him.

Just as Ye Qiu was smiling, the phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a text message.

The text message came from his wife Huang Chu. There was nothing written inside, just an emoji that was so excited that she burst into tears, and a lot of exclamation marks. Ye Qiu couldn't help but smile. After every game, he would receive a text message from his wife, but he didn't know where Huang Chu was sitting.

"I can't guarantee that every game will be watched on site, so, in order not to affect your mood, I won't tell you, you don't have to look for it, and then you just think I'll go to see every game."

It’s true that this kind of method of covering up the ears is really good. She sends text messages almost every game, and occasionally misses it several times because she is performing surgery on the patient. In return, Ye Qiu will also send her a text message after every surgery.

Thinking of Huang Chu, Ye Qiu felt warm in his heart. This feeling was really good, because you always knew that if there was such a woman waiting for you and supporting you, you would never feel lonely.

It's still a private phone or a text message, but this time it's not an expression, but a sentence.

"10 games left"

There are very few people who know his private mobile phone number, all of them are family, wife, and his best friend, but now it is Eliza Moon, who is far away in the United States. There is no need to guess that this text message was sent by Eliza, and she should be watching the live broadcast.

"Wait, I won't lose." Ye Qiu smiled and pressed the keyboard and replied.

Soon, a cute expression with a smile sticking out his tongue appeared on Ye Qiu's mobile phone screen, which made him laugh. Only Eliza could do this disgusting expression of pretending to be cute, so shameless.

Just when Ye Qiu put his phone back in his pocket, another phone rang.

"Ye Qiu, are you in the locker room?" Peter Kenyon's voice came from the phone.

"At the door, is there something wrong?"

Peter Kenyon smiled and it seemed that even if something happened, it was a good thing, "The boss and I will be there soon."

Not long after, Peter Kenyon, Abramovich, and the Russian bodyguard who always followed him appeared in the player passage, and they came to the door of the locker room talking and laughing along the way.

"Thank you, Ye Qiu, we won." Abramovich looked very excited, and opened his arms from afar and hugged Ye Qiu. Such intimate movements came from a man. Ye Qiu was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dodge, but he just responded politely.

"Why are you here?" Ye Qiu asked.

The locker room has always been the head coach's territory. Without Ye Qiu's approval and agreement, even Abramovich would not have entered the game casually. The Russians have always been committed to this gentleman agreement. Even so far this season, he has never appeared in the locker room.

Abramovich seemed to have expected Ye Qiu to ask this question, and immediately nodded at Peter Kenyon and signaled to say that the latter would speak.

"The boss is very happy with these two games against Arsenal. He is very, very satisfied with the team's performance, so he decided to come to the locker room in person to congratulate the players, and at the same time pre-order the team to enter the semi-final bonus."

Ye Qiu understood it, but still didn't understand it, because according to the contract signed by the team with players and coaches, it is basically linked to the team's performance. In such cup games, especially in large cup games like the Champions League, the bonus will be directly rewarded for every step forward of the team.

Just like the team decided before, after the group stage was successfully advanced, every player could get a prize of 50,000 euros. When the group stage advanced early, the prize was paid in advance, and the 100,000 yuan promotion bonus for the top 16 knockout round was also paid.

This is all based on the contract, and Abramovich does not need to come to the locker room in person unless...

"Double" Peter Kenyon also expected Ye Qiu to guess and said with a smile.

Not only did the players double, but everyone in the coaching staff also doubled the bonuses. The club staff, even everyone in the Administration Department and Stamford Bridge Stadium Management Department, doubled the bonuses.

Ye Qiu was a little stunned. If 150,000 euros doubled, isn’t that 300,000?

Although this is just the bonus of the main players, the bonus of substitutes is very small. Substitutes such as Joe Kerr and Sun Jihai were only 50,000 euros before they doubled, and it was about 150,000 yuan after they doubled. There were even fewer young players such as Fabregas and Messi, and some didn’t even have one.

Even so, this is also a considerable expense, and the bonus alone is enough to introduce a powerful star.

Seeing Ye Qiu's sudden look, Peter Kenyon shrugged, and he was also helpless.

"Wait" Ye Qiu suddenly shouted to stop, "This is not in line with the rules."

Abramovich was stunned for a moment, "Why are you not in accordance with the rules?"

"If I remember correctly, the Premier League clearly stipulates in the provisions that all Premier League football clubs must be paid according to the amount specified in the contract signed with the players, and must not exceed one cent. Otherwise, they will be fined, deducted points or even cancelled the player's registration qualification."

Peter Kenyon has been in the Premier League for many years and is very clear about the terms of the Premier League. However, he didn't remember this obviously relatively remote clause for a while, but Ye Qiu mentioned it now, and he couldn't help but realize it suddenly.

"Yes, it's good that you remember." Peter Kenyon was a little panicked.

The Premier League has formulated such terms to avoid club tax evasion and tax evasion, and to avoid some teams using bonus loopholes to evade taxes, that is, to set the basic salary very low and then pull the bonus to a very high, so as to avoid some taxes.

If Ye Qiu hadn't reminded him, that's true. Once the news is leaked, Chelsea will be in trouble.

"What should I do now?" Abramovich was very depressed. It was obviously his own money, so why did he still have to pay for it but he was still so troublesome?

Ye Qiu and Peter Kenion smiled at each other. They knew in their hearts that it would be fine to pay taxes, but in this way, Abramovich would vomit more blood, and it would no longer be just a double problem.

"Don't worry, you still promise the players double the bonus when you go in. Peter will have a solution. This kind of thing is a big trouble for others, but for him, it's easy, it takes some time," Ye Qiu smiled.

Almost every Premier League club has its own way of evading taxes, and many players are even like this. For example, Beckham really thinks that so many of his companies are built? Isn’t it just for tax evasion and tax avoidance?

"Then I'll leave it to you." Abramovich laughed and patted Peter Kenyon on the shoulder.

The bald man smiled bitterly and depressedly. If he had known, he would have directly rejected Abramovich's proposal to double the bonus, because he could have lost a lot of trouble in this way, but he is an expert in this regard and has already figured out how to accomplish this.

"On behalf of the players and all the staff, thank you, the great Mr. Peter Kenyon." Ye Qiu did not forget to hit the bald Mr.

Abramovich's big move is indeed commendable. Not only does the prize money that reaches the semi-finals double, but the prize money that reaches the finals also doubles, and even the prize money that the team wins the championship also doubles. After the doubled, the prize money of the main players will exceed 1 million euros, which is a big record in the entire European football world.

From this point of view, it is not difficult to see how excited Abramovich is about the team's performance this season.

Of course, the bonuses of the players and staff have doubled, and Ye Qiu's bonuses have also doubled, but not included the extra bonus.

You know, the extremely generous bonus he promised to Ye Qiu was paid extra, with the purpose of hoping that Ye Qiu could do his best to lead the team to the championship. Now it seems that if Chelsea can reach the end of both the Premier League and the Champions League, Ye Qiu will be able to get an additional 10UU,000 euros of 100,000 euros.

For Abramovich, this deal is worthy, because he spent 100,000 euros to buy a Premier League champion and a European Champions League champion, which greatly increased his reputation for Chelsea and the players were worth hundreds of times, without any loss.

In addition to this bonus, Ye Qiu can also enjoy a series of bonuses and treatments stipulated and listed in the contract like other head coaches. When Abramovich was talking to Ye Qiu in the locker room, he told Ye Qiu very affirmatively that the club will hold a new round of contract negotiations with Ye Qiu after the end of this season.

It is reported that Barcelona's performance this season was very bad, and they almost fell into the relegation zone in the first half. Although Rijkald's team's performance improved in the second half and was recognized by Laporta, many Barcelona fans said that the team should change coaches, and the hottest candidate is undoubtedly Ye Qiu, who is the most popular in European football this season.

Real Madrid is also preparing to change coaches. Unless Queiroz wins the Champions League, he will be forced to be dismissed. The person Florentino wants to invite coaches at the Bernabeu Stadium is also Ye Qiu.

The two giants in La Liga wanted to poach Ye Qiu last summer, but neither succeeded. Now Ye Qiu's reputation has further improved. If he can lead Chelsea to win the double championship in the Premier League and the Champions League, he will undoubtedly become the hottest top coach in Europe. For member-based clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid, high salaries are not a problem, and results are the most important.

In Serie A, Inter Milan's mood to change coaches has become obvious. According to the Milan Sports News, if Ye Qiu won the double championship in a row at Chelsea, he is likely to retreat bravely. Morati hopes to dig the young Chinese head coach to the Meacha Stadium and lead the revival of the B&B.

Juventus' Lippi is also likely to be dismissed. Although Moji never mentioned the issue of Lippi's retention, and many signs indicate that Moji would rather join Capello in the Zebra Legion, there are many signs that Ye Qiu is likely to become a dark horse and enter the Alp Stadium strongly.

But everyone knows that with Ye Qiu's usual style, taking over Juventus means Moji's loss of power.

Bayern Munich is also actively preparing for a change of coaches. Beckenbauer has always expressed that Ye Qiu is a head coach who is very suitable for Bayern Munich from tactical concepts to overall operation. He even feels that Ye Qiu is born as a gold medal coach tailored for Bayern Munich.

There is no doubt that in the summer of 2004, Europe will usher in a trend of changing coaches. Regardless of whether Ye Qiu can win the Champions League and Premier League championships, he will definitely become the target of all giant teams, because he no longer needs to rely on trophys to prove his strength.

It is precisely because of this that after Abramovich asked, Peter Kenyon also suggested that a contract should be signed with Ye Qiu. Although he felt that Ye Qiu's salary was ridiculously high, according to regulations, a salary increase would be required for renewal.

It's true that Ferguson has spent decades and his salary is only half of Ye Qiu's. Peter Kenyon thinks that Ye Qiu's salary is too early is reasonable, but the problem is that Ferguson and Wenger were unwilling to come to Chelsea at the beginning, otherwise their salary would be higher and more outrageous than Ye Qiu.

The management doubled the prize money, which made everyone in the team feel very motivated. Even the young players such as Fabregas and Messi were also excited because they all received a symbolic bonus, but not much.

But when Chelsea's morale was booming, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals knockout stage showed an incredible turn and unpopularity.

In another game in the first half of the same day, Real Madrid, who was sure to win, unexpectedly lost 3 away to Monaco. Deschamps' team used its outstanding overall football to defeat the visiting Galaxy battleship at home.

You should know that what the media discussed most before the game was not the match between Real Madrid and Monaco, but how Real Madrid would play against Chelsea in the semi-finals. Head coach Queros said with confidence that Real Madrid will defeat Chelsea with gorgeous offensive football and reach the finals again.

It's still in my ears. After 90 minutes, Queiroz's words sounded more like a joke, because they couldn't even get past Monaco, so what to talk about entering the finals? What to talk about losing to Chelsea?

Real Madrid's unpopularity is shocking, and Spanish media have frequently asked questions, why did this Real Madrid lose to Monaco? Especially when he had the advantage in the first leg, he lost away?

Ass newspaper even posted such a sarcastic and sarcastic title on the front page of the headlines of [Welcome Back to Earth], but it is not difficult to experience a hint of bitterness and bitterness from this newspaper that supports Real Madrid, because Real Madrid is a Galaxy battleship, but lost the game on Earth, which really disappoints everyone who is full of confidence in Real Madrid.

Marca also said that the failure of the Galaxy battleship has laid the groundwork since the summer transfer period, and Morientes's rebellion has allowed all fans who like Real Madrid to taste what retribution is.

"At the most critical moment, Ronaldo, Zidane, and Figo were unable to save the team; at the most critical moment, only Raul was still fighting hard; at the most critical moment, our most loyal fighter broke through our goal."

If Real Madrid's unpopularity is still lingering fear, then on the second day, AC Milan, who beat La Coruna's 4l at home in the first leg, suffered a great collapse on the away game, and the unexpected defeat at La Coruna in 04 directly created a major earthquake in the entire European football world.

Fixed ball?

I believe this is the first reaction of all those who hear this score, because it is simply too fake

In the first round, everyone, including AC Milan, was sure to win, but unexpectedly, they lost a 04 away game and were directly eliminated from the Champions League. This result was not only unacceptable for the fans, but even the players themselves found it incredible. Many people were even wondering, how was this goal lost? How was the game played?

After this game, AC Milan general manager Galliani believed that this loss would bring lessons to AC Milan in an interview with the media | What you get from it can benefit AC Milan a lot in the next few years.

However, when AC Milan's chief scorer Shevchenko was interviewed by the media after the game, she was extremely disappointed that the team was unexpectedly eliminated from the Champions League, thinking that such a collapse was incredible. When an English media asked him about Chelsea, Shevchenko revealed her appreciation for Chelsea for the first time and her disappointment for AC Milan.

Even though this is just a very small detail, I believe that in the eyes of some people who are interested, Shevchenko's position and attitude are no longer firm. After all, Chelsea performed too well this season. Even in the Europa arena, it can be said that it is invincible, and all the players in the team have increased their reputation.

Mourinho's Porto drew away without any danger and reached the semifinals smoothly.

In this way, the Champions League semi-finals are also newly released. Ye Qiu's Chelsea encounters Deschamps' Monaco, Mourinho's Porto meets Iruetta's La Coruna, and the four teams are not traditional giants.

However, the emergence of Ye Qiu and Chelsea has made this Champions League more attractive and attracted more attention from fans. Correspondingly, the bookmakers have also reduced Chelsea's championship odds to the lowest and are regarded as the number one favorite to win the championship.
